It’s been a while since the last video, so you’ve probably been wondering when the next one is coming. I’ve been really tempted to make an in-depth video analysis of Starfield. There’s so much to say about the game, its politics, its development and the various public reactions. But unfortunately I’ve actually decided that it’s time to retire American Krogan. That may come as a surprise, but it’s a decision I’ve been vacillating on for over a year.
Since being banned from YouTube in 2019, I’ve been working under the assumption that eventually the money issue would sort itself out, but there’s still no monetization model or a pathway to one. This isn’t going to change. A few folks have been extremely generous with donations, and while I’m grateful, the sum total over all the years just can’t make up for a missing monetization model. I made a lot of sacrifices to do all this as long as I did, and I'm at the point where I can't continue.
As far as what happens now, all my accounts will remain up, but there won’t be any more videos or projects. I might use my accounts to promote other people's work, but I will become less and less active as I pursue other things.
I want to thank all the people who gave what support they could over the years. I also want to thank all the content creators, activists and writers from whom I learned and drew inspiration. Lastly, I want to thank all of you for taking the time to watch my videos. It’s been quite a remarkable journey, and I have become a better person because of it.
