How R hapas affected me mentally - part 2 of the evolution of my YouTube channel

In January, r/Hapas linked his racism video, then mocked his family and appearance; repeated harassment became a channel-wide conflict. Provocative but truthful videos turned harassment into growth: 600–700 subscribers, 2,000- plus views each, and revenue rising from $15 to $100. After two years and 4,500 subscribers, George Trombly and GimmeABreakMan promoted him; an Elliot Rodger video exceeded 50,000 views, but metrics declined.

Harassment increased confidence and candour, while audience growth remained volatile.
