FEATURED POST

Date: 6-4-2026 A New Haunt: We’re Moving! 👻 To my amazing subscribers, followers, and guests: For a long time, this little corner of Blogger has been our home. We’ve shared stories, ideas, and conversations here, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has tuned in. But as this community grows, it's time for our digital space to evolve, too. Shortly, we will be packing up and migrating operations to a brand-new, independent server. Our new home runs on a platform called "Ghost" —and honestly, the name couldn't be more apropos. Why? We’re vanishing from the snoopy old machine: We are breaking free from the increasingly rigid walls of big-tech social media platforms and fading away from their algorithms. We'll be haunting a new space: We're setting up shop on a server we completely control. Same voice, same content, just a much cooler new mansion to roam around in. The spirit remains the same: The look might get a sleek, modern upgrade, but the soul of what we do here isn't changing. What this means for you: If you’re a follower of my official Twisted Read Horror website: I am handling the heavy lifting. Your newsletter subscription should seamlessly transfer over to the new system, so you won't miss a beat (or a post). If you’re a regular guest: Keep an eye out for a final announcement here with our shiny new URL. Bookmark it as soon as it drops! There might be a brief moment of radio silence while the digital dust settles and the servers sync up, but we will see you on the other side very soon. Thank you for being part of this journey. The next chapter is going to be spectacular. Stay tuned, Magic Art -AKA- Twisted Read Horror -AKA- Lorne Bennett

Welcome

NON FICTION: Creator Attorney Tyler Chou: Build a Business, Not a Channel -

 You're a tenant, not an owner: what every creator needs to know right now (Based on a Think Media Podcast conversation with creator attorney Tyler Chou) If you're building your entire creative business on YouTube — or any platform — you're building on rented land. That's not a metaphor. It's a legal and practical reality, and creator attorney Tyler Chou wants every YouTuber to internalize it before it costs them everything they've built. In a wide-ranging conversation on the Think Media Podcast, Chou laid out the legal and business landscape facing creators in 2026. The picture is sobering in places, but there's a clear path forward for those willing to think like business owners rather than content makers. The platform is not your friend — or your landlord YouTube terminated 12.4 million channels in the last nine months of 2025 alone. It's using AI to detect policy violations, and that AI makes mistakes — flagging original animation as AI slop, demonet...
