It says no stream tap to retry for me 💀
Same thought it was intentional
Deleted?

Same, feels bad man
We’ve been pranked!
Just another nameless faceless viewer here, but you do you man. Not everyone has strong opinions on what you "should" be doing. It's all good, the real ones will stay regardless.
To the top
Hard agree
I do not always agree with his opinions but I'm always interested in hearing them
yes
@@gGg-pq6il Ditto, I don't see an issue with someone having different views or opinions, it's how they are put across. He generally speaks reasonably, even if I disagree
Exactly.
I’m a 71 year old woman from Ohio. Not a gamer. I just enjoy you and your take on life. You have given me moments of happiness. Thank you. No, you don’t have to tolerate judgment and harassment.
Bro you could start a gardening stream and I would still watch you. You’re like that friend who’s just chilling up at the cabin, some days you’re crushing WOW, other days you wanna talk about the Amber Heard trial for three hours. I think we can all relate to you the best if you just keep being you and doing what you want to do.
I’m a 50 year old woman and I’m not a gamer at all. I often have to look up terms that are used but I absolutely love watching your channel. You’re honest and funny and I enjoy your reactions and your take on things. You’re awesome. It’s your channel. If they’re not paying your bills then they actually have no say. As has been mentioned, your loyal supporters will stay and new supporters will join. You be you.

But at the same time he is taking views away from very hardworking video creators that sometimes put months into a single video with edit and research, he just sits back and makes a reaction that took him 50 mins to do, but takes away 30%+ of their views= 30% of their hard earned revenue.
@@Theoreticallyyou1234 Did you miss the recentish reaction to WoW's Darkest Secret? Video was months old and was under the radar, nobody really knew about it. Then Asmon reacts to it, and suddenly it gets hundreds of thousands of views and everybody is reacting to it, and the video's creator even acknowledged Asmongold's role in getting him all those views in a follow-up he made.
@@Theoreticallyyou1234 It doesn't take away from them if I never would've watched those videos to begin with. It actually just brings attention to them.
@@Theoreticallyyou1234 You make it sound like he’s at fault for the viewer’s choice of what they are watching. He’s built a platform, brand and reputation out of years of hardwork. Of course at this point he is able to make content which people will watch, new and loyal viewers no matter what kind it is and how simple you may assume it is.
To state he’s “taking their revenue” is illogical.
"I like to debate but I don't like to listen their opinions" - Asmongold 2022
Asmon i'm really excited to see you start planting a garden, its incredibly satisfying. Can't wait to see what you grow.
What he said about seeing the world around him change really hits hard. Watching his videos fron 2011, hanging out with his friends seemed like the best time of his life and I understand how it must hurt to know he doesn't and can't have that again. But stay true to yourself Asmon.
Asmon and I are around the same age, and the whole realization of the world changing around you is him processing aging for the first time. I feel the same way, but for lots of people begin to see and experience change in a different way when they hit 29/30. Time takes on a different meaning and it’s a deeply challenging thing to cope with. It’s rough seeing everything change, and losing friends, losing your past for the first time. Especially for us who grew up with the internet for the first time in human history. We have videos of the past, we have pictures, we have all this high quality documentation of the past and that can make it so much harder to deal with because we can use those things to live in the past. Grow up is feeling the finite reality of time for the first time, and that feeling sucks. Good luck man
Part of growing old
@@bobsaget3841 jokes in you, I lost my past and friends way before my 30s
I played games basically my whole life. Now I'm 38 I still play here and there but honestly I just have other shit to do. Sometimes you just outgrow things. There's maybe a handful of titles I'm excited for but that's about it. Personally I enjoy Asmon's reaction commentaries more than I do his gameplay videos. It's just more interesting and always funny to hear his takes, whether I agree with them or not.
Like what?
@@firelord4662 I think you have to be more specific with your question.
I feel the same. I feel burned by gaining in general. But the reaction videos are good entrainment
Exactly the same for me but im 39 youngster.
Same 38
Damn he really said “asmon is dead, now is the time of Zach”
Deeply respect the vulnerability in this talk, youtuber man. I’m a relatively new viewer, so don’t know what journey has gotten you here, but moments like these are something that I find deeply endearing for the person behind a “creator” ideal. So thank you, so much, for sharing.
When did he say that?
@@stylishskater92 the part about feeling like he has to put on a character for stream and that when he came back after the break he decided to be more wholly himself. My quote’s a bit of an exaggeration, but I am a yt commenter
WHEN DID HE SAY IT WHEN DID HE SAY IT
Bro, this shit is fake/cringe. He makes millions. Do you actually think he gives a flying fuck? He's just milking people like you for more views and more donations while he gets to take a vacation. How do you sympathize with a manchild that has no clue what real problems are? He can't even fake them well.
@@stylishskater92 in this exact video, and in the past numerous times on stream after his long break (idk where bc I watched it on stream) he said the days of playing a overhyped version of himself is done and that he's tired of trying to appeal to people by putting on a 2nd face. the Era of zack is now
It sounds weird maybe but I love this man and I’ll put on some of his longest videos so I can fall asleep at night because i have insomnia and my mind runs constantly and his videos calm the senses for me
@@amirhb7531 not as easy as that with insomnia, I do full days shearing sheep and still stay up sometimes till the next day and do it all again.. Its just how it is sometimes
Feel that, he helps me also, and he's chill as, makes sense most of the time too
you are addicted to watching screens so much you cant sleep unless one is on
You say you don't care but you actually do, it's affecting you and it's obvious. Pay no attention to those who will hold you back. You need to snap out of it and not care, do what you want.
That's not a healthy mindset at all, it leads to narcissism and self destruction. One needs to listen to criticism and what people think of you and not let yourself get destroyed. You should always look inward and grow. its a balance.
@@TheM1lker he said he listens he just doesn't allow other opinions influence his personal choices
@@TheM1lker You've misunderstood me. What I've mentioned already happened to me. So the comment above is the best solution. In short, accept criticism but not take it into heart.
much easier said than done for a lot of people
I am 70 and I found you by accident. I'm not a gamer but I go so addicted to YOU JUST BEING YOU. You are so talented and brilliant. You came up with a master plan and followed through and look where you are today. Financially set and still going strong. If people don't like what you do then they never liked you for who you are . You are an excellent commentator my friend and if you are not happy with the way you want to do things....then what's the sense. I love watching you talk about cases. You had me laughing the whole Depp trial. Your animation is a show to watch. I know my opinion is only one but I find you to be such a real down to earth man. Are you stubborn....of course you are....you earned it. This Is YOUR CHANNEL ...do as you see fit. You own yourself. If you loose a few subs...so what you will pick up new ones. Maybe you are getting to the age where it's time to slow down on games. Do you want to be gaming in 10 years.? I hope not. You have so much more to offer. You make a great streamer for anything that arises other than games. You are good looking which makes you easy to watch. You are quite funny even when you don't even know it. You are a good good person. Don't try to please everyone.....it will never happen and you will go crazy trying. Thank you.🙋❤️

I hated Asmongold when I was first introduced to his streams. Now I enjoy his honest takes on everything and have incorporated some of his advice into my own life. Very honest and insightful person.
Me too
Same!
exactly
Yup
Imagine looking up to this goblin for sound advice my god the youth is doomed
TLDR: “I’m an asshole, and I’m gonna continue to be an asshole.”
The DnD campaign was my favorite stream. I looked forward to every week's episode. Just add a time limit on Rich Campbell turns and I think the pace would get better, increasing excitement overall!
Now I'm not a FF14 Andy but your take on titling your stream and not playing was poorly handled.
It would be the same if you were miss labelling UA-cam videos or even using different game titles for thumbnails. Sometimes you got to take the L and grow, and making this video shows you've grown over the many years I've been watching.
Your ability to communicate your thoughts, & your use of metaphors and examples to portray your point of view is what makes your content easy to enjoy, and to consume. Even when I don’t agree with you? I appreciate your logic, the way you choose to communicate & the conviction behind your beliefs. It doesn’t matter what game you’re playing.. YOU are entertaining. Period
this!!! plus i love the way he delivers his arguments, he is calm and elaborate with his words, but they have the full astonishing power and weight of his soul behind them. he believes what he believes, and he stands by it like a brick wall.
Yep. He's very articulate and smart, has a very interesting point of view at times.
100%
Super well said Matt, that is exactly what I believe too! Asmon if you're reading we love you and just want you happy, and whatever that may be that makes you happy, we are behind that 1000 percent.
I agree with this 100 pct. I started watching Asmon a year ago with one of his mount offs vids. I hate WoW, like really hate it, yet I stayed because he was entertaining. That is all that matters as that is the basic point of youtube is to entertain.
"If you go out every single day and you smell shit, you should probably check your own shoe." -A wise treehouse sage
I love watching your content regardless of what it is. Sometimes we disagree, most times we don't, but I am always entertained and enjoying what you are putting out there. Simply enough, if - as with any other stream - I am not enjoying what I am seeing or hearing I will click away. It's that easy. Not sure why people who obviously aren't happy stay to share their distaste.
Play what you want to play, do what you want to do. It's your stream at the end of the day and I know I don't know the extent of the pressure to play what viewers want since I only tune in on UA-cam but at the end of the day you do what you find enjoyable and people will flock
This is happening in alot of states especially where I live too. People from other states are moving in and driving up all the prices and building tons of houses and digging up all the nice forest spots. It's extremely depressing.
Honestly, the more authentic you have become the better your content has been IMO. You've clearly grown as a person and creator over the past few years especially. It's good to just be yourself and do what you enjoy most.
Going through the same shit here in Idaho man. My quiet hometown went from open plains and huge forests to apartment complexes and giant custom homes. Really sucks to see
Life is change, 57 here and been through much. Don't forget about the good things, always easy to get stuck on the negatives. You got my playing FF14 again, hope to see ya there sometime and thank you.
Damn, you’ve made it to 57?
Congratulations my dude!
Boomer?
I'm glad to know I will never grow up. I hope I keep gaming at 57. 24 years to go
@@Flashbang250 Growing up doesn't mean you do not play games.
@@eris3862 And FF14 just not just a game but also a life experience for all ages
I used to avoid your content, it really didn't seem like it would be my thing. But you kept popping up and so one day I watched and that was that. Been checking in very regularly ever since. I'm not really your target audience, that should tell you you're doing something that appeals way beyond what you started out doing. Your "two dots make a line" is one of my recent favourites.Long may it continue. I'm very fond of my Asmongold.
Same here
Absolutely the same here, kept getting recommended and I never thought it would be my thing…then I gave it a chance, now I find me watching him more than most others lately.
Targeted marketing
Yeah I've never been an mmo rpg guy either I discovered him through some of his elden ring stuff and then I saw a lot of his long reaction videos. I like asmongolds stuff even if it is mmo related.
i’ve never gotten into world of warcraft but i also used to always see his reaction videos pop up so i decided to check some out. i’ve been watching his content ever since! he really is good at connecting with all kinds of people with diff interests
Your content is logical and phenomenal. It's refreshing. As Brene Brown would say: to create content is to be in the arena, vulnerable, with the critics in the cheap seats. You are correct to assess patterns as inputs lead to predictable outputs over time. We are the product of our environments for better or worse. Your authenticity is infectious and the right people will stay. You record and stream for those people.
P.S. I found you because of the react videos. I’m staying for your thoughts and react videos. 🤙🏻✨
I think this is the best path for your stream as well. I started watching your channel on and off about a year ago because I caught a stream with some gaming mixed with a discussion about BfA and I was kind of hooked. I find it more fun to tune in when you're talking more than when you're gaming. Your Elden Ring stuff was very good though so definitely don't give up doing the gaming side of things, haha! Hope you figure stuff out and make your own validations/choices. Sounds like you already have, but in case you have any doubts in the future. You can always change/change your mind, even if a lot of people don't think you can.
My favorite content from you is your just chatting and talking pieces. The reason I like watching you so much is that even if I don't agree with you, I can trust that you'll speak your mind truthfully for better or for worse. This shows me you have *integrity* and that is the most important thing in a person to me.
he just comes off as brutally honest, which is hard to find. Seems like a good guy.
i agree to that
Same, I may agree 50% disagree 25% and just not care about 25% but it’s always interesting
completely agree
Brutally honest people are literally the best
I was a youtube sub during Mists and watched the stream the most during WoD and Legion. Things were grimy as fuck, swatting moths, collecting fuzzy delicate mold bowls on the table, and not being able to afford to put fudge rounds in the snack box, that was my vibe and it was an era that's been left behind. The stream just isn't my atmosphere anymore, but _thats okay_
I'm glad things are successful, seriously am. In the end you already made it. From here on out it's about you and what you want to do. Whatever that is, you do it. Broad target audience, small target audience, or even just ignoring the numbers altogether. The worst thing any person can do is let the internet rule them, you've got the ability to do what makes you happiest, so pursue that.
Wtf are you talking about in that first paragraph? Lol
@@smittenmittens1364 Dude this was real, swear to christ, things have chaaaanged.
@@gubzs no I literally don't understand what you're trying to say in the first paragraph lol
@@smittenmittens1364 The stream used to have the small group of gamers environment, bunch of grimy mf's just hanging out. It doesn't feel that way anymore.
@@gubzs oh you mean he got too popular?
Im happy for you man! I think you should just keep doing the things that makes you happy and joy! Life is 2 short for making it adapted for others, its your thing and the viewers did came to you cuz they enjoy watching you , i do aswell. If some people dont like it they Can view other streamers and you get a new audience in their replace. Just keep do your thing and live your day as its your last and enjoy your every second of it cuz you deserve it and im so happy i found your stream couple years ago cuz in my opinion i look up to you alot and i like that you kept doing your thing and your just straight forward about things! Keep up the good work and i dont know if you Will have time to read my particular comment but if you do i just want you to know that your awesome and amazing with such a talent for content creator and streamer, take that into your heart and remember that if it gets tough someday! Take care and see you :)
Love you Asmon, I've watched you for a while now and you always have fun and interesting takes on anything you talk about and its always a blast to witness. Always do you no matter what, we all love it.
Well said!
I'll admit it, I do not watch your streams, I only watch UA-cam videos, primarily because I can watch it on demand when I want to. My favorite content of yours is reaction videos! I hope you keep doing it, glad to hear it's your favorite thing to do! Anyhow, do whatever you feel like doing. Don't do what people ask you to do.
@@Sephiroso. yeah its a lot of content. i try to catch youtube videos because its split into specific topics and shorter basically
I have also never watched him on twitch I really only use twitch to save videos and upload them to UA-cam. But I do get links from classic wow players on UA-cam
I like watching him on UA-cam because I can do it while at work, and with UA-cam I can pause the video with a click of my earpiece and not miss any content.
I've been watching for close to four years now and have found comfort in the streams and youtube videos, probably like many others. Whether it is content I "want" or not, I watch. I watch because I enjoy Zack, I enjoy the atmosphere his streams carry (full screen sometimes), I enjoy the content because I enjoy the man behind it. From the World of Warcraft era, to the souls era, to the random challenge rage game eras, to ffxiv, etc. People who enjoy you will enjoy you doing something that makes you the happiest, even if that one day means the end of streaming. Zack does his best to stay true to himself and do whatever makes HIS life most comfortable for him and that alone will always be admirable.
no face chatter but like many others have said, we will support whatever transition happens.
“I don’t agree with any criticism.” Even when you’re wrong you can’t.
When you have money and an echo chamber constantly telling you that you’re right, you’ll never be wrong and any criticism is allowed/banned. You get what you put out.
Echo chamber is such an overused term now. Imagine you walk in to a biker bar and start saying motorbikes are shit and you dont like bikers. You think that will go down well? If you join a circle of people interested in the same thing, you either get onboard or stfu and get out.
@@The_Situation echo chambers aren't healthy man keep your head up
@@Ferindel You obviously don’t watch his stream then, he thinks he’s the best at every game he plays, he gets mad constantly and he constantly craps on any view that isn’t his
@@Ferindel Bruv I got permabanned from his subreddit for criticizing the 7-hour React Andy intros, and I wasn't being toxic at all. I didn't insult him or anything - I didn't even create a thread. I just commented in a thread.
You're also wrong about the echo chamber; dude has explicitly stated he wants his subreddit to be an echo chamber.
@@The_Situation it fits.
I love how your content and personality has evolved. You might not think you've changed but as long time viewer I've noticed how much more honest you've become and its refreshing and real. People are afraid of change. But it's not always a bad thing, change is representative of growth. I could never do what you do, putting yourself out there and presenting sometimes unpopular opinions. You've always sounded so self aware and reflective and I think that's the best thing anyone watching or in your circles could ever ask for. Keep it up, man, you're doing great
As a baldie to another, if you're insecure about it, just shave it.
That's what I did a few years ago, never looked back. Best decision of my life.
My dude, remember that there's a lotta skilled people with tiny streams because they're boring. People watch you because you're fun to watch. Play games, enjoy life, do your shit, and just take us along for the ride.
This is very true!
I think he should just take a break. He seems to get super upset about failing at certain games and like...does he realize most of us would perform similarly in front of a giant audience? Especially if we don't normally play platformers like Cuphead or whatever? I don't think that moving away from games like he said is the right idea. He should just take a few months off again.
@@slippyreportingin the problem is as he gets older hes going to get worse.
I completely agree. The problem with a lot of skilled streamers is the skill is all they have. They're boring as hell to watch because they're personality is like wet cardboard.
Man, just wanted to say that I love your content, SPECIALLY the react ones. Be happy! Stand tall!👊
Dude. Doesn't matter what content you do. Could guarantee 100k viewers for a sleep stream. You're a top entertainer. Keep it up 👌
I discovered you during the Depp trial. Besides being genuinely funny, you’re super insightful & intelligent & oddly zen. I’m a minor mom gamer but I don’t watching gaming at all. I like you as a person & dig your quick wit & I look forward to seeing whatever you do. We seem to have similar appreciation for the world, I hate complaining about what I can’t change. I had a very similar experience changing my view on the death penalty. My friend was wearing an interesting shirt, anti electric chair. She said basically what you researched about costs, & it doesn’t fix anything it just is more killing. I also adore the Gandhi quote “an eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.” I changed my mind right that minute.
I’m a solitary person as well. You have to do what makes you happy. I think you are a solid human with a lot of wisdom to impart. Stay well Zack
Extremely offtopic question- Just to make conversation entirely unrelated to your very well thought out message- "minor mom gamer", what do you play? You may find you're more than minor if its more than farmville 😋
I am in your lane. I also found Zack during JD trial. I agree with you on his personality, quick wit, intellect and genuine ways. I just felt a connection to his whole vibe. So I trust his vision for his streams.
Go take care of your kids wtfff

I dont think you give yourself enough credit about how valuable your authenticity is. You may not see it yourself, but your genuine belief in yourself, and resolve in your thoughts are truly something that I look up to as a role model; the majority of which comes through with your "just chatting" content. I feel blessed to have found your content a few years ago and have seen such an incredible growth over the past few years. I really look up to you and I know lots of others do; not for the money, but for the respect and dignity you show to yourself.
We love you for you Zack - sincerely, the silent majority
Authentic until one of his friends does something awful and then he is no longer authentic just a hypocrit.
Well said
@@tyco1649 @Ty Co I like watching Zack because his honest about himself and he knows his an asshole but he owns up to it. Unlike most influencers now a days. That's right his and asshole and that's why I watch him. It's fucking hilarious.

We appreciate your stream because you're intelligent, genuine, and authentic. The only thing that needs to change is that it's time to embrace a bald head. Much love ;D
Nah it gives him personality
There is so much impactful, yet illusive wisdom spoken in this video that I've actually had to add this to my Favorites playlist so I can rewatch/listen a few more times. There are many morsels of wisdom here that are so quick & subtle that it would be bad faith & unfortunate for anyone watching this to pass judgement on his words after just one & only one watch. There are things said here that really need to be considered by many. Maybe not just "considered", but even meditated on.
Is the video not working for y’all? I’m stuck on “tap to retry” pepehands
This be broken
I will be the hero and test it on pc, allow me to get my ass up..
seems to work fine on pc, must be a mobile thing
He's suffering from lonliness and depression, I can see that from a mile away
Do what makes you happy mate, the real ones stand by you no matter what content you produce. Not for the games, for your personality and your honesty.
The funny thing is I never cared about watching any of your content when you first started and heard of ya as you got big from WoW guild members, but now I actually watch your content now that you're more laid-back and chill I enjoy listening to you talking. ❤️
What i do not understand:
If you are financially stable and dont stream for the money... then why should you listen to people? Just do what makes you happy!
Greetings from Germany
I think it's the idea of being a streamer with such a large audience you feel obliged to appease them and making sure their enjoyment matters more than your own
if you're not a psychopath or sociopath, people affect you
Verstehe ich auch nicht so ganz.
exactly. he tries to please everyone sometimes which can actually displease everyone imo
I discovered you basicly with the reaction to the Sylvanas vs Lich King cinematic. Everyone else was like "Woahh so epic", meanwhile you stand there "this is bullshit". Thought a bit about it ant the little lore i knew about and yes, you are so right.
And that is what i love about your stream.
Independed opinions, deep knowledge and inside of how the world works and a very realistic view about everything.
Its your stream, your channel and you do what you want and do best. You have to enjoy what you do and i will watch you for that reason. Isnt easy to find such a strong personality in streaming this days.
So I still have a lot ahead of this video, but listening to what you said so far and where it's going, here is my take:
You as creator see the best what does well and what does poorly. Period. I get so many recommendations and comments like "Just do what you feel like", and while this does matter, it barely matters for the actual content. Now for me it's a bit different since I simply can't afford to fall off, which I do believe makes a difference, but the core is the same.
You spend a lot of time on your subreddit, and while I think it can be great, in response to the actual content it's super toxic. Before anyone jumps on this who is a frequent on the subreddit and may dislike me saying this: Take your time and go over actual criticism. People will write novels on how bad something is that Zack does while it just doubled or tripled his viewership. And while you may have people that only complain once, if everyone in a rotating schedule does that, you have a continous cycle of negative feedback. All the time. I rarely see someone complimenting or appreciating something, or rather it does happen but gets downvoted or barely any attention.
Your only feedback should be your performance. Now whether you act based on that or simply say it's a direction is up to you.
Now you did say "What do I do this for if it's no joy", and this is what I meant with the difference between someone on the edge and someone who can afford it. You can afford doing what you enjoy. You earned enough that you can live until the end of your life with your lifestyle. I think you'd be best off to do what you feel best with. That may not always mean what you personally enjoy the most, but where the result is the most satisfying.
Don't read too much into 200 upvote posts on Reddit whereas you have 50-100k people watching you. Same for the few comments that appear. You have a size where even 1% that hate you will make up 500-1000 people, and these people will make sure to be heard. I think holding that infront of your eyes is important.
I liked the Johnny Depp trial videos and some of the stuff where you watch other’s videos. However, I do prefer watching you play newly released games because I can watch you to see if it’s something I should buy or not.
I don’t car much for OTK or the studio stuff where you’re on a stage. I just want Zack at his house streaming from his PC.
Bro just into the first 10 minutes and ill keep watching
but i have to say that i have been watching you like on/off for the last 3 years but the last year like consistent
cause i value your personality and i think the way you live and stream is so unique to me cause you are so GODDAMN HONEST and that is which i value most in life honesty and being self relfective and you bring both in a way i can resonate extremely well with
yes i never have been vocal and never was typing in streams but IMO i can't add much by typing POGCHAMP and TRUE
i would be interested in having a real conversation but for that the medium "streaming" is just not made for but i am getting adrift
all in all i gotta say you are my favorite streamer cause you are exactly the way you present yourself
but dat shit you said about the ability to play videogames detereating just by all the worries of life and not actual physical "getting older" man dat shit hit deep and i feel that to the core of my heart..
for me you are sometimes comparable and yes that might be a hot take but Shakespeare cause he saw humans. He saw beyond what the "normal peron's eye" could comprehend which influenced his art and i kinda get the vibe with you too
you see alot that most people dont and you learned alot from that which made you at some point quite arrogant
but how can someone be arrogant if that what he says is common logic but these are things to be judged by others not ourselves.
only time will tell. the best of luck to you Asmon
just be yourself as you always did
Is the video taken down? Because I can’t watch it , says no stream
I got started on your content when I came across your mount off on WAW and you lost and I found it hilarious that your friend was calling you out on it the whole time. I came back to watching you over the last year and a half and have to say I really enjoy your reaction videos. You have some of the best reaction vids that I have seen, because most people barely speak on the video and just say subscribe as soon as the content is over. The way that you pause and actually engage with your audience and express your opinion while being open to other points of view is what I respect and enjoy. Keep on doing what you do and thank you for the content.
Love his startup story amazing back story honestly I like asmon he is one of the most humbling big streamers. Being older aswell close to 30 and going through some really tough things in my child hood and dealing with abandonment from family and being independent for along time and not tending to my health and letting myself deteriorate to cater to my family when I had no real support. This year I decided to say fuck it and follow my own dreams instead of corporate monotony unless I need cash. I have cash saved but need to pursue medical health related issues. Asmon has been an inspiration and I understand and respect asmons decision he should always do what's in his best interest. I have just been able to break out of my shell these past 3 years but haven't gotten anywhere in years like asmon has degrees I am anti social and a loner like asmon. Pray for me guys.
No one cares bro. Everyone has their own shit going on that they need to deal with. It’s part of everyday life. Being responsible isn’t something you should be looking for praise for. Especially in a UA-cam comment section. Grow up.
As an aging gamer, I totally get where you're coming from, Asmongold. As you age, your tastes and your abilities change. You also become more certain of yourself and know what's most important to you. Not everyone will stick with you as these changes occur, but I think enough of us will to make it worth your while to keep up the content. If not, then maybe that will be the time you decide to start the next chapter of your life. You've conquered this boss. You have nothing left to prove and all the money you'll probably ever need to be happy, so it will be the audience's loss when that day comes. Not yours. Do what makes you happy and let the chips fall where they may. And I completely agree that you do not owe anyone a platform especially if they are attacking you or making you angry. It's your content and I admire you wanting to stay true to yourself rather than chasing subs or followers.
Can't stay the same or else everyone will see it as fake. Which it is.
Yeah I've been forcing myself to play video games lately just trying to get that love again.
@@CapriciousTarot gotta eliminate things you worry about unfortunately. Some of those things you worry about, are probably important.
Now if you have nothing to worry about and still have no taste for games, I think you achieved many desires, that video games aren't appealing.
Maybe sacrifice one for the other but don't force yourself to like something that you don't. Not healthy
You’re a dope person and genuine, which is rare. I’ve only discovered you from UA-cam. I love your take on things, you’re fair, honest, and one of the few people who I like to hear think out loud.
I don’t play WoW or any MMO’s. I only purely know you as a personality and your better than almost anyone on the internet.
You’ve inspired me to get in the creator / artist game. I work in the music industry mostly behind the scenes, seeing the success you’ve built by just following what you love helped affirm what I’ve known in my gut for a long time.
Hats off for what you’ve accomplished, it’s not easy, and even harder to do with integrity.
Keep following what you love man, I would watch whatever you put up. I love it all.
whenever it's outside, you know it's gonna be a heavy one.
i understand what u mean about Austin Texas i lived there when i was younger and now anytime i got back it just doesn't feel the same. just feel like its turning into somewhere else.. make me really sad.
I just started watching you about 4 months ago and stayed around because you say what you believe, and you’re true to what you say, and I respect. I’m a bit older than you (38) and I see you going through a lot of things I did at your age and am still going through now. Today I discovered you streaming (gaming) on your personal channel and I watched that even though it wasn’t what I was used to. I honestly enjoy the integrity and honesty you seem to stream with, and even when you aren’t being up front about everything you seem to even have a way to let people know that one way or another without showing weakness, and in your own way.
Stay “battle ready” lol. Stay strong.
I don't know anything about the drama. I just know i love you and your content
@@DigitalLobstershow no. 100% HAVE an opinion, and sure maybe 51.00%-60% or whatever watch whether its youtube after the twitch streams or twitch streams or statistics together but all in all, people are people.
AMEN @Alex 0393
@@sallysiren1363
What's the drama?
@@x0gucx idk
Just a spectulation Mcconnel could also been adding to the stress and critcism. There has been so many times where he's come on Asmon's stream and said he miss the old Asmon and how the current Asmon only watches videos and not grind WoW all day. Or how old Asmon would make fun of the current Asmon. WoW is boring and the game doesnt care about the time you put into it; tbh all the games right now are pretty boring.
I've learned asmon knows what it takes to be such a good twitch streamer, so I think he should steer whatever course he wants to take this. Keep handling it whatever way you want. Genuinely, "it is what it is".
I joined since the amber trials, and I like your react videos and the way you really are. Keep going and find a good balance between which content to be yourself and which content (prob games) to have a small mask on
Your content has grown on me in the last year, and it's because you're more genuine than other streamers.
@@Puretea4711 that stuff is everywhere, so yes
I just wanna say that I really really appreciate you. But I will also admit that I've noted a bit of a negative change when it comes to your attitude and your reaction to criticism, which definitely made me wanna watch your stream and hear you talk less. I also found it weird that someone like you (who generally seems very reflected) defends things like your friends wanting to go to SA (for that charity event) or being a whale im Diablo Immortal. I also find it worrying that opposing opinions seem to become a reason for being banned or shit on rather that point of discussion.
Having that said, I really hope that you find your way back to what I see as your true self and become a bit more grounded again. I can image that getting a massive amount of positive responses (on stream) to basically everything you say might cloud your judgement sometimes, so I really hope you'll be back your old self soon.
Ya i really hate the whole banning people for criticism thing. Like come on that's not being yourself, that's just being an asshole.
Are you out of your mind? Only Asmongold knows what his true self is. Please go watch another streamer. The idea that you would want to hold a man back from growth is awful.
He hasn't changed. You just disagree with some of the things he says. He has stopped being politically correct and most people like me love the new direction of his content.
i agree with you
@@mazza6969 First of all there is no need to be disrespectful only because you disagree with my statement.
Second, I never implied that I want to withhold Asmongold from growing as a person. However, as a long time fan (not that it matters) I do wanna point it out when I see a change or „growth“ into a negative direction. Now you may have a different opinion of what that means (which is totally fine), but I remember a Zack that would not partake in whaling into a game fueled by microtransactions and that would call out people going to a country like Saudi Arabia to make money (and stating that he‘s do it himself since it only matter to him what he benefits from).
And since I really notice a negative change in a person that I respect and that brings me (and brought me) a lot of enjoyment, as well as a person that has a lot of influence on other people I will call out what I perceive as a negative change (without keeping anyone from growth). And if you happen to disagree with that or misunderstand me I‘m totally okay with that.
I dont watch alot of his streams, any context for this before i continue watching the video?
Your thoughts are insightful and you find such great content and I love hearing what you have to say - I don’t always agree with you but this is a good thing - You stimulated my mind/ encourage me to think and most of the time I do agree with you and your thought process/ values. You are able to put into words, idea’s and concepts that I struggle with and this is so valuable to me and I appreciate everything you do. Good Luck any direction you go and I will be there along the way. - Another 30yr old Casual Wow player since BC that’s scared to check his hairline - James
You may have the same problems I have with anxiety and I actually take medicine for it and does help a bit so I'm not shaking out of my skin. What is best to do is to do what is best for you.
I came across your stream during the AH/Depp trial and watched you daily. After the trial I continued watching you stream whether it was you gaming or talking about other issues. I enjoy you and your stream. Do what makes YOU happy and *uck the others. I’ll still be watching. You have every right to speak your mind. I enjoy your honesty an openness. As well as your a$$holeness. LOL
Be you, stay you, remain you!
Newfrog lmao
same here, i accidently watching him reacting to amber deep trial and been recently waching him since then if im awake. cant help it since usually asmond stream like 9 or 10 pm in my time. i really love that fall guys stream.
Thank you for the talk zack, I think you need a mythic shroom trip to get things into perspetive!
Dude, your doing a great job. And this stream is a perfect example. You simply know how to talk to people really well, and your honest with your feelings. Thank you.
Chill man, you are great and I think people love your way of being straightforward. You have the community’s support so you can accomplish your vision for the content. Stay true and everyone will continue to love you.
I usually can’t stick around for the whole streams but I do lurk occasionally and watch almost every YT video. Doesn’t matter what you play, a lot of people care more about content creators than their content itself :) Do what you want, some may be upset but can never make everyone happy
Love the channel! Love the variety!!! Keep up exactly what your doing bud!!! You are amazing because your setting boundaries in a way that isn't insulting are out if anger. You are a warrior brother!
I live right outside Austin, and yes the Cali's have moved in and taken over brotha. I'm a native Texan that's looking to relocate next year because of this change. Austin isn't the same anymore, makes me sad.
My bf and I enjoy watching your streams even tho we've both never played wow.
I think the fact that you are unapologetically yourself is why we find comfort in your videos. I'm sure there are times you may have expressed raw emotion on stream and others may have gotten offended but hey seriously, you're human bro. Especially since you've been at this for so many years. Becomes hard to stay the same for that long. So don't beat on yourself about following your own creative process and doing what you enjoy doing best. We look forward to seeing whatever you plan next. Much love 💛
Also idk how you're outside it's so hot out in tx rn 💀
Is this loaded.. is there no more streams? Also am I the only one seeing ‘no stream’
Overdevelopment is happening in my hometown too. One road is about to get it's 7th strip mall within a mile of my house. Theres a 7 story bank corporate headquarters that popped up seemingly overnight, and the town council gleefully pushes it along. It's a small city here now, but with even shittier infrastructure and less jobs.
26:16 the diversion can be disjointed or jarring. I always saw it as a personality trait unique to your element of identity or a key to strangers joining the stream that want to be engaged with what is going on. It sure makes past videos fun and funny to watch.
I never understood your fixation on being a "god gamer" and why you keep bringing up that your gaming skills are detereating. People never watched you in the first place for your skills in games. We love and watch you for your personality and entertainment. It was never about skills in games. I feel its just something you fixate on for some reason. No one cares if you suck at game, we are here because we enjoy your company as a person
All of his so called skill was based on his memory of weapons and armor and lore anyway, I don't think he was ever great at pvp for example, other than just getting a high achievement count, he's also world famous and running a company so he can't be as obsessive as he did when he had no life
As a non gamer gal, I thoroughly enjoy watching your content for just you being you. I love your practicality, humor, bluntness, and you just being your authentic self. (Which can be an asshole lmao) Its honestly very refreshing to watch. Proud of you for not holding back!!
Very true. His true self is whats best about his stream. Hes a real person and not just some fake persona
@@Dramox. mix of my husband and Asmons reaction content
I have a hard time comprehending as to why you needed to mention you were a gal. Non-gamer is understandable considering this is a channel of a content creator who plays games. It's a lot more funny because your name is clearly a, "gal" so, in conclusion, it was pretty useless for it to be said :p
Same :)
@@anaversary- Because it's relevant to his new audience. It's very clear that Asmon's audience has grown to include a lot of women and people who don't care about gaming. I understand it's hard to be left out of the cool kid's circle but you don't look good trying to attack a woman for her comment. Would you be upset if her comment had said she was a man? Nope. You'd have moved right along.
I found you from ff14 videos when I started playing and liked your stream.
And just great to watch. Do what ever you want man I'll watch it!
The older I’ve gotten the harder i find it to get invested in games. I have so many sitting unfinished, I move on to one > take it too slowly to really enjoy the experience > burn out. I’ve not completed Elden ring. I’ve attempted Red Dead 2 3, 3 TIMES!! i sunk 280 hours into cyberpunk without touching the main plot. I started a Stellaris campaign, I started a crusader kings campaign, I started Pillars of Eternity. NOTHING is holding my interest any more than 1/4 through the game. I even resorted to no living OSRS for 3 months and got halfway to 99 farming. Nothing sticks or holds my interest.
And I hate it!
Found your stream during the 2020 pandemic and I’ve never looked back. We’re damn near the same age and I feel the same way with gaming. Keep up the different content, Asmon. I’ll be watching.
You are fantastic. Your stream and entertainment value is broadening to a wider audience and with that growth comes discomfort for some. Keep yourself happy and the viewers will follow.
Let's put this in WoW terms. WoW started out one way and has changed so much that the original fans the game initially attracted and retaibed no longer recognize their game. Same goes with your product. When you change your product you can't expect all the og fans to be happy about it. It's your show, but come on man be realistic. Personally not a fan of react content. So you lose some one like me but maybe gain others who Ike reactions.
@@soulward6334 well that's okay then. Some of us just like having him around no matter what he's doing because we really like asmongold, the person. We all grow, change, adapt. We do what makes us happy
@@EddiXP completely agree with you but his stream is a product. If it changes he has to accept some people aren't going to like it. Feedback will be harsh as the internet doesn't hold back. It's the business he chose pros and cons.
I speak candidly when I say Asmon helped me go through a rough time and i support him. I loved and followed every video and I really enjoyed watching the DnD videos and also classic WOW videos here on youtube. But I have a problem which Asmon didnt really address and that is the react content. from what I saw spicificly statisticts that show react content bearly helps or even hurts the original creator and I know Asmon wont stop reacting cause its good for him and his stream but still its not great and I would have liked him to talk about his perspective on it a little bit more especially regarding Darkvipers statisticts that proves that exposure doesnt do anything to the original creator. Food for thought. Also Asmon if your reading this by any chance youre the best dude and I support you and thank you for being yourself and making a rough time for me easier.
Hearing you open up is always so precious, it's really appreciated. Please believe myself and many others understand in part and have so much love for you. Please keep doing what you want to do you wonderful soul. In a different life I think we could have been friends, as it stands I'm just an Internet rando but I sincerely wish you the best x
I first started watching you about a year ago when you started playing Final Fantasy XIV, as I'm an FFXIV player myself, but stayed around for Zack/Asmongold as a person regardless of the content. I identify and relate to a lot of your opinions, to the way you feel and think about things and it's really rare to find someone who's so much like us around this wide crazy world. You're super intelligent and have insightful, very fair opinions and ways to discuss things which I really appreciate. You say you're an asshole but you're more of a good-hearted person than you perhaps can see and that is why me and so many others stick around. Regardless if it's playing games, reacting, trial watching or just chatting with ppl your streams are always really enjoyable and I can only hope it brings you as much joy to make them as it brings joy for us to watch. Keep being true to yourself and what you want, my man, do what you enjoy and feel like doing. Wishing you all the best!
The background ambiance is like he's in the Southern Barrens! I like it :D
The problem with social media interaction is a question about your "personal armor". Even if your personal armor is very strong. Reading negative comments (as a small rock being thrown at that armor) are going to ,at some time, wear your armor down. Thats how i feel and thats why i quit reading them/quitting social media. I feel the same with my neighbourhood, alot has changed.
Stay good.
It’s kind of a funny parallel, but your main Twitch channel and secondary one reminds me of MTV and MTV2 from back in the day. MTV gradually stopped playing music videos and instead played them on MTV2. You’re playing less video games on your main and instead play them on your second channel. Might be too old of a reference for some ppl 😅
I prefer your non-gaming content more than your video gaming ones so this change works for me. I like how you’re able to think quick on your feet and articulate your thoughts. You know what’s best for your channel, just keep showing us too.
I'm only a couple minutes in, but from what I know about asmongold, my personal opinion would be that he would benefit a lot from a really nice apartment or condo. I know he could afford it. Somewhere there's food on site, or close by, cleaners can come through, a gym on site, just a bunch of quality of life things and a place he could live where he doesn't have as many day to day responsibilities. He said it's not because of his mom, but I know when my mom passed I wanted a whole new scene. The memories were too hard, and I was better off starting a new chapter of my life elsewhere. I don't know much about him personally because what we know is what he chooses to show, but I wouldn't be surprised if he also benefited from living with someone else, even if its a family member or a friend, or other streamer. I know it sounds obvious, but living alone gets lonely, and it can really have a negative affect on your mental health.
This is so true and should have more likes. I hope he has some personal friends who try to influence this. Not saying they don’t I just hope and assume they do
Asmon: "everything bad that happens to you is probably, to some degree, your fault"
Random chatter goes: "gets murdered"
at 0:44 lmao
Sometimes, to some extent it is. /j
"gets born poor"
LMAO
That line of thinking is so wrong lol. A ton of things in life will happen around you or to you that you have no control over. It's not your fault unless you're making objectively poor decisions and even then it doesn't always matter.
@@unknownguyindo4356 why /j? Matter of fact, I'd say, is that in the majority of cases, the victims did have some level of agency in the situation. The words 'probably, to some extent' make a big difference in this context.
whats summary?
Hey pal! I am a new guy to your channel few 3-4 weeks ago, never bothered to watch you before, but I am glad I do now coz you are very smart and funny at the same time. I am old school gamer from 90' and like you diablo stuff and some Wow also even tho original with lvl 60 max was best for me. Anyway, will you all the best here from Scotland as I can also see you are struggling mentally, hiding from outdoors, nature and society and not eating well.
Btw. you roast videos and people laughing at you hair etc are some of the funniest Ive seen in ages lol:) glad you take it so well. I am 37 also loosing hair slowly ;]
I started following you because I couldn't afford WoW, now honestly I watch you because it's you, it doesn't matter what you're doing, you're entertaining. I hope you keep doing whatever you like, it's your stream! Much love Baldy
I started watching right before the trial and enjoyed it. I'm with you I like being by myself in my house. You need to do you and not be worried about people, love ur channel... You can't please everyone so u just do whatever makes up happy.
No one finds it extremely strange that Asmon says he loves debating people, then immediately follows it up with "I don't want to be called out and argued with all the time" and "If I don't want to hear someone's side I'm just going to ban them because I don't have to listen to it" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? What?
i've always had massive anxiety with playing games live where i could get stuck in a loop of fuck ups like he was stating here. my ADHD makes some games way more confusing than they are intended. i'm 34 now but i've always had this problem with some games.
