Possible new forum?

I've watched a ton of videos but they are technique specific and to increase my knowledge.  I just watched all of Glenn's Tube video and went out and TORE it up on them today.  But just to watch some mook fish...or better yet....OPEN A FRIGGIN BOX.  Nope.  Generational thing.  No real offense meant to anyone but I have no desire to watch YOU fish.  I'd rather watch ME fish with the actual rod in my hand and the sun on my back.

My only question is, will using the ever common "If you like this video, click Subscribe" phrase get me booted and videos removed? It seems like that's obvious self promotion, but almost every video ends in that manner saying something about subscription. Do I just have to make videos that don't ask folks to continue watching my content?

If you notice, none of my videos ask for people to subscribe.  I set the bar high for myself.  I tell myself I have to make videos so good that people will want to subscribe. 

If have to beg for subscribers, then that's a clear sign my videos suck.

Ya...me too.  Not sure why anyone wants to watch a guy shopping for lures with his kids, or watching a video of some guy standing in front a barn talking about what videos he wants to make. Seriously???  LOL!

Oh wait!  It's cool because there's a frivolous drone shot added in the middle somewhere!

i don't get it? 

why do so many people want to have videos?  

i have clicked on links out of curiousity and there b a 30minute video of just chucking & cranking flats.

i have noticed most seem to be younger ( under 40).  

not trying to put say its wrong, just trying to get the point of the non educational videos.

I don't get it either, I did a few talking about tackle and boat organization, a casting technique and a few with different brands of trailers on swim jigs, posted in a thread on this site somewhere  

I may eventually do some specific to fishing certain cover with a specific technique and keep it short. I like Glenn's philosophy on not begging for subscribers, make good stuff and people will find it. 

Where I see the most promotion going on is on Twitter and Instagram, I may be guilty of doing a bit of that for a 0% discount lol.

 i'm laughing over here because you just described the Lucky Tackle Box videos 100%

At this point what technique is there not at least 3 to 5 videos explaining it by some well rounded angler, semi pro, or pro? I mean how many times have you got to hear "semi-slack" or "pilings" "rocks" or "wood".

Unless you have been dead the last 100 years a pet dog can show you how to Texas Rig, and Carolina Rig. And let's not forget the word "finesse" has been said enough my great great great grandkids will be hearing it in their sleep. 

Seriously what is there not videos of?

Interesting subject. I have a YouTube page that is older than most Youtubers pages,yet I don't advertise it on Internet forums.I made these videos to have the memory of me doing some of my favorite sports and I am still making videos.Its nice to have these videos and look at them whenever I want.

Was this ever made? PM me your YouTube handle because that's a channel I could get behind! (sarcasm of course).
