[2022-12-29] Why 2022 was TERRIBLE [DoVvYJ4xcwY]

Uh, okay, so today,

um, last stream of 2022, end of year

review.

I can't stream all day today because my

girlfriend said because today's her last

day at work for this year, she has like a

half day. And I asked her what time she's

coming home. She said it's a surprise,

so I don't know when she's coming home.

I'm guessing around lunchtime. It's kind

of annoying. Why can't she just tell me

when she's coming home?

And she's not working tomorrow because

it's— I don't know why, it's not even the

last day of the year. I mean, it is the

very last weekday of the year.

Is it? I thought Monday was the last day

of the year. Oh no,

Saturday is the last day of the year.

Why doesn't she go to work tomorrow? Oh my

God, I never dated someone who takes so

many damn days off work.

So irritating. Chihiro never took days off

work like this. Chihiro always went to

work every day and came home in

the evening. Why does this girlfriend

always seem to take Friday off? Oh,

it's so annoying because I want to stream.

And then yesterday she said she was going

to buy me a Burger King. She came home and

there was no Burger King. I said, where's

the Burger King? She says she hasn't

ordered it yet. So I had to wait 20

minutes for her to order it and for it to

arrive. And then she got me the wrong

thing. I said I wanted a Whopper and she

got me a Whopper Jr. She got me 2 Whopper

Juniors, but a Whopper Jr. is not the same

as the Whopper.

God, can't do anything right. If you

have to do something, you gotta do it

yourself, I guess. Why didn't she just

order the Burger King when she was in the

car, like 20 minutes before she arrived?

And then I was on my phone scrolling on

Facebook, and then she suddenly like

floats over to me and then sees what I'm

looking at, and I quickly tried to close

it. But then iPhone is annoying because

when you're in an app and you swipe up,

it doesn't take you back to the home

screen, it just closes the app, takes you

back to the folder you're in. So then she

sees the Facebook app icon and then she

says, oh, I thought you didn't use

Facebook, because I told her I don't use

Facebook because I was worried she might

say, can I add you on Facebook? Which I

can't add her on Facebook because it says

my name on it. So now she knows I got

Facebook just because I was scrolling on

it for like 2 seconds. I hate it when she

goes over behind me and then looks at what

I'm doing on my phone. Mind your own damn

business. So irritating.

It's like I can't do anything I want to do

because of the risk she might suddenly

walk behind me and then look at what I'm

doing. Can't people stop

being so damn nosy all the time?

It was just some silly like TikTok video

of someone falling over that I watched.

I hate people looking at what I'm doing.

I wish they made phones where only you can

see what's on the screen and to everyone

else it's just like a black screen.

So I haven't showered or brushed my teeth

or anything because I don't have time.

I'll do it later.

So now it's like I sit here looking at my

phone, but then she like comes from the

kitchen or the bedroom, which is over

there, and then she like walks behind me.

So now I need to sit like this, like that,

so she can never come behind me. Oh, look

at the back of my head, it's like Sasuke

hair. Yeah, I need to cut my hair,

but I think it looks kind of cool like

this. Back to 2017 anime

hairstyle.

Oh, thanks, King.

Not exist. What doesn't

exist in 2023?

2023, I'm going to Vietnam and also Japan,

hopefully.

Oh yeah, New Year resolution. I could do

that at the end of the year review.

Actually, that could be a whole video,

actually. My New Year resolution.

Make some NY resolutions for us to revisit

at EOI. Yeah, it would be interesting,

like MrBeast. He does those message to

myself in 10 years' time, and then he

makes the video public after 10 years.

And we could look back at my New Year's

resolution, but my New Year's resolution

is going to be boring. It's just going to

be like Make more money,

stop channel from dying completely.

Looking forward to your stock portfolio

updates. Yeah, I think next year I'm gonna

be rich because I got some pretty good

stocks. That I feel pretty good about.

Which country was easiest for you to get

girls? Definitely Japan. If you're a very

quiet, sheepish kind of guy, then Japan is

really great because, because that's what

Japanese girls like. And you look at Ice

right now in Japan, he's struggling

because he's really loud and aggressive.

And girls and people don't like that in

Japan. They like very quiet and shy

people. Being shy is actually considered

attractive in Japan, so it completely

works to my advantage. Yeah,

I've been watching a lot of Ice in Japan

recently.

What's in Vietnam?

In Vietnam, I have to go to Vietnam

because I have to leave Thailand and I

have to go somewhere, and I'm not going to

Laos or Cambodia. I don't

want to go to Malaysia again, so I chose

Vietnam as the country to reset my tourist

visa, and then back to Thailand for more

exciting life in Thailand videos. I kind

of hope I'm gonna get denied entry. I'm so

bored of Thailand. I can't do anything.

My girlfriend's starting to get kind of

annoying. We barely do anything. She just

goes to work and then goes to sleep,

which is fine because I need her to be at

work. But then she doesn't

go to work enough, and I can never— I

don't feel like I can do what I want to

And there's just— this relationship is

providing nothing for the channel. It's

not, it's not helping the channel at all.

The date videos don't get views. The live—

the streams outside don't get views,

the videos outside don't get views. I

mean, nothing gets views from this whole

Thailand thing. I'd get more views

probably if I just stayed at home in my

So content-wise, Thailand is not really

helping my ultimate goal.

Just to try to revive my dead channel.

My top 3 favorite videos of my— of myself

on YouTube that are public? Definitely

Elden Ring is my proudest video,

and then my Steam Deck videos did really

well, so I'm pretty proud of those.

And I think my Japanese slum video is

pretty good.

Okay, so 2022.

Was not entirely rubbish, had quite a lot

of virals actually. And before people

start saying, why'd you call it a viral

when it only gets a couple hundred K

views? And some stupid idiot in the

comments was telling me that those are not

virals. A viral isn't an objective thing,

it's subjective. It's like fame. What is

fame? Is PewDiePie famous?

I mean, compared to Tom Cruise, he's not

very famous. Me compared to like an

average nobody, I am or was pretty famous.

And, um, what counts as a viral video can

be a million views, but then PewDiePie,

he gets— if PewDiePie gets a million

views, you would think, oh, that's not

viral, that's actually pretty bad for

PewDiePie only getting a million views.

But then if I got a million views, you'd

be like, wow, congrats Dan, you got a

viral. If PewDiePie got 500k

views, that'd be pretty crap for

Some idiot was telling me that my 200k

views is not viral. It is for me. 200k

views for me is a damn lot of views.

There's no such thing as a certain number.

It has to be over a certain number for it

I think a viral video is just the video

that gets a lot of views and gets more

views than you usually get.

Okay, so, um, January. January sucks

because I was in Scotland, wasn't I? The

Scotland, Scotland girl. Was annoying.

She was a stupid idiot. A Scotland girl

tricked me into coming into— tricked me

into coming out of the hotel to meet some

stupid guy called Alan.

They seemed so weird and shady.

I said to her I didn't want to meet other

people, so she said it's just us,

which I thought meant just her and me.

She said it's just going to be us. So I

said okay, left the hotel, and then who do

I see? Some stupid guy wearing a baseball

cap. That was so irritating. Never trick

me into meeting your girlfriend or your

boyfriend. I do not want to meet guys ever

unless it's on my terms and I agree to it.

Don't bring a guy. If you're a girl and

you want to meet me, don't bring a guy. I

don't even want you to bring another girl.

Just come alone.

That was, that was probably the most

irritating thing that happened.

What else happened in January? Oh yeah,

I did that sleeper train. Sleeper train

video flopped and was very expensive.

Cost me like £350.

And then February I went— wait, we got to

give, give the months a score, I think.

So I would give January a

2 out of 10. Yeah, I was also very lonely

in Scotland. Very lonely in

Scotland. Give it a 2 out of 10.

I had a lot of— I had a few dates in

Scotland that didn't really go anywhere,

like that Japanese girl I went on a date

So yeah, January was very bad, and then

February Came back home and,

uh, what else happened in February?

I made some videos like garden cabin

video, didn't I? And then I gave up and

started doing video game stuff. When did I

make the Elden Ring video? Was it March or

Um, wow, I made 20 videos about Elden

Ring. Oh my God,

that was in February. Wow, I made 20

videos about Elden Ring.

I didn't know I made that many.

Came back home, made Elden Ring videos,

uh, massive success. I would give February

a 10 out of 10. Actually, a 10 out of 10

is a bit too good. I'd need a girlfriend

for 10 out of 10. I'd give it an 8 out of

10. It was really good actually,

February. I finally managed to blow my

channel back up for the next few months.

Uh, what else happened in February?

I need to go back on my YouTube library.

February. I also did Do Not Buy Forbidden

West, which was really good. Garden Cabin

Um, actually the sleeper train was in

February. I'll keep

it in January. Video game videos,

viral success. Yeah, February was really

Ah, 4 hours left.

I hope she comes back later, like 2 PM.

If I keep asking her when she's gonna come

back, she might get suspicious and be

like, why do you want to know? I don't

know, so I can plan my day.

How much did I make in February? I think I

made like $2,800.

Let me check.

February— oh no, I made £1,700.

I made £2,400 in March because of Elden

Ring blowing up.

£2,400. Wow, I haven't seen those numbers

since the, uh, marriage days.

But then since June, my channel's only

been making about $800 a month,

but the second channel started blowing up,

so it really helped out.

Uh, March. What happened in March? March

was still good because continued, uh,

viral success. March was really good,

made a lot of money, made like $2,400 in

ad revenue. I also got some sponsors like,

uh, the item Elden Ring item

farming website. Your face looks

bloated. Yeah, I know. Can people stop

telling me every freaking day I do a

stream? It's always, oh, your face looks

bloated. I just woke up like 10 minutes

ago. Give me a break. What do you look

like when you wake up? I bet most of you

don't look great either, but I got to

start streaming as soon as I wake up

before my bloody girlfriend comes home.

Uh, what else? What else happened in

March?

Much, much, much,

much, much, much. I was so wrong about

Elden Ring. It's just like non-stop Elden

Ring videos. I was so wrong about Elden

Ring. Elden Ring needs easy mode. Elden

Ring ultimate Paladin tank build. Elden

Ring insane flaming sword fire build.

Elden Ring strongest tank build. Why I

hate Elden Ring. The views were so good,

it was like 800k, 22k, 170k,

62k. 42k, 100k.

That was like back— going back to when the

channel was popular again. Too bad the

Elden Ring trend died and I had to go back

to making my previous type of content.

But yeah, nothing really happened in March

apart from non-stop Elden Ring videos.

But I think I went on some dates. I think

I went on the Polish woman date in London,

which sucked.

She was kind of ugly. She was— I mean,

she was kind of good-looking, but she had

like very thin hair, very cracked lips.

She was only 36, but she looked like she

was nearly 50. Scandinavian women,

or Polish— she's not really Scandinavian,

but like that part of Europe, the women

there just aged so badly. She was very

white, like very Caucasian, blonde hair,

very fair skin, but she had like a

mustache. I could see like very visible

facial hair when

the sun shone on her face. I could see

very visible mustache.

I met her twice. She didn't want to do

anything. I tried kissing her, but she

moved away.

So I give March probably a 7,

7 out of 10, because the YouTube channel

was booming, but some of these dates kind

of sucked. April, I think I had more

dates in London and British girl— British

girlfriend one who

was really annoying.

That British girlfriend was so irritating,

had to block her after a few months.

April— April was still video games, and

then I went back to— I I tried doing LEGO

Star Wars, see if that would blow up and

be my next game, but it didn't really

work. I did fastest stud

farming guide and how to unlock capital

ship in LEGO Star Wars, and then they only

got 3K views. So I thought, well, I think

I'll go back to my old stuff. I did why I

moved back into my mum's house.

Those videos did well actually, like over

10K views. 13K views. I lost half

those viewers now.

Up until now, I was still getting like

10-13K views. Now I only get about 5 or

6K. I lost half my viewers again, cut in

half by another 50%.

I forgot what happened in April. I think I

was just dating. I'd give April maybe

Yeah, 3 out of 10 because of the videos

started dying again.

Uh, May, I think I met British girlfriend

number 2 who I dated for a few, few

months. Yeah, I only

gained— I think I gained 3K subs from the

Elden Ring stuff. People don't sub from

that kind of content because the content

sucked. It was just like Why Elden Ring

sucks, and also some tutorials which

weren't great. People didn't think, wow,

this guy's amazing.

It's not going to grow the channel by

much. I don't know how many viewers stuck

around from the Elden Ring stuff.

And then June, I think in June I began

driving lessons, and then I

kind of became obsessed with driving and

cars, thinking it would help me get a

girlfriend. That was the main reason why I

really wanted to drive, because I was

getting desperate. I was thinking, what

can I do to improve my chances of getting

a girlfriend? And I thought, I know, I

will learn to drive.

And I passed my driving test and I got

dumped. She said she lost interest in me.

So it turns out girls don't give a crap

whether a guy can drive or not.

So I'd give Mei,

um, I had quite a good

time the first dates with the British

girlfriend. We went to London. I took her

to Korean barbecue. Cost me like £100 for

the meal alone, and she didn't even offer

to pay. And I had to pay like £40 for

trains. Very expensive dating in England.

You gotta pay like £100 at least, and then

if you go to a hotel in London, that's

That's like £250. When I met Mila, the

first date with Mila cost me loads. I paid

like £100 for a hotel and then £40 for the

train. I don't know if it's £40, I think

it's like £25. And then for the Korean

meal, it cost nearly £80. So it cost me

well over £200 going into London

to go on dates.

May. Let me see what happened in May.

It's actually better to look at the

livestreams to get an idea of what

happened instead of the videos. The

livestreams are more accurate of what

May. Oh yeah, I did a lot of kitchen

streams and I was getting the air fryer

and making weird food in the kitchen,

and I was whining about dates and stuff

I think I'd give May a 4 out of 10. I was

getting frustrated with dating, the

channel was dead again after Elden Ring

success, and then

June— hmm.

I felt like June was a bit better because

I was interested in driving and I was

going on a few dates with that British

girl. And I thought, well, she's kind of

weird-looking, but at least she's not fat,

and it's kind of nice to have someone to

go on dates with again. So I kind of

enjoyed the dates even though we weren't

really having sex. We had sex once— well,

3 times, but we just met overnight once.

Stayed overnight once together. The sex

wasn't really great, it was okay. She made

me use a condom, which I didn't like,

but it was interesting having sex with

another British girl. British girls are

weird. I don't know why, they just look—

British girls have weird goofy faces,

don't you think? They just look weird,

like big noses, bad teeth.

If they're ginger, they got like mustache.

I had 2 ginger girlfriends this year. I

call them girlfriends because one of them

asked me, am I your girlfriend? And I said

yes. And we met a few times and it was

getting kind of serious. She was asking me

stuff like, do you want to come to my

family barbecue? I had to block her

because she bruised after having sex

and we couldn't have sex again for like—

well, we didn't even have sex again

because she was bruised the whole time.

And she was very nagging and very

negative. I didn't like her. The second

British girlfriend was nicer

personality-wise, but it was pretty boring

hanging out with her. She didn't talk

much. We didn't have anything to talk

about when we met. We made out a few times

during the dates, but I just didn't really

find her that attractive.

And it was expensive to— it

was expensive to go and meet her because

we'd have to go and, you know, go to

places and castles and buy tickets.

How's my hand doing? It was doing better,

but now it's getting bad again. It's like

dry and itchy.

It's dry and itchy and starting to go a

bit red. It's weird, I don't know why it

keeps getting itchy.

Maybe it's stress-related. I do feel

pretty stressed having a girlfriend. It's

annoying. I don't know why having a

girlfriend is annoying. I feel like I

can't do what I want when I want to. I've

got to— I've got to plan my day around her

And then July we had the Malaysia trip,

which was okay. July Malaysia trip

and then more driving stuff.

Uh. I didn't

like July. I was disappointed the Malaysia

videos didn't really get views.

What happened in July?

Yeah, it was just Malaysia, and then I got

sick as well. And Essex Girl also blocked

me. Malaysia— I mean, July was pretty bad.

Then August— what happened in August?

I started doing a load of ex-wife spam

again. Why I want to get back with my

ex-wife stuff.

And I started doing a load of Japan

videos, which did pretty well actually.

Why I hated being married in Japan got 20K

views. My Japanese ex-wife is trying to

ruin my life, 16K. Why Japanese people

don't want foreigners to come back, 51K.

Those ones did pretty well. Maybe I should

do more Japan topic videos.

Should tell your girlfriend about your

channel. Then how am I gonna whine about

how annoying she is? Should be upset.

I'd have to keep my mouth shut about

basically everything that annoys me.

August. Oh yeah,

August. Didn't I pass?

Pass my driving test. So I give

August— or was it September?

No, I think I passed on— wait,

no, it wasn't August, it was September I

passed my test. I passed at the end of

September, then I went to Thailand in

October. So I give September a

7 out of 10. I felt really relieved that I

passed. I was scared I was gonna fail the

test and then I'd have to postpone

Thailand and then take more lessons.

Oh, thanks, Ken S. Do a video why

I refuse to collab with Chris, why do you

keep saying that?

Is it that interesting? I don't know what

I'd say. Why would I refuse?

Because his camera is too good and my skin

would look bad, and then I'd be weird and

awkward. Or should I make it fake and

then say like, oh, I had a crush on Sharla

and he stole her from me?

Do a video why I refuse to collab with

Chris Broad. Chris Broad's boring now.

He's into boxing and fitness.

I don't know why I even found Chris Broad

interesting. He never talks about anything

interesting about Japan, like, you know,

the sex stuff. He always talks about

normie tourist stuff, like, oh, best

wagyu.

I find it more interesting when people

talk about the seedy dark side of Japan,

like the red light districts and Yakuza

stuff, or history. He does talk about

history, but he doesn't really talk about,

you know, um, war kind of related history.

He talks about very surface level history.

The Chris Broad videos don't really do

well anymore. I made one a couple weeks

ago and he got 5K views. It was about— it

was like a reaction video to his 12 things

he hates about living in Japan, which he

completely copied me I was famous for

saying why I hate living in Japan.

He obviously took my idea and now he got 2

million views with it. Mine only got 600k.

So unfair. He's pretty rich as fuck.

Yeah, he makes like 40k a month on

Patreon. You can go into his Patreon, he

has like 40,000 Patreon members. It's

insane. Abroad in Japan Patreon.

Oh, he's only got 7,000 patrons. He's got

7,000 patrons, but I think the minimum

level is a couple pounds.

It's like £2 for the minimum level, and

I'm pretty sure most of his patrons are

subscribing to the middle tier.

So that's like at least £14K a month if

you assume that at least half are paying

for the middle tier. Then he's probably

making like £20,000-£25,000 a month.

Yeah, I have a Patreon. Mine only makes

about $9 a

month, but there's nothing on my Patreon

since January when I was making that video

game. Oh yeah, I was making the video game

in— no, that was December,

or was it January? I'll put it as January.

Made video game Uh,

it kind of flopped. Not many people

signed up to my Patreon to try it, so I

gave up. I thought 1,000 people would

be interested in buying it. I charged like

$2 a month so you have access to my game

as it's being developed, and I was

uploading the new versions as I worked on

it, and only about 20 people signed up.

And it was really stressful and hard work

doing the coding for that game.

Lost interest. The money wasn't there

either.

It's supposed to be like Xbox Gaming Pass.

You don't just pay once, you pay like a

monthly subscription, and what you get in

return is You get a game made by me that

is being updated and new stuff's being

added to it. I was going to add stuff like

new levels, new characters. I was going to

add in the Hide in My Room lore into the

game, Chihiro and stuff. It was going— you

would be— you're supposed to be able to

buy a ticket to Japan, and then I was

going to make a whole Japan level, and

then it would cost you like $5,000 to get

the ticket and And then to make money,

you're supposed to do missions and quests.

And then go to Japan and then get a job,

meet girls. It was supposed to be like

a kind of action/dating sim. It was

working! I had a whole level finished.

The house was finished, the computer

system was finished, the internet shopping

thing was finished, the combat system was

finished, the weapon system was finished.

Switching different weapons. You don't

know how difficult it was doing the code

so you can switch weapons. It seems like

an easy thing, but to switch weapons,

you've got to destroy the first weapon and

then make the new weapon spawn on

his hands, and then make sure the first

weapon isn't doing stuff anymore and

disabled. It kept going

wrong, like you'd switched weapon, but the

first weapon was still shooting bullets

even though it was invisible. Or it would

switch to the second weapon, and then when

you switch back to the first weapon, the

second weapon would disappear and never

come back again.

If all the stuff is finished, why not

release the full game? It was released on

my Patreon. The full game wasn't

finished, but like the, the basics, the

basic foundation was finished. And on top

of that, I was going to add new levels and

weapons and characters.

But it didn't really make much money. I

got bored and it was stressful. Coding was

driving me crazy. I hate coding. Coding

sucks. I don't know how anyone can stick

with coding for more than a year. I can

get into coding, but after a few months I

get so annoyed with it.

You can't release unfinished products.

Yeah, it's called early access beta.

The companies do it all the time.

Early access beta version.

Okay.

June began driving lessons, became

obsessed with cars. June Malaysia was— had

a weird vibe. It was like dating British

girl, also trying to learn to drive.

Very different to now. Okay, October,

uh, beginning of Thailand trip.

Um, slept with Thai girl first date.

October was massive success. I would give

it 8 out of 10. Possibly even 9 out of 10.

In November,

getting bored Thailand, and also

Thailand videos flopping.

When did my itchy fingers begin? I think

that was December. Itchy dry fingers.

I'd give November Hmm,

stress from expensive apartments.

November wasn't great,

I'd give it like a 3 out of 10. December,

itchy dry fingers, channel more

dead than ever,

averaging 5K views now.

I'd give December like a 1 out of 10.

I'm also getting annoyed with

girlfriend. December's not been great.

I think that's why my fingers are so bad.

The views, I don't know what happened to

it. Lost 50% of my audience. It went from

going getting like 10, 11K views to now

getting 5 or 6K views. How the hell does

that happen? Where do they go?

So I think the beginning of the year was

pretty good with the Elden Ring viral

success, and then it kind of got boring

with driving. Malaysia was not really

interesting, and Thailand started off

with a bang. There were good views.

It's getting like 18K views in the

Good views from Thailand videos just

because it was drama. You guys don't want

to watch normal stuff. My new video has

terrible views, 2.8K— no,

3.1K now.

And it got pretty bad CPM as well. Oh my

God, I guess the December CPM is over now.

Since Christmas is finished,

guess we're gonna go to shit CPM.

December,

you were mentioned on Ice's stream. Yeah,

that was a nice little surprise. Didn't

think those guys would remember me.

Mentioned on IceStream, so that could bump

it up to like a 2 out of 10.

My highest CPM was probably the Why I

Regret Coming to Thailand. That got like a

$17 CPM, so I made $40

on that video even though I only got 5K

views.

But next year, a bit worried about next

year. I think the channel is just— I don't

know how to bring the channel back to

life. People are just not interested in

anything.

They keep saying, oh, it's boring because

you don't go outside, but then when I go

outside and make videos, they get even

less views.

Why don't you send a notification on

Discord? Uh, yeah, I could,

I guess, but I never really get many

viewers from Discord.

@everyone streaming now. I don't

think it's gonna make a difference.

See if it makes a difference.

I saw one girl on Twitch. She's been

streaming for 400 days straight.

For 400 days she's been streaming nonstop,

has never turned off the stream, and she's

got a goal of streaming for 2 years, 720

days.

And she only has about 200 viewers. Seems

like that's not a very interesting thing

to do. She streamed a total of 9,000

hours. People think my streams are long.

And then I calculated— wait, I can hear

something. I calculated that if I streamed

every day for 24 hours for a whole month

on Twitch, I would make like $1,500

because I usually make about $25 when I

stream for about 12 hours. From ad rev.

If I streamed for 24 hours, that'd be,

uh, $50 for one stream.

And then if I've streamed 30 times,

$50, so $1,500.

I should do that if I'm single again. I

would just stream, do like a subathon.

Why didn't I do this in England?

I would have been stressed out. I need

time to just sit and not talk, and then if

I stop talking, people get bored and click

So my New Year's resolution is stop

channel from dying.

Uh, dump girlfriend. She's boring.

She doesn't add anything to the channel.

In fact, it restricts me from making what

I want. Oh, thanks,

Loodling2. Could I say $5 sucky sucky?

What if I get my girlfriend to say it?

How much would you pay? Do like a Cameo

video request.

Could you say $5 sucky sucky? I just

said it. Is that good enough?

I wonder if every one of Ice's streams

gets demonetized because he's swearing

every second.

I don't think he'd care because he gets so

many donations. I kind of need the ad

revenue because I don't get that many.

For me, the ad revenue is more important.

That's why I try not to swear.

Other resolutions would be go

to Japan. I feel like I'll never get back

to Japan at this rate. I'll probably get

rid of the girlfriend and then they'll

close Japan again because of COVID cases

or something.

Streams after upload don't get many views?

They do. I'll get maybe a couple thousand

views during the stream, and then after

the stream, the streams get like 6 or 7K

views. So I actually get more views after

the stream's ended than during the stream.

I don't know if it's different for Ice,

because why would you watch an old stream

when you can watch him stream now? Unless

he's sleeping now.

So far this stream has gotten 560 views in

1 hour.

Can I turn and show us your mullet? Okay.

Does it look good?

That bit sticking up at the back.

I don't think it's too long yet. I

probably have to cut it next month. I

think it looks interesting. I haven't had

it this long for ages. I was cutting it

short ever since Mila dumped me because

that was what Mila liked. Mila liked the

short hair with the K-pop ears.

Long enough for a rat's tail. Yeah, I

could do like a little ponytail like

Would I like to travel to the US? Not

really. I couldn't think of a place I'd

least want to go to. Probably Africa or

I was gonna do like a stream subathon with

this timer, copying Ice. So every time I

get a donation, it would increase the

timer, but I couldn't find a timer for

YouTube. This is a Twitch timer. It works

for Twitch, but Super Chats don't

affect the timer.

Oh, thanks. I could ask my mum. It seems

like my mum knows a lot. She keeps saying

Chihiro is with a happy guy now. She

doesn't want anything to do with you. I

could ask her, like, is, is her boyfriend

Japanese? But I keep saying to my mom,

I don't want to know, so I feel annoyed.

I don't want to know that Chihiro is with

another guy and she's happy. I want her to

be sad and lonely and miss me.

Yeah, my idea was I would go and live in a

net cafe and I would hate it, and I'd have

a timer, and every time I get a donation,

the timer would go up, and when the timer

gets to 0, it means I can leave the net

cafe. What do you think? But I can't find

a timer that goes up every time I get a

donation, so I have to manually add the

time. So for example, I might do

$1 equals 5 minutes.

So I got a $2 donation now, I would go

into the timer and And

then 2

times— what did I say? $1 is 5 minutes,

so I do 2 times 5, so I'd add 10 minutes.

Yeah, added 10 minutes. Did you see it

went up 10 minutes? So I guess I'd have to

manually add it. I can't find a way You

need to like know coding and create your

own custom widget, but I don't know how to

Oh, I could do it on Twitch because Twitch

works when I get subs and bits. It does

automatically go up, and Twitch lets you

do a 38-hour stream before you have to

reset it. YouTube only lets you do a

12-hour stream before you have to reset

How can you say your channel is dead when

you have 100 live viewers? Because a

channel my size should have way more live

viewers than just 100. 100 live viewers is

what you expect from a channel that has 5K

subs. And guess what? I've only got 5K

active viewers now, so my channel is

basically a 5K sub channel. I don't have

100K active subs. 100K subs

should be getting like 1,000 viewers.

I've seen channels with only 5K subs get

like 500 viewers.

It's a very poor ratio.

I used to get like 400 or 500 viewers a

couple years ago.

So yeah, if I go to Japan, I want to try

some extreme streaming stuff like Ice is

doing because it seems kind of fun, and

then see what it's like living in some

crap places, put a timer, see if people

want to increase my suffering. But if it

goes to zero, then I would probably leave,

get myself a nice hotel.

So I'd probably do that on YouTube just

because I get more viewers. But the timer—

I don't know how to get the timer working.

I searched and I searched and there's no

timer for YouTube. The best I could find

was this weird website called Streamloots,

but that timer doesn't go up either when

you get donations.

So maybe I need to ask Ice, but I think

Ice probably did the coding himself or he

paid someone to do it.

I could stream it on Twitch and then edit

it into a video for YouTube. Maybe that

would work, but I'd prefer to stream on

YouTube. I get double the viewers on

YouTube. On Twitch, I did a Twitch stream

yesterday, it's getting about 50 viewers,

between 40 and 50. Ice's mod is

doing it. Oh, is this mod manually adding

the time? I'm pretty sure when he gets a

donation it automatically Because it

updates straight away as soon as he gets

the donation.

I don't think it'd be very difficult.

It's not like I get loads of donations. I

get a couple every hour. I can easily just

do it myself. So I'd have to make the,

the donations worth more minutes,

because if I do it what Ice is doing, it

would never go up much. I'd have to be

like $1 equals 10 minutes,

so if you donate $5, it would be like 50

minutes. Otherwise, the stream would end

pretty soon.

But for now, I'll just do like countdown

timer for different things.

How come I never met my mother-in-law?

Who, Chihiro's mum? Because she hated me.

Even before she knew about the cheating

and YouTube stuff, her mum didn't like me

because I'm a foreigner. She was like,

oh, marrying a foreigner is bad, blah blah

blah. She wanted her to be like her

sister, marry a nice Japanese man. Have

kids. I don't think Chihiro would ever

have kids now. She's too old. You can't

become a mum when you're like 42. You

gotta be 20-something or at least early

30s. I think my girlfriend—

I don't think she's gonna be a mum either.

Getting too old. She's already 36 or 35,

and my sperm doesn't work. 'Cause she's

still not pregnant. We don't use condoms.

There's no baby.

Your girlfriend's mum? I did talk to her

mum on the phone, but it was just like,

hello, Nice to meet you.

Her mum thought I was a scammer or

something and didn't like me. I think

she's okay with me now, but I don't

want to meet her mum. That's just lame.

I don't really want to be a dad with my

fading YouTube channel. I want to be

single again. Do some crazy stuff like

live in a guest house, jerk off on

people's shoes.

I want to do something big like cycling

across Japan and streaming it.

When you get a girlfriend, it's like you

can't do anything fun.

I need like a younger girlfriend who

doesn't really have obligations, who wants

to do some content with me. Imagine I had

a girlfriend, we streamed going across

Japan, and we like snuck into an abandoned

shed and had sex in it, and then

just did random stuff while streaming it.

Having to hide my channel from my

girlfriend sucks, but then if my

girlfriend knew about it, then I wouldn't

be able to complain about her all the

18 to 23-year-olds are

not exactly lining up to date me.

I want a girlfriend to make content with,

but then I can't say bad stuff

about her because she'll get upset.

Chihiro is great because I could moan

about her and also She would help me make

She did help me make some content, like

the last video I wouldn't have done

without her.

It would have been more fun to stream

that, do like an IRL stream in Chinatown.

Get more views if you showed her face.

Yeah, but then people are going to start

saying stuff like, oh, she looks old, she

looks ugly? Why is her nose

weird? Or why is her face weird?

And then she'll see that and then she'll

get upset and then I'll have to heavily

moderate the comment section. And then

they might find out how to contact her.

She might ask, oh, can I link my

Instagram? And then I have to say no

because then people start messaging you.

People were being really mean to Mila,

and then she got— she started crying about

it. Mila was really affected by

the comments. She'd be sitting there

reading all the comments and getting

upset. Mina doesn't have the right

mentality for being a YouTuber.

She's like one of those people who gets

really upset over what strangers are

saying about her. You've got to just not

care. It's the internet,

what do you expect? Not everyone's gonna

be nice. Not everyone's gonna like you.

She was very sensitive.

She'd be reading the subreddit as well,

crying.

Chihiro never cared. She'd maybe go like,

huh, and then do like an angry face, but

you could tell she didn't really care what

weirdos on the internet were saying about

her.

She only got upset when I was saying stuff

that made her look bad.

Last time my girlfriend cried— she hasn't

cried recently.

I think she cried a few weeks ago.

Oh yeah, she cried because of McDonald's a

couple weeks ago, but that's because her

period started. We went to McDonald's and

I said I wanted a Big Mac. She didn't say

she wanted anything, so I just assumed She

wasn't hungry. And then she left me inside

of McDonald's eating alone while she sat

outside and then gave me silent treatment.

And when we got back home, she was on the

bed, asked me to come and sit, sit down.

And she said, she asked, why didn't you

ask if I wanted food? And then she was

crying.

And then she said, do you not love me?

And I said, yes, thinking that means

no. And then she was like, why don't you

love me? And then she started crying. And

I said, no, no, I meant no. I meant

yes, I do love you. Why'd you ask it in

like a double negative? Do you— don't you

love me? And I said, yes, thinking that

means I do love you. But she thought,

yes, I don't love you. Stupid way of

asking it. Just ask, do you love me?

I thought if I said no, then it means no,

I don't love you. So I said yes. And then

she says— she said she was sad because I

said yes, I don't love her. It's

confusing.

So then I had to tell her I loved her. To

get her to stop crying.

And she said, I know that you don't really

love me, but I love you. I said,

that's not true. Don't cry.

I hate it when she ask me directly about

these things. Ice might

go to Korea or Thailand after the Japan

trip. Yeah, I saw him thinking about which

country to go next. He was also saying

India. I kind of hope he doesn't come to

Thailand cuz he's going to do a bunch of

cool stuff and then I'm going to start

kicking myself thinking, ah, I could be

doing that if I didn't have a girlfriend.

Or he would make Thailand look fun, and

then I'd be like, oh, why aren't I doing

that? All my viewers are bored of my

Thailand stuff. Ice would

do something crazy like looking for

ladyboy all night or getting Thai massage,

streaming everything,

and then I would think Should I snipe him?

I don't know. I've seen his snipers and

they seem kind of weird and they just like

follow Ice around, but then you gotta hang

out with the other snipers, don't you? I

wanna— I would want to meet Ice, but I

don't want to meet other snipers.

And then Ice sometimes gives the stream to

the snipers because he's too tired, so

then it's just like the snipers all

hanging out with each other. It's just

kind of weird and they seem a bit

annoying. Oh, thanks, Stutch.

Wow, £15,

very generous.

Also, Streamlabs finally added a Super

Chat donation goal. Look at this. Who

remembers me ranting about how the

donation goal only goes up when you do a

PayPal donation and I had to manually add

a the donation to the donation goal.

Not anymore. Now they have a stream, a

supercut, Super Chat donation goal.

Finally.

Now it'd be nice if the donation goal

included the PayPal donations, because now

you need 2 donation goals, one for Super

Chats, one for PayPal. Why don't they just

have it as one donation goal? That would

be better. Add to the timer.

No, I'm not doing the timer today because

my girlfriend will be back and

I have to end the stream.

Yeah, the stream snipers, some of them are

kind of childish. One of them poured

a cup of water onto the other sniper's

head when he was sleeping. It's not really

the kind of stuff I want to be inflicted

upon. You know, as a 33-year-old man,

I'm not interested in childish pranks

anymore, or ever. I've never really been a

fan of pranks. I just think it's silly. I

don't want like a cup of water chucked on

And that suspenders guy, oh my God,

that guy is just kind of irritating.

He's really loud and he's like constantly

talking about sex and getting head.

The guy is just a bit cringe. I don't want

to be hanging out with these guys. So I

wouldn't snipe Ice and I wouldn't follow

him around. Although if I'm—

I wouldn't really bring much entertainment

to the stream anyway, so I don't even know

if I'd grow my channel by sniping Ice. I

don't think Ice viewers really find my

channel interesting.

I would snipe him, but I wouldn't go up to

him. I'd like follow him from behind and

then like zoom in on his behind saying,

hehe, Ice doesn't even know I'm following

him. Hehe. See if he finds

out. Or I'd

wear a mask and wear a hat and

then pretend I don't know him and then

like sit next to him. He would notice.

He remembers. Yeah, but I don't think he

would notice unless people people start

spamming in his chat, look behind you,

Daniel's there. And then I'd be like, oh

shit, and quickly hide. I'd wear a mask

and a hat and like sit next to him.

That's what I wanted to do when I first

sniped him. Me and Chira wanted to go into

the restaurant they were sitting in, but

there was no empty seats. I said, let's

just pretend we don't know him and sit

next to him. But the restaurant was full.

And we just kind of stood behind them

until they noticed.

Why did 2022 suck? Well,

lack of views, channel dying, lowest views

in December than ever before. We're back

to basically 2017 levels of views.

These are the views I was getting in 2017,

like 4K,

5K. Middle beginning of

2022 was great though. Elden Ring really
