I'd like to share a very important update about the future of the Library of Ohara. I'd appreciate if you could give it a read if you have the time (TL;DR summary at the end):
I'll try to keep this as brief as I can, but unfortunately The Library of Ohara is at a very real risk of having to shut down in the future.
For starters, on the good side, I'd like to say real quick that my health over the past few months has been slowly recovering. I have a long way to go but I'm slowly improving and getting better. I still have a long way to go as I'm still suffering a lot from symptoms, but I'm trying to take it slowly.
Unfortunately though, this health relapse has made things quite difficult for me recently as the increased medical costs have also taken a hole in my finances, and being able to work less has caused my earnings to plummet considerably too.
The issue is that this comes during a period of time in which views for One Piece videos have been considerably decreasing over the past year or two across the entire platform. This isn't a phenomena limited to just my channel, but one I've discussed with creators of all sizes and places, from creators with over a million subs to creators from places like France or Spain. Other people have made better explanations on the subject, but we largely believe that the YouTube algorhythm is being oversaturated with low quality and AI generated content that has caused a lot of our collective views to decrease over time.
And while I'd like to think I'm not one to obsess over views, this has had a real effect on the earnings of my channel, to the point I've been secretly producing the Library of Ohara at a loss (losing more money than I make just from survival costs alone) for the past couple years. Thanks to the savings I've built up over the time it was profitable, I've been able to get away with losing money so far, but now coupled with the rising costs my health has taken, it's not becoming sustainable anymore.
I don't like having to ask this, but if you are able to help out, I would appreciate if you considered pledging to my Patreon to help keep the Library of Ohara sustainable. Of course, if you yourself are struggling as well, please don't worry, but if you can afford it and would like to help content like mine continue to be made, I'd appreciate if you could help out during this difficult time!
For those who pledge to my Supernova tier or higher ($10 a month), you can get early access to the Interactive One Piece World Map Project. This is a massive project I've been working on for the past 5 years to make a fully interactive map of the world with an incredible level of detail and extensive features to help you learn more about this beautiful world. The map will be available for free as an open resource for the community at some point in the near future, but you can access it right now by pledging to the aforementioned tier! Link to Patreon can be found in my Twitter bio!
I'm really sorry about having to ask help like this, but I would like to keep betting on making high quality content and special projects like this one rather than start creating low quality entertainment like YouTube now increasingly demands. And again, even if you can't help, just being there for me this whole time has been an incredible honor. Thank you for being there with me on this journey and I hope that you can find all the joy in your life as well!
TL;DR: My current health issues and difficulties over YouTube's oversaturation of low quality content have made it difficult for the Library of Ohara to remain sustainable long term. If you are able to help out, I would be very grateful if you could help support my content through Patreon, and you can get access to my Interactive World Map Project early through it! Thank you for all your support!!
