It's now several days since the story with YouTube and Coppa. One barely remembers that YouTube was sued several millions and creators will soon be forced to take responsibility for YouTube's omission to comply. I guess, we will hear more about it on January 1st when there is no more escape. But up until then, I wanna share my view.

I quit YouTube.

It was fun while it lasted. Already in 2018, it became very unfunny to me to publish content. At the beginning of 2019, I stopped doing it regularily. Now, I unpublished all of my movies due to the Coppa incident.

I think, Coppa is a good thing. I think YouTube's reaction to it is bad. I found myself saying no to this platform after several days of thinking. A platform which circumvents the law to make money with children is just not what my mentailiy tells me to be right. I can't support that platform anymore.

I do not miss it. In fact, my spam email folder suddenly is very silent. That's nice.

I did have more than 1K followers, but as I only seldomly published movies the past year, not many people reacted upon the complete removal. But I don't mind. To me, it always was a hobby for myself, the occasional fans were just a bonus. Monetization was never a thing which suited me.

I'm sure, if you are a YouTube content creater yourself and would unpublish all your work now, you wold be forgotten as fast as I am.

And you know what? That's not a bad thing. There is always somebody else people will watch. You do not have to force yourself to think that you are indisposable. I quit before it could crush me. If you are thinking of doing the same, be courageous, you will feel much better. It's not that hard actually.

Too bad for all the Newgrounds Flash game videos. But hey, the games themselves will live on, as far as I've heard! So that's certainly something to look forward to!

Yeah. So that's it. Hope, some of you had some entertainmenet with my videos in the past. :)
