This amazes me. What is your time worth? I cannot imagine taking the time to search and torrent 4+ videos a month in order to save four bucks. Take into account the hassle of the bogus torrents and the waiting for videos to show up for free, and it's just ridiculous.
Not seen popcorntime.io then?

Nope. Don't believe in paying for anything on YouTube, plus as many people say most of the stuff they publish is US based, which I only watch every so often and generally get bored of after a few mins.

Harris should have his own channel, I expect he would get a shed load of subscribers and make a fair wedge off google ads, YouTube payments etc.

If I have to spend a couple of £ a month to support my favourite motoring channel then I will. It's not exactly much money, is it?

do people assume that CH is the bee's knee's?
From the general response his videos, blogs, whatever, you would generally think that is the case.
From what I have seen on here, thats not strictly true.

I'll be subscribing but not for a week or two. I can have a scan through a load of the videos in one hit then and see if the content is of enough interest to me to carry on paying.

Its a tough one. I used to love their content and £2.50pm is fk all.

But I've got pretty bored as the content doesnt really vary. Some CH videos remain unwatched as its just german saloon smokes tires again. Singer video was exceptional though. And not sure he should have his own channel. It would be a lot of work to get that amount of subs and being part the drive network means his videos show up in all of drives subs new videos whether they are interested or not.

Personally Mike Musto and Matt Farahs videos seem to have good content and variation.

They need to keep evolving or they wont retain their subs

I cancelled a couple of weeks ago, after the Vimeo announcement. Figured I'll buy each video when I fancy it. Haven't seen a new Chris Harris vid for a month (since the manual cars one) and not really interested in the Matt Farah ones, which just seem to be a guy with a GoPro pointing at him saying stuff. Hardly high production values, despite the nearly-always-interesting cars.

I haven't bought a video since I cancelled.

I suspect Chris Harris departure soon - Drive, after a strong start, is clearly not working out.

I am tempted to unsubscribe to the channel totally, the last 4 today are all repeats! Haven't seen a worthwhile tube for while let alone worth paying for them!
