Glad he is finally blowing up and the algorithm is taking notice! Usually happens around 200k-300k. He was stuck at less than 200k for a long long time, but Stephen persevered and put in the work and people finally started recognizing his immense talent and the algorithm started moving its infernal wheels and the masses have finally begun to converge! Congratulations Stephen! The years of grinding paid off! Here’s to a million more subs! You deserve it!

[@disqusmacabre6246]

Jordan, You captured my feelings as well with respect to LH. And because LH has persevered, he will be able, from a financial perspective, to continue producing this content. We all win when this happens. Like you, I am delighted LH has had this success, as this will mean he'll be able to develop his already substantial storytelling skills (really story presenting / story communicating skills) even further. I would like to believe that LH's talents in this area are recognized broadly and not just by me. Your post helps confirm this. Thank you and thanks to LH as well.

I totally agree love the way it was done 👍

[@tonywilliamson-bruscaglia3070]

The author has a really fantastic style of writing. The character and narrative has fantastic personality, genuinely eerie and funny at times. There was a moment he described a place in the lighthouse as smelling sad and that just stopped me. Great. And you narrated this story absolutely fantastically, really drawing me into the character. Sold me 100%.

[@ravnmavn]

😂😂😂 really? This story was hella disjointed. I thought the author was lost in his own story😂

[@tonywilliamson-bruscaglia3070]

Nah, I quite enjoyed it. The character himself was clear, no pointless repetitions or silly turns of phrase and when the text becomes more loose or disjointed it feels like it is deliberately going along with the character becoming a shambles. It’s emotionally quite strong and the protagonist is actually compelling. I respect your opinion though, I wanted to give the narrator and author some nice feedback.

[@jeffunderhill5809]

Ya it was an amazing story and story telling as well.

[@tracioday3778]

​@@ravnmavnNo offense, I find it rather difficult to take your criticism seriously when you use the word "hella" to convey how much you dislike the author's writing style. 😂😂 Words you could have used instead: "immensely"- disjointed "Incredibly" - disjointed "Rather" - disjointed "Unbelievably" - disjointed...... The list could go on and on, however, I'm sure you get my point. Again, no offense intended! Hope you have a hella good day! 😊

you have no idea how much this channel means to me. It LITERALLY helps me stay healthy. I don't sleep well without listening to something. TV, audio books, ect because my mind doesn't stop. It will latch onto a song or a phrase or a sound and replay it on repeat if it doesn't have something else to focus on. (Imagine hearing only the first 4 lines of the Spongebob SquarePants theme for 4 hours straight and then thats close to what its like) Your channel, the stories, your voice, help me sleep and dream of things that arnt repetitive audio-torture. So, thank you for your hard work in this channel. It means a lot. (I may fall asleep during your stories, but I always go back and listen again the next night, I think each one of your vidoe has at least 20 views from me and I am happy to add to that count)

[@CyndirMyLuv]

I am so with you, I've currently got a line from Disney Hercules in my brain, all of two lines 😂😂😂. I've got major insomnia issues that I didn't understand until looking at some sleep disorders. I don't have a normal Circadian rhythm. Most normal ppl know to go to sleep at night when their bodies tell them to. I don't have that and can stay up for 2-3 days, currently on hr 30 something. For some real scary types of insomnia, look up DSPD, delayed sleep phase disorder. One of the horrible things is that you're not affected by any sleep aids until your body is ready to go down. So I can take all the Ambien, Benadryl, Lunesta, etc and I won't feel a thing. I am lucky in that I am no longer working. That was most stressful, trying to sleep and you have to get up in 2hr for work. So I wish y'all luck in battling your insomnia demons and get some good rest. 😊😴😴

I have to tell you, in the past I could never go along with anyone's narration and get totally bummed knowing I was missing out. I found you a couple of months ago and now I can't stop listening, you have the perfect voice for narration. You know when to emphasize and not but most of all your voice is soothing. I tried others and I couldn't focus on the story bc of the voice, it was either too raspy, too high, something or another. Please don't ever stop and we won't stop listening.

There are many job opportunities up here. It depends on what you are looking for. As for myself, I work for DHS at the airport. There are many federal jobs here, state jobs. Carpenters, experienced landscapers, construction/road work/heavy equipment operators. There is also the North Slope (Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay, etc) in the winter, the people that can drive those huge plow trucks make real good money too. There is also the State Troopers. DHS (whom I work for) are always hiring up here (if you're interested in a federal job). I could go on and on :)
