The Dramatic Downfall of PopularMMOs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2020
- PopularMMOs AKA Patrick Brown is a long time UA-camr who popped hard in the early 2010s, only to gradually lose viewers over time. This video will take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, beginning in 2012, so we can answer the question - How did PopularMMOs go from getting 250 million views per month between 2015 - 2018 to 50 million views per month in recent times?
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, Sunny XO ❤ - Розваги
Holy guacamole this is by far the most requested video I've ever had, this is for all you fellas who were asking for it. Enjoy boys.
man like sunny
Hello
SunnyV2 they recked they’re brand by making it kid sentric
Hey man have a good day
To be honest, every Minecraft UA-camr before 2015 has most likely:
1. Die out.
2. Had Drama that made them look very bad.
3. We just grew up.
4. Actually Survived.
atleast it was a clean divorce, they seem to still be friends.
They are, they decided it would be better to be friends
Edit: spelled friends wrong.
They aren’t the same tho Jen lost her enthusiasm and pat got a girlfriend which is wierd
@@percyjackson3108 jen got a boyfriend aswell though
EggsAreMeh * I know but it’s not the same pat kinda replaced Jen with eleni and they both should go there separate ways bc if they don’t they’ll end up sad there entire life cuz they don’t know how to interact with each other there no the same anymore
Percy Jackson you worded that very wrong
So Eleni actually turned out to be even worse than expected :(
Sadly I thought she would be cool.
@@notsocomi I hoped she'd be cool
Yea now she’s talking shit bout pat which is just gunna make shit worse
@@yakwrld5133 ikr
feel bad for pat man...
Watching the early stages of Pat's career just brought a smile to my face, just for me to remember his inevitable fate. This guy was literally my childhood, I feel terrible for the fate of the channel.
I feel the same way dude
Same here dude 😢
It felt so nostalgic because I recognised a few of the videos
his videos sometimes appear in my recommendation and they make me tear up because of what happened to him
Me too and it’s good that Jen has a kid now but it kinda feels like all that was just a dream because both of them are just gone now having their own lives
It’s super sad how Pat’s situation got 10x worse in just the 2 years after this video was uploaded… His life is literally going through a downward spiral.
What's happened since this vid dropped?
@@thugmctwist He has had several girlfriends and has been arrested multiple times most recently for hitting one of his girlfriends

It suplexed me down memory lane
It's the "hey guys!" That really got to me
PopularMMos played such a big part in my childhood.
He did for us all
Yeah
Yub
Me too
Yeah
It's actually heartbreaking to see that his first marriage didn't work out, his second girlfriend turned out to be just a drama fest, he got arrested (I've heard twice), and now if you look both he and Jen haven't posted a video on either of their channels in almost a year. This might be the biggest abandoned channel I've ever seen.
I thought he got arrested 3 time (the most recent being when he ran across the field of a Jacksonville Jags game)
I mean, Jen had a baby, so it makes sense that she’s focusing on her family instead of her channel rn :)
Apparently both Jen and his ex Eleni have said on Twitter that he was pretty abusive to them
@@dragonwings123456789 nah Jen didn't
he just made a community post
I know I am very late to comment but who else almost cried when watching this. They were a huge part of my childhood and many others as well. So sad to see how their life changed so fast.
It’s also sad since Pat hasn’t uploaded anything in a year
I was thinking the same thing. My childhood. The music doesn't help setting an even sadder tone.
:(
Yeah, I used to watch them every day for hours on end
I felt heartbroken 💔
Ok but who remembers Jen’s famous quote “the sink is shipping” 😭😢
That quote describes this channel right now
I do
Me
:(
Should I be crying, laughing, or both 😭
“I’m with my girlfriend Jen” *cries in heartbreak*
Dont be sad that they got divorced, be happy that they were something special in your childhood
@@sloud471 i know, I just miss when i was a kid and i would watch them everyday. I'm not sad that they broke up, I'm sad that time went by too quickly. I miss his intros.
For some reason Jen's voice and energy is a lot differnt she isn't as talkitive as she was before so I do believe that it has changed Jen alot that's why I don't watch them as much
@@Roxxie_ig agree :c
Yeah I couldn’t watch this without crying from 2015 to 2020 had a bad downfall. Us fans really hope 2021 will be a good year for him
PopularMMOs was essentially my childhood. I would come home every day to watch his videos. I still remember binge watching his Epic Proportions series and I remember the exact video in which I caught up with the series. It really is sad to see what's happened to the channel over the past couple years. I suppose all good things really do need to come to an end. I'm glad I got the enjoy the channel in its prime. I'll always have those memories.
Same when I was younger I would love watching popularmmos and ssundee
I feel you man. (Don’t feel sad that it’s over, feel happy that it happened..)
@@aperson.a I loved Ssundee so much. I loved his old content and how he basically made catchphrases and recurring jokes for himself. Now he just cranks out among us kids content.
I also liked his intros and the music and how he was more soft-spoken back then. I’m a little bothered by how much louder he is now
@@Sterling-cn1fq I honestly agree wholeheartedly. I was a huge ssundee fan especially when he made cops and robbers, skyfactory (1-3), pokemon series, and trollcraft. I miss when he did content with crainer, the constant jokes Abt pen and paper, wheelchair, and especially derp ssunde. Now that all he gives out is among us content with different mods every day with nothing new I can't even bring myself to watch him without cringing heavily and reminiscing about how great he used to be.
it broke my heart when this popped up on my fyp because i was there growing up and saw this entire process happen, every video update, and seeing this summary makes it really hard not to cry because it’s so difficult to rewatch my childhood videos now :(( i’m really happy for jen’s life now, but i hope pat’s life looks up eventually,,
"My girlfriend Jen"
*casual tears come out of my eyes*
Your not the only one
Same here
It was just sad hearing about their divorce when I haven't watched them for years...
My childhood
Just crumbled
I remember watching them since 2013, it was amazing, they got a little less motivated once they broke up, then Pat brought Ellie, (Elaine?) idk her name, don’t watch the videos with her, she just doesn’t have the same spark as Jen. But it’s not the same. Something just seems missing. When that break up video came out, I remembered so many things, the video where he introduced Jen, when they got married, all the amazing times they had together, just flooded through my mind. I actually started crying. 😔 I miss the good old days.
Pat raised kids, he raised millions of them.
Thanos on crack yup he never wanted be father but became father of millions
True I'm 11 he was a cool dude
Ya i use to watch like them like when i was grade 2 or grade 3 or grade 4
He will always be my true dad
one of them was me, he saved me from loneliness man.....
You gotta give it to him, the man is STILL playing Minecraft. Most people from his era have already moved on long ago, but he still sticks to the same game that literally made his career. I hope to be able to play one of his modpacks with my girlfriend so we can replicate that experience.
I'd watch that
what i want fr
i just want to give him a hug. he seems so lovely and it's depressing to see people fade away
the problem is he actually been arrested a few times but i totally agree

@Aplles hey daz not nice ;-;
i think most of the hate is from people whose childhoods were him
It’s really crazy when you think about it, people who built up you whole childhood are having a serious downfall. It’s so sad :(
I think I started watching them a while after they hit 1mil subs, but I stopped after their divorce as I realized I was only subbed to them because of how much I *used* to watch them
He didn’t fall I still watch him to this day
@@sagiegaming7539 they are just not doing as good as they used to
TK- Claps oh ok
Sagie Gaming Moron.
his videos left such an impact on me and probably on many others to where every year I always watch them for nostalgia
He got arrested
I will always remember the days I spent watching his Minecraft mod videos, especially the mob battles and lucky block challenges. This man was a good chunk of my childhood and I will forever be disheartened at how his channel, and he as a person, turned out.

"Popularmmos wasn't just pat, it wasn't jen, it was BOTH pat and jen."
I felt that.
Yeah they're wholesome relationship was what made the channel great but all that is gone
Yeah with pat it’s nice kind and a chill dude but with himself alone I didn’t truly feel populermmos until Jen came to camera then we had funny kind heartfelt and just overall cute and fun to watch their bonding but it just slipped away into the mud of the downfall of populermmos
Yeah
Yeah it was a mistake to include her into the channel. It wasn't a gaming channel anymore it was just some reality relationship channel like the Bachelorette and that set him up for failure.
touched my heart, I remember couple years ago I would always search pat and jen because Popularmmos was to hard for me back then
It’s not just that their channel ended that is sad… it’s that it ended it tragedy! Stampy just kinda drifted peacefully away while Pat’s channel came crashing down in a burning fire. After he broke up with Jen it just wasn’t the same and everything fell apart after he got his new girlfriend. Poor dude I hope him and Jen are doing alright wherever they are today.
Unfortunately pat got arrested for abuse charges to a new girlfriend, but Jen is happily married and I think had a kid on the way!
@@clayteague8204 no he didn’t. His new gf accused him, but he was never arrested. She was, however, proven to be abusing pat.
@@samakiraroyjanssen6326 he was arrested, there’s a mugshot
@@clayteague8204 was this recently then? Last I had heard the gf he got after Jen was abusive towards him and accused him of it.
@@samakiraroyjanssen6326 I don’t know any real detail about Jen or Elina being abusive but in may of 2021 he and Elina were arrested and both released on bond
his story is just too sad i cant even watch the full video, still he made my childhood 10x better
Same here
I’m concerned for Pat, he does so much and after what’s happening to him he still has a smile, but it doesn’t seem like the smile we remember
I remember the smile he used to have that said to the audience “I’m happy because I love what I have and I love making you guys happy” that smile was when he was with Jen. I’m sure that same smile will come back, but who knows when it will? I’m still supporting him after the Eleni controversy that just started on Instagram and stuff, but this makes me even more concerned for Pat.
MGF tbh, he is in a shit situation..
now with the Eleni situation, things are slowly falling again.
He's been through a lot. Especially for a girl who even had the guts to manipulate him just to be famous. What hurts me is that he just says "I'm alright"
Emprisa yeah
Dan got a kid, Stampy got married, Pat got divorced, damn my childhood just took a critical hit.
Are the first two things bad?
@@BitchChill no it just shows how much time has passed so quickly
@@HitByAPlane That's true
wait dan got a kid????
@@sophiachote2698 yep!
I loved this channel so much when I was younger, it was all I would watch. Such a shame to see they ended up like this, they were such an iconic duo.
If pat is going through some things now I hope that he finds something in life and can be happy again. Everyone does things in their own ways. I really miss him and I hope the best for him. I just really really really hope he knows that he was part of all of our lives so many of us. And I’m so grateful for him being part of my life.
Even though pat didn’t want kids, he and Jen both helped raised 17 million of them.
Edit: Some of y’all need to chill, I didn’t steal this comment from anyone, and if you think I did, how about you tell me where?
Underrated
True I'll miss em tbh
Thanks, now I’m crying...
tbh Pat and Jen helped me through tough times, when my parents fought, and I'm so thankful for that
I know they broke up they still make vids together your sad for yourself. But pat and Jen broke up. If anything you should be sad for them. But they are still happy and for a fan that all that matter!
It’s crazy to think that popularmmos, dantdm and stampy shaped a generation
Yeah
they were the best
Stampy's channel died horribly tho

The Good Old Days, in a happier time atleast for me.
Ah yes the good old days
I wanted him to do the mob battles again! Those were the best videos to watch, anytime, anywhere.
My heart bro
UndertaleFan 1234 I loved those!
I remember watching these with my cousins when we were younger. They were obsessed with Jen and Pat, and we bonded together in the time we spent watching. I haven’t thought about them in so long, and I’m so sad to see everything that has gone down and declined. These two are so nostalgic to me, and it hurts to see that special old part of my life fading. Seriously, I still have an old message from one of my cousins talking about a parkour video by Popular MMOs. I wish them all the happiness and prosperity they deserve, and I’m thankful for the memories they brought me and my cousins.
He's been one of, if not the first English speaking UA-camr I've been watching regularly and he's been one of the reason I wanted to start making content for UA-cam.
Thank you.
Popularmmos has one of oldest intro very nostalgic.
He changes it we riot
But stampy’s lovely world is back
@@lavagava3288 ya what?
The person who won the intro competition must have been so happy
yeah and i remember going to his channel just to watch his mod battles as a kid
This is one of the saddest channel downfalls. He had no bad intentions, he was a genuine good guy. Life just decided to screw him over :/
And to this day, he still makes videos and tries to connect with his audience, giving them the best performances he can give. He's honestly a really great guy who built my childhood, I can't help but feel so bad for him after all of this
And to think he’s been through all of it but still manages to smile.
he just got arrested Did none of you notice
@Ilikeoofsloland oh that would make sense as to why he’s still posting
@@blueblarry6048
It was real, but he didn’t get jail.
I remember watching the channel as a kid. Then remembering it years later and having a look to see what changed and the first video was their divorce. Absolutely floored me
The same thing happened to me, it hit me like a sack of bricks
Late to all this but these videos give me a strange nostalgia for an era I never really was a part of. Computer time was something earned in 5 minute increments at my parent's discretion so I rarely spent time on UA-cam when my limited time (could be as little as 15 mins a week if I was acting up) could be spent playing a game online. All the same, I feel for those who did get to enjoy the heyday of all these creators who helped build their childhoods. It's unfortunate how fast that period came and went for all of us.
"PopularMMOs?"

"Haven't heard that name in years"
Hahaha

Anyone remember the hide n seek?
The hunger games lucky block challenge?
The epic poportions? S8 was the best.
Pat didn’t want kids... even thought he and Jen raised over 17 million
😔💔
It's true
Honestly so sad, I watched him every single day for years on my tv downstairs in the living room with my brother, younger and older sister. We’d watch his old modded Minecraft survival series with Jen, and also his arena fights or mod showcases. It was awesome I remember watching them building the treehouses and also the classic Jen house, with the heart and the trees.
Hehe
They did , ive been watching them for 8 years
It rips me apart seeing this channel end, I feel like I would still watch it if they were still together, they broke up over something quite trivial, it makes me feel a lot of emotion and I see many memories with this channel. He went from just trying to promote his channel to carrying the weight of fame, we always knew he was strong but nothing ever prepared him for what he would go through. I love these two and it was sad to see them go and I wish we could have seen more. We can always go back and watch old videos but knowing what we know about them now it would never be the same thinking about how they are no longer together and will never make videos together again…
i completely forgot about his channel. i used to watch him about 5 years ago. i litteraly started crying half way through
When he said “its not about pat or jen its about pat and jen” that hit me

same i feel you
I have been watching him since early 2014 when I was 11 years old. I'm 17 and still watching him and he is the only minecraft OG UA-camr that I'm still watching
I've been watching him for literally my whole life I grew up watching him im gonna cry :, (
You know.. even what has happened to him, I will always love him for making my childhood one of the best it could of ever been. I really do owe him so so much for what he has done for me. Words can’t explain how just how much he helped me and made my childhood just so spectacular and I thank him for that! I hope and pray that he comes back and o will forever continue to support him! Love him so much❤️
I used to watch popular mmos I still remember the short intro because it was a bop
People In 2015: omg this channel is so interesting!!
People in 2020: *sad nostalgia music*
yes
Imma be honest, popularmmos was why I started exercising and playing sports, and made a cringy YT channel (I'm sure most of us had that one). Pat seemed to have so much joy in his life and it made me happy a happy 9 year old. Good times, screw highschool.
It's also kinda funny he's a huge buff guy who likes cats.

Damn, that memory is pushed so far back into my brain and I don’t know why I remember that-
Me and my little brother used to watch popularmmos together. I remember watching one of his videos after there breakup, there was no “hey guys” because Jen and him broke up. Miss the old days..
I think I have come back to this video the most out of any of SunnyV2's video's, its just so well made and PopularMMO's was thee thing from my childhood that I would always just love. Pat and Jen's break up was the saddest thing to learn about from my childhood creators, same goes for SkyDoesMinecraft. Its heart breaking but I hope that they will one day find what makes them all happy.
Jen Appears:
Channel: blews up
Eleni Appears:
Channel: downhill
In one of Pat's vidoe he says ""I wish I had a kid"" and they broke up because she wanted one and he didnt... 😞😢😭😭😭😢
@@Roxxie_ig you kept copy pasting this so I want to know which video he said that exact thing
O
Taylin Carlisle when did he say that
Just letting you know The channel was already declining before Eleni showed to the channel
To be honest, he probably doesn’t need the money from his channel as is. He could probably live out his life with the money he has but I feel really bad for him with the things that have been going on. This guy shaped me as a kid and he shouldn’t be getting hate for trying to move on. I want the best for Pat and I hope that he comes out happy and not like some other people who have hurt themselves because of a toxic online community.
I’m sure he’s made plenty from UA-cam and probably still makes decent money, but if the divorce was messy or there were issues with the division of assets (since Jen definitely has a right to some of that theorized six million dollars in UA-cam money), he might be worse off than we think. It might even be a big part of his growing stress and worsening mental state, unfortunately :(
He also has a degree in psychology i think a master
Katie Hass he has a net worth of over 30 million they were and are fine
@@katiehass5980 actually he has like 30 million plus so even if gen got a good chunk of it they both still have a shit ton of money plus his videos are still doing 800k-1 million views.
Bruh that’s what he said in the video
this actually made me sad like this channel was my childhood so sad to see them fall off i legit cried and i never cry to movies or any sad situation but like this is just heart braking
I used to purposefully avoid videos where Jen wasn’t in it so when they broke up I disappeared all together. They were such a good duo but now I’ve heard pat has done so much shit and it breaks my heart. It makes me so sad to see creators that shaped me as a child either become problematic or get burnt out and disappear..
I do remember checking up on Jen tho and she’s in love and doing fine (from when I last checked that it)

I'd watch videos for 10th or 11th times, until a new video was uploaded.

Yep and I'm just about ready for all this drama to be over ;-;
The big thing for me was while most every other minecraft youtuber would collab and merge so it looked like they were one happy community poppularmmos was always Pat and Jen. I aged out of them, having been part of the early crowd that went on to games like destiny. When I recently came back to watch them it was no surprise that things went downhill. Every famous person from my childhood has gone downhill with the exception of CaptainSparkles. The thing that kills me though is that Pat was clearly very happy to do youtube and he did it with someone he truly cared about. I think by the time they made the divorce public things had been sorted out and they were happy to be friends but the gf conflict caused problems.
Thank you for this video. I completely forgot about them, even though they were my favourite channel as a growing kid. Didn't know that they could ever have a downfall.
It sucks that Eleni took advantage of popularmmos/pat and she spreader false rumors about him
Selozar watch his eleni is a liar vid

Ikr thats what we call "Gold Digger"
Bruh she denied that she was in a picture with pat
What makes it worse is that almost all his fans warned him about her..

Couldnt agree more

I think it's crazy, what's happened to the channel. I remember watching it when I was a kid with my siblings, all of us hooked onto the content that was being produced; it was fun and engaging. Pat and Jen were some of the many Minecraft creators that raised us, along with Stampylongnose, TheDiamondMinecart, SSundee, etc. I, actually, had only found out about the separation in early 2020, through a friend, who I guess was still updated.
Only in late 2021 had I actually searched for the video, and I guess it wasn't so much the divorce that left me at a loss, but more so the mood of it; the discomfort and the distance between them throughout the entirety of the video. I think they both knew how drastic the hit the channel took would be, just judging from the anxiety that was so clear and yet so hidden as they spoke on the matter. I suppose I had been away from it for a while by that point, and the awkwardness was such a big change from what I remember.
In 2022, when I heard about the first arrest and allegations against Pat and Liz it left me baffled, and I just had to go back and check. The time that stood between uploads was shocking to me, not to mention the titles of said uploads, and I guess that was when I knew that the youtuber that practically raised me and so many others was taking a turn for the worse. I didn't doubt the allegations being false when they were ruled untrue, however, time really does change people and Pat, though he may mean well, really is spiraling into something that I would rather not involve myself with. I heard about the second arrest that took place May 3, on May 22. I couldn't find any further information on the matter outside of smaller creators that were covering the subject.
My final take on the matter is that, I think he started something great, something genius, and rough and fun, but some good things only last so long. Sometimes all it takes is one single wrong step where you slip and the moment is over. I think that's what happened to him, he had something good going, but he wasn't the whole. There was no way this channel would make it out of this with only minor injuries. Pat and Jen were PopularMMO's. It started as a partial piece with Pat, and then later was made whole with Jen. They both made the channel home for so many, plain and simple.
If Pat was to recover from this, I feel it would be a better option to begin something new. PopularMMO's already had a face, and attempting to turn something that's already been made into something else would be near impossible. He needs something new to build off of, a clean slate, something to call his own again. 17 million subscribers, made up of multiple different generations of people aren't going to want to shift if Pat remains under the same name and overshadow of what once was.
I still check on him every now and then, worrying for what is to happen to him should he continue trying to pursue something that's already been given a name and face. He should stop trying to be Pat and Jen, and instead move onto a new chapter of his life that doesn't "need" Jen to be successful.
I remember every morning before school in 2018-19, I watched them a lot
“I’m here with my *girlfriend* Jen...”
i’m crying
Same brother
The quote of the century
Glock The Clock YT Aka That Pigeon Lord I’m not either bro
Spookay...
😭😭😢
None of them deserve hate. They’re not harming anybody, they’re just staying with who they’re happy with and separating from who they’re not happy with.
Moon101 I agree with this so much, like god damn, it’s not your business who he dates and the choices he makes. Just be happy
BorealisBoy69 while I agree with the sentiment the channels backbone is pat and Jen together not separately for a lot of people.
Tbh they were much stronger than the sum of there parts.
So when the divorce happens and they still made videos together it just doesn’t hit the same for a lot of people.
I never grew up on popularmmos (was never in the popularmmos/stampylonghead camp for Minecraft. Was more into Jerome/captainsparklez/ssundee stuff.) but as someone on the outside looking in I understand why the audience would be sad, confused and upset.
No one deserves THIS much backlash but it isn’t surprising in the least.
Yeah they deserve to be with people better suited for them but unfortunately when they broke up it really hurt their channel
While they don't deserve hate over simply wanting better personal lives, they do deserve criticism for stuff like putting "Ex-Wife Jen" in the title, not realizing how weird that is and how much of a sore spot it can be, then proceeding to act like its the community's fault entirely.
I understand people feelings though. When I heard Pat was dating someone else after their break up. I was uneasy. I guess I was not ready for them to move on and find someone else since I was little bit sad over their divorce. Though understand they have their lives and can make their own choices. I want them to be happy. Not the viewers.
Their story always makes me upset I used to allways watch them😢
I keep on watching this and I don’t know why it just breaks me to see my favourite content creator go into a downhill spiral. I’m 13 now and Pat and Jen have been a huge part of my childhood for so long now. I actually stopped watching him and a few years later decided to see how things were going with them and when I saw this I almost cried. Things change a lot over time.
Pat and jen are literally the reason Why I started playing Minecraft
Yup :(
they recomended me to play and so i did
Captain sparkles for me
SAME no one talks about this. popularmmos, little carly, little kelly, all of them was the reason I played minecraft.
For me it was dan. I found Dan first and later found pat and jen
PopularMMOS And GamingwithJen’s breakup caused so much controversy
I remember my sister showed me the video of them breaking up and at first I didn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. I was coming up with every excuse to get away from the fact that they indeed broke up. Fk its hard. Lifes hard.
Lorenzo Lawrence I know but what is better pat being in a relationship that he doesn’t want to anymore just for views or him leaving
when it was posted i was with my friend, al i said was "pat and jen broke up" and he was like wait what. i didnt know that watched them too but we were in shocked about it. ofc we made our jokes but it really hit us cause they were our childhood
@@woodylawrence6959 i thought it was a joke at first
Honestly, when I was younger and first heard the news, I hadn’t thought much of it. But now that I’m older, it did really hit me that my childhood may have been falling apart before I knew it. I miss them sm.
I was 10 when I started watching their channel. I was so happy watching the hunger games and everything they made. they were honestly like parents to me at some times. Now I'm 17 and it hurts watching this all happen. I know it sounds stupid, but I guess they were just such a big part of my life. I hope pat and jen are doing well
This is... truly devastating. Their entire channel was everything to me as a kid. It’s not just that they played a role in my life or our lives, it’s that we the viewers are also important. I could feel that when Pat was talking in his recent videos, he was sad, stressed and other things like that. He’s in a deep time of need and we should be there to help him. Especially being in a time like this with a virus going around. It’s hard to believe that Pat and Jen are getting a divorce, after all these years. Those two were the people that created an even more fun life for his viewers. Most of us have grown out of his kind of content, but I feel it would be nice to kind of take a trip down memory lane, or just be there to provide emotional support in some way.
Can't say more
Shmooat Same,I used to watch them everyday when I was younger
@@JzJamin same
omg same
I can agree
I dont know why the minecraft music makes it more depressing.
Probably because Minecraft music is depressing.

I found this video hard to watch popylarMMOs was my childhood almoste every moment on youtube was spended on them I was almoste in tears watching it all happening. I really hope he gets on his feet again.
Although I'm prob late, I would like to say that Jen and pat were my childhood. It pains me to see them gone. I remember being subbed to this channel for such a long time but when I realized that Jen was gone, I cried. I just felt so... heart broken that my child hood heros were falling part, gone (sorry it kinda sounds like I'm talking about them dying-)
oh god, for a moment I was like "wait, she's dead?"
I don’t know why I stopped watching but it gives me nostalgia.
Maybe cuz you grew up and moved on to other creators? Atleast that’s what happened me
I changed this so you don’t know why I got 110+ Likes
Exactly. He was the second place in Minecraft influencers for me

Oh dude I loved this guy! I was never into minecraft or gaming of any sorts but my brother was and like any younger sibling man I wanted to be just like him and one of the ways I’d try to do that was watch popularmmos for that way we’d actually have something to talk about. I’ve never been close with my brother but we at least got to bond over him and I’m rlly grateful for that :)
I sometimes watch the old videos, so i kan remember what we once had, wishing it could go back.
But that's impossible...
I just realized that PopularMMOS has more than twice as many views as Mr Beast.

I remember always getting back from school and immediately pulling up youtube to check PopulatMMO's channel for new uploads... Man... That was such a fun time..
I have been watching Pat Since i was about 5, my parents always told me, don't watch these people, they don't have lives, we don't want you to be a failiure like them, i never listened to them, i just kept watching, ever since i turned about 12 a few years ago, i stopped watching them, around this time is when i stopped playing minecraft aswell, one day my friend showed me this video you made on them, i was devastated, those 2 were the perfect couple, so sad to them end up like this.
The sad part is that he knows that his channel is going downhill, yet he still smiles through it all after all the shitty events he’s done through. He really doesn’t deserve it, he’s such a nice guy :(
Yesssss he never forget to smile
=/
And the fact that he abuse women makes my heart shatter.
This aged like milk
@@tomfoolery3142 n
I feel so lost when I get reminded of these guys. Pat and Jen were like my parents for years upon years of para social interaction… and they never did anything to mess that up, we all just grew apart. I grew up, Jen wanted to start a family, Pat wanted to continue with his passion, and no one did anything horrible, no one cheated, no one embezzled, everything just faded…
This makes me wanna cry
every popular youtuber will one day fall apart etc
Now Jen is pregnant so she started her goal (check her instagram if you want to see)
It's just really goes to show how time just has a way of fucking shit over.
It's the sad truth, but we can take comfort knowing they were both accepting of what happened and never pinned the problem on the other, remaining good and happy friends.
PopularMMOs, DandTDM, and Stampy made my childhood. I remember just watching Stampy on my mom’s phone in the mall, then watching PopularMMOs late at night, and watching DanTDM’s mod videos. Those were some great times fr
please tell me im not the only one re-watching this and missing popularmmo and fel=eling emotional and wanting to go search his youtube chanell and waajaanaoifakolsfnlasaaaaaaaaaa

I remember watching this when I was 6, when pat was in his prime. I sat on my iPad (I also watched stampy) these letsplays basically kickstarted my gaming. It’s so sad that we just grew up and forgot about these channels. I watch them for nostalgia and I still love them
