I speak for everyone on the team when I say that I’m completely blown away by the loving response to the video. It’s beyond all of our expectations and we’re so happy that you guys are enjoying the crap out of it!

It’s been a long week of sleepless nights to get this ready for Valentine’s Day so today I’m going to be taking it easy and spending the day with Amy. There will be a return to the normal video schedule by tomorrow but for now it’s time to unwind after the marathon of the past week. Thank you all again for the nonstop support, there will be a charity livestream this Saturday, and expect more cool stuff like this in the future!

It came to my attention yesterday that some have been pointing to my videos and saying that I am giving credibility to the anti-Semitic movement, and my fans are part of it as well for watching. I don’t want to cite the sources because I don’t want to give them any more attention.

This originated from a video I made a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to show how crazy the modern world is, specifically some of the services available online. I picked something that seemed absurd to me—That people on Fiverr would say anything for 5 dollars.

I think it’s important to say something and I want to make one thing clear: I am in no way supporting any kind of hateful attitudes.

I make videos for my audience. I think of the content that I create as entertainment, and not a place for any serious political commentary. I know my audience understand that and that is why they come to my channel.  Though this was not my intention, I understand that these jokes were ultimately offensive.

As laughable as it is to believe that I might actually endorse these people, to anyone unsure on my standpoint regarding hate-based groups: No, I don’t support these people in any way.

Thanks for reading.
