      Best video in a while. Finally again an authentic Roman video, something about you and not about the z-losers in ru. Hopefully you will focus more on yourself again, the nice vids about creativity and nice stories about the areas you're visiting.

The name did stunt the channl growth i guess, bcoz its a swear word, but at this point its who u are, and NFKRZ is a true OG of youtube, most of his new viewers never seen the MLG days which was one of the best times for the internet.

    Gotta be honest: I've always loved the name NFKRZ, and when I slowed down to look at each letter individually, my first thought was, "oh, it's pronounced no fuckers!" Then, I cracked open one of your videos from that original (2015) era, and had the pronunciation confirmed.
    Don't ask me how it happened, but your older content (2015 era) got suggested to me by the algorithm around 2019 or something, and I just took a deep dive into your 2015-era stuff, and I've been watching you ever since. It's been a wild ride, and I've appreciated every second of it. Since I found you in 2019, I've always loved watching your work, and you're right: it'd be a whole different vibe if you changed your name. I do feel like we're kinda in a "cool kids club," and I like the vibe you've got going here.
    All the love from me, one of your Late-to-the-Party Blazers here! Thanks for all the content; it's been amazing to watch this channel, and what you produce, evolve over the years. I hope to keep watching for as long as you keep producing!

    As a native English speaker I knew immediately that NFKRZ was "no fuckers" because abbreviations often drop the vowels, and "z" instead of "s" is from black slang (and informal writing for centuries), and wouldn't a rapper use black slang. It never occurred to me that the z was really a trojan horse dog whistle and he was only pretending to be anti-Putin. Fight Z with Z, I guess.

      It was satire. Roman is clearly not Z. Plural "-z" is used occasionally by all English speakers, but as a significant phenomenon it emerged in Hip-Hop culture in the 1990s and is still only there mostly.

      To be honest, it's also the average experience of a 12 year old native English speaker trying to come up with a "cool, edgy" nickname! I think NFKRZ has less to do with Roman's limited knowledge of English and more to do with the age he was when he thought it up. Personally, I think he nailed it!😂
