Hello! I'm trying to respond to most of the comments, but there are SO many lol! Sorry if I scared some of you. Don't worry, I have no plans on quitting.. but I might take a break here and there (only for a few days, if I need one) I love and respect all of you. Thanks so much for being here. Thanks so much for all the support.
Man, you and Jelly were the start of my childhood, it was you that brought me to Camodo, and I can only thank you so many times for helping me see other creators
It’s okay to take breaks every once and awhile. Also we love the Collabs and I have been watching you for 7 years and I know you’ve been doing this for longer so I am surprised a video like this did not come sooner. Just hang in there.
Hi ob I loved to come sit down and listen to you talk about youtube rather than the daily gameplay, this is something thats great for me as i've been aging throughout watching your content and the roleplay style of content has been falling off for me as i mature. I hope for the best to come to you because you're a deserving person, good luck!
I believe UA-cam shorts should be a separate website/app, so that short form content can remain separate from long form! That way shorts UA-camrs can have a platform, and long form creators can have a better chance at getting noticed!
So, I can't speak on the UA-camrs who were shown in this video because I don't watch their content, but I do have at least two theories as to why UA-camrs are going down in views. First, Shorts, these days people have really SHORT attention spans, they only want to watch 10 secs of something and then they want to move on to something else. When they decide to click on a longform video, and they get bored because they want to move on to something else, they click off the video in less than 30 secs which isn't good for the UA-camr who uploaded that video. Second, gaming videos, specifically Let's Plays, the type of gaming videos that for example you and I do. As you said in this video, gaming videos are just on the low right now and I feel that is particularly true with the Let's Plays portion of gaming videos, maybe kids these days don't want to watch someone play a game while talking, who really knows. Regardless of whether or not your video does well as long as you enjoy making them then keep making them unless you're doing UA-cam for a living and a particular video did SUPER BAD then you would need to make necessary adjustments to keep food on the table but if it's just a little bad then meh, keep doing what you're doing. Also, I'm going to take your advice and not look at my views and analytics anymore because every time I see those low views, and most of my videos are low in views, it makes me not want to make videos anymore and I don't want to feel that way anymore. Hope you're doing well, same to Spy and Camodo. Have a great day OB.
This is exactly what I was about to say,I strongly agree with you. Most people I see on UA-cam are always on shorts. Ever since they came out I have noticed a massive drop many UA-camrs views.
Jelly said it was because his friends left him out and he wanted to do solo content even though then he formed a duo with someone he used to play with and his friends invited him to play with them and react but he said no
Sorry it took so long to respond lol! Your theories are spot on though. Things are just down across the board, with no fix on the horizon, but that doesnt mean we need to quit! Just do what we do, and keep our heads held high! I can't type or write nearly as good as you, and now im feeling self conscious about my spacing and ability to form sentences, lol.
Here’s something, OB, because of your videos on both channels a while back, it actually helped me get back into UA-cam… and because of that, it gave me some motivation and insight to push past my own dilemmas and it gave me the confidence to make songs about my life, thoughts and feelings and because of that, I’ve made a fair amount of progress with my channel ❤
"at the end of the day who really cares". I'll tell you what, I do! I have been watching you for years with my 4 boys. Your videos make me laugh, and it's how we start our day! We sit down together, turn on UA-cam and watch your new video before they go to school. Then later at night I watch your dark OB video! Keep doing what YOU want and what makes YOU happy! At the end of the day that's what matters the most!
Thanks so much!! That sounds like such a fun morning routine btw.. I need to have kids so I can enjoy stuff like that haha. Tell your boys I said hello and that I truely appreciate them watching!
@@BeautifulOB Thank you so much! This made them so happy to hear you said hello, like you made their year if not more 😁. Thank you! And I saw your post about worrying people, I'm not worried you might quit. Just wanted to show our support for you and pass some good positive vibes your way! Keep up the great work OB! You make so many people happy doing what you do! We will keep supporting and watching no matter what!
@@BeautifulOB from what I heard UA-cam change their settings a little bit so it's more harder to make videos like gaming videos and stuff that's why I really don't post on mine cuz I noticed that too with my channel
I have a couple of creators that I am really loyal to, but since I have been watching them for a decade now they have all started talking about what retirement looks like.
To let you know one member of your audience. I am a 60 year old man who has been watching you from the first time i heard your voice in a Stick Fight game. I was watching Gray Still Plays video of Stick Fight and I had to find out who all these great personalities were. I have watched every video you and the others have done since. I will always continue watching. Thank you for memorable content!
It is hard to hear that UA-camrs are having trouble trying to please everyone in today’s society. And as kids get older the UA-camrs are losing hope and feel maybe a sense of failure. I love your points here Mr. OB and I hope that you will continue to succeed. As I was growing up your videos were always so fun and they brought me so much joy. And I also want to see that happen to other kids nowadays.
OB I really needed this video. There's so many points that you brought up that I can speak to. I've been noticing my channel has been taking a hit since August even tho I'm basically doing the same thing, if not improved over the last year. I assumed it was bc school started back up, and that may be a reason. But I had no idea other channels were seeing similar effects. I noticed I was getting more reactionary and scrambling to post more or update my thumbnails. But I was luckily able to step back. Since I have a full time job, one, it allowed me to be able to step back and not feel obligated to UA-cam. And two, part of my strategy was to take that risk you mentioned and try growing with my audience over the years as I ride this full time job along with YT until the wheels fall off. This was really reassuring for me, not only on the basis that you noticed this trend affecting other creators, but also about the comparisons and competitive feelings creeping up with your peers. Although I don't have creator friends, those feelings definitely creep up for me as well when I see other channels. I feel like there's so much more I can say... If you have a platform for videos like these on a Patreon or Channel Membership where you continue to discuss about more of these types of things - let me know! I'd be happy to pay to listen in. It truly is helpful for me.
O.B, I’ve been watching you since I was 6 years old, and now, 5 years later, I’m 11. Your videos have always made me smile, laugh, and feel inspired. You’re my favorite UA-camr, and I’m so happy to see everything you’ve achieved. I also love ItsFunneh she’s my second favorite UA-camr but you’ll always be my number one. I even make music videos on Roblox, and while they’re not inspired by anyone, I still look up to you so much. Keep up the amazing work! We’re all so proud of you, and I can’t wait to see what you do next. You’re awesome, O.B! 🦋❤️
It's kinda sad seeing youtubers leave, man like matpat and other youtubers. I'm thinking of quitting, but when I see your content, I wanna keep going, man Thanks for the help Godbless❤❤❤
Whatever happens we will always be there for you never quit bro. l also know that you're channel is going down but atleast you're og fans are always here for you❤
I watched the video we all care about you. When I was also little l used to hate you because of your voice acting and singing but now you are my favourite youtuber Don't worry about anything at the end of the day the people who love will always be there for you❤❤ atleast somebody will care 😊 among 8billion people nobody caring is impossible don't quit or leave the group 🏆😭😭😢 champ.
Everything was just never the same after the pandemic, UA-cam years before pandemic was the best. I wish we can just experience through it one last time... I wish you the best Beautiful O.B.! I've also been a fan since 2017, been here since the very beginning!
I can completely relate to this, OB. I was a content creator in the gaming podcast space (2014 until just a couple months ago) and struggled with engagement and listens near the end to the point where it felt like work and not fun anymore. So, I stopped and I'm now developing other content I want to do. Maybe some Let's Plays, maybe some YT Shorts... all I care about is that I'm creating something! Being an older viewer, I tend to enjoy your Dark OB content more, just because I love janky horror games and I can tell you're genuinely having a great time playing them too, so I may do something similar. I hope you keep up the collabs! They may not get as many views, but being a big BeamNG fan, I discovered you through a trail of Neilogical > Camodo > OB, so they really do work! And when it comes to stuff like Phasmo, I'll always watch it from your perspective because I prefer face-cams and stuffed animal rescues :) Lastly, I definitely feel like Shorts has eaten into the longform UA-camr market. My youngest kid is 13 and they grew up with long vids from Ssundee and DanTDM etc, but now the mostly just put their shorts feed on and scroll through that while doing homework. It's a shame in my opinion because Shorts quality is kind of poopy at best. Sorry for the long comment, I just had a lot of thoughts on your thoughts, and wanted to share. Please stay true to your vision, be mindful of burnout, and give yourself a loud YEAH YEAH YEAH for everything you've accomplished so far!
Thanks man! I'm sorry to hear you was having a hard time, but happy you're finding more enjoyment in a different style of content! ( I too tend to enjoy Dark OB more lol!) I 100% intend to keep the collabs going, they are honestly my favorites parts of recording every week! Sorry if I dont respond super intelligently, my brain is a bit fried today haha.
Hey, OB. First and foremost, thank you for sharing a point of view from a content creator on how things are and how yall feel. We as subscribers can easily get illusioned by yalls success or lack thereof and tend to forget the human behind it. As a subscriber to several of your friends and peers and as i sit here and read some of the comments from various youtubers. I thank you for staying strong and for inspiring others to stay strong as well. I love watching your group and other groups from each person's perspective in their videos because not everything is seen in one or two of the collaborative videos. Please keep going and staying who you are. You are helping to inspire the next generation of youtubers, and who knows, you might just inspire the next big hit! I can't wait to see!
You are an amazing person and watching your content as I grew up throughout the pandemic actually game me inspiration... same with Camodo and Spy. I have been extremely busy with school lately however, and it has been a real struggle to get things done now. I will still always come back to watch your videos because you gave me that hope that I desperately needed. Graduating in 2026 is still a scary thought for me. You are an amazing person O.B, but life has taken me away from your content and the rest of the guys. I hope you read this and see the inspiration you have brought to me. Have a good day!
Fitting how this was posted right when Cory came back from UA-cam after a year-long hiatus, turning his average rate of videos into like 1 video per year
UA-cam really isn't working for smaller creators, its hard out here. And UA-cam changing Animation is now a good source of content now because it takes so long to make, and UA-cam doesn't promote it anymore. So my content is just not working anymore I feel you, OB
Yeah its REALLY hard to start a new channel now. Theres just way to much competition. Sorry you're having a hard time with it, but keep trying! Things on UA-cam change constantly, and it might start promoting you soon!
I started watching after seeing you in a Comodo video. now I prefer and look forward to your content over others. I loved your silent hill and resident evil videos. Keep doing what you love your videos keep getting better every day and your happiness shows. thank you
I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say this, it’s about nastalja we grew up watching you, Camodo, and spy. We grew up watching you guys, and we returned because it was our childhood.
Well this make me want to get back to my old yt channel (i didn't touch it for a year now) Thanks OB for this video, I been watching your video since i was 7 (i believe you are doing tabz video with spy at that time) im 15 now. Keep making great gameplay video OB :)
My son and I have been watching you, Camodo, and Spycakes for a few years now. There are certain games you all play that we like to watch on certain channels, though a lot of the times we watch the same video on multiple. Idk the UA-cam grind cost/benefit, all I can say is we enjoy you content and hope to see you making it for years .... Btw I'm 49 and my son is 7 for your age demo stats.
This is why you are my favorite youtuber Ob :) You don't care in the end if you aren't making as much views as other youtubers you just want to have a good time
O.B. it’s difficult for bigger creators like yourself to get that motivation sometimes. But it’s even more difficult for even smaller creators like myself trying to come up with video ideas, thumbnails, and having the motivation to record the video knowing that there’s no reward or income we just have to guess how it’s going to do and hope it thrives and eventually to be at your spot or beyond it. You and the group are some of my motivation, and I look up to your videos on how to become a better creator. So keep up the good work!
As someone who streams warthunder A LOT and I have hit this same problem, but it's not views, its just that playing the same game over and over again kills ya. So I had to ask what other games the guys wanted me to play. Sometimes you just gotta find something new to play. I know you and CAMODO played warthunder before but I'd really like to see you guys do more with that. Please please please. Maybe even do some colabs with viewers. Trust me that works and helps a lot
I started watching you, comodo, and Spy in kindergarten, and now I'm in grade 8, so from 5 years to 13 years old, you guys are my favorite UA-camrs, and I will never stop watching your videos keep up the wonderful work ❤️
The best way is to take people's like and also learn from others so you're a mix of everyone and when someone they like what down but you are the almost the exact same they come to you
OB dont quit, you are an amazing content creator, amazing videos, probably one of the oldest channels on the platform, and if you want i can help. Have a good winter time OB!
OB - I love all your videos. My 11 year old daughter and I watch ALL of them. And we watch the collabs on YOUR channel, even though we love Spy and Camodo as well. We also love Dark OB! I'm not a creator, but I also feel like youtube doesn't feel the same. Praying for you, brother.
HEY OB! I starting watching you when I was 6 I am now 15 I have stayed with you all these years! And I won’t leave as long as you’re still posting! Love you man!❤
I personally watch all three of you guys even if its the same vid it just feels like a whole different video, and yeah i also feel the same about not getting views but just having fun with your bros.
OB, I've been watching you and the boyz for years. Since I was little, and every time I was struggling, your videos with commit and spy have always been my joy. I love your collab videos and you! You're literally what entertains me, it's so funny hearing you and comodo's and spy's interactions. 😂 I love your guys ATS videos.
Just like you talking about youtubers taking time, I took time from watching you since your guy's content watch mainly for younger audiences; however, I believe I could start watching everything repeatedly again instead of every-now-and-then
I sleep while your playlist being played on both here and dark ob.. I would say I really enjoy your videos so much.. I enjoy watching you play and goof around being yourself ob. Even if it collab or solo I would always support you and keep watching your videos! Thank you for always making greats videos and enjoying playing the games
13:20 I had no clue you could change thumbnails after uploading, I thought I was going insane seeing a video I had watched but not recognising the thumbnail!
I've been watching your videos since I was, I think 13 or 14 maybe even before that. I'm 19 now. You've become a pivotal part of my life. I can confidently say that you're my favorite UA-camr. I mean that. ❤
I love your channel for your personality, game choices. Your personality is fun🎉 I started to watch your channel since 2017-2018 and i hope you dont quit❤️
I'm 26 fixing to be 27 and I still enjoy watching your videos OB, just as much as I enjoy watching Comodo's and 8bit Ryan. You 3 along with Markiplier are my go to when I wanna watch a video, and I plan on continuing to watch y'alls content because I enjoy it.
@@BeautifulOB Thank you for brightening up my days and making me laugh. If it wasn't for you guys my days would just be terrible and stressful. Watching you guys relive stress I have from work and daily life.
As an outsider looking in - I'm subscribed to all you guys, when its a collaboration video if one video is live (long) before the other POVs I watch the one that came live first simply to watch the content. That said, if they all come up together I try to watch your channel POV first as you always have to "root for the little guy" :) You're like Rocky OB, keep fighting upward, don't let it get you down. Collabs help people find your channel, but its your solo videos that make them stay.
I saw the title of the video and i nearly had a heart attack, its perfectly fine to take breaks and stuff, i personally prefer the collab vids, your videos are great, the thing i blame the most for these issues with utubers is youtube shorts and growing up 😢, keep up the great work
Yo! I was having a hard time trying to find your channel. I'm glad you posted on here I enjoy watching the whole gang from different points of views. Great mods mate!
I've never watched one of your videos. This just popped up in my recommended. But I 100% agree with you! People grow out of content and the new generation may not care so much. Its the natural way of life and now UA-cam is getting older with every year, we see the hype the once filled it slowly dropping as its just the norm now. But those times were good and interesting during the 2010's.
OB, no matter where you go if you decide to do things solo, do stuff with friends, or even leave the youtube career all together, I still thank you for the content that you give and your fun personality that you display. Your amazing, don't forget that.
Ob. I'm going to be honest, i don't think anyone that watches your videos are kids anymore. we just love watching you and your content. You won't believe how much people you inspire. Like your fan game all those years ago. Keep it up old friend 😊
You, Spy, and Camodo all inspired me to start youtube you 3 are pretty much the only people i watch. If you ever need a break from youtube you take one! we will be here when you return!
I first ever saw a video that conrained you when i was like 4 or 5, and im 12 now, and i still love all your content, i want you to know that if you ever die down, just believe, try new games occasionally, just stay as entertaining as you are always, because just know, that me and everyone else that watches your channel, love and care about you :)
I might have my days where I'm feeling lazy and won't watch a video that I see even if it interests me, but I know I'm still going to support that person's content eventually. I've been watching you, Camodo, and Spycakes for a while and I can understand how hard it is for you guys to make videos. I probably would get in the notion of making a video and then after a couple of minutes of brainstorming, I throw the idea out the window. Basically all I want to say is, if you or any other youtuber out there needs to take a break, take a break. Don't ever work yourself into a burnout.
OB I love this style of you just sitting talking! Honestly I'm happy to watch all the content you make, my personal favourites are your longer ones on DarkOB and wobbly life! I've even got my young cousin watching your beautiful OB channel 😁 make content that makes you happy! You deserve all the views and likes 💖💖💖
OB, I don't care how much you change, I love every single of your videos. I totally respect if you take breaks. You have a family that needs you. And I'm glad you arnt leaving. You did scare me lol. Love you bud
Well just know man that we all love you. You have made everyone of our days and those of us who do watch you absolutely enjoy every moment so im glad you got that mindset! Dont care about all that statistical fun, have fun, be you, and stay happy. Quality over Quanity you know? You have plenty of very dedicated fans to you for sure and that is awesome, like me for example im a very dedicated fan, for years you have been one of my favorite youtubers. At the end of the day though stats are just numbers, the quantity, it dont matter that much! We lova ya man
I truly think the reason why your Stormworks videos are lower than the rest is simply because people know those videos through their channels. For example, in the beginning, I would only watch Stormworks videos that you were on! BUT I watched them on Comodo's channel. Because I knew to go to him for Stormworks videos and other simulation like videos (which are my preference). I have since started watching all Stormworks videos through your channel to support you and to promote you to continue doing them. But, I don't think the average viewer thinks about that. I am not personally a fan of Wobbly Life, Garrys Mod, or the Daddy videos, but love your personality and lover your content when you do, do the simmy like games. I just know most people go to Comodo's channel for that. It really is a catch 22. Best of luck! I will always continue to support you!
OB u gotta make it emotional, im not crying ur crying. This is why OB u are one of my favourites ur honest and entertaining, and the reason i still watch youtube. Even if view are low, remember i will be here, and one of the those views is me.
Great video and I would love more of "this". Also, I hope you and Camodo will continue your murder spree in Cottage Simulator. I really appreciate it when you and Camodo do slightly more mature audience videos. I am fast approaching 50 so there's that..
OB, these videos are always helpful, especially for new youtubers like what I'm trying to do and it helps with an insight of what could happen going forward. And potentially doing a collab one day and solo the other would help. Might help with preventing quick burnouts and keep your relations strong with the boys. And as for breaks, take what you need. I could go on forever with comforting and insightful things to hopefully help boost your confidence in what you do. Love you, my guy, and always put your best foot forward ❤❤❤
We appreciate you for explaining this, and I believe most of us fans will accept any decision you take, the same way you want us to be happy, we want you to be happy as well.
O.B, you are a crucial part of my life. You're funny videos got me through the tough times and if you quit, I could understand why. It's been a quick decade I must say and if you quit I would be closing a major chapter in my life. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
I used to watch and I still watch the old videos by you guys. I was like 8-9 years old and now I’m 15. You may not make the same content, but you’re the same person. You are still one of my favorite content creators. You haven’t changed too much like most of the people in this platform.
Guava Juice is one of the most significant examples, he used to get millions of views per video, but slowly got less and less views, till he got less than 50k on average. It’s sad, hopefully one day the algorithm flips and gives the opportunity for those shrinking big creators to get back their views! *Your doing an AMAZING job OB!!!* ❤️😜
I discovered Camodo by his StormWorks video's almost 8 years ago .. then after about a year i noticed some of the videos he did with you and or Spy and since then I've been watching and enjoying all three of your guys content and i think almost all of us can agree even if we're new or old viewers we all love your content simply because your being yourself and i think most UA-camrs quitting the platform is because of a reason you said in the video.. you have to balance your views and happiness.. and a lot of UA-camrs aren't doing that... And thats what all of us enjoy you being yourself... So whatever you do Keep going and never give up on what you enjoy even if your not the absolute best at it. ❤
I like your purple hair. Also it is perfectly understandable. But another thing you should keep in mind is with ever video there is always going to be at least one person who is smiling and having a great time watching the video and you just made there day. And if you ever just need breaks from doing one thing or another then it is always good to take that break but as long as you're happy ofc. And as long as you are happy we will be happy and just know that there are still over a million people who are here for you no matter what and no matter what you decide to do next. I love you (nothing weird ofc) and your videos so keep up the amazing work and loved hearing you speak today.
Thanks lol! The purple hair was an accident, but I think it came out good haha. But yeah, you are totally correct with what you said. I might try to give myself a break from time to time again, just to see how it feels haha. Love you all
Used to watch you and spy years ago play Gmod and stuff, it really is unfortunate for a lot of youtubers that views on long form content are starting to drop off, and for a small content creator like me that has a harder time hitting the algorithm, I feel this slowdown of content greatly affects us a lot, but the amount of expectation that is put on larger youtubers only for them to do badly is even worse stress that does not need to be there. I wish you and everyone getting into CC good luck in the future, and enjoy yourself
I understand it’s hard being a UA-camr, but hopefully the group doesn’t break apart. I remember the good old days when you guys were doing scooby doo adventures and all that cartoon cat . Yeah that was fun. Anyway hopefully you can still have fun and make videos. You did not fall off.
OB, you're my absolute favorite UA-camr. When you, Camodo and Spy post the same video, I always go out of my way to watch yours first. When you aren't in a collab that they post, I sometimes won't even watch their videos. It just doesn't feel the same without you. You have the best personality, and just make it easy for me to relax and step away from reality. I'm not sure what's wrong with views and the algorithm, but don't let it get to you! I know I'm not speaking for myself when I say that my content consumption wouldn't be the same without you.
"See, my line goes down too" 💀 Seriously though, I really appreciate when you and Camodo pull back the curtain on things with your channels. I know I'm not the target audience, but I thoroughly enjoy your content and Camodo's. If my comment tells you anything, let it tell you how much I greatly appreciate you as a content creator.
Great video. The stark truth of UA-cam right now. Older viewers are growing up and newer viewers have grown up with tiktok etc. that has created a world of short form content and low attention spans..those older viewers might come back with their kids later on though. Keep being you and go as long as you enjoy it bud 👍
I mainly only watch your collab videos. The videos with all three of you are the funniest. The ATS vids with Camodo are super good too. Don't stop collabs.
I watch everything you do!! Camodo too! I love your voice, it usually makes me laugh and I get happy, when my mom died I couldn't watch anything or do anything but one day I turned on UA-cam and saw one of your videos with camodo and I laughed for the first time in a year so thank you, you touch people with humor and that's important ❤❤
I am 13 and I have been watching the group for maybe about 3-4 years probably longer and I loved watching I would get excited every time you guys upload it’s awesome but I have been growing up but I still do watch your guys videos just not as much. Some of us just grow older and that’s ok. People with come after me watch your videos maybe as long as I did
I have been watching gamers and gaming videos for literally decades. I have watched similar introspective videos from other gamers, and it always comes down to " do what makes you happy," When you are happy, that happiness shows, and the viewers feel it. What you are doing is hard work, and I greatly appreciate having an OB video to watch at the end of my work day.
Hello! I'm trying to respond to most of the comments, but there are SO many lol!
Sorry if I scared some of you. Don't worry, I have no plans on quitting.. but I might take a break here and there (only for a few days, if I need one)
I love and respect all of you. Thanks so much for being here. Thanks so much for all the support.
👇🏼help OB get back on top gang
So glad your not leaving ob you and spy and comodo were my child hood and even know iv grown I still pop in and watch always love the vids
Thanks for mentioning that because I was really scared because I watched you for 7 years so thanks for mentioning that’s 🙏😃
Take all the time you need OB
Man, you and Jelly were the start of my childhood, it was you that brought me to Camodo, and I can only thank you so many times for helping me see other creators
It’s okay to take breaks every once and awhile. Also we love the Collabs and I have been watching you for 7 years and I know you’ve been doing this for longer so I am surprised a video like this did not come sooner. Just hang in there.
sorry i missed your donation!! Thank you so much!
Hi ob I loved to come sit down and listen to you talk about youtube rather than the daily gameplay, this is something thats great for me as i've been aging throughout watching your content and the roleplay style of content has been falling off for me as i mature. I hope for the best to come to you because you're a deserving person, good luck!
Man you did not hear some of the video
He talked about its a risk of changing content and leaving out the people who still like it
im not talking about the video neccesarily but about my experience with watching beautiful ob over the years
I believe UA-cam shorts should be a separate website/app, so that short form content can remain separate from long form! That way shorts UA-camrs can have a platform, and long form creators can have a better chance at getting noticed!
Yeah I agree ❤
It would be like tik tok is the only thing
@Kittylover244 tik tok is being banned on January 19, so UA-cam shorts might become its own app.
I think this would be a great Idea as well.
I agree with that.
I'm 42 and my whole family loves watching your videos
w
Thats awesome.. 👍
The algorithm is definitely slowing down. It's getting harder to find good videos these days. But I still love your content and keep up the good work
It is hard to find some good videos nowadays.
So, I can't speak on the UA-camrs who were shown in this video because I don't watch their content, but I do have at least two theories as to why UA-camrs are going down in views.
First, Shorts, these days people have really SHORT attention spans, they only want to watch 10 secs of something and then they want to move on to something else. When they decide to click on a longform video, and they get bored because they want to move on to something else, they click off the video in less than 30 secs which isn't good for the UA-camr who uploaded that video.
Second, gaming videos, specifically Let's Plays, the type of gaming videos that for example you and I do. As you said in this video, gaming videos are just on the low right now and I feel that is particularly true with the Let's Plays portion of gaming videos, maybe kids these days don't want to watch someone play a game while talking, who really knows.
Regardless of whether or not your video does well as long as you enjoy making them then keep making them unless you're doing UA-cam for a living and a particular video did SUPER BAD then you would need to make necessary adjustments to keep food on the table but if it's just a little bad then meh, keep doing what you're doing.
Also, I'm going to take your advice and not look at my views and analytics anymore because every time I see those low views, and most of my videos are low in views, it makes me not want to make videos anymore and I don't want to feel that way anymore.
Hope you're doing well, same to Spy and Camodo. Have a great day OB.
This is exactly what I was about to say,I strongly agree with you. Most people I see on UA-cam are always on shorts. Ever since they came out I have noticed a massive drop many UA-camrs views.
I hope you do well, man!
You’re the best!
Jelly said it was because his friends left him out and he wanted to do solo content even though then he formed a duo with someone he used to play with and his friends invited him to play with them and react but he said no
Sorry it took so long to respond lol!
Your theories are spot on though. Things are just down across the board, with no fix on the horizon, but that doesnt mean we need to quit! Just do what we do, and keep our heads held high!
I can't type or write nearly as good as you, and now im feeling self conscious about my spacing and ability to form sentences, lol.
Here’s something, OB, because of your videos on both channels a while back, it actually helped me get back into UA-cam… and because of that, it gave me some motivation and insight to push past my own dilemmas and it gave me the confidence to make songs about my life, thoughts and feelings and because of that, I’ve made a fair amount of progress with my channel ❤
Not only you, OB but a few other creators too that helped me retain my channel 😊
"at the end of the day who really cares". I'll tell you what, I do! I have been watching you for years with my 4 boys. Your videos make me laugh, and it's how we start our day! We sit down together, turn on UA-cam and watch your new video before they go to school. Then later at night I watch your dark OB video! Keep doing what YOU want and what makes YOU happy! At the end of the day that's what matters the most!
Thanks so much!! That sounds like such a fun morning routine btw.. I need to have kids so I can enjoy stuff like that haha.
Tell your boys I said hello and that I truely appreciate them watching!
@@BeautifulOB Thank you so much! This made them so happy to hear you said hello, like you made their year if not more 😁. Thank you! And I saw your post about worrying people, I'm not worried you might quit. Just wanted to show our support for you and pass some good positive vibes your way! Keep up the great work OB! You make so many people happy doing what you do! We will keep supporting and watching no matter what!
@@BeautifulOB from what I heard UA-cam change their settings a little bit so it's more harder to make videos like gaming videos and stuff that's why I really don't post on mine cuz I noticed that too with my channel
@@BeautifulOBhi OB how are you doing today Tell Camodo I said hi to him and merry Christmas
Hi dad
I have a similar feeling with the “youtube doesnt feel the same”
Its getting harder to find actually good videos.
@@Kiwi_Bird16 honestly bro !!
yeah i know right it just doesnt feel all the same now
Most of the things I see now are brainrot stuff
ye
I have a couple of creators that I am really loyal to, but since I have been watching them for a decade now they have all started talking about what retirement looks like.
To let you know one member of your audience. I am a 60 year old man who has been watching you from the first time i heard your voice in a Stick Fight game. I was watching Gray Still Plays video of Stick Fight and I had to find out who all these great personalities were. I have watched every video you and the others have done since. I will always continue watching. Thank you for memorable content!
It is hard to hear that UA-camrs are having trouble trying to please everyone in today’s society. And as kids get older the UA-camrs are losing hope and feel maybe a sense of failure. I love your points here Mr. OB and I hope that you will continue to succeed. As I was growing up your videos were always so fun and they brought me so much joy. And I also want to see that happen to other kids nowadays.
OB I really needed this video. There's so many points that you brought up that I can speak to. I've been noticing my channel has been taking a hit since August even tho I'm basically doing the same thing, if not improved over the last year. I assumed it was bc school started back up, and that may be a reason. But I had no idea other channels were seeing similar effects. I noticed I was getting more reactionary and scrambling to post more or update my thumbnails. But I was luckily able to step back. Since I have a full time job, one, it allowed me to be able to step back and not feel obligated to UA-cam. And two, part of my strategy was to take that risk you mentioned and try growing with my audience over the years as I ride this full time job along with YT until the wheels fall off.
This was really reassuring for me, not only on the basis that you noticed this trend affecting other creators, but also about the comparisons and competitive feelings creeping up with your peers. Although I don't have creator friends, those feelings definitely creep up for me as well when I see other channels. I feel like there's so much more I can say... If you have a platform for videos like these on a Patreon or Channel Membership where you continue to discuss about more of these types of things - let me know! I'd be happy to pay to listen in. It truly is helpful for me.
O.B, I’ve been watching you since I was 6 years old, and now, 5 years later, I’m 11. Your videos have always made me smile, laugh, and feel inspired. You’re my favorite UA-camr, and I’m so happy to see everything you’ve achieved.
I also love ItsFunneh she’s my second favorite UA-camr but you’ll always be my number one. I even make music videos on Roblox, and while they’re not inspired by anyone, I still look up to you so much.
Keep up the amazing work! We’re all so proud of you, and I can’t wait to see what you do next. You’re awesome, O.B! 🦋❤️
This is a heartwarming comment 💔☺️
For an 11 year old your sentences are more grammatically correct then I would've thought. Nice.
It's kinda sad seeing youtubers leave, man like matpat and other youtubers. I'm thinking of quitting, but when I see your content, I wanna keep going, man
Thanks for the help
Godbless❤❤❤
Whatever happens we will always be there for you never quit bro. l also know that you're channel is going down but atleast you're og fans are always here for you❤
I watched the video we all care about you. When I was also little l used to hate you because of your voice acting and singing but now you are my favourite youtuber Don't worry about anything at the end of the day the people who love will always be there for you❤❤ atleast somebody will care 😊 among 8billion people nobody caring is impossible don't quit or leave the group 🏆😭😭😢 champ.
I hope this video does well, more UA-camrs should be up front about things like this
I’ll always support you ob ❤
Everything was just never the same after the pandemic, UA-cam years before pandemic was the best. I wish we can just experience through it one last time... I wish you the best Beautiful O.B.!
I've also been a fan since 2017, been here since the very beginning!
I can completely relate to this, OB. I was a content creator in the gaming podcast space (2014 until just a couple months ago) and struggled with engagement and listens near the end to the point where it felt like work and not fun anymore. So, I stopped and I'm now developing other content I want to do. Maybe some Let's Plays, maybe some YT Shorts... all I care about is that I'm creating something! Being an older viewer, I tend to enjoy your Dark OB content more, just because I love janky horror games and I can tell you're genuinely having a great time playing them too, so I may do something similar.
I hope you keep up the collabs! They may not get as many views, but being a big BeamNG fan, I discovered you through a trail of Neilogical > Camodo > OB, so they really do work! And when it comes to stuff like Phasmo, I'll always watch it from your perspective because I prefer face-cams and stuffed animal rescues :)
Lastly, I definitely feel like Shorts has eaten into the longform UA-camr market. My youngest kid is 13 and they grew up with long vids from Ssundee and DanTDM etc, but now the mostly just put their shorts feed on and scroll through that while doing homework. It's a shame in my opinion because Shorts quality is kind of poopy at best.
Sorry for the long comment, I just had a lot of thoughts on your thoughts, and wanted to share. Please stay true to your vision, be mindful of burnout, and give yourself a loud YEAH YEAH YEAH for everything you've accomplished so far!
Thanks man! I'm sorry to hear you was having a hard time, but happy you're finding more enjoyment in a different style of content!
( I too tend to enjoy Dark OB more lol!)
I 100% intend to keep the collabs going, they are honestly my favorites parts of recording every week!
Sorry if I dont respond super intelligently, my brain is a bit fried today haha.
Hey, OB. First and foremost, thank you for sharing a point of view from a content creator on how things are and how yall feel. We as subscribers can easily get illusioned by yalls success or lack thereof and tend to forget the human behind it. As a subscriber to several of your friends and peers and as i sit here and read some of the comments from various youtubers. I thank you for staying strong and for inspiring others to stay strong as well. I love watching your group and other groups from each person's perspective in their videos because not everything is seen in one or two of the collaborative videos. Please keep going and staying who you are. You are helping to inspire the next generation of youtubers, and who knows, you might just inspire the next big hit! I can't wait to see!
You are an amazing person and watching your content as I grew up throughout the pandemic actually game me inspiration... same with Camodo and Spy. I have been extremely busy with school lately however, and it has been a real struggle to get things done now. I will still always come back to watch your videos because you gave me that hope that I desperately needed. Graduating in 2026 is still a scary thought for me. You are an amazing person O.B, but life has taken me away from your content and the rest of the guys. I hope you read this and see the inspiration you have brought to me. Have a good day!
Fitting how this was posted right when Cory came back from UA-cam after a year-long hiatus, turning his average rate of videos into like 1 video per year
I love when you do collaborations, I just watch it from there videos because its hilarious seeing you flying across the screen.
UA-cam really isn't working for smaller creators, its hard out here.
And UA-cam changing Animation is now a good source of content now because it takes so long to make, and UA-cam doesn't promote it anymore.
So my content is just not working anymore
I feel you, OB
Yeah its REALLY hard to start a new channel now. Theres just way to much competition. Sorry you're having a hard time with it, but keep trying! Things on UA-cam change constantly, and it might start promoting you soon!
I started watching after seeing you in a Comodo video. now I prefer and look forward to your content over others. I loved your silent hill and resident evil videos. Keep doing what you love your videos keep getting better every day and your happiness shows. thank you
aw thank you so much!
Dont think about that OB we love you we'll be here to support you always I've been watching u since 2016.
I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say this, it’s about nastalja we grew up watching you, Camodo, and spy. We grew up watching you guys, and we returned because it was our childhood.
Well this make me want to get back to my old yt channel (i didn't touch it for a year now) Thanks OB for this video, I been watching your video since i was 7 (i believe you are doing tabz video with spy at that time) im 15 now. Keep making great gameplay video OB :)
You should! UA-cam can be a VERY rewarding experience!
My son and I have been watching you, Camodo, and Spycakes for a few years now. There are certain games you all play that we like to watch on certain channels, though a lot of the times we watch the same video on multiple. Idk the UA-cam grind cost/benefit, all I can say is we enjoy you content and hope to see you making it for years .... Btw I'm 49 and my son is 7 for your age demo stats.
This is why you are my favorite youtuber Ob :) You don't care in the end if you aren't making as much views as other youtubers you just want to have a good time
O.B. it’s difficult for bigger creators like yourself to get that motivation sometimes. But it’s even more difficult for even smaller creators like myself trying to come up with video ideas, thumbnails, and having the motivation to record the video knowing that there’s no reward or income we just have to guess how it’s going to do and hope it thrives and eventually to be at your spot or beyond it. You and the group are some of my motivation, and I look up to your videos on how to become a better creator. So keep up the good work!
As a small creator (tiny infact), i too struggled with having the motivation
It's my first time to see ob talking about other people's channel i totally get it ob we all r with u ❤❤
As someone who streams warthunder A LOT and I have hit this same problem, but it's not views, its just that playing the same game over and over again kills ya. So I had to ask what other games the guys wanted me to play. Sometimes you just gotta find something new to play.
I know you and CAMODO played warthunder before but I'd really like to see you guys do more with that. Please please please. Maybe even do some colabs with viewers. Trust me that works and helps a lot
I started watching you, comodo, and Spy in kindergarten, and now I'm in grade 8, so from 5 years to 13 years old, you guys are my favorite UA-camrs, and I will never stop watching your videos keep up the wonderful work ❤️
The best way is to take people's like and also learn from others so you're a mix of everyone and when someone they like what down but you are the almost the exact same they come to you
OB dont quit, you are an amazing content creator, amazing videos, probably one of the oldest channels on the platform, and if you want i can help. Have a good winter time OB!
OB - I love all your videos. My 11 year old daughter and I watch ALL of them. And we watch the collabs on YOUR channel, even though we love Spy and Camodo as well.
We also love Dark OB!
I'm not a creator, but I also feel like youtube doesn't feel the same.
Praying for you, brother.
Thank you!! I love you both too, thank you so much
@BeautifulOB Yw! Thank YOU for providing a fun and entertaining way for my daughter and I to spend time together! Seriously. ❤️
HEY OB! I starting watching you when I was 6 I am now 15 I have stayed with you all these years! And I won’t leave as long as you’re still posting! Love you man!❤
I personally watch all three of you guys even if its the same vid it just feels like a whole different video, and yeah i also feel the same about not getting views but just having fun with your bros.
OB, I've been watching you and the boyz for years. Since I was little, and every time I was struggling, your videos with commit and spy have always been my joy. I love your collab videos and you! You're literally what entertains me, it's so funny hearing you and comodo's and spy's interactions. 😂 I love your guys ATS videos.
Thanks!! We'll have plenty more collabs to come :D!
Just like you talking about youtubers taking time, I took time from watching you since your guy's content watch mainly for younger audiences; however, I believe I could start watching everything repeatedly again instead of every-now-and-then
haha dont force ya self though! I totally get it, my personality isnt for everyone and I can be annoying/cringy and overwhelming lol.
@BeautifulOB not always, thanks for replying! Last time one of yall replied was Spy or Camodo like a year ago
Ive been watching yall for 6 years. Grew up on yall and while I mostly watch thing’s like beamng I still love yall.
Love you kindness and appreciation and respect for the other creators so stay well God bless because Jesus is with you and love your videos
I sleep while your playlist being played on both here and dark ob.. I would say I really enjoy your videos so much.. I enjoy watching you play and goof around being yourself ob. Even if it collab or solo I would always support you and keep watching your videos! Thank you for always making greats videos and enjoying playing the games
Aw thanks so much!! I really appreciate it
13:20 I had no clue you could change thumbnails after uploading, I thought I was going insane seeing a video I had watched but not recognising the thumbnail!
I've been watching your videos since I was, I think 13 or 14 maybe even before that. I'm 19 now. You've become a pivotal part of my life. I can confidently say that you're my favorite UA-camr. I mean that. ❤
OB is such a chill guy.
The new generation of UA-camrs may becoming in the next few years or may already be here along with a new generation of games and content❤
Yoo thank you so much for the donation!! I really appreciate it!!
@@BeautifulOB You're welcome
Oh no! 5:28 People like you 😢don't fall down yourself 😢people are with you ❤
Yeah including me 🙂
I love your channel for your personality, game choices. Your personality is fun🎉 I started to watch your channel since 2017-2018 and i hope you dont quit❤️
Awe OB. I love your videos, even at 33! You're the first one I watch, then would typically watch Camodo and Spycakes to support them as well.
I'm 26 fixing to be 27 and I still enjoy watching your videos OB, just as much as I enjoy watching Comodo's and 8bit Ryan. You 3 along with Markiplier are my go to when I wanna watch a video, and I plan on continuing to watch y'alls content because I enjoy it.
No way?! Never thought I'd be mentioned alongside the likes of Markiplier haha! Thats a huge boost of motivation to me lol, thank you!
@@BeautifulOB Thank you for brightening up my days and making me laugh. If it wasn't for you guys my days would just be terrible and stressful. Watching you guys relive stress I have from work and daily life.
PLEASE DONT QUIT IM HERE FOR YOU JUST IN CASE YOU ARE
Dw bro he won't👍. Just look at the description and it'll make u happy :D
@ ok but promise me
@ippo-b7i he'll do whatever makes him happy and I am positive he will continue to make content :)
@@phantomjay9955 ok!
This video shows how much you personally loves people you look up to and your fans and friends but yet a sad video
I found you maddox
As an outsider looking in - I'm subscribed to all you guys, when its a collaboration video if one video is live (long) before the other POVs I watch the one that came live first simply to watch the content. That said, if they all come up together I try to watch your channel POV first as you always have to "root for the little guy" :) You're like Rocky OB, keep fighting upward, don't let it get you down. Collabs help people find your channel, but its your solo videos that make them stay.
love you and your vids bruz, you seem like a lovely, genuine dude. keep doing what you're doing lovely man face
Plz don't leave ob your a great UA-camr
I saw the title of the video and i nearly had a heart attack, its perfectly fine to take breaks and stuff, i personally prefer the collab vids, your videos are great, the thing i blame the most for these issues with utubers is youtube shorts and growing up 😢, keep up the great work
As someone who goes through the same thing, but is on MUCH smaller numbers... This video could not have come at a better time.
Thank you.
yo random minds love ur beam stuff
@cryololphosaurus thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it 🙂
Yo! I was having a hard time trying to find your channel. I'm glad you posted on here I enjoy watching the whole gang from different points of views. Great mods mate!
dude ngl caseoh is going strong i hope he stays like that i think caseoh is like that for playing other games not just 1
I've never watched one of your videos. This just popped up in my recommended. But I 100% agree with you! People grow out of content and the new generation may not care so much. Its the natural way of life and now UA-cam is getting older with every year, we see the hype the once filled it slowly dropping as its just the norm now. But those times were good and interesting during the 2010's.
My Imagination is big you could try to ask me I can give some crazy suggestions
OB, no matter where you go if you decide to do things solo, do stuff with friends, or even leave the youtube career all together, I still thank you for the content that you give and your fun personality that you display. Your amazing, don't forget that.
Hi ob I’m a fan
Ob. I'm going to be honest, i don't think anyone that watches your videos are kids anymore. we just love watching you and your content. You won't believe how much people you inspire. Like your fan game all those years ago. Keep it up old friend 😊
You, Spy, and Camodo all inspired me to start youtube you 3 are pretty much the only people i watch. If you ever need a break from youtube you take one! we will be here when you return!
I first ever saw a video that conrained you when i was like 4 or 5, and im 12 now, and i still love all your content, i want you to know that if you ever die down, just believe, try new games occasionally, just stay as entertaining as you are always, because just know, that me and everyone else that watches your channel, love and care about you :)
I might have my days where I'm feeling lazy and won't watch a video that I see even if it interests me, but I know I'm still going to support that person's content eventually. I've been watching you, Camodo, and Spycakes for a while and I can understand how hard it is for you guys to make videos. I probably would get in the notion of making a video and then after a couple of minutes of brainstorming, I throw the idea out the window. Basically all I want to say is, if you or any other youtuber out there needs to take a break, take a break. Don't ever work yourself into a burnout.
OB I love this style of you just sitting talking! Honestly I'm happy to watch all the content you make, my personal favourites are your longer ones on DarkOB and wobbly life! I've even got my young cousin watching your beautiful OB channel 😁 make content that makes you happy! You deserve all the views and likes 💖💖💖
OB, I don't care how much you change, I love every single of your videos. I totally respect if you take breaks. You have a family that needs you. And I'm glad you arnt leaving. You did scare me lol. Love you bud
lol sorry I scared ya!
I loved the way you put it and the fact that you’re right. I love your videos you just need to do what makes you happy.❤
You are the best UA-camr OB, for the past years you always makes us laugh and more!
Well just know man that we all love you. You have made everyone of our days and those of us who do watch you absolutely enjoy every moment so im glad you got that mindset! Dont care about all that statistical fun, have fun, be you, and stay happy. Quality over Quanity you know? You have plenty of very dedicated fans to you for sure and that is awesome, like me for example im a very dedicated fan, for years you have been one of my favorite youtubers. At the end of the day though stats are just numbers, the quantity, it dont matter that much! We lova ya man
I truly think the reason why your Stormworks videos are lower than the rest is simply because people know those videos through their channels. For example, in the beginning, I would only watch Stormworks videos that you were on! BUT I watched them on Comodo's channel. Because I knew to go to him for Stormworks videos and other simulation like videos (which are my preference). I have since started watching all Stormworks videos through your channel to support you and to promote you to continue doing them. But, I don't think the average viewer thinks about that. I am not personally a fan of Wobbly Life, Garrys Mod, or the Daddy videos, but love your personality and lover your content when you do, do the simmy like games. I just know most people go to Comodo's channel for that. It really is a catch 22. Best of luck! I will always continue to support you!
OB u gotta make it emotional, im not crying ur crying. This is why OB u are one of my favourites ur honest and entertaining, and the reason i still watch youtube. Even if view are low, remember i will be here, and one of the those views is me.
Great video and I would love more of "this". Also, I hope you and Camodo will continue your murder spree in Cottage Simulator. I really appreciate it when you and Camodo do slightly more mature audience videos. I am fast approaching 50 so there's that..
You were my first gamer youtuber, and you're the only one I still watch. You'll always be my favorite.❤
Good insights. Love your content, whether it's solo or collab. Keep up the good work OB!
OB, these videos are always helpful, especially for new youtubers like what I'm trying to do and it helps with an insight of what could happen going forward. And potentially doing a collab one day and solo the other would help. Might help with preventing quick burnouts and keep your relations strong with the boys. And as for breaks, take what you need. I could go on forever with comforting and insightful things to hopefully help boost your confidence in what you do. Love you, my guy, and always put your best foot forward ❤❤❤
We appreciate you for explaining this, and I believe most of us fans will accept any decision you take, the same way you want us to be happy, we want you to be happy as well.
Yes we all usually get bored it, but we always look back, cause you and every creators have always give joy and entertainment
We understand You Ob but please don't leave if you want to take a break it's okay just don't leave we here for you and this made me cry
O.B, you are a crucial part of my life. You're funny videos got me through the tough times and if you quit, I could understand why. It's been a quick decade I must say and if you quit I would be closing a major chapter in my life. Thank you for everything you have done for me.
Thanks so much, but no worries, I have 0 plans on quitting!
I used to watch and I still watch the old videos by you guys. I was like 8-9 years old and now I’m 15. You may not make the same content, but you’re the same person. You are still one of my favorite content creators. You haven’t changed too much like most of the people in this platform.
Ever since I was 9 years old I was watching your videos ❤
I like watching each perspective of your guys collabs
Guava Juice is one of the most significant examples, he used to get millions of views per video, but slowly got less and less views, till he got less than 50k on average. It’s sad, hopefully one day the algorithm flips and gives the opportunity for those shrinking big creators to get back their views!
*Your doing an AMAZING job OB!!!* ❤️😜
I discovered Camodo by his StormWorks video's almost 8 years ago .. then after about a year i noticed some of the videos he did with you and or Spy and since then I've been watching and enjoying all three of your guys content and i think almost all of us can agree even if we're new or old viewers we all love your content simply because your being yourself and i think most UA-camrs quitting the platform is because of a reason you said in the video.. you have to balance your views and happiness.. and a lot of UA-camrs aren't doing that... And thats what all of us enjoy you being yourself... So whatever you do Keep going and never give up on what you enjoy even if your not the absolute best at it. ❤
I like your purple hair. Also it is perfectly understandable. But another thing you should keep in mind is with ever video there is always going to be at least one person who is smiling and having a great time watching the video and you just made there day. And if you ever just need breaks from doing one thing or another then it is always good to take that break but as long as you're happy ofc. And as long as you are happy we will be happy and just know that there are still over a million people who are here for you no matter what and no matter what you decide to do next. I love you (nothing weird ofc) and your videos so keep up the amazing work and loved hearing you speak today.
Thanks lol! The purple hair was an accident, but I think it came out good haha.
But yeah, you are totally correct with what you said. I might try to give myself a break from time to time again, just to see how it feels haha. Love you all
Used to watch you and spy years ago play Gmod and stuff, it really is unfortunate for a lot of youtubers that views on long form content are starting to drop off, and for a small content creator like me that has a harder time hitting the algorithm, I feel this slowdown of content greatly affects us a lot, but the amount of expectation that is put on larger youtubers only for them to do badly is even worse stress that does not need to be there. I wish you and everyone getting into CC good luck in the future, and enjoy yourself
I understand it’s hard being a UA-camr, but hopefully the group doesn’t break apart. I remember the good old days when you guys were doing scooby doo adventures and all that cartoon cat . Yeah that was fun. Anyway hopefully you can still have fun and make videos. You did not fall off.
Thanks and dont worry, none of us have plans of quitting or seperating the group :D!
I love all your different kinds of videos, Including stormworks and brick rigs
OB, you're my absolute favorite UA-camr. When you, Camodo and Spy post the same video, I always go out of my way to watch yours first. When you aren't in a collab that they post, I sometimes won't even watch their videos. It just doesn't feel the same without you. You have the best personality, and just make it easy for me to relax and step away from reality. I'm not sure what's wrong with views and the algorithm, but don't let it get to you! I know I'm not speaking for myself when I say that my content consumption wouldn't be the same without you.
"See, my line goes down too" 💀 Seriously though, I really appreciate when you and Camodo pull back the curtain on things with your channels. I know I'm not the target audience, but I thoroughly enjoy your content and Camodo's. If my comment tells you anything, let it tell you how much I greatly appreciate you as a content creator.
Great video. The stark truth of UA-cam right now. Older viewers are growing up and newer viewers have grown up with tiktok etc. that has created a world of short form content and low attention spans..those older viewers might come back with their kids later on though. Keep being you and go as long as you enjoy it bud 👍
I mainly only watch your collab videos. The videos with all three of you are the funniest. The ATS vids with Camodo are super good too. Don't stop collabs.
I watch everything you do!! Camodo too! I love your voice, it usually makes me laugh and I get happy, when my mom died I couldn't watch anything or do anything but one day I turned on UA-cam and saw one of your videos with camodo and I laughed for the first time in a year so thank you, you touch people with humor and that's important ❤❤
I am 13 and I have been watching the group for maybe about 3-4 years probably longer and I loved watching I would get excited every time you guys upload it’s awesome but I have been growing up but I still do watch your guys videos just not as much. Some of us just grow older and that’s ok. People with come after me watch your videos maybe as long as I did
we love you OB, and we always will 🥰
I have been watching gamers and gaming videos for literally decades. I have watched similar introspective videos from other gamers, and it always comes down to " do what makes you happy," When you are happy, that happiness shows, and the viewers feel it. What you are doing is hard work, and I greatly appreciate having an OB video to watch at the end of my work day.
Thanks! I honestly just need a break probably, like a week off completely from UA-cam. Something I havent done in nearly a decade haha.
