The State of the Channel – What I’m Doing and Why It’s Weird Now

The State of the Channel – What I’m Doing and Why It’s Weird Now
A very honest, very rambly update on where this channel is right now. I’ve changed formats, started reading essays, tried to be real about the stuff that’s been bugging me, and opened up about what it’s like creating in 2025. We’re talking algorithm headaches, attention spans, controversial takes, and why I’m still doing this even when everything’s weird.
Whether you’ve been here for years or clicked by mistake—I appreciate you. ❤️
