He always gave a lot of excuses at the beginning, it was like I was very tired mentally, that I was already bored with what I was doing, I was no longer passionate about it, I no longer wanted to edit, many factors that were true, but the strongest is that I I got bored of getting into the routine of thinking about what video I am going to record, what gameplay, what minisketch, what questions and answers, how am I going to record, edit and publish, be aware of my social networks. When I fell asleep goat, another day began and the same thing, what am I going to record…. and so on for seven years.
