That's like yet another reason not to even start out building something which depends on your looks...
This is unavoidable when using a video platform, unless none of your videos actually have YOU in them.
Which, BTW, my most enjoyable YouTube channel didn't have me in any of the videos... LOL! I didn't even enjoy the channel I made which used my image in the videos. I mean I thought the shit was funny, but... meh. I just really cannot say anything about it besides "meh".
For the first decade+ of my internet fun, I basically never even associated my image with myself. There were a handful of times I actually showed my photo or appeared on video. I had a lot more enjoyable connections with people then than I do now.
I'm not saying that I'm gonna pull down my avatar tomorrow and just never even bother with associating my image again... but I will say that I've found it wholly useless to show the internet what I even look like.
And this early experience with the internet proved to me unequivocally that (at least in my case) showing one's image in no way correlates with important connections and meaningful sharing of enriching information.
Everyone will get old and ugly... there is absolutely no wisdom in building any type of framework around appearance. That isn't something which is built on a stable foundation... it's a short term "get it quick" scheme, not a longterm plan. Anything that isn't a longterm plan is a total waste of time IMHO.
