Hey there. Found your account randomly while searching Deviantart. Soo, your DA account is fine, but your YouTube account, there’s some problems. Every single strategy used by the most annoying YouTubers is used in your videos, including: 1. Clickbait thumbnails, 2. Way too much forced messages to subscribe, and 3. Cheesy gameplay that everyone has already done. I assume when you get to 1000 subs it’ll be at an all time low forever as you’ll start spamming ads at every single second.

Woah woah, where's this come from? Are you actually mad? Such unnecessary hostility for a small channel that has literally done nothing wrong. Lemme go over your points, though.
1) Clickbait thumbnails - No...? I mean, I will guess you saw my most recent upload and immediately assumed that's how they all look. I have a structure for all my videos, and gameplay videos take a character or moment as the highlight, alongside the episode number and title. Very formulaic, very safe, and not very interesting. My vlog isn't clickbait either, the title clearly shows there's a new direction for the channel - how exactly do you convey that in a thumbnail when it's still a gaming-related focus? If I was clickbaiting, don't you think people would actually be watching my videos like all the other clickbait channels out there? I've worked my ass off nearly 5 years on that channel and hold myself to very high standards, which leads me to point...
2) Forced sub messages - Where? I mean, every channel on the site is in a state now of "Welcome to the video, before we begin, make sure to like, also hit sub, also hit that bell for daily notifications, also buy my merch, also follow my Twitter and Twitch, also join my Discord, also..." and so on, well before the video even begins, and then again at the end. I pride myself on not begging for that shit like everyone else, I see it as petty. In my gameplay videos, the only time subscribe is mentioned really, is at the end when the animation shows in the final 20 seconds - which is simply a bit of text, so I'm not even asking. A call to action is what it's called, and it's perfectly fine to do on an end card, but I assure you it is not forced. Again, you might have watched the recent vlog - in vlogs, as it's a more personal video and not gameplay, I tend to remind folks I do have a Twitch I work on weekly, and have a Discord and Twitter - because folks watching my vlogs might be interested to know that, they must want to know something about me if they watch the vlog to begin with. And again, I maybe mention subscribing once in vlogs, but never at the start of the video like every other desperate start-up channel out there. If anything, I do so little calls to action, it's arguable I need to do more to actually help my channel to grow.
And 3) Cheesy gameplay that everyone has already done - I mean... So what? The stuff I enjoy watching is gameplay-centred, as is many other peoples type of content. I make the type of content I want to make. It's not really my fault if you consider it cheesy due to your own personal distastes, and furthermore, the gaming market is thoroughly over saturated - I'm well aware of that. I don't really care, though. I'm very happy with the videos I make, hence why I've made them for almost 5 years, and why comments like this ultimately aren't going to make me stop or feel bad for having fun doing what I enjoy. Being part of the MLP fandom, you should know personally how it feels to have someone shit all over something you care about and call it stupid or make fun of you for it, so why do it to me? I understand if I WAS as bad as the claims you're accusing me of, but I REALLY think you're grossly over-exaggerating how bad you think my Channel is. I know my videos aren't that great, maybe not at all, but don't you dare try and tell me I'm something I'm not with the content I put out. I have too much pride in my work for that.
Leading me to point 4) 1000 subs & spam ads - Nope. I already had monetization way back in the day, and I made - once again - a personal promise to myself not to force ads, not to put long ads, not to put mid-roll ads, I put the bog standard minimum ads that YT let me put on. And I made ZILCH. I was totally happy to make nothing, my focus was on growth over money - and still is today. I see people stream on Twitch constantly talking about money in a way to guilt their audience into donating or subbing, and I promise you now you can ask all the 2 people who come to my stream every Sunday and they could tell you how little money means to me, and how I never pressure them to do ANYTHING for me. And how all those other assumptions of yours are based on nothing but an unfair dislike over something you probably haven't even given a real chance. At the rate I'm going, I may never reach 1000 subs. Even if I did, I need 4000hrs watch time to get partnered. Do I expect it to happen? It's taken 5 years for 730+ subscribers, I highly doubt I'll NOT hit it, but I'll certainly not hit it any time soon. And when I do, yes, I'll make money from my videos where possible, but you can bet your sweet ass I will stick to my word and not plaster them with ads. I already berate channels I find that do that - 10 min video, 7 ads. Bullshit. I find that kind of video creating soulless and exploitative.
You'll probably not take what I've said and consider it sincere, you'll probably think I'm just another internet douche looking to make money - but I really think you're misjudging me quite unjustly, and would thank you to maybe not go around blindly criticising someone you haven't even taken the time to learn about.

1. If all your other videos aren’t CAPITAL LETTER titles, why is that one the only one?
2. Channels who ask their viewers to subscribe to them before the video even starts gets to me. Like, why even subscribe if you haven’t even seen their content?
3. Your gameplay videos looks like any other gameplay video, except without ear-bleeding screaming.
4. I’ve seen those shit Fortnite videos which have over 6 ads crammed into a 10 min video. Which is really annoying for me.
I thought you were another one of those Fortnite guys at first, but okay. I’ll let you off and say everything I said in that comment was wrong.

Depending on the context I like to capitalise - The "Crab People" South Park video because in the South Park show the crab people just loudly hum "CRAB PEOPLE... CRAB PEOPLE... LOOK LIKE CRAB, WALK LIKE PEOPLE" or some nonsense. And Sonic Montage 2 Ultimate, because the text in the logo is all capitalised already - and I also worked extra hard on this video - I capitalised it for emphasis. Same with "THE POWER OF LOVE!" I all-caps if I want to convey a "shouting" expression. The clickbaity-ist thing I can see in my recent uploads was "LIVE SHINY MELTAN", but I did indeed find a Shiny in the video - other Channels such as aDrive put that sort of stuff in their video without finding a Shiny, put still had a 10+ min ad ridden video.
Yep. I've gotten to the stage now where I basically don't follow channels that do all that at the start of the video. It's very telling that that's all that matters to that channel.
But yeah, it's very hard to differentiate your gameplay channel from anyone elses. I've done my best, trying to separate myself from the crowd with things like the coloured borders on the thumbnails (blue for my solo stuff, yellow for colab's, green for my old DuoShock show, etc), making montage and compilations that people might like, and currently my new focus is to try review-type gameplay (and non-gameplay) content, similar to other Channels like Scott the Woz or Caddicarus. A more personalised comedic cover of a game, rather than just a Let's Play.
Also, no - fuck Fortnite. Not one of those people, thankfully. And I don't jump on game bandwagon's like other folks do - otherwise you might see Fortnite then Apex plastered all over my channel, but I do have my standards like I mentioned. But I appreciate you being civil in your response and not just ignoring what I had to say, it seems like we see mostly eye-to-eye now. Sorry if my channel gave you the wrong impression!

Hurt or Heal GameRules
A list of ponies from MLP:FIM will be up, and every pony will have a starting health of 10. Hurt votes will decrease the amount of health for that pony, while heal votes will add to that pony's health.
Users may vote only once every hour, however they have two votes to cast every time. You may vote for a heal for one pony, and a hurt for another. Or you double heal ONE pony, or double hurt ONE pony.
The last pony standing is the winner.
Factions such as the Solar Empire, Lunar Republic, and Crystal Empire are allowed.
Ponies' health will be capped at a maximum of 25.
Examples:
Echo: Double hurt Fluttershy - YES
Terrawin: Heal Fluttershy, hurt Rainbow Dash - YES
Zeliphron - Double heal Flluttershy - YES
Maeltop - Double hurt Fluttershy, double heal Rainbow Dash - NO
~I will now be posting my moves so it's more fair I guess~
Game Master's Move: Double hurt Sunset Shimmer
Alive and Kickin Check dis think out!

Hey! Sup? (I love saying sup!) Anyways I was watching the last episode of MLP and I thought that's very similar to the plot Adams doing for his fan series.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's minorly similar in the sense the Discord goes back to evil, but mine is only centered on him and the effect it has on Fluttershy. Since the finale I need to do some re-writing to make it seem believable in its place in time, since I put it before Season 4.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm... How are you going to animate Discord? is there like a puppet of Discord?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is, but it's not as well constructed as I would like.
I'm just hoping either someone fixes it up, someone makes a newer one, or maybe someone will join my team who makes puppets who could make it them self. Or maybe I could learn how to build Puppets myself and make one -- but that would get in the way of all the other stuff I have to do. We'll see.

I'm sure everything will come together... Is Discord going to be funny In your series?
(Random question alert)^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think from my initial writings I have made him completely serious -- for the most part I believe, anyway.
Part of touching up the script is to make him funnier, that's for sure. He is definitely slightly out of character in my script because of how I've written him -- gonna try and fix that.
I mean, the best part about Discord is how funny he is, so I can't just leave that out entirely. More of an accident that I have, more than anything else.

This series will be epic, Discord is now my favourite character. use to be Pinkie Pie but since the cheese sandwich episode she's just declined.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pinkie in Season 4 didn't know what she was anymore. I actually liked her more in Pinkie Apple Pie and Pinkie Pride than any other S4 episodes. But she was never one of my faves anyway.
Discord is definitely my favourite character, just behind Rainbow Dash (for obvious Sonic The Hedgehog-related favourtism), and the finale just topped it for me on how much I love his character
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Out of all the MLP characters, my favourite character is now Discord. Which is kind of odd because you would think it would be a pony. I love the last line Discord says "Wait where's my throne." I burst out laughing. He sounded like a child, it was so funny I put it on repeat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Absolutely brilliant.
But honestly, I cannot love him more than his realization. Screw the realization of the Mane 6 to get their keys -- but his realization after his capture. Going evil again in the actual cannon of MLP was both expected, but daring. Will he stay permanently evil or not? Cos we saw that coming, but probably not being friends again -- which I'm glad they did. I was hoping for it after he made the wrong choice.
But the line, or more or less the whole scene, that does it for me here is: "You are, Fluttershy. You are the pony who taught me that Friendship Is Magic. I had friendship, and magic. And now... I have nothing."
... I love you, Discord.
True clarity in this whole Season that he did really care for the ponies -- Fluttershy at least -- but at the end of them we can see he cares for all 6, and they likely care for him (Twilight and Flutters do for sure -- but I'm sure in S5 Rainbow Dash and maybe AJ will still be a bit iffy with him. Or not. I assume not.)
Discord as a whole in the finale was just brilliant. I mean, the Mary Poppins introduction to him? PRICELESS!

Adam. You are da man! I love what you're doing on youtube and it makes me happy to see a project grow! You are also emotionally deep and inspiring! Bro hoof! (first time I said that actually)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's really, really kind of you to say ^_^" I really hope I don't disappoint then, considering how little of the project has progressed in the last couple of months due to me waiting on a PC -- but in June I should have it and we should be back on track
Bro Hoof, indeed! /)
