Hey maybe this is weird because how it's been two weeks and I don't participate much in either communities anymore but I just want to say I appreciate everyone coming out with this stuff about URealms and Rob. After the Digital Bards video there was a bad taste in my mouth and Lily ended putting it into words perfectly in her original statement. I'm not someone who's ever had more than a few minor actual interactions with Rob, but I've seen enough over the years to say I believe everyone's stories about him. As someone who could be considered a "big donor" at one point to his show, that video felt like a huge guilt trip after having spent a year with no money, being unable to donate. It wasn't until near the end of the video that I started to realize that there was some heavy emotional manipulation happening. I have spent two weeks feeling so stupid having spent all that money on donations over the years, while working minimum wage jobs no less. I feel like I have more to say but my perspective isn't super necessary as at the end of it I was just a fan who wasn't involved BTS or anything. But again, I just want to thank everyone who spoke out since I think it shook me out of a negative feedback loop regarding my perspective of Rob.

Hey Everyone If you haven't been keeping up with my work, I have (very dramatically) ended URealms Live with a big video called Digital Bards which expresses a lot of different themes and sentiments about streaming and making content online. If you consider yourself a fan and have followed my career at all, I highly recommend watching it and if you got the time the breakdown video that really dives into the feelings behind this movie. I'm done making content for now. I don't really know if my community will support me doing this, but it's frustrating to hear "you need a break" as month by month my numbers and support drop until I make a big plea every year to get paid ya know? I understand it's part of the gig, but after 15 years, it's getting really hard to keep going at the unhealthy speed I have gone. Too many people I would meet at conventions would try to grind the same way I have and it's honestly just heartbreaking because I can still feel like a failure who hasn't made anything of value when I know that isn't true.

Viewers are not fans. Viewers are people who come for X content and leave when it's done.  While a lot of "viewers" can pay your bills temporary, if your an artist online you are at their mercy forced to make your art unless you can smoothly transition to the next project. I have transitioned from project to project and every time I do there are some viewers who leave, but I notice more and more "Fans" who have just been around longer and longer and don't value the content as much as they value me. Some of my fans have been supporting me these last few years and didn't even watch URealms Live, they were just waiting for what comes next. Many of you have reached out to me since this video. Both positive and negative. But the love I have received has been so personally rewardomg that it has been very inspiring and I'm excited to work on this new show which really won't start get going until the new year. If you aren't impressed with what I'm doing yet, understand that I have had no real time to make this show and I will need a few months to really get it to a sweet spot like any other project.
