So I had originally planned on making a video about the whole hacking situation that happened on my account maybe about like two months ago I know I made a post about it and you guys are probably wondering where the video's at But I decided to dive deeper and talk about more about my channel and And myself as a whole rather than just one specific topic So I just want to give you guys a heads up that this is gonna be more of a serious topic And I hope you guys stick around to listen to what I have to say if you weren't following me on Twitter I made a post about how I'm no longer a full-time beat-to-break content creator and if you guys haven't read that I'll post that down below in the description But basically in that post I talked about how I've been battling with myself mentally and the reason why is because I've thought to myself One am I gonna be doing five or 10 years down the line? Am I still gonna be making beat-to-break content? I can't really see myself doing that because the reality is that the older you get the harder it is for you to play Whenever I would play high notes per second levels I can start feeling my risk giving up even after stretching and that's just not a good sign Now I could play slower levels. However the foundation of my channel has been built around playing faster levels And I feel like if I start shifting gears my subscribers are gonna be disappointed It's kind of like if you decided to open up a coffee shop and sell nothing but caffeine for years And then all of a sudden you start selling nothing but decaf your customers I'm not gonna be very happy about that regardless being a beat-to-break content creator really gives no growth for me or for anyone And it's honestly kind of sad because you know I hear people tell me that they want to be a beat-to-break content creator But in my head I'm just thinking man you really don't want to be one Because it's such a niche game, you know like the entry barrier to Play beat saber in the first place you need at least what is it like $300 for the the meta to or quest to I'm gonna call it the quest to because that's what it is but the quest to and You need to buy the game which is $20 and that's already a $300 plus investment and not everyone wants to do that That's a very that's a very a hefty price tag to play one game Which is the reason why the beat saber player base has always remained small and the people that watch beat saber videos on YouTube 95% of them I'm never gonna try the game. Don't even get me started about the whole copyright system Some of you guys have probably heard stories about it But in case you don't know whenever I upload a video that has music in it If that music is copyrighted whoever owns the license to that song they get all the money You guys can still watch the video just fine. It's just I don't make a single penny from it It's always been a gamble whether or not the music in the video is copyrighted Obviously, I'm not gonna upload something that's like top 50 hits by Justin Bieber or Rihanna But if I upload seven videos and they're all copyright claimed my income will be hindered because of that You know, I've been letting this channel stay here for a long time and to be honest I don't know what to do with it I know some of you guys are saying just upload whatever you want to upload bad dudes But to be honest, I don't want to do that because if I do and the video only gets like a thousand two thousand views It's not really gonna look good in reflection of my subscriber counts There are some of you guys out there that have probably made the slightest judgment over someone's subscriber count versus their viewership count Like wow, this guy has millions of subscribers But they're only gaining like 10,000 20,000 views And regardless of what I do there are always gonna be people out there that are gonna ask for beat saber Which I understand because that's what you guys subscribed for But when you're constantly asked about where's beat saber it kind of sucks because that's what you're known for I'm not necessarily complaining about it because that's just how youtube and even twitch That's just how it works So anyways, I let my channel stay here for a long time and then one day I woke up to a bunch of DMs People telling me that my channel got hacked and I was just like at first I thought it was some sort of prank But then I I checked my youtube channel and it was actually hacked I'm not quite sure how it happened in the first place they probably stole my cookies as funny as that sounds They probably stole the my browser's cookies and they were able to just get in without having to sign in if that makes sense Because when when I was logging on to make computer I can still sign in just fine I was able to use my password and whatnot like it didn't change the password or anything So it wasn't hard getting my account back or anything I had access to it I just contacted youtube telling them that my account was hacked just so they're aware of the situation and they don't terminate my accounts While we're on the topic about accounts being hacked I know I have a lot of younger people that watch my channel and I want to give you guys a heads up I want to be a hundred percent real with you guys Make sure you guys secure your accounts use two-factor authentication Do not use the same password for everything Literally do not use the same password for everything I think that should be common sense for a lot of people But if you're one of those people that have a password one two three as for for all your logins Change it immediately I personally use those password generator apps so I can keep track of all my information I want to include this in this video too because I know I have a lot of gullible kids that watch my videos Do not fall for any discord scams and that includes stuff like hey try out my free game or Discord mod hype or whatever it's called squad hype Don't ever fall for those um, it's it's not or even like the nitro the free nitro stuff like oh join this link have five invite five people to this discord you get free nitro those are most likely scams and they're not gonna get you anywhere Other than your account being stolen that is I just want you guys to be safe But anyways, yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed the video and I'll see you guys I don't even know when but I hope you guys have a great rest of your day peace You
