YouTube Comments GOOD BAD UGLY, how they effect us as content creators ROAD CHAT vol 3

[@firetofork]

You hit the nail on the head with this one mate, humans have a bias towards negative comments- we can have 200 positive and 2 negative and we only really register the negatives- it’s ridiculous and I wish I could change it but it’s how we’re wired. I’m loving seeing the loose Rhonda on screen

[@rcflyer3984]

G'day fire to fork agree with you 100% but if I could add one more thing. Grab Ronny &OTHER said person sneak em up to your secret spot for the weekend. Then feed them up a storm and pump them full of your Boutique Beer instant best friends. Lol

[@infinitydronesolutionswa6123]

By the way Harry, your channel sucks..😂 Only joking mate, I think your channel is awesome because you have access to some great people for your chats and your camp cooking is next level 👍

[@firetofork]

@@infinitydronesolutionswa6123 Cheers mate!!

[@infinitydronesolutionswa6123]

Fire to Fork no worries mate, it’s all true by the way 😜

[@stilley78]

Hey Harry, i'm a fan of your channel too and reckon your rescue pup is pretty awesome too.

[@travx467]

Yeah I think everyone wants to here about the drifta thing.

[@derekeasterbrook6791]

Your channel and other content creators have help me, a 62 year old man, enjoy life more by showing me what I can do in the great outdoors and start my own channel. Keep up the excellent content Ronny.

[@jno5]

I think I’m catching your ‘Drift’ with the trailer story; I seem to remember a video of you towing a different trailer, which you made a few observations about. I’d love to hear more about that story. Justin on the other hand seems more open and from what I’ve seen online seeks out feedback on his products; after all the best feedback is often valid negative feedback. Anyway; I love your shows, so keep them coming....there’s far better shows on KZbin than on TV these days and your show is 100% one of those, mainly because it’s not just one long advert, like some other Overland / 4x4 shows are....😉

[@Phil_McAvity]

FreeToWheel . Yup me too!. Iv also noticed the fanboys of that company used to love Ronny & comment on his videos but they don’t no more. And in most of their videos since this they always defend their leaf sprung trailers.

[@scottlorensini9819]

Please go into this more in a vid

[@stevenruskin6797]

Was that the lost eggs an beer in the Simpson.....

[@coenstant]

Would love to hear the trailer story.

[@robkay9227]

Can’t wait to hear about the camper trailer 😂

[@Silence_me]

I really enjoy all of your content Ronny. I think what you do to show people our part of the world is amazing. You paint Australia in a fantastic light and your videos are all informative and family friendly. My missus hates camping but will happily watch your vids and Harry’s. Keep the videos happening mate, you really are good at what you do and there’s absolutely heaps of us that feel the same.

[@MadMatt4WD]

Ah the cesspool of the internet. I've learned to have a thick skin as well. I try to take the time to respond to the positive comments but the negatives usually get banned or ignored. I like that for the most part on YT I get constructive comments. To have a good constructive conversation is fantastic as we can learn then. It seems to me that some people think that because I have a channel I think I know everything about 4wding or whatever the video is on. This is so far from the truth it's not funny. LOL. Anyway, I love what I do and will continue doing my part to help the 4wd community wheel well. Keep up the good work Ronny.

[@joels2517]

Yeww madd Matt wheres part three mate

[@Mr105.]

How could anyone give Mad Matt a negative comment??👍

[@NastLJ]

Ronny I really enjoy your channels. I wheel a jeep in the USA and so the Wheeling styles are different, but I find that so much crosses over that when someone wants info on different aspects of the hobby from camping to recovery to just starting out yours is one of the few channels I suggest. Oh and can't forget just my enjoyment of watching your great adventures I am not a big boat guy but you style of videos has made them all boat trips included some of my favorites on KZbin.

[@destination4wd788]

These people who hate you is because they want to be like you but they don't have the courage to risk everything and make their dream come true. Personally i think you have a good content. look i am from south america, i am 39 years old living since 3 years ago in Australia. learning new language and i tell you, people like you inspire people like me who want to make their dream come true. What i think you can improve is have more fitback with your audience in sense of make them see that you can hang out with us. Cheers bro!

[@2adventure_oz921]

This is the kind of honesty that's needed when reviewing stuff, I bought a cheap-ish camper at 12k about 10 years ago from a mob in Sydney (now changed their name) due to 4WD Action heavily promoting them and never saying anything bad. It had many issues from the pickup day to the camp on that first night and only needed about 10% better attention to some critical detail and it would have been heaps better. It never happened. Good on ya for sticking it to them, it'd be great if you could make it public but I'm 100% certain you'd get a letter from his lawyer asap. Grubs. Keep it up, some more down south content would be good.

[@42mirv]

Keep up the good work. You are one of the reasons I spend more time on KZbin than on regular TV shows. Quality stuff.

[@Bugoutvehiclesuk]

I’m liking this channel as it’s more old school. You tube is a strange place and I think a lot of the trolls are just ppl that have gotten comfortable mouthing off without a good punch in the face to straighten them out. It will be interesting to see how it evolves and if a new KZbin will come out soon. I struggle with some comments but I think that’s because I try to reply to them in bulk and am already on the defensive from the last three digs. Thanks pal.

[@michaelharris1455]

Hey Ronny! Personally, I really enjoy your videos, and they've led me to a couple of other content creators, that seem pretty cool so far. I also appreciate the amount of work you must put into them, it must be an awful lot of work, to make them. Your multi part trip videos are real favorites of mine, and it's always nice to see Torbin, Wayne and Sarah traveling with you. The product reviews are another fav! Thanks for everything!

[@Stuart_Field]

Keep up the good work mate. Re. reading the comments that you get I left you a message once on your Insta about the RTT on the camper and I left one for Wayne about his half canopy. Both of you blokes answered (all good with spelling too). For what it's worth: what more can you do than pump out content across the platforms and then engage with / reply to your subscribers. I think that's awesome and really appreciated it. I'm not a Patreon or anything, just someone who tunes in. Cheers and thanks again.

[@chrisjohnson3912]

I've been binge-watching your stuff for the past 6 months and you can see how your channel and content has evolved... along with your "Cruiser". It's great stuff... and getting better all the time. Nothing like it really being done here in the USA with multi-part series of epic adventures. Right blend of wheeling, camping and talking too. Great formula. Keep up the good work.

[@kieron3676]

Spot on. Love your channel, like most of your vids and I really like this format. Also looking forward the next torque n 4x4.

[@jpjerome]

I've been following you for close to 2 years now, I really enjoy watching your adventures with the crew and instructional videos. I bought a diesel truck and started offroading because of you and the guys @4wd action. Dont worry about the negative, cant please everyone mate! I just wanted to tell you, Good Job!! you are genuine, honest and funny just like my mates! I consider you part of the family, offroad family, keep up the good work buddy!

[@gqwarrior6694]

One thing I have learned about thumbs down from a couple of the KZbin gurus, is that thumbs down is still a positive for a creators channel because it is still viewed as interaction by KZbin. Which, as I'm sure you are aware, is a good thing for the creator. Thanks for talking about this subject. It was good to hear the thoughts of someone that already has experience dealing with the hate.

[@RonnyDahlPhotography]

FYI this was recorded 7 days ago, for those who are asking 🤙

[@brandonspain3483]

Good on ya Ronny, I've always enjoyed your Videos, ignore all negativity dont give fuel to clowns ,oxygen thiefs , some people will always get off by making others miserable, your so down to earth Ronny , I've learned so much from all your stuff its Gold .

[@kevinfrancis2245]

I've been watching your channel for over three years, and I've learnt so much about 4wding and keeping it light, that I've put all what I've learnt into my own rig. Keep up the great work and ignore those idiots who want to bring you down. They're just jealous mate. 👍

[@SadMafiosoSadMafioso]

Right on Ronny! I love seeing this side of you, keep up the fantastic work!

[@alansmith8435]

Thanks Ronny I love ALL of your videos. I am an extremely amateurish 4wheel driver starting very late in life. I watch your videos for enjoyment and information mostly because I'm not into extreme 4 wheel driving I'm definitely a touring type of guy. My only regret is why the hell didn't I start doing this a lot earlier in life. Keep up the good work I love it

[@benlavale]

Thanks for being so honest Ronny! Love hearing what you have to say about the industry and all the inside going ons!!

[@willparlour76]

Great vid mate! I particularly like that view out the front of the curiser. Amazing clarity!

[@matthopkins6286]

I just want to go on record saying I really appreciate what you do. I like the older stuff better but you are definitely a positive influence on the offroad world, thank you. 🍻🇺🇸

[@bogdanhh]

:) I've been watching your videos for years already. The progress you made is really nice and videos are better and better - more cinematic more action, a bit more of everything every time. Bad comments, good comments - I tried once to make a video and I saw that it's very HARD so... Any people should appreciate all this free info that they're getting.

[@australianoffroadadventures]

Well said mate, also something i struggled with. Amazing how far a positive comment goes especially effort that goes into creating content. -Brett

[@EvanMoon]

I really enjoyed how the video was put together. Black and white in the cab focusing on what you’re saying... Every now and then you looked outside and full color. I just really enjoyed that piece of editing.

[@jacks86australia]

Hey Ronny, I've been watching the channel for years now. I've enjoyed seeing your channel and skills grow overtime. I can't say I agree with everything you have ever said but it's all been well created and backed up. Keep up the good work and 99% of people appreciate your work.

[@DiffLockWarrior]

Hi Ronny, I started my "offroad" channel a few months ago. KZbin is around 130 sub with fb being around 1200 like etc, so nothing big, just a "small fry" but even I am encountering haters at this stage. I don't think people realise how hard this actually is. Especially in the beginning where I'm my own producer, camera man and editor 😂🤣 keep up the good work. You are one of the guys I look up to when going out and making videos 👍🏻👌🏻 One day I'll be a big KZbinr 😂

[@patronipatroni9974]

What I never understood is people who dislike videos or leave stupid comments - you have clicked on a video and watched it for FREE if you don’t like move onto another video 🤷🏻‍♂️ love your work mate, certainly inspiring a lot of people to get up and get out there, keep it up

[@Micko1987]

LOL loving your stuff Ronny, I agree with you completely

[@carlosrey357]

Mate I watch you. I have learnt so much from what you've shown. The amount of money you've saved me because as usual you get gung ho and want to buy all this stuff to get myself ready. You make it simple and and straight out forward. Keep up the good work

[@scumpert]

And I agree wholeheartly with your sentients! Well done!

[@km4fsi827]

SOOOooo True!! i have never hit the thumbs down also, just no reason. you are a great content creator!! no matter what the subject is you always make it worth a look. keep up the good work mate! im a huge fan here.

[@Haywoodjablomie100]

Ronny please do a video on the camper, there's been many customers shafted by this company and they just delete all trace of their complaint/review blaming the customer. I was gobsmacked how they treated one guy in particular when they screwed up his draws. So not surprised they reacted like this to you, wish more people knew how this company handles business.

[@bananasusyd]

Shame about Luke, constructive criticism is the only way we can improve. Love your content mate, keep it up.

[@tjlucky08]

flashback video’s when no one really knew you and Perth didn’t exist on the map according to East coast and the world haha “you rocked a mohawk then you cleaned up” As a long term subscriber and a fellow Perth resident. I’ve seen some foul comments but I don’t let the sway me. I’m here for your support and content.

[@damienbolton6761]

Well said Ronny, it’s a privilege that we get to watch great content provided by you tubers for free. Keep up the inspiration, live the dream. Cheers 🍻

[@l84jk31]

Really like the channel has been a great outlet during these crazy times.

[@nipsy_lafett]

Chris from Texas. I love your content. You’ve inspired a lot of us to just go and I appreciate the hell out of you for it. 💯❤️

[@johnfarmer83]

Love ya work mate, keep it up. I find what you post an inspiration to just get out there and do whatever you love. Haters will always hate but great to hear it from your side as a creator.

[@philsymons9614]

Thanks for another cracking vid Ronny, pleasing everyone is damn near impossible but pissing off the keyboard brigade is easier than starting a fight at an english premier league match! What a lot forget is that these video's are FREE to view and they still complain... they are an inspiration for birth control! Bring on more Modified's esp Torbens cruiser!!!!!

[@TheRonin145]

Have you ever thought about making a video or series of videos showing how you create your content? Sort of like a behind the scenes of how filming is done, equipment you like to use, etc. Thanks for all your hard work making interesting and informative content.

[@craigleech4779]

Loving all your video’s mate, awesome content and product testing 😊👌💯👏

[@ozmoose3195]

This was really good insight. Please consider doing a podcast so I can listen in the car. Would be very entertaining! Ronny, I enjoy almost all of your videos. Entertaining and informative. I find you clearly articulate that reviews etc are your opinion. You have also clearly called out any endorsement or sponsorship with provides further balance. Keep up yer good work.

[@BorisEkner]

Your knowledge, your honesty, your frank personality, your exciting ideas for new videos makes your channels worth watching. I don’t love it (because loving is exclusively for my wife and children) but I like what you produce, what you show me, and you sharing all this improves my understanding and knowledge. I look forward to every new video I find of yours. Keep it up! (No, I don’t Skip Add’s on your channels as I know you’ll make money from them. ...but I do mute most of them... 😉) Keep it all up Ronny, you’re a well of knowledge!

[@alainstasse4602]

I've said it before and I'll say it again Ronny. You're worth your weight in gold. Proud to be a patreon and a green-neck.

[@royby69]

I'm 60 years old and I view constructive criticism as a learning tool if i don''t know what I,m doing wrong I don't know how to improve

[@FloydBromley]

Good video mate, I'm only just starting out in the big world of the internet so I don't get too many negative comments but I know how they can be tough sometimes. Would love to hear more about how you deal with negative comments, like some of the tips you gave those two guys you mentioned.

[@Overland_eXploits_Oklahoma]

Great overview. I learn at least 1 thing from every video. We are our own worst critic, so I don't feel the need to exacerbated. I really like the collaborations. It brings more depth the the trips.

[@hsv454kh]

Really enjoy this video . I have leant heap from you over the year about off roading and want to keep on watching your content. Ps.... love the modified serious on the prado 120 both petrol and diesel one.

[@TristanNicolas]

Hi Ronny, thanks for sharing that, it is really interesting to get your perspective as the KZbinr on this. On the "far right" / "far left" comment, I would add that you get comments from all over the world and what is normal, far right or left can be quite different based the country the person is commenting from. I am French (but living in Australia for some time now) and what could be considered "normal" in France could be considered quite left from an Australian perspective. This can also be explained by very different contexts. On conservation for example, it is quite different in western Europe where there is not much nature left and preserving what's left is really important. The population concentration is also different, meaning that rules must take into account that natural places may see very high number of visitors. In Australia, we have a different perspective because the country is so vast and relatively empty of population in may areas.

[@nbrettoner]

Good point Tristan; re the differing points-of-view dependent on where one comes from. (Culture/population/"what's important in our neck of the woods". :)

[@jamesmcmillan2656]

I think the comment section has given narcissists a platform to spew their hatred, and you hit the nail on the head when you said ignore them. I’ve learned so much from this channel and truly appreciate what you do, cheers

[@DestinationOffroad]

Ronny, awesome video man, love these chats and agree with you all the way. Best is when you can change a hater to a subscriber that loves and asks for specific videos.

[@scottburridge6826]

Good topic , as someone who is starting a channel mid next year this subject has been on my mind. Thanks for the chat. Cheers Scotty Melbourne

[@rosscampbell4884]

[@neilocoop]

Love these travel talks. This is a great subject too, as it’s good to know what it is like in the other side and i have seen some comments around that curl your hair. Please do the trailer story as this one I always wondered what happened? Keep up the good work. 👍 one happy Patreon.

[@PhantasticAdventures]

Well said Ronny! There are a lot of keyboards worries out there and I have grown to learn to brush them off. But honestly I just feel like they are just jealous-of your success and they just don’t have the motivated to reach for their dream or goals. It the only way they can feel better about themselves and their pathetic life. Don’t worry about what others people think! Ronny well done on ur success mate and keep up the awesome work! Love what you have done and what you are doing

[@chris.s1678]

⬆️⬆️ don’t listen to this guy, he is taking way too long to release a vid on his rear drawer setup 😂😂

[@terrysmith7740]

You are doing a great job Ronny, keeping it real as usual. You can please some of the people some of the time but you cant please all the people all of the time. Personally i find the sycophants as hard to take as the haters. Its great that you can make a living out of something you love doing. Good onya mate.

[@mikemorgan4670]

Very frank and well stated. The Misses and I love your content and find it very inspiring and educational, not to mention down right entertaining. Keep up the great werk.

[@danielmcintyre4251]

Mate your travel series are awesome to watch, you keep it real and don’t go looking for “situations” to put your self in. I don’t bother watching any of those other major brands anymore. Keep up the good work

[@timetogodoug]

Hi Ronny, thanks for the video commentary. I really like your videos due to the variety of content and subject matter. The scenery is often incredible and quite stunning, even just a shot of an endless desert is beautiful to me. I've always wanted to travel to Australia, but so far haven't had the chance, so I have to follow people like you that show me what it is like. Your how to's I respect, because they are coming from someone with experience, something I don't have, so I respect it. Most of my comments are just plain, thank you and have a great day, Since my experience is limited, I will watch and learn from others doing the experience. If I do not like or have interest in a particular scene, subject, etc., I just skip it, I don't make negative comments, because I am not experiencing what I am watching, so I don't feel I should respond. Anyway, thank you for what you do, I really do appreciate it and keep up the great work! Have a great day!

[@jamesbushy9031]

[@surfsnotsased6491]

Hey Ronny just thought I’d let you know that I love watching your videos and really appreciate the effort you put into making them 🙂

[@aussieboer]

I went to a drifta event a while ago and mentioned ol Ronny's name and got a few raised eyebrows about it ,and I'd like to know the story behind this one mate. I really like your content, it's really helped me get a better understanding about 4wd and overlanding. I also flew all the way to Perth this year to check out your content creator show, end up winning a ARB recovery kit and t-shirt, and you had my little 4 year old nephew participating as well. Thanks for that mate, you're a top bloke.

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Richard Sauer yeah I asked about Ronny at the Drifta event earlier this year and it was like an old western movie scene when the out of Towner walks into a saloon.....could’ve heard a cricket fart 😆😆

[@atlas_au]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Please more RD2 videos of you talking about things in a no bs fashion. Would love to hear one about gear you think is overrated or completely useless - maybe even places that are completely shit.

[@ronsmith8071]

Thats for be so honest. Keep up the great work, I live for your videos. Ron from Miami

[@taylor-madeplumbing7891]

Mate the best part about this video is when you go to the road with you talking in the background. I'm from North East Vic we don't get to see the red stuff it was a nice change for the drive thanks mate. And make sure we see the kids behind the wheel one day I have a 2 year old and he love sitting on the drivers seat steering when we get on the gravel.

[@roblaird9668]

Ronny thanks for the effort you put into your videos. My wife and I both enjoy watching them. We love your honesty, advice and watching you get into camp late all the time. I don’t have a social media presence but from a business perspective I always think, “if you don’t know them personally, don’t take it personally”. Anyway mate, have a great day and hope to have a beer with you some day.

[@jimbojones2457]

Ronny, you're right. There's a dickhead in every crowd. You just have to filter them out and move on. Your content is shit hot mate I wouldn't worry about the keyboard warriors mate. Keep up the great work mate! 💪

[@Malc664]

Right on Ronny. You're doing great mate.This genre of videos has grown so much no one watches T V anymore and the content is free to watch so very grateful to you and others contributing to KZbin.

[@six0fizzlefo]

Relatively new to the channel. Appreciate the work you put in to these vids mate. Have already picked up a tonne of useful tips and been pointed in the right direction for so many things. My only complaint? Seeing how much money you and some of these other lads have been able to put into your rigs and set ups lol. I'm a long way off! Also, I only dislike vids of stolen content or misinformation as I think it's a good way for the community to gauge content. Keep up the incredible work

[@rickm4295]

Your channel is about 4 wheeling , getting out and enjoying life and giving tips on how to be successful at it.....Not too much you can say negative about it. You and 4WD Action will be a staple of my 4 wheeling life as long as you do it. I was raised where If you dont have anything nice to say , Dont say anything at all....not a bad way to be. Keep doing what you're doing brother

[@mafca201]

Hi Ronny, Yeh I understand what you mean i recently made a video on a RTT. And the video went mental well mental for my channel. 90 percent of the feed back I got was really good and positive. Also received heaps of responses thanking me for making the video. but got a few really nasty comments. One guy even called my dog gay lol. I don't understand why people would go to that length to put some one down. Haven't really made any more videos since then. Because it really bothered me. Since then I deleted all the nasty comments. And plan to make some more when I get some free time. Cheers for making that video as a tiny content creator it's good to know that other people having the same issues. Huge fan of your channels seen pretty much all your videos. You have definitely inspired me and now im saving up for my first 4wd.

[@jameskeegan]

Good video mate, a lot of very good points made that I would agree with.

[@stevesmith3556]

[@goldenwest5545]

Hi Ronny, I always like your content and can't wait for the next one 👍🏻.

[@Bandit_SkozzaAU]

ive never really been one to comment on social media platforms in the comment sections. you only have to read the comments to know it's just not a place to have an intellectual discussion. i imagine it's even worse being a content creator as you clearly pointed out. your 4b chan is one of the few chans i do enjoy watching and even rewatching when i cant find new content. keep up the good work.

Good one. Think the same. Go on, I love your vids in General, and the one I dont like that much, well, other people do like them, is it is good. It is like the LP's from the early days. some songs were good, some not that good, but still in general you liked the LP. Ronny, I thank you for being a content maker. Some postive greetings from the Netherlands. This is Robert, not a alias.
