      My nose is dry stuffed all the time. The way I deal with that is xylometazoline drops... I know, I know just hear me out....I mix it with saline solution at least 10-1 and I add a tiny ammount of glycerin. It takes at least 15-20 minutes before they take effect that way but it still works. I went to at least a dozen of specialists, they gave me all sorts of stuff, no change. I was really exhausted because I could not sleep with pressure in my face. Finally when I started to do the thing with the drops, I'm fine. During my last checkup with the doctor I mentioned my trick, he said that this is actually very good way to deal with it.

    Mat, after hearing your 2022 story, I’m astonished that you’ve managed to put out 50 great videos this year. I’m subscribed to a huge number of channels, which means I’m selective about what I watch. There are many for which I watch only some of their videos, and many that I don’t stay subscribed to indefinitely. Techmoan is the opposite: I enjoy your videos (including all of 2022’s) more than almost any other channel’s, and unsubscribing would be unthinkable. I’m looking forward to whatever you have to offer in 2023. My family is working through some similar challenges to yours, and my thoughts are with you. Take care.

  • @psyoptic
    @psyoptic Před rokem +183

    In regard to the video length criticisms: One of the reasons I watch all of your videos IS because they're long and have a natural flow to them. I'm not even that interested in audio equipment/formats but I'm completely engaged for the entirety of every video. Thanks for all the great content!

    I've been a silent supporter of this channel for years now. I've watched just about every single video and I rewatch a ton of your videos. I love that you have playlists setup so I can revisit different categories of videos every few months. That rewatch ability can be directly connecting with you and your wonderful personality. The tech is great to learn about, but you bring it to life. Your mix of humor, wit, and natural interest in learning more and getting your hands dirty really makes every video special. I love how you haven't gone down the sponsorship route, being able to buy in all of the things that you have featured simply because they interest you. That real interest comes off in your videos and it makes them much more entertaining to watch. Real impressions, no holding back. I follow a handful of tech reviewers you could say, and you are among the best. You have brightened my day more times than I can count, so I thank you for that.
    As far as those that would make such silly criticisms like talking about clearing your nose, the length of videos, or bizarre audiophile rants, you just have to kind of file those to one side. Being on an open platform means that there will be a small minority of commenters that are just off. They aren't happy people and take that out on the creators that they come across that just happen to rub them the wrong way. You come across as very strong person, so I doubt these comments hang with you long, but you're also human, so I'm sure they can irk you when you see them. Just remember that the vast majority of us that watch your content regularly, feel differently. We love the long form videos, we arent thinking about how you breathe or any other rubbish like that. You've built up a solid fanbase that will stick with you regardless of the number of videos you make, or how long they are. As long as it's still authentically you, then we are happy to be part of it.
    Regarding your 2022, I don't think you owe any of us an explanation about your personal life, medical issues, etc. Most of us, again, are happy to be patient and quickly show up whenever you post a new video. I myself never even though about you putting out weekly videos. I just wait to see you turn up with a new video and go watch. Since you did decide to share details about your life in 2022, I will say that I'm sorry to hear about your mom, helping your dad and your own personal issues. Dealing with all of that at once is filled with stress and emotions. On top of that, you have so many things to take care of, trying to not let the emotions keep you down, to keep moving forward. I remember the videos you did that surrounded items you were getting for your parents and how much I could tell that you really wanted to help them enjoy life through that tech. You have been a great son to them, and I know your mom will always be with you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you are able to get to a much better place with your own health. It may sound sappy, but there is a sort of family feel that develops between CZcams creators and their fans. The core viewers that really get you, feel almost as if we are friends or family. Hence why many people call you by your first name here. I feel a little awkward doing it myself, but that's just me lol. We care about your well-being as much as we care about your content. If I had a chance to meet you someday, I'd want to shake your hand and thank you in person.
    If you need to take breaks, if you need to make fewer videos, if you need time to focus on your own health or your family, you don't need to explain it to us. The people that get you, who get your content, will always be here to do what we can to support you. Even if that's just a like and subscribe. I do appreciate updates about how things are going, simply because I care, but you could always keep it as simple as saying you have life to take care of and will be away for a while, but you will be back. As you said, we should all keep it in mind that the creators we follow have real lives that should take priority and that the 'job' they have taken a lot more work and effort than you might realize. Creators on youtube burn out all the time. It can be very stressful and even self-destructive. So, keep it all about having fun and enjoying what you're doing. Take all the breaks you can to recharge.
    Sorry about the long post, but I really thought it warranted it here. It seemed only fair to reply to you in as much detail as I could, to honor what you've given us all these years and even just the effort to put together this long video, which I enjoyed very much. Of course, it's sad to hear about the trouble of the past year, but I appreciate what you have given us this year and look forward to whatever is in store for next year. I hope that in some small way, we can help you move forward, give you a boost along the way. Keep fighting for your own health, focus on that, and then hopefully you can have fun making videos while we get to come along for the ride. Take care, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! Let's all focus on making 2023 a better year all around.

Thanks for the videos you have put out... we watch them whether we think they'll be interesting or not and pretty much each time we find ourselves down a rabbit hole after learning more. Hope 2023 is better for you.

    So sorry to hear about your mother.. my father passed a few weeks ago and my mother is in hospital for Xmas, but she's on the mend. I love all your videos and have never wondered why there was a delay in videos being released. You take your time releasing them going forward. If it's one a month that's no problem at all. Quality over quantity is always best. Look after yourself and hope those medical trials eventually help out. Glad you had soup that day and swapped that useless bit of info with that other person 😂

    Hello there Mat! I don't write very often, but this time I think it is necessary; When it comes to content and production quality, I am a very demanding and critical viewer, and I have to say, as I have said before in older comments, I think your videos are among the best produced out there in CZcams Land, well researched, well-paced, extremely well shot, interesting, entertaining, excellent sound and image quality, engaging, well written... And on top of it all, you're a wonderful host. You're doing an excellent job in all departments, keep doing your wonderful work and be sure that your more educated, knowledgeable and loyal viewers will keep supporting you and be patiently waiting for the next Techmoan video. Cheers from Mexico, old chap.

Only his true fans, those that stuck with him for an hour of videos they have have seen already (when the came out) are those who are „worthy“ hearing about it. When you read this Mat: Do your thing, focus on health and happiness. When you do that, the true fans will be with you - as always. Wishing you a much better 2023!

    Hello! I'm from a poor district in São Paulo, Brazil. Outdated tech was the kind of tech I could get access to during most of my life. Watching your videos helped me getting through covid and a divorce during this year, since they brought to me this sense of good nostalgia, at the same time they surfaced the curiosity I've had and that I desperately needed to get over the technical limitations of outdated devices to listen to my favourite music and record videos. I'm really happy I met your channel and please, take all the time you need to make your videos!

I don't really know why anyone wouldn't like all of your videos. I really enjoy them and when they are posted later than usual, I just assume that you have a lot going on because you are human.

    As far as I'm aware of, about 5% of people are malicious by nature. Having a lot of exposure, you can come across a lot of their communication. That says something about them, not about you. To be frank: you video's are more than quality products. They are very friendly and most of the times humorous in an English way. That makes them not only informative, but entertaining too. Nobody deserves rude words and you in particilar don't deserve them at all. I'd say: keep up the good work! Groeten uit Nederland

I haven't really thought about how often you upload any new stuff but i keep an eye open (don't take it personal ; -)). We all have a life "offline" so i'm not bothered about delays if there are any.
