00:02:17.910 --> 00:02:20.870 You can vote in the on-screen YouTube card poll if you’d like. 00:02:20.870 --> 00:02:25.420 If you plan to vote for the top videos of January, you’ll have to do so before February 00:02:25.420 --> 00:02:26.740 8th 2017. 00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:28.980 Which is probably past by now. 00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:33.560 Normally a voting video like this will self-destruct after the voting period, but since this doubles 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.640 as an announcement video I’ll probably just leave it up. 00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:36.640 Thanks for watching! 00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:40.460 Stay tuned for the top ten videos of January, as well as the usual videos from me. 00:02:40.469 --> 00:02:42.900 Thanks again to Jhaller for this opportunity. 00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:43.920 See ya next time!
