What was your favorite moment when you knew something that other people didn’t and you basically called it right from the get-go before it was revealed or happened?

I’ll start.

So, during DanTDM’s first tour back in 2016, he would later announce that he was working on a secret project that would be revealed later on, in the coming months. It was revealed that it was something relating to the tour that he was doing at the time, the first one with Evil Dan. He showcased a few behind the scenes clips of this project on his MoreTDM channel, and it looked like he was gonna be doing some kind of video or something, because they were recording him ‘interacting’ with Trayaurus, which was actually just a person doing an impression of him that they would later replace with Trayaurus himself in the actual project, whatever it was. I apparently just had a revelation that day when he showcased the BTS content on his vlogging channel, so I, randomly one day, in the best but arguably still awful DanTDM impression I could muster, said: “Hey guys, Dan here! And today, I am here to announce that I have created a YouTube Red show!”. Yes, I legit said ‘YouTube Red show’, in my best DanTDM impression I could possibly do. I thought nothing of it, since it was an impossibly stupid prediction that felt too good to be true, and there were, like, a hundred other things that this project could’ve possibly been. But, I settled on it and just said he was working on a 'YouTube Red show", doing an impression of Dan as if he was making an official announcement he was working on a show for the service. For those who are unaware, YouTube Red was the original name for the Premium service, and it used to have original programming funded and paid for by YouTube itself; shows like Scare PewDiePie and Paradise Calls are just two of the many examples of various Red shows. Keep in mind, I made this prediction, and impression, in December 2016, when he posted his latest vlog at the time, which would also be his last, since he has abandoned the MoreTDM channel since that last vlog, and it has been unused for almost 9 years now. Fast forward to March 30th, 2017, 3 months later. He posts a new video to his main DanTDM channel, and guess what it is? He officially announces that he is releasing “DanTDM Creates a Big Scene”… a YouTube Red Original. Yep, he was, in fact, working on a YouTube Red show the entire time and I just so happened to accurately predict this without even knowing that it was an original show for YouTube Red or what it was even for in the first place. I still don’t know how I was able to predict this so accurately and correctly, but I apparently called it.

    My partner and I were preparing plans to leave the US over a year ago. I was called overdramatic and told I was overreacting countless times. In November we set them in motion. I was one of the first people in my community to leave and now we’re comfortably outside the US, but also in a good position to help our friends follow
