First of all, mucho gratz! It looked close there for a minute and that's where my question comes in. I'm a Tuber too, but basically just because I enjoy it. Sometimes I get a 1000 views, sometimes 3. Either way I'm cool. Obviously it would be awful nice if My Gimpy Life got enough views for some sustaining income, and in your drunken video (which is not a criticism, AT ALL), you talked about your moderate view count. Now, you got the funds to keep going at this (yay!) but I'm wondering about your attitude regarding the popularity of the show. Personally I find it shocking that such high caliber comedy isn't getting more while every video of a kitten sniffing it's own butt gets a million views a week. Were you hoping for more, has it gotten you down, or are you pretty much doing this because you can and FTW? I know your well deserved kudos have been major. Is that enough for you? Thank you, best regards.

Comedy can be dangerous territory as it so often deals with exactly the things people would not otherwise say outside the context of trying to make it funny. Seems to me issues in society are big enough, the issues complicated enough, that we should be more prepared to deal with offensive things. Excessive courtesy can be stultifying, especially to creativity. So screw that guy.

Well, now you've got a whole new season! And we'll just go through all this over again for season 3! er, wait...maybe that's not the right approach. Sometimes things, really really good things, take awhile to get off the ground. Hate to hear that it's been a bit of a bummer here and there, and not sure what to say in response that you're just motivated to work harder since I'm pretty sure the word "inspirational" doesn't fly with you. It is a damn fine show, and I hope the ups are worth the downs. Maybe if you could pull out more than 5 episodes it could get a bit more momentum. Any plans on the number of episodes for season 2?

Well, next time you have my personal promise to do more to promote it across my own media. I didn't like how close this came to not happening (i bet you didn't either) and I don't like how I let a good project like this drop off my radar for so long (though I have been distracted lately). We as your audience have a responsibility to producers like you and we should take it more seriously. Best wishes.
