we need to talk (again) 

thanks so much to everyone who donated, and to everyone who carries the spirit of MHA and other charities by supporting those around them in their everyday life!

"I didn't do anything" A flag merely sits idle, yet it still rallies everyone under it don't diminish your hand in this dude, you did a very good thing and we're lucky to have you

D&D Shorts: For JoCat! Community: *charges gates of Mordor*

A guy who I thought was american, but lives in Britain and now chilling in new Zealand. Dnd shorts is a world traveler

Dude, be very careful masking the card info. Blur isn't destructive, it can be reconstructed!

The beacons are lit, Jocat calls for aid!

to quote PirateSoftware's warning - blur is not destructive. It is possible to reverse engineer the exact characters by the way they blur. Best to just put opaque blocks of color over sensitive data. Stay safe, and thank you again for running this donation event! Edit: I see you've been given the same warning elsewhere. Cheers!

You didn't do anything? You made it possible. Thats more than anything.

JoCat is one of our best I hope he's doing great

Not all Hero's wear capes...I wish you and JoCat the best things in life! You're both incredible people and have always been, whether or not you get to read this, know that I love your content and the message you continue to send to the community as a whole. JoCat if you're reading this, know that this old wolf who's fought in 2 wars is willing to fight a 3rd one on your behalf...and I fight dirty!

hey dndshorts,love your videos,planning on dming soon.

Props, mate- not only for supporting JoCat, but also for a level of transparency most channels aren't comfortable showing.

You may also want to blur out your email address from the confirmation screen. Not only to avoid spam but because it can be used as a login to most websites. That's a good way to get your channel hacked.

I do not even play DnD (that much) and I still watch all your vids. No addblock. You are just that awesome.

your videos aren't stupid. quirky maybe stupid no way. love your content and your support of folks like myself who suffer from mental health issues (TBI/PTSD for me). Keep up the awesome work man.

man's name is WIlliam Earl, what a chill name. for a chill man. With a huge heart.

That is awesome! Also, really cool how transparent you are about the revenue and about donating it back to the charity. I don’t know of many people who would do that, so thank you for being one of them!

A youtuber who stands by his word and brings the recipts? how rare.

Hey, blur isnt destructive. People can unblur and get your card number.

If you're in New Zealand for a Viva La Dirt League/EpicNPCMan crossover, I _WILL_ lose my freaking mind.

Hey man, thanks for supporting charities. Awesome to see people actually getting some help! Cheers bro

Well done! Thank you both for the effort and donation and also the behind the scenes look at analytics!

There was a missed opportunity when you said "...what a RU-vidr sees when they look at their backend". Congrats on the fundraiser success.

really cool of you to show this part of the charity video, and super interesting seeing that back-end part of youtube

lots of people are willing to say that whatever ad revenue is being donated but youre another breed for actually going the extra step and proving that you did so the way you did, kudos to you, keep on doing what you do

Can’t lie I could argue that you’re the best dnd RU-vidr out there, you are amazing and respectful to your audience, your always looking out for other Channels and speaking out when you think you should despite the likely hate comments. Love what you do and keep it going

love the brakedown of the fundraiser donation process don't think I've ever seen someone do that, really cool that you showed that off

Heck yeah! Also thanks for the transparency!

Hell yeah man! Well done to you and your community. This is such an amazing story. Thanks for always being amazing.

Terrific transparency. Very admirable.

I just returnered from school and found this little gift. Your videos are fucking awesome you basically introduced me to dnd and teached me everything i needed to know. Thank you for everything you have done, and for everything you will do. (Also first)

It is so refreshing to see how 'tubers are making their living on the platform. It feels like such a blackbox from a viewer's POV. Very happy to be part of this generous community as well!

Congratulations on hitting 10k! What a great cause

It actually melts my heart learning how much good this fundraiser can do. As a neurodivergent person, thank you (all)!

Thanks for doing this DnD Shorts. Lots of people really need the help this money will provide. And I love that even just watching the video helps too. On behalf of those struggling with mental health, thank you. Thank you so much. 😁

As someone who suffers from mental health issues, thank you for what you did do. You brought this to the audience and you helped raise this money. Thank you!

This is amazing! Also, transparency FTW!

Bruv, you have a awesome name! Again, thanks for the videos, importent subjects and the will to go against the grain. Lotta love

As a bit of a data nerd, getting to see behind the scenes is really, really cool!

regardless of everything else, as someone who lives in New Zealand, WELCOME I hope your enjoying your stay, terribly sorry about the weather :P

Props to you for making the donation so transparently. Should be the standard

How does monetization and compensation for creators work for viewers with youtube premium? Do their views not count for anything? Thanks for all that you do Will. Youre a humble guy with integrity and its much appreciated.

Awesome work, well done for supporting such a great organisation! (However the audio is broken for the analytics section)

Thanks to you, and JoCat 🫡

Thanks for the behind-the-scenes knowledge share, very cool! And BTW, this was recommended as the next video to watch after I watched the video you were sharing the analytics about 😄

That is because we love JoCat.

Hey dnd shorts love your stuff both as a player and a dm and the things you do for the community

Son of a Liche is a book by J. Zachary Pike, it’s very good, it’s the second book in a trilogy, I’m halfway through my second listen

I hope JoCat will come back and bring brightness back with him. it is a shame there were people out there willing to do such horrible things to a good person. I know two wrongs do not make a right so I will not wish any "bad" on those people. I do wish that they will see the evil they have done and see the change in being better people. hey they might even be in need of help in their fight with mental health issues and the money raised will go to helping those who hurt others to not do so any more.

Thanks for collecting. Keep doing what you do!

For those who have struggled on RU-vid, this is one hell of a flex.

I appreciate the efforts and intentions behind this video

This video matters so much. Thank you for sharing and doing what you do

I imagine this must be one of the most rewarding types of videos you could make. One of the best things you could do with such a wide reach. Great seeing behind the scenes of a D&D channel that gets ad revenue - I'll get there one day!

Awesome job @dndshorts family. Oh I do hope that you are working with the VLDL crew

Y'all are amazing, and so are you man. One day I'll have the money to donate, I swear. One day....

Thanks for showing this-I love seeing how the backend of RU-vid works. What a beast. I can see how content creators can get lost in those analytics easily

Well done man, always good to see good things done

I watch on my wife’s account because she has a subscription but I just wanted to tell you I love your videos and your immense support you’ve given other creators and specifically jocat. You guys are amazing and what you did here for him and mental health awareness in general is absolutely invaluable and a thing of beauty.

Damm its amazing how mutch we can do as a comunety it brings a tear and a smile to my face

As an unemployed Kiwi, who donated, this is wonderful :)

these videos just show how much you care, thank you! keep up the good work.

If you combine shillelagh on a quarterstaff with polearm master you can make two each one dealing 1d8 plus str or wis and you can add on dueling fighting style and a shield in the off hand for a crazy melee build

Amazing behind the scenes video and even greater cause towards Mental Health America - it’s wonderful seeing influencers use their influence for a real cause greater than themselves - thank you 🙏

Oh hey, New Zealand's where I'm at! Hope you're enjoying it here

hey DnDshorts. i'm DM'ing for a bunch of my friends and this weekend we're doing a one shot in the yokai realms setting. thank you for all the amazing stuff you're doing.

Good stuff, Brother! Thanks for everything you do. Really.

Great work folks! This is amazing.

Hot tip, replace the blue with a black box. Dedicated people could theoretically unblur your information

Great breakdown for yt analysis Fantastic donation to help others I hit that subscribe button 😁 Thank you for putting your words into action!!!

You're the best, man. I love you!

I love all DnDshorts videos

Thank you for this video, your charity work, and supporting JoCat. You're a great person and RU-vidr.

Great video boss. You are a pillar of the community. Keep up the good work boss.

I love ALL DnD Shorts videos!

Fantastic job everyone. well done!! 🎉

You're great. Thank you for being you. ❤

Thanks for your hard work on this.

Good job everyone, but the fight isn’t over! Let’s keep doing our part day-by-day 😎🙌

this is absolutely cool finding out that just watching the video helped fund raise

i love this community.

I don’t find your videos stupid, but throughly enjoyable… As you wish us almost every time!

I like how this also shines a light on how much RU-vidrs make, which is pretty crazy. Making about 1000 dollars for half a million views

Just donated so it could hit 11k. Full numbers fun

The amount of money raised has gone up past 10,000! Great work everyone!

Well done. I appreciate you and your content.

This is awesome. Thank you!!

Congrats on the success and thanks for continuing to support the community!

a man of the people! i love your videos

This is great of you to do. Top bloke. Incidentally, what NZ channel are you in NZ to collab with? I bet they're so cool.

This feels like looking behind the DM screen... Wrong, but... exciting

Hope you're enjoying NZ and your time with Viva La Dirt League (Im assuming as a fellow New Zealander hahaha :) ). Loved the vids dude, keep it up!

I rate this 6/5 stars for going above and beyond in transparency. _WaitIwasntsubbedletmefixthatrealquick._

Awesome video, Will!

"I didn't do anything" A ship is nothing without it's captain, good sir, and you haven't steered us wrong yet. Also, CHARGE! FOR JOCAT!

Joecat did not deserve what happened. Justice for Joecat!

I like how this time we broke the 10.000 mark in 1 day with no extra help

That's badass!

Good Stuff. Here, have a sacrifice for the algorithm. Now imma go make a donation.
