Why I'm stepping back from YouTube | Plans for 2022
35While I will be making and releasing new videos in 2022, I won't be committing to making at least one per month, and I will be closing my Discord and Patreon, effective immediately.
Why? To be perfectly honest, as much as I enjoy the creative process and positive energy of making videos, YouTube as a platform - especially its analytics - can be a negative influence on me.
This video discusses how I intend to find a balance going forwards, how I want to make YouTube serve me, not the other way around. This is unscripted, unedited, just straight to camera about how I feel. I hope you can respect my decisions.
