20,000 Subscriber Milestone complete! Still pretty modest, but this still puts the channel safely in the top 3%. This was considerably easier than the first 10,000, let alone the first 1K. Let's get to 30K and beyond at an even faster pace!

LMFAO. So because of 15 seconds of meme music by Warner Bros Record label, my last video was temporarily demonetized over night and was blocked in Russia and Belarus (lolz). Wasn't a big deal, they let me replace the song and now it's getting ads again. I'm not mad... I just find it hilarious at this point.

Another day and another instance of YouTube screwing over small creators with its sloppy content notice policy. Despite passing the claims checks during the uploading process, YouTube decided to immediately switch the video to limited ad revenue after the premiere was over which means my work will hardly be compensated. This is all after a bogus content strike which won't be removed till late late December. This is all the while there are plenty of real instances of harassment and illegal activity on this site that get a pass. The way this website continues to mismanage its content and copywrite claim system in a guilty until proven innocent manner is infuriating. While, I won't make much from this video, please hype it anyway, so I can be justly compensated more in for future videos as my audience grows.

Cheers

After a major setback, Eru Ilúvatar has sent me back to Earth to continue my mission. A New Video will be dropped tomorrow (unless there are any other bogus notices). Stay tuned

IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT: My latest video "Hasan Piker: The Curse of Halal Ham" was taken down over night without warning due to a Content Claim for supposed "Harassment and cyberbullying". This is despite the fact, that my video condemns bigotry against Muslims as people and only takes on terr0rists, extremists and their apologists like Hasan Piker. Keep in mind that I'm a person of Middle Eastern origin who was talking about a serious issue of radicalization within our diaspora community, a community which I care about.

Furthermore, the point in the video which is supposedly engaging in malicious behavior is 1:16:36, at the very end of the video where there is nothing more than a empty screen. Did the empty rectangle offend anyone? While I cannot prove this was done will ill intent, I suspect, this may have been due to a mass flagging campaign from Hasan's supporters as I did receive a disproportionate number of hate comments right beforehand at night. If true, they would rather silence somebody than deal with their ideas and arguments. In other words, they are using the complaints about bullying, to bully a small creator into silence. I am frustrated, but not surprised. Perhaps, I should take it as a compliment as I am now big enough and capable enough to be a threat to their ideas.

I am going to either appeal the decision or reupload a more toned down version of the video. I will give you all a heads up. This sucks, because I spent 2 weeks making the video and I really wanted to focus on creating part 2 and then set up polls for other unrelated subjects to cover on this channel next month.

In the meantime, I'd really appreciate if you spread the word of my channel to larger content creators who have been the target of this same mob. Perhaps, Lonerbox, Hutch, Conduit, MorePegasus, Sensetive Society, Kraut and many others. I've gained a small yet loyal and amazing audience who keep me going even though headaches and setbacks like these. You all, are the reason why I continue making content in-spite of all the issues.

In the meantime, while I work on my next project, I think it is wise that I create a backup channel and an X.com account, among others just incase.

Hasan and Co, if you want to play this game. Go ahead. You messed with the wrong wizard. Perhaps, you never heard of the Streisand effect.

Rally the Banners! I aim to upload the "Curse of the Halal Ham" on Sunday Morning 9:00 AM, September 20th EST (lest there be any last minute copywrite issues). This is my most ambitious video yet as it had to be broken down into 2 parts, and the first part is still over an hour long. It covers the most bizarre radicalization pipeline you have never heard of, and as far as I can tell, this will be the first channel to dedicate an entire video to the subject. To my loyal recurring viewers, I request that you save at least one weekly hype for the video.

Looking forward to sharing it all with you.

A new video will drop tomorrow at noon EST. Sorry for the delay. A "Real job" Plus the scope creep of writing of 4 Scripts at once will do that to you. Looking forward to sharing it all with you.

Hey Everyone. So due to a BS (in my opinion) copywrite claim by the Associated Press - UK, my last video got demonetized so I had to remove 17 seconds of video (including my own commentary over the footage- YT's mechanism is trash and doesn't allow you to keep your own audio over the copywrite segment). For this reason, I made some edits, corrected some minor mistakes and will re-upload the video on Saturday at 9:30 AM EST. Let's see how it works, as I found the numbers on the original upload to be a bit underwhelming. Please watch, like and hype it if you can as it helps out a small creator.

Aside from that, I plan on uploading a new original video "The Curse of the Halal Ham" on Wednesday September 2nd 9:30 EST. Stay Tuned.
Cheers

Hello, to the small yet much apreciated group of people who watch my content. I am rebranding to the Wizard of Wit as my previous name "Normal Planet" was already taken". I want to focus more on better written video essays and mini-documentaries. I will finish off posting my old videos till the 20th of Oct and then switch to my new series on the history of the internet.

Best wishes
