All great books for sure. I always enjoy when you and a few other channels show off your pickups. I love watching a real collector unlike so many other channels which seem to me more of a storefront for a dealer
I had a few times last year where I stopped making videos for a few weeks, can be rough sometimes. It was a great meeting at Terrificon and hope to do it again this year. Keep up the great work brother can't wait to see what you pickup in 2025.
No need to apologize, good sir! The level of production you have gives the level of engagement you're seeing. I feel like, for you, it's all about the friends you're making along the way. I love your content, as always!
TH-cam is such a fickle beast. In most other industries/avenues, if you put in the effort, there is a tangible positive result for that effort. TH-cam is just one of those places where that effort can mean nothing if it doesn't fit into the box the algorithm is looking to put things in. I see so many TH-cam videos that get recommended to me that have literally zero effort put into them in terms of their production, but they get thousands of views because the content is tailored specifically for views by capitalizing on drama or trending topics. Its so hard for a hobbiest channel to grow in that environment, but as long as you enjoy what you're doing and not relying on a TH-cam channel to pay rent, keep doing what you're doing. You've built a following, met awesome new close friends and you did all that by creating the content you wanted to put out into the world and just being you. You're not one of those assembly line content creators trying to game an algorithm for views with vapid slop content. You reached out into the void and got a meaningful response and at least from my personal perspective anyway, thats way more personally satisfying and fulfilling to make real connections and impact as a result of your work. Congrats on an epic 2024 and looking forward to everything that comes next.
Thanks so much flux, your message here is just what I needed to read today after getting kinda frustrated with my channel. It is rewarding no matter how much the channel grows or the views I get and the relationships are the best thing about it. That said I do want a little more success and traction with my content so I need to evaluate how to make that happen… don’t really know right now lol.
@@colossuscollector Totally understand the desire to grow. My wife and I have a super small niche illustration side business and the only thing that worked for our growth was getting other people to advocate for our products by showing off what they bought on instagram/socials. Granted, this is e-commerce, so its totally different how you engage an audience and I don't know how that translates to TH-cam, but maybe there's a takeaway for you somewhere in what I wrote! Best of luck bud.
@@fluxcap_collects Exposure is good by for sure, I work in advertising so I know that well! At the end of the day it comes down to time and is it worth the time to get the growth you want. Hard to figure out but I’ll get there lol
I totally feel ya about pushing content. You've put so much work into the channels and live streams, I don't know how you have time for what you already do! Amazing pick ups for the year! Onwards to 2025!
Every time you have one of your slabs in the holder on the table and you lean on the table, I get a bit nervous. It feels like you should shift the holder forward a bit, as it sometimes feels like it is too close to the edge of the table. Maybe it is just the camera angle. Great video! Thanks for sharing your recap of 2024!
Usually the holder has tape on the back and is taped to the table. This video I forgot but it’s pretty safe overall. The stand is strong and I’m careful. Thanks for the concern though! Appreciate you always watching!
Terrificon really was above and beyond more spectacular than I could have imagined. Great year, Ryan. Looking forward to another one this year.
Yessir, we’re going to have a huge 2024!
