I told someone my plans one night were to just relax and edit some videos. When they asked what the videos were for, I said I had a YouTube channel and they immediately looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my eyes and ears … I just turned 27.

Personally, I don’t think ANYONE is “too old” to start a YouTube channel (or any business for that matter), especially if it’s something they’re passionate about. I DO think there are some niche’s that are a little more cringey than others once you get to a certain age, but at the end of the day, to each their own. For context, I have a great day-to-day job that I love and that pays the bills - my gaming channel is just something I’m passionate about and would love to make a full time gig (as most creators would).

For those with a channel, have you ever worried about “missing the bus” so-to-speak when it came to starting your YouTube channel? Or for the viewers, do you think the age of the creator can be a deterrent from the content itself? Would love to hear your thoughts!
