It is with a heavy heart that I must announce, StoryFire has been unable to secure financing.

After struggling for many years to financially bootstrap the platform myself, I can no longer sustain it.

As of February 1st, 2021, the StoryFire platform will be shutting down. 💔 This was one of the hardest decisions of my life...so much passion, time and resources poured into this ambitious idea...to see it close down is genuinely heartbreaking.

I genuinely gave it my all and really pushed to keep it alive, but unfortunately it wasn’t in the cards.

As of January 1st, 2020, I will no longer be making content for Youtube.

This has not been an easy decision to make and one that I've struggled with for the last couple years.

To put it frankly, I can no longer support a platform that doesn't have my best interest at heart. Instead, I will be releasing all content on StoryFire (@storyfireapp).

Allow me to explain in a Twitter thread that will hopefully enlighten you as to why I'm making this decision.

And also note, that I will always be eternally grateful for the opportunity Youtube has given me.
