    Prefer having a real conversation and having real views. It also more to have conversations with people who are into motorcycles and fun. 😊

    Oh yeah, I'm feeling that "fall in the fall" on my channel so much right now. I couldn't put a well-performing video out if my life depended it on this time of year lol

    • @RoadReality

      LOL, it happens... every year. What can you do?
      I do find it funny though - motorcycle people don't watch motorcycle videos in the off-season, when they have more time and aren't always out riding. What gives?

    It was good to see that I am not the only one who makes multiple comments throughout a video. I do try to (but not always) wait until the end to hit the comment button.

    I’ve seen a few that pay for views and even someone like myself can see it.

    • @RoadReality
      @RoadReality  11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah, you can usually look at the stats and it'll tell you what's going on. I know my own channel sort of falls into that "stats look" category, but I haven't done any buying of views or subs - I just have a few videos that continually gain views and subs, LOL.

  • @PaulsMotoZen
    @PaulsMotoZen 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Buying views, and subscribers is something I can not afford. I still have a GoPro3, and two other Chinese action cameras. I am not complaining since all the action cameras I have were purchased by others. Lately, I've been testing out different settings to see if the other camera's could be used with the least amount of issues. If all else fails, the GoPro3 always works, but having only 1080p, and no image stabilization kind of sucks. At least the newer Chinese action cameras have image stabilization, not great, but better than none.
