Description
I feel like I wasn't as well-spoken as I could have been in this video. It had the strange dynamic that felt like a child coming to his parents or confidant to announce plans to elope. Things are definitely coming to a point where I may not be able to continue making content at all. It happened at an inconvenient timing when I was excited to "revolutionize" my channel and the way that I was producing ASMR for you, but the news contained in this video has quickly taken that initial excitement and stomped on it. Thanks, YouTube. I haven't approached them about it (despite some telling me I should) because I'm not a major player on YouTube. Those with larger voices than me are already speaking out towards this issue, and if they cannot make a difference my voice may not add. Each time I look into this I discover more people who have had this same thing occur to them.
So instead I'm taking another route and approaching you guys. Do you have any suggestions on a way I might increase support for myself here? Would you be willing to offer me any support in exchange if I were to create regular, quality, and varied content?
tl;dw: maybe 'dying' is too strong a word, but the channel could quite possibly go into a coma. If that would occur, it could be revived into a multiple personality situation. So there you go. I've officially ruined the analogy by personifying it too far. I truly don't know what will happen.
I could have just disappeared or gave a final video notice of things. It seems a lot of ASMRtists disappear without cause or notice. I do my best to be transparent, even if I am a little slow sometimes. Life comes first, naturally! I know most of my subscribers and audience doesn't really care whether I am here or not and that is okay. I am aware there are some to whom I am meaningful, and a video like this is addressed specifically towards that portion of those who watch me. Your encouragement has stoked the flame of my inner voice through the challenges along my own journey. The fire may die or it may change forms, but out of respect for the kindness you've shown me, I will not disappear without notice if at all possible.
I mentioned in this video that there were about five or six people who supported the Twinscapades. I didn't clarify in the video, but I was so grateful for those willing to give back to me that I sent each of them a short personal recorded message expressing my gratitude. To express my thanks publicly to them, here are the names of those who gave to me before. Thank you so much for encouraging me to create.
-Trent L.
-John S.
-Alexandra K.
-Mariana C.
-Kiyo
-Jennifer E.
Your support warms my heart and I sincerely hope I was able to express that to you all.
I appreciate every form of support, including the likes and the views and the attention given to me here, but these individuals extended their support in a time of great need for me and for that I am truly grateful.
This might be another one of those times soon. I'm interested and excited to see what will arrive. Only time will tell. Time, and dreaming.
Thank you.
