So do you still need me to click and comment on YouTube? For the algorithm.

Oh, sweetie...you're welcome to, but you're never obligated. I don't want anyone to feel like my work is their work. You are appreciated, Ray. Hope your 2025 is off to a good start. It's kinda weird here so far. Cheers!

I apologise for not being clear. I am happy to click and comment on YT. It is no obligation in my mind. But I usually comment there but repeat it on Substack. I have assumed that clicking and commenting on Substack doesn't doesn't affect your income on Substack. I can do it on both.

I’m not sure how comments impact YouTube revenue, but I know it doesn’t impact Substack. That said, I’d rather you do whatever you wanna do. I think the community growing here is more meaningful and has the ability to connect like-minded people more. Whatever you do or don’t do, I appreciate you, boo. 🌈✌️

I will continue to do as I have been doing. I agree that, generally speaking, Substack is more supportive and inclusive.

Clint:

Your new plan sounds like the way to go.

Glad to hear that you are not in danger down In SoCal. Keep your hose at the ready.

Thank you, sir. You've done plenty of magic over the last many months. Either I will learn how to fly again--on YouTube--or I won't. Making some minor changes might do the trick. Only Al/Algorithm knows.

As for me, my area is far enough away from everything that I'm safe--knock on wood. The winds were nuts yesterday and the ash/smoke seems to cover half the state. Hope Mother Nature takes a break and let's the firefighters work their magic. 2025 is off to a weird start for sure. Cheers! 🌈✌️
