Do you ever think of shifting your channel to be more like Sam's?
Like since his way of nonsholot video making has become so popular
WHY DONT YOU TALK ABOUT HE CLAIMS HE’S CLEAN / NATURAL BUT HE’S ON JUICE !!!!!!
TYPICAL TH-cam CLOUD CHAAER , YOU MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT HIM BUT YOU DONT HAVE THE BALLS TO CALL HIM OUT … JUICE JUICE JUICE !!!!
I'd like to see this guy more in future videos!
It’s old school TH-cam. You find a person you like and you spend a part of your day with them. It’s what made people fall in love with the platform in the first place, and something that I thought died. You watch most modern content, it’s either massive budget tv style content, reaction content, or repetitive video essays. Sam is just an inviting personality that drops gems sometimes. I can’t watch all his stuff, but whenever I do, it feels like your hanging out with the guy. That’s what the platform used to be.
Great comment. Sam Sulek's channel reminds us what youtube was originally meant for. With so much youtube content now that consists of big budget, professional productions with in-your-face marketing and advertising, it's refreshing to have content creators like Sam Sulek that you can just watch and relax without feeling like it's all an elaborate sales pitch.
"You find a person you like and you spend a part of your day with them" ---> This was so well said and you're absolutely right. TH-cam used to be like that: simple, chill, and hella more authentic. But what sucks is that most videos made back then would have suchhh a hard time blowing up/gaining recognition nowadays.
Yep exactly ,
Well said. Best way to put it.
Reminds me a lot of old school Rich Piana. The only fitness youtuber I genuinely watched.
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $32,000
weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Thanks to Mrs Deborah Davis.
She's a licensed broker here in the states
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Deborah Davis) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
authenticity is the real answer to sum this entire thing up, can be 1 hour, 2 hours, 5 minutes long, it doesn't matter the length. It's why streaming is so wildly successful right now and connects many people together in communities, because there's no room for editing out parts, mistakes, it's just raw.
Nothing says authenticity like steroids
@@davidfields5375 get a fuckin life bro seriously
Authenticity means nothing if you dont have accolades following it. Sam is insanely gifted athlete like 1 in a million type of dude. That is a reason why ppl listen to him in first place. Once you are given a chance its easy. But to get there is something most ppl wont ever be able to as they are simply just not that impressive
@@yakudza2773 His physique is why people click but his personality is why people stay.
It's true that you usually need something special to stand out but authenticity is what brings you long-term success.
@@davidfields5375 he’s so authentic he’s never claimed natty think about that bud 🤔
An honest dude who is candid about his results, and journey. There’s nothing surprising. We love a genuine, giving person.
Other than the fact that he's on so many steroids, he won't live to thirty
Old school TH-cam vibes with Sam. I really hope this style of content makes a come back. It's simple and I love it. I hate how with majority of content now a days there's constant cuts, sub titles and sound effects every few seconds. I totally understand that it's too keep the viewers attention since majority of our attentions spans have been ruined due to tik tok but I really want these old uncut and raw style of videos make a come back.
He’s only famous because he’s on roids
and he's on gear ...
Attention spans have been declining a decade before Tik Tok. It began with video games then smart phones.....from a teacher's perspective.
2.7 followers and 100 000 views...@@misterb1132
The only reason this dude is famous is his roid use. You think if he looked like the average man in great shape he'd have the following he does now? Lol keep dreaming. It's less about his personality that draws in the views and more how he looks. Roids will do that.
Instead of doing that i got me a monetized youtube channel with over 20k from viral npc marketplace (it is now 30K) and im now earning like an old youtuber haha. good video
For real...Authenticity goes a long way. TH-cam is like making friends at scale 💗
yeah ❤
Hmmm... I didn't think of it like that 😮
Kids need a sense of friendship and community, even if it is a stranger and other strangers. It is sad that youtube is used for this.
I sort of hope this kind of TH-cam 'style' (style-less) comes back because it will reward actual people with real genuine personalities. At the moment, it's a case of whoever has the biggest budget and editing team with a presenter who reads from a carefully crafted script. I don't mind bigger productions, but often you'll find that the TH-camrs presenting them aren't that interesting without all of that. Some are, some aren't. Sam is a rarity, but hopefully not an exception. Hopefully, his case proves you can still grow by being your authentic self.
I'm sick of being sold to, videos and often whole channels made purely for the sake of business and selling. Sick of constant jump cuts and mad editing that is hard to watch as if we're children who need an incessant flicker of shapes and colours to stay watching.
Agree!
Will it work for gaming channels
With Sam, he got popular because all the other fitness influences were talking about him. They were talking about him because he was huge and had a controversial approach to his diet. That was the talking point. His dirty bulk and the really clean cut. So a lot of people want to get info on how to get big like him. But I agree authenticity plays a part here.
ahhh and now we find part of the real reason
Steroids are a helluva drug.
A guy in his early 20s eats a few donuts and fitness ecelebs lose their minds.
in other words, whe's attached to an already active and current niche
@@TheMoneyDojo Your welcome 🤗😁
Sam’s content for what I’ve heard is an example of “simple but effective” which is the kind of content that fellows like myself really enjoy! None of that face-paced editing show that gives me a headache.
Of course there’s the nostalgia from the old days of TH-cam that might have something to do with that.
Plus with more simpler videos, people don’t necessarily have to watch watch them, they can just have it on the background while they are doing something else. Either that be something on the computer or playing a game.
I was just thinking the same... TH-camrs back in the day were raw and long-winded and enjoyable. You felt as if you lived through their videos and enjoyed watching what someone else does because it breaks up the monotony of your life
No. He has an unnatural body. That takes human attention. Thats it, no mistery involved.
he speak about what in his video ?
Our humble apologies if you are seeing this video again. We had a technical issue with the orignal upload of this video so we had to remove the original and reupload it. Whether you're watching it for the first or second time... enjoy!
PNGtubing vid?
@vidIQ Love the content
I almost thought I went back in time lol
lol my TH-cam is soo glitchy these days I thought it was showing me the homepage from yesterday again. I thought it was stuck🤣
This my second time watching
It's nice to hear someone say "just be yourself" cuz I think a lot of us feel like we have to act like someone else in order to be successful on TH-cam. I like to think I'm a pretty genuine person, so what remains is to become more confident being myself, both in my content & IRL. This is something I've struggled with ever since my early teens but I'm slowly improving. I can't promise to be the most interesting guy around but I'm very passionate about a lot of things & that's something I'd like people to see 😄
In any case, I'm relieved I won't have to become a body builder to get noticed on TH-cam cuz I don't have the drive for that 😆
❤
let's go! You can do it!! 💪
You can't "just be yourself," when you're loaded up w/ illegal steroids. That's the antithesis of "being yourself."
'just be yourself' is the worst possible advice and should be disregarded at all costs. It gives false hope, don't buy it. Be superlative. That's the secret sauce. All else is lies.
The fact he is popular gives me hope in youtube
Congratulations to Sam! At this point. I have no idea how TH-cam selects who it will promote with its algorithm. I see many creators who "are themselves," relatable, informative, and consistently upload their videos, and have like 100 viewers. Seriously, I think TH-cam wants to promote who it wants to promote. Those that do get promoted are fortunate. I wish Sam continued growth and success.👍
You nailed it.
@@roncolemanlaw Thank you.👍
I disagree even though I feel that way too (it won't grow your channel)- but I know it's not true. Listen, look at what works on yoru channel and do more of it.
Sam is different, I dont' watch lots of bodybuilders- but right away I notice- he looks real, his whole look is I'm a sweaty dude who works out...it's DIFFERENT in a way that is INTERESTING to folks YT follows how folks react- if folks like it- THEY WILL PUSH IT OUT, if few test folks hate it it dies on vine...
I think this is true. And sometimes it feels like they open a video only to certain number of people at a time and when the views speedily gets there it automatically stops increasing.
@@gossipmaggictv Exactly.
I'm 31, I bodybuild, used to be a professional gamer, now I have multiple responsibilities, jobs and a business, I stopped watching all the TH-camrs I've been following since 2007 I got fed up with the fakeness and over the top editing and cinema quality,
Sam is so real and raw I feel like I'm hanging out with him.
He relaxed me
07 that’s a long ago time are u sure? I remember 2014 was still kinda like this too.
professional gamer, lmao
@@driesvdg8743 it means professional player in a game
@@driesvdg8743 If he was a pro gamer same time I was, the price money was literally 24 cans of energy drink for 1st place in COD 4 back in 2008 ( We won)
It's really good seeing these classic style TH-cam videos making a comeback. It's an approach I've taken a little bit too and I've seen one gaming creator who gained millions by doing mostly unedited content too.
Which gaming creator?
@@bozmak4016 FightinCowboy. I don't follow him much but know that's kind of his style. He built his audience through Dark Souls videos. Now he's does kind of a variety
It both remarkable and depressing. First its remarkable this guy was able to get over one million subs in a couple weeks but then depressing other TH-camrs have been working on a channel for over a year or longer doing video editing, editing thumbnails, and coming up with video ideas are barely getting any views or subs on the channel. Stories like these are like a double edge sword.
Regardless, I love doing youtube videos and will continue making content for someday make it my full time job. I hope who ever reads this comment is successful in their youtube journey.
wishing you happiness and success too, cheers!!
That seemed really honest and authentic of you. So, I just subscribed to your channel :)
@@mookiemu Thank you! Have an awesome day. All the best.
@@LoveandSoul7 All the best to you too!
I just saw some of your shorts and subscribed to your channel. Your edits are really good and on point. I hope you see great growth.
Being authentic is just so much easier than trying to be super over the top all the time. I have respect for Sam, but am also concerned for his long term health as he's juiced to the moon.
Yeah but in a society where be happy in yourself. He is doing great. Also EVER gym influencer is on PED's and most are mad that he is getting more track then them.
I think it's gonna be a repeat of Zyzz. The human body was not meant to be like that, your organs just can't handle it.
he's famous because he's on gear,not because he's cool and fun. Sam manipulates teen guys
@@45detourdebrasettoi12 you can't really use that as the excuse cause again ALL gym influencers are on Gear, or Tren, or some kind of PED's. The reason he gets the attention is cause he is more down to earth and also he doesn't diet like the others and is big.
That authenticity is undefeated. whether you edit or not u shouldn’t put too much pressure on it, experiment and have fun.💪
Bro this just helped and inspired me so much. Im an artist and own a very well known custom barber clipper brand but my extreme standards for my work and my content have held me back from ever really getting my youtube channels going. I have one for my brand and so many ideas for my personal channel but I think my way out of making videos because of things like not having the time to edit it the way I want to, not having the camera I want, not having a person to record me and overthinkimg every video concept. My attention to detail is what makes my actual artwork so impressive but its a curse in so many other areas. I've heard of Sam but havent really watched his stuff but now watching this video and seeing how well he's doing by just being himself and not overthinking it, it really just lifted weight off my shoulders with it. So thank you for that. I guess now I have no more excuses to not do the damn thing already. Lets gooooo! 💪
I believe in being your authentic self, I’ve had friends tell me to be this way or that way because that’s what people want to see on TH-cam and my answer is always the same! “ I can’t be like that because that’s not me, I have to just be me” I focus on trying to get better with the camera and editing and carry on being myself. Thanks for making great content VidiQ 👍
Im happy for Sam. The guy contemplates and shares his insights as he figures his hobby on the go. He is witty, honest and looks as if he found his peace without chasing status, wich is refreshing in post ironic clout chasing world. As for gear, Arnold did gear and have done to inspire millions of people to take care of their phisyque. People love exagerrated heroes to motivate them. Sam eats beter than avarage guy his age, doesnt drink or smoke, studies.. Most bloggers just are so preoccupied with commodifying the gym culture making it into a gimmick circus, while Sam resonates with average humble person looking for a geniune companion.
Sam eat trash food and he’s not natty (drugs)
@@45detourdebrasettoi12 you just born?bodybuilding is never natural
Yeah, from what I've seen of clips he's just a decent personality, goes out there and gives it his all, doesn't get overtly.. you know, over his methods or something. His chocolate milk chug reminds me exactly of my grandpa after he finished splitting a bunch of firewood, though it was "only" a quarter gallon.
he's not honest ..
I'm experiencing the same type of thing. I'm on month 4 of my art channel, and I had never posted content to YT before starting this channel. I'm now at 12.5k subs, which is really fast for the niche I'm in. I do minimal edits and I don't even show my face, but I talk a lot and I connect with my audience in an authentic way. I also post consistently 3 to 4 times a week, plus occasionally post shorts. I also try not to spend too much time fussing over thumbnails. I also regularly post hour and a half long vids. Ppl tell me they weren't going to watch that much but then they come back telling me they accidentally'd the whole thing. Its nice knowing that folks want calm vibes and we dont have to be loud and weird in order to find an audience.
Sam has to be protected at all costs. He seems like just a wholesome, geniune person.
I love him because he’s not natty
A rare commodity
There will be sharks circling. I pray clout chasers stay away
he famous because he's on gear ?
Good luck to everyone on their journey! May we all succeed, as long as we create our ideal persona/ viewer and understand what we’re recording for or who we may want to reach!
Sam is literally the reason i decided to start making videos, and change my life!
This was fantastic and exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for reminding me that our channel initially grew because people connected with us. You know back when all we had was our cell phone. Now I am going back to my channel to get back to the basics!
Law of Authenticity playing out right in front of our eyes. Dude just is consistent and the raw uncut version of himself. Kind of like all the successful people you know outside of youtube as well. Usually just regular guys who do the work.
sams content is how old youtube videos were. Interesting seeing youtube come full circle
He has got the winning combination. Being a TH-camr is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of Famester of course to help) will always pay off at the end. Good luck to everybody, I hope everyone is going to succeed one day.
💯💜

Great breakdown! This is something I've recently realized myself. And I'm doing pretty niche stuff, too.
I skipped the heavy editing in an effort to keep it more "real". Sure, this may not be for everyone, but the comments made me realize there's a lot of people loving the simple, down to earth approach to making videos.
❤
Great news! I used to speed up our films to keep them engaging (but I didn't like to do it at all!) , but thanks to your video I understood it's better to slow down. Here's my genuine- thank you! 🙌
We just love Sam. He’s genuine and that’s what we need more of
He’s gorgeous
I'm amazed at how just being yourself and putting out content is something people like - It's what I've been doing with my own channel - I was asked to be on a radio show pod cast a couple months ago which I did for 6 weeks in a row, problem was the shows antics were outdated. The constant snarkiness and "morning radio show" format isn't what TH-cam is about - I did a video for my viewers explaining why I wouldn't be doing that show anymore, the show attacked me for that video, so I did another one where I pointed out what you're saying here. TH-cam is supposed to be about average people sharing their lives, if it gains followers that's great, it it doesn't that's fine, too.... It's about people doing what they want and just putting it out there. So many of us are sick-and-tired of the overly produced TV/film stuff that, in large part, is designed to program your mind with BS.... Good for Sam and good on you, man...
People are starting to prefer authenticity
hes such a calm dude and the vlogs are mad chilling
Love this!!! Thank you as someone who's been on TH-cam almost 2 years and I have people come up to me thanking me for being honest and real ... Hello from Gatlinburg TN
When I came across Sam I just found him really easy to listen to. The dude has a voice like a late night easy-listening radio DJ, so calming and chill. Oh and he's huge, and it's just captivating to see a huge human just go about his normal life with out all the try-hard antics you usually get on social media.
True that!
Thanks to roids
@@45detourdebrasettoi12 Roids give you a smooth voice? What are you smoking?
Honestly, it can really be summed up right here. Sam Sulek is just the penguinz0 of the bodybuilding genre. The laid back style of video, down to earth personality, and consistent format, they’re very similar.
Penguinz0 is a boring nerd who never takes off his white tee and looks like he smells+ he’s a nerd and talks like the annoying band kid in highschool
I literally love this guy! “Be yourself!” 😂
Dude is so down to earth bro,so humble....i love how people walk in front of the camera he doest fkn care. .he just speaks softly and moves heavy iron...and the aesthetic he looks like he just drove up in a damn farm tractor or a a columbine harvester..dude is awesome.
It all depends on what someone likes... And what they are in the mood for at the moment. But I do agree that authenticity is important, which when the camera is rolling, is hardly ever easy.
❤
My critique stays the same. Sam Sulek's journey just goes to show that there is no secret to growing on youtube. Dont let these YT gurus fool you into thinking they have some secret sauce. Im 100% sure if he had gotten a channel audit from VidIQ on Tuesday's live, when he was at 8k subs, they would have said the same generic thing Thumbnails and titles. But look where his style got him. You think Sam is using VidIQ to do keyword research 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and he is in a veryyy competitive niche. Makes me feel like I should be doing less keyword research.😢
Bing Bong!
I think everyone is just forgetting the obvious and is oblivious to the idea on why Sam Sulek actually blew up. Go to a few channels that comment on any video and take a look at their non-edited and no thumbnail designed videos. The harsh reality is that a lot of people are lying to themselves that they can get somewhere without any editing or any thumbnail designs. Theres always going to be some hard work that needs to put in, like in Sam's case its the fact that he stands out for his insane use of steroids and his overall gym rat vibes. In any one's else case, theyll just post a video on a really competitive niche and hope that it'll blow up like Sam's without putting any effort. You can't expect to grow without putting in the effort. Success doesn't fall out of the sky.
@@dzy81 absolutely I agree. Still doesnt change the fact that these gurus have no real advice to magically grow a channel.
@@MrGreen99 I will give them this, the ideas from other creators on how to get out there helps and so do the tags as that gives one a sense of direction on where to start
You also overlooked the speed at which he gained fame. If he had focused on editing from the beginning, people would have noticed him more quickly. Initially, he struggled due to the lack of a thumbnail and proper editing. It was only later that people began to recognize the value of his videos. Editing remains crucial to trim boring parts and enhance overall content.
This is a very good video. A lot of the TH-cam channels nowadays look like just a big merchandise. People want authentic people communicate with their subscribers. "Be yourself is the key"
For me TH-cam is an ever evolving platform. Where nowadays people are used to short content that they find it refreshing to see an authentic and less edited video that they can relate too and just find themselves enjoying the content.
This makes me so happy. I film my first video on the 25th of this month. I actually had the same idea for video style just bc im lazy. Lol. Im a 35 yr old. 508lb man. Who used to be VERY athletic. Very healthy. Very strong… then life happened. Stress.
Now im old. Handicapped with bad knees, high blood pressure, anemic, and pre diabetic.
What a good base to start from! I had a kid on 2020. And current world events have finally triggered me into action. Time to get healthy. I gotta be able to protect my kid. And rn i know i really couldn’t if i needed to. Thats a really crappy feeling to feel. Talk about emasculating! Time to fix that. I think fixing these feelings will also help with depression and my anxiety.
So my videos will be basic progress, accountability, and mindset updates. I figured if i stay accountable to my audience, i can also have better odds in getting the results that i want by having positive reinforcement at my finger’s tips by just scrolling through my comments and mentions.
You're not old. You just feel that way because the weight is bogging you down. Start your journey and keep it up. You will start to feel better. I'm 62, now that is officially old!😆 But I eat well, exercise regularly, and keep myself together mentally, physically, and spiritually. Get moving. You can DO IT! When you start posting your videos let me know, I will subscribe to your channel to watch your journey!👍🏋♂️🚴♂️🚶♂️🥗🍗
At 35 you should be able to take control of you weight and get in shape fairly easily. The fact that you want to make videos about it, will make a good journey for people to follow. Don't do what everyone else does and quit after a couple weeks. Your family needs you as and your success is just around the corner man!
@@dubgonewild thanks for the positive and motivational words. I actually went on 25th (yesterday) to the open gym for the brand new gym they built, and met a lot of people. After signing up and speaking to the coaches and staff to make sure I could film. I went ahead an set up and recorded my first video. I did a bench press one rep max test, my max rn is 177lbs. after that i did 4 sets of 12 rows with 100lbs for each set. Im SORE af today. But its nap time for my son so i just loaded all my footage into the cpu to start editing it. I hope people will be interested. But if not, i liked talking to the camera anyway. Kinda felt like therapy session a little bit. Lol
Some of the cut footage is hilarious and also sad. Like the struggling to sit up after my first bench set. The bar was too low and i was stuck struggling to get up. All on film. Lol. Felt soooooooooo stupid and pathetic. Lol
In what world is 35 old ?
I don't think this is a good analysis. You say his t-nails are just screenshots. Maybe they are but he's a body builder so your eye is naturally drawn to them. Those will get high click-thru ratios. There's a video gaming channel called savoix which gets insane numbers with no body-building connection where the guy just posts t-nails of muscley guys which have nothing to do with the video.
Ofc, what do you expect from a channel who capitalizes on small TH-camrs who don't know information about TH-cam. While they do not know themselves really anything, just jumping on trending topics and giving their "professional" advice. You can do what Sam does and be yourself, achieve better results than listening to vidiq
His success came to me with no surprise. I myself was so tired of modern youtube content. In a way it is all the same. Fancy editing, sponsorships, everyone trying to follow the recipe to success. Sam is just a charismatic dude with seemingly no filters and his channel is about a very simple thing and he stays 100% true to that. It is just so refreshing and relaxing to follow a "normal" dude through his training. You know what to expect when you watch his videos. It feels honest and there is none of the usual bs content creators add to their stuff because they feel they need to do it to stay relevant.
Sams channel is like a channel from the good old days. I wish him all the best and hope he is keeping an eye on his actual well-being.
Thanks for not cutting out all of the pauses and times when you need to breathe. The content was also really helpful! Thank you!!
Only amateurs need oxygen! Haha thanks so much. I'm glad it helped
For every content creator watching this video don't give up you will acheive your goal just keep pushing stay blessed.
You got this!
Really I got this!? When unedited fluff content out paces anything I post.🥺😢
thank you so much
Dude just found out about the other half of youtube 😂 Miyazaki likes to call it (Ma). whether it be driving, walking, camping, or just anything in particular that encompasses the silent emptiness of everyday life free from drama and adrenaline.
What helps Sam big time is his calmed Voice. 🗣
I like watching him, and learning more into bulking , and eating specific ways with or without juice. Lifted in the past well power lifted, and do not currently more extreme sports lately. But when I watch him, im constantly learning something I do not know before. Thats why I continue to watch his videos from time to time.
Your analysis is incorect @vidIQ. While being authentic played a small part at his growth, large chunk came from him being really controversial figure in fitness space. He notorius for his awful diet, mediocre training regiment and pumping himself with huge quantity of steroids at really young age to achieve that phisique.
Because of that most youtubers in fitness space made videos on him, warning their audience that if they do this they will likely just kill them self by age of 35. Which will most likely happen to sam if he doesnt stop what he is doing.
Long story short, Sam is killing himself for clout, and people are just tuning in to watch the trainwreck in motion. He is Rich Piana 2.0
Wow. This is fascinating. Also, i'm getting some bad vibes from VidIQ. Something about them is off-putting to me, even though I've been a subscriber for a few months now. But if they don't do their research and just puts out videos like this with no background, that's a really bad look for them.
He fully has to be taking ‘roids because he’s way too big for a 21 year old, what BS…he’s def killing himself for clout
@@MILKTOOTHMOVIES He probably started at 18/19 and later just cranked it into overdrive...
@@sincorddnb9155 gross
OMG I thought he looked ROIDED UP...but that is sad...
Stuff like this depresses me... don't get me wrong I'm super happy for him and its great he's had exponential success by just being himself... but it kinda sucks for all of those who are spending hours creating & editing content, creating the right title and thumbnail and not getting the results...
Don't be deppressed. Guy is literaly just killing him self for clout. If he wasnt pumping him self with huge quantity of steroids, noone would care about him.
Sam appears sincere. I concur with a comment highlighting the dual nature of the situation. Despite putting considerable effort into weekly posts, including extensive editing, selecting appropriate music, and crafting compelling narratives, I struggle to gain views. Considering Sam's emphasis on authenticity, I'm contemplating adopting a similar approach. My aspiration is to attain at least half of his success and potentially turn TH-cam into my primary source of income moving forward. I wish everyone a successful journey on TH-cam!
4:25 bro is almost to tears describing that old dude's channel. 😅😅😂😂
I love the content keep going and thanks for the help
Of course! Everything is possible:)

Keep creating one day your video will blow up for sure 😊
Absolutely!
Back to the original days of vlogging.
simple, they don't look for the videos but for the man, and is also something the fitness community was missing and also young people
This is what makes TH-cam so awesome. There is no one way to do it. You can be you and make that work. Because that is when you make the best content. When you are relaxed and yourself.
Sam makes you feel like a friend and your just hanging out.
This vid really helped, thank you 🙏🏼 some of my subs have mentioned that they would like to see what I get up to on a daily basis. They like what I have to say on my current vids, but now want to see more of my private life. I have a simple life so im not really sure what to actually record 🤷🏼♂️ I guess I'll just record everything and see what happens 😄 I'm nervous, but I guess I'll just film that too🤷🏼♂️😬 Thanks again mate, you sparked a little inspiration in me to just get on with it and stay real 🤟🏻💚
In summary, he’s a guy with an Olympia level body, but is down to earth and acts like your next door neighbor without any fancy editing.
Olympia level body and 21 old
This was such a soothing video to watch. Very informative and straight to the point! I’m happy for Sam and his success seems like he’s not changing the sweats or hat. People who want to workout and look like him prob watch because they dress like him. Great video , I liked and subscribed
Because Sam is rad, humble, and legit. No need for edits, clickbait, or fancy BS. 🙏🔥
He hasn’t tried to sell me a fuckin thing. That’s my favorite part, Sam is genuine. He’s relatable as well.
No one should be surprised that people enjoy content that is down to earth, humble and educational. Not over dramatic, fake, shock content designed to get your dopamine hooked on loud, flashy, annoying crap that provides absolutely no value to your life. Sam is the standard ! 💪
Sam Sulek is just a guy who does what he loves and his simple video format is what we really like... Just sharing his day by day path to be big 😊 Humble dude, real one..
He’s only famous because he’s not famous
I love this! I do a lot of "turn the camera on and record" in the moment type of videos. I have friends who are still waiting for all ther perfect camera equipment, the perfect background, the perfect lighting, etc. I love the more authentic, raw channels because that is me. I'm sharing this video with a friend who is trying to get everything perfect before he shoots his first video! He walks with his baby in a backpack every morning. I said, "dude, THAT's your video! Turn on the darn camera while you're walking with your kid! People will love that!
Thank you so much, this is such a well explained video. I didn't even click on this video because of Sam Sulek, I just came to hear what you had to say, and the info and insights were so valuable. Thank you so much!
Great vid. Sam has been on my radar for months. He is the most fun and engaging bodybuilder on TH-cam. Cheers!
Is hard to be yourself because we see people faking almost everything, and we forget how it is to be SIMPLE.
I think this is why I like watching Wendigoon too, he just flips the camera on and talks about things he is interested in, he has some editing but it's not over the top, what I like about his content is that he's just a dude having a conversation about a certain topic he finds entertaining, interesting or just wants to talk about, he just like me fr.
Good message, my man. I was contemplating whether I should be more energetic and do some silly, energetic TH-camr stuff. However, after hearing this, I can confidently say that I won't do it until I feel like it. And if I don't feel like it, I won't do it at all
I would say that people are looking for authenticity and someone to look up to. His strong muscles gives people a good first impression so people give him a chance and then end up liking his humor and other parts of his personality too
Literally just came across Sam's channel yesterday and subscribed. My experience - I clicked bc he's an absolute HOUSE of a human and I was intrigued. He also has an interesting look - with the long hair - aesthetically he definitely stands out a bit. Watched about 5-10 mins, fast forwarded a bit - found his video to be pretty boring, but his physique obviously very impressive. Honestly I'm not very into that type of long form content - don't usually have the time or patience for it. I was actually pretty surprised when I realized the entire video was just him casually talking. Subscribed bc he seemed interesting and YES authentic but was kind of surprised how huge his following was - figured there must be more there, or maybe he's just the ultimate BRO and people love it. A sub costs me nothing so I'll see what else he puts out as he comes across my feed. Also sure he has some good fitness advice. But probably not going to be one to sit down and watch 40 minutes of him walking through the grocery store talking about chicken. May not even end up watching many more of his vids. But he definitely seemed a bit "different" from your typical fitness channel and that was refreshing. It's fun to take a glimpse into the lives of these people and see how others live their day to day, even if it's just a quick peek and then I'm onto other things.
Very fascinating who and what becomes popular on this platform (or any platform). Good discussion of this on this vid. You also have a sub from me now. I give them out like candy.
What a crazy paradox that this old school version of content creation is getting amazing traction when Google cancels anyone with anything real to say.
It's grotesque that we have to find an authentic niche but also stay within the acceptable parameters of the algorithm.
Sulak is fortunate his interests don't delve into subjects that are contraband on the platform. He will be blessed monetarily for being vanilla.
Sam is just a very great and charismatic guy, so people like to watch him.
TBH I thought Sam was like 30 something years old haha. I just found his stuff a few days ago and agree. I create a similar type of content but not as long. Been growing but very slowly, slow growth is fine but this is a great analysis on Sam's growth. Amazing. Thank you!
Hey thanks a lot! Yeah growth is growth. We just gotta learn what we're doing right one piece of content at a time.
Sam's def a vibe, happy for him
Some videos are so over the top with fast-talking, cuts, and constant visual changes that you have to watch it at a lower speed just to keep up. I kid you not, I had a video that I had to put at .25 to follow it. This video feels like the perfect balance, not too much so that it's over-stimulating but still entertaining
Because he’s authentic and a no bs type of guy, who doesn’t do stupid stuff just to get views. The combination of being passionate about working out along with teaching people how to lift, is a recipe for a huge viewership
This has got to be my favorite TH-cam tip video as my channel is all about sharing mindful tools to tap into your authentic creativity. I’ll have to rethink how I present the info. more personably.
He's doing Slice of life content. And i'm here for it
Thank you for your videos, they have helped me a lot on my way through TH-cam, but I still have a question and that is do the daily shorts that you published affect the long videos? Greetings from Cuba
This is really the thing I really like about YT, that there is a place for this kind of content. Slower. That doesn't kick your brain into a crazy frenzy and leave you feeling like your eye balls is spinning. It's like when you put on Friends on TV just to have some company, only here you watch a regular person.
Thank you for this video. I’m starting to obsess the proper way to upload my video and kind of shorten it as I would have thought who will watch 2 hours of my WIP doing my art anyways, I think I’ll leave it that way and give a proper asmr feel of how it feels like. Plus if I do it that way I guess it takes away the time for me to stress on video editing and stuff and focus more on what matters, making my art. Also this way I’ll be able to leave a video footprint of my stuff and no need to buy a hard drive for storage haha. Thank you mate, I appreciate this video a lot
BE YOURSELF
When you are being yourself, you're being honest, and people like honesty
Simple. And honest.
Raw & from the Heart!!! Love watching him as well!! Well Done
damn dude you give that relaxed vibes right now. after rob and other vidIQ dude you're the real deal damn !!
i watch the dry creek channel all the time i genuinely like sitting down and listening to the man speak he has some good talks tbh
That's the beauty of youtube, it has all kinds of audiences and it's a reminder that youtube is made for people and by people, keep creating!, it's just a matter of time to be found! 🤩👍
My Gen Z son told me to relax and be myself 10 years ago. I'm finally getting comfortable enough on TH-cam to do that. Thank you.
Watched now the newest vid from Sam, never seen him before. Apart from his pleasant and calm personality he has some film skills: really good audio, good framing and image quality. Colours are nice, focus on point, calm camera movement (none). That fit the mood and his personality.
honestly people love a natural body and thats why he is different!!
I love this video. Comes to me at the right time and affirms something I already knew: seek and you shall find!
Thanks for searching and BE yourself!
🐝🙏💝
I mean the guy speaks only about what he is competent on, never misleads you, is super transparent and he is quite humble and likeable guy.
His channel is actually what TH-cam was suppose to be... YOU tube!
