The Downfall of Donut Media

Ойын-сауық

Recent HiLow series caused some controvery with the Subaru community and has people wondering if Donut Media is no longer an automotive channel; but an entertainment channel. In today's short, we talk a little about it and why you may want to cut them more slack than you think. But is Donut straying away from who they are or have they always been an entertainment channel?

    there’s only so many cars that are well known and liked that you can give the backstory of. of course you can talk about the smaller companies/shops (ex: RWB, Hoonigan, Ken Block, etc) but that wont generate views since most average car enthusiasts will not know who they are.

    As a fan of donut media for many years now, I'd say they should bring back the up to speed and dive deep more about tuning shops in Japan like the RE Amemiya, JUN, Seeker, Top Fuel, FEED, Garage Mak, Car Shop Glow, J's Racing, Le Mans endurance racing, Wangan Midnight, Time Attack racing especially its origin which is located at Tsukuba Circuit and ofc, Best Motoring Official!!! I know that may sound a lot but atleast they should cover one of them hopefully at the very least tho!! Anyways, I still love their contents regardless but I wish they could be able to bring back that up to speed series someday!!!

    The fact that donut media isn't one of those big channels building a car in a few days is why I like them so much. Average Joe car enthusiasts like me who are absolute gear heads but don't have 50 people at our disposal we can hire to build cars is what makes that channel feel more on a personal level. Even if the stuff I build is totally different from what they've built, I can still relate to them. That said I love their car product reviews. If never buy them but it's cool to see somebody giving an actual opinion instead of watching a corny biased ad. There's actually a couple products they've reviewed that turned out to be really good surprisingly. And I've bought them too. Donut is an amazing channel, I've been watching them since I was maybe 13 or 14 years old, maybe 15. I'm 20 now. I can't really remember when I started watching them I've been watching so long.
