RE: The Post™️ and CONCERNS

#1 —> The post as a whole is woefully inaccurate and boils down to a game of telephone where things are easily misinterpreted. For example, the question regarding Thomas Sanders was not “would you ever interact with him?” It was “will your EGOs ever interact with Thomas Sanders’ egos” to which I responded, “no.” Thomas Sanders is a sweetheart as far as I know.

#2 —> We spoke on and off throughout the entire day. The full breadth of our conversation (and the context necessary to understand it) was not, and could not, be fully translated into a simple text post. I’m not attacking their credibility, nor am I attacking them, nor am I truly angry with them for making the post. However, I want to clarify that important information can get lost if someone were to walk away from a conversation with me.

#3 —> I’m not planning to quit YouTube anytime in the near future. I mentioned that I have plans beyond YouTube because I don’t expect to be doing the same thing I’m doing now until I’m old, and considering that I’m going to be entering my 30’s next year my mind is obviously thinking about how that decade of my life will shape up. I’ve told YOU guys this, but again, things can get easily misinterpreted.

#4 —> I don’t want anyone to think negatively about the person in question because of this. I don’t want ANYONE to be upset with them or attack them in any way. I’m still very happy the they were able to join the shoot, I’m happy that the Make-A-Wish Foundation was able to coordinate this, and I am glad to have spent time with them. It’s unfortunate that things that were discussed in confidence somehow got mangled and delivered to you guys with no verification.

#5 —> I messaged the person who posted it to take the post down but I also felt the need to cut the problem off with this explanation before it got any worse. Thank you for not panicking!

P.S. —> I am not “abandoning” the egos after this next video. I have no idea where this line came from but it’s flat out wrong.
