okay, the channel has two billion overall views you know i gotta do it...here he is the biggest
douche of the universe i can already collectively hear you guys punching my face through the screen
it's all jokes i did that at a billion overall views and now we're at two billion overall views
on the channel no joke two billion overall views is just such a ridiculous number like what is that
what are you guys doing why why watch me i don't i was basically speechless when i recorded the one
billion views video and i'm in the same boat you know i literally wake up every single day
thinking about youtube what video i'm gonna make next basically working 24/7 on the best content
i can possibly make for you guys but none of that [ __ ] matters at all if there's no one around to
watch it so thank you guys so [ __ ] much for this insane achievement of hitting 2 billion overall
views i owe every single bit of this milestone to you guys for subscribing to the channel liking the
videos helping support me in any way possible whether you're just watching the videos and
telling me to you know go eat a giraffe toenail 2 billion overall views is absolutely ridiculous i
can't fathom that right next to this number of two billion seven hundred and ten thousand two
hundred and fifty five views is the date that i joined youtube which was april 22nd 2009. i
started the M3RKMUS1C channel on that day with the idea of making random guitar tutorials and
guitar related videos like i had quite possibly the worst upload schedule in existence like
dude i would record like five videos in one day have them all edited and uploaded and ready
and then i'd be gone for months surfing with the alien music cover i had no damn clue what i was
doing man but all i knew is that i loved what i was doing that held true back then and it still
holds true today for quite some time now you guys have put me in a position where i get to wake up
every single day and work my dream job for me that's pretty much a debt that i feel like i
can never repay and the best way that i can do it is trying to make you guys the best videos i can
on a regular basis too which by the way i know i haven't talked about it too much i used to like
plug my upload schedule all the time but it is still tuesday thursday and saturday minus sunday
still roughly at 3 p.m eastern time as the story goes i did two semesters at berklee college of
music but i ultimately ended up stepping away from that because i wanted to pursue making youtube
videos when i first started going to college i had 25,000 subscribers and when i left i was over
100,000 subscribers and i knew if i just kept working at it i could turn this thing into like
a full-time job i was 100 on my grind because i wanted to do my passion full-time i wanted to make
it a reality but once again none of that means [ __ ] if you don't have the community and the
people to support you and actually get you to that point so yeah without dragging out this video for
too long again thank you guys so much for all the amazing support over all the years whether you're
someone who's been watching since 2009 or maybe you just subscribed yesterday thank you so much as
far as it goes for current and upcoming plants you know i'm still basically doing the same [ __ ] but
i'm also trying to incorporate youtube shorts but as far as it goes for the second and third
channels nerd plays and music i really need to step up my game my main focus for the last couple
of years has definitely just been focusing on the main channel but i want to be able to try
to get some more content out on those channels as well who knows maybe i'll finally finish playing
and recording the cold war campaign i played the caught online campaign first i played and recorded
that entire campaign before even uploading one cold war campaign video gg go star for eric
that's kind of sad i also never made goodbye modern warfare and now we're getting to that
point where it's gonna be goodbye black ops cold war so i've got two big projects there and as far
as it goes for the music channel i have all kinds of ideas but sometimes i feel like i don't always
have the motivation or the drive to actually get all this content made youtube has gotten and grown
to the point where so many full-time youtubers just have someone else editing their videos and
stuff and i mean like i get it at times it can be really [ __ ] difficult to try to do content
creation full-time and still have a life outside of youtube or whatever you're doing whether it's
twitch doesn't matter i know from first-hand experience that sometimes you have to give
up and sacrifice so much in order to make this kind of thing work that being said i'm still a
one-man show on youtube you know i'm sitting here recording and editing the videos for different
campaign videos on nerd plays though kayrina has actually helped with the editing which is
really awesome and obviously if you guys have been watching the channel for any length of time you
know i have a certain editing style i like things a certain way and i just don't think i can give
up that creative control you know like i want the videos to look a certain way flow a certain
way and clearly you guys must like it because we have two billion overall views that's just
[ __ ] crazy but again i'm not gonna drag out this video for longer than i need to so again
thank you guys so much for the amazing support on the channel over all the years thank you for
two billion overall views i'm gonna continue to work my ass off to entertain you guys get
you guys regular content and hopefully we can hit three billion overall views at some point and with
that being said i really do hope you guys enjoyed this video if you guys did and you're excited for
more new videos soon make sure to drop a like i'll see you guys later two billion dude what
the f that's two billion with nine zeroes i don't need it i don't need it i don't need a diamond
