I really enjoy the direction you've taken the channel, giving us raw and real talks with some of our well known supercell youtubers. Thank you for keep doing what you love to do!
Personally, I'm fine with you no longer uploading top decks etc Clash content - we all have to evolve and move on from things. However, I would love a state of the game type of video every now and again. You have so much knowledge of the history of the game and you offer such an unbiased yet straight to the point outlook.
I play when on the toilet, in a waiting room for an appointment or for a flight and on a flight, when I get downtime at work, when bored I’m somewhere I don’t wanna be or when on a lunch break. Point is I use it to kill time. Idc if I win or lose and I sure as hell would never spend money on this game ever again
Been watching you for ages, I stopped playing clash a couple years ago so the change in direction of the channel is actually welcome for me 😅, really interesting style of videos in my opinion. Love the raid channels and watcher channel as well 👍. The divergence from just gaming content may lose a lot of view but I think a lot of us really just enjoy having such a real down to earth cc to watch no matter the content.
I respect the new direction you're pushing your channel in, Ash! It's always nice to get special interviews with other great creators, and it's a more mature approach to content creation (which is reflective of who you've slowly become imo). That being said, I hope CR will always have a special place in your heart! We should do another Broken Podcast sometime :)
I'm sure i don't represent the majority of your watch base but I'm 27 and have a family and I liked the philosophy video. The interviews are hit or miss depending on the person. I liked the chess interview. However, I'm here for whatever you put on the channel and am eager to see what you have in the works ❤
Idk how long since I've not watched you video. I left clash since the first ever season pass but I still watched your videos, but eventually I grew out of the game, clash royale didn't excite me anymore. Recently I've been seeing that clash royales comments are filled with dead game comments and I wondered what happened. I immediately opened your channel but i see you've moved on yourself. Idk how to feel about this. You made my teenage years when I was in highschool. I learnt a lot from you in game and as well as in real life I aspired to be humble and fun person like you who was devoted to a community and I still aspire to do that. I am really thankful for everyone you've taught me and entertained me for so many years. While yes I feel a bit sad that a big part of my childhood is no more as it was but I'm really glad you've found your way and are continuing on it. Towards the time when I left I was frustrated with the game and was rather becoming angry while playing it rather than having fun. I wish no one ever faces such a thing. Games are for fun. I really pray Ash that whatever you do ahead and are doing, you have fun atleast. This is something I kinda observed from you during my teenage days watching your videos and deck showcases, that if you have fun with deck go play it, meta and people should never stop you from having fun. I applied this irl and i do things that are fun to me and brings me joy. So whatever you do Ash have fun. Best wishes for you and your family. I'm sure your son is all grown up now and is lucky to have such an amazing father. Thank You Also on a side note you look a lot fit and muscular and handsome.
I love the direction your channel has taken! I've been with you ever since clash royale came out and it's been quite a journey. Even though I quit the game a few years back, I still come back and watch you from time to time. It sucks to see the decline in popularity with content lately but hey, you can only go up from here :) Also, I would try experimenting with YT Shorts as an outlet for the juicy parts of the interviews, almost like little clips! Love you Ash ♥️
I don't comment often but I want you to know something very important. Clash royale was an addiction of mine, even after all the horrible decisions I kept playing, even tho I hated it and it screwed with my head. And tbh you leaving made me realize how horrible the game actually is and how horrible my mental state was. I left and my life improved and it's all thanks to your coverage.
I was an active player for 6 years, and for a long time the game was actually very fun. But you can only make so many shit updates in a row before you lose even your most dedicated players. I haven't played since I tried the evolution update for about a week, and I don't think I'll ever return
I always loved listening to you talking about gameplay just as I study or work on any project. Love your vibe and would like to see more of the old content while keeping the current interview kind of content.
Man ash i can scroll through 1000 videos and not click on a simgle one but when i see yours i get this feeling of needing to click because when i listen to you its like im having a conversation and its personal. Will always support you ash!
Hey, Ash! I’ve been watching the channel on and off for the last 3 years or so. I’ve also been playing Clash Royale for the last 6 years or so, although very infrequently recently. One thing about your videos I’ve always liked it your earnest approach to learning new strategies and ways forward in games. As such, I’d like to see you try new games on multiple platforms, perhaps in an effort to showcase the beginner experience to your audience. Maybe this would even help with some advertisement deals. If I had to recommend a game to start with, I might say Age of Empires 4, or another RTS. I for one would love to see someone tenacious like yourself take the plunge into a new game genre. All that said, thanks for reading this if you have the time, and I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with in the future.
Tbh I haven't been watching any of the interviews uploaded recently. I'll still stay subbed but maybe wait for content more appealing to me. Will check out your other gaming channel though.
Im still around and still here for it all. Im here for you as a person Ash the content you make has always been interesting. I havent launched Clash Royale in years but still gonna stay watching you.
I subscribed back when you were pushing hard with splashyard on CR. I really like your personality and transparency. I think a great medium would be to play a game in the background and talk about these topics as you play. I saw a video where a guy was talking about topics while playing Destiny 2 and found that easier to engage in.
Hey Ash! Wanted to add my two cents, although its not on the community tab maybe you read this. For me, personally, I always enjoyed watching your CR content, new decks, fun combos, perhaps something broken or new meta. Your passion for the game kept me playing for a long time. Since you've quit, I've also given up on CR. I'm thinking maybe I'll give your new channel a look for a new game that you are excited about. Or have you thought about COC content? I've picked that up again after quitting CR and been having some fun getting back into it however educational and thorough content is few and far in between. The way you explained things just always made sense.
Funny thing. Most youtubers and players raged on social media about the direction the game has gone, stil, the game is having great revenues lately. So, basically, 95% of people that raged keeps playing and buying that scam called diamond pass.
I actually like the interviews with content creators. I think you are a good interviewer. I play clash of clans but quit clash royale. I would like to see more clash of clans youtubers in your channel. Keep up the good work.
Ash I absolutely love you, been watching you across my 3 YT accounts for 3 years now. The nicest, most genuine guy on the platform as far as i'm concerned. You just do what makes you happy and I'll stay subbed ❤️❤️❤️
You used to make a 20 minute video about balance changes, that took about 45 seconds this video. Love seeing the difference in mindset where you seem more chilled out and relaxed, less pressure to make content
Hello Ash, thank you for always uploading and never giving up, I have started watching you since you started playing clash of clans and clash royale and then,because of your videos I was able go be a better clash royale player, through pro tips and your effort to host the pros so that we can get a taste of how a pro plays ! I have stopped playing clash royale 2 months ago and I don't feel motivated at all to play it again , although my account is fully maxed out level 14. I feel your frustration and I would like to share some suggestions with you.
ive been watching since day 1 basically, ash i think i speak for most people when i say that the best moments of this channel was you rambling or doing commentary style videos with gameplay in the background. most of us enjoy watching you play and especially your commentary. best of luck to anything you do man
I like all your video's regardless of what they're about, you almost always choose something insightful to make a video about, so i wouldn't worry too much. Just make vids about stuff you're enthousiastic about and we will be too.
I haven’t watched you since you dropped clash Royale content tbh. I’m glad you’re doing what you want to do and your opinion is all that matters, me viewing or not
I have been watching your contents for years and honestly clash royale is the sole reason for that but time's change and so should we your podcast really motivate and encourage me and i'm thankful for that so regardless what others may say you should continue with your current direction of the channel
Hey Ash. I just wanted to say I’ve been watching since 2017, and even though I quit about a year ago because of the state of the game but I still catch a video from you here or there. I use to watch you every day after school, never stop doing what you do.
Clash Royale is why I subscribed, you are why I stayed. Cover any supercell game you like whenever you like, although I would not care for any other mobile game personally. Need to watch some of the interviews.
bro. please dont be wimpy and say you dont want to talk about "sensitive topics", this is your channel, 99 percent of people will still understand your position if you speak competently and just express yourself. do what you want ! and speak about more real things.. thanks!
You can call it "wimpy" if you want. When I'm getting harassing phone calls, doxed, death threats, etc. and I have a family, it's a considerattion. It's hard to understand the serious toll that can take on everyone (not just me) until it's a reality. There are a lot of sick people out there... That being said, your point is still well taken. I will continue to talk about serious topics, of course. But some are probably better left untouched. Perhaps I didn't do a good job of articulating that point in the video. Let me give you an example. I have some strong views on the current situation with Israel, Hamas and Palestine. Despite my passionate views, it's an incredibly divisive topic that I frankly don't think I have much to add to the conversation. So when I say I'll stay away from some sensitive topics that I'm very much interested in, that's sort of what I'm talking about. Hope that clears things up and thanks for the comment!
@@ChatWithAsh maybe don’t talk about the super duper controversial topics, your family and your safety should be the priority. Unfortunately there are sicko’s out there
Here are some ideas, that most probably will be ignored: Post a weekly SuperCell news video. Content: Latest news from each SuperCell game while also mentioning interesting or unique videos from other content creators, such as: OJ tombstone mode test run, SirTagCR tips for X challenge, JuicyJ 24 hours Clash Royale marathon. New seasons preview (from the developer account). Maybe cover Warcraft Rumble when it launches, to attract a new audience or just feature something different than Clash Royale? Or maybe cover mobile gaming news in general? Short 1 minute highlights of the latest news. Or make a video about in-game monetization schemes and psychologyy behind it? How it is thought and how it tricks people into spending real money for unlocking certain benefits in the game. Teach the audience about the way games are thought. This can also cover PC games. For example Baldur's gate success without monetization.
TH-cam should pay for comments since nowadays people engage in more down there than up there in the views at least on certain type of content. Just thinking out loud, don't mind me if I sounded a bit crazy 😅
Ash for this channel you have changed the direction to what you are passionate about. I have skipped multiple interviews you have done mainly because I really wasn’t interested in those people. I have watched the ones I wanted to see. Regardless I support you creating content you are passionate about and if you keep creating content it will continue to grow. This is regardless if it is the content specifically for me or not.
I would love more collabs with MOLT. You have great chemistry together (debating from different perspectives). The conversation about religion and life perspective was so good, i didn’t want the conversation to end!
Tbh I've just been putting on the podcast on in the background while I do something in the kitchen or if I'm just working and it's been pretty good honestly, I've been watching since the coc vids you used to post all those years ago (my friend suggested I watch you to get better at the game cause I sucked ass back then xD) but yeah haven't played any cr or coc in a long time but I always enjoy the content you put out my man
7:57 not a big hit if you have a good tax guy, ash. :) I have a great tax guy and he really helps at the end of the year! I own a business though not a TH-cam channel so I suppose it may be harder to take losses on TH-cam than in a physical business.
ive been with you since you got princess first time, so loonggg time ago!!! , im playing clash royal a bit again now, full 2 years of raid, and now watcher , we are ash fans
You’re articulate and charismatic, I think you’re in the zone when you are running commentary! have you considered a sports channel, MMA that kind of thing?
What if Clash Mini goes global soon and you love it? I mean... you can translate an insanely bigger % of your viewers towards that content. See how many people follow Clash Royale without playing or giving a check to decide if they pick it back up or not.. Clash Mini will be the perfect replacement. Honestly it would be super exciting watching you make your OG content interviewing pros and stuff but for a new game like Clash Mini.
Ash, people will always respect passion of an individual. Speak to your heart and people will love you. You were my favorite cr creator because of your character. If you follow your interests, people will care
I say do what makes you happy. I do like the interviews, maybe play against them when you interview to spice things up. Make it like a Hot Ones but with s clash wrapper, haha. Thanks for keeping it real Ash!
Love you ash. I’d go crazy if I had to make clash content for a month, let alone years. Glad you’ve rediscovered content you enjoy producing Edit: we’re not clash fans, we’re Ash fans. And I’m here for your takes on ethics and philosophy. Godspeed brotha 💫
I was a fan of the game when it first came out, but dropped the game just before champions were released. To me it just got to be too much about spending too stay competitive and have a good deck rather then doing good with a fun deck. I personally have always been a fan of you, regardless of my interest in clash royale (and to an extent clash of clans and brawl stars). I have continued to watch your videos because I enjoy your opinions, perspective, and thoughts on the topics you come talk about. I haven't been the biggest fan of most of your interview videos, partly because I'm not a fan of the interviewee. I would enjoy you talking about any topic that you want honestly, even if you started to just pick a topic in the news every so often and give your take on it. I think you are a great creator and would love to see what you do next!
Hey Ash! While I do admit that I don’t watch all of these videos, if I see someone I recognize (which I’ll touch on later), I’ll watch the video because I want to know about the person (even if it’s not clash). I admire you for going and doing what you love, even if it’s tanking in comparison. I do miss your past content but if it’s what you love, do it! I don’t watch the videos really anymore because well there longer or I just have no clue who they are (and play more then supercell games). One suggestion for a later interview, because of comments in videos prior, is Crusher21. I’d be curious if you would do one with him. Cheers and good luck everything! (I’m still subbed btw if that means anything)
Brother I've been watching you since early clash royale days. I know I'm not alone when I say that i've always watched this channel for you and your charisma, not just what you upload. You just seem to have such an approachable demeanor. That said, I think this format of you doing interviews, or just being able to be yourself fits your style perfectly. I can envision (and would love to see) you interviewing the likes of people like Dr. Disrespect, Mr. Beast, and other huge names. I think you should let your personality shine more in them. All that said, I look forward to every upload man.
Miss you on Clash Royal, Mr. Ash. I have come here a few times in the last couple of months to see if you had any new content on Clash Royal. I was disappointed that you didn't. Then I saw this video. And so this confirmed it for me that you were likely not ever coming back. I hate that. I enjoyed watching your content on the game, bud. I must confess, I'm a little sad. I do agree with you that the game took a negative turn several months back. I even thought about quiting, myself then. Obviously I did not. Instead, I chose to look at it as an entirely new game (in a sense). When I did this, my perspective changed. So one question then remained. Was Clash Royal still fun? The answer was yes. Absolutely, yes. And so here I am, still playing it. And I love it! I hope you do come back! Take care of yourself, buddy! Ps. YES Royal recruits are OP, in my opinion. But against a good Bomb Tower/Mighty Miner cycle deck player, they get annihilated. PS again: I am a 48 year old family man who owns a masonry company but still plays Clash Royal like a little kid. And I love it! I used to have a World of Warcraft addiction that almost destroyed my marriage years ago. So I left that game, even though at the time I was one of the top arena pvpers in the world. Then I found Clash Royal. Then my friend, Tyler told me about you. Clash Royal was and is a delight that I can enjoy without it turning into an addiction that rules my every thought. Please come back, my friend! Love ya, man! - Rashidi pronounced Ru shee dee Give me a shout out on one of your videos so my friend Tyler and his kids can see. He will like that! He follows you as well!
CONTENT IDEA: Have clash royale gameplay simultaneously with a voiceover in the back talking about whatever topic, kind of like a commentary channel. You could talk about any news in the supercell space while showing clash royale gameplay on the screen. Or possibly any other unrelated topics as well (eg: philosophy like one of ur recent vids, etc). It would take the best of both worlds (gameplay and speaking about topics)
Please come back to Clash Royale. I know where your head is it at but i mean this with all respect, you tend to overthink things a lot. I know because i do the same thing. And i know you don't hate clash and you miss the community because CR is your ROOTS. It is part of what made you who you are now. So come back, but don't stress so much over the videos and just make any videos you want to make about CR that makes you happy. Most people watch your channel to see you anyway. Much love and i hope you come back
Ash, I have enjoyed the new content, and will always love the clash royale content. Obviously, I found you on the CR content and eat up all of it. Hope you are well!!
Speaking about the game, I will continue to push the fact that evolutions are bad for the health of the game, but good for the wallet of supercell. It’s frustrating as somebody that bought the pass every season prior to the change. The games ecosystem and health are a major negative now, but the income Says otherwise, for Supercell
However you choose to entertain us, I enjoy it. There’s trolls everywhere. With that said most aren’t mature to keep scrolling or ignore if it’s something they don’t agree with. Keyboard warriors aside. I enjoy you checking in with content related to Clash Royale. You definitely don’t need the added stress but I’m glad you’re still posting content to this channel. 🤘🏻👍🏻
I love the content you make I haven’t played clash in years even before you quit. I just watched your content because you’re great. If I had some content I’d like watch from you, it’s more interviews on creators. I’d like to see chief pat(hopefully next year), Galadon, and Nicole though I think it’ll be nigh impossible to get her on.
Ash! If you only make 1 video about clash your still my favorite content creator and will continue to put CWA supporter in the CR game. You are down to earth and a fun guy to listen too, I wish you the best. 7 years playing the game now and no where close to the top 🤣! I look forward to your next video.
Im in the middle some conversations have really been interesting but others not so much even tho I watch all your videos to the end no matter how long but I've been more in tune with o g channel because he still uploads videos about the events and challenges because l kinda started watching your channel to get better at the game and in one of o J's videos I'm almost completed my first challenge because of his video
Hey Ash! Can't say I'm consuming the recent content because I always watched for clash content. My favorite part of watching your clash content was you calling the match. IMO you're one of the best at it. Here's where i think there's opportunity. I don't have time to sit through the big CRL tournaments. Any way you can edit a sports center-esque version while calling the best plays/matches? No one else is doing that and I'd definitely want to see it.
ive also been enjoying the change of pace ash, but going back to the comment that said u should branch out to chess, just wanted to say i would also love if u covered chess and your journey learning with anna
I appreciate you continuing with your channel. I’ve enjoyed the interviews and interview style, you ask honest and meaningful questions without feeling invasive. I’m only familiar with Molt and OJ but found Ferg to be the most compelling. There is much to learn from successful people in any field.
I think you should focus a little less on what people want to see and more on what you wanna make. You are more than Supercell's games and community, you are more than mobile games, you are more than gaming. Maybe you wanna keep making gaming videos, or explore something that interests you right now like cooking, tv and movie reviews, or sports(just to throw out some general topics). Having fun and being passionate shines through and the audience will naturally find you again. Just make videos you enjoy with the people you enjoy being around. As for the interviews, I'd recommend spacing them out a little more if you're worried about running out of people to talk to. But if you really enjoy it and keep at it, you could find more people to have great conversations with. You'll figure it out man!
I still use your code Ash :) and I’ve enjoyed hearing some of your takes. The Financial stuff especially I found interesting. Molts interview was also really good.
Gotta do whatever your driven to do man! i gotta say im gonna miss clash royale vids now and then tho, but hey if that what u need to do thats it, much love
Personally, I stopped playing Clash when they added the champions. It was already toxic with every battle including E-Giant and Sparky. It just got boring fighting the same decks, so I left the game. Haven't touched or even looked at content in years. Seems like nothing has changed.
Quite frankly, I hadn't watched any of your videos since I quit Clash Royale years ago. Came back because your announcement video about your change of direction was recommended and stayed for the new content. It is interesting. I don't care for short clips. I either watch the whole interview or none of it. If this will be the kind of content you make, I'll be here.
Tbh, i haven't cared for the content recently since it's been forever since ive watched any other Supercell creator and i don't really care to learn about them. Id be more interested in seeing you play a variety of games regardless of games. Even if it's mixed in with your chat videos, videos with older games like Oregon trail, golden eye, or any other game that could be nostalgic for you would be really cool to see you relive.
Hey Now Ash! Still watching your channel, I don't know all the people you have been interviewing, but I have enjoyed the ones I watched. I do like the small excerpts - I'm sure it's a difficult balance. Still playing CR, it's fine... I love the SuperCell content, but I enjoy your channel regardless of what you decide to do with it! Definitely keep the CWA channel alive!
just finished the video, honestly down to watch kinda whatever really, loving the podcasts, even if i havent heard of the creator youre interviewing, i decided, cuz i was bored, ill watch judo's one, see how it is and i actually really enjoyed it and so i happily and willingly clicked on kairos', ferg's and lex's, and from now on, will click on any interview video you produce with an open mind, specially as i love the style of them, however also, id love to see gameplay of cr return, like i understand its hard to make content, cuz there isnt a lot to do, like im guessing you dont want to just make a standard ladder climbing video or something cuz it doesn't feel like new or exciting, if that makes sense (idk how to properly explain it), but tbh, im more than happy to watch that, idk about others, but i love playing clash and so i love watching clash, even if its just doing a couple battles once a week or something
Started watching your raid videos, no idea you also did Royale vids which I also play. Royale vids I watch are either OJ (entertainment only) or Ryley/Ian for strategy. Seems there may still be an audience out there for your Royale coverage.
Hey ash- you re cwa channel has kept me updated for years even at times I took time off the game. It was the go to channel for cr for me. I’m sure the game got stale for u at times but for us we had a place to go. I totally miss that. Since you left the channel to focus on other contents … I ve come to be less updated leaving me with more questions unanswered. Imo- find more creative ways to cover cr … just my thoughts.
Don’t listen to the sheep! Clash royale is more fun than ever. Just bring back some path of legends content and honestly do what you’ve always done we need you in the CR community making vids!
I love the idea of playing games with other content creators. I like a lot of the different supercell games so this sounds really fun to me. Also the chess and philosophy content is really great. I'm not super interested in the short clips of the longer videos but its not a big deal to me if you want to continue them. I love this channel and its been the largest yt consumption I've had for years. On netflix Demon slayer is because it hits me emotions, lol. Keep up the good work Ash!
I'm a mature guy,five years playing clash, sub to you for years into philosophy psychology ethics etc , whatever you content I watch it (and learnt to play chess at 7)
I really enjoy the direction you've taken the channel, giving us raw and real talks with some of our well known supercell youtubers. Thank you for keep doing what you love to do!
Thanks man! Glad you like it ;)
"Raw".... OJ: I own a McLaren, I got a bit down in the dumps. I exercised & felt better.
Title: "OJ nearly died!!!"
Ffs
Personally, I'm fine with you no longer uploading top decks etc Clash content - we all have to evolve and move on from things. However, I would love a state of the game type of video every now and again. You have so much knowledge of the history of the game and you offer such an unbiased yet straight to the point outlook.
Thanks for the suggestion ;)
I haven’t been watching as much as I used to, but I love this kind of format. Feels like a quick chat with an old friend
Thanks man! glad you like it ;)
I play when on the toilet, in a waiting room for an appointment or for a flight and on a flight, when I get downtime at work, when bored I’m somewhere I don’t wanna be or when on a lunch break. Point is I use it to kill time. Idc if I win or lose and I sure as hell would never spend money on this game ever again
Been watching you for ages, I stopped playing clash a couple years ago so the change in direction of the channel is actually welcome for me 😅, really interesting style of videos in my opinion. Love the raid channels and watcher channel as well 👍. The divergence from just gaming content may lose a lot of view but I think a lot of us really just enjoy having such a real down to earth cc to watch no matter the content.
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
Love the new direction of the channel. Stay healthy Ash. Keep working on what makes you happy.
I respect the new direction you're pushing your channel in, Ash! It's always nice to get special interviews with other great creators, and it's a more mature approach to content creation (which is reflective of who you've slowly become imo). That being said, I hope CR will always have a special place in your heart! We should do another Broken Podcast sometime :)
Yeeeesss and ofc a state of 3.0 video 😉
Wow op Ryley the only UK clash royale content creator I remember and sub to his channel for long time
I'm sure i don't represent the majority of your watch base but I'm 27 and have a family and I liked the philosophy video. The interviews are hit or miss depending on the person. I liked the chess interview. However, I'm here for whatever you put on the channel and am eager to see what you have in the works ❤
Thanks Colton! Means a lot ;)
Clash Royale hasn’t been doing too hot lately, so it’s perfectly fine to stop making content on it
To say the least
Idk how long since I've not watched you video. I left clash since the first ever season pass but I still watched your videos, but eventually I grew out of the game, clash royale didn't excite me anymore.
Recently I've been seeing that clash royales comments are filled with dead game comments and I wondered what happened.
I immediately opened your channel but i see you've moved on yourself.
Idk how to feel about this. You made my teenage years when I was in highschool. I learnt a lot from you in game and as well as in real life I aspired to be humble and fun person like you who was devoted to a community and I still aspire to do that.
I am really thankful for everyone you've taught me and entertained me for so many years.
While yes I feel a bit sad that a big part of my childhood is no more as it was but I'm really glad you've found your way and are continuing on it.
Towards the time when I left I was frustrated with the game and was rather becoming angry while playing it rather than having fun. I wish no one ever faces such a thing. Games are for fun.
I really pray Ash that whatever you do ahead and are doing, you have fun atleast. This is something I kinda observed from you during my teenage days watching your videos and deck showcases, that if you have fun with deck go play it, meta and people should never stop you from having fun. I applied this irl and i do things that are fun to me and brings me joy.
So whatever you do Ash have fun. Best wishes for you and your family. I'm sure your son is all grown up now and is lucky to have such an amazing father.
Thank You
Also on a side note you look a lot fit and muscular and handsome.
I love the direction your channel has taken! I've been with you ever since clash royale came out and it's been quite a journey. Even though I quit the game a few years back, I still come back and watch you from time to time. It sucks to see the decline in popularity with content lately but hey, you can only go up from here :)
Also, I would try experimenting with YT Shorts as an outlet for the juicy parts of the interviews, almost like little clips! Love you Ash ♥️
I don't comment often but I want you to know something very important. Clash royale was an addiction of mine, even after all the horrible decisions I kept playing, even tho I hated it and it screwed with my head. And tbh you leaving made me realize how horrible the game actually is and how horrible my mental state was. I left and my life improved and it's all thanks to your coverage.
Game is litterally a hamster wheel with their constant new level implementations. Not worth playing after evolutions
I was an active player for 6 years, and for a long time the game was actually very fun. But you can only make so many shit updates in a row before you lose even your most dedicated players. I haven't played since I tried the evolution update for about a week, and I don't think I'll ever return
ethics and mega knight players don't go together lol.
also huge shout out to Wirtual, he gave a big boost to Anna Cramling
I always loved listening to you talking about gameplay just as I study or work on any project. Love your vibe and would like to see more of the old content while keeping the current interview kind of content.
Thanks Andre! I appreciate it ;)
Man ash i can scroll through 1000 videos and not click on a simgle one but when i see yours i get this feeling of needing to click because when i listen to you its like im having a conversation and its personal. Will always support you ash!
Thanks man! Makes my day just reading this ;)
This resonates with me well. When you see Ash pop up you click. Always feels like a personal conversation.
I’ve enjoyed your recent content more than clash Royale right now! I love the direction of this channel and excited to see where you take it next.
Please do more Clash Royale content, even if sporadically. I miss them very much.
Hey, Ash! I’ve been watching the channel on and off for the last 3 years or so. I’ve also been playing Clash Royale for the last 6 years or so, although very infrequently recently. One thing about your videos I’ve always liked it your earnest approach to learning new strategies and ways forward in games. As such, I’d like to see you try new games on multiple platforms, perhaps in an effort to showcase the beginner experience to your audience. Maybe this would even help with some advertisement deals. If I had to recommend a game to start with, I might say Age of Empires 4, or another RTS. I for one would love to see someone tenacious like yourself take the plunge into a new game genre. All that said, thanks for reading this if you have the time, and I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with in the future.
Always loved the Commentary Style, keep it up!
Glad you like it ;)
Tbh I haven't been watching any of the interviews uploaded recently. I'll still stay subbed but maybe wait for content more appealing to me. Will check out your other gaming channel though.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it ;)
Im still around and still here for it all. Im here for you as a person Ash the content you make has always been interesting. I havent launched Clash Royale in years but still gonna stay watching you.
Thanks Brady! I appreciate it ;)
I subscribed back when you were pushing hard with splashyard on CR. I really like your personality and transparency. I think a great medium would be to play a game in the background and talk about these topics as you play. I saw a video where a guy was talking about topics while playing Destiny 2 and found that easier to engage in.
Hey Ash! Wanted to add my two cents, although its not on the community tab maybe you read this. For me, personally, I always enjoyed watching your CR content, new decks, fun combos, perhaps something broken or new meta. Your passion for the game kept me playing for a long time. Since you've quit, I've also given up on CR. I'm thinking maybe I'll give your new channel a look for a new game that you are excited about. Or have you thought about COC content? I've picked that up again after quitting CR and been having some fun getting back into it however educational and thorough content is few and far in between. The way you explained things just always made sense.
Thanks for the suggestion ;)
Funny thing. Most youtubers and players raged on social media about the direction the game has gone, stil, the game is having great revenues lately. So, basically, 95% of people that raged keeps playing and buying that scam called diamond pass.
HOMIE!!! YOU GOTTA BRING BACK PRO V PRO....BEST series ever!
Its great to see you post what you want thats the whole point to doing this its nice to see you happy ash🤙
Thanks man! I appreciate it )
I actually like the interviews with content creators. I think you are a good interviewer. I play clash of clans but quit clash royale. I would like to see more clash of clans youtubers in your channel. Keep up the good work.
Ash I absolutely love you, been watching you across my 3 YT accounts for 3 years now. The nicest, most genuine guy on the platform as far as i'm concerned. You just do what makes you happy and I'll stay subbed ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
You used to make a 20 minute video about balance changes, that took about 45 seconds this video. Love seeing the difference in mindset where you seem more chilled out and relaxed, less pressure to make content
Hello Ash, thank you for always uploading and never giving up,
I have started watching you since you started playing clash of clans and clash royale and then,because of your videos I was able go be a better clash royale player, through pro tips and your effort to host the pros so that we can get a taste of how a pro plays !
I have stopped playing clash royale 2 months ago and I don't feel motivated at all to play it again , although my account is fully maxed out level 14.
I feel your frustration and I would like to share some suggestions with you.
ive been watching since day 1 basically, ash i think i speak for most people when i say that the best moments of this channel was you rambling or doing commentary style videos with gameplay in the background. most of us enjoy watching you play and especially your commentary. best of luck to anything you do man
Thanks for the support man! Means a lot ;)
go where ever you want with this channel, i subscribed years ago for the vibes and those vibes are still in these videos.
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
I like all your video's regardless of what they're about, you almost always choose something insightful to make a video about, so i wouldn't worry too much. Just make vids about stuff you're enthousiastic about and we will be too.
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
I haven’t watched you since you dropped clash Royale content tbh. I’m glad you’re doing what you want to do and your opinion is all that matters, me viewing or not
So glad you moved on from CR. Love the new content ideas and topics. A breath of fresh air!
I have been watching your contents for years and honestly clash royale is the sole reason for that but time's change and so should we your podcast really motivate and encourage me and i'm thankful for that so regardless what others may say you should continue with your current direction of the channel
Would love for you to bring on pros playing meta decks again miss those days
Hey Ash. I just wanted to say I’ve been watching since 2017, and even though I quit about a year ago because of the state of the game but I still catch a video from you here or there.
I use to watch you every day after school, never stop doing what you do.
I mean I don't play clash but I still watch you, just love what you're making!!
Clash Royale is why I subscribed, you are why I stayed. Cover any supercell game you like whenever you like, although I would not care for any other mobile game personally. Need to watch some of the interviews.
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
@@ChatWithAsh Love your stuff!
bro. please dont be wimpy and say you dont want to talk about "sensitive topics", this is your channel, 99 percent of people will still understand your position if you speak competently and just express yourself. do what you want ! and speak about more real things.. thanks!
You can call it "wimpy" if you want. When I'm getting harassing phone calls, doxed, death threats, etc. and I have a family, it's a considerattion. It's hard to understand the serious toll that can take on everyone (not just me) until it's a reality. There are a lot of sick people out there...
That being said, your point is still well taken. I will continue to talk about serious topics, of course. But some are probably better left untouched. Perhaps I didn't do a good job of articulating that point in the video. Let me give you an example. I have some strong views on the current situation with Israel, Hamas and Palestine. Despite my passionate views, it's an incredibly divisive topic that I frankly don't think I have much to add to the conversation. So when I say I'll stay away from some sensitive topics that I'm very much interested in, that's sort of what I'm talking about.
Hope that clears things up and thanks for the comment!
Bro really wants a dying clash channel to cover more serious topics 😂.
@@ChatWithAsh maybe don’t talk about the super duper controversial topics, your family and your safety should be the priority. Unfortunately there are sicko’s out there
@@ChatWithAsh great response I really don't think that person fully understood what you meant lol. I don't think anyone thinks you're "wimpy" 😂
This might be perfect for the next video name it something with "wimpy "
Here are some ideas, that most probably will be ignored: Post a weekly SuperCell news video.
Content: Latest news from each SuperCell game while also mentioning interesting or unique videos from other content creators, such as: OJ tombstone mode test run, SirTagCR tips for X challenge, JuicyJ 24 hours Clash Royale marathon. New seasons preview (from the developer account).
Maybe cover Warcraft Rumble when it launches, to attract a new audience or just feature something different than Clash Royale?
Or maybe cover mobile gaming news in general? Short 1 minute highlights of the latest news.
Or make a video about in-game monetization schemes and psychologyy behind it? How it is thought and how it tricks people into spending real money for unlocking certain benefits in the game.
Teach the audience about the way games are thought. This can also cover PC games. For example Baldur's gate success without monetization.
Thanks for the suggestions ;)
TH-cam should pay for comments since nowadays people engage in more down there than up there in the views at least on certain type of content. Just thinking out loud, don't mind me if I sounded a bit crazy 😅
Ash for this channel you have changed the direction to what you are passionate about. I have skipped multiple interviews you have done mainly because I really wasn’t interested in those people. I have watched the ones I wanted to see. Regardless I support you creating content you are passionate about and if you keep creating content it will continue to grow. This is regardless if it is the content specifically for me or not.
I would love more collabs with MOLT. You have great chemistry together (debating from different perspectives). The conversation about religion and life perspective was so good, i didn’t want the conversation to end!
Glad you liked it and thanks for the suggestion ;)
Tbh I've just been putting on the podcast on in the background while I do something in the kitchen or if I'm just working and it's been pretty good honestly, I've been watching since the coc vids you used to post all those years ago (my friend suggested I watch you to get better at the game cause I sucked ass back then xD) but yeah haven't played any cr or coc in a long time but I always enjoy the content you put out my man
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
No matter what, I still enjoy your content ash. The only thing is I really miss your spectating videos. You’re an excellent commentator.
7:57 not a big hit if you have a good tax guy, ash. :) I have a great tax guy and he really helps at the end of the year! I own a business though not a TH-cam channel so I suppose it may be harder to take losses on TH-cam than in a physical business.
ive been with you since you got princess first time, so loonggg time ago!!! , im playing clash royal a bit again now, full 2 years of raid, and now watcher , we are ash fans
You’re articulate and charismatic, I think you’re in the zone when you are running commentary! have you considered a sports channel, MMA that kind of thing?
Warcraft rumble is coming out In early Nov.
What if Clash Mini goes global soon and you love it? I mean... you can translate an insanely bigger % of your viewers towards that content. See how many people follow Clash Royale without playing or giving a check to decide if they pick it back up or not.. Clash Mini will be the perfect replacement.
Honestly it would be super exciting watching you make your OG content interviewing pros and stuff but for a new game like Clash Mini.
Thanks for the suggestion Daniel ;)
Ash, people will always respect passion of an individual. Speak to your heart and people will love you. You were my favorite cr creator because of your character. If you follow your interests, people will care
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
I say do what makes you happy. I do like the interviews, maybe play against them when you interview to spice things up. Make it like a Hot Ones but with s clash wrapper, haha. Thanks for keeping it real Ash!
Thanks Ryan! I appreciate it ;)
I enjoy watching your videos. And having quit royale myself, I enjoy the direction change of the channel!
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
Love you ash. I’d go crazy if I had to make clash content for a month, let alone years. Glad you’ve rediscovered content you enjoy producing
Edit: we’re not clash fans, we’re Ash fans. And I’m here for your takes on ethics and philosophy. Godspeed brotha 💫
Thanks Mike! Means a lot ;)
I was a fan of the game when it first came out, but dropped the game just before champions were released. To me it just got to be too much about spending too stay competitive and have a good deck rather then doing good with a fun deck. I personally have always been a fan of you, regardless of my interest in clash royale (and to an extent clash of clans and brawl stars). I have continued to watch your videos because I enjoy your opinions, perspective, and thoughts on the topics you come talk about. I haven't been the biggest fan of most of your interview videos, partly because I'm not a fan of the interviewee. I would enjoy you talking about any topic that you want honestly, even if you started to just pick a topic in the news every so often and give your take on it. I think you are a great creator and would love to see what you do next!
Hey Ash! While I do admit that I don’t watch all of these videos, if I see someone I recognize (which I’ll touch on later), I’ll watch the video because I want to know about the person (even if it’s not clash). I admire you for going and doing what you love, even if it’s tanking in comparison. I do miss your past content but if it’s what you love, do it! I don’t watch the videos really anymore because well there longer or I just have no clue who they are (and play more then supercell games). One suggestion for a later interview, because of comments in videos prior, is Crusher21. I’d be curious if you would do one with him. Cheers and good luck everything! (I’m still subbed btw if that means anything)
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
I found ur channel once u decided to change and and longer discussion videos where you talk about a subject are really nice
Brother I've been watching you since early clash royale days. I know I'm not alone when I say that i've always watched this channel for you and your charisma, not just what you upload. You just seem to have such an approachable demeanor. That said, I think this format of you doing interviews, or just being able to be yourself fits your style perfectly. I can envision (and would love to see) you interviewing the likes of people like Dr. Disrespect, Mr. Beast, and other huge names. I think you should let your personality shine more in them.
All that said, I look forward to every upload man.
Thanks for the suggestion ;)
Miss you on Clash Royal, Mr. Ash. I have come here a few times in the last couple of months to see if you had any new content on Clash Royal. I was disappointed that you didn't. Then I saw this video. And so this confirmed it for me that you were likely not ever coming back. I hate that. I enjoyed watching your content on the game, bud. I must confess, I'm a little sad. I do agree with you that the game took a negative turn several months back. I even thought about quiting, myself then. Obviously I did not. Instead, I chose to look at it as an entirely new game (in a sense). When I did this, my perspective changed. So one question then remained. Was Clash Royal still fun? The answer was yes. Absolutely, yes. And so here I am, still playing it. And I love it!
I hope you do come back! Take care of yourself, buddy!
Ps. YES Royal recruits are OP, in my opinion. But against a good Bomb Tower/Mighty Miner cycle deck player, they get annihilated.
PS again: I am a 48 year old family man who owns a masonry company but still plays Clash Royal like a little kid. And I love it! I used to have a World of Warcraft addiction that almost destroyed my marriage years ago. So I left that game, even though at the time I was one of the top arena pvpers in the world. Then I found Clash Royal. Then my friend, Tyler told me about you. Clash Royal was and is a delight that I can enjoy without it turning into an addiction that rules my every thought. Please come back, my friend!
Love ya, man!

pronounced Ru shee dee
Give me a shout out on one of your videos so my friend Tyler and his kids can see. He will like that! He follows you as well!
CONTENT IDEA: Have clash royale gameplay simultaneously with a voiceover in the back talking about whatever topic, kind of like a commentary channel. You could talk about any news in the supercell space while showing clash royale gameplay on the screen. Or possibly any other unrelated topics as well (eg: philosophy like one of ur recent vids, etc). It would take the best of both worlds (gameplay and speaking about topics)
Hey Ash. I am very glad to see you evolve. I think its good that you are trying out new things and I hope that you will succeed in them.
Please come back to Clash Royale. I know where your head is it at but i mean this with all respect, you tend to overthink things a lot. I know because i do the same thing. And i know you don't hate clash and you miss the community because CR is your ROOTS. It is part of what made you who you are now. So come back, but don't stress so much over the videos and just make any videos you want to make about CR that makes you happy. Most people watch your channel to see you anyway. Much love and i hope you come back
Oh wow, you actually got a response from Chief Pat? That's an interview I'd like to watch.
Thanks for watching ;)
Ash, I have enjoyed the new content, and will always love the clash royale content. Obviously, I found you on the CR content and eat up all of it. Hope you are well!!
Speaking about the game, I will continue to push the fact that evolutions are bad for the health of the game, but good for the wallet of supercell. It’s frustrating as somebody that bought the pass every season prior to the change. The games ecosystem and health are a major negative now, but the income Says otherwise, for Supercell
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
However you choose to entertain us, I enjoy it. There’s trolls everywhere. With that said most aren’t mature to keep scrolling or ignore if it’s something they don’t agree with. Keyboard warriors aside. I enjoy you checking in with content related to
Clash Royale. You definitely don’t need the added stress but I’m glad you’re still posting content to this channel. 🤘🏻👍🏻
I love the content you make I haven’t played clash in years even before you quit. I just watched your content because you’re great. If I had some content I’d like watch from you, it’s more interviews on creators. I’d like to see chief pat(hopefully next year), Galadon, and Nicole though I think it’ll be nigh impossible to get her on.
Thanks for the suggestions ;)
Ash! If you only make 1 video about clash your still my favorite content creator and will continue to put CWA supporter in the CR game. You are down to earth and a fun guy to listen too, I wish you the best. 7 years playing the game now and no where close to the top 🤣! I look forward to your next video.
Theme song? Ash how about ‘bring back the witches’? That was a banger
Im in the middle some conversations have really been interesting but others not so much even tho I watch all your videos to the end no matter how long but I've been more in tune with o g channel because he still uploads videos about the events and challenges because l kinda started watching your channel to get better at the game and in one of o J's videos I'm almost completed my first challenge because of his video
Hey Ash! Can't say I'm consuming the recent content because I always watched for clash content. My favorite part of watching your clash content was you calling the match. IMO you're one of the best at it. Here's where i think there's opportunity. I don't have time to sit through the big CRL tournaments. Any way you can edit a sports center-esque version while calling the best plays/matches? No one else is doing that and I'd definitely want to see it.
Deleted Clash Royale yesterday, it was hard to do.
I quit playing CR a few years ago when it really felt like you HAD to spend money to get a fair shake at playing.
I haven’t played clash Royale over 2 months and still not playing I quit because it’s not fun anymore love your videos ash
Thanks for watching ;)
Hi Ash. Glad to hear you wont let the channel die. I have been listening to years and really enjoy all the content.
Thanks Rupert! I appreciate it ;)
ive also been enjoying the change of pace ash, but going back to the comment that said u should branch out to chess, just wanted to say i would also love if u covered chess and your journey learning with anna
I appreciate you continuing with your channel. I’ve enjoyed the interviews and interview style, you ask honest and meaningful questions without feeling invasive. I’m only familiar with Molt and OJ but found Ferg to be the most compelling. There is much to learn from successful people in any field.
I think you should focus a little less on what people want to see and more on what you wanna make. You are more than Supercell's games and community, you are more than mobile games, you are more than gaming. Maybe you wanna keep making gaming videos, or explore something that interests you right now like cooking, tv and movie reviews, or sports(just to throw out some general topics). Having fun and being passionate shines through and the audience will naturally find you again. Just make videos you enjoy with the people you enjoy being around.
As for the interviews, I'd recommend spacing them out a little more if you're worried about running out of people to talk to. But if you really enjoy it and keep at it, you could find more people to have great conversations with. You'll figure it out man!
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
I still use your code Ash :) and I’ve enjoyed hearing some of your takes. The Financial stuff especially I found interesting. Molts interview was also really good.
The titling of the video makes it sound like clash royale was some kind of drug
I am just waiting for you to hit the 1 million subscribers for a long time. Keep up the work ash and get there ASAP 💓
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
Gotta do whatever your driven to do man! i gotta say im gonna miss clash royale vids now and then tho, but hey if that what u need to do thats it, much love
Thanks Robin ;)
Personally, I stopped playing Clash when they added the champions. It was already toxic with every battle including E-Giant and Sparky. It just got boring fighting the same decks, so I left the game. Haven't touched or even looked at content in years. Seems like nothing has changed.
Thanks for watching Matthew ;)
Honestly, I don't know if that helps at all, I'm just subscribed and I watch only what I find interesting. I'll be here for as long as you are!
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
Clash royale video 1 per week is the way man.
kind of like my history with the UK game creator who made Stronghold Kingdoms....Raid Shadow Legends has all my attention now
Quite frankly, I hadn't watched any of your videos since I quit Clash Royale years ago. Came back because your announcement video about your change of direction was recommended and stayed for the new content. It is interesting. I don't care for short clips. I either watch the whole interview or none of it. If this will be the kind of content you make, I'll be here.
Thanks man! I appreciate it ;)
Tbh, i haven't cared for the content recently since it's been forever since ive watched any other Supercell creator and i don't really care to learn about them. Id be more interested in seeing you play a variety of games regardless of games. Even if it's mixed in with your chat videos, videos with older games like Oregon trail, golden eye, or any other game that could be nostalgic for you would be really cool to see you relive.
Hey Now Ash! Still watching your channel, I don't know all the people you have been interviewing, but I have enjoyed the ones I watched. I do like the small excerpts - I'm sure it's a difficult balance.
Still playing CR, it's fine... I love the SuperCell content, but I enjoy your channel regardless of what you decide to do with it! Definitely keep the CWA channel alive!
Thanks for watching ;)
I like the chatting videos you are a nice guy
Thanks man! Glad you enjoy it ;)
@@ChatWithAsh you are welcome 👍
Could you interview, with background gameplay, some CR pros
just finished the video, honestly down to watch kinda whatever really, loving the podcasts, even if i havent heard of the creator youre interviewing, i decided, cuz i was bored, ill watch judo's one, see how it is and i actually really enjoyed it and so i happily and willingly clicked on kairos', ferg's and lex's, and from now on, will click on any interview video you produce with an open mind, specially as i love the style of them, however also, id love to see gameplay of cr return, like i understand its hard to make content, cuz there isnt a lot to do, like im guessing you dont want to just make a standard ladder climbing video or something cuz it doesn't feel like new or exciting, if that makes sense (idk how to properly explain it), but tbh, im more than happy to watch that, idk about others, but i love playing clash and so i love watching clash, even if its just doing a couple battles once a week or something
Started watching your raid videos, no idea you also did Royale vids which I also play. Royale vids I watch are either OJ (entertainment only) or Ryley/Ian for strategy. Seems there may still be an audience out there for your Royale coverage.
Hey ash- you re cwa channel has kept me updated for years even at times I took time off the game. It was the go to channel for cr for me.
I’m sure the game got stale for u at times but for us we had a place to go. I totally miss that. Since you left the channel to focus on other contents … I ve come to be less updated leaving me with more questions unanswered. Imo- find more creative ways to cover cr … just my thoughts.
Do what you want/ it's YOUR channel, but I for one still play clash. I mostly come here to see if you have the latest deck.
Don’t listen to the sheep! Clash royale is more fun than ever. Just bring back some path of legends content and honestly do what you’ve always done we need you in the CR community making vids!
I love the idea of playing games with other content creators. I like a lot of the different supercell games so this sounds really fun to me. Also the chess and philosophy content is really great. I'm not super interested in the short clips of the longer videos but its not a big deal to me if you want to continue them. I love this channel and its been the largest yt consumption I've had for years. On netflix Demon slayer is because it hits me emotions, lol. Keep up the good work Ash!
I'm a mature guy,five years playing clash, sub to you for years into philosophy psychology ethics etc , whatever you content I watch it (and learnt to play chess at 7)
Thanks man! Means a lot ;)
