Today Is the Day I hit 50 Subscribers on YouTube.

If you want to make it 51, you can subscribe at www.ryangaffney.com/video


Ironically, the other channel I have, which I actually started developing in earnest first, has been growing less quickly and still hasn’t hit 50. It’s at www.ryangaffney.com/movies

There are a couple of reasons I can see for this. MOVIEPASStor is inherently limited in scope. You kinda have to like movies to want to sub to that. And you also have to like Jesus and being kinda thinky about Jesus. And what’s more, in order to watch any particular video, you really want to have seen the movie first. So it doesn’t get that many views even among fans. And on top of all that, it was all about me liking going to movie theaters, and those are all closed right now and have been for half the life of the channel. Soooo not a good mix

My own personal general YouTube channel (www.ryangaffney.com/video) makes it so you really only have to like Jesus, but you have to be willing to put up with some content (like sermon videos) you might not want to get to content you do (like Ask the Pastor) buuut, because of that, it has one other major advantage… more videos per week. And frankly I think that makes all the difference.
