I want to keep Yuri's legacy alive, she means the world to me. I spent a lot of time on her, dumped like $10k of my own money into her while she was active, and struggled with her. I have moved on in many ways in my new identity and changed a lot.

Looking back on Yuri over 3 years ago, I was a teenager for a lot of my time as Yuri. I am not the same person now as before, so if you have some expectations that I'll be the exact same, I'm very very sorry. Ultimately I'm doing this for me, as a passion project to pay

homage to my IP that I love and cherish, and can look back on with fondness now, but ultimately I want to focus on looking forward. The past is so far gone it's hard for me to properly associate myself with it, so I would like to focus on building something new instead.

I hope I made sense, it's a bit of blabbering here and there. I hope fans of the past can respect me for who I am now or move on from me. But regardless I have no intentions to impress those against me, I just want to create stuff I'm proud of. Thank u for coming to my Ted talk

final thought

Also further clarifying in a similar sense. My plan will be -Prerecorded ASMR -Sometimes live stuff, like asmr, zatsus and guerillas. Maybe some fun event stuff -I do not intend on opening memberships(sorry emote lovers) -all the VOD content thats up will stay up

I will be creating content as Yuri for the love of it, as a personal project. Monetization will extend only to ad revenue, and maybe merch one day(simple stuff like standees, and then maybe one day I'd like to do a plushie or something that fans like)
