How many people did Maneating Tiger "Ustad" or T-24 allegedly kill? 

The podcast with the filmmaker about the man eating tiger of Ranthambore (T-24) turned out to be one of the most insightful and important conversations I've ever had! Did you want me to post it this Saturday or Sunday afternoon ? 

Just want to apologize to all of you for all my venting lately about the channel's exposure...

I realize I just gotta be grateful and continue to get better. I've felt moments of weakness recently that got the better of me and I almost forgot that when I first started this channel, it was never solely about viewership, but my love for the topic regardless of the numbers. 

Having said this, thank you for all the immense support and kind words of encouragement in the comments of said posts- I am grateful and proud to have supporters like yourselves!

Gotta love how YouTube has literally THROTTLED this channel's exposure. There is no other explanation. After putting in time to improve as a creator, delivering higher quality content, and even setting up an upcoming interview with an award making filmmaker , views are no longer a guarantee like they were for this channel and it's highly discouraging. 

What YT is doing is CRIMINAL at this point!

Who the heck is running this platform and making its decisions? 

Why do a lot of hippo attacks in many parts of Africa go unreported? 

Who wins in a fight ? 

Which species of animal should I cover next? 

I've managed to land an interview with award winning documentary film maker Warren Pereira about Tiger 24 -a recent documentary he made about a tiger named "Ustad". - said to have eaten 4 people.

He has allowed me to post the trailer to my channel (it's streaming on Netflix) , but I highly suggest tuning into the interview even if you end up watching (or have already watched) the doc as we will be going into some serious details about Tiger attacks. 

The interview will be posted around March 21-22 

Ive spent many hours producing videos for this channel. In fact, some videos have taken me more than 80 hours to create...

I'm no animal expert , but they are truly one of my passions in life and I try my best to ensure accuracy in the information and entertainment value of every video posted. 

Despite my efforts , it seems that after just 1 year and nearly 150K subscribers gained (during which time the channel was averaging 3-4 million views a month), the views have dipped to under a million a month for the first time, which significantly affects my earnings (and thus livelihood). 

What seemed like the fastest growing channel in this niche, is now in jeopardy of failing, despite having seemingly proven itself over time. 

I have been trying my best to find new ways recently to appeal to the algorithm, but to no avail. 

I don't know what the future holds, but what I do know is I love doing this, and i will not give up. 

I'll continue to produce high quality videos and do my best despite these recent challenges, and if you have any video suggestions or comments about this situation, then please do share them below. 

Thank you for your continued viewership through this rough time.
