5 Years Trucksim Channel Anniversary
Earlier this month, trucksim.top celebrated 6 years online.
But today is another important milestone for me personally —
5 years ago, on May 13, I decided to move away from my personal YouTube channel and fully focus on a dedicated TruckSim channel.
Looking back now, it was absolutely the right decision.
📊 5 years later
- 6.22K subscribers
- 2+ million views
- 50.6K watch hours
- 695 videos published
Honestly, seeing those numbers still feels unreal sometimes.
The channel started with simple gameplay videos, experiments, and updates around Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator.
🚛 What matters most
The biggest thing wasn’t the numbers.
It was building a community of people who enjoy the same weirdly specific things:
- hidden roads
- map combinations
- game mechanics
- optimization
- exploration
Some videos took days of preparation for just a few minutes of content.
Some completely failed.
Some unexpectedly exploded.
That’s just part of the journey.
🙌 Thank you
If you ever watched a video, left a comment or subscribed — thank you.
You helped turn a small experiment from 2021 into something real.
The road continues. 🚚
Trucksim.top Turns 6: From First Posts to Thousands of Miles
Today marks 6 years since I started trucksim.top.
What began as a simple idea — sharing tips, discoveries, and experiments in American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 — turned into something much bigger than I expected.
🚛 What happened over these 6 years
- Dozens of guides on profiles, map discovery, and game mechanics
- Experiments with save editing and optimization
- Coverage of new DLCs, updates, and features
- YouTube content alongside the blog
- A growing audience of people who actually care about the details
Some posts were simple. Some took hours (or days) of testing.
But the goal stayed the same: make useful, practical content for truck sim players.
🔧 What makes this blog different
There are a lot of ATS/ETS2 blogs and videos out there.
Most repeat the same info.
Here, I try to go deeper:
- Not just what works, but why it works
- Not just guides, but real experiments
- Not just news, but context
If you’ve ever used one of my profiles, strings, or guides — you know what I mean.
📈 What changed
A lot.
The games evolved.
The map got bigger.
Tools and mods became more advanced.
And honestly — the expectations are higher now.
People want faster, better, more detailed content.
🔮 What’s next
I’m not planning to stop.
In fact, I want to push further:
- More advanced guides (especially around map data & automation)
- Better tools and reusable templates
- More structured content instead of one-off posts
- Deeper integration between blog and YouTube
🙌 Thanks
If you’ve been reading, watching, or using anything from trucksim.top — thank you.
Even if you just stopped by once to grab a guide — that still counts.
