Rest In Peace

I paused my life for just a moment. Over the past two years I've subscribed to many channels on YouTube. Little did I realize that 50 of them had fallen off the dusty trail. Some of these channels just threw in the towel. Others had violated so many of YouTube's rules that YouTube had to remove them from the internet. But no matter what happened, they are gone. I say, Rest In Peace.

Will I walk away quietly? No. I came to YouTube for a reason. Even today people are facing eviction and starvation. And I simply can't ignore that fact. If I quit, people could become homeless and hungry. And I won't have that on my consicenc.

The one thing to remember about YouTube is if you are going to participate in the community, you need to be in it for the long haul. Winners never quit and quitters never win. Are people going to pick on you? Of course. But you can't just sit back and let them do it. You have to let them know what they did wrong and if it's serious enough, you have to block them. It's a long struggle, but you can succeed. I did and I'm still succeeding.

There are two types of people in this world. Those that put up and those that shut up. You have to ask yourself which one you are. The mentality of my father's side of the family was that it was better to die than lose. And if you're fighting for the right causes, then their mentality is a good mentality to live by. I personally won't give up until everyone has a fair chance at a decent education. You have my word.
