Creators note:
Hey everyone! I just wanted to make a quick video to explain what happened last week and hopefully clear a few things up. I released a video, noticed some things afterward, and wanted to share my thoughts with you.
I’m incredibly grateful for the recent support. Honestly, I’m still amazed that so many people watch my content, and it motivates me even more because I have some really exciting things planned for the future.
Thanks so much for watching,
Zackary Smigel
