Happy Two Year Anniversary Brand New Style and Design - Pirate Lifestyle TV ™ Quickie 073

[sailthedog]

Capt Rob,

Found your videos last night. Ran across this one tonight. Mean people suck. I agree with lhotka1. I can see cutting the intro down a little and tweeking a little bit, but don't get to straight. Unless Youtube pays you to wear the T..... For what it's worth, I liked the ol' Cap'n Rob better. Someone once said, “If it’s not a hole in the boat, don’t worry about it.”

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@sailthedog Ahoy sailthedog. That is a great saying!! I will have to remember this. ;-)

[donky5003]

Keep the Hawaiian shirts.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@donky5003 I will most likely keep the Hawaiian shirts. 

[kiekert2007]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO where's cap'n Rob!!! ???

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@kiekert2007 I'm back!! Arrrrrrr.

[kiekert2007]

@PirateLifestyleTV oh goody!!! don't scare us like that again cap'n ! !

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@kiekert2007 :)

[azuremain]

Didn't you want to be free? You fall back to old habits. You should do what you like and not what other Youtubers want you to do. I didn't see no pirate in this video.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@azuremain Make sure you watch the video I uploaded last week!

[30gabe30sailboat]

@azuremain

[lhotka1]

Capt Rob,

I am sure it is not easy to get so much unsolicited feedback from viewers. I don't mind a video that is a bit toned down, but don't want to change who you are. I like the Hawaiian shirts and carefree attitude.  As long as you are just open about your lifestyle and life aboard, I am all about seeing all of your videos. If you are like that in life everyday, then you should keep doing it. I want to see real people and their real lives.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@lhotka1 Make sure you watch my most recent video! :)

[ernest302]

Hey brother please don't change / watching your vids keeps me sane in an insane world / i have moved from my land ship (camper) to a land cave (house) and im very uncomfortable and my spirits are down / I envy you and your famaly

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@ernest302 Earnest, be sure and watch the video I uploaded earlier this morning!

[1mnstrbassplyer]

this = no fun!!! Back to the old style!!!!ARRRRGGGGGG!!!!!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@1mnstrbassplyer Thanks for the comment. Be sure and watch my brand new uploaded video.

[hustn99]

Come on Capt Rob, don't listen to the bloody lubbers!!! It's pirate lifestyle. Over the side with them if they can't take an AAARRR or 2. I also like the old style better. Your messages are always good, informative & fun. Don't change.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@hustn99 I am glad to hear you like my videos. Thank you. 

[tomperanteau]

Don't succumb to other peoples' issues. Just because they were abused and are stupid and easily intimidated, you don't need to change your style to please the morons.

Stay with what suits you.  You're good at it and that is why we have all subscribed!

Love ya, Rob,

Tom

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@tomperanteau Hello Tom, I truly appreciate all of your input. You comment on every single video. Thanks!

[MichaelsWalk]

I liked you old style better as well. If I thought you where be rude to us I would have said something about it. So be you self, beside if some of us do not like you video's It is ARRRR lost not yours.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@MichaelsWalk Michael, thank you for sharing your thoughts on my new versus old format.

[slboerum]

:( ...seriously? ....no pirate worth his rum be listening to no lackies...lol ....BE WHO YOU BE!!! =^.~=

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@slboerum Thank you for saying this.

[niffer58]

Nothin like learning and viewing another's tid bits of life that will make ya smile or even laugh. It's your YouTube account not theirs. You choose what goes on and what doesn't :) just be yourself.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@niffer58 Yes, I am the one that chooses what goes on my channel. My goal is to get other people to watch it!

[TheRobertRedbeard]

To hell with the whiners Cpt. Rob. I liked your videos just fine. Why take the Pirate out of Pirate Lifestyle? You sounded totally fed up with doing videos in this one. It's about having fun and living free. If they can't do it, then they have no right to complain that you are doing it.

And yes the Pirate "Arrrrg!" is a little loud but I wouldn't have videos without it. I like it. Keep up the great work Cap'n. Do let the haters get you down.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@TheRobertRedbeard I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this change.

[johnnypineapples]

No more silliness huh? I know what the problem is, you're starting to feel old, why don't you just buy a trawler and get it over with.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@johnnypineapples You want me to turn to the dark side?

[johnnypineapples]

Stupid send button is right beside the "L" on the iPad... Anyway people love to complain on the Internet, don't take it personally

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@johnnypineapples Do you like your iPad?

[johnnypineapples]

@PirateLifestyleTV I love it, it's almost as good as a laptop for surfing the web, there are a few things I still need my laptop for but the ipad is great for portability and movie watchin' and whatnot.

[johnnypineapples]

I like the old style better. I just knew you were going to shout "just kidding, ARRRRRR!" at the end of the video. If it bothered people they much they could watch something else, the thing about the Internet is people

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@johnnypineapples My views have been going down, so I think people are watching something else.

[johnnypineapples]

@PirateLifestyleTV at least put the shirt back on lol

[niffer58]

I also subed because i liked the funny and personallity i found it funny and liked the way you did that. don't change because of a few people who don't like it. you looked down and that isn't fun... love your vids. take it easy arrrrr! :)

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@niffer58 Glad to hear you found my old format funny.

[cpbfox]

I subscribed because I like your schtick. I'd cringe at the Arrrgh, but only because you don't do it with enough gusto. Shout "Arrgh!' like your about to board a ship, board a wench, or someother similar pursuit. I have a dozen Hawaiin shirts, myself... Don't stop being you!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@cpbfox Board a wench?

[erpie2121]

wow, i am sooooo surprised that people would not like all the things i love about your videos. I think you are awesome and i always tune in because your videos are fun and very informative. Your videos were different than anything i had ever seen and that is what i loved about it. I will watch your videos and support you because i thing you are GREAT!! but i will miss the arrrrrrrrr, the hat , the hawaiian shirt and the way you talk. To thine own self be true!! thanks for being YOU!! ARRRRRRR

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@erpie2121 erpie, I really appreciate your thoughts.

[ashleypurrs]

Happy 2 year anniversary Capt Rob. As a pretty new sub to your channel, I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your videos and your style. I love the Arrrs and how you bring your own personal touch to your videos. You're incredibly fun to watch, as well as being really helpful and motivating about 'life'. I always feel happy when I watch your videos. Just wanted to let you know that and to thank you for that. Do whatever you love to do, in whatever way YOU love best. :) ARRRRRRRR

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@ashleypurrs Hello my furry friend. Thank you for your input.

[carlblemming]

this was a bit refreshing.. although I do like when people have a signature ending, something they say at the end of every video

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@carlblemming Thank you for letting me know you find the new format refreshing.

[Lidums1]

Don't worry Roby...:-))

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@Lidums1 I'm not worried. Thank you.

[elwoodmorg2]

You have got to be kidding!! Now you are like all the other nondescript types on YouTube... Go back to the silliness, the shirts (I have about 30 Tommy Bahama shirts myself!), the hats and especially the Arrrrrrrrrgh..... You look happier that way. Enjoy yourself and let the haters move on elsewhere!! We want Captain Rob Lee and not this new guy named Rob. Who is he?

Party On!!

Captain E. Morgan, sv Satifsfaction

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@elwoodmorg2 Captain Morgan? Really?

[elwoodmorg2]

@PirateLifestyleTV .... Yep!! That is my name and I am pretty sure that Henry (the famous Capt Morgan) was a cousin. He had no children so no one is descended from him. After his first ship blew up, Henry named his second one Satisfaction. We thought that was very appropriate for ours, too.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@elwoodmorg2 Great family story. Thanks for sharing it.

[txcatblue]

Hey Capt Rob, You don't need to change for anyone. People flock to you because you are different & are having fun. To few of us know how to enjoy life these days. This is the only place this land-locked North Texas lady can escape to the beautiful seas & get a chuckle each day along with tidbits of valuable knowledge with a unique viewpoint. Don't change! Be yourself! I like you just as you are....Happy, Unique, and Unafraid to be the Pirate you Really Are! Be True to Yourself.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@txcatblue Enjoying life is very important. Thank you.

[WatchToddPattison]

I liked you just the way you were ( No Mr. Rogers pun there LOL ! ) "Livin' the Pirate Lifestyle be about havin' fun" ! If this is true why do you care what others think ? You look miserable in this new format. "The only rules that really matter are these, what a man can do and what a man can't do." ~ Captain Jack Sparrow ~

SCREW the Rest of the world this is America ! Do what makes YOU Happy I'm behind ya ! ARRRRRRRG ! [ for old times sake : ) ]

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@WatchToddPattison Todd, that Jack Sparrow quote is a good one.

[stelthy100]

Capt Rob don't listen to critics you can never make everyone happy be yourself and be happy.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@stelthy100 Great truth. This is true.

[spivtube]

I like your New Year joke Cpt Rob!

Now, you can change shirts as you please, but bring back the Arrrr and the rest of the style or I am going sailing somewhere else.....

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@spivtube Here is to Sailing all Seven Seas!

[compasspropertiesnow]

Rob, don't change who you arrrrr (pun intended). In addition to your stated reasons for doing these videos, I assume you also do them because you like to. So, take some of your own advise and do what you like to do...the way that you like to do it. Like Ricky Nelson said, you can't please everyone so you just have to please yourself. FWIW, I like the old Capt Rob better. He was the real deal.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@compasspropertiesnow Yes, I make videos because I enjoy it so much!

[jcdock]

I much prefer the old style of videos, they were fun.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@jcdock Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[cape3015]

That hurt to watch...you looked very uncomfortable being somebody that you are not. For those who don't like Capt. Rob's style change the channel. Everybody's got an opinion and this video will most likely bring lots of future views to the Pirate Lifestyle Channel...well done Rob..now go dig your Hawaiin shirt out of the trash and get back to Motivatin' & Stimulatin' ye friends with your kick ass videos!! If your sailboat ever comes down to Cape Coral I'll buy you a beer :-) Happy New Year!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@cape3015 Did you say free beer? I am very glad you have found my videos motivating and stimulating too. :)

[cape3015]

@PirateLifestyleTV Being from Pennsylvania originally, I was brought up on Yuengling Lager which you could not get in Florida for quite a long time...well times have a changed for the better here, so if we ever have the pleasure of meeting up for that beer on me, it will be a Yuengling Lager (or a Corona if it is a really hot summer day)...ARRRRRRRRRRG!!!!!

[rewolfdliw]

Hey isn't your lifestyle yours? If they don't like it they should find someone else to watch. Why do you care? You should make your videos the way you like them. You wanna go ArRrrR. Then do it. =O) and this is not April 1st is this a joke?

But if you think you should change then I am all for it too. Then change your videos. More power to you.

Enjoy!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@rewolfdliw Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts about changing and doing things differently. And why...

[passengerintime]

How many subscribers do you have and how many of your videos have been viewed. I will answer that for you "A Lot". The ones who claim to be intelligent enough to to negatively criticize you for your personality and videos were dumb enough to watch something they didn't like in the first place. I don't like certain T.V. shows, so using my God given brain I don't watch them. I like your videos, therefore I watch them. Do the right thing and do what any Pirate would do by doing what makes you happy

[CreativeVoice1]

Nooooo! Bring back the old format! Aaaarrrrrr! :D

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@CreativeVoice1 Out with the old and in with the new, 2012.

[bradq]

i am not working and unhappy. i would like to see how others live a happy life. that's why I joined your channel. to the depths with the critics. we should all live the life we choose if we can. i would love to live on a boat in the sun drinking mint julips all day. we should all live like that and we could if people would believe and dump the jealousy. remove the stress of common perception and we have a new world! to the nay sayers I say. if one guy can do it then it may be available for all!!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@bradq Brad, you can do it. And thanks for the input.

[stinger3108]

I like the old style much better besides though this was your channel and your videos and PLEASE bring back the old way that aaarrrrrr is your calling card don'e let others push you for having fun in life . That be like Larry the cable guy giving up Get ' Er ' Done cause some don't like it you can't please everyone in life and sure hope to see the old pirate life style come back so please bring back the old style .

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@stinger3108 Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new versus the old.

[okeebc]

I want my buddy Pirate Rob baaaaaaaaaaaaaack! This new guy is too stuffy :(

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@okeebc Hello okeebc, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[wesmatron]

Do I detect irony? ;) Don't let the hot air from people's anger fill your sails. Arrrrrgh! You're a great bloke.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@wesmatron Thanks for your input.

[chippydick111]

make your videos what ever way you like.

I always enjoy them.

Please make more.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@chippydick111 Thanks, and I will be making more videos.

[BigFireDave]

I'm not here to judge anyones style but to learn something! I wasnt pleased by the Rrrr but if thats your style so be it. I am starting on a "gypsy" lifestyle and will be living at least 6 months out of the year in a teardrop trailer so I thought watching info from a person living on a sailboat would be a good thing, no mater what your style is, as long as it is informative. I will be living part of the time on a couple of deep cycle 12 volt batteries and probably a windmill. Enjoy new info. 8)

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@BigFireDave Congrat's on starting your gypsy lifestyle. I am glad to hear my videos have been helpful.

[21marspluto]

This is my first time watching any of your videos, Your saying to us: "do what makes you happy"

...but you don't seem very happy about these changes your making, Be you, don't listen to the jack asses on youtube that criticize just to criticize .

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@21marspluto Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it. I hope you keep watching!

[Demonic5376]

I thought I subscribed to a pirate captain, not a weenie giving in to public criticism!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@Demonic5376 Ouch.

[techbannana]

Im gonna miss the Arrrrrs!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@techbannana Me too.

[baddogonline]

I say do what you enjoy and ignore the trolls. It's your youtube channel, and screw 'em if they don't like it. I watch because I like to see the sailing lifestyle.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@baddogonline Thanks for taking the time to post a positive comment about my old format.

[tjw1963]

@1:19- Someone really said you look like you have a ham party every night? Once people get to know you and your channel, they should understand what you took away is part of PirateLifestyleTV.

When people provide feedback as you have talked about, I put more weight in to feedback from comments if they are a subscriber and have somewhat of a profile filled out. Otherwise it is probably some fly by troll who has never come back to watch your videos.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@tjw1963 It was me having a "hand" party every night, not ham party.

[tjw1963]

@PirateLifestyleTV Have you thought about a grass skirt? That would be a change.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@tjw1963 Now there is an image. Me in a grass skirt. :)

[entmage]

Bring back the Arrrrrrrrrrr and the Fun, oh and the shirt too.

not a fan of the Mr. Rogers voice (not really talking down to us, just slightly annoying to me)

Even though Mr. Rogers Rules!

Party On!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@entmage Thank you for the positive and negative feedback. It's all welcome.

[jdhart2000]

Ahoy Captain Rob! Listen up Matey. You were perfect the way you were. Because who you were is who you are. And that's what we true pirates who GET you really LOVE about YOU. " Don't go changing" just to please a few who are NEVER going to appreciate who YOU are because they are DEALING with their own PERSONAL issues.

Your Arrrrrrr's and laughter stimulate and motivate. Your delivery is NOT condescending but rather confident and invigorating, as we would expect in the good spirit of a true pira

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@jdhart2000 Hi JD. Thank you for the positive remarks about my old format style.

[jathgnos]

Bah! They need to get over it, that is part of the charm of your channel. You do your channel the way you want to, if this is what makes it fun for you then keep making them this way.

I happen to enjoy the silly antics, and take it as part of the overall theme - but whatever theme you decide to take I'll probably enjoy that to. I am a dreamer, and love to see others living their dreams.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@jathgnos Thanks for the postive feedback, both old and new.

[AnalogX64]

Nooooo!!! Bring the old Rob back :)

My comment on the last video was about the volume peaking on the audio... it had nothing to do with the Arrrrrss!! :)

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@AnalogX64 I know it was. But I have received many other comments over the past 2 years and 100+ videos.

[AnalogX64]

@PirateLifestyleTV If I didnt like your videos the way they were I wouldn't be here. I think from all the comments here you can see that people like you the way you are and the way you have been conducting your channel. I've always looked forward to your videos because they are very motivational. I too would like to quit the rat race one day and how am I supposed to do that with your help? :)

So get that Hawaii T-Shirt back on and give the finger to the Internet Trolls.

[bvbjb]

Rob, I am with TrulyNFM and erogers36. I clicked on the "Like" to support your channel, not because I necessarily like the new format. OK! I admit that I found some of the content a little corny. Well, guess what? I subscribed anyway, and have maintained my subscription, "liked"your videos because I truly look forward to every one. If you knew my state of mind

these days, you would better understand why I enjoy the "silly", "Mr. Rogers" format just fine. I need fun and "silly". Arrgggg!!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@bvbjb Thank you for the kind words on my old format.

[lebronjamesXD]

ARRRRRRRRRAAAAAGGGGAHHHHHH

[erogers36]

I like the old way better.

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@erogers36 Thank you...

[TrulyNIFM]

Rob, No Argggg? No Hawaiian shirt? No Fun? Don't do it! I want to see more of your boat, more of your life and you telling me how you did it. I also want to see you enjoying life. ARGGGG!

[PirateLifestyleTV]

@TrulyNIFM I'll take your suggestions under advisement.

[KKsKrissvs121]

@PirateLifestyleTV make a new channel: ArrgPLTV

[bradq]

@TrulyNIFM yeah. don't join the blue meanies! they are not having any fun!
