Don’t change, Doug. You identified a unique rhythm that works really well. It’s fun, informative and trustworthy. Love it.

[@user-hr2zy7ct8h]

He's got 4 million subs. If you don't want him to use any of his increasing budget to improve his content that's just your fetish. Your opinion is annoying to me because there are people who understand that the exposure he gets comes at the expense of other car channels which would actually put their revenue back into their content instead of producing low budget content with a "unique rhythm that works really well". I shouldn't be concerned about your opinions and taste but when you're discouraging the most successful automotive channel from improving then I don't think it's hard to understand why I have a problem with that, considering the fact that a lot of people with 1% of his subs put more effort and budget into their videos.

[@user-hr2zy7ct8h]

@@user-ve9tu5rv6e Yeah isn't it great the most successful automotive channel on youtube is producing low budget videos? That's the point of youtube, isn't it? To make content creators able to produce the same low budget content they produced at 1000 subs while pocketing all the additional money. It's just great. You get me? I haven't met a single person in my life who could argue about this, but I've seen millions who are fine with it because they don't understand the bigger picture.

[@mr.rosenberg9047]

@@user-hr2zy7ct8h His simple format is nice because it makes it seem non corporate and personal. But I think he could improve his video quality and some color grading.

[@AmitPatel_.]

Yeah, many of us have been watching since he was writing for Jalopnik and the videos were a supplement to his articles. Even as an early KZbinr he had to rely on viewers’ cars to do video reviews. The low quality content is what we’ve come to expect. Never change Doug!

[@ericschwartz100]

I totally absolutely agree. I used to follow Matt Farrell the smoking tite on KZbin. who I used to follow had a podcast, but in my KZbin algorithms, I saw the podcast with Doug DeMuro, and I'm not watching it. It is a very long podcast but Doug DeMuro is the best car reviewer on KZbin in my opinion and that's why I'm watching it!

[@dkuchler31096]

I was at a cars and coffee in Bryn Mawr PA and someone had their Porsche Carrera GT there and I basically thanked the guy for bringing it out into the wild because I have never seen one in person. That's what I appreciate about true car enthusiasts

Thanks for the feature on our 2003 wrx! One owner with 15k miles traded in to our dealership.
