Why do you think my channel failed and what went wrong?

[@DARKDEATHKILLER]

Too much fake content and repeated content/stories. I still like your videos though.

[@KDanes]

You stopped being genuine with your audience. People didn't know what was real anymore...why would your audience stick around when you're treating them like a joke for your own amusement

[@redstonep7607]

It is not failing. It is still growing but at a slower rate. Still better than 99% of full time KZbinrs out there. Keep it up Daniel. Hope to see you keep a job, it is not easy being boss around by others. Sometimes I explode too… but think of the paychecks and suck it up

[@ajits64]

Well, to be honest, I don't think it really failed. It may be at a lower point than before or not where you'd like it to be -- but I think all the potential is still in your hands to bring it up or let it flail. You've got the subscription numbers and know-how -- obviously, because you have done it before! The potential here is huge. Maybe a little mentoring/coaching is all it would take to give you some new vision/inspiration to take it to the heights again?! Maybe..?!

Daniel once you get your drivers license you could work for DoorDash or Uber and make some money by delivering food or driving around some people.

I think what happened was when your channel blew up you attracted a specific audience that was interested in Japan so they liked your vlogs and daily life there especially with the drama. Then you left Japan but still did travel vlogs and showed your personal life so they were still interested in that. Then your content changed and you didn't make those videos anymore. So the problem was that you catered to a specific drama and Japan loving audience so when that content stopped they became less interested.

I think you just have to do something. Your channel is about you, your life and your experiences. So if you don’t do anything, there’s no content. Travel, try a new hobby, set a random goal and film while you’re trying to achieve it. Or become a gaming channel and do gaming news and Commentary… Or i don’t know.. The point is, you gotta do something.

I feel like you feel this way because you have viewers that enjoy seeing you fail in life. If you just do the things you want to do and not worry about the numbers (even though that’s easier said than done) I think you will see a shift. When your channel blew up it wasn’t planned. It just happened. That’s what you need to realize. So if you want to travel (which is the reason I personally subscribed) then I think you should do it. I enjoyed the Malaysia vlogs and if I’m honest I was bummed you had left early. Just screw the sausage fest audience you have that only care about you sleeping with girls and whatever drama. Do what you genuinely want with your channel and you will weed out all the flaky subs and start building loyal subs that actually like your content. I also agree with another comment that you have to do something because if you aren’t doing anything we have zero content from you. Continue traveling that’s my vote. My advice, good luck!

[@HKstroller]

Dunno why you went the sexist route when obviously those who enjoy his drama content enjoy it regardless of gender. Those who don’t, don’t.

[@JustKinsley]

@@HKstroller I wasn’t being sexist he did a video a while ago proving that his demographic is mostly male. Majority of his male subs only care about the videos he post degrading woman. Those are the facts. He even mentioned that he started to do it more once he realized that people only cared about him cheating on his wife and etc. So of all the good feedback I gave, you hold on tight to me saying ignore the disgusting males that encourage him degrading woman? Yeah seems like I’ve hit a nerve if that’s what u care about most in my comment. Move along thank u! Edit: oh and if you go to that video where he talks about his demographic “sausage fest” was his exact wording. So I was piggybacking off of that.

I often wonder if kissing ass would be better. Also, life in general is not easy. I suffer from depression. Dont give into the people that are adding into putting you down. Most of us are poor to middle class, not many of us are accomplished millionaires. Make a video asking your viewers what accomplishments have done.
