Don't quit teaching, those lucky students need a great teacher like you.

I think constantly obsessing over KZfaq stats is something a lot of creators go through. But over time, you see the cycles and patterns as interest comes and goes in what you're covering. Yes, you could make that obsession your continual mindset, but you could also actively choose not to, and doing that gets easier with time and experience. Eventually if you can find a way to switch off from stats, it can be more mentally sustainable, and the enjoyment can come from being proud of the work you do on the channel, regardless of what the stats say. And if you're happy and proud of the work, it's more likely to be a good video, which usually benefits the channel in some way long term. Ultimately though you should do what's best for you. Turning a hobby into a full time job isn't for everyone, and if you have a fulfilling job outside of KZfaq, that's also a great approach

Great decision. Thanks for great videos and I'm sure your students will look back on the years in your class and be very grateful- even if they don't feel that way now. 🧡

Do not quit teaching and just enjoy making tech videos for fun Being successful content creator is challenging nowadays .

Hot Take: KZfaq isn't a Marriage... it's a Situationship

Hi Mr. Owen! I’m one of your former students and just got into medical school. You don’t know this as I was quiet but you really inspired me with your positive attitude. Thank you for being you.

Daniel we all go through this - "the plateau" or "downturn". The best advice I can give, and the practice I got good at that's helped me the most, is this: Try comparing current "10/10 videos" to your "10/10 videos" from years ago. Say to yourself: "ok, this one is doing bad for NOW, but how is it doing compared to that one poorly performing video I had a couples "cycles" ago? Almost always, as long as you are always improving and putting in the work, you'll notice that you are doing wildly better (or at least not worse) than back then. Every channel eventually latches onto a cyclical pattern of growth, plateau, drop, and then bouncing back up for more growth. It's inevitable. The first time you go through it is always the hardest, and then you just get more numb to it every time you go through it. And then of course always remind yourself of two things - (1) I enjoy this job I can't believe I have, and (2) I am already doing better than I ever expected. At least that's true for me, and I suspect it's true for most KZfaqrs that stick around for more than a few months - we've all stumbled into a dream job or hobby that we've already succeeded at more than we expected. Now, if those last two things aren't true for you, THEN that's when I think you take a break or reevaluate things - but only THEN. Not during a cyclical downturn. Hope I helped. Best Wishes. :)

Hey man, I get that 10 of 10 thing. It seriously messes me up too. You make a video you’re very passionate about, high-quality content, but KZfaq is like “9 of 10” because it pulled ONLY 30k-40k views. And 30-40k views is pretty amazing honestly. It can just come to how you market the video then that becomes a moral dilemma. The constant anxiety of checking stuff, pleasing sponsors, all that, it isn’t even close to healthy. I honestly think breathing in concrete dust and breaking my back tiling on my remodeling job was healthier. Which sounds crazy, but KZfaq can be really isolating. No one that isn’t in it really understands it, yet everyone just wants to see the views keep going up. And with KZfaq full time, you are always able to keep working and it will translate to better videos makes it really hard to let loose and chill a little. Your decision is very respectful to maintain both. I honestly think that’s one big component of what makes your channel so great. You seem unconcerned about video performance which just makes you feel like you’re hearing this from a normal guys perspective. I’ve honestly gotten pretty jealous of how you just title videos the stupidest things sometimes which is hilarious, but I’m like “how the hell does he just call a video that??? And it WORKS!” It’s not like you can’t choose later, but for now though, glad you are prioritizing you and your family’s well-being. Trust me, KZfaq full-time is rough for the mental. Wish you the best of luck with it, I know imma still be watchin anyway 🫡

I think you should slow down on the youtube, theres not enough positive minds in the schooling system, either way, you have my support Mr Owen. great content, great guy

Do not quit teaching, that's a real job, healthy job. KZfaq is sick and is notorious to bankrupt or ban content creators when they less expected for some who knows what dumb reasons.

I'd say keep the uploads at a frequency that is feasible and still fun for you. Your videos provide a great deal of value to all of us and we'll take them as they come! Unsure how long you have taught, and at which grade levels, but my spouse is in elementary education and it takes SO much outta her. I think you are still in a great spot to keep the channel fun for you as you continue to gain subs. Best of luck to you, Daniel!

This video is literally why you "shouldn't" quit teaching. In the vast majority of the YT videos I've seen from you, you don't just "spread" information; you actually "teach" something. You want people to listen to it, to and understand it. Where it came from, how you got it, why it is important. Not just a "here's info I've pulled out of somewhere, I'm right, everyone else is wrong, sub to me!". We need more of you in the tech YT space.

KZfaqr and Teacher here. Don't quit. You have more power as none can become the master of you.

My favorite part about your channel is the lower production quality and straight forward attitude. You have a gift for teaching and that clearly shows in both your career and your channel! I think you're making the right choice.

I'm a subscriber, but a casual visitor of your channel. What keeps me coming back is your honesty and a great work ethic. I found this video on behind the scenes of work as YT influencer really interesting. Thank you, Daniel.

I'm glad everyone is saying it. I would not recommend KZfaq long-term. During my KZfaq career, I've always kept a regular 9-5. The KZfaq market is just too volatile.

As a fellow teacher whose hobbies also involve gaming and PC building, I super appreciate this and all of your videos. I’ve also been looking for some kind of social/creative outlet outside of teaching that’s related to gaming in some way, so it’s helpful to hear an honest take on your experience with this. Your videos also helped me narrow down my relatively recent GPU purchase, and I’ve appreciated how down-to-earth your content is. Hope you find a good balance and keep doing what makes you happy.

Do what you are more passionate for! I've been a member since you've had a few thousand subscribers. Do you wanna follow tech and share your passion to others, or do you want to be teaching the next generation? Your content has been incredibly consistent, and the fact that your quality hasn't changed much since you started just tells about how great your quality was to begin with! You can also do something like go down to substitute teaching or do things like community tech workshops where you can teach people about tech. You can keep teaching in spiritual form too, you don't have to just drop it. Either way you choose, I'd imagine most of us will definitely be behind you. We're not here for the channel, we're here for you!

Thanks so much for what you do! You help so many people in this community and I hope you find joy in this endeavor and keep that for as long as you do this.

I really appreciate you making this video! It's so good to have the perspective of someone weighing these things out, and you present your thinking so clearly. Much appreciated. :)

Teachers are the salt of the earth, please continue to teach, you guys are heroes IMHO

Daniel well support you either way. GamersNexus and Hardware Unboxed have both talked about the slow tech stuff right now. I think the thing most of us like about your videos is that you're very real and feel that we relate more to you than Steve from GamersNexus or Steve from Hardware Unboxed because they have such a professional way of doing things that it makes them a little more distance if that makes any sense.

Crazy to think its been over two years already since I started watching your vids! Congrats on the growth and truly your someone who deserves it.

Great explanation, so many kids get starry eyed over the possibility of making money on KZfaq but not everyone talks about the reality of what’s involved. Glad you made this video to give people pause for thought.

dont quit teaching, you are far more valuable in a class room than on youtube talking about shit we all already know to be blunt, its entertaining and we watch it and you earn from it but i believe you have much more to offer teaching. Good luck whatever you decide.

Don't quit teaching. It has a lot more potential in the long run.

Appreciate the honesty and insight Daniel, keep doing your thing!

I have 2 rigs and im not on the market for any pc parts rn, but i still watch your channel. Really like the content and deep dives. Thanks for sharing this with us, and we support you no matter the decision!

As much as I enjoy and find value in your videos, I'm glad that you're (currently) still choosing to both post YT videos and continue teaching. For one thing, it's clear from your demeanor in your videos that you are enjoying the current setup, as chaotic as it sometimes seems, and it's that very relaxed relationship with the 'business' of KZfaq that inspired me to become a member of your channel (rather than just a subscriber). My initial impression seems confirmed from your statements in this video, even though you did not quite say it explicitly -- turning yourself into a full-time KZfaqr would (probably, I don't know you, after all🙂) be crushing to your essential spirit. It's not that you couldn't, it just.... doesn't sound like you? at least not rn. Second, and most importantly, I would personally feel terrible as a member, for being in any part responsible for removing a good teacher from availability.There are so few, and so many students who need you (all). It's not about the math, though I'm sure that you're great at that too; it's about being one of the people being interested in creating a healthy growth environment for young people who are going to grow no matter what the environment is like. Honestly, that seems more important, and time-critical, than providing me with comparative benchmarks, much as I set store by them. Most important is that you're having fun. Because that's what shines through and enhances the value of the knowledge you're sharing. I'm sure that counts for your classroom as well, though I'll never see it. You do you, Daniel. That's what I'm here for🙂. Oh, and thanks for an illuminating glimpse into what it's like managing a growing YT channel👍🏾.

“Don’t burden your creativity with the responsibility of paying for your life. Keep your creativity free and safe.” - Elizabeth Gilbert As a fellow father of young ones, I completely agree that financial stability while maintaining the mental bandwidth to be a present parent is paramount at this stage of life. I certainly wouldn’t want to be in a position where I had to depend solely on view counts and the fickle whims of the algorithm in order to feed my family. Your channel has already grown this much without you going all-in and there will always be new GPU’s and tech to report on and test in the future, but the time that you have with your young kids as well as the minds that you inspire at school is finite..

i feel you man !!! especially the part with the effort/apreciation. i also put so much work in some videos just to not get watched even tho i think those are interresting topics 😮‍💨

Keep posting videos Daniel! You’re great. Love your videos!!!

As a fellow teacher who also actually *likes* teaching and who also has external creative outlets/streams of income, this was all so incredibly well thought-out and expressed as everything you do always is. And as a devout viewer and enjoyer of your channel, I'd only want to remind you that many of us like watching you because we like *you*, not your thumbnails or flashy titles. You remain one of the most/only sincere, genuine, down-to-earth faces in this industry and the fact that you *don't* sell out for more easy views or lucrative-yet-predatory sponsorship deals is very likely why most of us keep coming back and would happily watch you talk about "behind the scenes" stuff like this. You don't shout at us, you don't try to manipulate our feelings, you don't read from an AI-generated script - you just sit down and talk about what's on your mind like you're chatting with your friends, and that builds a relationship with your audience like nothing else will. Fully support your well-informed decision to keep this as a passion project on the side and not give it power over your life, livelihood, or mental well-being. Put yourself and your family first, always, and keep KZfaq around only as long as it serves your happiness. Appealing to the general population on the internet can be a fickle mistress... Congratulations on the incredible success over the years, and thank you for always keeping it real!

I work in a computer store, and when advising customers on what to buy I always use your videos as performance references to help them get a better idea. The reality of youtube is that short form content is always gonna be more popular, and the super in-depth videos aren’t really for everyone. I speak for myself and many others when I say that when it comes to those kind of videos, you are definitely on top. I support whatever you decide to do, but I would really miss your comparisons. :)

Great video. Thanks for the perspective on both teaching and the KZfaq creator environment.

This was a really interesting video, I've been having trouble finding your videos most this week as I mainly click through my recommended. The one video you had #1 was the only one I had pop up and watched yesterday, yet I'd much rather have seen the newer comparison. I'm not one who should give you advice, but if you wanted to focus more on KZfaq I'd recommend only taking time off rather than quitting teaching, as you said it's pretty fickle on YT and your career is stable and honestly impacts lives better. Thanks for all the great videos and doing your thing.

I love this discussion and I really appreciate you breaking down some real numbers for us. I think you make a great point about the amount of time spent versus how much you are actually getting per video. If I understand you correctly, it does seem like you don't really care for clickbait titles and I actually appreciate that! There are too many channels that fall into that problem of constantly doing clickbait stuff and not really telling me ANYTHING about what they are trying to tell me! And it is cool to see your channel growing strongly in the last few months and I know that I really enjoy the content. Found your channel in late 2022 and still watching!

You're incredibly transparant, more than the vast majority of KZfaqrs. That is partly why I watch your videos. You also for a long time viewed KZfaq as a fun hobby and somewhere to share your insights, interests and passion for PC's. The moment you view KZfaq as your job, it becomes a unhealthy workplace that forces you to think too much about metrics like views, subs, ad revenue, etc. As you have noticed, a lot of the Tech and PC KZfaqrs main drive is to sell us viewers something we often don't need. Something valuable you have and like to share with us, is your passion for teaching and your drive to inform us and teach us how to be better consumers instead of ttrying to sell us something first and make it informative second. I'm really happy that you thought about KZfaq as a job thoroughly and understood that KZfaq is not a consistent paying job and that you may have to resort to less honourable tactics like shady thumbnails and other things to increase views/ clicks, etc. Things become less genuine.

You are a great specimen of one the better human beings. Thank you for your insight, and for teaching !!

Thanks for making all of these informative videos! I appreciate your candor in explaining the ups and owns of youtube content creation and how it can impact creators from a full-time or hobby perspective. I always look forward to your videos as they have helped me to better understand PC tech and especially the cost analysis for certain hardware.

Good teachers are very, very undervalued. I'll never forget my favorite teacher, that's something that will stick with a lot of these kids forever. From the general vibe you give off and the quality of your videos, how well spoken you are, I'm sure that you are a fantastic teacher. I think you should keep teaching and think of KZfaq as a hobby that happens to be a large source of income as well. I don't see your channel slowing in growth any time soon as long as you keep doing what you're doing, even if you slowed down on how many videos you're putting out.

Love your videos but please don’t quit teaching. Would have loved to have a teacher with your demeanor and relatability

This was very educational on the world of a content creator - Thanks for sharing! Your authenticity is what got me to initially subscribe

Smart man, really appreciate the insights you shared here! This is so helpful. And massive respect to you for being able to balance YT content creation with your day job, it's not easy

Hello Daniel! I taught Physics labs back when I was a grad student, so I know the insane responsibilities that a teacher has, but I'm not downplaying what you do as a teacher! I'm pretty sure it's a lot more than what I had to handle. From watching you since the early days, I'm convinced that you are passionate about both teaching and tech. Maybe this doesn't have to be a rash decision. You could slowly sink into it. I really recommend hiring helpers at this stage in your youtube channel. It has a lot of potential, and hiring some editors and testers can really ease your burden. Cheers!

You have stability in your teaching job. Ive always gone with stability when it comes to jobs. KZfaq income should be viewed as an added bonus. Love your channel.

Thanks for this video! I appreciate your honest vulnerability as you spoke about your passion for teaching and for technology along with the ins and outs of juggling teaching, KZfaq, and home life. I'm glad you showed the creator screens and spoke about it. I found it both interesting and enlightening.

Easily one my my favorite videos youve uploaded Daniel. I love how down to earth you are here. I think with the balance of titles vs clickbait, some of the trick seems to be keeping it a bit vague. If its 7600 vs 4060 then if im not interested in those i wont click it. If its more like "whos got the better value at the low end these days" or something where its more of a conversation along with the benchmarks plus i want to find out what the answer to that question of the title is. Making titles questions has gotten me many times. Once im there i commonly go ahead and stay for at least half of it. Keep up the great work man! Mad respect for dual jobs and that desire to be a good influence to high schoolers.

I look up to you as a new middle school math teacher myself. I hope you continue inspiring young minds here or in the class, as you have for me!

Getting goosebumps by reading the comments! Your community is awesome daniel! I am also on the site dont quit teaching :)

Well said Daniel! I think this video can help others that are in a similiar situation and facing the same difficulties. I would honestly have it like you, doing both, but don't push yourself that hard in terms of getting the most performance out of the channel. Family and the work you studied for have priority.

Love your videos Daniel, and appreciate you doing so much work and research for us to make better decisions when buying parts. Having said that, definitely keep teaching if that's what you enjoy doing. A passionate teacher can change someone's life.

I have kids and a mortgage as I am sure you do. This YT money can be good but it also can be bad. You have a good job with steady income. Can’t blame you if you stick with your job. Much love and respect brother.

Back in 2022 when I first saw Daniel's video. I really like the way you talk to the viewers. Just feel like I'm a 6 or 7 year old child being taught by a teacher. And that somehow felt really nice. And all the goofy stuff you do in the videos like warring about the flashbang or shrinking yourself to point out something. Those are really down to earth. And all the contents you made,the news or the comparisons were actually what people are curious about at the time. It just felt right. One thing that immediately occurred to me after knowing that you were a high school teacher not a primary school teacher was that I can not imagine how good it feels to have a "rebellious" high schooler come to the math teacher to talk about the latest games and graphics cards. For both sides. That would be awesome. Anyways, keep up with the hard work(but not too hard). Wish you all the best.

I watch you from Portugal! And i just love your videos! Its very nice to watch you talk no matter the subject, keep up the good work👌

a great and honest insight Daniel - as a viewer, variety is key once you find a relatable and likeable uploader - glad your continuing with both !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!

Neither. Mr. Daniel Owen, im a bachelors of computer information systems. Your presentation style is top tier, never stop doing what you love. Having you as my stata teacher would have made the class a lot more fun

Just keep it a hobby. Your content is valuable because you want to do it, the presentation is relatable, and because you are treating it as a hobby. Your channel will keep growing, and you will generate more from the content as you go; no need to overthink it. Let the two activities complement each other, not compete with each other. If it all becomes too much, hire some help or bring in a partner. You are actually quite lucky to be a youtuber who has a career outside of this environment. This video was very interesting. Keep up the good work, and keep doing what makes you feel good.

Love the transparency and honesty. I have no doubt you are an awesome teacher, as regards to YT don't become a algorithm slave.

You sound like a very great person and teacher. Students need people like you. They’re very lucky to have someone willing to provide a good role model even if gratefulness isn’t reciprocated at the time. We’ve all been there, sitting down at some point in the future, going “damn I’m really thankful for that person”. Even if you never hear it to your face.

Videos should be a complementary source of income. Even if youre making more with them at the moment. To depend of youtube for making a living is...something to be wary of. And as you said yourself, the stress of have to making videos constantly and hoping for views is stressfull

As multiple other smaller creators I watch said: "only quit your day job, if youtube is *consistently* giving you more".

You're the absolute best man, lucky to have someone as genuine as you as a tech personality. Hope you find the right balance.

Wise choice! Keep teaching! Videos when you can/Want. Thank you for your videos!

Ignore KZfaq stats and the algorithm. You're a teacher. That's your career. Being a youtuber isn't a career. It's a hobby until you have 1m subs. Clickbait titles and thumbnails are a necessary evil on YT but keep the content sincere. Your viewers appreciate you for your honesty, not because we were tricked into watching you. We like that we can hear your kids playing upstairs because it's real. If you quit teaching to start adding fancy editing and graphics it would be nice but wouldn't really add anything to your substance and just add a shitload of work on you. Not to mention you have to deal with product release cycles and trying to make up content for the lulls in between. (Which we're in right now) When tech is dead, focus on your family. When you think of something interesting you want to test out that the rest of us don't have the hardware to test, test it and make a video. When new products release, then focus on those. The rough part is when you have the most time in the summer there's usually nothing happening in tech. Maybe look into mods more like you've done recently when it's a slow news cycle. Keep doing what you're doing and try not to turn it into a second job. I'll keep watching.

We will continue to watch your uploads no matter how often or not they're uploaded. Do whatever makes you happy!

Great video man! You provided very useful perspective on a really relevant topic of the modern age. This was well spoken and it gave me a lot of clarity for what balance could look like in my own life. Thank you

Good call you are keeping both. Never put all the eggs in one basket. Love your channel. It has the vibe of getting ideas from one user to another, and a very knowledgeable one at that.

Daniel, we will support any decision that you make. I have heard from other KZfaqrs that the grind can be so tough that it causes you more stress than a regular job, and you are constantly looking at your KZfaq numbers. Not wanting to go anywhere or do anything that isn't KZfaq related or you are doing videos on your vacation. If it were and I loved teaching, I would continue to do that and do KZfaq part-time as you feel like it. All money isn't good money, especially if you are too stressed to spend it. Teaching offers certain benefits, especially medical and pension plans. In this country now benefits are as important in this economy as salary. Don't let KZfaq stress you out if possible. You and your family come first. Good luck with your decision.

Just follow your passion Daniel - ignore the money, the external pressures, everything else and just *do what you love*. I will definitely say that KZfaq creator tools are manipulative as all hell, try deleting the KZfaq creator suite from your phone and creating a separate account for just browsing so you aren't tempted to flip to the creator tab. KZfaq has a bad habit of changing creativity, passion, dreams and art into "content" for just mindless consumption. Just do the things you like, the things you're passionate about, the things you care about. Your students are lucky to have you. And as long as you post here, I'll keep clicking on your vids (for whatever that's worth).

This was a great listen. Yeah man def take time but your presence on here is special.

I just want to say how much I appreciate you and your videos and just who you are. I know you are so busy and I love your videos. I found you almost a year ago. I literally watch almost every single video even if I just listen to it in the background. I love how genuine you and both jobs are lucky to have you and your family too. You always just come off as caring and real and I love your content. I hope you continue to have success and we will support you either way and tell KZfaq to be nice.

About the video evaluation: I have come to really appreciate your analysis and opinion since I subscribed. But you have to realise that some video's subject will not interest everyone. So for example I look at the title: 7600 vs 4060. These two gpus don't interest me, I saw some benchmarks and comparisons on them, I don't want to see any other. That doesn't mean that I consider that your content is not good, it's just a subject that deosn't interest me that much. Consider that you come to your classroom and announce the students that you will present a subject they don't really like. It doesn't mean the subject for that day shouldn't be taught, there are some people that may need that information, or that you are a bad teacher :)

Thank you for making a vid like this!

Very interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff that goes into being a YT creator. Also interesting to listen to your thought process on choosing whether to be a full time YToober. 10/10 video

honestly, i think we need more teachers than we do youtubers.

Never quit your full-time job to do youtube full time unless you make serious money on your channel and can retire just by doing youtube for a couple of year. You won't know if youtube is still going to exist in a few years. You will get caught with your pants off if you're only doing a bit okay (livable money) when youtube ship somehow sinks.

A really insightful look into the difference between a hobby and a business. Great video, thank you

I'm glad i found your channel, you do the best head to head GPU comparisons on this platform. Those students of yours are lucky, i would've loved to have teacher like you at that age.

Daniel, I watch you semi-regularly... All small business owners do with their businesses, what you and others are doing on the KZfaq business app. I suggest, since you have the momentum, do it. You can always get another job teaching, might be at a new school whatever I don't know how it works... There's another spike of stuff coming out, RTX 5000 series, RX 7000 is probably in 2025, CPUs will be around the corner. And if YT doesn't work out, you'll go back to school in 2025 or 2026, I'd go for it.

My humble opinion: While i watch your content sometimes, it's just for performance comparisons or maybe a bit of news, i'm not even subscribed (because i only sub to things i really don't want to miss, I keep my list in order). I don't really see a full-time career for that type of content and i'm sure you will be burnt out or disappointed in the long run because there are just so many channels out there with this kind of stuff. While i really appreciate the comparisons between GPUs and the effort but that's about it. Don't stress over it too much. I am 100% sure that it's better if you keep teaching people with your sympathetic manner rather than doubling down on youtube. Continue doing it as a hobby, keep it as it is. I can imagine the students like having you as a teacher :) There are too less good teachers out there in the world. Greetings from germany

This was very interesting. Thanks for the transparency.

For 10 minutes I'm thinking "KZfaq fulltime" then after the confession of passion for the high schoolers and understanding the value you can bring and literally changing the lives of these kids.. please don't stop teaching. Ive been those kids struggling with life and you can have a massive impact and literally build a better generation.

This is actually a great lesson on why click bait is such a big part of KZfaq. Creators feel like they have no choice. Hopefully this makes people more sympathetic to why it happens so much.

I have to say your indepth GPU comparisons and reviews helped me a lot to decide on purchasing my palit gamerock 4080 last winter which I am very happy with, with DLSS and 144hz framerate cap for my 3440x1440 monitor, undervolted and watercooled it uses just 200w in most games which is the same as my old GTX1080 so it doesn't heat up my room that much and I have the performance I wanted your videos are on a much higher technical level than many full time techtubers - not only you have a deep understanding of how things work but can also, maybe thanks to being a teacher, explain things in very clear and understandable manner also have noticed the same qualities even on your news videos covering new technologies like dlss updates etc

Total respect Daniel and i agree also i beleive your soul is that of a good person , we need good teachers , luv mate from AUS

Do less youtube. A video every week or 10 days would be lots. Especially at times where there is no new hardware. Really enjoy your channel.

Don't you dare to quite teaching, Sir! Kids are our future and it is very important to properly educate them! KZfaq is just a hobby and must be treated as such. It's unheard of for a grown man to be a full time youtuber. It's just not done. Godspeed!

just follow your heart man. but i definitely see u getting to a million subs. i love watching you and zWORMz Gaming. yall content and personalities greatly surpass the bigger creators

This must be one of the most honest videos I have ever seen on KZfaq - Thank you Daniel - You are a GREAT PERSON !

I have been watching your channel for two-ish years , but If I go a month or two without watching your videos I get unsubscribed but I still get recommended your videos, but I still keep subbing. Anyway, I think its pretty awesome how you explain the inner working of your channel and gives a pc/video card enthusiast like my self a perspective viewpoint that I didn't have about a youtube creator. Thank You.

Been a subscriber since the pandemic. Solid content, not a ton of gimmicks just good, detailed content...without the extras.🥳

I love your content! And I think I love it specifically in the ways that the algorithm might not. Yes, I click on clickbait titles too. Most people do! But when I want info I REALLY love having places to go that just give me the info! And you're one of the real ones. I hope you can find a healthy balance in your life and if it means less or even no videos then I appreciate everything you've done so far. You owe the internet NOTHING. If anything we owe you for your genuine content and personality.

Really enjoying the reasonable approach and quality you are delivering. Less testing effort while delivering the news in a reasonable cycle would get my vote. Thank you 💙

You're doing a fantastic job Daniel! Really glad you're staying on KZfaq, and I totally agree that you should have the liberty to space out your uploads like you want :) Keep up the great work!

I admire you! Hearing why you enjoy teaching, if it wasn’t for my principal constantly standing up for me and pushing me.. I don’t know that I would have ever graduated. We need more teachers such as yourself!

Daniel, you're such a great man who's making great videos and I always like to watch I wish good luck , and get enough sleep

I rarely watch long and detailed videos but I subbed here cuz you still make it entertaining in a way (kind of hard to explain but it's not hard to keep on track!) Your students can be happy that they get teached by you 😁👍

Your videos have been a nice, refreshing change from the usual benchmark charts that only test at one or two specific setting levels per game with too many CPUs or GPUs to look through in a 30-45 second timeframe, but I can also understand that testing so many settings even with only a couple CPUs or GPUs is a taxing endeavor. Ultimately, you do what is best for your overall health and living stability and should you need a break from KZfaq, we all understand; and know that you will have a healthy viewer and subscriber base to watch your videos when you do post.

Glad you're nailing the empathy arc to solidify your existing subscriber base with this heart to heart video XD On topic I think you are doing better than average and happy for your content. I think you should be able to comfortably ignore the KZfaq alarms and scale back to 2-3 videos in a week with possibly more content / more research / more time to benchmark and keep a healthier work/life/work balance.. As a parent, knowing that one of my kid's teachers is almost moonlighting as a youtube creator would personally get me concerned. I feel that you are a great teacher that went into the field as it was your vocation rather than "for the money" or other reasons. I'm sure parents are willing to accomodate but personally again feel that the kids should be the priority
