Hi! it's like 4:30 a.m. right now,
And I can't sleep. I've been trying for the last while.
And I just have so many thoughts bouncing around inside my head
that I just can't sleep.
What's up bitches!
...which is a reoccurring thing with me!
usually I--I have a hard time sleeping
just 'cause I'm thinking about stuff
probably more than I should be
but I've had some thoughts bouncing around in my head that I kinda wanna talk about
that I've wanted to talk about for a while
--I mean nothing serious, or anything, just
stuff that... I used to do these things fairly often before, a year or two ago
Where I would just--if anything was in my head I would kind of just blurt it out
in a video and just kinda chat to you guys. Which I miss, and I
I kinda dropped the ball on that stuff for a while and
some of the community aspect of the channel kinda lacks then
when you don't do that, 'cause you dont have a real connection then.
It's hard to connect when you're doing let's plays or any other type of video so,
It was another excuse to do another one of these types of videos!
Something that I-- I get asked
every now and then lately is: if my channel is "dying"?
or if...
like--
Everyone--people saying stuff like "Ohh you changed, you were so much
better before, you had so much energy before--" things like that
and I mean, people are gonna say stuff all the time anyway
stuff like that to... any sort of youtuber
um, but one that keeps happening is
like-- "is Jacksepticeye's channel DYING?"
and--no! It's not (laughs)
even if I stopped uploading, tomorrow
for like a year, there would still be some residual views
coming in all the time.
It's just so funny on youtube, it's either you're...
you're "top of the game" or you're "dying". (laughs)
But, sometimes it kinda bothers me, because
it seems like, some people on the channel, some people who watch the videos that I do
seem to care more about the numbers aspect of it more than I do.
I think the biggest factor to it is that... I just don't upload as much as I used to
'cause I used to upload two videos, every day
and that was all I could talk about, that's all I could do, because that was
my entire schedule. My whole life revolved around
getting two videos out every day, to the point where
it started to like-- REALLY affect my day-to-day life?
'Cause I didn't even have time to go out and get groceries or anything
Well, no, was it July? Yeah, July, I went to LA last year
in July and I took a week off, re-evaluated what I wanted to do
and I tried to get some of my energy back?
and, I came back and I decided, "okay I'm doing one video a day,
from now on," because two videos a day was just
It was too much time, I had no time to do any of the projects I wanted to do
I had no time to even hang out with some friends that I wanted to hang out with,
and if I missed a video I'd get really upset with myself.
So, I'm just not pumping out the same quantity of videos anymore,
uh, so obviously, like--
the view count has just--halved
on the channel on a month-by-month
