When Mistakes Take You Down A Different Path

Accidents happen and they can have a positive effect.

I’ve been posting one video a week to my YouTube channel, and over time, they have slowly been picking up views and subscribers.

The video I made last week didn’t do well,so I was putting off making another until I had an idea I thought people would like.

Youtube stats

Two days ago, when I usually record this week’s video, I was playing around with my Xbox and found some streaming settings, so I decided to do a live stream of me playing a game and put it out on a new Twitch account I set up.

After I finished, I reviewed it, and it was terrible!

Low quality Video and audio levels all over the place… ahh, well, I tried.

Later that day I thought I wonder if I could salvage some of that video into a short video I could upload to YouTube.

I had a play around and uploaded it to an old account I hadn’t posted to for years…
