The Fart-Hating Tree God of Okinawa
Added 2019-10-26 18:00:02 +0000 UTCToday's video is in conjunction with thousands of #teamtrees creators, big and small. Millions of normal people watching, learning, and taking a moment to discuss something important. Thanks to Destin and Mark for reaching out and asking if I'd take part. It's amazing to be able to feel like I'm helping.
Normally this is where I would ask you for more money, with great personal regret, but loving Patrons, you've already donated. This week, in addition to the money that the ad revenue brings in, I've taken all the funds you normally put aside for keeping Kata and I fed and bet it all on trees.
We may be destroying the world, but I'll be damned if we can't have fun every once in a while trying to build some of it back up. Thank you, as ever, for allowing us to make choices (no matter how small) that attempt to make the world a better place. It is a sincere privilege to even think about donating thousands of dollars to any cause, let alone one helmed by my friends.
You are all the best. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Kata and Evan

@Badyuyu - I shadowban people who come to spread negativity for no reason. It's usually around 60/40 or so, depending on the video. Often it's hugely positive, which I am thrilled about. But just as often it's a lot of personally directed hate that spills across the rest of the internet and even into my inbox. I remove it from YouTube so the comment sections aren't trash.

2019-11-01 23:39:38 +0000 UTCThe beauty of being a total asshole like myself is that while it comes with a whole bunch of downsides it also means that I don't think about the negative response. If I think a video is worth making I'm gonna make it, even if it flew in the face of every other human on the planet. I don't know why people listen to me, frankly. It is definitely funny to me that there have been some people who are so outlandishly upset to hear someone is raising money to plant trees. How dare they, eh? But I also think that my video/channel being naturally cynical as a base somewhat deflates them a tad.

2019-10-29 07:11:02 +0000 UTCFair enough - and yeah, mine isn’t getting great traction either - thought some of the big teamtree players might reshare some of the videos us little guys put out - no such luck yet. So far I have only reached (and apparently annoyed) a small part of my existing core.
