content: Quote from: German_EE on July 01, 2016, 08:39:32 amBeen wondering the same. I am sure he is very busy. I do know some person was verbally putting down his videos. But I am sure he has thick skin and can handle that.QuoteI have thought about this very thing. Even thought about posting a discussion on it. Not pointing fingers (Not Signal Path or EEVBlog) but I do see a LOT of YouTube channel owners that do not reply or even thanks folks for responding. Now I can understand channels that have hundreds of thousands subs and a few hundred post not being able to at least say thanks for watching. But this seems to become the norm for even small channels now. If I get to the point and do not respond to my viewers I hope to be called out on it.

content: It's an interesting channel and whenever a new video is posted it is something to look forward to.Honestly, if I were posting videos I don't know how long you would have to wait for the next one. I have so many things to do other than making videos.For most people posting YouTube videos is a hobby, not a career. Be grateful that any videos appear at all.

content: Quote from: Radio Tech on July 02, 2016, 12:16:32 amI personally do try to reply to Youtube comments, but yeah the volume is large. You stand the best chance in the first day a video is released when I will generally monitor comments more closely.I think it's an important thing for a content producer to do, and possibly has played a good part in my channels success.

content: These videos take an enormous effort. He plans and outlines, followed by design and setup of experiments. He buys gear specifically for doing a video that sometimes requires parts to be ordered. I have no idea how he has done what he has done while having a day job too. I am just thankful for what he has done.Sent from my horrible mobile....

content: Quote from: EEVblog on July 02, 2016, 03:18:45 amI do not see a way someone like you could reply to all of them. Being that this is your full time job. It would be impossible. You have the forum here for comments. When I made the comment about no replies I was mostly referring to smaller channels. Take my latest video for example. I have close to 25 comments, I did reply to each which led to more comments. I have just over 1500 subs. Following the 2-3% views from the norm subs if I had 15k subs then the story would change.I do not know how you guys do it. My email is stuck at 999+ unread

Frankly, I'm impressed how many videos he normally produces given the depth and quality of each, along with the day job too.Btw, he's @TheSignalPath on twitter (and active last week)https://twitter.com/TheSignalPath/with_replies

content: I'd like to also offer my thanks for the wonderful videos he has created.I have seen some negative comments posted related to his videos and was concerned he may have taken them to heart. Sometimes we put so much effort into a pursuit that a little piece of ourselves is also included. This can make the blade of criticism all the sharper and be quite disheartening.I. like the many posting here, would like to offer my appreciation for his efforts and look forward to viewing a new video soon.
