Why Daniel Marsh Quit Vlogging & what's next....

[@DwaineWoolley]

This hit me hard. Vlogging is fun when it's a vlog I want to make. But being married with a kid, vlogging became a job. Something I have to do to survive. I'm not passionate about most of the videos I create and it shows in the lack of editing effort I put in. It's rare now that I make a vlog that I actually want to make. Most of the time the vlogs I want to make don't get enough views to justify the time spent researching, script writing and editing. It's why I've shifted my focus to other career opportunities such as event hosting. Anyway great talk. We started vlogging the same year so I could relate to this discussion

[@alowishusabercrombie8318]

Even the pinoy baiters arent making any money anymore, most have been found out and now forced to make other arrangements. When you think about the really bad ones, its hard to feel sorry for them. And, the Philippine government is finally catching up with them in one form or another.

[@alowishusabercrombie8318]

@@Mer-pm9kz Adsense revenue is now pretty much zero. They have mostly left but still carry on as pinoy baiters with reaction channels and attempting to incorporate pinoy into what they vlog about.

[@kulitbulilit8977]

I think you’re a great story teller Daniel. There’s depth and emotion in your voice when you narrate in your vlogs.

[@wilnonajaye6553]

I missed this duo! Please come back! A lot of people still watch Vlogs ❤

[@JoelIglesia-j7z]

Yessss!!!

[@bosonic63]

It's nice to see you both together just talking and sharing it with us, The world loves you and misses you both .

Don't over think. Your supporters just want to see you vlog

This comment.

[@GalihStone]

remember when both wil and daniel asking for "like and subscribe" and promising content in return, then after sometime both of them stop vlogging?

[@christopherturco197]

Thanks, Wil, for putting this out. This was very important to share, so viewers understand how you and Daniel have changed - your priorities, confidence level, insecurities, interests, etc. I had thought at some point (quite a while back) you would move on from the type of vlogs you did, if not from vlogging itself. When I first thought of that, you were still pretty deep into vlogging but starting to immerse yourself in self-enrichment (health & fitness, "Superhuman," etc.), but I couldn't envision when that move would occur. Then, it just sort of happened organically, and I don't think that you even knew that it was happening. I hope you and Daniel have managed to psych yourselves up enough to put out some new content, though. Both of you have always put out high quality product and that is always desired and appreciated. Whether you realize it, or care, people have come to care about both of you, because you were vulnerable enough (intentionally or not) to invite us into your lives through this medium. So, any vlogs you put out are welcome and anticipated. Note: Not wanting to be on camera is a product of not needing to be the focus of attention as you grow older, I believe. When you're younger, there's a need to be "seen," so it's important to be the focus of attention - your mentality is that the world is all about you. The thinking thankfully, is that, you're going to do great things, and the world is going to know who you are for the positive impact you're going to have. As you get older, you realize that others are just as important, or more important, regardless of how successful you've been. This is likely because you gain confidence from your life experiences and eventually don't require validation from others.

[@mikaelaa5661]

This. 🤌✨️ Genuinely what I thought, too. Definitely bitter sweet as someone who's followed these two since idk when. OG quality vloggers. ❤

[@christopherturco197]

@@mikaelaa5661 It truly is bittersweet cuz, while we may not want them to ever stop vlogging, we also want them to continue to grow and succeed in life. Peace and joy to them, and to you. ❤

[@thetotality7257]

Imho. Will vlogs start to decline, when he started vlogging tourist spots, celebrities, High end places, nothing wrong with that but Will's vlogs Soul and heart that we all loved and adored from the beginning is his interaction with the locals, the barrios, the backwater places in Philippines. Will's channel Lost it's charm and looked like the same vloggers out there. We miss the old Will that's so touching and human outside the limelight. That's why street vlogs are in demand because it's relatable and makes us viewers part of it.

[@jme5354]

Very true! I’m one of his original subscriber when he only have 15K followers. When he started vlogging those things you mentioned, he cease to be relatable.

[@ehosey2]

Wil, it is awesome to have both you and Daniel back delivering great traditional vlog content. You guys might be getting "older" as you put it but your longtime subscribers are getting "older" as well and we haven't gone anywhere.

[@KimSanMiguel]

In this age where the digital space is overly saturated with lower-quality content, discovering your old vlogs has been a breath of fresh air for me (oddly enough, I'm a new recruit XD) I’m truly enjoying binge-watching them! So looking forward to your new ones :)

[@nerizabuzadher8348]

Namiss kong manood ng ganitong mga vlogs mo, Wil. Bago sumikat ang mga sikat na vloggers ngayon ay ikaw Wil ang unang pinanood namin or finallow ng asawa ko. Actually, my husband was your follower before me. Siya ang nag-introduce sa akin ng mga vlogs mo noong 2016 or 2017 pa. Basta for me ikaw ang OG sa vlogging, Wil.

[@LeahandBlair]

I learned a lot back in the day from you guys. Mucho respect.

[@emmaslifevlog5235]

I miss this two ! And it is very nice to see Daniel . I love your vlog and look forward to watch it everyday .

[@nikkopat]

i love the old ways of your vlogging, like walking in the side streets. going to your favorite barbershop.

[@Marj23]

I'd been waiting for his vlogs..he's an artist...need a recess ..but you need to come back Daniel..

[@brandonvenzon]

Bro, we missed you! You're like one of the few quality vloggers here in the Phil, even CongTV says so. Please do more! ❤

[@SereneSong-y9n]

I feel like creators put a lot more pressure on themselves and have higher standards on the content they create so much more than what average people (the viewers) are actually expecting from you.. Reality is, your fans will always enjoy whatever you put out there. So just keep posting, your fans will always keep watching ☺️

[@Ceshua]

I've been watching you guys for a long time and I would say you guys are the first vloggers in youtube I ever watched. You are the OG before other foreigners started flocking in phils vlogging. You, kulas and daniel are the ones I always watch. then the fighter boys. good to know that you will be back vlogging! this is nostalgic

[@miguelchinnoonting492]

Dude! I spent months checking both of your accounts to when you would upload your new vlogs or podcasts! Finally! It was worth a while of watching bai without skipping. Hopefully, you could make more.

[@milhaus8]

Incredible content from my favorite OGs! Daniel, we miss your energy. Your work inspires and stands out every time. Keep uploading! Your content is always a cut above ✨

[@CaseyKaayo]

Yes! This was such a wonderful podcast to watch/listen to. There were so many great points about the ebb and flow of life and how interests change over time when it comes to editing content. As an aspiring KZbinr, I loved the wisdom you two shared about how you guys approach editing videos for KZbin. Can't wait for your guys' to come full circle back to KZbin! I'm looking forward to watching some good 'ol times again.

[@owishi23]

Your vlogs are exceptional! Educational,fun and everything u can ask for! Hopefully you two will be back!

Got surprised you uploaded a vlog. it was really a pleasant surprise to see you guys. Talked about your maturity, I agree with the observations of the other.

[@boston2662]

Daniel’s videos are so beautiful. You just get lost in his visual world. I love the video/ narration posts. He could do so many educational and historical videos with his talents. I agree with everyone here saying his cinematography skills are unworldly. But I am sure that attention to detail and the stresses that creates can take a toll on him doing it alone. We love and miss you Daniel

[@limtseho3540]

Come back Will... You set the bar so high... No one can vlog better than you!

[@micoy0917]

missed your vlogs really. quality vlogs and edits will always be in the list Marsh & Dasovich.

[@YuirenChan]

I hope you guys will find that spark again that inspired you to start vlogging in the first place, even if your content isn’t currently trendy on KZbin. If your goal is to share your creativity and stories, I encourage you not to stop. It may not be as lucrative, but do it for yourselves. I’ve been working in Dubai as a mixologist for almost eight years, and I’ve recently felt like my passion for creating cocktails and sharing my knowledge has faded. It may seem foolish to leave a lucrative job, but I’m eager to find a new adventure that reignites that spark. I hope we all find it. God bless everyone. ❤

I knew daniel from tv5's juan direction. Rediscovered him again in fighter boys.. i hope to see him in more memorable contents

[@BennLuvsYou24]

You guys have become KZbin personalities/celebrities in your own right. I think I can speak in behalf of other fans/followers how there is always that sort of excitement to click whenever I see new content from you ttwo. It doesn't matter what it's about, you guys are like online therapy for a lot of people. However, I feel like you missed to talk about a certain event in your vlogging during this conversation. Your trip to Paris (or was it France in general?) with Mads was a pivotal moment in your vlogging. I think the post conversations you uploaded opened the eye of a lot of people to what it's like when you make vlogs.

I know it's a lot you're going through or maybe I don't really know the situation, but you've been both inspiration for some of us. change is constant, that's fine but don't let the world dictate what you LOVE to do. cheer up boys. sorry for the grammar, looking forward for more videos. Daniel bro, we'll be expecting for your uploads.

OG sub here, love it! Glad your back! Maybe im wrong but maybe one of the reasons is the break up with your ex. From experience it usually takes about 2 years to get over a serious relationship as studies show as well. During that time frame things go stale. Seems like you got your flavor back. Can't wait for the vlogs! God bless!

Daniel i think you should make two channels, you have an audience who actually would just watch you doing everyday things, no story needed. Then create a seperate channel where you can flex your cinematography and story telling skills for high quality vlogs and stories.

[@titojepotchronicles]

Happy to see you both! So many memories from your vlogs and the Vlog Squad - those were such fun times. Is there any chance of a Vlog Squad reunion, even just one? Anyway, regarding today’s generation, they seem to prefer short content like reels, shorts, and TikToks. I guess it’s because most people now want things quick and don’t like getting bored easily. There are so many content creators and influencers who aren’t doing much but are still famous and have tons of followers, especially on TikTok. Times are really changing, and sometimes you just have to go with the flow, as people’s preferences shift quickly. I still support you guys because you inspired me to create my own channel and start vlogging!

[@tesssheets42]

I know a lot of people missed your vlog like me because of you guys i start watching vloggers but you guys are the original i hope you start vlogging again❤

Oh man, I don’t give a pak about stories, cinematography or B-roll whatever. Just give me something to watch like how effing normal ur life is if it’s also boring like everyone else. I just wanna watch a video from u guys. Don’t edit it if it’s tiring for u, make it raw. Ur videos is like a coffee to coffee lovers. Sometimes we want our coffee perfect but most of the time we don’t care just give me my coffee fix. So pls do upload guys. I miss u guys AF🥹🥹🥹

Great podcast! When you just want to have fun, take a brew by just guesting, acting and have someone else take all the stress in creating, directing and editing. You did it on TV and you were once a “One Take Will”. People soul love to see you again on the bigger screen.

[@jimbarton7866]

Daniel has a unique set of skills that are hard to fit into a single category. Some of his vlog narratives are simply poetry and the camera-work breathtaking, not to mention a commanding, actually soothing voice for narration. In some respects Daniel is reminiscent of George Benson, the entertainer, who was a great singer, dancer and musician, so many skills it was difficult to focus on one aspect of his talent. Daniel is contemplative, introspective and no doubt will figure all this out.

[@magicshopvii]

Loved listening to both of you. I feel like many people can relate because life just happens and it’s not always gonna be the same. The ending is a yey though, anything you put out surely will be enjoyable with your new perspectives

[@kwinnefertiti]

all you guys are talking about are facts!!! facts!!! I FEEL THE SAME! only vlogged for one year worth were I am consistent in vlogging. but the editing is hard, I wanted a better quality content but didn’t have time. then I eventually stopped and now picking it back up is hard. cringy at some point. i’m so sad!

[@lucyintheskywithdi4monds]

Great to see Daniel. I disagree when he said they got no personalities, I particularly loved his sarcastic and dry humor with the Fighter Boys but I can kinda sense he has matured a lot now. I totally understand the dilemma of going thru and adapting with changing trends, while staying true to ones standards and style. IG reels has definitely changed the game. Just upload and not think too much about engagement. It's easier said than done but as Nike said, just do it. I respect your commitment to create quality over quantity.

Dan Dan dude! Your cinematic videos with your VO was always something I look forward to. I got fed up watching YT videos of people's faces, like almost always. I mean no offense, you guys are all good looking, I love looking at your genuine facial reactions and all, but... I still prefer seeing those around you, esp when you go places. And when you do a slowmo with your VO, it's to die for. You have this mudulated voice that adds so much beauty and emotion into a short clip. When you do that, it never fails to move me in such way that I am always in awe of the beauty around us that we sometimes tend to miss. Will has grown from his kolokoyness 😊 but his story telling is so touching. Wil's videos always projects kindness with playfulness (naughty)in it, only shows how fun loving he is. You guys make such touching stories at the end of each videos. And I am hoping to see more. BTW, how many channels do you have, Wil?! I've always thought I subscribe a long time ago. 🤔🤔🤔
