My close friends have known this for a while, but I have decided to quit youtube for the foreseeable future. Although I still have fun making videos, I also find making them to be incredibly taxing and stressful. I also no longer find it creatively fulfilling, as I find myself

wanting to write actual stories with characters nowadays. Not only that, but I've lived through the steady decline of Youtube as a platform, to the point where all the edgy creators I used to watch have to censor themselves so hard they can't even swear. I believe Youtube as a

platform for creative expression is dying. It's probably making more money than ever for the corporate higherups, but in terms of expression the site sucks and I hate it. Every year the creators feel more sanitized than last year's, and making a few risque jokes now means

risking termination (ala Mumkey Jones). I'm not only tired of making videos, but I've always hated the way this site is run. I am however glad my channel ended on what I believe to be a high note. My Gabriel Dropout vid is incredibly tightly scripted, and probably the second best

thing I've ever created on that channel. Despite how negative I've been in this thread, I couldn't be more glad I did Youtube as long as I did, and I hope my acquired writing and editing skills help me in the future. I'll probably pursue other creative endeavors from here

also fuck bitches get money

just had to add that
