2022-05 summary

May 2022 material is mostly livestreams and vlogs about dating and past relationships, travel planning, YouTube career worries, finances and domestic life. Daniel recounts a Manchester viewer meetup with heavy drinking and tears over Mila, a viewer who moved in and was sent away, a hotel date that became an unintended relationship, and the end of his relationship with Girlfriend B.

Travel centers on a family trip to Malaysia (sister's tickets paid) and possible longer Asia stays while Japan stays closed to ordinary tourists; Daniel weighs this against comfortable life in England. Over legal worries he backed up and then deleted explicit OnlyFans content.

Income worries recur: declining channel revenue, audience loss after genre shifts, a low-paying sponsorship, and OnlyFans providing about a third of income. Trading features repeatedly, with reported losses, a NASDAQ short loss, share sales and Ethereum sold around $4,200.

A personal-history video covers his marriage and divorce: meeting a Hong Kong viewer in 2018, collaborating in 2019, his ex-wife later dining and recording with the man, then confrontation, separation, agreed divorce and a move to South Korea. Chihiro and the man then made critical content for over a year. Daniel concluded that letting male friends communicate directly with partners breached boundaries and ruined the marriage.

Media opinions include a 4/10 review of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (repetitive fights, flat lead, lowered stakes) and 4.2/10 for early Kenobi episodes.

The late-May life-update stream covers driving lessons, transit problems, dating, polls about Chihiro, a Discord dispute with Sophia, content plans, finances and the Malaysia-versus-England choice.

Whether intimacy occurred with the Manchester-video woman is contested, and whether she reported Daniel is unknown.

Alleged stream-sniping and scamming involving Ice, Chihiro posting gifts to provoke jealousy, and a report to concierges of fire alarm tampering remain allegations.

Whether the Essex girl's reasons for avoiding meetings were genuine, and whether she will message again, is unknown.

Timing of Japan's reopening and access to other Asian destinations is unconfirmed; whether Daniel stays long in Asia and whether OnlyFans legal risks justify the shutdown are unresolved.

Daniel does not know why no pregnancy occurred or whether the girlfriend secretly took birth control.

How to handle the new hotel-date relationship is undecided, and the length of her possible stay is unconfirmed.

The cause of severe intoxication and crying after two drinks is unclear.

Daniel's and his ex-wife's accounts differ on whether the dinner with the Hong Kong man was meant to provoke Daniel or help the man; her apology's sincerity, Chihiro's expectations and the man's feelings or motives are unclear.

Allegations that Chihiro hit Daniel and that Sophia called him a loser and threatened to leak material are unconfirmed.

The sister's relayed report that their father took a shovel to deter youths throwing stones at his car is unverified.

Learner license expiry, the driving instructor's legitimacy and arrangements, and whether Daniel can pass the test within four weeks before Malaysia are unresolved.

Unresolved: whether Chihiro is dating anyone, whether Sophia caused damage before being unmoderated, how nude photos of Chihiro were obtained and circulated, and who shared screenshots in Discord.

Whether Daniel will go to or live in Malaysia or stay in England for a license and Tesla is undecided, as are hotel cost and settling down versus dating and travel.

Unclear: timing of leaving the Netherlands, whether fluctuating viewer counts reflect fake viewers, whether a woman Daniel dated knows about his channel, and Chris Broad's circumstances.

Daniel interprets his ex-wife's social media activity as signs she misses him; this is his interpretation, not confirmed.
