I'm really looking forward to what 2022 has in store for us!! :) Thank you for being here after the terrible year I had in 2021. I really appreciate your ongoing support! Looking forward to the next video. - Авто та транспорт
I want to be clear that this video was meant for open discussion and I’m in no way trying to be negative 💜 I hope it doesn’t seem that way. Really looking forward to getting to know y’all in the Discord and for this year!! 🥰
SO NEGATIVE 🤣 nah bro... Tictoc, the pandemic, the adpocalips.... everything tanked and YT is really not small creator friendly and the vlog type channels reach a plateau real quick. Real shame. Keep vlogging tho... showing builds, Yes you kinda put yourself outthere.... but that's the it thing. If you aren't going to keep bringing new things on many leave, car/bike vlogs are in this loophole. I totally get you almost 2 year stop... selfcare is important. I hope to see more of you, really love all you vids, weather is a vlog or bike build or revue... bring it.
@@skorpinox appreciate the realism my dude 🤘🏼💜 agreed!
I follow for the ride and to see different places..if no more i wont be here...
"I'm still going to be making videos on UA-cam."
Eight months later...
If motorcycle videos were dead on UA-cam, no told me. I hear everyone talking a lot about how short form content is taking over, but the longer I make my videos the more my audience likes them. I also prefer making long videos, so that doesn’t hurt either. I honestly don’t even look anymore but my average video is around 25-30 minutes long and I often release 45-1 hour long vids that get over 70% watch time.
I dunno, I’m going on my 11th year of making motorcycle content and it’s more fun for me than it ever has been. I’m glad to see ya back :)
I don’t think motorcycle videos are dead on UA-cam at all!! It is such a special niche that I think should be promoted more!! Everybody’s audience is different and has been conditioned to that specific creator since they joined. I commend you for creating videos so long, it’s actually an inspiration! 💜 never stop what your doing my dude 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
@shadetree surgeon is IMO the one of the few who has the personality and lifestyle that keeps things interesting and worth watching. Many people become so nitche to get sponsors and ads and views because it becomes all about the money when you do it full-time, that it looses the genuine feeling and the variety. For Shadetree to me the motorcycles are the supporting character and not the star of the show. Shadetree has a way of making himself not the star either. I watch his videos to see who I get the meet this week and what am I going to get. I've been around UA-cam for 10 years, many get a "crew" of 3 -5 people and the nitche content that I don't feel any hurry to watch because I know what it will be about and who will be on. Shadetree you may get a travel vlog, you may get poetry, you many get a life lesson, you many get a gut buster comedy, you may get a tear jerker, you may get a bike build, and for sure you will get to meet people that I wouldn't normally meet in real life. I don't think motovlogging is dead, it just changed for many. Back in the early days, very few were able to make it a job so the content was relatable and evolving, as a viewer you got to grow with the creator. Now people chase after the "dream" of doing it for a job and the content shows. It's like watching someone at work, I don't what to see someone working after I just got done working for 8 - 10 hours.
@@N3PRO-Dave you’re much too kind my friend, thank you!
i just noticed this after mentioning you and a lot of others in a comment
70% retention for 25-30 minute videos is amazing. I'm blown away when I'm hitting 50%. 35 to 45% is my content average spot. But I'm nobody.
Having lived in the east bay back in the day when I rode a lot, I love your riding vlogs- they bring back nothing but great memories. 2021 was maybe the hardest year ever for so many of us but 2022 is already more sane and hopeful. Keep the rubber side down and keep the KatFam moving forward- we all need each other. Best to you!
Isn't all about commentary. It's about scenery. Seeing places we don't live, places we haven't been. Positive vibe, sounds, experience.
Yes!! That is one of my favorite reasons to motovlog when I visit places!! Being able to share a place someone might not ever visit and shit, I want to remember it too! 😂💜
💯 it's gotten stale. everyone basically does the exact same thing. Majority do build / give away series to attract people and views and others are driving the same streets over and over. Go to new places, ride a different style of bike and not be a first ride or review.
I love the moto-vlogging. Especially in winter! I could sit here all day watching the sun while you ride. Especially when there is snow outside! :)
We’ve came this far with u, so even if you just mow the yard….I’m with you, have a great year
Say it ain't so! Moto vlogging certainly isn't dead for me. 😊 I look forward to seeing what my motorcycle buddies are up to: no matter what it is. And you, my dear, have been missed.
And I love this feedback because I still see the core audience that will watch motovlogs!
Thanks for sharing this Kat. Yep there definitely something happening to UA-cam lately. I’ve always loved your content on here. I’ve watched you grow your Audience with posting some really good at some really good videos. You have also shared very personal stuff in the past some of your challenges with what you have been going through. I’m hopeful that 2022 will be better for all of us. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and it’s been a battle but it’s getting better I stay positive knowing that I’m going to beat this because there’s far more people that are worse off than me and watching some of your contact on UA-cam really helped me get through some of the tough times when I was in the hospital wondering about stuff so I wanna thank you as well. Got the opportunity to meet you in San Bernardino in person when you attended one of the gatherings for Moto bloggers and social media personalities you were friendly very talkative and honest and that’s what a lot of us love about you. I hope your next chapter in your social media journey continues to grow 👍😊🏍
This comment made me tear up, seriously. Thank you for being here and showing support! Im so glad we got to meet and I hope we can again. I wish you nothing but good health!! 🥰💜
I hope you had a great 2022🖤
Happy new year 🎉
Hi Kat, Just wanted to wish you a Happy belated Birthday (sry a day late). I really enjoy your videos, and I wait for the bell to notify me when you release a new one! Again happy belated Birthday and many more to come!
I used to be super interested in watching motovlogs every single day and I loved it. Granted I was only 16 at the time and couldn’t do much so I took like a short break to focus on studies. Grow up a bit and now I’m 21 and I’m back wanting to learn again and now that I can be financially stable, I will finally get my bike this year. I can wait on uploads, I’ve been a long time follower since the channel was named katkam cbr. thank you for inspiring me as a fellow female rider😊
I'm hoping motovlogging isn't dead lol. Watching you as well as chase on two wheels and walteriffic helped motivate me to start riding and get my endorsement, so I hope you as well as the other mainstream motovloggers continue to make content that they love.
I still watch your content on UA-cam. I like to just sit and enjoy what you have to show us.❤
Thank you for that!! :)
I hated unsubscribing from this channel. I used to love watching her videos!! I miss the golden age of motovlogging.
i’m scared. i don’t wanna lose this content. i’m pretty new to the community and i’m about to get a bike. this content made me thrilled to get in a bike. i hope it doesn’t die
I’ve been watching your channel and other motovlog channels for a long time now. And I definitely agree it’s dying out so the main motorcycle content I watch now are either bike reviews or people going on long road trips to cool places
it's not dead, just your content is. i follow many motor cycle you tuber's and their doing great . i could name at lease 20 riders i follow and their doing fine with lots of fun stuff to watch. good luck with TikTok
lmao
My thoughts. Life didn't just hit you, it also hit me, the economy - 7% inflation 2021, companies, and many of us in the world. Covid has reshaped priorities for many people and all we can do is take it on the chin and grow with it. Nice to see you in the tube Kat.
Sorry to hear m8 💜 us and everyone else will get through it!! :)
ive definitely seen a decrease on actual moto vlogs. this seems to have morphed into build series , podcast style content, as well as group rides/dual vlogs, and vlogs of motorcycle related meet ups as well as events.
I’ve noticed that as well!
I always loved your channel Kat, and this video makes a lot of sense about the Motovlog space. Of course well always have the few vlog outliers getting some more views, but as a whole, the large percentage, UA-cam vlogs have become complacent and abundant, and I love vlogs. Ive been into motorcycles for 25-30 years, since I was a kid and that's probably the only reason I watch and enjoy all Vlogs... but yes they've been slowly dying for a while... just look at the overall views
I love the content that you have so generously put out over the years. I will say that I do prefer long form content such as UA-cam. TikTok is creating short attention spans 🤣. I think your Katfam will follow you to every platform that you go to 🖤 . P.S Glad to see you back, I hope 2022 is gunna be a kickass year for you!!!!
Awesome video Kat!
I’ll never stop watching your content. ❤️
Thank you Nate!! I’ll always be here!! :)
@@ItsKatKam Well...
I still enjoy watching and making moto vlogs but it takes me a LOT longer to catch up on videos with everyone posting so frequently. Annnnd you’re probably right- the platforms that have “more pay off” are probably getting more attention than good ol’ UA-cam these days. Either way, I’ll still be here for the content 🙌🏽 And I’m looking forward to the discord!
It's not dead as such, but it's best days are long over, especially for small and new channels. It's much harder to be found and grow than it once was for varying reasons. It's also this time of year the viewership builds up slowly again after christmas and new year, I always have a big did in views in December, slowly dropping before and rising after. Of course constancy of videos determine and much you get effected to a degree too.
Ps: I don't and won't watch tic tok 😁
“Best days are long over” is a much better description of what I meant by this video. I don’t know what “viral” Moto content there is anymore besides TikTok because it used to be motovlogs lol not anymore!
Glad you're back. I enjoy your moto vlogs, car videos and the videos where you show your real estate photography. That behind the scenes stuff for your job is interesting to me.
I think there are a handful of Moto vloggers that have managed to hold on to an audience, but if you're not putting out 2 videos a week and have new bikes or interesting content it's hard to keep people engaged. Not everyone has the time, money, or access to dealerships to ride something new, do bike rebuilds, and give-a-ways, get sponsored, or do a patreon. If you're a youtuber that is doing videos just riding and talking I'm guessing your audience has probably going to move on.
I personally don't watch any moto content on TikTok, and I have whittled down my UA-cam subscriptions dramatically in the last year or so as well. Too many people are doing similar or the same thing.
The guys branching out into safety videos, how to ride videos, new bikes reviews, and gear etc... have kept my attention.
Good luck, the field of play has changed.
Well spoken 🤘🏼 completely agree! Keeping things fresh is super important
Hi. Too many commercials on UA-cam nowadays. Think alot of people are not dealing with it. Even channels under 1000 subs have one or two commercials before you can watch it. Just saying. Things definitely have changed. Good talk
Oh definitely!! The pay on UA-cam for creators has dwindled to basically nothing. It’s pretty sad. I personally have UA-cam premium for that reason because I watch it everyday and ads are super annoying lol smaller channels pushing that so often isn’t really a good idea tho 😅
I don't think it's dead, just saturated, with some much amazing content these days.. .:- )
im def gonna make a video about this soon lol. i wouldnt say motovlogging is 100% dead. but its for sure at that low point, still just kinda kickin. ive personally been watching motovlogs since like, 2011-2012 ish. its changed sooooooo much over the last 10 years. everything i feel like has become a lot more ''professional'' because people want to make money off of it and people arent doing it for fun like how it used to be. majority of the true OG vloggers arent even around anymore. the few that are have completely changed their style of content and dont even do ''moto vlogs'' much anymore either. tiktok has def changed things for sure. its a lot easier to grown on there and its a lot easier to do and less time consuming.
"everything i feel like has become a lot more ''professional'' because people want to make money off of it and people arent doing it for fun like how it used to be." I agree 100% That is my feeling too. Well said.
i hope you continue to make content its been 5 months would be good to hear from you :)
Sad to see so many channels I loved have died.
Welcome back! It's not dead. There a bunch of smaller channels that have recently started.
One year later no one video after that comeback
Trying to keep your life on track last year, AMEN TO THAT!!!
It's not dead.. people watch moto-vlogs to get inspired to go out and ride. Unfortunately the pandemic has taken the adventure out of a lot of things.. also the suppression hit and bike prices skyrocketed...that combination really took the fun out of it for new riders...
It's sad motovloging is dead. Time to bring it back kat. We have to do something to bring it back to life. Something new.
Where’s my defibrillator?! Time to give it CPR!! 😂😂😂
@@ItsKatKam I'll check Amazon for one.
Believe it or not, India is really ramping up with new motto vloggers and content. I think as long as we keep uploading good videos it will live on.
Stay positive peeps 🙂
It's definitely not dead. Million Dollar Bogan and Brian636, Combo Kids and many others have been killing it lately.
Ooo tell me more channels!! I am genuinely curious! Again, it’s hard to find in such a saturated category.

I don't think it's dead, it's just not peaking like it was years ago. There's plenty of us still doing it. I enjoy it. I won't stop doing it because it's fun for me. As far as tiktok goes, its so much easier and quicker. I have many more followers and views on tiktok than I do on UA-cam. Keep up the good work.
brilliant vidio, thanks bab.
I am only on UA-cam, I've no Discord, Twich nor TikTok. I will remain only on UA-cam.
Totally understand!! I watch UA-cam everyday :)
I really enjoy your Vids/Vlogs Kat and I love the Central Coast 🥰 I hope it's not dead, maybe just a covid lull. My channel is small but my views are consistent due to a small group of very loyal followers. I make my Vids for them 😁 I think UA-cam is very valuable, especially for new riders, and people trying to figure out what bike they want, how to fix something, etc... Anyway, I'm hoping to see you on the road someday. And I hope you keep making Vids. Happy 2022!! (I tried to join your discord, didn't work. Keeps saying my email is already in use??)
Motovlogging has had a weird few years but I do think it's premature to call it dead just yet, although admittedly I don't watch the big name American vloggers so I don't know how things are going in their part of the community. TikTok has certainly taken a lot of viewing time, especially among the young kids who make up a percentage of the viewers, but I think also the last two years nobody has done anything, meaning channels, both motovlog and regular daily vlog, haven't had anything to talk about, and combine that with various lockdowns were people weren't allowed to travel or ride and there's been far less scope for content creation. I do think, and strongly hope, that channels will start to pick back up this Summer and get back to an approximation of where they used to be, even if they have to throw in shorts and stuff into the mix too. We'll see I suppose. As a viewer, I'm youtube/insta only, tiktok doesn't interest me aside from occasional fads like the sea shanties. I'd love to get back into UA-cam creation though after several years of life getting in the way, but it will depend on how this year goes because I've got a lot of life admin I'm still waiting on.
I completely agree that the pandemic has a lot to do with the shift! I agree with pretty much this whole comment 😂 appreciate it your thorough response Spectre!! 💜
@@ItsKatKam Great minds haha! The normal daily vloggers I watch had to swap to content they can film in their homes, like cooking, interior decor etc, but you can't do motovlogs indoors. Channel I watch, MotoFeelz in Australia, moved to offering lightroom tutorials and such during the Sydney tough lockdowns.
@@TheSpectre223 yeah I can’t imagine not being able to ride :( ugh. Pandemic really threw a wrench in everything lol
You make a great point.
@@TheSpectre223Motofeelz is my fav moto channel.
1st kfam family 😍😍
Sadly we don't have tiktok(banned) in my country (India ) , looking forward to your UA-cam content ❤️
That is so insane to me!! Looking forward to making it!! :) love from California!
Honestly I feel like motovlogging started to die in 2019. I notice a lot of the big names like do it with Dan, chase and such really started to dramatically shift more from motovlogging. I think the major cause of the start of the down spiral was ad-pocalypse and then UA-cam cracking down on censorship.
It's a shame too. I love watching/listening to you all just talk about whatever as I do things like drive. Motovlogging basically taught me and got me into riding motorcycles. I even wanted to open my own channel but by the time I was in a position to have all the equipment and stuff even all the big names are saying it wasn't really worth it anymore. I think the only reason why they even kept their channels going is they were pretty well established to where they could Branch out to different things.
So I agree I hate to say it but motovlogging is dead and I will miss it
Take care Kat hope all is well
Corona probably also didn't help. But yeah I think motovlogging was pretty much on life support before even Corona hit. I think it was severely dying in 2019 when all the adpocalypse hit and then also UA-cam started getting really really strict with their censorship
Yes!!! So much this too. Really appreciate your comment!
Still my favorite kind of vlogs..
Yeah I'd say I agree with you on saying motovolgging is dead. I barely see any motorcycle content anymore on my recommended but when I do, it's high speed racing videos against friends. I mostly look for videos with high quality gopros and nice scenery but not really commentary anymore other than you and brian_636's hoodeats (favorite vloggers i've known for a while). The lack of commentary is probably because i'm one of the teens who has suffered by tiktok lowering my attention span too :'). I can barely go through normal informational videos on my interests anymore without 1.5x speed
Personally for the past 2 years i kinda forgot what made me love motorcycles,
And didn't watch bikes content that much,
Well that is until recently i've find myself falling for the feeling of riding again.
I think that's what happened to most people there. They lost the spark in their heart
I have noticed this too. The faster videos are competing against every type of video on UA-cam. The views are in reels and tik toks. I'm quite sad about this.
Same I’m pretty bummed about it, but it is what it is!
👍🏻
It's just a lot more saturated now so you have to have better and more frequent content or it's easier to get lost in the shuffle.
I have definitely noticed that there are wayyyyyyyyYyyy more channels now 😂 I agree!
Damn right no love for the grom, Childs bike!
😂😂😂 except they are fun no matter what age you are
Hey Kat, how often do you post?
I think alot of it is, alot of vloggers slow down first part of the year, to take a break.
Definitely, January is always a slow month for everyone. This is something I saw over the past year-2 years.
I feel like a lot of motovloggers i liked and still look up to. Got side tracked. All of a sudden everybody wanted a gaming channel, every body wanted a different channel for different things in their life, in reality if i gravitate to a person (yes REGULAR person) on youtube is because all aspects of their personality and prefer seeing it all on one channel. I get we all got to make money somehow but the ppv aspect of things is a bit of a turn off. Thats why i love smaller youtubers because their videos feel so relatable, that being said there is big creators that still manage to make me feel connected to them and their content.
Just from my own personal viewing there are several reasons, motovlogging has changed not so much dead but changed to less motovlogging. All the "how to get views on UA-cam" all say to get views you have to find a niche. For me that is where I loose interest. Most of "do youtube full time" become niche, and it works well for them but personally I loose touch. Another part is as you have done, many have moved to discord for the community so there is less need for a video to connect with the core group. There are few like Do It With Dan who are always evolving and changing interest which is more my personality. I have lots of interest and the change. Motovlogging for me used to be (before they got big and niche) personal weekly updates, they make you feel like you were catching up with a friend at lunch. Now the personal stuff moved to DIscord and instagram and UA-cam is just a polished, scripted, content like I can get anywhere else. To me it lost the personal connection value.
Still alive I still watch, most people are going for those patreon builds tho.
For me all of these build videos have turned me off to watching motovlogs. Some of my favorite UA-camrs have moved totally to builds and got away from just riding and chatting.
Lived in p
Paso Robles back in the day. Favorite places were slo town and morro Bay. Wish I rode back them hiway 1 is awesome
Moved here and I’m never looking back! I love it so much. :)
@@ItsKatKam grew up norcal redwood country. Miss it but most of Cali can gth. Here in ks since 96. See family sometime but now raiders in lv not as often.. used to dj at morro bay roller rink in late 70s while stationed in army
Moto vlogging not dead if Kat on her s1000rr . Such lovely place where you live .
I dunno, I just made a video on this too. I think the same old style motovlogging is dead, but if you keep it fresh unique I think it has it's place. Also it depends on the creator as well.
Agreed, it’s time for a change up!
It’s awesome to see you making videos and motor login I sure miss him I wish you would do your videos like you did before telling us about motorcycles different makes and models fixing your motorcycle making changes of it your car do some motor do some stuff on that and put your husbandOn the videos I think they were awesome y’all doing things together like you used to do a long time ago that was great so UA-cam is better TikTok and that’s too much of a fan of that you’re awesome keep up the good work can’t wait to see you next video and thank you I appreciate it
Did you use speech to text for this? 😂
Yes I did speak in my phone I had a stroke so it makes it easier for me to do that I’m truly am sorry if it didn’t come out right thank you and God bless
@@clayfist4033 that is totally ok! I was able to translate 😂💜
If motovlogging is dead then you're looking in the wrong places. Still alive and well for most
I still watch mostly UA-cam. Unless it's gaming then Twitch.
Better have me on there Matthew 👀😂 and same!!
Today I remembered you.
Hope you're doing well KatKamerina.
I watch a ton of different content on YT and it's not just moto vlogging that's down. So many of my favs are either gone or only upload a few times a month or even every few months.
I think straight, traditional motovlogging can only take you so far. Bike reviews, builds and build give away's, how to's, product reviews, etc.. mixed in with traditional motovlogs is the way to go. People use UA-cam not just for entertainment but also as a knowledge base. All that said, I'm a tiny channel with a disabled ad sense account so take my words with a grain of salt. I'm not into the really short stuff (tick tok, shorts, reels) for much of anything other than a quick laugh. You can't really gain anything of worth in such a short effortless amount of time. A quick laugh now and then is good but that's it.
i think car content is doing really good
Car content has a much larger audience than motorcycles! Motos are actually VERY niche I’ve noticed.
Moto vlog aint ded.. well all the people i used to watch stopped making videos/dont post as often.. found this channel like 2-3 months ago
Ahh ok! What channels do you watch or did watch that don’t upload as often? Genuinely curious! Also thank you for finding the channel recently :) been doing this for 6 years and a lot has changed lol
@@ItsKatKam TheKilaCam, timeout (itsjusta6 their main yt), 6foot4honda, jakegardensnake, TheKleb.. think those are all the decent sized channels im subscribed to.. may have missed a few.. TheKilaCam and TheKleb are 2 i found more recently aswell
There's electric bike wave that's sort of happening lately too.
With the release of bikes like Suron.
I know I need to see what’s up 😂
content yah, maybe??But I feel like doing what makes me/you have fun and you make it for the viewers to have fun is what makes people want to watch more. I have some other content creators I still wait even if it takes them 2-3 weeks to release a video.
Hey Kat, I live in orcutt, not far from you .. two local rides you might want to try. Parkfield cafe, and the burger barn in new cuyama. Good food at both..
I miss you kat❤
I know I’m for sure 90% TikTok and 10% UA-cam now
Thanks for the feedback!!
Finally a vid keep it up
There have been a couple other ones semi-recently 😅 sorry m8! January is a crappy month!
moto vlogging isn't dead its just a lot of the ones that were big when you started have shifted away from motorcycles doitwithdan does car content now motonosity has a family so rarely uploads any more the old ones have just changed you still have motovloggers like shadetree surgeon, her two wheels, dankwheelie, lali, doodle on a motorcycle, and gbear among others
Seems like TikTok also blocks a lot of peoples videos for the same reason UA-cam does. I think if you’re trying to make money off of it, you’re getting nothing back for your work.
You either do it because you just want to connect with people in the world or…I dunno…you just like being reminded nobody is paying you anymore lol?
That said, still love watching your videos!
Yep!! All of these platforms are slowly censoring what you see… kinda scary. Agreed that you have to do content creation now to either connect with people or because you purely love it 💜 great comment
It’s really not dead please don’t stop Moto videos I still watch UA-cam a lot
Welcome back Kat. Some of us are still old school and like UA-cam lol. I can't stand TikTok
I suppose, since I don't upload weekly or bi-weekly videos, nor have a bazzillion subs, I have not seen a drop in my views....not that it was so great to begin with. Last year was also a sad change in my life, as my wife died in march, which kept me off the bike, and certainly off the camera for a long while.
I do have a Facebook page I put content on, but only to keep up with my friends. I do not do Tik Tok, Instagram, or any other social pages. Otherwise, what you see, is what you get!
Im from india and we don't have tik tok here. ive been watching you from long back and would still like to watch your youtube vids..❤
Do you need mods for your discord?
I have mods! :)
Moto vlogging is dead because they all do the same thing. Like no growth. Same roads, same people they ride with and same places. I think they have to evolve and expand. You can't come out with the same 10 min video driving around your area and expect people not to get bored. These Moto vloggers need more engaging content. Like group rides, track days, travel to other states or even countries and do bike content there or do events with their fan bases. Alot of the bigger Moto vloggers have just been in their comfort zone for so long people except their super loyal subs are just bored.
Also, I do agree TikTok has been a big UA-cam killer. People just watch a stupid dance, or an audio being played over a picture of your bike and are so satisfied. Content is just being consumed so fast they are done with you after a 20 sec clip.
Completely agree with this!!! What sucks is (I’ve noticed) people are reluctant to change. Whenever creators try to make different content, it’s met with people who “didn’t like it” etc. I can see why it would be hard to change it up too.
@@ItsKatKam But assuming a channels decline is viewer related and not the far more likely censorship or demonetization. Then they probably did change, doing the same things over and over again is rarely the problem, a lot of youtubers just become boring, like when you date someone new you have all the things in the world to talk about but a year after shacking up, every time you get home its just another round of "hey whats for dinner tonight". Ridding the same route over and over isn't nearly as much of a problem as small talk and repetitive banter is just not entertaining. People I do see doing well on youtube in general are the ones that think ahead with some planning and an agenda to keep it interesting and entertaining rather than just turning on a camera for the 500th time, coming up with whatever they can on the spot and then wondering why they stopped growing. Look at twitch, lots of popular steamers that just play the same game over and over, its not about the game obviously as there are thousands of others on there playing the same game that cant get 5 viewers. Its about the banter, but twitch has a serious advantage in real time interaction vs youtube is basically single sided so its a lot to get by on just talking here, very few people are that endlessly interesting to just listen to and you have to do it while being kneecapped by censorship on top of it. I started watching because you have a fun, happy, somewhat excited vibe. Just do the activities you want to do and take us along, the key thing there is do it rather than just thinking I'd like to do that but its a hassle/effort and being lazy instead, most of us cut ourselves short falling into that.
I think people just gotten older or have moved on to other things
I think so too!
Since the ADpocalypse I thought some channels was holding back and self censoring (I understand why) and I didn't think it was as entertaining. I took a break from UA-cam all together. When I came back recently after missing motovlogging I also noticed a lot of dead channels myself.
Stunt riders took over.
Oh get out of here, I have a video posting this month about this topic 😆
I find it easier to do real talk on the bike as well, it feels natural and not so confrontational (as opposed to being in front of the camera). I enjoy chatting but it does seem like people want to watch high octane or sensational content, and that's just not what I can offer!
ROFL LOL don’t call the cops,but I’m following u on Instagram as well ok😆😂🤣. I’m following Alex as well because you’re both awesome. I love your content because you’re an awesome little lady friend. I wish that I could remember when I became a UA-cam subscriber of yours because it’s has 2 b close to 5 year mark about now. U put out awesome quality videos even your Instagram post r awesome.
the discord link is expired
I click the link and saw ummm where most your fan are going to be 😅 but your discord invitation isn’t working
I miss all my motovlogger peoples 😪
Almost everyone has stopped posting and I'm sad.
You gotta bring the Grom backkk
I am a small-time motovloger, but in my perspective, the best posts (to create and watch) are the posts that provide useful information. Especially in the world of motorcycling. The videos that get the most views on my channel are reviews of bikes and products, how-tos, and skill sharing. Also, the increase in popularity in ADV biking has people's interest now. Let's face it, riding around on your bike talking about whatever topic comes to mind is pretty narcissistic (no offense) and people are just tuning out from that now (I know I am). Combined with a small clique of sponsored vloggers who literally reproduce the same content and review the same products on their channels... because they all get invited to the same coordinated events - it just creates stale content.
Most of the channels out there put a lot of energy at the beginning. Once they crossed a descent amount of subscribers they hardly post. I think they should try to keep the momentum otherwise it comes across as they’ve lost interest themselves
I feel like that’s something with content creators in general. UA-cam is a ruthless place and a lot of work for little to nothing pay unless you are extremely active and consistent. Very easy to burn out from my experience.
@@ItsKatKam I don’t think you were being negative at all. Certainly hope others don’t take it that way either. You are opening a line for an honest conversation. To be honest I’ve been thinking about becoming a creator at times so hearing directly from someone who’s already in that world is also eye opening. I’m noticing a few motorcycle channels are doing these bike build ups/ giveaways. Might be something to look into income wise. Channels like 650IB. However if it is something that you are doing for fun when you have some free time I’d say that your channel is doing great. You keep things honest with your community
@@solorider_9330 my channel is definitely for enjoyment and to connect with other like minded people :) that’s always been my favorite part about it!
@@ItsKatKam I’m sure that’s what many others like me like about your channel. Hope this year brings you much success, luck and health. Very happy for the both of you. I will be on standby for more videos 😁😆
@@solorider_9330 thank you for the kind words :) !! Hope this is a great year for you as well!!
Hey Kat your Discord link is expired. please make a permanent link which never get expired.. please fix it soon.
Pretty scenery, where is this filmed please?
Morro Bay, CA! :)
@@ItsKatKam
Thanks, it's really nice there.
I used to live in Devon, England. And the scenery there is very nice, but after a while living there , you kinda stop noticing it anymore!.
I guess morro Bay is now on my "must ride there one day" bucket list now!.
@@ONCEbittenTWICEshyshyshy yes this whole area is a must ride!! :) I just moved and my jaw still drops everyday at how beautiful it is!! Haha
I always watch on youtube, tik tok seems like Vine but on drugs. Not really into that anymore. I"ve also noticed where motorcycle content has disappeared from my homepage. :(
OMG VINE ON DRUGS IS THE PERFECT EXPLANATION!! 😂😂😂
I think the way to succeed with youtube is to be consistent, that is in my opinion in favor of the algorhytm. So if you`re not consistent, you`re less likely to be in the 'recommended' list.
But that`s my 2cents, how i see it :-)
I have multiple channels. 2 similar ones, and the more consistent i am, the more my videos will get recommended to others :-)
I think its not dead, its just more 'difficult'
Edit:
I still watch all your videos.... :P
