CHANGE IN CONTENT CREATION

For the longest time I (Jandre "AlphaDog1292") have been toying with the idea of how we wanted to handle content creation for Gaming After Dark, specifically on YouTube. I basically rebranded my channel twice until we got to Gaming After Dark. With this part time gig of mine blowing up the way it did it became harder and harder for me to focus on constant CC and a bigger problem was to create this "commercialized clean" content. Thus we have made a decision...

Gaming After Dark's YouTube channel will brand back to the origins of AlphaDog1292. From this point on all GAD content will be directly shared to the appropriate social channels (I mean, you guys really do not want to leave one app for another do you?)

With this change we will focus on promoting ALL local Content Creators with the idea to start posting their schedules and supporting each other to reach out goals!

Thank you for your support and let's make 2023 a huge year for Local GQ content creation!!!
