I'm not asking anybody to care. I'm just venting, I'm sure you guys can allow that! 🧡😒
Added 2025-05-07 16:17:41 +0000 UTCThis shit is so deflating and demoralizing. This is why it's SO fucking scary to start a new show! Any show! Even when it's the most popular show out at the moment! Or the most Niche show with the most Niche supportive fan base. Even when those shows win the polls on YouTube and Patreon! You all know how I love secession. Regardless of how good the show is and how much I enjoy it, regardless of all the research I do beforehand. YouTube is still going to give you that middle finger! The algorithm is just garbage truck juice.
All that work, all that time spent, all the money spent editing the videos smh I have almost 40K Subs. You would think they would share your videos with your subs, but no! The big channels are the only ones that get all of YouTube's attention. I can't even explain to you guys the anxiety I feel about dropping the remaining new shows I'm doing on YouTube - The Walking Dead, Anne with an E, etc bruhhh
Sincerely speaking, if not for the patrons' support, I would have given up on making reactions a year ago. And I guess in essence, this is a thank you to all for your support over here💐🧡

2025-07-08 16:45:08 +0000 UTCUgh. All of this sucks. Although not surprised. You Tube is owned by Google, who is shutting down small biz profiles and refuses to tell us small biz owners why. They ruined my biz, promoting only big chains thru biz profiles, maps and reviews. I guess us small fry don’t spend the big $$$ on ads so they just want us to go away.

2025-07-08 15:58:56 +0000 UTCI feel you. Don't worry, none of what I said was directed at you the viewers. I have zero desire to make anyone watch something they're not interested in. My beef is directed at the platform that doesn't prioritize small creators. Appreciate yall💛

2025-05-09 16:43:42 +0000 UTCI'm so so sorry you feel that way right now. As a creator, these feelings are like waves: come and go without deviations lol. I don't think that any reasoning to make you feel better would work, at least it never works for me, especially since you know your channel the best and you know when things go sideways. I'm just wishing you that you'll have your "breakthrough" very soon, because you deserve it so much. I'm a sucker for reaction channels, but you put so much of yourself into it, it's so humane and real, I'm absolutely sure your audience will keep growing, especially in this ai🤢 age, when it's so nice to feel connected. And, fyi, one of the first thoughts I had when I started "Severance" was "lemme check if frank saw that". And I rewatched your "Interview with the vampire" reactions more times than the actual show lmao 🤭 I'm absolutely sure I'm not alone like this. You matter. Have a wonderful day dude 💚

2025-05-09 01:10:47 +0000 UTCOh Frank, that sucks that you feel like that. From our perspective, we have 56 channels we're subscribed to, these vary from travel vlogs, to football (soccer) news, mini golf, food reviews and of course film and TV reactors like yourself. We scroll through our subscribed channels on a daily basis, so we DO see everything you upload, but keeping up to date with these is time consuming, as well as fitting it all around 'real life' so we do have to be a bit selective about which shows we commit to. Take The Walking Dead for example, we watched probably 8-9 seasons of this show and quite enjoyed it at the beginning but got very bored at around season 6. There is no way we could commit the time to watch something this long, that didn't really grab us when we watched it ourselves. The same goes for The Wire and Succession, both very highly rated shows but we only lasted a season on each before deciding they weren't for us. We are watching Killing Eve at the moment, and loving watching it again through your eyes. The same went for Ted Lasso, a show we adored, and probably fell in love with it even more on the 2nd watch with you. I guess what I'm trying to say is, please don't take it personally if we don't watch everything you upload. ...... We'll always be keeping an eye on your polls hoping for new shows that grab our interest. Keep your chin up buddy, you are doing an AMAZING job !!!
