I've been thinking about replacing my regular front door lock with a keyless one because I'm tired of digging through my pockets every time I get home. The convenience sounds great, but I'm more interested in reliability than having a hundred smart features.

I'd mainly like a keypad that works every time, good battery life, and something that's easy to install without having to modify the door. Remote access would be nice, but it's not a dealbreaker if the lock itself is solid.

I've read plenty of reviews, but it seems like every model has people who absolutely love it and others who swear it'll stop working at the worst possible moment.

For those who've been using a keyless door lock for a year or more, which one did you end up buying? Would you choose the same one again, or is there another option you'd recommend instead?

I know the usual advice is “don’t do it,” and I get why. Subscribers alone don’t make good videos, and if they don’t watch anything, it can make the channel look worse.

But I’m curious about the social proof side of it. Starting from zero is rough because people click on a channel, see barely any subs, and instantly assume it isn’t worth taking seriously.

I’m not talking about buying thousands overnight or pretending to be famous. More like a small early boost so the channel doesn’t look completely empty while the real work is still going into the videos.

Has anyone tried buying YouTube subscribers in a careful way? Did it help with first impressions at all, or did it just hurt the channel long term?

I’m looking for a decent action camera but I don’t really want to spend GoPro money if I don’t have to. I mostly want it for travel, hiking, biking, and random outdoor videos, so it doesn’t need to be super professional, but I also don’t want shaky footage that looks terrible.

Main things I care about are good stabilization, decent battery life, easy mounting, and video quality that still looks okay in normal daylight. Waterproofing would be nice too, but I don’t need anything extreme.

For anyone who bought a cheaper action camera, which one did you get and was it actually worth it?
