Thank you for the incredible support, I really appreciate it. Please subscribe to the backup channel! ⬇️ kzfaq.info/love/moBFsSVrmHV7aset3aUU0g

Option 1 and 2 are similar, but option 1 seems like it would be easier to make for you. So I'd say option 1, and maybe drop a higher production video like every other week or once a month. I think it'd be a mix

I like option 2. I love your Raptors Content. Keep up the Good work!

I just came across this channel when you talked about my Raps. I subbed to it. Support either way.clips or no clips.. just raw

Everyone comes to your channel to hear your take! Whatever you do, as long as your still talking about what you thought of the game, we’re going to still watch

Honestly, I'd love Option 2. I came here for listening on your opinions on the Raps and regardless if I see the same clips or not, I just came to listen, but it'd be nice to see pictures related to what you're talking about

subbed o back up channel , alwasy will show support after all the raps content ! Be well Ray ! is there really not a department at the NBA you can email and ask for permission to use old clips for your content? if not the NBA is really sleeping on podcasts... just keep giving your honest opinion , criticism , and praise of our favorite teams and we're happy =) f you youtube!

I like the idea of having a mix of option 2 & 3. So maybe less videos than now, but some of them would be option 3, so they would be higher quality.

Option 2 sounds pretty good to me, but I do think that it would be really enjoyable to watch if you did some innovative stuff like option 5, I personally would love to watch challenges and stuff like that. So at the end of the day, I think option 4 might be the best, as you can try a bunch of different stuff with it, including option 3, like you said, on the weekends or something.

Sorry to hear about the strike. There should be some kind of fair use doctrine for these kinds of things. That being said I would go for quality over quantity. Try your hybrid model with blank wall discussions of games and creative stuff as you are able. If even Steven A. Is getting boned by this you're in good company.

100k grind

Ray, you are great on everything you do!!!! I will support you on anything you do!!!! Love ❤️

Man Eff the nba for this Really enjoy your takes - keep going / no one really needs the clips - they can check it out somewhere else You could reference time of the play if you wanted to talk about certain plays

Like most others have mentioned, I come here for the information you provide (especially about the Raptors) and your take on it. As long as the information behind the content stays the same, I don’t think you need to do anything fancy. So I think option 4 is the way to go, do a little mix of talking to us and having viral-style video every once in a while. Maybe if you’re describing a play, you could draw a little “Xs and Os” diagram to accompany it on screen or play with stock photos like you said. But footage or not, it’s your current content that’s entertaining to me. As for the viral videos, I say you could make one every week or every other week so your channel has a variety of content that appeals to wider audiences and draws more subscribers. But don’t switch up to option 3’s format entirely.

Whatever option you feel will best for you! I love your takes on basketball, but I often don't watch just listen as I work or something.

I come here to hear your thoughts about the Raptors, just talking is good enough for me, but you could post some pictures etc. But your cuts and talking are fast paced enough to keep us engaged in listening.

Just to give u some awareness, KZfaq can copyright strike any video at any time. So make sure u delete or private any videos that have potentially copyrighted material so KZfaq can’t give u a second (if this happens then u can’t upload for 2-3 months), or even a third strike and terminate ur channel.

I’m okay with option 1. I only really watch your channel and Kenny For Real when it comes to Basketball but at the end of the day just do what feels right for you.

The keys are your analysis and perspectives not the supporting videos or pictures. I think it is fine for option 1 and you can use some clip arts to enrich your content to make it less boring.

Your takes are great so keep doing them! You have a great opportunity to decide what kind of content channel you want to produce going forward. For me, you don't need to feature clips when giving takes because we all seen the game anyhow and there are plenty of news channels that do that. I also find just throwing up pics and talking over them a little distracting. Focus on your set and talk right to us. It works. Back to the identity of the channel you want to showcase here, I like the hybrid idea. Those viral video types probably not only have greater longevity but I'd guess have more revenue potential and can bring way more exposure to your channel and brand over time. Could be a great way to help you grow. So I'd say start slipping more of those introspectives in but maybe just 1 or 2 max a week to start to keep the quality high but still give you some time to make maybe 1 to 3 game reaction videos a week focused on the more meaningful or exciting games. I got you on your backup channel just in-case. Take your shot man, you got something here. This might just be an opportunity in disguise that focuses you to make something even better and bigger than you originally had in mind. Good luck!

Come on NBA stop being so triggered over unimportant things like people using a bit of game footage SMH

Your presence, your voice and your opinion is probably what drags in the most viewers. Do the opinion thing and post a few stills and it will still be great. Rock on!

Ay man whatever u doin I am with u

First of all , I am sorry that you got a copyright strike. Sure the NBA or other company should be focusing in other matters. Anyway I think , you should go for a mixture in between 2 and 4. I know the option 4 is very challenging, as it would require a lot of work from you, but It would definitely make the whole channel more fun and entertaining. You could throw the odd video challenge in the park , but I think that you shouldn't get away from the content of this channel, which should be NBA related. I love your determination , to make this channel grow. To be honest I started to watch this channel, because the videos that you have made about the raptors, but now I am a huge fan of , in fact I subscribed to your two channels, today.

Honestly man if you stop making KZfaq videos, you should really try locker room. You can kind of make a couple podcast format. Record the audio and then maybe put some images on the screen from Google. The quality won’t be as great but you could still get contact out that way.

camera + gifs would be a good combo, i think it might be cool to do a good production video every once in a while but the latest nba games are fun to watch

I wish you the best, God Bless.

How is this even fair.....

Truth is vile to the corrupt.

My first time here and that really sucks I wish the NBA wouldn't be so petty but it is a business.

noooo!!

I enjoy this channel because of the information and opinions it provides. Do whatever is easiest for you so that you can keep making videos.

You can even upload the audio to Spotify or Apple Podcasts so u don’t have to worry about the copyright strikes.

What happened with a player

I think you should mix those all up

No worries....got your back

I want raptors videos 😤

youtube copyright is such a joke

Mix of options 2 and 3. If it gets bad do option 1 and 3

Broo they came to copyright-lynch you because you spoke about the Raptors getting cheated & suspiciously handicapped allllll the time, ong 😭😭 Your 3 plans should be 1 plan, do bits of all of them

Hey man, if u want I can send u some clips. On my free time I make random highlights I would love to help.

Ray personally for me do whatever u want, I’m fine by any

This may be a dumb question but how does Flight Reacts get to show full game highlights?

I like your shoot from the hip commentary. I am a big Raptors fan. Do what it takes to stay legal and alive.

Do some of all the options! Why not?

Nooooooo KZfaq’s been doing that lately

Undeserving

3 will be good for your channel but you should do 2 once in a while

Option 1 sounds to be the best! I really think you know what you’re talking about and I don’t like Lebron but I like listening to your comments!

Ray I have been with you since the bigging Jus did not have an account. Any advice to get me some subs?

You recording about the Raptors getting fucking snaked right now? 😭🇨🇦

Who ?

Option 2: Keep your production. Still images; picture in picture.

I am fine with #1.... seeing the same practice video of Fred VanVleet over and over was getting a little old and that's coming from a Raptors fan, lol.

Nah why...

Talking is just fine to me. I follow a few other nba youtubers who do just that and I still watch their videos.

So old ray talk videos and pretty boy fredo kinda lol or flight

Any is fine, forth preferred, mixing 2 options might just be creative. Great job Ray

I will go with option 2

The 4th option.

The NBA is foolish, don't they realize that this promotes the game?!...Smh I especially enjoy your refreshing take on the Raptors. Number 2,3

Give your take

Who the big channel btw

as long as its basketball il watch it

Done.

U could play 2k in the background while u talk

Elijah’s idea would hurt your wallet

I’m fine with option 1

Don't use game footage. Just players walking around during stoppages in play or in the tunnels or in warm up.

Any is fine

lol 💀

thats tough, considering you have a good commentary on games/players , just talk in front of camera and throw up like tweets. Also returning to the Newman type videos would be cool. Diversify content and see what viewers like

I like option 4

The primary reason I watch your videos is to get news and analysis of recent games, and for that purpose option 1 or 2 would be best suited. That said, thinking about the long-term growth and success of your channel, devoting time into production values and script-writing to produce video essays (i.e. option 3) is the way to go. I'd still be very interested in watching that kind of video from you. Option 4 doesn't interest me at all, and no disrespect meant but if you pivot to that kind of content I would unsubscribe.

QUALITY>QUANTITY

Mix it up, Ray. I actually prefer you over some other KZfaqrs. FlightMike was guilty of misleading titles which led me to unsub from him. I love to see relevant clips in videos but if it costs you strikes and money, I understand. It's too bad the NBA is that greedy they can't allow smaller specialized content creators fair use. I am a Raptor fan so I have greatly appreciated the love. Hope it works out.

Have you tried asking the NBA for permission to use their clips?

Bring back the shoes!!!!

Bro it's so hard to be a youtuber these days🤦🏽‍♂️

Option 2!!

KZfaq doesn’t want to see you win. 😔

nooooo

Number 2 the best

I would like a hundred cash💯

i think raptors will upset 76ers i think they will be playoffs can do a video on raptors schedule predictions like how many wins will they get.

1 or 2 and subbed to new channel

I just found this guy

Option 2

Mental days off help

The NBA hates your channel like they hate the raptors, so many other channels post nba clips! That's not fair at all

they on you cause you call them out for the leagues Raptors BS.. !! keep ya head up

i like 2

Option 2 is my first choice, than option 1. Dude if your commentary is on point visuals won't matter because the content will create discussion/comments. There are 2 certainties in the NBA world. 1. NBA will do anything to make money and stop the little guy and 2. The Toronto Raptors will get robbed of games by free throws given to the opposing team. Tonight it was Utah's turn🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

sorry bro! This might help u out but there is a channel called "Kenny for real" and he has great NBA content but he uses no NBA clips idk might help. do whatever u think all support!

Option 2 ....option 4 - podcasts/videos with other KZfaqrs on big games of the week

I think you need to stick with the nba footage and highlights especially with playoffs coming

Don’t do those Newman’s videos those are for kids lol and kinda weird

Fake option 1 lol

Man, KZfaq really hates small channels. Mike korzemba uses highlights all the time and he’s never had to make a video like this.

Yes, straight talk works. Check out Kenny for Real. He's got a huge following. I don't think he uses video footage. Good luck.
