The Dragons Treasure

My vid on Disney's Wish crossed 800,000 views last night, very nice.

Considering youtube/video content creation has been a side project, I've racked up quite the impressive amount of successes on it.

Unfortunately, with my 300k view vid on solo leveling being taken down, what seems like an endless array of channels being deleted by youtube's Ai (even safe million+ subbed channels), and the ever increasing problem of broken algorithms, over the top clickbait, and bottomless pits of slop after slop after slop, I don't really know what my future on the platform is.

Its not that I don't want to make content, per se. But I've grown a bit tired of putting my heart and soul in vids that barely crack 1k views while lesser tier videos soar, and knowing it can all be taken away at the drop of a hat for no reason at all is demoralizing to the point if paralyzing.

It's a shame. I think my content is good, some of the best you'll find on whatever subject I cover. It's not even necessarily about the money, as my 4 hour vid on dragon ball, made over the course of 5 years and completely demonetized, can attest. But I can't even get recognition lol. Making vids that end up in a void, with the chance of them being obliterated even from that void, is a bit much...

There should have been a new video out this week, but it is delayed. The reason: cat distribution system. Neighbors found this poor little guy abandoned in a box, so they gave it to me and I've been taking care of him. Also why no livestream last week. Luckily the topic I wanted to cover is still relevant, so I'll do it this Wednesday.

Anyway, say hi to lil baby Wukong

To those who don't know yet, I got a copyright strike on my Solo Leveling video on Wednesday. That's why I didn't upload a video like how I intended on Friday about the shift of this channel. The vid was nearing 300,000 views, and I am quite livid about the whole ordeal. The next step would be to start a legal process, and I can't really afford to do that against Sony right now.

This also means no livestream this Wednesday, so next content will be Thursday unfortunately.

Need to give vid update. It was set to release this week, but unfortunately there is 1-2 min in the video where, under normal circumstances, it would be viewed as a politically neutral point. But with what's happened this week, it would not be viewed like that.

So to avoid horrible timing, it is pushed back to next week.

I haven't properly been updating on YT, apologies, so here's the update. Finished recording new vid, will NOT be another 40-60 min video, more like 15-20 lol. Putting lots of effort into it this week, hope to get it done by Friday, but no promises.

The reason it's been so slow is cause a lot has been happening, on both ends. I got a new kitten last month, and shortly after my other cat unexpectedly passed away, so I've been a bit of an emotional wreck. Been doing a lot of business work and trying to set up some REAL big moves, but unfortunately while some numbers make me look like a business god (Grok said you have a less than 1% chance to make as much money as I have investing with the amount I started with), the ones lenders ask for don't look good for the algorithms. Trying what I can. Any Working Capital loans I get I pay off in half the estimated time, but after over 6 years of doing this, Shopify doesn't care and won't offer me more.

The final thing is I've chosen to start prioritizing my health above the business and YT channel. So that's caused a bit of a backup. But enough of that, back to work on the vid I go. MUI goku pic unrelated.

Recovering from sickness, but unless I get worse tomorrow, the Miyamoto Musashi video should be up on Friday. It'll be finished and uploaded sometime Thursday, where it will become available for the appropriate level Members, and our discord Dragon's Wings folk.

Pic unrelated and is just there to grab your attention. Did it work?

Various updates, I added 7 new emotes to the YT members section, Musashi video is >1/3rd of the way done, will try to do a weekly livestream, Tea Time With Teaman. Am looking to further improve livestreams and members perks. Feedback wanted and appreciated.

I will be at Anime Matsuri next week, Saturday only, not as a booth this time but as an average joe walking around. If u see me feel free to say hi, I'll either be wearing a Dragon's Treasure T Shirt or one of my Saiyan shirts.

Store side, 2 new teas, and the holiday teas are available for the month of July. Keeping it short so I can go back to work. Thank you all for your support. While I've crawled out of the hole I was stuck in, now I need to fill that hole up or risk falling into it again, which is very much a possibility. I'm thankful for all the support out there, as I'm still quite the poor teaman, just not as destitute as before lol.

I know it's been a while since I have given an update on the Musashi video, but I think I'm not going to include the new book I got in the vid. It's trying to paint it's own narrative instead of giving a historical view, and I caught it trying to claim something as pretty obvious BS as absolute fact.

The only part that REALLY annoys me is, because of this, I STILL don't know if the tale of Musashi having an illegitimate child that died as a toddler is legit or not. And it's going to personally drive me crazy. I guess I'll include SOMETHING in the video that says it was a possibility. But I really don't like ambiguity for something like this.

Pic unrelated.

As a heads up, tomorrow's livestream rescheduled to next week, things happened and I can't stream.

For the YT only people who aren't aware, I should keep you up to date. There will be a Q&A livestream this Thursday. The reason being, I suppose a short version, lotsa things happened on Twitter, and my store blew up in sales, we're talking like take a slow sales month, add 50% to it, and that's how many sales I got in a week. So I'll be doing a Q&A for all the new frens who don't know anything about who The Teaman is or what The Dragon's Treasure is all about.

Needless to say, I'm swamped and behind, lol. But this also means I'm not on the cusp of financial ruination, so folks should be happy about that. That'll also mean I can't focus on YT for a couple weeks, apologies for that. Take this cute girl as a token of my apology.
