I'm a professional musician and vocal coach, I often have people say I should start a vocal coaching channel on KZbin and my answer is always the same: Why? Why should I spend years building up a channel, putting all the time and effort it requires, when I'm already making a very nice living doing what I love? All I think when I see KZbin vocal coaches is "how do you have time for this? I have 5 lessons today, another 4 tomorrow and a gig in the evening" To update an old saying: Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, become KZbinrs.

So basically, all these things he was saying were doing terrible were actually doing fine at that moment, at least when using a flawed way of measuring that essentially just meant that they had gone up over the last month.
