A guy at the coffee shop told me his one rule for posting on the hub

I was working on a video script at my local spot in Austin, and this older creator next to me saw my screen and just said, 'If it doesn't help someone, don't post it.' He explained that he only shares things that answer a real problem he had, which changed how I pick my topics. Do you have a simple rule like that for what you share?

Honestly that's a solid rule to live by. Tbh I do something similar, like what @davis.adam said about saving time. Ngl it just makes everything you put out feel more useful.

That "if it doesn't help someone" line hits hard. I try to live by something similar. Before I post anything, I ask myself if it saves time or solves a headache for the person seeing it. If the answer is no, I usually just close the tab. It cuts out so much noise. Makes what you put out there actually matter.

My buddy runs a small woodworking channel and he swears by the "three question test" before uploading. He asks if the video saves money, saves time, or fixes a common mistake. Like his recent clamp rack build, it solved his messy bench problem for under twenty bucks. If a project idea doesn't pass one of those, he scraps it. It keeps his content from just being another cool looking thing that no one actually needs.
