Think of this as me asking y'all if I can return to OG form. Could get to a point where y'all get semi-daily uploads of runs or FCs and the videos are anywhere between 3-4 mins or so! All from official Guitar Hero/Rock Band games and Clone Hero/YARG streams. Like seriously I have MONTHS worth of content if you guys are cool with it! Thank you everyone ALWAYS for your support!

i hope matpat retiring and tom taking a break makes more people realize that taking a step back or re-centering is okay. been watching for almost 10 years. love u dawg

This hits so hard. Appreciate you, bro 🙏

As long as you’re still here, I don’t mind Just don’t leave us here man, we love you

you’ve been giving us your all for all these years and have been (imo) the greatest rhythm gaming creator our community has ever seen. No matter what platform you’re on, we’re here for you! having fun and laughing alongside you no matter what. no matter what we’ll support whatever you choose brotha, we love ya forever

What in the world is going on? Jeez. That's unfortunate, but also have no choice but to respect it. Gotta do what's right for you. You got this, man. Been a silent fan for years. Rootin' for you.

As long as the mashups are still posted, thats i all i really care about. It should be easy to do since they require very minimal editing

i saw the title and i said “not another one”

So basically: More focus on streaming, less KZfaq videos. I’m fine with that, dunno about everyone else, but as long as you’re personally satisfied with what you’re doing in regards to content creation - I’m good.

Brother you almost gave me a heart attack, but everything you’ve said here is extremely valid and you deserve to find success anywhere and everywhere. I’m obviously with you wherever the system takes you and your content. Whether it becomes that classic song by song uploads again or if longer project vids stick around, I speak for myself as a viewer and say the outcome I prefer is the one that benefits you the most. Now obviously I’m one of the mashup making homies so I’d love to keep seeing you showcase content like that, but the last thing I want is for things to become taxing for you when it’s just not financially worth it. You deserve the happiest outcome of this, you’re the homie. ❤️

Completely understand Alec. I would do whatever is easiest for you. All i really care about is seeing you shred and laugh your ass off while doing it. While it does seem like all the big youtubers are going away, let's face it, times have changed. KZfaq kinda sucks now, new generation enjoying different things, and you have a kid! I can't imagine the amount of work and effort you put into all these videos while taking care of your family. You deserve everything, and I hope you keep living your best life ❤el horso for life

I won't lie, me personally I've pretty much always been here for the mashups/meme charts. It's just so nice to have a centralized place for discovery, to see your reactions and how emotional some of them get you, it's awesome. I've never been one for watching livestreams so I'd hate to lose out on that. But at the end of the day you gotta do what you gotta do for your family man. We support you

For me, I don't mind the minimal edits, I just love seeing your reactions to mashup albums and other random great one-off songs. I don't necessarily have time to watch multiple hours of streaming content to find the great moments, so if there's something you or your audience thinks needs to be seen by more people, slap that section of the vod up on youtube and I'll eat it up. Keep doing what you think is best, don't feel pressured by the expectations of this hellish platform.

Do whats right for you man, well be here to support you in any way possible no matter what platform, as long as your happy, were happy. Your contact is amazing, and the streams/chatting. Mad respect for taking the time to let us know whats happening💪🤙

You inspired me so much to the point that I started playing Guitar Hero and now I’m popular at school because of you. Thank you Alec. Wouldn’t be where I’m at without your videos to keep me motivated when life gets tough. You’re the best.

The minimally edited stuff is the kind of stuff I like to watch with gaming content, for example I’ve listened to a lot of full mashup albums just cause of your uploads

You provide a great community for finding new artists, whether mashup or original, and I will always keep coming back for it. Do what you need to, I'm sure we'll all be here for you.

Referring to the shifting circumstances around your actual job as "the meta" is at once brilliant and dystopic.

Mad Respect for you editing your own Vids

Whatever works best for you, we'll always be here anyway ❤

i know the struggle, can relate. keep doing whatever makes you happy! we'll be supporting ya

Honestly man, if you went back to your old style of video making, we probably wouldn't mind. Your old content (2018-2020) got me both into your channel and Guitar Hero in general, and I have sorta missed that era. Just do what you feel like doing, and just know we're here to support you man. ❤

Wish the best for ya man, been watching all the streams and found them really entertaining. Whatever makes you happy do it man we all support you.

It is very refreshing seeing KZfaqrs have a serious talk to their community about what they should do moving forward and imo, no matter what you do for the future of your content Alec, I will always watch what you create. I have been tuning into the streams a lot more and the vibes are absolutely amazing so I support the “less uploads, more streaming” mindset that you explained in the video. Keep up the great work!

I've been so grateful to not only follow you for almost 10 years, but actually meet you. Crazy to think that. The landscape definitely changed. I am all for doing things differently. You gotta adapt to the way things are these days. I get it. You'll definitely won't lose my support. Much love to ya Alec!

Oh, basically what Jerma did in 2016 or so. Way more focus on livestreaming vs youtube videos

Much love as always brotha. Always gonna be here!

A quote I've always loved "If you try to fit in you'll disappear". You have been making amazing content for a really long time my dude. I say, try and fight the norms a bit. Keep strong with streaming to both YT and Twitch for sure but make smaller videos that you enjoy more. Do what makes you happy man! You'll keep killin' it just like you've always been! Also happy early birthday Rosie! :D

I feel the same way about this as I do with any other creative. You're the one doing the creating, so create what and how you want. I've been subbed on KZfaq and Twitch for years, and fans like me old, current, and new are most excited when you're doing what you're passionate about. Find the outlets that let you do what you want! We're rooting for you.

I always preferred those videos. Thanks for the update. Stay cool

i started watching your youtube channel from your silly clips from twitch like through the fire and flames 160% or something, and honestly am so proud of how far you've come since then. loved watching those clips and honestly would be satisfied with them to be this day. you do you man

Love your videos! I mostly watch for your reactions to mashups or funny songs so i'm happy as long as you enjoy making stuff.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for FC'ing my youtube experience all these years! Your creative passion will thrive no matter where you go!

I found your channel on KZfaq and binged everything. I love when you post a vod since i can't catch streams but i guess i could just go to your twitch and watch all the vods there. The way you've posted some of your 10-50 min videos is really nice and easy to follow.

love your videos man i will support you no matter what!

You do what you wanna do and I'll be here to watch. Love you man.

Whatever content you make we'll be there to support you. :)

look bro, i dont care what you do as long as you make content that you're happy with that is enjoyable. Thats it. Really, im just here for the every so often hilarious banger that cooks off. You can't force funny, it just happens. Thats just how it be :) I've never really been the type to see things as funny, but watching other people lose their shit over stuff that they think is funny will never get old to me. It's one of the classics.

do whatever you need to do man, especially if it's a little time off. everyone deserves a break once in a while. you've actually been a comfort creator for me for at least a few years now. your thoughts about your content (roughly 2:40) are absolutely correct, you're funny, easy to watch, and definitely good at GH/its clones. no matter what you do, i'm here for you through and through. love the vids king, no matter what they are 👑

Dude been watchin for years now, you’re always awesome! Cant wait to see the Facebook livestream 👍🏼

Dude, I’ll eat up any content you give us. Just keep being you and we’ll be here - no matter what that looks like for you. Thanks for all your hard work and giving us so many years of joy with your content. Looking forward to more 🤘🏻

The goofy-ahh mashup album playlists are my favorite on your channel. Hopefully, those are easier to keep uploading? But man, low-effort stream highlights would be enough for me. They're hilarious, and I can't always make it to your streams so those are a big W.

We appreciate you so much man

100% love your streams, you do what you want

Been watching since I was in middle school such a good dude keep your head up man keep grinding

You a real one, never forget it!

The old school 3-4 minute videos was what made me fall in love with your channel. I’m happy with whichever way you feel like moving forward and wish you the best!

Honestly the best I can say in this current landscape is to do what makes you happy. Even if it’s like 20 mins and unaffected by Content ID, I’m here for it and will continue even if I miss the streams because of work. One day at a time 💛

I loved your old ways man, you do great whatever you do to so do what you want and we will be watching no matter what ❤

Watched you since I was 11 man and i turn 19 soon. Youre an absolute G and I appreciate all the work you do. Stay frosty man

this is crazy ive been watching yur vids for a while i littersly love your content ggs man

I honestly grew up with your old school stuff, id love to see those get a comeback!

Honestly, I love watching your skill and dedication to these different games, but there are so many things I like to watch, it’s hard to squeeze them all in… So the 3-4 min clips of you completing something is honestly something I’d look forward to.

I’m cool with whatever you want to do with your content as long as you’re still around man, you the goat!! 🙏💚 Mad respect

Bro, you got me into clone hero recently and I thank you for that. Do whatever you think is best for bro.

We’ll follow wherever you go man, I’ve loved you for the last 6 years and i’ll continue to love and support you through it all man and i know plenty of fans will as well man. Keep doing you no matter what!

I started following you for your stream highlights or quick meme chart videos because I just watched you for.. you. Your personality and community add so much to your content that I would watch the mashups through your channel instead of on their own because it was so much funnier to me. Do what you want man, you're so funny and entertaining with who you are that I believe a large majority of us would watch anything you make.

we got you bro i thought you were quitting so i’m just happy to know that you’ll still stream

It’s honestly really nice to hear that you want to focus on something that seems more enjoyable producing and I bet will be fun to watch too, content creators really deserve the respect because what good y’all do. 💯

just wanna say i fuckin appreciate you and your content dude :) i've been watching your vids since i was 14 and i'm 20 now 💀 but seriously, i'm glad to hear you're taking a step back and focusing on streaming! as long as it's easier on you mentally, i'm all for it! keep being dope man

alec you are amazing and i support in anything you do! i feel returning to the short format with minimal edits would be amazing but its you and ill support on any social platforms and much love ❤❤❤

Been a fan for awhile. Just want to say I love all the types of content, on here, Twitch, and Tiktok. Do what makes you happy and works for you man. We'll be here.

you’re doing what you need to do, we’re gonna support you no matter what, we are so proud of you 💜

Will watch whatever you put out

love u bro we support you

damn, you are the one who got me into guitar hero bro. Whatever you decide to do we all still love you.

I'll be here watching your stuff regardless of how you decide to structure- if you think this is best, go for it!

Whatever you decide, stick to what you feel is right. Godspeed Acai

You’ve made some great rhythm game content, and awesome things, and whatever you feel like now, we’re ok with it! Thanks for making some great content! (Been recently getting into rock band 2, it’s a blast!!)

You've got my full support, brownman, no matter what you do.

Just to start off I want to say how much I appreciate your content. I've been with this game since GH1, I remember hanging out in IRC chat with the ScoreHero community, watching as online play become the juggernaut that it was with RB2 and beyond. Watching channels like you, George, Jason, Randy, and so many others succeed is super inspiring. Once RB started dying I didn't think it would be mainstream ever again and time and time again you prove it wrong. You keep growing, adapting, and help in making this community thrive even in 2024. I hope your success inspires other creators to keep going at it and never letting this game die. I'd be a liar if I said I didn't have a strong sense of nostalgia over the old days with constant uploads of new FCs and progression. I LOVE watching your over time progression videos and long-plays as you grind towards big ones as well. Stream highlights and goofy mashups are also super fun to watch. But at the end of it, I'd have so much more fun watching your content if it's the content you want to create and feel fulfilled by. I don't know how open you are to doing a hybrid approach, but I would be completely happy with regular uploads of just FC runs in their "raw". And then occasionally just have your narrative-styled big uploads as you feel inspired to do so. I feel like it would be a best of both worlds, while also hopefully freeing up some editing time so you aren't constantly having to go through endless hours of streams just for a single video. Again, congrats to you and your success, and I hope that you can find that happy medium where you can thrive from your creations while also find enjoyment with it.

Besides i dont watch streams normally, im gonna be there man thanks for the all the videos in all this time❤

As long as you keep making content im good with whatever you do!

honestly i love this type of video of you just sitting down for ten minutes and just giving your opinion on something it would be cool to see more like this every once in a while

I like the funny brown man, that's why I subbed, if I get to see more of ya in different forms then that's cool

You’ve been by far my favorite guitar hero/rock band and all of the other guitar rhythm games content creator for years and at least to me the format or the way you upload videos has never mattered and will never matter as long as you’re uploading you being you and playing the games you’re clearly very passionate about, whatever you’re doing I and many others will be watching and supporting the shit you put out, love you and your videos

I've watched you for a long time ur content is amazing but all of us will miss you love you acai ❤

I've seen how many creators i liked get tired and angry overtime with the platform, i totally get why. I think the first thing is you being ok and healthy. Focus on what works best for you. A youtuber from my childhood and home country, started doing that years ago and I'm so happy i see them having fun again. Vids come less often but their content is noticeably better because of it:) You do you, we'll be here either way✨ and thank YOU dude

I am from Argentina and I love watching your streams playing, I also love everything related to Guitar Hero. I'm sure Argentina loves you!

I think the right way to go about it is however YOU want to go about it. I enjoyed the songs you'd post and always have, always will. If you find a banger / create a banger on anything and post it, hell yeah. I'd love to watch it.

Fully respect your decision. It's a bit sad but I rather have you feel what's right for you. Appreciate all that you do for the community ❤

No way. We losing everybody in 2024.

Do whatever you need to do, you deserve it ❤

I love ur content bro

I'm totally fine with the direction you going to, no matter what you are not losing a viewer. I will always be here and watch. Do what's best for you and what makes you truly comfortable.

Been following you for like 10 years and yeah, the OG content is good

Been a viewer since 2018's and through the table and the memes. I love just watching you play some clone hero, my guy. If you want to post one song at a time - sure, we still have streams and mashups. Love your stuff either way ❤

Ive been i silent fan for years of you and this video really hits hard, but you gotta do what is best for you i love you man

Just glad to have you around, however you choose to do it :) watched you for nearly 10 years now

I dont use twitch really but all the best man. Your personality and charm got me into the genre

Hey your a legend! you do you man.

I have only started watching recently, I'll watch whatever, highlights are great. Short form content works too. You do you brother.

Haven't been here that long. Starting randomly watching Guitar Hero during the pandemic but love you Brown Man

I don’t usually comment on much but. Keep doing your thing. You’ve got a community behind you that enjoys the content for YOU! You’ve been an inspiration for me personally since I’ve watched you years ago. And then eventually meeting you at Twitch Con was amazing. Your presence online and in person is great. Keep up the good work bro, do what makes you happy. Always glad to see whatever you do!!

Ay man, as long as you're healthy and all safe and sound, do what's best for you I completely understand how you feel, because it's a very "been there" situation for me. I know the struggle, trust me. But hey, do what's best for ya 🧡 Edit: The Quality Of SiIvagunner mentioned🎉 That means a lot man, thank you ❤

good luck man

i watched you when i was 7-8 years old (first vid fury of the storm) now im 16 and a few years away from college. i wanna thank you alec for making me love guitar hero. you are a childhood hero of mine. good luck on future endeavors 🙏

No matter where the content is posted the mashup playthroughs are what I work to and Ill continue to support the content wherever its posted always a fan

I'll watch whatever you post honestly

Do whatever you determine works best. We'll be here.
