A New Year awaits us all - A message from SerpentZA
What is a new year? In reality nothing changes other than the date we write on official documents and the need to get a new calendar to hang up on the wall (if that's what you're into). However a new year really does offer us an opportunity to change, a benchmark of sorts, we can look back at our achievements or lack thereof over the past year and make plans to improve over the next 365 days.
I know from personal experience just how unpredictable life can be, one minute...

It's time to get back into the swing of things, perhaps you may have noticed that for the past month or so I've been a bit off my game so to speak. I'd like to explain why.
I'm not here to make excuses about "life getting in the way" or anything like that, I have an obligation to all of you, this is an obligation that I choose and hold myself to, I want to not only be here to answer any messages and questions but to provide you with useful, insightful and hopefu...

Hi there, a long time subscriber of mine Tom Nash who is a Maverick financial advisor and grew up under communism (which makes his take rather unique and aligned) recently had me on his channel for a chat, after the video he made a short video for me answering some questions about how to make sure you're not unknowingly investing in the CCP through your retirement fund etc.

Hey there, so I'm still trying to absorb the fact that I've hit a million subscribers.... In all honesty to me it seemed like an unattainable goal and it's still crazy for me to think that what started out as a pokey little channel trying to share what it was like to be living in China would turn out the way it has with so many adventures, ups, downs and everything in-between...
So let me cut to the chase, I'm planning to have a livestream tomorrow to c...

I really can't tell you how much I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions I got on my last post, it's incredibly difficult to continuously come up with compelling titles and thumbnails and although I manage to do a reasonable job most of the time remember it's always up to me to try and make a video that people will want to watch and although C-milk and myself bounce our ideas off each other at the end of the day it's only us, no team, no creative department, just a couple of blo...

Patreon early release and a question for you...
Hey there, here's an early release for tomorrow's video.
However I had two questions for you, do you think the title accurately captures the video? And also which of these three colours do you prefer for the thumbnail, let me know what you think

Hey there guys, Patreon only early release! Apologies as I wanted to release it this morning for you but I've been battling with the YouTube demonetization gang and after 3 different edits and uploads I've finally just accepted that there's no way this video can be monetized.

Hey there, an honest question for you. Since it is you who support what I do and enable me to continue to speak freely, I wanted your honest opinion on what video I should focus on this week, please choose from the list below. A quick note about my friends and family in South Africa, most of them are not in the affected areas, but all of them are affected as there is now a gasoline shortage and a food shortage since the supply chains have been disrupted (truc...

I'm really at the end of my tether here, YouTube keeps letting me down! After an intense 3 days of editing my video about the Taishan nuclear plant, YouTube greenlit the video after checks and I published it, about 30mins after it had gone public I received a copyright claim for music that I had used in the edit, this was music that I had downloaded specifically because it was supposed to be copyright free, I used the YouTube tool to mute that section of musi...
2021-06-17 23:15:56 +0000 UTC View PostVideo about Societal Revenge attacks demonetized but you made it possible!
So I've been frantically working on getting my next video done, there have been a massive amount of revenge attacks against society in China over the past 3 weeks and it's something I really needed to get out there, however of course because it's a sensitive and uncomfortable topic, YouTube has demonetized it. I was expecting this however and rather than self censor and remain silent, your support has given me the confidence to take the hit and release it

Just finished this week's edit and I'm happy to be able to share with you an early release, this video will go live on Friday Morning, I hope you enjoy it!

This has been a hard one to tell and it has taken what? 13 years for me to finally be able to tell it?
I would not have told this story if it was not for you supporting me here on Patreon, not only is the subject matter guaranteed to get me demonetized (which it did) but it’s also is a tough one to tell, having your support allows me to take not only the financial knock but also the...
