On days when I have time to think about it, I always ask the question, "Is it worth the hassle?".
To create a classical guitar music video:
1. Select a piece - 30 minutes
2. Study it - 8 hours
3. Practice it - 40 hours
4. Record it 25 times or until you are satisfied - 16 hours
5. Edit the audio/video to pretty it up - 2 hours
6. Upload and share in social media - 1 hour
Then wait for people's reactions.......one month later....

Whereas if you post...
1. Stupid or brain-dead scenes of you making a fool of yourself - 99% effective
2. Other people's viral videos - stealing is easier and yet they call themselves content creators
3. Videos showing some flesh while dancing or playing a musical instrument - sex sells!!!
4. Pet videos - doesn't matter which animal
5. Reaction videos - why??? what for???
6. Gaming videos - really???
7. Travel blogs - by foreigners who know squat about the Philippines, but act like they do!!!
8. Top 10, Top 5, Top 40...recycled videos
9. Copyrighted commercial videos - no-brainer, but dangerous
A day later....

Despite all of these, I disregard these thoughts and always think about how I love to play music.
So in the end, it is worth the hassle.
