Wonder how big his backstock of pre-recorded shoe reviews is. Can't run, can't test new shoes. If he can't advertise shoes, then companies will stop sending him stuff. I bet he gives in and re-injures himself out of desperation.
Relax, he can test out several different colours of KT tape.
I’m surprised he’s not doing any World Championship analysis in his vlogs. Seems like easy and timely content.
Has he ever given any indication that he’s actually a fan of the sport of running? I think he did livestream when Kipchoge went sub 2 but I can’t recall much else. He’s certainly never demonstrated any substantial knowledge on runners other than Kipchoge and Bekele to a lesser extent.
Well, the injury is unfortunate but it really is an opportunity for him to take a hard look at what he's doing and refocus his channel. His current set up is totally unsustainable. He creates way more work for himself than is necessary with the daily uploads, which leads to repetitive, junk content. He goes for the easy fluff when pressed, like constantly talking about himself, filming endless coffee drinking shots, or overexposing elements of his family life. If he were smart, he'd use this time to expand his engagement with his audience, diversify his content, and make videos they'd like to see, not videos that are easy for him to make.
I mean, he has a running channel based in Colorado - there's a ton of stuff he could do locally that could grow his channel even when he's injured. He could interview other top runners or running groups, do an in-depth discussion of running trails he's run, visit with college/high school teams, or talk with people in the running shoe industry. Heck, why doesn't he just interview the people at his local running store to hear what they think about the latest shoes. (On this last point - I find it amazing that a channel that is so focused on running shoes has only once (that I know of) had an discussion with someone from a shoe company or from running retail about design and upcoming releases. It's like he's resistant to doing anything more in-depth on the topic that is effectively the "bread and butter" of his channel.)
All that said I'm skeptical he will do any of it. He seems totally uninterested in the quality of his daily uploads and has even told other You Tubers that the key is not in putting out quality content, but to constantly put stuff out. As in, every day, same old junk is better than anything that would require some effort or creativity. Here's a tip - you may think that, but your stalled subscriber numbers are telling you otherwise.

yeah, don't underestimate Seth's ability to knock out 'DO THIS TO MAKE YOUR ULTRA BETTER: PRESS-UPS' -type videos
I find it hillarious that both of them very obviously encountered the word orthopedist for the first time and had to look it up, proudly learning another name: musculoskeletal system. You also see it with his proximal hamstring tendinopathy, so proud after first taking a second to collecting himself then saying it.
They are 100% the type of people who now and then sit down and attempt to read a dictionary from front to cover "because its fun to learn new words" and because they think it makes them smart.
I also think that seeing an orthopedist (an expert on the musculoskeletal system!) along with his PT, the masseuse etc makes him feel legit and quite pro for the viewers. I would gave thought that seeing a coach would be equally cool but I obviously have no idea.
To the benefit of SJD I think this makes everything easier for him as I am sure he will have lots of content of him delivering the MR news to TL, maybe even show them to her, all along with all his checkups going forward. The acting in the last video was 1/10 so I guess they will get lots of practice going forward.
A channel focussed on running shoes, but back when he managed to jag an interview with Kilian (when Salomon dropped the first Phantasm and Kilian was about to go for the 24hr WR), one of the first things Seth says is that he hasn’t actually got around to trying the shoes. Just unbelievable.
My guy is still wearin the hospital band like a trophy in today’s video. His wife just delivered a kid but obviously Seth is the true survivor here.
The best was when he was wearing two hospital bands for about a week. He insisted to wear the band from his urgent care visit to show that he was injured and wanted everyone to know. He looked like a buffoon wearing a hospital bracelet on each arm
After 10-14 days Seth will be relatively pain free, if he has followed recovery guidelines. HE will think he is cured and try to go for a run, only to limp back after a 1/2 mile. Hopefully he does not try this each week and allows for full healing . If I were him, I would not run until Halloween.
I DO think it would be funny if he received a lot of troll shoe reviews that seemed legit until the end. Then he'd have to wade through even more inane content. You know he's not watching with full attention

This is a great idea! LRC we must band together
"I wore these while making eggs this morning. The carbon fiber plate really helped me keep my form while cooking."
"I just got the new Nike AlphaFly Next% 2! My wife and I are trying to have a larger family so I thought that I would wear them during our love making. I didn't feel much difference but Truly Beloved said that I finished much faster than usual. I am a little confused because she didn't seem happy when she said that. I guess she just doesn't understand performance? Anyway, I will try to do a steasy tempo threshold vert run in them this week and let you know how it goes. I suspect that they will last 472.62 miles soooo...a 5.3/14 for durability. Alright, let's goooo downtempo and sideways!!!"
"How can I grow my channel with more community involvement while not having to do any work? Easy. Get my fans to send content, then I will profit off their work and send them $0 and no gift or any other kind of reimbursement for their troubles. #christianlifestyle."
SJD has to be careful that one of his stans doesn’t attract a following. It’s game over if he runs a review from someone with looks and charisma. Expect reviews from old fat guys with monotone voices.

Is it just me/my culture (I'm foreign) byt isn't that incredibly, incredibly childish? Its not like he was in the hospital for months upon months and barely made it out. The bracelet has no other function than to help the hospital staff ID you, why wear it ouside other than having the childish need to score sympathy. Which I kind of get if you have been in the hospital for months and barely made it out, and this is your first week out. But again, this is not the case here, lol.
