I have enjoyed your content, and hope you’ll continue to make videos. I’ve been planning to move there, but am seriously reconsidering with the electrical issues. So I look forward to your videos to see what’s going on
Oh Alvey, so sorry to hear about all your losses - of all the losses of all of us. What happens now, - it's so. horrific I can't find any words.. I am - as you know, living in the colonial epicentre of northern Europe, - thankfully on the outskirts here in Ireland but still.... 😰 I, for my part, still like what you do and, am definitely still planning for Ecuador and her lovely people - hopefully end of next year and, will bring my own solar generator.. 😊 Please keep on Alvey and, never lose faith in yourself and what you do.... I'll need you when I come down - need your opinion on my - sort of creative - ongoing work and not least, show me all the thousands of places I want to, crave to, just have to visit there and, then there's all the Ecuadorians... Just can't wait to meet them all! In other words, don't ever lose trust in yourself... We'll all make a good life for all... No need or want for any of the Colonial AI - we can make it ourselves Alvey - right 🤗 Have a lovely weekend in your perfectly chosen country.. Heaven compared to sad old Europe!!!
Totally agree that there is a flood of AI slop. People are clicking off quickly so don't be discouraged, most people who click onto an AI video understand that this is AI slop and those who don't yet will soon figure it out. I'm still very interested in content about moving to Ecuador. So don't give up on this part of your audience just yet
G'day! Thanks for watching. I know that's an important topic but I'm hesitant to make a video about it because everyone has their own opinion on safety and I just don't want to deal with all the comments. I can tell you that I feel absolutely safe and I've never had any problems. Having said that if you are on the Salinas expat FB group you will hear about people people who have been robbed. All I can do is tell you about my own experience, and that I feel very safe. Maybe it's because I'm a man. Maybe I've just been lucky. I don't know. I'm going to keep riding my bike and walking around taking photos. I hope I never have to report that I got mugged.
Sorry to hear about what’s happened and hope everything goes and stays well from here on out. In regards to the AI content and the state of UA-cam (as well as other platforms) I find it very confusing. Even before the boom in AI there was a slight shift towards making more organic videos, talking to the camera and just being real. But even with that I constantly saw that more videos that were artificial (more produced) get the most views. I’m honestly not sure anymore if the problem is my storytelling (one of my two weak points in content creation) or if it’s just the channel niche. You did say it yourself, talking about life in Ecuador when few people are coming is not going to get a lot of views. I keep doing it because I want to inform everyone and help but real life is always chasing me down and I can’t dedicate myself to making videos (something I love doing) if I can’t pay the bills. It’s tough. Keep doing what you do and lets hope the majority of the crisis blows over by January!
Thanks mate! Yes, I hear you. UA-cam is a massive amount of work, even if you do it only because you enjoy being creative. But you're right, you gotta pay the bills. I'll keep at it for a while and show some pretty photos. Thanks for watching and thanks for all your hard work (PS, your storytelling is great, don't doubt yourself. You're good at what you do.) Cheers mate!

Thanks so much! I hope you're right. I really appreciate you watching. Cheers!
I would love a quick video on the safety situation in Salinas
