HAAAAPPYYYYY WHEEEEELLSSSS!!!

exactly what he was talking about pal

he has stated in some vids where he just cant reach that level anymore,the guy does have health issues so it wouldent really be benificial for him to keep doing that,its also due to age too

He’s older now I can see why he stopped probably because it hurts his voice and there’s no need for it he can just be himself.

Not even just his viewers his statement can truthfully apply to all nostalgics

Absolutely! The nostalgia hits hard but I feel like his 2017/18 content was prime (at least for me). His recent videos are kinda eh... I personally dont like the random scary games and reaction videos he does nowadays so whenever I watch him I always watch one of his older series. Also yeah, it feels like his energy and personality (to some extent) changed. At the same time I'm glad he is in a better place mentally.

@@gamingtv2841for me his 2014-2016 content was prime. Subbed to him back during his skate 3 playthrough. Idk why i just kinda liked his just having fun vibes. His green hair stage was the worst bc he was clearly forcing himself to continue to act the same way, when that just wasn't him anymore and i could tell it was forced. Ever since he came back to reality around 2021 when he had his viking hair he's become fun and genuine again.

Har🐻

​@@gamingtv2841 yeah i've been watching his podcast and it's just that now he has so many new issues as well, i'm starting to understand why he changed. adhd and autism symptoms, health issues such as migraines that give him afasia, being depressed about his family situation (obviously dad's death but also in his own words "didn't visit family for christmas cause he doesn't like them), he lives far from a lot of his friends, and also he's admitted that over the years he's lost confidence in himself due to various reasons, some of which are youtube-related and probably related to other creator(s) since he said he can never talk about them publicly. doesn't mean i don't miss the energy and confidence on him though, i wish him all the best on his journey of finding himself again

as a grown man well, I missed those good days

it is tho. people change and some can not accept it so they say they miss the old (you) etc…i guess an example would be scrim from the suicideboys. hella people are saying they miss how he used to rap and the way his voice was, but they dont give two flying fucks that he was off basically every drug in the book back then so they are flat out saying they miss the fucked up depressed and suicidal scrim:/

@@morganb673 I thought the same thing about Joji/Filthy Frank, from what you can tell it seems like he's doing better but instead of being happy for him some fans hate on him because they miss the old videos, which I understand but if we're honest what Sean said here is probably a big reason why we miss them so much. People grow, things change and we need to accept that

@@letizialorusso1950 Thing with Filthy Frank is Joji always wanted to make music and felt it was time to end Filthy Frank. He wasn't really forced to do it like some say. If he hated it he would've stopped a long time ago. He made music as Filthy Frank, so it's not out of left field. Also, honestly, I feel it's mostly immature edge lords who want him back. As funnt as some of those vids are, I personally don't mind the channel being over. The vids are still there after all.

He's clearly joking at the end.

Yeah, and genuine. It was almost not edited at all.

Wow, I like his older content for sure but the new content just feels like he and his channel grew up just like me. Was in school when I started watching and now I'm in the last year of my college. He changed and so did I. His content matured and so did his audience with him.

@@rvvinayak2243 Get what you mean but I don’t get how you get that feeling from Sean’s channel. The editing and the humour…? And he had so much stronger morals before too. No it just feels like a completely different person’s channel.

@@jaybeanzx yeah I see myself as a completely different person compared to 10-13 years ago. I like Sean and Felix's new type of content, not much editing and just their chill vibe. I guess I'm an exception?

@@rvvinayak2243 What? Since Sean hired an editor his videos are quite edited. In the past they were almost not edited at all. Did I misunderstand you or wdym?

Never before have I been so offended by something I completely agree with

Not really ._. After a good long look in hindsight, I can definitely say that I do miss the old Anthony and it has nothing to do with my feelings. With Sean? I mean maybe, but I guess it also had to do with the fact that he was playing more games that I like back then. But no this video isn’t correct

@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 I think it hits home for many people. Of course it isn't going to be the case for everyone (like you) but the main reason I believe he's right is because of the age of his fans complaining. A lot of fans started watching him nearly a decade ago when they were 11 or 12. Now they're in adult life and is finding out that watching certain youtubers aren't as exciting as it was when they were younger. It's kind of like being excited for Christmas when you were a child but now you don't feel the "magic" anymore. I somewhat feel the same. I loved jacks older videos when they came out but looking back, they weren't as well made as they are now and I'm just looking back fondly.

@@adonaiyah2196 yeah. I feel like people needed to hear that for those who still cling to the old times. Thankful that i got out of that bubble right before college too.

And he should've. Here's why. I was raised without a dad. I was raised by my mom, grandma, grandpa, and aunt in a house where everyone was constantly screaming, sometimes people threw things at me, and I was hospitalized for aggression and self-harm at the age of 12. I suffered from acute PTSD from that hospitalization, and, little did I know it at the time, but I was suffering from CPTSD from all of the screaming and fighting I'd witnessed. I escaped through video games, roleplaying, and talking to the very few people who I ever could've called "friend". It was fine at the time. It was fine because it always is when that's what you're used to. I was happy then, when I was younger, because I was innocent. I was happy. I grew up, and I started to feel the consequences of actions not just my own, but of my family and my state as well. I realized that everyone around me was happy, my family was happy... and if they weren't happy, they were at least not suffering as much as I was. I felt rage. I was so upset that they'd traumatized me permanently and just left me to suffer. Break out of that cycle. Don't let the past define you, and, regardless of severity (having full-blown flashbacks and dissociative episodes or just feeling sad for a few weeks), DO NOT sweep it all under the rug and dismiss your feelings as unimportant. Learn to break out of cycles now... no, it won't prepare you in the case that you witness something that traumatizes you forever, but it might make you happier of a person.

"This video hurt me emotionally"

“infringes my rights”

"broke my heart physically and emotionally"

"Told the truth too hard."

"emotionally assaulted me"

Me too! It’s crazy how we outgrow things in real time and don’t even realize it.

Same thing here. I was 14 years old when I discovered Jacksepticeye, in 2013. Life was so easy during that time, no major responsibilities and I still lived with my parents. Now I'm a 23 year old engineering student, living alone in a different city and dealing with a lot of stress. But I'm going to be completely honest, I prefer the "new" and more calm Jacksepticeye. I feel like Séan screamed a lot more in his older videos, which I didn't really like. So with that being said, I was never a big fan of him at first. It's actually much later when I started to appreciate Séan's content.

Eh see I go back and forth on that one. I think they lost a lot of the people that made the content enjoyable. In general I agree with his point but this is one case I don't think I do. That said I don't complain they get to do their thing and it's just fine.

@@NoThankUBeQuiet It's not 100% for sure. Losing Ross, Barry and most of the cast really hurt the channel. Plus, you can feel that energy they had for the first few years. Where it was a new exciting thing.

Pre-2017 i was in the worst place possible. Everyone talks about 2013-17 like it was a magical time but it was shit for me

As someone who has only watched game grumps for the last year I haven’t entirely understood the “they have gotten worse thing”. I fully believe people have just changed while the game grumps have stayed exactly the same for a long time, I go between 2014 and 2022 episodes and they feel like the exact same thing besides for the length of the videos and the quality of the mics.

I love to go back and watch theor old and dumb one-off series like Kendo Rage for this reason. I'm in a much better place now, mentally and such, but the feeling of not having all the added responsibilities makes rewatching a wonderful time. My favorite series is Ross and Dan playing Kings Quest 6

And that’s okay. *sniff*

But it must have some bright side too, try to find that and overcome difficulties, pursue your goals and enjoy the life💪🏻

It doesn't suck... Please get rid of that mindset. You're free to choose whatever you want now so create a good life for yourself

​@@rockyblumbleHonestly? They say mindset is not everything. But as someone who was really self-destructive, hated everyone and everything, couldn't enjoy anything at all... It's this change in mindset that sometimes it's just about how I think about things. I realized that I don't need to have any opinion about anything. I'm free to do whatever I want. And if that's the case, then I'd choose the perspectives that can make me love life as much as possible, while also staying realistic of course. Sometimes I'd still feel bad, but that's life. I don't have to self-sabotage just because of that. Maybe it's just because I haven't been taking care of myself enough (not sleeping well, not eating well, not working out, etc.) or because I procrastinate or something. If so, then I'm going to do my best to take care of that then just move on. Because life is all about learning to move forward and learning to acknowledge your role in life. Imo anyway. So I'd put my energy on the things I know I have control over and accept that I really need to do my honest best in there so I can live the best possible good life I can get for myself. That's really just it. I just need to hold to my standards in every moment (even after experiencing failures, I don't need to give up this moment) and remember that my actual needs are small, and that a little discomfort over disciplining myself won't unalive me. This is just what we do now.

I got passionate about this topic here 😅 I put this here because I hope it can help someone even for a bit. I feel like social media these days loves to give messages that convey hopelessness. There are definitely some things that are out of our control, but putting all the focus on that makes us forget all the other things that are in our control. And it makes me so sad to see this on other people. So yeah... This is me hoping that I can help other people realize they have so much power over their life, even when life constantly throws curveballs at them. There are definitely painful things out there, but no one can take away from you what you do in this moment so you can contrast that bad thing you're experiencing with good things. Good luck!

and to kinda add to this, it's a lot harder going back and watching those videos from early Jack days, not because you didn't enjoy those videos at one point, you did, you've just grown out of what you used to like, and that's a good thing. It's like going back and reading your old Facebook posts or something. Current you cringes, past you was like "bro I'm so rad posting my chemical romance lyrics at 3am 8)"

Beautifully said ❤

Some of yall are way too in your feelings. Go get some anti depressants. Meet a girl who actually wants to be around you. You'll be fine.

It really doesn't though.. :/

The problem for me is that, for my first love (that I can remember**), I only realised it when I felt the hurt and the loss. I knew a lot of children 'dated' and stuff, and I watched a lot of PG movies/dramas a lot as a kid, but I just never rly associated myself with the feeling of love?? (Honestly, a part of me still doesn't rly know whether it was actually love) So for me, it's more like the opposite: my first love never died because I knew how much it started to hurt;; that mixed with a lot of regret about what I could've done with my friends but didn't.....I feel like it rly messed me up - esp. since, I was given a false sense of hope, I was told I had a choice in the decision when it didn't even matter, I had to move. As much as I do love some of the experiences and ppl after moving, I would give all that away just to have a chance to stay, maybe just a little longer (like I asked, maybe until the end of the yr) ** Apparently I said I wanted to marry someone when I was even younger, and I am the only one who doesn't remember that or the feelings attached to it; And tbh, I think it's more like looking up to an older person (parent/sibling) and saying that (y'know what I mean right?);; More meaning was probably put into it because we weren't related -- kinda don't know why I looked up to him, but that's probably because he kinda bullied me (it was light teasing/bullying, that I exaggerated in my head, but I swear I heard him admitting to bullying me last yr)

You cant experience things the way you did in the past, but you are at least able to experience things the way only the you of the present can. Welcome to life, one day you will say goodbye, so have fun while it lasts.

It has nothing to dl with that, it’s because back then they were all NEW. You can’t go back and watch something for the first time again when you know every joke that’s coming. He’s pissing off every commentor that says he’s washed because he knows it’s true. We’re old, but so is he!

Exactly I was just watching his Walking Dead and Sims videos agin and enjoyed them todays Jack is just well different

nah cause watching his old stuff also gives a taste of the feeling you had when you were a child just like when you see childhood toys or your old cartoons, it was probably crap but it reminds you and brings you back to simpler times. So youre still missing how you felt!!

@@waynesimmons2 You're talking about nostalgia and I don't agree with you. i understand how you came to that conclusion though. What if there is old content we never got around to watching? We go back to it later once we have time. That can't be nostalgia because we hadn't watched the series before, but we know the person playing it. The person playing it back then vs. now is what feels different. The same person can upload the same content in different time periods and get different results

you guys have to understand it’s been years. he’s been on youtube for over a decade now, he’s gonna change alongside his content because he’s a human being. it doesn’t mean he doesn’t give a shit anymore, it just means that he’s also changing alongside us like humans do. some people don’t like that, and that’s fine, but i personally don’t mind his modern day content.

@@saranlinx9301 I never said there was anything wrong with his current content. It's just not for me. My whole point was that people do change, but content doesn't (unless he goes back and edits or deletes the videos.). the way he phrased his statement in this video makes it seem like it does. I was only pointing out we can still enjoy things from the past without enjoying how we felt about it in the past. :)

Exactly. That's why he is TRO lmao

So you’re basing your argument that KZfaqrs from when they posted good content only made good content because of the quality of their equipment?

better quality equipment =/= better content... a lot of the time, way better production value makes it worse, because it feels more detached and less personal.
