I had the same experience growing up; never had to pay attention in class but always got good grades. I took meds (Ritalin) when I was 7 but stopped because it made me feel like I was trapped in a cage.

Now I use caffeine to control my symptoms, which only works because I'm extremely sensitive to stimulants.


I breezed through until 6th grade or junior high, then my grades began a slow decline. I was diagnosed half way through college. I've been on stimulants since.


Do you mind going into more detail about how Markipler marketed his youtube channel, besides publicity stunts, bots and click bait titles?


I don't know his marketing plan by any means, and I certainly can not claim he botted views, am I actually fairly certain his views are mostly authentic but that is just me going off of what I know of his moral judgement.

I do know he was extremely outgoing, almost weirdly so. I don't know the full extent of his 'hustle' but it wasn't just booting up amnesia every week.


that's unfortunate, it would have been extremely interesting to understand the timeline of actions/events that led to his success! O well


Thanks anyways.


Click to unmute doesnt do anything on the ipad right now. Awesome work tho!


This is great. Don't have kids, so I'm going to use it on myself.


I drink wine and cry.


I have been hoping for an snes edition, but since the switch is doing so well, I highly doubt we will see it in the near future.
