Who's the new host? Feels like i am watching a totally different channel now. Miss old Sumsub with Bradley and Emily in elegant backdrops. I am guessing cost restraints is why everything changed but I am still sad. However still love the channel and looking forward to new videos.

I’m always going to click on a video expecting Bradley sat in a chair crosslegged gesticulating and explaining in his very British accent. For me it needs to go back. I think you should have started this as a different channel. Not to be unappreciative of the time work and effort of the team putting these videos out I think it’s just difficult when you change something that’s liked by a lot of people who’ve been subscribed since the beginning. It’s like trying to remake home alone lol

Honestly it's quite a good video. It is, however, not the type of content I subscribed for. Channels that do content like this are very common, it's an already filled market. What you guys did previously was original and I've never seen anything like it before or since. Your hosts were awesome and that's what I'm missing most: Personality. If you want to change your content, which in of itself is fine of course, can't you at least keep the hosts? Maybe you can switch between voice overs and the sort of sets you had before? Also, please bring back the iconic transitions in their full form. This is, of course, just my opinion and if you guys have different ones then I'm okay with that. As it is today however, you have unfortunately lost a subscriber. I'm sad to "have" to go. I'm gonna come back in a few weeks or months to see if anything changed. Bye

Is it just me, or were there more script mistakes/things in the script that didn't line up with what was on screen than in previous videos?

“…taken on a slightly angry turn.” Lol I was on board with this channel until I heard that comment. There’s nothing angry (in my interpretation of what was said) at all about this comment. When people ask me for help at work and don’t get back to me that’s exactly what I’d say. “If you’re not interested in help just lemme know so I’m not wasting my time.” Seems perfectly reasonable from a business standpoint, despite its illegitimacy.😊

This is a good video, I enjoyed it. Although this is not what I subscribed to watch initially. I would 100% subscribe to a channel which uploaded this video, I highly believe this kind of video would have been better had it been made on a brother channel. Take Vsauce an example, people would be upset if Michael no longer hosted that. However compared to Vsauce2/Vsauce3 people are not upset about Michael not being the host there, since people subscribed to see Vsauce Michael on the main channel that still remains. While the other sibling channels of it are pretty much just additional supplements of content which keep the viewers tied over until their next video. Regardless, I do believe this new style of content is great. It just feels like a big change which I strongly believe would go over really well with the fans had it been done either additional videos released on the main channel, or if this new style would have gotten it's own channel, or even if the change would have been done gradually rather than just a sudden shift. I don't know how the numbers looked on your end but just from the sudden growth I've seen from the channel I would have seen this situation as an if it's not broken then don't try to fix it. TLDR: Good video, change too sudden making the show feel like it went from a passion project to just another business cashgrab, Sumsub2 please, either way I'm staying subscribed because I enjoy this content.

This type of content is very abundant on KZread and not what I subscribed for. The personality is gone. I'll probably have to unsubscribe, and it is incredibly sad that your channel is going down this way.

I think realistically, it isn't neccesarily that it has to be Brad and Em as hosts specifically. It was the general feel of how they presented that made the difference. So although yes, I'll miss them, there are others that could do the same job. It's more that you totally chsnged format and are now just another random channel that has nothing different to offer. I don't even mind topics others have covered, it was the way it was presented that made you different. Without that, you're just another drop in the ocean. Even if the old presenters cannot be used for whatever reason, bring the old format back.

This is a really interesting video. I have been contacted by some scammers sometimes, I have no ideia how they got my cellphone, because I'm carefull with the personal informations I post online. Regarding this subject, I would like to clarify a doubt that I have: I have seen many advertising videos showing a very ill person and then they ask for money to help that person; sometimes I click on those videos to help them, but then they have only a few options to donate money and in one of them I have to put the informations of my bank card. Because of that I'm always unsure and end up not sending them money. Do you think it could be a scam or would it be safe to donate money?

I think you’re going to have to be a lot more explicit telling people why you’ve made these changes……if it’s a case of simply not bringing in enough money to justify the production costs then I think finding investment (even crowd funding????) until the channel grows (I’m sure it will…!) is better than switching your channel to this new style. Or maybe you need to find a minimum viable product which keeps the core of the channel without losing its personality…….you seem to have a lot of support for the old content so it would be a shame to see it fade!

I just found this channel and was grabbed by the engaging hosts, only to find out that’s the change to the channel. Seems like a huge downgrade. The voice sounded like the Pac-Man voice from the bloodhound gang album. Super cringy. I gave it a chance with an open mind but playing cat and mouse with scammers? I feel like the old channel would not have suggested such a fruitless pursuit. Don’t engage these people. I didn’t learn anything I didn’t already know from all that dreadful pitch shifted voice over. If this is the new direction, it’s a massive downgrade. If this is what tickles the algorithm but high quality content doesn’t… the algorithm, or the average content consumer, is fundamentally broken. The Wild West of content creation is dead. The Industrial Age of content factories is here.

❣

So I came here to see what happend and the channel is now missing faces and personality and does (at least in my opinion) what is the exact opposite what a good You Tube channel should be. I get that your production costs might have been too high for the number of subscribers and views you have. But you really shouldn't have gotten rid of your faces. You have a small niche that I assume isn't as easily filled with people that don't have a deeper interest in IT but personality wasn't the problem (in my opinion). People loved Bradley and Emily they were the reason people subscribed for. What you could've have done is a permanent set but keep your faces. This is in my eyes not an improvement or a turn in a better direction.

Meh.

I am done bye. Other channels do this stuff better and more entertainingly.

I'm going to be very honest here, you guys basically ruined the channel for most original viewers You just got rid of the style which the previous hosts provided which felt much more personal and unique yet still proffesional even in a corporate safe setting, I assume this change was made to make more money but I highly suspect you guys are gonna make much by basically being yet another copypaste corporate channel The previous videos had real legitimately intruiging content coupled by the elequent two lovely hosts' styles, that's what kept this channel unique, Good content which has actually good information which people don't already know, now your formula is something which obviously works but now you have MUCH higher competition because now you're very replaceable and to me it seems you cannot get too far with this other than with luck and maybe some steady and very slow gradual growth which could've been made much faster by just keeping it to how it was, im sure you guys would've reached a million subscribers in 3-4 years I hope that this gets read by someone actually working somewhat high up in the company than probably a social media manager, but that's pretty unrealistic so one could only hope; sorry if this was on the harsher end, I tried to be somewhat constructive throughout this comment

hi, I've been subscribed to this channel since for quite a while. I'll try to condence my thoughts into this one comment and give constructive criticism. I like the idea of this video. It might be a bit off-brand but hey, it's the new sumsub so I'll let it pass. I feel like you're digging too deep here, every detail, every instagram post or message is shown or talked about. You don't need to show us everything, I want you to feel like we trust you and you don't need to show us evedence of the whole conversation. Show us the most important stuff. Set the scene and show us the higlights of the conversations you had and why and how these people scam you. The whole video (at least for me) doesn't have any ups and downs, it's just a flat storyline. Telling your story like this isn't effective, find what's really important in every situation and give us the juicy stuff. Take Mr. Beast for example. You start the video and he tells us "this man is about to live in this circle for a 100 days. And to help him survive, here's a house". He did not show us how he built the house. Does it have a kitchen? Who knows, it doesn't matter. And right now I feel like you're telling us what materials you chose to build the house. It does not matter. For this type of content Pleasant Green is a great example and I truly enjoy watching his videos. Another point is that I think this video is wayyy too long. I work with youtube content myself and youtube wants you to create longer session times on your channel. Meaning that if people watch multiple videos on your channel in one go, youtube will promote your channel more. That's what I'm missing here. After watching tis video i don't want to go to your channel and watch another one, I'm done. Compare this to Pleasant Green's videos. When I fist found that channel, I binged like 15 videos just because it felt I couldn't get enough. Same was with the old sumsub, when I found the channel i binged multiple videos. I won't after this video. I'm not telling you that long videos are bad. They're good and youtube promotes them. But for me I just can't hold my attention for that long, especially when the story is kinda boring (even when I'm into this stuff! I enjoy wathing content about this!) basically again, it's just overanalyzed for me. I don't know if it's just me but the thumbnail isn't clickable enough for me. Of cource you'll know the CTR and I'm sure you worked hard on it but it just doesn't do it for me. Maybe take a look at disrupt or Beluga for thumbnail ideas and take a look at disrupt's channel as a whole because it seems like you want to produce similar content but they're getting massively more views so there's something to learn from them. Anyways I will stay subscribed. Best of luck to you guys, I hope you'll find something valuable in my comment. I'll definitely watch your future videos, now it's even more interesting how you're going to grow the channel.
