As usual enjoyed this vlog and I learned something. 

I agree that they are a lot of work but I disagree with your comment that your Vlog is no longer needed. Here are some points to keep in mind.

**1.)** You will likely be doing the research and reading necessary for the vlog anyway.

**2.)** You have built up a following (I'm addicted) that relies on you for the latest news and information. We need a reliable source!

**3.)** You say that you are earning less on these vlogs than on the lifestyle ones. I noticed the drop when you moved from DTube to DLive and I assumed that you made the move to help boost the profile of DLive.

I would gladly "pay" for your research by changing my vote on your Vlogs to 100% from my various accounts which I'll do starting with this one. Others likely feel the same way.

**4.)**With the inception of SMT's you'll have more information than ever to draw your inspiration from.

**In Summary:** Have a great trip to Brazil, take a break and come back stronger than ever with your great vlogs!
