Good news and bad news. Good news? A 3 hour essay on Michael Myers in the '78 film. Bad news? I can't monetize it at all.

It was claiming minutes of my own footage because it saw two still images from the film bookending them. It's easily the most aggressive I've ever seen the claim feature. Even if I turned the whole essay into still images, Youtube would still try to claim it as not mine. Even after I gave up and uploaded this exact video but with a foreword asking for Patreon support, it demonetized it (like this one) and also blocked it in some countries. So I have to stick to the only version people can watch.

Things aren't going great for anyone, myself included. Stuff like this hurts a lot. I'm too voiceless to appeal to Youtube, either. Thank you for the support! It is very literally enabling me to be alive. I hope you guys enjoy this one, even if its existence has harmed me.
