Coming late better of not coming 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@JustinKonikow]

congrats man I know you will super happy for you!

[@DharmendraKuntal]

The most awaited but costly. I wish you could normalize it according to the countries. Like in India, it should not cost more than $20/month

[@chris]

Matti, you lost a lot of respect with this move. First, an overly dramatic, over-produced and overly sponsored "I'm quitting" video, followed by a $50/mo "camp" 3 days later. It all just doesn't feel authentic... rather icky scammy. It should have been just you talking to camera, with no music, no b-roll, no sponsors. Just you trying to connect to your viewers on an emotional level. Then if you say you quit... quit! Stop posting otherwise it is even less sincere. It was just... weird. You lost me man... unsubscribed.

Don’t use this app! Once you’ve logged in you ‘obviously’ have to pay if you want to see something (although it is not mentioned in the app store that there are in app purchases). Once you want to delete your account, as they have full access to your data, the app gives an error message (so unable to delete your account). Watch out!

[@JasonLorette]

Something about this sits wrong with me, “I’m done with KZbin!”…but here sign up for my new course on how to succeed on KZbin. I prefer Peter’s method of still making videos but also drawing his audience to his other projects. This just seems a bit disingenuous. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MathiasMagnusson]

You quit KZbin and that is the reason I’m not signing up. You have often said that KZbin changes constantly and to know what works now you have to constantly be publishing. Thus, your own recommendation has to be to not follow someone who has left KZbin.

[@alexanderlazare8484]

I have followed this channel since 2017, but am losing so much respect for Matti. I used to think he wanted to help his audience, now I have realised that we are just customers and he wants to bleed out as much money from us as he can. Especially since he has 'quit KZbin'.

KZbin made click baiting (lying) a huge part of becoming a big creator who gets pushed. Definitely not happy with how Matti handled this. It was deceptive but like he said in this video, he already made it. He's in a solid financial place to make these kind of moves and not give two craps about the audience that helped him get there.

The optics of releasing a subscription based "community" right after saying he doesny know what he's going to do next, is terrible.

[@jeremyroenick2202]

This guy is the least reliable Finn on this planet

Sadly, 50 bucks/mo is really hard to deal for non-firstworld-people

[@madmaxdelta]

KZbin is a lottery 90% of the time. The other 9% is from working with creators who've already made it on the platform. Case in point, Peter McKinnion, Casey Neistate, etc; I became aware solely of Matti because of Peter. I became aware of Peter soley because of Casey. Casey was friends with the higher ups at YT from working in the Entertainment industry, so I'm conflicted on whether he made it on his own or with their help. And countless others post 2017. And then 1% who figure out the algorithm is about lying with clickbait. Another great example. I have several friends who've gone over several hundred thousands subs, but there normal videos see maybe 50 views. One more great example, when YT changed everything in 2017 for kids, anyone who ran a kids channel was put in the grave, yet, Shonduras made his kids the center of his channel and a new channel and it boomed. So that tells me something isn't right. Don't get me wrong, I love every single person I named, just stating facts. KZbin became about Corporations and Mainstream media. Really sucks what it has become today. Just my personal experiences and opinions.

[@seanmartinflix]

Those would've been some good examples for the video I made about it. It has a little less than 150 views...

[@madmaxdelta]

@@seanmartinflix you’re one view closer to 150 now. Good video

[@VegardThefilmmaker]

i have made videos i spent weeks on before to no avail. But i've given up making those videos because it does not get views

[@AnthonyRodriguezz]

It’s definitely not a lottery… if your content is not engaging and you’re not a good marketer, your videos probably won’t do well. People who are “big” on KZbin didn’t get there by accident. It was definitely strategic 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ckdesignlab]

I thought you quit KZbin 5 months ago? How many more times are you gonna quit or are you just milking it now? I'm sorry you are leaving, but are you actually leaving?

[@FrostByte_AC]

I hope there is some emphasis in this program that whether you like it or not, luck plays a (sometimes huge) factor in your success and even if you have the formula down to a science, there is a chance you still won't "make it". Working hard is one piece of the pie but catching a break is another. For example, knowing someone like Peter McKinnon helps an unfathomable amount to grow a channel and I don't know if that's something you can teach. Hopefully for $50/mon there is some tangible return on investment for creators.

[@NorCal-yeti]

That is well said.

[@JayDyontale]

Definitely something that should be repeatedly said.

[@PadawanPreacher]

"I'm quitting KZbin because it sucks the life out of me"..... "also, buy this thing I made on how to become a KZbinr" Milk it if you can, I reckon. Sheeesh. When a KZbin channel goes from becoming a fun place to be to nothing but a marketplace.

[@MaikKleinert]

I thought this to but its a mentoring so its then cheap. So worth as there will help you and be there for you.

[@DickGently]

@@MaikKleinertMentoring is a reciprocal relationship. Paid subscription for educational videos is not as personal as an actual mentorship. Call it coaching maybe. $50 a month? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not for everybody but that’s fine. Lots of people pay a lot more than that to work with an online trainer for diet and exercise.

What is it that you provide that makes 50 dollar per month right? I could say that this sort of thing is trending, content creators selling courses for the price of 10 coffees a month. We have Peter Lindgrens course, we have FullTime Filmmaker with Parker Walbeck with his courses (he sold the company to Landon BTW) and heck of loads more. What is your unique selling point? Is this course based around how you can make success living in and around Scandinavia? Or is it a course focused for those who live mostly in USA? - I would say that when it comes to brand deals alone, the difference is huge from a small place in Norway or Finland, too a small place in USA. Would love your points on this Matti, been following you long before you crossed the first 30K.
