    I like your work but can't watch your videos - that 'music' is awful. In a world where we spend so much time listening to looped trash on a phone line while queuing we can do without listening to the same rubbish for entertainment! There are plenty of sources for decent, royalty free tracks or you could use AI to generate something, Or you could just speak, that'd cost you nothing.
