We started watching RV channels on YouTube about 4 years ago. I don't watch regular tv anymore. I've become 100% viewer of most of the channels above and more. I thought we were weird or unique, but then I read a stat somewhere that YouTube has now surpassed network viewing during prime time hours. I must not be alone.
The "E-begging" comments are exactly how I felt about a few of the channels, and it did turn me off. I'm coming around though. They do put a lot of work into what they do, and if you gain entertainment value it is worth rewarding. I don't like that it changes the personality of the shows, some to a bigger extent than others. I liked the idea of having a glimpse into another's adventures at an amateur level. All that said, I haven't ever opened my wallet for it and doubt I would. But never say never.
I don't want this to come across as promotion, but it is on topic. I was so impressed with the new platform for sharing this hobby, that I decided to give it a go myself and get in front of (and behind) the camera. Although I think we are highly entertaining, apparently I'm no good at it. Our videos seem to get a few dozen views, and when I compare that to the 100k views that a video of a cat using the litter box gets....well, it kind of tells you the pecking order. LOL.
I get joy out of sharing, and with even a handful of viewers it is worth it. Making money is not a goal, but growing community is. So I encourage you to give it a shot if it interests you. If reading forums is of value, think of YouTube as an extension of that with more to see!
