    Dude, keep at it! These hard times is what really counts, and if it was easy, anyone can do it! Most viewers dont understand all of the work, stress, blood, sweat, and tears that goes into these videos... It is tough no doubt, but dont stress, make sure you get things straightened out in "real life" and get back on your feet! I look forward to the turn-around! If you ever get to NJ, or need to talk, hit-me-up!

      Good to see you supporting another person.
      He'll be fine and should always focus on the positive side of life. You will meet someone better, believe me. You will get more work but next time try and balance your work life and love life so that one doesn't suffer because of the other. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help even from some of us. You never know what we can do or are capable of doing to help each other. Stay positive, stay passionate and just do what you do best, be you.

    Hang in there man, this was great to see as I can relate tremendously. You have good rules and no one really understands what's going on in the background, but you'll have "amazing videos twice a week" or you've suddenly changed and your style is completely different and it'll never be the same again. Trends aren't as short as people think they are. We all have our low times, but when you're expected to put out a video every week it can be quite challenging to put on a facade and pretend like everything's just fine. Keep doing your thing!

    The sub loss was from a purge that google did. Their system that removes inactive subs and old accounts glitched. When they found the glitch they fixed and did a huge purge removing inactive subs. It happen to everyone. Keep up the great work really love your videos. :)

Nothing spectacular but content is content if you're interested. (Edit: and a CTS Intake but realistically, I think in the Alabama heat, that's only good for hearing cool turbo noises)

    I just wanna say that I think it's dumb how some people unsubscribe from a channel just because of a slow period. my channel isn't as big as yours ( 170k subs) but I'm only doing it part time and have a full time job, girlfriend, and a project car so I do try and make quality videos as much as possible but sometimes it's just not feasible. It's free to stay subscribed to someone so for anyone reading this just please don't unsubscribe just because of 1 or 2 modest videos because there will be more awesome videos to come regardless of the channel :)

    Dude! Don't worry about the sub loss! Every single RUclipsr lost lots of subs that day (for example, PewDiePie lost 600k), its RUclips auto deleting spam accounts or something.

    The 2500 subs lost was nothing, just a glitch on yotube. Many people experienced that, some people even gained 2500 subs instead of losing them, lol.

    • @hanse81
      @hanse81 8 лет назад +3

      No, it was no glitch, it was RUclips cleaning up inactive accounts. I have heard of no one gaining subs but the biggest youtubers lost several 100k.

    Damn dude, I really hope things get better for you. I'm struggling too as well, just as I moved to Seattle for school. I've been let go from a job (never have been let go from anything), went through a break up with the person I still feel is the one for me, and totaled my vehicle which I'm now dealing with insurance and lawyers. I feel like life has sucked since I moved here but still am fighting. I just landed a new higher paying job and am saving up for a new vehicle and trying to mature a little. I'm really glad I watched this because it's giving me that much more motivation to keep working!

Your a seasoned pro. Situations like this will only make you stronger and a better person. Situations like this make you appreciate the good better and the great that much more. You didn't need those people who left. Good riddance to them. They are not your TRUE FANS. People who stick around thru the thick and thin are your true fans.

    Hey David, not sure if you're going to read this or if you've ever watched any of our videos... but I just want to say how much you connected with me in this video. The authenticity, the story, the explanation. On May 19th, my girlfriend of 2.5 years broke up with me. The girl I thought I was going to marry, the girl who was by my side from 100 subscribers all the way to 60,000 subscribers. My best friend, my road trip pal, and the love of my life. The only clue was a slightly depressing post I made on Instagram. Other than that.. I was isolated, to everyone else I was fine. My heart began to sink as this video was playing and I was just thinking to myself what are the chances. Our channels are very different, and yours is even more personal than Roads Untraveled. I have a separate channel for vlogs, but your rule about keeping the personal away from RUclips is something I've had to adhere to as well.I had absolutely no motivation to do anything for weeks after. Subscribers to our channel also left... We didn't put out any big, exciting videos until just yesterday... A month and a half after I was too beginning to feel depressed.
    What I guess I'm trying to say is that as much as we have control over the content we produce and the message we give out to the car community, it can all disappear in a second, just like you said. There are some things that have the POTENTIAL to ruin me.. but would I ever let that happen? Not in a million years. I love your content David, I love your passion, and I hope one day we can meet and make some videos together, even though we're not in the same league in subscriber numbers. This video really hit home. Stay strong man.
    - Marcus.

    Hey David,
    Keep your head up man. I know a bit of your struggle. I'm paralyzed in a wheelchair from an accident in 2004 when I was 5. Now I'm struggling to get a job because every time I go into a place they don't want to hire me. And the people who don't mind the chair want experience that I just don't have. I've also had several medical issues including having 17 levels of spinal fusion which means I have 2 titanium rods in my back that go all the way down which causes me a lot of pain. I've also got numerous other issues in my life. I do totally agree with you man that things will get better. I always look up to God and just know that he's in control. As for your car reviews, I live in St. Augustine in the same area where you reviewed the Pontiac Solstice. I have hand controls in my car that make it easy for me to drive. I know it wouldn't make for an incredibly interesting video but it might be cool to show how I get in and out and how the car drives and everything like that even though it's just a Corolla. If you read this just let me know and maybe something can come of it.

I think you should try to learn how to ride one, I bet you it will make you feel so much different. Take care bro, I hope you feel better soon. Things always turn around.

    This just crossed my mind, and it might add a whole new dimension to your channel. What's your experience with bikes? If you have none, starting small and gradually upsizing will not slow your bike content down (plenty of reviewable 250's and 300's out there, and there's more than just sportbikes). I think the bike world is just as diverse as the car world, and it would be something to look forward to on your channel!

As far as the woman she's obviously not the one so she did you a favor and for your next girl you should give her enough attention and not spend all your time talking to a camera. You have enough to not be depressed just make it work

And I had to agree. Dang, man. Life does suck from time to time - I mean, really suck. But, you never stay in the suck zone forever. Like you said, it will get better. You're just going through a rough patch and it may not feel like you're handling things well, but from what I've seen, YOU ARE!!! Thanks for sharing, man :)

I feel like I haven't been delivering to my subscribers and that I'm failing them. Basically i feel like I'm in a rut of not being able to keep up my channel and it is really aggravating me. This video kind of sparked the end of the fuse, I'm going to try a lot harder to become more active with better content, I'm done having the setbacks keep me from being a good yotuber.

      He maybe looked on the taxes again since he was expecting to live with his girlfriend (now ex), splitting the tax or something... re-calculate everything since it now boils down to him for paying everything.

      lol I love Camrys, especially that 02 model, you know if you really want to invest money into it for performance, Scion tC engine parts like SuperChargers or Turbos can work in your Camry

    Rough chain of events there man, especially with somebody shooting up your house!
    I don't regularly watch you, but hope you get back up on your feet soon. Life has its ups and its downs and you really need these downs every once in awhile to appreciate when things are going well. Head up, man, keep at it, persistent, it'll get better.

    Did somebody purposefully shoot at your house or was it just stray fire from trying to kill somebody else.

      He probably shot his own house up while acting crazy over loosing a piece of tail. last time I check suburbia only gets shot up for 2 reasons. women and drugs.

      @rpvilleneuve 8 лет назад

      +IrishFists you have a better explanation?????? That's a nice looking community to just have his house randomly shot up. I don't buy his story for even a second. I could think of countless scenarios most involve women and drugs lmao. But forreal man no one was being hostile here, I was sharing my view which is still protected by the constitution last time I checked. if he didn't want to get people's honest feelings he should have disabled the comments.

    Keep it up man. I've been watching you for awhile and just subscribed. Everyone hits hard times every now and then and when it rains it pours. If you are ever up in Detroit you can do a review on my bolt-on GTO (not as quick as the supercharged one you did already!)

    I love your review videos as much as the next guy, but to be honest it's good to see a little bit of personal stuff on the channel as well because it offers some insight into you as a person. Getting to know more about the REAL you and not just your game face makes your reviews that much more real. It makes you a little more trustworthy, kinda like if I had a friend tell me about an experience they had vs a random stranger... of course I'm going to be more interested in what my buddy has to say. Keep your chin up brother, myself and many many others have got nothing but love for ya. You put out awesome content and are one of my top 5 favorite channels. You're one of the best reviewers out there, far too many just recite numbers you can get from any website but you are all about the feel and the experience. I find that to be a lot more informative. You have a following for a reason...
