"I was looking through my history today and found two donations from 2024—one for $1 and one for $4 from two women in this community. You might think those are small amounts, but they stayed with me because they were given unconditionally, at a time when I wasn't even eligible for ad pay.
It made me realize something: I've been so focused on hitting my $100 monetization threshold lately that I started acting like a robot, reading generic scripts just to survive. I think I lost the 'soul' that made many of you follow me back when I made music videos.
I need to hit that $100 goal to keep this channel alive, but I don't want to do it by being a robot. I want to do it by being the same guy who made those music videos—just older, wiser, and finally speaking to you in English. No more generic summaries. Let's get back to the real stories."
