Channel Rethink

For history's sake, this event is important to document as it marks a turning-point in the development of the channel. The events that took place are mentioned here as a reminder that second chances are almost always worth it, and it means that Matt doesn't have to explain this one more time.

Background to the situation
It is June of 2018. At this time, the channel was based on what Matt's peers wanted him to talk about. However; Matt wanted to take the channel in an alternate direction and in the way he wanted, but by this stage things were getting out of hand. Matt wouldn't back down though, and something had to give ("It was either my way or theirs, and at the end of the day, it's my channel.") This meant a plan had to be put forward to the future of the channel, with all hints and clues as to what was going on hidden from the peers so as to stop any peer pressure before it even began.

Proposal of "Plan B"
Plan B was only known about by Matt himself and worked as follows: Matt also only enlightened certain people of the change in direction, a decision he also did not regret.
 * Stop video production - wait and see if anyone notices. No-one did.
 * Ensure that no-one asks any questions - If anyone brings it up, give them an excuse and change the subject.
 * Think of potential content - in this case, Sonic The Hedgehog.
 * Put something up in the meantime - namely, the channel trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AocjhSSSnYk)
 * Phaze into Sonic content gradually and never turn back - a decision that Matt does not regret.
 * If anyone asks what happened, never answer directly.

Plan B's success
Plan B worked a charm; none of his peers asked until more than five months later, at which point, it did not matter so much anymore. None of Matt's fans from his previous excursion on Discord asked any questions either, just assuming that he changed his mind with time.

Needless to say, there's no going back now - to find out what happened next, click here.
