How I got rid of my acne

I need to tell you something. I haven't

been completely honest about something

about me, and I want to tell you what that

is in today's video. So I get asked a lot

of questions, and one of the questions I

get asked often is, how do I get my skin

to look so clean and clear? How did I get

rid of my pimples? How did I get rid of my

acne? And the honest truth is I

never got rid of my acne, and I don't have

clear, clean skin. I use beauty

filters. I used low

bitrate resolutions when I upload my

videos. I bump up the brightness to hide

imperfections. And because of this, when I

upload videos to YouTube, The resolution

isn't good enough to be able to tell what

my skin actually looks like. So, um,

I'm going to reveal to you what my skin

actually looks like right now. Don't be

too shocked, don't be too horrified. If

you want to unsubscribe and stop watching

my videos, I totally understand.

So, um, yeah, let's,

let's, um, Let's do this. So for

the first time ever, I'm going to reveal

my true identity. I'm going to show you

what my face actually looks like with no

beauty filters. I just felt like I needed

to do this, so here we go.

So this is what I look like without any

beauty filters turned on, without the

brightness bumped up. I've always felt

very insecure about my skin ever since the

age of 16. I've had lots of pimples, lots

of spots. I used to have huge outbreaks

when I was 19 or 18. And I used to

hate it. I used to feel so embarrassed

about it. It used to affect my confidence

a lot. Every time I had lots of pimples,

I used to hate going outside. I hated

people looking at my face. And I

have lots of scars from all the years of

popping them, squeezing them, poking them

with needles. And yeah, it's really

affected my confidence. And I think it's

the thing I dislike most about my physical

appearance. If I could change anything

about my face, I guess I would wish for

nice clear skin.

I've tried using those anti-pimple spot

creams, lotions, treatment things in the

past, and they never worked. They never

made any difference. I still got loads of

pimples even if I used those expensive

products. And right now all I do is I

splash some water on my face and then I

wipe it off with a towel, and then I use

some moisturizing cream. And I have less

pimples now than I've ever had before.

So, um, yeah, that's all I had to say

about my face. I hope you still like me.

Um, I know it's not as pretty as it

used to be or what you thought it was,

but this is what I really look like. And

if you really want to know me as a person

without all the fakeness or the filters,

then this is who I am. This is

what, what I have to work with, and you

can either take it or you can leave it.

It's up to you, I guess.

This is stupid. I don't even know why I

bought this stupid camera in the first

place. Oh, and I have something that I'd

like to ask you. I need a favor. Um, you

might have heard of it already. YouTube

have introduced new rules where you need

to have over 1,000 subscribers and you

need 4,000 hours of watch time if you want

to monetize your videos. And my main

channel, Hiding in My Room, is perfectly

okay. I have, I have over 100,000 hours of

watch time for this year, for the past

year, so I'm okay. But my second channel,

Daniel Senpai, where I do livestreaming

and I upload random crap,

it only has 570 subscribers and it only

has 700 hours of watch time. So it

would be really nice if you could go over

to that channel and subscribe to it and

watch all of my videos and just leave it

playing on in the background so I can get

4,000 hours. And then I can get AdSense

on my videos. I currently make about $2.91

on that channel, and it would really suck

if I lost that ad revenue. And I have

until February 21st until my partner

program gets terminated, so that's

how long I have until I need to get those

subscribers and 4,000 watch time hours.

So yeah, click on the link, I'll leave it

in the description below. And watch me

when I livestream because it's so

much fun and very exciting. Even though

it's freezing cold right now, I have the

heating turned off because guess how much

the electric bill was for this month?

Yep, it was $100, nearly ¥10,000,

because I've had the heating on all day

and I don't leave the apartment and it

gets pretty expensive, so Trying to keep

this turned off as much as I can because

it does start to— does start to get very

expensive.

The battery just ran out, didn't last

very long. So in case you were wondering,

I bought a new camera. This is the camera

I bought. It's a Canon G5X and

really need to buy a new camera, my

phone's camera is fine, but I was just

feeling really bored and I wanted to buy

something new, and I like cameras. I think

it's a really nice camera. It has an f/1.8

lens, which is very good. It has a

viewfinder, a flippy-out screen.

The screen flips out to the side instead

of on top because there's, there's a

viewfinder which blocks, blocks the top

part of the camera. Um, the only thing I'm

a bit unhappy about with this is the audio

doesn't sound great. For example, when I

was in the kitchen earlier, it was very

echoey, and when I took a video using my

phone in the kitchen, the audio sounded so

much better on my phone, and Um,

I'm also a bit unhappy with the battery

life. The battery does run out very

quickly.

So I guess if I wanted to buy a camera

that had good audio quality, I would need

to buy something that's more expensive and

also buy an external microphone. This has

a hot shoe, but there's no microphone for

it. You can only use an external flash on

that hot shoe, which is kind of stupid.

So I'm not sure if I'm going to continue

making videos using the Canon camera, or

if I should just go back to using this

camera. This camera's fine, and it makes

me look better. Also, the sound sounds

100% better than the Canon. Did I waste

money buying that camera? Did I really

need to buy that? No. Oh great,

here comes buyer's remorse. Maybe I can

just use it for photography. I can just

use it for taking photos. Maybe I could

just use it for making cinematic-looking

videos for my vlogs and then use my

phone for my face. I don't know anymore.

Also, can you tell that I'm really trying

to stretch this video out to 10 minutes

because I have absolutely nothing else to

say and nothing interesting at all is

happening in my life right now? And I just

feel so incredibly bored with my life

right now, I felt like I needed to buy A

fancy camera, which I didn't really need.

There is absolutely nothing interesting

happening in my life right now,

and I don't know what to make videos

about. I don't have any more content.

Um, I've gone back to livestreaming

because I don't know what to make videos

about. I've already said that like 4

times. It's weird, sometimes it feels like

if I buy myself something new I'll feel

happy. But then I buy it, and then I'm

happy for about a day, and then after a

day is gone, I feel the same as I did

before I bought it, and I just feel like I

regret buying it. I feel like I've wasted

money buying something that I didn't

really need to buy. Also, it's very

difficult to hold that camera because the

screen flips out to the side. It makes it

very awkward holding it with one hand,

and it's very heavy. It's just so much

easier to use my phone to make videos. I

don't know why I bought it. Should I

return it? Should I just refund it? I

could just pack it back up into the box.

I don't know. I didn't buy it from the

official Amazon marketplace. I bought it

from some independent seller.

I guess I could just keep it. What's the

harm in keeping it? It's not like I'm

desperate for that money. It's not like

not having the money that I spent on that

camera is gonna make me go homeless. I can

afford to buy a nice camera. Of course I

can afford it. I just don't know if I can

justify it. Maybe you regret buying it

now, but maybe later you'll be thankful

that you have a nice camera. Maybe I'll

be able to use it for something

interesting later. Who knows? Are we at 10

minutes yet?
