I wish I could say this was because of fun reasons, but the fact is Youtube demonetizes most of my videos these days, the algorithm hasn't been kind to me in a while, and my Patreon payouts have been decreasing every month for the last few months. I've gone from gaining 1k subscribers a month to less than 300. I don't say this to make anyone feel bad, they're just facts and they've been stressing me out. As some of you know I'm trying to move out as I'm not in a great living situation, and then once I'm moved I need to be making enough money to stay in that apartment. I don't know what else I can do to try and get things back to where they were other than go back to what I was doing when things were at their peak.
For those unaware, back in September 2023 to December 2023 I temporarily switched from 2 uploads a week to 3. This was because of Youtube demonitising most of my videos. I dropped back down to 2 a week as doing 3 a week was stressful and burning me out. However, it was the most successful period I've ever had on Youtube so I think the smartest move would for me to go back to that.
Hopefully it won't stress me out as much as last time, and at the very least I shouldn't have to worry about running low on audio ideas as I have many Patreon members now who leave requests on our audio requests roundup posts over there every month. (Requesting an audio on Patreon doesn't guarantee your request will be fulfilled, but I prioritise Patreon requests over requests from social media). So if you want to keep the idea pool full then please be sure to leave your requests for audios on the request roundup posts over on Patreon.
Thank you guys so much for your continued support, I know I'm incredibly lucky to be getting any views and be making any money from my audios and art. I have so many ideas of OCs I want to introduce you guys too, taking other OCs of mine and making them into audio OCs, comics, multiple-choice-ending audios, and so much more. It's just finding the time between audios, running my Etsy shop, apartment hunting, streaming, general life stuff, etc. But I hope you guys stick around. Thank you.
EDIT: Please do not leave comments giving suggestions of alternate things to do, and especially do not give me unsolicited mental health or medical advice. I did not ask for either of these things and getting them unsolicited makes me very uncomfortable. I am fully capable of making the decision to go back to 3 audios a week and fully capable of knowing when I'm stressed and if I need to take breaks or slow down. I know you guys are trying to be nice, but some of these comments have crossed my boundaries and I've had to delete them.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation prince :( I'm excited to see more audios but always remember to take care and not burn yourself out :)
