    this was so real and honestly, felt strangely reassuring to see the rejections you’ve had to face being someone who, in my eyes, has this absolutely uncontainable, undeniable talent. its corny but hearing this story really confirmed everything happens for a reason. your content is the best it’s ever been and the truth is that- you really don’t need netflix or a big ol production crew, what you’re creating right now on your own is the fucking MOMENT. you’re such a talented storyteller, top to bottom, these videos are masterpieces that you have full control over and you’re fucking NAILING it. so as much as i’m sure this breakup was tough for the both of you, i think it makes so much sense and you’ll both end up where you need to be. you’re taking the youtube format and absolutely eating it up and making it your own and it’s a joy to watch. not to mention, there’s a level of closeness that you get on youtube that you can’t get on these big productions and that closeness lends itself to travel content so much because you feel like you’re fully immersed in the day to day, experiencing real people and moments you probably wouldn’t get if you had 5 massive cameras and a few sound guys following you around. anyways, all of this just to say, i think you’re right where you need to be. you’re killing it damon!!!

    Wow Damon... First of all can I just say, with everything that happened, you really did a great job at dusting yourself off and starting again. I can only imagine the confusing and conflicting emotions you felt whilst everything happened.
    It's such a SH*T situation as well because I can't blame Jo for taking the role but I also can't blame you for feeling any form of resentment as you pretty much lost everything you guys had worked for. I initially thought you two "divorced" because she got a bf and went AWOL. I had no idea the Netflix program happened that long ago and was basically the nail in the coffin.
    I watched the entire Netflix show and... I'm conflicted because I watched it to support Jo but whilst watching it, I felt like the chemistry was only felt between her and Megan. The other guy was always on the other side of the room and looked like he didn't wanna hang with them so I did think "Why did they not just invite Damon because they would've all gotten along?". BUT, the moment I got through the first two episodes I was like.... this is too sanitised and polished and was seemingly against what you two initially wanted in a Netflix show.
    I think in the end, it was a blessing you continued with your own channel because it's SO *unique* and artistic. I need these big companies to see your vision because it's a lot more interesting and left field to mainstream "sure thing's". It sucks you too aren't friends anymore but just know your channel is so so special and you have a dedicated audience that is willing to support you! Thank you for being transparent with us :)

    I think we’re Jo failed Damon was not being transparent and honest. Of course it makes sense for her to take the Netflix deal but even with the book deal thing and starting a relationship channel she should have sat down with Damon and let it all out. As soon as she started that channel with her boyfriend it felt shady even for ME as a viewer. It felt very one sided. If there was more transparency this friendship could have remained. Also, just a reminder to everyone that just because you have a bf doesn’t mean your friendships or plans are second fiddle.

      exactly the book deal and the new solo channel were the shadiest things for me. apart from being very shady, her decision to move back for a man was very foolish to me, i don’t feel like a man at the peak of his career would ever make that sacrifice of leaving the country where he works to be with a woman ( i mean they were only going to be there for 4 months why couldn’t she wait 🙄) and that new “dating” channel was kind of putting her eggs in one basket transitioning from travel vlogging to that somewhat¿ (again something a man might never do) but it’s all past now. everyone has their path.

      You must have never had a team or a real partnership, because if you had you would not make this statement. She should have been transparent knowing that his income would pretty much end. Also, her contract with Netflix made it near impossible for them to film the show. Also, he does not seem and has not acted in a malicious manner, so he definitely would not have held her back. It would have allowed him to start to branch out. a business is a contractual agreement, so he she owed him that much. I would never watch her show, based on her handling of this situation.

    Netflix fucked this one up. That show that Jo is on could get rid of Megan (I'm sorry but she brings nothing special to the show) & probably the guy too. Damon was perfect for this. I know Damon is going to make his dream a reality. When you have such a pure soul the universe will shift in your favor. Might take longer but it will HAPPEN!

    It's Netflix's loss for rejecting Damon. Anyway, I'm really glad Damon recognized his strength and weakness and how he was able to grow as a strong independent person. I'm so proud of him. He has my respect!

    The first time I saw her new bf in one of her videos I immediately didn't trust him. I sensed he was using her for her popularity on social media.

    I really love that you’re actually saying what was going on from your perspective in a way that doesn’t feel like you’re trying to hide anything. It can be really frustrating watching creators beat around the bush

    Something similar happened with Michaela Coel, where Netflix undersold her and wanted to water down her content and remove ownership over her series “I May Destroy You”. She held out, got a contract with HBO and was awarded an Emmy for her show- all the while retaining ownership and creative control.

    to be honest I can’t imagine that turning down a Netflix deal would have turned out well either. I’m sure resentment would have started to build on Jo’s end if that happened. This all around seems like it was a no win situation 😕😕
