New snake species discovered in another snake’s belly
Another one bites the dust!!!!!!!!
Ok so I hate to put it that way, especially since this is another close friend of mine who is hanging up the camera. We have talked a lot over the years about good people leaving the community or the spotlight. Andrew has done amazing things over the years to get these awesome animals in front of people, he has an infectious personality that just draws you in. Over the years he built a YouTube channel called Drew The Entertainer and worked to get it up to 5,827 subscribers, no easy task for sure. According to Social Blade he has achieved 1,083,410 video views from his 251 uploads. His viking helmet will be missed. Being a close friend I spoke with Andrew shortly after his latest video came out announcing his departure at which time he confirmed to me he was done. Further questions on the topic as of this time have gone unanswered.
I have said time and time again over the years that we need to take care of people like this. I know personally how hard it is trying to be successful on YouTube and how depressing it can be to pour your heart into something and watch it crash and burn. If we keep pushing away these people doing good things in our community all we will be left with are the sensationalists “You know who you/they are” Is that what we want to become? Is that what entertains us these days?
A little inside information that I have never told anyone. Not long ago I was on the verge of putting DRN up for sale. I was so depressed, done, unsatisfied with it and just did not want to deal with it anymore. One man pleaded with me to continue, I have one man to thank for making the biggest difference in that decision and Andrew, I thank you for that. I hope there is a chance, even if it’s a small one that I can return the favor, things will not be the same without you brother.
