    There are still a lot of things that went on behind the scenes I didn't include in this video, but I may return to this further into the future and give the entire story of the early days of my channel, or at least what I can remember. For today though I mainly just wanted to look back at my earlier content and show you how it has changed over the years. Don't forget to check out my merch and use code 10YEAR if you like any of the designs: coneofarcs-merch.creator-spring.com/

    Man it is absolutely insane to think that back when Cone and I were in high-school together, using his channel mainly as an outlet for meme videos of us fucking around in school would lead to this. Like he said, you won't see those, but it was the birth of something, we just weren't sure. But here we are. All this time later and Cone is somewhere most of us had the dream of being at during that time. Super proud to see how far you've come (as I say all the time) and super excited to see where you go. Never stopped supporting you, and never will 🤘

    Making KZread videos is a lot harder than people realize. Even making really, really garbage quality, unscripted, basically not editted game content was so much work. A 20 minute video would take like 3 or 4 hours even with the terrible quality that I used to make. Having said that, even with my old crap stuff from all like 8 years ago, there is still 1 video I made that I genuinely really still enjoy and I go back and watch a few times a year because I had so much fun making it. I made it long enough ago that the term "seal clubber" hadn't reached my World of Tanks vernacular. That was a long time ago.
