Penta asked if I was okay earlier and I figured you should all read this if you're wondering what's been going on with me!

​​@Pentaduodecagon Everything is good, the formula I had for the channel just wasn't going to work anymore so its back to the drawing board!

You guys know that I was making significant changes in my life planning to make YouTube my primary job since my YouTube Studio was showing I'd be making well over $2k on my first month monetized and I was loving streaming!

Well... I've made 0 dollars from YouTube because Google Adsense decided my channel's traffic was invalid even though my YouTube analytics accounted for over 95% of the traffic coming into the channel. I haven't even received a dollar from donations, memberships, or gifts yet either

As you all know, I managed to get my channel re-monetized, but ever since the hiatus I took from having to get surgery, burning out on Hollow Knight, all other games I tried Failing to pull in viewership, and being paid $0 while expecting what my YouTube analytics was showing for all the work I had done the previous 2 months, moral has been low to say the least and I took December off YouTube to focus on my mindset and try to make ends meet with my responsibilities outside YT.

I'm still debating if I should make a video about all this or not, I haven't given up, I just need to switch up the approach while balancing adulting despite the sudden loss of expected revenue!

Me, Angie, and my brother Angel are all okay, we have a roof over our heads, good food, and good family. We are blessed so there's no need to worry!

Hey guys! I've been playing a lot of PoE2 update with Angie! Its been great!

After having been demonetized, having to appeal successfully to be monetized again, and the time I took off for the surgery, the algorithm hasn't been so nice to thr channel

I'm giving it time so it hopefully resets and I will be back uploading videos first and then streaming soon after! :)

I'm revamping my approach with the channel guys, no more 7 day streams until we build a larger community of subscribers through longform content and shorts and find a new good niche!

I will stream tomorrow and a few more days weekly though, just not 7 days a week anymore until we build up some more momentum! 🤙

Hey Guys, I'm considering streaming some games I enjoy playing like Path Of Exile 2 with Angie, and some other scary/horror games, but I need to know how many of you would unsub if the games were not PG/Teen Rated
