Deeply saddened by the assassination of Charlie Kirk. America has lost an incredible soul and courageous defender. I didn't know Charlie personally but his videos and great ability to have civil debates has been guiding me for some time now. He has been an inspiration to millions, and to the people who hate him and celebrate his loss - all I can say is that you didn't know him. You only knew a version of him that was sold to you so you can continue to be locked in the cult like beliefs that you're suffocating in.
To trade ideas, and debate is an inherently American value. I know this because it was a value I have learned as an outsider who wasn't born here. Where I come from, shouting each other down, using hierarchy, using your class or station, using age, and even force to suppress and judge ideas are culturally acceptable. I was amazed to see in America that the source of the ideas were irrelevant; all that mattered were the quality of the ideas themselves. That is an incredibly powerful cultural value, and we should do all in our power to preserve it.
Hi friends, sorry for disappearing from YouTube for such a long time. I owe you all an apology and some explanation.
To be honest, I have been growing disillusioned with the platform for sometime. It has changed quite a bit since I started making content. In the past, content used to be heavily promoted to subscribers making it possible for me to make videos about a wide range of topics. This changed in 2024, when the topic and specifically the topical nature of the topic became far more important to the content being promoted to the audience. Who the audience member is subscribed to became nearly irrelevant when it comes to recommendations. This is very similar to the TikTok model.
This meant I had to niche down my channel or start commenting on the topics of the day (which I'm not particularly good at). Overall, I just became really burnt out, and decided to take a break.
In my time away I have, however, been working on a project that I'm really excited about. I will share more details closer to a release date, but, in the meantime, know that I am well, and I will definitely be back on YouTube (though I'm not sure what future content will look like).
I appreciate the people who reached out to me via Twitter, email, and even asked YouTube to check on me. Though it was alarming to get an "Are you okay?" note from YT, I am grateful for the care, and I realized I was so silly not to tell you what was going on behind the scenes. Just know that I appreciate you all every much! ❤️
All the best,
Sincerely, Manisha
P.S. FYI, if you want to keep up with me, I do tweet occasionally!
Have you noticed how nudity is everywhere? We women keep being told that it's empowering. That we should revel in the attention that our body gets us, and own our sexuality.
But is nudity a good thing? Good for women, good for the men watching?
I break this subject down in my next video while embracing my 1880s granny ways on modesty. Video coming on Tuesday!
04:00 am - California time 06:00 am - Austin time 07:00 am - New York time 12:00 pm - London time 04:30 pm - India time 9:00 pm - Sydney time
