Now I am very new here but I just watched this guys video here.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEi-Ha-d380
and found it very compelling. He is a 55 year old man living in Peru with Parkinson's Disease. He used to make funny news episodes that I personally really enjoyed watching. BUT.... The power of TROLL BASTARDS have got the best of him. One of his videos was recently taken down because of how many trolls flagged it. Now, he can no longer become a youtube partner and make enough money to travel back to the U.S. to get treated for his Parkinson's Disease. He has no other means of making money and is in a rather terrible situation.
I am making this thread to get his message out there because I feel that by spreading this video by word of mouth (or rather sound of keyboard) we can make his situation known by more people and maybe someone we know
may have some influence on youtube and his community. maybe...
I know that this pogotribe thing gets a lot of traffic and Dan speaks of it very highly. I hope to somehow help this man but I have no idea how other than to spread the word about his situation.
On a side note: I just found out that I have been blocked by this guy probably in his attempt to weed out all of the many many trolls that plague his channel. Although I have never ever once left a negative comment on this guy and I have ALWAYS been a fan of what he does, it was probably a mistake or a misunderstanding, perhaps, of what I might have said to him. He even left me a channel comment saying that I'm an idiot. I'm not going to flame back because I feel there was a misunderstanding. But now I cant subscribe or even comment back. Not that there is any point in subbing him now. He explains that he is done making videos.
Thanks for reading. sorry for the lengthy message.
