Content

Thank you all so much for backing me up on this monster, which has consumed my life for 3.5 months. It did come down to the wire, as I finished this morning, nevertheless, it is finished.

I hope you take some pride in this as well; a lot of people left, and without all those names at the end of the video, this wouldn't have happened as I would have been pitching for freelance projects making ads for electric scooters and pot dispensaries all summer. It's my opinion, but I think the world is better for this video than for more ads for electric scooter and pot dispensaries.

I would really like help getting the word out if you know how that's done, but of course AFTER the public release in two weeks. Those first 48 hours are critical to the algorithm gods.

Meanwhile, please enjoy this product of labour--I hope it does not disappoint.
