    Todd, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that, but it certainly explains why you've been down the last few months. I love your 'go-get-em' never-give-up attitude despite it all! You keep doing you, you're on the right track. Digging for algorithms seems to be the norm these days, unfortunately, wish I could be of some help there, alas I cannot. You're a tinkerer and a doer, I have all the faith in the world you will find a way around the current machinery problems, at least until the new lathe arrives.
    The very best mark of a really good Dad is, even though he is in the very middle of explaining all of his problems, he has time to stop and enjoy watching his daughter walking through a puddle.
    As for you Shannon, popping in to give him a kiss on the cheek when he needed it most, shows just what an amazing wife and couple you are.
    YOU GOT THIS TODD!
    AND SHANNON, YOU KEEP BEING YOU!

    I dont' know what you mean by premieres, but I don't watch youtube live videos. I like to watch on my own time and usually only videos that are about 30 minutes or less. I rarely go back to watch a previously posted live because they are usually pretty long.
    I'm glad you are making the best decision for you and not following what others are doing.

    My heart went out to you when I saw this video. You are such a skilled man with great ideas. I always check for a new video from you. That kiddo is so cute. Just like your very much supportive wife. Loved the moment when she popped in an kissed you on the cheek, which made you smile. Dont let yourself be pulled down by the broken equipment. There are no problems only solutions. And bad things happen to the most well intended people. You will always have my thumbs up aw well as my subscription.

I’m an avid subscriber of lots of channels that I really enjoy but do not watch their interactive shows. You are one of the most talented and likable young turners on UA-cam. I’ll continue to watch you and your lovely little family as long as you keep making the videos. I wish you nothing but the best , and I believe that you will be highly successful in your endeavors.you have a rare and outstanding talent.👍🏼⭐️

As someone who has spent way too much of my life in an emotional pit, I’m saying a heartfelt prayer for the encouragement of your heart.

    Dude, keep churning out awesome turnings and I'll keep watching. With this c-19 crap winding down you might find viewership growth slow down a bit with everybody going back to work.

Keep her and your little one in your posts. Find funky wood. Do pours. Make really beautiful, inspirational turnings. Keep the posts within a reasonable time. Always remind your viewer to “like”, “subscribe”, etc. always. And do is in the beginning and end of your post. You have a great talent.

    Your work and videos are great. Not sure how a premier can hurt since the video remains up after that original showing. Only difference is that the maker is usually there for that first showing and there is a live chat. But you have dug into it and found that for some it does. All that to say this: Don’t let YT and what
    Goes on within that virtual world drive your mental health. You’ve got too much going on for that.

    Hi Todd, brother your work is awesome!! Now Premieres, I watch a lot of UA-cam and find myself passing on the premieres, not real sure on why, maybe all the chats are to busy, and if they’re a long premiere, I find myself clicking off and moving on, not sure. All I know is I prefer a regular ol’ video! Just my opinion. Keep up the awesomeness!!

    Todd you are on the right track in what you do the most successful people are the ones that do what feels right not what the masses do, you have great content and talent not to mention an awesome cheering section. Keep doing what feels right and all will fall into place. Don't be afraid to step out of your confront zone and do what other want, that in my opinion sets you apart from everyone else. You have some mad skill let them shine.

  • @BadAppleWoodwerx

    Interesting info Todd. Myself, I really don't have much invested in "views" and "clicks" and all that, so I haven't put any thought or effort into "what the algorithm wants". But if the data supports adverse affects, I believe it. I watch your stuff regardless, because I enjoy it. I wasn't able to join your premieres due to scheduling conflicts, but I always watched them later that day.

I look at me subscription tab if it says premier I skip it because normally it's a few days away and I figure I'll get to it later. It isn't a judgment of your videos. They are very good. I do know a few folks that upload at a specific time and day. I usually watch them within hours because I can depend on them being there.

    One thing that you do, that most others don't, is included your wife and family. I, personally, LOVE that!
    Maybe try not to focus as much on the numbers? But focus on those in your community that truly support you. Like I said in a previous comment, the wood working community is so wonderful. Perhaps you could get together with some of the others and put together an event like they do in England? Makers Central? Or perhaps find a way to get more people to enjoy watching the wood working process? Just a thought.
    I'm here as a subscriber now and I'm not going anywhere. 💜 To you and your family.

    Hey Todd, I just wanted to say that I think some of your work with #ytccc2021 has been top class. I can't comment if it's your best work as I'm a fairly new subscriber (because of the challenge really) but what I've seen I believe you. My channel is tiny compared to yours but one observation I would make is that the majority of people in the premiere comment in the chat but don't then comment on the video itself, so they have less comments compared to a non-premiere. Another commentor say it's not always best to follow the bandwagon and I sort of agree, I'm more of a Field of Dreams sort of guy, "build it and they will come". Cheers, Dave

    Hey, Tod the Duke, right now the world is licking it's wounds with this Covid thing, the vaccine roll out and then over there you have had big depressing political changes. So what I am getting is that there are so many life affecting changes happening, maybe people are slow to take in new changes. Just be the winner you have been, go to what has/was working for you, your channel has been inspiring in every sense, stay with the knitting that worked. I am guilty of the crime of not watching live or drawn out channels during this crazy drawn out pandemic. You have been one of the motivators in my little turning world, so keep at it and don't let changes at this time mess with your head, you have a serious flock of followers in a world gone crazy. Take care and keep them churning, turning and coming you are good at what you do it entertains and we learn from it.
