Some things I failed to mention in the video, Etika was one of my biggest reasons to start streaming. I know I cite Vinesauce a lot. And I had watched them for years and considered streaming, but YouTube Gaming seemed new and weird and I didn't wanna move to Twitch. Etika proved to me you can gain a following through YouTube streaming and I finally tried because of him.

Another thing is, the pattern of Etika's mental breakdowns were all too familiar to me. I've had multiple friends who had the same kinda problem, and I've even dealt with it a little. Never to the point where it was suicidal but, the cycle of getting too stressed and then having a breakdown, then the stress of that breakdown leading to the next, creating a very frequent pattern, is very familiar.

I'm no psychologist. That's just what I think happened here. That's why I got so pissed off at the people saying he was faking it because it goes to show how little is known about this kinda stuff and how uneducated people are.

If you ever need someone to talk to personally about this kinda thing, my DMs on Twitter are always open. I'm probably not the best person to go to, but if it helps, I'll help. https://twitter.com/sleepydev_
