I see each and every video I've made as something special.
For a brief moment (a couple of months), I considered neglecting it
to the point I seriously set the video as unlisted.
Alas, I could not bring myself to carry that out
for more than a day.
My memory is honestly pretty shit but I can definitely remember
the thought process behind this.
I'm pretty sure I saw the original comic on twitter and immediately
texted a good friend (it was good for a while, then shit happened),
telling him how I'd do a piss-poor voice-over job
and upload it to youtube.
The problem was: I never had a single good experience with
any desktop microphone.
I think I've been on a laptop lifestyle since I was 12, and I swear
they all sound like garbage. So I used my phone's microphone.
THAT right there is the reason the video sounds trashier.
I believe I forgot to do some extra tinkering / fixing to the audio
but I'd constantly stop myself and say "are you seriously putting
effort into this? Stop that."
It couldn't have taken longer than an hour before the thing
was up on youtube. I sent it to my friend. I'm guessing he liked
it. I felt accomplished for about five seconds, slowly forgetting
what I put out there.
Now, I could try and bullshit my way through saying I remember
when the comment notifications started to spill, or when a dozen
new people subscribed to the channel (for no reason).
All I can say is that I uploaded two more shitpost videos
after this: one at the end of April
and another at the end of May.
A few days later, on June, something motivated me to give the
channel a chance for something better, something I could enjoy
way more than riding the too on the nose Matragrano-esque
wannabe, Jixaw-thumbnail imaginary train.
The answer for that was talking about weird crap,
feeling inspired by Fredrik Knudsen's style, and to an extent,
his way of talking.
Anyway, that's a bit of a tangent now.
WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY ABOUT THIS CRAP?
For starters, it obviously attracted people I can only describe as
"sad", spending part of their day performing the strange art
of shitting upon those they deem as inferior.
Some of them would dish out slurs. Some of them attempted to mask
their words behind some kind of irony veil.
I saw that as inappropriate behavior, and began to take action
by purging clearly inflammatory comments and replies (only for
an hour or so every other week, since it was quite tiresome
to read so much negative garbage).
I remember Goreshit leaving a comment there, too, asking "where
his money was" (the song at the end belongs to him).
While I don't know if he was merely jesting or actually asking
in a serious way, I sincerely apologize,
but I've never monetized a video in my entire life.
I don't plan on doing so right now.
And I also don't think I'll monetize in the near or far future.
One other thing I want to mention, and this is something that
I found out only a handful of months ago:
the artist of the comic, ammonyaa, ended up moving to
Telegram, apparently, while the @ on twitter was (also apparently)
taken by a rather distinct individual. #sarcasm #rollmyeyes.
Either way, this is mind-numbingly long, so I'll cease right here.
I'm still shocked the video was viewed 3 million times.
