I've watched you for almost your entire time online. I've usually found you intriguing. But, this video gave me the more central notion: Joey, you're a truth teller. You have succeeded in staying honest to both yourself and seeing what is real rather than some fake version of the real. Thank you for staying truthful to yourself…that's a real accomplishment.

Joey, here is my truth. I've watched, not followed you. My destiny is My desitny, not guided by an "Influencer" a new made up 21 century word meaning the person you are influencing has no clue. I don't follow any of you. WATCH YOU Joey, because you're REAL. PERIOD.

You are a better person. You have seen the road you shouldn't travel. Big revelation. Be strong. Be well. Choose the right. What's best for you, your family, and your well-being should be the focus. Thank you for sharing and... pet the doggos for me.

joey! why am i only watching you now 😭😭😭😭 i just love this so much, i appreciate it alot!

Thank you, Joey for opening up. You're really brave to do that and I'm glad that you're in a better place now with so many great followers. Fame didn't change you and I'm proud of you!! 🤍🙌🏻

Joey, this video was awesome, thank you. You’ve really helped me out these past couple months with your videos and I really appreciate the content you make!

Man, you actually inspired me to start my channel, even if I'm years too late. I would want to become a creator where I make the content I enjoy and that I could be more authentic and true to self, not trying to be someone else to pleasure others. I will still be here even if you're 50 😎

The Colleen shade took me out💀

Love your videos, you inspired me to make my own channel!!!! My vids aren’t as good as yours though haha

You've really been through it all in the content journey. Loved this video a lot man. I appreciate the things you post!

I put on my blue “stay you” sweater from years ago today, and this popped onto my feed. The universe works in mysterious ways.

This was an awesome video, Joey! I've been following you since your early days on KZfaq and I appreciate hearing your experience in this career. Social media Creators like yourself were a large part of why I chose to work in social media marketing after graduating college. Thanks for always inspiring me and creating great content :)

Epic video that says a lot about the KZfaq community and where one's insecurity and search for validation may lead them. I am glad you didn't let it change you.

I've never come across someone else who was on Gifboom! Felt like such a fever dream of an era

I saw you for the first time today. Your character intrigued me. And you gave me the courage to just a channel, instead of waiting for the perfect time. I'm 30 and this is where I will build my life all over again. Thanks

I'm 18 and being a KZfaqr is something I've always wanted to be

I started watching your videos in 2016! I don't always comment, but I always enjoy the videos you post- I appreciate your honesty 💛

We enter any industry fresh and malleable, we clear the fog for ourselves making a path or a small area under our feet and around us to try to see the small picture of the much bigger one. And we slowly explore little parts of this map… navigating to scary parts, but then coming back to the first landing we made if it wasn’t comfortable for us wherever we were headed. That path looks eventually like a web, like a little spider walking our threads that builds everything in connection with each other, and the strongest of webs are the ones with most interconnectivity. And you Joey made that web circling around and always making more connections through online interactions… but remember though most webs have a you in the middle, you always come back to the centre where the web in this map is strongest … you stayed you :) and you made that your core of your web, and you made that social responsibility yours, you stood up to say you want to make people’s lives better because you saw you had the power to do so as an influencer - making other people feel loved, connected, part of your web. You didn’t venture into other places to start making webs somewhere else - you came back :) and I’m happy to see you do that so authentically.

GifBoom actually sounds fun lmao

I love u joey! I been following since u started KZfaq ❤
