April 27, 2009, I started YouTube with zero subscribers. September 4, 2026, I finally hit a dream I’ve been chasing for over 17 years: 100,000 subscribers. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t accomplish something. I’ve had friends and family tell me I would never reach 100K. I’ve been told my channel was dead, nobody watched me anymore, and I was wasting my time. I’ve spent countless nights streaming to audiences much smaller than some of my peers. I’ve made videos I believed in that barely went anywhere. I’ve watched other people grow faster, get bigger opportunities, and reach milestones while I was still grinding toward mine. But I kept going because I genuinely love doing this. And through all of it, I never wanted to change who I was just to make a bag off YouTube. For better or worse, what you’ve seen over the years has always been me. So thank you. Thank you to everyone who ever subscribed, watched a video, left a comment, hit the like button, shared something I made, or supported me in any way. Even if you don’t watch anymore, you were still part of this journey. Thank you to every friend, creator, and peer who collaborated with me, shouted me out, put my name out there, or was willing to associate themselves with what I was building. To the friends I lost along the way, thank you too. And to everyone who doubted me, laughed at me, hated on me, or told me I couldn’t do it… Thank you. You gave me another reason to keep going. For years I said that if I ever reached 100K, I could walk away happy even if the channel never grew another subscriber. What most people didn’t know is that I had privately given myself until my next YouTube anniversary to reach this goal. If I couldn’t do it, I was seriously considering calling it a career on YouTube. Instead, I decided to give it everything I had. And we fucking did it. 100,000. Seventeen years later, the kid who started with zero subscribers finally got there. Thank you for believing in me. Now… Here’s to the next 100K.
