 Let's see. We got it. Everything rolling Start recording. It's not streaming. Oh, hey there. So I'm gonna be just flat out honest and There are some people that are subscribed to this channel that really shouldn't be here and I'm gonna take a minute to go over that and tell you Why you probably shouldn't be here and shouldn't be subscribed to this channel and Then I'm gonna tell you what this channel really is about and Hopefully you can clarify whether you're here for the right reasons or If you just managed to come along because you heard a story and we're hoping for some kind of conclusion or outcome or You know like watching like when you slow down Near an auto accident and you're not in the auto accident But you're on the other side of the road in the clear lane But for some reason everybody slows down and wants to see what's going on and it causes traffic in the opposite Direction from the actual auto accident. So what am I talking about here? What am I rambling on about? basically Back in February when I had my health condition and my myocarditis and my heart issue I put out that video talking about it and Unfortunately, that's been the most viewed video now on my channel and there was a period of about Two months where that video was just getting non-stop views and it was bringing in all sorts of crazy subscriber numbers that I had never had before then and I don't know that I probably ever will again But What it was doing is it was bringing in all these people that were interested in things and according to the comments were interested in like medical conspiracies and all this other stuff near-death experiences and All this other confusion so first off if You came here for like medical conspiracies or again Any kind of other thing like that or What am I trying to say here if you came here for like that kind of drama near-death experience videos This is not the channel for you. Okay? I was just trying to give everybody an update on like my personal health situation and To make sure that they didn't think that I was just gone one day and hear that I had been in the hospital I don't think I was never coming back because I have a business Where I repair old electronics and I consult people on repairs for old electronics This specifically the CRT and the old tube televisions And that's mostly what this channel has been dedicated to for the last five years has been those older analog video tech items mostly CRTs and A lot up to the point before I had made that video I had Pretty much established that on this channel, and I was getting consistent growth consistent views My for example like when you look at like your numbers in YouTube you have click-through rates and interaction rates and Anyway by me making this Medical video and bringing in thousands of these new subscribers That were apparently only interested probably in that and not really interested in CRTs and tech stuff all these new subscribers come in and then when I put out videos that this channel is normally dedicated to the Interaction level is just dropped Significantly and I feel like a lot of that has to do with the like 5,000 new subscribers that came on during this whole Episode with my health, I mean I think it was for 5,000 new subscribers I feel like they're getting the feed and seeing my videos and just Continuously scrolling on past it and the click-through rates on my most recent Full productions have been quite low like lower than anything and I'm not look I'm not the kind of person that is Overly caring about the numbers, but at the same time I want to make sure That if you are here and subscribe to this channel, you know What this channel is about and if it's not for you then you'd actually be doing me a favor By unsubscribing to this channel and you've been doing yourself a favor because if it's not something you're interested in and you're just interested in that other Area of the internet then you should go and find somebody who's going to satisfy Your desires to see that kind of content or hear that kind of content because here again What I am concentrating on is preservation and restoration of older obsolete technical or Older obsolete tech items technology Like the CRT a format that has been officially discontinued dead for well over a decade and Without the work here by me by other passionate people who really care about this machine. I feel like a lot of Society would just go on and move on and just be glad to forget about this whole CRTs and Old tech thing they'd be perfectly fine We're just moving forward go into the next new tech and not worrying about any of this stuff and Preserving it, but then there's us who are passionate about that. That's what you're getting here You know if you came here for obviously CRT stuff, you're in the right place if you came here for shenanigans with a 15 year old bulldog named Brutus and a one-year-old pug Name Cole. You're in the right place if you like Silly talks that I do if you like the little silly skits that I do if you don't like the silly skits that I do You could say that too. It's okay, but mostly this channel is about This old technology how to preserve it and it's an also an avenue for my business where I get paid to Advise on this work on these items restore them repair them and Do that and that's really part of this is this YouTube channel But this YouTube channel again is not gonna be going down this these rabbit holes I'm not gonna change retro tech into something else to try to chase these views and get these viewers back and engage with a lot of these new Different genre of viewers. So I'm sorry if you're here for that. You're in the wrong place What I can't tell you though if you know, you're in the right place. I'm I'm back I'm committed to doing all this stuff Together with you. I'll help you however you want. I'm gonna make videos Mostly on CRT stuff. I'm gonna switch it up some I'm gonna make videos on other analog tech anything cool and old and techy That I think is relevant. I'm I so I'm gonna give you convention viewpoints. I'm gonna give you different things I'm gonna do interviews. I'm gonna do live streams where you'll get to see tech worked on We'll do tool reviews and if that sounds like an interesting thing to you You're definitely in the right place, but if not then you would be doing yourself a huge favor and me at the same time by just clicking unsubscribe and just going on with yourself and We'll just say hey, thanks for stopping by and watching that one video, but it's a waste of your time and it's a waste of my time and to Have to worry about appeasing viewers that really aren't into what this channel is about so Anyway, that's the long spiel here. There's not gonna be any fancy like editing and If you want to go and look at the numbers on my channel, you can go to the videos and see that this health video ballooned into a 200,000 almost viewed video and you should just go in there and check out the comments because I had to stop I Just just stop reading the comments. They're so just ridiculous, but if you want a poop show that Shows you What's going on in some corners of the internet go check out that video? I'll link it in the description and then Go check that out. But look that's it That's the last time I really want to talk about this if it comes up again I'll mention it on the cathode ray podcast with Lewis or one of the live streams but I really just needed to get this off my chest and Let you know that again What you just heard me say that's what I'm committed to doing here on RetroTech, okay, so I wish you all a wonderful day and a wonderful week And I'll see you in the next full-on good production or live stream So have a wonderful day
