Potential Video Disruption Coming
Added 2022-02-20 01:32:00 +0000 UTCThis directly relates to my recent struggles with Vimeo. I'm trying to tackle this as well as can, but I'm also away on a large family trip this weekend, so I'm doing my best to balance family time and tackling this issue. Please see this video if you're out of the loop: https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-hosting-62748139
I've canceled my Vimeo auto-billing option and removed the card associated with it to prevent Vimeo from doing something devious. I have not been given an ultimatum by them yet, but in their emails to me, they repeatedly mentioned Feb 22 as a date of wanting to "resolve the situation."
That means it's very possible (probable in my mind) that the videos you all have access to may be nuked by the 22nd.
In other words, you'd better watch them now if you haven't already.
I'm still exploring options for video hosting as well as I can over this weekend (Monday will be more of a focused effort), but as of now, I've not found the perfect answer.
Anyone who has recently joined this Patreon (thank you ❤) should feel no obligation on their end to remain if the videos drop. You're paying for content, bottom line. If that content disappears, you have every right to disappear with it. I'm going through my YT videos and removing the Patreon listing to minimize people joining prior to video being taken down
I'll provide more updates on Monday when I get home and can fully explore video hosting options (test with video uploads, contact companies, etc).
However this plays out, please know I appreciate every person who has decided to kick in a couple bucks to support this channel and my hip-hop journey. Y'all are awesome, and it's been such a joy reading your messages, chatting with you on Discord, and everything else you've brought into the mix.
At minimum, this will NOT interfere with my weekly reaction rotation. The videos will continue to come, one way or another. Problems have solutions, and I'll find a solution for this one way or another (hand deliver thumb drives to all of you every Friday?)

2022-02-20 17:20:03 +0000 UTCI’ll still rock with you content or no content. It’s only $2 a month and I’d rather keep supporting a quality content creator even if content stops for a while to figure stuff out.

2022-02-20 01:37:59 +0000 UTCthanks for the update bob, we appreciate all your doing, and it had to be on a holiday weekend didnt it? your right tho, problems have solutions and i believe you'll find one to this. and i wont speak for anybody else, but if the vids get nuked i aint going anywhere, im in it for the long haul. id recommend if you can (again vacation permitting) downloading any videos you can before they get nuked so you can re host them (assuming you dont still have the raw edits)
