Top of the morning to you laddies!
My name is Jacksepticeye and a special delivery came today!
Somthin' that I almost missed a couple of times...
and it's actually spoiled by the title and the fricking thumbnail in the video
so I'm just gonna get into it and show it!
uhm... it's this... *groans*
GOD, it's so fuckin' heavy!
It's THIS! It's the DIAMOND PLAY BUTTON from Youtube!
Which is so cool!
Finally!
'Cause-- oh I'm not saying like, "Finally, yes! I deserve this! FINALLY! It's here in my hands!"
But because they tried to send it to me a bunch of times...
and they told me like, a month and a half ago that it was being sent out
and I was like "Oh, okay, it'll arrive in about 3 weeks" 'cause it's from America.
And then they tried to send it a bunch of times when I was at PAX!
And they e-mail me and their like, uh... "You're gonna miss this if you're not here to collect it."
Uh... "Can you be at home?"
And I was like "Uh, sorry I got delayed in fuckin' Boston for a whole day". Not my fault!
Anyway, here it is! It's still in the plastic though, so I apologize.
So let's get it out! I haven't-- I just took off the thing off the top of it!
So far...I didn't take it off the plastic yet and see it up close.
Because they- they just magnetized fingerprints all over them!
*GASP*
Oooh it's SO SHINY!
Oh MY GOD! LOOK AT IT, IT'S SO SHINY!!!
Holy shit! My god...yeah, oh, it's so fuckin' heavy!
I weighed it in the box, in the scale in my bathroom, 'cause everyone always asks you
like how heavy is it 'cuz everyone says how heavy it is - it's SIX KILOS!
6 kilograms.
So if you've somthin' that is 6 kilograms in your house, pick that up and that's how heavy this thing is!
Just on it's own. Look at it!
Oh, there's stuff written in the back!
It says -
Uhhh....!
"Jacksepticeye, Congratulations for surpassing 10 million subscribers!"
Or something like that, right? God...
Ugh, I could be a fuckin' weight lifter lifting this thing all over the place!
GOOD LORD!
Yeah, it has fingerprints all over already.
But it does come with a fancy-schmancy microfiber cloth.
Thank you!
Society Awards?!
What does this say?
A certificate of authenticity...
I needed one of those!
I didn't know how authentic this was gonna be...
"Care for your award!"
"We ask that you treat your society award as you would a fine piece of art!"
Of course, I'm gonna treat it well!
What d'ya think I'm gonna do?
Use it as a fucking doorstop?
Throw it into my bathtub or something?
I'm not-!
Treat it nicely!
It's so shiny!
And *giggles* my face is all distorted.
It like- it's like I'm looking at it as a fly.
Like you see all the distortions in the- the different thing.
Can you see the actual like camera in it?
You can see the light kind of...
It's really, really pretty!
Thank you, YouTube, for this. This is a really cool thing!
Actually I should be thanking you guys as well
for getting the channel to such a degree that these types of things
are shipped out to YouTubers.
Like holy shit, cause it used to be a thing...
that they had the 100k plaque
whe- when you reach 100k subscribers, it's actually down there.
When you reach 100k subcribers they sent you the- the little silver play button
and then when you reach 1 million subscribers,
they send you the gold one which was fuckin big, giant case, and then...
They decided to change it up for ten million and send out these buttons on their own, so no frame or anything.
And they're really, really cool!
I really like them, they're nice and neat but again like, where do you put this?
Yeah, and I'm not gonna like put it on the shelf or something, 'cause then it looks like
I'm a pretentious asshole if I have this in the background all the time
trying to show it off. Um...
Don't- don't get me wrong, I am absolutely incredibly grateful for something like this, erm...
Like, just to see how far the channel has come from nothing to 10 million,
like getting the uh- the small silver one was a big deal to me
for 100k subscribers, and I was absolutely blown away by that.
To think that the channel got a hundred thousand subscribers- then a million happened,
and the gold one came and I was like "This is just obnoxious".
Like, how, why, when? And now it's at the
channels are 12 million and you're getting stuff like this for surpassing
10 million, like...seriously, thank you.
That is absolutely incredible, and I never ever once thought in my wildest dreams
that the channel would get that far.
I'm not really much of like, an awards kind of guy
well this is a re-ward, not an a-ward
um...I didn't win anything. But just these types of commemorations for some
sort of accomplishment or something, I'm usually not that into them because
they're like a very vain thing, especially like award shows and everything.
They- they're flattering and everything but at the same time I'm always like,
"Well like, I don't need these things". Like, I don't need rewards, I don't
need awards, I don't need anything like that keep doing YouTube the way I am.
All I need is the people who watch the content and hopefully
that they're happy with it, but at the same time I-- I am incredibly
grateful, I am so beyond grateful for these types of things that as...as sort of
like milestones in the channel to see- again, to see how far something has come.
To see it come from nothing to grow into something so huge and so way
beyond me and become just a thing for the people at this point that it-
it blows my mind all the time.
Seriously. And yet again, they tried to send this to me when I was at PAX and
then I got an e-mail was on the plane like out from Seattle, and then of course
my flight was delayed coming out of Seattle, or coming out of Boston, to go
home and they were just like, "Yeah if you're not here tomorrow they're gonna
send that back to America" and I was like, "What- what am I supposed to do?! I can't get home!"
So I-- I am thankful I got in touch with them and was able to get it
and it like- it only arrived like an hour ago!
This is as much yours as it is mine. I mean I know it's sent to me and in my
house and technically belongs to me or whatever, but like this...there's 10 million
written on the back of this like, that's not me, I'm not 10 million.
Am I 10 million people? No, I'm not, that's you.
So...and again this is as much yours as it is mine.
If I could break off 10 million chunks of it and give it to 10 million subscribers
I really, really would, because I know I appreciate the shit out of you guys *laughs*
I appreciate everyone who watches all the time and just the fact
that you're here every day watching the content all the time when you're so
committed and you're so dedicated and like, doing the panel at PAX and I came
off and people telling me like- like I don't say this to blow smoke up your ass
either, I don't do this to like give the community and ego or anything or give it
like a confidence boost because it doesn't need it, but I remember when I came off the
panel or came off a signing or something, everyone I like-- the network or the Revelmode
or Maker or something always turn to me like "You- your community is like so nice"
and they genuinely meant it as well. Again they weren't trying to like...
build me up anything either, they genuinely meant when they said that you
your community is so nice. They- they're always like the people who watch your
your content or just so nice all the time
whatever we interact with them or whenever we post stuff, your community is
always so nice and involving and engaged, and they always get in
part of like whatever is going on and they were saying that you guys asking
really good question and everything-
and this is the stuff that I've been saying for ages! I've always been saying to you
guys that you're amazing and you're awesome and I'm so flattered to like be
part of this community and to have it like, revolve around the Jacksepticeye
name and everything but you hear other people say it is like "Yes, thank you!"
"That's what I said to them ages ago!"
It's like...it's like I say something to you and you're like
"Oh no Jack it's fine, you're just saying that."
And then whenever somebody else says it like
"See! It's not just me they said it as well!" *laughs*
It came with a letter as well. A very nice letter so
I'm gonna read this word-for-word: it says 'Dear Jacksepticeye-' well it says
'Dear JACKSEPTICEYE', it's all in caps...
(reading) "At a hundred thousand we thought, 'Not bad, that's a healthy new channel'."
Really?! A 100K is considered not bad now?
100k is still a lot of people! It's funny how YouTube went from that like
getting a million subscribers was like, "Holy God, no one has ever done this before"
and now it's like giving out rewards for like dozens of channels that have
10 million subscribers and a 100K is considered "not bad."
"At 1 million we thought 'Wow, this creators got something pretty awesome going on'."
It's more than that, it's fucking phenomenal just to get a million subscribers.
"But 10 million? At this point we're actually scratching our heads."
"How the heck did you do that? 10 million subscribers isn't just a lot of people,"
"it's more than the entire population of New York City."
Holy fuck...really? I thought New York had like, 15 million in it...or 20 million.
Oh God that's scary!
"The fact is you're no longer just a great channel, you're a movement."
"You've clearly touched a nerve in the world and you found a legion of fans who expect"
"and receive great things from you."
"We hope you'll accept this diamond play button as a woefully inadequate token"
"of our appreciation and our respect for what you've accomplished. You amaze us and"
"inspire us every day, keep it coming. Sincerely, Susan Wojcicki. CEO of Youtube."
As if you didn't need to blow smoke up YouTubers asses anymore already. Um...*laughs*
I know some YouTubers look at that go "I am a movement! I am fantastic!"
Jesus! But seriously, thank you. That- that's um... I know you mean well with letters like
that but the wording sometimes a bit off and I don't want to
again I don't want to make it seem like I'm ungrateful or think that I'm like
better than this type of stuff, I- I'm really not.
If anything I don't think I deserve this at all.
It's like..."at a million we thought this guy pretty great, he's got something pretty awesome going on."
It's like no, a million is still fucking phenomenal!
100K is still really, really damn good!
Don't try to discourage people!
Just sitting here and havin- oh God!
* diamond play button being hit repetitively *
Rock-solid. Well of course it's not hollow, it weighs six kilos...um.
I'm sitting here like reading that and remembering what it was to hit a 100K, to hit
a million, to hit 10 million, all those types of things and just reflecting on what the
channel was and what it's become like... thank you, seriously. Like you don't need
to be here; you don't need to be here watching the content but you are.
L-like you're all here all the time every day no matter what time of day I go on
Twitter or Tumblr or post something on Instagram or put out a video on YouTube.
There's always somebody there to interact with that content and that is--
Shut up phone! -that is absolutely phenomenal and I'm so incredibly lucky.
Its- it's things like these that like...it can get so wrapped up in numbers, you can get
so wrapped up in what the channel is and get float away and forget everything
that you started for and all the morals that you started with and you can just
float away into the ethos and become one with YouTube if you want, but...
I don't know like, me putting up content and having all of you there all the time and
givin' me feedback and just talking to me and interacting with me constantly on a
never-ending basis just really keeps things in perspective, it really keeps me
grounded and going to conventions and seeing other people face-to-face is the
best thing ever because it reminds you that like, a 10 million subscriber plaque
like it- like you get this for 10 million, but when you sit down and you actually
think that 10 million individual people actually sat down and clicked that
subscribe button on your channel - 12 million at this point
is just way beyond comprehension.
It's so far beyond comprehension and that's why people forget about it and
they forget what it is to actually have that many subscribers because...
those are numbers that the human brain just can't fathom
You can't fanthom what it is to see 10 million people
all in one place so you kind of forget that they're all individual people and I
never want to forget that. I don't want to feel like I'm saying thank you just
because I think that's what you want to hear or that it had some just- just some
hollow words or empty promises or anything like that because I really
stand by and mean whatever I say whenever I do these types of videos and
I don't do them often enough anymore. I used to do vlogs very frequently when I
opened up about stuff, if stuff bothered me I talk about them.
Um but, I don't know just so much stuff goes on YouTube these days and I kind of
clamp down on those things and I feel like it's not fair because I-I should
still be as open as I've always been. I am a very open person, a very inviting,
warm person, and I-I opened up a lot about my life and everything but there's
sometimes when I- I like, advert myself from saying certain things because I
don't know, I'm afraid about how it's going to be taken, but I jus- I need to just...be honest.
So I don't want to feel like I think that I'm better than you or that we're not on
equal footing or that I don't respect you or anything like that like
I-I wanted to be a mutual respect thing as I've always said I want to keep this
intimate between me and you guys that it's like nothing has changed.
Nothing, even after 10 million, 12 million, even after whatever million the channel ever gets
that nothing changes between us, that it's always gonna be an honest open thing.
I don't want you guys to think that you're better than others either.
I don't want- I've seen communities grow and they think they're better than some
other communities or something like that, I don't see that either.
It - it hasn't happened, and I'm really, really happy about that, I-I don't ever want to happen
because I don't want to see the community tear itself apart as well as
tear other communities apart, or let other communities tear this one apart. I want us
to just stay happy, healthy, strong, friendly! Like, just be nice to one another!
It's not that hard a thing to do. *laughs* And I just- I love doing YouTube, I have so much
fun doing it and I hope you guys have fun watching. That's what it's always
been about, just putting smiles on people's faces making people laugh.
Making people feel like they're part of some bigger thing that you can go along
with and feel like they're involved in something and feel like they belong somewhere.
Instead of like, getting egos or thinking that you're better than
somebody else, like let's never do that!
Let's pinky promise to never do that!
Let's just stay us and have fun and smile and be happy.
Okay, deal? Yes! *laughs*
Anyway, thank you guys so much for watching this video. If you liked it,
PUNCH that Like button in the face
LIKE A BOSS!! And...
*seductively* High fives all around.
*WA-PISH WA-PISH!*
But thank you guys and I will see all you dudes...
IN THE NEXT VIDEO!!
You can do weight training with this thing. *laughs*
*while laughing* Fuckin' Hell!
