I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is the best CZcams channel I’ve found in the last year. Thank you so much for showing us your vulnerabilities and being yourself unapologetically. We feel and see it. I’m rooting for you so heavily, please keep grinding and testing our short attention spans!
I’ve spent the evening catching up on your content, and man, what an awesome and rare feeling it is to find a new creator that you know you’ll always be excited to watch. I know you’re probably totally stoked with the recent explosion on your channel, and wanted to let you know that all of us are stoked to be here with you. Good luck Preston!
Wow!!!!! This comment got me cheesing dude. Thank you thank you thank you. I’m so psyched about all this. Thanks for taking the time to watch any of my dumb videos. Means more than you know
as someone who's chronically on youtube, you've been my favorite channel to watch this past year. forever inspired by your drive and storytelling. your leap of faith will be in my head if and when I do the same. congrats and thank you
I think your long form videos this past year have been fucking amazing and should have 2000x the views. Please don't stop I guarantee the algorithm will pick you up and the next year will be a banger.
Losing a big video in the edit process like that is heartbreaking, I would literally cry 😂mad respect for powering through and sticking with your dreams, here's to an even bigger 2nd year!!
Hey Preston! Just finished watching! I’m so glad that you’re doing what you do! Even though we’ve only worked together a bit, you’re one of my favourite people to work with! Your personality is magnetic and your ideas are genius! I’m sure your core audience would love any video you release even if it didn’t cost a fortune to produce. If you ever want to brainstorm cheaper ideas with broad appeal, hit me up! But regardless take care of yourself, sounds like it has been a ruthless few months.
This is so beautiful. Ironically I'm here because Ive been watching your videos for months, but went on a full binge today anndddd became completely disheartened because I got myself in a headspace that I'll never be able to make videos as good as you. The music, the editing, the videography (it's all so bright and clean), the storytelling, and the _audacity_ to pull off some of your stunts (ie, scooting away from the grey suit man at the airport)... it's just too good. There's a 99% chance I won't ever be able to pull off what you do. But I'm so happy I got to this video because it reminded me of why I'm making videos in the first place. Thank you for the emotional rollercoaster you never meant to put me on today. You're videos are a huge inspiration to me and I can't wait to see what you make in 2024!
Thank you for replying 🥲 @@prestongoes ☝this is version 6 of my comment. Previous iterations include: v.1 - STOOOOOPPPPPP 😧 v.2 - My life story and why you replying means a lot. v.3 - A detailed list as to why you're one of my favourite storytellers on CZcams. etc. Thanks for reminding me that big CZcamsrs are humans too and we owe it to ourselves to follow our dreams.
Really appreciate you sharing this! It really hit when you talked about the insanity! Been trying to grow our CZcams account a lot this year and it is really tough! Tough to be vulnerable too!
I found your channel 2 hours ago with the jet pack video and I have to say you are so inspiring and an absolute God-Send. Thank you for what you do and please don’t stop I’ll meet you at the top.
Thank you so much! Ive been struggling for a while looking for a way to get back to the level of fulfillment. I had when I was mowing lawns and living on min wage. Just found your vids and everyone sends me through a nostalgia zone of my past self. When losing my wallet to a flat tire didnt even phase my awesome days. So thank you for the reminder and great job!!
Just stumbled upon your channel, saw this video, and it really has me inspired and in love with your story! Keep at it and I'll for sure be watching more videos :)
that Paul Rudd video man... so good. You took me through the ups and downs so well and I felt all of it with you guys. You are such a great, creative story teller and I'm glad to have found you on here. you got my sub and I look forward to bingeing all your stuff then seeing your new ideas!
Great meeting you last week man! Love your vulnerability in this message. Keep leaning in! Really enjoy videos and excited to continue following your journey 🔥
BRO thank you for this! Im making no money and putting in over 30 hours a week in videos. I dont want to be a typical game hunting channel . IM literally working on 2 future series MONTHS ahead of time. Hearing you say money is tight just motivates me that there are others in the same boat.. I have always enjoyed my businesses. However, doing youtube I made my first 3.50 and its wild how motivated I am even with no money. I do feel there is a wall I'm currently fighting and not understanding how to break pass.. SO once again thank you for this!
Just finished bringing your content. I must say finding this video is inspiring. As a part time creator with so much other stuff going on, creating content is what I find the most creatively rewarding in a world so struck by boundaries and rules. Thanks for thinking outside of the box and showing it's not that scary!
It's rare to see a youtuber come out the gate fully formed. From the jump, your style is so distinct and refreshing, and you're just perfecting the formula. Ready for 1 mil
Super secondhand proud of you (is that a thing?). Your videos have a style of their own that's new to youtube, kind of like how Casey Neistat felt. The Mr. Brief music video is so unbelievably creative, the lighting and composition is amazing. It's literally the quality of those cool short indie films you see. But you also remind me of some of my really creative and cool buddies who I view as wildly talented and creative (shoutout Hunter and Brien, they'll never see this comment lol). You're clearly personable and genuine, but you also seem to know what matters. And you communicate yourself artfully and succinctly, especially in long form content. Plus you've got a great group of people propping you up. Keep going, remember what grounds you, we're all along for the ride. I would love to have a chat with you sometime, if you'd be down sometime and have a few spare minutes
I'm thankful for you. You're doing great, keep it up. You're incredibly talented and positive. That's my kind of person. Every day in every way, life gets better and better. Be love.
I’m new here, but I’ve watched almost every single video! You bring that original CZcamsr feeling back. The genuine excitement and you in general just being a funny dude. Already since I found you at the start of the month to now. You going up son! I believe in you bro! Please keep it coming!
Wow. What a great message, man. I needed that. Preston, I literally love watching your videos and honestly you’re definitely one of the best CZcamsrs I’ve come across in a long time. Your videos ideas are so funny and genius, and it makes me laugh every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for everything! Keep going bro, I know you will succeed!
thank you preston❤ as a Venezuelan musician in the US trying to get his career going, hearing you talk is healing for me🙏 I send you lots of good vibes man!
Hey Preston, just wanted to say THANK YOU. I started my journey on CZcams 6 months ago, and your channel has really inspired me to continue putting in the work. By far one of the best creators out there! Highly entertaining, and I’m also learning so much from your content. Would love to collab one day 👍
hey preston idk if you'll see this or not, but i just wanted to lyk that i love your videos so much. your personality is amazing and i just love the different approach you take on youtube. the last minute of this video was sincerely beautiful. i'm 17 and have a dream too. the words you said really blessed me
Been going for a year and I’ll put 60-70 hours into a video… to get 200 views. It really stinks but, I know what I’m capable of! Thanks for making me not feel like I was the only one struggling on CZcams rn. Congrats!!!
I remember my brother telling me about the thing about setting goals.I picked the hardest shit possible with the best results thinking if this theory works I would rather dream big and have it all rather than small goals and three years later and still😅 going 😂❤ can't stop now 😢
Commenting for my self, coming back to this video in a year, to be shocked that at this point in time you only have 322k subs, your Paul Rudd video has 11.402 views, and this video 3200 views. There's no doubt in my mind you will find huge success.
I've had similar experiences with youtube short, i have some pretty viral shorts, my best is 50 mil views, but long form content for me is still struggle trying to make vids in m spare time.
You could also make a video about reclaiming/finding your lost ocean camera, theres a dude with a channel that does this on YT. He finds & returns all sorts of things in the ocean... #COLLAB
0:26 I made a very simple formula to guesstimate how much a CZcamsr could be making with their videos. Take their subscriber amount, move the decimal point over once to the left. And that's how much thwy could be making per year. Example: 640,000 subscribers $64,000/annually If you're ever at a dinner party and mention this sans crediting your Favorite East Coast Subscriber, I will lower my head in shame and walk away in disappointment. Not anger Preston, in disappointment.
This makes me want to go find MrBeast or Ryan or something and just convince them to show up in a vid even if it’s for a second lol over a decade of uploading will make you want to fast track a little bit 😂

Part of that 633! Congratulations ! it was so clear to see back then you had this in you
I relate to this video so much! It's a beautiful life when you find something that makes your life so full! Keep going brotha!

Hey Preston, just wanted to say THANK YOU. I started my journey on CZcams 6 months ago, and your channel has really inspired me to continue putting in the work.
By far one of the best creators out there! Highly entertaining, and I’m also learning so much from your content.
Would love to collab one day 👍
DAY ONE, BAYBAY..... or maybe week one? idk lol. but i subscribed with the quickness as soon as I saw your posts about going full CZcamsr haha.
What a foreshadow this was. Love your stuff man. ❤️
Bangers only. Well done, king!
THIS IS A PRIVILEGE OF A LIFETIME💪
Holly shit, I watch a video for you for the first time 10 minutes ago and you my new favourite CZcamsr
hey preston idk if you'll see this or not, but i just wanted to lyk that i love your videos so much. your personality is amazing and i just love the different approach you take on youtube. the last minute of this video was sincerely beautiful. i'm 17 and have a dream too. the words you said really blessed me
Been going for a year and I’ll put 60-70 hours into a video… to get 200 views. It really stinks but, I know what I’m capable of! Thanks for making me not feel like I was the only one struggling on CZcams rn. Congrats!!!
You should come out with your own merch bro!!! Keep your head up, keep pushing, and you'll be one of the best!!!!
Kinda sad u don't get the amount of views u deserve keep up the great work 👍 😊
I remember my brother telling me about the thing about setting goals.I picked the hardest shit possible with the best results thinking if this theory works I would rather dream big and have it all rather than small goals and three years later and still😅 going 😂❤ can't stop now 😢
I love your videos so much of a really big fan
Such a great video, man
Commenting for my self, coming back to this video in a year, to be shocked that at this point in time you only have 322k subs, your Paul Rudd video has 11.402 views, and this video 3200 views. There's no doubt in my mind you will find huge success.
This channel is spot on my fav niche 😎
Love you Preston keep it up
congrats!🎉
CZcams algorithm wins again 😂 love your stuff and just you, I bet you're infectious in real life, people absorb the good vibes
Listening to this while reviewing corporate tax returns at 10:45pm really makes you question some choices…
Thank you very much for this 🎉🎉
I've had similar experiences with youtube short, i have some pretty viral shorts, my best is 50 mil views, but long form content for me is still struggle trying to make vids in m spare time.
This is awesome! 👏
You've gotta be the most entertaining creator out there
I love your videos bro
I never knew that Luca Modric is busy person.
You could also make a video about reclaiming/finding your lost ocean camera, theres a dude with a channel that does this on YT. He finds & returns all sorts of things in the ocean... #COLLAB
The question I’m wondering is am I gonna ever get the hermit crab you promised? You monster.
love it bru.
your songs are the best
I don't watch CZcams I just make videos but I'm happy for you , u are very kind , God bless your marriage
Motivation right here…
I BELIEVE IN YOU ALL DAY EVERY DAY
3:11 how funny it is I keeping going to same job fir 12+ yr expecting something different 😂😂😂
Great vid, I just mashed the +5s button for the second half of the video, way better, highly suggest!
such an inspiration for me rn. posted my very first video one week ago. got 40 views for like 30 hours of work lol - nevertheless it feels amazing.
Love
King
I can relate too
I’m your biggest fan
You are really cool
1:31 couple years ago I was just thinking the same thing but it didn’t matter now because it makes me happy and why’s going care in 5+ yr anyway 😂
I subscribed when he was under 1k
It was funny when I checked I saw over 100k 😂
Hell yea
Patreon?
Easter, March 31st, 2024
559k subs🎉 wow!
paul rudd tattoo when?
0:26 I made a very simple formula to guesstimate how much a CZcamsr could be making with their videos.
Take their subscriber amount, move the decimal point over once to the left. And that's how much thwy could be making per year.
Example: 640,000 subscribers
$64,000/annually
If you're ever at a dinner party and mention this sans crediting your Favorite East Coast Subscriber, I will lower my head in shame and walk away in disappointment. Not anger Preston, in disappointment.
This makes me want to go find MrBeast or Ryan or something and just convince them to show up in a vid even if it’s for a second lol over a decade of uploading will make you want to fast track a little bit 😂
Keep bashing out the beautiful work!
Set unrealistic goals. Check!
Ooo
