  You have the very best channel of this genre, not from an informational standpoint but the psychology/mental state required to make such a drastic move successful from a male perspective. You and Old Dog both, it&apos;s like yall are speaking directly to me.

  I think there is a lot of subscribers like myself who don’t interact very much and assume your channel will always be there.

  Reekay,<br><br>I would hate it if your channel were to become like the other normie conformies. &nbsp;I watch your videos when they have time because they are informative.

  Have watched your channel for a few years now and love all your content. I as many others will be very sad to see you change or stop making videos. Keep up the good work Reekay.

  Reekay, don&apos;t change who you are in terms of your content and not doing it for clickbait and cheap thrills. &nbsp;Your insights to the Philippines was a HUGE contributor to me traveling and eventually meeting my current wife going on nine years from the Philippines. Your balanced insights of daily life in &nbsp;the Philippines and meeting a Filipina were very refreshing and reality based and not resorting to gimmicks, but giving the raw and unfiltered truth, both pros and cons of being an expat. I guess I&apos;m not the only one you inspired to take that chance and get out of one&apos;s comfort zone and experience what you&apos;ve been doing for 13 years. I became acquainted with your channel around 2015 and never looked back. &nbsp;Thank You for your inspiration and don&apos;t change!

Goodluck to everyone.

  You don&apos;t have to change anything around or do anything different. Just continue what you&apos;re doing. Why re-invent the wheel.

  Hi Reekay! I first started watching way back in 2012 when you first started. You&apos;re right things were very different back then compared to now. There were actually very few channels that talked about Philippines. I much preferred that time from 2012 to 2017. You could call them the golden years. You were the first that got me interested in the Philippines as a tourist spot and maybe one day a potential retirement spot. I really appreciate all the information you have given me over the years not just the Philippines but things such as banking as an expat. What&apos;s happening now is we&apos;ve seen an explosion (particularly after 2017) in technology, apps, smart phones which has really changed the landscape of social media. I got my first Iphone in 2020. YouTube channels are very similar to TV shows. Things change and audience preferences change. The main thing is you keep on enjoying what you are doing as a YouTuber.
