I do miss some of the content he’d put out or the high energy things and sometimes Sean does feel like a completely different person from back then but he’s not completely right. I don’t miss being in school I hated high school, it was absolutely hell for me. Bullied, abused, abandoned, hated, etc and his high energy, loud and boisterous Egbert are what made me smile and laugh until I cried. He brought out so much joy and helped me keep going.

@@morganb673 I thought the same thing about Joji/Filthy Frank, from what you can tell it seems like he's doing better but instead of being happy for him some fans hate on him because they miss the old videos, which I understand but if we're honest what Sean said here is probably a big reason why we miss them so much. People grow, things change and we need to accept that
@@letizialorusso1950 Thing with Filthy Frank is Joji always wanted to make music and felt it was time to end Filthy Frank. He wasn't really forced to do it like some say. If he hated it he would've stopped a long time ago. He made music as Filthy Frank, so it's not out of left field. Also, honestly, I feel it's mostly immature edge lords who want him back. As funnt as some of those vids are, I personally don't mind the channel being over. The vids are still there after all.
Wow, I like his older content for sure but the new content just feels like he and his channel grew up just like me. Was in school when I started watching and now I'm in the last year of my college. He changed and so did I. His content matured and so did his audience with him.
@@rvvinayak2243 Get what you mean but I don’t get how you get that feeling from Sean’s channel. The editing and the humour…? And he had so much stronger morals before too. No it just feels like a completely different person’s channel.
@@jaybeanzx yeah I see myself as a completely different person compared to 10-13 years ago. I like Sean and Felix's new type of content, not much editing and just their chill vibe. I guess I'm an exception?
@@rvvinayak2243 What? Since Sean hired an editor his videos are quite edited. In the past they were almost not edited at all. Did I misunderstand you or wdym?
Not really ._. After a good long look in hindsight, I can definitely say that I do miss the old Anthony and it has nothing to do with my feelings. With Sean? I mean maybe, but I guess it also had to do with the fact that he was playing more games that I like back then. But no this video isn’t correct
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 I think it hits home for many people. Of course it isn't going to be the case for everyone (like you) but the main reason I believe he's right is because of the age of his fans complaining. A lot of fans started watching him nearly a decade ago when they were 11 or 12. Now they're in adult life and is finding out that watching certain youtubers aren't as exciting as it was when they were younger. It's kind of like being excited for Christmas when you were a child but now you don't feel the "magic" anymore. I somewhat feel the same. I loved jacks older videos when they came out but looking back, they weren't as well made as they are now and I'm just looking back fondly.
@@ManiacalBlueberry hmm benign well made still wasn’t in my thought process. However I do think that this time we are in has a greater missing for the past more than the entire 20th century combined. Just noticed that
Same thing here. I was 14 years old when I discovered Jacksepticeye, in 2013. Life was so easy during that time, no major responsibilities and I still lived with my parents. Now I'm a 23 year old engineering student, living alone in a different city and dealing with a lot of stress. But I'm going to be completely honest, I prefer the "new" and more calm Jacksepticeye. I feel like Séan screamed a lot more in his older videos, which I didn't really like. So with that being said, I was never a big fan of him at first. It's actually much later when I started to appreciate Séan's content.
I remember when I first started watching Jack I would get a notification that he posted a video when I was in school and I was so excited to go home and watch it, I'd get home from school and watch what jack posted, then mark, the the game grumps while doing my homework. Miss those times❤️
No kidding, those old Smosh days were my end-of-group-home, stint-in-Detention"Home"-jail, GED-aquiring and eventually college-attending days when that Zelda song was dropped. Ended up severely depressed, suicidal, so did hard drugs and dropped out of college after two years. I still owe the college money for failing English.
I can say i miss the old jacksepticeye, but i'm incredibly happy everytime he posts a new video, for the fact his still giving out videos, he's still breathing. I'm happy to see all of jack/sean :3
@@adonaiyah2196 yeah. I feel like people needed to hear that for those who still cling to the old times. Thankful that i got out of that bubble right before college too.
And he should've. Here's why. I was raised without a dad. I was raised by my mom, grandma, grandpa, and aunt in a house where everyone was constantly screaming, sometimes people threw things at me, and I was hospitalized for aggression and self-harm at the age of 12. I suffered from acute PTSD from that hospitalization, and, little did I know it at the time, but I was suffering from CPTSD from all of the screaming and fighting I'd witnessed. I escaped through video games, roleplaying, and talking to the very few people who I ever could've called "friend". It was fine at the time. It was fine because it always is when that's what you're used to. I was happy then, when I was younger, because I was innocent. I was happy. I grew up, and I started to feel the consequences of actions not just my own, but of my family and my state as well. I realized that everyone around me was happy, my family was happy... and if they weren't happy, they were at least not suffering as much as I was. I felt rage. I was so upset that they'd traumatized me permanently and just left me to suffer. Break out of that cycle. Don't let the past define you, and, regardless of severity (having full-blown flashbacks and dissociative episodes or just feeling sad for a few weeks), DO NOT sweep it all under the rug and dismiss your feelings as unimportant. Learn to break out of cycles now... no, it won't prepare you in the case that you witness something that traumatizes you forever, but it might make you happier of a person.
I started watching Sean back in 2016 when i was about 10,and tbh i do miss the old Sean because of how energetic and chaotic he was. But as i grow,i appriciate the maturity that Sean adopted as he got older
Eh see I go back and forth on that one. I think they lost a lot of the people that made the content enjoyable. In general I agree with his point but this is one case I don't think I do. That said I don't complain they get to do their thing and it's just fine.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet It's not 100% for sure. Losing Ross, Barry and most of the cast really hurt the channel. Plus, you can feel that energy they had for the first few years. Where it was a new exciting thing.
As someone who has only watched game grumps for the last year I haven’t entirely understood the “they have gotten worse thing”. I fully believe people have just changed while the game grumps have stayed exactly the same for a long time, I go between 2014 and 2022 episodes and they feel like the exact same thing besides for the length of the videos and the quality of the mics.
I love to go back and watch theor old and dumb one-off series like Kendo Rage for this reason. I'm in a much better place now, mentally and such, but the feeling of not having all the added responsibilities makes rewatching a wonderful time. My favorite series is Ross and Dan playing Kings Quest 6
The problem with his argument: We can go back and watch the old stuff and still enjoy it. If we don't like the new stuff its not cuz we are in a new/difficult spot, it's cuz we preferred the old content, more often than not the old content is when they tried more. We can still be in a difficult spot and still enjoy the old stuff. bad mindset doesnt equal bad viewing experience. some of us can seperate the two
nah cause watching his old stuff also gives a taste of the feeling you had when you were a child just like when you see childhood toys or your old cartoons, it was probably crap but it reminds you and brings you back to simpler times. So youre still missing how you felt!!
@@waynesimmons2 You're talking about nostalgia and I don't agree with you. i understand how you came to that conclusion though. What if there is old content we never got around to watching? We go back to it later once we have time. That can't be nostalgia because we hadn't watched the series before, but we know the person playing it. The person playing it back then vs. now is what feels different. The same person can upload the same content in different time periods and get different results
you guys have to understand it’s been years. he’s been on youtube for over a decade now, he’s gonna change alongside his content because he’s a human being. it doesn’t mean he doesn’t give a shit anymore, it just means that he’s also changing alongside us like humans do. some people don’t like that, and that’s fine, but i personally don’t mind his modern day content.
@@saranlinx9301 I never said there was anything wrong with his current content. It's just not for me. My whole point was that people do change, but content doesn't (unless he goes back and edits or deletes the videos.). the way he phrased his statement in this video makes it seem like it does. I was only pointing out we can still enjoy things from the past without enjoying how we felt about it in the past. :)
The older content WAS different, that's pretty obvious when you watch it, but I guarentee nostalgia is a big factor in why most people say they prefer it.
@@rockyblumbleHonestly? They say mindset is not everything. But as someone who was really self-destructive, hated everyone and everything, couldn't enjoy anything at all... It's this change in mindset that sometimes it's just about how I think about things. I realized that I don't need to have any opinion about anything. I'm free to do whatever I want. And if that's the case, then I'd choose the perspectives that can make me love life as much as possible, while also staying realistic of course. Sometimes I'd still feel bad, but that's life. I don't have to self-sabotage just because of that. Maybe it's just because I haven't been taking care of myself enough (not sleeping well, not eating well, not working out, etc.) or because I procrastinate or something. If so, then I'm going to do my best to take care of that then just move on. Because life is all about learning to move forward and learning to acknowledge your role in life. Imo anyway. So I'd put my energy on the things I know I have control over and accept that I really need to do my honest best in there so I can live the best possible good life I can get for myself. That's really just it. I just need to hold to my standards in every moment (even after experiencing failures, I don't need to give up this moment) and remember that my actual needs are small, and that a little discomfort over disciplining myself won't unalive me. This is just what we do now.
I got passionate about this topic here 😅 I put this here because I hope it can help someone even for a bit. I feel like social media these days loves to give messages that convey hopelessness. There are definitely some things that are out of our control, but putting all the focus on that makes us forget all the other things that are in our control. And it makes me so sad to see this on other people. So yeah... This is me hoping that I can help other people realize they have so much power over their life, even when life constantly throws curveballs at them. There are definitely painful things out there, but no one can take away from you what you do in this moment so you can contrast that bad thing you're experiencing with good things. Good luck!
You know, the more Sean changes the more I like him. I'm currently rewatching him play The Walking Dead and I'm on season 2. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see Sean playing season 3, not to mention 4. It's just so cool to see the people who I look up to also change with time, along with myself. It shows that my idols are real humans, and real humans change
and to kinda add to this, it's a lot harder going back and watching those videos from early Jack days, not because you didn't enjoy those videos at one point, you did, you've just grown out of what you used to like, and that's a good thing. It's like going back and reading your old Facebook posts or something. Current you cringes, past you was like "bro I'm so rad posting my chemical romance lyrics at 3am 8)"
@@DudeMcGuybro Seems like we're all trying to agree with the 'changing' and 'growing' message. Anyway, I disagree. I believe there are people out there like myself who know what we mean when we say they are not the same. Sometimes they were at their best In certain things like "humor, perspective, focus, authenticity". People jumping pretty quick with the nostalgia fallacy. People do change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst. Then there's acceptance for either of them.. Then the older you get, the less likely you are to change what you have accepted, better or worse.
Growing up and watching Jack also grow up has been such a privilege. There have been many laughs, deep thoughts and sometimes sad moments. It's okay to miss the old days but don't forget what's right in front of you right now.
i watch a lot of sean’s old content, right now im rewatching all the god of wars. i will say they gave me a lot of comfort in my situations at the time so i do miss that feeling. rewatching them though gives me that same feeling so sometimes i feel like that little 13-12 year old kid
That's exactly it though. I cannot enjoy the things i loved back in the day the same way anymore. Those magical moments i had watching my favourite movies for the first time in the middle of the night, not having to worry about anythinf in life.
You cant experience things the way you did in the past, but you are at least able to experience things the way only the you of the present can. Welcome to life, one day you will say goodbye, so have fun while it lasts.
It has nothing to dl with that, it’s because back then they were all NEW. You can’t go back and watch something for the first time again when you know every joke that’s coming. He’s pissing off every commentor that says he’s washed because he knows it’s true. We’re old, but so is he!
i remember in grade 4 when i first discovered jacksepticeye and coming back to watch his happy wheels videos and subnautica videos and infamous second son videos. now im in grade 12 about to apply for university. Thank you jack for a wonderful childhood.
I'll always love jacks channel and videos no matter how old i ever get no matter if his channel or me but mostly me grow up or change I'll never get sick of jacksepticeye🥺💚
Me at 22 who comes home from uni and watches videos all day with little responsibilities and never watched the old Anthony or Sean: "I like current Anthony and Sean" 😂
@@victorkaranja1420 I do digital media in on my 2nd year, so Ive studied journalism, filmography, photography, marketing, app design. And this year I'll go on to do 3d design, design for mobile, social media and tv/studio work
I can assure you, as someone who has been watching jack since I was i middle school 7 years ago, I AM STILL WATCHING VIDEOS and he has changed into a person i dont enjoy nearly as much
I say this too about those saying "first love never die", what you miss is the feeling of not knowing what hurt or losing love felt like, it's like seeing fire for the first time, feeling it's warmth without knowing it can burn you
The problem for me is that, for my first love (that I can remember**), I only realised it when I felt the hurt and the loss. I knew a lot of children 'dated' and stuff, and I watched a lot of PG movies/dramas a lot as a kid, but I just never rly associated myself with the feeling of love?? (Honestly, a part of me still doesn't rly know whether it was actually love) So for me, it's more like the opposite: my first love never died because I knew how much it started to hurt;; that mixed with a lot of regret about what I could've done with my friends but didn't.....I feel like it rly messed me up - esp. since, I was given a false sense of hope, I was told I had a choice in the decision when it didn't even matter, I had to move. As much as I do love some of the experiences and ppl after moving, I would give all that away just to have a chance to stay, maybe just a little longer (like I asked, maybe until the end of the yr) ** Apparently I said I wanted to marry someone when I was even younger, and I am the only one who doesn't remember that or the feelings attached to it; And tbh, I think it's more like looking up to an older person (parent/sibling) and saying that (y'know what I mean right?);; More meaning was probably put into it because we weren't related -- kinda don't know why I looked up to him, but that's probably because he kinda bullied me (it was light teasing/bullying, that I exaggerated in my head, but I swear I heard him admitting to bullying me last yr)
No, I realised this a while ago. I love the "new sean" we have had similar growths throughout the years and it helps me to know he's on a similar journey and I'm not alone. Although hearing sean say my thoughts but from his own brain does blow my mind.
i dont dislike the change, i think growing with the youtubers i grew up with is more connecting to me. i watched mark and sean when i was probably 8 or so and im 17 now and i still watch both of them. i still go back and watch some of the old vidoes that comforted me when i was younger but growing with the channels i loved as a kid feels comforting to me
The sad thing is, it is mostly true. Part of it is because we’re not gonna have that same feeling again when we first watched them, the other part is that CZcams has changed because of new management. But the thing is as well, while the world changes, we change with it. CZcams is definitely different from what it was before, but we all grow older and have different interests over time. Something that you loved a year ago, you would rewatch it and think “why did I get so much enjoyment out of this?” Nothing lasts forever. Sometimes you lose interest in someone’s channel because you’ve changed, other times it’s the content creator that changed. Regardless of what it is, everything changes. Nothing stays forever, so cherish those moments of when you did enjoy them because chances are it’s not gonna stay that way
So he did change. It's not always about nostalgia as he was putting It. Sometimes people do lose a fun or deep part of themselves overtime. For me, It's the quality of the person, not the time or feeling.
It’s not us, I still watch those old videos with the same sense of enjoyment. You just got old and slowed a bit, thats the reason we sometimes miss the old young and energetic Jack.
For me its very much the opposite. My life in between 12-21 were absolutely awful. I had undiagnosed autism and ADD, suffered from an awful depression that never gave me a break, had anxiety so often I forgot what it was like not to be scared and nervous about everything except my own bedroom...and now I just can’t look at the content I used to enjoy back then. Yes, I have also grown and changed, but I have left entire hobbies behind just because they make me feel bad today. I am so happy to have put that part of my life mostly behind me. I just wish I could have enjoyed any of my teen years at all.
See I was kinda the same but likr I saw Mark and Jack and some other youtubers as friends who loved playing these games and I loved watching it cause It felt like I had friends. Now I watch it and im bored not cause of the content but cause I feel like its almost the same tbing and as I grow older the more I want different things

Yeah, and genuine. It was almost not edited at all.
Wow, I like his older content for sure but the new content just feels like he and his channel grew up just like me. Was in school when I started watching and now I'm in the last year of my college. He changed and so did I. His content matured and so did his audience with him.
@@rvvinayak2243 Get what you mean but I don’t get how you get that feeling from Sean’s channel. The editing and the humour…? And he had so much stronger morals before too. No it just feels like a completely different person’s channel.

Not really ._. After a good long look in hindsight, I can definitely say that I do miss the old Anthony and it has nothing to do with my feelings. With Sean? I mean maybe, but I guess it also had to do with the fact that he was playing more games that I like back then. But no this video isn’t correct
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 I think it hits home for many people. Of course it isn't going to be the case for everyone (like you) but the main reason I believe he's right is because of the age of his fans complaining. A lot of fans started watching him nearly a decade ago when they were 11 or 12. Now they're in adult life and is finding out that watching certain youtubers aren't as exciting as it was when they were younger. It's kind of like being excited for Christmas when you were a child but now you don't feel the "magic" anymore. I somewhat feel the same. I loved jacks older videos when they came out but looking back, they weren't as well made as they are now and I'm just looking back fondly.
@@ManiacalBlueberry hmm benign well made still wasn’t in my thought process. However I do think that this time we are in has a greater missing for the past more than the entire 20th century combined. Just noticed that
“oh.. you want me to really blow your minds?”
“yes please🤗”
*30 seconds later*
Not really, it may be a change in your life but jacksepticeye has matured totally, you can tell the complete difference in his old content
Man hearing Jack say welcome back to another episode of HAAAAAPPPPYYY WHHEEEEEEEELLS!!!! was just a different time🥲
Damn, that really hit me. I’m currently in college and have a job and super stressed out 100% everything he said was facts. Love you Seán. Always have
Me too! It’s crazy how we outgrow things in real time and don’t even realize it.
Same thing here. I was 14 years old when I discovered Jacksepticeye, in 2013. Life was so easy during that time, no major responsibilities and I still lived with my parents. Now I'm a 23 year old engineering student, living alone in a different city and dealing with a lot of stress.
But I'm going to be completely honest, I prefer the "new" and more calm Jacksepticeye. I feel like Séan screamed a lot more in his older videos, which I didn't really like. So with that being said, I was never a big fan of him at first. It's actually much later when I started to appreciate Séan's content.
This is the sort of thing that can make a grown man cry
And that’s okay. *sniff*

"You miss how you felt back when you were watching those videos"

“infringes my rights”
"broke my heart physically and emotionally"
"Told the truth too hard."
"emotionally assaulted me"

Nice talking to a CZcams video
Damn Sean really just went ahead and destroyed the confidence of an entire generation
As he should. We're too needy for a time gone by. He doesn't have the power to go back to 2016
@@adonaiyah2196 yeah. I feel like people needed to hear that for those who still cling to the old times. Thankful that i got out of that bubble right before college too.
And he should've. Here's why.
I was raised without a dad. I was raised by my mom, grandma, grandpa, and aunt in a house where everyone was constantly screaming, sometimes people threw things at me, and I was hospitalized for aggression and self-harm at the age of 12. I suffered from acute PTSD from that hospitalization, and, little did I know it at the time, but I was suffering from CPTSD from all of the screaming and fighting I'd witnessed. I escaped through video games, roleplaying, and talking to the very few people who I ever could've called "friend".
It was fine at the time. It was fine because it always is when that's what you're used to. I was happy then, when I was younger, because I was innocent. I was happy.
I grew up, and I started to feel the consequences of actions not just my own, but of my family and my state as well. I realized that everyone around me was happy, my family was happy... and if they weren't happy, they were at least not suffering as much as I was. I felt rage. I was so upset that they'd traumatized me permanently and just left me to suffer.
Break out of that cycle. Don't let the past define you, and, regardless of severity (having full-blown flashbacks and dissociative episodes or just feeling sad for a few weeks), DO NOT sweep it all under the rug and dismiss your feelings as unimportant. Learn to break out of cycles now... no, it won't prepare you in the case that you witness something that traumatizes you forever, but it might make you happier of a person.

@@adonaiyah2196 no, 2012-2015 was peak jacksepticeye. Then his editing became dogshit once he hired an editor
Damn Sean, that cut deep 😢
No I liked his energy more then, even watching old videos is refreshing
Watching old videos is refreshing because you associate positive memories with that time.
Or... maybe he just enjoys Sean's older content due to his vastly different personality, which I completely agree with
What jack said is so true what we all really miss is being young and carefree 😭
Me, who’s been an adult the entire time Sean has been doing videos: 🗿

I thought this was gonna be “this is literally the oldest I’ve ever been” but Jesus Christ Sean I fucking cried 😭
This is exactly how I feel about pre-2017 GameGrumps. Seems like an untouchable era to me but really, I was just in a better place.
Eh see I go back and forth on that one. I think they lost a lot of the people that made the content enjoyable. In general I agree with his point but this is one case I don't think I do. That said I don't complain they get to do their thing and it's just fine.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet It's not 100% for sure. Losing Ross, Barry and most of the cast really hurt the channel. Plus, you can feel that energy they had for the first few years. Where it was a new exciting thing.
Pre-2017 i was in the worst place possible. Everyone talks about 2013-17 like it was a magical time but it was shit for me
As someone who has only watched game grumps for the last year I haven’t entirely understood the “they have gotten worse thing”. I fully believe people have just changed while the game grumps have stayed exactly the same for a long time, I go between 2014 and 2022 episodes and they feel like the exact same thing besides for the length of the videos and the quality of the mics.
I love to go back and watch theor old and dumb one-off series like Kendo Rage for this reason. I'm in a much better place now, mentally and such, but the feeling of not having all the added responsibilities makes rewatching a wonderful time. My favorite series is Ross and Dan playing Kings Quest 6
The problem with his argument: We can go back and watch the old stuff and still enjoy it. If we don't like the new stuff its not cuz we are in a new/difficult spot, it's cuz we preferred the old content, more often than not the old content is when they tried more. We can still be in a difficult spot and still enjoy the old stuff. bad mindset doesnt equal bad viewing experience. some of us can seperate the two
Exactly I was just watching his Walking Dead and Sims videos agin and enjoyed them todays Jack is just well different
nah cause watching his old stuff also gives a taste of the feeling you had when you were a child just like when you see childhood toys or your old cartoons, it was probably crap but it reminds you and brings you back to simpler times. So youre still missing how you felt!!
@@waynesimmons2 You're talking about nostalgia and I don't agree with you. i understand how you came to that conclusion though. What if there is old content we never got around to watching? We go back to it later once we have time. That can't be nostalgia because we hadn't watched the series before, but we know the person playing it. The person playing it back then vs. now is what feels different. The same person can upload the same content in different time periods and get different results
you guys have to understand it’s been years. he’s been on youtube for over a decade now, he’s gonna change alongside his content because he’s a human being. it doesn’t mean he doesn’t give a shit anymore, it just means that he’s also changing alongside us like humans do. some people don’t like that, and that’s fine, but i personally don’t mind his modern day content.
@@saranlinx9301 I never said there was anything wrong with his current content. It's just not for me. My whole point was that people do change, but content doesn't (unless he goes back and edits or deletes the videos.). the way he phrased his statement in this video makes it seem like it does. I was only pointing out we can still enjoy things from the past without enjoying how we felt about it in the past. :)

The older content WAS different, that's pretty obvious when you watch it, but I guarentee nostalgia is a big factor in why most people say they prefer it.
Just hearing this makes me more depressed again, gosh, being grown up sucks. I thought everyone knew that
But it must have some bright side too, try to find that and overcome difficulties, pursue your goals and enjoy the life💪🏻
It doesn't suck... Please get rid of that mindset. You're free to choose whatever you want now so create a good life for yourself
@@rockyblumbleHonestly? They say mindset is not everything. But as someone who was really self-destructive, hated everyone and everything, couldn't enjoy anything at all... It's this change in mindset that sometimes it's just about how I think about things. I realized that I don't need to have any opinion about anything. I'm free to do whatever I want. And if that's the case, then I'd choose the perspectives that can make me love life as much as possible, while also staying realistic of course.
Sometimes I'd still feel bad, but that's life. I don't have to self-sabotage just because of that. Maybe it's just because I haven't been taking care of myself enough (not sleeping well, not eating well, not working out, etc.) or because I procrastinate or something. If so, then I'm going to do my best to take care of that then just move on. Because life is all about learning to move forward and learning to acknowledge your role in life. Imo anyway. So I'd put my energy on the things I know I have control over and accept that I really need to do my honest best in there so I can live the best possible good life I can get for myself. That's really just it. I just need to hold to my standards in every moment (even after experiencing failures, I don't need to give up this moment) and remember that my actual needs are small, and that a little discomfort over disciplining myself won't unalive me.
This is just what we do now.
I got passionate about this topic here 😅 I put this here because I hope it can help someone even for a bit. I feel like social media these days loves to give messages that convey hopelessness. There are definitely some things that are out of our control, but putting all the focus on that makes us forget all the other things that are in our control. And it makes me so sad to see this on other people. So yeah... This is me hoping that I can help other people realize they have so much power over their life, even when life constantly throws curveballs at them. There are definitely painful things out there, but no one can take away from you what you do in this moment so you can contrast that bad thing you're experiencing with good things.
Good luck!
@@BeanSprouts02 you're absolutely right
You know, the more Sean changes the more I like him. I'm currently rewatching him play The Walking Dead and I'm on season 2. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see Sean playing season 3, not to mention 4. It's just so cool to see the people who I look up to also change with time, along with myself. It shows that my idols are real humans, and real humans change
and to kinda add to this, it's a lot harder going back and watching those videos from early Jack days, not because you didn't enjoy those videos at one point, you did, you've just grown out of what you used to like, and that's a good thing. It's like going back and reading your old Facebook posts or something. Current you cringes, past you was like "bro I'm so rad posting my chemical romance lyrics at 3am 8)"

Anyway, I disagree. I believe there are people out there like myself who know what we mean when we say they are not the same.
Sometimes they were at their best In certain things like "humor, perspective, focus, authenticity".
People jumping pretty quick with the nostalgia fallacy.
People do change, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst. Then there's acceptance for either of them.. Then the older you get, the less likely you are to change what you have accepted, better or worse.
Yeah they get worse with age, idk why you all agree with this take, he’s not funny anymore

Growing up and watching Jack also grow up has been such a privilege. There have been many laughs, deep thoughts and sometimes sad moments. It's okay to miss the old days but don't forget what's right in front of you right now.
Don’t call me out like that 😂
i watch a lot of sean’s old content, right now im rewatching all the god of wars. i will say they gave me a lot of comfort in my situations at the time so i do miss that feeling. rewatching them though gives me that same feeling so sometimes i feel like that little 13-12 year old kid
That's exactly it though. I cannot enjoy the things i loved back in the day the same way anymore. Those magical moments i had watching my favourite movies for the first time in the middle of the night, not having to worry about anythinf in life.
You cant experience things the way you did in the past, but you are at least able to experience things the way only the you of the present can.
Welcome to life, one day you will say goodbye, so have fun while it lasts.
It has nothing to dl with that, it’s because back then they were all NEW. You can’t go back and watch something for the first time again when you know every joke that’s coming. He’s pissing off every commentor that says he’s washed because he knows it’s true.

I say this too about those saying "first love never die", what you miss is the feeling of not knowing what hurt or losing love felt like, it's like seeing fire for the first time, feeling it's warmth without knowing it can burn you
Beautifully said ❤
Some of yall are way too in your feelings. Go get some anti depressants. Meet a girl who actually wants to be around you. You'll be fine.
It really doesn't though.. :/
The problem for me is that, for my first love (that I can remember**), I only realised it when I felt the hurt and the loss.
I knew a lot of children 'dated' and stuff, and I watched a lot of PG movies/dramas a lot as a kid, but I just never rly associated myself with the feeling of love??
(Honestly, a part of me still doesn't rly know whether it was actually love)
So for me, it's more like the opposite: my first love never died because I knew how much it started to hurt;; that mixed with a lot of regret about what I could've done with my friends but didn't.....I feel like it rly messed me up - esp. since, I was given a false sense of hope, I was told I had a choice in the decision when it didn't even matter, I had to move.
As much as I do love some of the experiences and ppl after moving, I would give all that away just to have a chance to stay, maybe just a little longer (like I asked, maybe until the end of the yr)
**
Apparently I said I wanted to marry someone when I was even younger, and I am the only one who doesn't remember that or the feelings attached to it;
And tbh, I think it's more like looking up to an older person (parent/sibling) and saying that (y'know what I mean right?);;
More meaning was probably put into it because we weren't related
-- kinda don't know why I looked up to him, but that's probably because he kinda bullied me (it was light teasing/bullying, that I exaggerated in my head, but I swear I heard him admitting to bullying me last yr)

Although hearing sean say my thoughts but from his own brain does blow my mind.
bro this hit me really hard tbh, him, markiplier, stamps, dantdm, and evantube bro
this hit me like a truck
i dont dislike the change, i think growing with the youtubers i grew up with is more connecting to me. i watched mark and sean when i was probably 8 or so and im 17 now and i still watch both of them. i still go back and watch some of the old vidoes that comforted me when i was younger but growing with the channels i loved as a kid feels comforting to me
The sad thing is, it is mostly true. Part of it is because we’re not gonna have that same feeling again when we first watched them, the other part is that CZcams has changed because of new management. But the thing is as well, while the world changes, we change with it. CZcams is definitely different from what it was before, but we all grow older and have different interests over time. Something that you loved a year ago, you would rewatch it and think “why did I get so much enjoyment out of this?” Nothing lasts forever. Sometimes you lose interest in someone’s channel because you’ve changed, other times it’s the content creator that changed. Regardless of what it is, everything changes. Nothing stays forever, so cherish those moments of when you did enjoy them because chances are it’s not gonna stay that way
The truth hurts but damn if this doesn’t hurt just a little bit more
We all grew up and felt how cruel this world is and our innocence died .
He just said one of my fav quotes 'Things don't change we do"
So he did change. It's not always about nostalgia as he was putting It. Sometimes people do lose a fun or deep part of themselves overtime. For me, It's the quality of the person, not the time or feeling.
It’s not us, I still watch those old videos with the same sense of enjoyment. You just got old and slowed a bit, thats the reason we sometimes miss the old young and energetic Jack.
The same sense you had as a kid, right? Isn't that his point? It gives you that same feeling?
Yes, because of the nostalgia
@@corvacopiaNo I literally watch new series and just enjoy it. To me, his old content feels like a totally different person.

Well that hurts why is it so true
First saw jack back in 2nd grade and now im in high school man i miss those times
Nah I rewatched the old videos and that mixed with the more consistent uploads made for a higher quality Channel
This is what I get for bringing youtube shorts pass 3 AM on a college night.
For me its very much the opposite. My life in between 12-21 were absolutely awful. I had undiagnosed autism and ADD, suffered from an awful depression that never gave me a break, had anxiety so often I forgot what it was like not to be scared and nervous about everything except my own bedroom...and now I just can’t look at the content I used to enjoy back then.
Yes, I have also grown and changed, but I have left entire hobbies behind just because they make me feel bad today.
I am so happy to have put that part of my life mostly behind me. I just wish I could have enjoyed any of my teen years at all.
