Transcripts
okay so I'm going to try to avoid the
classic youtubery uh BS that often
happens in videos like this uh I don't
exactly know what I'm titling the video
but whatever it is it's uh it's not
clickbait I am taking a bit of a
break as some of you have probably seen
I've been uh really changing the
direction of the channel and working on
this new style of content uh this more
uh kind of conversational pseudo essay
talking head kind of content uh and I've
really been enjoying it I think the
quality is awesome and it's definitely a
Direction I want to continue to go with
the channel um however I think I need to
take a step back for a little bit you
know there's a a bit of rebranding and
things that I need to take into
consideration for the content uh but
beyond that to be honest uh I'm just
dealing with a lot of personal
right now and it's been a lot uh I hate
making this video because I'm going to
be honest the fact that I feel like I
need to do that makes me feel like I've
failed you guys and failed a little bit
here but I'm trying not to look at it as
a failure I'm trying to look at it as uh
a necessity uh because uh I could keep
trying to force myself forward but uh I
think that'll just lead to uh more
burnout and
potentially uh worse
outcomes on certain things so yeah so I
got to I got to take a step back back
for a little bit I don't know how long
it'll be for if I'm being honest Al
really try not to edit this video but
I've had to pause in between uh I don't
know how long it's going to be for uh it
could be two weeks it could be two
months uh I don't know if I'm being
honest for those who might be
disappointed with some of that news
who've been uh supporters of me for a
while uh the Discord community and stuff
is going to be still be there and I
don't want you to think about this like
I'm going away I want you to think about
this like uh I'm investing in myself for
a little bit and I it is something that
I need to do for the channel itself to
improve if that makes sense so yeah not
clickbait I'm going to be gone for a
little while
I will probably still be online a little
bit maybe on like Twitter and stuff uh
like I said in the Discord I'll still
kind of post in there from from time to
time and who knows maybe I'll
post some random BS or something at some
point I don't know but I'm I'm just not
putting any expectation on any of those
things uh at all for a little
while
i' I haven't even been able to look at
the camera for most of this that's super
weird uh okay anyway uh yeah that's uh
it's going to be it for this um again
thank you for all of you who have
supported me as much as you have this
far uh in my YouTube journey and I want
you to understand it's not
over uh it's just taking a pause but it
I'll be back before you know it
