The solution should have been to close off the sidewalk leading to Sawgrass. Carts will still be parked along the MMP as close as they can get to that sidewalk entrance. We'll see.

He provides a great service requiring his time and equipment. It is his business. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Most people appreciate the guy and the product which costs us (you) nothing.

Do you think the people at Culvers appreciate the product?

Don does a really GOOD job with the ads. They are not too intrusive, many just appear on the bottom
I don’t need any of the items his advertiser sell, but if I were looking for say an irrigation person or a pool person, I would trust his advertisers over a google search.
He’s as close to a neighbor recommendation as there is.

Sponsors I would suggest (if they advertise with Don, they would be busier than anyone)
Painter
Kitchen remodel
Mobile Golf car repair/oil change
Lawn maintenance
Landscaper

I doubt Culver's watches a YouTube from The Villages. And yes you said his work is good, but you qualified that by complaining about him having advertisers that pay your freight so it won't cost you anything. I'll bet that you didn't work without compensation.

Out of curiosity, in which video did he bash Culver's? I don't watch his videos but I am interested in what he had to say.

The only thing Don has stated is that he doesn’t get it, and it’s not his favorite. No bashing, he just doesn’t go there. Obviously many people love it and that is great. We all have likes and dislikes and he is free to share his. Don spends a lot of time and research to keep us informed about this place. I am appreciative of the work he does and I don’t mind the ads in the videos so he can make a little bit of money to try and offset a portion of his costs.

I will say this, Captain Ds has far better fried fish. And I have had their Rueben and it was very bland. But the service and condiments are top notch. Nobody better in that regard.

Here is a great solution. Rent the space to all those that feel there is not enough parking and they are too entitled to walk from the parking lot. My amnesties fees should not have to pay to replace the grass or Maintenace of this area because of some spoiled entitle minded selfish people. There has not been a time I have seen no parking spots. You know you can park all the way back by the rec center and walk. That’s a pretty big lot to say there is no spots. And I am a veteran with 2 hip replacements, in need of both knees to be replaced and screws in my ankle but I walk because I don’t feel entitled or that the world owes me something for my injuries.

I don't have a dog in this fight since we do not own a golf cart and we do not go to Sawgrass, but I do have an opinion.

I think people drive crazy in golf carts. Since they now have to park with the cars in the parking lots, I think it will be more dangerous for the pedestrians walking from their cars to the entertainment. I'll be interested to see what happens.

Incidentally, the only time we park there is when we want to use the beautiful walking/biking trails along the lakes, but we park way in the back so golf cart traffic is not a problem for us.

Watching his videos is optional. Not to mention, he can talk about anything he chooses. They are not Public Service videos.
