I am analyzing your youtube channel. And find that your content is really good. I also noticed that your title-description-tag is not SEO friendly. Your channel optimization is poor, resulting in a zero SEO score. As a result, your videos are not reaching the right audience, which is affecting your view count. If you want, I can customize your RUclips channel according to RUclips terms. So that you can see better results for your RUclips channel. And I will do onpage and offpage SEO for your RUclips so that your RUclips channel videos appear in the top search results of Google and RUclips. Thanks and I look forward to your response

I have lost all respect for Gary when I saw him in the comments of an Instagram post saying women shouldn’t pay anything in a relationship.
Stop teaching young boys that their value is their wallets. You’re old and from a generation where men and women weren’t equals and your values aren’t fair for average middle class boys and men today.
