Developing my channel ruins the hobby?

Review videos do seem to perform very well. I'd like to film some more test rides this summer, not really because I'm chasing the views but more out of pure curiosity about a few other bikes. Like the new Honda Rebel 1100 and the new Indian Chief.

Lot's of different viewpoints. I personally like to pursue a goal. Making a living is way down the list and not important as my "day" job generates adequate income. I just want to feel that there are people out there receptive to my efforts. If it feels like there is literally ZERO interest in my videos, it remains difficult to keep going just on the joy of making them. Even a few views and a new sub or two is enough to keep me going. I have a drone photography video too. I take breathtaking aerial images and then make them into digital prints with exquisitely crafted frames. They are beautiful works of art. I sold one in a period of two years and the rest gather dust in my basement. Needless to say, I don't try to sell digital aerial photography any more.

I continue to experiment with different types of videos, some longer, some shorter, some on different areas of motorcycle-related stuff, to wildly different results. I've noticed that I have to be patient - some videos don't catch on for a while, some do well right off the bat [well being relative to my channel].
The reactions to my Care Bear video are awesome, and it really makes it worthwhile to receive that feedback. I am being creative, which is what I always wanted to do, and mixing that with my joy of riding and letting my personality shine, even if that means bleeping myself out from time to time. I've got a GoPro Max now that I am loving because I can actually make my videos more engaging, longer, and it adds a whole new way to be creative and add humor.
If the channel continues to grow - well, like you said, that's the motivation right there to keep at it!
