Some combination of being too lazy and not having the balls. And maybe writing articles instead of scripts for YouTube videos just isn't in his skillset. He did definitely get something published in the recent-ish past though.It makes you wonder why those chances have been relatively few and far between.
It's now private, as @Ninon42 points out. The link is here:Shall we place a bounty on this footage in hope that somebody finds it?
I managed to track it down though:
So to provide more detailed context, I believe this was uploaded around the time Lindsay Ellis left New York to move to LA. This would have been after they broke up, but I'm not sure of the exact dates. I believe she was still single then, and she hadn't met her current husband yet.
I think it's almost certain that this is for her and it was his way of saying that he'll always "be there" and that he's still holding the flame just in case she ever changes her mind and wants to get back together. I think he uploaded it to YouTube as a more subtle way of reaching out than sending it to her directly, which would have seemed a bit needier and more desperate. Not too long afterwards of course he moved to LA himself. Lots of YouTubers do that of course, so it's no big surprise, but possibly he also wanted to be closer to Lindsay - who knows?
Holy shit, he's 41 this year? Yeesh, no wonder he's thinking about quitting. He's been doing this since he was in his mid-20s. You're too fucking old to be gushing over Chapell Roan, Todd. Go get a real job, leave LA and settle down.In his 40s now (born 3 June 1984), making it twice as cringe and mid-life crisis-y.
ETA: The original is here:
if anyone wants to compare. Pretty great song actually, but Todd doesn't have the chops to pull it off and it's pretty thin with just the keyboard for accompaniment.
