Hey everyone,

I have a bit of a negative post because I really think I need to be honest with you: my channel is dying. Since January the views on almost all of my videos have been terrible. The "worst YouTubers" video did ok for the first week and a half or so, but that eventually disappeared from the algorithm. The poor performance of the videos is why I've been putting so many out. If I didn't, I'd make basically no money.

And I'll be honest with you: I don't think ANY of the videos I've put out this year are good. Due to the state of the channel, it's become "quantity over quality" and this has has resulted in lazy videos that I just don't think are good enough. Plus it's really taking a toll on me because I'm having to write, record and edit these videos in such a short amount of time.

I don't know how much longer I can do this, especially when it really does seem like the channel is ultimately doomed. The Patreon itself also isn't doing very well. Whether or not it's because I don't do a good enough job of advertising it or because viewers simply aren't interested, I don't know. I also tried Channel Memberships as well, but that failed miserably so I cancelled them after about two weeks. Anyway, TLDR; the channel is really not doing well and I'm not sure what's going to happen. Sorry to be a whiny bitch, but I wanted to be honest with you all.

I hope your channel gets out of this hellhole wishing you all the best for you

Man, that sucks! I really like the format of your videos. I know nothing about YouTube content generation. I know some YouTubers have done collaborations to increase their viewer base; not sure if that works.

Brother, I love your work, and I really hope that you get through this rough patch. You do such a phenomenal work into every video. And you cover such obscure cases, that bring deserved attention to serious instances. You deserve more than you get. Ultimately, you need to do what’s best for you, so whatever you decide, we will support you

I hope you get out of the shit hole that is the YouTube Algorithm.

I love your channel. It makes my day whenever I see one of your videos. I really hope you make it through this rough time. One day at a time and we are all there for you and with you ❤️

Your videos are incredible and the quality is definitely not a reason why the channel is dying. Honestly, I think with how the world is going, maybe people are just finding the subject matter a bit too depressing. It's why I've fallen off watching some of your stuff. I definitely don't hate your videos or anything. I just needed more fluffy fun content before the true crime stuff. Maybe you can consider doing a collab one day with another YouTuber? Shrouded Hand does a lot of videos similar to yours and he's also British! I hope your channel can bounce back. You're a great person doing some great coverage. I'm not gonna revoke my Patreon sub, either. Keep doing your best and we're with you all the way.

Hi i like your videos. Please keep making them, they really help me to focus when I have hours of productivity or when i need to sleep. I am new to this Patreon thing, and would really love to see more of your content I know how stressful it can be and how tiring it can be but I’m hoping that with my having bought a membership it will be more of an encouragement for you to keep going! I know we may not know each other like that but through this app, you are welcome to reach out at any time. Also hello from the USA!

I know that mental health is important and if you need to take a breather for the sake of it please do know that we will all be here including me. You give a voice to the voice list, and to those who really are oppressed and or victims of such horrible circumstances. Thank you for speaking up for what is right. *voiceless*
