How I Changed Content and Lost Subscribers on YouTube

- So, would you like to know how I changed content and lost subscribers on youtube? Well, join me on the motorcycle (the tracer 900 gt), and let's chat about the change I made to my channel, switching from the motorcycle I ride and the impact on my channel. It sure is a lesson in how slight changes in a creator's eyes can have a big impact on your channel - and smaller channels get hit harder...

I'm still here. I was heartbroken when you got rid of the bobber. That's what I ride and i luv it.... But I still enjoy the content. The sport touring bikes are growing on me.
Thanks! Sport touring has picked up a lot of speed in the past year or so. You get so much tech and so much comfort for a fraction compared to larger, cruiser touring style motorcycles. That is largely why I went that direction
You became known as the Indian Scout Bobber guy just like I am mostly known for the Ducati Multistrada V4S even though I review all sorts of bikes and had an ISB just like you. You will always move forward due to your great content. Good luck on the new venture.
Yeah ... will take time I suppose. By the way, your Michelin Road 6 video was a good one!
@@dadwithabike Thank you Sir. When you can scrape pegs with an adventure bike that has 8.25" of clearance and a 19" front tire, you know the road tires are good and confidence inspiring.
I haven't seen too many of your videos lately, but I too am in the process of trading my Scout Bobber in on a new '22 Tracer 9 GT. Weird coincidence! Wish I had the room in the garage to keep it.
I never understood people who were so brand loyal that they refused to try another style of bike. Keep making the content, and riding the bikes that YOU enjoy, and people will watch.
Thanks! And I love that new Tracer 9 ... the tech on that thing is amazing
Your change was inspiring for me. I am relatively new to motorcycling. I am a tall big guy at 6' 5" and 280lbs. I am also 67 years old and have been riding 2 years. I ride a Victory Vision Premium Tour. It is a wonderful motorcycle but also heavy. I am limited in choices. Way to tall for a Scout or any Harley, except a Pan America. I know at some point I will need to get a lighter bike. The Tracer 9 GT would likely fit the bill. There is no perfect motorcycle, just the perfect motorcycle for yourself and your needs. The goal is to ride until you are older than dirt and enjoy the ride. Screw the label, just ride. Keep up the great content. I am not leaving.
Thanks for the support! Your height and weight ... yeah, a sport tourer or ADV would be perfect :-)
tall guy wanting comfortable capable bike id be looking at Adventure type bikes. but i am extremely bias decades as a dualsport/Adventure rider 6'3" 240 myself
@@justsomedude445 agreed...
This 54 yr old still enjoys your channel. I just purchased a leftover “21” Tracer 9GT and I love it ( except the seat , tilts forward ). Keep it up !
Yeah, the seat is annoying. I have a Bagster Ready seat on order to fix that very thing.
sloping forward toward the tank is soo common a seat issue with i think every bike ive bought recent , "Seat Concepts" i have had amazing customer service and always an amazingly good product and for a fraction of the cost of most aftermarket seats
New subscriber here after watching this video. I’m also a dad with a bike and a dad with a RUclips channel. I think you will recover just fine, I have pivot my channel several times and added new content a long the way. I didn’t want to only appease the algorithm and fall victim to posting content just to post content. I feel much more satisfied posting what I find enjoyable, creative, and what aligns with what’s happening to me at that moment in my life. It’s actually easy to get bored with one type of content and you might actually stop posting videos all together, changing your niche will keep things enjoyable in the long run and you will be happier. Just my two cents! Keep up the good work.
Thank you or the support, appreciate it. Us dads have to stick together ;-)
I followed your content and loved my Scout Bobber for the 830 miles I put on it. For some reason it just wasn't doing it for me and your channel helped me to move away from the bobber. I seriously considered the Tracer 9 but for me the MT09 fits the bill. I got blessed and was able to purchase a 2022 MT09 and then sold my Scout Bobber for a decent price. Much happier with the MT09 now. Thanks for all the work you've put into these videos!
So we are basically riding the same bike....I just have a few more bits for touring. I LOVE the Yamaha CP3 engine ... best engine IMO
Thanks for the insights dad! I’m just starting out with putting stuff up on RUclips and trying to figure it out. I’ll eventually find a lane but for now, I’m just having fun with it. I’m in the Austin area to so I recognize a lot of the roads in your videos. You have great content - I love all styles of moto. Thanks for sharing it with the world.
Thanks for the support. I'll go throw a subscribe on your channel so I can keep up with what you're doing. Good luck!
ISB rider here ..sticking with you. I love my ISB but I can see myself wanting more performance as I gain more experience and confidence. Also being a Dad that just met the other side of 40, I don't think I belong on a sport bike, but I could see myself on a high revving sport tourer. The low rev cruisers are comfy, but they just aren't exciting to me. Keep the content coming..I think there are more of us out there that can relate!
thanks - yeah, same with me ... loved the ISB but was missing something and the sport tourer met that for me.
I'm an Indian Scout Bobber bro for sure. Not gunna lie about it. Watched about every Scout video on RUclips. Your's in particular got me more into the Scout and then I purchased one. I also kinda fell off watching your content a bit when you started drifting from the Scout. However, I'm excited to see you venture off and get different rides on here. I recently purchased a GSX-R 750, so I'm also venturing out to other bikes. It's just how life is. N+1, now lets have some fun.
Nice on the GXS-R pick-up ... great bikes!
I’m still here brother. Your channel will rebound with new subs
I hope so - thanks for the support
It’s all about relatability. Your channel about the scout content was really awesome. I now have a scout mainly because of your influence for modifications. I’ve made a lot of changes based on your recommendations. Still good stuff and I’ll be sure to reach out if I have any scout questions. Keep up the good work! 🤙🏽
Absolutely - and I'm still here to answer ANY scout questions people have.
those brand or category guys who only 'real' motorcycle is a ............insert my current bike here (usually Harley fans) are just short sighted and not so bright to be honest in my opinion , i love all motorcycles and if i had the time to use em all and budget id have 20 or 30 new bikes but alas i do not , my own choice is adventure bikes todays modern ones are just soooooo damn capable its crazy. you just came up in my feed recently so new sub well done totally agree
Awesome thanks. ADV is in the next two years or so for me. I don't have a whole lot of opportunity to go off-road but once my kids are out of the house I'll be spending a lot of time adventuring off-road and have plans to take some interesting long off-road travels
@@dadwithabike = cool handle , both of my now adult sons ride also (27 & 30)
@@dadwithabike i had big plans for the last few seasons but the pandemic shutdowns ect about destroyed our business so ive found myself working 6 days a week lucky to take off a few 3 day weekends , ive run the wa & idaho 'BDR' rotes both and am hoping to get through Montana or Utah this season
This video just came up on my feed, and I’ll give you a new sub. I’m also a dad with a bike, and I prefer motorcycle content that’s more varied. I like Indian (but ride a BMW) but probably would not have subbed had it been too tightly focused on one particular bike. Sounds like maybe you’re expanding your horizons both with this bike and your content, so I’m interested to see where you go.
Thanks! And yeah, we are adding another bike to the mix .... one I just inherited and am excited to ride.
I’m still here. You’re dadwithabike not dadwithabobber. Your channel is still a great reference resource for those of us bobbin. You’ll provide great content on this bike, and the next. Enjoy your bike. Enjoy the ride. Be patient 😉. Be safe.
Thanks for supporting the channel!
I’m still here I don’t care what you ride!🤘💯👍
I appreciate that
Great advice. I picked up a lot of subscribers when I introduced my Sportster S. I’ve been wondering how to deal with that if I ever should trade in the bike for something else. Well done sir.
Yeah, I suspect I just Dori through it and "just keep swimming"
Evening from Germany. 😎
Just found your channel and bumped your subscriptions up to one more than before. 😂☺️
Awesome, I love Germany and its on my list for places I want to ride.
I am still here, you are still putting out motorcycle content.
Thank you sir!
I am 69, 6 foot 2 at 240 lbs. I own a 99 Super Glide and want to get a new bike. Been looking at Indian but like what I am hearing about your Tracer. I will be keeping track of your channel.
Well, thanks for subbing. I'm a fan of the Tracer and had it back when it was the FJ-09. It's been a fantastic platform.
Still hear. I am here because of the content. not because of a specific bike. Eventually I will change bikes as well. When I finally started creating motorcycle content, I gain 11 subs, then after my 3rd video I lost 4 haha. So I hear ya. I am doing this outside of work, and family as well.
You keep doing YOU and the new bike followers will come and grow the channel even more.
Keep up the great content.
Right on! Thanks for the support also!
Been looking at that 900! Ya got a new sub Dad! Lol 👍😂
It's a fun, fun bike...
I ride the Indian Scout Bobber, that being said, I enjoy your videos. Ride your ride & you do you.
Thanks brother
Interesting stuff, but I'm sure it came a no surprise!
Naw, I knew I'd lose some
Hey I'm still watching! I think I've decided which bike im going to trade my bobber in for... I'm going to get 2 bikes! A BMW R nineT and a 2021 Yam Tracer 9 GT. One for flogging and one for logging... miles. Lol. Love your vids! Keep up the good work!
I see your channel as a guy trying to find the perfect bike, which I highly relate to. I think im figuring out that there is no such thing and you just have to have multiple bikes!
Right on! Oh, and the BMW R nineT is a bad mammer jammer
Being a newb tuber myself...I see your point already...
haha, yeah
I came to your channel because I was searching for content on scout upgrades. I think it's understandable when people end up being subscribers for specific content that when you quickly change tracks that some people will drift off. There isn't a lot of Indian content on RUclips, and those who make it often do so intermittently. Those who got here and are still here were probably the ones who either like any motorcycle content or you as a creator. I think I'm the end you will end up with a lot more subscribers as you continue to customize your new bike, because I think the adv segment is RUclips is a lot more trafficked.
Yeah, I was prepared to lose some and gain some. I am adding some cruiser stuff back in because of a change that has recently happened. So the channel will have more than just one bike on it now...should be good.
@@dadwithabike a lot of people that I used to watch all the time because they did actual vlogs on a regular basis have mostly stopped and just fly around the country doing test rides. I like your channel because you do a lot of vlogs. I like the other stuff that people do, as long as they keep up the vlogs. For me with my work schedule and the extreme weather I really enjoy the videos where people are actually riding. Especially when I can't.
As a new biker, sport touring is what I like to go towards. But for once it's nice watching a dad on a bike NOT doing 90mph
There may or may not be times when we exceed the speed limit ... but we do it on a sport touring bike so it is more mature
@@dadwithabike right, like playing with sports cars, picking your moments when dads get to play
Tracer 900 is a sweet bike congrats
Thanks! I'm loving the bike - looking to book a track day here before too long.
So you went towards a more "dad bike." I think you have to make content you enjoy and then keep it going. Yeah, if someone hates the new content, that's their problem. You enjoying what you are doing is the way to go. Keep it up. I'm a cruiser boy myself, but enjoy seeing the content.
Yeah ... I'm adding some cruiser stuff back soon :-)
I have the same problem. I ride several different bikes, a Victory cruiser, a Kawasaki Z900 naked sport bike, and an Indian bobber. And I sometimes make other content that I want to make. It seems the analytics only like one or two words, and same category all the time? I don’t know. It doesn’t seem to matter much either way. I’ve tried a pure focused very few keywords etc but RUclips just does what it does. I just do what I like go on.
Yeah, it's weird and hard to figure out properly - I guess eventually something will click. Until then, I just record away, build the content - besides I enjoy learning and figure out how to do the video and photo editing.
I'm still around, just got back from my trip on the bobber
Ohhh, how was it?
@@dadwithabike really good time, one buddy couldn't make it last min, so we went down to your area. We even did a rally at black gold harley north of Dallas
Some of it must be RUclips being RUclips - despite being subscribed and having "All notifications" enabled - this is the first video I've seen since you were still riding and talking about the bobber. I've received zero notifications from your channel in the past several months as near as I can tell.
Wow, that is CRAZY ... I've been posting my normal frequency. Man, that is good to know
Ride what you like... Psst might have a NT1100 in my future.
Ohhh you'll have to report back on that NT1100 .... lots of tech tied up in that bike
Hey,I like your gloves in this video,what brand are they? Thanks
These are from Fast Mask. www.fastmask.com/collections/motorcycle-gloves/products/snow-multicam-motorcycle-glove
Thanks.
Still here man. But I gotta admit that yes with the content change, it's not as relevant to me. Will be interesting to see where you take the channel though.
Thanks .... I'm about to add something that may keep you entertained
It is what it is.
Fo shizzzle
RUclipsrs who do gaming videos, they usually focus on one game and the moment they try to go wider, to more games, stuff goes the same as in your case...
Yeah true .... maybe one day when I have one billion subscribers (hahahaha) it won't freak me out as much
I followed for the scout bobber and now you don't have it....I'm still subscribed but I'm not a sport bike fan
Totally agree...my "new and yet to be released" addition to the channel may entertain you then - more to come
Human nature, people don’t like change.
Quite true....quite true!
The videos of my 2jz get the most attention. But I can't stand RUclips so I put no effort in.
I try to put as much useful content on here as possible ... but yeah, I get it
Probably would help if you would actually use the Adventure bike for what it's made for. You're pushing out the same content you did for the scout, it would help if you would actually post some more interesting stuff not riding around the city.
Tracer isn't an adventure bike. It is a sport touring bike. You could do some light off road but that is the extent. The 17" wheels and exposed under carriage tells that story
I say nitch too lol.
Haha, yeah - I'm not sure which is the best way to say it ... but know it isn't niece ;P
I ain’t going anywhere
That is fantastic to hear brother!
