[2024-01-20] why i'm deleting EVERYTHING on my youtube channel [nz7JBtlSjd8]

Testing,

testing.

Testing, testing,

testing,

testing.

Okay, testing finished.

Uh, where's my Streamo?

Got many things to discuss today.

Why does it say I'm streaming when I

search up my channel?

Oh, it does.

Copy link.

Where is it?

I'll download everything and re-upload it.

Well, then I'll just copy strike you back

into the Stone Age.

Think you're clever.

So we got a lot to discuss.

You might have noticed the recent changes

to my YouTube channel.

Recently I had an epiphany.

I need to talk about everything.

Not sure where to begin.

Are you really gonna delete every video?

Well, not every video.

I'll leave Stuff like Elden Ring, the

gaming stuff I think is fine, and the

stuff like why I have no friends.

But I'm basically going to take down

everything about relationships,

about Japan, about girlfriends, and like

weird creepy stuff.

Wait, is it streaming?

Is it streaming?

Yeah, it says no data for some reason.

It made me think it's not streaming.

Okay, so the plan is I'm gonna wipe my

channel off from the surface of YouTube.

I'm gonna set everything to members only.

So the videos are still there, it's just

only members can see it.

So if you want to see them,

uh, you gotta sign up for membership.

It's only $3 a month and then you get

access to everything.

So the whole point of this is

My new channel is popping off.

I don't want to sound like I'm bragging or

anything, but my new Thailand channel is

kind of popping off, and I don't want my

new fans to find my old dark history.

So the annoying thing is when you type in

like Daniel Thailand, my stupid channel

shows up.

So I want to get rid of that, and I'm

hiding my face.

I'm taking all the weird videos I made

down.

That make me look bad.

And, um, yeah, I'm putting everything to

members only, so those videos are still

there, but they won't show.

See, it's genius because they're not going

to show up when you search for me, but

they're still there and you get access to

them if you want to pay for membership.

I don't really care about taking the

videos down.

It's not like they still make money.

They make like $0.02 a month.

They don't get any views anymore.

They all got massive views, they blew up,

and then it just went all the way down to

zero, like some kind of meme stock.

There are a few videos that still get

views and I've left those up, like the

Exploring the Japanese Slum video still

gets views and Chinese Massage Parlors in

Japan.

For some reason that still gets views,

but I don't really care if the videos are

gone or not anymore because they don't

even make money anymore.

And they just— they're a risk on my

reputation, makes me look bad.

Yeah, my third channel is kind of popping

off and I feel pretty good about it.

Uh, it's a secret.

I'm not going to tell you guys because I

don't— number one, I don't think you'll be

interested in the content on it.

Number two, I don't want to bring my old

Negative Nancy, Nancy

whining, negative, nagging viewers over to

my new channel because they're part of the

reason why I became miserable.

Those— all those people constantly whining

and nagging all the time.

I hate those people so much.

I hate my old audience.

Not you guys, I mean like all the people

before.

I hate them so much because all they ever

did was nag and whine at me and put me

down.

I'm so sick and tired of those people.

So I want a fresh beginning, fresh start

with some fresh viewers.

Now all those people from 2019, 2020,

2021, like when I used to get 30, 40k

views, I hate those people so much because

all they ever did was be negative and

whine at me all the time.

And I think they're the reason why I feel

kind of miserable nowadays.

It's like, imagine you're, you're

ambitious or you've got goals or there's

like some dream you have and then all the

people around you constantly putting you

down and telling you you can't do it.

You need to go home, get a job, give up on

YouTube.

Imagine being surrounded by thousands of

people like that and then imagine how

you'll feel.

I reckon they're the reason why I became

miserable.

I blame them.

And yeah, I guess it was my fault because

I constantly put out miserable whining

content and that attracted miserable

whining people who then miserably whined

at me all the time and that made me more

miserable.

So yeah, I guess it was my fault.

But this new channel, I feel like I'm

gonna fix all the problems and I'm gonna

learn from the past 5 years of YouTubing

not to, to make all the same mistakes I've

made on Hiding in My Room.

So it's like a fresh start, not gonna make

the same mistakes,

going to

use positive and good tactics to get

views, not like whining negative content.

Who's that idiot?

Banging.

There's so much construction going— I can

hear a stupid pneumatic drill going off in

the background.

I can hear someone tapping.

The person next door, he never goes to

freaking work.

He's like always in there.

Does— why doesn't he have a job?

I mean, it's Friday, why is he at home?

It's 10:00 a.m.

Friday.

I mean, oh, it's Saturday actually.

Well, even when it's Friday or weekday,

he's still there.

And I think he gets call girls.

I don't think that's— I remember one time

a couple of weeks ago, there was a woman

making cereal sounds very loudly coming

from that room.

And then this other time, a woman

accidentally came into my apartment

thinking it was his apartment, because I'm

pretty sure she went into his apartment

because I could hear the door opening and

it was like the next room.

And when she came in, I looked up And she

looked like a slut.

Like, very heavy makeup,

fancy— like, not fancy clothing, but like

kind of clothing you'd wear going to a

club or something.

I saw him.

He's like fat and looks like a gorilla.

I really doubt he's got a girlfriend,

because if he's got a girlfriend, they'd

be living together and then they'd be

doing it.

On a daily basis, not just like once every

few months.

So I think he's weird, and then he doesn't

go to work, so he must be doing something

in there.

I don't know what he does,

don't know what kind of life he leads, but

it's really annoying because I can hear

him and it bothers me.

And I've seen his stupid face because he

accidentally opened my door once.

We had to put a warning sign on the door.

To stop it from happening.

Okay, let me read the comments.

Are you still gonna upload here?

Yeah, so the plan is I'm still gonna

livestream on this channel because this is

like the only channel where I get any

viewership for livestreams, and there's

basically no point doing videos over

livestreams here because the videos always

get the same amount of views livestreams

get.

So what's the point?

I'll still do like a couple trolly videos

if there's like a trending topic, or if

I've got like an idea

to do like a troll video, like why I hate

Chris Broad.

I'll still do like troll videos on this

channel, but I'm gonna be directing my

main energy and focus to make good videos

on my new channel now, because I think

that's where the future is.

This channel is dead.

This channel is so dead.

Like, it's so dead, I can't even explain

to you how dead it is.

It's just a complete waste of time.

This channel is so dead, you know what I

mean?

Like, nothing gets any views.

Whenever it does get views, it makes me

lose like a bunch of subs because they

realize, oh, I remember Daniel, unsub.

There's literally no point trying on this

channel anymore.

It's just dead.

The only point of even not deleting this

channel is just because the livestreams

still are worth doing.

I mean, this channel has had no growth

since 2019.

My new channel gained 200 new subs in the

last week.

That's more growth than this channel has

had in 5 years.

So I'm done.

This channel can suck my nuts.

The thing that made this channel great

was— the only reason that made this

channel great was because 2018 Daniel was

like very goofy and wacky and weird.

But that Daniel is gone.

I grew up.

I left old Daniel behind.

He just disappeared.

I don't know where he's gone.

But new Daniel— I can't really pretend to

be old Daniel anymore because he doesn't

exist.

So the only thing that made this channel

interesting or unique was because of old

Daniel, but old Daniel's gone, isn't he?

He's not coming back.

I don't know what happened to him.

He got destroyed by the YouTube hate and

then became jaded.

So the new Daniel doesn't appeal to the

old Daniel fans because most of them left.

So I had this analogy that I thought of.

So imagine a balloon and the balloon gets

inflated, gets bigger and bigger.

Because of, you know, the memes, the

wackiness and goofiness and the funniness

of old Daniel.

And as that inflated, so did the fan base

for old Daniel.

But as I got older and as time went on and

the balloon of Daniel started to deflate

because he changed, and then the wackiness

and goofiness started to disappear, so did

the fan base.

Like like they deflated and shrunk at the

same time.

Well, I don't know what my point was.

I did have a point, but I forgot it now.

But I think you get what I mean.

It's not even the negativity, but the lack

of actual fun content.

Yeah, and the reason why is because I

don't enjoy making videos anymore.

On this channel because

the only— the thing that I learned that

worked on this channel that doesn't work

anymore was to be super toxic and super

negative and bait people into hating me

and create content like, I cheated, I

abused my wife, I lied to my girl.

You know, all that negative content was

what used to get views.

But it made me miserable because it

created a toxic audience that just hated

me, and then I hated them, and they hated

me, and then I hated them back.

So it's like a massive negative downward

spiral of negativity and hate that made me

feel miserable.

So I don't enjoy making videos for an

audience that hates me, but then they

left,

so I've got to now change Because what

works before doesn't work anymore.

But it's hard to change, you know, because

I kind of wired my brain for the last 4

years to think, okay, I've got to be

negative and toxic, but that doesn't work

anymore.

It just makes me lose subs.

People aren't interested anymore.

But the new channel is completely

different.

So with the new channel, I realized if I

make good videos, that are not negative or

toxic,

people like me and then they sub to my

channel and then the channel grows.

I can't believe it took me this long to

realize that if I make stuff people like

and I'm not whiny or toxic, then they will

like me and then they'll sub to my

channel.

So now I'm like, oh my God,

I finally get it.

I got 200 new subs on my new video.

The new video only has like a couple

thousand views, but I got 200 new subs and

all the reaction and the feedback is

really positive.

So my new— so here's my new strategy for

my new channel.

Number 1, only make good videos, so I have

to be energetic and be at least interested

in what I'm talking about.

So, and number 2, the videos have to be

about Thailand because, because the

channel is growing because people are

interested in Thailand, and I've marketed

myself as someone who lives in Thailand.

So the topics have to be about Thailand

But also about me.

So there's like a spectrum, like 100%

informative video where the whole video is

just like facts about Thailand, tips about

Thailand.

I don't want to do that because I think

that's boring.

And if I think that's boring, I won't be

able to have fun making the videos.

And if I'm not having fun, I won't have

the motivation.

So what I'm thinking of, it's not going to

be 100% personal.

Like, I mean, this channel right now is

like 100% personal.

It's all me, me, me, me, me.

So the new channel is going to be like

60% personal and 40% informative about

Thailand.

So I want like a balance.

I think I am best at making content when

it's about me

because that's what I know a lot about and

that's what I enjoy.

So I think we do like a mixture, a

balanced maybe not 50/50, but like 70/30.

It's gonna be about my personal journey in

Thailand, but then the videos are going to

be crafted in a way that it seems like

you're going to learn something about what

it's like to live in Thailand, if you know

what I mean.

So no live streams on the new channel

because live streams destroy a channel and

The problem with livestreams is my worst

sides of my personality get revealed and I

can't edit it out.

And sometimes I get into like a negative

mood.

I start whining nonstop.

That's very off-putting to people and they

unsub.

So no livestreams at all on the new

channel.

They're also too long.

People aren't going to sit there for a

2-hour livestream if they don't know who

you are.

So I'm only going to make short,

easy to consume, 8 to 10 minute videos

with no live streams, no shorts, only

videos that provide some kind of value.

But I'm not going to be toxic or negative,

so I'm not going to

attract negative, whiny, toxic people.

And I'm only gonna make videos that have a

proven track record of going viral on

other people's channels.

So you might say, oh, I'm just copying

other people's video titles.

Yes, that is true, but I'm not copying the

content.

It's my own original content under the

umbrella of someone else's title.

So the reason I'm doing this is because in

order to have the best possibility of

success, I need to find other channels

that do similar stuff to what I'm

targeting.

Like my competition.

What is my competition?

Other people in Thailand making Thailand

videos.

So what I do is I find those smaller

channels, I sort through their videos,

what did the best for them, and then I

just copy them.

I mean, that's how I grew this channel.

I, I found out that the no friends thing

was very viral and I just copied it and it

went viral.

And that's how I grew this channel.

So I think it's a good tactic,

and it's like a— it's— I think it's a

safer tactic than just trying to do my own

unique content, which you don't know if

it's gonna work or not.

It's unlikely to work or not.

I mean, it's unlikely to work.

Everyone just copies everyone anyway on

YouTube.

You know, I found— I found some random

Asian woman on YouTube.

She's got like 400k subs.

She started a year ago.

Her top 3 videos are literally all just

copying other viral videos.

She's got one about not having friends,

1.7 million views.

She's got one about being ugly.

The whole, oh, I'm ugly, was like a big

viral trend a couple years ago.

That has a couple million views.

And then her third viral video was one

about, oh, I wasted my 20s, was another

really viral concept.

Her top 3 videos are all just copied viral

videos.

But it worked.

She managed to grow a big audience by

doing that.

I hate to admit it, but just copying

people is the way to go.

It's so dumb, but if that's what works,

you know, you've got to do it.

If you can't beat them, join them.

I don't care if the subreddit finds it.

I mean, what are they gonna do

if anyone starts being negative?

On my new channel, you're banned.

I've already banned a couple people.

One person was like, Daniel, you can't

just make a new channel and expect to

catch lightning in a bottle twice.

Here's banned.

Banned.

You're banned.

If you come to my new channel and you try

and be negative and put me down, you're

banned.

I already banned you on this channel.

If you come to my new channel and try to

be the same toxic prick, then you're

banned.

You're exactly the kind of person I don't

want.

And this is my advice to anyone in life.

If you have goals and there's things you

want to do in life and they seem like kind

of unachievable goals and you've got

people around you telling you you can't do

it, you've got to cut them out.

Even if it's your mom, your dad, you got

to block them.

They will not help you achieve your goals

in any way.

If you think you can't do it, you will

never do it.

And if you've got people around you

constantly telling you you can't do it,

then you'll start to actually think, wait,

maybe they're right.

Maybe, maybe I can't do it.

And it's exactly that kind of thinking

that will lead you to not doing it or

being able to do it.

You got to cut those people out as soon as

you can.

I made a mistake in thinking, oh, I've got

to have an open comment section.

I have to give everyone a fair chance to

be able to say their opinion.

No, I should have just blocked them all,

banned them.

They're useless idiots.

They're miserable, horrible people that

are miserable in their own life and they

want you to be miserable too.

They're like a cancer.

You gotta just cut them out because

they'll never help you.

I have had an epiphany In the last week.

And I realized I didn't used to be like

this before YouTube.

Before 2018, I was a completely different

person.

And then I let all the hate comments drag

me down, and then I let the negativity

infect me.

These people suck.

That's why I'm making a new channel and

I'm saying, fuck this channel.

These people, I hate them so much.

But I attracted them like flies to poo.

Because I put out poo content and I

attracted all these flies and they just

stuck to it.

I hate them so much.

Oh my god, I never hated a group of people

more than my old audience.

I swear to god.

I swear to Jesus, these people.

Oh my god.

I hate them so much.

All the people that just shat on me for

years and years.

You got to get a job.

You got to stop it.

Then you— get lost.

Hate you.

You need to go back to school.

You need therapy.

Shut

up.

God, I get so angry.

I used to—

I used to achieve so many unachievable

things before this stupid YouTube channel

happened.

Because I never had any negativity in my

life dragging me down.

You know, I had like very happy-go-lucky,

I can do anything kind of mentality, and I

did do anything.

And then the stupid negative whining

YouTube comments like infected me like a

cancer,

and I finally realized it now, and I'm

finally— I feel like I've Reached a point

where I can just say I'm done with this

hiding my room stuff.

I'm making a new channel, new start, new

mentality, new attitude.

I'm not gonna let people bring me down

anymore.

I'm gonna live my life in Japan and

overseas and not get a job and succeed at

my YouTube dream.

Also, more rules for the new channel will

be no relationship drama, no creepy girl

incel stuff.

So there's 3 levels of weirdness.

There's neutral weird, like, okay, he's a

bit quirky, bit weird, it's fine.

There's funny weird, like, oh, he's such a

goofball, he's hilarious.

But that's very difficult to do unless

you're like very gifted comedically.

And then there's the worst one.

There's like creepy degen weird that no

one likes, and I unfortunately slipped

into the creepy degen weird.

I don't want to do that.

I want to be like neutral.

I think neutral quirkiness is fine.

Ideally comedically funnily weird would be

good, but I'm not great at being funny.

I think I'm good at being unintentionally

funny.

Like sometimes I have cracked up people

really hard by mistake, not because I had

like really funny genius joke with expert

delivery.

And I just accidentally unintentionally

cracks them up.

So for example, I was doing my driving

lessons.

I cracked my instructor up.

We were just like laughing for ages over

this.

He said, Daniel, can you take the next

left at the end of the road?

And for some reason I take the left at the

next left, even though the road carried on

going on forwards.

And then after I realized I made a

mistake, I said, at that left turning,

there was a sign with 2 arrows, one

pointing forwards and one pointing left.

And then I said, wait, so if the sign has

an arrow pointing forwards, it means we're

not at the end of the road.

And then he just burst out laughing.

He was like, yes, Daniel, when the road is

still going forwards, that means we're not

at the end of the road.

And I was like, oh.

And then I realized how stupid what I said

sounded and I started laughing.

And then he just— his whole face went red

because he couldn't stop laughing.

It was so funny.

I think I'm good at being unintentionally

stupidly funny,

but I'm not good at like trying to make

jokes.

So I think sometimes I can be funny, but

it happens randomly.

That was so funny though.

I can't believe I said that.

Like, obviously if the road is still going

on ahead, we're not at the end of the

road.

I don't know why I couldn't understand

that.

He would say, take the next left at the

end of the road, and I'd just take the

next left even though it wasn't the end of

the road.

And then this other time happened.

When I was talking to a Japanese person in

Japanese.

I don't remember, but we were talking

about why flying,

like long flights suck.

And I wanted to say, I hate long flights

because I can't sleep.

Hurts my neck.

My neck is really painful.

I ended up saying my lips get really

painful instead of neck.

And I honestly didn't realize I said lips

instead of neck.

And then we just cracked up laughing after

I realized it.

So the word for neck is kubi, and the word

for lips is kuchibiru.

For some reason, I thought kuchibiru was

neck.

I said— it must have sounded so funny in

Japanese.

I just said, yeah, I really can't sleep on

planes because my lips really hurt.

Like, what are you doing with your lips to

make your lips hurt so much?

It must have sounded so funny.

I thought kuchi biru was like kubi because

it's got the kuchi, the ku, and the biru,

the bi.

So it's like kubi.

But no, neck is kubi.

I just made a little mistake.

But it was so funny.

We laughed a lot.

So yeah, sometimes I can be

unintentionally funny, I think.

So yeah, I think I realized that the

negative whining nagging comments are

really dragging me down.

And they're not helping me achieve what I

want to achieve.

I want to achieve financial independence,

and I think the best way to do that is on

YouTube.

So I need a new YouTube channel to go

viral and create new sources of revenue.

And I think this channel has no growth,

so we're going to start a new channel.

But this time I'm going to take everything

I learned in the previous 5 years and

apply that to my new channel and not make

the same mistakes.

I made so many massive mistakes, I just— I

don't even know why I did it.

Like, number one, sleeping with your fans

and then bragging about it and then also

bashing them on stream was such a dumb

idea.

Why did I do that?

If I should have slept with them but then

not really told talked a lot about it.

Why'd I vlog it?

That was so dumb.

And then also, what else I do?

I think getting really triggered and angry

at my viewers was a big mistake,

and then raging at them was like a really

stupid thing to do,

but giving them reasons to be negative

towards me was a really dumb idea.

You see, when you do YouTube, you gotta be

very careful about your image.

You're like, create this perfect image.

Well, it doesn't have to be perfect.

It can show your vulnerable and insecure

sides, but you've got to do it in like a

humble way, not like a negative toxic way,

which I ended up doing, which was a stupid

mistake as well.

I think whining too much is very

off-putting.

People don't like it, especially if you're

not doing anything to try and fix the

problem.

They really— if you say, oh, I've got this

problem, but I'm trying to fix it, then

they'll get behind you and root for you.

But if you just nonstop whine about it and

you're not doing anything to fix it, then

they really hate that.

People won't get behind you.

So I've learned a lot about psychology,

the mentality, And like the psychology of

people

throughout the years.

I think I've learned a lot about how

people's brains work,

and I'm going to apply it to my new

channel.

The new channel is going to be extremely,

extremely moderated and censored and

curated.

It's not going to be like a free flow like

this channel is.

You know, I, I don't know why, but for

some reason,

when my— when this channel was blowing up,

I thought being really negative and

cynical was funny.

Like, I thought I wanted to be famous for

being really negative and hating

everything.

I thought that was like a great persona

and character that everyone would love.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard

of.

Why did I think that would work?

I wanted to be like Karl Pilkington.

You know him?

He's always whining and negative, but he

does it in a funny way.

I did it in like a very annoying way.

So I got it into my head thinking the way

to YouTube success is to just be negative

about everything and hate on everything.

That didn't really work out, did it?

So my new tactic is don't be negative

about anything, be very respectful, and

I don't know, I don't think negativity

works anymore if you want to grow.

If you want to get like one-time clickbait

views,

it could work, but if you want to grow the

channel, it won't work

unless you're going to be negative about

something everyone actually hates, like, I

don't know, the Epstein list or how Apple

screws over its users.

By ripping them off with 8GB of RAM.

Like, you can be negative about things

that deserve criticism,

then that's fine.

But I was being negative about stupid

things like unknown Japanese culture.

Also, with the way the internet is,

I think you kind of have to be very

careful

with being PC, otherwise people just hate

on you.

But I'm gonna be very careful about the

types of videos I make and what I say in

the new videos to not upset anyone.

So the problem with this channel is

I try— I purposely go out of my way to try

and upset people with the clickbait

videos.

That's like the whole gimmick is I'm

trying to upset you.

But it doesn't grow the channel and it

makes me lose subs.

And it usually doesn't work.

I mean, the PewDiePie thing did work.

Got 300,000 views.

But what's the point?

It doesn't grow the channel and it makes

you look like a dickhead.

It's just like a one-time thing.

So the, the new thing I realized is If I

make a video where I'm not a dickhead and

I don't give people any reason to hate me

in the video,

and the video even gets slightly viral—

I've already witnessed it, I've seen it

happen.

I made a video that was completely

neutral.

What was it about?

Yeah, it was called Why I Left Thailand.

I mean, Why I Left the UK to Live in

Thailand.

I made it purposefully not negative, but

also relatable.

So you get a glimpse into my personal life

and then you get to see why— who's that

stupid idiot in the corridor?

You get like a glimpse into who I am as a

person.

So I'm not like a robot that you don't

know anything about.

I explain to you why I left the UK and

came to Thailand, and I talk about things

I like about Thailand.

And I talk about my own personal unique

experience.

And that video got— it has nearly 4K views

now and it's grown my channel by like 30%.

I've gotten 3— nearly 300 new subs from

that video alone.

Imagine if the video pops off and gets

like 50K views.

Oh my God.

I swear to Jesus, that would grow the

channel by 1,000 new subs or something.

So the trick is

you give people no reason to hate you in

the video and the video pops off.

Those are the only 2 things you need and

people will sub to the channel.

People won't hate you unless you give them

a good reason to, is what I've learned.

So my original Why I Have No Friends

video, I made a big mistake with that.

'Cause it popped off, which is like,

number one, you need it to pop off and go

viral.

I did that, got 1.5 million views.

But I came off as a massive weirdo creep

in the video.

If I had not— do you remember the video?

I start going on and on about how I don't

want friends because I'm not interested in

what's between men's legs, and I'm not

gay, and I only want to hang out with

people because I want cereal.

That was so weird and creepy, and

I swear to God, if I had not said that,

Hiding in My Room would have blown up more

and gotten more followers.

There was no reason to say that.

The video had already popped off just

based off the title alone.

If I had just kept it neutral and just

said, oh, I'm socially anxious, I'm shy, I

had a negative experience where my friend

physically abused me, which actually did

happen.

People would have related to it.

They would have sympathized.

And I reckon hiding my room could have

gotten to 200K subs.

But no, I went all weird in it and I was

like, oh, I don't want sex with men.

What was the point of that?

There's literally no point.

That video has like 20,000 dislikes,

although a lot of people did like it and

it's what grew my channel in the first

place.

The channel could have grown so much more

if I didn't act like a massive weirdo in

it.

So yeah, I think the trick is just don't

be a weirdo in a bad way.

How many subs have I lost already?

I didn't lose any yet.

Are you a night owl?

No, I go to bed pretty early, like 11 PM.

The only reason I stay up a lot now is

because my girlfriend keeps playing this

stupid game.

It's like League of Legends on her phone,

and she can't stop playing it.

One time she was up until like 1 AM

playing it.

What happens is she'll lose over and over

again, and then she won't stop playing it

until she gets a win.

Do you know what game it is?

It's like League of Legends.

I used to play this game too back in 2014,

and I understand the frustration.

Because you lose and you lose and you lose

and you get more and more angry and you

want a win, you end up playing it for

hours until you finally get a win.

I nearly smashed my phone once because I

got so angry playing this game.

I had to stop playing it.

It was called Vainglory.

I just got so addicted to it.

It's really annoying actually, she just

won't stop playing it.

It's like when you do trading, you revenge

trade.

You keep doing bad trades and you lose

money, and then you want to do like a

revenge trade, but then you end up losing

more money.

I don't know what it's called.

It's like some stupid mobile game.

They can be really fun when you get a good

team.

The thing is, those games, they are

designed like World of Warcraft but on

crack.

It's like exactly like World of Warcraft.

You level up, you get more powerful gear,

there's grinding mobs, there's PvP, but

it's like

World of Warcraft condensed into the span

of 20 minutes.

World of Warcraft was a long game.

You grinded for months on end, but this

game you grind for minutes and it's over

in half an hour, and then you start again.

It's really addictive.

I had to stop playing it because it just

made me so angry.

Right now I only play games where you

don't really get addicted to.

You just jump in, jump out, don't really

care about the outcome.

If I win, whatever.

If I lose, whatever.

That's what I do on Rainbow Six.

I just jump in, shoot some people.

I don't really care if I lose.

I can quit anytime I want to quit.

I don't feel addicted to it.

As soon as you feel addicted to the game,

that's when you gotta quit it.

It's bad.

Anytime you feel like you can't quit, you

gotta stop doing it.

Oh, did you see my new fancy gold card?

Finally got my metal.

I don't want to show you the numbers on

the back, someone might steal my money,

but I want to show you my card.

Okay, it's got no numbers on the front.

Look at this.

Oh yeah, Daniel Lord.

Listen,

it's actually made out of metal.

It's reinforced stainless steel,

gold-plated.

It's not real gold.

It's just— it's pretty just like gold

paint, but it's really nice.

Have you ever had a metal card?

Once you go metal, you can't go back to

plastic.

The plastic cards just feel like

children's toys.

This feels so good when you're just

holding it.

It's got like a bit of weight to it as

well.

A bit of heft.

I also— I got my credit card, but guess

what?

You won't believe it.

I don't know what's wrong with my mum

sometimes.

My mum sent me the credit card, but she

didn't send me the letter with the PIN

code on it, and then she burned the letter

without showing me the PIN code.

So now I've got to phone up the bank and

ask for a new PIN code to be sent by post,

because I don't know why they just don't

send it by email.

I don't know what's wrong with my mum,

really, honestly, because last year my

bank card expired, so my bank sent me a

new card.

My mum cut the card in half

So I had to phone up the bank and ask them

to send me a new one.

My mum said she cut the card in half

because people could steal the card and

then use it.

How are they gonna steal the card?

What, are they gonna break into the house

and then steal the card?

As if that's so unlikely to happen.

Come on.

So first she cuts my card in half.

Thinking someone's gonna steal it.

So I have to phone up the bank and get a

new one sent, and that took weeks.

And then she sent it to me after— she

didn't want to send it to me.

She kept saying, oh, someone's gonna steal

it.

I kept saying, no one's gonna steal it.

And then now this time my credit card

comes, she burns my PIN code thinking, oh,

someone knows the PIN code, they're gonna

take my money.

How are they gonna— how are they gonna use

the card with the PIN code if I have the

credit card?

Or at least take a picture of the PIN code

and send it to me.

Or I don't know, just tell me the PIN

code.

How's someone gonna steal it then?

So I swear to God, my mum doesn't make any

sense.

She is convinced someone's gonna steal my

card and then steal all my money.

It's so annoying.

So I can't use my credit card now at ATMs

or in shops.

I can use it online.

I was so angry.

I've been waiting weeks for this damn

credit card to come in the post, and then

I'm like, where's the letter?

I thought she was going to send me the

letter that came with the credit card, and

then she burns it.

Why would you burn it?

I need it.

I need the number.

Oh my God.

I guess it's not a big problem.

I wasn't planning to use the credit card

at ATMs.

That's what I got the Revolut card for.

And I wasn't planning to use the credit

card in shops anyway.

But you know, in case of emergency and I

ran out of money and I needed to use my

credit, it would have been nice to know

that I could use my credit card.

But now I can't because I've got to phone

up the stupid bank.

I can't believe she did the same similar

thing a second time.

I really should have just asked my sister

to do it.

I just thought it'd be— I assumed she was

gonna send me the letter with the card,

but I guess it was wrong of me to assume

anything.

I went onto the website and it says

request new PIN, and when I click on it,

it says there was an error with We could

not process the request.

Please phone the number.

So now I've got to phone up this stupid

bank.

I hate phoning the bank because it— number

one, it costs me money on my Skype credits

to do an international phone call, and

then I've got to wait like 30 minutes on

hold or something.

No, I didn't specifically tell her to send

the letter, but I thought she was going to

send the letter.

Obviously I need the PIN code.

I thought that's just common sense, that

you know you need a PIN code to use the

card.

Everyone knows that.

How would you not know that and then burn

the PIN code without telling me at first?

She could have at least told me the number

first and then burned it.

Oh my God,

imagine she tries cut my metal card in

half.

She said it's really cold in the UK and

she needed paper to burn, so she burned

everything.

Actually, 2 letters came, one with the PIN

code on it and one with the card on it.

They send it in separate letters.

She burned the one with the PIN code, but

she still has the letter that had the card

attached to it.

And then she kept saying, there's no

number on it, what are you talking about?

And I said, not that letter, the other

letter.

And then she kept sending me photos of the

letter that had the card on it that

doesn't have the PIN code on it, and I'm

like, No, not that one.

The letter that says, here is your PIN

code.

It literally says, here is your PIN code,

in massive text.

And I was like screenshotting that one,

drawing a massive red circle.

This one, it's in plain English,
