I have been in the TTRPG hobby since 1987. I have been a GM since 1991. I am a YouTuber who does TTRPG content. I share my thoughts and what I have learned.




I quit my last job to dedicate myself fully to YouTube. I got verified and approved by YouTube. I’ve never had a strike or any prior issues. Then overnight, all my monetization was removed. A full month unpaid (~$1000), money I already invested in editors. I run a verified channel, use my own voice, and create educational biology content. Each short (40–60s) takes over 8 hours of editing/animation… and now I owe my team. My followers are asking me not to quit and to keep uploading… but this is getting out of my hands. This leaves me at a total loss. @TeamYouTube I need help and a human review, please. #YouTubePartner #YouTubeMonetization @nealmohan #inauthenticcontent #youtube #youtubedemonetization #creatorsupport #youtubecreators #contentcreator #monetization #youtubepartner #fairreview #fixyoutube #youtubepolicy #supportcreators



#OSR #dungeonsanddragons #TTRPGs I had someone accuse me of being the one who said this. I have never said it was against the rules to have multiple characters. What I said was this, if you always need five characters most of the time to get through the early levels because you keep running towards action, based on the designers intent you are doing it wrong. Survival is the name of the game. The designers wanted you to avoid combat as much as possible in the early levels. Meaning in most cases you should be able to survive with your first character. Stop accusing me of what I didn't say. Listen and learn, because everything I have said is spot on FACT!! Also this is coming from guys who claimed a house ruled version of tournament play was the correct way to play the game and their style was intended. It wasn't, their style is not RAW Ad&d 1e. So the #BROSR should STFU and sit down. x.com/Crossface02/st…


Rumble pays 50% less for 4x the views compared to YouTube monetization. My morning audience complain of freezing and stalling or glitches literally daily. I never see such complaints on YT. Rumble also has trash for analytics. I wish it sucked less, but it doesn't.




It use to be weird being told that there are people that watch everything that I do on here and lie daily about me. Stalkers. I am now use to it. I do cut off 99% of people who choose to be friendly with those people. I make an exception for a few, I can count on one hand the exceptions. If you are connected to them and I have not blocked you, it just means I don't pay attention to you, if I did and notice that you followed them, I would 100% block you. I sometimes lightly troll them in ways that they don't understand, when you know people are watching you, well.... 😂 Yet I want no direct connection to them and if you are connected to them, I judge you based on that, sorry, but not sorry. If you are willing to be friendly with those kinds of people, that speaks poorly about who you are. Tonight I will do a fun nerd TTRPG stream talking about space ships and dice systems. People will watch who hate me, people will watch who copy me, I could have a huge ego about it, but I am numb to it now. Most people would love to get the attention I get. If I give people my attention they milk it, because my attention is valuable. I actually do not believe in reality I have this much sway, but many around the old school TTRPG community act as if I do. If I give you the time of day, you are a somebody all of a sudden. When you pay attention to me, you are just one within a crowd of people that pay attention to me. #OSR #TTRPGs #dungeonsanddragons





The best way to inflict pain on YouTube for their bans and demonetization, is to mass move to Rumble. Try it, and you'll see how fast YouTube will pivot. Competition breeds better outcomes for creators.

My first long form video on 1:31 OUTDOORS is literally doing 24x better on @rumblevideo than on youtube. Tell me again how youtube is pro small creators?
