Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: youtube.com/@TTRacingYT

This video marks 7 years of the Teaching Tech YouTube channel. I’m proud of my achievements and contributions to the community, but I’m also very tired. In this video I talk about the reality of being a full time content creator, and discuss my frustrations about misconceptions, toxic comments and the tendency for some people to throw around accusations without any evidence.

Thanks again to my viewers and patrons for all of their support. I wish you a happy holidays and can’t wait to serve the community in 2025. See you all in February!
