    Great advice 👍 I agree, making videos you enjoy making is important! It can sometimes be so much fun that it’s hard to want to do other more boring daily tasks haha. The algorithm sure is unpredictable, it always pushes the videos I like the least and put lower effort into making and my best work I spend days on gets a few views 😂

      @@middlekingdomproductions you’re totally right, Adam 😂 I’ve uploaded videos that I thought had no hope but they performed really well and other videos I spent hours on and was really excited about and didn’t do well! It’s one big game! But it’s right to make videos you enjoy doing, it makes it much easier in the long run!

      Good morning Ben! You’re the only one that will read this so…. Just a suggestion, kindly mention in all your videos to “Please like, comment and share this videos as it helps your channel grow” something along that line..
      The algorithm on RUclips is somehow tracking that stuff and you’ll start getting paid.
      Agreed! It takes no energy to be human (nice). There are so many negative titles on RUclips and it’s not worth the time and energy. Again, I respect your honesty and style. Thank you.

    I think that was some good advice that you gave, especially about the reality of how the amount of views that you’re going to get and how it doesn’t correspond to the amount of effort you put in sometimes.
    I’ve actually been debating for a couple years about starting a channel myself. And it was for kind of the same reason you have. I think it would be really cool for my future family to see it. Not just my family now. I think it would have been really cool if my grandparents or my great grandparents would’ve had a RUclips channel. And I could’ve seen their travels . and it just seems really cool to me that maybe in 100 years some distant relatives might see my travels

They were the first videos of yours that I watched because she was the first cruise ship on which I sailed. Then you boggled my mind by speaking Mandarin better than I can.

    Hi Ben. Congratulations for the 100th video! You have a nice style to make these videos. I always feel like I am with you. And it's so true to be genuine and just yourself. I do my little channel on the same principle. I don't like the algorithm stuff, so maybe my channel is never going to grow very big, but I don't actually care so much. I just enjoy to tell my travel stories to those who happens to watch it. And I will try to make English subtitles to at least some of them, since my videos are in Finnish and not too many people understand finnish.
    Anyway, keep on going and I'll be watching 🙏😊

    Congrats Ben! I’ve enjoyed your videos and tips. Especially it truly was your solo cabin video on NCL that inspired me to book the same for myself last May. I had gone through a lot of personal challenges and that cruise was just what I needed to get back to my old self again. I know I already told you this but I’m just wanting to remind you that what you do really is beneficial for so many people in so many ways.

      Thank you, Sheri 😁 I appreciate your comment so much! Like I said in the video, sometimes I forget that real human beings watch my videos so to hear that my videos make you happy or helped you in any way, it makes me so so happy 😁 thank you for your support and I hope your enjoyed your cruise! 🌹

    Haven’t watch all 100 but love your videos especially when things don’t go right. I’ve just done my first solo, encouraged by you. I got lost twice on my last cruise, st Perrier and Nuuk Greenland. I kept you in mind. If something goes wrong you smile and figure it out. Ive realized I need to learn how to use google maps even though I have no sense of direction. Love watching you.

You will get better every time you do it 😊 life doesn’t always go to plan so figure it out and move on, the alternative is to cry and that doesn’t help anyone 😂 thank you again, Linda 🌹

Be sure that you are posting content that YOU want to make. I understand the desire to cater to your audience, but your audience is going to eb, flo, grow and change over time. Make the content YOU want to make to keep YOU fulfilled and engaged.

    Hey Ben, my name is Rob I’m Judy‘s husband. She’s commented to her three times to you. We really enjoy your videos. we started watching you on your transatlantic cruise in the solo cabin and I think we’ve watched every video since I’m not sure how many that’s been but it’s been a few. We think your videos are great, and we love watching your cruise videos, but we also enjoy all the other places you’ve been to to. You’re a different type of vlogger (?) and we really enjoy that. We’re from Idaho in the US and we’re glad that you say stuff that Americans can’t understand so keep up the good work man and get back on another cruise soon. Bye.

    You're doing really well. I admit to not watching every video, but would never consider unfollowing. Sometimes there are so many other videos to watch and limited time. I think when the Ukraine conflict dies down you will get more views as many are trying to keep up with events without the usual msm propaganda. You have a very personable and likeable personality and it's clear you are passionate about your content. Keep making great content.
