Meanwhile the rest of us subscribed to you because you made fun of those other channels.

The people who matter love you; the people with taste and a sense of humor.

Just move to the UK, man. We get it - we're the kings of self-deprecation here. People slate my YT channel all the time, all day long, comment after comment, and I just laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and CRY UNTIL I CAN CRY NO MORE

I stopped watching camera review channels 2+ years ago. But I still watch yours every once in a while.

The Toneh joke still makes me laugh uncontrollably to this day 😂😂😂

"I want to see the lake Tony, let me see the lake!" As someone who hates this obsession with the overly blurry backgrounds in photos and videos, that line was absolute gold to me...

Omar Gonzalez sang "All I want is the perfect camera" in one of his videos.

I totally understand the 'being a comedian' ethos, I remember my wife being angry one time, "Is everything a joke to you?" "I don't know…" I replied, "...sit down, and we'll talk about it." And as she did, I knew it would be hilarious if I pulled her chair away.

I still go back and watch the original Toneh video from time to time. I still remember the Lake part 😂😂😂

Actually offended I haven’t been roasted yet.

Toneh is a fabulous word and you deserve the credit. If other camera channels dislike you, it could be that your two channels bleed into each other. There may have been non-camera content that upset people a couple of years ago.

You're the comedy relief this society actually needs... keep on doin' what you doin' ;)

Your humor is your best feature. Don't even think about apologizing!

Every time you say “toneh” it puts a smile on my face 😄

You have genuinely made me laugh so much and made many of my dark days better. Thank you for doing what you do.

I've been subbed to your channel for a few years now, I just love the humour and the relatabiliy that's why I'm still here. Don't ever change your style as this makes you unique amongst a sea of camera channels.

Never stop being you Kasey. I love your channel. It's a great way to bring the joy back to photography after the Northrups and Polins depress the hell out of me.

"Jokes over friendship" "Embrace being a moron" and of course "toneh" are three quintessential contributions to modern photography!! Irony, sarcasm and dark humor above everything and everyone any day. Keep it comiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!

One of the few RU-vid channels that actually makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD! My god, I am so grateful for your acerbic wit, your brutal jabs at the camera industry, and your unvarnished moments of self-loathing. ❤️🌺❤️

Jared Paulin impersonation with the wig and everything.. was the best.

Keep bringing what you bring to RU-vid!! It’s needed!!

If they can't take a joke, they don't deserve to be your friend!

Happy Valentines!!!! You are loved regardless of what anyone thinks!! Keep on rolling and being you :)

Dude you have the exact same humor as my late brother and I’ve really come to appreciate your comedic genius, like he had. Keep doing you, bro. Excellent job. Toneh!!!

The best part is Philip bloom wears your merch and i was amazed to see that.

You actually got me watching a couple of the channels you mentioned.

The self-seriousness of photography on YT and in general is a blight and that's why this channel is a refuge even though I bet most of us aren't even videographers.

All of these channels have their place in my heart, as their content helped me along my path early on. Your channel is amazing because of the fact you don't take things too seriously and aren't afraid to point out some very funny things. We all have these things and it's important to be able to laugh about them. Your analogy to the hairpiece illustrates that perfectly. Thanks for the content man, all I want is the perfect camera too.

You are my go to for information. Not because your are particularly good at providing details, but because I am laughing by the end of the video. Laughter = details. Toneh is the single greatest creation in the history of RU-vid! TONEH FOREVER! - Frank

Toneh video is the one that made me subscribe to your channel, and i do not regret it, i appriciated the story about the e-scooter that was almost stolen from you and learnt how to make my sony fdr3000 images look better... simple channel, with simple content, some jokes from time to times, that's what we love, not channel with exclusively disgised adds, with only sponsored content like we see too often around the camera industry. Continue to be who you are, that what makes you part of the 1% of youtube that have personality

This channel is a gem: A genuine, uncut, piece of cheap quartz, in a ditch, with just one squashed googly-eye stuck on it. I subscribed, but forget about me turning on notifications! ..... Really enjoyed this video, like finally being able to enjoy a bowl of porridge after having serious cankers for two weeks and finally eating food without pain, enjoyment. Used to live in that area of Toronto, cool to get a walk around the neighborhood. Thanks!!!

People, in general, take themselves way too seriously these days. Your humor is hilarious. Keep it up. It's too bad you have to explain yourself, really. Love your work. Camera Conspiracies forever.

They are full of themselves and don’t have a sense of humor. I always thought it was strange they get upset as you’re OBVIOUSLY joking. The other channels really need to stop taking themselves so seriously. Btw if you want to name some camera thing after me I’d be honored. Tony realizes by now Toneh is awesome but he can’t admit.

It is great to be hated in your own genre. It really completes one's happiness, trust me.

I don't even own a camera and watch your videos for the humor. The tech stuff goes over my head as an iPhone shooter, but you're funny as hell. I think you'd be a great comedian. Good job!

I always watch your gear review first, as your reviews are the most practical, realistic usage like in good and worst scenarios and most importantly in a funny way which I love more than any other review.

Your humor is the single reason I subscribed many years ago! Don't ever change!

Nice video. I enjoy your sarcastic perspective on the photo industry and find it fun. I think you're spot on about needing to take ourselves a lot less seriously.

Great vibe CC. Stumbled upon you recently. Smart channel. Keep doing you…👊👊📸👍👍

Never change, man. Being a camera monkey from England I think your humour is absolutely awesome and exactly what I'd expect from people here. Folks who take themselves too seriously end up being boring. Your camera reviews and conversations are exactly how they should be, show it in use and say what needs to be said and add some banter in there for good measure and you have nothing to apologise for🖖

"it's lonely at the top" - William Twerkspeare

You’re the funniest RU-vidr mate, it’s great that you be yourself. The fact that you have fun during your videos is probably one of the reasons you’ve been on here 10 years and many you tubers are quitting due to stress. I don’t understand all the camera stuff but your videos are funny 👏😃

Keep on Doing You Bro! You have a great unique channel, and yours stands out from all the rest. I think you figured how to use your humor to capture the attention of everyone watching, and it feels totally natural to watch the why you present content. I have much respect for your channel. Thanks!

I love the way you add comedy to your camera channel. I wish other channels would not take themselves so seriously all the time. More funny skits would enrich the whole community

Toneh is how I've referred to background blur ever since you introduced it

Who wouldn’t love this channel, seriously lol Used to watch Vegetable Police when you made the trek overseas for your health and caught the first video to ever drop on this channel within hours of it coming out and been watching ever since. Keep doing you buddy. Joy is what makes the word go round. If folks get offended, that’s more about them.

Dude you bring so much to your content which is why we love you. If they cant take a harmless joke its there loss. Hate you cuz they aint you.

I love your channel. You’re the reason I found Gerald Undone, Tony N and some other channels during the pandemic. Love the Toneh references especially.

I think the majority of us get your humour and that's why we're here. I really love your lighthearted videos because they're wonderfully entertaining! Hell, if I still lived in the city, I'd have loved to go out and film/photograph stuff with ya xD

I keep up with many of those channels but yours is the camera channel I watch most regularly. The other channels pump us up on how great we imagine ourselves. Yours brings us all back to reality and to remember what counts the most!

That Tony Northrop video is one of your best. Cmon Tony!!! It was so funny.

This is the best camera channel as it the only one I watch every video as it happens. The other's I just watch now and again for the odd review etc....The force is strongest here x

Everyone's asking Who's Kasey? Nobody's asking How's Kasey? 😢

Love my Toneh t shirt and your humour 📷🙏

I love your videos just because they’re hilarious, since a found you, years ago, it’s great to have fun about everything, you make people laugh! Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!! ‘Toneh’ regards from Spain!!

I stopped being a camera channel but I've always admired your content and humor, no hate. In fact you are my favorite camera channel because you always have so much fun on here. Keep up the good work, J Swizzle too!

Do your own thing KING! You’re the number 1 photography channel in Northern Uganda of the world. Keep going ✊🏽

thanku for your channel! After rough days I've leaned on it cuz i know there's something unique that will be funny in ur vids and 2)there will probably be a technical review of something in a unique way! thanku for making these and keep the humor coming!

I came to watch this one specifically...cuz things going sideways seems to be the theme of my life lately, and I just needed to see I'm not the only one stuff like this happens to. also I miss snow...never thought I'd say that.

Toneh is my favorite meme. Your humor is hilarious keep it up!

Your Tony takedown was pure hilarity. I showed my sis and she lol'ed. "He took us to the lake and he showed us not the lake. For the lake might have been formed of sulphur. The mortals would not of that know, for Toneh banished the knowledge of its creation. We were not worthy, nor ready for, the knowledge."

I like your channel and camera reviews. You come across with humour and also as a down to earth person as well unbiased, honest and highly knowledgable opinions about camera gear.

I’m here FOR your humor. It’s why I subscribed, lol. Keep up the great work!

I know why they hate you.. (they don't.. but eh, maybe they do..lol) If so, its because: 1. You produce 10x as much content as they do.,You do like 20 uploads for every 1 upload they do. 2. You're brutally honest, in a fun and down to Earth kind of way.. 3. You're not a company gear shill, that gets everything, and gets it for free, and acts like its the best thing ever made so that you can get more free stuff.. 4. and maybe because you poke fun at them... The funny thing is.., I do the same thing you do.. but with the vaping industry.. I'm in the same boat.. (except I buy literally all of my gear) .. but I'm painfully honest, even if it hurts the egos of these other bigger channels out there.. and people respect that I'm 'real' about everything.. I wouldn't apologize.. or change a thing about your approach to videos.., its your style and people like it..!

Your videos are hilarious. Don't worry if the other Camera channels like you or not. Probably better if they don't... means you're doing something right! Keep up the good work.

I also really love your channel and learn so much from you and you motivated me during the Christmas holidays to try my hand at a RU-vid channel and from now on I also want to make videos on a regular basis and when I feel a little more confident, also in English, at the moment I'm still use my native language. Thanks man.

We love you, awesome channel so don't change, your humor is contagious 👌

That "Toneh" lake video was pretty fing hilarious looking. I have never seen it until now, but I can see where it's near impossible not to say something.

I watch your channel for the snarkiness and the self-deprecation. I rarely shoot video and honestly your channel is just entertaining man. Keep throwing people under the bus. 👍

It is your humour that draws me back. For example "Do you have a form I can fill-in to fire myself" That's a classic - hilarious. Some people are far too important and serious. Maybe there's a form...

Love it. ❤ sending kudos from Montreal! Keep up the awesome content. And keep keeping it real!

They hate you because you speak the truth and dont BS any of us. They on the other hand sell they're souls for that Sponsorship cash and free products Galore. You keep being you and i will remain being subscribed to you but in my opinion you are the best! 😎👊

I need to buy a new Toneh shirt. My one has faded so much that you can barely see it, much like the lake in Northrup’s infamous video. 🙃😇

Never change. You are very much needed to bring a sense of humour to this industry. Some of the ‘lifestyle’ video guys are rubbish while also being the luckiest humans in history.

I made your 147k flip to 148k subs lol. Love the humor. Can’t believe all these years I never knew of your channel.

I'm a huge fan lol

Toneh is one of the funniest things I've ever heard on RU-vid! Never stop being you. I am a huge fan of stupid humor. Your humor reminds me of Letterkenny, which is one of my favorite shows!

That was absolutely pleasant and funny to watch. Your honesty is the key to winning others over.

World is too serious... too professional... too corporate nowadays. I like your style.

I remember watching a matti video to get a review about a lense, or camera, and i literally only learned about what he likes to eat and also his 1 wheel skate board, he talked about the camera for 2 mins and then i learned about todays sponser which was something to do with a square in space??

Don’t change you are a funny bastard.

Never change, your channel has always been a huge inspiration for starting RU-vid and not just doing a copy and paste desk chat with a dynamic mic like everyone does these days 😅

You're like the funiest guy on the internet, love it. Keep making this authentic AAA content

100% agree. As for Matti Hapoja, I caught him talking nonesense a couple times and don't take him serious anymore. Besides that he most of times doesn't come up with own discoveries or knowledge but copies the content/information of other channels. It's so funny. Throughout the years some channel poped up some fancy tech word and BAMM it's all over RU-vid and every channel pretended to be the wise guy. So boring. If I really wanna learn something about film making and gear here's where I keep my eyes on: Gaffer & Gear - RU-vid channel about lights by Australian based industry professional Cook Optics - RU-vid channel by world renowned lens company Cooke with dozens of interviews by high end industry professionals who talk about their day to day work Set Lightning Technician's Handbook by Harry C. Box - book on gaffer and grip work that became union standard, no other book comes close to that Digital Color Correction by Steve Hullfish - great book about what the title says, there's some more good books about that theme I just choose this one American Cinematographer Manuel by the ASC - funny story about that down below The Cine Lens Manuel by Jay Holben, Christopher Probst - gigantic book about cine lenses and what not, to much to learn in a lifetime ;) Why I still watch your channel? See video above! Fun story: On some RU-vid channel that was actually doing nice stuff I critzised a video for using the highly incorrect and technically wrong term "crop camera/factor" that is still used by people who refuse to understand how their gear works. The guy from the channel was totally pissed about that - I was nice for once though - and claimed the ASC was using that term too. So I grabed my copy of the ASC Handbook and looked it up. Well, turned out THEY DON'T. "Crop factor/camera" doesn't even show up in the index in the handbook. The ASC does mention a "transition factor" though in case you have to reshot some stuff with different gear and it also mentions that some cameras crop in on their sensor when using certain settings. I replyed to the channel poiting out that the ASC does not mention any "crop-whatever-bullcrap" but on page this and that they point out the above. Never read back from that guy. When it comes to cameras and film making RU-vid is full of bullshit.

The reason I tune in every day! 5:28 Don't ever change.

Absolutely LOVE the humour in your channel! I love it soooo much

You definitely have the top camera channel of all time because of the humor you described here. We come here not only to learn through your eyes but to laugh with a guy who definitely would be a great friend to have 😊

I love your channel b/c of the subtle humor and that everything is not a spec, stat, fact. I love your sarcasm and sardonicism. I love that you are honest in your assessment and blunt about it. I love that you call out Camera and gear manufacturers when warranted. I know you know that you are not part of “the club” and that you don’t need to be. I know that you won’t change because you are true to yourself and congruent on both sides of the camera rolling and off so you won’t change or quit. Thank you for your breath of fresh air videos.

Tony once said that 1080p was good enough for RU-vid. While that might be right and it can be a good topic to argue about, all their videos after that one have been in 4K lol

I'm 110% on your page. Your thumbnails alone are so ludicrous and obvious that anyone entering your entertainment space should know all this already and take a deep breath. You always make me laugh, and not a mocking laugh either, but one of genuine enjoyment at your amazing off the cuff humor. Thanks buddy. I'm a dedicated long time watcher.

Toneh is the funniest shit ever. I love you, dude. Don't ever change.

Your humor is far more British than American. Keep it up geeza.

Thanks Kasey, I learnt a lot about the DJI today in this informative and toneh enriched documentary.

I still enjoy other photography channels but not nearly as much as I did a few years back. I still thoroughly enjoy watching you as I don't feel like you're trying to sell me shit I don't need. Plus you're funny. Keep making fun of those other guys. Some of them take themselves a bit too seriously anyways. BTW, I remember watching that ridiculous video tony made by the lake in 2020, very shortly before subscribing to ya and thought it was hilarious. I'm not sure why the term "Toneh" would bother him so much. I'd personally love to have an infamously funny new term thrown out there on the internet for something silly I shared with the world. I guess he doesn't see it that way though.

Toneh 2.8

talking about toneh, the more I shoot, the more I understand that even on a crop sensor - toneh 2.8 is the best toneh, for the most part.

Camera Conspiracies is the coolest channel I have discovered so far. I've never seen someone combine comedy with camera reviews. This is unique and new.

Thanks for the comedy. I love your channel as it's light. I also follow most of the others you mentioned and love their channels too, for exactly what you said. If I need to find out about a product, need help with settings or tech I go to them. If I need a laugh about my life and myself I go to you. I love the destress in this stressful world.
