 Sort of an interesting live stream. We pretty much never stream at this time, right? We like never ever ever stream at this time, but you know, it's a little bit of a different day today a Little bit of channel news to go over but besides that we'll go over the latest and greatest Nintendo news from the past week stories that we might have already covered in prior live streams and prior videos, but Maybe you haven't seen and we'll go over why that's the case and we're just gonna have a good time We'll chit chat. We'll still do the shots for super chats and all that weird crazy zany stuff But what we're really here for is well to give you the news about the channel and Nintendo So first of all we'll just take the shades off. It's all right let there be light There is still light outside right now, although it's about to get dark here in like 30 minutes. Welcome to winter Almost winter I suppose technically doesn't begin to like what December 25th So I think we're like three days or maybe it already began with the 15th. I don't know whatever it gets dark around here Pretty early. We will not be streaming from now into the ether So don't expect us to be streaming for like the next seven hours or something. That's not that's not what's going down We're just gonna be doing streaming. Yeah, maybe two hours here. We'll see. We'll see kind of how it goes Alright First why are we doing this live stream? Well besides bringing you the latest and greatest Nintendo news I have to bring you some channel news And this channel news isn't anything you guys can do about there. There's nothing that anyone can change This is just the ebbs and flows of being a YouTube content creator. We are Well blacklisted We're blacklisted by YouTube Now you might go what does that mean? What is what is being blacklisted by YouTube mean because obviously you believe me boy everyone will be in Blacklisted on YouTube isn't good right Like it's it's never a good thing So let's go over Let's go over what that means YouTube is ran by an automatic AI Okay, an artificial intelligence and automatically running artificial intelligence There are not a ton of YouTube employees, okay Relative to how massive it is to run YouTube. There is not that many employees. It is ran almost entirely by an AI and that AI Just kind of goes throughout the ether on YouTube and Randomly blacklist channels now. Sometimes there are reasons for the blacklist We don't know what the reason is that we are blacklisted right now. We just know that we are blacklists are something that Basically makes it so YouTube does not send out as many notifications as usual and does not share your content To as many people so even if you have a crazy click-through rate on your videos Which by the way a good click-through rate on YouTube is anything that's five percent and above My videos typically have a 10 to 15 percent click-through rate and that's after a month so It doesn't even matter if your click-through rate is good YouTube just kills your videos It affects your reach it affects your growth and it doesn't give your content out to your Subscribers or a majority of them. So what ends up happening is After a while they hope that your subscribers think your channel is dead because they're not being notified Not all of them are being notified anymore of videos. Sometimes your videos won't even appear in sub feeds That's all bad. It is even though you're subscribed you go to your subscription feed You still expect to see every video from every channel you're subscribed to in order of publication When you're blacklisted that doesn't always happen now. Some of you guys might see it. Some of you guys might not But if you're not see it, you're probably not here, right? So that's that's sort of the problem all of you guys that are here probably got notifications Probably saw it in the sub feed maybe on your home feed you guys are the crowd that are still gonna see it It's the other people that aren't so This normally this is something we've been throwing the channel before we've been blacklisted in the last five years I think on four different occasions the difference now is this is this is what I do for a living, right? This is a more serious time for it to happen to me because When I'm blacklisted I lose anywhere from 80 to 95 percent of all revenue that I normally make on my videos When you get like a thousand two thousand views on a video when you're at channel average is seven to ten thousand You legitimately make like five dollars and you you can't do YouTube full-time make it five dollars, right? So this isn't me saying like go join our patreon a patreon.com slash antenna prime Yeah, I'm this isn't me saying it telling you to do that or saying join to become a member or Super chat away that I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm begging for you guys's money There's no e-bagging here for you guys to lift me up. This is just the realities of being a youtuber and it's something I knew Was probably gonna happen again someday now. I'd rather it happened now than when Nintendo switch to launches Because obviously we don't want to momentum just stopped like dead as a doornail heading into switch to but This is just something that we have to deal with last time we had it It took roughly three months for us to get unblacklisted. There is no real Way to force YouTube to unblacklist you to force the AI to Re-review your channel and unblacklist you. We don't know what causes it We just know that it it happens sometimes so What does this mean for right now nothing? We're just gonna keep making our content the best the best thing you can do in your blacklisted is not stop a lot of channels make the mistake of stopping when they're blacklisted they just stop making content and just hope and That's not gonna get the algorithm to come check your channel in fact They'll just assume your channel is dead and they'll never come check your channel again So you just keep making content like nothing's wrong. So we're gonna keep our live streams. We're still gonna be streaming on Christmas We're gonna keep doing our thing keep doing the podcast every week we're gonna keep you know dropping videos and Maybe randomly hopefully in the next couple of weeks before you know by the time we get to January into January sometime The blacklist goes away if it doesn't I'll have to have a more serious conversation with you guys in January about how I'm gonna need to step back at the channel So I can go get another job That's the reality is that if this isn't fixed in the next two to three weeks Look at that I'm razor thin I'm being a full-time youtuber. So If I have to get another job, I have to get another job. This is why I don't eat bag Yeah, it ain't on you guys. I'll go get a job a different job Not a big deal not a big deal for me and also the fact that I'll have to make less youtube content That being said we're gonna keep trucking along no reason for you guys to panic right now. This is just what we're dealing with And I can even like show you, you know, if you if you want to see the effect I mean You tell me one of the blacklist begin When the blacklist begin Let's see 10,000 views 12,000 7,000 boom two one five hundred It's just getting lower and lower as we go Eventually we'll probably start having videos get under a thousand views overall so That's just how it goes when you're blacklisted It's all right. We'll be all right That being said we are just gonna keep going forward and talk about the latest and greatest Nintendo news One thing that's really cool For those that want to know and I will get to the chat this we are doing Q&A's as well We'll take questions I just want to make sure that we get through some news first because obviously we're gonna leave this live stream up We're not be playing any copyrighted music today. So you guys have music requests We're not doing copyrighted music today. We're gonna leave this stream is super clean when it comes to copyrights anyways But tears of the kingdom won another game of the year award. It won a game of the year award over at Edge So pretty interesting here. You can see it won the Nintendo game of the year Super Mario Bros. Wonder Pikmin 4 behind no surprise there. You can go down this list It took second place in best audio design And you come all the way down to best game of the year and it took the the award there It also wanted an IGN It won it at a few other outlets as well. I think there's like 30 total game of the year awards that That tears of the kingdom has walked away with now That's half as many as Walters gate 3, which we know took the big one But just sort of something to throw out there that it's just a really really interesting story And and just something to consider We know you don't you guys ought to keep it clean.

I have faith things to work out right Hey, who knows Thing is I sort of had a fee I had a suspicion Last night when I was streaming that we were blacklisted. There were some weird things going on behind the scenes of my stream That also can indicate that we're blacklisted, but I didn't want to believe it And and it was just confirmed today. So Um simply put in your resume to nintendo of america So you become that uncle that everyone talks about you mean so I can get fired after the first day of being there Uh, hey prime. I got a steam deck for christmas It just came today got the regular steam deck 512 gigabyte model for only 350. Hey, enjoy man. Enjoy the steam deck. There's so many good games on pc Enjoy, dude Uh, let's see here Uh, what is the big nintendo news? I went over it's the biggest nintendo news of the week It is not like There's a big massive story dropping right now that we went over some We can go over more if you would like we definitely have more news that we could go over. Uh, there's a new splat fest friends Duos solo something like that. What was the dang thing something something like that? I don't know I really should just give you the exact news. Let me open up this between twitter account Because that's where the news was Oddly enough only they're not even retweeted by uh nintendo america today Kind of weird Here it is So we got uh Splatoon north america's the slr fresh start division with the frosty fest details Who do you spend the holidays with? Do you whoop it up at friends? Do you settle in the family or kick back with some alone time? Way in at 4 p.m. Pacific on january 12th until 4 p.m. Pacific on january 14th Voting begins january 5th But bam Pretty cool. So there you go More news More news, um What do you think the open world game? Wait, why do you think open world games get so many complaints on being supposedly empty? Is there any validity to it? Uh If we're talking about quest 64, there's absolutely some validity to it The rest are that people Are unrealistic The whole point of an open world Is to give you what feels like a believable World to explore and live in okay Huge swaths of that world aren't going to have like crazy interesting things going on Think about the real go out and walk through the woods There's trees. There's some grass. You're not going to bump into animals all the time But people for some reason it's a video game Like when they're used to playing non open world games Let's just say like super linear experiences Um, they're used to just getting hit all the time. It's always something There's something constantly happening all the time all the time all the time all the time all the time all the time all the time all the time all the time And so when you go from that and then you go to a massive map That there is factually way more content and way more stuff going on But now there's just larger distances between it with some landscape stuff People are like, oh the world is empty. Oh, it's an open world. The world is an actual world If there was just stuff every two feet you walk, there's no point to have an open world But I don't know that's just my take you guys can have a different one And this is obviously just about zelda This is like a common complaint of like all open world games And it's like well, you just prefer linear games to play those they didn't go anywhere. They're still linear games out there Um hitman blood money is also going to switch nice That's a good one sam west hitman blood money Uh, let's see here The next ad here, uh, brownie punny produces. Hey, Nate. Uh, don't you mind me calling? Hey, Nate, do you don't mind me calling you that do you? No, man Uh, what are your plans for christmas? Uh, do you watch any christmas movies? So which ones? Uh, we've already watched the grinch Um Watch that every year. That's like the only one we for sure watch every year. Uh, jim carries version of the grinch Otherwise If you wanted to like what are my actual christmas plans are Uh, I mean look we we kind of christmas is sort of crazy in my family We have three different christmases used to be four, but julia's parents moved to florida's and now we don't have that side of the family uh, so we have Gosh, let me see here. We have Uh, my Dad's side of the family christmas eve, uh, then we have all the santa stuff Uh christmas morning, um, and then we have my mom's side of the family later on in christmas day Um, which it used to be a weekend used to be a separate weekend from christmas My mom said that for some reason this year we're doing it on christmas day So it's gonna be a very very busy 48 hour period very stressful as a parent of three kids, but uh, it'll be fine It'll be fine Might have to hit the eggnog quite hearty Christmas eve through christmas Might have might might have to uh, have quite a few glasses of egg Or maybe a splash of eggnog with my rum. I don't know Um We'll be all right I love I love my kids. It's just man holidays are just a lot It's just a lot these kind of holiday this particular holiday is like the most stressful holiday of All with the kids. Um Let's see here So the next one here, um Uh blacklisted from what uh youtube i'm i'm blacklisted on youtube I went over earlier what that means if you want to rewind the stream to check it out Um, let's see here. I beat tears of the kingdom. I don't know what game to play. No morrises and jackino underscore seven Well, there's a lot of games on switch Just go like go through the e-shop you start with the games that are free to play or a free demos You know what I mean free to play or free demos And start with that and then see where it takes you from there Uh, let's see here Uh touch versus my top five favorite games are all open world. So yeah, I have a hard time understanding people's complaints with a lot of Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's just a preference if you don't like that kind of game. It's okay. It's all right No one's gonna really judge you harshly for it It's not for everyone Um, let's see here. What's up, eric winstead? How you doing? Stopping every two feet you watch made phoenix rising an amazing game That's an opinion Edibles to the rescue Joyce jays suggesting at the pet trial. They're one and two Good games. See a star is good game. I don't know what kind of games you're into I mean you think zelda, so you sort of think about like zelda like games There's there's quite a few of them on switch Brony pony productions. Uh, by the way, you've been pronouncing brony in my name wrong. It's pronounced like pony So brony I can't I can't pronounce it brony I I really I really want to keep it clean I can't pronounce it brony. I can't I can't I just can't do it. I'm sorry, man I'll just call you productions from now on. We'll just skip to the last word. I can't I there's there's an in-joke reason I can't I can't go brony. I I just I can't maybe someday I'll tell the story Of why I can't use the word brony So I'd rather say brony, but I I can't I can't it's it's not It's too dirty It would be so not keeping it clean right now My kids are still awake keeping it clean Um No, the nintendo it's not nintendo. It's youtube um What why would my opinion on point crow change What does point crow have to do with any of this? I don't I'm totally confused What what what does point crow have to do with my channel being blacklisted by youtube? We have I've been blacklisted like four other times as this this is just part of being a youtuber The only people that don't really get blacklisted even they deal with it It's just on a smaller scale like like massive channels of millions of subscribers. They even deal with it. It's just it just is on a smaller scale At least it feel I mean it's probably not relatively. It's probably not a smaller scale. I suppose But they're so big they can they can usually weather the storm um Yeah, I literally don't know what point crow has to do with me being blacklisted. It's kind of a weird It's not a weird one um Fetch shock says if you feel like it uh or possible reveal are there any responses uh to the journalist video from earlier today I mean there's comments on it. You can just go read the comments um People are wondering what i'm referencing with the whole brony thing. I just I can't even Yeah Oh, I can't I know by the way. I know it's a term I know what's the term that's been used for a long time. I just can't I can't Um Let's see. Well, I guess we caught up in the chat. There really isn't anything else going on in the chat So, yeah, you know what that means. It's on me. It's on me to entertain so we I mean I can go in the story. So here's the problem I can't go into story time because most of my stories are not even pg-13 So I mean all like literally all that's coming around is like me just wanting to talk about this whole Like oh, let me give you my experience with this, uh This whole shadow band stuff So I've been shadow band before it happened last year. Uh, it was about three months And it it really sucks now. I I was working full-time somewhere else So it wasn't like I couldn't weather the storm and everything was fine Um, but it literally took my videos from like 5000 views down to like 500 views And it was like that for like three months straight notifications weren't going out We still did some live streams here and there in the podcast, but viewership was down by like Gosh, what was it? Uh 80 for those three months Um And there's not really much you can do about it. You just keep making content I did get discouraged at one point and may and and when it first started happening I stopped making content for like two weeks And that was a mistake and I shouldn't have did that as I found out When you're like this you want to keep making content. It's the only way to get out of it um so The problem now is that since I'm a full-time youtuber and again, this is not me complaining. It's not me e-bagging Um Now that I'm full-time, but I'm full-time just barely right like I make just enough to to sort of just get by I'm paycheck to paycheck So when you don't quite make enough Uh, suddenly you got to be like, hey, it's time to consider out other options in life So I'm not looking for a job at the moment But if it's still like this in about two and a half weeks I will be turning into applications because I can't I can't I can't go I can't be in january I mean, I can't even really the rest of this month, but I really can't start january and really not be making money Uh, and that's the reality. I got kids to worry about there. There's other responsibilities. That's not just about myself So while I love this job I need to be realistic so if we're Not doing well You know that first week of january. It's time for me to be realistic And go get a go get another job I don't probably have to be full-time because the kind of the kind of money like my videos yesterday They each made two dollars and like 20s. No, my one video was two dollars and 20 cents yesterday. It's not gonna cut um Production says do you think we'll get mario baseball next year? Uh, I hope so I hope so It would be nice, right? We haven't had a slugger's in a while Well, that would be really nice. Uh, doggy says, can you explain I'm getting blacklisted again? It's just something that's happening. They don't send out notifications to a majority of the people like we have like 17,000 people set to get notifications Usually about 8,000 or so, uh, get sent out every video Uh, it's not happening. Some are still being sent out. Some of you guys are still getting them Um, but uh, it's not being sent out to the majority like it used to Which leads to our video not gaining momentum, which leads to not suggesting the video which leads to the video being dead It's life We'll just deal We'll just keep pushing on hope for the best Revisit it in three weeks I kept trying to think like what could I do to really break the algorithm And the only thing I could think of Is just get super clickbaity And if I do that, I don't want to ruin my reputation. I mean like people already don't think my reputation's great I go out there and be like nintendo just revealed the nintendo switch too, right? That would be the most clickbait thing ever I I wonder if that would break their their AI I'd also lose, you know thousands of subscribers because of that video So I can't do that But you know what I mean like that's the only thing I could think of is like you just make up news that isn't real So I'm just gonna do what I do and hope hope it bounces back. Well, we'll have another video tomorrow at least one Maybe we'll do a stream tomorrow as well. We'll see Uh play the algorithm do a video about how chat gpt Would design the next zelda game put out a few shorts describing leaks make the other ones turn your channel back on And I can't make more leaks and rumors happen right like that's not what I do We don't make stuff up So like you know right now the rumor mills dry the leak the leaks are dry the news is really dry Uh, it's just everything's dry right now too. So on top. I don't like have much my video today That zelda video to me was an amazing video And normally that's like a 10,000 view video Having less than a thousand views hours later is uh Not good because that's a really good video Like that's the kind of video that does well on my channel but Oh well That was like my my hope today dropping that video was being like Maybe this will break break me out of the slump. Nope So stagger I need to do something about it. Have you asked the youtube staff as the white? Yeah, I talked to one person behind the scenes and they just said, oh the ai does what it does They have no explanation They they have no explanation Camelot 331 I talked to him a bit about it too. He he goes through this a lot. He goes through Um getting blacklisted quite a bit So he knows what it's he knows what it's all about, you know, this is just it's just happens um Have you ever been the Nickelodeon universe in all of america? Oh, of course I have Also when it used to be camp snoopy also before that when it used to be I used to be called something else before that It's had like several different iterations there Yeah, I've been there And I'm asking if we can go on to aquaman 2 tomorrow. Nice What are we down for streaming at least once or twice? Oh streaming a game is what you mean um, maybe Yeah, 470. That's it's pretty bad Yeah, I thought the video was great. It's a great video. It happens Uh production says I'm pretty sure I've been subbed to you since you were much smaller I think under 50k it was when I first subscribed to you. You had only like 10k or more You're really small. Thank you Yep, we we've definitely grown we we've had a lot of growth over the years Uh, what is youtube ai does twitter do the same? What happens if you stop tweeting or posting videos for five weeks and how come old channels still get subbed for a few years? Uh, so okay So youtube's ran by an ai. It's an it's an artificial intelligence and a giant algorithm And it makes all the decisions um Twitter has an ai as well. All the all social media platforms have an ai. Absolutely um So, yeah as for what happens if you stop tweeting or posting videos for five weeks, uh, nothing really happens Uh The biggest thing is you probably won't pop up in people's for you section when you start tweeting again But if people go to the other section, that's just their subscriber, you know who to follow You know people I follow section. You'll still pop up there YouTube's a bit weird because sometimes when you're blacklisted you don't pop up in people's subscribed video section YouTube's like the only place that's like that. Yeah, I've already talked to youtube I talked to someone at youtube already They they just said uh Everything's fine on our end. Here's then youtube doesn't recognize blacklisting the people who work there don't recognize blacklisting It's something that content creators who have been through it know about it But youtube doesn't recognize it. So when you bring it up to them, they're just going up your your channel's in good standing That wasn't what I was asking Thanks for the non-help Um Damn bro. You hit your 24 month member anniversary next month. Hell yeah Eric win said about to become that blue bomber in january Not enough switch to god No, I don't make it a switch to content No, I make I make no switch to content at all Yeah Switch to content be gone I usually do I didn't put this one out on twitter, but I usually do tweet out every time i'm live Could have made this one a super controversial title I should I should should I do it? I could rename this stream. I wonder if it would get more attention from people who aren't part of my channel YouTube is blacklisted me Sometimes that works Um, this happened. Okay. So I got blacklisted back In september of 2019 as well Um, after we were blowing up and we got blacklisted in the middle of blowing up and youtube jacked a bunch of money from me Because they thought I was botting And so I made a stream We're literally the title was YouTube stole three thousand dollars for me And I I mean I bitched and I complained and but then we had like a thousand plus people watching live Well, there's They they they always claim blacklisting doesn't exist, but It does it because it's because it's all done by the ai They don't know most people at youtube don't actually know how the They've the ai's been running on youtube for so long. Most people who work at youtube don't even know how it works Uh, let's see here. Let's see. Yeah, if we're gonna retitle it Just for funsies. I'll put it. I'll put it back to the original title But just for funsies Just to see what happens. See if I could see if I can trick it Trying to find a good Sure Sure, that'll work Let's use that one We're gonna try to trick it trick it to see if I can can can pop up in some With a certain other users Mmm Where'd my file go where'd it go? Oh, is it the wrong image format? You're the wrong image format, aren't you? Where wait what? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, where'd you Where'd you download to save image as? All right, so do that. We know save image as Do that All right Sorry, I do have to convert it. We'll get it. We'll get a convert here We're just doing a very simple thumbnail. This is nothing crazy But I do need to make sure that I do it correctly. All right, um nicky short, holy Wow People always claim like oh He only cries because he's he's buzzing or drunk or something. No, no Thank you. I I don't even In theory I reject this money. It is only in practice that I accept it. Thank you so much Nikki I'm the one giving away people are supposed to be this generous Because that's what I believe in doing like hey Go down in the ways of glory if I'm gonna go I don't I don't I don't want to think things are over. I'm not I'm not to that point yet But I can't lie that it's on the back of my mind So I've been through this before I just know I can't survive a three month blacklist if that's what happens again, but Well, thank you so much nicky short Really enjoy your content.

Yeah just let me deal with My emotions at the moment, okay Let me get my emotions under control for a second because I'm I'm so grateful I mean, I'm grateful for every dollar that's given but I'm trying to like give back to the community this holiday You know, we had a 20 dollar e-shop gift card giveaway going on on a video from yesterday We have a $10 one today a $50 on our stream like I'm trying to give back for the holidays and push through and and just brighten people's days and I don't like drama But it's not my fault and that's what I hate is when There we go I changed the title YouTube is shadow Bami and there's a new a new thumbnail Thank you so much. I'm sorry. Do I look like I'm stressed. I'm not stressed over the hundred dollars. I'm so grateful I just Thank you Like from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much I think part of it's just This isn't like a normally like if this would have been like Bama hot or something I would have been like, of course Bama's doing that But this is somebody who I've never seen do a super chat before let alone a big hundo Like this is just somebody that I didn't was I don't know who nicky short is This is not a username. I recognize and she just dropped a hundred dollars to brighten my day like Oh, thank you so much. I I do appreciate it Let me get this down and then um Man, thank you so much. Nicky. I keep looking for you in the chat as well And I'm not seeing anything but that's okay if you're just more of a lurker. Thank you so much uh that gamer guy Did yo, merry christmas. Thank you so much Merry christmas to you as well, man Happy holidays, whatever you guys celebrate if you don't celebrate anything at least tell your family. You love them Don't have any family. Well, I love you So I don't have accounts for anything Thank you so much The gamer guy 1981 new dollars Did I even hurt the super chats aren't anything I hearted them? Nope That's too busy being a bit a bit emotional too. Thank you so much. All right Oh, it's good. There were some people in the chat said Cheer up, bud. I'll be our I'll be all right, redbeard It is it is a it is a It is a bit of a bummer Um, hopefully it's a short I I've never had a shadow band last Uh less than a month This will be the fourth or fifth time it's happened all the prior times it lasted at least a month the last time was three months This time I'm like look we can maybe survive a week Um, and that's only because you know this December some of you guys have been very generous um Thank you for that, uh where we've almost Oh, especially if the a hundred dollar don't know, uh, we are Almost to the break-even point that I need to be be out for my normal monthly revenue. So um I could survive probably through december A blacklist but if it continues into into january, I This is what it is We're just gonna keep on keeping on We're gonna keep it going. That's like hey regardless of what happens. All it means is I have to go get a job Like this is a job. It just means I'll have to go get a normal job And that's all right Yeah, it doesn't so it doesn't hit everyone eric. That's that here's the problem Like talking about this anyone who's here at the stream you guys are the ones that aren't affected You know what I mean You guys are the one to get the notifications you guys are the ones that are going to see it on your home page and see You guys don't be affected by it It It's the people you never hear about the people you never see around You know the thousands and thousands that click on those notifications every day to watch You know, we don't have thousands of people watching our live streams, right? So That that those are the people that are affected by it the most um I think like the super hardcore. It probably won't rip my videos from the super hardcore um And I would describe anyone who watches my live streams to be a pretty hardcore Um, I don't know a super fan. I don't know. I don't want it to be like creepy But something like that Uh, the mood is it's working. I mean, yeah, the viewership did rise up. What would we gain after I change the title? Because I mean, it's not the title is not a lie. We just change it from talking Nintendo news to this because now we're We're done with Nintendo news Um, but I'll I'll re-update the title after the fact. I don't want to I don't know I don't want to make too big a video out of it YouTube just sent me to the shadow realm That's a good one I gotta fight my way. I got I need to collect the what is it and how many pieces of the triforce you got to collect in The wind waker like seven I need to collect all the pieces of the triforce so I can get the light shining again Find my way out um Let's see here Oh, yeah, dude. I don't expect any like that's what was so sweet about niki's honda. I don't expect anyone To to be just donating in the super chatting right now That doesn't make even make sense. It's the holiday season. We're all supposed to be broke, right? like I know I am um I'm hyped for skull and boned Sand light no fire uh I just pick and choose the ones pertain to me. Sorry. I don't watch them all Eric, it's okay, man. I don't expect people to watch every video. It's gonna always be like It's gonna always be one of those things where um I Know that not everyone likes every piece of content, right? You're gonna pick and choose like some people just want the Zelda news Some what some like the prime news episodes where I go over like five different stories So they'll only watch prime news. Some people only watch the live streams They don't even watch the other videos, but they love the lives There are people that literally are only subscribed to my channel So every Wednesday to watch the podcast You notice the podcast views are always the highest viewed night of all my streams There are people that are literally subscribed just to watch the the podcast every week So like there are people that subscribe, but they only want part of what I do I don't expect anyone to actually consume all of my content Like that's just unreasonable You know, I when you're covering news You're only going to watch the news you're interested in or the opinion videos you're interested in or the streams you're interested in You're not going to consume everything. That doesn't make any sense Like I'm subscribed to a bunch of channels. I don't watch every video and everything they do only the ones that interest me So I understand that What's a Christmas gift that YouTube has given me? They've never given me a gift Unless you talk about the plaque the 100k plaque On the letter back here. That was a really emotional time, but that wasn't for Christmas That was an achievement that we we really obtained the 100k thing. That's a community achievement Like that's literally it doesn't exist without you guys. So that's a community achievement Um You need to collect all three pieces to the algorithm Uh, how do you know you're shadowing? Okay. Good question. Hold on. Let me get to the super chat here from Brian Doe $2. What would happen if we all unsubscribe and resub? Uh, no, thank you. Please don't do that. We're not mr. Beast Where people were doing that to him joking around when he was hitting 100 mil and 200 No, just stay subscribed. Don't worry about it Thank you so much for the two dollars though to get that comment in Um, so to answer group six seven eight you said, how do you know your shadow man? So I'll show you something I'll show you something I'll give you examples So we got to go uh for the full thing okay So i'm gonna show you this Uh, let me hide that super chat. All right. So this is this is my most recent video I mean you can literally see it's 1k less than usual. Blah blah. That's not what I really care about Look over here Notice that there's nothing here from notifications Keep that in mind for a moment Just just just just keep that in the back of your mind nothing from notifications Keep that in mind This video is from a couple days ago Now in one you'll see a lot of youtube search because uh When you are shadow band you you're not really appearing in search um for for very specific terms But you'll also see 5.6 of these 12.8k views. This is only for the last 48 hours Um is notifications Well, let me show you something else Let's go. Let's go to a more recent video 8.8 percent. This is a video from from two days ago as well 8.8 percent notifications. Hold on not good enough yet Let me show you what it's supposed to look like again Again, this is yesterday. Okay. This is when the shadow band began So when the shadow band began yesterday 12.7 percent What happens is We have I'll show you another stat And I pay crazy attention to the stats because this is how you find out what what youtube is doing with your content If you go down here, let me show you guys. Okay. Okay, stop I hate this mouse over crap anyways You'll see that we have 16.9k People who have turned on all notifications. We have almost 10,000 9 9500 people who have turned on all notifications and Have youtube notifications enabled On their phone. So this means Every video you upload this many people Should be getting a notification that I mean this many should be sent but this many people Should be getting should actually have the notification pop up on their phone if they have the youtube notifications turned off They have it turned off Can't do anything about that. That's a personal choice So what usually happens is we have about a 20 hit rate on those notifications Those notifications are primarily sent out in the first five to ten minutes of a video being live So that means You got about nine ten thousand notifications that go out 20 hit. That's two thousand views In the first hour a video goes out notifications represent something like 85 percent of all views In the first hour. Okay. That's what on my typical videos All right, you can look at this notifications aren't even on the list They're not even on the list This happens and you can shadow man and when you don't get the influx that you normally get They don't put it in the search. They don't put it in the stuff and next thing, you know, the viewership just goes And I've had this happen several times. It's not hit me on three videos in a row It's gonna probably hit me again tomorrow You can't do anything really about it. That's sort of the sad thing. It is something I again, I've already talked to a couple of the youtubers that have been shadow man I've been there's no way out. You just keep making it until their algorithm Comes out of nowhere and brings you back the algorithms got to grab you pull you back grab you pull you back again You could see You could see You could see 10,000 12,000 nearly 7,000 to 18 seven Actually, we know this is more like nine It's just how it goes. Um So we'll just deal It is what it is again. I'm not gonna panic right now. There's no panic. It's just uh sad Only way I can really describe it's sad um We're gonna keep on keeping on I am not someone who like like, uh, I know we had a couple super chats I'll get to those in a moment I want to bring this up because virtue of allure said honestly I feel like it's reasonable for you to ask for support here and something like this I'll explain why I will never ask for money Um, I will never ask people like well if you don't support my patreon, you know Blah blah during this tough time if you don't super chat it in this tough time. Well, please give me money I am not gonna say I've never e-bagged well on youtube, but the last time I did it was like four years ago And I sort of myself. I'll never do it again It it feels super shitty and you guys are not responsible for my bills. You are not responsible to pay me If you guys super chat and do do things and we have fun together and it's all the kindness of your heart And we're just having fun and that's all fine That's fine. I don't you're allowed to look we had a hundred dollar super chat already We've had other super chats as well like that's fine, but I do not expect you to pay my bills I Literally don't expect you guys to pay my bills and take care of my stuff. I'm not dsp. I Would rather just go get a job Go get another job If we're blacklisted and we're still blacklisted heading into january and we were really bad starts to january It's fine if the journey of being a full-time youtuber is on pause or done for a while or just done entirely I don't know. I'm always going to make content. I'm always going to do streams However, there'll be significantly less if I have to work a full-time job somewhere else and that's okay I'm just pointing out that I Don't feel comfortable Asking for support When Let's just be honest I don't like Being like reliant on the generosity of others to do my job and pay my bills and take care of my kids I am not disabled I am not incapable of working other jobs. I grew up that you always pick yourself Off the ground. I literally was homeless for two months Didn't have to be Could have called my parents and my grandparents could have asked for help No it ain't When I was homeless, this is a long time ago It ain't on them to support me anymore. I'm an adult I deal with the consequences of my choices And I picked myself up off the ground Go get a damn job get out of my situation Eventually was able to rent an apartment Was I was I going down to the local park? With a one dollar bar of soap from the dollar store and scrubbing myself walking everywhere Sure as hell was that was how I took the showers and baths Until I started at paychecks rolling and like I buy some hygiene stuff And then eventually had had enough set aside to go rent an apartment but like I picked myself up. I don't ask for anything I'll give you I'll give you a recent example So we needed new tires on our car, right? We had a nail in one of our tires, but our treb was already really low And so we were going to do what we were going to do. We were going to go Week at a time because my my fiance is working, right? So she gets paid every week I get paid once a month. I make more than she does Collectively we make enough to pay for everything, but we never really have We have one vehicle and it's like $1,200 for tires for that vehicle. So We never really have that amount of money all at once right now So instead of a saving for it, especially since we had a nail on the tire We decided we're going to buy one tire a week, right? So we're going to buy one tire a week I don't know what happened my mom caught wind that we were going to buy one tire a week And and just deal with the fact that the wear and tear is going to be a little different on each tire It is what it is. But that's just what we could afford to do. Um, didn't ask for help or anything The next thing you know Um My mom tells me to meter meter at the store because she needs help You know carrying something and my mom is disabled She she literally has um, she's amputated at the knee Or just below the knee. So she's disabled. So and my dad works full time Uh, technically he works full time and a half because he also works a part-time job Uh, despite being a big tech CTO, he works a part-time job delivering pizzas Um, because they still need more money because my mom can't work So I uh, I'm like, oh my mom probably needs help carrying stuff or whatever. So I you know, so I go to the store Uh, and turns out I was there to get four tires put on my car. Now my mom could have uh, Not done that because she knows I would have never asked her. I don't know how she knew that I was getting tires I don't know how she knew I was just about to order a tire today You know, you only got paid today. We're going to order a tire today To first take care of the nail one the next week another one the week after another one But here's the thing my mom was going to gift it to me I said no I got my mom to agree to $250 payments for the next few months until we till we pay off the tires I don't ask for help I refuse to be a charity act I've got three children I'm the main provider for the family If what I'm currently doing isn't good enough I'll go do something else That's my mentality and it's been that way and I'm upset at my mom that she sprung the tires on me. It was more so just uh Hey, we're not just going to take that kind of money. We're No, no, no, we're gonna We're gonna work out a payment plan and pay you guys back as fast as we can So she said hey, what can you afford extra per month? And I said this based on you know our last couple months This is what we get before but this is before I was shadow man. So there is that as well um But it's okay the bottom line is If I don't make enough, I'll just go work somewhere else I am I'm just not I'm I refuse to be Like other content creators and I besides dsp I don't want to call anyone out. I will never go to my community and say hey Because we're shadow banned if you don't help me raise x amount of money while I'm shadow banned every single month I can no longer do youtube full-time fuck that And on you guys to enable me to do youtube full-time That's on me and on youtube and if it's not working out. It's not working out. I'll just go get a job You know and and that's that's just how I am. I know everybody isn't that way Um, but I've just always been that way like that's just So as much as I appreciate, you know, like my mom, but even then I'm paying her back Like, you know, I don't want I don't want my mom's charity And my parents know I I never asked them for anything. I think I think what happened How my mom found out she called four days ago Just FaceTime me Uh, and she saw that my face was beat red And it was from stress. I was super stressed out um I didn't tell her about the tires because I was part of the stress, but there's a bunch of other stuff and uh I remember her Thought thinking she muted herself and she says she says hold on a second She sets it on the phone and I heard her saying in the background to my dad I've never seen Nate stress like this his whole face is beat red and I could just tell like he's just Something's going on something's going on something's there there's just stuff something's happening Or a lot's happening and he's not telling us because He's trying to be you and just handle it himself And I heard all of that Didn't tell my mom I heard it all but uh, and I think through that um I don't know if they talked to julia Asked my kids my kids knew we had that we needed the tires So somehow she found out uh from somebody else and so I think she was just trying to take some of that stress off of me Um, even though I already had a plan for it but And this is just more stress on top, but I mean in the end this is stress I'll deal with look if I have to go get another job in january We have to get another job it's cool There's there's a lot of places higher and getting a job is not not like hard to do This is just what I love and if This is the beginning of the end of me doing this full time not the beginning of the channel We're gonna keep going. Wow, but this is the beginning of the end of me doing this full time I'm not only am I incredibly thankful to you guys. You gave me a full year And some change like a full year in a month of me doing something I love for a living and I wouldn't give that back for the world I've been a full-time youtuber since november 1st of 2022 And for the last year and a month I got to do what I love for a living my life has been more joy filled I've had more time to be with my children I've had more time to do other things in life that I really really love to do I got to spend more time having fun with you guys as well. It's been an incredible I wouldn't give this year back for anything And if this is the beginning of then it's the beginning of the beginning of the end of the full time And I'll just accept it I'm not gonna stop making content I'm gonna stream less the podcast will still happen every wednesday unless my New job requires me to work and then I'll have to move it to a different day, but We'll adjust Uh, so I will still be making content just a lot less of it a lot less live streams podcasts will still be every week And uh, we'll just go from there You know, um That's why I'm not gonna go to my community and maybe I'm being naive. I don't know but that's just that's just how I am man That's just how I am like I don't That's just who I am as a person, you know, I don't I don't rely on other people to take care of problems I can take care of myself like the tire thing is nice, but yeah, I have to get one tire a week for the next four weeks Hey, at least I'm taking care of it myself I'm not relying on other people You know making up for it, you know what I mean, that's just that's just me though I don't know if everyone else is that way. I don't expect people that's just my mentality My mentality is my problems are my problems and not other people's problems And I will deal with it Because I'm capable of dealing with it It'd be different if I like Had cancer or something like something really bad was going on where I am literally incapable of dealing with it But if it's within my ability to take care of myself I'm gonna do it So thank you so much chryslander for the five I do appreciate it. Uh, there was another super chat the guy missed as well. I don't know if it'll let me feature it I don't think it will let me let me go look at the back end here Um organize this to uh this um No, maybe that was the one That was chryslander's 10th super chat by the way on the channel. Thanks, buddy all right Let me read the chat now. I've been I've been just going off responding to that thing I haven't actually read the chat in a bit So let's see what the chat's saying um I'm just scrolling back up a bit uh Uh production says how do you feel about giving around Christmas? I'm really excited for christmas day, but not for what i'm getting but to see my family happy to open the gifts Yeah, yeah giving always Giving always feels better than receiving I know that like it's cool to get gifts, but giving always feels better and I am looking forward to um Especially my my godchildren Obviously my kids, you know, yeah, they'll enjoy their stuff, but um Yeah, I uh have i've an i've a niece and a nephew newborn nephew So he's not going to really enjoy it as much right? He's like he's literally like a month old Uh, but my niece she's starting, you know, she's in that that two-year-old range getting up to two Uh, I can't wait to see the look on her face. Um when she opens up our present. It's gonna be It's gonna be nice My kids look I see them I see their reactions every year and They're getting older now. So sometimes they're like unappreciative If it's not the exact thing they wanted Uh, they're kind of hitting that like we have a teenager now our daughter's now 13 So like it's very you know, you get to that age and they start to be like hey That's not what I asked for even though it's something they clearly need and santa paid attention Um Highly in ross says happy holidays. Nate. Well deserve gift for the amazing content you've given us here Well, thank you so much And everyone is watching make sure you go uh Enter that giveaway that we got going on $50 each up gift card. We're gonna announce the winner at the end of the stream Uh, let's see here. Uh, is it true impressions tracked if your shadow been Yeah, uh, how many people unsubscribe from the journalist video you made recently it just sounded controversial Uh, we didn't lose any subscribers from that video We're actually up subscribers today technically We're only up like one, but we're up So But now that that video we uh, we yeah, that's the one we have plus one subscriber on that video So, uh, let's see here We're barely getting any views like we're not really gonna gain a bunch of subscribers right now Uh, let's see here You know, it's not about the holiday shopping holiday shopping doesn't isn't why notifications aren't sent out That's just youtube um They only gave me a shadow ban for that's what you were saying you bastard I'm sorry. I shouldn't say that we're trying to keep it a little pg pg 13 I guess bastard fits in in that range gamer 1288 Merry christmas nintendo prime Oh youtube Oh shadow ban shit Can I return this? I don't want it YouTube take the shadow ban back That's funny That was my christmas present from youtube Take it back. I don't want it I guess I was a bad boy this year. That was worse than coal man You could have gave me coal. I could have used that for heat. Maybe I got to cook something if it was charcoal Cook some food But no you gave me that damn it Can you give me something good Let's see here What do you think about sharing nintendo private social media platforms over to force live? Yeah, I mean look That's one thing you guys can do if you want just make sure you you know Consciously make an effort to go to nintendo prime's youtube channel at the end of every day Watch the videos try to watch them all the way through so you get higher watch time Share it on all your social media platforms with your friends and family or whatever Leave likes and comments I mean that's just a hope thing though Like that's literally like a hope and a prayer that that would even make a difference because none of those Content creators when this happens know what causes it and know how to get out of it. We just know that it does eventually stop You do eventually get out of it. You just don't know when And you You just keep going And then you just keep hoping and praying Uh a person who may or may not exist is could also be the expected december lull Let me show you a little something about december wake me up When december ends Let me show you something Oh now we just lost two subscribers, so we're down for the day anyways I'm gonna show you a little something about december December lull i'm a content creator December is one of my best months of the year Every year december is one of my best months of the year There is no such thing as a viewership lull in december We have 35 more views already than we do in the same period from november Like it no we're There's no such thing as a lull. Oh did I even show you? Oh, I think I showed you. Yeah, I hit the right button Sorry, I thought I hit the wrong button on my on my stream deck So we actually get more viewership october november december are our best viewership months of the year at the channel Typically technically tears of the kingdom April may june was our best for the year Uh, but that was an unusual circumstance most years. It's november december um in october um You should look into a cdl if you find something local you might be able to still do youtube as well as be home with uh every night with your family Uh, I'm still gonna be doing youtube. I'm just not gonna be doing it as often. That's the reality Right now, um to do what I do currently is 10 hours a day um No matter what I do full time takes away a majority of that availability So that's just reality um Yeah, gotta let mothers be mothers. I mean that's the way it is I know that I might be that way if my kids do they're older just force it upon them if I find out and I know I can help but um You don't want to end up working a job that you're not passionate about and doesn't pay decent money. I mean look No matter where I go, I'll be making at least 15 um It's enough That with julia's revenue. We'll get by What I can't do is uh work This job and then only Only make like Super chat money only basically is what would end up happening because the ad revenue would be gone I can't I can't is no I can't do that. It's all right. We'll be all right But here's the thing this is in the end. We have we have three weeks to see what happens Hopefully we're turned around in three weeks And we're good and if we're not I'll do what I gotta do um And I haven't been passionate about any other job I've ever worked and I've worked a ton of other jobs I'm not passionate about any of them, but I can do them That is what it is. It's not about passion at that point. It's about paying bills taking care of your kids Uh, I feel you my wife, um Tuscant just needed 3 000 work for a vacuum pump and turbo related issues Yeah, dude, you never know when that sounds good. I like the tires. I sort of knew I I kind of knew uh So the tread wasn't entirely gone on the tires But I knew that you know, it was getting to the point that we were gonna have to probably replace them At least next month. So I was kind of hoping to push it off Um, but then the nail and the tire happened and it's like wow at that point You know, you're not gonna pay to repair the damn tire when you literally know you're gonna replace it like a month later. So So that's when we made the plan to do a tire a week Took me a bit to come to that idea to do because I I wasn't even kind I was thinking oh, let's do two tires and then we realized I couldn't really budget that out right now Because the holidays are super damn tight, you know because you spend so much on presents and Travel and all this stuff. So next thing, you know, you don't really have the budget there to really even get the two tires It's whatever life moves on um Your good service internal rumors and leaks and news so Be sad you fall off because you have to work so much. I mean, look, we're still gonna make content I'll just have to change where it is because obviously it wouldn't be daily news content anymore um You're also a small business owner providing this. Well, I yes, technically this is a business. It's a legal business I gotta be taxes on and everything. I have to file business filings I have to separate out personal income from business income lots of Finally business taxes are fun, but The job is fun Um Let's see here Um, do I play minecraft or not My daughter used to play it a little bit, but no one he really plays them anymore Uh, we find all the super chat I missed We missed one Oh I forgot to heart it. That's the first super several Highland Ross. Happy holidays. Well deserve gifts and amazing content Thank you so much. Yeah, I think I showed that already, but I forgot to heart it. That's what I was confused about Thank you so much for your first super chat. Yeah taxes taxes aren't fun for anyone Personal taxes business tax is none of it's fun um Let's see here Yeah, ab james, I don't I'm not even thinking about the cruise right now uh So we do have a cruise plan for next year It's about halfway paid off. It was a nine-day cruise. Um It was sudo going to be like our honeymoon Uh, and it's non-refundable and we've got three grand into it And uh, if things Especially if the shadow band happens we we we might just have to eat the three grand loss So we're not gonna be able to afford to pay the rest off, but that's my problem That's my problem Not your guys's problem. So Again, that's for me to worry about not you guys I know you guys are aware of it because I brought it up, but like That's not your guys's problem. That's something we plan and we've been making payments to for a long time and It is what it is We saw you being responsible with your savings. Let's penalize you for that. Oh, dude. Gotta gotta love Gotta love how that works sometimes um Publishing clearing house arrives on the store set with a fat one million dollar check. Nate. No, thanks. I don't need help I I would seriously question that they're really from publishers clearing house Or if it's really just a ploy to get access to my bank account Like if I go to the bank to turn in the check It's actually like micro chipped up and they're about to get access to everything and just jack every every you know I mean, I would think it's fake I wouldn't even believe That publishing clearing house was at my house to give me a check. I just wouldn't even believe it Even if the money appeared to me, I would still think there's a scam going on Thought I mean, that's an unrealistic scenario, but I'm just saying I would still feel scammy to me So I'm going through all the ads in the chat right now Um Uh, but it never uh, but it never asked for help sir. You got friends family in the chat that can possibly help whenever Senior remark. Yeah, but that as I said like Look if it gets to that point, I'll just I'll just go get another job. It's life It's kind of a kind of a bit of an old-school mentality, but I'm a man I take care of my kids Yeah, I do I take care of my family I'm in I I'm fortunate to be in the position I am to do something I love and if it if it comes to the point I can't do it anymore to support my family fine I got to make the decision to go do other stuff to support my family. It's okay I will be very sad. It'll be a very emotional day when that decision is made I'll probably do a live stream about it. Um, because I want a chance to let you guys know what's going on, but That'll be I'll be extremely emotional that day because you never want to like give up Because that's what it'll feel like You know, you do it full time for a year everything's going good and then something happens You don't control and actually, you know, it's like Almost feels like I'm not because they'll always in the back of mind We hope that things will bounce back at some point and then I can come back to doing it full time But that's always gonna be in the back of my mind, but you got to be realistic about it You know Um, do you think youtube is trying to silence you for calling out the completionist? Don't know. None of us ever really know why a shadow man's happened. Again, I've been through them before I just wasn't a full-time youtuber. So it was whatever. I just dealt with and moved on it was Didn't affect anything Because any money I did make on youtube is just a bonus to my normal revenue I think you do let me see here Did you hit from bots on that video? I have no idea not like I can know it It doesn't it doesn't ever show you bot like we the only way to know you have a lot of bot views Is if it's an external view? From another country and the external views are I don't say like 50% of your videos from external views Then that's probably bots Because most of your views are going to come from notifications or locally on youtube or google search If it is Extreme amounts of views from an external link somewhere that that's by views um Let's see here For some hope I have received the notification from the live Uh, yeah, again, it sends it out for some not everyone. I know you'll keep it going to say nothing for you Yeah, try to keep it positive, right? Like I'm trying to accept The worst possible outcome in the I don't know Oh Like in the back of my mind I'm trying to accept that it that this might be happening and make myself okay with it But I'm not really okay with it and I know that and I'm trying to just be like I don't want to get ragey Sorry yelling because there's nothing that that's not going to solve anything It nothing's going to be solved like nothing I say or do is going to solve anything right now We just keep moving forward And we cross our fingers and we go damn And then hopefully someday if we do survive this the next time it comes around we're so big That even when they do it we still get this base amount of views at the very very low end That enables us to keep going forward and weather the storm and obviously if we're so big I'm assuming we have enough savings set aside from being so big You know that we could also weather that so multiple reasons But for now That's not that's not reality. Um It's all right spaghetti We all right It was just youtube's little uh Christmas present they dropped it at my doorstep. They're like hey We know you're heading into the christmas weekend Merry christmas Who invited you? Hold on who invited youtube to the christmas party who invited you know no no one asked you to come Who sent the invite? Natu it was you wasn't it because I wasn't wearing my flannel enough you invited youtube to the christmas party damn it I didn't want their present Oh, man I'm gonna check something quick. Um Um I don't want my phone is being so damn slow Watch I'm not live anymore on my internet side when I didn't know it Just add just add to the pile today um Sorry, it's something I was checking Something I didn't expect to arrived till next week, but I was just kind of hoping it landed on friday, but it didn't um Been going a while was wondering if you ever got the past up a gf stuff sent out from last year And the year before also Merry Christmas. Thank you so much. Destiny swap No, there's some stuff is sent out not everything. I still have your stuff. I know On the bright side that stuff will get the sent out quicker I suppose that's a bright side for pgf winners If I if I'm no longer a full-time youtuber and I have a more consistent paycheck from a regular job That would mean the prizes get sent out quicker Uh, what does shadow ban mean? It just means that youtube uh is limiting The viewership of your video I think that's like the simplest terms to put it there. They're limiting There's various ways. They're doing it. Um, but I I don't know What is my biggest fear? Someone kidnapping my children any of them If someone kidnaps one of my kids that That's my biggest fear and then obviously assuming they might be dad or something, but Um, starting with the kidnapping that that's my biggest fear And then when the crazy world we live in that like it's not even like that's a It's not even like that's a fear that just seems way out there Like no kids are being kidnapped every damn day in this country. So Like it's legitimately something that I do worry about So thank you. That that is my biggest fear Why series s and x I don't want to get into that story right now One of them's not mine. So Um What there's a party. I'll meet you at turtle lake casino. Yeah going to the casino right now seems like a really smart idea for me Oh, it's funny Maybe that's how we survive it, right? Here's the deal. Here's what's happening guys. I got it. I know how we can survive it When the youtube check comes in this month You know the three thousand dollar check or whatever it is that I pay most my bills with But before we pay bills We're going to the casino. We're putting it all on black As soon as that hits, we're good for another month, baby As soon as that hits, we're good for another month Yes As soon as that hits obviously Obviously, that's the solution Here's how we survive We put it all on black And then when it hits red You just you just you just sit in the corner Accept that you're f'd and can't even afford the gas to drive home And then slowly every day count down is every service in your house starts to get shut off probably first the internet Uh, then eventually colligan is going to come and rip the water stuff out of my house and the electricity Oh, good shut off And then your your cable services and your tv stuff starts getting shut off your kids are starting to ask Hey daddy, why are we eating nothing but ramen noodles for three meals a day? Hey, kid. Welcome to the poor house. Go get a job Nice, you know, we're evicted and Look, I took a calculated risk It was calculated I put it all on black Yeah, you know, we joke about that You know, there's somebody if they were in a situation where like they were about to lose their job And they didn't know what to do They would literally take their entire next page I can go to the casino and put it all on black or red, right? Like, you know, this is a situation someone would actually do and potentially mess their life up even more You know what I mean Because that because that's the risk the risk is this is either going to go very very well for you and you're going to be super stoked or or It's you're fucked There's there's no if ands or buts about it and that's the one f word you can say Remember PG 13 movies allow one f word You guys got it right there Just saying That's a huge risk. I think we're gonna avoid the casino Being a solution to my problems. There's a reason the casino Is going to survive longer than I will Because the house always wins in the end um The arc of Nate's villain story There's somebody out there that's done that Don't knock the poor man's dinner. Hey, hey, it's not about the poor man's dinner It's breakfast lunch and dinner and I lived off ramen noodles for like two years when I was younger. So I do My kids are very upset if I suddenly had to give them a diet of nothing but ramen noodles um Remind me to tell you the story of my home girl who needed a place to stay and she snuck her boyfriend and dog into my house That's a bit rough I'm assuming there was no permission for that because she had to sneak him in That part of us full every weekend. Hey Help you with some Parking like, yeah. Yeah, the see what erin rath is trying to say is One he's clearly going to the casino every weekend. So good for you. Uh, but two The house may always win, but somebody's walking out of there a winner that day Why not nintendo prime? Why can't it be nintendo prime's time to shine? bet it all on black And then you and then you know what We take this and we take this paycheck. We put it all on black. It hits Now we're at 6k This is sweet sweet Well, shit. We do it again bet it all on black again Why stop at six? Let's just be good for the next few months You know what? We got to cruise the payoff. Let's do it again. It hits We get the 12k. We do it again. We're not done We got to buy ourselves more time So we bet that better all again And then we stop we stop at 24k All black, baby all the way all the way to 24k the funny thing is Someone's probably done that and it's worked out. Of course a lot of other people have done that and hasn't But it's my time to shine, baby They're gonna kick me. They're gonna drag me out of that place Taking too much money from the casino. They're gonna drag me out The security's gonna come. All right, you're done for the night, sir. Hey, hey, hey, not my fault And just for shits and giggles now throw 500 on red. Oh, it's red All right, look statistics. Come on Oh, there it was um But no, obviously that's a very stupid thing to try to do. We're obviously joking around You're not gonna take the entire paycheck you need to pay your bills Run to the casino and literally toss up a prayer It hope it goes your way even though roulette is one of the best Things to actually win on the you you're not tossing up a prayer because if it goes wrong you are In a very I am in a very bad spot My family's in a bad spot because it's not just me that's affected It'd be different if I was the only one affected by it, but no my children are affected So no, but you don't go you don't go make that risk Uh I'll just win the lottery and slip you a good 100k. Well, see no no joce If you really want to be kind You don't slip me 100k if you win the lottery You slip me whatever it takes over 100k for there to be 100k left after I pay taxes on it So you gotta pay taxes on all that stuff because you give me 100k. It might be like 70k in taxes You know what I mean? So we're gonna slip me the Look here's me telling choice. Just give me more money and cover the fees Look you win the lottery you can afford it I'd probably reject it You know what jocey would do though. She won't let me reject it. She'll she'll find a way She'll make like 17 000 youtube accounts and just start maxing out 500 dollar donos back to back to back to back She'll just she won't even care that you can't stop me now. You can't take it back now Oh Because if she tried to slip me it I tried to like slip it right back I I tried to slip it right back Um I don't even try to win a lot like I think the last time the uh power ball got up there We did buy a handful of power ball tickets, but we don't really even do that Because you know the chances of winning are so low So you just throw them on you away But if you if you have a little extra cash and you can afford like five bucks and you want to get a few tickets That's whatever It's not like they're that expensive Anyways, uh jaw will what jaw jaw Jawel Wait, is it jawel loping jeff? I did I get there right? I have no idea. Thank you so much for the 20 merry christmas to you as well Or happy holiday. I mean, I'm assuming obviously, you know for you you celebrate christmas if you're saying christmas. Thank you so much I do appreciate it. Let's uh Let's get a little uh dears blood in for that feels weird saying dears blood I don't know pg-13 but that's why I see it's a deer on the bottle deager the deer on the bottle We'll do a little celebratory shaft and thank you so much Mining youtube views like bitcoin That's hilarious And sincerely thank you guys for the support tonight or today because it's still daytime. Thank you guys I do really appreciate it. It is not expected. Uh, this wasn't even supposed to be a stream today I'll probably stream again tomorrow a little bonus stream after I get a video done And finish my christmas shopping Because I have a couple a few more a few more presents. I need to I need to wrap up the holiday season here Um before sunday when we start having all our family stuff go down um Just reading the ads here Yeah, I I'm I'm shadow band at the moment Hoping that it uh clears out Hoping that it clears out But we'll see We'll see um Pretty sure you should bet on red. Remember you are over three betting against jake. Well, what would jake bet? What would jake bet though? See if jake goes black, then I gotta go whatever jake bets. That's what I should bet Whatever jake bets. I gotta get jake randall to come to the casino with me. What what's he what would he bet? I'll just I'll call him and I'll video call jake randall and hey jake If you were here right now, let me know black or red And watch him go Put it all on green Put it all on zero No black or red No, put it all on zero And then I'd be like no not doing it I put it all on red And then it hits the green zero I would literally cry I would literally cry I would Because that much money on the green zero it if it hit and jake was right The I don't even know what's the return on that I know the return on on it's crazy because it's such a low chance Anyway, let's get this down The arc of nates villain story Okay Am I a swifty? I don't mind taylor swiss music, but that's not like i'm listening to it all the time You know it's one of those like I don't mind her music But I don't I don't actively seek it out and play it So no, I'm I definitely not a swifty because like they actually you know part of their daily playlist But I don't hate her music or anything Ashty boy, you know, you know it gambling's very bad You should be more well to be to be clear You should never go gambling with money you can't afford to lose If you go gambling it should just be for a night of fun with money you don't expect to keep And you're just having fun and and maybe it's at a A resort casino thing where there's other things to do as well And you just accept that hey, I might blow a couple hundred tonight and it is what it is and we're just having fun And you have some drinks and and go go enjoy some other stuff You know, you just it shouldn't really be like you shouldn't be going there expecting to win, you know what I mean, but uh Stop mark. Yeah, obviously if you want to like actually make money stop mark is the way to go But yeah, this was this was just a joking thing about trying to get an instant return You know, it wasn't really because like the stop markets typically not an instant return even on Even on like the hottest of uh stocks you want to try to get get a quick turnaround on Still usually not like a oh put it in and tomorrow you're going to be able to cash out double double back, you know But yeah, no stop markets obviously a lot safer if you're if you're trying to make a gamble um Go gambling with mickey mace dude always slays at casinos. I have no idea who that is He hurt that 20-dollar super chat. Um Joycey will send paul gale over to kick your kick my arse if I don't accept it He's gonna beat it So joey cj is gonna send uh paul gale network over to beat me into submission. Well for starters This is already a hypothetical of joey c winning the lottery, which is a pretty low chance So I'll just assume I'll never need to worry about trying to slip the money back to joey c because it's never gonna happen um I'm I believe more that joey c will end up working at nintendo one day and slipping me some inside info Then then her actually went in the lottery and slipping me money um Lotteries use the generator. Yeah. Well. Yeah, because metro fighter 90. There's so The lotteries obviously end up It's sort of like an extra tax on the poor because the poor are the ones that are most often Um buying the tickets every single day every single week, right? They're the ones doing it Where the rest of us that like, you know, we're not scraping the barrel You know, we don't get involved in it until it's at an astronomical number You know when it starts to get like a bill Then then we're then the people that that you know can actually afford to be doing the lottery Go out and buy lottery tickets Um, but yeah, that that is a widely held belief that it's more like attacks on the poor because the people that keep the Lottering going on a weekly basis are actually the poor people that are just hoping to hit it big Whereas everyone else doesn't get involved like, you know, I like I said, I got last time the lottery got really high You know, we bought a few tickets, but we don't buy every week, you know, like it's But I've seen it. I've literally seen it when I went to buy power I saw people that were like literally counting change like Out of their car to buy lottery tickets and I'm like, man, you're you guys just You shouldn't be buying lottery tickets man. You should be keeping that change You never know when you're gonna, you know, they need a few extra bucks to get to roll the toilet paper like that You know what I mean But what are you gonna do? You can't stop, you know people who are who are that poor from trying to do their hoping they're they're a little hoping pray Hail Mary every single time like you can't stop that like they still have to Make their own choices, you know, but what are you gonna do? Uh rock music then I don't mind rock. Uh more. I like more classic rock And I don't also I'm not really that big in the heavy metal at all Yeah, see natsu gave you the real reason. There you go Andress was like, so what did I do to get shadow man? Nats is like, yeah didn't wear the flannel enough so natsu called youtube up and just Got me nuked. It is what it is Um That's what I do because I never open. Yeah, I look I've been to the casino. You know in my life several times All of it was when I could afford to go so I say I never won You always sweep And I tell you guys this So remember I'm a full-time youtube So we had some savings, right? We had a little bit of savings. Uh full-time youtube Okay, we started last november. We were we were kind of living our savings for a bit hoping my youtube thing might work Uh yulia wasn't working yet And we decided we were so stressed out After christmas We were so stressed out. It was because christmas is such a stressful time as parents on uh december 26th 2023 We went to the casino with a hundred bucks And we said look we can't we really couldn't even afford the hundo because we knew we were dipping into savings to pay for things Uh, but we're like, you know what we just need this. Let's just go Let's do a hundo put it in one machine. What happens happens. We'll we'll leave. We'll maybe go get some lunch after something What we'll leave We put it we put it in this machine and on our second to last bit we were betting five dollars a spin which we never do On our second to last spin it hits games and it's a christmas machine They had like a christmas theme going on It hits games Then in games it hits bonus games and more games and more games Before you know it we had 172 games or something And we just and by the time it was done we won eight grand And i'm not gonna lie that got us through until uh We started hitting with tears of the kingdom So it's sort of ironic we're talking about this when A random lucky win at the casino last year right after christmas Actually enabled my full time youtube thing to go long enough to hit the tears of the kingdom rise So it's almost ironic we're talking about it because it wasn't like we wasn't like a serious risk I was you know fully prepared to go get a job it was just it was hilarious that like oh We're just so stressed. We're just gonna give up this hundo. It is what it is And then boom we hit And it's never happened. I've lost so much money at the casino like in my lifetime I I you know i'm probably negative even after that when i'm probably negative at the casino in my entire lifetime but like that was That was kind of cool. I hadn't been to the casino at that point in like eight months I said It was insane and I literally looked at you. So we can't come back We need to stop we need to get out and get the out. We did we got the hell out of there We were done Like the hell out. We ain't giving them any money back. We're out peace Oh So I that that was kind of funny that that ended up working out but again That that wasn't us risking though like our entire savings and everything that was just we were super stressed And we just needed to get a break from the kids So it was just like a hey, you know, let's just go spend the hundo and Because we thought we'll go into a movie but we needed something to get our minds off it So we needed to go somewhere. We don't go very off is like oh, we'll go here and again it worked So like what are you supposed to say like it? Is what it is But Uh, this stream is gonna be ending soon. I gotta go get my kids ready for bed I gotta make sure the house is clean before yulia gets home Um, I think dinner for myself. I haven't ate since breakfast. So Um, and again, we'll be back out tomorrow yulia works, uh tomorrow as well at her at her job So, uh, outside of the shopping and my kids tomorrow. We're gonna get a video and probably do a bonus stream as well tomorrow But we'll see I have no idea how it's gonna go Or maybe I take the whole day off. I don't know And this whole thing is kind of stressful. So But no, that's the thing you can't let it get to you That's what I was told. I can't let it get to me. I have to keep going forward. I have to pretend There's nothing wrong and just keep going um Max bet and hit every single wild and get a bonus and win 24 All right, Aaron Rass, you might go to the casino a little too much, buddy um Yeah, Nash Weedle did it. Maybe Fami boards did it. Fami boards, you know, they just reported my channel at lunch and Anyways, um I mean, no, I don't do sports betting No, I've I've I've I've literally my life the only time I've ever done anything close to sports betting was fantasy football I'm in some money leagues and stuff, but I don't No, I don't I don't bet on sports. I just watch and enjoy another chaotic individual Yeah, how many people entered I mean 85 people entered for the gift card sweet um You're still recovering after you blew your lungs up Yeah, my lungs are starting to get good. We're starting to get good over here after I didn't blow my lungs up That was when I was sick, but uh my test the other day was uh I'm back to roughly 90% So we can start doing doing some more serious workouts now excited for that Because they the weight loss journey doesn't stop just because I might have to get a different job. That's Reality, I'm gonna lose that weight anyways. I'm doing that for me Michael Michael Julia would like to think I'm doing it for her, but I'm actually doing it for me Michael Lorenz says I've lost more on game machines that I would like to even admit It is what see if you're gonna look look I always say Here here's an e-bagging statement Look if you're just gonna give it to the casino give it to the bank of prime Look if you're just gonna piss it away to to the casino Piss it away to the bank of prime You'll probably have a better time And you won't feel as bad about it Okay, I'm done That's funny Thank you so much for the five dollars though. I do appreciate it and I'll be sure Uh, but right before we I get towards the end of the stream I want to go back through and rethink every single person who's super chatted today I do appreciate it. This was a not a normal stream. So um Do I have a personal trainer for my workouts? I this paul gale count No, I don't I don't have a personal trainer. I have my own little workout thing I'm doing but paul's gonna submit a few things for me to maybe add to it, but No, I'm good It's just gonna be nice to get back into it Even just cardio It'd just be nice to get back into it where I don't feel like I'm gonna die because I can't breathe Pachinko machines because uh pinball mixed with slot machines up in a mad match and hell, yeah, yeah Did casinos always win in the end? Um, yeah, I hope you're okay ash. You've been saying like a lot of really negative things in the chat We got enough negativity today. We're at least I've had enough Let's get some positivity going started charity. Oh gee. Oh my I'm not even willing to like e-bag for myself I'm sorry. I shouldn't laugh. It's such a bad situation. I shouldn't laugh. It's so bad That's what it's so bad. I shouldn't be laughing at it It's not really a laugh. It's really bad. I just I'm over here being like nah, man. I'll just go get another job He's over there. Nah, man. We'll just put the money in a fucking bank and not help anyone for 10 years We're just completely different people that's all Um Because you know what? Nintendo Prime shows up after watching the stream. Hell nah, man. Take the money Yeah, I just walk in they see me rolling They hate oh shit Dude, we saw your stream They're pushing We'd rather we'd rather you do that they come in and take 24k, but none black Um dense fog alert tonight Uh, I don't think we have a fog alert.

Hey come on that song's not pg-13 um Sooner or later, nintendo is going to get a visit from an angry self-entitled political angry lazy parent to nintendo hq Sooner or later nintendo is playing with a bit too much fun. All right. Well, that's not gonna happen and also whoa Let's calm down a little bit Um saying some angry parent is going to run to nintendo And like try to burn the building down. That's a bit insane I'm good. I just gotta say right now. That is not the reality that we live in Uh parents rarely blame nintendo for their kids mistakes but They don't really get that crazy about it Some people like stealing and lying others like not being terrible. Yeah. Well, that that was my point industry star I know you you weren't here. Um Earlier when I was talking about all this like because there were some people that said, hey Why don't you just ask for some community support and ask people to you know Join your patreon and and and just super chat like crazy or you know Do direct donations and have like a fundraising goal and I'm just like because I'm not like that man like dude I have a kid. I am I'm not disabled. I am capable of going out there and working normal jobs I will do that if that's what I have to do. It's not I'm not gonna beg for charity If people just give money because they give money that's cool, but it's not gonna be because I asked for it That's that's basically it Because I I won't I can't That's just not that's just not This is not in my DNA. I made that mistake one time four years ago and I told myself I'll never I will never ask again And I know people have said I have all the justifications in the world and times are different now and now it's your job and blah blah blah People would want to support you so you can keep doing it full time because they love your content And it's like I get it It doesn't it doesn't change my mentality, you know, none of that changes how I'm How I'm built today so Um, this is the parent question. Are you sure about that? I hate that I Are you sure about that? No A shadow band is where you're not actually banned But they are intentionally um Messing with your viewership in very targeted and specific ways That you can track it youtube never admits that shadow banning is a thing Um, I already talked to a youtube rep today. Oh your channel's fine. You're in good standing No explanation for when I showed them what was going on They just said oh, you know All right, we we have an algorithm that runs everything and blah blah blah blah blah And then the guy finally admitted that he has no idea how the algorithm works or how the bot works Um, that it's all ran by computers Well, of course it is so nobody at youtube really knows how youtube functions anymore Is basically what I learned today but Well, it's not about in 2026 our channels will explode. It's not about the what's going on now Here's the thing that would suck Honors switch to let's say they announced it tomorrow. We don't know when they're announcing All right, so let's say they drop the announcement tomorrow be weird. It's a saturday, but I still wouldn't get views Because that's the part that's part with the shadow man. I would be the channel not getting views for it Because my video is not being sent out. It's not being promoted. It's not appearing in searches But you would do well so would many others And that's okay as I said out of all of my content creator friends I am capable of going to work and job like I know like mike odyssey is an example He's got a disability and all this stuff going on really. Hope he makes it full time on youtube someday Um I'm someone that doesn't have to do this. I just want to because I love it. I'm passionate about it It's a this entire last year of my life has been maybe the most enjoyable year of my life Especially from a work perspective waking up every day not hating myself There's a lot of value in that beyond just money So much value to have self-worth But I have responsibilities and that's reality. You have responsibilities. You got to take care of it You can't rely on anyone else to take care of your responsibilities by yourself J2 blue wonder. Hope this helps it. You have the power of the big GOD And nintendo on your side Nintendo's on my side now. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up. Oh, yeah, you dug bowser back on the phone quick What's up dug? Do I'm having this issue with youtube right now. They're kind of being they're kind of being Yeah So how about that sponsorship we talked about like a few months ago? You know how you wanted to sponsor me? All right, then Doug just hung up on me His exact words were Who the are you? How did you get my number? off So That didn't go as planned. Uh, I do not think we'll be getting a nintendo sponsorship Right now I think I just blew that That's what it is Thanks, Doug I appreciate it. I don't know how I got his number to be fair I don't maybe kicking krista slipped it to me I'm gonna slip it to you guys um That's so bad. That's who does that brian doe comment that $2. It's so bad. It's back in my chat again And I'm like god, that's such a nasty comment I It's not it's just I should I should I laugh at it when I know I shouldn't be laughing I shouldn't be laughing at it. It was thank you so much for the the attention. You know, I haven't done a Wine shot of it Should we just take it right out the bottle? this disgusting wine It was free so My parents a hand to me um a champagne and two wines because they said it's gross They're not wrong. It is gross My dad got them for Christmas from his work They're pretty gross I wonder what your manager or your representative could they help you with it? No, you mean my mcn. I reached out to them. They said they'll just try to get me more sponsorships, but I mean, they should be getting me those anyways Oh, you wanted to call on discord on just sorry that I missed that I saw that you just texted me Sorry, sorry. I didn't catch it in the chat Let me uh pull it up. I got you. I got you but what you're calling. Let me uh Bring this volume down a bit bring here. What's up, buddy? Oh, wait, oh Oh, there you Yeah, do you wait? Do you want this to be a public or not? I can mute it I'm not going on camera. I just felt like joining for a few minutes. Okay. Okay I just wanted to make sure you actually want to be publicly I guess I know I can be heard. I can I can be heard. That's why that's why I called your life shaming I would why would I call you that maybe there was an emergency going on? I don't know No, no, I'm just curious why you think your shadow band Like I want to know why Oh Well, I mean why why because I mean there are things going on on my end that maybe I could tell you that may or may not Make you feel better. Um, so I'm just curious Why do you think your shadow band? Oh, it's not a it's not a think at this point. It's a no Okay, why do you by the way, I'll just reiterate I've said this many times think knowing you're just thinking with great confidence So you still think it but anyway Why do you think that or no? with quotes It's extreme confidence based on the conversation I have with youtube, but um studying that conversation aside because I'm not supposed to yeah, what led you what led you to make that to look into To the situation like I'm just curious like is it just numbers being down? It's not and uh having low readerships whatever there can be lots of reasons for that. Um So There is a certain number of notifications that goes out per video Okay, and you can track that we have the numbers we can go look at it as of yesterday That number of notifications going out per video and that doesn't guarantee views. That's why I said you can't look at just views That doesn't tell you anything The number of notifications going up from my videos dropped By 95 percent How do you check that? Good question Good question. I I never look into these things. I just it's a whole explanation on the back out You know, I can probably give you a guide for it I'll just I'll just tell you the numbers have been pretty bad for me Like, you know, but I'm just kind of so there's that. Okay. That's that's the first thing Um, was that happened and I was like, okay, that's very peculiar because that affects a lot of things Because if I'm not the notifications aren't going out I'm not getting views from notifications or hardly any views. I can't say none But significantly lower than usual So then you don't get a boost when that helps you in that first hour for me Because the first hour is everything from my videos. If it doesn't do well in the first hour, it's not going to do well Sure. Um, so I'm very I'm I'm a channel very reliant on the notifications. All right fine That's wasn't the only thing I taught to camel out 331 because he's been quote-unquote shadow banned a few times And he said check your search numbers Well, sure as shit Um, two of my videos weren't popping up in search How do you check that? So you basically Type the exact name of your video In in an incognito tab into youtube not logged in And watch it not be there at all It doesn't even pop up. You can put the name of the youtube channel in Now if you put the name of the youtube channel and you don't come up I would say that'd be pretty bad. Yeah. Now. Here's the thing After talking to the youtube rep. Oh my It was like a half hour later suddenly It's in the it's in the search again um So that prompted me to reach out to to mcn reach out to youtube Um, get the talk to someone an actual human being you know how hard that is Even on twitter. I I swear it's a bot running their account Excuse me. I'm allergic to bullshit. Go on Fuck you Anyways, uh, so the youtube rep we had a conversation. I guess some stuff. I'm I'm not supposed to talk about it, but uh it basically They they admitted that everything's run by the the ai which we already knew Um, the conclusion of the conversation essentially was They don't know what's going on Everything's ran by ai. They don't really know what the ai is doing. They have no answers for me Uh, but we can do this thing and make your channel appear in search again And then they confirmed I wasn't being in search Which means the ai took me out of search So that's why I said like it's basically I know because if the ai if they already looked at it and They themselves saw the ai took me out of search I mean what what else do you call that then? That is odd. Yeah So it Yeah, it's nice that those videos were put back in search Does that mean tomorrow when I drop a video that's going to start in search or is that I mean? I'll tell you that I never not noticed your presence on youtube Yeah, well, so I asked him about that because I said what if I stream about this sort of and he's like Well your most hardcore fervent most common viewers even um when there's issues on youtube will normally still be notified of your videos And I was like Okay I guess that makes sense because because because youtube well I think that I think a lot of that is well, they're interested in keeping people on youtube So like Your most fervent viewers that watch most of your stuff. They're still going to be notified. They're still going to be there Because they don't want them to leave youtube Right. This is more about reaching that expanding. Yeah the expand the the the crowd that never talks to you really But they still tune in for you know half your videos or you know They just drop a lot of people they may not even yeah, some people they may not even subscribe Yeah, but but they're but they regularly click on your videos that pops in their home feed all the time Right. Yeah, those are the people so Anyways, so once I had all that conversation today. It was a huge thing that Washed over me that I'm like, oh my god. I I've had this similar thing happen last year But I wasn't full time. So I didn't really care, right? Like I had suspicions of it I didn't double check with youtube on it Um, but I was like, whatever. I'm not doing this. Well, I have other revenue. It's fine. I don't really care I just thought that was just part of my channel just being shit Um And then it happened in september of 2019 as well Although then I was actually being directly accused of youtube of buying bots, which never happened And they still weren't able to prove it and then in the end they finally admitted. Oh my bad But my bad didn't I don't know that's what youtube jacked three thousand dollars onto my ad revenue So I don't want to get into that But So In this situation, like it's cool. I'm I'm kind of like, you know, and we we had some nice support today Thank you guys so much for your support You know, I'm asking for it, but I appreciate it Look, I'm gonna be fine. My next paycheck is gonna be fine. I'll be able to pay the bills But it's one of those realizations that like if this continues in the january um You know Because I've talked to you about it that like hey, I'm I'm I'm still paycheck to paycheck right now even though I'm full time So If I start january where I'm only making like two bucks on a video every day That ain't gonna take care of my kids. So I got to accept reality that I kind of got to turn that around pretty quickly and go get A job a different job, you know so That's just my reality though because I'm not going to ask people to I realize I have a big enough community and enough people that support me that I could ask and I'm never gonna do that so I'd rather just suck it up and go get a different job So that that that's kind of what I that was what the majority of my day was spent today dealing with and talking to youtube and It's pain in the ass to be honest. Not the conversation I wanted to have today Yeah No, I don't know what's going on on your end either. Like I don't know Obviously, I mean I just assume it's uh Just talking about things that people don't care about sure And and that's the thing I thought maybe it was just like because that's initially I didn't even look at the numbers until today Today's when I looked at them Because I was like, oh, I thought the topics were bad or whatever And then I dropped that Zelda video And then that was doing even worse And like why is this doing so bad? Oh, no, I put I made this out of the video four days ago and it only got 2200 views for me. Which for me is bad That's uh significantly more views than my video is gonna get My my video has uh five views in the last hour And it's not even at a thousand views yet Well, the video uploaded today is my worst performing video in a long time. Well, like literally during this conversation I lost two subscribers. That's cool. Well during this conversation. I just dropped 11 subscribers Really? Legitimately remember chat remember when I showed you when I popped this earlier earlier the stream Now we're down to 707 remember a 718 not too long ago. Nathie, I'm shadow banned It's all right. I I checked in Cognito. I still saw things in search, but Yeah, well, they put me back in it after I talked to him literally he's like oh because they couldn't see me in search Um, I think just I just think uh, I don't know. I I think the holidays, you know people a lot people are busy They may not even be on youtube like See someone said that earlier and then if you go I don't know about your channel But on my channel I go back one December is one of my best performing months viewership wise every single time And I actually get more views this time of year Not less because people are off of school and out of work and They're actually consuming you're also less successful then right so it's different Huh You are less successful then you all but like this this last year your channel has grown significantly like your expectations are No, my um, I I showed it earlier on my stream. My December is literally 40 percent ahead of my november I'm doing really good like overall Not this Are you? Yeah, I'm doing great this month. It's literally just the last 24 hours Oh, well then, I mean, I just think it's a I mean right now. It's bad for me too. I just I don't know Oh, why am I upset because once I got the confirmation of the chat? You don't understand Last time last time this happened. I was it took three months. I can't survive three weeks Let alone three months. All right. Well, I guess what I'm telling you is Let's see what happened how you feel next by this time next week if you make, you know Seven videos at one video per day If you still feel like your shadow band then okay, but I I just feel like it's um You know, we're talking about just like the last 24 hours like a lot can change in a few days I I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying what it is at the moment. Sure. I'm gonna we'll see what happens That's all I literally told people I've loved it. It's just tomorrow and everything's back to normal By the way, it's funny because that wasn't what this stream was the irony here is we were talking about Nintendo news Yeah, it was a completely different thing and then people were like hey to get more viewership You should just like make that the title since it came up and I was like Sure I mean I did click on it when you change the title. Yeah I just sort of allowed it the viewerships up like 60 viewers since I changed the title so Yeah, um, although I was busy so you know now What was the big news? There wasn't big. Why does everyone think it was big news? Because the title said it was no it did not The title the title said oh my What did you say here? I'll go on my discord server quick where I reported up. I'll show it on screen Exactly what the title it was The biggest nintendo news of the week That's pretty big. What's how is the week? It's just recapping the biggest news from the week It didn't say there's a new big story I see Okay. Yeah, the litter says the biggest nintendo news of the week. Is that what are we talking about? I'm trying to see is it's already put it down. Oh, no, there it is. Oh, yeah Wait, there's a stream the biggest nintendo news of the week Yeah Yeah You know what it is though the giant nintendo logo because I didn't know what else to do you you want to know what it is It's that you have established a reputation of when news occurs. You talk about it so I don't live stream it though I never do that. Well, I'm just saying that reputation on top of confirmation buys you want big news, right? You see those two things like oh, there's some big news. What could it be? so Then maybe that I don't know Look, all I know is I'm reading the title and I don't know what's confusing about it I will I mean, here's the thing. I'm the content creator I'm not you're you're talking as a viewer and I'm just like but if you read what it says I don't just not even clickbait. We literally went over the biggest news of the week Oh, it's I didn't call it clickbait No, but you well you came in expecting some massive story and I just I don't really understand I mean you could argue there was It's the biggest news of the week. They can all be big stories Almost the biggest news of the week probably the rumor For the movie. Yeah, the movie stuff. That's probably the biggest stuff this week Well, that's the biggest like it's the biggest maybe It's the biggest maybe Because even even if it was true, it's it was just a pitch, right? We started off with like tears of the kingdom winning some game of the years this week That was one of the things I started off with. I don't even think you made a video I mean you may have talked about one of your videos. I haven't I haven't seen the last couple days But I don't think you even made a video about the the smash rumor The smash rumor the smash the smash movie rumor. Oh, no, I did I did I did Yeah, but it's not it wasn't the headline title. No, it wasn't the headline title and and and that that There's a reason for that because I figured maybe I could double dip on that a different day but I might never turn and then I saw Mike Odyssey today He had something in his thing about a Zelda movie thing and I I couldn't find a source for it So I don't know what he was talking about No, I could reach out to him because he said he wasn't the source. It was somewhere out But I need to link to it or show him something. I don't know what's going on I'll reach out to him and see because I hey, dude, there's Zelda movie stuff. I'll talk about that this week I think I think it was just something like the script is done. It wasn't like a major news, but I don't think people care about movie stuff as much I mean my priors all the movie stuff got got decent views. So I don't know I mean when I say decent, I'm good if it's like five to six k views. I'm cool there Sure, so I mean, is that good? No good good for me is 10 k plus, but Um five to six. I'm I did I'm good like that that's where I live. Yeah It's all right. Yeah, um Joycey j Debate the zelda live action movie versus the nintendo cinematic universe and why it won't work Debate it. Well, we'd have to disagree Do we just um What what what do we disagree on? Well, Joycey j wants us to debate the zelda live action movie versus the nintendo cinematic universe And why it won't work basically Which one which one's not gonna work? I think she's saying that Zelda zelda wouldn't work in the cinematic universe because it's live action I mean, I just think that they just create a different version of link That's that's exactly what I said. They're just gonna make it animated or they'll just have it It'll either either just be an exclusive version for that movie or they'll just make an additional animated show or something I mean think about this think about the spider-man movies there are right now Our different iterations, right? We have an animated spider-man series and we have That's that's why I figured it was the live action will just be independent from this and and with all the You know multi-verse stuff. They kind of reference each other too. Like so I actually do have to go yulia's calling me So oh great. I only want to show up for a few minutes. So well that works out then All right. Well, you have a good night. Yeah, you too. Bye That also means I have to go to all you
