😟 Reflecting on a Month-Long Break and Content Shift
The creator explains their unusual decision to take a month off from daily content creation. Over the past two years, they've maintained a 97% posting accuracy, so this break was a big departure. They reflect on how their content started to feel negative and left viewers feeling uncomfortable, although that wasn’t their intention. Despite aiming to uncover wisdom and truths, the short format (under 60 seconds) often led to misunderstandings. The creator admits that their message lacked clarity, especially since their ideas were often drawn from deep research and complex thoughts, which were difficult to condense into short videos. They also realize it's unfair to expect their audience to grasp these concepts in the same way they do.
🤯 Criticism-Driven Content and Its Destructive Impact
The creator acknowledges that their brand and channel have been built on constant criticism, which has become the norm for political commentators. By fueling anger and anxiety in audiences, creators keep viewers emotionally engaged. However, this approach has harmful consequences, particularly in the context of political and social manipulation, such as revelations that commentators like Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and others are funded by Russia. The creator expresses guilt about contributing to this division and recognizes that constantly criticizing the world aligns with the goals of adversarial countries like Russia and China. These nations exploit division and distrust to weaken the U.S. from within.
🧠 Rethinking Content: A Commitment to Creation Over Criticism
The creator poses four introspective questions to the audience, asking if their content has caused negative emotions like sadness, anxiety, or anger, and whether it has made them happy. Realizing that their content often evokes negative feelings, the creator decides to stop contributing to this problem. They emphasize that it’s easy to criticize but much harder to create solutions and artistic content that fosters hope and positivity. From now on, their channel will prioritize creation over destruction, focusing on sincere, constructive messages. The creator rejects the notion that conflict and chaos are inevitable and instead believes in a better future built on creativity and critical thinking.
😌 A New Chapter: Authentic, Free Content and No Manipulation
The creator reassures the audience that while some may find their future content 'soft' or unappealing, they believe most viewers will stay because of a deeper connection. They announce that they will no longer sell products within their organic content, except for offering free trainings. The creator stresses transparency, making it clear that these free trainings will lead into sales funnels, but insists that the products they offer will always be of higher quality than competitors' paid offerings. They encourage viewers to never feel pressured to buy, emphasizing that they don't want to manipulate or exploit anyone financially.
🤝 Ethical Brand Collaborations and Rejecting Exploitation
Moving forward, the creator plans to engage in brand collaborations, but only with companies that align with the values of their community. They refuse to work with exploitative brands like online gambling companies and vow to avoid tactics used by other influencers who prioritize profits over integrity. The creator plans to seek input from their audience on which brands they would like to see collaborations with, aiming to partner with companies that genuinely bring value to their followers. They see this approach as a way to prove that communities like theirs can be profitable for businesses without compromising values.
🤝 A Call to Action: Building a Positive Future Together
The creator concludes by urging their audience to join them in a commitment to stop endless criticism and instead focus on building solutions. They emphasize that many people online already engage in relentless negativity, but the creator believes it’s time to channel the collective energy into creating something better. They envision a future where their content inspires hope and a positive outlook on the future, especially for Americans. They invite viewers to embrace this new chapter together, focusing on constructive, forward-thinking ideas that will improve individual lives and the broader society.

Transcripts
you may have noticed I Disappeared for a
month now this is unusual for me because
over the past 2 years I've posted daily
with 97% accuracy so for me to take a
full 30 days off is very off-the-wall
but I had to put things in perspective
because the truth is I realized
something about my content my content
started to feel bad and I know you know
what I mean you'd sit and watch me for
20 to 30 seconds and by the end of it
you'd feel like you'd need a shower feel
dirty kind of disgusting and angry after
listening to what I had to show you
however I wasn't trying to be gross
because believe it or not none of the
content I've ever created has been
created for the sole purpose of being
incendiary with every single piece of
content I've ever produced the goal has
been to try and uncover some truth some
piece of wisdom in order to push the
world farther in the direction of
something stronger longer lasting but
when it comes down to it my content
doesn't generally come across this way
because I'm a shorts content creator my
content is limited to the amount of time
the algorithm gives me 60 seconds or
less and while I knew that some level of
misunder understanding of my content was
inevitable because of this time
constraint I didn't know just how little
Clarity I was actually communicating
with because on my end of things on a
given week I might be in the middle of a
book on on the founding of Singapore as
well as a biography on den xaing and
from these books I may come up with 10
to 20 content ideas that I can pair with
things happening today on X that work
together as a whole cohesive idea but
because each idea is bite-sized and is
separated from the overall idea as a
whole Not only would you have to consume
all 28 reels of mine each week to get a
full idea of what I'm actually trying to
say Not only would you have to be
reading the exact same books as I am but
you'd have to connect the dots in the
exact same way as I do based on my own
personal experience in my life now I
don't say any of this to Virtue signal
that I'm some Ultra intelligent goon I
say this because I've realized that it's
unfair of me to assume that anyone would
be able to reasonably understand where
I'm coming from when I'm speaking with
such a lack of clarity and context
however this isn't the only problem with
my content my channel my entire brand
has been built on criticism 99% of
everything I have ever done on
anti-profile online every single
political commentator today has built a
career on criticism because the only way
to have something interesting to say
about politics upwards of two three
three four times a day that keeps
audiences coming back and keeps them
emotionally addicted to your words is to
make them angry anxious and scared by
constantly shoving down their throat the
idea that the world has gone to [ __ ] and
there's no saving it I can no longer go
down this route and continue creating
this type of content especially in the
context of the revelations about Tim P
Dave Rubin Benny Johnson and Lauren
Southern being funded by Russia I
realized constantly talk talking about
what's wrong and making my neighbors
angry anxious and depressed with my
content is exactly what an adversary
like Russia and China wants because
Russia and China don't fund content
creators who they agree with they fund
content creators who sow division
through endless criticism of the United
States because they understand that the
citizens of the United States when they
lose trust in one another they will
destroy their country from the inside
out now I want you to ask yourself four
questions number one has my content over
the past year and a half made you feel
sad as it made you feel anxious as it
made you feel angry and if you can
really push yourself for it can you
think of more than three times that my
content made you happy you and I know
the answer to all four of these
questions so as a result I'm done I
refuse to continue being part of this
problem it's too easy to endlessly
criticize the world around us but you
know what's a lot harder than endlessly
criticizing creation real artistic
Solutions oriented creation because real
creation takes work it takes creativity
it takes critical thinking it requires
operating from a worldview that declares
that yes a better future is indeed
possible that a third world war and a
Civil War aren't inevitable or necessary
in order to move our society into a new
age so from this day forward you will
never see another piece of content on my
channel that values irony over sincerity
moving forward you will never see me
focus on criticism and destruction over
creation now there's a chance that you
may find my content moving forward to be
incredibly soy and cucked and you'll be
like nah and this ain't for me and
that's okay but honestly in my heart of
hearts I don't think that you'll leave I
think you saw a light in me that I
didn't even see before so if you're
choosing to stick around into this new
chapter thank you and I really really
look forward to seeing what you think
now all this being said there is one
more order of business here and that is
me selling products moving forward I
will never sell anything to you ever
again in my organic content that I post
online moving forward when it comes to
my products I will only ever mention
free trainings in my organic content on
social media now you're no dummy you
know how the internet works and you know
that if someone offers a free training
and you opt into it this will put you
into a sales funnel however I really
want to drive home two things here
number one any free training or product
I produce will always be held to a
standard of being better than someone
else's paid product before I release it
number two if you ever check out one of
my free products or trainings you never
have to buy anything from me and I never
ever want you to spend your last dollar
on me because the truth is I don't want
to trick or manipulate anyone into
buying my products because I don't need
to as an example let's take Peak 21 a
program like this stands on its own two
feet because of the hundreds and
hundreds of positive testimonials it has
gotten from being open just 3 months
when products are this good you can just
be up front with people and say hey I'm
selling this you want to buy it great if
not also totally great instead of
resorting to fake Guru tactics to try
and scare and manipulate people into
buying immediately that's not the way
that I like to do business so again the
only products of mine I will mention in
my organic content moving forward will
be awesome free [ __ ] you can have for
free and you can make your own decisions
about what you want to do from there now
something you may see on the channel
moving forward are brand collaborations
and there are two directions we can go
with this option one is nuking every
single brand collaboration I do to
infinity or we can comport ourselves
with dignity in order to show that
communities like this that value
exceptionalism wisdom Beauty and honesty
are indeed profitable places for
companies to do business now this being
said I will never sell you up the river
to some shady online game gambling
company or pull a jake Tran on you where
I for you out to the highest bidder and
in fact I'm going to be consistently
putting out feelers to you guys to see
what kind of brand collaborations you
actually want to see me doing and that
you feel like bring actual value to you
here on the channel because I believe
very strongly in partnering with
companies who have ad dollars to spend
to engage with communities like the one
we've built here because I believe that
this is one of the only ways consumers
can actually unw vcy advertisers by
showing advertisers that they don't need
to avoid people like us like the plague
and that we're not broke we're not angry
and we're not the losers that woke
Corporate America tries to paint us out
to be so I think this gets everything
out of the way at the end of the day I
am incredibly excited for this new era
so put up your pinky with mine and let's
make a commitment to each other you and
me it's time to stop endlessly
criticizing everything around us there
are enough people online doing exactly
that instead let's build something
together let's actually solve the
problems in front of us and Channel all
of this rage this energy that's built up
in us from Doom scrolling over the last
10 years into something that betters not
just our individual lives and the lives
of our families but brings forth a
vision of the future that makes us
excited to be Americans again because
that will be my commitment to you
