Scene to read · Motivation, Communication
Two hundred views
You are visiting your close friends Arief and Chayton at home.
Arief runs an online woodworking channel from a studio corner in the home he shares with his partner, Chayton. His slow, careful build videos get few views; the quick gadget reviews he dislikes making get ten times more and bring in some income.
The scene
Chayton: The gadget reviews pay our internet bill. The long builds get two hundred views.
Arief: The builds are why I started. Reviews feel like homework for strangers.
Chayton: Give people what they watch, then build for yourself on weekends.
Arief: You've watched both kinds. What would you do with the channel?
