The Future of This Channel

[@MarkEMiller]

It’s hard to communicate how grateful I feel towards this community. We’ve built something very special over the years and I appreciate every single one of you. If you’ve watched this video you know that I'm not breaking up with you guys.. more like renewing our vows lol. I’ve been opening up more with you guys this year and it seems like the right direction to take this channel. The one thing KZbin does better than any other platform is create a sense of connection. Something we ALL need. To feel connected is to feel ALIVE and LOVED. Things to expect more of on this channel: discussing queer films / art, my usual mini docs / interviews, mental health check-ins, and if you have an idea for a video I encourage you to leave it below or upvote the ones you wish to see discussed on this channel. With love Mark

[@nsfsanchez]

I love you Mark so much, thank you for being so honest and creative. I feel like I’ve grown up with you haha, I found your channel when I was 14 and now I’m 22! still here supporting you 🤍

[@nofirstorlast8405]

Mark, have u seen "Maurice" yet? In 1987, it was groundbreaking. You will enjoy! Watch & discuss, please.

[@nofirstorlast8405]

Mark, Olive probably musses up your bed because she wants to SMELL you, and your smell is on your bedding. That & maybe she's nesting, too.

[@randympls]

Sooo, I Clicked my KZbin app notification for this video by accident (yes, accident…..) but thankful I did. I don’t watch your videos as much as I should. You know, life and adulting and stuff! Ha. Your content and authenticity are uplifting. I’ll be back, and I promise it will be sooner this time! 😉

[@hartthrob13]

For so many years, you’ve felt (weirdly) like a friend. So excited for the future of this community, and so grateful to see this message today. We love you, man.

[@jamiescott5461]

I’ve watched from beginning. You’ve matured to a great man. You have a beautiful, loving soul! Lots of love ❤️🌈

This is what I needed today. Thanks Mark for staying with us and for your positivity. You are inspiration, dude! Much love

[@stevec404]

I have learned to be (almost) 100% open...with myself for starters, and with others. It has made me more attractive as a friend. People love openness. Friends who are 'closed' can never be as deeply ours as we would wish.

[@lewishuff0911]

Happy Birthday Olive! ❤️ Mark, I have to tell you that I recommend your channel often. As a Paramedic, I deal with allot of youth who are fighting battles with their sexuality and being accepted for who they are. It surprises many of them that a straight guy with a family and 20 year marriage is recommending your channel, but I believe we can all do are part to breed acceptance and love in this crazy world.

[@julian3240]

I'm excited! I love your channel, and I've been following you throughout your time on KZbin

[@ev007-m8p]

Jesus, I was scared when I saw the title 🤣 I’m happy that you’re staying with us, looking forward to watching all those videos which you’ll make in the future. Super excited! You’re brightening my Sundays! On another note it was so fun when you said you have two pairs of pants on, language difference between British and American English makes things fun. 🤣🤣🤣 Love E xxx

[@joseortuzar4971]

🧡🧡 thanks for the hats and note 🧡🧡 meant a lot, Will always be supporting your artistic endeavors!!

[@miguelectricity]

I love the warmth and love on your channel. I much prefer it over the other kinds of petty coldness in other places

[@thesilverdragon1963]

I’m sooooooo excited to see what you will build on here going forward, Mark. Listening to you grow and evolve (through good times and bad) over the years has been a wonderful experience, thank you for giving us so much inspiring and entertaining insight into you and your life experience. Never be hesitant to be your authentic self here!

[@jorgleiger]

Dropped everything when I read the title! So happy to hear that the future for the channel looks bright and fluffy :) I enjoyed your content this year more than any other! The Brokeback Mountain review was amazing, can't wait to see more videos go in that direction!

[@thelandb4tim]

Day one subscriber and it's safe to say, I'm excited. Your openness, sincerity and endless good vibes are a few of the (many) things that make your channel great and I know I'm looking forward to watching you/your content continue to evolve in the years to come. Keep on keepin' on, Mark 😎🤙

[@radium1977]

Put it away mush!!!

[@LukeLFN]

I am excited!

[@gerardpritchard657]

I've really enjoyed this channel over the years, Mark. I can't believe Olive is 7! I'm looking forward to what's to come ☺

[@finnrihudgens482]

One thing I know for sure is that I can always trust you coming up with great content. Can’t wait for what you have in store for this channel. ☺️

[@Nashanton]

I'm excited to see where you go. I like the concept of "over sharing". sometimes I feel like we over filter, and it ends up watering down the point of what we are actually trying to convey. It gets muddled. Birthday hugs to the pupper.

[@sharkeychristopher]

So excited! I’ve loved the content from this year, and I’d definitely agree with what you said - this is the right amount of openness and just genuine kindness. Looking forward to more videos in the new year!

[@hkp142]

This is so exicting to watch Mark's life. I'm here since... my sixteent, I think. A lot chaged from those times and I'm happy with that fact that I can always see what hapeens in his life, fell his emotions and all stuff. Thank a lot!

[@TheLandOfJonny]

Olive is 7 - wowness!! Time has flown by and yay, i'm glad we're in a healthy place :) I love what you do!

[@zachthweatt6947]

I'm so excited. I'm an older gentleman. And when I found your channel. I really enjoyed your honesty and sincerity. Because you are so much younger I kinda felt maybe I "didn't belong" here. But I enjoy you're whole outlook at life that I actually have learned maybe I am deserving to love myself as myself. I've watch many other channels older and younger. But none have the "realness and deep honestly" that you have. I'm sure others may not agree with me. But I will continue to enjoy your show. I wish you all the best in your show. And please continue to be real and honest. And most of all I would like to say simply thank you Mark.

[@dans1234]

Excited to see more videos posted interviews, podcasts, etc! It will be good to see it across a range of topics like you mentioned from lived experiences and true stories. I think a big one is living through adversity and overcoming it with coming out stories, experiences in workplace/careers from health, construction, engineering, science, service sector, etc backgrounds, in life with friends, family, etc. One note on snoozing is just to make sure you keep it to say half an hour only or what they call the 26 minute NASA sleep, scientifically proven to give you an energy boost and feel revitalised. Make sure you set a timer however as anything more will effect your sleep at night and can effect your circadian rhythm. You're welcome :) ...

[@kevinh811]

You were the first youtuber I started following in 2014 after a friend recommended you. I am excited you are going to keep the channel going and evolving.

[@hm2746]

I‘m excited. I‘m here every step of the way. Thank you, Mark for still doing what you do. It‘s crazy how you‘ve helped me over the years. ♥️

[@dennissheridan2]

I’m excited. Here for whatever you want to share with us.

[@thesands4963]

Been watching since 2016, and your channel has been such a great source of positivity. Love you Mark.

[@Drewbydrew]

The title of the video made me nervous but I ended up excited :)

[@tomholmes1350]

Love the warm relationship you share with your dad!

Happy birthday Olive ! I am watching the second season of the Witcher in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam

[@kirkris7563]

[@benjaminatic9908]

Im excited. Day one here. So happy for you and how your channels grown!! Onwards!

[@stevenjump8234]

Happy 49th Birthday Olive! Mark maybe you should do movie/tv reactions. They seem to do quite well.

[@i_am_venik]

I‘m really looking forward to what your channel will provide us. I think all your videos are excellent. They are quality content for me. Those mini Docs, Vlogs or even just you reviewing some movies are always a happy place for me. Most of your videos enrich my view on mental health and it‘s nice to see your point of views. It‘s refreshing to see some gay dude making such nice videos instead of being just another dude stripping down and giving us something to look at :P ( I don‘t want to shame those people. They are sure nice people with a wonderful Charakter but in my opinion I don’t need to see everyone naked :‘D )

[@samvoigt21]

Your audience responds to the good vibes and honesty that you give us, so it's easy for us to leave lovely comments. You're doing a really good job of making this channel a community that supports you and what you stand for. I think a lot of us (one person minimum) look to you for inspiration on how to be better/happier and you being your genuine self is what guides that. Thanks for sharing, Mark.

[@thisguydaniel7669]

Ollie is so precious hopefully she had a great birthday! I’ve been following this channel quite some time and I’m so looking forward to the future. About the mental health check ins it’d be great to talk about anxiety especially when one deals with it badly. Hope you and Ollie have a Happy Holidays!

[@GreekViP22]

Love the new ideas and cant wait to see whats next!! One of the few channels i have been following for years now and still excited about.

[@smilesam]

I just wanted to say that although your truth and authenticity is like the main reason I and others keep coming back to watch videos, your artistry and skill with film-making definitely plays a role as well. You have such a unique eye and I always appreciate the way you edit your videos. There's something about the way you share your world or your view of the world with us, that I really appreciate it. It not only looks good, but it inhabits a certain quality that definitely keeps coming back. I'm excited to hear about what's coming up with the future of this channel, but I also hope you'll continue to challenge yourself with new filmmaking/documentary challenges. You have such an eye and I can't wait to see what projects the future has in store for you.

[@MorganTN]

I'm excited!!! 7 years old. Wow I remember when she was just a pup. I guess Ive been watching for longer than I thought.

[@joemoore9066]

I have also been a subscriber from the beginning, this last year has been the best yet. Your truth comes through, keep being you!

[@coenformanek4173]

I’ve been so blessed to have hopped onto the MarkEMiller KZbin train since the start of my queer journey - thank you for always being unapologetically authentic! - I’d love to see more videos talking about existential dread / if you have it / & what you do to combat it

[@jiovanivictor3071]

Oh my god I’m so excited for what’s coming on this channel I know you are going to do great I’ve been a supporter since back in the day and you have grown so much mark i wish you nothing but the best ❤️❤️❤️

[@Markusarodriguez]

I’m so excited. Every time I get in a funk I start watching KZbin again and your videos have always been there for me!

[@pauljoshua844]

I really appreciate your mental health check-ins! It's so important to be more open about this and break down these stigmas. Thank you for sharing!! Your mindful approach is inspiring! :)

[@joewheeless1530]

I'm excited! Also, my dog Arby does the same thing to my bed. I'll be watching TV and he puts himself to bed and creates a nest out of my pillows. It's so cute so I can't get mad at it.

[@magicmattman1]

I’m excited. But really, can’t walk to see what you bring to 2022! Love ya!

[@terence9923]

I'm excited for what 2022 will bring us all. Can't wait!

[@fmanxano]

One thing that I find comfort in knowing is that you made a channel approachable to anyone. The simplicity of just sharing your truth opens up a world of perspective that not many people would believe we share. Someone, (and it can be anyone) in the future will begin their experience with you and your adventures, and it will only add to the list of experiences you love sharing the most. Thank YOU for impacting my life in a way where I can remember all the times of your channel growth. And to my personal; I’m always wishing the best

[@louisgoniva2504]

Ya dudes excited🤙(absolute sucker for those lil travel adventure vlogs and the mighty fine, sprinkled in B-roll shots from you god of a filmmaker) Keep it up broski🧡

I just wanted to say I’ve been a fan of yours for a very long time. I found you my freshman year in high school and have appreciated your cinematography since! I’m 20 now and just want to say, I appreciate you! The comments were at angel number 333 when I typed this, that’s a message for you!

[@florinhelf8408]

I’m excited!

[@jacobmoreno3030]

Mark, I love you so so much! I have been here for quite some time and never comment and what you just said about connecting more and feeling closer us is something I feel as well! You are such a source of solid ground and reminiscence, and it's something I am so grateful of. You're a key part of my life and every close to me knows the relationship I have with your channel. You've taught me so much about life, love and myself and I appreciate that out of a KZbinr! You're the only 1 marky mark! LOVE YA SEEE YA BYYYYYYEEEEE.. for now 😘
