We need to talk...this is gonna be long so sorry 😅. I've been creating VR/Quest content for nearly five years now. I've uploaded over 700 videos, spent countless hours most of the time 7 days a week working or at least thinking about what I'm doing next or what's coming. I love VR but more than that I love creating videos that people can enjoy or find useful. The reality is that I'm really tired. I didn't realize how tired until I took a month off for Christmas and the longer than expected studio remodel. I'm not going anywhere don't worry and neither is the channel, just bear with me. You may have noticed quite a few sponsored videos lately. I know there has been some backlash about that but being totally honest the world we live in is expensive and the ad revenue on YouTube is not good. Most months it's not even enough to pay for food for the family and electricity let alone heat, housing, medical, and everything else. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely blessed and I wouldn't change it for the world. I say all of that to explain that at times sponsored content is literally feeding my family and keeping us warm. It's not about getting rich it's about providing for my family. And at the end of the day no matter how much I want to do YouTube and cover VR just for fun and because I love it this is how as a husband and father I am making sure my family is taken care of. I turn down way more sponsored content than I post based on just not liking the content or not thinking it would be a good fit. Long story short, I'm making some changes. I love this VR community and I love that the Quest has brought us all together in a manner of speaking but for my mental health and for the health of my time and family and just life in general I'm adjusting my content. I'm going to do some sponsored content here and there to make sure I can actually pay my bills 😅and some traditional BMFVR content like updates etc but I'm also gonna start working on the videos I've been wanting to do for years. Showcasing VR and showing people how amazing it is. I'm extremely blessed not just to do this for a living but in life and family. I'm even blessed enough to have the business capital to get the new Apple Vision Pro to hopefully bring some new content and new people into the fold. Anyways that's it. I just wanted to explain how things are going and get this off of my chest. I hope it all makes sense and thanks for reading my novel 😂. My love to you and everyone.
