Update— We terminated the brand partnership.
We have received no money from it, and we will receive no money from it in the future.
Today’s video has been pulled down so we can edit out the sponsored segment. We will re-upload the video tomorrow morning without a sponsor.

Huge bummer… working on a video right now, but unless I win an appeal, I cant post it for 7 days (see image).
I am speaking to a rep at YouTube to try to get 1 or both removed (since both make no sense) which would allow me to upload this week.
Check this thread for updates 😔

Hey everyone, I’ve decided to take this week off to go on vacation with my family.
It’s been over a year since I’ve taken any REAL time off (even on the days we don’t post, we are working pretty much constantly).
We’ll be back to posting regularly next week, see you then!

There's a YouTuber named Kraken the Box. He's had two heart transplants and is in palliative care.
His time on this earth is running out, and he has one wish: get 100k subs and a silver play button.
I want to see him reach a million.
