When I closed my Patreon that night, the way I did it was I was on a live stream and I said for I can't remember the exact numbers, but I was like, for every thousand subscribers we get, something like that, live while I'm on air, I'll do a shot of Patron because I'm leaving Patreon. Anyway, about 12 shots later. 12,000 subscribers. Oh, you must have been so I was And I was really doing it.

So not only was I wasted, but I doxed myself live on air because when I went finally at the end of the night, when I went to delete the account, which we were showing. That was your address. Oh no. You press delete and then it po your email pops up. Oh no.
