Garbage LeVar Burton * @SatchellDrakes as of today, i am no longer a member of Normal Boots. I'm willing to bet it has been a tumultuous week for anyone who regularly enjoys Normal Boots entertainment. I believe the dream of Normal Boots as an idea was to create a fun and safe environment for people to enjoy and take part in ongoing conversations about their favorite art. And it's nothing short of disheartening that this dream has has to take another blemish by the irreparable and disgusting actions of another member. Being on this team has meant a ton to me and the journey overall has been such a memorable season of my life. This is why with mixed, yet sternly confident feelings I'm leaving Normal Boots. Though I never really knew Jared well or had a chance to have a meaningful conversation with him, the damage from his actions are a propagating howl across the internet and in the lives of real people. I cannot bear the association and its consequential implications. I strongly believe that in moments like these, it is important to center the narrative on the voices of the victims and act accordingly. The remaining members of Normal Boots have been gracious by inviting me into their creative endeavors. It's no mystery that I'm not an analytics-driven person. Nonetheless, they have generously counted me in as an equal and have been willing to support me, elevate my voice, and accept whatever skills I could offer. I've grown a lot from it and I'm grateful. Thanks for your support and understanding.

I guess so. During one of those videos it was briefly mentioned that companies/groups such as Normal Boots (or corps like Machinima) served to "elevate your voice", until some change in Youtube's algorithm made those partnerships redundant/useless and you were better on your own.

Such sites would also have better monetization than Youtube alone at the time and usually would release the video first. I think you can still see on some of Nerd's videos some caption that reads "Aired first on ScrewAttack at [date before YT upload]".

A relic of the past, guess Normal Boots now is just a brand that's getting eroded by the day.
