I like making my videos as concise as possible, but YouTube’s ad system heavily incentivises longer ones. Sometimes that makes sense, but I don’t want to start stretching my videos out with a load of nonsense.
So I’m starting a Patreon to hopefully help balance the scales a bit.
I’m not planning to put a huge amount of bonus content on there, but I have put up an initial “thrilling” text post on something I’ve noticed about Tesco store names.
If you can't use Patreon but would still like to support the videos, I've also turned on YouTube membership. YouTube takes a 30% cut of this but it’s still very much appreciated!
My new year's resolution for 2025 was to start a series called The Small Questions and see if I could build any kind of audience. I was hopeful that by the end of the year, I might have a few thousand people watching.
To have hit 100,000 subscribers in less than two months is unbelievable.
To be honest, I'm still working out how to do this. Almost every video, I'm trying some new way of telling the story. And I'm still getting used to talking to a camera, which is pretty hard as it turns out!
But I'm loving every second of it and I have a bunch of videos in the pipeline that I can't wait for you to see.

No video this Monday I'm afraid! I need some time to catch up after 2 long videos in a row + the illness in Carlisle.
See you on Monday 9th!
