YouTube update

It's hard to believe all the different videos we did this year, from fixing GameCubes to waiting outside Nintendo New York to fixing watches and talking about handbags, exploring New York and Florida and running into a couple of protests.

This second year of YouTube, in 2026, I have to admit that I need to scale the channel. And the only way to do that is to build upon the videos I've already made and make videos with very specific topics that are safe for the algorithm to bring to audience members. Given the massive scale of YouTube and the relatively straightforward algorithm, and the optimization that requires as much time on the platform as possible, "safe" videos with clear topics usually win for small channels like mine. I don't think I have to do anything crazy but I also need to be slightly more strategic instead of just making completely random videos on random topics on a whim. I also want to make more videos, faster, but as someone who can't stand to have a fixed routine, that's not the first thing on my mind.

A few updates for Patreon & YouTube members: We have a little Discord server now! If you have trouble getting into the server, the link is probably broken again. You can just contact me with your Discord username and I'll message you on Discord with a link that will work.

Talk to you soon. If you'd like to see more posts from me, join us on Patreon, which will also include Discord access.
