Heard a podcaster say "just post daily" and I wanted to throw my laptop

I was listening to some creator advice last night while editing, and this guy with 500k followers said the key is posting every single day no matter what. Like bro, I work a 9 to 5 and have a cat that throws up on my keyboard at least twice a week. I tried it for 3 days straight and ended up with a video of my cat's water bowl getting 12 views. Has anyone else tried this "daily upload" thing and just burned out fast?

I used to think the "post every day" people were just lazy and making excuses... but honestly, my thumb is cramping and my footage is garbage. I totally get the burnout now.

Man, I feel you on the "footage is garbage" part @cameronn62. I burned myself out hard a few months ago forcing out stuff I hated just to keep the streak alive. What helped me was cutting back to 3 or 4 times a week and focusing on batching a few posts at once. Way less pressure and the quality actually went up. Also, try switching to a tripod or a cheap table stand for your phone, saves your thumb big time.

Why's it gotta be every single day though? Missing a few days isn't gonna tank your whole channel. Feel like some of these gurus act like it's life or death.
