Why I killed Michinoku.

My reasons for ending the OtoMichinoku channel are far from "good terms" I made the channel on April 30, 2010 to respond to two tag responses from techromancer1, he tagged Otouto72 and at the time I did not want to do tags responses on that channel as I wanted that channel to remain a music channel. I was annoyed, hell I was pissed I'm not going to live a lie, I took the toys out of my pram and spat out my dummy, but that's my fault, that's one of the many mistakes I made in my two years here. I then found a way that I was able to respond to those tags without getting shit on by people who'd prefer if I "stuck with the music", Sledge070685 being one, by creating a new channel for the likes of tag responses, that being OtoMichinoku.

But from day one of making that channel, I figured this channel was not mine, but rather the community's and over time I realised I was not in charge of this channel, the term "Its My Channel" did not exist. I felt held back by the community to upload videos I wanted to upload, gamplay videos being the ones I was most held back with. My videos had to fit into the cliques and the cliches of the YouTube Gaming Community, it had to be done "their way" not my way, it had to be "professional", I had to sound "professional", my camera had to be "professionally run just like the big guys and the partners", in short, this was never my channel to begin with so what's the point in continuing to run it if its not mine, if I don't have any input on it, if I'm not the guy running the channel and deciding what I do or don't do on this channel.

And as of now, myself and techromancer1 are in far from good terms, he doesn't bother with me, I don't bother with him, I don't think he even liked me, he continually took the piss out of me, my mental health issues, my anxiety, he exploited those time after time again because to him it was fun! So this really was HIS channel, not mine, this was a "community" channel, not mine, so I'm doing away with it. From here on in, I do things the way it used to be done before I got involved in ANY community, the quiet one at the back of the class who only speaks when asked to, who only raises his hand when required, in other words, I do things my way.

So this channel is dead and buried, so its either farewell or good riddance - we'll let the community decide that call.
