Hi!! THANK YOU!! -And channel update!
51I've been wanting to say thank you, to all of you, for a long time. I've thought long and hard about how I can *actually* thank you, and a lot of ideas have crossed my mind. One of them has been to do give-aways (which I still want to do), but in reality, those only "thank" the lucky few who win them, so I wanted to do "more."
The conclusion I came to was that I need to treat this channel like a real "thing" and not just like a "fluke." The truth is: I never thought this channel would take off, as much as it has. -I genuinely never thought people would care this much about my opinions, demonstrations, or reviews. For a long time, I just posted videos whenever I could, and I didn't think too much of it, if I went long periods of time without posting.
But, after a while, a funny thing started happening. People started going to my videos and asking me to review products that I had never even talked about. It even reached a point where people would ask me when and if I would do a review on a product that had just been announced. People valued my videos and my opinions. ...That says a lot to me.
So to thank my (currently 2,577) subscribers (and the hundreds of thousands of people who have watched my videos), I have decided to dig deeper and commit to covering more games and products.
In this video, I specifically, go over what I'm going to do to better test games and graphics cards for my PC gaming brethren. I am expanding from my current 2 computer test system to a 4 computer test system, and I am greatly upgrading my components.
While I'm posting this video today, this is a plan I have been working on since the beginning of the year. It has taken me a long time to save up the resources, and to even make space in my office for all of this gear. I have only, now, been ready to show this to you.
In time, I plan to have better production values, and to start editing more of my videos. I will also be making new channels, so that people who are interested in one topic that I talk about can follow that topic, without having to wade through the videos and topics they don't care about. With that said... I will still be uploading ALL of my videos to THIS channel, as I always have. The separate channels will be a service to the people who find that useful.
**Update: YouTube purged a lot of people's subscribers last night. PewDiePie lost 600,00, while I seem to have lost more than 100. So, if you're watching this video and find it odd that my subscriber count is lower than what I claim above (and in this video), that is why.
