With hourly wages like this I'll be buying my TH-camr mansion in no time! Ways To Support Me: broughy.com/support | Thank you all for allowing me to do what I do Full 2024 testing playlist to see all the classes (#JusticeForVans) so far: th-cam.com/play/PLx_tHjuVuRODxrNcTCbJ4VOB5FHxBzGgx.html
Funny enough I use ALL the testing videos, even the low end vehicles to get the best ones and I create races to get the world record laptimes for achievements and other things. Plus these videos are INVAULABLE for FiveM RP server cars. Supercars are usually not allowed on the really intense hardcore RP servers like NoPixel and Prodigy and yes they make changes to their physics models but they are not going to change each and every individual car so I can go through your spreadsheet and find a unique car that should perform really well in tough situations like getting away from a rival gang or in a police chase. I don't have to spend alot of downtime figuring it out. They may not be your most watched but they are the most appreciated by those that need the info.
Your testing series is HELLA underrated ngl. It's influenced my purchases in gta online for years and it feels like every other gta youtuber who talks about performance is ripping your data to say which car is the fastest once they all realized top speed isn't the only metric so in one way, shape, or form, I think you've influenced the community on a larger scale than the reach of your channel for sure.
I was always going to be playing GTA, and particularly racing. Wanting to know the fastest cars led me to your youtube channel. Your youtube videos on fastest cars led me to Twitch and at first you were the only Twitch streamer I watched. I really felt this "local lad making a living playing games" was something I should be supporting, even if only in a few small ways. I've since expanded my viewing on Twitch quite a bit, but it has to be said there's very few streamers that do it quite like you. Being able to watch and be entertained is one thing, but also being able to join and race with you and the rest of the community, even if not very competitively, is something not many streamers will even consider. I have come to realise that what you do is a lot more complicated than simply "playing games for a living", and I'm very grateful you're still putting in all the hard work. Thanks Broughy 🧡
It may have been posted by J_Clike in the “broughy-memes” channel in my Discord after the stream in which the clip from this video is from, but despite it being a meme and clearly for a laugh I also couldn’t not use it for this. It’s just too good.
I came to your channel after hearing about your testing videos from a certain scumbag TH-camr (MrBoss) & then started watching your twitch streams, I realized how much entertainment I was getting from them & decided to sub. & come November I will have been subbed for 5 years. I don’t buy a single car in gta until I’ve watched you test it !! Keep up the great work.
Found you through the testing videos back in 2014, was talking about you to my brother yesterday; we associate you with a treasured part of our youth. I really hope that when GTA 6 finally comes out that you will have the same kind of rise that you had with 5. With your hard work on videos and for the community you deserve it.
Man this really touches the spot, honestly wish I could do more, would not describe my situation but the thought of giving back as much as you have given me with your videos on this years is not unwelcome. Mark my words as soon as I have the opportunity I’ll repay at least some of this all that you have done for me even without knowing. You are an awesome human being and do so much for so many people on a personal level (just the thought of felling identified by something you talk in a video or that you mention for any reason). Keep it up bro, we are here even if it’s just watching your race or your 15 minute rant
I was one of the people who saw your testing videos 10 years ago and kept watching. I don't miss a Gfred or random race. I'd even started joining races last year, though I don't get the chance to join nearly as many as I'd like to. I don't play GTA anymore outside of Gfreds and stuff so I don't really watch the new testing videos, but I appreciate the work you do for the people who still play. You were also one of the reasons I whitelisted your channel on my ad blocker years ago, when you uploaded that video talking about adsense. The testing videos may be a loss at this point, but luckily you have other content, streams, merch, patreon, so hopefully you're doing okay for you and your family. :)
You are highly regarded as the main source for all things cars and racing in GTA. And it sucks youtube screw you over. Should it make you feel better, some of us do those same hours for each video and get a big fat 0 🙃😂
Thank you Broughy! This is only my third comment on your channel in years upon years - I am a persistent lurker! I also introduced my son to you many years ago. He now resides hundreds of miles from me, doing university. We play gfred between the two of us a lot. Even though I have seen every one, and know all the lines, he consistently beats me. But we love it! I'm really grateful for your channel and the effort you put in, and your larger community as a whole.
I dont think I've played gta for at least 6 years, but you've kept my interest with all the testing videos and gfreds and random races ... so thank you ❤
You deserve it all and much more! It's a dream job I wish I had, being in control of your pace and taking a break without someone breathing down your neck. While also having people supporting you through chat and comments, that's wild. I'm sure there's specific hardships as well which are extremely valid as is with every job. I found you thanks to the testing videos and now I binge watch the GFred ones and it's been great for me especially in a moment that I'm not doing so well. So thanks too!
thank you for supplying us with years of content! i found your channel through your testing videos years ago and i’ve watched almost every video/vod since! i can also imagine your community will see huge growth when you start gta 6 testing!
Your'e welcome you beautiful human being. By the way, I discovered you back in 2019 when I decided to take GTA racing serious. If it werent for your videos, I would have waisted millions of dollars on the wrong vehicles so i’dlike to thank you as well Broughy. 2nd for life
I don't watch often but I love those testing videos because they are always well done and to the point and what I truely love, is the fact you are so open and honest, and grateful for support which is why I'm still around and watch a video every now and then. keep doing what you are doing :)
Hey, I want to say thank you for all of your videos, especially the testing videos considering the effort to reward ratio. I really appreciate watching content from someone who enjoys and is knowledgeable about what he does, making content without expectation or pretention. You make good content, know and appreciate your audience, and are humble in your successes. Thank you again from me, and your thousands of regular watchers. We appreciate you, truly.
When shaggy gave you a shout out, it only took one video to get me hooked. I can't wait for GTA 6 to drop, because I know for a fact that this channel and hopefully the racing community as a whole, is going to blow up
I've watched your testing videos for years, they're invaluable. I find that TH-cam really favors your random all content and will autoplay those videos over your testing videos, even though the testing videos are what I actually seek out.
Came here first time for the testing videos, decided to stay for the live streams and over 8 years later (and ~7 years as a subscriber on Twitch) I'm still here through many chokes, funny moments, and great videos. While exposure doesn't pay the bills (and as an artist I realize that more than anyone), I do think you're getting a lot of people in the door with the testing videos. I think Darogen is correct here (per usual). I would personally have never found you if it wasn't for searching for "fastest supercars class car' and I think many are just like me. Even if the conversion rate towards getting people to check out your streams is low (which, spoiler: it probably is), I do think it's a good gateway video series... maybe look into better ways to manipulate the algorithms to get your content showing up first. Keep up the great work, Adam, I'm a huge fan of both you and your lovely wife.
Funnily enough I seem to be one of the few who got hooked with random alls and gfreds. Got one recommended randomly one or two years ago, binged them all and started then to watch the livestreams
As an average lurker, who's only ever raced with you once and blew up during your spectator deathfred, I was initially brought to your because of the testing videos and have been steadily watching your content since
found you years back when the X80 proto came out and I was trying to explain that it wasn't the fastest car in the game - havent missed a video since, and have gone back to all the old gfreds and everything. great content
I was half expecting to see a clip of Broughy walking in wearing a shit ton of gold jewellery, dressed from head to toe in Burberry and clutching a bottle of Lambrini.
you gain a lot of trust from us with those videos, i dont think anyone would be mad if you stopped doing testing until gta 6, but once that comes you know people will be searching for those XD
Remembered what a prime sub is and just used it on your twitch account. I don’t typically have the time to watch streams but catch up on most of the videos on here and love to tune in when I can. Keep doing you brough ❤
Your car testing videos have won me so many races 🤣 not only knowing what the fastest cars are but knowing where each & every car I'm going against stands performance wise & who to focus on before the race even starts
Im pretty sure i found this channel back in 2014 or 2015 when the cunning stunts DLC came out. The quality and attention to lap time was incomparable to the slop of airport drag races 😂. I've been watching ever since, thank you for always giving me an edge in vehicle choice broughy, I've won too many races based on your testing
Glad to know that your hourly wage on your BEST car testing video is literally minimum wage in my city. Woohoo! But seriously, these testing videos cumulatively make up the reason why so many people love this channel and Broughy content in general. You've been a crucial part of arguably the most exhaustively useful resource for any game, aside from literal encyclopedias, and maybe the views don't show it but the GTA car community is grateful for it. Because, at the end of the day, there will ALWAYS be a demographic of gamers who want to min/max their gameplay, get the best cars, score the most points, or make the most money. And even the players who don't care about that are going to care too. There's a reason why I played GTA for weeks to save up to buy the fastest supercar, and I wouldn't have really known what to buy if it weren't for you. Frankly, your nerdiness when it comes to knowing stuff about GTA cars is no insignificant part of why I watch any one of your videos, random-alls included. That's why we've got these long-standing inside jokes about the penumbra or offroad traction loss. So even though this comment I'm writing doesn't make you any money, just know that your work is valued.
Love you Brough! The wife and I watch your random videos every Friday night for "best time of week" and all the gfreds too ❤ We even sit there in our matching unholy trinity t-shirts! I feel bad for not watching the testing videos as much recently, but I've not played GTA online in over a year!
I know I am definitely not the first in saying this. I honestly don’t remember how or when exactly I started watching your videos (I have a horrible memory sorry), it happened mostly in 2019/2020 due to testing videos I must have been looking for since I had just newly bought GTA 5 once I had a PC that could run it sort of decently. Stuck around and got hooked to the random races and then started watching everything on your channel, in the past 2-3 years I have been subbing on twitch here and there and always lurk on almost all streams just running in the background not even listening or seeing them. I will still try to the best of my abilities to support you since you’re the very few creators who actually doesn’t bother with what’s meta and how many ads can get stuffed in a single video or stuff like that, it’s genuinely a much better experience watching you with the decisions you take towards your audience’s benefit, and also seeing you sometimes being in horrible positions and sometimes being victorious in spectacular fashion is a tremendous emotional roller coaster. All this is the reason I have been going back and catching up with older random races and gfreds from the beginning recently to see and experience where the journey began Thank you for being you and doing what we all love watching and hope you enjoy doing as well ❤
6:37 For this part. I recommend using your video tags to be like your video title but in phrases. Basically if you want to get a high seo then you need to insert 20 tags in that tags box & your video title "keywords" would help in that,just need to make into 2-3 phrases in the tag box. Vidiq would do the keyword inspector
I'd seen the data and even admission from TH-cam that tags do absolutely nothing. I stopped adding tags and had my most successful video ever, by a huge margin.
Those videos are idd the reason many of your viewers are here i feel. I remember back in the day your testing videos came up quite often in the racing crew that i was in back in the day when we were discussing cars. That was back in the PS3 days. The crew has since split up but i'm sure i'm not the only one still watching the videos. The 5M thing has been a godsend i feel to provide extra options for content. GTA6 next year should be a good boost for content again i feel. I really hope they don't mess up the car handling but surely they know alot of their (long term) players are there because they enjoy the driving/racing. Probably a factor that RDR2 online didn't do so well as traversing the map on a horse all the time is just so damn boring. It is a shame how little you make of the testing vids but they are very much appreciated by all ! And a good way to get people to your channel that are in search for good data and are happy to see a GTA channel that isn't some dude screaming, making silly noises and having flashing lights in your face every 14 seconds. Looking forward to your first GTA6 testing vid ! Keep up the good work!
I found you through GTASeriesVideos when you appeared in one of their streams and in their racing guide but I've been watching all of your testing videos ever since (on this account and my main one). Even this year, I've watched every testing video you've ever posted gaining you about 5,000 views in total over the past 7-8 years and I will continue to keep watching them because I enjoy seeing where the cars place in their classes. While on the subject of spinoff videos, will there be an updated Arena Wars vehicles video as well or just the main classes? I know they probably can't be raced but just like like the HSW or Tuners vehicles, most of them would have already been tested and could save a lot of extra testing. At the same time, it may not do as well as the normal vehicle classes would be I personally would like to see it.
Been watching you for 10 years now, and I would never have guessed it paid that badly. I make videos for a rallycross team with two 360 cams + 2 Gopros and a handheld. One heat of 3 minutes takes 4-5 hours to make. My most viewed video is 29k and only generated 50 dollars. 😅 I would have been in the negative if I lived by revanue alone.
I think the 2024 tests were great for perfecting the formula to test all GTA 6 cars in the future. I hope you'll get a big boom in subscribers once GTA 6 is out, if you use your current knowledge from the start.
Who's cutting onions? I've been a fan for many, many years. I can not get enough of gfreds and random races. Admittedly, I've not donated, rarely comment and often miss your streams. I hope this 'clickbait' thumbnail makes you a couple of quid as the kids in Chinese sweatshops are laughing at your hourly wage.
I’m one of the many who can’t donate. But you’ve gained a very loyal follower since the first random all and I try to watch all your videos while I’m making food or working on my car. And the reason I’ve stuck around is because you’ve been loyal to the way you run your channel. So thanks Broughy. Can’t wait to be here for the start of GTA6. And one day when I’m in a better way of life I’ll throw a donation at you :)
A small part at least is the fact that you waited to post the videos from the new vehicles until weeks and even months after the vehicles were released. You didn’t talk here about how a single vehicle video upload may help your algorithm to be seen, but also when u put out a video on a new vehicle all your subs watch it in a day. Waiting to put out info on the latest vehicles has made the info not as relevant anymore; either it was already bought, or, was ignored and no longer is on the players mind as to whether it is worth buying or not. I’m here for your testing, I don’t watch other players race much. And your Broughy Rants were always interesting. I for one appreciate the time you put into it to make it the Most Accurate Information that can be found.
If it makes you feel better, I translate TV shows for about 6.67 GBP per hour, before taxes. Please know how grateful we are for what you are doing. Thanks, Broughy.
Друже, я щиро вдячний тобі за твою роботу та ту твою частину, що ти вкладаєш у цей канал. Не опускай рук і я впевнений, що в часи GTA VI ти будеш розривати рекомендації. Сил, натхнення, удачі та успіхів тобі 🍀
I just searched "fastest cars GTA" in an Incognito tab and broughy was the 26th video to come up below a shorts tab two different ads one for "meeting older women near you" all the other videos was just enormous clickbate videos using mods
I'm gonna be honest with you, I found you when the open-wheel vehicles were introduced, I was trying to break records legitimatelly and I managed to master a couple of tracks. But then I was banned and reseted for modding money, after that I never catched up to the racing scene again, so since then I just watch your GFREDs and random races.
Been watching you since the very early testing days. I'd argue that the lack of views/interest in testing videos nowadays is also down to GTA 5 being 11 years old, you having already done them in the past (even with the classes being smaller and without some changes within the classes from then to now) and obviously the things you already mentioned. From my perspective: First of all, sorry. I am one of those that barely watch testing videos anymore. I don't really play GTA 5 anymore myself, sick of it quite frankly (map, grind, people, the whole lot, can't wait for 6). That means i'm not really interested anymore in what car is the fasted within any given class (and again, i've watched the older testing videos already, so not a whole lot has changed given how much slower the updates for online have been rolling out over the last few years). Never been big into modding so vanilla was the thing for me. I love the random races and some of the other things you've done over time. Still gonna stick around and continue watching, maybe catch a stream here and there. Looking forward to getting all my GTA 6 info from you 😉
Not everything is about money but I do also get it. I randomly stumbled upon a gfred years ago and you had me in hysterics. My partner and I routinely watch every random and gfred. Tried other people’s videos and there is no heart and no fun. You make something I would otherwise have little to no interest in extremely watchable and enjoyable. Take that as the compliment it is meant as. I should really try a testing video though. Sorry that I’m a contributor to the lack of views on those.
It would be interesting to know how much intangible value comes from the testing videos, I would assume they’ve served as an introduction for a significant portion of your audience to your channel. I wonder what the alternate universe broughy channel would be like if you never made the testing videos
if i remember correctly I found your channel a few years back from a GTAMen video where he reccomended your channel for car testing and from there I found the gfreds n' random alls
I really like the Random All videos, probably my favorite series you have But I probably wouldn't still be here watching your videos if it wasn't for the testing series. Random All (Random All of Them, to be specific) was what made me find your channel, but the testing videos, the informational videos, was what showed me that you're someone worth watching. Not BS, no clickbait; it's passionate and informational content, content that helped me organize cool championships between my friends, with a list of different but competitive cars, that granted me a bunch of fun memories. GTA is probably one of the games with the biggest ammout of truly bad content; be it those brainrot "Spider man falling down a tube with the incredible hulk" stuff, or the ultimate clickbait examples, like MrBossFucktheWorld or whatever it's called. But then, in a game filled with such a big ammout of trash content, there are some genuine good stuff, and inside thos small group of genuine good content, I can fairly say you're among the best ones, without clickbait, cheap tactics, over the top reactions or whatever. You're among the best doing informational stuff, doing stuff you do because it's something you're passionate about. All I can say is thank you!
With hourly wages like this I'll be buying my TH-camr mansion in no time!

One of the reasons I watch is your attitude to advertising and sponsors. Thanks for the years of fun and interesting content, keep it up.
The stock cars testing is what brought me to the channel and now I stay for marbles on stream. On this note, happy birthday Adam!
Found you through the testing videos years ago and don't care about them anymore as I no longer play GTA, but I still watch the entertainment content.
Keep on keeping on Broughy! I look forward to your videos every week.

Thank you for doing what you do!
once gta VI releases you will do much better, gta V is kinda dry now
I hope so
I like the spin off testing videos. Idk why others wouldn't. It's interesting
Massive respect for never selling out and always thinking of your viewers
Utility calss will make you millions with that thumbnail.
Remembered what a prime sub is and just used it on your twitch account. I don’t typically have the time to watch streams but catch up on most of the videos on here and love to tune in when I can. Keep doing you brough ❤
I saw the thumbnail and had to instantly watch the video
Your car testing videos have won me so many races 🤣 not only knowing what the fastest cars are but knowing where each & every car I'm going against stands performance wise & who to focus on before the race even starts
It’s nice to read that I’ve helped so much 😊
Im pretty sure i found this channel back in 2014 or 2015 when the cunning stunts DLC came out. The quality and attention to lap time was incomparable to the slop of airport drag races 😂. I've been watching ever since, thank you for always giving me an edge in vehicle choice broughy, I've won too many races based on your testing
Glad to know that your hourly wage on your BEST car testing video is literally minimum wage in my city. Woohoo! But seriously, these testing videos cumulatively make up the reason why so many people love this channel and Broughy content in general. You've been a crucial part of arguably the most exhaustively useful resource for any game, aside from literal encyclopedias, and maybe the views don't show it but the GTA car community is grateful for it. Because, at the end of the day, there will ALWAYS be a demographic of gamers who want to min/max their gameplay, get the best cars, score the most points, or make the most money. And even the players who don't care about that are going to care too. There's a reason why I played GTA for weeks to save up to buy the fastest supercar, and I wouldn't have really known what to buy if it weren't for you.
Frankly, your nerdiness when it comes to knowing stuff about GTA cars is no insignificant part of why I watch any one of your videos, random-alls included. That's why we've got these long-standing inside jokes about the penumbra or offroad traction loss. So even though this comment I'm writing doesn't make you any money, just know that your work is valued.
Love you Brough! The wife and I watch your random videos every Friday night for "best time of week" and all the gfreds too ❤ We even sit there in our matching unholy trinity t-shirts! I feel bad for not watching the testing videos as much recently, but I've not played GTA online in over a year!
Bruff should be the first GTA TH-camr who expands to include Nebula
It's where all the best quality content is now, and he'd fit right in
Thanks Adam. You just made my evening 😂
I know I am definitely not the first in saying this.
I honestly don’t remember how or when exactly I started watching your videos (I have a horrible memory sorry), it happened mostly in 2019/2020 due to testing videos I must have been looking for since I had just newly bought GTA 5 once I had a PC that could run it sort of decently. Stuck around and got hooked to the random races and then started watching everything on your channel, in the past 2-3 years I have been subbing on twitch here and there and always lurk on almost all streams just running in the background not even listening or seeing them. I will still try to the best of my abilities to support you since you’re the very few creators who actually doesn’t bother with what’s meta and how many ads can get stuffed in a single video or stuff like that, it’s genuinely a much better experience watching you with the decisions you take towards your audience’s benefit, and also seeing you sometimes being in horrible positions and sometimes being victorious in spectacular fashion is a tremendous emotional roller coaster. All this is the reason I have been going back and catching up with older random races and gfreds from the beginning recently to see and experience where the journey began
Thank you for being you and doing what we all love watching and hope you enjoy doing as well ❤
6:37 For this part. I recommend using your video tags to be like your video title but in phrases. Basically if you want to get a high seo then you need to insert 20 tags in that tags box & your video title "keywords" would help in that,just need to make into 2-3 phrases in the tag box. Vidiq would do the keyword inspector
I'd seen the data and even admission from TH-cam that tags do absolutely nothing. I stopped adding tags and had my most successful video ever, by a huge margin.
@@MichaelSheaAudio wow that's awesome
Lmao he actually did it 😂
Those videos are idd the reason many of your viewers are here i feel. I remember back in the day your testing videos came up quite often in the racing crew that i was in back in the day when we were discussing cars. That was back in the PS3 days. The crew has since split up but i'm sure i'm not the only one still watching the videos. The 5M thing has been a godsend i feel to provide extra options for content. GTA6 next year should be a good boost for content again i feel. I really hope they don't mess up the car handling but surely they know alot of their (long term) players are there because they enjoy the driving/racing.
Probably a factor that RDR2 online didn't do so well as traversing the map on a horse all the time is just so damn boring.
It is a shame how little you make of the testing vids but they are very much appreciated by all !
And a good way to get people to your channel that are in search for good data and are happy to see a GTA channel that isn't some dude screaming, making silly noises and having flashing lights in your face every 14 seconds.
Looking forward to your first GTA6 testing vid !
Keep up the good work!
I found you through GTASeriesVideos when you appeared in one of their streams and in their racing guide but I've been watching all of your testing videos ever since (on this account and my main one). Even this year, I've watched every testing video you've ever posted gaining you about 5,000 views in total over the past 7-8 years and I will continue to keep watching them because I enjoy seeing where the cars place in their classes.
While on the subject of spinoff videos, will there be an updated Arena Wars vehicles video as well or just the main classes? I know they probably can't be raced but just like like the HSW or Tuners vehicles, most of them would have already been tested and could save a lot of extra testing. At the same time, it may not do as well as the normal vehicle classes would be I personally would like to see it.
Been watching you for 10 years now, and I would never have guessed it paid that badly. I make videos for a rallycross team with two 360 cams + 2 Gopros and a handheld. One heat of 3 minutes takes 4-5 hours to make. My most viewed video is 29k and only generated 50 dollars. 😅 I would have been in the negative if I lived by revanue alone.
I think you need to tap into the market briefly explored by Clarkson & May; Adam Brough's Speed of Birds.
I think the 2024 tests were great for perfecting the formula to test all GTA 6 cars in the future.
I hope you'll get a big boom in subscribers once GTA 6 is out, if you use your current knowledge from the start.
Who's cutting onions? I've been a fan for many, many years. I can not get enough of gfreds and random races. Admittedly, I've not donated, rarely comment and often miss your streams. I hope this 'clickbait' thumbnail makes you a couple of quid as the kids in Chinese sweatshops are laughing at your hourly wage.
While the pay is poor, it's the testing vids that brought me to your channel. Keep up the good work!
Broughy has integrity, that's why we keep coming back, everything else is secondary.
Ive never expected a thumb like this in this channel lmao
I’m one of the many who can’t donate. But you’ve gained a very loyal follower since the first random all and I try to watch all your videos while I’m making food or working on my car.
And the reason I’ve stuck around is because you’ve been loyal to the way you run your channel.
So thanks Broughy. Can’t wait to be here for the start of GTA6.
And one day when I’m in a better way of life I’ll throw a donation at you :)
A small part at least is the fact that you waited to post the videos from the new vehicles until weeks and even months after the vehicles were released. You didn’t talk here about how a single vehicle video upload may help your algorithm to be seen, but also when u put out a video on a new vehicle all your subs watch it in a day. Waiting to put out info on the latest vehicles has made the info not as relevant anymore; either it was already bought, or, was ignored and no longer is on the players mind as to whether it is worth buying or not. I’m here for your testing, I don’t watch other players race much. And your Broughy Rants were always interesting. I for one appreciate the time you put into it to make it the Most Accurate Information that can be found.
If it makes you feel better, I translate TV shows for about 6.67 GBP per hour, before taxes. Please know how grateful we are for what you are doing. Thanks, Broughy.
Друже, я щиро вдячний тобі за твою роботу та ту твою частину, що ти вкладаєш у цей канал. Не опускай рук і я впевнений, що в часи GTA VI ти будеш розривати рекомендації. Сил, натхнення, удачі та успіхів тобі 🍀
I just searched "fastest cars GTA" in an Incognito tab and broughy was the 26th video to come up below a shorts tab two different ads one for "meeting older women near you"
all the other videos was just enormous clickbate videos using mods
Hey guys, MrBroughy For The Win here and in today’s GTA V Grand Theft Auto Five Online videooooo
Well we know that Broughy isn't doing it for the money, he does it for all the exclusives and the superstar status.
The integrity of this man is inspiring. It's easy to see why so many support him. broughyLove
The testing videos may not have made you a lot of money.
But it saved me a fortune in gta 😂
Thanks dude it's really appreciated.
As a Grumpy 50 something year old Gamer I came from the testing and stayed for the constant fails and fun 🤣
my gfred shirt is my most prized possession. I love explaining it to people who ask what it means.
thanks 🙂
I'm gonna be honest with you, I found you when the open-wheel vehicles were introduced, I was trying to break records legitimatelly and I managed to master a couple of tracks.
But then I was banned and reseted for modding money, after that I never catched up to the racing scene again, so since then I just watch your GFREDs and random races.
Been watching you since the very early testing days.
I'd argue that the lack of views/interest in testing videos nowadays is also down to GTA 5 being 11 years old, you having already done them in the past (even with the classes being smaller and without some changes within the classes from then to now) and obviously the things you already mentioned.
From my perspective: First of all, sorry. I am one of those that barely watch testing videos anymore. I don't really play GTA 5 anymore myself, sick of it quite frankly (map, grind, people, the whole lot, can't wait for 6). That means i'm not really interested anymore in what car is the fasted within any given class (and again, i've watched the older testing videos already, so not a whole lot has changed given how much slower the updates for online have been rolling out over the last few years). Never been big into modding so vanilla was the thing for me. I love the random races and some of the other things you've done over time. Still gonna stick around and continue watching, maybe catch a stream here and there. Looking forward to getting all my GTA 6 info from you 😉
Hopefully you'll get a raise in 2035 when GTA6 comes out
Thumbnail makes me Broughy curious. 😂
Not everything is about money but I do also get it.
I randomly stumbled upon a gfred years ago and you had me in hysterics. My partner and I routinely watch every random and gfred. Tried other people’s videos and there is no heart and no fun. You make something I would otherwise have little to no interest in extremely watchable and enjoyable. Take that as the compliment it is meant as.
I should really try a testing video though. Sorry that I’m a contributor to the lack of views on those.
You mad lad, you actually used that thumbnail 😂
Impeccable thumbnail
Yes, I, too, would like to thank me.
The thumbnail worked on me 😂
Thanks for great content!
I don't play GTA very often anymore but for everything you do to keep us entertained, I say thank YOU Broughy.
I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the fastest industrial vehicles video.
I unironically enjoy testing the more obscure classes the most, so I’m right there with you 😅
Thank you brough.
Thumbnail got me unironically
So much money, but still no 🍕
outstanding. sensational.
It would be interesting to know how much intangible value comes from the testing videos, I would assume they’ve served as an introduction for a significant portion of your audience to your channel. I wonder what the alternate universe broughy channel would be like if you never made the testing videos
if i remember correctly I found your channel a few years back from a GTAMen video where he reccomended your channel for car testing and from there I found the gfreds n' random alls
I really like the Random All videos, probably my favorite series you have
But I probably wouldn't still be here watching your videos if it wasn't for the testing series. Random All (Random All of Them, to be specific) was what made me find your channel, but the testing videos, the informational videos, was what showed me that you're someone worth watching. Not BS, no clickbait; it's passionate and informational content, content that helped me organize cool championships between my friends, with a list of different but competitive cars, that granted me a bunch of fun memories.
GTA is probably one of the games with the biggest ammout of truly bad content; be it those brainrot "Spider man falling down a tube with the incredible hulk" stuff, or the ultimate clickbait examples, like MrBossFucktheWorld or whatever it's called. But then, in a game filled with such a big ammout of trash content, there are some genuine good stuff, and inside thos small group of genuine good content, I can fairly say you're among the best ones, without clickbait, cheap tactics, over the top reactions or whatever. You're among the best doing informational stuff, doing stuff you do because it's something you're passionate about.
All I can say is thank you!
