You won't be missed, sir. I lost a few subscribers today and frankly, I think the channel is all the stronger for it. And I don't feel 'guilty' for my race, as so many commenters put it. I just feel sad that this kind of backwards thinking still happens in a so-called society.

Christ, can I please just point out I don't ever get paid for reviews? I've been offered huge amounts of cash to review stuff and I've 100% turned that shit down. Because it's corrupt bullshit. And yet every time I favourably review something: "China Paid Review!"
