all my plans failed /UNCUT #4

UNCUT #4
With a long mid-season break coming very soon, I felt the need to tell a bit of how I failed on delivering season 3 as planned. Sometimes this sidegig is just a bit much, and with the quality I aim for it doesn't take much to throw it off-balance.

Take as much time as you need man, you make quality content and we'll come back for it. You have a unique style and once people know about you they'll come flocking in. If you can find a way to make regular uploads happen I know you'll beat the algorithm and have subscribers coming out of your ears ;) Best of luck from England :)

[@awethesound]

Exactly! Unfortunately channels with infrequent, irregular uploads grow slowly, even if they make top notch content (Bad Obsession Motorsport). At the same time, there similar channels that make it a point to put something out weekly while keeping a high level and it clearly pays in growth in the YT space (Superfast Matt).

[@amirhosseinkermani3695]

its really a shame and a wonder that your channel isn't growing, you have an amazing quality and talent in filming and production. I have found your channel roughly 3 years ago from the videos you made on converting the Porsche into a camper which I was amazed and inspired by. but you know , you have to impress the algorithm for your videos to catch on . In any ways I would rather see whatever that you're up to because of your dedication to doing things properly and as best as you can and simply you are producing quality content and I hope you keep making videos.

[@philipbechtle2828]

Life happens… you’re (visual) storytelling is very much appreciated by all the “few thousands” who watch your channel, I certainly guess! Enjoy other projects and before long, a path towards a new season will appear!

[@michaelcrum8355]

Hey David, its me Michael. About 2.5 years ago (during the Porsche build), you inspired me to build my own lifted Porsche. Now... Fast forward a little ways... I have now helped build about 20 lifted porsches. That was you man. Quite frankly youve been crucial to helping me build my own side gig around this. Big thanks and as always keep up the good work.

[@GarageBiljon]

Same here! His 924 Safari camper was my inspiration to build a Safari as well.

[@mfueelcikxe]

I‘m sure it will be worth the wait. Looking forward to the next episodes! Your channel certainly deserves more attention, it‘s a hidden gem of KZbin.

[@JorrisvdBerg]

I love your video's, it's visible the amount of effort you put in! Also it's so recognisable how you can stumble from 1 problem to another, while your putting in so much effort to finish a project car... You're doing great! keep it up!

[@petebalcomb9127]

Well I for one love your content (and your cars!). Peugeots have a habit of stealing all of your automotive mojo; they literally don’t follow any kind of logic in my humble opinion!! You’ll get there, it’ll be great and we all look forward to more.

[@FranRuiz]

Hi man! I understand you.. it happened the same to me, but don´t worry.. that´s life! sometimes you have to do other things to move forward on whatever you want, don´t loose focus and stay true to yourself, good things are commin´ !! Cheers from Andorra! PS: I started following you i think 3 years ago before i moved to Europe.. you may dissapear for a while, but people that likes your content will always be there

[@vincent4488]

We completely understand! Your channel is criminally underrated and i wish you had millions of views. I've shown it to as many people as i could but the algorithm isnt in your favor :/

[@admiralfloofz658]

Welcome to my world. Ive struggled with a Porsche 944 Turbo since 2016. Ive totaled 3000 km since then. It just never works lol, and Ive spent thousands on it.

[@anthonyconstantino1622]

Take all the time you need brother! We’ve all been there, the struggle is real but never give up. Just wish we could all fly over and give you a hand with the Peugeot!

[@ckkone]

First time I've hit the like button, great channel!

[@JethroBronner]

I really don’t understand why your channel isn’t so much bigger. But we all understand that you must take some time away, and we’ll be here when you get back.

[@simonvanpraet6543]

I did a lot of roadtrips, non of them went to plan. Some even badly but in the end it is the experience that counts.

[@harryandemilymunier3551]

Heart goes out to you mate! All it takes is one episode to catch and you’ll be on your way. I can see you have so much potential for being an ace KZbinr. Hopefully you can keep going with it in the future as ypur content is unique and your work is honest. I’d rather watch you build a car and make the same mistakes a normal person would than see someone else do it and make it look easy. An 80s Peugeot probably wasn’t the safest car to choose for a daily but you bought it because it made you feel something. That same feeling every one that’s driven a 205 GTI has felt. With the values and popularity coming back with these cars I can see you content getting a few more views maybe with the aid of an Instagram linked tiktok? Anyway you do what’s best for you mate! We will be here waiting when you get back!

[@GarageBiljon]

I love your channel, and understand your frustration. I followed you on insta first, so never saw your first season, but have been loving your 205 build. My production quality is nowhere near your standard so it makes sense that my channel grows slowly, but your quality is much better than many channels with 100k+ followers. But making money from youtube is like winning the lottery.

[@pepesipple336]

Man that sucks! But here’s a fun story… I didn’t knew ur channel until I bought a 924 turbo this spring. It was my first real car and I wanted a second one as a daily so I bought a „Peugeot 205 look“ because it’s cheap and damn cool. Now I can drive it in the winter but ist has no rust and I love it so much so that hurts:/ that being said I only wish the best for you and the nice projects u make. Bleib Gesund und behalte deinen guten Geschmack:D ich hoffe die Pause dauert nicht zu lange. - Pepp

[@samslinger16]

I found your channel a few months ago and since then I've watched your content religiously. Your style is unique, refreshing and captivating. As much as I enjoy regular uploads, if it take longer so be it. No complaints here unless you stop uploading all together. The Peugeot build has been so satisfying to watch, keep it coming! Whenever that may be

[@JooK77]

We love you David❤

[@donewhiskey]

Your videos are reaching your friends. We love to see you succeed and all that we want is the best for you. We’ll see you when we can! Take care of yourself!

[@trerock44]

take your time and stay true to yourself man!

[@stephenfisher2277]

Chin up! Take as long as you need. We will keep coming back to keep watching your cinematic beauties, no matter how long it takes.

[@gruzinas007]

If not your peugeot 205, I would not be here ❤

[@markjaffrey]

been with you since the early George episodes, and you've always been compelling to watch, and your videography on the actual road trips is always epic. Keep at it (to quote another KZbinr, George who restored a Range Rover) and good luck.

[@alexanderhuliakov6012]

Take your time

[@alejandrolorente854]

Take the time you need! Lots of support from spain. We will be here waiting!

[@gwacjules6614]

Your videos are superb: your loyal fans are here waiting for you to return.

[@pieterb2712]

Take a break to do what you have to do. Looking forward to seeing you back at it when the time comes! Cheers!

[@petermary70]

We will still be here 😉

[@Jpampyn]

Step by step... fixing, recording and editing all of them are not easy to do so don´t worry and keep going. I have to say that the 205 still looks amazing broken 😍

[@peterhabel]

Just one thing to say; when your next episode shows up in my stream I will be really excited. Love the content you are creating!

[@dirckgevers2618]

Thank you for - so much! It takes courage to face a tough situation and a big heart to show this to your fans. I have been a huge fan from the start and I will continue to be a fan. Life is not a straight line. Take all the time you need. I will be here when you return.

[@bentzedaniel]

ich freu mich drauf wenn es irgendwann weiter geht. jeder der anderer Meinung ist, hatte eventuell noch keine Projekt in dem umfang.

[@raphaelguillet5207]

Take care ! We'll be there for the next episode/season !

[@achim489]

Kritisch mit sich selbst und dann auch zu handeln belegt Größe! Aus persönlicher Erfahrung, Zeit und Erlebnisse mit der Familie insbesondere mit dem Nachwuchs haben das Potential für die hall of Fame. Papa weißt du noch,dass geht dann runter wie Öl. Danke für die schönen Momente und Entführungen.

[@ludagaz]

I was following the UNCUT series with so much interest to see if youd find the issue with the 205 and maybe like this Id be able to fix mine too. Apart, what people like to see on the internet is just circus, and for that youd need compromise your passion and "vlog" and "influence" to gain more followers, but that would just ruin the experience for us selected few. Best regards and hope youll pop up soon!

[@angrygardener2430]

I’ve really enjoyed the series man. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Take a break, earn some cash, come Up with a new story and relaunch season 3.2nd half when (an if) it makes sense. Thanks for The entertainment and the update. Cheers!

[@nicknik2361]

Normally I don’t react on KZbin but I Just wanted to say I really like your unique way of content. Sorry to hear it’s all (totally) not going to plan. Please don’t be to hears on your self. Some times it helps just to step back a bit and try to overview te situation. Last years are maybe a bit more demanding than before. P.A. Parents COVID, war and probable a some more we don’t know. With al the effect on life, health, costs, time etc You know I personally really like the fact there arent’t to many uploads. I don’t have the time to Watch it. I really like the quality. All the best finding your own way. Greetings from the Netherlands Ps maybe you can buy an old cheap toyota as a winterbeater 😅

[@Canadian_Icecube]

Your videos are top notch. There are only a few KZbinrs that produce so high quality work, and you are one of them. Perhaps do a colab with another big KZbinrs of the same « style »? Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦. Take a well deserved break and come back; we will be there.

[@fila1445]

Don't worry, take as much time as you need :) Can i ask ,whats wrong with 205 ?

[@OnlyARoadtripAway]

That‘ll be covered next week in the last episode on the Peugeot so far. ✌🏼

[@tcrenegade]

You make fantastic content with crazy production value and I love watching it, but you need to take care of yourself in the end of the day. KZbin's algorithm has changed pretty drastically in this past year and a lot of really good channels that aren't following pop culture trends are going under. If anything it actually be a good idea to take a break now rather than put videos out that will go unnoticed in the current situation.

[@cestusfr]

i would take your quality content over quantity every time. But you need to realize that ''stupid'' makes views and money, not quality. look at D.D.E (3.21M subs) VS. Davide Cironi Drive Experience (470k subs). They even started at the same time. Take all the time in the world. we will still be here, even if season 3 ends in 2034. ^___-
