And if there are in fact any scenes here from the stream (again, I haven't started watching this video just yet, so idk if there are any), he didn't have to watch the whole thing, instead he could just look up the hour something happened in the handheld recording and then look it up on the stream.

Simply amazing. I wish I'd watched it live now !

This shows how far this comunity is willing to go to support their favorite content creator...and i respect the hell out of it

Kind of my response as well, just in a bit less positive light. Seems the least they cold have done is keep track of them so the person got the one in order they paid for instead of just a random one from the pile.

I have no idea why, but I watched this entire thing twice. You tube will serve up a gem every once in a while.

The entire video was an advertisement. The longest advertisement I've ever watched. Its also the only one that has kept me engaged the entire time.

Great video (as always), would love to see a thorough video or series on the business side of all this, as I would love to become a maker for a living as well.

I kinda wanna see a bottle being opened with the 500$ bottle opener. Would be so satisfying.

Before you ship, you should stamp each opener with the price that was paid for it. Make them all unique for the person that bought it.

This is an interesting economics experiment they have going on. Working in reverse on the pricing and demand than it is typically done.

This video was absolutely awesome! Been a fan for a while but haven't watched a video in some time glad this is what brought me back great idea man!

definitely the best squarespace advertisement in the history of KZread, great job man

Alecs accountant: "So here's the thing, you're now going to continue making bottle openers for the rest of your life."

I remember seeing this, Alec sounded like a manic towards the end;)

This is the best sponsor ad I've ever seen! You are brilliant Alec!

This was the best, absolutely best, product promotion i've seen on a YT channel. So much fun :)

I think you should do this but stamp each with the price it was bought at. Then you fans could meet and compare their one of a kind Alec Steele bottle openers.

This dude just came up with the best YT business idea, could probably be one of the best ways of making money as a big KZreadr. I'm just impressed, it's so dumb but yet so smart at the same time.

This, to me, only proves the quality of the craftsmanship and of the craftsman.

This was epic! Literally the most fun I've ever had watching a live stream! Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't bring up the dimple shirts! We all love ya Alec and Jamie!!

I think you really underestimated your fan base there Alec. Lol. I'm glad you had a good day though. It was fun to watch the live feed and see the whole thing condensed in this video. Well done. Just don't kill yourself for us.
