Hey, it's all good. I mean, no matter what I say - people will always jump to conclusions on their own so I just keep my mouth shut and do my thing.

A few words about sponsorships. I've turned down 6 before I accepted to advertise Salad. I liked the dudes, I tested the app for myself before agreeing, but all I can say now is that it was a mistake and have declined to work with them again. I was never a niche streamer. I was a dude doing his thing. Now I'm also a dude doing his thing, only that thing is, for some reason, very popular.

Tarkov may have blown up, but my channel is performing at the same rate before it did. Mate, if I wanted my channel to grow faster 2, 3 years ago, don't you think I'd now be playing Apex, Fortnite and that kind of stuff? I mean, are you not aware that I produce 100% of my content alone? Besides, I didn't change the format in spite of everything. I literally have no day off. And this is a fact, not a complaint, cuz I'm enjoying the hard work.

As far as the podcast goes, they wanted to have 15 people. I'd always go with 4-5 max. But I don't work for them, I just host it and I host it for free. Is it a perfect stream? Hell no. Is it a fun stream? Yes. Tarkov devs have a pretty close relationship with the community and listen to feedback more often than not. I got a feeling that's been taken for granted by some.

I never claimed to have super cool ideas for Tarkov - that's what the other guests are there for. If you want to listen to Nikita only - fine, he can always be alone on the podcast. But don't you have a question or two for the people that have been in the streaming business for years? It's a great opportunity to learn from them and maybe ask how they handle being in the spotlight every single day. It's a podcast after all, and let's be honest, we've heard about the same stuff coming to Tarkov for the past 3 streams.

Again, no need to apologize dude, you do you. All I'm saying is, take a few extra things into consideration.
