=== A Lot of Work (03:40) ===

[00:00:00]  So I'm going through a kind of transitional period at the moment with what I'm doing because I've got quite a few interesting projects that are lined up that are taking a lot of work to get off the ground.
[00:00:12]  But believe me, you'll be the first to know when they are ready.
[00:00:16]  But in the meantime, people keep asking me, could you bring back this week in Stupid?
[00:00:20]  And I was thinking about it, and it's a lot of work to dedicate an entire day to do it, basically.
[00:00:25]  And so I thought it might be easier if I just did a sort of daily This Week in Stupid segment about whatever it was that I'd been researching that day.
[00:00:34]  Because keeping up with current events is a huge part of my job, as you might expect.
[00:00:40]  And I spend a lot of time doing it.
[00:00:41]  And it would be nice to be able to more easily just upload that part of what I would do in This Week in Stupid.
[00:00:48]  And if I do it every day, it's just easy, especially if I've got a fairly quick workthrough, which I have on my new channel called A CAD Daily.
[00:00:57]  I've been trying it out.
[00:00:59]  It's essentially the same kind of model I had on the Thinkry, which was never meant to be for the kind of This Week in Stupid replacement.
[00:01:06]  So this is.
[00:01:07]  This is what I'll be doing instead of This Week in Stupid, because a sort of like, you know, 10 to 15 minute segment on whatever it is I'd like to talk about in regards to what's going on is a lot more manageable for me as I'm doing other things in the background.
[00:01:23]  And so the question is, what will this channel be for?
[00:01:25]  Well, I hope it's become apparent that this channel will become for long form content, like the Epstein stuff, which I felt was worth your time.
[00:01:34]  And the next long form video I'm going to finish is the Demolition Man one, the politics of Demolition Man, because I think it's important and timely and worth doing.
[00:01:46]  So that'll be that.
[00:01:47]  So for anyone backing me on Subscribestar, I will still, of course, be making content.
[00:01:52]  I just want you to be able to know where to find it.
[00:01:55]  And like I said, I have a few other projects in the works about things that should up the game and push us to the next level, is effectively the way I'm looking at it.
[00:02:08]  Because there's a good chance we'll be able to find backers for what we're going to do.
[00:02:13]  And we'll probably do a crowdfund as well.
[00:02:16]  But if we can raise a good chunk of money, then we can do a lot of good things.
[00:02:24]  This is the reason for the delay in the Good Christians as well.
[00:02:28]  There are actually many reasons to have to do this.
[00:02:31]  A lot of them are from business perspective as well.
[00:02:34]  And tax perspectives, things like that.
[00:02:37]  But also because I really do think that YouTube has got their thumb on the scales against this channel now.
[00:02:43]  Ever since it was demonetized, they've refused to remonetize it, obviously.
[00:02:47]  And I think it downranks it quite significantly.
[00:02:50]  And so it's like, okay, YouTube, fine.
[00:02:51]  I'll go and do something else with my time as well, shall I?
[00:02:57]  And so, yes, I think this is going to be a way for you guys to be able to get the content that you were looking for.
[00:03:04]  Because I know I disappointed a lot of people when I said I don't have time to do it.
[00:03:08]  Because I really didn't have time to do it.
[00:03:10]  But if I can do a small amount each day, then that's a lot easier.
[00:03:14]  And you guys will still get the same end effect.
[00:03:16]  I think this is a good solution because then you guys get what you want.
[00:03:19]  I still get to make the content that I want to make.
[00:03:21]  And I think we'll all benefit.
[00:03:23]  And when this new thing is done, it should be very nice.
[00:03:28]  And I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised.
[00:03:31]  But I'm not going to spoil anything until then.
[00:03:34]  So in the meantime, I will leave a link to a CAD daily in the description box and in the comments.
