- Hope you're all well and enjoying the Christmas break. I got a message from RUclips recently saying that my channel had achieved the milestone of over 1 Million views. It seems like a lot but, compared to most channels, it's a tiny amount, especially if you consider it's taken me over 281 videos and nearly 6 years to get there.
I've really not played by the rules of the game, which I explain in the video, and I'm perfectly content and glad I've just been myself and made the videos I enjoy and are meaningful to me. While many will consider my channel a spectacular failure, it's brought me many more important things than financial reward, like friendship & lots of special moments in amazing places, which I'll always value much more highly. Yes, of course it would be nice to be able to invest in the channel and earn more, but it will never be at the expense of doing what I love and making friends. The older I get the more important this is to me, and I would encourage more creators to prioritise friendships and relationships just as highly as any financial reward.
Thanks for watching and I'll be back with a nature video from beautiful Glen Affric and my local Pentland Hills here in Edinburgh. Have a wonderful Hogmanay wherever you are in the world and a very happy & prosperous 2025. All my best wishes :-)
Hope you're having a good Christmas week wherever you're watching from in the world. After RUclips sent me a message that I'd had more than a million views, this got me reflecting on the last 6 years and all the videos I've made. I think it's important to say that my earnings very much reflect my choices about what to film and how to set up the channel and although I'm content with this, it may not be right for other creators. Just do what makes your heart sing and enjoy the process. Thanks for watching and all your support. I'll be back soon. Best wishes, David 🙂
Deserve a lot more for the quality of your videos
Hi David, I think that’s why you have a growing number of subscribers…honesty. Yes the world has changed and not for the better for some of us but whilst we have something to look forward to it’s bearable. Keep going your way. It’s never wrong to do the right thing and your channel is definitely the right thing. Hope 2025 brings Health and Happiness to you and yours. Keep safe. C.
I must say that I am not the most interested in photography, but for some reason the photos that you take do really speak to me in a way. You appreciate the little things in Edinburgh, everybody takes pictures of the big and important things. But you walk around and see something that inspires you and you take a picture, that is a gift I once hope to acquire. Keep up the good work!!
Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉🎉
