    Ultimately, having integrity is what saw you get shafted Dave, if you had kept your mouth shut you'd be up in the millions, its why they do what they do, they silence you to scare everyone else into keeping quiet too. And at the end of the day, honour and integrity is priceless. I'd rather be proud of the man that looks back at me in the mirror, than stay silent and take some easy money. It's why politicians are such scum, they ALWAYS take the money! Treat this as what it should be for men with self-respect that would rather speak the truth than take the money, and just treat it as a hobby.

      Exactly mate. I'd rather say what I think is right and not play the game and go against the flow than be controlled by these massive companies. You're totally right about politicians who just take the money and think they're doing good. This is a hobby to me, its pocket money for me.

    Not a hater. But the channel got bit stale like you said. A few years ago food reviews and eating was massive on UA-cam algorithm. Now you hate on people and wonder why people don’t watch. People don’t want to watch negativity. This is our time to chill out. You’re basically the modern day X factor star who got dropped after 1 album. It’s nothing to do with control, that’s all in your head. People watched when you was cheery and happy. Now the videos aren’t so happy and the views reflect that

    For me personally, the issue with how the channel is going is that is was a fun, quick food review channel to now being very political. I've never been offended by what you say and you should absolutely do the channel how you want. However the change in content is going to make people unsubscribe as it wasn't what bought them to the channel.

    • @junevanman6410
      @junevanman6410 2 роки тому +4

      Viewers unsubscribing isn’t what this is about. I can honestly say Dave doesn’t mind one bit. People either watch or they don’t. It’s more to do with the way UA-cam can impact your life and the fact you have no protection as the creator. We’ve had people telling lies, spreading private information on other channels and a very weird stalker who shall remain nameless. As the creator you can do nothing other than accept it, despite the damage and harms it can cause. Trolls you expect and kind of go with the territory, but outright lies are totally unacceptable.

    Some youtubers use their channel as an emotional outlet and turn the comments off. Others are fake and eventually tie themselves in knots with their lies and then get pulled up on it and then cry "online abuse and victim of trolls". Then there is BVM...great channel to follow, speaks the truth, gets moody, likes decent food, expects decent service, has a go at cooking. The camper van conversion last year was brilliant to follow. Loves his family and dogs 🙂 but speaks as he finds it and is more often than not spot on. There is nothing toxic about this channel so there is no reason for toxic feedback. I believe with youtube your feedback depends on what you dish out.

    UA-cam is a game. I've worked with multiple creators over the years since 2012, there's so much you need to know and do to keep you in the algorithm. The most money on UA-cam is earned through either brand deals, video sponsorships and merchandise.
    CPM is also a huge factor.
    I will say this though I've worked with numerous creators under 100k subs who were full time but it was mainly due to sponsors. I would get yourself a creative management team who would maximise your potential.
    Tiktok would be a great place to keep growing too. You would be epic on there Dave.

Yes, I'm on a small channel just over 1K, but my experience has been largely good, with a few bad ones. However, like you, I DGAF! On the plus side, I've connected with the likes of you and Matty etc. On the broader social media experience, when it comes to speaking out about my political views, the amount of so-called 'friends' I've lost is amazing.

UA-cam should be a positive experience for you and you shouldn't have to feel the way you do. Take a break and find something that makes you feel good. You shouldn't have to feel the way you do when you've only tried your best.... ✌️

    Deary me... Even your beaut of a wife said to you in your recent video with your hedge trimmer about if you needed to swear lol
    Unfortunately changing the content from what got you the subs and views will inevitably have an impact. Just how it is.
    Just do what you want the way you want to.... But you'll never please everyone all of the time. Don't take it so serious or personally
    And yes when you watch people on UA-cam... like yourself. Folks invest time, we watch and feel as if we're getting to know you coming along with you... why is it so bad folks feeling like they're getting to know you a little? If you're not being yourself then sure I'd agree none of us know you at all... fair play
    But I love your dogs and love June keeping you grounded. She's funny.
    About others saying things that aren't true... Cardi B sued a UA-camr who did that and she won damages. If these things get to you then you can take legal action.
    I'm not going anywhere, chin up, all the best

      Hi Vamp. June replied to your comments and thanked you for the kind words and other stuff but it seems that this company has shadow banned her. This is what I was saying about this place.
      It's so controlled

    • @vampdiva6878
      @vampdiva6878 2 роки тому +1

      Shadow banned? June? What in the bloody hell for! Blimey, sorry to hear that. I think every social media platform is pretty much controlled and manipulated. That's why try not to take things too personal
      It does strike me that the way social media is, it's increasingly set up to create division. Some have the bones to just be them. And some cave and have thus insatiable need to be seem as relevant and insert themselves in unnecessary drama... I'm literally here to just watch some videos and switch off
      Society has always loved to build folk up and then knock them down... Away from here, as you said.. You know who your friends are. And more importantly you have an absolute blessing of a family
      May the shiny foil of my empty kit kat wrapper bring June out of the ban of shadows and back into the light lol 💖✌

    The more and more our lives shift online, the scarier things are getting in terms of having an opinion or personality that doesn’t fit what’s accepted. I honestly think in 20-30 years there will be one acceptable set of opinions. Everyone else will be ostracised, banned or silenced. Doesn’t matter whether you’re a comedian or an activist.

      Here's the mistake you people make. Stuff like Facebook, UA-cam, it's privately owned. It isn't publicly owned. None of you have the right to use it. If people are using Facebook to spread some shit, if Facebook doesn't like it then by all means they don't have to let you use Facebook to do it.
      Your issue is you feel entitled. Like Jesus they're private businesses they don't HAVE to do anything.
      You can have your own opinion and say whatever you like in public space, but if you're in a privately owned area then no you can't say or so whatever the hell you want, you're in someone else's privately owned space, so you abide by their rules, in their place.
      Your thoughts and views are not being controlled or dictated by anyone. It's simple as if you're in a private space, follow their rules or bugger off.
      If you're in someone's house, you do their rules or do one. If you're in someone else's webspace that they've paid to own and create, then again, go by their rules or happily piss off.

    • @PEEMZEE

      @@obi-wankenobi8446 I don't know why my comment has riled you up enough to rant about "you people" and make the assumption I'm entitled, but I do know your response is incredibly basic and naive.
      “Us people” know that Facebook etc are private companies, we’re not idiots... So I don’t know why you bring that up as if it’s a groundbreaking insight.
      We know there are rules and terms of service on these platforms. Again, this is so basic that I can’t even believe I’m writing it down…
      What you’re overlooking, intentionally or not, is that we all communicate online, on these platforms. And, as the years go by, it’s not difficult to assume this situation will only increase.
      In short, and in relation to my original comment, in 20-30 years it’s not a huge leap to assume that most of what we do, how we communicate, how we make a living etc, will be on the internet. The same internet that you’ve already kindly pointed out for us is owned by private companies.
      Point is that when (probably not if) we reach that point every action any of us take - whether that’s “us people” or “you people” - will be overseen and checked and approved (or not) by the private companies and corporations you’re so protective of.
      Who will be making the decisions on what’s acceptable and what’s not in the future? One day my point of view might be unacceptable, the next day your point of view might be unacceptable.
      Will you feel the same way when it’s a right leaning society banning liberal points of view online? Will you be waving your “Follow their rules or bugger off” placard then?
      Decisions over free speech should not be made by private companies, money and corporations. It’s harmful for everyone. “You people” included.

    Dave I have to say this is a great video and very genuine, hats off to ya and June, you are proppa folk.
    What you say about YT is spot on, aka they control what you can say and cant say, even if its true , its like they put you on the naughty step for having your own thoughts, but its not just YT that does that, it seems they all do it.
    Regards them porno links I get them on my channel and I have to remove them myself, youtube does nothing about them, my channel is small, I only have 560 subs and its based around old dj mix tapes, where we try to obtain the unknown tracks that are played, so someone will come along and say track 7 is so & so and put a link to a legit record selling site to give the unknown track ID, guess what YT treat it has spam and the link will not show, or just block the post, but hey links to only fanz and the other filth is fine.

    As the site has grown there's alot more automation with the algorithms they use. You can be reasonable but because you discussed x topic or said some naughty word they'll either strike you or effectively reduce who finds your videos or channel "shadow banning". This would explain (to me at least) why some UA-camrs gaining views in the millions can be fake. When I see someone being over the top "nice" with a bunch of jump cuts it's usually the vids I click off pretty quickly.
