When we committed to doing three videos a week, the algorithm was like, okay, these guys are reliable and started to present us.
It's just genuinely, and they give us ideas, but it's just a try this, try that, rather than this is what we're after now.
Living here and nobody really knowing who we are.
And then go overseas briefly and be like, especially if we go to a convention or something like that and feel super famous for a few days and then come back to New Zealand and be like, oh, thank God.
You've got, like, at certain conventions, just people queuing for hours to meet you.
Yeah, very much so.
And we wouldn't even know who necessarily to talk to.
Wade, what's happening right now?
There was a moment years ago now that Facebook just decided to stop giving us money for a period of time.
We were just like, what happened?
And it turned out it was this bizarre...
The Facebook thought that we were trying to sell firearms on Facebook because one of our videos, which is PUBG Logic, which is a video game that involves firearms, but they somehow connected the dots that this company is trying to sell firearms.
And we just, 80% of our revenue just stopped.
And we, this was a long time ago when we were much more dependent on Facebook, but it was like this very scary wake up call of like, okay, we cannot be entirely dependent on YouTube and Facebook anymore.
I guess we also...
Fantastic.
And I think the people that want to see us continue to grow and expand and also get more out of the different worlds that we've kind of created.
