In my opinion, you have to provide value to your viewers and do it quickly. Watch the first 30 seconds of this or any of your other videos and think about how a new viewer would react. Good luck my brother!
Hear me when I say this mate.. I couldn’t care less about cars. I just watch you for you. You remind me so much of myself and you are very down to earth on everything you say and do.
Keep at it dude, I'd see these videos more as documenting/recording memories and experiences. We love watching your stuff and look forward to the uploads to watch on the big screen 😁
Adam Ivell is his best when he is him. I have been subbed for so long because you’re such a genuine guy. When I watch your videos I get more enjoyment than I do watching a dude pour a hundred grand into a car. I’ve been here so long that I remember watching the Japan trip as it came out, I fell in love with the DC5 because of that rental. If you find yourself on the East Coast of the US in the future I’d love to be in a car feature. Thanks for always being real man 👍🏼.
Not going to lie this is the first video I’ve watched in a good while but it’s also the first video of yours I’ve seen in my subscription box in maybe over a year I’ll definitely be sticking around though
Adam stop dicking around mate and keep your channel going. Your videos are awesome and funny and your a great guy,even though I've never met you 😂 Keep it going 💪💪💪
Just do what excites you and what you find fun dude! I remember the days before money on UA-cam too, and it has 100% ruined it. Don't focus on views, they'll come when you show genuine passion in what you're doing 🙂 also my wife has ADHD too, I think it is worth getting diagnosed. I know the waiting list is insane but the medication has really improved her life. She can now finally focus. Good luck man ill still be watching! 😊
I can't believe I've been watching since you're Kanjo video! I miss seeing you have fun with friends working on your cars, and always loved the car reviews. When it feels like you're not enjoying yourself genuinely, I stop watching as I have enough negativity in my own life. So, keep being yourself, and do what you enjoy and Ill keep watching! 🙌
Lots of changes on YT over the past few years, but think there's still hope for us yet mate lol. If you're still up for some karting sessions and a chat, we should get some London ones booked in mate. Nostalgic for the train of us firing round kart tracks in london lol
You do you, dude! When you're really into something, it comes across passionately on video - I'm not really into drifting or JDM stuff, but I watch your videos on those things because they're fun :D don't try to please the algorithm deliberately, just make videos on what you want, people will watch!
I'm probably the only one who loved the 350z videos. I think with videos. One thing that always helps hold interest is having and end goal. Something to work towards. Like the aim is to make it to a drift event. For example. To complete a new challenge or experience. Etc. A journey towards something tangible at the end
It’s great to watch likes of jd but is also great to see the likes of your self doing drifting that some can afford and a level that most could possibly get you, far more relatable while jd drift and cars are a dream and what we would all want, stick at it and keep your head up and push on
I seem to love what ever u put out be it the bikes cars the blogs a ur very easy to watch and i tend to get to end off ur videos there lot ofd channels i watch i get bored off the vid so stop and move on but urs i stay to the end So thank you for doing the youtube
I definitely get the feeling you've described of looking like you've hit a sweet spot with UA-cam and suddenly it's like you've been booted off the bus and everyone else is still on it. Since starting a family 3 years ago my content is literally a small trickle. And if you think about the numbers too much you can definitely get in your head for an hour and start sweating about opportunities you think you might have missed. I love with my family and I'm obviously not regretful but I still want to keep my foot in the UA-cam door. Just because, like you mate, this thing about cars is a big part of us. Thank you for this video Adam and I honestly hope you keep doing this and don't let the anxiety of this whole platform ruin this passion for you 👍🏻
Adam keep doing what you are doing I'm half way through of the video and your content is cracking. Jamie Fyd is also cracking and getting few views but both of you are definitely the lads a wait for. Keep at it
Appreciate the honesty in this video man, I can totally relate as like you I'm 99% certain I have some form of ADHD, the hyper fixation can be a real issue for me. Been here since the Honda diaries days when I was modding my FN2 and found channel inspirational, met you at Gravity when you had a stand! Will be subbed as long as you out content out my dude. Believe in yourself cos with direction both your channels should be live again.
Good on ya mate for sticking it out. I always enjoyed your car features, Ive watch the Subaru WRX sti one loads as I've got one myself and your energy in the videos were great. Keep it up mate 👍
I'd hate to see you stop, because I've been watching you for so long, but I fully understand too. Being a full time content creator has been a life long dream of mine but making it actually happen has never been easy. Some people get lucky, some never get that break through. Watching this video has helped me to realise I have no structure either. I'm 1 minute driving a real car, next thing posting a bunch of assetto corsa clips. Maybe I need to really stick to one and focus on it. Keep going Adam!
Hope you're alright dude. Being stuck in your own head can be a lonely place. Looking forward to seeing the drift diaries and whatever else you end up doing! I totally understand that you're battling algorithms, but I'm here for you and your personality. I subscribed after watching you and peck singing Five whilst driving to meet bqr 😂
i dont think your a quiter mate, iv been around for a number of years now, some of it i watch some i dont, but your a good dude and if tube makes you happy then keep at it
It's weird Adam, I've always enjoyed your channel been watching since the civic days but I never get videos recommended so only watch when I feel like catching up and searching for your account manually. Honestly mate I wouldn't worry about videos doing well or not the OGs will still be here. Maybe it's worth bringing in some other people doing car builds get some characters involved if you get what I mean, like what Boq has done and the AutoAlex boys etc and buy a shit box do a naughty road trip
Adam I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. now you’ve mentioned the structure aspect I can see what you mean. The plans you have sound better. It must be so frustrating trying to break out to gain views. it might be worth thinking of a niche that’s different from others
I watched for a long time and never owned a honda lol. Oddly my favourite time was around when you got the legend and went to France. I enjoyed seeing the progress with 621 but understood you went to work with your auld man. Not really watched much recently but it is good to see you on the drift masters etc. You never fell out with auld Terry did you ? He went to Florida with you and never on your channel again. Finns well no happy with you no letting him out for a pish haha
Yo man not sure if you'll see this but glad to hear your personal life is good. I listened to your podcasts a couple years ago and things seemed a bit crap for ya. Definitely focus on that and take your foot off the gas when it comes to UA-cam is what I would do personally. Just upload for fun when you're inspired to do so. You've got your foot in the door with the drift community maybe just continue to build those relationships off camera? Who knows that could lead to opportunities to push purecarmodify further in that scene in future. Keep it real bro👍
Car scene has seemed so stale for a while, but it feels like it's back on a come up now. Def keep doing you, people like you, YOU are your selling point - your personality, relatability etc. Personally I think everything 'social media' wise (including youtube) is so over-saturated with content now that it's hard to get the views, but it's not because the content isn't good. It seems for a lot of people getting views it's just luck and getting picked up by an algorithm early on after posting, creating stuff that gets people talking basically seems to do more than just "good" content! Original 6two1 content that did really well was (in my opinion) very 'vlog' like whether it was showing a car build OR going and filming at a show, but the most important factor and the thing that was consistent in every video was lots of your personality on show, and nothing too serious.
I've thought the views on this channel felt low, I wonder if a lot of your subs no longer use YT anymore? (Ex Honda diaries etc) The drifting journey sounds cool and fingers crossed you start getting a new following on here 👍
Very honest video Adam, you usually are honest though to be fair. The title of this video shows you must have done something right, but glad you’re not giving it up for sure. I am still very much into UA-cam although I am still only a small channel with a small following, I’ve been trying for like 10 years, it’s not growing that much, but I enjoy it so I carry on like you are so that’s great! Camper vlogs to come? Lol.
I always thought of this channel like a true life of a car guy blog I’ve been watching this channel since my Clio 182 that I owned in the uk in around 2012/2014 something like that, and I actually bought a eg3 with a b16 swap because of watching Honda diaries then my British girlfriend broke up with 😂me and I came back to my country Portugal 🇵🇹 and I kept watching but I always thought that u were the true car guy in UA-cam someone I can actually relate too all the others like Adam lZ just got so big that it’s not that fun it’s a bit sad in a point cause JDM cars got so expensive nowadays probably because of all this guys, and I can’t afford them😅 , so yeah I like watching this channel I’ve watch this channel with other account that I deleted I’m a new subscriber but actually I know the channel for a very long time and I’ve been to car meets that 6two1 was there long time ago, so yeah keep it up don’t give up cause I want to have someone to relate to the struggle of being a car guy😅 And I like the bike content to as I like bikes and atv sport quads so yeah 👍
I personally believe a nice video idea would be vlogging your experience of drift master at each round like from travel to the event etc probably be like 45 minutes of footage once edited but I'd watch it... as for car UA-cam I feel unless your lz and Co that are banging builds out at an unbelievable rate it's hard to keep the viewers... I personally watch for you but I can imagine it's hard to film content for it to tank
I might be wrong. But, I always felt your channel as a vlog style. And not a structured channel in a sense that you have ideas lined up and then execute them. The reason I subbed years ago was due to the vlog style. It was popular back then. Especially with channels like Fun/FoodForLouis, SteveBooker, BenBrown (which interested me). I think I found your channel by searching PoloG40vsHonda and other vlog car channels. However, vlogs really don’t seem that popular now… If you want structure, nothing stops you building up a few weeks worth of videos or even a month and then release them on set days of the week. Plus; I feel the car scene has changed massively. Since when was a Nissan Micra popular? It’s all too main stream for me now. I can’t even put my finger on it to what’s changed. Even AdamC, is just boring to me. Anyway, I’m rambling. I wish you the best. Do what you like to do and not what others want you to do. You’ll find that audience again. 😊
I rarely comment. Numbers don't mean anything man. Rather have bunch of very dedicated subscribers than millions of meaningless views. The connections you make are way more important than numbers. I had over 100k subs loads of views the lot and I quit. Numbers don't mean anything. Your grow up videos mean way more than these kid friendly car channels you seen nowadays
i know it's not exactly where you're at right now mate, but i miss your Honda content. Back when you were super active in the Honda scene it was incredible- going to America, doing stuff with Jason and the like, the kanjo stuff in japan etc. to add to this: In parts of this video you talk about trying to do what other people are doing but with cars- but I don't think you get just how much of a lightning in a bottle thing the whole Honda diaries/6TWO1 Honda thing was. I forever spent time at school and college watching your videos and dreaming of a golden era Civic, and even to this day- I regard your civic as one of the true building blocks of the modern UK 'car culture'- everything you were documenting etc was so much ahead of it's time. And this is the thing, by not carving your own path- and more focusing in on what gets other people views, I think your channel has lost it's identity in that sense. I don't mean it in a derogatory way, I just think that you're a pretty creative guy, and following trends has stifled your growth on here. I've been a big supporter over the years, bought merch, parts etc and given you stickers of my own and photos at drift events when you started doing that. I'd love to see a return to the roots, something a bit budget oriented- maybe an EJ or MB build? Just something to rally the community for you again and to prove you've still got it ;-) also, toby wont give a fuck if you call it drift diaries, he aint that sorta bloke oh, and 350z content wise, bang the shorts for it mate- i think it'll surprise you swapping the format.
Depends what you are trying to achieve. If you are trying to be as big as Matt Armstrong or Adam LZ then give up but if its just for you then crack on.
Sorry mate when I uploaded this I got on a plane to Riga so I’ve not been really on here since as busy at work with drift masters, will sort when I’m home
There seems to be a thing right now that people are not getting the views that they expect they should be getting! Even myself being a small channel lately, I've knowest a drop in views. I think that over all because of the better weather and the new insight that the cough gave people, they are wanting to spend there time better than watching youtube. IMO there has been a shift in the youtube algorithm and we haven't caught on to the new tricks that it want's us to do. My advise is to film what you enjoy and what you want to do so's that it dosen't get to you as much. Also a personal hate of mine is youtuber doing stupid faces in the thumbnails xD
please please when you say ur gonna do a build actually do it urself! alot of youtubers say there going to build a car then just pay everyone else to do it! it would be loads more intresting if we watched you do it or as much as you can 😁
But I can’t do some things man, I’m not a good welder and or an engine builder so if I’m entering competition I need to know the cars going to work - hence why getting others in to help
I don’t mean this to sound dickish but your comparing yourself to people who do UA-cam as full time commitment Which your not as your successful within your own right I watched your videos for what feels like a life time you have to appreciate were your 70k sub audience is at within there own life’s kids or whatever it may be I watch you because I relate to you on lots of levels I wish you the best for whatever is around the corner No hate involved at all I try watch all your stuff but again with everyone’s life’s getting in the way it’s hard and the inconsistency of your uploads probably have a massive effect on your 70k subs to Take CCD for example his videos are set days and times and he’s consistent so his audience knows that on that day that time there is another video to watch May be something to consider if you want to start braking UA-cam again Anyway kiss on the lips with no permission please 😉 Keep doing you man all the best!
I can take the random videos and all that, the only thing that annoys me about this channel is you always used to say ‘I love making videos, It’s a passion of mine’. ‘ I’d be making them without UA-cam anyway, I don’t care about the monetisation’. Then you come on videos moaning about the lack of views, I know you need more views for more money but you say you don’t care about the money. If you like making videos just make them how you want and on what you like, your natural enthusiasm will come across and people will be more engaged
How do I say moaning without saying moaning, if u want to just make videos as a hobby do it, and don't care about views do it, but if are chasing views which what u sound like want to do surely u have play the algorithm, also 3 channels already sounds kaotic and alot of hard work which might be unhealthy for u
For me, i stopped following when you were swearing so much. Also, with the Legend you came across as a little obnoxious when you could have given away some of the parts. Also it was unnecessarily low. But for the most part, it was the shouting and swearing.
I understand the swearing but it’s a joke if you only watch people for free car parts. I sold everything I could to get the other back on the road which I did manage too.
@adamivell oh indefinitely don't watch for parts. I'm glad you sold them. I'm just saying it came across as if you didn't consider someone may want to buy them. But, I watch to enjoy your journey with cars I could relate to....to show my children. All the best for the future.

In my opinion, you have to provide value to your viewers and do it quickly. Watch the first 30 seconds of this or any of your other videos and think about how a new viewer would react. Good luck my brother!
@@eletor ❤️
Hear me when I say this mate.. I couldn’t care less about cars. I just watch you for you. You remind me so much of myself and you are very down to earth on everything you say and do.
Your wearing the right T-shirt. The lads in Ireland didn’t give up, and neither should you Adam. Keep going 💪
Keep at it dude, I'd see these videos more as documenting/recording memories and experiences. We love watching your stuff and look forward to the uploads to watch on the big screen 😁
Adam Ivell is his best when he is him. I have been subbed for so long because you’re such a genuine guy. When I watch your videos I get more enjoyment than I do watching a dude pour a hundred grand into a car. I’ve been here so long that I remember watching the Japan trip as it came out, I fell in love with the DC5 because of that rental. If you find yourself on the East Coast of the US in the future I’d love to be in a car feature. Thanks for always being real man 👍🏼.
How have I been watching you since I was 13?! You’ve particularly raised me! 😂
Hey mate!
I’m not going anywhere I will keep watching the content on any other channels. Stick at it and look forward to seeing the next videos.
Really enjoying the bike series. As someone who hasn’t rode in 8 years and looking to get back on a bike it’s been quite nice.
one of the best England Hondas on YT 👌👌
Not going to lie this is the first video I’ve watched in a good while but it’s also the first video of yours I’ve seen in my subscription box in maybe over a year I’ll definitely be sticking around though
Ive not watched or seen a video since maybe the budget 36 video but heck ye glad to see another video again
Adam stop dicking around mate and keep your channel going.
Your videos are awesome and funny and your a great guy,even though I've never met you 😂
Keep it going 💪💪💪
Just do what excites you and what you find fun dude! I remember the days before money on UA-cam too, and it has 100% ruined it. Don't focus on views, they'll come when you show genuine passion in what you're doing 🙂 also my wife has ADHD too, I think it is worth getting diagnosed.

Keep your head up dude and stay true to yourself, it'll all come good in the end just do you bro 👍🚘🏍
good for you Adam cant wait to watch how you progress on here again
Lots of changes on YT over the past few years, but think there's still hope for us yet mate lol. If you're still up for some karting sessions and a chat, we should get some London ones booked in mate. Nostalgic for the train of us firing round kart tracks in london lol
Looking forward to seeing more of your car stuff. Keep at it.

Still remember the trouble you had with the alarm on the civic when you first picked it up with Harv Good times man. 💪🏻
I've actually been doing youtube to some capacity for 15 years now.. Been fulltime doing it for 3 years. Do not quit.
I'm probably the only one who loved the 350z videos. I think with videos. One thing that always helps hold interest is having and end goal. Something to work towards. Like the aim is to make it to a drift event. For example. To complete a new challenge or experience. Etc. A journey towards something tangible at the end

Its the subaru classic review which made me sub, raw emotion pure driving
Good on ya mate for sticking it out. I always enjoyed your car features, Ive watch the Subaru WRX sti one loads as I've got one myself and your energy in the videos were great. Keep it up mate 👍
Another Best Content ever 👌
Car features are 100% the best vids to upload, go with what works dude

Move to Ireland and be a car UA-camr there. Small market ❤️ 🇮🇪
Very honest video Adam, you usually are honest though to be fair.
The title of this video shows you must have done something right, but glad you’re not giving it up for sure.
I am still very much into UA-cam although I am still only a small channel with a small following, I’ve been trying for like 10 years, it’s not growing that much, but I enjoy it so I carry on like you are so that’s great!
Camper vlogs to come? Lol.
Always loved talking to you in person, Enjoy just talking cars. All things automotive. We'd be sad to see you actually pack things in
You should bring the eg over to Ireland for one of the track days in mondello 👌
Cant justify the costs, I don’t really enjoy grip track days anymore if I’m honest mate
@adamivell well yeah that's true, and then all it would take would be a novice driver to jam on or hit the back of you and the car would be ruined
I always thought of this channel like a true life of a car guy blog I’ve been watching this channel since my Clio 182 that I owned in the uk in around 2012/2014 something like that, and I actually bought a eg3 with a b16 swap because of watching Honda diaries then my British girlfriend broke up with 😂me and I came back to my country Portugal 🇵🇹 and I kept watching but I always thought that u were the true car guy in UA-cam someone I can actually relate too all the others like Adam lZ just got so big that it’s not that fun it’s a bit sad in a point cause JDM cars got so expensive nowadays probably because of all this guys, and I can’t afford them😅 , so yeah I like watching this channel I’ve watch this channel with other account that I deleted I’m a new subscriber but actually I know the channel for a very long time and I’ve been to car meets that 6two1 was there long time ago, so yeah keep it up don’t give up cause I want to have someone to relate to the struggle of being a car guy😅
And I like the bike content to as I like bikes and atv sport quads so yeah 👍
Keep her lit boss
you went to cornwall !? dammit man i would love to of met ya mate :)
Yes.
I personally believe a nice video idea would be vlogging your experience of drift master at each round like from travel to the event etc probably be like 45 minutes of footage once edited but I'd watch it... as for car UA-cam I feel unless your lz and Co that are banging builds out at an unbelievable rate it's hard to keep the viewers... I personally watch for you but I can imagine it's hard to film content for it to tank
I tried the drift masters stuff and it did 200 views in 24 hours so removed the video from my channel live
@adamivell that's so annoying man, either way I'm here for the long run, this come back will be sweet
@@fitton15 trust me a lot is already organised in the background I just need this next 2 months out the way so it can be for filled

In parts of this video you talk about trying to do what other people are doing but with cars- but I don't think you get just how much of a lightning in a bottle thing the whole Honda diaries/6TWO1 Honda thing was. I forever spent time at school and college watching your videos and dreaming of a golden era Civic, and even to this day- I regard your civic as one of the true building blocks of the modern UK 'car culture'- everything you were documenting etc was so much ahead of it's time.
And this is the thing, by not carving your own path- and more focusing in on what gets other people views, I think your channel has lost it's identity in that sense. I don't mean it in a derogatory way, I just think that you're a pretty creative guy, and following trends has stifled your growth on here.
I've been a big supporter over the years, bought merch, parts etc and given you stickers of my own and photos at drift events when you started doing that.
I'd love to see a return to the roots, something a bit budget oriented- maybe an EJ or MB build? Just something to rally the community for you again and to prove you've still got it ;-)
also, toby wont give a fuck if you call it drift diaries, he aint that sorta bloke
oh, and 350z content wise, bang the shorts for it mate- i think it'll surprise you swapping the format.
Big up Mr 621🤝
All love adam, keep doing you ill still be a member untill you delete the channel lol 👌🏼👌🏼
Depends what you are trying to achieve. If you are trying to be as big as Matt Armstrong or Adam LZ then give up but if its just for you then crack on.
Interested to know why you have not added links to the other channels in the description of this one dude?
Sorry mate when I uploaded this I got on a plane to Riga so I’ve not been really on here since as busy at work with drift masters, will sort when I’m home
@@6TWO1 aye it's no biggy, I've found em 👌
There seems to be a thing right now that people are not getting the views that they expect they should be getting! Even myself being a small channel lately, I've knowest a drop in views. I think that over all because of the better weather and the new insight that the cough gave people, they are wanting to spend there time better than watching youtube. IMO there has been a shift in the youtube algorithm and we haven't caught on to the new tricks that it want's us to do. My advise is to film what you enjoy and what you want to do so's that it dosen't get to you as much.
Also a personal hate of mine is youtuber doing stupid faces in the thumbnails xD
Put a link to the other channel in the comments
please please when you say ur gonna do a build actually do it urself! alot of youtubers say there going to build a car then just pay everyone else to do it! it would be loads more intresting if we watched you do it or as much as you can 😁
But I can’t do some things man, I’m not a good welder and or an engine builder so if I’m entering competition I need to know the cars going to work - hence why getting others in to help
Structure is over rated random is good if we get to see what your up to
Wait thats bqrs dad
I don’t mean this to sound dickish but your comparing yourself to people who do UA-cam as full time commitment
Which your not as your successful within your own right
I watched your videos for what feels like a life time you have to appreciate were your 70k sub audience is at within there own life’s kids or whatever it may be
I watch you because I relate to you on lots of levels I wish you the best for whatever is around the corner
No hate involved at all I try watch all your stuff but again with everyone’s life’s getting in the way it’s hard and the inconsistency of your uploads probably have a massive effect on your 70k subs to
Take CCD for example his videos are set days and times and he’s consistent
so his audience knows that on that day that time there is another video to watch
May be something to consider if you want to start braking UA-cam again
Anyway kiss on the lips with no permission please 😉
Keep doing you man all the best!
I can take the random videos and all that, the only thing that annoys me about this channel is you always used to say ‘I love making videos, It’s a passion of mine’. ‘ I’d be making them without UA-cam anyway, I don’t care about the monetisation’. Then you come on videos moaning about the lack of views, I know you need more views for more money but you say you don’t care about the money. If you like making videos just make them how you want and on what you like, your natural enthusiasm will come across and people will be more engaged
When have I moaned? Even in this, I’m not moaning, just explaining the situation.
How do I say moaning without saying moaning, if u want to just make videos as a hobby do it, and don't care about views do it, but if are chasing views which what u sound like want to do surely u have play the algorithm, also 3 channels already sounds kaotic and alot of hard work which might be unhealthy for u
I don’t even remember subscribing
Well it is what it is
@@6TWO1 cheers 🍻 mate. I’m not unsubscribing. “Im not facken leaving!” - wolf of wall st.
Womp womp
For me, i stopped following when you were swearing so much. Also, with the Legend you came across as a little obnoxious when you could have given away some of the parts. Also it was unnecessarily low. But for the most part, it was the shouting and swearing.
I understand the swearing but it’s a joke if you only watch people for free car parts. I sold everything I could to get the other back on the road which I did manage too.
@adamivell oh indefinitely don't watch for parts. I'm glad you sold them. I'm just saying it came across as if you didn't consider someone may want to buy them. But, I watch to enjoy your journey with cars I could relate to....to show my children. All the best for the future.
People don't give you the credit you deserve, been saying it for ages! OG in this game! Keep your head up lad 🫶🏼
