      I was playing Minecraft, three strangers, a perfect team.. we had gotten used to each other and without needing to speak we knew exactly what to do and we won every time.. it was so fun, but I didn't add then as a friend and I can't remember their usernames.. :(
      Mine is DarkBaronGames if they see this and remember, I doubt it though :/

    The whole story starting 44:45 was something I noticed with the current UA-cam. Like when I was growing up with UA-cam practically everyone loved each other. The UA-cam rewind was like an end-of-the-year reunion. After the viners went on UA-cam suddenly everyone hated each other, cliques are starting drama with other cliques and all that.
    When I was growing up, UA-cam was a community, now it's just a platform.

      sad truth

    • @lepiee
      @lepiee 5 років тому +133

      It wasn’t the viners that caused it. It was the rise of drama/edgy youtube channels that instigate and talk shit about other creators. Drama channel alway existed, but it was on a really small scale and no one really cared, but now youtube is all about controversy to get clicks.

    • @fairyfied92
      @fairyfied92 5 років тому +10

      Yeah I feel that, even though it started way before the viners. There was only a handful (a bit more but you get it) of UA-camrs, and even when you didn’t watch them you knew them. I always feel happy and sad when I think back to those years, so nostalgic.

    • @Sonicboom238
      @Sonicboom238 5 років тому +60

      I think the big change was when UA-cam made it so you had to have 10 minute videos to get a lot of revenue. This affected a lot of channels and killed a lot of creativity in my opinion.

    Ryan, I’m not even subscribed to you but I had to click this for Kevin. That said, what a nice surprise seeing this on my recommended. I’m impressed and surprised at how different Kevin carries himself now in front of the camera. This more “turned off” state is really genuine. His blunt vulnerability here was refreshing too. I hope to see him make his comeback whenever he feels is ready. He always had good shit to say, and was an all around cool personality to look up to. One of my favourite youtubers growing up. Thanks for gracing the internet with your presence Kevin. Also I hope you know you are so so so appreciated. You made a name for yourself and might not even know how many young asian kids or just kids in general you “inspired” lol. You prob think thats cheesy af but damn. It’s the truth. All the best for you Kevin and the rest of you guys, Ryan and Paco. It was a nice podcast.

Despite that, I'm happy that he is doing well. Yes we all want him back, but sometimes things just take time. From how they talked about the parties before, it's obvious UA-cam has changed so much and it might not be the platform he wants to be in. He has so much to share when he is ready and I cannot wait until that time comes

    I haven't been keeping up with Ryan recently, I feel like i out grew his content....
    But i heard Kevin was in a video. And I had to watch!
    I was in high school when Ryan and Kevin were at the top of UA-cam. They were some of the first channels I subscribed to. I loved them so much.
    Then, all of a sudden, Kevin dissapeared. That was a heartbreaking time. Shortly after he left, UA-cam changed a lot. And I think Ryan and Kevin paved the way.
    I am so happy to see Kevin is doing well, and Ryan is staying strong.
    Thank you both for bringing laughter into my angsty teenage years. 💜

    I was never really into media trend, even when UA-cam started, but I do remember watching Ryan and Kevin when I was younger. This is nostalgic and I think a lot of fans around my age miss Kevin and we’re happy to hear from him.. but we aren’t noticing his pain. Paco kind of underplayed Kevin’s accident, but I think it took everything out of Kevin to stand back up and find himself. The pain that he is carrying, I will never understand, and unless he’s really comfortable sharing, will never pry to know about. I’m just so happy for him, his smile, and everything he’s accomplished despite the accident.

      Sayed Hasan he got into a car accident and he said no one but his dad was there for him during the long recovery. You can see him in some of his first interviews after returning to the public eye a bit that it deeply affected him. Honestly i dont think he will ever be the same he didnt just go through a car accident he went through a transformation maybe even an identity crisis. He seems like hes still trying to find his path. Last time I checked he was barely active on social media and was into buddism or some other east asian philosophy or faith. He lost a lot of weight and almost looked emaciated i dont know if this was before or after the crash.

    Being another Houstonian myself, back in the day, Kevin was the center of the online Asian American community in Houston. Even now, Houston still isn't very represented online and Kevin being as big as he was and from Houston drew a lot of people to UA-cam. I remember being like "Wow, I know where that place in the video is" and "Here's someone like me who can do this whole UA-cam thing". If it wasn't for people like Ryan and specifically Kevin, I wouldn't have explored video making and I wouldn't be going to film school now. Early Asian American exposure on UA-cam has completely changed our generation especially as UA-cam grew and grew and grew.

Kev, he was just a sight to see ( not in a creepy way) just seeing the two guys who brought so much laughter in 5-100 year olds lives together again was so cool. I can tell they got lost in there memories together which also brought me back to whatever I was doing at their time too 😂 all that nostalgia was refreshing.
