Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
- Can I contact you?
- Are you down for a collab?
- Why didn't you reply to my YouTube comment?
- You made a video about Windows! You're a fencerider!
- Do you speak any languages besides English?
- Will you discuss "politics"?
Of course! I generally respond to all DMs/emails since I don't get many of them, just note that I might not be able to respond straight away.
Yes, in fact I've done collabs in the past. Just shoot me an email/DM pitching your idea.
I get a lot of them, so I stop checking comments once a video is old or has too many comments. A lot of the comments I get are phrased as a question, and I can't always give a simple yes/no answer without elaborating.
Fenceriders act neutral to avoid controversy. I'm honest about the fact I don't like Windows or proprietary software, but I don't flip out every time I see it because that's just silly. Also, talking about Windows doesn't mean I'm endorsing it because context matters.
I speak a bit of Portuguese and French, but I'm not fluent and make a lot of grammatical mistakes.
Unless it's relevant to the content (e.g., privacy laws), the answer is a big fat NO.
Sponsorships
I get quite a few sponsorship emails for a small channel. I advise you read this before offering to sponsor a video. I'm quite picky about sponsors, which is why I haven't done any yet:
- The sponsor should be relevant to the channel - don't expect a sponsor like E-Pal or BetterHelp (I'm not a Twitch Streamer or a chef).
- If you want to send out a product, I reserve the right to give an honest opinion.
- I may reject a sponsorship for ethical reasons - for example, I won't accept anything gambling related (since I think gambling is morally wrong and I also have minors who watch my videos)
