• 0:09
  night i wing it it went
• 0:13
  i'm just a just a guy just a lone guy out here i'm shadow banned everyone i'm
• 0:19
  shadow shadow shadow shadow okay so i've also i I have been just finagling so much with my audio.
• 0:29
  Hopefully it is coming through clear and doesn't have that. You don't have to
• 0:33
  do the sound. It already does that.
• 0:36
  So that's what it's been like for the last, like, I, cause I switched mics probably
• 0:40
  about a month ago, a month or
• 0:41
  two ago, and it's just been making those noise. I don't know what it was.
• 0:45
  Hopefully I, but the only way I could be able to really hear it is if I go live
• 0:50
  and I'm able to listen to it afterwards.
• 0:52
  I know you can do with headphones and I think I figured that out as well, but I'm just
• 0:57
  I wanted to go live, you know I have everything set up anyways And I wanted
• 1:00
  to just point out a couple things like I I feel like I am shadow banned I feel
• 1:04
  like the algorithms against me there It's not the algorithm. It's the people.
• 1:09
  It's the audience get it through your freaking head man All right,
• 1:13
  so all right I get intense whatever I'm cool with that.
• 1:17
  I hope you are I'm shadow banned. Nobody can see it anyways. Who cares?
• 1:21
  Whatever I don't care.
• 1:24
  But I did want to show this on Tik TOK.
• 1:28
  Somehow they got my number as well. Look at this. Okay. There's a lot of Brandon's
• 1:32
  up there. You can see a lot of Brandon's.
• 1:34
  All right. I'll just point this out. Oh, you can see my scroller.
• 1:37
  You see zero, zero, zero.
• 1:40
  And there've been a lot more zeros as well, but I deleted the videos.
• 1:44
  I thought there was something just messed up, but apparently,
• 1:47
  apparently Tik TOK said, screw you, man. Screw you.
• 1:52
  They ain't showing you with no one you can't nobody
• 1:55
  gonna see you or whatever so i
• 1:58
  so for some reason i don't know what
• 2:01
  it is i think i started going live on tiktok again and
• 2:04
  then they just for some reason you can see him zero zero zero zero whatever
• 2:09
  and it's it's not just been that it's been other things as well i know i'm i'm
• 2:15
  just probably just being paranoid my apparent paranoid i do get like tony montana i get paranoid.
• 2:23
  I'm not going crazy. I don't know if you've experienced this.
• 2:26
  So anybody out there that does this for a living, I have my,
• 2:32
  I have my conspiracy theories. I have them. So I'm going to point this out as well.
• 2:38
  I'm if I, so I, and if you're grid on, if you create on YouTube,
• 2:43
  you have certain milestones that you hit.
• 2:45
  I am approaching a milestone for myself and I'm just going to show it.
• 2:50
  And if I do hit this milestone, I will open up all my analytics pretty much for everything.
• 2:56
  It's nothing to be hidden or ashamed of. You can kind of see it right there.
• 3:00
  I'm about to hit the 4,000 hour mark. And I don't know if that is why YouTube
• 3:06
  has pumped the brakes on me.
• 3:08
  And it's like championships have to be earned on their own.
• 3:12
  Maybe that's what it is. Maybe they said we only helped you like angels in the
• 3:16
  outfield. That's what I'm alluding to.
• 3:19
  Where whoever that one guy was, the angel, he said, we helped you so much,
• 3:22
  but championships have to be one on their own.
• 3:26
  Maybe that's why they did. They just said, you, we helped you enough.
• 3:29
  You got to do it yourself, man. Do it yourself, figure it out. You got to figure it out.
• 3:34
  And that's what I'm trying to do. If I do get to the point where I actually,
• 3:38
  so, cause I I'm in the YouTube partner program.
• 3:41
  You hit that when you hit 3000 hours, but uh
• 3:44
  once you get the 4 000 that's just another milestone and it
• 3:47
  opens up other things you can do on there whatever
• 3:52
  so if i do hit that i i'm thankful for anyone that has clicked in and watched
• 3:57
  in all your views i'm very thankful for but if i do hit that 4 000 mark you
• 4:03
  know i will i'm gonna i want to go through my analytics i think whenever i first
• 4:07
  started youtube probably about two years ago, 2024.
• 4:11
  I know my channel says since 2000 something, 13, I think that's since I had
• 4:15
  a channel, but it was probably 2024.
• 4:18
  It was 2024. I'm going to be more assertive, more, you know, descriptive.
• 4:23
  2024 is whenever I hit, whenever I started doing it and putting stuff on YouTube.
• 4:28
  And I've had so many ups and flows, ups and downs.
• 4:33
  And I think whenever I first started probably within a month or two,
• 4:38
  I started going through my analytics and there's a video way back when,
• 4:41
  you know, it's buried under there.
• 4:42
  And I went through my analytics, I talked through it and I haven't done it since.
• 4:48
  If I hit the 4,000 mark, I'm going to do that. I'm going to go through everything,
• 4:52
  pretty much reveal everything, show everything. I think that it's healthy. It's good.
• 4:57
  Because mi casa su casa. Mi casa su casa. So that's what my goal is, what I want to do.
• 5:03
  So I hope the audio is coming through clear and you can hear it.
• 5:09
  And I'm going to get real. I'm going to get real. I'm going to get nasty.
• 5:13
  No, I'm not going to get nasty. I'm going to get real, though. I'm going to get real.
• 5:16
  So I just, I mean, because I mean, I just, I'm, I love doing this.
• 5:21
  I love making content, creating stuff, talking about the news.
• 5:25
  I guess I'm still finding myself.
• 5:26
  I still have not narrowed down just a niche. I've never been able to do that.
• 5:30
  It's been difficult for me.
• 5:32
  I, it's hard for me to be on one topic. And I know that is a big no, no in the YouTube world.
• 5:38
  You that's, you want to be focused
• 5:41
  on just a niche. This is what you're going to, this is who you are.
• 5:44
  I've struggled with that. I think I creating videos. I think I've kind of directionally
• 5:49
  went towards a certain area.
• 5:51
  What I like to talk about and what I want to get involved in, but,
• 5:55
  I have probably sabotaged and nuked my channel in a lot of ways in the ways
• 6:01
  that I've approached that.
• 6:02
  But I mean, I'm going to just talk through that and share, you know,
• 6:05
  everything as much as I can as humanly possible.
• 6:08
  And I know that that turns a lot of people off, whatever TMI. I don't care.
• 6:14
  I am who I am. I've accepted it. I hope you will accept it as well.
• 6:19
  I'm going to go through my analytics eventually. I feel like I'm shadow banned.
• 6:22
  I feel like I'm no, no, I'm no out there.
• 6:25
  I'm enemy of the state, you know, I, that's how I feel. It might not be real.
• 6:30
  It might've been things that I've said in previous videos that,
• 6:33
  uh, are, you know, maybe a little too extreme, too out there.
• 6:37
  I am thankful for all the platforms I pretty much just do on YouTube.
• 6:42
  TikTok X and Instagram. I post stuff on those things on those platforms.
• 6:46
  I'm thankful for all of them.
• 6:49
  I'm not going to, you know, bitch at them at all or say, or it's their house.
• 6:56
  It's their rules. I want to always abide by their rules, but I'm also going
• 7:00
  to be as authentic as I can.
• 7:01
  And I, maybe I have pushed that to the limits at a couple of things.
• 7:04
  And maybe that's why they've put the throttle on it or whatever it is.
• 7:08
  Is it because I'm approaching that milestone or is it just be,
• 7:11
  or is it because I'm just bad?
• 7:13
  I'm, I'm, I'm, I understand that as well.
• 7:15
  I understand that as well. I'm, I'm okay with that.
• 7:18
  I'm not okay with that. I'm not okay with that, but I'm, I've accepted it.
• 7:23
  I think I just improving each day.
• 7:26
  This is, this is what I do. This is what I do. And I, I know it's not a taste
• 7:30
  for everyone or a taste for anyone, but I, it's who I am.
• 7:34
  I'm going to be who I am. I, and I just encourage everybody to be who they are.
• 7:37
  So I, I just wanted to go on here. I wanted to actually hear the audio.
• 7:42
  Hopefully it's coming through clear. I will be able to hear that on the, on the backend.
• 7:46

• 8:01
  Thank you for everyone. I really appreciate it.
• 8:03
  If I can hit that 4,000 mark, I will open her up the gates. So we'll see how that goes.
• 8:09
