"Uhm. Another thing that makes me INCREDIBLY NERVOUS, guys, is Article 13 in European Union! Because, I am well aware, that a LARGE CHUNK of viewers of mine, live in the European Union! And, if Article 13 passes, the way that- the way that it is currently in place, and apparently it- APPARENTLY already, initially passed a first wave of voting! With no issues. And is going to another wave of voting now. Uhm. Err. A lot of you guys in the European Union, aren't going to be able to watch my stuff anymore! I hope you guys understand that! Like, this is a HORRENDOUS LAW! That is incredibly, just poorly thought out! EVERY SINGLE TECH COMPANY is opposing it! YET, it doesn't seem like they're having any sway! Apparently, these lawmakers in the European Union, who are doing this, just don't give a shit! They're doing this for their own personal reasons! Uhm. *LIP SMACK!* And, you know, it makes me VERY NERVOUS that many of you- you know, I get HUNDREDS of viewers a day! THOUSANDS of viewers across the globe everyday on YouTube! How many of you are not going to able to watch my stuff anymore? And, of course, if you can't watch my stuff, that means, you know, uhh, that's a HUGE CHUNK of what *CONDESCENDING CHUCKLE* I need to make, to make ends meet! That's gone! A HUGE CHUNK of my viewerbase, JUST GONE! And, you know, that makes me INCREDIBLY NERVOUS, TOO! You know? What I'm hoping is, that, this really is going to be the opposite. Like, it's one of these things, that, uhm, IS OVERBLOWN and won't turn out as bad is it sounds. Like, we all remember, 'OH NO! Net Neutrality is going away!' And then it did, and then nothing really happened! Right? Uhm. But the bottom line is here, when companies like Google and Twitch, and everyone who I WORK FOR, or- I say 'Work for,' I don't work for them. EVERYWHERE, where I work, *THROAT CLEAR* all right, are coming out publicly and saying, 'If this passes, we're going to have to BLOCK any traffic from the European Union!' Because, if you can't prove that you own the copyright rights, to whatever you're streaming, THAT'S IT! I mean, you're talking about, A HUMONGOUS CHUNK OF STREAMERS will not be able to stream! A GINORMOUS amount of viewers won't be able to VIEW! This will be like, an Internet Censorship, on a MASSIVE SCALE! ANNND. You know what I mean? Like, I think people are not taking this SERIOUSLY, at this point. Because, I barely hear anyone talking about it! I'm like, 'How is this not the BIG THING?!' This should be what everyone is talking about! It's going to DESTROY THE INTERNET! It's going to DESTROY websites like YouTube and Twitch! If this passes and it goes through, the way it is. I don't want to see, you know, A QUARTER OF MY VIEWERBASE go away OVERNIGHT! I know that, a lot of my MODERATING STAFF live in the European Union! All right? I know that, a lot of my BIGGEST VIEWERS AND FANS are from the European Union! You know? *THROAT CLEAR* So.

I just don't know, man! It makes me INCREDIBLY NERVOUS! It's just, what I mean, like, I get GENEROSITY and it's still- because of the things that have happened to me in the past, I still end up feeling, kind of, nervous and skeptical. And I know that sucks! To always have to feel like that! But, just because of the stuff that's happened to me, you know, over the years. It does, you know, the GENEROSITY! Even though, I know, 'WOW! I want to feel POSITIVE and great about the future!' I'm just nervous, that any moment, it can be taken away! Or, you know, uhm. I just would like- you know. ALL RIGHT! Here's the TRUTH OF THE MATTER! Okay? Here's the truth of the matter! If I could just have a NICE DAY. RELAXING. ON CHRISTMAS DAY. And NOT WORRY ABOUT ALL KINDS OF CRAZY SHIT. You know what I mean?! Christmas Day, I have off from streaming! It would be nice, if I could just sit here and not have to worry about this! BUT, I think Article 13 is something that's scaring EVERYBODY! RIGHT? IT IS! Article 13 is something that's TERRIFYING everyone! Across the internet! Uh, how it's going to affect things and change things. All right? Uhm, so HOPEFULLY, those of you who live in the European Union are EDUCATING YOURSELVES, and/or anything that you can do! I don't know what you can do! Like I said, like I told you guys a MILLION TIMES, uhm, I don't live in the European Union! I don't even know what actions you guys can take! I don't know what your lawmaking system is like! Uhm, I can tell you this, you know. Years ago, when I was in, kind of the same situation here in the United States! We had- what was it? Uhm. *LIP SMACK!* It was like, like, ART- not arti-, it wasn't an Article, but it was like some law. S-point-nine-seven-eight or something crazy like that. Some weird name. Right? And it looked like, it was kind of do the same thing. It was going to change the Internet, it was going to censor the internet. And it looked like YouTube was going to be very negatively affected. And I spoke out against it, I made a video that ended up getting, OVER SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND VIEWS on YouTube! Which is crazy! Uhm, *LIP SMACK!* and basically spread the word about it! And I was even- my video really reached out there! And, I was contacted by, uh, by nonprofit organizations saying, 'Dude, your video actually helped out a lot! We would like to INCLUDE YOU in a book about the whole situation!' And I was like, 'NAAH! I don't want to be a part of that!' Uhm, you know, but, that's what I mean! I think I did as much as I could years ago, with stuff like that. SOPA and PIPA *THROAT CLEAR* and all that garbage that happened. Uhm, I don't really think I have much power, besides just talking about Article 13 every once in a while, guys. And letting you know that it exists and what's going on. Uhm, *LIP SMACK!* you know, I don't know what else to, uh, TO DO.

"REALLY?! That's bad! They should be! You know? SO, I certainly hope that everything works out well for them- for the best for everyone! All right. I just don't know! But, uh, it makes me nervous! I would like to just, on Christmas Day, for the nice day with Kat! Unplugged from the Internet. Enjoying a NICE DAY with her and relaxing! And I hope that I can get there! You know what I mean? Uhm, *FAKE LAUGH* I hope that we can have just a RELAXING DAY, and not have this LOOMING stuff over OUR heads, and crap! All right? GOOD LORD."
