I Got Myself Into DEBT... To Buy A BROKEN PlayStation 5... But Can I Fix It And Make A Profit???

Mate, you don't have to prove to use anything. Keep making the videos. To those who said it cost you nothing to make!!! IDIOTS. Have they not been watching? You have tools to buy, machines to purchase, electricity to pay for, and the right amount of thermal paste :P So f*** those who say it is free to make the videos. I would love to see them do it for free, without all the expensive equipment you have bought with your hard earned cash. You are an inspiration. To come from Universal Credit/ESA to doing what you do now has to be applauded. You are now able to provide to keep your family happy and also keep your business running. Never stop and please ignore the trolls on here. Well done mate. There are more of us who appreciate you than don't.

[@DannyAndDexter_9517]

First video I’ve seen a complete difference, firstly you don’t need to click bait with the content you are making, the people that enjoy watching you fix things are watching it for a reason, mainly because they are interested in it too, however clickbait won’t bring that many other viewers in because already within the first minute you’ve already stated that it’s a clickbait, usually it’s pretty evident that a video is but the main thing being that you usually have to watch the whole thing to find out, also you don’t need to explain your finances and prove to anyone that you have paid anything off, I really do enjoy watching you fix things, we don’t care how much you earn or spend or earn, just be you and do what you do best, I’m not trying to be picky but I think your videos clearly do well with the amount of support you have gained already 😎

[@TheCod3r]

I agree mate, I just thought it would make a cool title. I'm not into the whole boobs in the thumbnail click bait stuff but this was more of a test just to see what happens but I felt too guilty and had to explain things in the beginning 🤣

@@TheCod3r I know mate and I totally understand that’s how KZbin works, I watch a lot of other clickbait KZbinrs and I get why they do it when they are racking up 10 millions views plus and earning thousands per video.. I just don’t think it’s the right move for a decent genuine guy like yourself, in no way hating but was just annoyed that you felt you had to prove that you had bought it and paid for it, either way everyone watching the video knows that if you say you have bought it and paid for it and could potentially lose out if you don’t is and always has been enough to keep everyone including myself watching the whole video, however it’s nothing to do with me and you can run your page as you wish, I’ve learned so much from you and always watch every video and drop a like, sorry for the rant anyway 🤣 going on like the multimeter 😅
