If you were wondering why I’d suddenly decided to start pushing memberships, patreon, superchats and twitch stuff, now you know why. Normally I wouldn’t go into the details of my private life outside of some ADHD stuff, but I wanted to at least put this out there so people understand what’s going on. A few months ago I found out I was being made redundant and at the end of the year I’ll be out of a job. I won’t divulge too much about it. I have savings, and I’ll be looking for a new job in the new year. I decided pretty quick that I’d take a break to re-evaluate my options and my career direction in January, as my job has been fairly stressful and I think trying to go straight into a new job would just be too much when I have this opportunity to take some time for myself. This was around the same time that I started to have some real success with the channel as well. Not enough to be a full time thing, but enough that I feel like there’s a real chance I could make more of this channel. My concern has always been that KZbin as a main income is not stable, and I still feel that. But with taking some time off, you’ll likely be seeing more of the videos and streams in January at least to see what I can make of it. If it doesn’t work out, no problem, I’ll find a job and continue to do the channel as I have been, but I think it’d be daft of me not to at least give this channel a shot now that the opportunity has been thrust upon me. If you like what I do and want to support me, the best thing to do, as always, is likecommentsubscribe all that good youtube stuff, join me on my streams to hang out, join the discord and share my stuff with people who you think might like it. That has always been the best way to do things, and rest assured that I won’t be locking stuff that was previously free behind any paywalls, any incentives will be additional, but you may see more sponsorships if I get any more good ones, but I’ll try and make those ads at least entertaining. I got a sponsorship offer for a hair dryer once. A hair dryer for a bald animated avatar. Wild. If you do want to support me financially, and you are under no obligation to do so, then you can become a member on youtube, or a patreon patron, or a twitch sub, or throw some superchat/bits on streams. Links are in the description of videos. There are incentives for the membership stuff if that is something you want to look into, or if you just want to support me that’d be massively appreciated. I’m under no illusions that this kind of financial stuff will be stable, and I’ll be working on other avenues that will hopefully give more stability, but any support, financially or not, means the absolute world to me to allow me to do what I love, which is making daft videos about how I’m bad at everything lmao. Anyway, that’s what’s going on with me. Let me know if you have any ideas for fun videos or streams I can do when I’ve got more free time or the kinds of things you’d like to see or if you have any questions. I’ll continue to make videos that I hope people find entertaining. Thanks for all the support for these past 2+ years. It truly does mean a lot to me and makes me happy to know that people enjoy what I do and want to keep watching. Cheers! Paul

That literally was the start of my November - we just had to rehome one of our cats due to behavioral issues (new cat bearing up our old cat) and that was a horrible feeling, then my wife was told her job was being made redundant on December 31st so I totally sympathize, Paul! The only silver lining is my wife has gotten more of a sense of how valuable her skills are to prospective employers already but I will be very glad to be putting this November behind us too. Best of luck, Paul!
