He added:

"Post it on Reddit, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, Twitter, Twitch, whatever is the place that feels right to you. Ideally, you'd post it on June 1, but it could be whenever. I am making a video saying essentially this, but I've been delayed in getting it out, so I wanted to post here to be the vanguard of the idea."
