please watch all the way thru for my full explanation🙏 love you all! I know this isn’t a video you guys are wanting to see, but it’s just me deciding to not let this channel die and take it to the next level🙏❤️

Bruh, when you say "Knowing that I'm not valued on this channel" that saddenes me. It really does. You have soooooooo much value. You really do. Please know that 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Your reactions were too real for KZfaq. Never seen reactions like yours in any other channel. That’s why I stayed and I’m gonna continue to be here! 💚

Noooo!!! Literally my fav reactor …. Been rocking with you since the car days but I completely understand your reason fs!!! Will still support you 👑

We get it, Jack. I remember watching you as a cutie pie of a high schooler doing dope reactions. Now, you're literally a young man, but I can tell it's not the same. It hasn't been the same for a little while. The music reaction videos back then were full length, full audio, we could tell you were having such a great time, and we were having a great time, too... Now, everything is so cut down, watered down, and just not as fun anymore... And we know *that's not on you* . This pivot is totally understandable, we wish you nothing but the best in this transition. Take a chance, take a risk on you, and who knows. God bless!

So sorry to see ur channel go. Im older, and yours was 1 of the few i liked. But I wish u blessings on ur journey. 🙏🏾

this is deadass bittersweet, been around and seeing the grind for years, and appreciated your music taste in R&B and actually giving nostalgia the moment it deserved. i had a feeling something was up, because so many reactors are starting to push away from music reactions because of copyright and the algorithm is a common denominator. currently having that issue with my own videos as a mashup artist and content creator who typically creates R&B, nostalgic mashups. no one watches, and it just screws up your self-worth and makes you question is it worth sharing on a platform that doesn't value you. i did pay for one song request a LONG while ago but i didn't think you did it, but either way, seeing you crank consistent videos, but thank you for listening to good R&B with an open mind and a good ear.

Speaking as a viewer who has been thoroughly entertained by your reactions, humor, knowledge of, and clear appreciation for music. I understand everyone has their own path in life. Thank YOU for the time you've spent with us. I wish you all the best going forward. Jack, you are one in a million 🎉 🎉

11:39 “I am no longer sitting back and just letting things happen.” 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I'm gonna be honest, I've never stuck with any channel as long as, I've stuck with this one, and it's all because of You Jack. I love your content, personality, and energy that you bring to this channel. I hope to continue to see you grow for many more years to come.♥♥

Been rockin' with you for 3 years Jack! You had some of the best and funniest music reactions on KZfaq. They always made me smile. Nothing but love for you and the community you built. It's been a lot of fun watching you grow as a person. I wish you luck and many blessings, and I look forward to seeing what's next for you.

Been here since 5k and I will be here going forward. Good luck going forward Jack 🙏🏽

I discovered this channel in the fall of 2021. So I'm late to the party. I've enjoyed every minute of it. Your loving embrace for a community rich and diversity and inclusion with the common love of music is what resonated with me. You have the wisdom and foresight that most people 2 to 3 times your age wish they had. It's been an honor to be a part of your community for the past three years. and I'm thrilled beyond words to witness the journey ahead of you. May God be your copilot! 🙏🏾

This is a very mature, balanced explanation and decision! Blessings to you!

ThemTube. It is not KZfaq. I understand your take. You have been a lot of fun. Keep that spirit up!

What ever you do Jack, I’m sticking with you! I found you in one of my worst times in my life when Covid hit I remember 😪. For some reason I was looking for a Michael Jackson reactions because his music comforts me; then I found you reacting to “Remember The Time”. I immediately subscribed. We love you Jack! 💚💚💚🤗

You're doing the right thing 100%. You have done SO MANY reactions. It was a lucrative way for you to start out, but the time to branch out is now and I'll definitely still be watching. If you find a large enough crowd that's still going hard for music reactions, maybe you can start a patreon for that specifically. Either way, this is a smart decision.

It's good to have something exciting to look forward to! I'm happy for you! 🎉

Absolutely nothing but love and blessings to the community and jack. You guys are amazing ❤

Man it's so crazy how fast time flies but I'm very proud of you and how much you've grown as a creator. Your dedication, passion, and hard work is admirable and I wish nothing but the best for you in this new chapter in your career, peace!

Totally understand man. Do what ya gotta do. KZfaq & greedy record companies are TRIPPIN...huge loss. You and all the reactors. All the best to your future endeavors. Lookn forward to the next step

Just finished the video, my guy, I absolutely appreciate your transparency in this evolution, I've been subscribed & keeping up since the 2020, youre 1 of the 1st reactors that got me following reactions & then becoming a reactor myself. I value your transparency about the struggle, I'd love for this to be my full time but so many things (what I get financially from it) would have to be stable for that to be a thing, and I face too that when it is, I also don't want to be pigeon holed. I've learned so much following you, I've been a Patron, I created Discord & Twitch in following you & never learned how to use either 😆. I say all that to say, I'm sad to see this aspect of what you do end, but I'm happy to see your growth, you've come a long way & it inspires many, keep it going man.

Subbed in the beginning, loved this channel and seeing my favorite artists being rediscovered by a newer generation 🙏🏾Wish you nothing but the best bro!

Can’t be mad at growth. Keep going don’t stop. You will find your target audience and the people that subscribed for you will continue to support. I’m not going no where. Lol

It's an end of an era!😢

Thanks for all the reactions Jack. You have blessed our lives

Wishing you much success and peace brother! I’ll still enjoy whatever you give us👊🏾

Sad to hear, but I totally understand. I’ve enjoyed your reaction videos over the years and thanks for all the great content. Good luck with everything you do in the future!

I also wanted to add, that I had been on dialysis for a year before bumping into your channel. I can’t tell you how many treatments your videos helped me get through. Growing up in the 90s, a lot of the pieces you reacted to brought back so many memories. And here we are years later and still watching and now with a new kidney after a transplant back in October 2023. Thank you for all you do and I look forward to where things progress!

I appreciate this video very much🙏 Thank you for addressing the issue. I'll miss the reactions, but I understand completely. I'll still be here to support you in whatever you do.❤💗💞

We love and support you king 🫶🏾

Been following u since early Mariah reactions in 2020…u have never lost my interest or support and I really appreciate all you have done to this day. I am proud of you (as someone older and equally passionate about the arts) and impressed by you. This move makes total sense and we are blessed to have received this message and all the content that precedes it. You’re awesome, man. Do what u do and I will support ✌️

Jack you been my fave youtuber for years and I'm gonna keep supporting you no matter what. Labels making 6 figures out of your work and you getting none is crazy. F them!

It's just another era man 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾🔥

Hello, Jack. I will miss your reactions, but I agree with your sentiments - you ought to be able to grow and work on a platform that supports you. I have seen your vlogs recently, and they are pretty funny. All the best to you! 😊

Nooooo…I saw the title a few days ago and flat out refused to watch the video. Like everyone here, I too completely enjoyed watching your reactions…you are truly genuine and your videos always took me to a happy place, a much needed place on some rough days. Blessings to you on this new journey…will be here to see you grow ✌🏼

It's been a great 5 years watching your content! Will stay subscribed to see where you take your channel next!

We’re still with you brotha !

Makes total sense man. I was definitely here almost from the beginning. I fell in love with your channel when I first saw your Janet reactions years ago. The way you appreciated music and my Queen, I had to subscribe! You’ve really done an amazing job building what you have so much respect to you! Whatever the future holds, I wish you nothing but love and luck. Be blessed man 💪🏽

Proud of you Jack. Here for the next chapter 💖

Thank you Jack, this is fantastic to have the guts to pull the plug: much love, can't wait to see what the future holds in store for you!!

Respect! I’ve watched you grow up online and feel like a proud auntie. I wish you the best in whatever you do & will keep up with your progress.

Didn't even know reacting to music videos was a thing until I came across your channel. Changed my life. It was your commentary & knowledge for music that grabbed my attention, but it was your genuine passion for music & appreciation that kept me tuning in. I felt understood when I would listen to you react to the soundtrack of my past, present & future. I was like, "Wow, he gets it, but how? He's just a kid." He's going through different decades of music (80s, 90s, 70s, 00s & on....)relating with his words actually emotions & feelings, I felt the first time I heard this track. You quickly became special just because of that & getting glimpses of your personality brought it home for me. The way you understood the joy & pain, the heartbreak & sadness, the beauty & betrayal, the love & spiritual messaging that flowed through the lyrics, the rhythm & the production of different song songs connected me to your channel. I remember some of us would constantly comment how you understood lyrics & you constantly pointed out you're more of a production guy. Okay, you win Jack, lol😁. But you were right. I learned so much on this channel without trying to. Your music reactions brought joy, positive energy & laughter. It was so much fun. Your music reactions were like a gift that I looked forward to & now I will treasure with all my heart. All the hard work, time, dedication & tender love & care you gave to each music reaction I wholeheartedly appreciate. I really do. Thank you for addressing this issue & being upfront about it all. You definitely appreciate us as subscribers to keep going this long, entertaining us despite all you've just shared. I know it's not all about money, but time is money & you gotta live, you gotta eat. Now it's time to celebrate🥂 you moving on. Before I finish, I would like to say you are an intelligent & amazing young man who will fly as high you let your mind & work ethic take you. The sky is definitely not the limit for you. That feeling you are feeling now, free & unboxed, taking control, happy when doing vlogs, always remember it going forward. This is how it should be when you know you're doing the right thing for you at the right time. Reevaluating & self examining your current situation no matter how successful or unsuccessful it is, is a healthy way to see where you've been, where you are, where you're going & where you want to be all at the same time. So you're on the right track,... Jack😁. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). I'm so happy for you, truly. Congratulations, Jack. Thank you & thanks to everyone, your team that supported you all these years to bring us almost 4K videos, whew!😯💪🏼that's a lot. I'm already subscribed to Jack Reacts 2 & I will continue to support this channel as well, so let's gooo & let's grow.🪴

Your authenticity and profound self-reflection have been truly inspiring. These traits have not only fueled your growth and success in your music reaction videos but also hold the potential to excel across various video formats. Embracing change, though challenging, is essential for progress. As Charles Darwin famously stated, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change." Here's to embracing change, surviving, and ultimately thriving! 👏 🎉💛

Been a long time fan for years. Wishing you the best. The Jack reacts song was the best

Been here since the first Mariah reactions.. stay up bro bro💪🏾real ones will stay regardless of the content

A big THANK YOU! Good luck, Jack. I wish you all the best.

Jack!!! Oh it’s been a pleasure, going to follow you on everything else ! Doing Mariah reactions was how I first found you and man you’re amazing! Giving you all the positive energy my man.

Hi jack i found you on KZfaq last year with your music reactions and really enjoyed them and how much knowledge you had on the music, how mature, intelligent and articulate you are. You are very inspiring at such a young age which is so wholesome to me. You are a blessing and a joy to watch. Continue to grow in whatever you choose to do and i will be here to support you as much as im able to. Do what is best for you and also look up for direaction. Looking forward to your new endeavours. Much love and stay blessed. 😊🥰🙏🙏

Good for you jack! Been here since jump. Happy to have seen you grow your channel. Good luck with the future endeavors ❤

You are correct! I’m a creator that started doing music reactions. I had to switch content because it was crushing. No money there. Copywrite stuff takes forever to dispute.

Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts (and not click baiting us!). It’s always interesting to see the thought process behind content creation. Wish you the best in your pivot!

Love you brother. Good journey to you my man.

Hey Jack, whether you see this or not. I have been watching from the beginning and watched you grow up on this channel and I just want to say that your drive and ambition is what I'm the most proud of and would be overwhelmed to see a young man like you thrive and make your dreams come through as a father would watching his son. I'm proud of, and for you so keep going full speed ahead. Thank you for your work and contribution!!!

Been here since the start ! Will still continue to support you whatever direction you decide to go ❤❤

Wishing you much success on this next chapter bro!! I’ve been here since 2020. I’m also glad you’re shedding light on this topic! But regardless I’m rocking with you 💪🏼

Wow bro I’ve been seeing your reactions for years!! You and Dee I’ve been watching y’all for years now.. man im here for the vlogs and all that no doubt!! You dope Jack!🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽💯💯

Keep doing your thing my brother whatever you got going on can’t wait for the next chapter on this channel wish you the best

I can tell you are excited when watching your vlogs. Happy for you on the new chapter. 🫶

I have loved watching you grow (and your backgrounds upgrade😁) as I continued to enjoy your content over the years. In general, I have not supported most reactors/influencers, but I believe you have made a positive impact and deserve recognition and compensation! Do what you have to do!!!

Jack, I have enjoyed you man. I am sticking around to see what you got happening.

Jack never reacted to my request from a year ago, I let that go and didnt issue a paypal dispute because he's given us alot of free entertainment over the years.

I’ve really enjoyed all your reactions to rnb & hip hop (especially the 80s & 90s) it will be shame that you no longer reacting to them but whatever your next plans are then go for it bro…. You’ve got so much potential with an amazing personality to match it & deserve lots of support for your next moves 🔥💯 stay safe dude

The explanation in this video was very eloquently put and I think anybody who’s been watching you since the beginning could tell that you had grown out of the music reactions. I’m excited to see what you do next.

You really can’t spend all day recording, editing etc without getting paid for it, so I understand. I didn’t realise how little reactors were valued by YT. I would expect some of the money would go to the songwriters or record label, but not all. There’s no reason to unsubscribe from your channel. How you (seemingly) enjoyed reacting to new music is amazing, considering you were putting in so much time for so little in return. Know that your followers/ fans do appreciate your reactions because of the way you analyse and notice things we don’t. I’ve listened to songs hundreds of times but didn’t know the meaning of them until watching you react to them. I wish you the best of luck with you content going forward. Gary, England.

I've been rocking with you since you started your channel and will contiue to follow you into your new endeavors. 😍

Yo Jack. In 2019 when i first came across your channel, i was 35 turning 36. I enjoyed you (younger music lover) reacting to music that came out when i was around your age. I am 40 now and I'm still subscribed. Even if you didn't receive a dime from the ADs, i appreciate your in depth analysis on classic jams. And the way you described the beats. I particularly watched the older hip hop/rap reactions. Just want to say that it was a joy. And i feel no need to unsubscribe. Do your thing and evolve.

much love to you bro, had alot of fun times watching your reaction vids especially during lockdown 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Ive known this channel for years and today I was watching one of your reaction videos and then wondered what happened to you…just to see you posted this video 6 hours ago. I think everyone here understands your choice and this is probably the wisest choice you could make. Keep it up! Sending good vibes from Paris, France 🇫🇷

Honest, sincere, thoughtful, caring, concerned, respectful and obviously authentic. You opened up and shared the situation from a perspective that most of us who are viewers and subscribers don’t know the extent of the effort and huge amount of time that goes into the work you and many other creators put into your content. I’m sure it was tough making this video and that is a testament to the quality of individual you are. Thank you and you deserve to spread your wings and break out of that box you mentioned in the video. Your excitement and enthusiasm over the journey you have decided to embark on is exciting for us as viewers as well. There are only good things which are coming your way and I’m sure you are going to have the support and encouragement you deserve from those who follow you on this platform. All the best on this exciting start of a new direction you embark on and looking forward to see what you bring to us in the future ❤

I totally understand and will continue to support you!!! Sending love and light your way JACK…you’re like my little brother in my head. Keep moving forward 🙏🏽💜👏🏽💯

The end of an era fr been watching your since I was in 8th grade!!

Big ups to you bro. Stay up. Salute and respect in your next endeavors 🫡

We’ll still love you! Even rappers will do other genres sometimes and be bigger sometimes 😊😊 Every. Body. This is Jack Reaaaaaaaaaacts! 🎉❤

Been rocking with you since your original intro where your singing, This Is Jack Reacts, aye! The reactions sitting parked in your car. I just subscribed to the new channel. Looking forward to the vlogs. Thanks for being transparent and open on the changes.

I feel you bro, that’s why I find it hard playing big video games on my KZfaq bloody copyright, so expanding doing other types vids. So good luck Jack enjoying the new content 🙌

Jack, I've said it before and I'll say it again. You have a great speaking voice with a personality to do great things in the entertainment industry. Make a video resume of your best work a really market yourself. God Bless Bro!

Everything that has a beginning, has an end. Much respect bro for keeping it a 💯

I understand, Jack!!! You have to do what you have to do. Been rocking with you for awhile and you kept me from being bored many times. I'm not going anywhere, I've been here way too long to leave. Good luck though.

Love that you’ve prioritized your peace in this process! Looking forward to keep up with your next steps in the journey, I definitely think TikTok is a platform that you can grow on! Blessings to you 💗

I love you Jack!! I've been watching since you were a cute curly hair white boy that was definitely invited to the cookout with your beautiful soul and respect for our/black culture. I wish you the best plus you have definitely made a dent in the great music catalog. 😘😘😘😘

Wow bro we've came a long way with in your journey from your recording in your vehicle to your own place, damn this sad we won't see for awesome reactions bro. But we all wish you a blissful future hopefully we'll see you more down the line.🙏🏾

Good luck. I remember being your 51st subscriber since you when all you were doing were Bone Thugs N Harmony reactions.

I had started watching you during Covid and your videos really lifted my spirits. I recently saw you were doing different but didn't know there was co much behind that. Good luck to you, hope you find exactly what you're looking for!

Hate to see you go! I’ve been a fan since 2020 and you had me on a hold with the Janet videos! I do see where you’re coming from as the era of reactions is slowly dying off. 2020-2021 was the time but like every era, it comes to an end. Wishing you the best and I’ll hang around for the ride!

Ugh so sad to hear! I loved watching your reactions. I discovered old throwbacks through your videos. Looking forward to your next chapter!

Thank you for all the reactions over the years. It’s be a pleasure watching. Totally understand you wanting to move forward in life. We look forward to seeing you evolve and grow

I plan to follow for a while to see your shift. Best of Luck!!!

Your reacts have been the best! Thank you so much for your content thought the years ❤ I'll be happy in continue watching your channel and the new vlogs

I love this! One thing I got taught was to never restrict yourself to one lane in life. Keep going until you find the right thing for you, both financially and mentally. There's many platforms for creators to experiment with different types of content and you'll find something

Good luck with everything, Jack! Thanks for all of the amazing, heartfelt reactions!

Hi Jack glad to see you, just recently discovered your channel and I must say that I've definitely enjoyed the few reaction videos that I did see. I understand your frustrations and wanting to go in a different direction with your channel, no hard feelings. Take care

Hey Jack Unfortunately, good things sometimes end. Your reactions were entertaining and provided a wonderful escape from the tragedy surrounding us during the COVID lockdowns. You made life a little easier to get through during those tough times and sleepless nights, helping people connect and creating a sense of community. I wish you all the best and much success in your life and new endeavors. Shalom.

I understand 💯 loved the channel keep pushing forward prayers for absolutely nothing but success for you brother

Wishing you all the best, Jack! 🙏🏾

I never comment but had to this time. Very sad to see you go, and even more hearing how they don’t pay you all. I wish you prosperity down the line! Really will miss your reactions to all the diverse music you listened to! 💙

I support you Jack! I've been a follower since 2019. Find what makes you happy. Whatever path you go, I wish you well.

Been here since 3K & I’m staying for you Jack. You’re the anchor that keeps us here & I’m ready to see where you go. 🩵🫶🏻

Love your reactions over the years!! You seem like a great guy and always always has positive things to say!! Thank you!!

Fan of your channel for 3 years now and I’m so happy for you making this decision. Also I’m excited for the new content. Much Love 🤍🙏☀️
