I have had 3 channels and none of them ever took off. Got demoralised and deleted two and the current is the longest I have had. I think its about 5 years now and my attitude is as soon as I have had enough I just disappear but NEVER delete the channel. My current channel is realistically the only reason I have worked with the BBC and been given other opportunities so I can't moan. Financially I haven't made a penny. This is the reality of YouTube.

Anyways I watched and subscribed for laptop content which I don't really need to watch now but I stuck around to show my support :)

Good luck with the new approach! It can be a grind for sure.

I'm so glad you're not quitting, Stephen! Good luck with your channel in the future, we're with you ✊

Hey brother, thanks for sharing. This was from the heart. I totally get where you are coming from and I came from a similar place. It's too much of an investment of time and energy for someone that is working a 40+ hour week and taking care of a family. That doesn't diminish the quality of what you produced one iota. It was always top notch. If you're not realizing a top notch return in exchange for the top notch product and the effort that goes into it, something has to give. You couldn't be more accurate on the amount of time and effort that goes into product reviews. In most cases the time and effort spent on the review is worth more than the value of the product being reviewed. The reality is you can end up "earning" a small fraction of the local minimum wage when you do the math. I wish you the best. You'll always be a friend of Mr. Fox.

I've learnt a lot from you and your channel. A Facebook group member recommended your channel to me and that's the reason why I bought the laptop I have. All the best with your plans for the future. I'll definitely stick and keep giving the support you deserve!! Thanks

I have always watched your laptop reviews when upgrading, good stuff! I hope things workout well for you :)

You are the only and only Youtuber who responded me back on reaching you out as common man. You are a great example for me for that and I'll always make sure to like your videos whenever they come.

I really enjoy your gaming laptop benchmarks and reviews so please don’t give up and know that there are people who appreciate what you do.

We're here! Personal advice: don't focus too much on the special effects & editing, you can also scale down on number of videos but focus on quality & content. Tech & News videos are great for sure, especially since I bought a new laptop, I didn't watch you as much, but always interested in the new tech and news. You can also look into modding/setups, how can we modify our CURRENT machines, how can we change the settings, buy maybe some extra equipment for them to improve our quality of life with what we have. Benchmark energy usage, underclocking. Lots of cool stuff to do which doesn't require too much time, effort or money. Good luck!

Your testing helped me pick my first gaming laptop...GT62vr 6re now I'm replacing it with a mech 17

Hello Stephen! About 6 years ago I bought my latest laptop. It was your reviews and info that helped me make the decision on buying a Sager gaming laptop. Its still going strong! Haven't needed a new one so haven't bought one since. When people ask me about laptops I tell them to check out your channel. I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done. I hope everything works out for you. You and your channel deserve better and I hope it comes your way. Best of luck to you.

I check your channel every week for new videos. They are very informative. Please include DPC latency checks in your tests as this is very important for music production. You could also do mini pc tests (NUC, Minisforum etc) as they are becoming more and more powerful lately.

[enyejiapono]

I'm very happy you made the right call. Winners never quit and 'quiters' never win. We will always be there to support you. Good luck in your new appproach

[Sgtmajorsir]

Appreciate knowing your history, some personal background you shared and appreciate the knowledge you provide. You are appreciated. Thank you!!

I really liked your laptop reviews. You are the reason I bought my Alienware R5 laptop.

[MicahXXIII]

Your Alienware videos were extremely helpful for me! I purchased an m16.
Ill be sticking around, glad you will be as well!

[mauriziotiso]

You were the first channel on YouTube that I subscribed to. And I bought my first major laptop after watching a few of your videos in the early days. It is kind of interesting that, of all places, I bought my first top laptop from HID Evolution that you mention in this video. From time to time I still come back to watch your videos. For me, the interviews are my favorite type of content.

[CatamaranChannel]

Keep it simple!
And don't put to much work into it, untill it takes off.

[WarneysWorld]

I decided I couldn’t fit it in for many of the same reasons! I also relate to uploading a new vid and seeing people unsubscribe. I told myself it’s probably because they made their buying decision and don’t want to see laptop content anymore, but as you say, when you’ve slaved over a video it’s not what you want to see!! Hope the new approach is easier to fit in and reaps rewards Stephen 🎉

Whatever you decide Ill be the way in Texas!!!!
