What people are saying
It’s a house built with YouTube alone.
It’s the kind of house that makes me lose motivation.
My previous public persona doesn’t match the house that was revealed, so it feels awkward.
This house was built without a doubt because you all kept supporting me, and because I kept working hard for a long time. Thank you all, and thank you to me.
