right? although, "doing the basic/obvious thing" does seem to be something google/youtube is very good at not doing. i have heard other creators i follow talk about how there's a setting or something that serves vids less to subs in exchange for serving them to non-subs (don't quote me though).

and hey, easier said than done, but do what you like! i've been watching your stuff for like 20 years, so i figure there's a pretty good chance i'm gonna keep watching no matter what, haha.

not sure how universal this is, but in the last month or so, i noticed your new vids weren't getting pushed to me, so i'd actually have to go to your page to see them. the tone of the first "relaxing" vid threw me for a sec, but i'm watching it for you takes, not your cadence.
