About this video
Chuck’s final video of 2020 is a thank-you and year-in-review. He focuses on silver linings from 2020 — working from home, earning certifications, studying more, and more family time — and asks viewers to share theirs and to complete a survey linked below about his content, with one respondent to receive a $100 Amazon gift card, PayPal, or Bitcoin prize. He reports the channel’s 2020 performance as 17.9 million views, 1.9 million hours of watch time, and 525,000 new subscribers, bringing the total to 747,000 subscribers on the way to a million, and says the growth allowed him to quit his job and do YouTube full time. He recaps the ‘Network 10 Days of Christmas’ giveaway, which expanded to 11 days: Day 1 Network Coffee and Raspberry Pis, Day 2 Boson Software, Day 3 Hack Five, Day 4 CompTIA, Day 5 ITProTV, Day 6 TryHackMe, Day 7 INE with a year of cybersecurity pass, Day 8 Codecademy, Day 9 Offensive Security, Day 10 Ubiquiti UniFi with his home network gear, and Day 11 Hack The Box. He thanks those vendors, plus Boson, ITProTV, and CompTIA for support throughout the year, and says he expects great things in 2021.
