Regarding analytics, there’s nothing for you to worry about. UA-cam is pushing Shorts, long-form videos get less exposure and thus get less clicks. And 2020 / 2021 are not good reference points since everyone was stuck at home because of the pandemic. Don’t worry. Your content is awesome, your channel is doing well and I do believe that your future years have a lot of potential… considering you want to keep going as you said in the video.
MVG, Mistakes WEREN'T Made. You hold such an authentic and professional role in the retro community; not because you just know so much but you because you have live it professionally. All you need to keep being is you.
As long as you're not doing UA-cam fulltime, I think it's fine like it is. Being 100% dedicated to producing for UA-cam can turn you off quite heavily without even realizing sometimes. Good that you are sticking around and giving us smiles on our faces with fantastic episodes of "Mistakes have been made..." or technical insight videos .. or even go on nerdy on topics (like those the most, as they show your true passion for something). have a fantastic holiday season and definately catching you in 2024. Bye for now ❤
The layoffs cycle has been terrible for my mental health as well. I'm lucky enough to have remained unaffected, but can't help but feeling that I might be next. It's not fun worming super hard in the day, working overtime at night to make up for rhe lower manpower, and practicing for interviews as night! Thanks for speaking about this!
All we care about is sharing your enthusiasm for the content you make videos about. Amount doesn't matter, make as few or as many as you want, as long as content creation is your passion we true fans will be here till the day it is no longer ❤
I’ve been fascinated with your homebrew videos as I enjoy seeing someone else get so enthusiastic about it, you’re one of my favourites to watch as you don’t over sensationalise the videos and come across professional when discussing things without adding quirky cues and meme dropping and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next
I hope you have a good off time as the year ends, MVG. The contributions you've made not just on you tube but as a developer over the last couple years have brought me a lot of personal joy. I just want you to have a sense of what you've given to the gamers out there. I can imagine that working in a high stress industry (at the best of times) makes it really hard to focus on the good things happening, but you've really helped create a lot of GOOD in this industry that can really tear people down behind the scenes. I'm proud to say I own games on the Carbon Engine and will continue to buy them as well. You, sir have helped my inner child smile and that's the biggest compliment I can think to give any game developer or content creator. Thank You!
I discovered your channel during the pandemic and I've been a fan ever since. I look forward to your videos the most on UA-cam. I love your content, your insight to the industry, your technical know-how, the way you show average gamers like me how things work, and your passion for emulation and game preservation is inspiring. Thank you for all the videos this year. Analytics aside, doesn't matter what content you make. You have fans like me who share in your passion for gaming. We like seeing you have fun and sharing things that matter to you. That's what ultimately matters to us. I look forward to seeing what you create in the new year. Happy holidays. Cheers.
Mate your one of the good ones! You're among the calm folks out there that isn't screaming at the camera about games! You, Nate and those two English lads on switch up. It's away easier to digest the content from a fella such as yourself. Much love bro! Happy Christmas!
I've been an avid fan of your channel since 2019, and I've not found any other channel that does quite what you do. The mix of game/console history, programming, console jailbreaking, DRM history from a hands-on knowledgeable perspective are all very appealing to me. I tend to "ration" UA-cam watching for myself, but whenever I did let myself watch I'd always look specifically for your channel.
Your videos have always been quality over quantity for me. They're always of a consistently high quality. Great to hear you're looking after your physical and mental health. Have a great holiday period and a strong start to 2024. 👍🏻
Everyone who's into retro gaming knows The Modern Vintage Gamer. You have one of the very best channels and you make fantastic content. I'm glad you're not stepping away just yet. Love your stuff and always happy to see a new vids. It doesn't matter at all how frequently they come out, they're worth the wait.
Thanks MVG for the wonderful content and informative videos this year. 2023 has certainly been taxing for a myriad of reasons and your content helped make the grind through the year less painful. Have a wonderful end to the year and hit 2024 out of the park!

Nice clickbait title

Thanks for the candid discussion. I have also had a pretty bad year for youtube views.

The fact that you brought all of us emulator users together after all these years alone is something that made me emotional.

Yeah MVG - I found your channel in late 2022 and I absolutely love it. Informative, direct to the punch and insanely knowledgable about hardware!

you’re very important to the gaming/modding community, thank you a lot! ❤
Thanks for being part of making 2023 better with your content! Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Hey man your videos are always authentic and a pleasure to watch. I wish you all the success. I particularly enjoy your thoughts on older games etc.
