welcome back and in today's video another update video I know you guys are
probably getting tired of those but I just feel like I want to take the
opportunity to just be grateful because I just it's that's I feel a little bit
emotional from the support that I get from you guys over the years and it's a
stormy night right now I don't know if you can hear it but it's just real chill
chill and I just wanted to get my emotions out here and just kind of talk
about a couple things update is is the claims on my videos
from onision have been removed YouTube let me know and that's a that's a W
another false claim by stuff but but the did I just start yeah I know the false
claim bites the dust and this is great great news but the fight is not over for
people still will abuse the system and though the system is glitched and and
it's got a lot wrong with it and it motivates a lot of us a lot of the time
our voice is the most powerful thing that we have as long as we keep using
that we can at least keep others at a harm's way since I started this channel
that's what my main priority has been like C well we have a lot of new people
here so I guess I'll I guess I'll talk about a little bit about me and if
you're new here welcome to the risk right if you're new
here emoji in chat if you're new here you gotta say something in the comments
section actually after this video is released I will heart every single
comment just like I used to when I first started even if it takes me all night
I'm gonna do that I hear the lightning and the Thunder out
there but we've got some holidays coming up as you can see the spiderwebs are on
the microphone and I got to put little spotters on there and I'm gonna put some
spider webs on the foam panels behind me and then we got Thanksgivings gonna be
great Christmas coming up got a lot of good content plan for that we're going
to start doing the live streams again I know I keep saying that but I just feel
like we're going to I was under a lot of pressure because these claims were gonna
hit my channel I think I was going to take two strikes but I was prepared to
do that I was fully prepared to take those strikes take it to court if it
needed to be I'm glad that it didn't escalate glad it didn't go that way and
ended a little bit more peacefully but
I'm just really super grateful for you guys's support and how good you've been
to me how good this community the rep squad has been to me since I've started

man there really aren't words to tell you guys exactly how I feel about being
able to do what I love here on on the internet making videos for you guys
being able to do this full-time just being able to do what I love being able
to do stuff that it works like it helps you as well
um it means a lot I started YouTube February 26 2017 that this one I really
started I posted videos before that but you know it's like you do videos and
then just like well you're just doing it you don't know anything about it so
nothing ever comes from it but I got real serious about it I guess you could
say got real serious about it it was like February 26 2017 I started
uploading because I had severe depression severe anxiety panic real bad
still got it but it's it's manageable now but back then it was like so severe
because I the New Year's the night of I was on the cell phone I was talking with
my friends and I was walking on the sidewalk in Chattanooga infer
Chattanooga High School you're from Chattanooga Tennessee then you know what
high school I'm talking about it right there before the bridges I was walking
talking on the phone car comes up nowhere I didn't even see the car slams
into me runs me over messes me up real bad we had to go through therapy it was
it was real bad broken it was messed up pretty bad and the depression was real
because it completely flipped my life upside down and no I don't think you
guys understand how I had went to college I was in a career and then you
get hit by a car it almost kills you and then when you're out of there your brain
is not working right anymore you don't your brain is damaged so you eat I
couldn't do what I went to college for I couldn't even do the job that I was
doing it's just emotional to think like I started this thing because the doctor
told me he was like you like making videos so make videos
since you can't walk right now make the videos and it might help you and I was
like ok so that's what I did and then it developed into this it's crazy so when I
first started making videos I wasn't serious about I was just doing what you
know anything that interested me I would make videos about it and I started
talking about it and I would do that and then as I healed and my brain got better
and things got more comfortable I had an audience a community the rep squad you
guys came so I decided well I really want to double down on this I want to
make this I want to perfect this and then when I started being real serious
about it it was like the growth it was I almost overnight lit quite literally it
took me one year to get 10,000 subscribers and then that next year I
shot straight to 100,000 and here we are nine 27 2019 and we're still growing at
a phenomenal rate you you know there's been ups there's been downs we've made
mistakes we've learned from them we've moved forward we'd never stopped
progressing and that's what it's about so I just wanted to take the time to
talk to you guys like do this like I said do this warm one thank you for
