I just want to reassure you that I'm still quite juicy, as is evident by my physique today.
No, okay, that's not the topic of today's video.
I just want to reassure you of the fact that I will continue, continue on the holy work, even though I am shadow banned.
And I thought to mention this, I didn't want to mention it at first, but I have had this sensation that I've been shadow banned for about half a year now.
And at this particular moment in time, I can quite safely assume that this is the case.
So what we're talking about is people being unsubscribed, so regular cleaning of my subscriber base, so to speak, so that people get unsubscribed, people do not receive notification, my videos doesn't show up in the newsfeed, etc.
So I'm not completely certain about all the different algorithms that might be coming to play here, but definitely there is something that is dodgy, that is something that has not been on my channel before.
And I can see this even though I've set a very high pace as of late, the subscriber count, it doesn't change.
And I've seen this before on Facebook.
I've been at 23,000 likes on Facebook for about two years now, despite being consistent in posting content.
Obviously, except for when I'm banned, which I've been for two months of this year.
So I've seen this before and yeah, I'm not particularly happy about it, of course.
And the reason for that is that 100,000 subscribers on YouTube has always been the goal, the main goal that I've always been striving towards, a sort of life goal.
And even though it might not matter if I still reach the same amount of people, it matters to me because I wanted to reach my goal.
That's always been a philosophy of mine.
I like to reach my goal.
I like to say that I'm going to do something and then I do it.
That's part of my teachings.
You set goals and you achieve them.
So for me, even though the end result is the same, even though I have reached a lot of guys with my teachings over the years, it is still something, at least for me personally, that I would like to have had.
I would like to have the silver play YouTube button there somewhere in the library here in the Shrine of Glory and just have had that achievement.
But now as it looks right now, not sure if or when that will happen.
I am quite certain though that if this shadow ban thing didn't happen I would already have reached 100,000 subscribers if I would have kept the trend from before when I think the shadow ban happened and that might have been in April or May this year.
So on a personal level it's quite it's quite heartbreaking but that being said you know it's just a personal goal of mine.
It doesn't affect anyone else.
Well okay it kind of does If they aren't reached by my teachings in time and they perhaps go through a hard time and then they are bereft of my benevolent light, but in the grand scheme of things, it's more about my personal goal being taken away from me.
But that being said, I can still distinguish between my personal feelings and my holy work.
So the holy work continues on as before.
I have plenty of videos to make, I have plenty of motivation to make them too.
Even though, of course, I'm a bit demoralized when I realize that that goal perhaps will not happen.
But it's the same thing if you stall in the gym, for example.
You must still train, you must still train hard, even though you know that each KG extra in progression takes its toll.
And when I look upon all of these years, when I reminisce about all of these years and all the hard work I've put in, it's quite ridiculous to be honest to not be over 100,000 subscribers yet.
But it is what it is, life isn't fair.
I just have to keep pushing.
That's the only reasonable course of action.
So again, thank you for your support.
And also, don't worry, I will keep pushing, even though it might be the case that it's for nothing, but it's only for nothing in regards to my own personal goal of reaching 100,000 subscribers.
Can you help?
Yeah, definitely.
You can help.
Make sure to always like my videos, that helps to a certain extent at least.
But other than that, yeah, no, I don't know.
Share my videos around.
If you have a channel, do like I have done to so many other people over all these years, give them shout-outs.
So if I count the amount of times I've promoted other people versus the time I've been promoting themselves, it's like without exaggerating 100 to 1.
So always the first to promote other people.
But yeah, where are you all who can promote me?
Would definitely appreciate some support in this regard.
And it might sound a bit bitter when I say that, and that's because I am.
So yeah, anyway, I am going to hit the Temple of Iron now.
Going to do some deadlifts for Thor, some push press for Atlas.
It will be a joyous gym session.
And yeah, the lesson for today, even though things are going slowly, just keep pushing.
