Not trying to be rude. But personally I was always here for the fun thoughtout projects. The recent many months of more and more "clowny" content isn't to my taste, although I understand it might gain views. Post Will videos seems to have brought a bit more serious tone. But a campingtrip in an old Vette with a gas-can and axe zip-tied to it, however fun, is not what i originally followed Grindhard Plumbing Co to Watch.... I understand you gotta do your thing. Just letting you know my personal opinion and point of view.
