I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A POST ON HERE THAT I SHARED ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA YESTERDAY, SEVERAL OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND COMMENTS WERE IN REGARDS TO LAST WEEKS VIDEO AND SOME MESSAGES AND COMMENTS I HAVE RECEIVED DURING THE WEEK IN RELATION TO RECENT VIDEOS. THE ROOFTOP TENT VIDEO HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED ON RUclips YET BUT I DID SHARE IT ON MY FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM.
I just wanted to make a post about some of the feedback and comments I've been receiving from several people lately. I love what I do and am grateful for the interaction and support I get from you all and from the community that has grown with me.
I get that not everyone is going to like everything I do and will have different ideas and opinions to me. I just wanted to take this opportunity to share some things from my perspective - I figured I would rather take this chance to hopefully help people understand and then I can then refer anyone in the future to this post.
Some of the not so positive feedback I’ve received lately is along the lines of 'you've changed', 'you're old videos were better', 'you just do sponsored stuff for money now', 'where’s the videos of you camping and 4wding, I don’t want all this other sh*t’
In relation to the rooftop tent video:
- I did this video because I got absolutely bombarded with people asking me to do it, that is by the far the most requested video I've ever had. Luke/Drifta didn't ask me to do it, it wasn't a paid/sponsored advertisement.
- I said a couple of times in the video it wasn't a review, just an initial look/thoughts. More like an unboxing video, I tried to keep it as mutual as possible. Everything I said in the video was just my honest first impression.
- I understand I can’t keep everyone happy, and to be honest it seems the bigger the channel grows, the more complaints I get, and the complaints never seem to be on the same page. It seems everyone loves you when you're a small RUclipsr, then as you start to grow people feel the need to tell you what a bad job you're doing
- Some people complain if I don't put out a trip video every week. Then others complain if I do only trip videos every week. Some people tell me not to put out a video every week, others complain if I don't. Some complain if a video is too long, others complain it’s too short. I get requests to do a walkthrough of the new rooftop tent, then complaints when I do one. People ask me to do a walkthrough of someone’s 4wd, others complain when I do 4wd walkthroughs. People want to know about certain gear I use, others complain when I make a video on that gear. You get the gist! Some days I throw my hands up as it feels like I cant just win.
- It would be amazing to go 4wding and camping every single week and put out a new trip video every single week but unfortunately unrealistic. I am 100% a one man show - I am the film crew, editing crew and social media crew. I invest 40+ hours of my time per week at this stage.
- From my experience and what I've learnt doing RUclips for a couple of years now, variety is incredibly important. You need to do review videos, car walkthrough videos, trip videos. If you do the same thing week after week people get bored quickly and you get less and less views. At this point my 4wd walkthrough videos have been my most successful videos by far, not the trip videos.
- I like to do other little 4wding related videos in between the trip videos, they are less work and I enjoy doing them. I understand they are not for everyone, and if they are not for you no need to watch them. Thankfully RUclips works in a way where you don't have to watch every video someone makes. For me personally, I watch many different RUclipsrs, but I don't watch every single video they do as some I’m simply not interested in, I wait until the next one comes out that I might be interested in 🤷♂️
-COVID 19 happened which I unfortunately had no control over and we couldn't go away for 3 months (multiple trips away were cancelled). I couldn't go 4wding and camping and make trip videos, so there has been less in recent months and more of other general 4wd videos. I am proud that I have still been able to put out a new video every single Sunday this year for people to enjoy if they want to watch it. As has been the case for so many people, this last 6 months has been one of the toughest times I've been through. All at once I lost my job, navigated my way through a breakup, and was at home every day home schooling my son and not allowed to go anywhere due to COVID.
- I have rearranged my work/life a little to cater for how much time I put into RUclips now; I thankfully make some money off it now. BUT, if I don't put a video every week I don't get that money. So while I do this because I love it, there is also an aspect of it that is work/job for me and I do need to keep it going if I want to succeed and keep my income coming. I lost a lot of my school work due to COVID and it will take time before it gets back to what it was, so I've had to put my focus onto RUclips to keep paying the bills.
At the end of the day I'm quickly realising that no matter what I do, I'm going to get more people hitting me up with their 2 cents and I'm never going to be able to keep everyone happy, so I just need to do what I think is right and do what I love doing
Mate don’t sweat it. The world is full of keyboard heroes. I’ll be honest I didn’t watch the video because it didn’t suit me, I didn’t complain. I just gave it a like and scrolled on. What’s the point of whinging? Imagine these people had a real problem? This channel is for you, by you. You do you mate. Can’t make em all happy cause they all miserable lazy flops who sit on their arses and watch the world through a screen. I love what you do mate and am very grateful to be able to share in it. Much love brother God bless you
Tyler you keep doing what you love. I love your video's and seeing you with your dad and son spending time with take video's off the memory and sharing them with all of us and receive money good luck to you. Keep up the great work and I'll be watching all off them 🍺🍺🍻🍻
Great video once agian Tyler. Your channel is is in my top two 4WD channels. I even watch the videos I'm not intersted in (and there has only been one or two). Consider bad comments like ratings on free to air. In the past we would just change the channel but now people have ability to comment, instead of just changing the channel. Never apologise or explain your self to the mob!
On a completely unrelated matter have you considered opening a subscribestar account. Patreon is about to go bankrupt through class ations and your money will be used to pay it. Have you also considered putting your material on Bitchute as an alternative or companion to RUclips?
Keep it up mate your doing a ripper of a job!
Do what you’re doing buddy! Those who put in there two cents still luv to watch your videos! Keep up the good work! 👍
Fuck the haters keep up the good work
Mate they put negative comments cause their life sucks and they want you to feel as miserable as they do. Love ya work👍
Thanks mate!
Nothing a good father and son relationship can’t conquer! Luv your work mate keep it up! Melbourne Victoria
Thanks mate!
Mate, if you could get a bit of sponsorship for what you do, good on you! Your a pretty straight forward bloke. I watch your channel for ideas and unlike one big one in particular, you keep it real. We don’t all have the money to “ pay to play “ when we go out for a weekend. Thanks for your content!
Thanks mate! Appreciate it 👌
I really enjoy this channel and the work that you do. If it any time there is a subject I’m not interested in I’m free to stop the video. You are never going to keep everybody happy and quite frankly, I wouldn’t even try if I were you.It’s your channel and I think you should do what you want to do with it. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen anything on this channel that is worthy of complaint. I say, keep up the good work and do what suits you, most importantly enjoy what you’re doing. Thanks for another great video.
Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback 👌
The poor old bush is looking a bit sad after all the fires. Some good technical tracks and variety. Looking forward to the rest of the series 👍👍
Thanks mate! Yep much different place out there to last time we were there
4WD-247 , Graham, Shauno, Ronny, All 4 Adv, 4Xo and the rest of you awesome content creators. Meet Tyler Thompson ! Enough said.
Trust the mighty
Trust the mighty Navara to take the hardest lines !! Given the great Navaro a huge work out...looking forward to Part 2...thanks mate and well done as always !!
Thanks mate!
Great drive up pipeline track, a few amazing spots for camp too. Thanks Tyler 👌
Thanks mate!
Another great video mate, good too see you back up in my neck of the woods again, ignore the idiots you can’t please everyone mate, most people have no idea the time and effort that goes into a RUclips clip plus having a job and a son too look after as well, keep it up buddy!
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
Your old man gets that Isuzu through some tough terrain, looks like it goes well. Great vid.
Thanks 👍
Keep killing it mate, awesome content as always!
Thanks mate!
As always ,another awesome adventure with spectacular views and tracks! Lithgow is in a world of its own when it comes to the diversity of places and tracks to explore. You go through lots of effort to get these videos out to us viewers so thanx again for sharing mate and keep up the great work, very much appreciated!
3 minutes into the video and already loving it! Thanks mate.
Cheers mate!
Thanks Tyler for this excellently made video. I was due to come back to Australia in June to continue my 4x4 travels which I interrupted in March. Looking your films helps me to overcome this period of await till the borders reopen👍👍
Thank you! Hopefully you can get back soon
No problem, Tyler. As you said, you cannot please everyone. Just keep doing what you are doing. The majority agree with you...
Thanks mate 👌
Another awesome trip. Your comments will be our reference material when we try these tracks. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
Just discovered your channel. Love every episode, good variety. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Another awesome video Tyler. Its great seeing your dad and son on the trips with you. My dad is 87 and still also joins me and my mates on our 4wd/hunting trips in the vic highcountry. Love watching your videos on a Sunday morning, great way to start the day. Appreciate all your content and hard work. Keep doing what you love doing!
Awesome stuff mate! Appreciate the feedback
This is ultimate.. never seen such family trip before .. love these hardcore offroading 👌
Great memories you are making with your young fella and dad 💙💛💚
Woah that opening winch down the rock step 😱
Yeah that was nasty haha
Awesome content, 45min to get here and then the end thanks for the laugh.
Haha thanks mate!
Brilliant mate looking forward to next week keep up the good work 👍 🏴
Thanks 👍
Hey mate, given your preamble I just wanted to throw some support your way. I stumbled on your videos recently, and have been working my way through the lot of them.
Firstly, I’m a single dad with 3 kids, and I’m picking up my first 4wd in the next week or so. Your videos are my reference point for what I will do with them as my experience (and hopefully, capability) builds. 40m videos are fantastic when they’re well produced and authentic. And I love your music style!
Secondly, negativity can go two ways - it can help you grow, or bring you down. The challenge is working out how you can harness the negativity, particularly the destructive/non-constructive type to help your channel grow - if it’s not possible, them water off a ducks back.
Third point - I see nothing wrong with a shameless plug if that’s what it takes to literally keep the show going. Many channels do it, and if you lose one or two along the way, so be it. If you keep that thing that keeps me (and I’m sure others) engaged though, your authenticity, I reckon you’ll go ok.
A friendly request - would love to see some stuff on the Brindies, apparently there’s some cracking ground to cover up there! (Sorry if you’ve already done some, still working thru the back-catalogue...)
Hey mate, thanks for the feedback and support! Greatly appreciated, glad you're enjoying the videos! Yep that's on the list of places to go 👌
I havnt seen a pipeline run in years, really got amongst it, you got bigger balls than king Kong bud great stuff
Cheers mate!
I think it would be cool if you named your videos in sequence so we could follow them that way. And you get that Nissan around some tough tracks....surprising how well it goes.....well done
Great stuff again mate. Keep them coming. 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Love your work mate, good on ya for getin out there, hope to see you on the trails
Thanks mate!
Awesome videos mate. I'm really enjoying them.
Glad you like them!
good video mate ,thinking of camping at the newnes camp ground and then take the family for a walk to see the glow worms, industrial ruins etc..thanks for sharing ,all the best of luck.
Thanks mate! Enjoy 👌
So many memories of our old playground when we lived in Western Sydney.
Hey Tayler, I'll watch your channel from the start. For me this is an inspiration what is possible with a Navara even if you don't have that much money. I like your new car and I'll treat you to it, even if I'm a little bit jealous at times. Unfortunately, we don't have that many opportunities to go off-road here in Germany, but next week I'll drive my Navara to an off-road park and see what works with it. keep it up and stay healthy.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the videos 🙌 good luck on your off-road adventures
Awesome video mate, you are keeping me going while I can't camping and 4wding....Can't wait for the next one, great work.
Thanks mate!
Another spot on ep.. 👌👌 as always, very enjoyable content and great music.. IMO still one of the best, if not the best channel for any 4wd and adventure enthusiast. :) thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy it!
Some good driving there mate, just watch the drive shaft on those step ups 👍
Thanks mate! Yeah its got a few scratches on it now haha
Tyler Thompson just keep an eye on those uj’s for any sign of movement
Keep doing what you love doing mate, with ya boy and ya Dad. Awesome work and don’t worry about the wingers
Thanks mate!
Just found the channel. Great to see you out there with your dad and your son. 3 generations enjoying adventure together. The trails look awesome! Excellent driving! Cheers from new subscriber from Washington US. ❤️🐞
Awesome! Thank you!
Enjoyed that one boys thanks for sharing
Cheers!
Beautiful part of australia mate , I remember those fires , great vid , take care stay safe :)
Thanks mate!
good video, you really push it hard, your dad seems cool and your son, i enjoyed watching it
Thank you! Appreciate it 👌
Ripper video mate such good quality and content 👍
Thanks 👍
Just keep doing what you've been doing so well mate.
Ignore the haters, they are the types that would not by likely put in the efforts that your types of achievement take.
I'm sure that bulk of your viewers love your vids for the regular virtual adventure they deliver.
Thanks mate!
Awesome vid mate! Love the content.. keep makeing videos that you would want to watch not what other people want to watch! I’ll be keeping my eye out for the rest of the Lithgow series 😍
Thanks mate! Appreciate it 👌
Another great clip mate, keep doing what you do the way you want to. As you say they don't have to watch it do they. Love your work mate. Cheers Steve
Much appreciated, thanks mate
Well said Tyler. Just keep on doing what you do and enjoy mate. Life is just too short to concern yourself with others complaints and hang ups. I enjoy all of your videos and l can see you enjoy getting out in the bush with your son, family and friends and that’s all that really matters. Enjoy life to the fullest. Good onya mate, take care and be safe.😊👍👍
Thanks mate! Appreciate it 👌
That awkward silence at the end was the best ahaha
😂😂😂
Hi Tyler, mate i stumbled across your video on YT by accident and I must say I was absolutely gobsmacked at the quality of the editing, filming, commentary, your skills at 4wd'ing etc etc. You make those pro TV shows look like rookies. Keep it up mate..you've won over another fan. Cheers mate.
Thanks mate, greatly appreciate it!
brown noser
awesome, keep them coming!
Top video Tyler. I think you have your format just right, keep up the great work.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great vid as always. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great start buddy, really good driving those tough tracks, impressive lines, when in trouble winch, what there there for, looking forward to next video, 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
WOW that 4B of yours is bit of a go anywhere machine .. (Amazing Stuff)
Hahahaha great father n son chats Tyler 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Really impressed with how well the Nav goes there mate. Shame to see the bush so burnt out, that area is so lush generally. Looking forward to seeing some more videos mate.
Cheers mate
Looking like a good trip fella🤘jealousy coming from us in lockdown VIC.
Keep it up 👍🍻🇦🇺🔥🤘
Thanks 👍
Another Awesome video man. Can’t wait for the next one 👌🏽
Thanks mate!
good driving mate , smart winching and good lines makes most 4wd's capable.
Thanks mate!
Hey Tyler. You're a top bloke doing a great job. Just ignore the whingers and keep up the good work you're doing, you have many supporters who like your channel. Sorry to hear about you're personal life mate. Two and a half men is good viewing.
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍👌
Great vid Tyler, I think Nissan should supply you with a vehicle, watching your vids I think my next 4x4 will be a Nissan.
Ill need a new one soon at the rate I'm going haha
Murphys law; if the winch is gunna break it's at the bottom of a rock step
or in a real deep swampy Tassie mud hole where its slowly filling your car with water that smells as bad as raw sewage.....
Bro in all honesty. You need a back up plan so if ya the first car through a bit hard. But you have a back up snatch ready if the winch does fail quickly hook up the snatch and out ya get before you take on to much water
great footage bud
Haha how funny was the "CAVE review" haha kids
Love ya work champ, all your vids are great keep it going 👍👍👍
Three cheers for you Tyler. I have watched your vids from way back and filled my GPS with campspots and tracks that you have done.
I have only commented on one of your vids once before. Infact I rarely read the comments. You shouldn't either.
BTW do you get paid if there are more comments? I didn't think so.
If the success of your efforts is measured by views and subscribers, then why even read them? (except this one of course...)
More power to you mate. Every time I pass a white Nav on the trails I hope it's you so I can thank you in person.
Stay strong. And do what you love.
Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback 👌 I don't get paid for likes and comments, only views. But likes and comments help the video get more recognised on RUclips
Brilliant mate. Keen as for the rest of this trip
Cheers mate 👌
Smashed it again champ cant wait till next part 👍🥶😂🍻
The next time you get your truck on a lift please film the underside of it and chuck it into the end of a video or somewhere. I want to see the patina and battle scars from everything you have done so far. :)
Okay will do 👍
Je suis bluffé par le franchissement du Nissan Navara sur ces pistes caillouteux bravo a ce Mr et a ce petit garçon je suppose que c'est son fils car ne comprends pas l anglais mais si un jour j acheté un pick-up il y a des grandes chances que ça sera un Navara
Outro is perfect.
Your channel is a great success because it’s you doing what you do. Just keep doing it mate because it’s awesome. Ignore the negative because it’s irrelevant.
Luv ya work Bro. 👍🍺
Thanks mate!
The Nav looks totally different now.
Nice adventure
Great video
Thanks!
what a awesome video so down to earth not full of shit so raw so real this is true 4x4ing keep your content real love it
Thanks mate!
Digging these vids champ, don’t give sh*t stirrers the time of day.
Thanks mate!
Hey mate, l enjoy seeing you get away with your little man. I also like seeing your dad's Mux out on the tracks as i too have a Mux.
Can i suggest you put in the bloopers at the end of your vids, they can be quite funny.
Take care
Cheers mate! Yep I do 👍
Great vid man! We chickened out of the nine mile steps last time we were there 😂 lot worse in reality compared to on camera. Will be back with a winch though
Thanks mate! Yep all of those tracks are much worse in real life haha
You know my comment will be positive anyways... I have had more fun in that area then even in Coffs. Great video more.
Thanks mate!
Mate good video I'm from Shitgow lol. Good wheeling.
Haha thanks mate!
Tyler , does your old man usually turn off the traction control once in 4L? Notice my dmax jerks/bounce alot in 4L.
With some of the tracks you do I don’t think your vehicle is necessarily that capable. You need something like a 80 series or patrol with big lift & tyres. I know you got through but geez it was a bit hairy at times. Good video 👍
Awesome bro, I hope to do the same with my kid too. What fuel consumption you average with the mods you’ve done. Both on and off road ? Keep up the good work mate cheers
Thanks mate! Not too sure to be honest, don't really keep an eye on it
Just a suggestion: a bit more detail about where exactly you are in these areas, would be appreciated. That isn't a complaint :).
While I think you have locking diffs or LSD (or maybe I'm mistaken...), it none the less goes to show that a sensibly driven IRS/ rear leaf 4wd can go anywhere a sensible person would want to. There are more commercially orientated YT channels who really talk it all up quite a bit, and wow on about big lifts, oversized tyres and all the rest.
How fun is that area. Looks so good. The fires certainly ravaged that area well and truly. Great video.
Your dads mux, does he have a diff drop? Has he broken a cv since putting the manual hubs on, to help to disconnect the front end to drive home, with out a trackside cv change?
Thanks mate! Nope doesn't have a diff drop, its only a 2 inch lift. And nope he's never broken a cv before so haven't had to put them to use yet
You know I was thinking mate, your only human film what you can and want to film. Fuck the comments at some stage tyler you should just stop reading them and if your channel keeps growing, you are doing the right things mate. Love all your videos. I hope you get heaps of sponsors mate.
Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback 👌👍
Good job mate 🤙 keep up the good work 🇦🇺
Cheers mate
Another cool clip Tyler 😎 Was funny seeing you a Blue Creek Dam the other day ( I was on the motorbike 😉). As for the haters- meh....
Thanks mate! Oh really, was that you haha we were just out having a bush walk
Put some black wheels on the nav mate will looks heaps better
Great video mate 🤙
Thanks 👍
I Just got one of those crashpads on a stretcher! Dude that looks awesome, keen for it to arrive now. Does kaito join you on this trip? I was out there at Newnes a few weeks ago. Cool place for sure.
Awesome stuff mate! Nope he didn't but will have to get him on a trip soon
Kulkyne kampers do a double stretcher for a queen swag (1.5m wise) that they’ve just released. I have my eye on it but can’t tell you if it’s any good. Has no pole in the middle.
Thanks mate! Ill have a look 👌
awesome ol boyie
What a great place to wheel
Why drive in the holes 😄😉
Hi Tyler, I've seen your vids with what upgrades your running, I have a question, what breaks are you running. When I get mine a little muddy on the np300, my breaks are almost non existent.. it's dangerous!
Just the original ones mate, mine aren't too bad
Was there much wildlife around mate?
Haha... Deers are all in Melbourne mate!
Nope basically none, guessing most animals were killed in the fires unfortunately, we saw 2 wallabies in the 3-4 days in this area
F'k the haters, keep up the vids. Too many cotton woolin' Karens want their spotlight.
wow it's more what is called in USA Jeep Rubicon trail, and you did on Navaro or Frontier in USA. We have version with rear locker called Pro4X. Do you have front locker too?
Just a rear locker, no front locker at the moment
Wow you are a Man
i have Titan XD with cummins engine. Let me know if you are going to travel US I will join you
... You did well - pity about the terrible fires your video shows the aftermath of
Yeah certainly destroyed the area
