@@lostworldofjj Yes. So it changed. Originally, Aaron was considered "Public". This is like Tom Cruise, Nancy Cartwright, etc. Public Scientologists pay money to move up the "bridge to total freedom". It costs around $500,000-$750,000 in COURSE COSTS ALONE to become OTVIII (OT8), which is the highest level a Scientologist can get. OTIII is the secret level they learn about Xenu, Aliens, Volcanos, Hydrogen bombs, Alien souls, etc. Go watch the South Park episde Trapped In A Closet, it's DEAD ON ACCURATE, though a Scientologist below OTIII won't know anything about it. Anyway, I say $500K + in course work because it would be IMPOSSIBLE for someone of Aaron's wealth to not donate as well. Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson) has donated $21,000,000. Aaron most assured has dropped more than million...easily. Ok, so what changed? 2 years+ years ago, Aaron committed himself to Scientology SeaOrg. This is where you sign a Billion Year contract (no joke) and most SeaOrg members make $47 a week after taxes and work 100+ hours a week, they take their passports away, some locations have guards and razor wire fences. Depending on where you work, you literally have to escape to leave (Valerie Haney hid in a trunk of an Actor's car to escape). So over 2 years ago, David Miscavige created a new course for Sr. Management and for the last 2 years, Aaron has been studying 10s of hours per day everyday to pass this course. This is why he hasn't been around or seen much. Recently, Aaron passed this program and David Miscavige appointed Aaron the Executive Director of the San Francisco Ideal Org. Repeat after me....There is 0 chance Aaron can be the Executive Director AND run Braille. ZERO. He is working mega hours and his job is get the stats up for the org and recruit new members. You can NOT do this, and remain public. It's simply not possible. Scientology is a cult and Aaron is now Sr. Management in the cult. His literal job will be directing all the SeaOrg members that have been human trafficked and use them to run the SF Org. Hope that helps explain it more clearly. The bottom line....Nigel and the rest should just start their own "BRAILLE".

10 mil just off views. But my dude, Braille was the biggest thing in skateboarding for a hard minute. Branding, and toy deals with Amazon, and Wal-Mart, pushing numbers that would make Powell envious. Can't maintain rent on a warehouse? Dude, WAY smaller channels have warehouses that big. Just looking at it surface level, the problem is obviously money mismanagement. You don't even have to get into any details, or theorize about it in any way. And Braille/Aaron didn't even try to fund raise to save anything. When, I have no doubt, they could probably raise enough to cover the warehouse for a year in ONE live stream event. That said, I'm not as mad at Aaron as some people (justly) are. I pity the dude, because I have some idea that he's probably not actually completely lying about basically being broke, he's just lying about why, and in that, even though he's basically victimized a lot of people, he himself is also probably a victim of the cult he's gotten himself involved with.

@chrismeeks77073 ай бұрын
Is it just me or when you see him bringing in someone like Gabe Cruz, (who wasn’t really immersed in skateboarding, he was just a kid learning how to skateboard.), is that because he wants more control and the way he was treating his employees wouldn’t really go down with people already sponsored by other companies? just a thought. It just seems like his manipulation level was super high so I see a hidden agenda behind a lot of decisions that were made looking back on it now.

Funny how Aaron talks about wanting to help kids learn to skate and keep the industry alive, but instead of donating all of those boards to local kids and giving them out at skate parks (which would make _excellent_ YT content) he is literally just throwing it away. _WHAT A GUY!_

I have a pretty good judge of character and can usually tell who's a fake rat and who's genuinely a good person and I got complete fake vibes from Aaron.

I will say Aaron hasn’t mentioned Scientology ever in a Braille video that I know of. He does deserve some credit for keeping it separate from Braille but then again it’s probably because he knows people view it negatively and the Braille channel would’ve been dead years ago if he tried to bring Scientology into the channel in any way.

That was aaron talking about being forced to pay the rent on the warehouse until Oct. 2026 if it wasn't cleared out by July 5th. This always seemed odd to me everytime he mentioned needing to be out by July 5th, I am not a lawyer nor live in Cali, but I don't think you can be forced into a multi year lease just by not being out by a certain date, to my knowledge there is always an option to not pay or leave and then an eviction/removal legal process that would give some longer period of time for them to leave. Point being, in all situations there should have been an opportunity to notify crew and for crew and fans to have a "last session" at the braillehouse.

This has really shattered me to bits, not too long ago I had commented on one of Braille's videos about how I was starting to learn again and how they had been a huge inspiration to me and Braille actually responded positively, they encouraged me and it really lifted my spirits so I naively dreamed of visiting the Braille House after skating for a year or two. Now seeing how it's all come crashing down and how Aaron is treating everyone and where all the money has actually gone.. Idk I feel a bit crushed from it and I'm not even a part of the Braille team, I can't even imagine how the guy's and crew that were really holding up the channel are feeling.
