Update on the last post:
I removed all mid roll ads on every video on the channel :D
It took a while but thankfully after, more time than I liked but at least I figured it out, going through each video I discovered I could mass remove in sections. No more mid-rolls on any videos moving forward. Thank you to all of you who brought this to my attention and gave feedback towards this. Even though the overall consensus, over time, was some being okay in the beginning of a video I think it's for the best to just keep them out altogether :)

This situation unintentionally led me to realizing/discovering things about myself too. I could go on a while about it but simply put, to me, it's all about experiencing time together. I thought about it kind of like when you're hanging out with a friend and when you're talking to them they check their phone from time to time. There isn't much behind it really but can easily become irritating lol. The tailing end of that thought to was the idea of the monetary aspect of it. I grew up in an environment to always be conscious of money and saving every little bit I/we can. When it came down to this situation, it was only an afterthought to being such an insignificant aspect of it all. That was/is very refreshing. Albeit, we aren't a large channel but it's not the size that matters but the quality of the contents. Hmm, sounds kinda familiar. It's nice realizing/growing with you and thanks to you. Most of the time I internalize/keep it to myself but I just wanted to share this too since it was directly from you :) There have been many times in the past as well but this is the most recent.

Alright, I think that's a good point to end it. No poll this time. I just want you to know that I appreciate you and I love you 💜🦍💜

Hey everyone I hope you've been well. I've been doing some thinking and looking back through the channel. I am very surprised to where it started to where it is now. I went back and looked through some older videos and something kept coming up. They're called "mid-roll ads." I never added any to my older videos but without fail I saw so many on each video making it almost impossible to navigate. Some of you mentioned how you received mid-rolls but it didn't make much sense to me. I would place one ad maybe every 15-30 minutes on a long video so I could help save up to fund our deck. I decided to test something out. I ran some of my videos on other channels and while not signed in and there were ads almost every minute. It was ridiculous. I would read similar things on reddit happening to other people and while looking through someone else's channel I decided to do an audit on my own. I know for me ads get annoying at a point but I didn't know it went to the extent it did. My apologies my friend. It's going to take some time but I'm going to manually remove every ad on every video I have. I was too caught up in keeping a schedule and getting videos out how I wanted that I neglected to watch through in my end. It may sound a bit much with this but I like to be transparent and open with you all. Starting right now I'll go back and remove all of the unwanted mid-roll ads and no more in future videos. If you ever catch any please let me know so I can remove it. Once again my apologies my friend. Much love as always.


I don't want to leave it with all of that so let's do something random-ish.
How much do you dislike ads on YT? I'm usually either 4-6 or 10

An update...

First off, I hope that you're doing well and life is treating you fairly. Alright, let's get into this one. Unfortunately I will not be able to maintain my video schedule from the past. I tried my best to keep it up but it's no longer sustainable. I really wish I could keep it up since I know some of you, like myself, enjoy a nightly routine to unwind and relax to. On the other hand, I have something exciting I'd like to share. For those of you who don't know I am from California. After lot's of planning and considerations I've decided that by the end of this year I will have a new home. I have a couple of places narrowed down to and I'm really excited for the next part of my life. I am focusing more on getting all of my affairs together here and saving up as much as possible. That will take away a bit from the video uploads of course. I will keep doing my best to keep bringing you the best videos I can as consistently as I can. Once everything is situated I'll give another update here but that won't be for a while.
In the meantime let me know of any final places I should check out here in California as well as fun places/restaurants across the country.

As always much love my friend and keep being awesome :)
