As always im enjoying every second of your videos, Tony. I remember when i subbed you had 20 followers. So just be you and let it flow. Dont mind the numbers of subbs, dude. Make your videos like it's for you. And the rest will be bonus. As always, lots of friendship from the southern part of Sweden ❤🤗
I dont care how frequent or infrequent your channel updates are - I'm not going to unsubscribe ! :) Love your livestreams/sitdowns as much as your vids (if not more). Post, publish the new stuff when you feel like it, not because you have to! Wish you well ! :)
Yes, we missed you ;) Always good to see Tony! I understand you take a break, but I hope you find the motivation again in the future. Travel videos are both an escape and inspiration for me. I always liked yours, because they are real. But yeah, for the reasons mentioned they don't always get the views they deserve. Thank you!! 👍
Tony, you’re a great guy! I really value your perspective and appreciate that you're not just chasing clicks with sensationalism but keep your authenticity. Your life is interesting, you're passionate and have a lot to say and teach. I'd definitely watch more chat-style videos about your life, travels, interests (like this one!). Doesn't need to be high production, just you being you. Keep it up!
Glad to see an update from you and to hear that you're doing well. UA-cam used to be a great place to learn, but it has become dominated by click bait channels appealing to the lowest common denominator. It's sad to see. I would like to think it will get better, but that's wishful thinking. My guess is it gets worse from here. That model makes money for the creators, and more importantly, Google, so why would they change it?
UA-cam still is a great place to learn. No one is forcing you to watch click bait content. I use UA-cam extensively to learn about many things such as renovation, repairs, health, exercise, travel, etc. It's up to the viewer to select the right channels to watch, and trust me there are many excellent ones out there.
@@robcanad True, there are still many good channels, but the algorithm rewards click bait content and titles. I'll be specific so you understand my point. There are a few genres I can think of that are rife with misinformation, including investing channels and prepping channels. Regarding investment channels, the ones that encourage ultra risky options rather than tried and true approaches get rewarded. These channels are actively pushing some of the most aggressive investing methods and are likely to cause devastating losses for most people who employ them. Doom channels are another thorn in my side. Crash bros in the real estate market have severely misled their viewers over the past 4-5 years. Similar to what Tony described, content creators that have a more even-mannered approach get no views. Channels that foretell the worst doom possible get the most traffic even though they are wrong year after year. There are licenses and regulations in investing and real estate markets, so why does UA-cam not enforce some base-level of moderation? They certainly do for the health industry/topics. The same is true for prepping channels. There is one guy whose channel has predicted the end of the world every month for the past four years. It's ridiculous. I don't watch that garbage but it occasionally pops in my feed and I'm shocked UA-cam hasn't pulled that nonsense. How UA-cam doesn't regulate that type of content is mind boggling. Why do I care? Because the people who watch these channels vote, and they are being spoon-fed garbage. Many (most?) people don't respect these topics. They often assume big channels with high view counts and subscribers have the best information. They don't, because of the UA-cam algorithm, and that's the problem.
@@robcanad I left a longer comment that UA-cam unfortunately removed. There are good content creators leaving UA-cam because they don't want to play the algorithm (click bait) game. That leaves channels who do play the game as the dominant force in some genres. A few I can quickly think of are investing, real estate, and fitness channels. Some of the biggest channels in those genres are full of misinformation and click bait. Many people assume because the channels have a lot of subscribers and views that they must be accurate/good channels. Many times that's not the case. That issue is caused by the algorithm rewarding those types of channels, as Tony described in his video.
@@user-zk6fc3dw9e I'm sure that's the case but not everyone creates content for their livelihood, for many it's a hobby. The ones who do it for money, to get rich or pay their bills will always have a conflict of interest. The ones who are leaving do so because they are not making enough money. So the take away is to find the channels that exist because the creator simply enjoys providing valuable info for others.
@@tony.travels you don't have to show girls on you tube, just make sure when you go to the beaches make sure you quickly zoom in on the girls in bating suits once in a while thanks.
Hey Tony, good to see you! Very interesting topics. I guess I'm one of the five women that always watch your videos lol. And yes, want to see more, but I get it that you feel its kind of a waste of time for you. Well, I'll be here. Take care.
Hey Tony, You've created a life where you don't need to make a ton of money to be happy, and this means you can follow your passion. That's awesome, you're truly free from the rat race! With that said, if you want to make more money with travel blogging, why not use your dating skills and take a local hottie with you on your adventures. Stick her on the thumbnail and boom instant money. Perhaps you'll even generate dating coaching leads from people wondering how these babes keep appearing in your videos? There was a guy called David Bond who combined the travel/dating like this really well. He deleted most of his videos recently though.
Good points, it is what it is. Overlanding in South-East Asia's not too touristy spots might be a niche angle you don't see so many people doing. As a working digital nomad, this however might not be an easy route unless your altcoin wallet hits the sky. Thanks for the content anyways!
totaly agree what u saying man. great video, i watch it all, was more interesting than travel vlog haha well its still kinda travel vlog, just different :)
You have a good sense of humor and can approach anyone. Only Bald has that. If you say you're good at dating and coaching, then you should make videos about that.Video Ideas: How to approach a woman How to get a date You could also mix in spiritual questions when talking to beautiful women, like: What is happiness for you? What do you think is the meaning of life? What is spirituality for you? What would a man need to date you? What do you look for in a partner? This way, you'll grow quickly on UA-cam, and even if no one watches, talking to beautiful women is never a waste of time.
ps malaysia gives ton of views, they love it, this is how i startded my channel, i uploaded my first video on youtube and in the first week we got oner 100k views and 7k hours hah
Of course, the don't care about boring topics. B/c most people are pretty simple minded. Their brain responds to mostly negative shit. And sex has been selling well for ages. Why don't you just repackage it ... by befriending a cute, local girl, taking her with you to ... whatever you want to show. People growing things, saving animals, teaching, etc. That way, even the most boring stuff becomes interesting. And most of the simpler minds won't even notice that you ... kinda tricked them. It's all about clever marketing.

It won't be my last video I just need to find a good angle that makes it worth the time.

Good idea. I could use a cute girl in my life. Just gotta find one who doesn't leave in three days and can also travel with me.
