    Before this video was even finished I went to Patreon and signed up. I can't risk you leaving UA-cam, you mean so much to me and many others. You are one of the very, *very* few reactors on UA-cam to actually contribute to discussion in a genuinely meaningful way, and I think you are very important to the platform for that reason. If you go, the genre of reaction videos will lose so much of the credibility and integrity they once held. I truly believe you are an incredible person and your ability to dissect lyrics almost immediately never fails to impress me. I will support you through this, and if it comes to the decision of deleting the channel, I will understand. I'll probably cry, but I will understand. Have you ever thought of making other content that *can* be monetised? It may not get as many views at first but you can bet we'd watch it, whatever it may be. Maybe put up a few polls about what we'd like to see. Find something where your heart is, that also takes in money. You've probably thought of stuff already but I really just want to help.
    I can confidently say, I have never resonated with a UA-camr more than you. You just get it. You voice your interpretations in a way that speaks to me, more than anyone else on this site. And that is why I'm not letting you go.

    I tweeted this video out to Logic. I don’t know if that will help but he obviously supports you and might have some connections to help promote you brother. I watch a lot of your content. Especially the NF videos. I lost my older Brother the same way NF lost his Mother and I love the way you break down his emotions in his tracks because it’s like you’re breaking down the way I feel too. I hope you can find a way to stay, we don’t want you leaving UA-cam.

    Now that I'm almost free from it I need to put my money in places that help others and help me get better.

      Actually I see where there coming from a business point of view if your going after high level clients they look into EVERYTHING! Even stuff from 5-10 years beforehand. You have to be extremely careful with how you conduct business on that level.
      Especially when your coming in at a lower level because in reality the lower level of the companies are the people who see the most clients. They become the first impression of the company.
      It sucks yeah But you know what the 3rdFam has got his back so i don't see the channel being deleted.

      A good business would see you and this channel as a value-add. They are missing the market for high net worth companies/individuals who appreciate hip hop and would jump at the chance for you to be working for them. Also, why kinda BS policy is this? If you are working for them already, I find it hard to believe this would be valid grounds for firing an employee. If I were you, I would ask to have a conversation with the highest level person in the company you could possibly get 15 minute with.

    I gotchu with the patronage, man. You deserve to be supported and pushed to the upper echelon of music reviewers on UA-cam. I watch a lot of reactions, and I have found no one more astute, thorough (while not being long-winded), and analytical as you. No one catches as many bars, and no one connects references and wordplay. I hope others see enough value in what you do and decide to support. Nothing but love and appreciation, my dude.

    I really enjoy your content and I love it, because I love music and I also like you as a person. Watching your stuff really helps me to get more insight into the music, whether it is something about the instruments and the way they are used, the videos and how they are made/what they might mean or whether it is about some double entendres that I would otherwise not even notice I am not getting (as English is not my first language).
    So a frank thank you for what you do and don't let something like this kind of "crisis" stop you. :)

    Ultimately, this is a decision only you can make. I was a nurse for 2 decades & just started my channel in Nov, because I can no longer physically work due to medical issues. I'm my 13 year old son's mom AND dad. UA-cam is literally the ONLY financial, emotional, & mental support that I have! I'm just relying on my faith in God & busting my butt on my channel to hopefully one day have just a sustainable income to provide for myself & my son. I'm almost 40 years old! So if this doesn't work out for me, idk what I'm gonna do. So I completely understand your situation. I just subbed your channel a few weeks ago because I, too, am a reaction/bar breakdown channel & appreciate genuine lyricism....& after watching a few of your breakdowns, I subscribed. You are EXCELLENT at what you do! I am so sorry that you're in this position. Idk if you believe in God or not but if you do, pray & pray. Then make your decision.....because as I said, this is a decision only you can make. Prayers. 🙏🙏
