For a little more than a month now I've been back to work on a "new normal" basis, getting caught up on reviews and figuring out how to most comfortably & efficiently work in the all-new studio. Viewer reaction to the new format has been shockingly positive. I, myself, have felt perfectly comfortable being in front of the camera again, though I do yet need to work on physical access to review subjects from behind the filming rig when doing the traditional close-up shots.I've been marking new videos honestly as "not for kids" and YouTube hasn't overridden this choice on any of them as yet, though I still don't know if I'm completely in the clear as COPPA settlement enforcement actions have not begun to date, to my knowledge. I remain unfortunately confident that I need to leave most of my previous 10 years of work marked "for kids" forever, though,...

Their net profit increased 3% even though the company made investments in long-term growth initiatives. The top selling themes in no particular order for 2019 were LEGO City, LEGO Creator, LEGO Friends, LEGO Technic, LEGO Classic, and LEGO Star Wars.
