4 July 2020, 4:00 pmIn 2020, the year with the global pandemic because of the Covid-19 spread around the world, I was stuck at home watching videos on YouTube. I was so bored because I had no idea what to watch on YouTube. Until then, I remember that I used to have "collections" of channel idents from Astro Malaysia when I was a kid. After that, I decided to search a channel ident named Astro Ria (2015). And that's how I found TheMNetwork, a television presenter.
Once I'm done watching the ident, I scrolled down and saw an unexpected video recommendation for myself. It's a fanmade ident, and most people assumed the video is fake and plagiarized. I was attracted to watch the video and started to think about remaking the ident on my own. From what it looks, I could guess the video was made from an application called KineMaster, a free editing software app on mobile. I did the same and make it better than the video.
I used one of my old Google accounts to create a YouTube channel and uploaded it there. I also commented on the previous video that I saw and told the viewers to check out my creation. Surprisingly everyone liked it and my subscribers and views started to grow. The last thing I did before expanding my channel is to find a perfect channel username. In my mind, it's a fanmade content, so it should be named Astro Fanmade. Once it's done, I continued my journey until where I am now.
