Remember, for Jenna she didn’t intend for it to be black face. She worked at a tanning salon during that time and her skin was being subjected to that, she didn’t intend for it to come off as black face, and genuinely felt ashamed that she hadn’t seen it before. So she apologized for not being as socially aware when she was younger. If you want to point fingers at people who are genuinely racist, look at Jefree Starr who continues to have a platform
Tbh it wasn't purely the black face controversy. Fans could tell that she was getting burnt out and not feeling it anymore. She now works as a greyhound foster and helps save former racing dogs
Jacksepticeye said he’s got about 2-3 years max left in him making content at the current rate and way he does. So that means we’ll either see a retirement or major slow down i’d imagine from Jack sooner rather then later which sucks but honestly he deserves the best.
@@orangelake2268I mean sure but gabby also does CZcams for a living so if anything she fully understands. It would be more for his mental health I think above all, he even says he has more than enough money now to be comfortable.
Jenna taking the content and the one with the dogs that first caused it, genuinely apologized and haven’t been on since, yet one day we have hope 😭 she was one of the nicest youtuber
She might’ve been nice but she should’ve known better. Whether said black face video happened today or 15 years ago, she should know the stigma behind making her face darker (by any shade) to impersonate a person of color. I see that she had her home broken into which I don’t condone, but the backlash for doing something as foolish as blackface, is something that she underhandedly asked for 🤷🏾♀️
@@tamikasmall9557and this is exactly why you’re part of the problem… cancel culture is driven by outcast in society who are worthless. Minorities, LGBT community and liberals.

It's very misleading. It's quite literally just Minecraft videos on his main channel that will stop. He'll still post content on the channel, just not Minecraft. And he'll still do Minecraft videos, they'll just be on his second channel.
To a man with a persona in a pink suit who was a crack addict to a man with amazing music talent I gotta say Joji has had the best change in careers for just a CZcamsr.
He is still on gt live. Like the only thing we all will miss is him being host on the 4 main channels. But he has a website of him documenting his life and of course gt live
i used to watch jenna a few years back and never saw the blackface photos or videos she did, but as a black person i respect her so much for coming forward and apologizing compared to the other youtubers who did the same thing with zero apology or acknowledgement. i hope she’s doing better off youtube.
I also feel like I need to retire on my bigger channel (none of y’all have heard of it) it only has 1k subs and it’s because I am kinda getting tired of social media and it’s content because of so many things they post all the time and without care whether or not it’s good for everybody and not just a group of people.
I cant believe i have been a young adult to adult from the begginings of youtube stars until it became an established concept, and now the start of youtube star retirement. Its crazy because that is a life cycle of 10ish years or less, none of the retired youtube stars seem to be over 50, and all this happening before my mid 30's.
It annoys me seeing comments like “bro didn’t hesitate 💀” or stuff like that because it’s clear that they’re likely kids who are too young to know how legendary the guy is. Also, the backstory behind his name is so people would be afraid to mispronounce his last name again after he was called “Higga” multiple times
It's crazy to think that some of the OG CZcamsrs, like Fred, DanTDM, PewDiePie, MatPat, Stampy and others, are literally the reason why CZcams is so popular. *CZcams is popular because of them!*
The OG CZcamsrs like Nigahiga, Jenna, and Ray William Johnson are ones I always remember. It’s sort of nice to be able to have been there in the beginning ages of CZcamsz
Meat Canyon didn't quit. He stared a new channel called Papa Meat, and said he still plans on making animated content but it's just extremely tedious and the algorithm doesn't reward inconsistent uploads.
I think he just lost the spark, it's very common for artists. He's a big creator, and have great views on his animations, so the algorithm stuff doesn't make sense
Sambucha didn't give the full story tho. He retired from being basically a full-time animator and decided to focus on more CZcams focused in person content. Go check out his other channel papa meat or whatever
@@TheUnseen0n3 the closest I’ve ever gotten to beefing with Papa Meat in the slightest is when he diminished the Final Destination franchise which I take very passionately. He is completely cool otherwise and he is a pretty good animator and great content creator
Life of Boris was the most disheartening for me as you could actually see the gradual burning out of the dude as YT continued to shadowban his channel from the algorithm
@@thundersquad_xx4613She originally back in the day when doing some comedy stuff had stuff like that on and saw nothing wrong with it as she never did anything to offend people of colour. I think this image though specifically was her wearing like clay or something for comedy that made her skin darker. She honestly did nothing wrong and she retired from CZcams after 10+ years because some were mad and she made a genuine apology if anything from her past offended people now and that she never meant to hurt anyone. She’s always been supporting of everything and one and her videos were the highlights of most peoples days and her apology video to this day remains one of the only genuine apology videos from any CZcamsr. The internets just sad and attacks people for no reason, there are far worse people they could’ve kicked off the platform such as James Charles for grooming minors and straight boys then jenna.
@@xxabsolitexxx7747 you can't speak for black people. this isn't a people of color thing its a black thing. And it was offensive Now as it was then. she apologized it was accepted but SHE chose to leave YT no one bullied her. It is called accountability. I respect her for it.
Well he is one of the big youtubers of shorts. He has 6 Millions subs and makes a lot of views. Idk if he is that underated, but definitly not overrated. He is a cool dude.
Joji being one of the most impactful CZcamsrs of his time turning into a top 500 artist is a one in a billion life story. The respect I have for the guy is immeasurable.
I’m not too sure but back in the early days of CZcams (2006-2012), two of my favorites were Xarity (who did some simple animations of mostly resident evil and silent hill games), and VoidDragonAtma (very random anime and gifs to various music) I always wonder what happened to those two.
