Our Current Situation (Patreon)

What's good family! We hope all is well with y'all and that life has been going good for you.  We can't express how grateful we are for your support.  We wanted to touch base with you all and kind of let you know what's going on with us in our own lives, as well as our feelings on the current state of the channel.  As many of you know, we've been trying to build up the Youtube channel the best we can.  But since Hus and I are only able to record reactions Monday-Wednesday, It makes it difficult to record reactions and edit them in a timely manner to be able to benefit from Youtube Search results.  We wouldn't have to be so dependent on YT search results to grow if we were able to generate at least 3k views in the first hour of uploading.  But now a days, we're lucky to even get 300 views in the first hour.  So the growth on Youtube has been pretty nonexistent.  We've been patient and optimistic for a long time, because we believe in the content we've been putting out.  But our optimism has been steadily dwindling down into desperation over the last few years, and for so many reasons.  I can't speak on everything, but I'll be transparent about most of whats going on in my life.  Naturally, my mothers battle with breast cancer has been the most stressful situation to deal with.  She hasn't been able to work since she's been diagnosed, and the upfront medical cost have been ripping the finances apart. Of course I feel like trash that I'm not in a better financial situation to just pay for it all.  As soon as she was diagnosed a year and a half ago, I was going to stop doing reactions and start truck driving.  I didn't want to give up on what we had started with the channel, but the desperation was starting to mount.  The plan was to let Hus do the reactions and I'd edit for him in between driving shifts.  But he was concerned that viewership would drop (Even tho I think he'd do fine).  So I decided to keep grinding with the channel in hopes that it would continue to grow and since bruh wasn't comfortable reacting solo dolo.  And fortunately, we've had so many of you donate to my moms gofundme and help her in her most critical time. We wouldn't have even made it to this point if it wasn't for y'all, and that's no exaggeration.  After a year and a half of countless surgeries, grueling chemotherapy and radiation, the hope was that this last session of chemo would be the end of my mothers battle.  But unfortunately, a scan spotted a cancerous tumor that had developed on her lung.  So she has another tough battle ahead of her, and I'm stuck at another crossroad on what I need to do in order to help her.  I know a lot of you have been asking for shows like Mob and ReZero to come back, but when you edit a Youtube video for 3+hours and only generate $6 in revenue total from it like the last Mob edit (3400 views, our most viewed mob vid from S3), it's disheartening and definitely doesn't ease the sense of urgency.  Me and Hus have been contemplating ways to help the channel grow as of late.  We honestly think it's best to watch both Naruto and One Piece together to help us in the Youtube algorithm asap; which means we'd have to postpone Ippo and the other shows until we finish one piece. The sense of urgency has built for Hus as well as of late; and for reasons that he might talk about at a later date.  But this is where we currently are rn fam. I told my mother that I would post the gofundme here, and not to make anybody feel the need to donate, because you guys have blessed us throughout her battle enough, but in hopes that you might share the link with others.  We love and appreciate y'all, and after I finish my edits I'll pop in and respond to as many comments as possible.
