Experiences – Life – Inspiration 🇨🇭🇯🇵

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much I actually enjoy being a small content creator. I know that sounds counterintuitive in the age of viral hits and massive subscriber counts, but hear me out.

I run a small YouTube channel called Karl FPV Drone Adventures. It’s nothing big. No trending videos. No flood of comments. Just me, my drones, and a few awesome people who tune in to follow my FPV journey. And to be honest… I like it that way.

Not having a big internet presence gives me space. Space to create, space to breathe, and space to actually enjoy interacting with those who follow along. I’ve realized recently that talking to a few real people—people who share the same interests, have similar goals, or are simply curious about FPV—is far more rewarding than managing hundreds of surface-level interactions.

There’s much less noise. Much less clutter. It feels more like a group of friends hanging out than a performance. I don’t feel pressure to keep up with trends or post for the algorithm. Instead, I get to focus on quality—on making something I’m proud of.

I’ve also noticed that this slower pace allows me to think more clearly about how I want to grow my channel. I’m not rushing to push out daily content just for visibility. I’m learning, experimenting, and sharing my progress. And when people respond—really respond—it feels like we’re building something together.

Maybe Karl FPV Drone Adventures will never become a big channel. And I’m okay with that. Because what I’ve got right now is something real. A handful of online buddies who care, who fly, who comment not just to be seen but to connect.

That’s worth more than numbers on a screen.

Of course, should the channel ever unexpectedly explode and attract a following so large that I can no longer sustain close interactions with everyone—I’ll have to revise how I run things. That bridge will come with its own decisions and challenges. But for now, I’m exactly where I want to be.

So if you’re a small creator too—or just starting out—don’t feel like you need to blow up to make your voice matter. You already do. Right here, right now. With one honest video, one thoughtful post, and one real connection at a time.
