Customer Reviews
Bob has got to stop.
Been listening to the show for many years. I love all three of you guys but Bob has got to stop spending so much time complaining and pontificating about his YouTube channel’s decline in viewership.
I’m a big fan of all three of you. I’ve watched every video of each of yours for probably a decade. None of your subscribers care about your video titles. None of your subscribers care about your thumbnails. We accept you have to make gimmicky titles and thumbnails to get new views. We’re fine with that.
All of your videos are entertaining and well produced. You’re absolutely right about that. You SHOULD be bigger than you are.
David obviously understood this and did what needed to be done. That’s why his channel is growing again. And you know what? He’s ALSO been making the best videos of his career recently. His personality is shining through the clickbate titles and thumbnails no one cares about anyway.
I’ve been making knife scales full time since 2018 and a lot of that is social media and SEO marketing. Way more than I expected. Way more than I’d like. I hate it but it has to be done according to what the all-mighty algorithm demands. It’s just how commerce is done these days if I want to keep being creative for a living.
It turns my stomach to hear a guy complain constantly about a decline in viewership (or sales) When he knows why it’s happening and just doesn’t want to adapt to the changes in his marketplace. We all go through this now in the digital age. YouTube, Google, Instagram, Etsy… all of them make changes every year and it’s a pain in the butt. What worked last year probably won’t work as well this year. But online marketing is a game that requires you play it or get left behind.
Bob, play the YouTube game or just get out of the YouTube business man. If you don’t want to play the game you can’t complain that you didn’t score any points.
Such a wealth of knowledge.
What a great collection of knowledge and experience.
It's getting boring
I just want to hear maker talk, not how David wants to get healthy. David would buy snake oil from a hippie at a gas station.
