I am a moron

I just broke the HDMI to DP port adapter.... this means I can not draw anything until a new one that I just ordered as a replacement arrived. This means I am handicapped for possibly an entire week and can not draw artwork for the Denmark video. I am therefore going to instead hold the vote for the high tier patreons on what the next video will be and write that while I wait.

Teabag will leave us soon

The Korean artist Teabag, who is probably the single best artist on our team, will soon be drafted to do his mandetory military service in the South Korean army. He asked me if he could pick a video topic of an upcoming video before he is drafted early next year. Because he wants to make an entire video himself as a good bye. I would say yes. But would like to also run it by you to get your app...

How Denmark invented Social Democracy and Future rewards.

Alright, so here is what I am going to do. I will invited you into a discord server in which I and two artists are working on the video. You will through it get access to the script. Usually only high tier Patreons get access to the work servers, but we will make an exsception this time around. You will be able to observe work on the video as it progresses, read the script before the video is o...

Expanding on Denmark

I just reread my Denmark script, and I am incredibly unsatisfied with it. It lacks what I consider to be important information. So.... I am going to give you the original audio with the paid post. But I want to rewrite a substancial part of the second half of the video. In particular I want to give more attention to the formation of the legal welfare state. And I would like to add a segment div...

May I charge you for the Denmark video in advance?

I know I asked this before for the China video, and then I managed to finish the video on time. But this time I am pretty sure I wont finish the Denmark video on time. I tried to make it and the Chomsky video at the same time and failed at that. So I am asking you permission to charge you for the Denmark video in advance. I would post the audio of the video in a paid post, then publish the vide...

Unmonetized Opinion: Why Noam Chomsky is garbage

As said before, this video will be completely unmonetized, since it is a more political opinion piece. It will have no sponsors, no adds, and you as patreons will not be asked to pay for it.

Feel free to disagree with the contents of the video.

Sorry for not finishing a video yet

I tried to make two videos at once. Failed. And the result is that there will probably be no video this month. My appologies.

Setting up new streaming software

I bought new streaming software, and am getting better internet by next week. We will then finally be able to do the Patreon live streams :)

Videos in 8K

Soooo... every year I create a money pot. Meaning, I set myself a goal to buy something nice, calculate how much money I would have to put aside every month, and then I put the money to the side every month until I can afford it. Last year I put 50 euros aside every month until I had enough to buy a professional drawing pad. And over the last 12 months, I have put aside 100 Euros from your patr...

Should I confront Hindu nationalism?

As some of you probably already noticed, I do not take most of the criticisms left by commenters from India seriously. There is a good reason for this. They are insincere. I know for a fact that a lot of them are Hindu nationalists raiding my comment section because I dared to criticise the Indian caste system. One thing that confirmed this to me is that there are also a lot of comments by Indi...

Pledges and Benefits

I am coming closer and closer to moving into a new apartment and probably quitting my day job. Probably by Jannuary. Once that finally comes around, I will be able to completely focus my resources on video creation and work around the youtube channel. 

I believe a main aspect of this reorientation should focus around you. Namely around the pledges. Because of this, I wanted to ask yo...

Different Type of Sponsors

You may have noticed that the sponsor of the last video was a little different. That's because the Sponsor was a small business owner who reached out to me to sponsor my channel. There is a very limited amount of companies that go and sponsor youtubers, and this recent sponsorship gave me some ideas.

I will probably in the future continue to take sponsorships from companies that usually s...

No Monetization of my Opinion pieces

I have now started work on an opinion video critiquing Noam Chomsky. It is important therefore that I inform you of something important regarding this. This video will be an opinion piece in it's entirety, it will be by en-large built upon my opinion, and therefor it will not be monetized. Neither on Youtube, or here on Patreon. You will not be billed for the creation of this video.

I sho...

Posting this with every video is almost a tradition now

Every time I post a video here, people message me on discord to appologize and tell me that they cant pay me for this month. And I am here to tell you, please do NOT appologize. Think of it, I am the one who owes you a thank you. A thank you for your contribution. We all go through rough times in life. We all expirienced months in which we barely met the end meet. We all had to tighten our belt...

IMPORTANT NOTE ON PREVIOUS POST

Youtube is still formating the HD version of the video. I am sorry for this. Youtube sometimes can be a bit of an ass to creators. I expect the full HD version to be processesed within the next 30 minutes, then you can just use the link I posted to watch the video.

China vs India | The State and the Society

I MADE IT!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Pushed through the last few days and finished the video on time!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No need for advanced payment as I asked last week! I hope you enjoy the video! :)

A Problem with the Video, and Question for you.

I have a little problem, I may not finish this video before the end of September. Things got a little out of hand in research and work, and the result is that the video is now 45 minutes long, rather than the 20 minutes I had promised. This means I and the team had to work more to finish it. And because of that, it is not likely that it will finish this month, but will probably finish in the fi...

The next video

The next video isn't completely finished yet. It is about 85% to 90% done. I hope to finish it next week. But as always when a video nears completion, the higher tier Patreons get to pick from a list of topics what the video after that will be. Not sure what the title will be, but it will be either "The Origins of Scandinavian Democracy" or "How Denmark invented Social Democracy". In that video...

A reminder for bigger Patreons

Hey I am posting this as a reminder to the big Patreons who contribute 20$ or more, that you are able to join my private work discord in which I work on the videos. And that you are supposed to be able to discuss with us all what videos I make next, and even vote on the matter. I made a few exclusive posts for you already with invites, but it seems that a lot of you seem to overlook them. Maybe...

I think I'm burnt out.

I feel awful and stressed out almost constantly. My dayjob will soon knock me out with 12 hour shifts for a few weeks. Then I will have to renovate a kitchen. I don't know if I am actually burnt out, or just dreading the enormous mountain fo work that is ahead of me. But chances are, that I may be completely exhausted after November. We will see how things go. But I may be taking December and J...

A little Break

I am taking a little time off until the weekend or end of the weekend to relax, read books, and play a  little videogames. I will be returning to full on drawing once those days have past.

The Origins of Russian Authoritarianism

As promised, here is the patreon exclusive ad free version :)

I will probably publish it on friday

Video Tomorrow!

Sorry for taking a week off, after I recovered from a little illness I spent a few days playing videogames. The good news is that the video will be done tomorrow, only 20 seconds remain to be drawn :)

Your opinion and vote on a Sponsorship offer

Hey there my dear guys and girls. I would like to ask your opinion on a sponsorship offer that I received and for you to vote on it. 

I received a Sponsorship offer from odysee.com

Odysee is a video hosting site, trying to be a competitor with sites like youtube, and the deal they made me was the following. They asked me how much I make on youtube, I told them it was 500 euros,...

You do not need to apologize

This has become almost a tradition at this point, since I post it after every video. lol

Anyway, if you are having a rough month or two or more, and you can not pay your contribution for a video I made as a patreon. You do not need to apologize. I will not kick you, block you, or any such thing. I am grateful for your contributions and understand if you are having a rough time. Please don...

How The Greeks built the first European State

I am so sorry for the two-day delay. But here it is, a video documenting the process of how ancient Greek tribes formed the first state structures of Europe. 

Also, an important note! I will from now on upload the videos that are meant for Patreons separately onto my second channel without the Sponsorship, so you get to watch it without the adverts.

The video will be...

Thinking of a Sponsorship Experiment

Hey, so I had a little idea. I was approached by a friend of mine with a sponsorship offer for 2000$. I usually get offered 3000$ for a sponsorship, but I think I will accept the offer to try something. I usually use Sponsorship money exclusively to compliment the pay for artists, thanks to the Surfshark Sponsorships I was able to finish the Mexico series in record time because I was able to us...

Video on Friday

Ok! I think, by friday I will be abel to give you the patreon exclusive early access to the next video! :)

I'd like your input on video plans

I am right now working on two projects, they are both short videos. One is 17 minutes, the other is 20 minutes. One is intended for July, the other for August. I might then work on another 15-20 minute video for August. but by December I would like to do something else. I want to make 11 videos that are 10-5 minutes long and of which one is uploaded every single week. My question to you is how ...

I'd like to make an Opinion piece.

I would like to make a video that is more political, for either August or September. The video would not be monetized, will not have a sponsor, and I will not make a paid post for it on Patreon. That is going to be a standard for all opinion pieces on this channel. My opinions will not be monetized. 

I still however feel obliged to ask your permission for doing this. Since you are th...
