I hate to beg for subscribers, but YouTube forced me. My YouTube channel must get 1,000 subscribers because my channel was placed into video Creator limbo. I have a channel. I can post videos, but I can't change some core properties of the channel.

I’m also required to create an extreme amount of high-quality, unique content each year to keep the status. Since I have a surprise project happening shortly, it won’t be as high of a hurdle as it has been in the past.

Thanks and stay tuned!
