How comes David has 53k subscribers and only 5k-15k views on most of his videos?

[thecreativeone]

@M1keOxlong69 Unfortunately, this is the case for everyone. Compare their subscription counts to video view counts and you'll notice a major difference.

[M1keOxlong69]

@thecreativeone Well their loss. Keep up the good work David!

haters are people that have anger towards everyone reaching success. keep up the good work david.

@bigdima no, it's actually really easy to create a minimalistic background.

Hmmm, I personally like landscapes and stars as backgrounds for things. I don't quite dig the minimalistic design, it's kinda bland. I like backgrounds like the one I made for my channel. You could check it out it you want. It's not that distracting to the viewers watching my videos. I don't think it's overly cluttered like some YouTube backgrounds are and at the same time it's not as minimalistic as David's. Let me put it this way, we'd all rather have a nice view in our window rather than a b

Always have, and always will love your videos!

I like simple design. Very clean and sleek. No clutter. Apple realized this years ago, simplistic is the way to go :)
