Celebrating the channel’s 10th year!

It’s almost the end of the year where I am, so I figured I’d give you all an update as to what’s been going on.

2024 marked 10 years since I opened up this channel as well as 20 years since the beginning of this silly medium I've contributed to.

So you may be wondering… why haven’t I been uploading anything?

Throughout the past year, I’ve been shifting most of my focus to my now full-time job, dealing with various doctor visits regarding stomach issues, focusing on my mental health, and during the summer, I lost both my uncle and my great-grandmother. To put it simply, this year was not all that good and left me in no mental capacity to be making any videos.

I'll be real with you all: I don’t know when I’m gonna upload another video. I’ve made a lot of promises in the past that I haven’t kept, so going forward I’m not gonna make any more promises if I’m unsure if I’m gonna keep it. I did however get started on another standalone video, and as much as I want to work hard to make it as good as I can possibly make it, I worry life will get in the way and I’ll lose the motivation to finish it, so I’m not gonna say anything else for now. I’m very sorry for the lack of transparency and I hope to do better on that front in the coming year.

I’ve also abandoned my account on the platform formerly known as Twitter, so if you want to see what I’ve been doing, follow me on BlueSky at mestirryan.bsky.social. I may also post an occasional update on the community tab when I can.

TL;DR: I don’t know what 2025 or the years beyond will have in store content-wise, but if I do happen to put something out in the coming year, I hope to see y’all there.

Today marks 10 years since I opened up the RyanYTP channel.

Been doing this for a long time, but I think I still have a few things left in me.
Stay tuned!

Hey gang. As we head into the new year, I figured I’d update y’all on the state of things and what may happen going forward.

2023 had some bad, but plenty of good on my side. I lost a pet, whom I had spent a large chunk of my life with. But on the bright side, I got a full-time job, lost a ton of weight, and in the latter half of the year, I started to get my passion for editing back.

I guess this year did see more content output than 2022. A little less than I had hoped, but hey, it’s something!

And hey, 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of the RyanYTP channel, and I wanna do something for the occasion. I wanna try to set some goals for myself, aiming to put out even more videos as I slowly get my mojo back. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even finish some big projects I had previously announced…

In any case, Happy New Year. Here’s to 2024. 🎉

Hey y'all. I’m currently enjoying a nice Hawaiian vacation, but I still thought I'd post a quick update.

First, I’m sorry for more radio silence last year since uploading that preview for "YTPWare: Shit Together!". I've been focusing my attention towards film classes as well as getting involved in making a short film. But now, all that’s over with and I am finally going to graduate! So now, I’m probably going to have much more free time. I already have plenty of ideas for YTPWare and other videos, so hopefully 2023 will see a higher content output.

That being said, YTPWare will take a lot of time to complete as it is an animated YTP, so don’t be surprised if I end up releasing other, more standard content between now and whenever I finish YTPWare (yes I STILL INTEND to finish it!).

As for collab plans, I may or may not host one during the summer. It all depends on life.

I don’t have much else to say other than…

Hau’oli Makahiki Hou.

Here’s to 2023!

Thanks for being patient with me. Here's a preview for a video that, get this: I might actually finish.

Hope you folks like venting because that’s all this post is. Apologies in advance if my wording is bad. It’s late at night, and most of this is coming off the tail-end of a discussion with my parents.

Let’s get one thing out of the way:

The Hanna-Barbera Collab isn’t happening. It’s over. Go ahead and make your entries public. There’s no reason to keep them unlisted anymore.

It’s not anyone’s fault in particular, it’s mine. The entries that I received were great! It’s just that I shouldn’t have tried to organize such a large project in the state I was in.

Back in July, I said that I was happier and more energetic after going through a bit of trouble earlier this year. Well, as it turns out, I haven’t actually been doing better. I’ve been doing more or less the same.

Through the past four months I have not been taking the best care of myself. Ever since I started my digital film program in late August, my routine has just been:
-Wake up
-Go to class
-Get lunch somewhere
-Go home
-Play video games
-Have dinner
-Watch YouTube
-Sleep

Basically, when I come home, I just feel tired. I don’t want to do anything. I don’t even feel like making videos no matter how much I want to. I feel like my passion’s kinda vanished, and I feel bad because of it. A lot of this is also why I haven’t been actively searching for new jobs, aside from other concerns that I have about work.

Ultimately, throughout all of this, I kinda felt like a worthless slob.

After talking a bit with my parents, I’ve come to realize that my “brain chemistry” is kinda fucked at the moment, and that I need to take matters into my own hands to “un-fuck” it.

And that’s just what I’m gonna do.

So, what’s gonna happen?

Well, I’m gonna set some really dumb, small goals and work towards slowly changing my habits so that I can ultimately feel better about myself. In fact, one of the goals I’ve already set was “edit at least 3 seconds of YTP per day,” so that I can slowly but surely regain my passion. It’s like the old saying goes: slow and steady wins the race.

I’m sorry to those I disappointed with my decision to cancel the collab, and would like to make it up to you someday. But for now, I need to start making some changes to myself.

That is all for now. Stay classy, my friends.

Heyo! Last Sunday, Jimmy Davis got a bunch of YouTube Poopers together (myself included) to play a game of Gartic Phone, and it was a BLAST! Check it out!

~HB COLLAB UPDATE~

Since we are now in July and the deadline for new participants is nearing, I thought I'd update y'all on what's been going on.

I know I haven't been keeping up with the collab like I should be. Why is that?

Well, to put it simply, I was depressed.

My spring semester had gotten really difficult, which then sorta started a chain reaction of me not taking the best care of myself, and then me failing my classes. On top of that, I lost my uncle near the end of April which only made me feel worse.

When I moved back home for the summer, my house was still undergoing renovations, which of course meant things were difficult. Then near the end of May I got into a wreck, which led to me not being able to drive until the end of June. During that time though, I have been doing some freelance video work around my town, which gave me a chance to build up my portfolio.

Put all that together, and you got me not having the time nor the energy to keep up with a big project such as this, or any project for that matter.

However, things have gotten better the last couple of weeks. My house is back to normal, I've gotten a new car, and I started seeing a counselor in order to take better care of my mental health.

Now that I'm happier and more full of energy, here's the plan for the collab:

I'm going to spend the rest of the Fourth of July weekend offline and with my family. Once that's over, work on the collab will truly begin. I'll start collecting the entries I haven't seen yet and review them. I will also begin editing my entry as well as the collab itself. Release date is still unknown, so I'll let you know when I'm far enough along to announce a date.

That's all for now. See you when the time comes!
