    Very well explained without calling certain people out or down talking them. Keep making great videos...... always like to see the bottles after tumbling.

    All this makes me glad im just a viewer and NOT a creator, Brandon.... this old dog doesn't want to learn those new tricks! I'll just wait for new videos from you and the other channels im subbed to. Glad you're putting this out for others, though! Congrats on the new channel!

    UA-cam does not push out creators. It is a viewer pull. Where do you get your knowledge from? I am just asking, Keep growing and building My friend.

    It drives me crazy watching channels grow by 300 subs per day, but only get 50 views on their videos and then they go on livestreams and try to give people advice on how to grow their channel like they are some sort of hot shot expert! I can’t stand liars.

    Dude, I get you’re trying to promote your channel and stuff but the problem with it is you only got 30 subscribers? You haven’t even met the criteria for monetization yet you have to have at least 1000 subscribers to even get ad revenue. Just saying. Glory to GOD!

    Yes, but what about the old 1970s Kwacker in the video? I had a 1971 H1B 500 triple, and after that went to Enduro, Honda SL125 and Kawasaki KLX 250

    lots of fakers on utube! Guys like me who have been in the hobby 30 years can tell using a finds ratio but new people dont know! I never pushed the videos people watch my videos because I list hot areas of beach erosion! The bright side is there is so many now they will eventually drown themselves out! happy holidays to your family and yourself! Although im not a fan of Garrett metal detectors mainly because im a beach hunter and Minelab rules the saltwater beaches! good luck in 2025

    • @TheDiggingCreator
      @TheDiggingCreator  Місяць тому +1

      Same to you! The Vortex is definitely much better on the beach than previous detectors so I’m hoping it’ll be a needle mover.

    Thank you for all of the info -- I watch about a dozen metal-detecting channels, I *THINK* that they are all legit! One question -- how does UA-cam know the age of the viewers -- to track them into age-groups -- which definitely would matter to the advertisers.

    • @TheDiggingCreator
      @TheDiggingCreator  Місяць тому +2

      It’s all based off of the info entered through your email account attached to your UA-cam.

      @@TheDiggingCreator -- So that info is not 100% accurate (age, location, gender) since much of that is 'subjective' (the account holder can enter whatever they want) -- which would skew the advertising earnings based on those demographics. Whew -- a lot to think about and take into consideration! Running a monetized YT channel is a fulltime job!!!

    What about a monthly Subscription to UA-cam to watch ad free? I don’t get advertisements. How do you get money from me watching your vlog since all advertisements are removed?

    • @aengusmacnaughton1375
      @aengusmacnaughton1375 Місяць тому

      That's a good question -- if the creator (and UA-cam) loses the ad revenue, I would hope that UA-cam divides up the subscription money to the channels watched by YT paid subscribers....

    • @TheDiggingCreator
      @TheDiggingCreator  Місяць тому +2

      We get a very small percentage of the UA-cam premium revenue as well. There is a separate earnings tab showing the Premium revenue.

    I just checked out the other channel. It’s only got 84,000. Just saying just tell the truth. This is what’s wrong with the channels out there nowadays. So you’re telling him you got over 800,000 followers on Facebook. OK. Glory to GOD!

    I’ll check out your UA-cam page, but what I said is the truth it makes no difference. Did you have another page that has 1 million followers on it or whatever the hell it has on it that makes no difference I was talking about what you were saying on this page. why aren’t you saying that on that page where it means something. Congratulations on your 840,000 subscribers awesome. Glory to GOD!
