Title: Do I have potential as a YouTuber? Honest feedback wanted
Post by: Vidoc91 on November 20, 2025, 08:17:43 AM
Fellow Getbiggers,

Long time lurker, first post here. I’m 43, unemployed, natural, rocking almost 17‑inch guns – not cut like diamonds, but let’s say a bit of “fatceps.”

Recently picked up a cheap camera and a smartphone, made my very first video. Planning to keep going with more stuff filmed in my garage – I’ve got a pull‑up bar, some DIY gear, and I’m adding an ergometer soon. Think of it as a mix of construction, bodybuilding, and raw garage vibes.

I’m not pretending to be shredded or professional – just real, unfiltered, and trying to see if this concept could fly.

I absolutely love hanging out on forums, and Getbig has always been one of my favorites. So I figured, why not ask the crew here: do you think I’ve got potential as a YouTuber, or is this just another garage dream?

Link to my very first video – uncut, raw, no editing skills yet. Honest feedback appreciated.

We already have Goodrum, and he sucks on all levels.....

So no.

Say what you want about Goodrum, but he called Bitcoin. I didn’t listen, bought garbage coins, and lost close to 10k.

Hijacking this weak thread

Last night I had the strangest 1 night stand of my life

I went out drinking
 
When I arrived at the bar I got 2 double JD and cokes

All the girls looked much younger than I remembered. It's only been 2 years since I graduated, but I had the feeling that the college girls were now looking at me as an "older man"

I started to wonder if the last few years had aged me terribly. My hair did seem to be gradually thinning. Maybe this was more noticeable in the neon strobe lighting of the club, where hairs might appear thinner and the scalp might be more visible

I reminded myself that thinking this way is a fast path to misery, and that I was here to drink

After 4 more drinks, I began to feel courage

I scanned the dance floor. My eyes were attracted by a very tall blonde girl. She looked around 6’4” in flats. Perhaps 3 inches taller than me. “She’s big”, I thought to myself

She was in the middle of a circle of much shorter friends, the majority of whom had hungry-looking guys grinding against them. It seemed like pairing up was happening, but that she was still alone and looking around the dance floor awkwardly

Many men were probably intimidated her large stature, but I’ve always been into women significantly taller than me. Even so, I had never acted on it until last night

To friends, I expressed this as a desire to create “warrior sons” but this was a face-saving lie. In truth, I think there is something majestic about them, and that gives me a thrill

The best way I can describe it is that they look like they are from a different time in history, war maidens, females built specifically for battle — and so to romantically conquer them despite their capacity to kill you makes you a particularly worthy man

As I looked at her, I imagined running through the jungle after her, as she used a machete to slice the vines and undergrowth out of the way, and drove spears into the throats of vicious jaguars and any aggressive tribespeople that caused us issues

I walked up beside her, then got on my tippy toes to shout into her ear

“Are you a student?” I asked

“Yes” she said “I’m in my first year of college”

“I just graduated” I said, as I looked at her friends “it looks like your friends have found some interesting company”

“I know… I hate it. I come out to have fun, but as soon as we arrive, they always hook up with men, then I’m left alone when they go home with them” she complained

“Why don’t you teach them a lesson by taking me home?” I proposed

Her eyes widened, looking me up and down

I smiled “I want you to carry me out of here”

She look at me stunned, then crouched down and scooped me up with her powerful arms. My weight seemed like nothing to her. Then, she did a slow 360 degree turn, almost as though she was showing off a newborn child to everyone, then walked straight for the exit

Her house was strange. The front door didn’t open too far, because it was blockaded by her bed. We both squeezed through the small gap and into the room. It was truly huge. And even more baffling was the equally huge bed

“This isn’t normal student accommodation” I said

“My parents are rich, they didn’t want me in cramped dorms” she said “and bed is 16 king size beds pushed together, 4 X 4”

“Why so many?” I asked

“Because I’m so tall, my feet stick out of the bed and would always get cold, so my father made me one big bed by screwing together 16 beds, so they’d never stick out again”

“Makes sense” I said

“I will lie naked in this corner”, she pointed to the far right corner of the bed

“And you must begin here”, she pointed to the diagonally opposite corner

“if you can reach me without creaking the bed even once, then you can take my virginity”

She stripped completely naked, then carried me to my corner, before laying down naked on hers and whispering “good luck…”

I stood up and said “I’m too rich for this nonsense”, then walked straight home

Not chasing 1RM numbers these days – just maintaining tone and keeping the fatceps alive. As for grip, I almost closed the Captain of Crush #3 – missed it by a single hair. For the record, I’ve got small hands and a 7‑inch wrist, so it’s extra brutal

While waiting for some honest reviews of my toilet chicken symphony, I’ll share the construction process of the bathroom itself. First pic: empty formwork with black plastic for the concrete, about 30 cm high for the base slab. Second pic: fiberglass rebar installed – 2 layers plus diagonal reinforcement (thanks eng‑tips forum for the idea). Fun fact: the rebar is straight from Russia, so this bathroom is literally motherland‑reinforced.

There were good parts and not so good parts. Not so good parts outweighed the good.

I did not like the opening part with the Warning Message. It made no sense and does not work. Scrap that ASAP.

I enjoyed your chicken serenades and I liked your humming as you puttered around. Please don't kill the chickens.

But then some parts after that seemed like you were trying too hard to be funny. Seemed forced and not genuine.

I think if you just be yourself and take us along with your chicken life, that would be interesting to watch.

You’re right, the laughter part did come across a bit forced. Truth is, right before filming when I actually went for a real number two, I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. In the video I had to act it out, so it ended up looking a bit staged. At least I’m glad you found something good in there.

Here’s binding wire I used to tie reinforcement. Ordinary iron wire? Nah, that’s a slow time bomb in concrete. Explodes after 50 years, sometimes earlier. Iron swells 6x, concrete crumbles. I want this thing to last for generations — makes it green, do not you agree? Or at least greener than your grandma’s rusty balcony.

If this video was meant to be funny it failed and if it meant to be informative it failed too.

A nonsensical 39 minute unprofessional “review” is hard to comprehend who this was made for other than you.

Try making it 5-10 minutes long where it tells useful and interesting facts.
Teaches people and is funny for its substance, you like odd facts or irony etc.

Find a good lead in image and a click bait title.

Glad you at least gave it a shot. But clearly you’re suffering from TLDR‑syndrome — the type who tosses Crime and Punishment in the trash after half a page. Some folks just can’t handle serious art. I appreciate the feedback anyway, and in the future I’ll try to make the videos shorter to satisfy the TLDR legion.

I want to make it in YouTube — lost 10k in shitcoins, so I spent 12k to build a shithouse that will stand multiple human generations and filmed it. My make‑it car is an Audi Q7 V12 TDI 368 kW Quattro. It’s old, starts at 20k, better ones only around 50k — quite a bargain. Plan is to make money with YouTube. If the cash flow ever gets serious, I’ll start reviving shitcoins, especially SAFEMOON (put 4k into that one). The channel name is Just Overkill and I’ll print it on the car — perfect ride to advertise the channel.

Yeah, true — you can edit on phone or PC. But it still took me 14 hours to upload the uncut version. I’ve only had my smartphone about 4 weeks, I’m a total beginner. Tried CapCut, even bought credits, and in the process my credit card got blocked. These programs constantly want you to register and make accounts, so the time and nerves just get drained. On top of that, some programs didn’t even recognize the Osmo Action Pocket 4 camera file format, so I had to convert it — total chaos for me. But I’ll keep trying.

Here’s a picture of stainless steel rebar, 6 m long, AISI 304, 12 mm, loaded in the trailer. The reason for using stainless is simple: it’s not a time bomb that expands 6x when rusting and lasts much longer. A good example is the Progreso pier — built around the 1940s with stainless, still standing today. In the 1970s they built a parallel pier with regular rebar, and it dissolved in seawater within a few decades. Seawater is salty, just like a person urinates about a teaspoon of salt at once — that same salt would immediately start forcing regular rebar to corrode fast.

Post by: Vidoc91 on November 21, 2025, 12:15:21 AM
Here’s a picture of how I fixed the base slab (30 cm thick concrete plate) before the walls go on top. I poured a 10 cm high and about 12 cm wide ridge on the slab, like a tongue, that lines up exactly under the monolithic wall. Inside the tongue I set vertical fiber rebar that ties into the slab. Some people have said the joint should be dovetail‑shaped for better connection, but I keep things simple. Honestly, with such a small tongue I doubt a dovetail would even work — concrete is weak in tension and the short fiber rebar wouldn’t anchor much anyway. What really matters is stopping shear movement, so the ground, frost, and other forces don’t push the walls off the slab. I could have just left the rebar sticking out of the base slab and poured the walls around it later, but I read that glass fiber rebar doesn’t tolerate UV exposure, so I didn’t want to leave it uncovered.

Here’s a picture of stainless steel rebar, 6 m long, AISI 304, 12 mm, loaded in the trailer. The reason for using stainless is simple: it’s not a time bomb that expands 6x when rusting and lasts much longer. A good example is the Progreso pier — built around the 1940s with stainless, still standing today. In the 1970s they built a parallel pier with regular rebar, and it dissolved in seawater within a few decades. Seawater is salty, just like a person urinates about a teaspoon of salt at once — that same salt would immediately start forcing regular rebar to corrode fast.

99.9% probability this is the most impressive double‑vault DIY composting toilet in the world. Anyone disagrees — show me the proof. Pump trucks waste valuable material by dumping it underground in landfills, while soil degradation is speeding us toward hunger. My toilet solves that problem: completely green, lasting generations, and returning compost to the soil. Greta would be proud. And some clown here thinks nobody cares about my toilet — just remember, we are two meals away from cannibalism.

One guy in a construction forum complained about a possible rust nest that this mushroom (rebar chair) could create. Without supports the first row of rebar cannot float in the air. If you put the mushroom under, it’s the same potential rust pocket. At least I used stainless steel, so the risk is minimal. Show me a better engineering solution, not just nitpicking. And for anyone curious how it actually looks after the pour — in the video around 8:30 I point directly at that mushroom.

Here are some pictures of how I tightened my formwork using threaded rods and wooden clamps. The pressure from fresh concrete is massive — it behaves like a liquid and pushes against the forms from every side. If there’s any weakness or ‘give’ in the setup, the whole pour can go wrong and the structure will collapse or deform.

Here are some pictures taken just before the pour. The adjacent fieldstone wall’s lime mortar had completely crumbled, so I tore it down to the ground and rebuilt it dry. That way I could utilize the leftover concrete between the stones. It was useful to have a place to dump the excess, since you never calculate the exact amount of concrete anyway. And I really love the look of a fieldstone wall.

Hijacking this weak thread

Last night I had the strangest 1 night stand of my life

I went out drinking
 
When I arrived at the bar I got 2 double JD and cokes

All the girls looked much younger than I remembered. It's only been 2 years since I graduated, but I had the feeling that the college girls were now looking at me as an "older man"

I started to wonder if the last few years had aged me terribly. My hair did seem to be gradually thinning. Maybe this was more noticeable in the neon strobe lighting of the club, where hairs might appear thinner and the scalp might be more visible

I reminded myself that thinking this way is a fast path to misery, and that I was here to drink

After 4 more drinks, I began to feel courage

I scanned the dance floor. My eyes were attracted by a very tall blonde girl. She looked around 6’4” in flats. Perhaps 3 inches taller than me. “She’s big”, I thought to myself

She was in the middle of a circle of much shorter friends, the majority of whom had hungry-looking guys grinding against them. It seemed like pairing up was happening, but that she was still alone and looking around the dance floor awkwardly

Many men were probably intimidated her large stature, but I’ve always been into women significantly taller than me. Even so, I had never acted on it until last night

To friends, I expressed this as a desire to create “warrior sons” but this was a face-saving lie. In truth, I think there is something majestic about them, and that gives me a thrill

The best way I can describe it is that they look like they are from a different time in history, war maidens, females built specifically for battle — and so to romantically conquer them despite their capacity to kill you makes you a particularly worthy man

As I looked at her, I imagined running through the jungle after her, as she used a machete to slice the vines and undergrowth out of the way, and drove spears into the throats of vicious jaguars and any aggressive tribespeople that caused us issues

I walked up beside her, then got on my tippy toes to shout into her ear

“Are you a student?” I asked

“Yes” she said “I’m in my first year of college”

“I just graduated” I said, as I looked at her friends “it looks like your friends have found some interesting company”

“I know… I hate it. I come out to have fun, but as soon as we arrive, they always hook up with men, then I’m left alone when they go home with them” she complained

“Why don’t you teach them a lesson by taking me home?” I proposed

Her eyes widened, looking me up and down

I smiled “I want you to carry me out of here”

She look at me stunned, then crouched down and scooped me up with her powerful arms. My weight seemed like nothing to her. Then, she did a slow 360 degree turn, almost as though she was showing off a newborn child to everyone, then walked straight for the exit

Her house was strange. The front door didn’t open too far, because it was blockaded by her bed. We both squeezed through the small gap and into the room. It was truly huge. And even more baffling was the equally huge bed

“This isn’t normal student accommodation” I said

“My parents are rich, they didn’t want me in cramped dorms” she said “and bed is 16 king size beds pushed together, 4 X 4”

“Why so many?” I asked

“Because I’m so tall, my feet stick out of the bed and would always get cold, so my father made me one big bed by screwing together 16 beds, so they’d never stick out again”

“Makes sense” I said

“I will lie naked in this corner”, she pointed to the far right corner of the bed

“And you must begin here”, she pointed to the diagonally opposite corner

“if you can reach me without creaking the bed even once, then you can take my virginity”

She stripped completely naked, then carried me to my corner, before laying down naked on hers and whispering “good luck…”

I stood up and said “I’m too rich for this nonsense”, then walked straight home

This was going places

Just after the pour — here are two pictures. You can see the threaded rod protruding from the concrete, which will be used to fasten the bottom sill plate. It’s made of AISI 316 acid‑proof stainless steel, so there will be no problems with rusting anytime soon.

Three pictures just after stripping the formwork — the monolith is fully naked. I cleaned a whole bunch of tie‑rod holes with a drill to get rid of the plastic sleeves, and later filled them with grout concrete. It was a tedious job, poking the concrete into the holes with a metal rod, almost like a dentist filling cavities.

That seems odd. The first video was planned out?

Obviously you spent time putting the words on paper and then trying move them in a scrolling motion but that seemed to be the only concept that was put together.

The plan was to make it feel like a short film, but it ended up running too long. I’ll keep the next ones shorter. I still want to add an intro as a separate piece — showing a robot‑like identity awakening in the garage and heading to the toilet. Then there will be a closing clip that picks up where the main video left off, continuing the story as I encounter an apocalyptic identity, trying to jam with it, detecting its DNA etc, and eventually heading back to the garage.

Just keep at it. Seek out social media accounts and channels that are successful and follow their leads. Channels like Mr. Beast actually gives great advice on how to be successful a content creation. My biggest problem besides YouTube shadow banning my content, is consistently coming with ideas for content. Keep it short. Unless you're a podcast, you need to get your audiences attention within the first 10-20secs which is why you see a lot of channels use clickbait headlines to draw their audience in.

Here are some pictures how I built the wooden support base.

This base is needed so I can start installing the reinforcement for the suspended slab. You can also see the temporary props underneath, which will hold the weight of the concrete mass once it’s poured.

The slab will include openings for ventilation and for the toilet. The walls are monolithically cast with a toothed edge at the top — 30 cm thick concrete walls with a 12.5 cm raised section, creating a pocket for the suspended slab to sit in.

A central load‑bearing wall runs through the middle, dividing the monolithic toilet box into two sections. Overall external dimensions of the toilet box: 3.1 × 2.1 m. The height is about 1.6 m from the bottom base to the top slab.

please stop the humming. It is unbearable.

That alone makes it unwatchable.

Fair enough, but I’ll keep doing it my way — I can’t just pick any soundtrack because of copyright issues. I would use 90s eurodance if I could in my videos, it’s my favorite music.

Adding 2 more pics. This shows how I installed the bottom layer of rebar for the suspended slab. At first I used stainless rebar with 15 cm spacing, but then I started doubting because stainless rebar is less rough (meaning it doesn’t bite into concrete as well as regular rebar). So I added glass fiber in between, which makes it now 7.5 cm spacing.

Originally I planned to pour two separate small slabs, in which case the suspended slab would have needed reinforcement only at the bottom. Later I decided to pour a continuous slab over the middle load‑bearing wall, which requires two layers of rebar. The pics also show the ventilation openings and the toilet shaft opening.

Asks for feedback, rejects feedback.

There's free music on Youtube which can be used.

Sometimes silence is good too.

Or explanations, such as a tutorial.

I need to make my own soundtrack because I’m not going to pay thousands of dollars for copyrights — especially now when my channel doesn’t bring in anything. HTE (hope that explains).

Good suggestions. I’ll try different approaches — free tracks, sometimes DIY soundtrack, sometimes quiet, sometimes tutorial etc etc.

Here are three photos from different angles, showing both layers of reinforcement installed. As explained in the previous post, a continuous beam requires double‑layer reinforcement.

The red dot on the threaded rod marks AISI 316 stainless steel, which is acid‑proof and chosen for its durability. I didn’t cut corners on materials — stainless rebar, glass fiber rebar, stainless vent pipes, everything top quality.

This project is not only about building a double‑vault composting toilet, but also about experimenting with reinforcement techniques. And yes, I filmed the ‘outhouse jam session’ too, because such a build deserves both seriousness and humor.

I can not stop humming even if I try. When I was young there was a hum inside me — and now it keeps growing stronger and stronger. Guess I’m living proof that sometimes a hum can turn into a whole construction soundtrack

Yep, you have got it. The plan with this channel is to ultimately save Estonia — to turn it into a paradise‑like place that the rest of the world will want to visit, paying big money just to see how well we live. Imagine the streets full of rare beauty (for example 10/10 blond babes with blue eyes walking down the street) — pretty soon a once‑in‑a‑lifetime view that people would gladly pay for.

I need your help to grow this channel so big that I can have the money and status to take over the country simply by being so cool that people would follow me and my plans.

If I fail, the whole country fails.

Forums. Mostly eng‑tips forum. That’s where I pick up the tricks. Meanwhile, back home on our local forum I get beaten up badly for my builds — the beancounters are constantly hammering me down into the ground for wasting resources and overkilling. They tell me to go back to school and read books.

Perhaps contact your Consulate / Embassy for protection. Is your country the one Borat lives in or where Turkesterone comes from?

I’m honestly fed up with those forum bean counters who keep hammering my projects into the ground. I don’t need any protection for now, and by the way Borat is a cool dude — I loved the scene where he was chilling with a chicken on the bus. And just for context, I’m from Estonia, a small country with only about 1.3 million people.

Just to be safe, I installed a drainage pipe around the concrete vaults so no water can sneak in — composting needs a dry environment! Chances are the pipe will never see water action, since the ground slopes are calculated to keep things bone‑dry… but hey, better safe than sorry.
