I'm so glad the algorithm gods showed me this video and Steve. Absolute perfect video. Should have 10x the subscribers honestly

This is one of the best videos on the Internet. Quality content like this is what makes the Internet so valuable. Thanks for taking time to make this for us.

I followed and watched a lot of videos as a computer science graduate. Talking about AI and building websites, videos, making money, and BS clickbait. But hey, all I can say in your video is so refreshing. This is the true meaning of genuine video that will help you to build, not pretending. I loved it.

This video makes my ADHD happy!! So good!!

Wow! Even I, from the most remote part of the world, have the opportunity to build and launch a website for free because of this video. Thumbs up!👍

Its crazy how good this video is. For a topic that isn't normally super engaging, you absolutely crush it. The editing is amazing and you do a great job with not only what you're saying, but how you say it (vocal tone, inflections, vocabulary, honesty). I bet you could make a killing of just this - how to create/edit engaging youtube videos. I'm also impressed that you talk about seo/sem and semrush. I am in digital marketing/lead gen and we use it a lot.

[CBGameDesigns]

Thanks Steve! Your website builder comparison videos really helped me get my website built! I ended up going with Wix, but I'm sometimes jealous of Squarespace's grid feature lol. I really liked how you used mall storefronts as an allegory for website design - Caleb
