All the og's were friends in a wow guild. Makes the original question in the video silly. They were wow raiding as yogs since before it was a business.
Now that I think about it, I never would’ve heard of Sips if it weren’t for the main tekkiy series. At the time I didn’t know he had a channel, I think it took me a couple weeks to realize and I binged his entire series. Good times.
I know this comment is a year old but I literally subbed to Sips' channel after watching the tekkit video where simon made the santa but put the belt too low. Sips' laugh at simon's poorly made santa was so infectious I was a fan from that moment on.
@@Caromaros A few years ago, he awkwardly flirted with some fans online (who are NOT underage), with their obvious consent. Because of Caff and Turps being dropped and the controversy surrounding that whole debacle, Lewis had to start tightening the rules and taking a no nonsense policy. Some people brought up Sjin's awkward flirting and provided some pictures, claimed that the flirting made them uncomfortable, and as a result, they had to take action. This action, was pretty much forcing/pressuring Sjin to leave. Sjin 'technically' left of his own accord, but it is very much obvious that Sjin was forced. It's all just a mess really, Sjin simply apologizing for making anyone uncomfortable would have been completely fine. Due to poor handling with the situation, he's now just being compared to Caff and Turps, who did far worse than his awkward flirting. It isn't any better when people like you (I mean no offence when I say this, just pointing this out) who are misinformed because of others also being misinformed and spreading misinformation, which paints an innocent person in a negative light and contributing to generally making a persons life miserable. Seriously, it's just a mess. TL:DR: He awkwardly flirted online with a few fans who also returned the flirting with Sjin a few years back, he did not assault anyone nor did he harass anyone either.
I think people still get exposure from the Yogs but not as much and from wide range of channels and content they have now. I would have never have heard about Leo if it weren't for Lewis and ThatMadCat and I wouldn't know Bouphe without Hat Films.
@@BusyBadger1 Well they were all Minecraft channels. When Minecraft slowly lost popularity their growth stagnated and eventually declined. Even the smaller channels that weren't Minecraft channels suffered because they didn't get the exposure from the main channel. Luckily they've been able to adapt and now their livestreams are very successful. They've even done the first Yogcon this year.
I love the honesty. He's not trying to say it's big now or it'd be a big boost now. He admits it's only because he joined and started up when they boomed that he got so big. No sugar coating or anything but no dismissal of how much it's helped either. Just the facts and what they mean to him and others around him.
I'd say there was a Golden Age and a Renaissance for joining Yogs. Like in the beginning Hannah, Sips, Sjin, Duncan, etc probably got huge boosts especially since the Yogs were fairly popular. Then minecraft became less popular but still the way to go for most channels who built their community on it. So new channels joined and unless you were like Kim or Hat Films who did collabs with the bigger channels often you missed out on a lot of the benefits (P. Flax, Bebopvox, Caff, etc) and they were also accepting a lot of new members at the time but not doing a great deal to expose them beyond a couple shoutouts. A lot of channels like Strippin and Bebop also quickly became inactive or distant from the yogs content. Now we have a revival and I feel that I'm finding plenty of new creators from the Yogs again or old members who didnt get much spotlight. Mostly in part to main channel TTT being a good way for people to get a feel for someone's personality without having to search for one of their videos. Now we have Bouphe, Lydia, Mousie, Spiff, Ben, Tom, Zylus, friggin Daltos etc that I cant imagine not being part of the Yogs.
They still do alot of stuff behind the scenes for creators. They are still a well functioning company, but yes their views have slowed. It seems they kinda started going downhill when they stop Israphael.
Crazy to think that Ben, Tom, Zylus and Daltos only started getting relatively recent attention when they've all been around behind the scenes for many years. Daltos was in one of the very early YoGPoDs for example, and Ben and Tom used to help out with all sorts of stuff for videos, including the Minecraft valentine's video where Tom dropped in to spawn the pig! Zylus has been around for ages too, but I can't quite remember where I first saw him, probably an early Yogs Christmas livestream
@@SunriseAlchemist Tom's channel has been promoted on the main channel but I guess people just didn't see that. It's a shame, because his channel is bascially my emotional support dog.
i just remember sips and sjinn setting off that one bomb which destroyed their mine craft world and thinking it was the funniest thing in the universe. easily the most memorable yogs moment for me i dont even really watch them anymore besides a few clips.
I mean another benefit, even for the recent joining members not having that crazy fast subscriber build up, it's also just a really cool community and family to be part of. Being in yogtowers during thr jingle jam looks so incredibly fun
Sips and Sjin's tekkit series will always be my favourite thing they've done. Nothing compares and the sense of nostalgia I get from watching it is overwhelming
They may not gain subs like they use to or be as big as they were in the early days but they did gains a bunch of loyal fans that have supported them ever since and kept them going.
Dang, I remember really wanting more Sips for ages since he guest starred in a few Yogpods, especially the D&D one where he just fucked around constantly. So happy Sips joined yogs full time, I was one of the people who subbed to him as soon as he joined.
With the changes to the CZcams homepage way back then I don't think anyone would get the same exposure now. Yogscast videos used to dominate the home page because of how they titled their videos.
I imagine the benefit is a lot bigger if you're actually in Bristol using the Yogs' office and recording equipment, not sitting in your garage on a little island
i am half asleep.....i literally just woke up, i SHIT MY SELF AND DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR COMMENT because i read it wrong and got devastated for all a few seconds until you gave context in the response to the other person.,.......(so thank you for waking me up to the full extent)
I miss the old days. It really feels like the yogscast is on a downhill slope and will one day just be a memory. I really hope that doesn't happen but it's all decreasing by the month
Yogscast has been around for so long that it already is a memory for most people. I watched a CZcamsr years back and someone asked him the question if he watched Yogscast, his response was "They're still alive?!". These dudes are old school. Well, the original ones anyways.
Back when I was doing youtube seriously I had a buddy in a Minecraft server which was around 1k subs(I had 600ish) and DocM77 recognized one of his videos(witch killing machine for potions) and he shot up to like 60k in a week. The most insane thing I've ever seen.
While they get a lot of exposure, it´s nowhere near the levels back in the day. Yogscast used to get a million or more views on all their videos. Now they're lucky to hit 300k
I guess if you are their investment and they made it possible for you to be who you are now and live a good life doing a job you love then it's just a nice thing to keep giving them a cut and be a part of their network etc
To be fair as well, when he first put out dig'n'rig, those videos were hilarious. His way of characterizing things and people in the games he played was hilarious. Since he started streaming instead, he's mellowed out a lot and lost a lot of that original humor. He's still funny, but he is not the same as he was.
Yeah I haven't watched him since he stopped CZcams. His vids are really funny but the streaming format doesn't work as well. Plus I don't have multiple hours a day just to watch him
dont know about streaming days but for youtube you also had access to editors and artists and stuff. Doing all that yourself is a massive time and motovation drain. Probabaly also Lawyers and admin and so on. And the contact with others.
I guess YT doesnt really matter anymore, for the last 3-4 years. as for lawyers and admin, for one channel , the overhead cant be as huge as it is for the Yogs.
the day all of your youtube accounts popped up I subscribed to every single one of you, Sips you are the only one I still watch lots of love IM A OG Yognaut
I'd always thought Sips and Sjin came much later. I didn't even like Sips at first cos I didn't get his sense of humour. A few videos before the Jaffa Factory. Then the Jaffa Factory came and just from being exposed to Sips I started to understand him better and then he became one of my favourites. I really used to love when they'd pair Sips and Sjin together for things like Gary's Mod builds and they would just troll the entire time. I'd actually just be in stitches watching them frustrate Lewis and the crew by not taking it seriously. Remember that one video where they had to build cars and Tom had to step in as like a mod for the video and tell them to take it more seriously? Still remember laughing so hard at that
Yeah. I mean success isn't just subscriber count though, y'know. At the end of the day if you're doing something you love and you can afford a tin of baked beans, that's good.
Man, looking back on the yogs it makes me sad that we'll never get to see Sjin with them again, nor will we get to see the big Minecraft series' with everyone. I love all of the content they produce, even the constant TTT videos. I just hope one day they'll get back to being popular again and be more inclined to making videos on games that they really want to play, without thinking about if it will be popular enough.
Something I'm so interested in these days is the rise and fall of mega channels due to the individual exposure of their employees/contractors. Like Rooster Teeth... It's only as valuable as its members, but it brought those people together and developed their chemistry. And in many early cases, made those people's careers. To the point where people get attached to the members and not the business itself. You're basically building these people up to the point where they leave you because of the equity they have with people in your community, and in some cases, take those fans with them completely. And then you're basically hoping that new talent can take their position and keep the fan base or grow a new one. It's like in old, super long-lived tv shows when someone would leave because they got too famous. The only difference is they usually left to do different things, not play the same character, just on a different platform like it is with new media.
I'v watched Sips ever since his very first series of minecraft with the beaver mafia with Sjin, which no one ever mentions. It's simply amazing how many years its been, and after all this time, hearing him say, as much as he does, how much he acknowledges Lewis and Simon as literally founding fathers who support so many people just makes him so much more of a great guy. The best guy.
on the one hand? not the top yog. on the other hand? wouldn't be top anything without the yog. bUT FRANKLY. sips is my favorite yog and if I didn't love his content so much, I wouldn't have ever bothered to explore other creators in the yogscast altogether. sips does great things for other content creators, too. collaboration is hella important. I don't watch anything if it doesn't include sips lol
@@trash_girlfriend years ago he was flirting inappropriately with a few fans (one *may* have been underage). After the Turps and Caff controversy, that stuff was brought up and sjin was asked to leave the yogs
Yogscast is special in the way that everyone just seems like a family. Most MCNs don't feel that way anymore really. Like how many networks can boast their creators have karaoke night and hosts one of the biggest gaming charity events?
It annoys me when people say that the Yogscast is too corperate now and they used to be just friends messing about. They have to be reasonable and make buisness decisions yes but you would be lying if the main draw of joining the Yogscast isn't the creator support network and the loyal community. When joining the Yogs there are no contractual obligations to collab or video appearance quotas, you don't have to engage at all and some don't (like vadact or hitscan) which is fine but there's a reason so many do and the Jingle Jam wouldn't be as good if they weren't all friends.
I wouldn't like to hear people are trying to join the Yogs just for fame. Big fame and big money is cool, but to have these awesome gaming friends is the dream.
So I've read alot into why Yogscast fell and it seems to be 3 major reasons. 1 Minecraft became unpopular after awhile and since they were a heavy Minecraft franchise they went down with the ship. 2 major content creators leaving, primarily Simmon and Sijn arguably the 2 most popular content creators. 3 CZcams changed, especially with the ADpocalypse. CZcams just became a platform that wasn't really worth the trouble anymore and with the rise of Twitch it became more advantageous to just abandon CZcams. Take Sips channel for example he doesn't even really use his channel any more but he's on twitch everyday. These 3 reasons are what I've gathered from the community as to why Yogscast fell.
When you have a group who are so tight and work so well together the second you start taking members out of that it breaks hard. Turps fucked up no excuses for him sjin get fake accusations and fired undeserved but lomadiah blackmailed lewis to fire him then she left the company straight after (total scumbag bitch) but anyway with 2 core members gone they just started splitting up. They couldn't even gets sips to be in videos anymore simon was gone 90% of the time for health reasons so they just went to a total new crew full of diversity hires which obviously didn't match comedy or chemistry. Biggest cause of dead channels on youtube is people forgetting their roots. These were a group of friends playing games together. You can't simply ditch and replace a group like that and expect fans to stay. Just look at achievement hunter. Channel pulling 1-5 million views per video most of the og cast gone now channel is currently pulling 10-30k views per video lol. Idk why people expect channels to stay popular if the entire cast has changed.
Yogscast before was like a club. You show up often enough eventually people recognise you on the street. Yogscast today however is like a Recovering Addicts group. Everyone's got 99 problems but... (I'm leaving that up to your imagination.)
A benefit until they drag up some raunchy messages you sent 4 years ago that made one person uncomfortable therefore you get thrown onto the pire or cancel culture.

Yeah. I mean success isn't just subscriber count though, y'know. At the end of the day if you're doing something you love and you can afford a tin of baked beans, that's good.
Well I think that’s how it should be. Many people just don’t think that way
@@cassu6 Well apparently at least 3 do including myself so that's a good start.
@@RAFMnBgaming Indeed. Hopefully more people will start thinking like that. The world would be helluva lot better place
Love the wholesome sips
Been subbed to Sips since Dig'n'rig episdoe 1 came up on my homepage. The Real Guy, The Best Guy #BringBackToasterMic
Man, looking back on the yogs it makes me sad that we'll never get to see Sjin with them again, nor will we get to see the big Minecraft series' with everyone. I love all of the content they produce, even the constant TTT videos. I just hope one day they'll get back to being popular again and be more inclined to making videos on games that they really want to play, without thinking about if it will be popular enough.
Something I'm so interested in these days is the rise and fall of mega channels due to the individual exposure of their employees/contractors. Like Rooster Teeth... It's only as valuable as its members, but it brought those people together and developed their chemistry. And in many early cases, made those people's careers. To the point where people get attached to the members and not the business itself. You're basically building these people up to the point where they leave you because of the equity they have with people in your community, and in some cases, take those fans with them completely. And then you're basically hoping that new talent can take their position and keep the fan base or grow a new one.
It's like in old, super long-lived tv shows when someone would leave because they got too famous. The only difference is they usually left to do different things, not play the same character, just on a different platform like it is with new media.
Dig n rig got me started on sips
I'v watched Sips ever since his very first series of minecraft with the beaver mafia with Sjin, which no one ever mentions. It's simply amazing how many years its been, and after all this time, hearing him say, as much as he does, how much he acknowledges Lewis and Simon as literally founding fathers who support so many people just makes him so much more of a great guy. The best guy.
Hey everybody, sips here. Welcome to Dig-N-Rig
At one point there was only 5 featured gaming videos and yogscast was consistently 3-5 of those videos.
I saw the thumbnail and title and instantly said to myself "Oh no, Sips just killed his own career."
I never liked sips whenever i watched the yogscast. I dont remmeber why I started watching him but his skyrim series and humor made me like him.
on the one hand? not the top yog. on the other hand? wouldn't be top anything without the yog. bUT FRANKLY. sips is my favorite yog and if I didn't love his content so much, I wouldn't have ever bothered to explore other creators in the yogscast altogether. sips does great things for other content creators, too. collaboration is hella important. I don't watch anything if it doesn't include sips lol
I love sips, he's such a good boy
The real benefit? Loads of exposure to sell amazing quality dirt!
It ain't the same without Sjin :(
I haven't been around for ages, what happened to him?
According to Pedguin, he's going to do a stream soon! And start making independent videos too
@@trash_girlfriend years ago he was flirting inappropriately with a few fans (one *may* have been underage). After the Turps and Caff controversy, that stuff was brought up and sjin was asked to leave the yogs
SuperSMT turns out that was a lie?
@@cassu6 only the underage part was confirmed not to truth.
The rest is just Chinese whispers
I love this man, ol' Chris piss.
Yogscast is special in the way that everyone just seems like a family. Most MCNs don't feel that way anymore really. Like how many networks can boast their creators have karaoke night and hosts one of the biggest gaming charity events?
It annoys me when people say that the Yogscast is too corperate now and they used to be just friends messing about. They have to be reasonable and make buisness decisions yes but you would be lying if the main draw of joining the Yogscast isn't the creator support network and the loyal community. When joining the Yogs there are no contractual obligations to collab or video appearance quotas, you don't have to engage at all and some don't (like vadact or hitscan) which is fine but there's a reason so many do and the Jingle Jam wouldn't be as good if they weren't all friends.
I remember the videos where he played orcs must die, found it through the yogscast :)
No empire can stand forever
feels like a dig at hannah..
An unintentional but accurate dig
I wouldn't like to hear people are trying to join the Yogs just for fame. Big fame and big money is cool, but to have these awesome gaming friends is the dream.
The real guy, the best guy x
Dig N' Rig Babaaay!
What a legend
Ah the bluexephos days
Heard of you when the Tekkit series was going on
Long story short, *it is what it is.*
I want sips to play with pewdiepie now
Martyn has, waaayy back near the peak of the Yogs
I was one of those days one subscribers 🙂
Respectable guy sips
This is the side of sips they don't want you to see
So I've read alot into why Yogscast fell and it seems to be 3 major reasons. 1 Minecraft became unpopular after awhile and since they were a heavy Minecraft franchise they went down with the ship. 2 major content creators leaving, primarily Simmon and Sijn arguably the 2 most popular content creators. 3 CZcams changed, especially with the ADpocalypse. CZcams just became a platform that wasn't really worth the trouble anymore and with the rise of Twitch it became more advantageous to just abandon CZcams. Take Sips channel for example he doesn't even really use his channel any more but he's on twitch everyday. These 3 reasons are what I've gathered from the community as to why Yogscast fell.
Who tf is Simmon? If you mean Simon then he's still there.
When you have a group who are so tight and work so well together the second you start taking members out of that it breaks hard. Turps fucked up no excuses for him sjin get fake accusations and fired undeserved but lomadiah blackmailed lewis to fire him then she left the company straight after (total scumbag bitch) but anyway with 2 core members gone they just started splitting up. They couldn't even gets sips to be in videos anymore simon was gone 90% of the time for health reasons so they just went to a total new crew full of diversity hires which obviously didn't match comedy or chemistry.
Biggest cause of dead channels on youtube is people forgetting their roots. These were a group of friends playing games together. You can't simply ditch and replace a group like that and expect fans to stay. Just look at achievement hunter. Channel pulling 1-5 million views per video most of the og cast gone now channel is currently pulling 10-30k views per video lol. Idk why people expect channels to stay popular if the entire cast has changed.
Loyal to the soil
god bless sips
So Xeno, was Sips right? No benefit at all in joining now? :D
I didn’t know this was a Jar Media video
Yogscast before was like a club. You show up often enough eventually people recognise you on the street.
Yogscast today however is like a Recovering Addicts group. Everyone's got 99 problems but... (I'm leaving that up to your imagination.)
His facecam is so tiny
I miss the cheat police series
Sipsu is goodman. John Goodman.
no uber in kansas
A benefit until they drag up some raunchy messages you sent 4 years ago that made one person uncomfortable therefore you get thrown onto the pire or cancel culture.
Hahaha, the thumbnail really throws you off the vibe of this video
If it wasn't for the yogscast, I wouldn't have subscribed to you. I believe it was dig rig game or something
I unsubscribed from the yogscast and not you
Is this the minecraft version of Kripp?
I think he was talking about being in the yogs now that they’ve been dying for years and have so many scandalous ordeals.
twas a different time
according to tb the yogs didnt do the same
And now your a yog
Could you imagine if sips never joined yogs? We would never know best dad!
