If Edison Posted 'Only Failure Videos', He Would Have 1 Million Subscribers
Hello, this is Nakashi.
Actually, I always failed high school Japanese class. I was terrible at writing essays and thought, 'Writing is impossible for me...'
But now, I use AI as my partner to update my note daily.
What if an 'Edison who only posts failures' appeared on social media, where people only show their successes? If I turned the King of Inventors into a YouTuber, it changed how I see success.
'Another success report again...'
Sometimes, when I look at social media, I get that feeling.
'I reached 1 million yen a month with my side hustle.'
'100,000 subscribers in half a year!'
'I passed my first-choice school!'
Of course, that's amazing.
But the person watching suddenly thinks.
Isn't everyone succeeding a bit too much?
At times like that, I think.
What would happen if that King of Inventors, Edison, were here today?
Would he only post the moment he completed the light bulb?
No.
Perhaps this man is different.
He is rolling the camera again today.
And he says with a straight face.
'Hello. I failed again today.'
An invention-themed YouTuber who never shows success.
Thomas Edison's 'Failure of the Day' channel is now open.
*For those interested in attracting traffic to note or creating note articles using ChatGPT. I have summarized tips that you can start without difficulty in an easy-to-understand way👇
From the very first video, he just fails normally
The channel name is,
Edison's FAIL LAB
The momentous first video.
The title is,
'I tried to make a light bulb and it burned out in 3 seconds'
I try playing it.
Edison turns on the switch for the prototype.
Flash.
3 seconds later.
It goes out.
Edison.
'...That's no good.'
Video ends.
Playback time: 18 seconds.
Too plain.
Naturally, the view count doesn't grow.
37 views.
2 comments.
'Good luck.'
'What am I even watching?'
However, he posts again the next day.
'I tried to make a light bulb, but this time it started smoking.'
The next day.
'An improved version of yesterday's, it broke even faster than yesterday.'
The day after that.
'I changed the materials, but it was all a failure.'
Every day, a failure.
He really isn't succeeding.
Viewers, on the contrary, started to get curious.
'When is this guy going to succeed?'
'Today's Failure' becomes a popular series.
The 100th post.
Title.
'Today's Failure #100 : Still not glowing'
At this point, for some reason, it went viral.
In the comment section,
'It's amazing that you're still at it after failing 100 times.'
"Most people would give up after about 20 tries."
"I'm starting to want to root for him."
Before anyone knew it, the viewers' purpose had changed.
At first, it was,
"I want to see him succeed."
that.
It shifted to,
"I want to see him not giving up again today."
that.
He hit 100,000 subscribers.
Edison himself was the most confused.
"But I haven't completed anything yet."
The viewers replied,
"That's exactly what's good about it."
At the 500th failure, a corporate sponsorship offer arrives.
As the number of subscribers grows, corporate offers start coming in.
A tool manufacturer.
"Please use our tools to succeed."
Edison.
"There is no guarantee that I will succeed."
Manufacturer.
"It's okay."
Start filming.
Using tools.
Experiment.
Failure.
A failure despite being a sponsored video.
Edison says to the camera.
"The tools were good. My hypothesis was wrong."
Comment section.
"Too honest"
"First time I've seen someone fail in a sponsored video"
"Actually, it made me trust the tools more"
The product sells.
The company is also confused.
The advertisement succeeded even though the experiment didn't.
The 'process' of success is rarely shown on social media.
A little bit of reality from here on.
On social media, finished products stand out.
The moment I reached 100,000 subscribers.
The moment sales grew.
The moment I passed the certification exam.
The completed work.
But in reality, there are countless 'days when nothing happened' before that.
Posting but getting no reads.
Releasing products but they don't sell.
Studying but scores don't improve.
Posting videos but they don't get views.
However, that part is rarely posted.
That is why when we see others' success,
it looks like 'that person did it easily'
to us.
What makes Edison's failure channel interesting is that it shows all of that.
It doesn't hide the 'boring process' leading up to success.
In fact, it turns that into content.
And finally, the light bulb glows
post number.
The usual laboratory.
The usual camera.
Edison says.
"I changed the materials a little today."
The viewers are used to it too.
In the comment section,
"Is it a failure again today?"
"Looking forward to the 1000th attempt"
"I'll come back tomorrow"
He flips the switch.
The light bulb glows.
1 second.
5 seconds.
30 seconds.
It doesn't go out.
Edison falls silent.
The comment section stops too.
1 minute.
It's still glowing.
And then Edison says quietly,
"...We did it."
The comment section explodes.
Wow!
I'm crying.
I'm glad I watched all 999 videos.
I'm as happy as if it were my own success.
Surpassed 1 million subscribers.
But the interesting part started here.
The success video didn't get the most views.
The next day.
Edison posts a video.
The light bulb is complete.
View count.
Decent.
But,
it doesn't grow as much as the failure videos.
Edison tilts his head.
Why is that?
The answer was in the comments section.
Sir, now that you've succeeded, you've just become an ordinary inventor.
I see.
What the viewers loved wasn't just the finished product.
The person who failed yesterday,
is back in the lab today.
That was his image.
That is why Edison starts a new experiment the next day.
Video title.
I tried to make a phonograph, but it made a weird sound
Viewers.
He's back.
In the AI era, 'failure' might become more valuable
Nowadays, if you ask AI, it can teach you quite a lot.
It can write text.
It can create images.
It can generate ideas.
The speed at which we can create 'things that look like the correct answer' is increasing rapidly.
So, conversely,
how a human failed
might become interesting.
What did they misunderstand?
Where did they get lost?
Why didn't they give up?
Even AI can create finished products.
But the story of how a person reached that point is something only they can create.
I feel that if Edison were alive today, he might have realized that.

Saying 'I failed again' is more trustworthy than success
If Edison were a YouTuber.
The reason he surpassed 1 million subscribers wasn't just because he was a genius inventor.
It was because he didn't hide his failures.
More than someone who only posts on the days they succeed,
'It didn't work out today either'
a person who can say that is strangely more trustworthy.
This might be the same for note or work.
Writing about success stories.
Of course, that's good.
But,
'It wasn't read at all'
'I tried it, but I failed'
'It was different from what I expected'
There is value in stories like that, too.
In fact, those stories might even save someone.
So, on days when you take on a challenge and fail.
You don't have to think, 'I couldn't do anything today.'
If it were Edison, he would probably turn on the camera and say this.
'I failed. Well then, I will try a different method tomorrow.'
And then he would title the video.
'Today's Failure #1000 '
Success is not the end.
The next failure begins again.
Perhaps that is just enough.
