One time, I asked my friend that I want a collab with him. And then he rants about likes/views/subscribers/whatever you called them.

At first, I'm making videos for fun. As of today, I noticed that I'm finding ways to increase my subscribers on my YouTube channel.

Because of this, I forgot that I should be doing this for fun no matter what people say about my works. And then I start comparing myself to others.

I'm asking the same friend for help and he said that I should compare my art to my previous ones.

In the end, I should be doing art just because I wanted to not because of seeking likes/views/subscriber/whatever! And I should see my previous works to see if I did better than myself. Whatever people said about my works, I'll tell myself that I did a great job!
