Back when I started my YT channel (2012), it was a great way for me to interact with other pipe smokers and learn about new tobaccos and some tips and tricks as I was starting my venture into pipe smoking. Over time the YTPC became saturated with a lot of people that shouldn't be making videos. Not saying I was great at it, but I did try to educate and share thoughts on pipes, pipe tobaccos, cigars, etc. To be fair I made some really bad videos, but I think I made some good ones too. After a while I decided it was time to stop, as I felt I didn't have anything new to offer. I took a break from posting videos regularly, and then I stopped completely. I even stopped watching others in the YTPC. On the rare occasion that I do watch a pipe channel, it's one of only five channels: NWPipeSmoker, Breman Pipe Smoker, London Calling with Simon, StuffandThings, and Beans316. Though I rarely watch them. I mainly watch YT these days for old Heavy Metal concerts or interviews and old WWF and/or Portland Wrestling shows.
