I sadly decided to leave YouTube forever because I didn’t have enough views and subscribers (not counting that one scammer channel with no videos).

I also have to mention when the YouTube team decided to update their YouTube Partner Program by doubling their required watch hours from 4,000 to 8,000, which completely destroy small channels by the beginning of Feburary 2027.

The only thing I had for me was my [Twitch page](https://www.twitch.tv/pluckthedragonvr) for my VRChat livestreams, which I haven’t live streaming for a long time and without my VR headset, which I’m still eager for the [Steam Frame](https://store.steampowered.com/hardware/steamframe) to come out, which cost CDN$ 1,529.

Speaking of which, here it is! And about time, too!
