[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

My favorite videos of yours are on the inflation of a country. I’m glad you pointed out that you have a goal to do more of those videos. I hope you part of the video discusses in more detail the history that lead up the inflation as well as how it effects the normal person in that country.

[@Expatemirati]

Uptin, I really can’t explain you how happy I was to find your channel. Your contents specially when you talk about Money, inflation and economy were the ones that I found really cool and subscribed your channel for. Please make more of those videos as well. Keep up the great work. I am someone who really wishes you and your channel growth and success.. Thank you for making the youtube such a wonderful place.

[@uptin]

thanks so much. such a nice comment!! :)

Greetings from Hong Kong. Just want to say I like your presentation style: concise & clear. I first watched your video about big tech companies in China back when you were at cnbc. I love it. Whatever you're doing & going for next, good luck and keep going.

[@uptin]

Thanks so much Gabrielle !!

[@marcxie]

I followed you since your CNBC days, and I've been really enjoying the way you tell different startup stories back then. Now I'm also enjoying all the new content you're making. Thank you for all the hard work!

[@samuelndara]

Most underrated travel KZbinr. No one does it like Uptin

[@kudzaishangwa5024]

Your work on CNBC brought me here. Thank you Uptin for the informative videos , learning a lot. Keep on posting ,wish you great success ahead !

[@uptin]

Thank you so much Kudzai!

[@ericguzman5637]

I really enjoy watching your videos Uptin, especially interviews, you have such a positive attitude which transmit to the public. You might explore climate change topics, considering you've lived in Asian countries, it's usually addressed only how European are tackling with it.

[@zahirkhan7631]

May you have more success in Life ❤️❤️

[@soghepardo]

Thank you 🙏 so much for your honesty and for your transparency ❤

[@jaciefaithl93]

Hi Uptin! I’ve been watching your videos since your CNBC days. Your growth is visible and I’m proud of the progress you’ve made. I enjoy your videos in your solo channel and I know you’ll only get better! You got this 🦾

[@DjD22]

[@AimbyFrame]

Don't mind me, just patiently waiting for the "1 Million Subs" video.

[@manman464]

Congrats I am really happy for you, keep it up ✌🏼❤️

[@jimmylie447]

[@sonuroy879]

I remember just coming across 1 of ur videos 1 day & i didn't know that your content & it's quality would be so gud. I hope that you could travel India & Bangladesh to cover stories from there. Keep up the great work mate.

[@dominicpelosi6591]

Congratulations

[@mightypancakes]

I remember first watching your video cause I was trying to understand inflation as a year 1 University student and wow I am now in y3! Remember being very happy when my teacher played your video in class too! keep doing you!!❤

[@harshsparikh]

I have watched you for years, and when I started watching your videos on KZbin, I was like what is he doing on KZbin. And finally you told your story. You seriously deserve a lot more and your story is inspiring. All the best, Uptin.

[@andrepapa3352]

I was thinking the same - did not know his story but knew he was a GREAT Story Teller

[@rafaelpaulinoferreira8591]

Congrats! It's been nice to follow your journey on KZbin! Thanks for giving us such good content!

[@axelkok4559]

You are doing great!

[@jk484]

Congrats on the journey! Especially since you've somehow managed it without sponsorships

[@alexmacgregor]

Well done Uptin!

[@thierrybrouland6247]

[@logosgenius5553]

[@murasakiakaao5767]

I like your storytelling and your voice very much. That is why I watch your youtube and subscribing.

[@MarissatheXplorer]

Very insightful! Congratulations

[@Voiceofvoiceless33]

[@agabaphilbert113]

[@traveltheworld6685]

Always love watching your videos from CNBC. Are you hiring any asisstants?

[@stephaniehale946]

*Can't believe CNBC let you go during the pandemic. Oh well, it's their loss. All the very best, Uptin. Keep up with the great work. Have been your fan since your CNBC days.*

❤

[@youngbeliz6177]

Keep going ! Great content

[@kowsarkhan7239]

one of your earliest subscribers because saw you on CNBC plus you know my friend in Reno haha

[@amirali-bn2rv]

دمت گرم تبریک فراوان امیدوارم دویست هزاری ببینمت🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

[@Rockerzbd]

I thought you left CNBC to become youtuber lol...good luck

[@TaKiDaily]

Really high quality video

[@isakxiirey4213]

I believe you really good for storytelling and I never subscribe your channel because I think there is only 2 channels I subscribe but I was watching your videos while you are working cnbc and but tonight I am officially your subscriber and thank for your time.

[@maddwhissp7092]

Where are u from? Iran?

[@ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh123]

He's Iranian American but for a while I assumed he was Indian until some video he talked about his Iranian family.

[@travelhacksbynick]

Ypur travel videos are cool. Keep it up

[@morestuff64058]

Congrats. I supported you and watched your videos before you even reached 100k. You were showing us the real sides of countries that were destroyed by Western Propaganda. You go to countries that are destroyed by the west and show the true side. You go to them first before even judging them. And because of that You earned many subscribers and I'm one of them

[@darshie1986]

Great work uptin. How did you find a good video editor?

[@alireza_adventure]

Congrats

[@J20K527]

All the best..like your content from CNBC days

[@orangeloaf]

i dont care, i love how you presented your whatever your video talk about.. keep going.. 😁👍👍

[@RealLukifer]

Good job!

[@sensible202]

Please prove me wrong. I don't think you have the "it" factor. Subscribers will still trickle in very slowly. I enjoy your pleasant personality. Keep going if you can. Thanks

[@uptin]

You want more personality in my videos?

[@sensible202]

@Uptin Not more personality, someone the audience can connect with. More like a friend and less like news reporting.

[@saeidhsn4188]

Great, تبریک میگم, you're doing well, keep continue

[@nickzhang284]

enjoy your videos always.

[@ambercarlson2389]

I just watched this video and have a couple thoughts, Uptin: I think the brief videos are actually one of the keys to your success. You mentioned having a goal of making them longer. I used to watch Peter Santenello more until I found your videos. Peter is a lot like you: a traveller / video maker / entrepreneur / KZbinr. I still like what he does. But his videos can run over half an hour long. As a young Gen-X / old millennial, I don't have the attention span for that. I like how you break yours up into manageable "chapters", even within the same country you're visiting, which allows us to reach a good stopping point in a timely manner when they are so many other things vying for our attention. We can continue when we're ready by clicking the next video. On another note -- I wonder if the climb in KZbin subscribers might have something to do with the popularity of smart TVs. For example, we just replaced our old TV with a new smart TV. It comes equipped with the KZbin app automatically installed. I always used to watch you on Facebook. But once we got the TV, I had my husband subscribe to you on KZbin in order to more easily watch your videos on there together. Anyways, you have a natural talent, genuine curiosity, and a likeable personality so you are sure to go far no matter what you do. Keep up the great work. Best regards - Amber in Orange County, CA

[@miladvafaei486]

You are on of a kind

[@kannans5480]

Love your content

[@golamwajed]

Congratulation 😍😍

[@Jeffreykimkk]

Followed you since cnbc!

[@Von199X]

Yeah I first saw you at that Huawei vid

[@shabes933]

I am one your first 50 subscribers 😇 yup and your videos have improved alot

[@uptin]

Wowwwwww thanks so much for your support

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

You have 800k subscribers on Facebook (600k tiktok) but only 100k on KZbin? How? I didn’t realize Facebook can have more subscribers to this type of content.

[@uptin]

I think my videos do really well with the scrolling types of audiences. Especially when I make them 2-4 minutes short, informative

[@Homer-OJ-Simpson]

@@uptin makes sense. Most of your early videos are 2-4 min. Only in the past 8-12 months so I notice consistently more videos over 6 min and several over 10min. I don’t know how long videos are on tiktok but I know on Facebook most videos shared by my friends are under 3 min. KZbin does appear to be better suited for longer more engaging content with Tiktok the complete opposite with scrolling for under 1 min video and Facebook in between. I use mostly Instagram for my short video content.

[@RamMohammadJosephKaur]

How do your friends/family react when you tell them you are a youtuber/tik toker?

[@uptin]

Well at first they were skeptic but now they see the momentum and are proud and encouraging

[@abdi9692]

Congrats bro! Your journey is inspiring.

[@reitaganaa5778]

I love to watch your videos I hope someday you will visit my home country which is Mongolia with 50$ budget😅 a day😅 One day I would watch that video 🤞🏻

[@phuchoangng93]

Can i ask what kind of camera that you use to make your videos. Thank you
