"Because now I know you guys are really listening" - GOD DAMN Never was into the games or streamers like this, but man this was crazy to watch, and see how genuine this dude is and how much he grew as a person. Some wholesome shit. Excellent video.
*He stopped focusing on the trendy games that everyone wanted to watch, and started playing the games that were fun and interesting for him. Admirable, but comes at a cost.*
@@ElyasLumensPeople always try and undermine and cut people down. He plays what he wants to enjoy and doesn’t follow trends for views. Even though he’s “fine”, streaming to low viewer counts can be in motivating and not fun a lot of the time.
I love that this video doesn't drag the person down unlike most. But rather it was about celebrating and reminiscing the memories and the road the man went through.
absolutely. it's easy to breakdown someone's career in hindsight and paint them as a failure, you can do this with just about any streamer. myth is set, his family is set, and he's still young.
I feel like dude is one of the few streamers that could gracefully exit the industry, no drama, no controversy. He can put "streamer" on his resume like it was any old past employment. He can just tell people "I used to be a streamer." and not feel weird about it. That's really rare.
He could, but he's not doing that given that the only time people see him these days he's desperately chasing the camera around in group collabs of one streamer group or another. I'm going to guess he wasn't all that prudent with his cash when he had it.
I honestly clicked on this video to see what ridiculously horrific thing has this man done. Going through his journey to find out his views shifted bc trends change and audiences evolve... is kinda crazy. He seems like a genuine dude and I hope he stays happy no matter what happens in his career.
he made life changing money i guartanee any smart money manager could live the rest of their life comfortably for the rest of his life he doesnt gotta chase shit@@justarandompersonontheinte5044
SAAAAME..... I was like, "His face seems vaguely familiar... I think I've seen it before on some letsplay compilations." And I was wondering what super controversy did he take part in....? Cheating, Scamming, Doxxing, Bans??? Nope... just was caught in the rollercoaster wave that was Battle Royale streaming. That's all. Really makes you learn to enjoy and appreciate all the good moments life gives you. Cuz u never know what will happen after
I've heard of Myth before but never really followed his journey or his streams. Coming into this video I thought he did something terrible but it's just really unfortunate how his viewers dropped. He seems like such a genuine person, willing to even discuss his viewership drop takes such courage. I wish him all the best and that things start to look up for him
This is what happens to most people in the entertainment industry. People don’t realize that because they only watch/remember the successful ones. It’s a hard business that usually comes with short careers, or more often no money at all. That’s why people should be grateful for when it does work out, even when it’s short.
He stopped growing as a content creator and instead continued to grow as a person. Rather than chasing after what brings him fame, he chose to chase after what he actually enjoys.
his current content might not stand out to you as a person but there are still people who enjoy it. I get what you mean but still, his stuff will stay classic @@BossxCodxPlayer
What always stuck out to me about Myth was how genuine he is. I mean for a guy to talk about his own demise from his most successful part of his life up to that point, and to not hold anything back or make bad excuses is so incredibly respectable
The fact he even commented on this video and appreciated it shows he completely understands how his career has gone. He really does seem like a genuine dude.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died for your sins and rose from the dead. If you repent from evil ways, believe that Jesus has paid the fine for your sins on the cross and confess Him as your Lord, you will be saved. You see, we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, that's why Jesus Christ, fullness of Godhead bodily, lived a perfect life, fulfilled the prophecies and law, shed His Blood at the cross just so you could be forgiven, reconciled back to the Father, receive God's love, be made a new creation, whole, sanctified. It's not about religion and what good works you can do to earn salvation, it's only by grace through faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ. Read God's Word, preferably start with Gospel of John, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you, give you wisdom and revelation that way you're born again and see your life changed by the Spirit of the Most High. Much love and God bless you!
I'm 48 years old, not a gamer, never played Fortnite, and never heard of Myth before watching this video. What an incredibly crafted video and what a compelling story with a remarkably mature young man as the subject. I'll be rooting for Myth to continue to succeed in life.
This was a very well done video! 🔥 People’s interest change over time, so it’s super cool to see someone like this not be afraid to take a risk with other games regardless of his views dropping. I’ve seen many influencers stick with one game for years even after they got the bag and sometimes they just seem miserable still streaming/making content for that same game for years on end. Can’t make others happy if you can’t make yourself happy.
That's what happened to MarkOfJ he couldn't move on from Black Ops 3 because he realize he couldn't pubstomp in later games ... so every game after that he never played I'm talking 4 years uploading the same cod when 4 new cods have already came out .. even his followers begged him .. but he would always say the new cod are trash😂 but it was just because he wouldn't be able pubstomp
Trust. Its very miserable stickin to one game for the bag. I came up from pixel gun but then i became and adult and changed content killing my channel but it was worth it. Cause i cant stand that pixel gun game and im much happier playign the games i like for smaller views!
He didn’t fail. He doesn’t have a dark secret of him being an abuser or pedophile. Just a normal guy who was really good at the game, fell off and branched out. Unfortunately you rarely see that with influencers these days and that by itself is really admirable.
For once, it's not the 100th guy being caught messaging to minors that follow him. We never know though, they're strangers after all and parasocial relationships can cloud perception.
That's a respectable way to look back on his stream honestly. The bubble was always gonna pop, so what mattered most was really just how healthy he came out on the other side. Games are fun, views are just a number to distract from that
I gotta say man, I never had tears in my eyes over a content creator but Myth's journey as presented here really got to me in the end 47:30 - 49:25 where he really showed what a down to earth and genuine man he is! Much respect to him for staying true to himself! God bless you Myth.
Agreed, a lot of streamer downfalls feel deserved due to terrible personality traits or scummy shady stuff they've done, but Myth is just a genuinely good, kind guy who was unlucky enough to be the first at being best at Fortnite.
I hurt for the guy. He got me into the game, he was funny and relatable. He was serious when it was time to be and a beacon of positivity for random players. The game he was best at isn’t as popular and the community definitely isn’t as big
Fortnite is still surprisingly a popular game it’s just his skill isn’t up to par with more entertaining and better players. You got to take into account the people who watched myth’s growth also have grown up and the content has usually stayed at around the same things not evolving with his audience
It’s pretty sad because Myth is actually hella entertaining. Seems like a funny and intelligent dude. Edit: Some of ya’ll are taking this comment WAY too seriously. This is just my casual opinion. Chill! 😅
Disagree tbh ion really think he’s all that entertaining. He was just decent at Fortnite when everyone else was trash and bc it was the most popular game and he was considered one of the best players people watched him, but when the skill level caught up to him he really had no appeal. If people like tfue can quit for like a year and come back and do numbers playing any game, it really shows how much people don’t really care about myth. Don’t really have anything against the guy personally he seems nice but I can’t really name anything special or entertaining about him off the top of my head.
@@dreaddenji7757I think tfue is funny asf personally but agree to disagree, he’s not super high energy but he’s got that authentic dry humor. Also his irl shit is hella entertaining too. Tfue hasent been good at Fortnite since like season 9 and he doesn’t really stream enough to become a pro at other games, people just tune in cus they like him.
Myth is one of those dudes that I don't think anybody can be mad at or make fun of. He's just a chill dude who liked games and did what he did until he blew up. There was no intense drama, no crazy clip that went viral with him doing something insane or criminal or some part of his career where he went crazy and started burning bridges. And for people with such high peaks, it's just natural for it to go down eventually. That's what I appreciate him the most for. I know that he doesn't have some crazy history that made him lose viewers and that it's the exact same Myth we used to watch back in the fortnite days, just older and wiser. I respect that dude more than most content creators on all those platforms.
@@alxrbrs Myth can be admired that he was strong enough to not needing to overcome anything bad despite having situation totally predisposing him towards it when his viewership fallen down to almost 0.
Never watched a video by Myth, but just from this video alone, you can really tell how down-to-earth and genuine he is. He's such a respectable man, and you can tell he's in a comfortable place as a person and in his career. I love how well-put this video was, you completely humanized him and never criticized him for his decisions. I'm glad he has a fanbase that loves him as a person because he truly deserves the best of the best.
That's so true. I used to watch him, and in a way it is sad how he has "fallen off" but he seems genuinely really introspective and appreciative about the amount of success he ended up getting. I greatly respect him for that, and ironically, I think that makes him more deserving of any success that does come his way.
its honestly how crazy how much he fell off. you'd expect him to still have at least like half of ninja's viewership bc he really pioneered the game back then and was one of the first real greats. its a shame
Seems like a super genuine dude. His statement at 39:00 in shows how mature he is. The experience he's learned from is amazing he didn't just quit, like many people would. Way to go Myth!
Totally. I've never been a big fan of Myth. I feel like everytime I tuned in during his larger-than-life era it was just over the top reactions that seemed tailored to a very young audience. He's definitely grown up a lot and his self-reflection at that timestamp shows a lot of self-awareness and growth. Hope the best for him.
what a humble young man. people probably wanted him to snap but he just self reflected and handled all the pressures soundly and learned from it all. Happy for him. Hope he does well.
That sign off by Myth at the end was beautiful man. Massive respect for him and what he's achieved, he's matured so much and seems to be enjoying life much more now.
Fr..I didn't think I'd watch the whole thing so I watched it on autoplay as I hovered over the video. Found myself clicking on the video with 3 min left lol
it's not well made, he doesn't explain why a lot of stuff happens, no analysis, the reason for his decline in fortnite was already explained by the video he referenced in the video and Myth himself 💀
This is lowkey a life goal for many. He actually got inside his bag with the contract and his streaming to people who are there for him and not the game or skills. If I was a streamer i wouldn’t want fame, just a close knit community and being able to live off that now is definitely seen as success to many
the amount of respect I have for Myth is crazy, i have never really been a Myth 'fan' but that doesn't change the fact that this dude is mature and knows what he wants in life. He was at the peak, had all the viewers and fans he could've dreamed of and yet he didn't try to cling onto the fame and did his own thing once it all died out. He was young, yet matured real quick once the fame died down, nowadays you see sooooo many people doing anything and everything just to keep any kind of fame/relevance. (Mainly younger people) He did mention how, despite how that should've been the best time of his life it also came with really dark moments, but now he can just do what he wants without pressure, without stress, he can just live and enjoy. (Despite not being a Myth 'fan', the TSM House/stream moments were always hilarious and I tuned into those)
honestly, i love the fact that this video and narrator humanizes myths career instead of criticizing him like he’s just statistical data. huge props to you for recognizing myth is just a human living life and got the opportunity to do what he loves & not everyone needs to live up to godly standards. especially after seeing numerous of video essays shitting on him and his decline, this is just a refreshing and humanizing take on his career. ultimately, myth can live off of what he made and now has nowhere to go but up.

Much love and God bless you!
Myth talking about his emotions, being real and staying true to himself is something so special that people disregard when it comes to content creators. There's not enough content creators that stay true to themselves and choose to do what they love over gain and growth. Myth will always have me and many others respect for that
Myth is genuinely a good person in a crazy world, when he started streaming in 2016 it looks like he wanted to stay true to his roots & that’s what matters at the end of the day. He’s in a much better headspace from what it looks like & hope he keeps going
This video is such an eye opener to the harsh but beautiful reality of what the online space can offer, but also take away. Really well captured, and just an incredibly well rounded story. Loved watching every second, thank you!
Imagine if your addiction was your only livelihood and people kept telling you how lucky you are to be in a position where you can feed your addiction. It's an endless cycle: You get shit -> You lose control -> You play games to cope -> You get shit -> ♻️
@charlesm.2604 In all honesty, I'm in a position quite exactly like that. It's smaller but liveable. The reason I say this is mainly just the amount of negativity creators face as we see so much more commenting than irl just from the crazy reach social media has. This tends to get pretty crazy sometimes, but overall, the ability to do what you love will always be stronger for the majority and enough of a push to look past the problems. Even with the lowest of lows, this is a huge blessing!
@@Voxy Yeah I agree it's a drink the cup half full type of situation. It sucks that social media amplifies negativity but if you really think about it Myth has 60 people who care about him greatly to stick by him even in his lowest point as a content creator, that's a blessing.
I've never watched a single MYTH gaming stream. I know him almost solely from his occasional appearances on OTK streams and I swear before this video I was raving about how funny and talented he is because of him being in OTK's Wild West streaming event. I almost can't believe Myth didn't come from some Disney Channel or Nickelodeon comedy as a kid and emerge as this incredibly talented and charming adult actor who hangs out with his friends on their streams. He's still ridiculously young, but has a level of maturity and composure that you almost never see in anyone (especially a gamer) his age. I hope to see a lot more of him, because he's just always entertaining and genuine.
another banger! the few myth streams I've watched I found him very entertaining. hopefully he'll come back and find a creative stand he can stand on with a dedicated fanbase cuz he def deserves it
I used to watch Myth and TSM a lot in high school and they brought me so much joy because I didn't have a lot of friends and I was struggling with crippling anxiety, so they brought me a sense of comfort. I just remember them being so hilarious and entertaining. But let me just say how incredibly humble this man is. To go from one of the biggest streamers ever to where he is now is crazy in itself, but the fact that he just accepts it and is happy it all happened, is truly inspirational. I think that comes with a lot of courage. I think a lot of people can take a few pointers from Myth. Don't be sad it's ending, be happy it happened. I wish I could thank him for giving me such great memories to look back on. Wishing the absolute best to him and his future!
Damn, I guess that's a good point. To some degree, unless you're super lucky, you have to do questionable stuff or at least be somewhat fake to maintain such crazy fame through the internet alone.
His mistake was associating too much with people like Pokimane. It was clear how specific trends were draining people dry. Especially over the pandemic. The whole incestious community in LA surrounding streamers and streamer houses, has basically made SOME rich, and some poor. Interest and affinity was drained from some, and specifically deposited on others. Thats the free market, but some people like Myth seem excessive gullible. He clearly seemed to think those other streamers were his friends, not noticing how they actually just drained him.
@@iPancake3 It didn't say it, just a fact and something that's been common and happening a lot lately with other people too. What he took from it all is 100% true
Wow, this was a great video. Depressing the whole time, then towards the end hearing myth talk so positively made me smile. Looking back at all the old Fortnite times makes me feel so old and also wonder where time went. It feels like just yesterday Myth, Hamlinz, Daequan, Tfue, and Ninja were all the biggest streamers playing OG fortnite. Times changed and unfortunately this is the mental stress every single one of us serious content creators go through. I wish Myth nothing but success. To all creators just remember: those big highs wont last forever, what goes up must come down. Be happy where you are at all times no matter the viewership.
Damn this makes me wanna watch him stream. I got my Valorant Beta Key through his stream and liked his collabs with OfflineTV but seeing him be so humble and selfobservant is really impressive. This is what it means to grow up and be mature. He left behind trendy games to pursue the root of streaming, just a guy playing his favorite game
It takes a ton of grinding and dedication to get to an average of 50 subscribers. Myth earned everything he got, and even though it didnt put him at the top forever, you can tell it humbled him, and made sure he would never take for granted where he came from and where he was going!
It's remarkable that he's one of the most successful streamers of all time and hasn't been in any disgusting controversy. I don't know him very well, but I've seen some of his videos for content creators, and he's definitely one of those who leaves me with good vibes.
I've never heard of him because I've never played Fortnite, and I was kinda expecting that his fall was gonna be something about being toxic like a lot of people who got the fame into their head, but no. All I've seen is a guy just being genuine and doing his best to be happy. It's so hard to be on top, and I feel happy that he didn't force himself to keep staying there at the cost of his happiness and sanity. I'd call this a win. Now that I know him, I respect this dude.
Damn haven't seen that name for a long while. I remember that you were one of the few UA-camrs who uploaded Infinite Warfare content! Hope you can grow your viewership like back during your "days" again
I can't believe i forgot about myth. I'm so happy that he turned this around and bettered himself. I'm definitely going to check out his streams nowadays and give him the support he deserves
Being kind to everyone as you never know how they are feeling or what they are going through is a motto I go by. Myth is very humble and I respect him for being true to himself, even when he was going through dark times.
Seems like a wholesome guy. I'm glad he was able to see the heights of millions of fans, but happier that he was able to realize the value of a small group of supporters who genuinely like him for who he is, rather than what he does. Wisdom like that, rarely comes so early in life
I’ve always been a myth fan over any of the other big Fortnite streamers. It really was so sad to see his downfall happen in real time. I still will occasionally check into his streams and videos bc tbh this guy was such a big part of my life during that prime Fortnite era. Such a goat.
They was weak competitive players,Dae was exposed after they removed Double shot gun..Hamlinz was best there..but Myth,he revolutionise building back then he will be remembered. He had a good run..
Cant have more then respect for a guy being so honest and not ignorant at all. so humble. A great guy. I wish him luck and hope he finds passion and joy in what he do
This video had no business hitting me in the feels as hard as it did. I’m slightly older than the generation of peeps that got into Fortnite so never played, never heard of Myth. Was just here for the meme, but damn this video was just super well done. Props to the guy who put this together and even bigger props to Myth for his attitude on his “fall off” 👏
Myth is one of those streamers, where even if you haven't watched his streams previously, you know he is a genuine person or at least genuine in his efforts. There is something that comes across as genuine, authentic and true to oneself, and Myth is able to convey that without any of us having any back story. That is something special and unique.
This video was powerful and the ending part was emotional, it made me see how much went Myth through and the scary side of being a streamer. I hope you're doing well now, Myth >333
damn you're really underrated story teller. All little details told in this video is shocking on how much effort you put into your videos. Keep grinding!
This happens to a lot of streamers that blow up from playing 1 game . They don't build a community just turn stream on and expect stuff to happen and stay like that forever.
Focusing on 1 game vs being variety from the start (or just content in general more than 1 game or 1 personality focus) is night and day. If you're only known for Fortnite, but then start playing Red Dead Redemption and making content on it out of no where, your Fortnite content is what kept them. So people will naturally just leave and stop watching you because they didn't follow you for Red Dead Redemption content. If you're variety from the start, people will know to expect anything from you without ever knowing what to expect next. I suggest just trying to play around with content til something sticks, a format of content at least.@@ShawnFX
@@Retromatize got it, thank you so much for the detailed reply, appreciate it a lot!! I have a few games I want to start out with GTA 5, Madden, and Fortnite. I think its a good mix of different genres to start out with. Hopefully it works. Thanks again!
Yo fam this video was beautifully made, as an editor myself I know a lot of work was put into this video your storytelling skills are fuego. Also glad there’s more people using their platform to give insight instead of hoping on hate bandwagons to criticize and bash people. I only planned on staying 10 mins but got hooked and watched the whole 50.
I was not expecting this, it was so sad! I was expecting this dude to be some kind of prick but he's a genuinely sweet sounding guy. I feel so bad for him going through all of that. The ending made me cry. I'm really happy it all worked out for him.
what a video, the ending was so beautiful. I felt the compassion throughout the documentary. Well done Fainted and also Myth will always be a legend. I am reminded of the saying "to love one's fate" or "amor fati" after watching this
I never watched Myth’s streams but I have seen clips of him and I can tell he’s a genuine person. Just someone who is just doing stuff that he loves and enjoys and wants to share that to the world. This video made me realize how its unfair that streamers like Pokimane is more popular than him who is wholesome and genuine and is never in the spotlight for any controversy. Seeing Myth’s reaction absolutely broke my heart and I hope he keeps his head up through this. I can tell he still has a strong support community because of you guys. He got this.
he seemed so happy in that last clip, shows what massive fames does to a young mind when still developing. hope things get better for him moving forward
Back when fortnite was still new i was in highschool. I used to come home and watch his fortnite stream with my brother and dad. It became a routine we were looking forward to before hoping on to play fortnite ourselves with our friends. Thanks for the memories Myth
@@slice6027you'd be surprised how much people can make off of 100 chatters or so that are buying merch etc. lots of small businesses in the world that can make a living like that.
Incredible video! I really appreciate the fact that he could reflect on his decisions rather than blame people like how other popular streamers/youtubers would. And more importantly, I'm glad he hasn't given up on doing what he loves. He seems like a very genuine guy and I wish nothing but the best for him. The ending definitely made me tear up. Myth, if you ever read this, thank you for always staying true to yourself.
ive watched myth since March/April 2017 before Fortnite was even released and this video was absolutely perfect. thank you for highlighting his pre-fortnite streaming because that brought me hella nostalgia. watching him mature from a 17 year old barista to a 24 year old multi millionaire has been absolutely insane - hes even said himself he deserved to lose viewers because he got a bit of an ego and that i completely agree with. its quite bizarre watching him now because its exactly the same as 2017 xD

I honestly feel for Myth and will be going back to watching him. I haven't watched streams like that since I have my own goals too, but the last stream I watched was Myth's so there you go. I feel for him so much as a creator and wanna learn from so much. Thank you for this video man you did a great job. 🙏
man, good video bro, that ending especially, the writing, the editing, the music, very beautiful tone, makes me smile n feel melancholy at the same time. myth is a great dude, having a grasp to ur sanity is everything n i just think he just got it. all love man!
Hearing your voice was straight up whiplash. I havent watched any fainted content in ages not to mention I haven't seen much from myth since OTV days small worlx. I love this style of content though, keep it up man.
I never have watched myth but obviously hes a well known name. So i clicked this thinking it ended poorly. But my man stayed humble through it. Talks how he learned. And honestly mad respect. Him laughing and just having fun at the end and what he said to his chat made my heart smile. This was supposed to be background content while i mopped at work. It turned into a story that grab me by the balls. Good job with the video. And i hope myth continues to make content HE enjoys making.
only five minutes in right now, and i just wanna say that the amount of dedication that myth had towards achieving his dream is truly admirable and inspirational. He was consistently putting in the hours knowing that he was on the right track towards achieving his goal.
This was beautiful man . I haven’t followed him in years but I’ve always appreciated what he did. He open a lot of doors by being some young black kid that liked to stream . That man won in life . That last few minutes was so poetic about not caring about how many people he had because at least he knew that those 30 people finally listened to him . That’s beautiful ❤️
This is so sad but inspiring at the same time and it’s not at all where I thought this was going . I thought it was gonna be another story of someone caught cheating or doing something dumb that lost them their career but it was just unfortunate circumstances. He’s a good kid a good person and he stayed true to himself and what he believed I do hope he finds more success cause I can imagine not being able to share what you love to as many people as you could reach can suck.
Yeah, success can be defined in many ways. Being able to play what you want and not having to go with what's trending is already a success in its way 😊. He probably thought already that his reach would be limited but the man still does it; despite the financial security; the lack of reach still hurts probably 😩. The situation reminds me of the downfall of the views of Dakotaz's videos which I regularly watched before but his recent stuff doesn't have the same numbers as his peak 😢.
Your channel is everything SunnyV lacks and everything I respect from this type of deep dives. Compassion and that everything is not about numbers. Big ups from me 💯
Always respected Myth at EVERY step of the way; I love how you show the ups and downs of his career thus far in such a respectful light. So often these types of videos come with a sensationalist tone designed to generate hate, but this was... this was fantastic. Much love to Myth, where ever he goes, he'll find success. And thank you fainted for the video.
Honestly that was one of the most well constructed videos I've seen in a while and it wasn't just all doom and gloom and the ending really brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for making this, it truly was something inspiring to watch.
Man I love Myth and greatly appreciate the emotional roller coaster I went on through this video. Thank you to all content creators and phenomenal job on this
Honestly kinda wild that myth started off as a paragon streamer. I've never watched him or played fortnite but I used to play a shit ton of paragon. It was such a good game, basically just a more interactive League of Legends.
Theres nothing worse than being miserable at work. Being a variety streamer with constantly having thousands of views is a privilege. Not many streamers can just play what they want without losing viewers. Im glad Myth was able to make money and now do as he pleases without viewers really having to hamper his choice to be happy.
I don't have words to express how grateful I am for this, video left me in tears, thank you for this video.
❤️❤️❤️

@@Sx-xy2zii was finna say the same thing lol
He got the bag, but didn't secure it lol
absolutely. it's easy to breakdown someone's career in hindsight and paint them as a failure, you can do this with just about any streamer. myth is set, his family is set, and he's still young.
Why are you speaking for him?
I feel like dude is one of the few streamers that could gracefully exit the industry, no drama, no controversy. He can put "streamer" on his resume like it was any old past employment. He can just tell people "I used to be a streamer." and not feel weird about it. That's really rare.
wonderfull said
True
He could, but he's not doing that given that the only time people see him these days he's desperately chasing the camera around in group collabs of one streamer group or another. I'm going to guess he wasn't all that prudent with his cash when he had it.

SAAAAME..... I was like,
"His face seems vaguely familiar... I think I've seen it before on some letsplay compilations."
And I was wondering what super controversy did he take part in....? Cheating, Scamming, Doxxing, Bans???
Nope... just was caught in the rollercoaster wave that was Battle Royale streaming. That's all.
Really makes you learn to enjoy and appreciate all the good moments life gives you. Cuz u never know what will happen after
same right?
I've heard of Myth before but never really followed his journey or his streams. Coming into this video I thought he did something terrible but it's just really unfortunate how his viewers dropped. He seems like such a genuine person, willing to even discuss his viewership drop takes such courage. I wish him all the best and that things start to look up for him

This is what happens to most people in the entertainment industry. People don’t realize that because they only watch/remember the successful ones.
It’s a hard business that usually comes with short careers, or more often no money at all. That’s why people should be grateful for when it does work out, even when it’s short.

What always stuck out to me about Myth was how genuine he is. I mean for a guy to talk about his own demise from his most successful part of his life up to that point, and to not hold anything back or make bad excuses is so incredibly respectable
haha dookie
The fact he even commented on this video and appreciated it shows he completely understands how his career has gone. He really does seem like a genuine dude.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died for your sins and rose from the dead. If you repent from evil ways, believe that Jesus has paid the fine for your sins on the cross and confess Him as your Lord, you will be saved. You see, we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, that's why Jesus Christ, fullness of Godhead bodily, lived a perfect life, fulfilled the prophecies and law, shed His Blood at the cross just so you could be forgiven, reconciled back to the Father, receive God's love, be made a new creation, whole, sanctified. It's not about religion and what good works you can do to earn salvation, it's only by grace through faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ. Read God's Word, preferably start with Gospel of John, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you, give you wisdom and revelation that way you're born again and see your life changed by the Spirit of the Most High. Much love and God bless you!
I'm 48 years old, not a gamer, never played Fortnite, and never heard of Myth before watching this video. What an incredibly crafted video and what a compelling story with a remarkably mature young man as the subject. I'll be rooting for Myth to continue to succeed in life.
Gaming sure brings us all together even if you’re not a gamer

i went from not caring about myth at all to actually liking him because of how introspective and "wise" he became

Facts man
doesn't help he alienated his fanbase by getting into radical politics
no offense my man but you gotta be a teenager to think this guy is "wise", there are better people to gain wisdom from if you're going into your 20's.
This was a very well done video! 🔥 People’s interest change over time, so it’s super cool to see someone like this not be afraid to take a risk with other games regardless of his views dropping. I’ve seen many influencers stick with one game for years even after they got the bag and sometimes they just seem miserable still streaming/making content for that same game for years on end. Can’t make others happy if you can’t make yourself happy.
first!! And i agree a lot!
That's what happened to MarkOfJ he couldn't move on from Black Ops 3 because he realize he couldn't pubstomp in later games ... so every game after that he never played I'm talking 4 years uploading the same cod when 4 new cods have already came out .. even his followers begged him .. but he would always say the new cod are trash😂 but it was just because he wouldn't be able pubstomp
This is the best way of putting it in my opinion
He made his bag glad he's doing stuff for himself
Trust. Its very miserable stickin to one game for the bag. I came up from pixel gun but then i became and adult and changed content killing my channel but it was worth it. Cause i cant stand that pixel gun game and im much happier playign the games i like for smaller views!
He didn’t fail. He doesn’t have a dark secret of him being an abuser or pedophile. Just a normal guy who was really good at the game, fell off and branched out. Unfortunately you rarely see that with influencers these days and that by itself is really admirable.
I mean you don’t have to be a shitty person to fail at something. You even said it, he “fell off.”
100 % real he is a genuinely good guy. People have nothing bad to say about him about growing as a person. He really show the realness in the industry
For once, it's not the 100th guy being caught messaging to minors that follow him. We never know though, they're strangers after all and parasocial relationships can cloud perception.
@@dathunderman4did he really “fail” tho?
@@al4n534failed to adapt could be said.
That's a respectable way to look back on his stream honestly. The bubble was always gonna pop, so what mattered most was really just how healthy he came out on the other side. Games are fun, views are just a number to distract from that
I gotta say man, I never had tears in my eyes over a content creator but Myth's journey as presented here really got to me in the end 47:30 - 49:25 where he really showed what a down to earth and genuine man he is! Much respect to him for staying true to himself! God bless you Myth.
Agreed, a lot of streamer downfalls feel deserved due to terrible personality traits or scummy shady stuff they've done, but Myth is just a genuinely good, kind guy who was unlucky enough to be the first at being best at Fortnite.

I hurt for the guy. He got me into the game, he was funny and relatable. He was serious when it was time to be and a beacon of positivity for random players. The game he was best at isn’t as popular and the community definitely isn’t as big
Fortnite is still surprisingly a popular game it’s just his skill isn’t up to par with more entertaining and better players. You got to take into account the people who watched myth’s growth also have grown up and the content has usually stayed at around the same things not evolving with his audience

It’s pretty sad because Myth is actually hella entertaining. Seems like a funny and intelligent dude. Edit: Some of ya’ll are taking this comment WAY too seriously. This is just my casual opinion. Chill! 😅
Disagree tbh ion really think he’s all that entertaining. He was just decent at Fortnite when everyone else was trash and bc it was the most popular game and he was considered one of the best players people watched him, but when the skill level caught up to him he really had no appeal. If people like tfue can quit for like a year and come back and do numbers playing any game, it really shows how much people don’t really care about myth. Don’t really have anything against the guy personally he seems nice but I can’t really name anything special or entertaining about him off the top of my head.

Myth is one of those dudes that I don't think anybody can be mad at or make fun of.
He's just a chill dude who liked games and did what he did until he blew up. There was no intense drama, no crazy clip that went viral with him doing something insane or criminal or some part of his career where he went crazy and started burning bridges. And for people with such high peaks, it's just natural for it to go down eventually.
That's what I appreciate him the most for. I know that he doesn't have some crazy history that made him lose viewers and that it's the exact same Myth we used to watch back in the fortnite days, just older and wiser. I respect that dude more than most content creators on all those platforms.
So you're saying he didn't have any bridge moments.

Never watched a video by Myth, but just from this video alone, you can really tell how down-to-earth and genuine he is. He's such a respectable man, and you can tell he's in a comfortable place as a person and in his career. I love how well-put this video was, you completely humanized him and never criticized him for his decisions. I'm glad he has a fanbase that loves him as a person because he truly deserves the best of the best.
The ending of the video is so beautiful, I won't lie it had me in tears. Myth is such an inspiration.
sameeee i agree with everything that you said
That's so true. I used to watch him, and in a way it is sad how he has "fallen off" but he seems genuinely really introspective and appreciative about the amount of success he ended up getting. I greatly respect him for that, and ironically, I think that makes him more deserving of any success that does come his way.
@@nashiakiiMan... people need to stop cutting onions around here 😢😭
its honestly how crazy how much he fell off. you'd expect him to still have at least like half of ninja's viewership bc he really pioneered the game back then and was one of the first real greats. its a shame
It must be extremely frustrating considering his viewership fluctuates and dives so much.

Seems like a super genuine dude. His statement at 39:00 in shows how mature he is. The experience he's learned from is amazing he didn't just quit, like many people would. Way to go Myth!
Totally. I've never been a big fan of Myth. I feel like everytime I tuned in during his larger-than-life era it was just over the top reactions that seemed tailored to a very young audience. He's definitely grown up a lot and his self-reflection at that timestamp shows a lot of self-awareness and growth. Hope the best for him.
i didnt realize this is a 50 min video until i read this
what a humble young man. people probably wanted him to snap but he just self reflected and handled all the pressures soundly and learned from it all. Happy for him. Hope he does well.
That sign off by Myth at the end was beautiful man. Massive respect for him and what he's achieved, he's matured so much and seems to be enjoying life much more now.

Ok
it's not well made, he doesn't explain why a lot of stuff happens, no analysis, the reason for his decline in fortnite was already explained by the video he referenced in the video and Myth himself 💀
This is lowkey a life goal for many. He actually got inside his bag with the contract and his streaming to people who are there for him and not the game or skills. If I was a streamer i wouldn’t want fame, just a close knit community and being able to live off that now is definitely seen as success to many
32:25 all that needs to be said. he's just that guy
the hell you doin here g
i had no clue you used to keep up with fortnite streamers 😭
Erick bro why you everywhere 😭
ayo erick whats up
Ayo, where da weed at mane
the amount of respect I have for Myth is crazy, i have never really been a Myth 'fan' but that doesn't change the fact that this dude is mature and knows what he wants in life. He was at the peak, had all the viewers and fans he could've dreamed of and yet he didn't try to cling onto the fame and did his own thing once it all died out. He was young, yet matured real quick once the fame died down, nowadays you see sooooo many people doing anything and everything just to keep any kind of fame/relevance. (Mainly younger people)
He did mention how, despite how that should've been the best time of his life it also came with really dark moments, but now he can just do what he wants without pressure, without stress, he can just live and enjoy. (Despite not being a Myth 'fan', the TSM House/stream moments were always hilarious and I tuned into those)
honestly, i love the fact that this video and narrator humanizes myths career instead of criticizing him like he’s just statistical data.
huge props to you for recognizing myth is just a human living life and got the opportunity to do what he loves & not everyone needs to live up to godly standards.
especially after seeing numerous of video essays shitting on him and his decline, this is just a refreshing and humanizing take on his career. ultimately, myth can live off of what he made and now has nowhere to go but up.

Myth talking about his emotions, being real and staying true to himself is something so special that people disregard when it comes to content creators. There's not enough content creators that stay true to themselves and choose to do what they love over gain and growth. Myth will always have me and many others respect for that
Myth is genuinely a good person in a crazy world, when he started streaming in 2016 it looks like he wanted to stay true to his roots & that’s what matters at the end of the day. He’s in a much better headspace from what it looks like & hope he keeps going
This video is such an eye opener to the harsh but beautiful reality of what the online space can offer, but also take away. Really well captured, and just an incredibly well rounded story. Loved watching every second, thank you!
Imagine if your addiction was your only livelihood and people kept telling you how lucky you are to be in a position where you can feed your addiction.
It's an endless cycle:
You get shit -> You lose control -> You play games to cope -> You get shit -> ♻️
@charlesm.2604 In all honesty, I'm in a position quite exactly like that. It's smaller but liveable. The reason I say this is mainly just the amount of negativity creators face as we see so much more commenting than irl just from the crazy reach social media has. This tends to get pretty crazy sometimes, but overall, the ability to do what you love will always be stronger for the majority and enough of a push to look past the problems. Even with the lowest of lows, this is a huge blessing!
@@Voxy Yeah I agree it's a drink the cup half full type of situation. It sucks that social media amplifies negativity but if you really think about it Myth has 60 people who care about him greatly to stick by him even in his lowest point as a content creator, that's a blessing.
Such an honest creator. He has come a long way. I know he is destined for something even greater. Best of luck to Myth
Seeing the footage of Myth reflecting on his own career makes me really respect the man and his honesty. That's some real self-reflection.
I've never watched a single MYTH gaming stream. I know him almost solely from his occasional appearances on OTK streams and I swear before this video I was raving about how funny and talented he is because of him being in OTK's Wild West streaming event. I almost can't believe Myth didn't come from some Disney Channel or Nickelodeon comedy as a kid and emerge as this incredibly talented and charming adult actor who hangs out with his friends on their streams. He's still ridiculously young, but has a level of maturity and composure that you almost never see in anyone (especially a gamer) his age. I hope to see a lot more of him, because he's just always entertaining and genuine.
another banger! the few myth streams I've watched I found him very entertaining. hopefully he'll come back and find a creative stand he can stand on with a dedicated fanbase cuz he def deserves it
He’s always doing stuff with the OTK guys

Man, those last few clips of myth laughing made me wanna cry. I knew who myth was but I never watched his content, but I think I'm a fan of his now.
I used to watch Myth and TSM a lot in high school and they brought me so much joy because I didn't have a lot of friends and I was struggling with crippling anxiety, so they brought me a sense of comfort. I just remember them being so hilarious and entertaining. But let me just say how incredibly humble this man is. To go from one of the biggest streamers ever to where he is now is crazy in itself, but the fact that he just accepts it and is happy it all happened, is truly inspirational. I think that comes with a lot of courage. I think a lot of people can take a few pointers from Myth. Don't be sad it's ending, be happy it happened.
I wish I could thank him for giving me such great memories to look back on. Wishing the absolute best to him and his future!
You can tell that he is a genuine guy, almost too genuine to stay at the top of the entertainment industry.
Exactly
Damn, I guess that's a good point. To some degree, unless you're super lucky, you have to do questionable stuff or at least be somewhat fake to maintain such crazy fame through the internet alone.
His mistake was associating too much with people like Pokimane.
It was clear how specific trends were draining people dry. Especially over the pandemic.
The whole incestious community in LA surrounding streamers and streamer houses, has basically made SOME rich, and some poor.
Interest and affinity was drained from some, and specifically deposited on others. Thats the free market, but some people like Myth seem excessive gullible.
He clearly seemed to think those other streamers were his friends, not noticing how they actually just drained him.
@@livinlicious Where in the video does it say that? Unless you're just being parasocial
@@iPancake3 It didn't say it, just a fact and something that's been common and happening a lot lately with other people too. What he took from it all is 100% true
Wow, this was a great video. Depressing the whole time, then towards the end hearing myth talk so positively made me smile. Looking back at all the old Fortnite times makes me feel so old and also wonder where time went. It feels like just yesterday Myth, Hamlinz, Daequan, Tfue, and Ninja were all the biggest streamers playing OG fortnite. Times changed and unfortunately this is the mental stress every single one of us serious content creators go through. I wish Myth nothing but success.
To all creators just remember: those big highs wont last forever, what goes up must come down. Be happy where you are at all times no matter the viewership.
Damn this makes me wanna watch him stream. I got my Valorant Beta Key through his stream and liked his collabs with OfflineTV but seeing him be so humble and selfobservant is really impressive. This is what it means to grow up and be mature. He left behind trendy games to pursue the root of streaming, just a guy playing his favorite game
It takes a ton of grinding and dedication to get to an average of 50 subscribers. Myth earned everything he got, and even though it didnt put him at the top forever, you can tell it humbled him, and made sure he would never take for granted where he came from and where he was going!
It's remarkable that he's one of the most successful streamers of all time and hasn't been in any disgusting controversy. I don't know him very well, but I've seen some of his videos for content creators, and he's definitely one of those who leaves me with good vibes.
This is such a heartwarming video, you should feel proud of yourself for making it.
It is legit fantastic.
I've never heard of him because I've never played Fortnite, and I was kinda expecting that his fall was gonna be something about being toxic like a lot of people who got the fame into their head, but no. All I've seen is a guy just being genuine and doing his best to be happy. It's so hard to be on top, and I feel happy that he didn't force himself to keep staying there at the cost of his happiness and sanity. I'd call this a win. Now that I know him, I respect this dude.
Respect to myth. He literally said FUCK fame. FUCK trends. Im gonna play and stream what i like, what i enjoy, what i WANT to do.
Truly admirable.

Nothing but mad respect. Nothing to regret, had a great run, something forever to be proud of.
Great I wouldn’t say, I’d say short lived positive run. Unfortunately he was his own downfall no one else, when you’re your worst enemy
Seems like a wholesome guy. I'm glad he was able to see the heights of millions of fans, but happier that he was able to realize the value of a small group of supporters who genuinely like him for who he is, rather than what he does. Wisdom like that, rarely comes so early in life
I’ve always been a myth fan over any of the other big Fortnite streamers. It really was so sad to see his downfall happen in real time. I still will occasionally check into his streams and videos bc tbh this guy was such a big part of my life during that prime Fortnite era. Such a goat.

This docu-story was tastefully well done. Watched from beginning to end in one sitting. Great story. Great job.
Cant have more then respect for a guy being so honest and not ignorant at all. so humble. A great guy. I wish him luck and hope he finds passion and joy in what he do
This video had no business hitting me in the feels as hard as it did. I’m slightly older than the generation of peeps that got into Fortnite so never played, never heard of Myth. Was just here for the meme, but damn this video was just super well done. Props to the guy who put this together and even bigger props to Myth for his attitude on his “fall off” 👏
Myth is one of those streamers, where even if you haven't watched his streams previously, you know he is a genuine person or at least genuine in his efforts. There is something that comes across as genuine, authentic and true to oneself, and Myth is able to convey that without any of us having any back story. That is something special and unique.
This video was powerful and the ending part was emotional, it made me see how much went Myth through and the scary side of being a streamer. I hope you're doing well now, Myth >333
damn you're really underrated story teller. All little details told in this video is shocking on how much effort you put into your videos. Keep grinding!
This happens to a lot of streamers that blow up from playing 1 game . They don't build a community just turn stream on and expect stuff to happen and stay like that forever.
He didnt have as much personality then as he had now but now he really deserves to be popular
So you're saying to play multiple games to have a variety of viewers? I'm trying to start a gaming channel but I don't want to focus on only one game
Focusing on 1 game vs being variety from the start (or just content in general more than 1 game or 1 personality focus) is night and day. If you're only known for Fortnite, but then start playing Red Dead Redemption and making content on it out of no where, your Fortnite content is what kept them. So people will naturally just leave and stop watching you because they didn't follow you for Red Dead Redemption content. If you're variety from the start, people will know to expect anything from you without ever knowing what to expect next.
I suggest just trying to play around with content til something sticks, a format of content at least.@@ShawnFX

I'm really happy it all worked out for him.
what a video, the ending was so beautiful. I felt the compassion throughout the documentary. Well done Fainted and also Myth will always be a legend. I am reminded of the saying "to love one's fate" or "amor fati" after watching this
I never watched Myth’s streams but I have seen clips of him and I can tell he’s a genuine person. Just someone who is just doing stuff that he loves and enjoys and wants to share that to the world. This video made me realize how its unfair that streamers like Pokimane is more popular than him who is wholesome and genuine and is never in the spotlight for any controversy.
Seeing Myth’s reaction absolutely broke my heart and I hope he keeps his head up through this. I can tell he still has a strong support community because of you guys. He got this.
he seemed so happy in that last clip, shows what massive fames does to a young mind when still developing. hope things get better for him moving forward
Back when fortnite was still new i was in highschool. I used to come home and watch his fortnite stream with my brother and dad. It became a routine we were looking forward to before hoping on to play fortnite ourselves with our friends. Thanks for the memories Myth
Tbf those under 100 viewer chats are always the best ones to be apart of.
Honestly, I agree with you on that. They be the down to earth chats no matter what.
Yup but 100 viewer chats don't pay the bills unfortunately
@@slice6027you'd be surprised how much people can make off of 100 chatters or so that are buying merch etc. lots of small businesses in the world that can make a living like that.
Incredible video! I really appreciate the fact that he could reflect on his decisions rather than blame people like how other popular streamers/youtubers would. And more importantly, I'm glad he hasn't given up on doing what he loves. He seems like a very genuine guy and I wish nothing but the best for him. The ending definitely made me tear up. Myth, if you ever read this, thank you for always staying true to yourself.
ive watched myth since March/April 2017 before Fortnite was even released and this video was absolutely perfect. thank you for highlighting his pre-fortnite streaming because that brought me hella nostalgia. watching him mature from a 17 year old barista to a 24 year old multi millionaire has been absolutely insane - hes even said himself he deserved to lose viewers because he got a bit of an ego and that i completely agree with. its quite bizarre watching him now because its exactly the same as 2017 xD
Barista ?? Tim Hortons barista💀💀💀😂😂😂
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died for your sins and rose from the dead. If you repent from evil ways, believe that Jesus has paid the fine for your sins on the cross and confess Him as your Lord, you will be saved. You see, we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, that's why Jesus Christ, fullness of Godhead bodily, lived a perfect life, fulfilled the prophecies and law, shed His Blood at the cross just so you could be forgiven, reconciled back to the Father, receive God's love, be made a new creation, whole, sanctified. It's not about religion and what good works you can do to earn salvation, it's only by grace through faith in the finished works of Jesus Christ. Read God's Word, preferably start with Gospel of John, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you, give you wisdom and revelation that way you're born again and see your life changed by the Spirit of the Most High. Much love and God bless you!
This was such a nice video. I didn't know Myth other than having heard his name here and there but this video made me feel for him. Good job, Fainted.
Holy shit, I didn't expect to cry with that ending, WELL DONE, WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!
I honestly feel for Myth and will be going back to watching him.
I haven't watched streams like that since I have my own goals too, but the last stream I watched was Myth's so there you go. I feel for him so much as a creator and wanna learn from so much. Thank you for this video man you did a great job.
🙏
man, good video bro, that ending especially, the writing, the editing, the music, very beautiful tone, makes me smile n feel melancholy at the same time. myth is a great dude, having a grasp to ur sanity is everything n i just think he just got it. all love man!
Hearing your voice was straight up whiplash. I havent watched any fainted content in ages not to mention I haven't seen much from myth since OTV days small worlx. I love this style of content though, keep it up man.
Never watched myth, but now i might tune in every now and then
He isn’t giving up so you have to respect him for it regardless 💚 wish you well myth !!
I never have watched myth but obviously hes a well known name. So i clicked this thinking it ended poorly. But my man stayed humble through it. Talks how he learned. And honestly mad respect. Him laughing and just having fun at the end and what he said to his chat made my heart smile. This was supposed to be background content while i mopped at work. It turned into a story that grab me by the balls. Good job with the video. And i hope myth continues to make content HE enjoys making.
only five minutes in right now, and i just wanna say that the amount of dedication that myth had towards achieving his dream is truly admirable and inspirational. He was consistently putting in the hours knowing that he was on the right track towards achieving his goal.
Myth seems like a genuine nice guy. He definitely succeeded more than most can ever dream. It’s cool when it happens to good people. Good for you.
This was beautiful man . I haven’t followed him in years but I’ve always appreciated what he did. He open a lot of doors by being some young black kid that liked to stream . That man won in life . That last few minutes was so poetic about not caring about how many people he had because at least he knew that those 30 people finally listened to him . That’s beautiful ❤️
This is so sad but inspiring at the same time and it’s not at all where I thought this was going . I thought it was gonna be another story of someone caught cheating or doing something dumb that lost them their career but it was just unfortunate circumstances. He’s a good kid a good person and he stayed true to himself and what he believed I do hope he finds more success cause I can imagine not being able to share what you love to as many people as you could reach can suck.
Dude already has financial freedom for life. He can just do whatever he wants for the rest of his life with no worry of money, I think he'll be fine.
Yeah, success can be defined in many ways. Being able to play what you want and not having to go with what's trending is already a success in its way 😊.
He probably thought already that his reach would be limited but the man still does it; despite the financial security; the lack of reach still hurts probably 😩.
The situation reminds me of the downfall of the views of Dakotaz's videos which I regularly watched before but his recent stuff doesn't have the same numbers as his peak 😢.
This video is so oddly wholesome. He never really fell, he just never tried to keep the attention. really amazing
So happy this video was made. A very realistic and mature reflection on his career.
Kudos to Myth man. He’s grown so much, and it’s super admirable of him to stick to himself and what he wants to do, instead of tryna stay “relevant.”
I didn't expect to watch all 50 mins of this video, but dang... Time flew by, great pacing, editing, narrating, and just overall great video!
Your channel is everything SunnyV lacks and everything I respect from this type of deep dives.
Compassion and that everything is not about numbers.
Big ups from me 💯
Always respected Myth at EVERY step of the way; I love how you show the ups and downs of his career thus far in such a respectful light. So often these types of videos come with a sensationalist tone designed to generate hate, but this was... this was fantastic. Much love to Myth, where ever he goes, he'll find success. And thank you fainted for the video.
Video made me tear up at the end 😢 Crazy to imagine 5-6 years later and things are so different. Wish Myth the best he doesn’t deserve to fall off ❤️
49:03 "I WOULDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING" is a proff that he's doing the right thing and he made peace with his past. good for you Myth
Honestly that was one of the most well constructed videos I've seen in a while and it wasn't just all doom and gloom and the ending really brought a tear to my eye.
Thank you for making this, it truly was something inspiring to watch.
Man I love Myth and greatly appreciate the emotional roller coaster I went on through this video. Thank you to all content creators and phenomenal job on this
Watched the whole thing. Loved the ending. I havnt streamed in years and this was awesome.
hey grossgore
Omg my fav tf player and fav cuck of all time
pedo
Honestly kinda wild that myth started off as a paragon streamer. I've never watched him or played fortnite but I used to play a shit ton of paragon.
It was such a good game, basically just a more interactive League of Legends.
Myth really went from being the one and only myth to becoming a myth
“Ironic” - some evil old dude
Theres nothing worse than being miserable at work. Being a variety streamer with constantly having thousands of views is a privilege. Not many streamers can just play what they want without losing viewers. Im glad Myth was able to make money and now do as he pleases without viewers really having to hamper his choice to be happy.
