      @@a-a-rondavis9438 what he did has nothing to do with his ability..mike Tyson raped a woman, it doesn’t mean he’s not a better boxer than you. At least in the beginning Tom and juji were good friends. And Tom is the reason for the explosive growth of the channel that happened right when he took over the creative aspects.....hate Tom as a human all you want....you can’t knock his videographer/producer/creator/ whatever you wanna call it skills. He took jujis old almost Eric bugenhaugen ish content and turned it into some of the best content on UA-cam. I followed juji before Tom. I’ll follow him well after. But you can’t deny the impact he had. getting to, out of his life seems to be a massive weight off of Jon. But it is and will definitely be a loss for the videos. I’ve been saying I hope juji replaces him with someone else not on camera but behind the camera giving direction and ideas.
