hi. it's been a while since I've uploaded (youtube will almost certainly bury this video because of that, but, this is probably a good thing), for multiple reasons, but the important ones are
a) fearing both my videos' spread outside the ""community"" and, importantly, weirdos finding / harassing the people in them.
in fact, this very person has ALREADY had this experience. previously, ive omitted names (and other normal search terms related to the people in the videos) from titles / descriptions / tags / comments, but i need to be more aggressive about it.
all future videos will be age restricted. feel free to subscribe (...serious) if you want to watch them, because from what i know about youtube, they'll essentially not be showing up in your recommendations again. leaving this one unrestricted in the hopes the message gets across (there is also genuinely not much worse i could do; see above paragraph)
and overlays will be covered and identifying stuff will be muted wherever i see / hear it
b) a combination of a sour experience with """the forum""" and *life* at the time of my last upload has severely decreased my motivation; to interact with the ""community"", to make finds, to compile other ppl's (side note, ive always pointed out when ive done this in the description)... i haven't opened discord in the last 4 months and haven't read a youtube comment on the channel in probably as long. considering slapping a bunch of banned words on the channel and leaving it at that
ty to all the nice people
i will probably not be uploading ~once a week from now on
