Do you unsub from your favorite Y-Tube channel when they start popping out babies?

[BAD ORCA]

I'm just curious if i'm an outlier or anyone else feel the same? Not out of spite or anything like that, just from not wanting to watch a 'raising our kid' channel.

Three of my top youtube channels were so interesting and raw/fresh (for lack of a better word) when they were new and doing their thing. Once they became a success several years later the babies started popping out of the woman and it kinda ruined the channel in my opinion. Not that i have anything against children, love them as much as any other person, but i'm not really into watching a family channel.

Anyway, just bored having a coffee and was wondering if anyone else feels the same? My ex did accuse me of having 'commitment issues', so that likely has something to do with it

I'm just bummed. Really good and interesting sailing/youtube channels are hard to find. Some like Alluring Arctic very hard since they are very niche. Sadly, Alluring Arctic is one on my list of three. Although the kid hasnt arrived yet (due soon), i'm not optimistic about future direction of the channel.

I wonder from the youtubers perspective if when they have kids and make them a part of their channel if that actually increases their viewership? Not that i'm suggesting they are having kids to increase viewership. The young couples are just 'reaching that age'.

Not really about sailing. Maybe this should be in the sail call lounge forum.

If you didn't notice, we've moved.

Oh sorry, I never scrolled that far down the forum list and didnt even know it existed.

A veteran of the ad biz once told me that if you don't get it, you're probably not the target.

I'm a fan of sailing channels, like Sailing Florence, Sailing Alone. And I'm a fan of build/refit channels, like Duracell Project and Refit and Sail.

Then there's RAN Sailing which went from sailing to building something interesting. And Sampson Boat Co, which went from building something interesting to sailing it. I still watch both.

And sometimes channels drift away from the reasons I started watching them. It's their channels, they make it for free, c'est la vie, right?

Before we took off on our adventures and right after I retired I watched seemingly (to my wife at least) endless hours of people cruising on YouTube. I watched competent sailors in interesting places and slow motion train wrecks. Once we returned from our adventures I found myself watching fewer cruising videos and more build or major refit videos, you know the folks, Sail Life, Sailing Uma, Sampson Boatworks, Acorn to Arabella, Ran Sailing, Odd Life Crafting and Delos with their catamaran build. Cruising only videos I catch on occasion when they pop up on my feed or I wonder how they are doing.

Kids as a deterrent, not so much. The kids show up on Ran, Delos, and Odd Life in small doses and they aren't the focus of the series, which is fine with me.
