Happy new year everybody! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break. Longish post incoming, I do love to yap.
You'll notice I didn't upload a video this month, this is not because of any major problems or issues with regards to me or the channel, I simply had the epihpany that I'm my own boss for this whole thing and I can kind of take a break without a major sense of guilt or FOMO, which is pretty cool I won't lie.
This has had the unforseen benefit of giving me the mental breathing room to ideate a bit on the channel's direction in the medium-short term so do look out for some particularly silly videos in the coming months, I'm very happy with what I've come up with and I hope you'll enjoy the slight shift away from pure mathematic/mechanics based Pokemon content (I have literally run out of ideas on that front. I thought I ran out like half way through last year but I'm like OUT out now. Suggestions welcome in the comments, twitter DMs, semaphore, smoke signals etc)
In other news we're coming up on the channel's 2nd Birthday and entering the third year of video production this week, which is very exciting. It has got me thinking about something I'd mentioned in the past and have been asked about multiple times, which is starting a Discord server. You may know I've been fairly hesitant to start one before, mostly due to concerns over parasociality, and also moderation to some degree. I think now I'm much more happy to take ownership and accountability if anything does go wrong in that regard, because I think that's necessary when trying to foster a Community.
This isn't something I have any experience in so it might take a while, but watch this space!
Also here's a poll for engagement. What was your favourite video of mine I did last year? Mine was the National Pokemon video, expect more stuff in that direction this coming year.
