Feel free to share this video or parts of it if you would like, but of course please give credit.

The Transition Slides I made were heavily inspired by the ones in Loopine's video    • Creator Toxicity and Gaslighting in Fromso...  . Really good video and analysis of toxic behavior, which was incredibly informative.
