    They talk about losing relevance, but Jacksepticeye is in the unique position where he’ll just be able to slowly transform into the pure chaos and content potential that is “ old Irish man”, honestly he’d probably gain a ton of followers if he were to reach that magical threshold

    I agree when Séan says he thought MatPat was very unlikely to quit, because it looked like he had everything figured out.
    I truly believed MatPat would be like the internet's Queen Elizabeth. He's just a constant. Always there. Always theorizing. Throughout an ever-changing digital landscape. (Admittedly, I wish he still would be) I just picture him theorizing about the hit new game *Lorp Shlorp 3* in 2029, and its non-existent lore... and loving every minute of it...

      He is not retired yet. He is leaving the theorist channels on March 9th and is on GTlive until summer then he is the CEO of theorist inc. He still writes scripts for the four new hosts. He doesn't know what he wants for his live channel except for it to change too much he wants someone to sit on the couch while doing Livestream and also doesn't want to change everything at once. What about his co-host she dropping as CEO as well and nobody talks about it? One thing that Matthew Patrick talked with Anthony from smosh about during their interview. That nobody takes Stephanie seriously when she is the co-host of the channels.

    I actually got into Sean's videos more recently in comparison because he doesn't scream anymore. He talked about that in the video, and I am sure I am not the only one.

    Its really frustrating hearing Sean have to deal with UA-cam forcing him to focus on one thing and NOT split his content because less views or algorithm or whatever tf, because i love watching everything he comes out with, like the tiktoks or scary games and the 3 hour videos. That's really dumb that UA-cam works that way, as a creator you should be able to make whatever content you want and still get the same amount of views, it's YOUR channel.

    • @oldmatttv
      @oldmatttv 10 місяців тому +1

      Unfortunately, this makes little sense whatsoever. Of course you can't just make whatever you think of and have the same views, that wouldn't make any sense. People tuned into your channel for a reason, and if you then just flip many won't be interested, and so then a new follower base that is interested is required, but now you have all the old ones still there making your videos seem like nobody watches them. That makes perfect sense, you can't just be selling grand pianos and have a loyal customer base and good rep, and then switch to selling yoga mats and expect to keep the same interest and rep level. Or think about even just something like demand and supply, it's also not that far off as a basic principle.
      Anyway, Jack could easily just forget about the numbers altogether. The financial aspec is surely not important anymore. So it's more a psychological block than anything else. Just do whatever and that's that (and tbh, people would still be interested, far more than the average channel). Nobody is stopping him from doing whatever he feels like doing apart from himself.

Instead, they stockpiled over $600,000, spending some of it for "administrative costs", and he claimed that he only found out in 2021 and was trying to find "the right charity" to send the money to. He only publicized things when others found the tax filings of his charity organization, which is a non-profit mind you.

Personally, watching Unus Anus has taught me to let things go way better than I have used to. Looking back at the memories make me happy, maybe a little bittersweet. Holding onto something that is inevitable is what makes things hurt way more than it should. Yes, shed those tears. But don’t put pressure on other UA-camrs that have been giving us free content for YEARS, because one day they will leave and that’s not something my that won’t happen.

    It is incredible that both of you talk so openly about your counseling experiences. I am a new counselor (in my internship, but I will be licensed within the year!), and one of the most prevalent issues I still find in the field is the stigma surrounding mental health treatment that keeps many people from getting help. I will be working with addictions, which includes gaming addiction, and having prominent UA-camrs talk about their counseling so casually is a great step to motivate others to seek treatment. It is an excellent way to normalize mental health and how helpful it is to talk with someone professionally. I genuinely appreciate your willingness to share that you are in counseling, from both a personal and professional viewpoint.

    I understand the feeling of the "when is it time to quit" or "when is it time to change things up". I turned 30 in December and it made me think of how I've been working since I turned 18 in the same industry. I could develop and improve myself constantly and had a goal to work towards, but now that I am on top of what my industry has to offer, it's kind of tough to find a new direction again. I am kind of burned out of my work, but the consequences of changing everything up are so intimidating that I am unsure to put it through or instead try to find a new direction. I can't even understand how older generations were able to work 10-20 years in the same freaking business and be perfectly content.

      I'm now managing 4 channels as opposed to the original all in 1 consolidated channel, however UA-cam now has a better understanding of what each channel is.
      In the first 2 years of having the consolidated channel, it gained 36 subs.
      Sometimes going weeks to months between a new sub, until I made one video that blew up and gained 150 subs in a month and a few thousand views.
      However most videos would get views in the 10 to 20 ballpark.
      However in just the 2 months since I fragmented the channels, One channel has 52 subs, one has 22, one has 5 and the original channel (This One) has actually lost subs.
      But most of my videos are now getting a minimum of 30 to 50 views, some even in the mid triple digits, and I'm only uploading a fourth the amount of videos on each channel, and going a much longer time between uploadeds because 3/4th of the videos ends up on a different channels.
      But it totality, it's going really well, and on my gaming essay channel I just uploaded probably my favourite video I have ever made and I am so proud of it.

    Honestly the thought of my favourite CCs retiring over the next few years is bittersweet af, I've been watching you all for over half my life so it'd sort of be like having a friend or something move away. I can't help but get teary eyed at the thought, but at the same time I'd be happy for you. Sure I'll be ugly crying with the announcement, but it'll be a happy, proud ugly cry. And unless you're Unus Annusing your channels I could always just watch videos again for old time's sake.
    Btw, I saw someone say they think Seán should just publish his analogies in a book or have them illustrated or something and I really agree with that. Shit's unironically poetic as fuck, I'd read the shit out of that.

I inched up standing in the middle so I couldn't see the ground. I knew that the ramp was solid but that did not stop my brain from saying 'You are not on solid ground and you should not be up here'. The wind could be still and I will still feel like it's rushing around me.

    6:00 I feel there's more than the work burden to MatPat's retirement, though. He could at least remain on GTLive indefinitely (his more casual channel, which is not scripted), but it seems he's gonna be there only "until the end of summer". Looks like he just wants to do more creative stuff, like making his own IPs (I guess he's tired of being the "lore hunter", and wants to be the "lore creator" now). He's mentioned some kind of "lore-fi" ARG idea, and an animated series inspired by Gravity Falls called (Welcome to) The Envie (so it's not gonna be exactly a retirement, but a career pivot).
    16:26 "What do we do now? Will we ever see you again? It's like I never hang out with MatPat, anyway" That's just because you don't watch GTLive: I'm pretty sure that's exactly how GTLivers felt after hearing the news.
    17:25 "We're probably thinking about it more than we're not anymore" Then stop thinking about it! Neither of you are in the same situation as MatPat (having to juggle 5 channels, 4 of which require research/scripting), so the comparison makes no sense. Look at Charlie/penguinz0 instead, who has been doing youtube since 2007 (that's 17 years), and he's made it clear he's no intention of stopping since he's having fun.
    1:22:40 "We don't need to be quitting youtube, we need to be pivoting" Now that's more like it 👍 I'd even say that one of the reasons Charlie is motivated is the fact he pivots all the time (people in the comments sometimes joke about how Charlie does/tries to do everything, and no one is ever sure what the next video could be about).

BIGGEST thrill of my life, you don't even feel like your falling except the wind making the corners of my mouth touch my ears and the ground getting bigger. I jumped at 14,000 feet. It's a total of about 8 mins from plane to ground and you free fall for about a minute and I kicked myself in the face when I pulled the chute cord(rip cord).

    with Rubik's cubes some of the biggest reasons people can solve them so fast is practice, memorization of algorithms, fast fingers/good finger tricks and good solutions. Luck can play a big part of it but most of the time it just comes down to the cuber solving the cube. An example is the world record single holder Max Park didnt really get a super lucky scramble he just had a really nice execution super fast fingers and some luck. A good way to test the skills of the cuber is to make them do an average of 5 (ao5) where you take the best time and the worst time and remove them from the average then average the three remaining times. This will test your skill across 5 different scrambles and will remove any major luck factors. so if max park and me did an ao5 with the same scrambles he would easily beat me because he averages 6 seconds or less and I average 9 to 13 seconds. How we find out our usual average is just by averaging our last 100 solves or so and taking that number as our usual average this will show our most recent performance and give us our current average.

      I think it's great he's able to leave of his own accord rather than fizzle out (or burn out: hosting 5 large channels with tight schedules can't be easy and I very much had the thought he could be spreading himself thin by the time Style Theory was announced, so I don't think this news is too surprising in that regard).

      That said, unless the “basket” catches on fire like in that accident, I don’t think you can “cook” in a hot air balloon, Ethan. That’s the principle of the balloon, the heat goes up and makes the balloon rise. It might feel warm, but not hot. Imagine being near a torch they put near outdoor tables in restaurants, I imagine it’s the same thing.

    Matpat does writes for the theorist channels and now him and Stephanie are just going to be the CEO and Write for the four new hosts. I personally think if Matthew Patrick trust the four new hosts that he works with. then I trust him. Tom is new host of gametheorist, Lee is new host of the film theorist and Amy is the new host of the style theorists and Santi is new host of food theorists and at least until summer he still host GTlive his Livestream channel. He doesn't know what is going to happen to GTlive but he wants someone to not change the channels. He wants someone to sit on the couch play games and react to their subreddit and stuff he does on Live Streams. Do you think the four new channels host can be as good? I mean I know they can't fill his shoes but they can do good. I even saw some theory made by Amy and Tom I think ok. I am 30 years old and I watch the game theorist and GTlive when I was in highschool. Do you guys think he will be in the fnaf movie two and three maybe act in video games like Sean did? I would love to see him voice in poppy playtime.
