Actually like this style of video (whether intentional or not) were you just chatting (maybe about boardgames, theatre, music etc) but having the painting hobby edited in and out of the talking head. It's like the motorbike channels I watch were they ignore the usual specs and reviews and just pootle along talking about the scenery, coffee shops and people they meet.

As a relatively new subscriber, and someone new to doing my own KZitem videos, this is quite a refreshing video to watch. It must be a nightmare trying to chase the algorithm and stay ahead/keep up with the latest trends in the hobby. Looking forward to seeing the new content, I'm sure it will be a nice relief to do some hobby and paint stuff because you like it and aren't trying to 'keep up'.

I admire your courage to do so. KZitem isn’t a great platform, when it becomes your job it will take over more than you’d like. Keep up the great spirit and see you again soon.

Excellent video! Everyone's sick of seeing KZitemrs bend over to be a tool for Games Workshop's marketing department. Viewers can tell when a KZitemr is churning-out content for spon-con, or because they think they've second-guessed what will get clicks and try to justify it by saying they need to "Satisfy the algorithm". Thankyou for speaking-up about this. Do the hobby in a way you enjoy it, and at your own pace -- it's better for your health and happiness, and it makes for a far more interesting video.

Nice to see you have found your groove again. You mentioned Luke, is the lad OK? He did look down when he announced his retirement from his YT activities. I hate to think that any of you dudes are suffering. In the mean time, I like you, noticed my pile of shame and thought more painting needed to be done. Naturally I resolved not to buy anymore GW stuff until I did this. Consequently I bought a big box of Bolt Action and some tanks and am two thirds of the way through painting these. Goal achieved 😁

I've recently learnt that life is way too short. I have a pile of shame. I work through it but about 6 years ago, I said I'm not buying anymore until I've done what I want. The pile of shame has remained abliet, not as big. I work through it bit by bit. I find those who jump on the hype train aren't in it for the hobby as It means to me. Lol I'd love to have 3rd edition 40k minis and my current painting techniques. But I can see the change in you Josh, tbh I saw it when you left working with Luke. Your flair for the hobby changed. I understand as to why also. Just enjoy what you enjoy. We aren't here for a long time. But we can enjoy our free time, the way we want to.
