Channel Announcement, Stupid Ideas, and More

Hello everyone,  

I have an announcement regarding the future of the channel as a business, and that is my very first employee.    

Why?  

Well quite honestly ever since I crossed the 100k subscriber mark I've had people clambering on to try and get sponsorships, and collaborations, and networking, and sales etc, easily 10+ business emails a day.   

Then Youtube CEO Susan decided, in her infinite wisdom, to remove playlists as an automatic feature, meaning I have to do more channel management.   

And now Patreon, in their constant quest to break what works fine, have complicated the messages features and now it always shows me as having unread messages when I actually haven't.   

Overall, utter nightmare. So much so that it got to the point that most of my time/effort was in the admin work; editing, uploading, adsense, accounting, playlists - and all of this across two channels. 

Basically before I'd even had time to start recording I was absolutely exhausted.

So, after deep introspection, I have made the decision to seek help.

Mental, physical, and spiritual help. 

And a channel manager.  

Without any further ado, let me introduce the new channel manager: It's Elise.  

Elise, as in my fiancée, and girl what I live with, and star of the legendary Christmas series. 

She will be the channel manager.  It's a very simple choice, she is competent, and if there are any technical issues I can walk all of about twenty-feet and solve it. And I trust her, because if she does anything wrong I can THROW HER INTO THE STREET TO FREEZE AND BANISH HER FROM MY HOME.

Which, as I understand, is not a legal course of action if an actual channel manager makes a mistake.

What will her jobs be? 

- Managing Patreon lists, and making sure the right people are getting shout outs (something that previously took me hours and hours and hours) 

- Managing playlists and making sure they're all looking nice and tidy 

- Making sure the accountancy stuff is up to date, ready to be sent to my actual accountant

I'm sure I'll think of more stuff for her to do at some point.  Basically this leaves me with recording, video editing, thumbnails, and uploading. And mod packs. And ideas. And Discord/Email management.

So a regular amount of stuff left for me to do. 

Ha ha.

So fingers crossed this will save me a little bit of time but add a nice amount of polish to the channel as a whole!   

She's already started on making some playlists for the main channel of forgotten or old videos that have been fished out between the cracks of the Youtube sofa, that honestly, after watching a few, should have been left there forever.  

Eventually, when she has earned my trust, I might even let her edit some of my videos. But baby steps, she might prove to be an untrustworthy evil witch.
