How Adam the Woo, German in Venice, and My Critics Built My Channel

Summary

When I started this channel, I had no idea how it would grow. My journey really began when I discovered Adam the Woo after he passed away. Getting invited to his celebration of life was surreal—it took me from 23 subscribers to around 400 almost overnight. I was suddenly connected to this whole community of travel vloggers and creators I didn’t even know existed. But honestly? That early growth also brought a lot of attention I wasn’t prepared for, including people who wanted to make fun of what I was doing.

The channel’s growth really came in three waves, and I’ve learned something important from each one: the Adam the Woo connection gave me my foundation, but it was actually the criticism that taught me the most. Channels like All the Freakin’ Things and Passing Through Productions picked apart my content, and yeah, it stung at first. But over time, I realized that the parody channels and the genuine creator community weren’t that different—we were all just part of the same ecosystem. Then came the German in Venice video, which brought in a whole new third of my audience. Looking back now, I’m grateful for all of it—even the critics—because they pushed me to figure out who I was as a creator and what I actually wanted to do.

• Roland from the Sheriff and Roland channel said something that changed how I viewed the noise and criticism surrounding my channel
