Patreon Vlog | Teaching in Japan, Learning Japanese, Demonetisation Nightmares (Patreon)

Hey guys!

I hope you've all had a great week so far.

SO I'd literally just finished filming the new Patreon vlog (above) a couple of hours ago, and the new video about demonetisation was doing fine - AND THEN one hour it got demonetised AGAIN, making it the third video in a row to get demonetised.

I won't lie, I'm pretty pissed off about it this time, but I really don't want to dwell on this any more. We've got a channel to get on with and fun videos to make, and between North Korea's damn missiles and Youtube's idiotic demonetisation process, it feels like things have been ruined a bit this last month or so.

We've gone somewhat off track and I apologise for that. It's ironic, given that in the new vlog (above), I talk about how I'm relieved that the video is monetised and all is well. BUT IGNORE THAT BIT NOW!

On the upside we've seen a surge of new awesome people joining Abroad in Japan on Patreon the last few days, as a result of all this, and I feel extremely grateful to everyone for your support. It means that despite this continuing nightmare, we remain stronger than ever and we'll get through anything Youtube throws at us. There really will be more videos than ever before going forward, thanks to the Patreon budget.

Finally, if you are new to Patreon, be sure to scroll down the "posts" page, where you'll find a staggering amount of useful, original, behind the scenes bonus content! It's all their waiting for you to dive into and enjoy!

For now though guys, enjoy the vlog, and if you prefer to listen to it as an audio download / Podcast style format instead, you can find it attached to this post!

Thanks everyone - wishing you a pleasant end to the week.
