Goodbye KZhead? Invalid Traffic? Been a Loooong Year.
First, to anyone that has followed my videos, clicked like, subscribed, commented, or used a link --- Thank You! If you would like to subscribe to the new channel - link.learnwithtravis.com/eBikeSub Once again, thank you and hopefully things improve in time!
This just happened to me. So sorry to hear this happened to you. I hope this gets resolved for you
Thank you! I hope so as well and also hope that this is resolved for you soon!
I have really loved your videos. It helped me buy the best bike for my needs and learn how to use it.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Still crossing my fingers I get to keep doing this!
Subscribed to the new channel, Travis! Let’s get the new one to 1,000+, guys!
Thank you so much Dave!!! Have new bikes starting to come in so the reviews will be coming!
Sorry to hear about this! I appreciate your reviews
Thank you! Going to have some fun with the eBike channel and hope KZhead stops hitting this one so I can come back.
I legit watch your videos and sometimes click on product links. I pay for KZhead Premium so I don't see commercials.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Hopefully the attack stops or KZhead figures out how to not impact legit channels.
KZhead is so unfair! I bought because of your videos. See you on the new channel!
It really can be! Thank you so much!!!!
Sorry for the issue. I've used your channel to help me buy products. You do a great job! KZhead is absolutely headed in the wrong direction, the number of obnoxious commercials they now force on us to watch even a short couple minute video is offensive. They've become just another big, greedy corporation.
Thank you so much! My wife and I have noticed that as well. The commercials forced on you have increased dramatically. Sort of feels they are turning into that. Hope it gets better.
I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. I was a content creator for awhile too and saw this from so many of my fellow creators. Issues other than yours too. It is ridiculous and I hope things turn around for you and I will continue to help support you!
Means the world! I hope it gets resolved and your support means so much!
Have watched your channel since pretty much the beginning. From peloton to everything else. You make quality videos. Will also subscribe to your new channel. Keep up the good work and thank you for the great content over the years.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the views and the many comments you are have left supporting my channel over the years. Hopefully this is just a bump in the road!
What a PITA! Well, I finally got a TONAL set up, partly because of the reviews you did on it, and I have to say it is a godsend for me and how I use it. It’s a real motivator, has great coaching, and is just fun to use. Thanks to you and your reviews, I’m finally in “the gym”, so to speak. You’re one of the only content producers that I trust. I’m so sorry that KZhead is giving you a hard time, hopefully they get it worked out so you can produce again.
You got it! So glad it is working out so well for you! I am on the fence on keeping or selling mine with everything going on. If it goes I will be sad. It is a sweet machine! Oh, got caught in Tonal talk.... Thank you for the kind words! I so very much appreciate it!
Let me put my $.02 in. After watching your reviews on stationary bikes, I used tips offered by your channel to conduct my own research. I watched your content and many others rate various brands and what they had to offer. Then I contacted the top pics from your channel and many others and emailed each manufacturer. I documented the company’s response time to my email. Very few customer service representatives responded. I documented my wait times. The following week, I placed phone calls to the same manufacturers and again documented my hold time, wait times and if I even received a live person or recording. I again followed up with these “top” stationary bike companies and checked to see what they had in stock and how long it would take to ship. In short, from your channel I learned a lot. I’m not a content creator or a feed back specialist, I’m just an average consumer thinking outside of the box. So, what did I get from subscribing to your channel? Well, I didn’t receive a degree from KZhead University, I got my street cred from you, Travis… for taking the time and creating good content for people like me, just an average consumer taking your knowledge to a different level. You helped me rate the customer service of these companies and decided to take a little more extra time and cut the direct ship to the consumer and shop on 3Bay and Ama$on. KZhead is changing their ways to help their company grow. By the way, thank $ou$ube for stealing your content to help themselves. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! Like I said, I just want to help people make the best decision for them and if I can do that it makes my day. So your comment does just that. I really really appreciate the kind words and it helps give me the motivation to keep pushing and hopefully see through this. Have a great one!
I've watch many of your videos and love your approach. It's unfortunate you are experiencing this issue. Creating content takes a lot of work. Thanks for that you have done over the years.
Thank you so much and it is my pleasure! Hopefully things work out and I can keep on creating! I sure don't want to stop!
I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Your videos absolutely helped me with my spin bike purchase and I enjoy your content. Unfortunately, you're not the first content creator I've seen make a similar video to this and a lot of folks have moved to Rumble. I don't know if that's even feasible for you, I don't know that much about the different platforms. Best of luck, Travis!
Thank you so much! It is actually a huge issue impact way too many creators. I need to look into Rumble a little more and see if it is an option.
I love your video's. It makes me sad that this is happening to you. I literally love your content so much. Anything fitness tech is my preferred choice on KZhead and you are a creator that makes video's that I want to see. I so hope that KZhead will sort it out and stop accusing people like yourself of cheating. Best of luck. I really hope that you are able to continue in the future 😊
That is so nice of you! The kind words are so very much appreciated. I am motivated to keep going. Just need to figure out a new path forward! Fingers crossed it all works out!
@Learnwithtravis I really hope you find a new approach. Your content has lots of fans. I really wish you all the best and I'll look forward to seeing more from you 😊
Really appreciate your content and your clear communication style. You are one of the best at what you do.
Thank you so much. It really means a lot.
Sorry to hear that I like watching your videos they really help me make better decisions on purchases for my health.
I appreciate it. Hopefully a year from now I will be saying that stunk but glad it is over!
Sorry you are dealing with this. I would reflexively write ". . . dealing with this nonsense" but it is not nonsense. Instead, it is quite disturbing. It is akin to Kafka's "The Trial" and we are all seeing this in a variety of aspects in our everyday lives. I subscribed to your new channel and wish you the best! God bless!
Thank you so much! Going to focus on the new channel more and hope I can come back here as I will miss doing this type of content.
Wow that's terrible to hear! Honestly loved your style of reviews, helped me decide on the Bowflex Velocore!
Thank you so much and glad to hear the videos have helped out! That is why I do this!
I’m so sorry this is happening to you, this is crazy!!
I really is! I thought it would be a short problem. Never guessed it would play out like this.
This too bad. I watched your videos when deciding to buy a Peloton bike.
Yeah, but thank you for watching! Hopefully this is just a bump in the road.
This is so ridiculous. This channel is the reason why I bit the bullet on my peloton gym!
I hope the gym is working out well! Maybe KZhead will listen and fix this!
It's so unfair. 👎 Subscribed to the new channel. Your videos have so much detail and information that KZhead will certainly be missing out.
It is so unfair! I don't want to stop! Thank you so much for the sub. Maybe this ends up being the start of a new KZhead adventure! (I try to stay optimistic)
I love your videos!
Thank you Jeff!
hopefully it works out in the end.
I hope so!
I applaud you for going out and making big purchases and making videos reviewing them. But honestly I don't think connected fitness is the future. Even Peloton agrees and is moving away from hardware. There are other things in life that are the future like EV and AI but Connected Fitness in my opinion was just a demand during the pandemic. Only few still uses Connected Fitness and most people realize working out away from their homes works.
Appreciate that and valid points. I personally think it will stay around but the number options will come down and it will be more of a niche thing. I believe Bowflex just went bankrupt and I have a feeling others will follow. Things will consolidate and we will have a few players left over. Will be interesting to see how it shakes out!
If it possible for you to sue KZhead? (I'm no legal expert). You should like initiate a complaint to the FTC or whomever if you think you weren't treated fairly
Naw. Not being salty but realistic… I am one person and there is no way I can win against Google. The only real option I see is letting people know, hope KZhead realizes it is not right to hurt the very people that make the platform work (speaking much larger than myself), and hope they do the right thing.
@@Learnwithtravis I believe KZhead cares more about themselves making profits and cares less about hurting others like you (if they think they can get away with it).
So sorry. I will miss your videos.
Thank you! Hopefully things work out!
I’m sorry that these crappy biased, racist tech companies are abusing you. You have always been a great streamer. It sounds like they are starting to not want to pay people. I, personally, have enjoyed all the content you provided. Maybe they will get regulated soon.
Thank you! Maybe someday enough noise will get made that KZhead will do the right thing and protect their creators. I have not given up yet! Thanks again for the kind words!
Rumble
Yeah, I will put some more time looking into them.
Rumble?
I have been thinking about it. They want me to come over. Just not sure. Need to do more research.
I’ve learned a lot from your channel. What a shame.
Glad to hear that! Hopefully there is more to be learned! We will see if KZhead decides to do the right thing.
Been watching you for a bit and can't really figure out how you would be cheating. A thought though ... could you have said something in a review that a company (or more) didn't like and set up services to send you bad traffic to hurt you? Looking at your views, I do see a few videos with lots of views - making is suspicious, and others that seem to be - what I would consider, normal volume of views.
Soooo, I didn't say this in the video because it would make the video way too long to explain in detail, but before all this went down I had a surge in traffic mostly from Russia. I looked into the traffic and it was clearly manipulated. I contacted KZhead and they said I would be fine and it was not of concern. Less than 2 months later this all started. KZhead would not listen at all when I tried to explain all of this. So my personal belief is that either a company or another KZhead creator sent this traffic at my channel. I could be wrong but that is my gut feeling. It bums me out that KZhead creates an environment that allows a channel to be attacked like this. (If that is what happened)
I would advise not promoting your 2nd channel here, anyone that is "messing" with your traffic can just hop on your new channel and do the same thing.
Very good point. I will be careful for sure.
Do you post on Instagram?? Share that link or others in the video earlier on next time.
Only lightly but good point. I will do that.
