im crocheting a blanket with the softest yarn because my cat ripped my other one i made but i think i like this one more anyway but i kinda wish i had a fire place burning in front of me
Its weird to think that back then even dodie thought she missed the wave and now we are here thinking can I do it when there are millions and millions of people already here now
Yes! It really puts things into perspective. "Can I do it when there are millions and millions of people already here now" is a thought I have at least once a day".
@Elvirawith the growth of so many new content creators theres also the growth of viewers! So many more people are watching youtube now as well, so even though it seems like aaah how can i grow, like this is probably irrelevant to a lot of people but idk if you heard of the Youtuber called Dream who grew from 1k subs to 10 million subs in 1 year. from 2019 to 2020 people thought like its way too late in the game, but it's not! Young people in the US (can't speak for elsewhere as I don't have the stats) actually watch more YouTube than TV. So while it seems like it's saturated, there are more people to watch it. I think the best way to reach a bigger audience if that's what u want is look into SEO.
Okay, I'm pretty sure "P" is the first letter of the second word, just looking at the chalk marks underneath. With the information from Yesterday derived by the same process of looking at the chalk marks underneath the letters, We know that "U" is the second letter of the first word. So Far we have: _ U _ _ _ A P _ _ B _ _ _
If we think that "Problem" is the last word, that means that the second "B" is probably in the first word, so the first word could be "Numbs" or "Burns", and I'm sure there are more, but "Numbs a Problem" or "Burns a Problem" do sound like they could be dodie albums/ song titles, with the latter maybe being a bit too violent
I'm pretty sure that the second B is in the middle of the first word, next to the U because when she drew it there were two blank lines on either side of it. So that would make it _ UB _ _ A P_ _ B _ _ _
@Clay Whelan I think that could be right, but as @Chloe Payne said in another comment reply,
"What she meant by “threw us off” is that in her first video, she showed the “a” and the “b”. In the second one, she showed the same “b”, so she “threw us off” by adding the seemingly extra b, where there is only one b".
I still think there is another "B" somewhere in the words, because dodie also said "i can tell you 100% I didn't knit a whole letter for no reason i promise it is still relevant lmao THIS IS FUN" , but I don't think it needs to be next to the U, although it still very well could be
honestly i was thinken that the second b was part of the name of a single, the rest is album title because when she knitted the b she said it'd throw us off idk sjks
@Ysa Labaco Yeah, I just saw that and I think it's probably "Build" or "Built", although I was thinking of "numbs" and "burns" as in present simple tense, saying something like "this numbs a problem" or "this burns a problem" similar to how one would say "this fixes a problem"
Also, regarding the placement of the "U": if you look at this moment of her last video: https://youtu.be/xxRRbWO6dz8?t=406 and you look at the chalk lines underneath the U and the one right next to it, Under the U the line is straight at the beginning, and then gets craggly and broken towards the end. The line next to the U is mostly straight, with a small break at the beginning and a larger one towards the end. If You look at this moment of her first video: https://youtu.be/hdADvbcrw8I?t=402 the only two lines that match that description (and the image when screenshotted and put next to each other) are the second letter of the first word, and the third letter of the first word, making the U the second letter of the first word.
I will also say, I am a flawed person, and my perception of very small blurry chalk lines may be incorrect, but based on the information I was given this is what I have concluded
@Valerie Rodrigues I thought of this as well without looking at the comments at all and thought i was a genius lol... my bets are on that one my friend
@ally p I agree that it could be the name of a single, but as of right now, we have very little to go off of, so until we learn enough information to say that there is a high likelihood that another "B" isn't in the set of letters, I would rather try to speculate with more information than less information!
nice! An hour ago I was literally googling 7 letter words starting with p and containing b - problem is truly one of the few that made some sense. Unless it is "parboil", "phobias", "preborn" or "piebald" :D
@Dobro Topeda lol yeah, I did the same thing with 5 letter words with "u" as the second letter that also contained "B", which is where I came up with "Burns" and "Numbs" but I completely missed "Build" and "Built"
@Obviously not me Yeah, I do think it could be "Quite", but the main difficulty with "Quite a Problem" is that here: https://youtu.be/fFpOnGIVUOE?t=354 she says "I do seem to have knit another b" so there is probably two "B"s somewhere in the phrase unless as Ally P said earlier she is knitting more than just the one phrase. I think it still could be "Quite" or the Last word could be "Pebbles" or something else, but I think there is probably at least two "B"s in the phrase
Maybe the second B is because you can switch two letters, possibly a word that has one meaning with one letter and switch that letter to a b and it has a different meaning?
if you’re thinking about the tiktok creator fund, be careful bc it is known to absolutely KILL the amount of views your videos get so they don’t have to pay you as much. just keep that in mind if it’s something you’re looking into
Yea, don’t do it if you use your platform to advertise other projects your working on. So many small businesses have left the creator fun because their sales dropped because their advertisements just weren’t reaching people anymore
i honestly didn’t know i needed this.. it’s hard to stay motivated when you’re not seeing many awards for your efforts, but sometimes i guess we need to take a step back and remember why we’re doing what we are; music is my love and i couldn’t survive without it, which makes it worth the trouble in the end. thanks for the video 💞
This might be a reach, but it seems like she hints the position of each letter with a different signal at the beginning of each video:
-the letter U: one clap (no sound, but you can see her hands) = 1st position -letter B: three pop sounds with her mouth = 3rd position -letter P: seven finger snaps = 7th position
So we have: U _ B _ _ A P _ _ B _ _ _ Unbox a problem?
these type of videos bring me right back to 8th grade. I was going through a really rough time with coming out and losing someone really important to me, So, I would just loop like,, 30 videos of yours with some Conan Gray in there as well. I didn’t need any antidepressants because I had your content to cheer me up
🥺💕 her videos really were antidepressants, lol I have lost count of how many times I would just click the "oldest-newest" button and just watch them one by one at night💕 stay strong, you're amazing
The little musical intros remind me of "Air So Sweet" from last year and ugh I love themmmm Also so resonate with the overwhelming-ness of the magnitude of the platform now. Even as a consumer, its a bit overwhelming, its so hard to keep up. I'm goad you've found a little corner that you can work in and share the 1% with us! :D

LADS I am pretty sure dodie has written a book. Here is my evidence:
I went on Storygraph to add Secrets for the Mad to my list of books... and saw a new book listed under her name called "Untitled Short Story Collection"... first published 2020. Here we go.
EDIT: I CHECKED GOODREADS AND THERE'S A FULL SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK ON THERE JUST SEARCH DODIE CLARK ON GOODREADS
Edit 2: okay dodie herself confirmed it's not a book but this was still a WILD RIDE
@lunamoth i'm so shook and i cannot believe i've figured it out... bc even if these videos aren't teasing the book's release... it's clearly coming out soon enough anyway
Honestly, want it to be true (and i hope it is), but if you look at it it says it was published on April 1st 2020 (so like, April Fools), the amazon link for the book says it comes out in 2050, and someone else found something on I believe the publisher's site that says "publication cancelled"
@claire hmm yeah, you're right, I checked all the things you listed... i still think there's a solid chance of this being real (an April 2020 publication being pushed back makes a lot of sense) but you are definitely right as well
@Kate M wait hold on... remember back in April she blessed us with ALOSIA? maybe she had originally been planning to do the letters thing with those videos
@Emilie Grenham :0 omg totally could've been... this is twice this year we've had scheduled videos after a good few years of her not making regular videos
@Emilie Grenham she said in that video that something official was happening later in the year that didn't have anything to do with alosia but I think if she originally was gonna do the letter announcement with alosia that would make sense bc of those few websites saying the short stories were scheduled to be released in April !! Either it's all coming together or we're going mad lol
@todwellondreams noooo she says in the video that it had a story about someone who can read minds :(( I'm surprised that the short stories with a full blurb would be on so many websites if it was a project that never even properly began (since the initial book deal was turned down) but Im starting to doubt this is a book announcement now : (
ALSO a really big hint for a new album are those harmonies at the start of each video. They do sound like a beginning of a song. It has to be an album!
@Belinda Bauer yeah, you're damn right... i even thought she might be trying to throw us off bc of COURSE she'd put music at the start of her videos teasing an album... but then sneakily reveal a book
@Kate M she said in another comment it had something to do with a book she pitched way back but it ended up not coming out anyway or something along those lines
I love having this little corner of the internet to listen to you just have a little chat. It is genuinely a breath of fresh air. The internet right now has so much...muchness at the moment. It can make me feel like I’m screaming in a room full of people who are already screaming. You have reminded me that i can literally create whatever i want. Just do it for yourself. Thank you, Dodie :-)
Dodie...you literally posted this video in the best time possible. I was sobbing last night for having an existential crisis bc I'm being judged for being a useless piece of crap at home who doesn't do anything to make a living. The only thing I could do is study well.
Starting to make content is kinda terrifying in a way, the vulnerability and fear of rejection is palpable. trying to get into it showed me that. This video came at a very good moment for me. Thank you
I remember Echo Gillette (another YouTuber) at one point made the point: Enjoy your near-invisibility while you can. When you're a small creator with less of an audience, there's less pressure and you can get away with experimenting creatively more. I think that's also helpful to remember the positives of being smaller. Good luck!
Oh my god. I’ve been so nostalgic recently for my “old YouTube” crew. Charlieissocoollike, dodie, Carrie Fletcher, Dan and Phil, Tyler Oakley, MusicalBethan. The way back. YouTube used to be so happy and silly and fun. Everyone seemed so carefree and their videos were so light and evidently I was not exactly ready for all of us to grow up.
This actually really really resonates with me. I've been struggling with posting music online, worried about being too late to the scene...so these words really mean a lot. Thank you :')
Dodie you have got me so messed up after you hid a song in your videos I literally can not watch your videos without over-analyzing literally everything, and NOW you've got this hangman crossword thing and it is MESSING ME UP
Thank you for this, dodie. I'm finally trying to put out my music after years of being too scared (and being in school). Feels good to have the encouragement of one of my favorite creators online. Thanks for the music, thanks for the words, I'll still be here listening 🧡
I’ve ALWAYS wanted my own YouTube channel dedicated for my art and I finally decided to do it a few months ago. I’m still kinda scared about it but videos like these help to encourage me to keep going so thank you Dodie! 🥺❤️
the first B was the one we saw the placement of. but when you compare both B’s, they look identical & the lines underneath them are the same too. plus in the comments of the second B video she said something about making a mistake that would throw us off, so I think she showed the B twice
alibean 234 she also said she didn’t knit a whole extra letter for no reason, so i presumed that while the hangman scene was the same the B was still intentional and comes into play somehow
haven't finished watching it yet but just wanted to say that I'm really confused over the witchcraft/hints. But I'm enjoying one video day thank you for the content dodie 💕
This video fell on a day of me feeling quite disenchanted, as a new video maker struggling to make a dent online. As always your sweet words give me a boost to keep pushing when I needed it, thank you Dodie 💜
I love Jack's content, and he gives me inspiration. Also, love your video based around these videos, also love your content and this video. Now is easier than ever to get started as we all carry phones that has an amazing quality, and we can all make much better videos than those created 10+ years ago.
Been slowly setting up my own YouTube channel so I can post art stuff and this video made me feel far less stressed about it all, thank you

Thanks to you, I'm actually working actively toward that goal of sharing my art. I write stories, poetry (I wrote something that made you cry six month ago, and this last month, I made it into a song), I sing and others stuffs.
You're one of my heroes because you give me inspiration which in turn makes me want to transform my life and make it better. In short, thank you Dodie for making my life better =)
My constant dilemma, should I start posting consistently on Youtube or is it too late? And everytime something happens, I say, if I started a year ago/two, three, five years ago, it would be fine, even though I still thought it was too late then, and this goes on and on and on and on.... 😂
I've been on YouTube for so long. I've had multiple channels and none of them ever had more than 500 subscribers, but I loved making every single video and even though most of them are lost forever, I will be forever grateful that this platform gave me the freedom to create and explore a new hobby that I didn't realise would stick for so long when I started as a tween.
Dodie, you are my comfort blanket right now! I recently moved to an apartment all by myself and it's so nice to get back home in the night and have your videos to keep me company... I've been following you for a very long time, and listening to your voice just makes me feel at home. Thank you for these 13 days!
I'm very late and you probably guessed it by this point but I think each one is part of a song from the new album: from what I can tell this one is the "oh I won't be like them" from Cool Girl
i 'joined' youtube this year (been watching for many years) and i do feel like I missed EVERY wave... but one day i just said fuck it, im just gonna start because thats the hardest part. and it was (and still is) because i have a hard time comparing myself to other creators who have big budgets amazing quality and dedicated fans, so why would people wanna watch me
but i do love making and sharing my music, thats what i always wanted to do so now at least i have that little outlet for my ideas i was scared to share. thanks for that little reassurance dodie
I swear dodie, you always make videos with messages that I need to hear in the moment. Like I legit don’t know how you do it. So thanks, I’m gonna listen to you, I’m gonna put some of the stuff I’ve been working on out there :)
A part of me wants to be some kind of creator, but I feel like I'm not skilled in any one thing to create content about. I think I see so many fantastic creators and artists that I unknowingly put some pressure on myself to do all the things right now. I want to do something great because I constantly watch other great people doing great things, but I don't know what great thing I could ever do.
Whenever I see a creator on any platform ask what type of content they should make, my advice is always whatever YOU want to make. Make stuff you enjoy making, people don't follow for your content they follow for you.
okay but like... this was honestly a bit inspiring for me. i've dreamt of becoming a real youtuber for a while, but have been feeling especially unmotivated for the past couple months because it just seems pointless, like i'm never gonna get anywhere. but now i feel a little more motivated, so thanks!
You should join youtube WHENEVER you want to. Even if your channel doesn't take off, it's so important to follow your creative urges when they come up.
hi dodie I just wanted to tell you how happy these little daily videos make meee, like I literally look forward to when they com out and I'm excited to see what the letters meannnn
I started an educational channel 2 months ago and it's so disappointing to have missed that golden age. But feeling like it's an honour to be on the same platform as the people who've inspired me is often what keeps me going. Thanks for this :)
Thank you so much for this dodie!! I post singing vids on Instagram and it takes me soooo long once I record a vid to actually upload it! I rewatch it over and over again before posting it because I'm so nervous that people won't enjoy it or that they will judge me. Then once I upload it I struggle to watch it back again because I find it so cringy even though I know I shouldn't be worried about it. I think recently I've felt a lot better about it. I wrote a cute, cheesy, original ukulele song last year and haven't shown my followers yet because I'm so scared to put my own creation out there!! But I guess I just have to bite the bullet and post it. My followers are so supportive and I am so thankful for them. Thanks again dodie, you are a huugee inspiration. Lots of love x
This is what I needed to hear. Things are making sense in my life and the world around me slowly but it’s driving me mad thinking about it all the time but I have so much art to share because of it but I am afraid
If I ever have a major following on YouTube, Instagram, etc, I'm going to look back and say, "It was dodie who made this possible, because one day long ago, during the year of the great plague, she inspired me to truly commit to my art." 😊
my mental health dipped recently and these video remind me of being back in school and watching dodie after school 🥰 it’s giving me that warm fuzzy feeling
I love your content so much !!! Please keep being your same beautiful self forever and ever!!! I never knew I needed relaxing knitting videos until now!! Thanks for being awesome !!!
dodie, this will probably get lost in the ocean of comments but i am 13 and i really love making music and I have been thinking for SO LONG to start a channel but I never really built up the nerve to do it because ✨ anxiety✨ and watching this helped me and i have decided i am now going to make a youtube channel of my music and covers ahhhhhhh this helped me so much dodie thank you :)
I remember Echo Gillette (another YouTuber) at one point made the point: Enjoy your near-invisibility while you can. When you're a small creator with less of an audience, there's less pressure and you can get away with experimenting creatively more. I think that's also helpful to remember the positives of being smaller. Good luck!
thank you. I've been wanting to create content for so long but I get so held down with not thinking that I'll be fun or interesting but this is so empowering I think I'll start
I’ve been wanting to post more on YouTube since I started my channel 6 years ago but even back then, I felt like I had missed the first wave and it was too late for me. Now I feel like it’s really too late, at least for YouTube. What should I do?
I met my now husband 8 years ago through a YouTube gathering, very few know the real reason to this day as it was such a nerdy meet. Nowadays gatherings aren't the same.
I joined youtube 3-ish months ago cuz quarantine, I feel like a speck in an ocean and it is liberating - since I don't need youtube to live, I do it for fun ^^ Thanks for the motivating video Dodie!
I did the makeup tutorial from earlier this week (ish) and I highkey loved it it?? The idea of making your own tinted moisturizer and gently setting it with powder. I found my new daily makeup :)
I just started posting YouTube videos about a month ago, and it’s definitely overwhelming! I’m 25, and feel like I’m too old to just now be starting. This is such a nice video. Thank you. 💜
As someone who is still carving out her space on the internet and trying to find her footing, this is so inspiring. You don't need to be like everyone else. Be uniquely you and people will love it. And if they don't that's fine, because you love it. Thank you dodie
I put off creating my own channel for like a year, but I'm glad I did cuz it's one of the most fun things I have ever done =) So I agree, if you wanna do it... JUST DO IT!
As an aspiring film student who’s afraid of the internet and just recently started posting little vids, I’m taking this as a sign to keep going 💞 thanks dodie!
I have been watching Youtubers since like 2009/2010 when I was in secondary school and everyone I spoke to about it was like “u weirdo why would you watch someone talking to a camera”. And now YouTube is so popular everyone and their Uncle watches it. I mean, Zoella was on bloody Bake Off. It’s so crazy. I sometimes miss when it was just this little community but it’s nice that there are so many opportunities for creators.
i relate to what you said at the start so much I've started and deleted a channel so many times over the years because someone irl would find out and I would be too embarrassed but now here I am in 2020 starting again with my 7 subscribers and I couldn't be happier I'm okay with little to no subscribers I didn't do it for the numbers or the views I do it as a creative outlet after being out of acting college for 6th months and I'm having fun! the quality is not the best cause I cant afford equipment atm but I'm hanging in there
I was just thinking about this today. How I would probably have felt way less insecure about not being good enough if I had been on yt back when it was just a small thing. But I still love making stuff and I guess that's all that matters 🤗
ya I relate about not knowing what platform to use i find it really overwhelming trying to keep up with content from people I follow when they’re posting on like 4 different things every day
This is great advice ive just started making videos after years of wanting to but never having the confidence. So glad ive started even if nobodies watching
Wow i really needed to hear this. I just filmed a video of me singing an original and added fun textures to it, but man it's the posting part that's hard. Okay you really just motivated me ahah I appreciate it.
This video came at such a good time for me because I just uploaded my first video after wanting to do it for so long. Dodie is so sweet and supportive and she’s inspired me for so many years. I’ve loved this videos the past few days. ❤️❤️
As someone who has done youtube for 7 years and it took them just this year to reach a 1,000 subs and such it was a fun, but challenging journey to get there. I feel like now it's kinda harder to make it your job so don't go into thinking you can make it your career.
Go into it as just a fun hobby for now and make anything your heart desires, just have fun. Patreon and KoFi are pretty good platforms for people to also support you on there as well, if your interested in doing that.
So that's it! The world is slowly dying so have fun while you still can.
I think it's so easy to feel discouraged because youtube and other medias are so much crazier and suckier than they were before, but we can still make content and have fun. We can be the ones to bring back the genuine fun and creativity of old youtube, we just need to try
I've been wanting to start posting videos on youtube since i was 12, and I NEVER HAVE. I've always just put it off, but really, what's the worst that could happen? JUST DO IT
this video is like a warm comforting and gently encouraging hug. i'm making videos for myself, and to try and see if this is sometin i want to keep doing but i hate drawing attention it. and every time i do i feel like i'm ignored by people who follow me because i'm lost in some sea of the too many famous and more entertaining people. i hate displaying my channel and showing people i'm friends with because its stupid and ridiculous and just crappy content. i'm not that funny or entertaining, and its just something for myself and somehting to share with the few people that never watch my videos. idk what i'm doing here. besides that, this video just made me feel valuable in a mess of... idk, doubt? i feel like it can work for me i just need to keep going and enjoy the content i create. thanks dodie.
I am currently working on getting equipment (my computer currently, is shit), and every time I think... "eh, maybe not. I mean, who'd wanna watch that?" my favorite creators pop up and say "Just do it!" Thanks Dodie.
I have a small YouTube channel and I have to admit that I often feel overwhelmed, but the thing is that as an artist I feel the need to express myself and communicate with others. The hardest part is that most times it seems that others don't care about what I have to say, however if what I do can help even just a couple of people I try to remember myself that that's enough. I started my channel cause you helped me so much in the hardest times of my depression, and I hope to pass that blessing to others. So yeah, just my two cents about the topic.
The second word is definitely problem! And when you look up “Dodie books” it comes up with a book called “Untitled Short Stories”, with the synopsis saying it’s “a haunting fantasy of a ghost who finally sees the solutions to her own life’s PROBLEMS but can’t do anything about them.”.... I know she has an album coming out soon, because she’s said so many times this last year. But I believe this may be a book announcement.... what do y’all think?
i feel like self doubt for me is the main thing holding me back from being consistent because i enjoy what i do and making music and so on but constantly question whether i’m good enough until it reaches a point where i have to remind myself that loving what i do is what’s most important. it’s hard but knowing there’s so many people out there feeling the same way and having some kind of support is ... uplifting at the same time i guess? idk - what a ramble this was
Yeah, one of the most important things my mother taught me is that you don't need to give your energy to assholes. It only hurts you and they don't care.
Did you read my thoughts dodie? I have been struggling so long with "do I make a video? Do I not?" I have so much doubt whether it is still worth it or not. Who would listen to me? You know. And a friend has been telling me to "do it" (in the tiktok voice) but i don't know... and now you posted this and I am like?! Is this a sign from the universe?!
Oh my god, this helps me SO MUCH !😂 Ok so, I've been tracking this down and now I can finally put this possible album title together! In the videos after her nostalgic live stream, she knitted 1 A, 2 Bs, 1 U, and 1 P. With this in mind, let's put together this possible album title:
P _ B _ _ A _ _ _ B _ _ _
This seems like a possibility, BUT it could be this:
_ _ B _ _ A P_ _ B _ _ _
Why, I HAVE NO IDEA YET! However, the one thing I can't figure out is this 'WHERE DOES THE DANM U GO!?' I am loosing my mind because of this! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!😂😂👉👈
I've been thinking about making costume sewing videos, a la Bernadette Banner and Angela Clayton and Rachel Maksy, but from the perspective of someone really truly just beginning. I have made 4 pieces of clothing ever, but I want to show the process. And this is making me want to go for it more than anything!
Thank you dodie for your kind words of inspiration 🥰🤗
I actually started my YouTube Channel just a few years ago to make little covers and it’s been a lovely journey. I’ve bought new instruments and learned all kinds of editing. It’s been really fun!
personally, it's easy for me to see that for every hate comment there's 100 good ones to focus on instead. it's easy to laugh at one person wasting their time on hating you when so many people are behind you. it helps you to be less afraid. <3
I was practicing my mandolin last night. I looked for a song on YouTube. I found a beautiful girl, unknown to me, playing it and singing. And I thought, why bother. She already did it better. But I practiced anyway. And today, I am happy because I played, instead of didn't.
I’ve only properly started uploading my music stuff since the start of lockdown, and MAN i feel overwhelmed with all the choices of different platforms.🙃 i mainly post on youtube ‘cause it allows for longer & higher quality audio, but the algorithm is so hard to crack!! as much as i like making content/art for myself to enjoy, i’d really love it to be seen by more people :/
i do covers of songs from musicals if anyone’s interested ;))
you followed me on tiktok a while back and i didn’t want to make a big deal out of publicly in case it dehumanised you but i honestly can’t explain how excited i was because i always say how i feel like we’d be really good friends if we knew each other
Aaayyy thanx for inspiring me. I was thinking of uploading my song covers to instagram for a while now. This video might be just the nudge I needed to do that!
is there a specific reason for pulling back from youtube? i feel like you used to almost overshare, and now you've gone to the other end of the spectrum. This in no way is criticism or hate, it is just curiosity.
@Dinxters after reviewing the videos and looking closely at the lines, I have concluded that U is definitely the second letter of the first word. others have suggested it might be "build" instead and I am more inclined towards that being the answer :)
I made content when I was, like 9 or 10 because it was so fun for me. I’ve made all different kinds of content throughout my life and started so many different YouTube’s for it.😂 I’m attempting again because I’m a professional illustrator and wanna show my process. It’s truly funny how to be a part of old YouTube before it was super cool and now look at it.
I started on YouTube over a year ago and I have like 200 subs, yeah I'd love to grow but also it's lovely to just ~make~ videos and see what I can do make each video that lil bit cooler or more interesting I most likely want to work in film industry anyway when I'm older, so my main motivation to make good videos is because it's practice for whatever aspect of film I end up creating as a career, rather than being motivated by veiws. But mostly it's just really creatively fulfilling and fun!
To me, the hardest thing about starting (not just YouTube but any new social media account) is the pressure to perform well/ get as many likes as possible... I always feel like people are judging me when I'm uploading stuff and it's not recieveing many views etc., but maybe that's just me being insecure :')
Idk if we've already made this clear BUT I'm pretty sure these past three uploads are a campaign for the pre-launch of a new album or single. And the intro harms are from the main song of the album of from the single and the letters she knits are forming the three words she unofficially announced on the end of the first video (three days ago, "she knit"). Pretty excited for the new music, would kill for it, especially during these times that we're all stack home and the same music keeps repeating (discovering music gets tiring at a point).
Not guna lie, I used to be like actually in love with you😂 until you stopped making YouTube so much 😭 now youre too cool for everyone and all famous and whatever
god hearing dodie say she can’t imagine wanting to try youtube right now,,,, thats exactly how i feel i really wanna put my stuff out there but god i am so intimidated by the other millions of even more talented people out there. the fact that there are so many people out there in the first place is scary. its so oversaturated part of me is like, “why even try? what are the odds you’ll even stand out a little bit?” yknow? but idk, i’ll keep trying because music is my passion and its the only thing i wanna do. and after all, the only way i’m gonna amount to anything is to try. so idk k thanks for indulging me yall byeee lmaoaoao
Kelly Stamps said to only make content others may find useful and... I oop!
I’m not a musician, in fact, I’m quite tone deaf and lack rhythm.... but I like dodie because we have a similar calming yet chaotic energy. Aaaaand I started my channel last month 😱
I'm so happy she started uploading videos ;&; (also question, remember the video she did about the abusive relationship? I can't find it anywhere help ?)
i am trying to make art but it’s hard, ive posted a few covers on here and i’ve worked so damn hard on them that it’s discouraging when they don’t get attention. I won’t give up tho
what if she is releasing an album and the first seconds of each videos are the first second of the songs in it? also, maybe the "p" letter is for "preorder"? idk i'm dumb
Hi anyone else on the same wavelength n think the beginning harmonies are the beginning to a single/opening song to a new album? (Similar vibes to arms unfolding) Hmmmmmmm got my tin foil hat on x
Me just sitting here, listening to you saying all of these things that i really really appreciate to hear from you like :') and then you showning that P at the end with my name being Paula and that definetely being relevant to that and the P not just being part of a teasing something that's coming soon like :o
I've spent my whole life (well, not my WHOLE life. But the majority of it.) wishing and waiting for the right time to make videos and I just feel like it'll never happen :/
I've been a daily vlogger for 11+ years. Small YouTubers like me helped YouTube to become attractive to Big Media. And now that it is, as far as YouTube is concerned, we don't exist.
This could not have arrived at a better time as I literally ( finally) have just started to upload content on my youtube channel. I've been saying to myself to try Youtube properly for years, and now that I've graduated, it seems like the perfect time to try and get my work out there. I've felt so discouraged by the world's events and all the competition out there online, but if anyone can be a Youtuber and create great content, why can't I? Thank you Dodie for the inspiration, I needed that today!
Tysm im gonna take this as a sign <3 Does anybody have a dilemma of weather to make content in english or in your native language? If you faced it before how did you go about it?
Not personally bc I make musicy vids but I have seen other people who make content in their native language and then add subtitles to make them more accessible! Honestly I think what matters most is what language you feel most comfortable expressing yourself in.
Felt this I’ve been trying to YouTube since 2015 I’m not great at confidence so I don’t post as much a so wish I could But I need to be nicer to myself. If I wanna sing a lettuce song cover... I’m fuckin GONNA OKAY. Lmao I don’t wanna do that but ya know lol. BUT SERIOUSLY I think that NOW MORE THAN EVER is the time to do the things! The lovely online things! There are so many people here that you WILL get some sort of audience!
Maybe a bit off topic, but the second minecraft wave/ renaissance has come to the internet, and it's a wild ride. To see such a huge new community that had been dwindling for a while just explode with new content and creators, with millions of people experiencing new found love for a game is so lovely. And the community is just so much more closely knit, and so much friendlier and made up of old and new generations who all get along and play games and are so passionate about what they do. It's honestly wild and I'm glad I get to see people earnestly fall in love with a block game again
I know this has nothing to really do with the video, but if anyone knows what specific guitarlele dodie plays for Just Fine, could ye let me know. I have a guitar and ukulele and im lookin for a lil sum sum in between
Ok, but don't you guys ever feel presured to post more? and also, is creating videos really a healthy thing to do? Just spending literally hours or days on creating a script, editing, doing thumbnail and posting? I'ts so much work, idk, I started to hate it. Does anyone relate?
I recorded my first attempt at a youtube video back in 2014 and never posted it. This past week I had a second go at it and actually uploaded but it’s unlisted and will probably stay that way XD it is quite scary
It's not scary. It's all in your head. Just do it. Don't expect so much for the first few months or even a year, but at least start and stay consistent and learn every day. Learning small things every day will help you a lot in the long run.
I'm not sure if anything I can create sould be seen as art to most people but I'll try. I just left school to focus on my health and this seems like a good time to try. ♡
dodie maybe you should consider supporting a new platform for musicians to show themselves more specific, like better audio compression but also better sharing functionality like rearrangements and covers with the copyrights baked in, along with additional room to share sheet music, chords and lyricsless versions as a specialised platform. idk, maybe this exists, and I know even if you started it it is hard to give it any power (I know the brainiacs of youtube have been working hard to promote curiosity stream but haven't managed to make it work) - but you definitely represent a significant portion of "old youtube" musicians which would give you a lot of platform to make it work.
most of the content on youtube is not rly inspirational or creative anymore. Unfortunately, there are too many people without any talent doing things other people did before and make tons of money out if it. The really creative people are falling below the radar and yeah - they quickly loose the thrive of sharing their amazing talents..
I know that no one is gonna read this but fuck it... I've been fantasizing about making a yt channel for a few years and I've been ACTUALLY thinking about it for over a month and NOW this video pops up on my reccomended and at the end of it she pulls up this giant P that she's been knitting and it's the initial of my fucking name.... should I really do it?
i know exactly what you mean about the pressure of not wanting to create content because there’s so many talented people out there making advanced videos - for a while that put me off too, and i ended up being stuck making content i didn’t enjoy. i’ve tried finding my feet again making what i have fun making because it got to a point where i was like- so? yeah there’s people with whole teams of editors producing extremely professional content, but that’s just not me and that’s ok!! making what you enjoy, as you say, is the best thing you can do on this platform
Okay, but how to not get discouraged at lacking an audience and feeling that no one cares about you/your art/creations? Of course, re-framing it to be about a form of self-expression and art for the sake of art, rather than intentionally seeking an audience makes sense, but even still. It's difficult when you care about something and want to share it, but there is little to no engagement from other actual people. As the metaphor goes, "It's discouraging to bake a cake and then have no one eat it."
dodie i have a very important question pls answer. did you erase and redo the lines under the letters? bc i'm trying to put it together by looking at the first video and seeing which lines look like the ones in this video but none of them look like it pls halp
You mention just creating but what if you aren’t talented? What if you are average at everything you do but still want to create and be seen? It doesn’t seem like there is an audience for that on any social media.
P Problems seek relief from a problematic future. Future tense is always blessed by the open mind of a possitive attitude. Hard to do, but love to do. P Ps: I used to eat lettuce as child when my stomach hurt from over eating. I thought it helped with the pain. In a way, it's helping today. I'm over stuffed with worldly matters yet a song about lettuce helped with the pain.
Still not cool for me with only 56 subscribers and many videos and not talented either. I do it for for the fun so doesn't bother me. I mean I like the content I make even if I know its not the best and my friends watch them and I myself watch my videos back and its nice to have something to look back on.
It's defiantly harder now. A friend of mine posted some videos over 5 years ago and he got pretty good views, but he started again 3 months ago and barely gets any views, if at all, if he doesn't share them on other websites.
i was so motivated to do youtube but its sooo hard ughhh especially if you dont have good equipment and limited time and just a bad attention span,,,, like how do i edit myself talking its soo annoying !!!
My big brain thinking powers aren't smart enough to solve this. But here's what I got The letters are the title of the album/EP and the humming at the beginning is in each of the songs. Idk tho

Holi, un suscriptor latinoamericano tratando de resolver el misterio! Jajaja. Por el momento estoy 100% seguro (lo chequié en photoshop) de que el orden de las letras es así: _ u _ _ _ a P_ _ b _ _ _
También estoy seguro de que la "B" se repite, ya que en su segundo video Dodie comentó (y la cito): "puedo decirte al 100% que no tejí una letra completa sin ninguna razón, prometo que sigue siendo relevante, lmao ESTO ES DIVERTIDO" Lo que no sé es donde puede ir esa "B" faltante... También la "A" del medio indica que la primer palabra es un verbo? Creo?. So... Parece que lo más cercano podría ser build a problem... no sé.
Hey Dodie, I’ve noticed you’ve deleted a lot of your old vlogs. I understand that you probably looked back on them and felt you were over sharing or you just found them cringey but would you consider doing a video about how you used to express yourself online and what you’ve learned since then? Sorry if this is disrespectful and if you just don’t want to address your old videos I completely understand!
at the start of lockdown i just thought screw it, and started my channel, i just posted covers and songs and vloggy stuff, every day in lockdown, 153 days.... wow eek, dunno how i did that but it was fun and i cant wait to start making videos again once i sort out my life and schedule in sixth form, i dont even care if people watch, i only have 71 subscribers, and 2 of them are my dad lol on both his accounts, i just wanna have fun lol
i dont know where that went i kinda just typed lol in summary i made stuff, that made me happy, so people, you should go make stuff too :D
I am a small creator, like very small and I'm not saying that to promote myself because I kinda like the amount of people who watch my video because most of the things I make, I make for fun and just do whatever I like. I know if I try I can get more views and subscribers but I just like having this small little corner to myself on this huge platform. It makes me feel like there's proof that I exist but also I have control over it. I just love watching you, and many many other creators, encouraging people to make content and I wanna tell anyone reading this who is wondering if they should start making content, do it
The thing is most people don't like me in real life and I don't think I could handle the mass because I'm sure they would find me annoying too lol. Been wanting to be a youtuber for 10 years but, you know, I'll get my degree and work as a park ranger :)

In short? Don't bother.... You could put any old shit up back in the day and get followers, mostly helped by the fact that there weren't many people here. Now, even with perfect lighting, using an expensive DSLR, making your vids polished, may only net you a couple thousand subs that likely took 3-5 years to get. You have to have viral hit, or simply do videos on something that's guaranteed to be searched for, to get anywhere fast... and often that means making mindless videos, that involve challenges or something else disposable. I have none of those things I mentioned, no expensive camera, no way to get good lighting, no space to film very well, so my channel (not this one I'm commenting with) has no chance, and being that it is in the increasingly crowded area of tech/retro tech, then that just makes it harder. Oh, and I didn't upload for like 2.5 years at one point
This may be a silly question, but how do you get people to See (or listen to) your art? I’ve been writing songs for years on Insta & youtube (and now even Spotify), but I feel so invisible in the Internet crowd. It’s like they’ve got a secret I haven’t figured out yet. Is it hashtags or posting more, or tagging people & doing covers? I want to grow organically, but I feel like I’m just staying very small. A little plant in a large jungle. Is that okay?
try making tiktoks with ur song! or make a tiktok and post covers/originals/etc. the algorithm there is really good in terms of reaching new ppl. also sharing your music on reddit forums maybe? theres dedicated music subreddits
I want to start making music and posting covers of me singing online but idk where?? I’ve posted a couple on my YouTube but at the same time tik tok seems like such a good way to get it out but I also have no idea how it all works cuz I JUST GOT IT HAHAHA. In my head, tik tok is full of inconsistency??? Like one thing may blow up and the rest is dead and futile?? I also don’t know how I feel about if it were to bLoW uP, how it would feel being known just for a 60 second video when you know you’d like to be known for much more??? Idk I hope some of y’all relate cuz I’m STRUGGLING.
abbup P _ _ _ _ / a /_ _ _ b _ _ _ whEre dOes The Other B and U go my guess is it’s like something to do with building or something crafty themed with the like big knitted letters like the ones they have in primary school yanno Option 1 (listen I am in lockdown I need some going to occupy me) - P_ _ _ _ / a / Problem (?) So the b and u would have to be used in the first word Plumb lol Option Two P _ _ _ _ / a /_ _ _ b _ _ P_ _ _ _ / a / Number That would leave the u for the first word Pound or pause? Option three - P _ _ _ _ / a /_ _ _ b _ _ Last word: jumble/rumble/doubts/double Doubts grammatically doesn’t make sense so that’s out P_ _ _ _ / a /double Pound a double? Pause a rumble? help
I make videos about flying. Apparently boring videos as I only have 346 subs. I tried to make a music video this week but I got hit with copyright. It was good too. Never to be seen. I wish there was good royalty free music but it's really quite bad. Oh well, back to making boring videos.
Nuria Rivas There’s a little hangman of sorts at the end of each video (I’d assume it to be the name of her next album). Here’s the spacings: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . Most people think it’s blahblah-a-problem
@UCTCnswS1rkx-ZU-IVO4anTg we now know the P starts one of the words, and the middle is A so it could be either P _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ , or _ _ _ _ _ A P _ _ _ _ _, and we also know the B is in the middlish of a word, for instance P _ B _ _ but she also said she threw us off so it could be in the longer one
Jenna V What she meant by “threw us off” is that in her first video, she showed the “a” and the “b”. In the second one, she showed the same “b”, so she “threw us off” by adding the seemingly extra b, where there is only one b
I'm sitting here, knitting socks, listening to dodie talking while she's also knitting. My evening is pretty cool, innit.

Young people in the US (can't speak for elsewhere as I don't have the stats) actually watch more YouTube than TV. So while it seems like it's saturated, there are more people to watch it.

107 likesOkay, I'm pretty sure "P" is the first letter of the second word, just looking at the chalk marks underneath. With the information from Yesterday derived by the same process of looking at the chalk marks underneath the letters, We know that "U" is the second letter of the first word.
715 likesSo Far we have:
_ U _ _ _ A P _ _ B _ _ _
If we think that "Problem" is the last word, that means that the second "B" is probably in the first word, so the first word could be "Numbs" or "Burns", and I'm sure there are more, but "Numbs a Problem" or "Burns a Problem" do sound like they could be dodie albums/ song titles, with the latter maybe being a bit too violent
Replies (43)
I'm pretty sure that the second B is in the middle of the first word, next to the U because when she drew it there were two blank lines on either side of it. So that would make it
41 likes_ UB _ _ A P_ _ B _ _ _
U might also be at the beginning at the first word, I think it might be "unbox a problem" ???
78 likes@Clay Whelan I think that could be right, but as @Chloe Payne said in another comment reply,
64 likes"What she meant by “threw us off” is that in her first video, she showed the “a” and the “b”. In the second one, she showed the same “b”, so she “threw us off” by adding the seemingly extra b, where there is only one b".
I still think there is another "B" somewhere in the words, because dodie also said "i can tell you 100% I didn't knit a whole letter for no reason i promise it is still relevant lmao THIS IS FUN" , but I don't think it needs to be next to the U, although it still very well could be
Build a problem
97 likes@MischiefOfPikachus i was just looking back at it and yes, in the second video, the B that she showed was the same exact one from the first video
22 likesedit: I like what Valerie is suggesting, someone else also suggested that it could be "numbs" or "burns" but that wouldn't make sense grammatically...
@Valerie Rodrigues OOOOH this actually makes more sense, I think that is probably right
11 likesI think there is only one B so far. If you look at the chock lines underneath both B’s, they look the same
2 likesDefinitely "problem"! This is so fun
18 likeshonestly i was thinken that the second b was part of the name of a single, the rest is album title because when she knitted the b she said it'd throw us off idk sjks
5 likes@Ysa Labaco Yeah, I just saw that and I think it's probably "Build" or "Built", although I was thinking of "numbs" and "burns" as in present simple tense, saying something like "this numbs a problem" or "this burns a problem" similar to how one would say "this fixes a problem"
16 likesAlso, regarding the placement of the "U":
if you look at this moment of her last video: https://youtu.be/xxRRbWO6dz8?t=406
and you look at the chalk lines underneath the U and the one right next to it, Under the U the line is straight at the beginning, and then gets craggly and broken towards the end. The line next to the U is mostly straight, with a small break at the beginning and a larger one towards the end.
If You look at this moment of her first video: https://youtu.be/hdADvbcrw8I?t=402
the only two lines that match that description (and the image when screenshotted and put next to each other) are the second letter of the first word, and the third letter of the first word, making the U the second letter of the first word.
I will also say, I am a flawed person, and my perception of very small blurry chalk lines may be incorrect, but based on the information I was given this is what I have concluded
@Valerie Rodrigues I thought of this as well without looking at the comments at all and thought i was a genius lol... my bets are on that one my friend
5 likes@ally p I agree that it could be the name of a single, but as of right now, we have very little to go off of, so until we learn enough information to say that there is a high likelihood that another "B" isn't in the set of letters, I would rather try to speculate with more information than less information!
1 like@Shroom yes but she knitted a second B i think she just switched up two "B" videos and showed the wrong one

2 likesshe says "I do seem to have knit another b" so there is probably two "B"s somewhere in the phrase unless as Ally P said earlier she is knitting more than just the one phrase. I think it still could be "Quite" or the Last word could be "Pebbles" or something else, but I think there is probably at least two "B"s in the phrase

7 likesThis might be a reach, but it seems like she hints the position of each letter with a different signal at the beginning of each video:
102 likes-the letter U: one clap (no sound, but you can see her hands) = 1st position
-letter B: three pop sounds with her mouth = 3rd position
-letter P: seven finger snaps = 7th position
So we have:
U _ B _ _ A P _ _ B _ _ _

I went on Storygraph to add Secrets for the Mad to my list of books... and saw a new book listed under her name called "Untitled Short Story Collection"... first published 2020. Here we go.
EDIT: I CHECKED GOODREADS AND THERE'S A FULL SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK ON THERE JUST SEARCH DODIE CLARK ON GOODREADS
Edit 2: okay dodie herself confirmed it's not a book but this was still a WILD RIDE

@lunamoth i'm so shook and i cannot believe i've figured it out... bc even if these videos aren't teasing the book's release... it's clearly coming out soon enough anyway
7 likesshe mentioned the possibility of a collection of short stories about people with superpowers once, so could the p maybe stand for powers?
8 likesThis is wild
1 like@Emilie Grenham you're very right, and the synopsis talks about exploration of various topics through special abilities...
5 likes@Emilie Grenham omg the synopsis of the book says it includes someone who can read minds and someone who can time travel !! I'm so hyped :))
6 likesHonestly, want it to be true (and i hope it is), but if you look at it it says it was published on April 1st 2020 (so like, April Fools), the amazon link for the book says it comes out in 2050, and someone else found something on I believe the publisher's site that says "publication cancelled"
3 likes@claire hmm yeah, you're right, I checked all the things you listed... i still think there's a solid chance of this being real (an April 2020 publication being pushed back makes a lot of sense) but you are definitely right as well
3 likes@Kate M wait hold on... remember back in April she blessed us with ALOSIA? maybe she had originally been planning to do the letters thing with those videos
4 likes@Emilie Grenham :0 omg totally could've been... this is twice this year we've had scheduled videos after a good few years of her not making regular videos
5 likeswhen I thought it was an album I was excited but now that we reckon it's a book I am very excited
3 likes@Emilie Grenham ikr, i was generally hyped to be getting new dodie content after a lot of radio silence
2 likes@Emilie Grenham she said in that video that something official was happening later in the year that didn't have anything to do with alosia but I think if she originally was gonna do the letter announcement with alosia that would make sense bc of those few websites saying the short stories were scheduled to be released in April !! Either it's all coming together or we're going mad lol
3 likes@todwellondreams damn, that is interesting... maybe this is all one big red herring
1 like@todwellondreams noooo she says in the video that it had a story about someone who can read minds :(( I'm surprised that the short stories with a full blurb would be on so many websites if it was a project that never even properly began (since the initial book deal was turned down) but Im starting to doubt this is a book announcement now : (
2 likesALSO a really big hint for a new album are those harmonies at the start of each video. They do sound like a beginning of a song. It has to be an album!
7 likes@Belinda Bauer yeah, you're damn right... i even thought she might be trying to throw us off bc of COURSE she'd put music at the start of her videos teasing an album... but then sneakily reveal a book

I remember Echo Gillette (another YouTuber) at one point made the point: Enjoy your near-invisibility while you can. When you're a small creator with less of an audience, there's less pressure and you can get away with experimenting creatively more. I think that's also helpful to remember the positives of being smaller. Good luck!

0 likesthe first B was the one we saw the placement of. but when you compare both B’s, they look identical & the lines underneath them are the same too. plus in the comments of the second B video she said something about making a mistake that would throw us off, so I think she showed the B twice

Then once I upload it I struggle to watch it back again because I find it so cringy even though I know I shouldn't be worried about it. I think recently I've felt a lot better about it. I wrote a cute, cheesy, original ukulele song last year and haven't shown my followers yet because I'm so scared to put my own creation out there!!

unbox a problem sounds actually good.. i'd imagine that's how it feels in therapy each time
0 likesThe second word is definitely problem! And when you look up “Dodie books” it comes up with a book called “Untitled Short Stories”, with the synopsis saying it’s “a haunting fantasy of a ghost who finally sees the solutions to her own life’s PROBLEMS but can’t do anything about them.”....

To me, the hardest thing about starting (not just YouTube but any new social media account) is the pressure to perform well/ get as many likes as possible... I always feel like people are judging me when I'm uploading stuff and it's not recieveing many views etc., but maybe that's just me being insecure :')
0 likesIdk if we've already made this clear BUT I'm pretty sure these past three uploads are a campaign for the pre-launch of a new album or single. And the intro harms are from the main song of the album of from the single and the letters she knits are forming the three words she unofficially announced on the end of the first video (three days ago, "she knit").
0 likesPretty excited for the new music, would kill for it, especially during these times that we're all stack home and the same music keeps repeating (discovering music gets tiring at a point).

Maybe a bit off topic, but the second minecraft wave/ renaissance has come to the internet, and it's a wild ride. To see such a huge new community that had been dwindling for a while just explode with new content and creators, with millions of people experiencing new found love for a game is so lovely. And the community is just so much more closely knit, and so much friendlier and made up of old and new generations who all get along and play games and are so passionate about what they do. It's honestly wild and I'm glad I get to see people earnestly fall in love with a block game again

Of course, re-framing it to be about a form of self-expression and art for the sake of art, rather than intentionally seeking an audience makes sense, but even still. It's difficult when you care about something and want to share it, but there is little to no engagement from other actual people.

0 likesHoli, un suscriptor latinoamericano tratando de resolver el misterio! Jajaja. Por el momento estoy 100% seguro (lo chequié en photoshop) de que el orden de las letras es así:
0 likes_ u _ _ _ a P_ _ b _ _ _
También estoy seguro de que la "B" se repite, ya que en su segundo video Dodie comentó (y la cito): "puedo decirte al 100% que no tejí una letra completa sin ninguna razón, prometo que sigue siendo relevante, lmao ESTO ES DIVERTIDO" Lo que no sé es donde puede ir esa "B" faltante... También la "A" del medio indica que la primer palabra es un verbo? Creo?. So... Parece que lo más cercano podría ser build a problem... no sé.
I just have this feeling you smell like my favourite aunt? Anyways lol

0 likesHey Dodie, I’ve noticed you’ve deleted a lot of your old vlogs. I understand that you probably looked back on them and felt you were over sharing or you just found them cringey but would you consider doing a video about how you used to express yourself online and what you’ve learned since then? Sorry if this is disrespectful and if you just don’t want to address your old videos I completely understand!

0 likesI am a small creator, like very small and I'm not saying that to promote myself because I kinda like the amount of people who watch my video because most of the things I make, I make for fun and just do whatever I like. I know if I try I can get more views and subscribers but I just like having this small little corner to myself on this huge platform. It makes me feel like there's proof that I exist but also I have control over it.

0 likesOkay so the last word is problem!!
0 likesBUT WHERE DOES THAT DANG U SIT
THE P MEANS SOMETHING!!!!
0 likesIn short? Don't bother.... You could put any old shit up back in the day and get followers, mostly helped by the fact that there weren't many people here. Now, even with perfect lighting, using an expensive DSLR, making your vids polished, may only net you a couple thousand subs that likely took 3-5 years to get. You have to have viral hit, or simply do videos on something that's guaranteed to be searched for, to get anywhere fast... and often that means making mindless videos, that involve challenges or something else disposable. I have none of those things I mentioned, no expensive camera, no way to get good lighting, no space to film very well, so my channel (not this one I'm commenting with) has no chance, and being that it is in the increasingly crowded area of tech/retro tech, then that just makes it harder. Oh, and I didn't upload for like 2.5 years at one point

0 likesThis may be a silly question, but how do you get people to See (or listen to) your art? I’ve been writing songs for years on Insta & youtube (and now even Spotify), but I feel so invisible in the Internet crowd. It’s like they’ve got a secret I haven’t figured out yet. Is it hashtags or posting more, or tagging people & doing covers? I want to grow organically, but I feel like I’m just staying very small. A little plant in a large jungle. Is that okay?

0 likesP _ _ _ _ / a /_ _ _ b _ _ _
whEre dOes The Other B and U go
my guess is it’s like something to do with building or something crafty themed with the like big knitted letters like the ones they have in primary school yanno
Option 1 (listen I am in lockdown I need some going to occupy me)
-
P_ _ _ _ / a / Problem (?)
So the b and u would have to be used in the first word
Plumb lol
Option Two
P _ _ _ _ / a /_ _ _ b _ _
P_ _ _ _ / a / Number
That would leave the u for the first word
Pound or pause?
Option three
-
P _ _ _ _ / a /_ _ _ b _ _
Last word: jumble/rumble/doubts/double
Doubts grammatically doesn’t make sense so that’s out
P_ _ _ _ / a /double
Pound a double?
Pause a rumble?

1 like@UCTCnswS1rkx-ZU-IVO4anTg we now know the P starts one of the words, and the middle is A so it could be either P _ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ _ , or _ _ _ _ _ A P _ _ _ _ _,
