I decided I need to try to raise money to continue to work on #channelsurfer. This is not a thing I can bootstrap. Taking on YouTube is impossible at this point without a mountain of cash. Going to look for a co-founder and apply to YC. Fuck it.

Added way better logging to the logs so I can better debug issues. I went a bit crazy but I think it will be worth it. #channelsurfer
