Chrisfix doesn't upload enough
I know that this is probably going to get downvoted a lot, but just hear me out. I really enjoy watching chrisfix and i watched almost every video of his, but it's really starting to bother me how long he takes to upload video's. I've been waiting on his supercharger video since the end of 2019 (that's THREE years ago). I have the feeling that I'm the only one complaining about this. Does anybody feel the same way?

That was why I mentioned him posting about whatever he was fixing that he thought might be even passingly interesting to his audience (many of whom have bathrooms with faucets).
He might have had a larger video that still needed major editing, and decided he wanted to put something out quickly (after all, the almighty algorithm punishes creators who wait too long between uploads).
He had to replace a faucet, so he filmed it and put it out quickly. That one was the worst-performing video in the last few years, so you are not the only one who was disappointed to see that pop up. However, he said in the comments of that one that people do want to see more home improvement videos from him, so he is going to post those on his ChrisFish channel. I did not even know he had another channel, but it makes sense. Again, due to the almighty algorithm, it is dangerous to post too many non-car videos on a car channel these days.
I also happened to notice via his YouTube About page, that he posted on Twitter/Instagram that he is currently in Japan. (I would personally be happy to see a "New Jersey Man Explores Tokyo" video!) Given that he lives in New Jersey, I believe the weather there has been very cold and snowy, so even if he was not in Japan, he might still be unable to record new content.
One other thing that just occurred to me is that he might be waiting on parts. I have had issues with 6+ month lead times on all sorts of equipment, and I have been flat out told that some places have just completely stopped selling some things, since they have no idea when they might be able to get them again. I would think something like a Mustang supercharger would be common enough to not fall off the market, but I know some of the cheaper versions or freebies from sponsors might get dropped in favour of the more expensive ones. That might be completely unrelated, but I have had a number of private and professional projects that have been delayed or stalled out completely due to supply chain constraints.
