Rule #1: don’t read comments
Rule #2: if you ignore rule #1, then please make more of these videos 🤣
Read comments and smile, so you realize being normal is so difficult.
@QuadRaSphere Records and Radio Sadly this is impossible to block all bad comments or stupid comments, free speech always with this kind of people whose mind have problem.
"is it criminal that you charge your boss to go to work everyday?" love that reply, what more can you say? haha
It should be noted that many of these types of comments get deleted. Not all. But many. I hope this doesn't encourage them to make more to try to get me to post them. LOL!
I can imagine brother, great video dude. You make cool content 👍
Love your videos, paid plans and the brilliant ads!
I think it's downright shameful, that you won't jump into a cesspool, rescue a drowning leper, and then give them mouth-to-mouth.
I don't think people get how much time and effort goes into creating a proper video, maybe it's an idea to show a full making of video, how much goes on off camera. Script, gathering parts, info, setting up camera's, editing the video, etc. Most people don't get this is a job not just a random sidethingy.
Another thing people often forget when they look at possesion of stuff is age. OMG this guy has a house, 2 cars, a workshop, woooow he's so rich what a showoff. Forgetting the part the guy is 30 years older than you. He's worked more than your lifetime and saved up and gathered things over YEARS, he didn't all aquire it in 1 day like you think you are entitled to.
I once saw a documentary about Tony Beets, the miner from Gold Rush and a viewer asked him, are you a millionaire and how do i become one?
He said well obviously i am, and the best advice i have for you is: Get up early and do your best.
There is no magic pill guys (other than winning the lottery or inheriting), just work hard and you'll get it.
the haters can pound sand and get bent, keep up your hard work, i get so many ideas for my future network closet and server build out from you and your brothers channel.
Ignoring the liability issues, not only can you not teach a kid how to use power tools on the phone, you really can't teach anyone how to do something hands on over a phone call. People fail to understand that it's not a simple matter of just telling someone how to do a thing, you have to be able to show them, and see how they do it with your own eyes so that you can provide useful feedback to correct mistakes.
The gun thing? What is that I'm genuinely curious now. But in all seriousness this was absolutely hilarious can't wait for more of these
I was wondering the same thing. What is the gun thing?!
Agreed. I'm confused.
Apparently it’s common knowledge somewhere that David is an avid gun enthusiast (and that somehow makes him therefore a member of a certain political party).
The 8-bit Guy is a fan of AIR guns. The ones with compressed air and pelets. But they have the same shape, and "gun" in the name, so some people somehow got offended.
@@danielsimpkins9662 People are really crazy sometimes.
Great video, really enjoyed the idea and discussion. I can definitely relate, there are times I get some real doozies, a few I've saved off before I deleted them (in shock). The vast majority of comments are kind people with genuine questions and I usually try to help when I can. I have a bunch of guides I provide to help them out, but yeah... there are those that leave you shaking your head in disbelief. Thanks so much for sharing, enjoyed this distraction of typical content and liked the vid!
Still watching, but Im already loving this style. Please do more! Edit: I finished watching the video and I still love the style. I hope other people enjoy this too.
Armatron!!! I had one as a kid, loved it.
Mike, don't EVER feel ashamed of having many posessions, gained by sheer hard work and sacrifice!
The common thread I hear from the commentors is they tend to all sound entitled. You don't owe them or any of us anything. I appreciate your content, you keep doing your thing.
I have seen those "random words" comments on more websites, not just here. I have a theory that they're used as a distributed storage mechanism. Encode a file with LOTS of error correction code, cut in small chunks, add some chunk index, replace each byte with a word, and post many copies of each message as comments in lots of places.
i think those random word comments are trying to confuse the spam filter. it works by looking at spam comments and seeing common words that show up in them, so if a ton of spam comments are just random words it can confuse it
(i think)
Just wanted to say that I am grateful for your quality content and reasonably priced plans and membership. I am not a novice woodworker and could figure much of it out myself, but the time you have saved me is well worth your prices even though what I will make will be substantially different than your plans aesthetically. I probably would have sent you some funds based on your free content alone if you didn't have premium options on your site. Thanks again, you seem like a swell guy.
I appreciate that!
Some people expect you to handhold them through everything. I've learned that you're not really doing them or yourself any favors by getting involved, because typically people like this will find a way to screw it up with or without your help. In fact, often they'll come back to you and reveal some information which they didn't offer previously, which might have changed your advice or instruction if you'd known. Anything you expected someone to already know as common sense will have been missed. Ultimately you will somehow always end up looking like the idiot or at fault for their mistakes.
50% - "The Geek Pub is a moneygrab"
30% - "Could you help me/my child on building an arcade"
15% - "8-Bit Guy is a (insult)"
5% - "I'm making a video on something, can you give me a shoutout?"
Nice comments! (?) Anyway, the audio from the movie-clips you added is WAY LOUD!
Stupidity comes with no shortage when it comes to today's people, it's like where I live I'm now a grown man but I have a young cousin, he's like 10 years old and he was telling me the other day that in the school (which is the same school I went back then) they put a stupid rule that you can't go with brand shoes or clothing to not shame the kids which parents couldn't afford more expensive clothing and I was genuinely like WTF because it's always bad that there are some kids that are from poor families of course but, what positive impact can you make making a kid feel ashamed and guilty just because their parents bought them a couple of Nike's? He didn't even seem to understand why he couldn't use his favorite shoes when he isn't harming anyone, not even the poor kids gave two shits about it, the problem is that is not about the shoes or whatever nonsense is that all this ¨equality¨ hoax we are living in today has nothing to do with having the same rights or having the same opportunities is simply a way to antagonize anyone who has something you don't have and making them feel like pieces of shit just because they have a little bit better quality of life and that same stupidity translate of all those turd heads that want to attack you just because you have a workshop and fancy tools, why try to get a better quality of life when you can attack and shame everyone who has a better life than you? That's their logic to me.
haha i subbed because you were davids brother. love both channels for two very different reasons. great content from this family. i hope yalls kids make youtube channels too i'll subscribe to them as well.
I enjoyed this. Back to Geoff at the beginning, if he subscribes to premium I don’t think he has to watch adverts! Some of those were just mental!
People are always going to be dissatisfied with something or another. The thing is they have options, they have choices they're not being forced to watch your content or buy anything you're selling. Keep doing you.
شكرا جزيلا مهندس مايك لقد استفدت من قناتك
متابع لك من السعوديه 🌹
Here’s a novel idea for anyone that hates ads - subscribe to Premium. Keep doing your thing Mike!
2:32 I guess I told her! (Ned I mean!)
Behind the screen, everyone live in utopia 😂
People are seriously weird and privileged. People expect everything for free. It's bizarre.
Dont let them grind you down. I heard a video the other day where a guy was reacting to similar comments about this person owing too much land. "My pants have a patch on them, but I own 50 acres free and clear, I drive a 2006 automobile, but I paid cash for a 25 acre parcel of land, I work a job and sell firewood, but I own my house and cars with no debt, etc etc" Some say there are the "have and have nots" really it is the "willing to do and the do nots"
Save this clip from 8:00 to 9:51 and send it to anyone who criticizes your possessions or what you do... you are saying a big truth there. Most people don't realize what it takes to get to a certain point in life.
AMEN!
The amount of entitlement in people is too damn high!
Jeff if you don’t like commercials then get you tube premium lol
This Jeff is grateful that you provide free content on TH-cam and I believe monetizing your talent is a good thing. If you are "rich" or have "many possessions" then good for you I hope you find pleasure in them.
Just show how clueless these people are. Sorry you have to go through that man.
8-bit Guy and The Geek Pub are my favorite Tech Channels on TH-cam. I am a subscriber from Pakistan and I have learned a lot from you guys. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and projects with rest of the world! :-)
It is literally not criminal to charge for plans you have made.
I mean she/he's not wrong you definitely are one attractive men!
Lots of vitriol out there by spoiled little girls hiding behind a keyboard. You have to have really thick skin to publish on YT. Respect for both you and David. I'm glad you can laugh it off. I LOVE this video! These comments should be shown so we can all laugh at them!
Now we need David to do a video like this
But it’s sad that our world is coming to this, I bet half of these comments are from people who are jealous that they don’t have what you have mike, you and David have showed me a lot about home network and this and that so no hate comments from me
David has done a video along similar lines. Not specifically about comments, but about the pain of dealing with the general public through eBay. There was also a sub section of that about people mailing him, asking him for free equipment/support/advice or repairs on the cheap. th-cam.com/video/QvYsw8f77RY/w-d-xo.html
Are you David's brother?
Buy a single user key for adblock key from keyoff. Would not buy those files - I prefer to customize on the screen I'm using from original measurements, but goddamn. Sorry you got some losers stuck on your easy-to-use guides. I'm 2 years in on a side-shop built on cinder blocks to avoid the property problems. A 10x20. Put a lot of hours to make it legal to run power tools and fire proof for most power tools. Finally able to actually use power tools in it safely. Wood costs so much now, I haven't yet used it. Your videos inspire me to try harder and do better.
Really blows my mind the amount of stupidity that goes on here in You Tube. For one, most people have no idea how much work goes into just making the videos alone. I mean, there is coming up with the content, writing a script, filming, lighting, editing, etc. Also I have bought plans and products from woodworkers here on You Tube because I know their time is valuable and I like supporting good content. BTW I plan on taking advantage of your plans special tonight or tomorrow after I pay some bills and if the sale is still on. Keep up the excellent work that you do! Yeah do more....l am always up for a good laugh.
This is good stuff, like the ol tech support days.
i smiled about some of the comments :-)
Mike, I think its outrageous that a rich guy like you cant fly to London, bring NAS, Firewall, Racks and cables and build my home network for me. I will feed you, but you will have to pay for your own accommodation. Can you also bring a table top arcade machine with you. BTW don't make any money out of this video, Its not fair on all the poor viewers who just want to get money for doing nothing. If you need to make money, I'm sure there is a tree near your home, if you shake it, money will fall off. .................On a serious note keep up the videos and as a fellow Michael that also has a brother called David (totally different to me), who cares both channels have interesting content....Mick from London
expected making fun of foreigners but instead those are actually crazy
anyway, addressing comments videos are generally bad taste and they invite and encourage more of those
I rarely comment on videos. But here i am commenting. Keep up the great work.
Naaa, keep it on, its quite interesting to listen when I'm working on old computers or Legos.
Don't listen to the haters. Your channel is solid, and your brother has a good channel too. Keep up the positive content.
Unbelievable......!! Your stuff is great and of course you should charge for your work. But I do love the comments you're referring to as they're really entertaining (with just a 'hint' of OMG!). Keep up the awesome work and thanks!! Now - I'd just like to make this comment.... :)
Maybe those random words are crypto wallet keys - could be free money - LOL
I'm sorry you have to subject yourself to all these negative comments; I don't have your intestinal fortitude. Even I have to admit... some of them are funny. This IS the funniest video I've seen in ages. Keep up your excellent work. A non-pro tip: next time someone writes that you have too many "possessions"... think of a scene from "The Exorcist" for the next time you feel like making another hilarious video like this! Your selections for film inserts are far better than the choices I'd make. Please take care and keep having fun!
Your success is due to your hard work and sacrifice. These comments are due to participation trophies and helicopter parents.
lol people are so entitled. "Do a ton of work and don't monetize it. Never sleep but also provide a ton of content since you'll need your paying gig to pay bills."
Makeing video gets expensive really quickly. And Time isn't free.
DAMMIT MAKE QUALITY CONTENT ON A REGULAR BASIS AND GO INTO DEBT WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!!!
so many entitled people from those comments, lol
2:18. I have nothing to offer. Will you give me a shout out?
😁😁😁😁😁
Ok.. you made your point a little bit to obvious.. love the videos though !
Best part about owning your own business? You get to choose which 20 hours a day you work.
hahaha so true :-(
So true!
I once heard that the difference between being unemployed and self-employed is what you do with all of your time.
@@bzuidgeest Exactly, some people are better suited for wage consistency, and some better suited for entrepreneurial life. Why the world keeps turning the way it does. It needs both types.
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Love it.
AMEN to that 😀
“Jeff” should pay for TH-cam Premium to get rid of ads and still support the creator…
Or sign up to Patreon, supports the creator and gets ad free viewing
BuT ThAts A mOnEy gRaB!
Everything has a cost and a value. If your time is plentiful, watch ads, otherwise pay for premium and avoid ads. Mike has costs to creating videos and monetizing with ads helps offset costs. I suspect he is still doing them at a loss over all. Thus still giving away most of his time. If you still don’t agree and feel you don’t get your fair value from the videos, then don’t watch. Alphabet (Google) is the one benefiting most from Mike’s hard work creating worthwhile content. Complain to them.
That's exactly what I did because I got sick of the ads and I wanted to help all of these content creators that I enjoy watching without having to become a Patreon supporter for 100+ channels.
Agree. It includes TH-cam music as well. Music streaming and no ads on videos is a pretty good deal.
Hi Mike. Just wanted to say that I massively appreciate the work that you, David, Perifractic and countless other TH-camrs put in. Sadly, we live in such a selfish and demanding society and everyone seems to want everything for nothing. The general public can be scarily ignorant sometimes, too. All of this combines to make the dross that you have to endure in your comments section. It's shameful. Keep up the good work, fella
Hey, I bought your plans, that includes you coming over to my place and building it for me, right? right? 😂😂
I look forward to eventually having a subscriber count that attracts the crazy entitled people. 🤣
That was a fun video, and it seems that bots are being programmed to just use a random assortment of words. It’s a new form of trolling, I guess.
Its probably some Russian secret code about the Upside Down
Mike, I appreciate the time you invest in these videos and projects. I bought your plans and used them to build three different arcades. Didn't mind paying for your work. Keep making great videos.
I guessed I miss something.. what is the 8-bit guy's "gun thing" people are talking about?
Love the t-shirt, hate the fact that you get these comments. Making content is not easy, and yours is high quality and educational and entertaining .. such a rare combo! Keep up the great work! 👍
The idiocy of some people is just astonishing 🤣. I hope you have a good laugh every time you read these comments! Just know your loyal fan base is here, and laughing along with you, and facepalming along the way!
How is a build channel, showing how to make things bragging about one's possessions? its a necessary part of the channel. As for selling your plans, they're welcome to do the research and cobble together their own plans. FYI, new to the channel and love it.
That's so funny with the 8-Bit Guy relation because the whole time, I thought you sounded so similar, but figured it was a coincidence. It all makes so much sense now.
I like this kind of video, but you may be encouraging the wrong type of comments ;)
Can you tell your brother to tell his brother Mike that he makes pretty decent videos, even if he monetizes them and refuses to provide tech support with his Lambo money?
There's a lot of lazy jealous people out there. They're easy to identify, they're often the ones who want something for nothing or criticize well earned success. Success and wealth doesn't fall in your lap. Its a process of working hard long hours, taking educated risks, broadening your skill set, challenging yourself and never stop learning.
Don't hate on someone because they did what you did not. Praise them and thank them for their contributions and entertainment. Sponsored or not..
And yes, I'd like to see more of these candid feed back videos.
Hey could you call my gran and help with her washing machine installation. I watched one of your monetized videos once, I mean I did have an ad blocker installed so I didn't actually see the ad but I still watched it and might of even given it a like. So erm yeah if you can call her ASAP because you know you owe me a favor now right!.
LULZ U R 2 REECH!
XD I kid. Your videos are fun and informative. They have inspired me to do things I wouldn't normally do in life (like build stuff - your brother inspired me to get into retro computing). I have to admit, I originally set out to write a book series about a fantasy version of the 1980s, yet your guys' videos have helped flesh out the world I'm writing about.
The harder you work...the luckier you get! ;-)
You got that right!
When you started talking something in the back of my mind said "The way he talks makes me think of 8-bit Guy" and I guess I know why now >_
Huzzah for not injecting politics!
Thank you Mike, long time since I laughed so much!
Nice one, Mike! You've got it right on all counts here!
I mistakenly read this as "Responding to Crazy, Mean, and Weird Commies"... and, well, anyways!
One of my favorite quotes is "if your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it" (or some variation of that). Definitely agree about sacrificing in the short term to make long term gains. I wonder if people are too entitled to give up their leisure time to work at things -- that's not really a problem of course unless they're complaining about not getting things done.
I don't know what the gun thing was.
This gives me courage. I have worked on a business for 20 years; tried different things. Just lately i have found what I'm good at, in electronics. I learned a long time ago if you want to know what someone else knows, then pay them. I bought all your arcade stuff and have made a mini NES arcade bar top from an old touch-cade from 2008. Modified it. Will be using your plans to make my next arcade. Thank you for your content. Has helped me alot.
My Uncle used to go to auctions and buy boxes of junk. I used to fix the electronics in them. Never dreamed I would do it as a business. But I love making things work again. Finding out what is wrong with them. And modifying them.
Free isnt free. People who grew up poor understand. My grandpa said the lessons you buy are the ones you remember. And we all pay for lessons. We pay with blood, bruises or money. But something has to be paid.
Thank you for posting content all these years. Many tubers have come and gone in this industry. People dont realize how much money it takes to be on here. TH-cam isnt free. It costs alot. If they have bought just one computer, software or camera they would understand.
Hmmm... your reaction to the shoutout request could have been a bit friendlier.
I get it that you don't do shoutouts, that's perfectly fine, but your reaction gives me the impression that you think those who ask are idiots and should be ashamed for daring to ask you for a shoutout.
Otherwise great video.
Maybe if they offer to sponsor him he might consider it, it's like asking to put up your poster for free in the middle of the city advertising your content. I don't blame him for being blunt.
Well, they ARE idiots, so if the shoe fits...
Maybe I should have given more context to the shoutout. It was a TERRIBLE video. And the end product was really bad.
@@TheGeekPub In that case I can understand your reaction. Thanks for the elaboration.
Great to see your getting some fun out of the crazy, mean and weird comments.
Mike, Dude! How the hell are you man? I'll just say, we used to work together. We need to catch up.
I would NEVER forget Glen Grigsby! Shoot me a message on TheGeekPub.com's feedback form with your email.
My brother is poor and smells like salmon. He loves this video.
Hi Mike, love your channel (and your brother's channel, and Geek Bits as well.) As creators, we all have to deal with the trolls and haters, unfortunately. When I find content that I like, I will usually drop a kind word in the comment section and a thumbs-up. If I find content that I don't like or don't agree with, I keep my comments to myself. It can be so discouraging when a commenter dumps on you for something as minor as a mispronounced word, or less-than-perfect audio. A lot of us create our videos for fun, we are not professionals, but simply want to share our knowledge and love of a particular subject with other like-minded people.
these people are trash, i love 8 bit guy and your videos as well.... its very rare to see two brothers on different theme based videos on youtube and yet interesting... keep up the good work and never forget to read the mean comments and forget about them in two seconds... thats my wisdom to you sir.. :)
Stay strong. Fuck the negative people. Fuck freeloaders. I'm a developer and I get tired of people just wanting me to work for free.
Great video. Not so much the comments themselves but how you deal with them and your insights on how to mentally prepare yourself to setup a business.
Choosing beggars crack me up and make my head hurt all at the same time! Keep doing what you do!
Were they really choosing beggars though? Most of them were "Hey, I bought something from you and need help." And his response is, "No."
I love your channel and content. Ignore the haters and keep up the amazing work!!!
You really don't need to respond to critics. Keep the videos coming.
Great video!!! I needed that laugh today. I hope you so more of these. Ive seen where your brother has had some award winning comments. You should bring him in to do a show on this topic for his channel.
Nothing to do with the comments, but I've just seen Armatron in the background... WOW, that takes me back.... I'd forgotten that even existed and it was A-MAZ-ING.... well, it was actually, probably a bit cheap and crummy, but let's not mess with the memories. :)
