      I appreciate that, wish things were different too. RUclips is killing channels with their algorithm. It's no longer based on subscribers, they only show people what they think people want to see. It's a biased system to say the least.

      @@saabkyle04 put out a video that you think will be popular, and say in the beginning “did you guys know I was building this 240sx, and these other cars? RUclips is not helping you viewers get the content you subscribed for.”Something along those lines. You put a lot of effort into filming and editing these videos, not to mention actually working on vehicles.

    • @saabkyle04
      @saabkyle04  4 года назад +3

      I appreciate that suggestion, I will have to try something like that and see if it helps at all. If it does, it'll only hopefully strengthen the viewership of the folks who already get to see it. Then, there's still the problem of youtube not sharing the videos. I've almost given up trying to figure that out. It's too much to bear with, like you said, everything it takes to run the channel. Thank you very much!

    kyle stop gorilla-arming the car, it hurt me just watching you pull the old lights off. use a heat gun to soften the glue. for chrissake
    and those are not type-x lights, they are 96-98 180sx tail lights. they were factory on all trims (type x/s/r).
