Continuing to follow the Story of YouTube vs. Everybody always leaves me wondering how much of the mess it keeps spraying everywhere is a result of malice or the endless market it created that competes with everything at the same time.

It all stems from YouTubes founding principle, which goes all the way down to the roots of the internet - it tries to include everybody and everything.

Watching you always consciously steer your evolution as a person and creator is my favorite thing on YouTube.

I still remember Jess’ video way back talking about the ridiculous scope of influence you’ve had. Creating YT genres out of whole cloth. Your hoof prints still visible in analysis channels who’ve never even heard of you.

I’ve been happy to go along with each arc. And even though I know there is real pain, exhaustion, and struggle on the other side of all this, I’m just excited for you nee-chan.

Hey Trixie. Long time fan. Genuinely I've been so inspired by your writing and even your lifestyle to a certain extent. We became weed addict at around the same time, so I found a lot of comfort indulging with you during that era of your channel lmao. But I've also recently decided to stop/cut back heavily because of how it was affecting my relationships and my productivity. My father passed away two months ago and the funeral was last week. That put a lot of life into sharp relief for me. I realize now that I can't wait for change, I have to be the change. All that is a very long way of saying. why didn't you create a new channel after your "rebrand"? I know that you already had a big subscriber base, but with the way YouTube's magic algorithm works, it seems like it might have been better to start from scratch with only your die hard following you and hope your videos find new footing with a new audience. Definitely easier said than done, and it might not even have worked, but it was something I thought might have been good for you in the moment. I pray we can all defeat the Anti-Spiral. Good luck.

Well it sucks, but maybe now you will learn what 3 weeks mean.
