I was honestly a huge fan of your content back then and loved how it evolved then with regular uploads, right next to Rebel Taxi and Jaltoid being my top favs, and seeing you first appear on the podcast was super exciting for me. I think because of your frequent to regular showings on the PPP, it most likely transitioned most of your audience to Pan and to keep up with you on Twitter and on the podcast, so with that in mind I think a hard reboot would be fine in terms of restarting an audience, most subscribers from your channel and Pan’s would most certainly sub to a new one so I can see that not being an issue at all tbh. Can’t wait to see more content from you though! I always loved hearing your commentary and personal thought process on a drawing in WMD, as well as your review type vids for SU and that Peanuts/Digimon review, as well as the Rayquest, Drawcast and In-Betweens podcasts were all fun to listen to

I'd say. I get the need to delete everything. I'm not trans but personally I have made a huge change with in myself the past two years and looking back at old me is almost like look at someone else. But the thought came to me that the you in the past was still you at heart. So deleting it would erase the fact about how far you have come. And boy or girl your content and hard work is what made those videos great. So do whatcha need too. But I think you should keep the vids :)

Starting from scratch on YouTube is awful; no sense in throwing away the subscriber base and audience that you already worked hard to build. Especially if you're going to make your older videos private, I think it's the best of both worlds! That being said, I would definitely convert as a subscriber to a new channel if that's what you decide!

Honestly I wouldn't mind a hard reboot not only to gauge accurately on who will be active in your channel but to help transition (pun intended) into the new style of videos that you'll be uploading, as also it would seem appropriate in general. But whatever you do, I'll support you 100%😊👍

As a trans person I totally get wanting to separate yourself from the past but you're Izzy ethier way. I'd say keep this channel and reboot it to be more like you however do what makes you most comfortable ♡ I'd totally sub to another Izzy channel.

this way the old content is still there for people who want it but you can still focus on the new stuff without seeing it

I’m more up for a soft reboot since I still watch your content from when you were Stev, but I’d still be fine with whatever majority rules.

Hey Fam!
I've been getting asked to start Youtube again. It's a bit tricky. I don't really want to be associated with my old videos because I'm a boy in 90% of them. But I completely understand (and happy) that you all love them and may want to be able to go back to them. Part of me wants to start a new channel, new me, new gender, new life, hard reboot, but it's been suggested I unlist every video and start fresh here instead with a soft reboot. I'm usually a do or die girl. But currently looking for feedback.
Would you move to the new channel?
When I return I will be doing a new version of Watch Me Draw videos that will have a new format style but will feature fan-art (of the subject or of me) as well as commentary tracks over catchy music. I can't do the old format due to Youtube's algorithm. But it'll be like a mini-podcast with each drawing with me talking about what I think of the show/game that I'm drawing in the video, art theory and why I drew things a certain way and talking about technique.
I may start an In-Between Podcast, which would be bi-weekly and be recording between recordings of the Pizza Party Podcast. And while I biting off of Pan's stick, I may make review/editorial thought pieces once a month similar to Pan's videos but without you know without the desperation tones.
Ultimately I do miss Youtube, I do miss you. Both choices come with its own challenges. In the meantime, I am very active on Twitter (@ArtistIzzy) and I am a regular cast member on RebelTaxi's Pizza Party Podcast. Can't wait to hear your thoughts about this!
