It seems that wild exaggeration and fearmongering are what drive the most clicks and capture the most eyeballs on TH-cam, at least currently. You, on the other hand, have more respect for your audience, unlike the bros who are making five or six figures in revenue. I appreciate your commitment to quality production standards and actual entertainment value. Sensationalism gets old very quickly. Keep your chin up - we love your work!
I really think your viewers are a pretty intelligent bunch. We appreciate both the eclectic nature of your productions and your ability with the language. That doesn’t necessarily mean we exercise good taste. 🤣🫤 I bet if ytube showed you what other channels your fans are subscribed to, you’d find it a fascinating cross-section of ideas.
Helping your Mom shows character. If your work suffered, so be it. Many understand. Your intuition brought you this far. It will show you the way forward. ❤
Too many distractions in the country / world. Elections, hurricanes, fires, wars. People are too tied up to enjoy that national treasure that is Wonderhussy! Love your channel!
That an accurate assessment of why I've been more infrequent here. Between the national crisis's, UAP disclosure and how to videos, I'm admittedly spread a little thin. Oh yeah, I also work for a living. All that said, this is definitely one of my top three favorite channels.
Just fyi I am a 65 year old woman and have watched your videos as a subscriber for years. Love your sense of adventure and the fact you are very real! However, your videos never show up in my feed anymore, not sure why? You tube algorithms? I have to actually go to my subscribed account to find you. I am pretty sure I am not the only one. I would sure think that has a huge impact. Thanks for your videos, keep them coming!
Exactly my thoughts as I was watching! This one already has almost 85k views and not even up a day. YT, give Sarah a break, her videos are top notch, Momma needs a new house.
I'm a 64 year old woman ( so MUCH younger 😊) and I too love your videos and watch all the way through. If I had a hard-working self sufficient kind-hearted creative daughter like you I would be thrilled. Keep on truckin'!
I'm a 70 year old woman. I, too, have been watching your videos for years, nearly from the beginning. I love the quality and decent content from your videos. Best of luck!
Same! Stupid shorts suck up all the air. I have to intentionally go to my subs to see my fave creators. That's probably part of the issue... TH-cam makes more money with shorts and don't really care about long form anymore.
@@moirafisher5106I’m 63 much, much younger lol, and enjoy the creativity of the Wonderful Wonderhussy show, (I’m laughing as I type) thinking of her laugh-in-style antics, hard work, historical information, she’s just cool man, I can go on and on, we’ll see her vids for yourself lol😂❤
I don’t think I have ever been able to watch just 5 min of any of your videos. I always watch the whole thing because once I click on your video, I just have to finish and see what happens!!! I think wanting to help your mom shows what a nice person you are. Your videos are always funny, interesting and uplifting. ❤❤
dont feel bad wonderhussy, the rest of us non-youtubers have the same problems. i’m 55 and have been toiling away at a regular 9-5 job (actually 7-7) for many years and i dont seem to be making any progress despite how hard i work. i do ok but i expected to be doing better after 30+ years of steady work. i love your content and please keep up the good work!
People are fickle Sarah. I put a lot of research and editing into one video on my channel 10 years ago. It now has only gotten 220 views in all that time. Popularity has little to do with intelligence and wisdom. I must say your channel checks off numerous things on my bucket list I never did myself. I lived in LA 25 years, working under the Hollywood sign, but never hiked there. My late uncle told me many times of his boss in the 40's had a ticket on a flight out of Las Vegas. But Carol Lombard bumped him off the flight, saving his life. That was the crash site YOU hiked to on Petosi Peak in SW Las Vegas. And now I live near Ridgecrest CA and many times drove past a welding shop with beautiful artwork displayed in their parking lot. THAT was the artist YOU interviewed from Ridgecrest. THANK YOU WH for taking the time to do things many of us thought about but never actually completed.
It is the HAIRY ARMPITS....stop with the HAIRY ARMPITS. Over 2,000 years ago the Greek and Roman female statues had no hairy pits, top or bottom. The Hussy is 2,000 years behind times......the Greeks and Romans new what sold then... and it still sells today. Spend $20 and buy an electric razor.
One of my favorite channels. There are few that we / I seach for if its not on the recommendations. Wf / why files,was the Cerro gordo guy,but sort of faded out on that for now,twin tarot, tarot by the bay ,maighstir tarot,somewhat desert treker,a couple other adventure ones.
I appreciate your authenticity. You do a lot of research and it shows. I love your ghost town videos and I have no idea what was wrong with the one where you left Vegas. You're very down to earth and honest, don't change! Continue to be yourself.
You and your sis and bro assisting your mom is what counts. No one will ever know what stipulates the mind as a predictive outcome. Touring LV vids are all enjoyable especially when you interject your life experiences into the script. Being watching since the early Burning Man vid. Stay true to yourself and thank you. On to the next adventure.
Sarah, think of yourself as a “special” acquired taste..and you are so unique and talented..not to mention, highly intelligent! I love your thorough research of locations. To me, it’s so important to listen to the history of the location. Stay positive, don’t change your ways..
A couple things, first off, thanks so much for the You Tube "education" of how it works, that was fascinating. Secondly, please keep doing what you do. The fact that you have 275,000 followers speaks volumes. I love your videos and look forward to each new one. You make your historical, educational road trips interesting and fun. Your "commentary" is so relational and I think that's ONE of the reasons so many of us love you! I truly love your "quirky" (meant in a positive way) personality. I can only speak for myself, but I bet there are many of your loyal followers that find we can live that "free spirit"/you just being you through you. I admire and respect the fact that you're so comfortable with being just who you are, no matter what others may think. As for myself, I find this mindset you have inspirational and I work to get to that point myself. So fortunate to have found your You tube channel and wish you all the very best!
I always look forward to your videos each week, Sarah Jane, and watch each episode from start to finish. The combination of your witty dialogue, the interesting places you visit, and your drive to make fascinating content, is what keeps me coming back to your channel.
Have a old friend in Vegas , told her to watch your stuff for all the cool places in Nevada. Your exploration and background is top notch. Your intelligence is dry and funny.
You may not have a million "come and go like the wind" subscribers However,the loyal high quality of character and devotion of your beloved intellectual subscribers is unparalleled by any other channel!
Sarah, I happened upon your channel a year ago with the Buffalo Bill casino video. I’ve been fascinated ever since! You show the greatest character in helping your mom and that should be commended. Keep doing what you are doing.
Sarah, if you're checking comments on this channel, I originally started watching because I liked seeing old, and not so old, abandoned dwellings. I also like the miner's cabins you visit. Those are my favorite videos!
Same here. Watching her explore long ago abandoned locations out on the middle of nowhere while they are still vertical and not succumbed to the ravishes of time and mother nature are why I subscribed to Sara's channel in the first place.
I always enjoy your videos and I appreciate the fact that you keep them clean and are respectful of your viewers. I do tune in on Wednesday and Fridays and I compared to many other youtubers who try to do what you do - you outclass them. Keep up your clever humor and fun spirit. Be well!
Hi Wonderhussy, I Love your channel! It is interesting, informative and educational. Plus it makes me want to get off my ass and go exploring. Follow your heart, your gut and keep it real just like you are and I will continue to watch the whole video. Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes explanation I of the TH-cam analytics and the red and yellow strikes. I hope to see you again on November 2 !
How I Started My TH-cam Channel was the first one I watched. You are so straight-up and candid. I love your videos. My husband and I watch all the time. Your videos gave us some pointers on places to go when we were in your area. The Salton Sea for one place and it was one of our favorite stops on a 90 day trip out west from SC. We appreciate you. (btw, it was the word Dyke). Keep going girl!
Been watching your videos for a while now . Apparently for Eight years, at age 72 that seems much longer than when I started at 64 . Thanks for describing how TH-cam works. You are lots of fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
Yup, I was looking for a video on them and hers was one of the first ones to pop up in the search listing. Then I got curious and started watching her other ones.
@@machinist7230 I had been following the story from the time it first broke, and the adult Germans were trashed from day one, arrogant drunk Euros expecting a Disney experience in a real-world wilderness that killed their children from their pretension. I bought in. Then there's Sarah expressing sincere empathy for them. I thought, wow, here's someone showing compassion, why aren't I? She presented a different, more human perspective that, if you followed her links, actually led investigators to the remains.
@@davidtaylor5204 I never thought they were arrogant or drunk. I did think they were truly unprepared for the environment they were in, and made some bad decisions that made their situation worse.
You're not doing anything wrong. The sad fact for TH-camrs is that the number of TH-cam channels is proliferating faster than the number of TH-cam watchers. Thus, we are faced with more suggested TH-cam videos everyday. Myself, I have turned on your "notification bell", so that I don't miss any of your episodes. I look forward to your videos each week.
Wrong. As reported in April 2024 there are 4.95 billion viewers on TH-cam and a daily count of 122 million viewers. Do you think there are really more than 4.95 billion content creators? The problem with TH-cam is that viewers are not liking or subscribing to their favorite channels. Likes, and comments drive the TH-cam algorithm and that keeps content creators in recommended feeds. So technically the viewers are actually more responsible for a channel being seen than the creators are.
I loved the Industrial Blvd video. My other favourite was the Grand canyon mushroom video. Generally I like the volunteer cabin videos, loved the Donner party videos and the old mine videos. Actually I watch all your videos to the end and don't get why anyone wouldn't like your videos. You are a great story teller. Keep going and don't worry about chasing views, it will only drive you crazy.
As a fellow Tuber, albeit with a more modest-sized following and a few less years than you into it, we too have noticed dips in 2024. We are also nosy and use analytics programs to analyze views of some of the other channels we follow, and have seen a consistent trend across the board with people in our genre in 2024. Everyone seems to be taking a hit. To me (and the opinion of many others on the internets) is there likely was an algorithm update at some point this year, but of course, us mere mortals are not privy to such things. Second, could be that our market is getting over saturated with too many people doing the same thing, giving us less of the market share. Third, could be in general, people are fatiguing of this sort of content. Another possibility is we now live in an age of short format content, and people are losing their interest for longer format channels like yours and ours. One curiosity I have though is it is clear that TH-cam is injecting waaaay more non-skippable ads, (many minutes worth), in all our videos. Not sure about you, but our analytics show that over half of our audience is watching on televisions, where ad blockers are not a thing, so what I would like to see a breakdown on how the heck that does not only not translate to more revenue for us, but less revenue. I for one am pretty disillusioned by this aspect of TH-cam. Something just does not add up in my mind. Even with the deduction in views, I believe way more ads are shown now, so why not more money? And I get you when you say the videos that we think are tossed together and not so good end up being among the best performing ones. We have that happen all the time. At any rate, you have life-long fans over here, and you won't lose our viewership so long as you keep doing what you do! 😃
Excellent comment ive got no idea but concerned for my obscure vid makers how they can survive and see so many changes to the game in last 8yrs since got into watching YT
Even though I've been a subscriber to your channel for years and used to have it pop up in TH-cam's recommendations every time you post a new video, TH-cam seemed to have stopped promoting them. This video got promoted for some reason (which is surprising, given that it's complaining about TH-cam), so here I am watching it as a faithful viewer. I'm not sure anyone can figure out TH-cam. You'd think that by subscribing to a channel, its videos would always be promoted in the recommendations.
Howdy Sarah, Always a pleasure, you do you, I will follow. Right now we are awaiting land fall of a Cat 4 Hurricane by the name of Milton, right on the heels of Helene, jeezzzz Anyway, Thanks for sharing, I watch em all since I have found you, you are one of the few I it the like button as soon as you come on, occasionally I go back in your library to see what's there. Don't let the internet bullies bother you, haters gonna hate, the faceless ones have no courage when confronted face to face. Most are 40 years old still living in moms basement. Stay positive and spontaneous, you are so full of life and I bet a hoot to hang out with, Stay safe young lady, glad to see you back home for a bit.
I think your content is awesome and has been so for a long time. I love your visits to out-of-the-way destinations, hot springs, parks, and small old towns in the CA and NV mountain areas.
I love the one legged miner laughing it up with you! He is HUMBLE and very kind. The people you mingle with can hurt business. Stay focused. Really enjoy your vids for real.
@@SaintsPurgatory NO, that is NOT true, they have to purchase 2, same as you and me. SOMETIMES, they find a great friend that likes the same shoe, boots, etc., then they can split the difference. RARE to find.
ok hussy you pulled on my hearstrings just right i guess. i've been watching you for several years now so i figured the LEAST i could do is to FINALLY subscribe so you get my count too. keep up the good work. i love your vids!
Your videos at home are actually really entertaining-I’m sure people will watch anything you do-even opening your mail for all your fans to see-or what about cool food spots? No matter what you are an inspiration!! 😊
@@IronBlockChefI think she mentioned that she doesn't go over her comments or respond to them in one video. My opinion is that these are your "fans" and they have the power to make or break a person's popularity.
I enjoy the content that you make with the Historical content,learn something new every time.Not really into the feet,the pits or the skinny dipping. However to each their own .I did stop at the Wal Mart in question in Hurricane during the week and it was full of FLDS women, rather interesting! Keep on making whatever suits you ,it really keeps us entertained!
It just goes to show you...being an interesting person does not always guarantee lots of views. Having something interesting to say or show doesn't guarantee lots of views. That said, you are not doing anything wrong. Your content is great. Love your stuff.
Well Sarah I'm pretty sure I've watched All your videos and I will watch all the videos you make in the future you're super fun, super cute and super interesting and finally totally entertaining! Thank You for bringing a little joy to my life every week and keep up the great work ❤
I actually found and subscribed to your channel based on your third most watched video. It's a really cool video, especially for anyone curious to learn more about the Las Vegas Strip area. Love your work, Queen. X
This was very interesting, thanks for taking us behind the scenes. The youtube formula is very tough to figure out, especially for us with small channels. Getting to hear from a Pro is pretty amazing. I imagine this video will do well for you. Keep up the good work I always enjoy your content.
Personally, I watch your channel because of your personality and the interesting historical and weird places you find. You are doing what I wish I could do and just wander the West in search of scenery and history. Keep it up.
Wanderhussy you just stay true to yourself and you’ll be just fine. You are honest about your life and that’s what counts the most - and you are very kind and I definitely like your quirky side! So just keep doing what you do❤️😊
Started watching a few years ago. I really appreciate what you do for your community. e.g., helping puppies find homes, lost people, etc. BTW I too am from San Jose and have a strong hunch your mom is living in Pine Acres in Pine Grove. My grandparents and my mom both had weekend houses there. I remember when Indian Grinding Rock in Volcano was free and open (not a park) and when Jackson got its first movie theaters when I was 14. Jackson didn't even have fast food until I was in high school. The area has grown so much.
Wonder Huss, I love you but I tend to not watch any episodes which involves you interviewing people. I find the people whom you feature in those videos very fascinating. But I get frustrated because you don't give them a chance to tell their stories. You constantly interrupt them during the interview process. Please let them tell their stories and let the process flow naturally. Don't interject, don't interrupt, and most importantly, let them speak. Also when interviewing someone, you don't need to be seen, let the subject have the spotlight. Anyways it's just my opinion..keep growing and I'll keep watching. Thanks!!
I do apologize that I don't comment much but I do watch every New video and have for a few years. I travel with you and your adventures to see the sights and learn some history. Thanks for all the video / edit work. best of Luck and Skill Always.
Yes Sarah you are correct. I love the truth you deliver on your Chanel. Can’t stand Main stream anything anymore. It’s all just lies. Try to keep doing what you are doing. Like you said “money isn’t everything”. You are beautiful and truthful. Don’t let TH-cam drag you down.
I appreciate that you don't resort to shameless click baiting titles for your videos and tell your travel stories without a lot of rambling dialogue. Clear, concise, and to the point with great video quality - thanks. I will admit that, as a subscriber, I sometimes used to forget to give each video a thumbs up so I now do it automatically as an indicator that I watched.
Hey everybody, let's all go and select the Arm Pit shaving tutorial since WH says it is not demonetized and get her a bigger pay day so she can help her Mom out a bit more. You don't have to watch if you don't want to just let it play all the way through. I am going right after this video ends and I might play it everyday for a while. We love you WH pit kittens and all.
I don't think I watch your videos because of the thumb nails. I watch them because I have been watching you for many years and know I like your videos. You always put a smile on my face. Some times I just laugh out loud. keep up the good work and thank you. Dave
Two tips: (in my opinion, which ain't worth salt) : Keep videos under 15 to 20 minutes, because there is just so much content on YT to watch, and 2. We are finding "straight talk", with NO Political Correctness", much more appealing. We like it when you call an ace an ace, and a spade a spade! And finally, your're a cutie, keep that visual alive and well. We love you little miss Sarah!!
I've always thought the German Tourists was your best video. That's how I first found your channel, and I've been hooked ever since. You did the the best job of anyone on TH-cam telling their tragic story, and actually got out there to show us much of their route. That was actually a solid piece of journalism, and I never forget that as I continue to love your channel.
Aww ❤ you’re fine. It’s not easy having to help our parents as they get older. These kind of videos are fun too. I always enjoy listening to you. talk about all kind of things.
Its their loss, for not watching or subscribing , I can not imagine that has a thing to do with the name of your channel or anything to do with your body. People are just different I watch every video and enjoy and love each one! I have learned about places that I did not know existed!! In my opinion for what its worth you are amazing smart, interesting and easy on my old eyes!! Keep up the hard work everyone that is subscribed to your channel loves you and enjoys your hard work!!!
I've been watching your channel for about 5 years now and I love it. The content, the production, etc, it's all excellent. One of my favorite parts of all you're videos is the fact that you haven't gone down the "sponsor" road and that, unfortunately, is a double-edged sword. It's refreshing to be able to watch a video without hearing the old, "But first let me tell you about blah, blah, blah, the sponsor of this video." The downside, though, is that's where a lot of the bigger youtube "personalities" make a lot of their money...or so I understand. I'll be honest, I wouldn't blame you one bit for going down the sponsor road to make better money...hell, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'd definitely still watch your videos if you did. But again, it's definitely refreshing to be able to enjoy the content without the sales pitch. Whatever you choose, you have a subscriber for life here. Keep up the great work. Oh, and Elvis, the puppy says Hi! He loved seeing himself in the helicopter in your video 😊
Thanks for sharing your trials of youtubing. To tell the truth, I think you have a gift for making dynamic videos. You are interesting and entertaining. Keep going. I look forward to every new video you make.
I don’t understand why you’re not growing faster. You are funny and informative, especially when you’re in some unknown backwater place. Another guy I watch German in Venice did a series of videos about revisiting places he lived and got a crazy amount of views on that. You should try that - go back to previous places you’ve lived and maybe interview people you knew back then.
Love your channel!! I’ve been watching for several years now and even binge watched your videos to keep me company while I was in labor having my daughter last year. I think you’re an inspiration and I SO appreciate the love and energy you put into your content! ❤

Absolutely perfect comment. SJ is a standard that many others should aspire to.
Absolutely!!
Agreed!
Years ago, this channel just showed up in recommended. I’ve been watching since. I get all your notifications.

Maybe if she replied to a few comments it would help her channel. I believe she does read them all though.
Same here. Watching her explore long ago abandoned locations out on the middle of nowhere while they are still vertical and not succumbed to the ravishes of time and mother nature are why I subscribed to Sara's channel in the first place.
Mine too.
@@hydro2wheel Too much of that already out there. And the vandals and developers have ruined most of what was left. Preserve history y'all..
Being honest here. My friends have told me it's the armpit hair.i don't care, watched yrs. But turnoff for them esp. the men.
I always enjoy your videos and I appreciate the fact that you keep them clean and are respectful of your viewers. I do tune in on Wednesday and Fridays and I compared to many other youtubers who try to do what you do - you outclass them. Keep up your clever humor and fun spirit. Be well!
Wednesday is my favorite TH-cam day BECAUSE of Wonderhussy ❤
@@TurnipGreen Hopefully then Friday is you second favorite day as she posts on that day too.
Hi Wonderhussy,
I Love your channel! It is interesting, informative and educational. Plus it makes me want to get off my ass and go exploring. Follow your heart, your gut and keep it real just like you are and I will continue to watch the whole video. Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes explanation I of the TH-cam analytics and the red and yellow strikes. I hope to see you again on November 2 !
How I Started My TH-cam Channel was the first one I watched. You are so straight-up and candid. I love your videos. My husband and I watch all the time. Your videos gave us some pointers on places to go when we were in your area. The Salton Sea for one place and it was one of our favorite stops on a 90 day trip out west from SC. We appreciate you. (btw, it was the word Dyke). Keep going girl!
Been watching your videos for a while now . Apparently for Eight years, at age 72 that seems much longer than when I started at 64 . Thanks for describing how TH-cam works.
You are lots of fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
Your not doing anything wrong Girl! Its the times were going through, You have class and personality. Footprints in the sand Girl Much Love!
Your Death Valley Germans video was the one that got me hooked.
Yup, I was looking for a video on them and hers was one of the first ones to pop up in the search listing. Then I got curious and started watching her other ones.
@@machinist7230 I had been following the story from the time it first broke, and the adult Germans were trashed from day one, arrogant drunk Euros expecting a Disney experience in a real-world wilderness that killed their children from their pretension. I bought in. Then there's Sarah expressing sincere empathy for them. I thought, wow, here's someone showing compassion, why aren't I? She presented a different, more human perspective that, if you followed her links, actually led investigators to the remains.
@@davidtaylor5204 I never thought they were arrogant or drunk. I did think they were truly unprepared for the environment they were in, and made some bad decisions that made their situation worse.
You are entertaining and educational. You offer a unique perspective to the world. the cream always rises to the top. keep being you
I'm surprised too, you've been at 275k for 2 years.??? you're one of my favorite youtubers.
I look down and see 72,000 views in one day… I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. I think you’re doing absolutely fabulous! 😊❤🎉
You're not doing anything wrong. The sad fact for TH-camrs is that the number of TH-cam channels is proliferating faster than the number of TH-cam watchers. Thus, we are faced with more suggested TH-cam videos everyday. Myself, I have turned on your "notification bell", so that I don't miss any of your episodes. I look forward to your videos each week.
Wrong. As reported in April 2024 there are 4.95 billion viewers on TH-cam and a daily count of 122 million viewers. Do you think there are really more than 4.95 billion content creators? The problem with TH-cam is that viewers are not liking or subscribing to their favorite channels. Likes, and comments drive the TH-cam algorithm and that keeps content creators in recommended feeds. So technically the viewers are actually more responsible for a channel being seen than the creators are.
A breath of fresh air Keep on being you. A ten thousand mile journey starts with the first step
The Hollywood Sign video was one of my favorites !
Mine too love Mike!
There are so many great Wonder hussy ( hussy gets an E-Bike etc.) videos, Impossible to pick a favorite!!¡
I always wondered how I wound up at the Griffith observatory when looking for the Hollywood sign. Now I know.
That was good- ❤ Mike Z
mine too!
been watching you on and off for the last 5 years.. didnt realize i wasnt subscribed.. fixed that today.. i like your vibe..
LOL. You are such a hoot. I love the WonderHistory episodes, Donner Party being my fave. Keep doing you!
I loved the Industrial Blvd video. My other favourite was the Grand canyon mushroom video. Generally I like the volunteer cabin videos, loved the Donner party videos and the old mine videos. Actually I watch all your videos to the end and don't get why anyone wouldn't like your videos. You are a great story teller. Keep going and don't worry about chasing views, it will only drive you crazy.
as I exit I wanted to let you know I gave you a thumbs 👍 up…. Everyone do the same. Give her those positive TH-cam spirits !
I usually watch your videos all the way to the end
As a fellow Tuber, albeit with a more modest-sized following and a few less years than you into it, we too have noticed dips in 2024. We are also nosy and use analytics programs to analyze views of some of the other channels we follow, and have seen a consistent trend across the board with people in our genre in 2024. Everyone seems to be taking a hit. To me (and the opinion of many others on the internets) is there likely was an algorithm update at some point this year, but of course, us mere mortals are not privy to such things. Second, could be that our market is getting over saturated with too many people doing the same thing, giving us less of the market share. Third, could be in general, people are fatiguing of this sort of content. Another possibility is we now live in an age of short format content, and people are losing their interest for longer format channels like yours and ours. One curiosity I have though is it is clear that TH-cam is injecting waaaay more non-skippable ads, (many minutes worth), in all our videos. Not sure about you, but our analytics show that over half of our audience is watching on televisions, where ad blockers are not a thing, so what I would like to see a breakdown on how the heck that does not only not translate to more revenue for us, but less revenue. I for one am pretty disillusioned by this aspect of TH-cam. Something just does not add up in my mind. Even with the deduction in views, I believe way more ads are shown now, so why not more money? And I get you when you say the videos that we think are tossed together and not so good end up being among the best performing ones. We have that happen all the time. At any rate, you have life-long fans over here, and you won't lose our viewership so long as you keep doing what you do! 😃
Excellent comment ive got no idea but concerned for my obscure vid makers how they can survive and see so many changes to the game in last 8yrs since got into watching YT
Even though I've been a subscriber to your channel for years and used to have it pop up in TH-cam's recommendations every time you post a new video, TH-cam seemed to have stopped promoting them. This video got promoted for some reason (which is surprising, given that it's complaining about TH-cam), so here I am watching it as a faithful viewer. I'm not sure anyone can figure out TH-cam. You'd think that by subscribing to a channel, its videos would always be promoted in the recommendations.
Howdy Sarah, Always a pleasure, you do you, I will follow. Right now we are awaiting land fall of a Cat 4 Hurricane by the name of Milton, right on the heels of Helene, jeezzzz Anyway, Thanks for sharing, I watch em all since I have found you, you are one of the few I it the like button as soon as you come on, occasionally I go back in your library to see what's there. Don't let the internet bullies bother you, haters gonna hate, the faceless ones have no courage when confronted face to face. Most are 40 years old still living in moms basement. Stay positive and spontaneous, you are so full of life and I bet a hoot to hang out with, Stay safe young lady, glad to see you back home for a bit.
I think your content is awesome and has been so for a long time. I love your visits to out-of-the-way destinations, hot springs, parks, and small old towns in the CA and NV mountain areas.
I love the one legged miner laughing it up with you! He is HUMBLE and very kind. The people you mingle with can hurt business. Stay focused. Really enjoy your vids for real.
think you mean 'miner' rather than 'minor'....a one-legged child doesn't sound too funny :)
@@violethart61 haha! 😂😂😂😂 sorry! Yep!
@@violethart61 corrected! 🤣🤣
@@violethart61 hey a one legged minor would save money in buying shoes.
@@SaintsPurgatory NO, that is NOT true, they have to purchase 2, same as you and me. SOMETIMES, they find a great friend that likes the same shoe, boots, etc., then they can split the difference. RARE to find.
I'm still cracking up, never would have guessed the pit video, oohhhhh that was funny
You keep being you. We enjoy what you bring to this world 🤘
Every time you think you're having a rough time, please remember that it would be MUCH more difficult in "traditional" media. 🙂 Keep up the good work!
ok hussy you pulled on my hearstrings just right i guess. i've been watching you for several years now so i figured the LEAST i could do is to FINALLY subscribe so you get my count too. keep up the good work. i love your vids!
You are a hard worker and passionate and funny and determined. Keep the faith. Love
Great video! I’ve wondered how the whole thing works, thanks for your fabulous explanation! 😊
Your videos at home are actually really entertaining-I’m sure people will watch anything you do-even opening your mail for all your fans to see-or what about cool food spots? No matter what you are an inspiration!! 😊
Love what u do!! Keep doing what you do.
Sorry I will never see your number one viewed video , but I love your exploring videos . Stay cool !
You should list the under watched but monetized videos in the description or pinned comment so we can check these out!
Not even a thanks from her, that’s what I was talking about
@@IronBlockChefI think she mentioned that she doesn't go over her comments or respond to them in one video. My opinion is that these are your "fans" and they have the power to make or break a person's popularity.
@@toymaster5464 Yeah, well, when the subject of a video is to pose a question, you might want to glance at a few answers?
I enjoy the content that you make with the Historical content,learn something new every time.Not really into the feet,the pits or the skinny dipping. However to each their own .I did stop at the Wal Mart in question in Hurricane during the week and it was full of FLDS women, rather interesting! Keep on making whatever suits you ,it really keeps us entertained!
My wife and I look forward to your videos. We love your exploring and history of the desert.
I watch your videos because you are an excellent storyteller and I can tell you do your research, that and you would make an awesome neighbor.
It just goes to show you...being an interesting person does not always guarantee lots of views. Having something interesting to say or show doesn't guarantee lots of views. That said, you are not doing anything wrong. Your content is great. Love your stuff.
Well Sarah I'm pretty sure I've watched All your videos and I will watch all the videos you make in the future you're super fun, super cute and super interesting and finally totally entertaining! Thank You for bringing a little joy to my life every week and keep up the great work ❤
I actually found and subscribed to your channel based on your third most watched video. It's a really cool video, especially for anyone curious to learn more about the Las Vegas Strip area. Love your work, Queen. X
You are intelligent, kind, honest, and a wonderful adventure lady. I watch your videos whenever I can.
This was very interesting, thanks for taking us behind the scenes. The youtube formula is very tough to figure out, especially for us with small channels. Getting to hear from a Pro is pretty amazing. I imagine this video will do well for you. Keep up the good work I always enjoy your content.
Well missy, I never miss watching any of your videos.
I liked the Hollywood sign adventure video. Great video
Personally, I watch your channel because of your personality and the interesting historical and weird places you find. You are doing what I wish I could do and just wander the West in search of scenery and history. Keep it up.
Mike Z is great. I watch his stuff and love it when he pops up here.
I love your channel!! Keep up the good work. ❤️
Wanderhussy you just stay true to yourself and you’ll be just fine. You are honest about your life and that’s what counts the most - and you are very kind and I definitely like your quirky side! So just keep doing what you do❤️😊
I am a old man and I enjoy all of your videos. So just keep up with what you are doing and I will be here watching😍
Started watching a few years ago. I really appreciate what you do for your community. e.g., helping puppies find homes, lost people, etc. BTW I too am from San Jose and have a strong hunch your mom is living in Pine Acres in Pine Grove. My grandparents and my mom both had weekend houses there. I remember when Indian Grinding Rock in Volcano was free and open (not a park) and when Jackson got its first movie theaters when I was 14. Jackson didn't even have fast food until I was in high school. The area has grown so much.
You shows another calm and Nice places around West Coast and deserts.. I Love it.. So different!!❤❤
Probably because it’s hard to find your fantastic channel buried amongst the millions of crappy ones
I like your real, authentic self and different perspectives on things
EXCEPT...she let the underarm jungle grow back . UGH !
Wonder Huss, I love you but I tend to not watch any episodes which involves you interviewing people. I find the people whom you feature in those videos very fascinating. But I get frustrated because you don't give them a chance to tell their stories. You constantly interrupt them during the interview process. Please let them tell their stories and let the process flow naturally. Don't interject, don't interrupt, and most importantly, let them speak. Also when interviewing someone, you don't need to be seen, let the subject have the spotlight. Anyways it's just my opinion..keep growing and I'll keep watching. Thanks!!
I do apologize that I don't comment much but I do watch every New video and have for a few years. I travel with you and your adventures to see the sights and learn some history. Thanks for all the video / edit work. best of Luck and Skill Always.
Dang! The Basque tree carving was my fav! I laughed the whole time...
Yes Sarah you are correct. I love the truth you deliver on your Chanel. Can’t stand Main stream anything anymore. It’s all just lies. Try to keep doing what you are doing. Like you said “money isn’t everything”. You are beautiful and truthful. Don’t let TH-cam drag you down.
I appreciate that you don't resort to shameless click baiting titles for your videos and tell your travel stories without a lot of rambling dialogue. Clear, concise, and to the point with great video quality - thanks. I will admit that, as a subscriber, I sometimes used to forget to give each video a thumbs up so I now do it automatically as an indicator that I watched.
Hey everybody, let's all go and select the Arm Pit shaving tutorial since WH says it is not demonetized and get her a bigger pay day so she can help her Mom out a bit more. You don't have to watch if you don't want to just let it play all the way through. I am going right after this video ends and I might play it everyday for a while. We love you WH pit kittens and all.
LOL
Okay. I visited and watched the video from beginning to end. I hope it helps.
I second that, comment and share it outside of TH-cam or on TH-cam
SAVE THE HAIR!!!
SHAVE THE HAIR!
You need to copy the Huel Houser menu. Go to interesting places and talk with people. You are special and gifted.
Blessings Sarah ❤
I don't think I watch your videos because of the thumb nails. I watch them because I have been watching you for many years and know I like your videos. You always put a smile on my face. Some times I just laugh out loud. keep up the good work and thank you. Dave
You gotta’ admit your Unique 😜⚡️⚡️⚡️🎧🍂🧡🍁
Two tips: (in my opinion, which ain't worth salt) : Keep videos under 15 to 20 minutes, because there is just so much content on YT to watch, and 2. We are finding "straight talk", with NO Political Correctness", much more appealing. We like it when you call an ace an ace, and a spade a spade! And finally, your're a cutie, keep that visual alive and well. We love you little miss Sarah!!
I've always thought the German Tourists was your best video. That's how I first found your channel, and I've been hooked ever since. You did the the best job of anyone on TH-cam telling their tragic story, and actually got out there to show us much of their route. That was actually a solid piece of journalism, and I never forget that as I continue to love your channel.
Aww ❤ you’re fine. It’s not easy having to help our parents as they get older. These kind of videos are fun too. I always enjoy listening to you. talk about all kind of things.
Its their loss, for not watching or subscribing , I can not imagine that has a thing to do with the name of your channel or anything to do with your body. People are just different I watch every video and enjoy and love each one! I have learned about places that I did not know existed!! In my opinion for what its worth you are amazing smart, interesting and easy on my old eyes!! Keep up the hard work everyone that is subscribed to your channel loves you and enjoys your hard work!!!
I've been watching your channel for about 5 years now and I love it. The content, the production, etc, it's all excellent. One of my favorite parts of all you're videos is the fact that you haven't gone down the "sponsor" road and that, unfortunately, is a double-edged sword. It's refreshing to be able to watch a video without hearing the old, "But first let me tell you about blah, blah, blah, the sponsor of this video." The downside, though, is that's where a lot of the bigger youtube "personalities" make a lot of their money...or so I understand. I'll be honest, I wouldn't blame you one bit for going down the sponsor road to make better money...hell, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I'd definitely still watch your videos if you did. But again, it's definitely refreshing to be able to enjoy the content without the sales pitch. Whatever you choose, you have a subscriber for life here. Keep up the great work. Oh, and Elvis, the puppy says Hi! He loved seeing himself in the helicopter in your video 😊
Desert exploration and ghost town videos do well.
Thanks
Sara, you are not doing anything wrong. Please keep doing what you've been doing for years!
Thanks for sharing your trials of youtubing. To tell the truth, I think you have a gift for making dynamic videos. You are interesting and entertaining. Keep going. I look forward to every new video you make.
I love your adventures. Fun to see places where I’ll never get to, even if I knew how to get there.😉
Your authenticity is the best!💖💖
I don’t understand why you’re not growing faster. You are funny and informative, especially when you’re in some unknown backwater place. Another guy I watch German in Venice did a series of videos about revisiting places he lived and got a crazy amount of views on that. You should try that - go back to previous places you’ve lived and maybe interview people you knew back then.
Love your channel!!
I’ve been watching for several years now and even binge watched your videos to keep me company while I was in labor having my daughter last year.
I think you’re an inspiration and I SO appreciate the love and energy you put into your content! ❤
I, ABSOLUTELY, love your channel, Wonderhussy!
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Your #3 Vegas video is one of my FAVORITES! I have actually watched it more than once.
