    As an "oldie" who only started the camper trailer and now caravan travels three and a half years ago (after I turned 75) I enjoy your down-to-earth videos. I no longer follow several other YT travel videos because I am sick of the click-bait thumbnails and the incessant promotions of products. I'm not interested in wearing their apparel and I don't trust most of their promos of products. Keep it real guys like you are.

    I’m glad you are both natural and don’t dramatise your videos with a big negative opening just to get people to click, I keep watching your videos because you are real.

    Your videos are genuine and show things as they are at the time. The only way you are going to increase your view numbers is to make your videos more dramatic and unrealistic which would spoil them. For those of us who do not want to watch a sales program showing unrealistic drama, we will continue to watch you each week as we currently do. I am sure Liam and Heath will look back at your videos in 30 to 40 years to come and appreciate them better for genuine way that they were filmed today. Keep up the great work and enjoy what you are doing.

    Don’t get disheartened. I’ve been watching I think possibly since you began… we got our New Age around the same time. I don’t sleep because of my disability so I tend to watch your episodes around 3am on Saturday mornings (tough start in house so just getting to it now!). Hang in there. We are about to start sharing our videos and the road to my forced medical retirement, raising a teen, travels, buying a property and building our forever home. Some weeks we expect our world will be quite boring, and has been really lovely watching Liam grow up.

    I love how chill you two are but you made me laugh at the beginning...you've been childed and the random hair growth. Your boys are lovely. Liam is developing a great personality. Everything seems to be a big joke to Heath, but that's probably not so funny at 3am. DW about the view numbers. People who want to know what it's like to travel with little ones will find you. You are REAL and that counts for a lot! You always tell it how it is and that is valuable. Keep doing it your way.

    I think you just have to accept that being normal is just not of interest to some people but please don’t change. We would miss you dearly if you stop doing what you do. A tip for making money a bit more easily … instead of making 1 x 30 minute episode each week, make 2 x 20 minute episodes and spread them over a fortnight. You can make them both in the one week but post them over two weeks and so every second week you don’t have to do anything. It will be less effort but you’ll get the same people viewing both and so probably make just as much money with less effort. One little thing that I would suggest is that if you can find a way to better block out background noise when you are talking in your car then it will be easier to hear you.
    We watch you because you are real, you are honest, we can relate to you, you have two young boys just like us (ours are 7 and 2 years old), you go to lovely scenic locations that are not constantly in the outback and you go to places that we would enjoy going to ourselves.
    I can understand that you would like to have more viewers so as to be making more money for all the work that goes into making each episode. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are only interested in a bit of drama. For example, I see that your recent episode called “Not going anywhere” has had 22,000 views and it was great that the title was appropriate, We are very much put off by people exaggerating with titles that sound dramatic but when you watch the episode the issue was very minor. UA-camrs who are doing that are not real and we quickly lose interest.
    We have switched off from channels that spend so much of their time in Western Australia and in the outback. We are tired of watching people such as Elnick Adventures who drive their car through ludicrously stupid places and try to convince us that camping on a patch of dirt in the middle of nowhere is fun and going 3-4 days without a shower is fun (really? I don’t think so). And I immediately change channels whenever someone goes to the Ningaloo coastline because I am over it, I have seen it too many times.
    Just my thoughts.

    • @Ourwhittleadventure
      @Ourwhittleadventure  3 місяці тому +1

      hey, thanks for the feedback. yeh we have always had an issue with background noise in the car, i think we need to look into a different microphone.
      we have gone down that path of the 20 minute episodes, bumping them up to 30 is only a recent change but it has been a positive change so far, our retention levels have increased.
      I really don't mind the work that goes into them, i treat it as my hobby but i do find it disheartening when as you say 22k people watch us have a car issue but a video im really proud of (say the boating day one recently) doesn't get any attention, starts to feel like people only want to watch us suffer which we know isn't the case, we have an amazing following of regulars but just seems wrong. It is what it is we won't be changing what we do for anyone else. in essence this is capturing our life the way we want to look back on it one day and be proud of.

    I can’t understand what the issue is with your views but we think your content is just what we like. You are correct in referring to the drama and click-bait rubbish attracts the viewers but, we, and others are over the false pretentious crap that is all over the tube now. We have unsubscribed from several of those which we have watched, from the start, some of them and just don’t follow anymore. Sad and disappointing really 😢
    Keep doing what you are doing and maybe encourage more add watching? That will help the algorithm. But I’m sure you are all over it.

      Yeh it is sad when the good ones go down that road.
      I think what helps the algorithm the most is the Click through rate.
      How many see the video vs how mang click on it.
      But it really doesn’t bother us too much, we live making them and our audience will find us if they look hard enough.
      We always love your support, hope your own travels are going well, we might see you on the road later in the year
