Yes, it would be good to see a video of you just laying down a thick groove and comping the other player in a band so perhaps you should do that.
The style of playing you showed in your videos is not really my thing but I can tell that you spent a lot of time practicing and have some creativity. Most of these posters are probably trying to help you but a lot of the posts have ended up negative in tone and a few have been downright angry. None of us have "mastered" bass because there is always more to learn. Your 16 and you are working hard so you are on the right path. You will find in time that the space in music for solo bass stuff is really limited but that doesn't mean don't do what you enjoy. After all, we are supposed to be enjoying this.
Good luck with your playing
