[@nettlescats3796]

You are good to act in a diplomatic way towards hostile people. You don't wine or complain or seem to get overly emotional when things don't go as planned. You don't act unappreciative or selfish, like the 'world owes you a living'. Your tact, patience, understanding, and overall pleasantness are what makes you such an enjoyable person to watch:) Your lack of conceit and vanity are commendable as well.

[@cynthiaabbott1945]

Very well written. 🙂

[@hirammaldonado1684]

I'm with you 100%. Although this video was made 4 yrs ago, I found it now, watched it all the way to the end, and became a follower; all without a promo or recommendation; organically, like you said. Best of luck my friend, really. God bless !.

[@Sarawkweird]

Here's what I think. I pay for every form of entertainment; Hulu, Netflix, movies, TV, CDs, etc, etc. You provide us with DAILY entertainment. Why should we expect you to do that for free? Patreon is not donation; it's payment for the entertainment you provide.

[@urimshabani646]

Adam I’m new to this I’m so glad I found this I’ve learned allot of things watching your videos traveling Thanks man.

[@MargaretFlack]

Sarawkweird agreed

[@MystiqueDaze]

agrees with Sarawkweird. :)

[@BudFuddlacker]

And how much are you paying per month to watch this KZbinr that gets paid from advertisements?

[@katieguerrero3105]

Real inspiring how you started out, sold most of your possessions and gave up your job and security. And to share all your experiences that all of us that may never get to see those things like the Route 66 trip, really enjoyed that. And thanks for being so positive on here, that’s refreshing.

[@betinasway2]

I look forward to your videos daily! Life is tough for me right now, and these videos make me laugh a little.

I am watching from Caracas, Venezuela, on my own accord, I like you and your videos and I think your content and your lifestyle are quite inspiring and positive. Thanks!

You're an inspiration to me, Adam. I currently work retail and am dreaming of living the life you lead some-day soon.

Been watching since 2012, I regret nothing!. Glad to call myself a Woo-Fan!.

[@judyoger]

Adam hello and thank you for sharing. I recently found you and have watched at least a dozen of your videos. I have been having severe health concerns over this last year and when I find someone who is well spoken, informative, and genuine I watch. You meet all those points and I just wanted to say how much you have made my days a little brighter. Thank you again.

[@adventureswithchristian6967]

I've watched this video a few times over the past few years. You do such a good job explaining your whole KZbin career. Your very inspirational!!!

[@Blazingflashover]

I’m going to be buying a couple shirts on my pay day, I support you a billion percent. The money I’m saving in traveling and seeing the same things I would want to see is well worth supporting a great guy instead. So basically I get to travel but I get to sit and relax on my couch and you get to do all the work and have all the headaches is well worth supporting you.

[@YIPMAN23]

[@BenHodgeThemeParkEndeavor]

That is too cool, I think you're doing one heck of a job Adam, just watching your videos inspires me.

[@Side-Quest-Workshop]

I've always enjoyed hearing about people's KZbin origins and how they raise enough money to do what they do. Yours is no exception. I really dig the van thing, as a part-time van dweller myself.

[@stevenbinger704]

Adam you are so down to earth I love what you do thanks for taking the time and make awesome memories for all of us to enjoy

[@logankerr8090]

this was a very Interesting video Adam. I remember when the abandoned 6 Flags video in New Orleans first came out. Heck, I remember the Joyland video also. Those bring back memories

[@Blackdawn80]

After watching this and your van vid, I have a whole new level of respect for you Adam.

[@exploringwithmrnobody8784]

Hi Adam, my name is Toby. I started to view your vlogs about two months ago. I really enjoy your channel because you do such a great job with your filming. With that being said it got me on the roll to start my own channel, "Exploring with Mr Nobody." I just started two weeks ago. I love to go and check out abandoned locations. I just want to thank you for the great job you do with all your vlogs and getting me interested on starting a channel. Your are awesome. Hope to meet you in the future.

[@Stealthschannel]

I watch your Daily woo every day. You and Justin are pretty much the only things we watch. There is nothing worth watching on National Television anymore. Thanks for all the entertainment!

[@KBSlate]

We enjoy watching you. Great personality and it shows in your videos. I stumbled on your videos around June 2016. Haven't missed one yet.

[@Trogers1212]

Adam, I love your videos. Keep filming! Add the ads. We don't mind skipping through. It's so cool to see all these places that I don't think I will ever see. Love, love, love!

[@davidcavinder8747]

Of all the videos of abandoned places and movie locations yours are among the very best!Please keep up the great work!

I enjoy your videos alot of these places some people cant afford to see but would like too. You help us escape our ordinary lives keep up the good work.

Love your story Adam. You are very watchable.

[@rhondalhedgpeth3733]

I just found you in the last few days & really enjoy your laid back, fun videos especially the back road side stops! You've been able to open up areas of our wonderful country. I enjoy the history & back stories that I would never known before.

[@matthewguerra1030]

The thing that struck me about that old video the most was that you seem to be in a much happier place now. Seems Adam the Woo's travels are good for your soul. Enjoy the road. :)

Few wholesome KZbinrs still exist (sorry if I offend anybody) and you're one of the few, that I can tell legitimately, LOVE and CARE about what they're doing. Keep up the fantastic work! :)

[@vaccumsealed]

Adam, youre much like myself. Youre not materialistic as so many folks tend to be which keeps them in debt and anchored into one place and really be free. YOU.... Adam The Woo, are the definition of living freely.

[@loveswayright]

Adam. I Love your videos and travels and your sense of humor. I have traveled and moved around all my life as well. I just seen your Oklahoma video where you revisited your old stomping grounds. It was reminiscent of many such visits I have done in my life time. Then this video came up. Live simply. I learned this after my husband passed away several years back. We were together from age 16. I often ride a long with you on your adventures wishing I too was along. As for me I say keep spreading positive vibes. Ignore the haters. You are a gem. Much Peace and Love to you who I call my friend. Thank you 🙏😉😎

[@Moigallo]

We appreciate you being you and for being as transparent as you are to share how you made the decision to live simply. P.s. that angry fellow scene took place in front of Sycamore elementary school which I attended in the early 90's. Crazy that for the past 6 or so years you lived/frequented Orange, CA, you were just blocks from me and we never bumped into each other until just this year at an Angels baseball game just down the street from this video's location. God bless you!

[@JaneyRedBrick]

Your candor here makes this my favourite video of yours. Thanks.

[@dragonmaid1360]

Adam I get to see these videos for -free and I love your work -it costs me nothing (although I have brought a shirt and will buy more) -so please continue to do what you do as your work is most valuable to me - most of us understand how this works but for those that don't -thank-you for explaining -we/they don't really need to know - how you make money out of your craft is your own business BUT ..thank you for explaining because it helps others who might feel they would like to start their own channels and helps others to understand how a small business on you tube works -so you are educating these people and while they may not always ask appropriately(sigh) , they are just curious people and like I said: most of us get it and always got it - and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your sense of adventure and your own wonderful curiosity - have faith in us too - love from a Woovian

[@johnhormaza5469]

You are AWESOME my friend I have not met yet, I really enjoy everything you do. you can tell what you do is a passion and that is great! You're one of the reasons I was inspired to start my prop business, I hope we get to do what we love for many many years!!!

[@perfectperson214]

So many people would love to travel and explore the United States but either aren’t able or don’t have the time. This is a very good idea, my last rd trip I realized how cool it is that I can google every town I pass through and get a history of tha place. Kids today don’t realize how precious that ability is. Thanks.

"Live simply" That actually strikes a cord with me .. thank you Adam for the reminder. You are awesome, I love your videos .. thank you again.

[@ronbennett6396]

Dude, you had me in tears, me and my wife. We loved road trips, always sure to get off the beaten path, to. As in : White Mountains, New Hampshire. Bear Notch Rd. Gives out on the Kancamagus. Pretty little grass glider airfield down a ways, not that far. Gliders, landing, taking off, right there in front of you, mountains in the background. Towed by nice little Super Cubs. Gliders riding the thermals over the mountains. Off the beaten path, absolutely free, great place for a cooler food lunch, YUMMO ! Great vids ! Also spent four years working outside in N Dakota.

A big cheers and 👍from Perth, Australia.

[@agm5148]

Adam, you seem like a very happy person. Too many people that make a lot of money and spend a lot of money are not happy with their lives, you one the other hand make enough to get by and do something that makes you and us viewers happy. I commend you for what you do and I hope that more of us can live happy and simple. I love your videos, keep up the great and interesting videos that you make.

Found your channel through a random comment on a Facebook post regarding the old abandoned Nickelodion building at Universal Studios FL. They were saying that "some guy named Adam Woo I think got in there and filmed it". I did a simple search and found your channel. Huge movie buff myself along with other forgotten and abandoned sites. I really admire you having the balls to chase your dream and do this full time. Great content on here, subscribed (both channels).

Funny thing. I met Rick Flair at the Charlotte, NC airport about 15 years ago. Very approachable, but a total rock star.

[@SKC193]

Andy Page My husband grew up with Goldberg & they are still friends. So while he was wrestling & every time he came back to Tulsa we always partied all night. (glad those days are over). Anyway, Over that time we met several of the wrestlers. We met Rick Flair & yes, he was as arrogant as on tv. But the one I’ll never forget was Chris Benoit. I figured the reason he never smiled on tv was just his image. But when I was introduced to him he just nodded his head. I watched him playing pool & still never saw him smile! I never really saw him have a conversation with anyone. He was a strange.

[@johnbacon1854]

Excellent vlog Adam. One of the very first films I watched from you was the Van Dwelling one. It was very good and how you got to that point really made sense. Paying off the van and living simply.............. that said, your simple way of life brings huge pleasure to me and I am sure hundreds and hundreds of others. Your always honest in your videos, and by not going down the heavy advertising route means you sacrifice a lot to be fair for our pleasure. I see others on here that earn pretty big money from KZbin. Thats fine, and sometimes the quality of the footage may be better because they buy top dollar items, but to me, I feel that you lose some of the atmosphere and passion that you bring and add to your vlogs and videos. I am so looking forward to your up coming journeys I wish you safe and happy miles in your van and keep doing what you do best.

[@durnno]

That was really interesting. Thanks for sharing Adam.

Hey Man, I really appreciate your time. Enjoy your videos Thanks

[@PumpernickelBread25]

Alex Honnold (guy who free soloed El Capitan) also lived in his van for years. Two guys who have done things of note, albeit in very different mediums. I think it is an indicator of what they are willing to give up (comfortable and conventional life) in order to pursue whatever it is they are passionate about. Also, I recently read that content creators only get money from ads if we watch for at least 30 seconds. So, for content creators that I like, I will stop skipping ads (at least until 30 seconds).

[@juniorcasemiro]

Adam, you're NOT putting ads and monetizing your videos? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Seriously! According to SocialBlade, if you were monetizing your main channel you could be earning around 5.7 THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH/68.8 THOUSAND A YEAR. I don't mind skipping an ad and that money would help you a lot travelling around and making MORE awesome videos... think about it! I don't think your main subscribers would mind skipping or even watching an ad before your video. I know I wouldn't ;)

[@gregorykennerly2321]

+Junior Casemiro Ads don't bother me one bit. I can skip them after 5 seconds, or go to the kitchen while they're playing, or - on occasion - actually watch them. If ads would benefit Adam, I'd be for monetizing the videos as this would in no way diminish the quality of the video's content.

[@Jimmy-Mc]

I think it's just the film locations he doesn't monetize, he does for the rest.

[@blessedganjah9033]

i agree 200% DO IT WOO! but what Universal did by making money off his videos is actually illegal! Adam is totally abiding by fair use!!! They wont stop until they are confronted!!

[@MidagedgamerBlogspotter]

I've fought with Universal and their flunkies UMG. They're bastards and bullies. Adam is way too kind to them. Fair use, unfortunately, is a defense not a law meaning it's only useful if you get sued. Now if you try to monetize the contested video fair use gets a lot harder to prove. However, if I did a video of a publicly accessible filming location like a mall or public street and someone like Universal tried to steal it from me I'd fight tooth and nail.

[@VLOGNOSIS]

Wait, is Universal getting ALL of his ad revenues? If so, I'm going to close all ads on his channels. I let them run because I've been thinking he was getting some monies...
