->They put a copyright claim on the most popular video because it involved one of their creators. Sounds justifiable, sounds reasonable, and in some world, in some way it would be, [[ByNoIMeanYes but unfortunately we do live in a world where fair use exists, and when I say unfortunately, I mean thank fuck for that fortunately]], because if we didn't we'd be in a hell of a mess, wouldn't we, where content creators are silenced and can't critique people without the ever present danger and risk of their channel being taken away from them because of a flawed copyright system on YouTube. [[ByNoIMeanYes Am I trying to say that's not the situation? Oh, that's exactly the fucking problem we're in despite the fact that fair use exists.]]

->There's no competition on YouTube when it comes to "you can't mention other channels, you can't promote them" because promoting the channels doesn't negatively affect you. Someone having a bigger number than me doesn't make their content better, all the respect due because it makes good stuff that people enjoy. (...) The main reason that I'm trying to improve this show, channel, whatever, in any way that I can is because it's for me, it's to satiate my own desire of being good at what I do and being better at what I do on a regular basis because I had the realization that it took me four fucking years to even attempt to improve. (...) [[QuantityVsQuality The quality matters more than quantity]], even though the YouTube algorithm begs to differ.

->People with success should never have regrets and I would certainly say that what I have right now is a success, it's a job I love doing, it's paying the bills more, more than required and I fucking adore it but any quote on quote mistake I made up until now got me to where I am right now, so I don't regret it, I value the mistakes I've made, I value not putting effort into my videos for so long because that's what actually motivated me to actually fucking do it, because I did three videos a day back then and they were all terrible. I realized I had like a thousand videos and they all sucked, so I started putting effort into them, that's right, that's why I'm here. Making terrible content for two years is why I make ama..well, that's a bit too much, making good content now. You know, I'd never have 50,000 subscribers, holy shit by the way, if I didn't make the mistakes I did, if I didn't make the good decisions that I did. Every single step, right or wrong, limping or not was a good one, it was the right one because I'm sat here right now able to say that my passion is my job and my job is the bills and oh so very much more.

->It's OK to do things differently, it's OK to be a little weird, but this isn't weird, it's just bad and the only way it's funny is because this was a professionally made and released thing by ''you!''. Any person above the age of minus five is going to look at that, laugh, and wonder what the hell you ingested before you fucking produced that garbage. If you want to market a game like Splatoon you don't get some whatever the hell that was as the music. All you need to do is get some cheery guy to explain the game and make it sound appealing to ''people'', not children who think that think that a wacky wavy inflatable arm tube man is the hottest shit since Barney the Dinosaur.

->"I always wanted to make games because it was kind of a dream, an aspiration. (...) But as said, through the summer I was making content, I was enjoying making content because not only did I enjoy making it, people somehow enjoyed watching it. Naturally, that amplifies my enjoyment of actually making it, doing it, it's really a fucking amazing feeling. Very thankful to be where I was then and especially where I am now."

->"Within the first hour of me being back at University for the second semester I quit. (...) That was it, I gave up, that was it for me. I don't want to say I gave up because that sounds kind of bad but I guess that's what it is. I ultimately decided that it was more important for me to do this (...) it made too much sense not to do it, you know. It's the thing I love doing, I'm happier doing it. I mean I woke up this morning happy with nothing on the horizon that I have to worry about, it was nothing but positivity. For the first time in months I can say I was one hundred percent happy. I am in no way saying I was miserable before, I'm simply putting it out there."

->"I guess I can also use this to thank you for everything, I mean I don't make subscriber specials because I think that every video I make is special, you know. (...) I put effort into all of them, I don't just churn them out for the sake of it, I don't do two videos a day for the sale of do being two videos a day, I do two now because I want to make more content that's actually good and worth watching becuase you want to watch more of it, so that's it basically, thank you for wanting to watch this. thank you for the crazy few who wanted to watch my content when it was terrible, which it was, I appreciate the fact that some of you watched that garbage and think it's good, sincerely I do because if it weren't for you then I wouldn't be where I was, and I wouldn't be where I am. So thank you to every single person that ever enjoyed my fucking terrible content and thank you to everybody else who somehow found this bloody hell hole of nonsense and has stuck around for the ride."

->"[[OutOfCharacterMoment I feel oddly emotional which is weird]]. I already had one of the happiest days of my life yesterday, so much to the point where on the way home I realized how happy I was that I started fucking running home, the walk home became a run. I was just happy, because as said, there was no negative in my life anymore, you know except for death and taxes but you can't do fucking shit all about that."
