Frrrrrrr
people still get scared by clickbait in 2024?
Fr my heart sunk for a moment
@@SwitchMaxFX Yes
Joey has mastered the art of making us scared with the titles
really? did he?
yes, he did@@MustBeAStandUser
clickbait
Yes.
yea its called clickbait lmao
I think youtubers retiring in 2024 is just a natural progression: youtubers are getting married, having children, and maturing beyond the platform in ways that *require* them to retire to focus on their own lives.
Many of these people retiring are in their late 30s or older and have been around making content in some way since 2009-2012. I would probably want a break too if I was making videos for over a decade.
Also, the ad revenue will keep coming in for years, so they don't really need to create more. Also a factor.
UA-cam is also really harsh when you do need a break, it awards you when you upload consistently, hence why daily december is a popular thing. When you upload inconsistently or take a longer break, then you get punished as your contented gets shown less. This job is not to underestimate, especially if you get a family.
@@coolbrotherf127 i think some of these youtubers are retiring because even though they might have 1mil plus subscribers, their channels are dying - 20-30k views per video when they used to get 500k - 1mil views.
anyway, saying one is retiring at because you've been running a youtube business for 10 years is bizarre. People, that is 'regular people', with businesses and careers do those jobs for the rest of their lives.
Butchers, plumbers, electricians, lawyers, dentists, pilots - people don't go 'i've been running my business for 10 years therefor now i'm closing it down'.
How does that make sense. You don’t retire just because you had married or had children.
Matpat and Tom Scott got me scared for anyone 💀
Tom said when he was going to stop ages ago so it wasn't surprising
Breaking News, Moist Critical has just retired.
@@consensus688 Yeah, but it was still sad though.
@@sirteabag8652 he's the kind of guy to make videos in his 80s
this is just youtube, don't be scared
Thank you for letting us walk Joey🙏🏽
They did NOT see the vid 🤣
TheAnimeMen put the bg of their page "We watch Anime" So that people can't be mistaken to someone with similar name but doesn't watch anime anymore 😂
Joey is just one of you it seems
@@ricko.a786 they have it rn
I legitimately though he commented on his own video until I reread the username lol
After Matpat and seeing everyone retiring I'm just scared at this point.
Generations rise and fall... this is sad, but normal.
Kai cenat next
This will be the first generation of youtubers officially retiring from this platform. It's just a one and nearly half a decade old platform. So understandable @@Remember_Bubblebutt
I came to this video after the Matpat video and it scared me so bad
@@ParthaUA-cam09UA-cam is almost 20 years old, that's 2 decades. The oldest youtubers began as teens and people in theirs 20s. They are now in their 30s and 40s. There are people who started watching youtube when they were 16 or 17 years old and are now 35 or 36 years old. The millennials are figuratively getting old...
Between Joey and Aki, I’m genuinely tired of the clickbait videos.
Sadly it's needed. Gone are the days where they don't have to do that to make ends meet 😢
@@Momoko524 totally agree!
I agree. Half the time it makes me less likely to watch
How is "UA-camrs are Retiring" clickbait? The video is about the fact that UA-camrs... are retiring. Nothing in the title insinuated he was too.
@@CrashDunningthe title previously said “I’m retiring” and then he changed titles a few hours later
I saw the title and didn't think Joey was gonna retire. But I figured this would address future plans or something.
Same I figured he wasn't going to retire yet.
Edit:I actually went the wrong way and thought he was gonna stream more, but he hardly streams at all 😂
Same. I guess lots of people have reading comprehension issues, lol. I just wanted to hear his thoughts.
@@chibichibi51His original titles was retiring as a UA-camr. How is that on people have no reading comprehension? It was obvious clickbait and he now changed it.
He really got us in the first half not gonna lie
It's crazy how content creators are starting to get retired on UA-cam, 2024 seems like a year for retirements for long running content creators. (And yes... I know the title startled us in case I was serious lol)
Yeah I just see Matpat message before retiring as well as Tom Scott will be retiring. Very sad
MooSnuckel as well from "The Vanoss Crew"
but WHY? :(
creators*
I mean it all started because back in the day the grind was worth it. You got paid a decent amount and had way more freedom than before.
Cartoonists could skip the studio or broadcast tv producers and could just earn money uploading their cartoons on youtube. Not so much anymore. Now youtube perpetuates trash.
Totally spot-on with the perspective. It shows a lot of maturity and understanding that content creation isn't the end-all, be-all of life. Passion shifts, and it's okay and necessary to adapt and move on when needed. Massive respect to all retiring creators. Their legacy will undoubtedly inspire the next generation.
He is not quitting. You're welcome
I hate clickbait titles.
It's not a clickbait title really since all the events that have been going on, im pretty sure everyone once they saw the title knew what he was referring to and was gonna discuss. Plus you can interpet it as "Retiring From UA-cam" the subject... otherwise it would have been titled "I'm retiring from youtube"@@cadburyyork5052
Thanks man.
@@EspeonMistress00he changed the title
@@EspeonMistress00 The old title was "Retiring as a UA-camr"
Bro u scared the shit out of me. I just woke up midnight to pee and almost had a heart attack.
Meatcanyon's retirement is much more of stepping from fulltime animation and grinding his 2nd channel where he talks about movies and news etc
yep, he's still active. just on other channels. fyi: he's collaborating with wendigoon on Creep Cast.
When I was 18, I had spent the prior 6 years "knowing" that I was going to go down one path in life when my choice of university didn't accept me. Now at 30 years old, I am looking at the last 12 years and wondering if I should be changing my path again to a third option.
The expectations we have of people to stick to one thing from the time they graduate high school until they retire can be exhausting, and I hope anyone that can step away from such a soul-draining career eventually finds peace and subsistence. Not just for Matpat, but for all of us.
I spent the last 7 to 8 years working at an office job and now I'm in my early 30s. I quit. I had a lot of mental breakdowns in 2023. I got my parents to go back to (not married yet, I'm one of the privileged) and now looking to change my career path. Still looking. I can't do the high demanding office job anymore. I can't risk myself anymore for pay outs that idk if I can get. Believe me, my Boss asked me to think about it, to stay and continue the job but he doesn't promise me my promotion or salary increment at all. Just MORE work (disguised as an opportunity to learn). And I can't take it anymore. More work on top of a lot of work that I already have now. I just... can't. Now in the middle of the night, I feel so desperate and lonely. I don't have a job anymore. I have savings for like half a year and that's it. I'm actively looking for a less demanding job but even then the recruiters are skeptical about why the sudden change. At this point idk what to do anymore. I can't see a way out. So what you said there is very kind. Idc if I work as a non professional job as long as I'm happy and not stressed out. The focus right now is just me and my own health and family ofc. My parents are my everything right now being very supportive.
Haha..who knows, maybe I can do business where I can accompany lonely old people so they can be less lonely. Like talking to them in the evenings, take a walk with them and so on..
@@FarayukiDiro Sorry to hear that. I hope life gets better for you! Maybe learn a few skills or hobbies to keep you occupied here and there lol. AI is becoming all the rage these days, so you should try to learn more about it and leverage your work with it.
But then again, it's your life. So it's your choice where you want to go!
It does seem like everyone is retiring now. I completely understand wanting to leave on a high note while you still love things and aren’t totally burned out but it doesn’t make it any less sad. I guess that’s what seems to be the option though considering nowadays either your favourite UA-camr retired/quit or turns out did something awful/cancelable and disappears. I wish all the retiring creators the best in there endeavours.
You had us at the beginning man. Thank you for not retiring just yet. 😭
The hardest part of them leaving is that it feels like losing a friend. Parasocial relationships truely are a bitch
Great thoughts man. Retirement might seem sad, but at the end of the day, it's for the best to have people live their lives as they need. Burnout is scary and not ending at a good note in your career is even scarier. Retireing should be seen as getting the break one deserves. I hope we see the day you retire Joey. Don't strain yourself but reward yourself, because you're awesome.
I hate this type of clickbait, and it's last time it's gonna work on me, I swear
He has done a lot and established a legacy channel. Hope he gets to spend lots of time with his family.
Knew 100% that Joey was just getting us interested with the video title, not getting ready to jump off the platform.
"getting us interested". lol, it's called clickbait and low-quality creators use it, IMO. take that as you will, I guess.
Damn Joey you gave me a heart attack and I completely agree with what you said
PLEASE DON'T GIVE US A DAMN HEARTATTACK LIKE THAT!!!! We are already losing so many!
Hahahah true
I once heard the average UA-camr career lasts 3-5 years. Most creators don’t make 1 year because they expect their channel to explode in a few weeks or months and be rolling in the money like they are the next Mr. beast, only to realize it’s no where near that easy. It takes a great deal of time and effort to become successful on YT. I have nothing but respect for anyone whose channel is successful and lasts even a few years. Even more respect to those whose career lasts even longer than 5 years.
I almost thought this was real with Tom Scott, Matpat, Captain Sparkle and anthro quitting this year. This had to be on purpose.
Tom Scott gave everyone a years notice he was stepping back from his main channel at the end of 2023, so his was definitely planned!
@@poodlemuffinyeah, its kinda funny how quiet people were a year ago when he first declared his intent. So many reacting now like it came out of nowhere or something
Fr
@@ravenwraith1017 can't expect everyone to remember what someone said at whatever point in time. we've got our own lives and won't remember everything we've been told so it's not that surprising that people genuinely forgot and are surprised with the news
It's a real gut punch to me because seeing these youtubers retire is like watching my childhood end. It's a real sobering moment knowing i also have to grow up...
As an older person to youtube standards, i love my ogs, i still watch you and felix and ken regularly. You were part of my teen years and i will always value that. Content creation is so tough but so worth it as were seeing. Hopefully our new generations do as amazing if not more n.n
Man I really thought I was gonna lose 2 people I have been watching for so long in a single day.....
Dont worry yall, around 2:45 in he clarifies he’s not retiring (yet)
I don't usually comment much but this video kind of hits home for me at least as someone who has their channel for more than 13 years and who was an early subscriber of Joey.
The thing with content creation is you always need an idea ready. Not just any idea, something that will make people watch, that is intriguing and interesting. Let's say the idea was made into a video and the video was a hit. The lifetime of said idea is very short. In a week or two, everyone would have moved on, watched something else or just got busy and forgot about it and this is where another idea must be in the making. It is a constant race with time and with how much can you get out of your creative juices which can feel like a chore in the long run especially if you have another job.
I know some younger audiences might feel heartbroken that their favorite youtuber retired, but the process isn't as glorified as the final results seems. Endless hours of editing, typing captions, actually planning the video (Light, location setup which can be strenuous to determine).
Also emptying schedules to film let's say during nighttime for a specific video, lacking sleep, ect.
Personally, I have a job where I research stuff related to science and make up new devices for phones and it is much easier than UA-cam.
Heck I have been on TV twice and it was easier because you only have to do your job and your job only.
It definitely looks like a lot of the old timer UA-camrs are getting warn out and they're definitely getting to the point of retirement. Honestly with a lot of these old timers doing it gor over 10 years and putting over 15 hours a day into it, i cannot say i am surprised.
It's 2 am here, I just finished watching MatPat's video, C'mon man I have never been so scared, I thought all my favorite UA-camrs were retiring, please don't retire like them as well, you got me so scared!
Come on man, don't give us a scare at 2 in the morning. 😂😂
The easiest way to manage your money is to take it one step at a time and not worry about being perfect
Now with the recent economy, To get Financial FREEDOM you have to be making money while you're asleep.
True though unfortunately mine always end up with losses 😭
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Jason appel support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams..
After meeting Mr Jason in the United States, my life changed completely. Yours can change too, it's just a matter of commitment and focus.
Investing has proven to be an incredibly beneficial decision. My cryptocurrency profits continue to play a substantial role in growing my overall wealth, reducing my reliance on my salary
For what it's worth, I hope you continue for a long time yet. You seem to be a fairly level headed man. Hugs to both of you!
Considering how toxic it is being on the internet, specially when it’s one’s job, and the huge mental toll it probably takes, I think it’s very understandable that these creators are choosing to step away, they have a life and other responsibilities and also they have reached a point where they are pretty stable financially to be able to leave.
This gave me a LOT of perspective. I've had to "retire" my channel multiple times and now is the time for reinvention and starting over. Even though I've been in the game for a while.
Fantastic video, Joey. I totally agree. I really respect people who make videos and content. And when you have done it so long, as Joey said. it can be hard to make a video that is your last. I am thankful to the many UA-camrs who have entertained over the years, and thankful to the people who will take over from them. I salute you! o7
Came for the anime. Stayed for the awesome takes using reason. Keep up the excellent work ❤
I'm surprised more top UA-camrs don't do this. Walking away from the platform but leaving all of your content up doesn't have an immediate negative impact. My channel (despite being very small) was dormant for 2 years and my ad revenue dropped to about half of what it was. Theoretically, a big creator could just stop making videos and still earn a LOT of money for many years.
It's also easy enough to start making videos again in a few years. It's "retirement" with a good pension sort of option and the option to come back any time you like.
NO NOT JOEY
Thanks for this video Joey. This is one step of preparing me and maybe others. Not looking forward on not seeing your videos especially the Friday 4pm EST Trash Taste Podcast sessions as well though but will try to cope when the time comes as well.
It is just crazy how much time has passed. We watch these videos and forget that time keeps moving on. Great to see people leave on their own terms.
I still haven't emotionally recovered from MatPat's video, and it's 12 AM right now, and I was about to hit the bed, and then you had to hit me with this video. Very glad that you're not retiring! (yet) 😭
In my late teens and early 20s, I had a moment that I was confronted with the idea of walking away from a sport that I had done for 12 years of my life and I was breaking down daily cause it was due to medical so out of my control a bit. Luckily, I was able to continue but it was definitely a horrible decision to consider. So their ability to walk away from something like that takes a huge amount of strength and will. I thank them for what they've provided to the youtube community.
I feel like it makes sense we are starting to see a lot of creators moving on from the platform/creating content. Not just because things have changed so much on here (which has brought its own struggles with not getting videos demonetized, taken down or simply hidden from the algorithm). Or because they have decided there's simply other passions they are more interested in pursuing. But also, when it comes down to it, many of them have been doing this for 10+ years. I'm sure their lives have changed a lot since then. Many having moved, had kids or had other major life altering things happen. Things that may be making it harder to maintain that sort of schedule.. or even make them no longer want to because priorities have changed. Trends also seem to be moving more towards tiktok and short form content that not everyone is interested in doing. Whatever their reasons for doing so may be I wish them all the best in the future as they transition to other things. I'm sure leaving something you've been a part of for so long must be hard. Even if for the best overall.
Hit on this immediately when I saw it, man was I worried for a sec! Glad to see your final arc isn't that soon, but we'll be here to wish you luck when your end theme and credits start playing. Hope you, Aki, and everyone else are okay after the bumpy start to the year.
Content creation, whether it's videos, art, music, podcasts, voice parodies, gaming, or just all of the above, should always be about you enjoying it first. The creator, that is. I feel like that's THE most important thing to keep in mind, that you like your content and what you're doing too. The audience will come, whether it's for you or for that specific type of content. Can't please everyone after all, and people have their own tastes. And yes, that also means that when and IF someone gets tired of it or just wants to do something else, branch out, or follow a different career for whatever reason they feel like, they're free to call it quits. It's sad for the fans, but it happens. Even celebrities retire someday. It's just how it is in the end, so yeah. I respect everyone's decisions and needs. Just the cycle of life in the end. And that's exactly why stuff like AI makes me mad. Especially the ones who say "with this you can keep your favorite celebrity making content FOREVER" that's just creepy to me. We have to let it go sometime, not keep copying and trying to be the exact copy of someone who came before us. Just kind of how it goes.
We are 10 days in and the year is already horrible😭
UA-camrs retiring are something I have expected to happen but damn it sure hit like a truck when that did happpened. I wish nothing but the best for all those guys
Joey pulled the biggest clickbait that isn't actually a clickbait
It is actully a clickbait. Proper title would be something like "UA-camrs are retiring, what I think about it?"
Plz don't quit Joey!❤
JESUS CHRIST JOEY I literally felt my heart stop
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Much respect to all of the content creators on this platform, They really do deserve a break. We will continue along with you Joey. Stay awesome!
Was sad to hear Moosnuckle was stepping down but happy for him moving on in a positive way for himself.
OK what is going on?
A lot of people have been ending there youtube careers and it's a bit much.
Good too hear your still going good and when you do end it I hope it's on a high note as well.
Honestly things are always changing so when you steep down plenty will already be trying to fill your shoes out of respect and a desire to continue informing people.
more power to you man, do what you like, I understand that feeling.
I think the best word to describe everything that's going on is "bittersweet." It pulls on your heart strings but it's ultimately a necessary step. These retired UA-camrs are moving on with their lives by their own choices and that's ok.
I was born in 2004 btw and I'm going into my fourth semester of college. Time flies huh?
Part of me hopes that even though some may retire, that there still will be some active youtubers from 'older' generations. Like with actors or TV show presenters.
I have been watching you since 2017. You were the reason I got into anime and manga. I literally grew up watching you. You will always be my favorite UA-camr, even if you retire eventually.
I truly never noticed how much these content creators that I watched built up my personality and interests until.. they retired. They grew up and I grew up as well. And as I've changed interests or quit hobbies they did as well. They impacted me a lot and I'm forever grateful so I will always respect their decision and continue to grow, and move on.
I think your point about going away in your own terms vs. having the "curtains close on you" is so important. In that sense it feels like a good closure as a creator and for us as viewers, in my pov it feels nice to see that people are able to move on from something that they put a lot of passion and effort in, in the sense that it doesn't mean everything is over. It just means everyone has a chance to do new things and that while its hard, saying goodbye to a chapter in your life doesn't have to be something fully awful because there's people still supporting you no matter what. Its just how life is, and it makes me think that we really have the chance to always start new things no matter how much time passes 😊
(Also thanks for the jumpscare when i read the title lol)
The issue with Mattpat is that he was the entire reason people watched. Most of the episodes had him voiceover the videos and I feel like with him gone I would bet that the channel will get a fraction of the views and not be financially viable in a year or more with all the people involved in making the theories. If you make a business that relies on someone being the face of the brand (as with game theory,) If the face goes away then a good number of people will not want to watch future content without him. Kudos to whoever takes over the voice aspect of game theory but especially since he just sold the brand to another company I think they will pull the plug once the views drop off...
Maybe it won't be as successful compared to the Matpat era, but hopefully they can develop their own identity as a new host when they take over from MatPat. For me, I think Food Theory and Style Theory has the most promise in these areas as those don't really rely on something like "FNAF" or "Minecraft" or other indie horror stuff and they can branch out more into other topics compared to similar channels.
May be if you aren't regukar but Tom for GameTheory had appeared a lot on Shorts and also along with MatPat in GTLive.
So they will still have an audience.
Might have to start smaller tho.
GODDAMN YOU JOEY DONT DO THAT
Amazing thumbnaul + titlechamp well played. anyway I'm glad you still kept making video content as well as your other ventures and I hope you find success in all of them until the end
Threw my head back, laughing in disbelief thinking another one of my favorite youtubers was retiring, but stayed for the wonderful take you had. UA-cam is a platform that anyone has the right to log out of, this week was a huge reminder of that. Excited to see more content from you this year 🙌
I only laughed at MatPat for feeling old at 37. I guess building and watching a family grow while keeping up with all that he does really has made him feel an age more beyond his age now... it just made me laugh. He worked hard and will be missed.
Well, he is right, if not you will rot like james rolfe (AVGN). Now he is a living dead UA-camr.
@@maxtrix1What is wrong with AVGN?
@@maxtrix1AVGN is still amazing! I dig how he can juggle UA-cam and family while still having a passion for shitty games and videography.
Yeah 30's isn't really old 😂
First matpat now joye 🥲🥲
youre a legend joey. looking forward to the future of nonsense
I miss old content not this short choppy content - I hope that sort of content comes back
he changes the title.. lol joey is such a troll
I think Pewdiepie strat of "retiring" is the most optimized path for you and your audience, it gives you more time for yourself while keeping your audience kept engaged at the same time
Exactly and it wouldn’t make everybody have a heart attack like Matt patts video did and the sudden slap of two more months and I go poof
Keep up the awesome work and videos Joey love the video
MatPat has really made the creators on this platform ask themselves this question, and considering how UA-cam treats creators that aren’t Logan Paul or SSSSniperWolf, I can understand why.
As a someone who is outside looking in, I’ve seen since 2017 how UA-cam has been becoming more and more of a worse platform to be a content creator on. Copyright System abuse, excessive demonetization, strikes and claims that are given out of nowhere and usually without any context or explanation, an algorithm that is terrible at its job, and terms of service that are always changing at the drop of a hat, which sometimes feel counterintuitive and bipolar to the point where they no longer make sense.
This…
UA-cam has turned into this massive sewer where all kind of manure arrives and become famous just by harassing and insulting for the sake of likes and because they’re bad people from the core… and every single attempt to stop them is tossed away because the only thing this platform wants is money, at the expense of strong rules protecting all.
Don’t you say it joey!
I’m already losing pewds and MatPat
PEWDS??😢
@@sunshinesideofdarksidewhat 😭
Pewds is quitting too??? What is going on!
We seem to be losing more youtubers by the second.
Kudos to you for being so late to this trend that there was absolutely no way to take that video title seriously! :D Some good thoughts you had in this video, too. Maybe not all bullseye (especially the musings about the youtube generations), but you have some very clear ideas about parasocial relationships and youtube and just awareness of that, which is admirable.
Thanks Joey. I hope the OGs still stay. Your cat mario series was the first video I watched on youtube
Just do what Pewds/Felix is doing. Just post whatever content you feel like doing and go awol for months on end only to hit us with a surprise video.
DUDE- NOT YOU TOO!! 😭- GONNA MISS U MAN- (But wish u greatest luck with u, Aki, and ur buds and pals- and also family-] 👍🤎 good luck :)
Edit: OH THANK GOD I WAS ABOUT TO CRY- 😭
Sorry I had to run to the comments because I couldn’t just wait. I almost had a heart attack. I mean, do what you want but honestly I am so glad I discovered you because you made me laugh and continue enjoying anime and showed me so much more about Japanese culture
*hugs* Keep taking care of yourself and Aki man. See you in the next one.
Joey i will personally pun- give you a handshake as long as you don't retire.
God damn it you scared me
There were also a lot of vtubers retiring/graduating last year. Thanks for sharing the pain.
Darn it Joey!!!! I'm still processing MatPat's video!! 😭 I don't have my therapy appointment until tomorrow!
ill save you 14 minutes: he's not retiring
Don't do us like this my guy
Crazy that AVGN was making videos before UA-cam existed, he's had a couple of hiccups recently, but he's still churning out fantastic content.
Respect for his sort of stuff and respect since recently switching things up!!
If you are leaving, then I wish you the best, Joey. Matpat from Game Theory left yesterday, so while sad, I get it. Just hope y'all are happy, and doing well
Might want to watch more then 1 minute before commenting XD
Maybe Joey shouldn't title his videos like this @@consensus688
UR TITLE SCARED ME!!! seriously I'm so sad with matpat god I respect him so much but yeh him saying goodbye was really something
Well said my man. A big part of living is letting go. As much as I’d love to keep everything the same, you just gotta move on or else there is no progress. Plus content creators are people too and they got lives that they would want to enjoy. At least we will still have the memories 👍
Amazing video Joey.
thank you joey for todays video
THAT TITLE IS A SIN JOEY hahaha love you man, amazing video
nice heartfelt video great one joey wish i knew about ya sooner but been following you since day one of trash taste
... Saw the title, cried out "not you, too!?" ... But you're just talking about the ones who have retired. Thats a relief. Don't scare us like that!
