2021 summary

Daniel's 2021 began with his return to England from Rotterdam after Mila ended their relationship. He spent months at his mother's house, took a retail job in April, moved to Manchester in July on a six-month lease, and gave notice for January. By year's end he was weighing Scotland, Greece, Liverpool, London, Kent and Japan, with no housing decision.

Trading losses ran through the year: a March correction, nearly all of a $35,000 stake lost by May, a crypto round trip liquidated in June, an inherited portfolio down 48% in September, and losses on a Trump bet and NASDAQ short, with some gains such as Ford and Altria.

Platform trouble recurred: a Tim Schofield copyright strike blocked YouTube livestreaming until 22 April, followed by Twitch suspensions, a Twitch copyright strike, and community strikes on a second channel.

Daniel reworked his content toward harsh game and film reviews and trending topics, privatized about 300 older videos, and relied on OnlyFans income, which was disrupted by an announced explicit-content ban later reported suspended and then reversed.

Loneliness, dating rejection and ghosting, and repeated regret over ending his marriage to Chihiro recurred. Daniel called 2021 one of his worst years. Mood self-descriptions are unverified and not diagnoses.

Daniel planned a retro or autobiographical 2D platformer and bought a MacBook Air for it. He also disputed claims that he lives off inheritance and spent Christmas and New Year alone in Manchester, streaming.

Early January 2021 (catalog date): Daniel was back in England about six days after leaving Rotterdam. Mila had ended the relationship on Boxing Day and he blocked her.

January 2021 (catalog dates): Daniel recounted a South Rotterdam altercation and rated the Netherlands 2.2/10. Late in the month he published a public appeal to Tim Schofield over a copyright strike, apologizing and asking for retraction.

March 2021: a market correction erased most of about £13,000 in gains, and Daniel moved between sectors. Recordings dated 25-26 March describe stopping livestreams until 22 April over the copyright strike and a second breakup with Mila.

April 2021: Daniel received a one-day Twitch suspension on 21 April, deleted about 550 clips and returned to YouTube streaming on 22 April. Late in the month he announced a retail sales assistant job starting the following Monday.

May 2021: Daniel fixed Rainbow Six crashes with a new power supply and other steps, and was refused installment financing for lack of a credit rating. He described losing nearly all of a $35,000 investment.

June 2021: Daniel bought crypto near $60,000, held through a drop to about $30,000, and liquidated on a 27 June recording. On 29 June he prepared to move to Manchester and reported £3,000 earned in June.

July 2021: Daniel left for Manchester on 1 July, was approved for a rental, paid about £6,000 upfront and took a six-month lease at £885 a month. Late July brought a Twitch copyright strike, a one-day ban and a third breakup with Mila.

August-September 2021: Daniel gave a one-year OnlyFans update ($19,202), bought a Razer Blade laptop, and weighed deleting his channel against keeping it as income. In mid-September he privatized about 300 videos and reviewed an inherited portfolio down 48%.

October-November 2021: a negative New World review earned 43,000 views and $148. Daniel blocked his mother after his sister's report of a fatal crash. In November he had his second vaccine dose, sold Ford stock after a 40% gain, gave notice on his flat and received two community strikes on a second channel.

December 2021 (recording dates): Daniel reviewed games and films harshly, spent days in Liverpool hotels with failed meetups and fire alarms, returned to Manchester, told management he would not renew his lease, and reviewed 2021 as one of his worst years.

Mid-to-late December 2021: Daniel bought a £880 MacBook Air for a planned game, got a one-day Twitch ban over a donation slur, disputed inheritance claims, held Christmas streams with a pink turkey crown and a broken tripod, and ended a New Year's Eve stream as viewers fell below 100.

When Japan will reopen, what rules apply, where Daniel will live next, and whether travel and stocks recover in 2022 are unknown.

Allegations involving Chihiro, Cesium, Pia, leaked material, and critics' claims (lockdown breaches, sociopath or predator labels, living off a late father's money) are unconfirmed; Daniel disputed some.

Unclear whether Tim Schofield saw the apology, why the second Twitch suspension occurred, the OnlyFans enforcement terms, whether the podcast offer is genuine, and where donations went. The apartment payment was cited as both £1,000 and £6,000.

Self-described low mood, social anxiety, emotional difficulty and physical symptoms are unverified; no diagnosis is supported and causes are undetermined.

Inheritance and payout timing is inconsistent across accounts, losses of about £11,000 are unconfirmed, and the Rotterdam deposit return and holdings recovery are unknown.

Unresolved: whether Liverpool and Essex contacts were sincere or trolling, whether the Venus podcast will be uploaded, and whether the game will be finished or sell.

Unclear whether the turkey was fully cooked, the tree's safety, and the allergy status after the cancelled test; the orangutan account and Adelphi Hotel ghost claims are unverified.
