About

I started YouTubing back in 2011 as an outlet to express my love and interest in video games, but little did I expect that what began as a fun experiment would flourish into a vibrant community of passionate and caring gamers. So taken aback have I been by your support that I've refused to ask for any additional support. The simple act of someone watching, liking, and sharing my videos was all I could ask for.

However, life circumstances change. As of May 24, 2019, I will have moved into Los Angeles, California. While I love my current peaceful residence, I also can't deny that I feel stuck. I've come to realize that I won't be able to find true happiness and fulfillment unless I leave the nest and see what the rest of the world has to offer, and I believe LA is where I'll be able to expand my horizons in video game journalism and, eventually, voice acting.

The prospect of this new venture is both exhilarating and terrifying. For the first time in my life, I will truly be on my own. Well, not entirely. I've got you beautiful people constantly inspiring and motivating me to keep pushing forward. But the transition from a suburban lifestyle into an urban one is, well, an expensive one.

I've considered avenues such as sponsorship, but I detest the idea of a third party entity or corporation having any semblance of control over my content and opinions. Instead, I want this to be a community run by the people for the people. It's only fair that I place my fate and the fate of our community in your hands.

Fortunately, the channel has grown drastically over the last few years, and I'm now in a position where I'm financially stable. Please don't feel pressured into contributing, please don't feel as though your patronage is a necessity. However, YouTube ad revenue and monetization guidelines can be wildly inconsistent, and what Patreon allows is for a stable floor of revenue.

As for what your contributions would be used for, additional funding means I will be able to dedicate my time solely to creating content on my channel. It means better equipment to improve quality of content. It means being able to attend more gaming events around the country to do more coverage. It means being able to sustain YongYea as a viable career while remaining independent of third party sponsorship and corporate influence.

If this is an idea you are behind, I welcome any support you can provide. The means to shape my channel, my content, and our community is in your hands. No one is more deserving of that power than you, the loyal viewers and fans.

But hey, even if you can't or won't support this campaign, I will be just as grateful to see you watch, like, and share my videos. In return, I'll continue to provide the highest quality, most informative, and most entertaining gaming videos possible.

Thanks for everything, and I'm excited to see what the future has in store for us.

Much love,
-Yong
