Seth Demoor is BACK baby

Hence, why very few people would buy a coaching plan from him. He's already losing the most knowledgeable followers that might be somewhat performance driven. The rest of his "community" are para-social relationship addicts, low level hobby joggers, and the faithful that find him inspiring but will never attempt a real athletic feat. Why buy coaching when you just do holiday themed 5Ks for fun?

*person just getting in to running, aiming for 30 min 5k*

*Seth snail mails them a huge sheet of cardboard with training plan drawn in marker. Postage at their expense*

*training plans shows mileage peaking at 140mpw 3 weeks out from 5k parkrun. No taper*

*suggested pace for all runs is ~8min/k BUT must also maintain 180spm*

*suggested to drive at least two hours to wherever you will train even if you can do these miles straight out of your door*

*naturally plan has no speed work*

*dietary suggestions include no carbs, almond, at least 14 eggs per day and 6 coffees*

Dont forget about staying 5 hours above 14000ft deleting youtube comments and doing air squats

With descriptions like "steasy" for the effort level

The 30 minute 5k group is the perfect target for his running plans. Think about it, he could say “I’ll make you a custom running plan that comes with 2 running shoes that compliment your BMI, stride, and foot strike” and sell clearance shoes and a PDF.

Need immediate speed boost (no training required) - use affiliate link to KT Tape

(note: KT Tape unfortunately does not prevent aggravating existing sitting related injuries)

KT Tape, apply directly to the forehead!

Seth should hire Stephen Gnoza as a coach. He's a serious runner.

Seth needs a coach that understands both trail running and road marathons. Someone who has excelled at both disciplines. A mentor that knows how to get the most from altitude training and one that also knows how to balance the rigors of training, racing, and social media.

SJD needs to hire…Sage Canaday!

That nutritional advice is ridiculous. nuts actually have a lot of carbs, Seth said so.

Is Seth still making videos?
I thought he started a Sabbatical.

Seth said he had a doctors appointment yesterday, Wednesday, but today he posted another shoe review. I was expecting a vlog with an injury update, but he must have been told something he doesn’t like and is instead seeking a second opinion that agrees with him before making a video about it

+1 at the end of yesterday's shoe review he made reference to trying lots of doctors and massage therapists for opinions (which I thought was weird seeing about how much he hyped up the masseuse he saw the other day)

As a former every day vlog watcher turned to truly despise the man...I also find the financial aspect the most interesting.

The mortgage, taxes, health insurance, groceries, utilities, and just the costs in general that are associated with having 5 kids are all enough to make me scratch my head here. However, in fairness to Seth....one of the things that made him likeable and relatable 2-3 years ago is that you saw a family that was frugal and clearly on top of their finances. Its documented that both of their vehicles were paid for with cash and they saved for the SUV for a while to be able to make that purchase. Fast forward to today, he refuses to pay for anything running related. Its either sent or given, or it's not making the channel. He frequently asks for AirBnB's or places to stay and is given them by his followers. As far as overall travel costs, you can tell that he has cut back quite a bit on those from a few years ago.

To me, the "newer" lifestyle and mentality shifted right around the same time memberships started. Combine that with the fact that he no longer reinvests money made from the channel back into actually producing decent content and you can start to see how he pays for the mortgage and other basic expenses.

His three monthly membership levels are $1.99, $5.99, and $19.99. Can we agree that it's realistic he has 2,000, 500, and 100 members in each of those tiers? That alone is $108k before taxes and any YouTube cut. Although, it's also before any additional ad rev and promotional revenue. I say all that to say that it seems reasonable that he's floating this lifestyle on his current earnings. However, it's quite dicey to bank on that revenue staying consistent long-term. We are about to hit rough financial times across the board and the first thing I'd cut in any financial stress would be sending this man $6 a month.

I think those membership levels way overshoot it. That’s 2600 total memberships which is a large percentage of the views he gets on an average video. At this point, most of those views come from either the diehards that watch everyday or the trolls from Letsrun. Even from the religious SJD watchers, not that many will support monetarily. There’s also going to be very few non-daily watchers that support monetarily that we can disregard those numbers that add to the total. I’d honestly be surprised if there were over 250 total memberships.

I think those numbers are optimistic, I dont think many people actually sign up for those things. I consume the majority of my 'content' on YouTube/podcasts and I've never been temped to become a member or sign up to a Patreon - Although I have signed up to the LetsRun SC for the world champs but I'll be cancelling that immediately after.

I've recently asked colleagues and friends if they've ever paid for their favourite podcast/YT channel Patreon and everyone said no, except for one awkward response regarding OnlyFans. I know DGR stans are a different breed but I'd be very surprised if he has more than a couple hundred members.

Not sure why you guys get your rocks off criticizing Seth. Especially the personal attacks? Really?

Hi True Love!

What’s your take on the Endorphin Speed 3?
Butter my knob!

I don't think that the paid subscriber base is many at all. He has abandoned PPV livestreams because they probably didn't net anything. I think that he got a financial windfall in late 2020/early 2021, blew the money on the new house, upgrading AV gear, and trips. He thought the DGR stans would pay to watch and interact with him and it didn't happen. Now he is a huckster for whatever product is placed in front of him (KT Tape, Nordic Track) for which he does the bare minimum to fulfill his contractual obligation. I just don't see where the revenue is coming from. Views are way down and that means his YT and AdSense dollars are also down. He cannot be making much from affiliate deals like Runner's Warehouse.

He's frightened for sure. He appears to know full well how hurt he is and is just doing a dance to keep the DGR fam entertained. If he suddenly announces that he has a bad injury, needs to take significant time off, and cannot defend his Pike's Peak title, then his daily views fall off substantially and his channel is toast.
