A video that I made 10 months ago about Windows 11 and the slippery slope of anti-ownership we're on somehow managed to blow up over the past few weeks. I found myself skyrocketing from around 1,400 subscribers on YouTube less than one month ago to over 8,000 subscribers today. I've also had a lot of great discussions with people in the comment sections of both that video and several others in my back catalog that have gained new attention, and I'm starting to see some real support (of both the moral and financial types) for what I've been screaming from my tiny soapbox.

Because of this influx of support, I can now focus on producing actual content and keeping this SubscribeStar page up-to-date. I'm still working on the promised documentary about the rise and rot of user interfaces, plus I have a follow-up to the Windows 11 Must Be Stopped video that got me so much attention coming out in the next day or two--there are quite a few details that changed in the 10 months prior to all this attention and there are several responses I want to address.

I highly recommend that you also follow my video work on non-YouTube services. I have video presence on BitChute, Odysee, Rumble, Brighteon, DailyMotion, and Minds. I will have my entire back catalog up-to-date on these services within the next day or two.

Thanks to everyone for all your support. I really appreciate it, and I hope that my future endeavors are worth your time and money.

For all the details as well as a video showing off the difference in performance, read my article on jodybruchon.com! The short version is that I made the archive file feature of youtube-dlc (a fork of youtube-dl) massively quicker. The article explains the programming process and shows the steps I took along the way.
