i& #39;ve hidden my youtube channel now. this has been the culmination of many years of stress and annoyance (thread)
years ago when i started the channel i made it for something particular that i have since moved on from, i wont mention exactly what that was (obviously lol) but most people already know it was a specific game, one in which i’d garnered a lot of attention
i don’t have any ill feelings to it all really, i was a kid who didn’t know what she was doing or who she would become, my past was cringe but it wasnt what defines me, ive moved on from it all
unfortunately everyone else couldn’t move on (ie: the people in this game who still cared about what i did in it) and ever since i stopped with the videos 4 years ago i’ve had constant, pestering comments demanding i come back
i employed word filters, hid specific users, told people to fuck off a lot and it did nothing. i eventually made a video addressing these comments but all that did was worsen things since i mentioned this game again
the problem is, on my profile in the game (which is still up unfortunately) i had the channel linked, so new players would click it, see all the music stuff and leave a comment like “is this *******?”. easy fix then right? just go to the account and remove the link, well…
long story short, i’m unable to get back in. not because i forgot the password but due to specific events the password was changed by someone else. i gave it away pretty much, at the time i thought “yeah whatever do what you want with it, i don’t care anymore”
but if i knew what the next 4 years would be like then holy shit i never would’ve allowed that to happen. what i’m left with is a direct stream of stupid kids who don’t know any better being fed into my channel with nothing i can do about it
so comes my solution, i was actually going to delete it all at first but i didn’t want to lose all the videos i’m proud of, thank god youtube had a hide function. i might start a new channel at some point but i haven’t decided on that yet
to all the people who have supported me in my music and art, thank you so so much, you’re the ones who i value most. to @youtube i would like to suggest a function that allows you to refresh your channel link, thus breaking all past hyperlinks (this would have helped immensely)
to anyone still involved in this games community who see’s this thread, do not share it. i don’t want to have any connections to it all anymore, i want to finally move on. i will be blocking anyone who retweets this and is still involved in the game
thanks for taking the time to read this all, i’m very relieved about it all and i feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, looking forward to making and releasing more music!
