An honest look at my first year on YouTube

[@murtadha96]

Your keyboard videos are actually among the best I've seen on KZbin. Very detailed, and very high quality.

[@Olfan]

I second this statement. Especially for someone who buys these not for fashion but to alleviate pain there are lots of helpful bits in there.

[@ekimeno3061]

"You don't need any special powers or abilities" and you explaining all of that was really helpful and I really appreciate you saying that. It makes me feel more capable of accomplishing things I have been doubting my ability to do. I appreciate you and your videos

[@Olfan]

@10:30 in this section you pretty much describe the problem public schools have. Getting people to learn something is hard, and no matter how good you are you won't make everyone get it. Still, if you're good there will be those who appreciate you and your work - focus on those voices, that's what keeps other teachers going, too.

[@KuzyoYaroslav]

Watched your keyboard videos several times trying to decide which one to pick😅. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@lel7531]

Congratulations! Let's make 2024 even better! Not a fan of keyboards tho

[@internethistory6957]

i randomly found you (was earching neovim related videos). i love your dedication man. keep struggling. one day you will be where you are supposed to be.

[@mediaagogo]

Keep up the self growth! 🎉 Thank you for the transparency!

[@a_blaser]

I found your channel from your Moonlander video, but I’m here for all of it. Way to push through your first year!

[@SamiullahKhan]

Your videos reaffirmed my decision on buying glove80, my rsi is mostly, thats how your content impacted me, thats just the beginning of your journey 😊

[@ColoradoFishing]

I've been looking at the Glove80 for a bit but I just haven't pulled the trigger yet (I think that's how I found your channel). Still using a regular staggered board. I tend to have some neck pain as well as my right pinky/ring/wrist will go numb if I type on anything but a Microsoft Sculpt. Wondering if you are still using the Glove80 as your daily driver, or if you have gone back to ZSA or ...moved on again? I'm not someone that changes a lot, once I find something that works and ensures I can do my job, I stick with it. The columnar layout intrigues me but..I do a lot of mouse activity still so I'm not really sure if it will buy me much over a staggered sculpt. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Glove now that it's been a bit of time, and if your RSI is still good? I've been digging your channel as a fellow software guy myself, great work!

[@gbarkhatov]

You're doing it great mate. Now let's build Corne keyboard :)

[@ervinpm]

Corne! Corne! Corne!!!

[@gadzbi123]

I think you are the person that i want to be based on if i ever consider to be a youtuber/streamer. I find you videos very helpful and i hope you will make content same as you did erlier.

[@ShuShuNu]

I subbed for your keyboard stuff, but also enjoy all the things dev you talk about :) If I can give some (uneducated) feedback, you have a great presentation style but I find the overuse of cuts to be jarring in videos. I bet it's hard to do things in longer unedited chunks!

[@earthling_parth]

Hey, I love your keyboard videos but would also appreciate some IT concepts videos like older videos you have. Thank you for your hard work ❤

[@tokimaheryramarozaka2116]

I actually can relate to everything you've talked about in this video, being a very amateur-ish youtuber myself, I was planning on making funny tutorial videos, but they are time-consuming, and for some reason, my typing videos on split mechanical keyboards seems more successful. Looking forward to more content, subbed !

[@NikolaTubeNikolov]

Thanks for sharing this! My channel is 10 years old and finally last year I made it to the first 4k hours in a year required for the YTPP. I immediately applied and Boom "Rejected". No reason. Can't ask, don't know and they won't tell me. Still I plan to continue doing this for some time to see where it goes...

[@skyrunner86]

It seems the keyboard niche pushes this channel forward. That's how I found you. I dig you, I dig your sense of humor and your regular-kind-of-guy vibe. Because of you i bought glove80, but now I kind of need you to review the dygma defy😂 it's about the baseline you have. Like most of us, i find you experienced in this niché. I need a second keyboard for the office and I'd appreciate your experience here. I understand the financial burden. I understand the poor early days you had, trust me on this one. I really hope you're getting at least around 100k now from your day job, which makes you perfectly capable to help me with dygma defy thing 😅 all aside, I wish you all the best. I can see the effort you put in those videos. It feels like you're in the moment of doubt whether to even push this forward. I wish the channel blooms the way you expect. In my silly mind you're kind of the keyboard guy 😅 maybe think about talking about keyboard layouts as well, for me personally switching to glove80 is so much pain I decided to move to colemak dh along the way. Just throwing ideas here, but I get it if this is not your cup of tea.

[@skyrunner86]

BTW I just sent a dm to dygma to send you one for testing. If there will be more naggers like me, maybe it will actually happen. You're doing a great job.

[@niflheims]

Thank you for your great work and for honestly sharing your thoughts! I struggle talking in public and your experience is inspiring. Kudos and enjoy your new keyboard, looking forward to seeing it!

[@1godroad1]

Thanks for this!

[@atanas-nikolov]

I've been watching your videos for a while and found you on two separate occasions - once when searching for programming topics and nvim, and once when searching for ergo keyboards. So I'd enjoy anything, really. You're cool, keep it up and God bless!

[@sujanbasnet7868]

Wishing you a wonderful 2024. I enjoyed watching your SST series.

[@ivanmatew568]

And you can use and shoot vertical/ergonomic mouses. My RSI problem was stoped with that mouse.

[@vankram1552]

I'm quite bullish on my future - BASED

[@karesztrk]

Im interested in deep dive topics either

[@CarmenGeelhaar]

Which Keyboard are you using finally on daily base? The Voyager?

[@BigLeafDropper86]

Nice 👌🏻

[@ivanmatew568]

Dactyl?:)

[@BraxtonMeyer]

i'm surprised you've been surviving solely off youtube with a $66/month budget. hats off man

[@murtadha96]

I do like both types of content though, I don't mind the programming content.

[@willemvanduijn8464]

Love your vids! Please continue, but don’t focus on revenue too much. If money is your driver, you better start an OF 😂 (to which I definitely would subscribe 😅)

[@JonasThente-ji5xx]

foudn you through your keyboard videos

[@c-ban783]

If you still want to do deep dive videos you could try Udemy courses
