    I honestly didn't know that it was him who leaked Jaiden's face and then made that art piece knowing full well that she was dealing with eating disorders, but the fact that I now know what he did, I'm very glad to had never subscribed to him since his content felt kinda...off when I saw a few videos of his. Like it was meant for a different kind of audience than what most story animators do where its more on the middle ground, but even if he did apologized for his actions and Jaiden forgave him, that won't make anyone forget about what he did to her when she was at her absolute lowest as a UA-camr back in 2016

      @@loosenuplockz4219 Look, idk why you're this salty about a situation that happened almost a decade ago but I'll just say this. Yes, she did gave him permission to release the video AT FIRST before she was dealing with major depression and its once she wasn't feeling well that she contacted him about editing the video so her face wasn't in the vidcon video. Instead of listening to her and allowing the edited version of the video to be posted, he went behind her word and posted the video anywho with no regard to her mental health issues at the time. That's where she had to show everyone her face in one of her videos at that time and told anyone who asked to see her face to please stop asking after she posted her 'face reveal' video explaining why she's not comfortable with showing it at that time.
      There's a huge difference between being okay AT FIRST and then not being okay with it, only for them to post it anywho and one being okay with it when they're not and never saying anything. She told him and even offered to edit the video, he declined her request and still posted it anywho meanwhile Rebecca did the complete opposite and even offered to remove her video entirely to relieve her friend's stress of her face being shown at that time in her life. I did my research my man, you just need to be less salty with your words next time

Also he saw Odd1sout’s video on board games and when he mentioned chess boxing saw it as a way to further his own channel so he challenged Odd1sout to a match which saw little to no growth. Also the whole Jaiden face reveal thing which was scummy. Always seemed like he was more of a sleazy businessman than a friend which is why people found his stuff not genuine and why he moved his channel to pervy content like dating his babysitter when he was a kid which appealed to kids and preteens.

Like sure he got views and stuff but that whole thing was a PR disaster in the long run. Since he doesn’t seem to have morals you’d expect him to have some care for PR.

      I don’t think people are being fair on him though. What he did, was try to solve the problem. So his intentions were good, but jaiden didn’t want the problem to be fixed. All she wanted was a little more time. Alex Clark doesn’t deserve the death threats, no one does. I think jaiden animtaions not including the fact that he leaked her face reveal is proof that she didn’t want people to harass him. But people are harassing him, which is not fair. If you plan to go to his channel, send him constructive criticism, not straight up harassment..

    @maxthecharacter1296 4 місяці тому +26

    Even though this video is a year old, I wouldn't say the cause of his channel's decline was due to downfall of UA-cam animation. Why? Because there isn't a downfall, not when UA-cam shorts have been around for a long time now. Heck, I would say UA-cam animation is doing great. I have seen animation channels which seemed to be in some decline suddenly experience a spike in views and subs upon pivoting some of their effort to UA-cam shorts.
    What's happening to Alex is because storytime animation is on a decline.
    While you will see some storytime animation UA-camrs still do this, some of them have learned to mix up their content with something else (e.g. game review, silly slapstick comedy, etc).
    But you're right. Alex hasn't learned to innovate his content. He still tries to stick to storytime animations, when that isn't popular anymore. His controversy with Jaiden animation could've been a factor, but I think so much time has passed that people should've genuinely forgotten.
    If I were him, I would minimize the storytime animations, and stop making videos regarding the poor state of the channel. I would also focus a little more on UA-cam shorts, along with an animation update to attract old and new subscribers' attention. Also, the new content has to be something fresh and on popular topic, such as his views on movies, sports, anime, while sprinkling a bit of what made him popular in them.

      Not trying to defend the guy, but the reason being why he did so is because he was first unaware of Jaiden's situation.

    To be honest, I think the whole thing with Jaiden got way out of hand. Don‘t get me wrong: I think he handled the whole thing very poorly and should have been waaaay more sensitive to how much of a big deal this was for Jaiden. Revealing her face when she clearly asked him not to should never have happened. It was a big eff-up on his part. However, my impression was that it happened out of carelessnes/insensitivity rather than malice. He simply did not realize how problematic the face reveal was for Jaiden (which he totally should have). When I first became aware of the situation and looked into it, I found a vid of Jaiden where she explained the whole affair from her point of view but deliberatly kept Alex anonymous (like she did in the clip shown in this video) because she didn‘t want this unpleasant situation to become a big deal. Then, the UA-cam-lynchmob started pointing fingers at Alex, making a HUGE deal out of the issue and acting like they were white-knighting Jaiden while simultaniously blatantly ignoring her wish to let it all die down quietly. My impression of Alex is that he is an all in all okay guy who messed up big time in this particular situation.

    Great video man. I would like to give my own prespective to this.
    I watched both videos (Alex's and Anthony's, as well as jaiden's "Why i dont have a face reveal"), and I have come to realize that Alex did not in fact do what he did out of "support" for Jaiden, he just wanted them sweet youtube views.
    Although I am disappointed in him, since I used to watch his content a lot, I have slowly -somewhat- forgiven him for what he did.
    Did he do something for personal gain that mortified Jaiden? Oh for sure and I feel horrible for her. But now, Jaiden has moved on from it, as she has stated on her own in Anthony's video that she is not that shy and insecure person she used to be. Plus, although alex fucked up very badly, in the end he did do the "right thing" by deleting the video and (from his prespective, don't know if it's fully true) apologising to Jaiden. I feel like his video was not really an apology, rather an explanation from his prespective, which might not be fully true, but we will never know.
    In the end, what I want to say from all this is that we all fuck up. No one is a sinless angel, we will all do some things that won't be "nice". Alex did something horrible which has disappointed me, but it happened almost 8 years ago. That's almost an entire decade, both Alex and Jaiden are over this already, so why aren't we yet?

    His content is definitely trying, but he's not really able to do a lot, since he has so many subscribers that don't watch his channel.

Body dysmorphia is a real thing and if I were a popular internet creator that hadn’t shown my face and was in midst of an ED and someone posted me even after telling them not to, I would’ve spiraled. Jaiden took a lot of encouragement to tell people about what she was struggling with, and for him to have a lack of respect and even going against her wishes is shitty. It’s not petty.

    I'm not gonna lie I completely forgot about him but that's when people said some of the stuff he did which was horrible

    I honestly just think it was the Jaiden situation. It was a stupid and selfish thing to do. He didn't go through the issues that Jaiden did et he disregarded them instead of taking her word for it. She hated herself and even blamed herself for it. What a selfish idiot.

    Guys the Babysitter story was not predatory at all he was 13 and the babysitter was 15. I actually liked that series very much! Too bad he didnt make anything like it afterwards.

    I feel bad for jaiden because on top of everything, she never once admitted it was him because she didnt want to get people on him. She didnt want to hurt this man who had already done so much harm to her. I'm just saying.
    (also personally he always seemed obnoxious and douchebag-ey to me, not to mention how weird and gross his content was for a genre of youtuber with typically younger audiences... glad he's irrelevant now)

    I might sound a bit harsh when I say this and I don't want to be hateful towards Alex but what he did to Jaiden during the vidcon incident was absolutely infuriating. Me personally I would never forgive the person who leaked my face when I'm at the lowest point on my life. Even when I told them why I never wanted my face shown online but I'm glad and relieved that he apologized to her privately and she handled the situation better than she should've. And again, I'm not gonna say that he's a bad guy because he's not and I do not want to believe that he is. He is a human being and we all make mistakes whether they are forgivable or not. The hateful comments that he mentioned in his video about the vidcon incident was VERY unnecessary and they really hurt him. I genuinely felt terrible and bad for him. This is just my opinion.

    Honestly, I loved and enjoyed Alex Clark youtube channel. But as soon as it was revealed that it was Alex who was the one who uploaded Jaden's uncensored face is when I stopped watching or supporting his channel all together.
    It'd be one thing if Alex didn't know what Jaden was going through, but she told him, and he did, and uploaded the video anyway.
    I refuse to support a channel from a person who's directly responsible for making someone's mental health worse than it already was.
    Quite frankly, I don't care if Alex deleted the video and made an apology. Whether Jaden actually forgave him or not, I still refuse to watch his videos. I never even search them or comment on his videos over what he did. Mostly because that would've still given him views and attention, which he doesn't deserve. Alex Clark simply isn't worth the energy.
