Channel Update (Patreon)

Hi everyone, hope your new year is going well so far! Since I’ve had some time to gather my thoughts since the publishing of our last video, I just wanted to give you all an update. There may be a video to accompany this at the end of January, but I thought you should get something sooner as my Patrons.

So, first things first, I’m sorry that the recent content has been rather singular in its nature. When we first set out to cover Lily we only planned on doing a single video, but, as is hopefully obvious from the depth we’ve gone into, it wouldn’t have been possible to cover everything to the degree it required. That’s why we settled on breaking it down into smaller chunks, yet each chunk adds another video. There are two major videos left to cover at the current time along with a few minor things we might throw into a larger video like the debunking one we did after the Mackenzii video, though we’ll see on that. I’m trying to get these done as fast as possible without compromising on the quality.

For those who have only joined us these last two years, the reason I’m going so hard on this is because Lily fooled me and I promoted her on the channel, so I feel I owe it to the people who were led to believe she was safe by me as well as her victims to do due diligence.

Another thing we’ll be doing soon is publishing a video of us donating the ad-revenue made from the victim testimony videos to a charity that supports victims of abuse. We monetised those videos to give YouTube a reason to promote them, yet it was agreed with both Glade and Mackenzii before they went out that the money would go to charity. That way we could avoid accusations of ‘paying’ Lily’s victims whilst also not profiteering off what they went through ourselves.

As for the Rachel Oates situation, we are still pressing on that front, it just takes time sadly, something neither myself nor Udita have had a lot to spare recently. We haven’t forgotten/abandoned it, and we can hopefully get that fixed this coming year.

I’ve also got a few other pieces partially written, but nothing concrete yet. So, if you have any ideas of what I should cover next, be sure to let me know your suggestions!

It’s also worth noting that I’ll be taking my first holiday that isn’t a single weekend since 2017. On the 14th of January me and Udita will be visiting Goa, a popular tourist destination in India. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been here for 5 years now and yet we’ve never visited. Udita got some extra money from her work and we decided we could both do with a proper break (also be nice to get away from the cold), so we thought we’d do that now.

Again, hope you’re all doing well, and I'm excited to see where the new year takes us.
