2022-8-15 Official Retirement from youtube (Facebook)

[0:00 - 1:33] [ Pause ]
[1:33 - 1:55] What's up, bro? So, as many of you guys know, I started my journey to YouTube back in 2009.
[1:55 - 2:12] But due to everything that I've been through, I am officially announcing that once I get my brand new setup, I will not be on YouTube.
[2:12 - 2:28] I have no desire to go back to YouTube.
[2:28 - 2:41] At all, I have no desire to do so. Hey, hon, thank you. I'm back.
[2:41 - 2:49] Instead of being on YouTube, I will be on here and on Twitch starting within the next few days.
[2:49 - 2:57] Once I get my brand new setup, I will be streaming directly to Twitch and on here.
[2:57 - 3:08] So, I will not be on YouTube anymore. I will be on Instagram, I will be on Twitter, I will be on here, and I will be on Twitch, and that is it.
[3:08 - 3:27] I have no desire to go back over to YouTube where I was going for the last four to five years at all.
[3:27 - 3:37] Hey, Friday, what up? But there is something very important that I want to show you guys.
[3:37 - 4:01] This pic right here was given to me on May 1, 2009 by my best friend and bassist for the band Elixir, David Stone King, who unfortunately lost his life due to a drowning accident.
[4:01 - 4:13] This pic right here is literally my most prized possession, hands down.
[4:13 - 4:25] It's because of David that I'm here today. David is the whole fucking reason why I got into music in the very first place.
[4:25 - 4:33] He is responsible for my entire career. Everything I've done has been because of him.
[4:33 - 4:56] And with his birthday coming up shortly around the corner, I wanted to honor him in the best way that he would have wanted by playing the very last song that he ever got to record with his band right before his passing.
[4:56 - 5:02] So David, if you're watching, man, this one's for you, bro. This song is called Pathetic.
[5:03 - 16:26] It's called Pathetic.
[16:52 - 16:54] Hey, Hannah, thank you.
[16:54 - 16:56] And I appreciate about the shirt.
[16:56 - 16:58] Yes, I am not a rooftop fan.
[16:58 - 17:00] Yes, I'm a frickin' otaku.
[17:00 - 17:02] Yes, I'm a weave.
[17:02 - 17:04] Yes, I'm an anime nerd.
[17:04 - 18:25] Let's see how many of you guys remember this.
[18:25 - 20:55] [MUSIC]
[20:55 - 21:17] How many of you guys remember that one from back in the day?
[21:17 - 21:37] [MUSIC]
[21:37 - 21:40] Let's see.
[21:40 - 21:44] Oh, by the way, this next one is going on to all the people out there.
[21:44 - 21:51] Like my girlfriend, Freddy, who fucking worked their ass off on anything they fucking do.
[21:51 - 28:19] [MUSIC]
[28:19 - 28:23] This one right here is going out to one of my best friends in the world.
[28:23 - 28:26] This one right here is going out to my friend Jenny.
[28:26 - 28:29] So Jenny, if you watch this, this one's for you.
[28:29 - 32:54] [MUSIC]
[32:54 - 32:57] Now I want to do something that I've not done yet for you guys.
[32:57 - 32:59] I think you guys might enjoy it.
[32:59 - 33:03] I've done a lot of covers, but I've never done anything like this for anybody.
[33:03 - 39:11] [MUSIC]
[39:11 - 39:19] I will not be on YouTube at all.
[39:19 - 39:23] I will be on a very few different platforms.
[39:23 - 39:38] And in fact, I actually am going to be moving away from the music side of things and more focusing on the gaming side of things.
[39:38 - 39:55] More specifically focusing on games like Fortnite, getting into professional drift comps via car X drift racing and Forza Horizon 5 and 4 and other stuff like that.
[39:55 - 40:05] Now, that's not to say I'm not going to be doing music because I am.
[40:05 - 40:23] But when I do get my brand new set up, I am actually going to be sitting down and working on publishing my very own art book for you guys to purchase.
[40:23 - 40:31] Which I'm actually very, very excited about.
[40:31 - 40:33] This book is going to mean a lot to me.
[40:33 - 40:42] It's going to have, you know, it's definitely going to be very emotionally driven.
[40:42 - 40:47] It's going to be very dark, very weird.
[40:47 - 40:55] But hopefully it's art work that will make people think and it will put things into perspective.
[40:55 - 41:07] And it's something that I've been wanting to do for a very, very long time now that I'm honestly excited to be working on.
[41:07 - 41:22] This is something I've been wanting to do for over the last five years now and now that I am away from everything, I can sit down and work on it.
[41:22 - 41:37] But as I said before I did those few songs, I have no intentions on going back to YouTube ever again.
[41:37 - 41:54] Maybe one day in the very distant future when everything settles down, then I might.
[41:54 - 42:03] But I want nothing to do with the troll community.
[42:03 - 42:08] The troll community is a freaking joke.
[42:08 - 42:29] And it's ruined lives including mine.
[42:29 - 42:35] And I don't want that for anybody or myself.
[42:35 - 42:40] Now I know I mentioned that I will be doing music and I will be.
[42:40 - 42:56] But I'm going to be pushing my music aside for a very long time to create stuff for people and sell music that way.
[42:56 - 43:10] But until then, I am actually also taking a very long break from doing music as well and focusing on having a normal life.
[43:10 - 43:26] And if anybody out there doesn't like it, then I'm sorry. And I'm sorry if I upset anybody by me not going back to YouTube, but I'm doing what's right for me.
[43:26 - 43:38] I'm looking after myself. I'm looking after my friends and my family and my loved ones.
[43:38 - 43:46] And I know people are probably going to be like, "Oh, well, you're weak, you're this, you're that." No, I'm not.
[43:46 - 43:55] I want absolutely nothing to do with the troll community.
[43:55 - 44:01] I want absolutely nothing to do with it. I'm done with it.
[44:01 - 44:12] I want no connection to it. I want no ties to it.
[44:12 - 44:23] Which is why starting tomorrow, I'm going to be doing gaming streams again straight up.
[44:23 - 44:32] I'm going to be doing gaming streams full blown starting either tomorrow, which is Wednesday or Thursday.
[44:32 - 44:37] It's going to be when I get my new set up.
[44:37 - 44:58] I am not, and I mean am not, going back to YouTube ever again.
[44:58 - 45:08] I have no desire to go back. I have no want or need to go back to YouTube at all, period.
[45:08 - 45:16] I have no need, no desire. I want nothing to do. If you ask me, YouTube is dead to me.
[45:16 - 45:24] The only thing YouTube is good for is watching anime and checking up on my favorite YouTubers that I've been watching for years.
[45:24 - 45:36] And that's it. Or, you know, movies that I enjoy.
[45:36 - 45:44] But other than that, I am not going back to YouTube at all.
[45:44 - 45:54] And I don't care if somebody posts this up on YouTube. I do not care. I am not going back to YouTube at all.
[45:54 - 46:08] I don't care what anybody says. I don't care who says what. I'm not going back to that person because I want to be the best version of myself that I can be.
[46:08 - 46:16] I want to be the me that I was five years ago.
[46:16 - 46:28] I'm done fighting a senseless war. I'm done dealing with high school bullshit. I'm 31. I'm going to be 32 next month.
[46:28 - 46:42] I don't have time for this shit. I don't have a want for it. I don't have a need for it.
[46:42 - 47:11] But what I do know is this. Everybody that follows the troll life is doomed to fail.
[47:11 - 47:24] For five years, I've dealt with being trolled. And I'm done.
[47:24 - 47:34] All you trolls out there that see this on YouTube, you can sit there and say that you won, that you got me, that you did this, that I don't care.
[47:34 - 47:42] I don't care. Say what you want. Say whatever you want. I don't care.
[47:42 - 47:56] I'm going back to living my life in peace. I'm going back to living my life in peace.
[47:56 - 48:04] I am done with YouTube. I am done with being trolled.
[48:04 - 48:24] And more importantly to the trolls, I'm done with all of you. I'm done.
[48:24 - 48:32] Now with that being said, I'm going to sit down and enjoy a movie and hang out with my friends like Hannah and Friday.
[48:32 - 48:38] So yeah. With that being said, I'm out of here guys.
[48:38 - 48:45] To the people that do watch me on here, to all my friends and family, I want you to know that I love you guys.
[48:45 - 48:52] You guys are awesome. You guys are amazing. I fucking love you guys.
[48:52 - 49:10] And starting, well today now, but starting here in four hours or so, I can promise you guys this for sure.
[49:10 - 49:16] And you guys can hold me to it.
[49:16 - 49:25] No more negatives. No more being negative. No more trolls. I'm done.
[49:25 - 49:31] I want to put good content out for you guys. I really do.
[49:31 - 49:40] I want to put the best content I can for you guys out there on here and on Twitch.
[49:40 - 49:51] So starting tomorrow, I am not, I am not dealing with the troll shit. I'm done. I'm tired.
[49:51 - 50:00] So to the trolls, you can say you want all you want. I don't care anymore.
[50:00 - 50:17] I really and truly do not care what you say or what you think anymore.
[50:17 - 50:36] Because I have nothing to prove to anyone. I don't need to prove anything to anybody.
[50:36 - 50:48] I'm done trying to prove myself to people that don't, I don't need to prove shit to.
[50:48 - 50:56] I love you guys. I love y'all. Peace.
