When I first started watching Asmon he was just starting to get a following and someone asked him "how much do you make?". Amson said something like "I go to the store and I swipe for some soda and it works and that makes me happy". Respect.

To me, a guy who doesn't know any of these people, the sentence "The last thing i remember was that Kwebblekop was playing minecraft with Jelly and Slogoman in Robust Town." is quite the fever dream of a sentence.

Let's be real, many of us watching this had no idea who Kwebblekop was beforehand.

I don't like a lot of the games asmond plays but I like him so much as a person I still drop in every now and then it's hard to find genuine people on the internet

Next SunnyV2 video "The downfall of Asmongolds hair"

"Kwebbelkop" is Dutch, and it roughly translates to "blabberhead", with the word as a term meaning someone who just doesn't stop talking.

Man, Asmongolds comment on creativity, and changing one’s content because you don’t enjoy what you’re doing sometimes, is so spot on. The example of the mount offs and how he may be tired of them, but continues to do them because he’s “selling a product” and the purchasers enjoy that product so he gives them what they want….that’s such a mature, adult way of looking at things. I agree whole heartedly. Of course, chase your dreams and don’t live a life where you don’t enjoy what you do, but sometimes (in the real world) you may not fully enjoy a task at work, or your boss might piss u off, but you buckle up and get the fucking job done because it’s gotta be done. Love your take on this bro, couldn’t agree more and I hope people grow up and realize that sometimes you just gotta do what u gotta do. That’s the real world

I’m a 42yo woman who’s not interested in gaming at all, but I really enjoy your content and commentary. Keep on doing what you do, and best wishes with the dental work (my mom was a hygienist for 38 years, so I’m intimately familiar with how expensive it can be and how quickly).

Learning that Kwebbelkop decided to become a V-Tuber was the biggest revelation I had with this video lmao

For someone living such a simple life, asmongold has super unique and insightful commentary. Really it's the only reason I watch his vids.

From this video i get the inpression that when his girlfriend broke up he just went down the rabbit hole on a selfdestructive rampage pulling in other ppl as well, its always a shame to see that happen to people. Him bragging over his expensive stuff is just the final nail in his coffin.

This is why your channel hooked me up so fast in terms of how much of different types of treatments you have towards this industry. Never have I ever knew I'd watch Asmon to learn way much more things than what I learned from 12 years of ele-mid-high schools LOL. You even made myself understand more competitive english and the language itself really became more comfortable since I won't understand shit if I didn't know what you were talking about. Couple years ago I'd only watch contents that was for Koreans and bro, I'm so thankful that you opened me up the US contents that I was missing out during my entire life lol. Always wish you the best Asmon :)

The quote of "Roman Emperor Cicero", who ruled "4 000 years ago" made me chuckle a bit. Asmon has realy damn good memory but quite selective one.

That’s so true, only kids would watch someone bragging about money

I think one of the exceptions to the cringe YTber groups was Sean/Jack (Jacksepticeye), Mark (Markiplier), Bob (Muyskerm), and Wade (LordMinion777). They were all genuinely good friends and have been for almost a decade by now. They were genuinely entertaining to watch and did all sorts of games together. Real nostalgic to watch them do some more content again recently, good laughs.

I'm here for the authenticity. I play WoW, but I watch all of your videos because of your genuine character. It's hard to find that on KZfaq nowadays. 👍

True. I have never played WoW before. I only played Warcraft in the past and then went to dota but I have to say, the transmog competition is one of the best Asmon content.

Honestly I'd say for streamers and entertainers in general (especially with the Advent of the internet) the problem about someone's bragging about how much money they make is the situation for me in particular where I go okay good for you there's someone else who makes less money who I also like, I'll just donate to them instead

i love your selfdescription also that you stand for what you say and do and that you admit to it without being ashamed! you are a legend and probably one of very few straight forward entertainers i know. The mighty jingles is the other one who just does not give a damn.

Thanks for the videos. I never watched you much before last month but Holy moly just a genuinely chill and mostly fair opinion I tend to agree with or at least understand

Every time asmon talks about content creation it’s like he it’s like he is telling himself everything he need to know or has learned to solidify in his brain to make his shit better and I love the content that comes out because of it

I've got so much respect for the way you word things. Not generally a fan of what you play, but I like your honest point of view. I might disagree with what you say sometimes, but you always speak your mind with reasoning and conviction. Thanks for the vids @Asmongold

The way you explain things is amazing. Wish I could be as articulate as you

Depression can really wreck you. I feel for him.

23:30 is some immense wisdom for anyone wanting to get into content creation. I am extremely grateful for hearing that Asmon.

Haven't played a video game for twenty years but was recommended Asmongold during the Turd Vs Depp trial and for some reason kept checking his reaction videos

for the most part, i dont really watch u that much asmondgold since im from the same eras of gaming with blizzard and at first i didnt get impression of u way back in the day BUT ur content now is quite creative and when u have the stance and opinion on the things u do now, i find it interesting because u challenge actual real societal issues within and outside gaming as well. to be honest i respect ur grind and i can see uve really come a long way as a content creator. which is why u have my sub, my attention and my time. ur awesome man! keep up the great content!

22:17 lol this hits hard lol.. I'm basically camping the zone for that unicorn head as I'm watching this video lol...

45:14 Gronkh became one of the most well known German youtubers playing Minecraft since 2010 and kids were still watching him play that when he hit 40.

Asmon you literally are my favorite youtuber keep the videos coming!!!!

Im too old for twitch (not my era), but i watch here and there hes videos. This is one of the best videos up there, hes honest af. Like the approach to things he does, more like businnes men, then like an 'artist'

I don't watch Asmon as much as I use to. Life and shit, growing up, I don't genuinely follow ANY streamers being the boomer that I am but Asmon was one of the few that I watched back in his wow days when he was genuinely just another one of us lol. Even nowadays I don't always agree with what he says but you need to hand it to him that he knows how to provide entertainment. To think a humble wow streamer can become someone who almost EVERYONE would chime in to watch JUST for him it incredible. So props to you my man. Even if you were to brag about your wealth I'd just be here saying POGGERS. You deserve it.

"Give the ppl what they want" is probably the best advice you could give any content creator. Yeah, it's a process to find out what you can give the ppl that they like but once you do why would you throw all of it away by doing a full 180?

Everytime I see someone refer to a 100k+ sub channel as a "small creator", I die inside a little. 🤣

he never stops to entertain me fun part was about the ''i gonna steal ideas and use it as if they my own we all stand on giants shoulders;' totally loved it kekw

Thanks Asmon for the content, love the streams and videos!

We never have to worry about this with Asmon. This man stays humble.

this is why asmon is the best react channel 50 min reaction for a 15 min video not just sitting in the corner going uh huh

32:23 That actually resembles the back of Franklin's house you buy at Vinewood hills in GTA 5

I never watched your other channel I found this more down to life and I learn about other things and other KZfaq people who I've liked and watch like darksouls I didn't know about catalyst and watched you talk about his ds speedrun and then I watched his channel for ds1 content and still comeback to listen To you. I like this channel for your honesty I would say or maybe it's you just saying what your feeling in moment

couch psychology: he saw that collabs were his peak and so is hooked on the idea that collabs are what made him, so he collabs with tiger, shit goes wrong and his prevailing view of having to collab to maintain relevance made his tiny think that collabing with a fake ai is the same thing as collabing with a person parasocial thoughts over.

I would love to see Asmon do a poll on YT to count men, women & diverse viewers :D I don't think that there are so few women watching him, being one myself I do enjoy his insights a lot !

I almost watched this myself yesterday, but I decided to wait until Asmon reacted to it. Didn't have to wait long!

On the topic of why a lot of people like you (what I believe) is that your personality and mentality online is at a very specific combination of being morally just, unbiased but absolutely and most importantly it’s coupled with your ability to humble yourself in a relatable way. I think those are qualities of good leadership so you have people willing to listen to what you have to say.

i wouldn't mind the fraction of those viewers honestly.. just keep grinding

I respect asmon for being truthful so inspiring not gonna lie

I watch KZfaq and Twitch alot, and the content can just also be that I can listing to and interact and react myself in my own dorm. Then the support, donation and buy merch is for what I find value in ppl giving alot to do something to get money to live. While life its making creator a living hell.

LOL you crack me up dude, good stuff!

sypher pk was always deserving of a large following. i started to watch him b4 he popped off, in for honor he was a monster!

Lol I was just thinking about all the old youtubers I used to watch who said they would do youtube forever, and cut to now with their dead KZfaq Channels

Creativity is remembering what you saw and forgetting where you had seen it. Best quote from my design lecturers, still remember it after 20 yrs. Point being nothing is original and everything is inspired, using others ideas to improve your own is just smart so long as you're not infringing on their work.

Interesting video. I remember finding that Kwebbelkop guy's channel at some point and skimmed through a handful of videos, and while none of them were bragging about money in particular - that I can recall - I do remember getting a strong feeling of just "something's off about him". I guess that was it and I'm just happy I haven't wasted more of my time to "see" what it was about at the time.

Your content is just being you and i love you for it. Though starting your stream from a helicopter, landing it in your mums garden to go into the attic to stream would be amazing. You don't need to do it, but its now what i imagine.

35:42 Don't know if you watch LEMMINO videos but his uploads in like 5 months or more and has so many views because of the quality of his contents. 😊 Edit: 35:51 just saw a LEMMINO comment 😄

I saw this in my feed before the actual video. Nice.

8:14 This made me so sad because I remember watching Ssundee and Crainer do stuff together all the time a while back. SkyFactory, CrazyCraft, the Lucky Block series, their original Pixelmon series with CaptainSparklez, Golden Cobblestone, and so on. They just... stopped. It was so sad to me because I really enjoyed watching their videos. Ssundee went and became an Among Us mod guy. That's all his videos are now. Crainer does more vlogging and stuff for even younger audiences now, so he's no fun either. :(

Ayo i remember kwebelkop and the guy with green avatar back in the day.. i wonder what happen to them

Asmon!! I love your content and your insight. Thank you for creating awesome moments and experiences. Your videos have sparked interesting conversations within myself as well as with other people. With that being said, please bring back DnD! I know I’m not the only one waiting for season 2!

Hm, asmo's advice to treat work as work off-camera and hobby on-camera might be applicable in mine too. I'm a teacher and when I'm not facing students or peers I think of how these shits benefits me but when I'm in class/ prepping works/ socializing with other lecturers I'm doin what I like, I like talking about theories and write about things I'm curious about and to some degree I like making sure things entrusted to me are sufficiently tidy. Yeah, I think that's a good way to manage stress/worries. Thanks asmo!

SypherPK used to be a Elder Scrolls Online PvP streamer/build maker though. He already had a sizeable following long before he moved onto Fortnite. He didn't pop off because he was lucky, he popped off because he had a massive head start and his community supported the change of content. Fortnite didn't kickstart his success, it only bolstered it. He was fairly successful long before that.

Honestly youre not lucky Asmon, youre an incredibly unique streamer and just a very intelligent and relatable person who expresses their thoughts in a way that is easy to understand. Literally everyone in the world has something they can draw parallels with while watching you. Thats why youll always be the GOAT!!

never ever heard or have seen a single second of this dude

“I ended up getting into depression.” With a big old grin on his face.

I haven't been able to see the streams lately is mcconnell still active in the stream? Haven't heard him on the KZfaq channel as of late.

People aren’t dumb they know when someone is not being authentic all the best KZfaqrs show you their real personality and it resonates doesn’t matter if you live with your mum or have a mansion it’s your content that counts most of the ppl I watch sit in a room with a microphone and a camera the real work happen long before the video with sourcing information and editing your video and you probably have to employ someone to help if you want to produce quality content regularly

Zach, I’m in the same situation. I have no teeth, haven’t eaten solid foods since October, 2015, and my wife and I are looking into getting me dental implants, *IF* a financial solution comes through for us. Love your channel, you have a better grasp of the way things are at your age, whatever that is, than I do at mine, (62)…. Keep the Faith, Brother.

I watched asmond from like 2014, he didn’t changed abit (except malding). And I love it.

When I first started watching this dude he did. GTA v videos and I freaking love them. I watched them all the time and then I stopped watching him and didn't realize he went on all these different games and then all this happened. What a mind blow.

Asmon is never dishonest

Asmon is literally the only streamer or content creator that I actually believe is not into KZfaq solely for the money. He's the only one. Ever. On the planet.

This is probably the best video of yours I've seen so far

Oh man, Asmong reacting to a Sunny video about him would be great content

Asmon says “NWA” Random ass viewer: “say it”. 💀🤣

When you have a girlfriend you can’t bring random girls on your stream? Someone needs too tell Mizkif

46:23 Damm it man that is exactlly right , spot on 😅

The thought speech at 18 mins or so and on was well spoken and articulated.

didnt even know who this youtuber was lol

One of the best content creators I have seen so far. I would love to see him getting married, having kids, playing Riot's MMO with his kids in the next decade.

12:20 The prime example for asmons point isn't really the amongus meta but VanossGaming that channel wouldn't exist without his massive friendgroup

In the background of the first video shown here, he actually has the book "Rules of Play" on his shelf. This is very, very often optained by people going into the game design world. Or just people who want to understand why we, as humans, play and how you could optimize for it. Therefore it does not surprise me that he tries to start up his own game company later on. It might have "fractured his focus", but i cant help but think it was a goal for a while before that?

Asmondgold is by far the very best streamer on the internet.

Kwebbelkop's last major twitter thread...was pushing an NFT

Cicero was born in Arpino. My grandparents were born there, cool statue of him and a well-preserved section of Roman road in the town square.

It'll be a very very very long time before SunnyV2 gets to publish a video about Asmon's downfall. But I won't be surprised if he already has a video essay ready and waiting for a quick edit and upload

So basically he got tired of keeping up his facade, and people didn’t like the real him.

I used to watch the trio with Jelly and Slogoman. To be honest i always found Kbebbelkop a bit... forced / cringe. i could not stand his overeactions. He was always over dramatic over every single stuff. Maybe this attitude is what ended up damaging all his relationships, and the one with himself as well. Edit: Seeing how he acts in videos nowadays, he extremely tryhards, feels out of character and you can see he is not enjoying making his videos.

Love your commentary ❤

"im looking at it on the screen and still cant spell it" hahaha so fucking funny

“We all stand on the shoulders of giants” No truer statement has ever been said

Kwebelkop coached mr beast right? So he's pretty good i guess

26:00 Waiting for a hot tube stream!! lol

37:36 Boy swingin SHMEAT

This video really opened my eyes. I never would have imagined that there's some dutch guy calling himself kwebbelsomething doing stuff on the internet. Amazing!

I get the sort of vibe from this guy that hes the type that probably wouldnt give a dollar to anybody out there. Or even like a piece of food or something lol.

I didn’t know you have another channel

We love you my dude always keep it going

asmon could go into a luxury store and buy everything in there but they will kick him out for looking homeless, thats the millionair i like lol

Ansmon, I don't speak for everyone. I personally don't care what you play man. You are just always entertaining l, regardless of the game or if your just talking. You have a gamers insight and it's always an enjoyable conversation with you and the audience.

Regarding the Among Us meta, that probably explains why Kaif and his group the Salt Raiders did not benefit from the amogus boost despite having gone ham on the game half a year before Sodapoppin is that they stayed within the group and didn’t branch out much, barring a few guests and two 5up appearances

Pride cometh before the fall is another way to phrase that quote.
