Cam Yeast In Pineapple Vinegar, Thrips On Potted Plants
Drake answers two questions this week. Cam yeast forming on fresh pineapple vinegar is a harmless film yeast, the kind that also turns up on kombucha and lacto ferments. Leave it alone. Shaking it off will only disturb your colonies.
A grower with thrips on potted plants asked about making a microbial pesticide with JMS and potassium hydroxide. Drake said skip it. Use lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus with calcium phosphate to harden the plant instead. Thrips are "janitors" that show up when plant nutrition is weak, so fix the plant, not the bug.
Most of the episode is Drake weighing whether to keep doing a live Sunday show. He cited views under 200 an episode, about 16 live viewers, and $217 in YouTube income over roughly five months, under two dollars a day. He's considering switching to emailed questions and short topic clips instead.
On sponsors: he has none besides Pure KNF Foundation itself, and turned down the idea of a compost company sponsor. KNF teaches you to make compost and inputs yourself for free, so a sponsor selling you the same thing isn't something he'll shill.
Questions answered
- 11:45 Cam yeast is forming on my pineapple vinegar — is that natural in KNF fermentation? — It's a harmless film yeast; leave it alone, it's fine on vinegar, and shaking it just messes up your colonies.
- 20:48 My potted plants have thrips — should I make a microbial pesticide with JMS and potassium hydroxide? — No — feed plant nutrition instead: lacto and Bacillus with calcium phosphate to harden the plant, since thrips show up when nutrition is weak.
- 25:03 Can you put out recordings of the Sunday live event for people who miss it? — The shows are recorded but hard to find; best time to watch is live, second best is before it gets taken down.
- 36:19 Why are you talking about changing the show's format? — Views are under 200 an episode and only 16 people watch live, so Drake wants to reach more people with clips instead.
- 38:30 How much does the live show actually earn? — About $217 over roughly five months, under two dollars a day, which is part of why Drake is rethinking the live format.
- 40:44 Can you make more money on Instagram or TikTok than on YouTube? — Maybe, if he cuts the content into short clips instead of running a weekly live show.
- 41:30 How do you compare to other KNF YouTubers? — Probably the most experienced, but he admits the community around the show has gotten a bit cult-like and hard for newcomers to enter.
- 44:52 What sponsors do you have? — None except Pure KNF Foundation itself; an outside sponsor would mean pushing a product instead of teaching people to do it themselves for free.
- 49:13 Shouldn't a compost company sponsor you? — No — KNF teaches you to make your own compost for free, so he won't shill a product people should just make themselves.

0:00 Hey, hey, let's see if this works. Office hours for May 10th. Double check, I'll get going. Technical difficulties. What is it though?
0:58 Oh yeah, okay. Hey. We're back. Yes. Is it for real? I don't know. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Alright, hey. Welcome to Green Natural Farming Office Hours for May 10th. 2026. Let's see. Sorry about the technical whatever's going on. It's always fun to run a live show equipment. Let's do it. There we go. So we'll get a bit of higher wisdom here. Today. Today, today, today. Today is gathering together.
1:46 Yeah. Sorry. I think this sounds coming through okay. I'm seeing it now. I had to restart the computer. So today is gathering together. It says to lead others towards good. One must purify one's own character. The teaching teaches us the world cannot come, cannot move toward harmony, well-being, unless human beings act in unison to further what is good and true. Our power as individuals is multiplied when we gather together as families, groups, and communities. With common goals. It is our collective strength that makes the positive change possible in the world.
2:35 Over the tremendous power of the human collectives must be directed by a qualified leader. The XRMC encourages you to develop your character into that of a leader. Before a person may gather together others to achieve good, he must first gather together within himself proper principles. A leader who is not balanced and collected within himself will always be suspected by his followers. And in the hour when he needs them most, they will hesitate. Therefore, the first task of a potential leader is to accumulate in his own character all that is good through correct.
3:27 In a very real sense. The progress of the world depends upon your thoughts as an individual now. Concentrate then on examining and correcting your thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Improve yourself into the kind of person you would follow wholeheartedly without hesitation. Learn to accept the natural progress that occurs when you act in harmony with the principles, the proper principles. And seek no progress at the expense of those principles. Train yourself to avoid misfortune by anticipating them in advance.
4:14 By purifying your character in this way, you cling steadfastly to higher things. And you lead yourself and others for his well-being and good fortune. So, yeah, interesting. Interesting. Thanks for Poe gathering together. Thanks for gathering together today. How was out last two weeks? Went to Maui. Got some fam. Good. Arm Apprentice Mentorship Program. Had some fun over there.
5:02 Stuff. You know, my whole thing, my whole setup. So, yeah, so, anyways, good. Top fam. Did all that. But if you guys got any questions, let me know. And also, we talked about the whole thing. My whole setup. So, yeah, so, anyways, good. Top fam. Did all that. But if you guys got any questions, let me know. And also, we talked about changing the format of the office hours. So, I'm not sure. I know you guys are here and it's live and I want to be here to do that. I just got gathering together. But I'm not sure I'm going to continue to do a live show.
5:49 Because my time is becoming extraordinarily valuable to me. I mean, it's always valuable, right? YOLO. But, um, I'm not sure the right format to do. But I respect you guys being here. I appreciate that. And I appreciate the community we built for the past, uh, four years? Three years? Four years? I don't know. It's been a long time. A lot of episodes. I can hear every Sunday in the office doing this. And I don't know if you can hear the baby chicks behind me. The whole gaggle of baby chicks in this little bin here. Scratching away doing their thing.
6:23 Um, but my ultimate goal is to spread more Korean natural. And I'm trying to do these office hours to answer questions. To be available. To have where you can ask, you know, somebody who knows. Literally, I've been doing it for 19 years. So, you know, someone with that level of experience. Putting myself out there to be available. To answer questions. And the last few episodes we've done have had a lot of good questions. And I appreciate that. And it's nice. Um, but I'm also wondering if the reach is as good as it could be. And I think one way to do it. Is to email the questions to me.
7:09 And I can answer them. Versus trying to run a live show. And then trying to clip things. Because I appreciate tuning into live. And I don't want to discount any of that. Because you're here, right? Yeah. And, but I'm doing live events. Like the chocolate festival that Claudia was at yesterday. And that was pretty fun. You didn't. You weren't in Hilo. You didn't go to the chocolate festival. It was pretty amazing. And next weekend, I'll be at the B. World B Day. Down at the Makapapa. Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa. Center in Hilo. Um, repping KNF. Doing the good things.
7:43 Um, you know, trying to, to put my best effort and energies where they are best suited. And so, um, I appreciate loyalty. But I also want to be more, uh, more effective. I don't know. Maybe it's just a, uh, imagined ideal that's not real. Gathering together. Building my own character. I do appreciate this. And I think, obviously, um, asserted myself as a leader in this by continually showing up. But, maybe some chocolate fest yesterday. Yeah. Haha.
8:31 All kinds of folks. These folks had, um, freeze-dried chocolate. Pretty epic. Cool-weighted. Freeze-drying. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff.

Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. Cool stuff. It reminds me. It's probably a membership meeting.
11:31 So I've been building. I've been so delved into the infrastructure that I have not been dealing with the membership and the PR because we... It's a lot to carry but I'm trying my best. So yeah. Hey so we do got a question here. I'll up gears a little bit and answer a question. What I'm here to do instead of just telling you what I'm up to. There's some questions. Um. And this question is how to deal with cam yeast. Is it natural and KNF fermentation? How and what? Finding cam yeast forming in my pineapple vinegar I've made from fresh pineapple skins, etc. So, well, I don't know.
12:15 I'm not exactly sure what cam yeast is but there's a quick easy way to do that. To go to my friend Claude. No, I gotta go again. It'll just, I'll just ask the old school DuckDuckGoes cam yeast. I'm here. Oh no. There. Okay, I logged in for me. Let's see. Alright, so. Um. So. I only have one monitor going. That's probably the issue. Either monitor. Either died or I'm not sure. It's black. I turned it on. I cycled the power and it's not turning on. I only have one monitor going. That's probably the issue. Either monitor. Either died or I'm not sure. It's black. I turned it on.
12:54 I cycled the power and it's not turning on. I only have one monitor. So, I challenge. It's a live stream. A two monitor setup is black. So, I'll just read it to you because showing it to you is very difficult. It says cam yeast is a harmless film yeast that often shows up on the surface of ferment. It says sometimes can't have brews and lacto ferments. Then what? Um. You're getting cam yeast. So, I got this when I make ginger bug. And. He is just a shake it. Shake it like. But you're getting it where. Let's see here. I wish I had two monitors because it would be a lot easier to do this.
13:41 Um. How to deal with cam yeast. Is it a natural. Is it a natural. Is it natural in K and F formation. Fermentation. Uh. How and why. Um. And apple vinegar. It's fine. If it's forming on a vinegar, that's totally fine. That is totally fine. Just let it do its thing. Um. If you want it to go away, you could shake it. But shaking it's going to mess up all your colonies. So just leave it. Fine. Oh, it's not bad. Not good. Just is. Um. Target cards. Or badge. Badge. Badge. I thought I could be wrong. Um. Okay. Well, so to finish. You see. And this is the thing. I'm jumping between topics.
14:24 So how the hell am I going to clip this into anything useful. And you know. Harder to reach a broad audience. Because to find an hour to tune in to. Like for the gems. I get. You know. Liking the community. Liking what we're building. But. Like here I am distracted on something. Trying to read multiple questions. I'm going to be able to get a lot of questions. I'm going to be able to get a lot of questions. I'm going to be able to get a lot of questions. I'm going to be able to get a lot of questions. I'm going to be able to get a lot of questions.
14:44 I'm going to be able to get a lot of questions. I'm going to be able to get a lot of questions. Like you know. Liking the community. Liking what we're building. But. Like here I am distracted on something. Trying to read multiple questions. And I do this. Versus like. If I just had this question on Cam East. Then I could look it up. Research it. And be like. Very well address it. Now I'm jumping between things. And it's really hard to clip this out. Like. Get it to someone who just wants to understand Cam East. I appreciate being here live. But. Over years and years and years. I really. Like.
15:12 You know. I can look at the analytics of the YouTube. I haven't built it up to like. And it's not that I don't appreciate you. I don't appreciate you tuning in. But I haven't built it up. Literally we need to get natural farming out to like. Thousands. If not millions. If not billions of people. And. So far I'm reaching hundreds. Which I appreciate. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate it. Especially when there's super chats. Especially when there's support. And there's support in all levels. And I'm not discounting any of that. I'm just saying like. We need to get it to billions. So. Clips.
15:43 Little TikTok. Things. You know. Packaging. I don't know. I'm going to try it. Try the format change. If it sucks. Then maybe I'll be back live. Great. But then. It'll probably destroy the live. Rebuild that. I don't know. But anyway. Jumping around again. Jumping around. Now I'm talking about that. When I should be answering a question. Like. Focus. I guess. You know. A live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show.
16:21 It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. It's a live show. Anyway. Yeah. Well, I appreciate it. I do appreciate it. And oh yeah, just happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. Yeah. Good thing.
17:02 Probably do something for my mom. We went to the chocolate festival yesterday with my mom. Nice. With the shining in her aspect. She's wearing her orange hat. Killing. Answering the same question a thousand times. Well, it wasn't a thousand. It was more like a hundred. Answering the same question a hundred. In different ways. I like answering it in different ways. And I'm not minding it. Because life is all about the basics. Give me a warning. Explaining. It's just, you know, I think of it like music artists. They go and they go in front of some show.
17:31 Like, you know, they're playing for an audience. And they're playing for an audience. And they're playing for an audience. And they're playing for an audience. And they're playing for an audience. And they're playing for an audience. And they're playing for an audience. And they're playing for an audience. They're playing for an audience. And it's like they want to hear the same thing. Again. And again. And again. Stairway to heaven. Play it again. Just my mind. I'm much more creative. I like to get out. And the same question over and over again. That's why I try to teach you guys.
18:05 And you guys can answer the same question over and over. And then I can answer advanced questions that you can ask me. Oh. Yeah, sorry. I'm just. I'm zoned out. I'm tired. I've been running. I've been burning the candle on both sides. I ate shit off a dirt bike the other day. Fucked up my spine. I didn't really have enough. I didn't really have enough. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I didn't really have enough. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah.
18:38 I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. I was, yeah. So, so, yeah. Screw your soil with pure KNF. I appreciate it. Screwing the soil. Super amazing. On Maui, I was talking about how, you know, plenty of people need to screw it. Yeah, the rocket chat. So, goof, goof on the rocket chat. Getting into the chats. Getting into all that. I am working on that right now.
19:23 I got the foundation together. I got all the things. It's not working. It won't reset your passwords. I can't sign. I'll, I'm, I'm going to deal with that. That, that is my goal. Basically, deal with the tech support. Because I built the, the foundation, the platform behind. But now I need to deal with the membership and members. Member, membership, job, and human rights. By talking to my artificial friend, Claude. See, there was another question. I got, um, market garden. Medaj is designed for people that, um, don't, you know, like, it's like, you just want surface
20:14 level stuff with a shallow understanding. Medaj is, but you really want to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep.
20:47 I'm going to get deep. I'm going to get deep. I'm not over near my tractor right now. Maybe you're fixing my tractor. I don't know. It's not really broken though. He's up. Okay. Lee got the rips. Thinking of. Potted plant. Going to make your damn microbial pesticides. Basically make JMS and add potassium hydroxyl. I always. Caution on that. Of just like. If you got thrips. Better off to eat. Calcium phosphate. Structure. I wish I could pull. It's really hard for me. Can't switch my. This one.
21:32 Oh. But I would go probiotic man. I think. You're having thrips. Thrips are eating. Thrips. Thrips. Or leaf. So. You're. You're a member. So go. And watch. The episode. With. Let up. Or dot org. Eating. On my. So much. I.
22:17 If you can't tell. Worn down. I'm. I'm. Taking on a lot. And it's fine. Happy to do it. But then like. Trying to organize. To try to find things. Try to do stuff. It's like. But it's not where it's supposed to be. It's this other. Thing of like. Yeah. You should watch the episode. And Earl. Where is it? For the whole infrastructure. Well. Should have watched it. When you had it. Oh. Best time to watch the video. Is live. Second best time is. Before it gets erased. It's somewhere. Somewhere. Just not easy. To watch it. It's not easy. To watch it. It's not easy. To watch it. It's not easy.
22:55 To watch it. It's not easy. To watch it. It's not easy. To watch it. It's not easy. To watch it. It's not easy. It's not easy. To watch it. It's not easy. To watch it. It's not easy. To watch it. It's not easy. It's not easy. It's usability. You build something. You try to build. There's more stability in it. The right move. Trying to do my true will. What is it? No book. And I go. And then. Hurt yourself. And you're. YOLO. But. But literally. You're better off to increase the plant nutrition. Nutrition. If you start fighting bugs.
23:40 You will fight bugs. It's not like. Bugs are not. They're. They're janitors. So like. Imagine. Imagine you're. Going. And you have some mess. The janitors come. And you start shooting the janitors. And killing the janitors. And it's like. They're like. Yo. We're here to clean the mess. And you're like. Get out of here. Die. It's like. You know. They're there for a reason. They're cleaning up a mess. There's. There's. There's. There's other things. There's an underlying problem. Especially thrips. Um. And I get it. You're probably in a greenhouse. Indoor. Doing plants.
24:16 And you're trying to manage a whole bunch of things. But. Um. Go with protectors. Go with. Lact. Um. Go bacilluses. With. Calcium phosphate. Harden up your plants. Fat. Learned how to use. Chubby skinny balance. With. Nutritional ratio. And all. Things. See. This is another reason why. I'm. Like. Like. But if you had asked this question of thrips. I can really be like. Hey. You need to do this. This. And. I can make a better. I just think. Sorry. This is probably my last live broadcast. Sorry. It's not more happy. Like. But. I need to switch the format.
24:56 Because I can answer this thrips question. Way better. Than I can right now. Live. Especially with broken equipment. It can really get you. Solid. Thrips. Can you put out recordings. Your Sunday event. Um. Put out. I don't know. This is recorded. I mean. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not appreciating any of this. But. You're saying like the whole world needs it. I'm getting. Like. Less than 200 views. Almost all the time. Like 150. And 207. 213. Okay. So those broke 200 there. Um.
36:56 And then going down. You know like 150. 140. 147. And then. Like down here. 89. Something. I went wrong. I think that's probably. Something else. Like one. You know. They're under 200. And they're under 200. And this is like. All time views. It's not just live. Live. Live is even. You know. There's only 16 of you guys. Which I appreciate. Like. Don't get me wrong. I'm not. I'm not. Not appreciating you. I'm just saying. Like. If you enjoy how important this content is. And then like. This format is killing me. Right. 220 views. Like. 184. Like. It's not. It's not. It's not.
37:38 We should appreciate. How much more. I need to change the format. And get it back. To where it's. It's. It's. It's reaching more people. Because it's like. Anyway. Because those are the analytics. I look at. Right. I'm like. I'm getting less than 150 views. And I'm. Here. And then also. You know. Like. Another interesting thing. I'm complaining. You guys. But like. Oh. Where is it. Oh. Here. Earn. Right. To the earning tab. And let's see. Where. Or. No. Maybe. And now. Analytics. Let's look up.
38:23 What is the income coming in? 46 dollars. 46 dollars. 46 dollars. Over the last 28 days. Okay. Odds are. That was. One or two people. So. Let's do a longer thing. Let's go. Go. 2026. Let's see. 217 dollars. Okay. And that's. But we're almost halfway through the year. That's five months. 200. Like. What is that? Two. Uh. How many days is. Five. Five. I am. Oh. We're halfway through. We'll do four. Four. Four times. Thirty. That's 120. Seven. Twenty. That's a dollar and eight. A dollar eighty. It's.
39:08 It's. It's. It's less than two bucks a day. Of like. Trying. Trying. Imagine trying to. Support yourself. Oh. Wait. Did I even share my screen? No. I didn't. You guys didn't even see that. So here. Two hundred seventeen dollars. Over. In twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. Twenty. So it's like less than a dollar. Dollar eighty a day. Like. Can you live on that? You know. I mean. And granted. I only do it once a week. But like. This is like my main income source. Not to say I didn't go just teach and do other things. And I'm not. Out there doing other. Like. I do other things. Right.
39:51 I don't know. It's killing me. It's like. It's not enough. Like. It's hard. Because you're here. And I'm telling you guys. And you're like the ones actually supporting. But. Also. Maybe you're not sharing. And you know. Putting it out there. Like. So maybe it is part of your fault. Just like. You know. I'm not. Trying to hold down my core supporters. I appreciate you. I'm just saying. I. This shit gotta change. It just gotta. It's gotta. It's not. You know. Is my lawn robot up and running? Um. It should be. Right over there. Um. It should be. I did build another robot this last week. It was a.
40:32 I built a 25.4 hour. Block for my friend. Send it to her. That should be. Can you make more money on Instagram and Facebook than YouTube? Can't have popular on TikTok. No. All that. It requires. Like. Well. If so. If I can do clips instead of lives. Then maybe. Because then those are TikTokable. Those are Instagramable. I can cut them down to under three minutes. Hey guys. Welcome to KANIP. And just go full. Influencer right? I was gonna say asshole. Influencers. You know. The synagram. Synagram. Um.
41:20 How do you compare to other KNF YouTubers? Are you one of the top ones? The. I'm only. I'm like. The only. It's not that I'm the only one. There's other people putting out KNF stuff. But. Probably the most experienced person. And the whole idea was here to have people ask questions. Really go deep and to support people. But. I. It's more of a cult that we built. Like. I appreciate you guys. You know. But it's a little cultish. It's hard for new people to get in. Um. Short dudes. Sweet potatoes. Speedos. Yeah. Like. You know. I gotta like. Flax and like. Pitties and stuff. You know.
41:57 That's how to get viewers. I gotta. I gotta get the thirst going. Ah. But anyway. I gotta format change. I guess that's what this episode is about. Sorry if you tuned in and you're like. Oh man. I want it. Or whatever. Hopefully it'll be better. Please do email me questions. Please do help me make the clips better. Help the new format happen. Take off. Do the right things. Because. You know. That's what it's gonna take bro. What it's gonna take. Something like that. I don't know. I don't know. It's like. I think the definition of insanity is being this. Expecting different results.
42:31 I feel like I'm expecting different results. I feel like I'm expecting results. But I guess. I gotta try something. And it's like I built something. And like. Do I want to. I don't know. Maybe you can see. In me. I tell you. You know. Everyone drop a hundred bucks. I get a thousand dollars. And I'll be like. Hell yeah. I'll do this. There's sixteen of you. If I had sixteen hundred dollars right now. Like. Yeah. You know. I'm gonna keep doing this. But. You guys aren't. Just. You know. Everyone thinks it's someone else's duty. To. To make it happen. Right. Tragedy of the commons man.
43:09 I'm certain. I'm not gonna end this episode. With sixteen hundred dollars. So. Is it really my fault? It's also your fault. Anyway. I hope it's funny. At least. You can laugh at me. Yeah. Five to ten videos. On specific topics. That's what I want to do. Send me questions. I'm building the base. Yeah. It talks the most invasive. CCP owned thing. Yeah. Yeah. We'd love it. What in your house is not CCP? Let me just ask you. Everything in your dang house is from China bro. Get over it. You know. Um. Don't. Focus on money. Platform. I'll never. Yeah. I know. It'll never.
43:54 It'll never. It'll never. It'll never. Yeah. I know. It'll never happen. Because you're not putting down sixteen hundred dollars bro. It'll never happen. Because you're not doing it. Oh. Because you like me not fitting for influence. Hey. I'm. I could be an influencer. I like my stuff. I've been freaking killing it on the gram. I'm back on the ground by the way. Follow me there. Natural Farming Hawaii. Um. Flips are a great idea. TikTok and charts and all that crap. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm. If this is your first time tuning in. It's probably not the best episode for you.
44:33 Because I'm like leaving. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. You threaten people with scarcity. Like I'm leaving. I'll leave. If you don't pay me. Then people pay you. Like. They think it's just going to continue and go. Like. Classic. Yeah. Like. Like. Psychology. You gotta like manipulate people. Even though I hate it. It's like. You like something. Pay for it. What sponsors do I have? They could provide support to. I don't have any sponsors. Nobody. Oh. Pure Cana Foundation. Okay. I have one. I have a sponsor. Right. Pure Cana Foundation. It is. What am I going to do? Be slinging fricking.
45:12 You know. That crap that I looked at the other day. Those microbe things. Like. Slinging product. I don't believe in. The problem is what I sell is. Or. The education I give you is to do it yourself. Do it free. Right. So any sponsor is going to be ripping you off. And they don't tell you about it. They're. You know. They're taking. They're stealing from you. I mean. I just. If someone has to pay to advertise. Like. So sponsors. They could. What sponsors? Get me some sponsors. You know. I'll shill. Blocks. For soldering.
