Hi all,
I wanted to share some news about my channel and my personal life. And, most importantly, providing you with full transparency about my channel. First of all, I'm more than grateful to everybody who has been supporting me over the years. To be honest, I lost my motivation to keep the channel going many times; long-time followers probably noticed the breaks I took, especially in the last two years. The first video I uploaded was 9 years ago, and I was just 16 years old at that time. Now I'm 25 years old, and obviously, life is not the same as during my teenage years. Unfortunately, life is not easy for most of us, my life has been full of struggles starting from childhood, just like many of yours.
When I created the channel, my sole intention was to build a personal collection for myself. The channel was just a hobby for me and I wanted to keep it that way all time. After the channel growed, the artists started to send me their works for a feature. At that time, I was studying university and I had financial and family issues. It was kind of like an opportunity to make money through channel but I didn't feel comfortable about it and never charged the artists. I didn't want it to turn into a job, I was just sharing music that other people produced and I didn't monetize my channel on Youtube even if it was monetizable at that time. However, after graduation life hit me hard. Unfortunately, life sometimes force you to do things you don't want to do.
As I mentioned, I simply share music that artists produce, and I still don't feel comfortable involving money. However, there are times when you feel like you don't have any other choice, and you end up doing things you don't want to do. I would probably monetize the channel on YouTube at that time, but it was no longer eligible for monetization, and still today it is not monetizable due Youtube policies, which is entirely normal. Since I felt like I was ignoring an opportunity to help my family and myself, I created a page where fans and artists can support me financially. I want to emphasize that I've never charged artists for an upload, and I'll never do so.
I want to provide you with full transparency about the process. I've never shared a work that I personally dislike, even if I was offered money to share it. When artists send me their work, I listen to their music, and if I enjoy it, I share it on my channel. There is no money involved about Youtube uploads. Then, I mention my Buymeacoffee page and ask for their financial support. If they are interested, they contribute to me financially. If they are not, I still share their work on Youtube. So money doesn't affect my decision-making. However, to increase the number of members, I offer extra benefits to the artists who are interested in promoting their music on Spotify and Instagram.
Basically, I only share music I enjoy, and if the artist is able to support me financially, I share their music on other platforms as well. If they are not able to provide financial support, I share their music only on YouTube anyway. I hope my explation makes sense about the situation.
My channel is no longer just a hobby for me; it is now a job that I am passionate about. I was working as a translator for years and taking care of the channel at the same time, but I felt that it is very difficult to run both, and I don't want to give up on the channel just yet. I have decided to take a break from translations for a year and focus solely on the channel.
My only source of income right now is my Buymeacoffee page and Submithub. Hopefully, I will manage to reach a monthly amount that is enough to take care of my family and myself financially. I will give it a try and solely focus on my channel for some time. I hope I can succeed. I am open to hearing criticism, and I would understand if you don't like the process I explained. I am still not entirely comfortable with everything, but it is just life, and sometimes you can't see any other option. I'm honestly grateful for your support and I can't ask you more but if there are people who want to help me financially and contribute to my journey, here is my Buymeacoffee page: www.buymeacoffee.com/whpr
Thanks for your understanding and support,

Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that I'll be starting my military service tomorrow. It will take a month, so I'll probably come back around the first week of October. During that period, you will not see many uploads. Hopefully, I'll continue to share post-rock music once I come back.
Thanks a lot for your huge support,

Thanks a lot for thousands of amazing comments. It is unbelievable.
Hello friends, firstly I apologize from the all artists and fans that I disappoint. I just suddenly disappeared and have not answered to anybody. As some of you may realized, I've been suffering from depression for long time and last month I just wanted to take a break from everything for a while.
I'm not in Turkey right now, I'm doing volunteer work in a hostel in Macedonia. I was hoping to continue taking care of my channel here as well but internet was very slow and I just thought I need some time to focus on myself. It has been a month since I came here, everything is going well. I received some messages that worrying about my situation, I'm doing much better. Thanks to everyone who care about me. Finally, I have a better internet now and will start uploads soon. I'll try to answer all emails in the next week.
I feel guilty about just disappearing like that but it was a kind of a breakdown for me, I could not control it although I knew it was not something I wanted to. I just wanted to give this little update, thanks a lot for your understanding and friendship.

I am grateful to everyone who supported me during my difficult times. I've been feeling better and I've missed being part of the community, thanks to all the people who cared about me and sent their messages although I didn't reply back. I will try to reply to everyone as soon as I can.
Dear artists, I know none of you received a reply to your emails. I apologize for that. I'll try to reply to your emails but feel free to send me a second email if you are in a hurry. (submitwhpr@gmail.com)
Thank you so much for your continuous support,
Can
Hi all,
I hope every one of you is doing well. I feel like I need to talk with you for a while but I wasn't in a "writing mood" until tonight. You already know how much I'm grateful for the support you showed me but once again thank you so much for everything you did for me. I don't go into details but I just want to say everything would be so different and worse without your support.
The main reason I want to give this update is I feel overwhelmed for the last few weeks and it looks like I can't even enjoy listening to music or chatting with friends for a while. I'm in one of the periods when you can't enjoy the things you were enjoying most. I know that it is temporary and I'll be feeling better soon but right now I feel distant from everything for the last few days. I wanted to let you know about this because I'm not taking care of Worldhaspostrock currently. I still have many plans and ideas for the channel but I don't feel strong enough to do any of that. I apologize from the artists who sent me their music for a feature and received no reply. Also from the people who sent messages/comments.
What I'm planning is giving a few days' break to uploads and not listen to any music until I enjoy sharing/listening to music as before. I know that I'll recover soon and will try to provide you with some good post-rock music! I hope all my explanations make sense. Again, your support means a lot to me and thanks a lot again for your amazing support.
