[@TDPEquinox]

Yes, absolutely get that bag. The people who watch because we like what you do (the vast majority of us) aren't going to be turned off by having sponsors in the videos; especially knowing that it's directly helping you do the thing we love seeing. Hell, even if you were just pocketing all that cash for yourself, absolutely go for it. As long as it doesn't turn into a Heavy D situation where the whole thing is an ad, and you continue to be open and honest about it like you have been, there should be no issue with you getting paid for your work. DO IT.

[@davestevens4263]

He said it ! Not me & I agree

[@SteveoLee90]

Yeah what he said.

[@brotherbax4083]

Also agree. If sponsorships allow you to help more people, than go for it. I’ll still watch the whole video because you’re awesome. Thanks Casey!

[@IluvJoshHucherson]

100% agree with TDPEquinox, go for the big bucks.

[@want2behere]

Good morning Casey from Bangalore India. Just do what you need to do. Your subscribers will keep watching as you are honest, explain what you are doing. I personally learn a lot from you. Be safe and be blessed.

[@jakes.2544]

This is why I love Casey's channel. He tries to be as straightforward and honest as possible.

[@redc8783]

[@greggthompson7]

Dude you work hard day and night let the sponsors help you keep doing your thing.

[@user-uc9jy6zk5w]

I agree, please take the sponsors to make a living

[@beaverc2884]

One thing I know is when Casey does a sponsored video I should watch and listen because he wouldn't do it without researching the product. Because of his research his word means alot to me. 😊

[@southloven]

Came here to say similar, but I don't think I could say it better.

[@chris-h6980]

Very true. And he will even tell you if it's junk lol not too many people that's straightforward anymore

[@laughingatlife7100]

[@garyjennyfrost9485]

Amen!

[@brh72]

So true.

[@droppedonce7502]

Casey...this is your channel and you need to do what makes you satisfied at the end of the day without regret. Go for sponsored videos, plus we know you would not sponsors junk! Keep up the good videos!

We have seen how ruthless Casey is about stuff that is nothing but trash

I laughed so hard at you thanking the haters for commenting. But I'll chip in!

[@nbrowser]

While 200,000+ subscribers is impressive...I just like the entertainment value with folks like Ben and Grumpy and how hard you troll the naysayers...that's awesome.

[@brh72]

Always a great time watching the naysayers get trolled.

[@matthewmcgrew2597]

yes I look for the next video mostly for a chance to see the old red ford but like what Casey is doing

[@bobbyt2657]

What I call "The Casey and Grumpy Show"

[@zyamadeadborn1785]

​@@bobbyt2657that's actually "Casey and Grumpy do things" show. =)

[@davephillips7085]

Follow your passion. Your passion is to help as many people as possible, and if having sponsorships allow you to help more people, I say do it. The haters will always hate because they can't do what you do. Keep up the good work Casey.

[@Rey6Foot7]

I actually enjoy when you have a sponsorship, knowing you won’t share unless you would buy it yourself. And you do it in a fun way

[@williamjanik7743]

Dude, you're awesome and the world needs more people like you. If a little sponsorship helps you help others, why not. God bless

[@ockertbosch2844]

Agree

[@matthewelrod2056]

I am not apossed to sponsorships as long as you are honestly supportive of that product. And I love how you are willing to go out of your way to help people. Our society needs more people like you. I don't normally comment on anything. Hope it helps your algorithm.

[@jtizzle6682]

Casey, thanks for pulling back the KZbin curtain for us! Your subscribers will understand why they see sponsors if you choose to add them. They’ll know you’re using the revenue to help others. Full support.

[@richardraleigh6490]

Casey, I've been subscribed for a while, as I am to several other channels, but yours is the ONLY one that I consistently watch all the way through. I really like the variety, I like your attitude towards others, the way you take time with your family, and all the shenanigans with Ben and Grumpy! I started giving through Patreon to help you help others. If doing sponsored videos with help you, then go for it, I for one, will keep watching!

[@asinfysh6973]

Greetings from Australia, Casey. I started watching your 4wd winter recovery channel, as I am a 4WD enthusiast. Your generosity to stranded people by giving them free recoveries, ensured that I was eagerly watching your videos every week. Little did I know that your paying job was heavy haulage recoveries. Look, mate, you deserve to get sponsorship by those people you deem worthy, because it is your generosity in helping others for free, that sets you apart from other YT creators. I wonder how many of those who complain (” the haters”) of you doing sponsorships, would put aside their own free time, to help others, for no payment.

[@baritoneplayer2]

If some sponsorships can help you better live into your vision for your channel, I would wholeheartedly support that. As others have already pointed out, I think you've done a really nice job of establishing yourself as being authentic and giving honest opinions - having a sponsorship doesn't have to change any of that, at least in this viewer's mind. If it can help you to help more people - and even hopefully help you and your income, too! - I would have no qualms sitting through a sponsored ad.

[@jeffreyhamilton920]

The best part of you doing sponsorships is you tell it how it is good or bad

[@thomasfletcher760]

Especially the " ecoflow " products , wouldn't mind getting a couple of those myself ( power station and the small fridge )

[@loongfarang1339]

As a person who watches you on my television, I rarely comment on your videos. I really enjoy your channel. If you can make more money to help you and more people I say GO FOR IT! Diesel and gas are not free😀 and time is money. If you feel it will help better people in need I am all for it! Keep up the good work and I know you never say you are good at this but you truly care about helping people that is what make the difference! Thanks

[@paulbell1522]

Casey, I am an avid subscriber of yours, not only because of your content, but also because of what you do for other folks! You know what's in your heart. So brother follow it! Either way it won't change my mind on your videos. You are a great person, we need a ton more people like you!

[@danbrinson7137]

You know full well that you can do sponsorship without selling your soul. You have already done it. You are honest about what you sponsor. If the product is crap you tell us that it is. 😂 I absolutely loved the review on the crappy rock lights it was hilarious!!! We all know helping people is in your blood. So just do yourself. Be honest and don’t sell your soul. Let it roll.

[@wubber2chc]

Absolutely!

[@vicfanwi]

I don't care how many subscribers you have, I just like to watch your videos!! Keep up the great job!!

[@RobbieHerrera]

I became a Patreon because I believe in what you do and wanted to help in at least a small way. If sponsorship will allow you to help even more people, do it! Be picky on the sponsors you choose and use the ones that fit your program. Wishing you greater success.

[@Chris-lp3dm]

100% agree. I'm doing just $5 a month to Casey's Patreon because he does good deeds for people in need. I'm retired, haven't much myself but I can do that much. :)

[@timjr6931]

Yes, you are helping others!!! Casey, do everything you can to make more money so you your family and those you help will be happy!! This is why we watch you. ❤

[@Comil1983]

Do it! We know you are honest and trust that won't sponsor a bad company or product. We love seeing you help people and if a sponsorship means you can do that better then your real fans will support that.

[@tmoss7122]

I admire your integrity and commitment to helping people. I think you should accept sponsorships which you believe in and which make sense for your lifestyle and business.

[@timholman1246]

In order to support the community, and your generous adventures, I will leave a comment along with my customary like. I watch every one of your videos to their end. Your content warrants that type of commitment. Thank you Casey. Wishing you continued success.

[@robbygiddings8889]

Screw the hater’s!!! Do the sponsored videos so you can help people that you want. Wish more people were like you Casey.

[@Voyagersk9]

Your loyal subscribers base and paying customers are what’s driving you! Great job Casey! Keep on it! Love what your doing! Views!!

[@jamesg7371]

And more of us have to comment. ;)

[@imagseer]

200K is a flag that potential viewers or sponsors notice and if sponsorship helps your business then go for it. You're brutal with products you've tried out that disappoint, and please don't change that. Those that you allow into affiliate links will continue to get positive attention. Not so sure about weird things like energy drinks and food supplements but we can get past that with HeavyDSparks because the content is always highly entertaining and potentially dangerous. (They were messing with piping a hot spring the other day).

[@Stephen-J-in-IA]

Casey, I think I just figured out why I like watching you. Besides all of the cool stuff and all of the neat rescues your focus is right! When your focus is on others what you're doing will be just fine!

[@dillion071981]

Thank you Casey for being an amazing person and always thinking about others

[@charlesvarga7904]

Go for the sponsored videos,nothing is free, they are just to enable you to help others.

Good job

[@richieixtar5849]

Seconded!

[@danicareimschussel7310]

One of my favorite things about watching you is the fact that you help people. ABSOLUTELY you should do sponsorships to be able to continue doing what you do. You give of your time, you should make enough money to live the American dream as best as you can. 🎉 thanks for your transparency!

[@robinrapport8728]

Sponsors are a good thing. You’re putting a lot of time and effort into this for others to enjoy. Screw the naysayers.

In all , a great channel ( don't forget to smash the tar out of the like button ) . If you feel that you need to have sponsors , go for it ( it helps pay the bills ) , I'm not bothered by channels having sponsorships ( fab rats have them , and so does auto auction rebuilds ) .

Casey, get off the fence. Your honesty and transparency puts you miles ahead of most. Do what needs doing. Accomplish your mission. The world suffers from a lack of good honest people.

[@pmkstudios]

As a work smarter not harder guy the fact that you painted both hooks instead of just one (unless you have more than 2 red hooks?) kinda blew my mind. Always fun learning more YT stuff from your videos. I think we would all "watch" a sponsored video or two if you could start doing free helicopter tows. Between you and Mater I think a click and view is always happening because you both make it interesting and informative and entertaining.

[@paulnieuwkamp8067]

Painting them takes a short time. Let's be generous, 5 minutes (even though we've seen Casey paint the blue one in 45 seconds). Remembering "was the red one yellow, or was that one blue?" will keep bugging you every time you use it. I say it's time well spent.

[@jasongraham7017]

I so agree with so many on here. Let the sponsors help you do what you do. The straight forward honesty you bring to KZbin is Soo very refreshing. We’re with you on this journey and if we can be a help by several sponsors or promos so be it. We can’t all do what you do but we can all show support through our viewer ship.

I don't have a problem with sponsored videos at all and if they are a big benefit to your channel and what you are trying to accomplish I fully support it. The ad's that are not your sponsor are the ones I get tired of. Let's don't starve at the ground and kick rocks, lets step forward.

[@duanebuck193]

Casey, I think you have to choose as far as the sponsors goes. I can see some of them may be an enhancement to your channel and not annoy people, but it's a very fine line. I sponsor you on Patreon because I wholly believe in what you are doing with it and the direction that you are wanting to take it in, but you have to be honest in your goals and not try to overdo yourself in that arena. I also love the free rescues that you do, but I also understand the fine line balancing act that you have to maintain in order to do those recoveries. In the end, it's your channel - you do what is necessary to provide for your family, and I'm sure we will still be here watching you.

[@johnkirby6547]

I watch for your interactions with everything. Insightful, interesting, and even educational. Doing an integrated sponsor piece in each video isn't a problem. The problem would be if you went outside your scope to hawk something. As long as you keep giving us your unpolished opinion of stuff and not 'this is great, buy it, they sponsor this channel' crap I occasionally see on the channels I watch (I have unsubscribed to most that do) most of us will stick with you. We know you want to help people. We get it. We support you. Give it a whirl and ask for feedback. The haters will add comments driving revenue even higher. 🙂
