Bit of a weird update: about a month ago I started a YouTube channel in Japanese, mostly as an experiment. A friend pushed me to try since my Japanese is good enough to hold deep conversations and get my ideas across.
Well… four weeks later that “experiment” is sitting at almost 5,000 subs. Every video has hit, basically just me ranting about how we’re screwed in the States and how the rich sold us out, and for whatever reason, it’s really resonating.
Now, here’s the thing: I never wanted to turn into one of those “language YouTubers” (that lane always felt fake and lame to me), so I’m not planning to mix that community with mainline Tantris. But the Japanese audience seems to actually get what I’m saying, so I’m forced to think about where this might go.
The tricky part is: not enough people there speak English to bridge it with my western supporters, so it’s like running two parallel worlds. Kind of a big deal, but I don’t know what the right move is.
So I’ll throw it to you guys.. any ideas, thoughts, or impressions? That’s also why this month has been quieter, but I'm gonna get back on it pretty soon, I think I have an idea of what to do next.
Tantris Humble
