I can't believe it's been almost 5 years since I last posted here. Last one was on April 29 of 2019 when I was just celebrating my 15,000 subscribers achievement. Now I'm close to 100,000 subs, I can't believe it.
Honestly, the reason why this blog died is because back then very few people cared about it. I barely had any readers and I just didn't see the point in continuing with it. Also, it just felt unnecessary; a place to write what I could also write on YouTube, Patreon and other websites. Now, however, I have no social media at all. About a year and a half I started closing all my accounts at Facebook, Twitter and Discord. Never cared for other social media. I'll do a post some other time on why I quit. The point is... while I don't regret my decision of quitting, I do believe I need some form of writing blog that's not part of those websites. I need a place to write whatever I want publicly. I can do that on my podcast at Patreon, but that's a recorded spoken podcast, I need to write. I can write posts too there but I charge people for reading, so I need a public, completely free place. I also don't want to do it on YouTube cause I use the community section to promote my videos. So I'm left with one choice and this seems like a good place to do that. After all, it's been here for several years, ever since I was living in England trying to promote my books. I've come a long way.
So what can you expect from this blog? Well, it's still owned by the ultra politicized Google, so writing freely against any sort of politics could get me shadow-banned. Fortunately though, this blog isn't what I do for a living and, just like with my second YouTube channel, I don't care that much if they decide to hide me from search results or if they don't want to promote my posts. Therefore, I'm going to write whatever the fuck I want. But really, what can you expect besides my usual free speech? Well, I'll be using this blog to promote my videos, of course, but also to write about things that don't merit a video, or topics that I don't mind writing in public about. Every now and then I'll share some background about my videos, or about my YouTube career or even my writing career. So take this blog as extra content, but in the form of writing.
So let's celebrate the revival of this long-forgotten blog. Pretty much my official website now. Hopefully, you'll find something of interest to read about in the future. Meanwhile feel free to delve into the past with any of the previous posts that I've done here.
Thanks a lot for reading, and thanks for the support!
