Gonna Keep On Keepin' On For Now: Why I'm Not Quitting YouTube
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- There have been a number of announcements lately from some popular UA-cam content creators indicating they are going to stop or curtail their video uploads in the future. A couple people have asked me if I had any plans to stop producing Cavalcade of Food videos, which I've been doing for 13 years. The short answer is "no" - and I explain why in the video. Whether you've been watching for many years or have just joined us, you have my deep thanks and appreciation for watching!

Don't worry about the quantity of videos you produce, it's the quality that counts. You produce great content.
I couldn't agree more, bbb! Thanks so much!
So true!
My brother told me this morning, before I saw this video, "some people enjoy going to car museums but I enjoy seeing the Cavalcade collection".
Hi Peggy! I'm glad you and your brother enjoy the videos! Appreciate you watching!
You rock, Kevin! There are very few folks on YT offering episodes that are both entertaining and EDUCATIONAL. Love the vintage info - And you have a great community in the comments who are generous with sharing their expertise! Please keep on keeping on! :)
Thank you, practicalspirit! Yes, the CoF viewers are so knowledgeable and I'm grateful when they share their experience with me and others!
I absolutely love your videos! So glad you're NOT quitting. Keep on keeping on!!!😂
Thank you, Lois!
You better not quit! I enjoy your show so much!❤😊
Thanks, Martha! I'm going to keep doing my thing!
We all absolutely adore you, Ralph, and Marianne. Your cooking videos are top notch (especially the Polish ones!). Plus, the wonderful and enlightening commentary make every video a joy to watch. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention how I look forward to the next one-liner from Ralph. Keep on Keepin' On my friend. ~ Greg
Thanks a lot, Greg! I really appreciate you watching!
I try to see Ralph in reflections of things. The OJ machines were extremely shiny!
Your channel is also my happy place. ❤
So glad to hear that, BritInvLvr!
Oh good! I didn't see any of those posts. I love your channel and look forward to your videos every week!🥰 No one could you replace you and the Calvacade of Food. Love all the vintage stuff (to include everything 😆). Keep on keepin' on, Kevin! 😊😊
Thank you, GSM!! Thanks for watching!
I haven't seen any of these false claims, maybe I don't follow these channels, but I would have been very concerned if I had seen it!
Thank you for setting the record straight. Having your channel has been a huge comfort to me and I still love binge watching your older episodes. Keep on keeping on my friend!! You are loved by all us food friends!!
Great office by the way!!
Take care!
Greg, I have seen the thumbnails but not watched the videos, they DO exist, just scroll down the thumbnails on the right of your screen and you'll usually find at least one or 2 of them.
These are channels I have not followed, let alone even were aware they existed but none are whom I've subscribed to, thankfully and so far they are not (like Kevin) showing any signs of quitting.
Most of whom I watch and subscribed to are seasoned content creators in a variety of topics such as auto repair, kitchen/food related etc.
Personally, I think it's a meme do jour of the moment and yes, I'm a creator too but not posted of late due to life getting in the way at the moment but I also am well aware that we likely can't even rely totally on YT for full income, but have to diversify our income to merchandise, memberships, patreon etc as well as interacting more to the commenters (like Casey LaDelle has) and he even has a T-shirt saying I hate Casey LaDelle on it, just to stir the pot if you will. He's doing quite well, it seems, but he also has a legit business, and YT is just a part of it.
Thanks so much, Greg! I appreciate you being a Cavalcade Food Friend for so many years - you are my Minnesota connection!! There wasn't anyone who said that I was planning on quitting, but there have been a number of prominent UA-cam creators who have recently announced they were going to stop, and I heard from a few people asking me if I was going to do likewise. I'm glad that you find value in the videos and still enjoy watching the older episodes when Ralph and I were still spring chickens! LOL - thanks so much, Greg!
Thanks, John! I appreciate you watching!
... you do this for fun and pleasure and that is why it is FUN and a PLEASURE to watch your videos! Thank you, a happy friend. :-)
Thanks, Christina! I think that's the key to everything! Appreciate you watching!
So glad to hear you are here for us. As a fellow "Kevin" we all rely on your content to comfort us, linking our past and keeping us going into the future.
Thank you, Kevin!!
Thank you Kevin for the kind kudos to the Cavalcade of Food audience!! Your videos are an easy watch.....so informative and interesting, and I also deeply appreciate your efforts in providing quality content for us. I'm gonna keep on keeping on as a faithful subscriber as well😂!! Yes indeed, you really do rock😊💗💗
Well said! I agree!
Thank you very much, giro!
Thank goodness, don't know what I'd do without you on Thursday mornings ❤ Coffee and Calvacade is my tradition!
Glad I can have coffee with you on Thursdays, bbushor!
@@cavalcadeoffood me too 😊
I'm so glad your dad bought you that camera. I love your videos!
I am to! He had no idea what that camera would start! Thanks, msb!!
Seed that fueled what Kevin created since, thanks for sharing!
Oh, we would SO miss you! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Susan!!
I would miss visiting with you, Mary Ann, and Ralph. Do things in your own time. Thanks for letting us into your world.
Thanks so much, Martha!
I love vintage kitchen appliances and tools. Use them all the time. Many I received as wedding and shower gifts some were my mother's. I am 79 so they have been loved for decades.
Always nice to meet another vintage fan, pathessel! Thank you!
Your a ray of sunshine, Kevin.. I'm glad your staying...hugs😊
Thanks for the hugs, bascia!!
So glad your not quitting the chanel I love vintage appliances it takes me back to my childhood and remembering what my grandmother and my mom used in the kitchen just wanted to say thank you for sharing your amazing videos
Thank you, Phillip!
Nice to hear a little more about you. I think the same thing about the bigger youtubers, I fear some will crash and burn mentally. They are starting to cross over and do the same stories and same locations. They will run out of content. I always feel like we just stopped by for a visit to your kitchen.
Hi Debbie - those big channels have a lot of pressures to keep putting out new and exciting content, and that's not easy. I'm going to keep on doing my thing here - thank you for watching!
Kevin I enjoy your videos so much. I’ll see a mixer or other appliance just like my mother had, and it takes me back to my childhood.
Thanks, eileen! I'm glad the videos help take you back!
@@cavalcadeoffood Kevin I sold vintage Christmas exclusively and that’s what it’s all about….the memories
Thank goodness for your dad and his birthday gift to you! I so enjoy your videos! Sometimes after watching the news of the day, your videos restore my faith in humanity 😉🥰
Thanks, Judy! I'm glad my dad was around long enough to see me use the camera for Cavalcade of Food!
Thanks for the update. It was very kind of you to record a response to the concerned individuals that emailed you. Keep the videos coming Kevin, as you find the time!
Thanks, curlyqstooge! Appreciate you watching!
I’m so glad you’re not quitting. I never saw what you are talking about.
Thanks so much, Kathleen!
You're needed. Who else can I learn from about my sunbeam small appliances ❤. Blessed day!
Thank you, Art!
Thanks to you, Ralph, and Mary Ann for years of wonderful content. So glad you are continuing the channel.
It's been our pleasure, brstoffel! Thanks for watching!
This is a very positive and healthy attitude Kevin! Love your videos!
Fawn 😊
I appreciate you watching, Fawn! Thanks!!
Hi, Kevin! I'm so glad to hear you're sticking around here on UA-cam. I thoroughly enjoy both of your channels. I'd be very sad if you no longer shared your experiences. Thanks for making the videos and have a wonderful week!
Thank you, Nancy! I appreciate you watching me on Cavalcade of Food and Always Analog!!
Alabama here! Glad to hear you’re not going anywhere! I enjoy your videos!😁
Thanks, Regina! Great to hear from Alabama!
I enjoy your videos-keep on keeping on! Vintage stuff is fun. Thank you for sharing your collections, recipes, and stories.
It's my pleasure, gini! Thanks for watching!
Your videos are like having a good friend visit when they are able to! I appreciate the information and history you share of your wonderful collection(s) and your sense of humor. Even going back to watch some of your earlier videos are fun and comforting to see a friend. Life is short….enjoy the journey and many thanks for bringing so many of us along!
Thank you, Diana! I agree - our time is short so enjoying the journey is so important! I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for the update, Kevin! And what a great story about your dad and the camera. I often wondered how your channel started. I kind of came in midway through. You keep making them, and we’ll keep watching them!
Thanks, John! I'll keep them coming! My dad had no idea what he started when he got me that camera!
I’m so glad you are hang in there. You are amazing. Your content is so educational, entertaining. Thanks for sharing your passion of cooking and vintage kitchen appliances and cookware, tableware and other fun topics❤😊
Thanks, meredithlynn! I appreciate you watching!
I'm new to your channel, but wanted to say thanks for doing what you do! I've re-found so many old recipes from my mom/grandma that I thought I'd never know how to make. Thanks for all the education you provide!
Thank you, Adam! I hope you are able to make some of your mom's and grandma's recipes! It's a wonderful way to always stay connected with the people of our life.
So love your channel learning the history of books, and kitchen bits and bobs and the history of all of this
Thanks, Tina!
Very happy to hear this Kevin as I’m a newbie and would have been soooo disappointed if you were leaving. I get so much enjoyment and comfort out of your videos. I am such a lover of vintage items and your collection is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Suzanne!
WHEW! The title worried me! I so enjoy your classic recipes and vintage collectibles. Thank you - keep on keepin’ on!!
Nina from Howell
Thanks for watching, Nina!!
I really enjoy watching your videos. It's fun to see vintage items so well cared for and to see what vintage recipes you find. Thank you!
You're welcome, mathgeek! Thanks for watching!
Glad to watch your videos. 😊
Thanks so much, Georgiann!
😊😁💓👍THANK YOU!!!😊❤
You're welcome, d.watson! Appreciate you watching!
I like your show, the things you do bring back memories for those who watch. I love the vintage stuff a lot. Don't quit, I also love the reason why you have the channel, its real and very heartwarming. Keep on keeping on!
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Cavalcade of food and Always analog are two of my favorites on yt. I'm thankful that you are staying the course. I am a subscriber, I look forward to each video, and your content brings wonderful memories each time. I always learn something new from the old. Thank you sir for all that you do.
Thank you, Dean, for watching me on both channels!!
Love your show every week. Always look forward to Thursday mornings.
Thanks, Betty!
You're one of my favorites. So glad you're keepin' on!
Thanks, Veronica!
So happy to hear that you won't be quitting anytime soon. I only recently found your channel and have been catching up on older content. So many creators feel the pressure to produce content that gets the most views instead of just sticking to what they love and what they know. Thanks for being true to you.
Thank you, acaliaaidras! I have always just did what I enjoyed and hoped that there would be some others who enjoyed it, too. Thanks for watching!
I love your channel, Kevin, because it's 100% original. Few people are producing content like yours. So many of the videos on YT are just clones of 50,000 other videos.
At the end of the day, it's important to do what makes you happy. YT should be about fun. When it becomes a full-time, hectic job and absolute drudgery, it's time to quit.
Thanks, russbear! I do have fun doing it and it's great to connect with people who like the same things! I'll keep doing my thing! Thanks!
My wife and I both subscribe,and we love all your content dearly!!! Glad to hear you are sticking around!!!
Thank you, 666tokarev! Glad you and your wife enjoy the videos - thanks for watching!
My husband and I REALLY enjoy your channel! We always look forward to the new videos. We also have enjoyed going through the playlists.
Hi Sandra! Glad you and your husband enjoy the videos - thanks for watching!
About a month or so UA-cam shut me off.. black screen & said must update so I was going to get help from AT&T I'm not smart on phone to adjust things so I did go to settings & fixed it YAY I love the channel so just today I notice there was a noticed a money to give to A video I only subcibe not joined,, So in short you tube has updated so maybe that's why you saw your error. Thanks for listening to a elderly lady that loves your food show.. ❤
Hi Rose! I'm glad that you enjoy the videos and thank you for watching!!
So glad and relieved you are keeping on keeping on! I so totally enjoy your fun and educational videos. I look forward to seeing you, Kevin, Ralph, MaryAnn, and your guests throughout the seasons. I do miss the radio hour on Sunday mornings and hope you can resume sometime. Thank you for all you do .
Thank you for watching, Sandra! I hope to find a new home for the Cavalcade Radio Hour eventually.
It may be small, but it is mighty!
Yes! Thanks so much!
Hi Kevin,
Your channel is fun, interesting, and educational. I also have looked and tried some of your recipes.
I am so glad that you're not quitting, you're really admired and would be missed.
Thank you, Sandra! Appreciate you watching!
I would be heart broken if you stopped your videos. I feel like you are family when you revisit one of the vintage appliances or gadgets that I remember from my childhood. Thank you for your chat today. Keep calm and carry on and on and on.
Thanks, Jane! I'm going to keep on doing what I do!
Glad you're keeping on- the joy of this channel is that it's not a glitzy full-time operation. Watching your videos feels like visiting with good friends- comfortable and fun.
Thank you, alaskaman!
Cavalade is Definitely on Our Back Road wish list tour of the USA ..
Thanks, R daSilva!
I’ve learned so much about the the yesteryear from you. My 17 year old son even understand and appreciates the craftsmanship of the older American made small appliances. He even knows your channel, he doesn’t watch you yet but I bet later on, he’d search your channel years later. Keep going, your channel is so informative and unique.
Thank you so much, Grace! I'm glad you son sees how well things were made in the past - hopefully he will be a future viewer!
Thank you for sharing tpyour collections and recipes with us. I look forward to each video!
My pleasure, Teresa! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for reassuring us. We are grateful for videos you do when it's convenient for you. You have a life too. Your videos are fun and educational too
Glad you enjoy the videos, kimworkman! Thanks for watching!
I am so glad ! I love your channel
Thanks, Tessie!
So glad you're not going away Kevin! BTW, love the typewriter and adding machine. Boy, do I remember how hard I had to punch the keys on a manual typewriter! Thank you for sparking memories of our childhood.
Thank you, Raven! When kids come for a field trip they just touch the keys and they look at me wondering why nothing is happening. When I show them they have to press the keys - and hard - then they can't wait to start typing but they tell me it tires them out! LOL!
Hi Kevin. Sooo happy you are not quitting. Love to watch your videos. Especially the cooking segments. Stay warm. Snowing here ☃️❄️
Thanks so much, Delphine! I appreciate you watching!
I am so glad to see this. With education, you always have to say goodbye to your professors, and there have been times when I just didn't want to! But with this platform, we get to see you regularly, and that makes all of us in my household so happy.
Thanks so much, Kestrel! I appreciate you watching!
Love the lighting and staging in this video, Kevin!
So glad to hear the Cavalcade carries on!
Much love to you, Ralph and the Cavalcade crew - hope to visit one day soon.
- Liza
Thanks so much, Liza!! I appreciate you watching!! Sending love your way!
We love ya, Kevin! I'm so glad you're not shutting it down, bc Iook forward to these videos. I miss the radio show so much. The dhiscontinuation really hurt, bc it was very well produced. Looking forward to next vid! Thank you & God bless.
Thank you, Sallie! I appreciate you watching me on both channels! I enjoyed the doing the radio show - I'm hoping to eventually find a new home for it where it can find an audience. Thanks!
I love your office Kevin! Best wishes and to a lot more Cavalcade in the future!!
Take Care, great video as always, Ian
Thank you, Ian!!
Kevin, I think that your 'keeping it small' is key to the reason we keep coming back. I have several of your recipes in my own little black book and not everyone can accomplish that. Bet you never thought of yourself as an 'influencer,' did you?
Hi James! No, I never considered myself an influencer (although Ralph would tell you I'm a bad influence sometimes!). Appreciate you watching and glad some of the recipes made it into your book!
I so look forward to your videos. You seem like a cousin or something. You would be sorely missed. Thanks so much for all you share. It's lovely content.
Thank you, hoomihoohoo!
I love your attitude about your UA-cam "work" and I look forward to more of your videos when you have the time and desire to make them!
Thank you, Claire!
Please don’t quit! I just found you not too long ago and you take be back in time and. Brings fond memories of my mom, who passed on 20+ years ago and if it wasn’t for your vid’eos, I wouldn’t revisited those great childhood memories as much of it wasn’t for this channel - it means a lot to me. Please don’t ever take the channel dow, I alsways want to look at them.
Thanks so much, Tina! I'll keep on doing my thing!
Good to hear that you’ll be sticking around…despite UA-cam’s inconsistencies 🥴…. I actually love it here because you are small….once channels become less intimate, the appeal for me is not as inviting……Thank you for doing what you do 😊….looking forward to whatever and whenever you post here…….I love your office btw…it reminds me of my early beginnings ….
Thank you, Ladythyme! It's great to be able to interact with food friends like you!
Love your videos so much!! Glad to hear you are NOT quitting!🥰
Thank you!
I ❤ your channel, I have been watching your videos for many years now. 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
❤Love your content. Great recipes! I like you guys a lot Ralph..Mary Ann and you too are the nicest guy! All the vintage appliances are fabulous! You are appreciated! Thank you so much!❤
You're welcome, Marilyn! Thanks for watching!
I'm very happy you're not quitting with your utube videos. Thanks so very much.😊
Thanks, Tamara! I'll keep on making my videos!
I would be so sad if you stopped making videos. They always brighten my day, and I learn a lot, too! Thanks for sticking in there with us, Kevin. Take care.
Appreciate you watching, Cynthia! Thanks!
Oh thank God Kevin. Cof is one of my favorites if not my favorite.I would of been singing the blues for sure 😊
Thanks, dicdollars! I appreciate you watching!
Love all you do I want you to keep on keeping on your great work soo grateful for you
I respect you so much. You kept this video from saying too much (& you know what I mean). I feel sorry for youtubers who must make thier living from this venue. It can be evil & I use that word advisabley. You're a unique (in a very good way) man & I share your interest in retro kitchen items. I was born in 1955 so my life was filled with these wonderful things. My hubby & I repair rather than replace the items we bought when we got married 50 years ago. I'd love to spend hours wandering around your cavalcade museum! Nostalgia is a sweet thing, but it can be sad at the same time knowing these things are gone forever. Bless you, Kevin! From a fan in San Diego. Lisa❤❤❤.
Thank you, Lisa!! I appreciate you watching and I'm so glad that you are repairing your vintage items and keeping them in service! They were built to be repaired rather than thrown away. Wonderful to hear from San Diego!
I find your videos very entertaining and educational. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talents.
You're welcome, Pam! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. I don't always leave a comment, but I watch faithfully. I love and appreciate your collections. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Thank you, Lu! I appreciate you watching!
The best content on UA-cam!! I’m so happy your not leaving !! You, Ralph and Mary Ann are great
Thank you very much, Nick!
Glad to have you going forward :) I enjoy your content very much keep up the good work buddy
Will do! Thanks, Kevin!
Glad you're still soldiering on, love your content!
Thank you, MrThomas!
I love your channel! I like it being small enough that you can often respond to comments. It makes it feel very personal! Thanks for sticking around!
Thank you so much, crystals! I appreciate you watching!
I'm glad we have Cavalcade because I love everything vintage and also love your cooking episodes. ❤ Keep on keepin on, lol
Thanks, windingroad! I'm gonna keep on!
Thank you, Kevin, I enjoy learning about your vintage collection, recipes, and hearing Mary Ann and Ralph, too. I think your viewers appreciate the authenticity of your productions. Looking forward to more Cavalcade to come! Cavalcade is a special place!
Thank you, NANSC8!
I am so thrilled to hear that you are staying on air! I truly enjoy this channel. Whenever I see a new video it makes my day!
Thank you so much, Alex! I appreciate you watching and it's great having a food friend in Kentucky!
I love your videos! Watching brings to my mind many happy memories. Thank you for making your videos!
You're welcome, Kim! It's my pleasure!
Just getting this notification...5 days later! Love you Kev. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks so much, Peaches!! Will do!!
We're glad you're staying Kevin, you know I watched your video on community cookbooks, and it reminded me of my grandma's sister who had a church cookbook that she got from Houston back in the 80s. Shes passed now but her handwriting and good recipes still live on! Have you ever heard of the Encyclopedic Cookbook? It's a 900 paged cookbook made in the 40s by the Culinary Arts Institute. Has 10,000 recipes. I really want to get it. They have a recipe for everything.
Thank you, mr.vintage! I might have a copy of that Encyclopedic Cookbook, I will have to look in the library. The Culinary Arts Institute published quite a few different versions of cookbooks. Thanks for watching!
What a great office, who wouldn't want to be surrounded by all that vintage goodness?! Thanks for doing the videos and continuing on. Not only do I eat, sleep, breathe vintage and antiques, but I enjoy exploring new recipes and learning about food, recipes, and cooking techniques from the past. So when I found your channel, I knew I was among friends. I'm not always big on modern advancements, however YT is such a gift, that it allows strangers to "meet" and share. Thanks for sharing your world with us.
Thanks, Patricia! It's been wonderful to meet so many kindred spirits, like you!
I love your channel! I just found it recently and have been binge watching ever since. I love the tours of the departments and how you share your knowledge and collections of vintage appliances and housewares. By the way, I love vintage coffee pots and percolators etc too! I'm glad you're going to continue 😊
Thank you, nealypiazza! I plan to do some more coffee pot videos in the future!
I really enjoy your channel. And I did find you on Instagram and FB. It must be difficult for those content creators who may have been restricted by platforms and are taking a hit financially. So happy you're staying!
Thank you, Donna! For those who are full-time content creators, I think there is a lot of pressure and for some it's not sustainable for the long term. There also seems to be more videos that are actually AI generated, which is a whole other world. Anyway, I'm just going to keep doing my thing. Appreciate you watching!
Love your Channel!!! Everything is just great!! Thanks for doing this
My pleasure! Thanks, Cindi!
Thank you so much for doing the videos. I have learned so much just watching your videos. I started collecting old dishes when we cleaned out my grandmother house. I was 13. Keep up the good work.
Hi Ronald! Always great to hear from another collector! Thanks for watching!
Glad you’re here. Love the videos .
Thank you, Rita!
Kevin, thank you for sharing your passion for the vintage good things of the past. What you have collected is awesome to say the least! The undertaking of creating the Cavalcade "Store" shows your enthusiasm! Keep the videos coming! You know you have a very loyal following!
Thanks so much, Russ! We'll keep them coming!
Thanks for the update
You're welcome - thanks for watching, Andrew!
Thank you Kevin! So glad and delighted to hear you plan to continue with your videos as long as you can! ❤ I just recently found your channel so I have a lot of catching up to do! I love all your videos - both the cooking and the vintage videos - and your knowledge 😊 Your enjoyment shines through, and it is greatly appreciated.
It is always a pleasure to be able to take the time to watch one of your videos - it is a bright spot in the day! I truly appreciate that you share your vintage collections with us and your cooking as well… I cook in a very different way now for health reasons, but it is still delightful to see the various recipes (and also imagining how I might be able to adapt some of them to fit my lifestyle!) and I appreciate that you do all this amidst the rest of your life and career. And whatever videos you are able to make and however often is perfect :)) No pressure :))
As long as it works and is enjoyable for you …
Keep on keepin’ on! 🙏💜🌞
Wishing blessings to all of you!
Thanks so much, MMM! I'm glad you enjoy the videos and the recipes. I think many of them could be adapted to conform to a healthier version. I appreciate you watching!
I've never commented on one of your posts, but I sure am happy that I stumbled across your channel.
I absolutely love your content. Keep on!
Hi James! I'm glad you found my channel, too! Thanks so much!
