As of January 1st, 2020, I will no longer be making content for Youtube. This has not been an easy decision to make and one that I've struggled with for the last couple years. To put it frankly, I can no longer support a platform that doesn't have my best interest at heart.

Instead, I will be releasing all content on StoryFire (
@storyfireapp). Allow me to explain in a Twitter thread that will hopefully enlighten you as to why I'm making this decision. And also note, that I will always be eternally grateful for the opportunity Youtube has given me.15 replies 141 retweets 1,542 likesShow this thread -
I'm going to be presenting financial insights from my Youtube channel as well as analytics from StoryFire. By no means am I complaining about the dollar amounts in general, but comparatively given the amount of value I'm bringing to the platform. This is more for creators.

At the start of 2017, I had over 500 videos demonetized on the platform. Revenue dropped over 90%. I've seen complete episodes from my series removed from Youtube without warning. Communication from Youtube has been non-existent.

Sad that the only somewhat promising way to get in touch with Youtube support is on a completely different platform...(Twitter via Team Youtube) Usually a cookie-cutter response. It's almost impossible to actually connect with fans on Youtube. That too, best done off-platform.

Dont you have an email for creator support and a personal agent that helps you when needed? If you've never utilized that, then what's the big deal? Team youtube on twitter isn't much of a support, and it's all canned responses.
