    • @HowToX
      @HowToX  2 дня назад +1

      I recognize you as a long time viewer, so I'll give you the scoop. Some maintenance people found some of the Rodney stuff and asked a lot of embarrassing questions. I didn't want them to go home and research what the channel was about. This could ultimately give way to people knowing my location. So I privated all the videos. Truthfully, I was already going to hide those videos out of fear someone may think they were real. I have zero time to produce Rodney videos anyway, so nothing additional will get produced.
