I've read that thread. Dale talks more about his preference for YouTubers and his preference when it comes to the style of videos he likes. I was asking more for people's opinion on why rx7 youtubers don't do as well as other car content creators.

Shop is being setup and tools are already bought. I'm looking to create content not really for the financial benefit but for the purpose of recording the growth of my cars, and my knowledge, and hopefully that can help someone else or just bring entertainment.

Thanks for the response some very interesting information. I've realized that too that they require multiple consistent uploads in order to see growth. I think one of the advantages to my channel will be the amount of camera equipment I have. decent high end camera, gimbal, etc. I will be able to do multiple shots that isn't just a head talking and create more cinematic like videos too. I will have a mix of both. I've also realized I don't want my channel to be locked to a certain car so I will create videos of my friends cars and this will help to have multiple uploads.

Do you not like people trying something different? I've seen a small pattern of people online trying to bring others down for pursuing something "different". So what's your reasoning for trying to bring someone down? Are you projecting? just hating to hate?

kind of confusing trying to figure who you may be responding to in those last four posts, but ok I’ll bite.
When you put yourself front in center out in public then you have to expect anything and everything; from praise and glory, to general acceptance, to honest criticism, and even petty jealousy and hate. That’s just how it is in the imperfect reality of human existence. What you can’t expect is not to receive criticism regardless of the intent. Now maybe you disagree, but for me I’d rather have it put out right in front in open view than than either be shot or stabbed from behind at a distance , but that’s just me.
I put myself out in front on forums with my views and receive plenty of criticism. Just like I did with my previous post earlier in this thread. However, I don’t even bother categorizing it into constructive or not, honest or not, sincere or not, projecting or not, hate or not, etc.. Because it doesn’t really matter to me personally. So there’s my one “who cares” view on that.
The difference between a forum and youtube is this; you can’t see someone on a forum, their facial expressions and other body language traits and so on. Yet on a video you get to see it all, even if the people in the video are just putting on a fake presence. So just out of curiosity, are you getting riled over everyone who you think is projecting or expressing hate on this forum, or just depending on the one’s you either agree or disagree with? Because that in itself speaks silent volumes.
Because then the one thing in common between a forum and youboob is simply this; tribalism. That good ‘ol us vs them brought about by a general need of most people to “belong” or “herd” or whatever term you feel best describes that general social trait/need of fitting in and banding together to form a hierarchy of some sort. However, there are people who either don’t have that need, or can shift between both extremes. They can stand on their own two feet, even before a group of hostile, like-minded people. And we could get into all that, but I’ll just get to the point instead.
Because see in that last post what you did above, was to call out someone who didn’t just go along. Someone who stood up and “did something different”. Who wasn’t just some numnut fanboi going along with or virtue-signaling to the group-think applauds and praise. In essence, you did exactly what you were complaining about. So it begs the question; is that your own hate or your own projection?
Honestly, I don’t even really care what it is. I’m just sayin’, that’s all. Because this is a forum and all I have in front of me is a block of text. When it comes to a video I tend to be more confident about what’s actually in front of me regardless of how staged and phony it may or may not be. Which then also am likely to express stronger criticism as a result if that’s what is driving me to respond. Because the one thing I learned in this life is; if a man can’t face and confidently navigate his way either through criticism or to the truth about himself, he’ll never reach a true potential. Further, it’s just one man’s opinion that you don’t have to give a single shake of a lamb’s tail about.
Try chewing on that for a bit.

I completely understand that. It doesn't bother me if someone disagrees with me. The issue is when someone tries to put someone else down for what they want to do. That's what I'm trying to target. Again there's a difference between disagreeing with someone ideas/action vs putting someone down for what they want to do. That's the behavior I'm trying to correct. How are going to create dialect from hating? I understand hating is part of the internet some people let it slide I will not. I will do my best to correct behavior regardless if its online or in person. I didn't call out someone for not agreeing with me. He said "Yeah but…how’s he going to express his “passion”?" what constructive conversation would come out with this? that's not being different. I don't completely understand how you reached that conclusion but thanks for the advice. I genuinely do appreciate your time.

Oh please. To be precise, I’m just not taking you seriously. And I doubt I’m alone.
You ostensibly wanted to know why such videos indulging this ‘passion’ don’t attract a larger audience. For me it’s simple. For a number of reasons more than hinted at above you have no credibility. And your content in all likelihood won’t be interesting beyond the choice of cars.
If you think that’s putting you down, I guess I’ll own it but it wasn’t my motive for saying it.
If you think that’s hating then I suspect you also have a shelf full of participation trophies.

Go do something with the car. Let's see you build it for a specific autocross class, and try to get some wins. Look at the Gears and Gasoline guys. If you take a racing car angle, everyone who likes racing and going fast and RX7s will watch. If you only modify the RX7, only people interested in RX7s will watch.
Wasn't Nationals last year won in an FD?

My .02, if you're going to video record your history with your car, just be you and do you.
IMO, success or failure will come to your videos no matter what style of content you do, but it'll only be a job if it can be sustainable (i.e. you don't end up hating doing it day after day). With any hobby turned job, there is the risk that it won't earn you a living or it'll make you hate the hobby. I'd prioritize making a healthy habit of recording, editing, and uploading regularly and learning to love the process first, even if it means earning your living in a different, safer career. It'll set you up to make the jump better if/when your videos gain traction.
Rotary cars are niche cars. The RX7 as a symbol is probably more important to 90% of non-owners, and ownership experience less important.
I think most people I talk to at gas stations have already decided an RX7 is something they love to look at but would never own, and they didn't need a video to decide this. That said, I think the type of RX7 content that's super lacking on YouTube is first-time-ownership experience. It's definitely something I'd watch.
