Congrats, Clint! And thanks for modeling consistency, curiosity and the investment of no small amount of sweat collateral on your way to attaining the 10M milestone. And humility - thanks for modeling that, too. Wishing you more steady, sustainable growth (and joy in it) to come! 🎉🎉🎉
Clint, that’s massive. Ten million views on a niche channel isn’t “luck”, it’s reps. Two years of showing up with a clear point of view and zero desperation to become Algorithm Flavour of the Week is exactly how the real ones win.
Also: “slow growth still counts” is the line people need tattooed somewhere visible. Your Male Gayze/vintage montage lane is specific, weird (compliment), and genuinely generous. You’re not just serving thirst, you’re giving context, craft, and that queer subtext that makes people feel in on something.
Here’s what I respect most: you’re celebrating the audience, not worshipping the number. Ten million is a marker. The community is the asset.
Oh, Mr. Cosme, you’ve truly made my day. You have a way with words I admire and aspire to. So glad my love for/of the audience comes through. Thank you for being a virtual friend here on the sometimes dangerous “streets” of the internet. Continued happiness and health to you, kind sir!
Thanks for the ridiculously kind note. I’ll take “way with words” and try not to let it go to my head :) And yes, your love for the audience absolutely comes through. It’s the difference between “content” and someone actually showing up with a pulse.
I’m happy to be your virtual friend on these occasionally unhinged internet streets. Wishing you the same: happiness, health, and a solid filter for nonsense. x
Thanks, Aidan. When you get a chance, check out the homepage…finally added that feature I mentioned to you awhile back: https://www.youtube.com/@collidepress
Cheers and continued success to you and yours, kind sir!
You’re most welcome. Just put it up in the last couple of days. Not sure how many will see it, but hope it helps you and your podcast grow. You’re doing good work…keep it up, my friend! Reach out if you need a cheerleader. Cheers!
Congrats on the milestone Clint! I just checked out the Youtube channel (was not aware before) and wow what a beautiful collection of photos and videos. It all feels so whimsical of a time lost past. Keep doing what you are doing man. Love seeing amazing folks thrive. You've got a fan here.
Thanks, Jandro! Yeah, I started the channel during a depressive period, to lift my spirits. And not only did it do that, it helped spread some nostalgic joy to others. Mostly. Haters gonna hate. Lovers gotta celebrate! :-p
Btw, I’ve got your last several posts bookmarked to read. Cuz they deserve more than a passing glance. And I have the attention span of a squirrel lately. You know us squirrel friends…always looking for nuts. Which makes us a little nutty!
Congratulations Clint and all who support Collide Press!! Great successes. We're are hungry for everything that supports who we are and what we as a community have been doing. Keep it up!!
