In this video I’d like to thank you for helping me reach 25,000 subscribers, and I’ll answer various questions you’ve asked me. Among other subjects, I’ll be explaining why I don’t monetize my videos or accept sponsorships. It seems that 25,000 subscribers is a milestone on YouTube, and I’ve received my first serious offer of a sponsorship deal, but I’ve chosen not to accept it.
