This was a really emotional, personal and reflective script for me to write. @ericweichhart.com did a great job of grabbing all kinds of great archive material to bring it all together in the edit.

I find it interesting how it never stops getting easier for content creators to ragebait for monetization, including an evergrowing skill to take things of context.
But what I wonder the most is about the audience.
Looking for artificial ways to be angry can't be healthy.

After all the recent YouTube events, I can't believe I forgot about the existence of Dailymotion.
I know some news stations are using it in my country, but I don't know how good the video app is or if the monetization is worth it

Can't thank everyone enough for the added support we got on Patreon this week with our call-to-action video.
We set the goal for ourselves to get back to $45,000 / month on Patreon by the end of the year in our Q2 report, and we've surpassed that this month.
That's financial security for our team

I find it frustrating Square-Enix (and for another example, SEGA and ATLUS) are not even doing paid upgrades.
PSN Store?
Buy it once for PS4 and PS5
Xbox?
Buy it once for Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X and why not, PC too
And if you go physical, only the Switch 1 copy is offline.

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago
Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart
To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL

As of today I've put out a video (with @ericweichhart.com editing!) every week for the last four months now.
Really proud of that considering all the other stuff I have going on every week too.
Have had a lot of fun writing them, and I'm glad people are enjoying them.
