Basic quantifiers

Hello everyone; you wonderful nasty people,you! Some of you have been with us for many years, and some of you are new to our Channel

Gerund

not many of you know how long we've been doing YouTube for, which is now creeping on 10 years!

Past simple

We're here in Korea, and we're enjoying our first meal -- for the first few years that we did YouTube

We didn't make any ad revenue at all because it actually wasn't even

possible to make ad revenue in Asia at the time (S-Not at all!)

We joined YouTube, and we made videos because it's fun to make videos, and we enjoy doing it. After a couple of years

YouTube introduced ad revenue in Asia and somehow we were able to become full time YouTubers! (S- I don't know how!)

It's been a very confusing and wild ride. And over the years

We've seen YouTube go through many changes

not so great. In the past year, this wild ride that we've been on has taken a bizarre

turn with what some of you might know as the

"Adpocalypse" For those of you that don't know what we're talking about, in a very short summary,

It's resulting in a big loss of revenue for a lot of creators because many videos are getting

demonetized and not making any ad revenue. This is causing creators to look to other places to keep their channel alive

I'm sure you know creators that have opened up patreon accounts and a lot of people are also moving over to twitch altogether

We haven't done either. And so in the midst of all the things that are happening with YouTube with

Demonetization and people's futures being uncertain, we are thrilled that YouTube has

listened to a lot of people's concerns and is trying something new to fix this. So, YouTube is unrolling a new feature that we agreed

To beta-test because we think it's going to help a lot of creators. (S-Yep)

It's called sponsorships, and here's what it's all about: if our videos have helped you plan your trip to Japan,

Or if they helped you in your move to Korea,

Or if they help cheer you up on a dark day, if you want to show your support

Or if you want to buy us a coffee as a thank you, here's a way for you to do so. Basically

It's all up to you! If you want to, and you *do not* have to, (S-Nope!) but if you want to, you can directly support

Us for roughly $5 a month. For those of you who have said to us:

(Old-school viewers know what I'm talking about)(M-Yeah) Now you can buy us a drink!

It's not mandatory, not at all, but it is appreciated. Unless it explicitly says so in our videos,

we personally pay for all the food, all the restaurants, all the trains, planes, and automobiles- and

all of those SUPER EXPENSIVE fruits that Martina loves so much!! *Martina trying to laugh it off* We pay for that on our own.

150 bucks?- Less! 140 bucks? It's 140 bucks.

--Sure do ...  Sure do! M- I can not believe you bought those grapes

We're not a big multimedia company it's just- we're just ...we're doing this on our own-Spudgy, learn how to edit, buddy!

You're not, buddy. Okay! So what does being a sponsor mean? Being a sponsor will unlock some pretty cool features for you

Oh for starters, you know your user name when you leave comments? Well,

We are going to spice it up with the custom badge these custom badges help make it easier for us to see your comments

Which as many of you might know we do our best to answer as many comments as possible you can see them throughout all of

Our videos we love speaking with you all next up

Do you like emojis of course you do listen we're gonna spike that up with some custom

Simon and martina emojis you want to have a Spudgy and Meemer emoji? We got you covered! Build A Ladder emojis? Aww Yeah! Notification Squaaaad!

Special edition emojis we're gonna have food emojis Foomojis??Aww! that was my joke and you took it from me!

S- You can't go wrong with that. M-No, you can't

Also on that new community tab on our page

Updates that are just for our sponsors. For example: for those of you that listen to our podcast you know that we adventure out

But it's kind of impossible for us to do videos about all of them because there's so many

But we want to be able to share these with you

so we're gonna be posting up maps and info on the places that we visit that don't actually make it into the videos and I

Think that this is actually gonna be a great place for you to get more info

Especially if you're planning a trip to Japan and you're looking for more great places eat

And we do really good taste in restaurants and adventure places

I'm just saying I wish we can do videos about all the places

But it's impossible some of them are just too small to even bring a camera in

We'll also be sharing some exclusive videos with our sponsors if you remember our eat your sushi segments

We'll be doing something similar by compiling our vlog clips throughout the month and posting those up in a Sure To Be Awkward

behind the scenes monthly compilation (gonna be quite awkward)

Yeah, it could include: adventures, food, cooking, perhaps some good old-fashioned movie reviews

how you can show your support of us. Especially when we shoot those

Super expensive food videos (S- Too soon Simon..) some of you have asked us to open up a patreon account so if you are inclined here is

a way for you to support our channel and to get a little something extra from us as well

So, if being a Nasty Sponsor sounds like something you want to do, click on the sponsor button and read more about it. With all that-

Help support us so we can afford new lights

(Simon behind the camera: This piece of shhhh >_> )

With that being said though, there are some things that we want to STRONGLY

emphasize: I don't want /any/ of you feeling guilty for not partaking in a sponsorship program

No, we are just happy to have you watching our videos and leaving comments

And we always will be. We're not changing the content of this channel

We're not putting any of you behind a paywall.(M- Nope!) We're still going to continue to make the videos

We regularly make (M- Yep!) and still post them up for free for you to watch whenever you want

M- So, that's it! Whether you choose to be a sponsor or not, we want to know what you think. (S- Yes)

I might be biased, but I think we have a wonderful and thoughtful community here

We do! and feedback is something we cherish from you guys

deeply. So for those of you that are interested in our channel, or just the direction YouTube is going as a whole, this sponsorship

program is, I think, going to be quite useful; but that is just our perspective and since this a Beta program,

there's still room for it to change and grow. For example:

You can only become a sponsor if you use a desktop or a laptop

You can't do it via your iPhone or iPad for some reason, and that needs to be fixed.

But, please tell us more! What don't you like about it? What would you like added or what would you like changed?

We will tell YouTube all of your feedback and hopefully get closer to something that can help all YouTube creators as a whole

We've got more info about this program in the infobox below, and if you are a creator

We're gonna include a link so that you can sign up to be beta testers as well. Can't guarantee you'll be beta testers,

but you can sign up for it at least and that's it. It's all of our

Thank you guys so much for being with us for so many years, those of you that are new, those of you that have been us with

us for 10 years cannot believe we've been doing this for a

Decade almost more for those of you who have been with us for 10 minutes. Thank you all for being
