      TBH I'm a little dissatisfied with my last couple videos. I mean I think they're good—professional, up to my standard of writing, founded on good research. But they're too cautious, and not really what I want to do on YouTube.

      I've gotten too skittish. I've let Twitter get to me. I've started taking directions from my audience. And as a result I've done a few videos that, while still produced to the best of my ability, were motivated by meeting a demand, not by any genuine inspiration on my part.

      In particular, I did the videos on capitalism largely because I got 50 comments a day saying "talk about capitalism." And I do think it's an important topic, I'm glad I did something on it. But economic analysis is not really what I'm good at. It doesn't excite me.

      I think people who are fans of a thing have an idea of what they want from that thing that isn't necessarily what they actually want. Probably they don't yet know what they want, so it's the creator's job to tell them what they want and then give it to them.

      There's a place for feedback too, obviously, but other people can't tell me what inspires me. People think they want a million-part series on capitalism from me, but I'm telling you right now that there are other things I can do much better than that.

          So this spring and summer I want to go back to following my heart for a while, and return to my roots producing psychedelic, over-costumed, hypersexual trash. Let's get real weird with this.

          Don't give the people what they want. Give them yourself and find out which people want THAT. You're an awesome person, enough people will want to hear whatever it is you have to say to build an audience around.

          You could pull a Marx and *say* you're going to do a third part of your series on capitalism... and then never actually do it. :D Personally, I liked both of your capitalism videos a lot, but it's always better to have something to say than to have to say something.

          Good rule of thumb: whenever fans say something is good or something is bad, they are always correct, but never about what that thing is

          I made a separate channel for my weird stuff so the 100 or so people who are into it can watch it. It gives me an outlet.
