Why I didn't want to post an off road wrecker games video
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 мар 2023
- There's a lot of strategy that goes into posting RUclips videos, and I knew that holding off on posting the wrecker games videos was going to cause them to get lower than average view numbers, while allowing those that "broke the rules" to capitalize on the opportunity to get absolutely massive view counts on their relatively small channels, giving themselves a huge boost in the RUclips world.
So I went down there putting very low priority on filming for my own channel, because I knew the videos that came from it have little value. That's nothing against the event itself, as it was great and the @MattsOffRoadRecovery team did an awesome job putting it on, especially for their first event being so big.
The unfortunate thing about RUclips, is that to be successful on the platform, you have to play the RUclips games. And that meant that the only way I was going to get this video to have a decent view count, would be to give it a title and thumbnail that insinuates controversy, and incites curiosity in a bit of a clickbait-ish way. I hate clickbait, but with the way youtube works, you basically have to push that envelope a bit or you will never succeed.
I was unsure if I was going to post any videos from the event at all, but I've had enough people ask for it that I decided to go ahead and post one. I'm still uncertain if I'll post any footage from the other two days, and haven't even looked at the footage. I know I don't have much of anything from day two, since I left a couple hours into the day and missed most of the event, but I guess I'll look and see what I have.
Now comes another RUclips strategy thing, where I tag a bunch of other channels that were involved so that the algorithm creates links between our channels and hopefully it leads to more crossover views between us.

This where Mr.LaDelle’s analytics complaints fall on deaf ears with me. Since I can’t do anymore without Mr.LaDelle’s endless talking, I religiously watch all and anything Mr.LaDelle publishes, wrecker-whatever or not.
There!!!
And I thank you very much for that! But that also perfectly proves my point! My big fans, just like Matt’s, Rory’s, Paul’s, etc, are going to watch whatever we post. But the majority of our viewers on any given video are NOT big fans, they are just casual viewers who may find the video we posted that day interesting (and I have the analytics to prove that). So that is why in a case like this, you’ve seen lower than average view numbers on all of the participants videos of the event. Yes their big fans still watched it even if they’d already seen it from ten other places, but the casual viewers (who are the vast majority) aren’t going to watch a video about something they’ve already seen. Unless…. The video is titled and thumbnailed like I did on this one to create curiosity and get the clicks from those casual and hopefully also new viewers. I really do hate the fact that RUclips works that way, but it is what it is and to be successful on the platform, you do have to play the game to some degree.
Like I said in the video, it’s not that YOU the viewer don’t matter to us and aren’t appreciated, in fact quite the opposite. It’s that mathematically in the RUclips world, that small of a percentage doesn’t make a noticeable difference in anything.
For example, our pay is calculated off of views, but in blocks of one thousand, and each block is worth about a cup of coffee (but can vary up and down), now look at the number of comments on this video of people saying they waited for the participants videos, or that they would watch whatever we put out regardless if they’ve already seen it or not, and you can see it most likely made literally zero difference in the analytics numbers, or very very little difference.
Now as I said, that’s not saying that YOU viewers and your views/comments are not important to us. They very much are and the fact that you viewers kept asking me where my videos was is the only reason I even posted it. But what it means is that mathematically to the RUclips analytics, those numbers mean almost nothing.
An edit to add some numbers to this…
I just looked at my analytics and on average, 69% of my views come from the browse feature, and 16% come from RUclips suggested videos, meaning 85% of my views come from casual viewers who did not open RUclips intending to watch my videos, but then clicked on them because they looked interesting at the time. In a case like the wrecker games where it’s something that has most likely been suggested to them many times over, if they were interested in it, they would have already watched it.
That’s why the wrecker games videos that the participants posted are getting far lower than average views for them, and I really just want to post normal videos instead of anything involving the wrecker games, and was trying to avoid posting this one. But since I decided to post it, I did it in a way that I’m not a fan of, but new that it would increase its views to hoped make it worth it.
@@CaseyLaDelle wow, I’ve never seen such a detailed response from a channel! Good on ya!
@@jonathanlawrence1401 👉🏆👈 for your comment! No one said he was half-azz at this!! 👍
a Day 1 video with +5 minutes of 'bla bla bla stats.. bla bla bla' intro does _not_ help viewers sticking around for the actual content.. just sayin'..
@@k2OS the fact that I didn’t even want to post this video, should tell you that I don’t really care if people want to watch it or not. If you don’t like it, please, go find something else to watch. No one is asking you to be here.
My wrecker games videos are the worst videos for views I've had in awhile. Totally tanked my analytics as well, but was totally worth it. Was grest to finally meet you Casey.
Your backwards drive up that chute was awesome though.
They'll climb up in a bit, slow and steady... backwards up the chute.
Sorry Rory, I watched them, and I loved the clean video with Jamie and your Jeep. Saw an overhead view from another channel and was waiting for your video. They kinda made a teaser for you. I do wonder though, if the pre game teasers got any new viewers.
They are the only ones I watched of the games, other than the bootleg videos.
For what it's worth, your video was my favorite of all the competitors!
The reason why I like you Casey is your integrity. Thank you for that. Honesty and integrity exude from you at all times.
Yes he honestly took bribes and wasn't ashamed to tell the world!
@@davidruppel1216 LOL
And he gave it all away to a little boy.
@@davidruppel1216 And then he to that and made the day of one beautiful young lad. 🤠 That's why we love Casey.
Even though there are lots of videos of the same event, it is very interesting to see everyone's different perspective. That's what keeps me watching. I enjoy your solo work and it is refreshing to see family friendly content. This is an amazing community of kind people. Thanks
Many things separate Casey laDelles RUclips videos from all the wreckers but one thing that really stands out is the honesty he gives us! I couldn't ask for anymore honestly!
I have to say, I was one of that very small % of people who waited for all you guys to release your videos. I refused to watch any shorts or other people who posted videos because this event was FOR the people but you guys all did the hard work and deserve the credit for it (in my opinion).
Plus the other thing is watching other people's random videos you only see what the vehicle is doing from a distance. Watching you guys we get the commentary, jokes, behind the scenes things like fixing the transfer case at the ARB&B in the middle of the night. No one else is able to give us that.
So Casey and everyone else I want to thank you guys for making these videos for the tiny % of us who waited. Now let's see your Day #2!!
Me too
Yep.
Ditto…we’ll stated.
LOL
I am also one who held off to watch the videos from ones who took part as Matt, Paul, Rory and the other and that inc you Casey
YES, CASEY. I am one of those that refused to watch "UNKNOWN" videos. I have only watched those who I am subscribed to. Thanks for taking part in this amazing event. I sure wish I could have been there to meet everyone. Love your video's. NOVA SCOTIA CANADA.
Another from NS, Canada 🎉
And one from b.c. Canada
I'm in NS too
It was hard to not watch other videos of the games, but I really wanted to see the drivers vids first. ( From UK )
Same for me.
I watched all the wrecker games vids, the unknowns and the competitors, I couldn’t get enough of it.
Thank you guys and sorry if you have been disappointed by the numbers of your “hits”.
It’s one of the hazards of modern times.
Love you all, and greetings from Romania❤️🇷🇴
+1 Looks like a lot of fans aren't so faithful.
It was awesome to meet you in person finally! Thank you for making one of my favorite humans come too! As a contact creator it was really frustrating to see everybody leak footage but unfortunately that’s human nature at this point. Thanks for creating great contact being an awesome human.
I also waited for the main people to post and watched their videos exclusively and will most probably not watch the other videos because they are riding the coat tails of the real participants.
I enjoy your videos because you keep it real, something I really appreciate.
Well said, agreed completely
Casey, I think you would be surprised at the number of people who waited for the channels we know and love to post their videos. While the vehicles are cool and the competition is a big draw, it's the personalities that keep us coming back to watch recoveries.
This. I wasn't interested in the wrecker games (I actually had low expectations for it), I was interested in the channels I know and watch getting up to shenanigans during it. Idgaf about who wins, the games were intentionally rigged to be random anyways.
Exactly, the people their perspective and their editing are why I watch. Anyone can point a camera, but not everyone can tell a story worth watching.
Totally agree, I love the big name fellas and their content, not the cheaty amatuer vids.
That was an excellent explanation of the Wrecker Games video chaos!
It fully tanked my analytics too ☹
Like you, we agree it was fun attending and engaging with the groups and fans; but it did send everything else into a spiral and would have been less work and cost me way less in the short term to stay home, move a project forward. Hopefully long term the connections made stand as the highlight of the whole event.
Next year's posting guidelines will have to be completely different in order for me to justify the investment.
Us weird fans waited. It is a shame some people ignored the media rules they agreed to.
But social media is something new and how they/the algorithm decides to push your output to the wider world is something we don't understand - yet.
Thank both you and Casey for getting involved.
Thank you Casey. This is exactly the type of video I was hoping to see, a behind the scenes type of interaction. Great job.
It's amazing how many RUclips channels crawled out of the woodwork with Wrecker Game vids. I've never heard of most of them. I only paid attention to the actual players like yourself. Thanks Casey
I found several new channels to check out, but I am trying to watch all of the participants and judges videos, at least once. Some I definitely want to watch again. My biggest problem, I have to pause the video, as I get to laughing too hard at the antics, and would miss more good parts.
Content creators of all types are always looking for that key word content to boost views.
The small group that waited to see Casey's Games vids before watching anybody else's includes me. Casey's honesty, integrity, take no shit and teaching of the trade puts him in a league of his own. Total respect for this man . I hope to shake his hand someday.
And me as well
I made a point to watch the posts by my "regular" RUclipsrs. Figured you guys were going to take a hit. Love that you've been posting normal content for us to enjoy.
The interaction between the participants is what is so compelling and entertaining and you folks are the only ones that can provide that. I totally enjoyed your view of what went on. Thanks
The greatest thing about the wrecker games was the help that all of the drivers and judges gave to Merlin when he had trouble with his transfer box. Great people all of them.
Yes a united effort!
I agree with you the connections were huge! The IH video build with you and Ben getting ready was PERFECT! We still want to watch these wrecker games videos. I still watched all your videos during that time too!
I was so very glad to see you post this Casey. I was quite disappointed, but not surprised, to see everyone posting videos knowing that the participants were asked to not until everyone could have time to edit and release them. But today it's all about 'Hey, Look at ME!' I'm in the minority but I'm not watching all the unofficial videos. It was so much fun though watching you and Ben and your content is always top notch. We love what you do Casey and why you do it. Your humor would surely have been missed had you decided to pass on this event. Give our best to the family and to Grumpy, kinda miss seeing him, hope he is doing good.
Props to Merlon, I hope he gets lots of traffic on his channel from participating in this show.
I refused to watch any of the early videos until Matt and the other competitors posted theirs. Thank you for being up front and letting us know how you feel about it. I always enjoy your videos and always look forward to what you have next.
For the record, yes, I was interested in the games, but I'm also interested in the people who participated. So yeah, I've now seen the highlights of the event from several different perspectives. BUT I'm still interested in the people involved (including you!) and your interactions for those days. For a lot of us this wasn't just about the trucks and the competition, but also seeing people we've come to "know" and love interacting with the rest of our YT "family" and having a blast doing so. Watching people have fun is fun! So while I absolutely understand the logic of not posting the 12th rehash of similar content, at least some of your regular viewers *are* interested in seeing you and Ben joking around or you screwing with Paul while he's welding or any variety of the bribes you took, etc. I would totally understand if you don't post any other footage because the work involved doesn't outweigh the benefits, but I would still watch even though I've seen the event from a dozen different angles already!
^^^Exactly This^^^ Whatever Casey posts, I will watch. And will be sad if he ever quits YT.
Ditto👍
Same here. It really makes it.
Rather funny watching all the bribes now we know where that money went!
I appreciate all the effort and honesty you put in to your videos. Even though I've watched most of the other participant videos already, yours was a nice change and a little different perspective. Good job and keep it going!
Great video as always! Yeah, I watched a bunch of the early videos because I couldn't wait, but your coverage is SO much better, so I'm now re-watching all the action with you. Thanks for all that you do!
Thanks for posting, hope this can help offset a very small part of your monetary loss durring the games because you are honest and professional. Your diehard fans, myself included, have your back!
I like the fact that you've included material of what other participants said and did - that stuff could never be in the unofficial videos unless someone happened to be standing close by. I loved the portion in which Lizzy was listening to your analysis of how Blue Steel got damaged and the subsequent talk with Matt. It shows how much knowledge is available in the towing community and how well it's shared.
She's a smart, listens and pays attention when people with experience are analysing a failure. Still has a lot to learn of course, but her confidence is so much higher that it was when she first started and she still asks for advice during recoveries when she's the Lead.
Such a Respectful Man , You knew the main reason to get there, have fun ,meet the wonderful people involved .
Congratulations , we need more people like you.
Thank you Casey for posting this! I watched some of the shorts but I didn't see any actual videos of the games. Been waiting for yours. 😊
I like your Wrecker Games video, it plays more like a Human Interest story with a backdrop of the Wrecker Games. So much hilarity, personality, and good times. Definitely a different angle than the other dozen videos I watched. Great job Casey.
To be perfectly honest I have not seen nor will I watch any videos from that except ones that you and Matt post. You two are the reason I watch recovery videos. It's a personality thing.
This needs a double thumbs up
Love your honesty with this and how you explained the reasoning. I’m old school and get a kick out of how people can’t handle your honesty and attitude, keep it up love how you handle things. You can tell you were enjoying the games and meeting your fellow RUclipsrs.
I love watching your videos and your commentary! Keep it up! It’s also fun to see places I’ve been to in your videos since I used to live over west of Salem and camped and backpacked all over cascades around the Bend/Sisters/Redmond/Madras areas!
Based on your up close observations, it would be interesting for you to make a video commenting on the pros and cons of each competitors rigs, and in what types of work scenarios they are best suited to.
The videos from each of you special RUclips guys are well worth watching. Most of what you guys post is "inside" stuff and it is exclusively on your videos. I will and did wait to see your videos. I went to the wrecker games to see you and Ben, and Paul, and everyone else. Thank you for coming and thank you for being you.
Honestly, I'm one who has been patiently awaiting your view from the games. But totally understand where you're coming from. You do you Casey! Your efforts towards this channel are greatly appreciated. You're a busy man & gotta make a living too.
Question: I rewatch your videos, do you get credit for each view or just the first one?
You have lots of sense in your video stuff. I'm glad ya'll had a good time. Yours is the first official participant videos ive watched so far. ;) Hope that helps in your analytics and stuff. Keep up the good work.
Merlins dash cam video of bunny hopping with Bleepin' Colt was priceless! Clips like that are the reason I am still excited to watch Participant videos of the event. Spectator channels just could not get this level of content.
do not sell yourself short KC you and your personality makes the videos just that much better even if they are the "same" as others
Couldn’t agree more!!
I only watched the participants videos don't recognize video don't watch
Thanks for the explanation Casey, I can see your viewpoint. For what its worth though, I found this video one of the most captivating because of your focus on the people and interactions ( the technical stuff having been done to death already), and I would like to see your wrap up of the even too.
Thank you for explaining how it actually works. Sorry to hear about the Analytics. I watch all your stuff every time you post something, because I like your storytelling. And I have been looking forward to your view of the wrecker games. As I did for all of the people I subscribe to that were in or had something to do with the wrecker game. Much love to you and your family!
I’ve seen the wrecker games a billion times but I’ve watched all the main people too in support. I honestly didn’t know the winner, winners until Rory and Merlin posted
I watched this video because I know your friend put a lot of effort into getting that International ready to go. I was hoping to see more of what he was doing at the games. He has a very interesting personality. Probably the most chill person I have ever seen.
You're the only wrecker guy I watch, haven't watched any wrecker game videos while I waited for you to post your videos. Thanks for finally posting so I can see what went on. Love your videos, Casey! Stay safe and healthy!
Love your behind the scenes take of the wrecker game. It was funny. And to see the camaraderie between the group helping Merlin look for, getting, finding parts so he could get his wrecker going. True friends! 🤙😎
Totally get what you're saying Casey. I follow about half of the main channels involved. I thought I'd probably only watch one or two of the channels coverage as they were likely to all be the same. But what I found is that each channel gave a different perspective and style of reporting, so I actually ended up watching more (and some different) main channels than I would normally. Glad you enjoyed the event. 👍
Yes the perspetives were all differnt i some way wich was the best part.
Yup, I have watched Merlin's and Paul's videos on the repair job, and Casey had parts they didn't. But, I am a regular viewer of all the participants' channels, and several of the judges' channels, so I am likely a very small part of the analytics.
Very good video. Your focus on the competitors and people rather than actual event was really good. So many videos showed the actual events. The people and their personalities is what made this a special event.
Agreed!100%
I watched your video, I read Rory’s comment and all I want to say is it was quality entertainment at its best! I did not watch the videos that the spectators posted but waited for you and the rest of the participants posted and loved them all. I understand that you earn a living doing this and the analytics are what determine how much you are paid. I for one continued to watch your videos while the event was going on and until you posted the “Games”
In a nutshell, it was well thought out, organized and VERY ENTERTAINING!
My thanks to all of you!
I love how you fourth wall things. There may be a lot of videos of the w.g. but yours is first for how it was behind the scenes. Thanks
We waited just for your videos, still haven't watched most of them so we could see the good stuff...you are a solid stand up dude, hope the channel and your business does nothing but grow and prosper in the future!
Integrity and self respect are worth far more than RUclips analytics, 6 days a week and twice on Sunday! As much as I'm positive that you love doing these videos for us, I know its not your bread and butter income source so it would have been in no way worth your own self respect just for a few extra views! You have my respect, admiration and my thanks Casey for what you do and for who you are! Keep 'em coming and I'll keep watching 'em!
Great video Casey. I have watched the other videos even ones posted day after the event and enjoy seeing the different views. You sir did an outstanding job.
Man I enjoyed the banter between the drivers and the judges. But you have officially made the judge of the games. Helping out like you did with the transfer case, you my friend are a Rockstar and have a great heart
Thank you for your video. I was wondering why you hadn’t posted yet but it 100% makes since. Thanks for sharing today’s video. Watched every minute Casey.
Hi Casey. I love your content. You are who you say you are and you don't make any excuses about how you feel about anything.
Your integrity speaks loudly and clearly. I am glad to be a subscriber to your channel. You teach me everyday which nobody else does. The entertainment you give your audience is second to none. Keep-em coming.
I, too, waited for your wrecker games video, since It's your personality that drives me to watch what and how you view the experience. Thank you for this behind the scenes look at the comradery.,after hours banter. Nobody else could have offered such a point of view, and it was fun! What you offer is way more valuable than the analytics.
I'm glad you guys got to actually have some fun enjoy the wrecker games for what it was meant to be. Have fun. Make connections. I'm sure your viewership will grow even more.
Fun stuff Casey. Appreciate your honesty. Thanks for being a good sport.
My husband and I really enjoyed this post of the wrecker games in Hurricane UT Yours was extra enjoyable with the interaction you showed of the contestants and the judges. You had video no one else has. We were disappointed with other channels coverage that was leaked early. So glad we were able to enjoy yours now. We watch all your videos and appreciate your care for customers, their vehicles, and the environment. Love the relationships you have on regularly. Keep up the good work.
So, dear Casey, this is possibly the most interesting video i've seen so far of the Wrecker Games. Anyone can shoot trucks pullin' stuff, but a 'behind the scenes' is even more fascinating, especially when you do it. Well done.
Your honesty and integrity is much appreciated, Casey. I also am one of those who refused to watch any videos that were posted prior to the "official date", and only watched the channels such as MORR, Robby Layton and yourself. I did take a mental note of the channels that posted ahead of time, and, frankly, they are now in my "never watch" list, regardless of heir content. If one agrees to certain conditions, it is incumbent to hold to that agreement. Honesty counts!!
YES i did the same!✌😆
Amen
Just wanted to let you guys know that some of us didn't know we weren't allowed to watch the wrecker games before Matt said it was okay. I unsubscribe to Matt's off-road, felt like a bunch of money-grubbing to me. 🫢😝
@@laughingatlife7100
Money grubbing to give money away, to A widow etc
@@howtogetoutofbabylon8978 Yes, you give from your own heart not from anybody else's. I know you are probably just being obtuse but i just wanted to clear up any miss understandings.
I really like how genuine you are Cassey. I watch Matt's off road & Fab Rats etc also. You are so nice & so good at what you do. Even though you say your not good at this. I watch you & all the other's all the way from Queensland Australia 👍😎👍
I am so glad you posted that. I have not watched one single video from any one else. This was really fun to watch. I did not even know stuff like this existed, but that is because I live in North Carolina. Thanks Casey.
So glad to see you finally we're able to post I always enjoy your take on things. I'm glad you had fun. I was hoping to get to see you and been out driving that international around some of the trails. I know a lot of time and effort went into getting it ready to be there. I always enjoy your videos😊 take care and be safe
I appreciate your explanation of the RUclips universe. Everyone has their interests and reasons for watching. For this particular event I liked getting everyone’s individual experience and there were plenty of different perspectives. I kept going back to my notifications and pulling up my subscriptions to make sure I wasn’t missing the ones I wanted to I see. I’m glad you still posted it and hope it does well now that most everyone else has stopped posting that content.
RUclips tried desperately to get me to watch "poacher" vids. I did not. I watch content I subscribe to. You respect me. I respect you. ☮️
Thank you for the consistency! Stay safe and keep them coming!
I think I watched just one short (and no long videos) before you guys released your videos. I assumed you participants had such an agreement, and I watch these videos for the people, not so much the action. You've seen a few rock climbs, you've seen them all! I enjoy the builds and seeing the equipment. Your snow rescues are really interesting, since my last local snow was about 55 years ago!
I think you should win the most entertaining judge award, just like Rory won the most entertaining driver award. Your videos are great, and you added a lot to other creator's videos at the Games. Thanks, Casey!
Yeah, I waited till all the main people posted to watch. Love seeing it. Glad you were there. Completely get your point and it sucks people ruin it.
I would get those people to sign a entry form at the end i states by signing this you forfit all your possesions. Because they wouldent read it anyway!😂
I didnt watch it either until released by the individual participants because i like to see the event from their perspective and their experience and thats why you should post yours.
Really didn't care who won
I appreciate the time you took to post this video, even though there have definitely been a boat load of full length wrecker games videos from the audience view. The thing I enjoyed most about your (and the other judges) content wasn't the actual wrecker action, it was the banter and shenanigans that went on between the competitors and judges. Thanks again fo taking the time to put this together.
I've done enough work with data analytics to know that you're correct. I also know that I still really want to see the wrecker games from your perspective if you're willing to post them. Cheers to you, and thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Casey is really been a joy watching you do the things you do this video was awesome. And I don’t have to say this but I’m going to keep watching them. Keep them coming I want to watch more.
It was worth the wait 👊🏼 Thanks for showing the fun that the wrecker games was. 👍🏽😎
I believe all you guys have the utmost in integrity. Probably why you all have growing successful RUclips channels. I guess I’m one of the few that watched Matt’s,Rory’s , FabRats,Merlin’s and BSF’s videos from the games anyway. It was nice to see the individual perspectives.
Thanks Casey. Amen to the appreciation already expressed for you telling the background stories and RUclips particulars. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks Casey, I was wondering where all your videos of wrecker games. I've been anxiously waiting. Sad to hear so many people ruined the best laid plans.
Really nice job on this Casey! I love the behind the scenes footage and your perspective was different from the other videos and that was nice. I did not watch the wrecker videos until Matt released his.
I saw some of the other uploads but I still wanted to see yours, Matt’s, and Trailmator. I like the work you three do and your unique perspectives.
Great job with the video, although it was good to see the trucks (in all the other videos) more interested in the people and behind the scenes and you captured that well, thanks
I envy you, Casey. That looks like a great vacation! SO MUCH FUN! I'm one of the patient few who has waited for this video. You didn't disappoint.
That's why most of us could be personal friends with you vs. other youtubers. I think the wrecker games actually hurt most of the channels involved. I know this was all in fun, but you can really tell who does their job because they love what they do, and those who just make content.
Russel La rue----Who just makes content ?
Merlin said , " I used to be a professional rock crawler ." ( He was also the guy who built Paul`s motor .) He is also a well known mechanic .
Paul is a competitor , who originally met Matt Wetzel when they were doing demolition derbies . He built a truck that had no problems, even though it was brand new .
Rory Irish is from Moab , grew up there, and has been off roading for many years . Moab Motorsports grew from his hobby . Shawn and Mike seem to be his friends .
Eric is a mechanic , weekend off roader , and has been putting out RUclips videos since 2009 or thereabouts .
26:45 I started cracking up when I saw that Frozen bucket appear out of nowhere. And then a few seconds later here comes Spiderman, haha! I'm glad you ended up posting this Casey! It's some good content
Thanks for your explanations to things. I really enjoyed your lead up videos building the road trip rig.
I am the 1%. I love the content that you, Eric, Rory, Robby, Paul, Chad, and Matt put out. The rest of the people, I may watch once in a while, but it doesn't click for me the same way as you guys. I think it's because your videos are a little more to the point and you do a good job describing what you are doing and don't try to oversell it. You pride yourselves on your honesty and enjoy sharing what you're doing instead of just trying to sell a sponsors product - and when you are doing a sponsored product, you're like "Hey, this is a sponsored product. Watch if you like, I won't be butt-hurt if you don't." I appreciate that and usually watch (or leave it running in a background muted tab) so that you can keep your view numbers and watch time up to help you out because I appreciate you. Look forward to meeting some of you when we get to the western half of the country with our skoolie (and I hope we don't need a pull out or a tow)!
I just looked at your videos page and I've watched every video in the last 3 months back to "Bad ideas with tow trucks, round two!" EXCEPT for one of your CES expo ones (I don't care for much of that kind of convention content, nothing against you).
I really hope your videos of the Wrecker Games do very well. I've seen shorts and reels of the event, but I haven't seen full-length videos of the games yet. I've been patiently waiting for your videos specifically.
From Down under here, I appreciate your commitment and integrety to the cause and agreements!! I've only watched the regular channels I've always watched if that helps
I love your honest content and hope you keep it up. Thanks for the entertainment
that merlin is a getter done guy ,you was on a helluva team. and it was cool see your perspective thank you Casey
They couldn't have had a better 'wild card' than Merlin!
Casey what I love about you is your blatant honesty! Good thinking on your timing!
I watch these video not only for the wrecker games but all the personalities. You guys are beautiful and great people. To get to know you all is really what it is all about. I really enjoy these video a lot and you guys do a great job. Keep it up.
Great video Casey, you have content from an entirely unique perspective. No one else had this stuff. That's what I love about watching all the different youtubers videos. It's all different views, even if of the same event.
Morning Casey. I enjoy your channel. Your h Honesty and integrity is a breath of fresh air. Hope all goes great for you and your family
I'm one of those who waited. I'm so glad you guys had a great time. Sorry you didn't feel good on day two. As an Oregonian I'm glad your in with such a great group.
I waited too, probably a bunch of us too.
I love your straight forward honesty. It's very refreshing and I appreciate it
What impressed me was Merlin's repair team didn't have anyone under 50 in there. Us old guys know how to get stuff done.
I like seeing how each view point went, as someone who didn’t go, i’ve watched a ton of videos and wish there were more, love your channels and seeing a glimpse of your point of view and opinion
I waited, expecting pretty much what you said. The content was excellent: interesting and funny. Post more from the games or don't, your judgment is trusted. I remember some excellent suggestions you gave while Matt's wrecker was in its early, structural stage.
I enjoy all your videos. I too am one that did not watch any wrecker videos until the "official" ones were posted. Keep up the good work.
I’m obviously the odd man (woman) out, as I watched all participant videos and saw something different in every single one. A different perspective. I also enjoyed them all.
I didn’t understand why the video release date was over a week past the event, or why spectators who were charged entry were asked to wait also. But that’s just me. Because people who attended posted congrats on the winners channels prior to the results videos, keeping it a secret wasn’t possible even without other videos. That is the part of the event that wasn’t so special to me when I finally got to see their videos.
So, I’d encourage you to release the rest of your footage, as I think you’ll be surprised. 🌺
Me too.
Your not so odd after all...I enjoyed everyone's videos, after waiting so long to see the Games I couldn't get enough of them and all the various non-participant family videos just made it even more special. Casey will get over it eventually. When the 'official' so to speak videos came out I watched all of them too.
My husband kept asking if I was watching the same video or if it was different one, I watched and liked them all!
@GodIsLove my rant???? Lol if you’re referring to me, my comment was anything but a rant. Some people read the written word in the way they speak. Instead of an innocent opinion and encouragement for Casey to release the footage he has.
And thank you for your explanation. But it really wasn’t necessary. You realize that tho, right?
Awesome coverage as what I was expecting and waiting for. The chance to be the fly on the wall listening to your observations and interactions is why I am a loyal subscriber. Thank you for your hard work that's not always shown on your videos, this guy also keeps in mind that you have a family along with a business and all of the day-to-day challenges to handle. You rock!
