glad you are not quitting. I am not going to quit watching.
-
I never miss as I’m one of those, apparent oddballs, that ignores YouTube’s suggestions and goes immediately to my subscriptions.
-
Twelve years of integrity and simple yet informative reviews, straight and to the point. Thank you!
-
"I'm not fucking leaving" - Lon
-
Been watching for a while but never commented. Love the disclosures at the beginning of every video keeping things transparent. Will continue to watch
-
Yeah... you can't quit! You were part of the inspiration to why I started making videos in the first place (waaaay before our family/kids content). I remember watching a video that you did on a home camera system and thinking (in like 2008), "Wow! Now that is how you do a review!"
-
Congratulations on 12 years! As others have said please don’t go. I regularly watch and enjoy your content!
-
I like how the supporter credits are now integrated into the first part of the video. It shows continued commitment to improving the presentation even after 12 years in the biz.
-
Congrats on your 12 year anniversary, Lon!
-
I am happy you're still on here making videos, I enjoy watching your videos because you've always thought reasonably and tested and reviewed products that no one else does
-
Your channel is my absolute favorite on the entire platform. For the past 10 years I haven't bought any tech without checking to see if you have done a video on it first. Heck I also watch your videos on products I never plan on buying! haha Thanks for your transparency and straight-to-the-point style that keeps your work engaging no matter the topic. Cheers to 12 years!

I found out recently my dad knows who you are and has watched your content before. We talked about your channel, and the first thing he said is "I love how how he makes full disclosures about who pays for what and why at the beginning of every video, I wish more channels did that."
-
The Anti-Quitting video. Nice!
-
Channels like yours are so valued by people like us. Thanks for all you do!
-
Thanks for all of the great content, Lon! YouTube's strange algorithm is just that -- a strange algorithm. I've been a sub for a long time; yet, many of your videos don't actually show up in my feed. So, I have to scroll through my list of subscriptions. I really wish that would change.
-
Another topic suggestion: I would love a deep dive into your equipment, processes and how you produce your videos
-
Great to see you still going strong on YouTube, Lon!!
-
Whoa... The HD HomeRun Prime.... That really took me back immediately. That was exactly what got me into your channel. Thank you!
-
This might be the most honest and objective review channel out there.
-
I've been with you since the beginning under various usernames. I'm trying hard to cut back on my YT consumption but I don't have any desire to cut back on Lon TV. Straight up, one of the few channels that doesnt make me mad or depressed.
