 Oh hoi hoi and welcome to wait a second something's changed. What is it? Oh, right? My beard is gone for the moment. It'll come back. Don't worry. These things happen. I Wanted to talk today a little bit about how I'm not nearly as influential or Sometimes right as you guys think I am there's a lot of means going around Not a lot anymore. They come up every once in a while Which they're better memes than the old ones which were like Dr. Sumerian gets Murderously angry if you say that D-class get killed at the end of every month Which was really not something that bothered me all that much But more recently we've got the you know, I think everyone is wrong about everything thing Which you know, I like that one now. It's fun, but it's not an accurate representation of me I just want to be clear about that doesn't have to be an act a meme doesn't have to be an accurate representation of the person memes or memes They're exaggerations. They're you You know how it goes memes or stories even if you don't think they are but there's also been something else going around that's I just wanted to clarify because I Don't want to be taking credit for things that aren't really, you know credit takeable that's not a thing but People been saying to me like hey, did you see that? SCP the infographics shows SCP video They did an update where they corrected all of their problems and that was you that was because of you No, it was not because of me infographics show is planning on doing that long before I came along I just brought the thing maybe a little bit more to people's attention and then another one Did you guys see that the rubber put a? Cat um, what's it called a warning in front of his videos, which is something I explicitly suggested Um, I haven't talked to the rubber at all So I have no idea what the impetus for that was but I imagine I was just joining a sea of voices suggesting something along those lines I Don't want to take credit for the little you know those sorts of things just because like oh you did it You did a video about it And also I don't want to be contributing to the kind of drama That's like if the only way to change the world is to create a drama video no but the thing is There was another one on the scp wiki recently almost a few days after I did my art plagiarism video they put up a thread about In the o5 forums, which is the administrative forums about art theft and art plagiarism It's not exactly what I was talking about in the video But it's related There's a lot of that going on you know people talk about people are talking about art plagiarism more often now I think That one I'll take a little bit more credit for because the community is a little smaller for the scp wiki and more focused, but yeah I'm not gonna take all of the credit for it. I think that's probably something people have been planning again For a while. This is a sort of the thing is like maybe it was a little little bit of a bump a little bit of a bump The thing is I don't create those videos necessarily Just to create change I create those videos because I have strong opinions about a lot of things And because I have a strong opinions about a lot of things of Sometimes I probably go a little overboard on my opinions It's just how it's bound to be I don't think I'm doing anything wrong But I definitely don't want to be known as the drama the scp drama channel for god's sakes Um, but if I saw if I spot something that's wrong and that nobody's doing anything about or at least I think at the time Nobody's going to do anything about like to make sure and Get out in front of it and make sure it's a visible problem That's the biggest problem. I see it's not a matter of effecting change It's just a matter of making sure that something is visible that isn't being ignored A lot of people when there's a big problem with their content or with the way they operate We'll just assume as long as nobody's complaining about it. There's no problems And if they don't hear a lot of loud voices complaining about it, they'll assume there are no problems That's not true And hey, that goes both ways Like when people talk about my content and be like, hey, why are you always doing these drama videos? Sometimes I have to listen to that and be like, am I going too far? Am I do am I doing this the wrong way? And so far, I think I've been Fairly, I mean video games the scp video games video I did like to a few days ago Uh, in a sense that could be like, ah, you're calling people. I saw that in the comments You're calling people out One of them was even like, I can't believe you're calling people out that you work with How dare you? I'm like If you can't call out the people you work with every once in a while, what the hell are you doing? Like you You can right You gotta be able to be honest with people and like I do it a lot of this through videos, of course, but it doesn't have to be But anyway, I think that's it for this video I am going to be taking A couple of weeks off Let me look at the calendar real quick and get an estimate for what's going on. So starting with Well starting today after today We're going to be off the air until the 21st of october So i'm taking approximately two and a half-ish weeks off Uh, mainly just to recharge. I think a lot of you guys have noticed that I look Tired all the time and a little worn out. I don't think that's going to change. That's just how I look But I actually am Pretty tired right now all the time and a little worn out. So Um, and I've been doing this channel on time every every video on schedule on time for What two and a half years now I think is when I've started scheduling things and like I've the schedule has changed But I've always done a video by the announced time At no way. I was a late one. So it was 20 minutes late one day that one bugs me Can't believe it was 20 minutes late mainly because the uh, the I had the video done But it took like three hours to upload because either youtube was being weird or you know what it's not that important Or my or my internet was being weird, but you know what? It's not important It happened. I was 20 minutes late But other than that I've been pretty good and uh, I'd like to keep to that But at the same time I need to you know every once in a while just take a little bit of time for myself. So Taking a couple weeks You can expect my videos to come back on the 21st. No, no, not the 21st 22nd because that's 21st of monday So it's a 20 seconds of tuesday Nothing else is changing. I'm fine.
