I'm in BIG trouble for Tax... [7Y9rEIw67fk]

Testing, testing.

Hello, hello, yellow.

Okay, it's working. Uh,

hold on,

where's that?

Huh, MS Paint.

Oh wow, thanks, T-Pop.

No, I banned people accusing me of tax

evasion, which is not true.

But I'm in some big trouble, guys. This is

not clickbait or trolling.

Holy crap, I'm actually in massive

trouble. This is gonna— this is gonna

wipe out my entire life savings.

Do you understand what this means for me?

I'm gonna lose my entire life savings over

this. Oh my God, I cannot believe

it.

Let me just fix the overlays. This stream

looks like a mess. I want to write down

today's topics first of all so people

don't say, oh, he's just saying the same

stuff over and over again. No, I'm not.

If I say stuff I've said before, it's just

because it's kind of relevant to what I'm

talking about in relation to current

events. So I never just ramble on and on

about the same thing for no reason.

It's always because of something, like I

go on a tangent. So we're going to talk

about tax and we're going to talk about

Money, and then we got to talk about, uh,

maybe this ROG Ally, going to buy it

today. And then, uh, maybe getting a cat.

I don't know what else we're going to talk

about. Stupid Chihiro,

stupid Mila,

life in Thailand. There you go,

breakdown of Today's topics.

I didn't need to open Notepad to write

stuff. I could just write it using the

text box. Oh my god, so dumb.

So glad you're in trouble with tax. Well,

stuff you too,

because you know this thing called karma.

Yours will be coming soon as well. So

yeah, don't, don't laugh at people who are

in trouble because it'll be you next.

Maybe not for tax, but for something else.

You wish badly on other people, it'll come

back to you sometime at some point. Mark

So I got

a letter from the tax people. My sister

told me about it, saying that they're

doing— what's it called?

Self-compliance check or something.

Basically, in American terms, it's an

audit. So knowing America and the UK, we

have different phrases for everything. So

I'm being audited and they made me— is

this for the year, the tax year 2020 to

2021? I don't know if the same in America,

but in the UK the tax year starts in

April. So from tax year 2020 April until

2021 April, they asked me to show my bank

statements, to which I did. And then they

replied to me saying that I actually made

like £36,000 in 2020, but I declared like

£16,000 through no fault of my own.

I thought I only made £16,000

and, you know, there's £12,500 tax-free

allowance. I thought, okay, since I made

about £12K on OnlyFans, I just won't

include that because it's, you know,

tax-free. So I didn't include that in my

self-assessment. And now they're like,

why didn't you include it in your

self-assessment? So I only paid

£1,500 in tax. Back in 2020.

Now they're telling me, now they're

telling me I owe £7,000 in tax and that

they haven't even worked out my penalties

yet because they want to like figure out

what happened. Why did I make such a big

mistake? So maybe I'll write it down.

Where is it? I'm actually going to be

completely financially ruined after this,

so thanks very much, tax people.

Tax I owe. So I owe,

I owe like £7,300. That's how much I was

supposed to pay, so I'm going to have to

pay that plus,

plus probably like 50% penalty. So the

penalty system works like this. If it's a

prompted disclosure, meaning they told

you to tell them, then you get penalty

more. But if it's unprompted, meaning I

voluntarily admitted I made a mistake,

then I'd get punished less. But because

they prompted the disclosure, that means

I'll probably get a higher penalty. So now

they need to determine if I was careless

or if I was trying to conceal it. So if I

was careless, it means I'm going to have

to pay like a 30% or 50% penalty. If I was

concealing it, then it's like a 50% to

100% penalty. So worst case scenario,

they think I was concealing it and they

give me the maximum penalty, which is

basically double what I owe. So I could

owe like £14,000 and that's just for 2020.

And then I just finished my

self-assessment for last year. Guess how

much money I owe for last year? £3,500.

Taxation is theft. Oh, thanks,

Chris. Yeah, it's so stupid. I'm not even

in the UK most of the time and they're

taxing me the maximum amount and I don't

even use the NHS and I'm having to pay for

stupid NHS contributions. It's so

dumb. Hate tax.

I'm not even in the stupid country most of

Why didn't you run it through an

accountant? I did. I paid £150 for this

stupid accountant and he just came up with

the same number that I came up with.

I gave him my expenses, my earnings, and

then he came up with £3,500. And then I

did it myself and I got it down to like

£1,500 because I finally started adding up

my expenses. I managed to calculate like

£5,000 in expenses last year, which

brought it down a lot. I never bothered

with expenses before because I never

really had to pay a lot of tax. Now I have

to pay a lot. Probably have to start

tracking my expenses.

And you know, I don't understand because

they want me to pay in advance for the tax

year of this year. This year is only June,

so it's only been 2 months in this year,

but they want me to pay in advance for the

estimated amount they think I'm gonna have

to owe based on the last year. But I'm in

Thailand the entire time this year. I

don't have to pay I shouldn't have to pay

anything apart from like a couple hundred

for NHS contributions.

So I don't get it. They want me to pay

like £1,400 in

advance for this year.

By— it says like by July 2024, I got to

pay that. So that's really dumb.

And now they're going to investigate every

year afterwards. They say, because you

made such a big mistake on 2020, we're

gonna have to ask you for assistance with

bank statements for 2021, 2022,

2023. I'm screwed.

You know, I've only got like £18,000 in my

bank account and I'm gonna have to pay

Probably maximum penalty. So I'm gonna

have to pay double that £7,000, I'm

assuming worst-case scenario.

So I'm gonna have to pay like, I don't

know, £14,000, probably just £15,000. And

then tax year

2022, gonna have to pay— I got

it down to like £1,500. And then they want

me to pay in advance for 2023, like, uh,

1,400. So that's okay, that's my

entire life savings. I'm screwed.

That's like my entire life savings.

I won't have anything left. So I'm hoping

they're gonna let me pay in monthly

installments over like 5 years, because if

I have to pay this all at once, I'm gonna

literally have no money left.

It's my fault because I made all these

videos about how I was making all this

money on OF, and then I didn't declare

that I was making money on OF. I just put,

I just put YouTube and I lumped it all

under YouTube. So I thought it didn't

Why are you paying taxes if you're not

living in the UK? Well, I told her that I

was in 2020. I was in Rotterdam in Germany

for six months. It says if you are outside

of the UK for more than 183 days,

then you're not, you're not considered tax

resident. But I was outside of the UK for

like 181 days. I added up the days because

I went to Germany, remember, 2020, after

the whole Mila thing happened. It was like

July 2nd, and then

I was in the Netherlands and I came back

home on January 4th. Remember? So it's

like just under 183 days. I don't know if

they would accept that, but I told her

anyway, just in case. And also,

you remember I bought the iPhone 12 mini

from the Netherlands, a shop called

Coolblue? For some reason on my bank

statement, it says Coolblue paid you

£1,000, and then the tax person wrote

down Coolblue as one of my earnings,

£1,000 earnings from Coolblue. So I told

them, that's not earnings. Coolblue is an

electronic shop in the Netherlands I

bought an iPhone from. I don't know why it

says on my bank statement they paid me

£1,000. I think there's some kind of

transaction problem that happened because

it says paid in £1,000 and then paid out

£1,000 when I bought the iPhone. So I

don't understand what happened there.

Oh, thanks, Jim.

Oh God,

I'm screwed. I've lost all my money.

Like, all the sacrifices I made, the

humiliation, breaking all the

relationships and ruining all the

relationships with everyone— my family,

ex-wife, girlfriends. I did all that for

money, you know, to make the YouTube

money, and now it's gonna be taken away

from me, every single penny. So I'm

basically— I've made nothing. Everything I

made on YouTube is all gone, every single

penny. You might be thinking, oh, we got

30 million views on YouTube, so at least

you got some money. I got nothing now. I

might as well have not bothered. Might as

well just kept working at the petrol

I think I can do monthly payments because

I did that last year. They charged me like

£200 a month. I hope,

I hope I did 2021 properly.

I don't think I did it properly, but I

definitely paid more than what I did in

2020. So maybe 2021 won't be too bad. I

don't know how, like, if I'm just

declaring it not enough by a couple

hundred pounds.

Well, if— yeah, I guess I'm going to have

to because I can't make— I'm not making

enough money where I can pay for rent and

daily expenses. Plus the installments for

tax. I'm already paying, spending more

than I make because all this damn

traveling, like Japan, Phuket, Vietnam.

And then I got to pay rent and then I got

And then I had to pay for the school and

then I had to pay for visa stuff.

So every month it's like something,

something, something. I'm having to pay

Now on top of that, I'm gonna have to pay,

I don't know, what,

£17,000? Even if they let me pay it over 5

years, which they probably won't,

that's like 60 months. It's like £250 a

month. They probably make me pay that over

a year, 12 months. That's like £1,200

a month. I'm going to have to pay in

installments. CPAs don't help.

Stop saying pay for a CPA. I paid for one

and all they do is say, so what are your

expenses and income? And then I tell them

and then they'll say, well, here's your,

your tax return. Oh, thanks. That's the

exact same number I came up with because

you're using the same numbers I gave you

that I'm using. They don't have any magic

tricks that are going to make it come

down. They just use the information that

you give them.

So I don't know why you think paying for a

CPA is gonna help.

Maybe my mum will lend me some money.

How'd they find out? Well, I guess this

stupid idiot's been reporting me to the

tax people, and then they had a quick look

and And then they— I don't know if they

checked my YouTube channel because I made

all these videos bragging about how much

money I was making, which is kind of dumb.

CPA's no tax law. Yeah, but only based off

the numbers you give them. If I gave him

the wrong number, then he would have given

me the same number back.

So I've started doing a spreadsheet

tracking all my expenses. I don't know how

I got £5,000 expenses for last year.

Let me check my spreadsheet.

I bought DJI wireless mics I'm using now.

That's a write-off. I use this only for my

business. Got LiveU Solo, that was £860.

That's only for live streaming. Steam

Deck, I use that for my business. Uh, the

IRL server, that cost me a couple hundred

pounds a month. Oh, I added Steam Deck

twice. Oh shit,

I added the Steam Deck twice. Okay, I need

to fix my Self-assessment for last year.

Uh, the LiveU LRT bonding service,

Speedify bonding service, my battery bank,

the Flip Z Samsung I bought only for

streaming, PowerDirector monthly

subscriptions, video editing. Why I added

Speedify? Oh shit, I've added some stuff

twice by accident. What?

How did that happen? Oh my God, I added a

few things twice by accident. Then. Phone

bill— my UK phone bill was £460,

and you know, I use the internet to run my

business and do live streaming. I got the

Switch OLED, that was for reviews and

videos. Hogwarts Legacy, that was for

reviews and stuff. So yeah, I think I can

write off every game I buy, every piece of

tech I buy for the channel,

subscriptions, internet.

What else? Things like, you know, the

internet bonding service I was using for

livestreams.

Maybe the Japan flights, I could add those

too, because, you know, I went to Japan to

purely do livestreaming, which I did

livestreaming every single day. So you

could say, yeah, I went to Japan for

business. So that's a business expense.

The entire Japan trip was a business

expense. Where does £7,300 times

2 come from? Because, because I

made £36,000 in 2020.

And if you make like £36,000, your tax is

going to be like £7,000.

And then to make matters worse, the stupid

bank sent me a new bank card to my mum's

house. And then they deactivated my

current card. So I've got two bank cards.

One of them doesn't work now. And then

my mum cut up my new card. Then for your

OnlyFans to start making money again. No,

I can't. It's illegal to do that in

Thailand. You can't. I'm not risking that.

So I was trying to use my card and it kept

getting declined. So I thought they

blocked it. I phoned the bank yesterday.

And they said, we sent you a new card.

And I said, yeah, but can't I carry on

using my card? Because I'm in Thailand

now. They said, no, we've deactivated it

and we can't reactivate it. So I messaged

my mum. My mum says she cut the card in

half so no one can use it. I said,

what do you mean? Who's going to use it?

She said, in case someone steals it.

Okay, so someone's going to break into our

house, find my new card, and then start

using it. Oh my God. I don't understand

how my mum's brain works. Just hide it.

Like, hide it in an envelope in a

cupboard. How would anyone find it? So now

I got to phone the bank again and say,

hey, my mum cut the card up you sent me.

Can you send me another one? I asked my

mum to send it to me in the post. She said

no, because it's dangerous. Someone might

steal it in the post. How is it any

different if she sends it to me in the

post compared to my bank sending it to me

in the post. So I don't know,

I have to wait until December until I go

back to go and pick it up, I guess, or ask

my bank to send it to me in Thailand.

I've still got my other bank card, so it's

not a big problem. Plus I'm going to make

a Thai bank account.

I'll make a Thai bank account when I get

my visa. Because I'm— I have to pay so

much transaction fees every time I take

out money from the ATM. I have to pay like

220 baht, which is £5 every

time I take money out. £5, £5, £5. It's

insane. So I'm going to make a Thai bank

So I don't know what to do about my bank.

I don't know why my mum thinks it's a good

idea to cut card in half. No one's gonna

steal it. You think someone's gonna break

into the house just to steal my bank card?

The only reason they'd do that is if they

think I'm like a millionaire. You think

people are gonna risk going to jail to

steal from me? I've got like £500 in my

bank account.

It's annoying because I want to go into

the city today after the stream and go and

buy the ROG Ally, and,

um, that costs 31,000 baht, like $900.

I've only got 8,000 baht in cash. I can

only take out 20,000 baht a day before I

reach my limit. I used to take out 20K on

each card. Now I can only take out 20K

That means I'll have 28K, which is not

enough to buy the ROG Ally. I have to wait

until tomorrow, 24 hours until the limit

reset. Why is there a stupid daily limit?

Just let me take out how much I want.

Yeah, I'm gonna buy the ROG Ally because I

believe, uh, I could get views on it.

Like, the Switch OLED and Steam Deck

videos got me big views. Hoping that the

ROG Ally would get me some big views. And

so we walked around Bangkok for hours last

Friday after we went to immigration and we

went to electronic shops. No one is

selling it. But then we found this one

shop. This guy said he's going to get

some, some ROG Ally stock today. He's

imported some from America. And he said

that I could sell it back to him for like

27,000 baht, which is like $600,

$700, $800. So my plan

is I buy it from him for $900,

I make the videos, and then I sell it back

to him for $800, and then I lose maybe

$100. So at the bare minimum, I need the

videos to make me $100 or $150 to break

even. I think that's easy because

that's like, what, 30,000, 40,000 views?

I reckon I can get 40,000 views off the

ROG Ally. I'll do an unboxing, a review,

why it sucks, do not buy, why regret,

versus the Switch OLED, versus the Steam

Deck. I made like a load of videos. I

reckon I could make at least 100 to 150,

and then maybe I'll be able to make more

Maybe I'll keep it. I don't know if I

really want it,

but then if I sell it, I got to write that

on my taxes as income, don't I? So I'll

write off the ROG Ally as an expense, and

then also I have to declare that I made

profit, which is dumb because I actually

lost money. I didn't make any profit. So

what do I do about that? If I buy

something to make a video about and then I

sell it, do I have to declare that as

profit because I sold it? It's a bit

weird, isn't it? Also, it says my bank

account, I got £5,000 from my trading

accounts, which they're gonna think is

profit. It's not profit because I put

money into my trading accounts and then I

took it out. I didn't make any money. I

haven't made any money off stocks. I lost

like £11,000.

So I'm not sure. The only good thing that

came from paying the £150 for the tax

accountant is I'm now asking him a lot of

questions. So I basically want him for

advice, not to do my taxes.

He said, yeah, I can Write off games,

tech, anything I buy for the channel can

count as an expense. I told him I'm a

YouTuber, I make videos about tech and

Capital losses can be used to offset your

taxes. Yeah, I'm not sure about that

because I don't know how to calculate it.

I guess I just screenshot my trading

account and show that it says minus

£12,000. What does that mean?

It's hard to calculate because it's like

you bought BNGO £100, £200, £500,

£1,000. I must have, I think I bought

£30,000 of BNGO stock, but I kept buying

it and then selling it at a loss. It says

like you bought BNGO for £1,000. You sold

it for £900 and then I bought it again the

next week. I don't know what I was doing.

Bought 500, sold 450. Bought 1,000, sold

900. It's so hard to calculate it. It will

take ages. There's like 50 individual

transactions on BNGO alone. Why can't

it just add it all up for me?

Plus, I made my tax losses in 2021,

not 2020, so it wouldn't count anyway for

2020.

If you ask the ROG Ally seller if you can

get the money in cash, do you have to

write it off as income? Uh,

yeah, but a lot of people in Thailand do

cash transactions. To avoid tax because

there's no proof. That's why, you know,

the gypsies in England, the Irish people,

they do all their business in cash so they

don't have to report it. Maybe I'll

just like, I don't know if I get a Thai

bank account and then put my earnings,

change my bank account details to my Thai

bank account. So I get my earnings in my

Thai bank account. Then do I have to

declare that? I don't know, to the UK. If

I'm in Thailand for years and years, that

means I'm not living in the UK anymore.

Yeah, I guess I'll ask my tax guy.

Can't I just give him my login details and

then get him to add it up? I can't be

Oh yeah, you might have noticed my

paintings are gone. I sold it to that

Danny Collins guy. I had to go to the post

office on Friday. It cost me $30 for

postage for express delivery tracked.

Good thing he gave me like $250 because

$30 gone. I def— if I'm gonna do more

paintings, I have to charge at least, at

least like $70 so I make at least the

money back from the postage and make a bit

I don't know if anyone else would like to

buy a painting. I'm thinking of sketching

out my house and then trying to paint

something more complicated instead of just

random mountains and trees.

Yeah, so I don't know what to do. Maybe my

mum will lend me like £5,000 or something.

If they let me pay monthly installments

over like 10 years, I don't care. It's

like £100 a month. Renounce your UK

citizenship. Yeah, get Thai citizenship.

Thai citizenship sucks cuz you need a visa

to go anywhere and you can't— you can go

to Japan for 2 weeks max.

Thai passport is really weak.

Oh, thanks Dave Flying Reporter. I don't

know, report it for tax,

tax expense.

Do you have a deadline to pay? I'm not

sure because

I'm waiting for them to reply to me with

my penalties. I wrote up an email. I said,

I am sorry, I made a mistake, I was

careless, I accept any penalties.

I also said that I was living in

Rotterdam. What else?

And I also said I bought an iPhone. Can

that be a tax expense? They said, I

noticed you have not made any tax

expenses, please let me know now. So I

said, okay, iPhone 12 Mini. I use that for

my vlogs, I use that for video editing, I

use it to manage my business. I'm pretty

sure it's like a business expense. Give

your stepdaddies a little suck and make it

nice and wet. Oh, come on, don't be

Disgusting. Start from the beginning. Oh

my God, okay, I start from the beginning.

Everything I just said for the first 30

minutes— can't just rewind. You know

you can rewind on YouTube.

I thought you blocked your mum. I

unblocked her. Oh my

I just— I feel so demotivated to work hard

for money now because it's like the harder

you work for more money, the more you get

taxed. So what's the point? I might as

well have just made less money and got

less tax. You're boring now in your

streams. You used to be funny and say

crazy things. No wonder you are losing

viewers and owe taxes. What crazy things

did I say? What, like Chihiro has a small

bum? Or Chihiro is boring? What? I don't

understand what you guys thought was so

crazy and wild about my life back then.

It's weird because to me, my life now is

basically the same as it was back then.

But your guys' perception of my life is

now— back then it was exciting and

amazing. Now it is boring because of

Thailand. It's exactly the same.

I don't get what you don't get. I'm living

in an Asian country. I sit in the

apartment all day. I play video games and

make videos. That's exactly the same as

when I was married in Japan. But when I

was married in Japan, everyone's like, Oh

my god, Daniel's life is so full of drama.

Oh my god, he's like this crazy guy from

the UK who lives in Japan and cheats on

his wife. Oh my god, drama, drama, drama.

It's— it's just because the way I

portrayed my life back then, that was

pretty different to how I'm portraying it

now. It's exactly the same.

It's just I'm not making these

10-minute videos about why my wife sucks.

Why I want to have an orgy with my wife

and her friend? It's just because I'm not

doing that stuff anymore because there's

no point. It gets demonetized. It will

make my girlfriend cry. It will make like

10K views. There's no point in doing it.

Like, oh, I got kicked out of my wife's

place. You used to talk about Willys and

getting sucked off in the park by the

Japanese guy. Yeah, so? I'm not gonna

talk about the same story over and over

again. I did

talk about it when the manager guy

reported my video. I had a big rant about

it.

You just admitted to cheating on your

girlfriend? Yeah, I did cheat on my

girlfriend. Remember the Korean girl in

Japan? It's not a secret.

The only difference is I didn't make a

video about it. So I don't make a video

about it and no one cares, but I mention

it on stream and everyone's like, oh,

okay. I don't understand. It's like, oh,

I got canceled, a massive backlash from

big YouTubers like Elvisadian because I

made a short video about cheating or

whatever that got a couple hundred

thousand views. And I was known for being

a cheater and crazy and a scumbag. But now

this time, because I didn't make a video,

it's like no one cares because nothing

went viral. Isn't it stupid how YouTube

works? Like, people only care if the video

goes viral, and then they will like,

I don't know, like try and cancel you or

something. All we asked is for you to talk

about Willys and Well,

maybe later.

Where's that dono goal? Maybe I'll

do like a tax goal. Change this SIM cards

goal. 753 tax

I need to pay goal amount.

It would be like $18,000.

Does it even go that big?

$18,753.

When are we going to end that?

Tax year April 06,

2024. That's probably when I need to pay

That's insane,

18,250.

Oh wait, where'd it go? Oh, there it is.

So we've got 2, 2 goals. We got the bottom

goal for Super Chats, we've got the top

goal for PayPal donations. By the way,

YouTube takes 30% of Super Chats,

so if you want to do a big dono, I would

really prefer prefer it. Oh,

thanks, Blood Bucket. Yeah, I screwed

up big time. Yes, talk about bullies and

bumholes again. That's all we are asking

for, my tribal chief. So I don't want to

beg, but if you're gonna make a big dono,

I would like it if you use the Streamlabs

link in the description because YouTube

will take 30%. PayPal only takes like 4 or

3%. So when I sold the painting for $250,

PayPal only took $7. YouTube would have

taken $80. That is

insane. I've lost like 30% of my donos

when I could have had that for tax.

But yeah, if you don't want to use the

PayPal and you prefer Super Chats, That's

fine too. I'm just, you know, letting you

Uh, it is in the description, isn't it?

Just to check.

Yes, description,

streamlabs.com/danielhjmr.

Maybe I should change the description so

it just says TTS. Turn off Super Chats.

I don't know, Terry TV told me to do that

too, but then I think the people who would

only do Super Chats won't be able to Super

Chat anymore. PayPal donations.

Here.

Yeah, I saw xQc is moving to Kick. I can't

believe it. $100— he's getting paid $100

million. Imagine the tax on that. Jesus

Christ, he's gonna have to pay half of

that to tax, you know. I don't know what

the tax bracket is for $100 million. It's

probably like 50%. He's going to make 50

million. Are you going to Kick? I did

think about it, but I stream

on Twitch and no one donates, and people

don't want to come from YouTube to a new—

I think most of you guys don't even know

what Kick is. So let, let me do like a

poll. If you guys would come to Kick, I

would love to do Kick, because then So I

think Kick is better for you guys because

there's no ads. Kick doesn't have ads, so

I can swear and be vulgar and talk

about like the most heinous cereal.

I don't have to keep saying cereal. My

streams keep getting demonetized recently,

by the way, because I keep swearing. So

I'm having to censor myself heavily by not

swearing a lot and not talking about

vulgar things too much. But if I was on

Kick, I would have no restrictions because

there's no demonetization on Kick.

Biggest willy you ever put up your

bumhole? I haven't put any willies up my

bumhole yet. Wait,

let me do a poll. Start a poll.

Do you know what kick.com

is? Okay,

let me know.

So I think for you guys it'll be better to

watch on Kick because there's no ads. I

will be completely unrestricted because I

don't have to worry about demonetization.

And the bonus of Kick is if you subscribe

to me for $5, I will get 95% of

that money instead of like 30%

on Twitch. Or 70% on YouTube.

YouTube takes 30 or 40%.

Yeah, the UK's stupid. They tax you so

much, they come to your house if you just

say kind of edgy stuff on the internet.

But I'm not going to Kick because I think

most of you guys won't come. I would get

maybe 20 viewers on Kick. And then I don't

think anyone's actually gonna subscribe to

me because no one, no one even subs to me

on Twitch. I'll stream for like 6 hours

and not get anything. The only reason I do

Twitch is because I get ads on Twitch and

I make some money from the ads. So I

don't know if I would go to Kick from

Twitch because there's no ads, so I'd get

like no subs, no ads, I'd make nothing.

So yeah, I can't really see myself going

to Kick unless I could grow on Kick, but I

don't think I'd grow on Kick because I

don't really have content anymore that can

grow the channel.

When Tico Sam streams on Kick, he gets

very low viewers. Yeah, you would only get

a percentage of your viewers to come over

to a new website. So when I made my

Twitch, I was getting 600 viewers on

YouTube, but then on Twitch I'd get like

80 to 100 viewers. That was back in 2018

and '19. Now I get about 100 viewers on

YouTube, I get like 10 or 20 viewers on

Twitch. So if I then further

dilute that by going to Kick, it'll be

like 10 viewers. I reckon I get under 10

viewers on Kick.

So it's not really worth it. I don't have

a big enough community to make a move.

But damn, Kick— if Kick's getting xQc and

Kaisinet and all these big streamers from

Twitch to come over, these guys get like

50k viewers. And Twitch is really shooting

itself in the foot recently. They're now

saying they're not allowing streamers to

promote sponsorship deals and burnt-in ads

on their videos and streams, which a lot

of Twitch streamers rely on to make money.

I saw GreekGodX on Kick. He only got a

couple hundred viewers when he gets a

couple thousand on Twitch. So it's like

you get 10% of your viewership by moving.

A lot of people think, oh, this Kick thing

looks kind of weird, so they won't Trust

I'm a super chatter, so if you go to Kick,

say bye. Yeah, I have to stay on YouTube

for blood.

I prefer YouTube because I get more

viewers. I don't want to go on Kick and

have like 5 viewers. That would just be

I'm a super chatter, so if you go to Kick,

say bye to BB,

that's okay. I appreciate the Super Chats,

although imagine if I could get 95% of it.

That would be pretty good.

You have to choose one platform only.

Well, because I grew on— I built my

channel on YouTube, it makes sense to stay

on YouTube.

Also, the other problem with Kick is you

can't rewind the stream. Which is

annoying. I like being able to rewind

streams and pause streams because I'd

watch Ice Poseidon on YouTube because I

can pause it, go and do some cooking or

something, and then come back. On Kick,

you can't pause it. You can, but then when

you press resume, it will just skip to the

current point in the stream.

Ice gets 10K on Kick. Yeah, because

Trainwrecks is promoting him and putting

him on the front page. Trainwrecks and Ice

are friends. They used to hang out back in

the day and they were good buddies. Back

when Ice was the top dog on Twitch,

everyone sucked up to Ice, including

Trainwrecks. And now

Trainwrecks is like multimillionaire. I

think he owns Kick, or he has like part

ownership in Kick. So Trainwrecks has

massive promoting power, and obviously

he's going to promote his best buddy Nice.

And they're all in the same boat. They've

all— a lot of them have been banned on

Twitch. They're like degen streamers that

got canceled. They're all going to Kick

now. A lot of people hate

Twitch. I like Twitch because I get a lot

of ad revenue on it.

It's funny, people kept saying I would get

banned on Twitch straight away because of

the stuff I say, but But I have never had

any problems on Twitch, but I constantly

have problems on YouTube. Like, I'll say

the F word and then I'll get demonetized.

Yeah, I could do both, but what I've— I've

done both. I've multi-streamed Twitch and

YouTube at the same time. What happens is

I get no viewers on Twitch because they're

all watching on YouTube. I'll get like 5

viewers on Twitch. There's no point. The

only point would be if I had a separate

Twitch audience, which I don't. My

audience is you guys, the same people.

So I can't dilute my

viewership and then think, oh, I get 100

here, 100 on Kick. Doesn't work like that.

There'd be a big audience view on Kick.

I don't know,

because Homeless, Slightly Homeless, hung

out with Ice and did IRL streaming, and he

only gets like 100 to 200 viewers.

Only Sam Pepper gets a lot of views, and

Suspenders and Joel get a couple thousand,

but they're constantly hanging out with

Ice. I don't want to do that, it's boring.

Can you imagine just following Ice around

all day for week after week, just walking

around the streets doing dumb stuff? That

sounds so stressful and boring. I want to

play Diablo and geek out on Tekken. I

don't want to walk around the streets for

all day long doing stupid— I hate IRL. I

like to watch IRL, but I don't want to do

it.

IRL is like the highest effort, most

stressful way of streaming. You got tech

problems, you got weird people coming up

to you potentially. It's not a fun

environment to streaming— stream in.

Yeah, it's funny, Kick is using Amazon AWS

for hosting, same as Twitch, isn't it?

Yeah, Amazon owns Twitch and obviously

Amazon Web Services, so it's like

Amazon is the god and their love child is

Twitch, but now they've got this new kid

who is younger and trendier, and now

they're gonna have to pick. Well, they're

not really gonna have to pick, they'll

just have like both platforms making the

It's like having— it's like having a

parent got 2 kids, and then the, the

parent is making the 2 kids fight each

other, and the, the parent's saying,

okay, you fight out, and then the

determine who's the strongest. It's kind

of funny.

I think I would be bored trying to stream

on Kick because I only, I only have fun on

YouTube when I'm getting Views. I mean,

it's all about numbers. You— that's why I

keep saying, you say— see YouTubers say

all the time, oh, I love making videos,

it's so fun. Yeah, it's only fun because

you're getting views. How fun would it be

if you got like 2 viewers? It wouldn't be

fun at all. You'd just probably not do it

Like, CDawgVA Connor says— oh, I'm sorry,

passionate. I love streaming. Yeah,

because you get 10,000 viewers. I love to

see Connor say, oh, it's so fun streaming

when you only got 20 viewers. It's not fun

at all. Boring.

I had a lot of fun back in the day because

I had so much exposure, and then as I got

less, it just became less fun.

What would you do if you see Chi-Chi and

Midna naked making out? Film it

maybe for afterwards use.

I think I have a very niche style of

streaming where you kind of have to be

invested in me and know my

life story to care about it. It's very

hard to have a newcomer to the channel and

not alienate them because they'll

just see me and be like, who the hell is

this guy? And then I'll say something and

then they'll just click off because they

didn't like what I said.

So I think I'm like an acquired taste. If

you keep eating, and even though it tastes

gross and bitter at first, if you keep

eating, then you might get used to it

and see the appeal of my channel.

What's the tax drama?

They found out that I didn't pay enough

tax and now I owe £7,000

plus I don't know what penalties they're

going to charge me. I reckon they're going

to charge me like 100%, maybe 50 or 70%.

Why is the volume so low?

I'm not doing OF anymore.

It's not legal.

Do a lore video?

I don't know what I'd say. And why, why

would people care? It only hooks people in

with the big drama headlines like Oh, my

wife cooked me up. Now there's none of

that happening anymore. There's no big

flashy titles to draw people in.

Got to report your premium Super Chats.

Snapchats? Do you mean Super Chats? No,

because that would just all come in as

income from Google.

It will tell my bank statement. Google

paid you XXX, that XXX

amount has the Super Chats in it included.

Yeah, I mean, this mic stand would be a

tax deductible. What else?

Gaming mouse. When did I buy the gaming

mouse? Because I use my mouse to manage my

Yeah, if someone like SunnyV2 made a video

about me, the rise and fall. But the sad

thing is I never even got big enough for

anyone to care to make a rise and fall

video. But they don't really give you

traffic anyway. I mean, look at Boogie's

channel, it's still dead. And people

making videos about Boogie get millions of

views. But they don't go to Boogie's

channel, do they? The only time Boogie got

views is when he drew a gun on someone on

his— someone trespassed on his property

and he threatened to shoot them. That got

big views. And then he got big, big views

with his cancer video. But anything Boogie

usually makes just won't get views unless

it's drama. The only way a dead channel

can make big views again is by either

saying they've got cancer, which I'm not

going to do. I think, you know,

people who actually have cancer, I don't

know if any of you guys have suffered from

cancer or maybe you got a relative who you

lost from cancer. If I sat here and made a

video saying, oh, I got cancer, I think

you guys would be really upset. So I'm not

going to do that because

I think it would be self-destructive more

than beneficial. So saying you got cancer,

like Hank, the Vlogbrothers, got like,

I don't know, millions of views recently

by announcing he has cancer. Cancer,

divorce, saying you're going to quit

YouTube, stuff like that is the only

way a dead channel gets views anymore.

Making regular content is not going to get

views. Because no one's going to watch it.

I would love to shave my head and just

make a video saying I've got cancer, but

that's taking it a bit too far.

I get worried I get in trouble as well,

like a strike for misleading.

Wow. My brain is just buzzing right now.

I feel like I got a massive dopamine rush

from just ranting about all that.

Even Daniel has standards. Well, it's

basically, it's not standards. It's I'm

scared of losing what I have left.

And getting in trouble on YouTube.

Otherwise, I'd be like, screw it, I'll

just do it for the lulz.

Nikocado Avocado is the biggest internet

troll. I can't think of anyone else who's

bigger. Maybe CopperCab back in the day.

But it's funny because everyone takes him

so seriously, but he's obviously trolling

and playing this character where he's like

fat, disgusting American. And he makes

those stupid faces and he speaks in that

silly voice. He knows it triggers people

and he's doing everything he can to

trigger people. That's what I did. When

you have a massive audience that hate

watch you, the wisest thing to

do is keep triggering them. So I kept

doing stuff like, oh, I hate Chihiro.

She's such a stupid wife. She put my

carrots in the fridge and wrapped it up.

And made me wash the rice. I hate her.

Like, I did everything I possibly could to

bait and trigger the hate viewers with

just making videos showing how much of a

scummy husband I was. And it worked. It

worked beautifully until I got divorced

and I couldn't do anymore.

But I milked the hell out of the marriage.

Even 2 years after the divorce, I'm still

milking it like, oh, why I miss Jahira,

why I regret getting divorced. Course.

It's so dumb cuz it works. I know people

hate watching me, so I'm going to trigger—

I'm going to, uh, what's the word, bait

them by just triggering them by telling

them, oh yeah, I'm a scumbag, hate me more

please.

But it kind of stopped working now cuz

they got fed up. I guess they either

caught on to what I was doing or they just

It's the same as that other fat woman.

What's her name? There's a fat

American woman who just eats and eats and

gets a lot of hate watchers. I forgot her

name, but she'll just keep

baiting the viewers saying, oh, I'm

depressed because I keep getting fat. And

then she'll say, I'm Okay, this time I'm

gonna go on a diet. I promise you guys I'm

going to lose weight. I feel so motivated.

And then next video, oh, I ate 5 pizzas.

Yes. Yeah, Amberlynn Reid. These people

are massive trolls. They know exactly what

they're doing. They know people hate

watching them and some are watching them

to see if they improve or not and they

want train wreck content and they're just

baiting them. It's so easy to bait an

audience. That only want trainwreck

content. Because you know what they

want. I knew my audience wanted trainwreck

content, so I gave it to them. So yeah, I

know you guys want me to— want to see me

get kicked out. You want to see me get

broken up with, dumped. So I'll just

fake this stuff and feed it to you like

you're a bunch of cattle in a shed until

you either realize what I'm doing or I run

out of stuff to shovel to you and nothing

works anymore. I don't do the ex-wife

videos anymore because it only gets 10K

views and it's not worth it. I get more

views making videos about Diablo.

So I will exhaust the trainwreck

hate watch viewers until it doesn't work

anymore, and then just— there's no point

doing it anymore. So I'm just gonna be me,

be normal, talk about real stuff that's

I think now I'm just gonna focus on

streaming and gaming because I can't be

bothered to put effort into a video and

then it gets 5K views and makes like $20.

I can't be bothered. I can't think of any

more ways to clickbait my marriage. I

think it's completely dry.

Chihiro doesn't respond anymore, so I

can't keep making drama about it.

Yeah, sushi video. Yeah, it got like 20K

views. But how

many videos can I make? Just one or two.

Show girlfriend to get more views. Yeah,

I could do like a face reveal, get her to

make a video or two, but it'll just make

like $50 or $100. I can't be bothered. I

don't want to have to rely on my

girlfriend to get views. It's— and then

I'd— you know what I don't want to have to

do is have to deal with the emotional,

the emotional breakdown that she could

potentially have if people are not nice to

her. I just, I don't want to have to deal

with her crying and being upset.

Like, I could make a, make a video,

but I would have to heavily moderate the

comments because I

know there's going to be people saying

stuff like, oh, your girlfriend's ugly.

Oh, your girlfriend is like an uglier

version of Chie. They're going to say all

this crap, aren't they?

And then she's gonna cry, and then I have

to comfort her, and then she'll probably

be like, oh, can you take down the video?

I didn't realize your viewers are so

horrible. Yeah, my viewers are gonna say

messed up stuff. Like, did you know Daniel

did this? Did you know that? So I'm gonna

have to turn the comments off or

something. I don't know. And then if I

thought maybe I could do a livestream with

her, but then I can't. I can't moderate

the comments live before they get shown.

And then people are going to do

text-to-speech and say stuff like,

they're going to say it before I get the

chance to hide it. And then she's going to

see it and then she's going to cry. And

then that's going to be drama. And then

the trolls would all come back trying to

get her to cry. She cries very easily. So

I'm just thinking it's not worth it. I

don't want the headache of having to

comfort her, and then she's gonna be like,

oh, can you take it down? Didn't realize,

like, stupid Mila cried like a baby.

I hate it people say, oh yeah, I'll make a

video for you, Daniel, and then next

moment they're like, oh, actually, can you

take it down?

No, I can't be bothered. It's just

a headache, a hassle. And what I'll get—

maybe, maybe I'll get nearly 200 viewers

on a livestream, but it's
