So, here’s what happened the other day:

I was mentioned in the chat when Tim had Vaush on his show.

That was it. That’s all it took for Vaush’s minions to start harassing me again.

And this is why we don’t platform people who use their audience to harass others.
Just because you CAN have anyone you want on your channel doesn’t mean you should.

Just because you CAN doesn’t mean it responsible.

And just because you CAN doesn’t mean it doesn’t have consequences for people that didn’t ask for any of it.
In the last day, I’ve blocked well over 1000 people on here.

I’ve received a ridiculous amount of hate mail and threats.

I’ve had a private community that you have to pay to join to get access to exclusive content infiltrated so they take the content and use it to harass me.
I’m sure I haven’t even seen many of the things that have been said and done.

And I know I’m not the only one they’re harassing because I have DMs from several other people too scared to say anything.

Some of you have said “just don’t say anything! It’ll go away!”
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JUNE and silence has done nothing.

It ebbs and flows, which means there are times it’s really bad and there are times I barely notice it. But it has been constant nonetheless.

Just how long should I have to just take it before I say something?
Now, I’m fine. I’m more resilient than most. But no one should have to just accept being harassed by a mass of people.

This is not just a few mean tweets, and anyone who says so is a lair.

And no one, once they know what’s happening, should support it. It’s wrong.
You can call me a whiner. You can call me a snowflake. You can say “the lefty never left you.” You can even say “I’m gunna book him again”

And you’ll just be showing that you support his mob harassing people, me and many others.

That says more about you than it does about me.
Mikey Harlow said to be yesterday that you can tell a lot about someone from the audience they cultivate.

The people I want in my audience understand that you don’t support the harassment of others.

And that everyone is fully capable of going to Vaush’s channel and watching him
If these are concepts you don’t understand, or that we are not aligned on, I am perfectly fine with you not being in my audience.

Remember, I never wanted to do this. It was something that happened and I saw it as a way to help and serve people.
Developing a mass audience was never the goal.

Having minions was never the goal.

And when the election is over, I plan to refocus on the things important to me.

Now is as good a time as any to clean house.
