AJ, I found you a little over a year ago and I’m SO glad I did. In my 68 years, you are hands down, the best storyteller I’ve ever heard. It’s a true talent, just like an artist, musician or actor. You put in a ton of work with each episode, and your grasp of the often times complex facts,are truly I impressive. Thank you sir for your talent, hard work, commitment to your craft and for the ENTERTAINMENT. Wish you and your family the best things in life.

I am a hardcore TH-camr and The Why Files puts together the most entertaining and informing videos on this platform. You are a solid researcher, producer, and entertainer. Plus the topics you cover are what im always searching for. Keep up the great work!! You deserve the best 👍🏼
These videos are fantastic while at work. I work alone doing lawncare and landscaping and it's nice to just turn on one of these compilations and have it last me most of the day. Glad you blew up. A channel truly deserving of its growth
I hear you. One ear listening to Why Files, or old O and A shows, with the other ear on the world around me. It helps allot, creates a kind of equilibrium, even when dripping sweat, poncho in a storm or calm cool work-a-days, or indoors tasks, these shows really help.
This channel is my favorite TH-cam channel. I'm not going anywhere. I don't care if you took a 1 year break. I'm here for life baby! I've watched so many shows in my 34 years of life and this is my favorite by far! Love you AJ, Hecklefish and The Why Files Team (Production and everyone behind the channel) and The Why Files Family (all the subscribers who've made this possible) All of you are amazing and I hope but nothing for the best for all of you!
@@Supxrcharged I watch all the commercials and don’t press skip as a way to support the show. Everyone else should as well if you’re not a paid member.
I like the compilations more than just watching a bunch of the old videos because these are all "themed" so they're easy to get through. Thank you, Why Files Crew! :)
And... There are some I missed first time round. This is great. How did I miss this one? I thought I went down the rabbit hole and hit every episode. Apparently not...

I’m a new viewer of about a month. My one son (a twin) suggested your channel. He told me it was a conspiracy theory channel and I said, “not interested”. He explained it was different and sent me a link. Out of respect for my son, I watched….and became addicted immediately. Another son (the other twin) told me a couple of weeks later, when I told him I was binging on your channel, that he loves the channel and is a patreon member. He hates the compilations, he’s seen them all. I LOVE them! Helps me catch up on the most fascinating ones 😊
Conspiracy theory channel's are great when they do what AJ does. His show is similar to an old one called Believe it or Not in that he tells the story and then goes through debunking what he can. And that he always has something he can't is always great
I love his style. My husband claims he can't stand Heckelfish, but I see him laughing at the funny little jabs. I especially love the end where he goes into the "is it real?". I appreciate having both sides of an argument. I also find myself going back to old episodes and I always find things I missed the first time around. My two favorite episodes are "Mel's hole" and "Shadow People". Intriguing and creepy!
This channel is the absolute best. I stumbled upon the why files about 2 months ago, and i believe i have binged your entire playlist, multiple times. Id rather listen to your stories over and over, then about anything else. I listen to you everyday at work, and at home. Completely captivating, and so well put together, from your tin foiled hat wearing hecklefish, ( whose perspectives and comedy are priceless,) to the theme song during the credits, i sing along, and that my wife joins me, and has become quite a follower as well. Keep supplying us with fantastic content, we will never stop following. We visit the Merch shop frequently, and we Rep THE WHY FILES. Love the compilations as much as the individual broadcasts. U guys are STARS!
Just the fact that he keeps us informed is huge. Most creators wouldn't even take a couple minutes to say they are running behind. WF goes above and beyond and gives us compilations to tide us over. When I watch the compilations, it's usually only the second time watching each of the stories so I welcome them. One view isn't enough for me to h really soak up the info. Super grateful for these and they let me know that they are taking their time to get the next vid perfect. I usually know all the stories before WF talks about them but they make them seem new to me. The production and personalities are top notch
@@user-kq6ju6hc1w So why are you here? You're not "we" Or "us" But you take the time to go through comments and say "that?" Just like I did, with "this."
Apparently I am only allowed to reply and not to comment myself. No idea why. But what I wanted to say is that I love all your content, and I love these long videos. I don't mind hearing you telling things twice 😉
Miigwetch Thank You AJ , Heckles & team. Heavy stuff, just b4 her 16th bday, my oldest grandgirl took her life under pressure of bullying. I'm in mi they are in MN. It would make folks there uncomfortable, so wasn't allowed to go. Thank you for this compilation right now. It distracted me & I'm grateful. Love you guys
I wouldn't stress man. This is the exact reason TV shows have seasons. There needs to be a break sometime. I think most of us are happy with any and all content. Even though I may have watched everything already I still watch the compilations. Listening to similar and possibly connected stories all together brings a different view on them. Thank you for the content.
@TechnoMinarchistBall yeah man, fuck the algorithm. I easily spent years looking up every instance the whyfiles covers, and never once did I get a recommendation, I had to search them out after reading a comment saying something about the whyfiles and now it's easily my favorite thing on TH-cam
AJ and team, im a father of 3 in my 30s and am so greatful for your content, my pick for movie night is ALWAYS The Why Files, me and the kids love it, the mrs rolls her eyes sometimes but its better than anything else out there and she knows it ;) admitting your significant other picked a good watch is a bit of a thing in my tribe
HAHAHA!!!sucker!!!….(jk dude I have 5 of em dude.i feel you 💯 percent.this show is a small comfort in a world filled with dirty diapers,bitching wife’s,and empty wallets.its awesome to know people like a.j still exist.and actually strive to stay in tune with their fan base.not to mention its the best channel on TH-cam
Your team is really good. Well done!! You are very good at teaching, explaining, there are times I feel like you transport me to the places you talk about. Your attention to details often overlooked by others is what brings me back time and time again. Thank you for being you. I am proud of you.
Don't go apologizing for compilations, brother! You give us these incredible videos for free. You don't owe us anything. We love that you keep giving us content, but true fans want you and the team to prioritize yourselves! Take all the time you need.
I make insanely smelly bowel movements. So what's your take on that? Come on, for real, just what is your response to that? Also, my mom's farts taste good. Is that strange to you or is it pretty normal stuff?
Bro, there’s no need to ever apologize. Everyone should be thankful that you put these compilations together. Live your life do your thing, we’ll be here when you get back.
Dude, it seems like everyone is onboard with those messages and only you are alone at your take. Dont like that? Watch another channel, WE are not going to miss you. Safe travels @user-kq6ju6hc1w
@krispykritter_ not 5 minutes for sure, it takes longer to at least render it. I get your point, though. Well I'm bummed too, that there's no new video but at the same time quality is what matters to me the most because otherwise the channel could lose what makes it special, like many other channels have as they grew. I mean our expectations grow with every new episode, most of them are longer than before it adds to it as well. About paying monthly, I mean you can stop doing that at any point you want and vote with your wallet.
I really appreciate you still taking the time to put fun content in the middle of the compilation episodes despite being so busy. You could just throw a compilation together and we'd still be just as grateful without any of the additional commentary. Hope you're taking care of yourself and thank you for being so loyal and dedicated to this community 💙
He didn't take a break, it's his job. He's a content creator. He didn't take time from creating content to create more content. he's busy doing exactly what he's doing by making filler sections for these compilation videos. Respect this mans hustle 💪
We're essentially getting a quality, informational documentary every week. I don't think anyone here would be upset if it got backed down to 1-2 a month. No need to apologize for an amazing show. Thanks for the hard work!!!
Honestly these compilations are great for having in my headphones while i work. Its even better than making a Playlist because you put content in between. Thanks AJ
as someone who only started watching WF about a year or so ago - these compilations are amazing in catching me up on past videos i've missed. some real gems back during the pandemic era 🤣
I’m amazed at how ungrateful some people are. I mean, it takes an enormous amount of time and effort doing these and we get to watch them for free so just be appreciative, support and be understanding for these content creators. They too have lives outside of YT. Thank you, AJ and HF for all you do for us ❤️
The vignettes in between each episode make them feel fresh. I have watched all these episodes but this new commentary on each of them makes me very comfortable. This is a solid format, brother.
A walk in time is how this feels to me. With great illustrations. You give the pros and cons in and outs,possible scenarios and debunk myths. And you also leave room for us to make our own decisions and use our imaginations which is awesome. And with all of these many aspects there is no doubt how much work and research is involved to put something together. And that's just the story line. Then you have to put everything together for the videos which are evolving from a band to a symphony. Well done! Enjoy your life. I am looking forward to whatever develops even if it remains at this high caliber of production. Erock,Tulsa
Hi AJ and Hecklfish! Just wanted to let you know that these videos are helping me through a really rough time right now. I’m so grateful for this channel. Whether it’s a regular video or compilation video, it’s keeping me sane. Thank you ❤
We are never alone and are connected to everyone and everything, yet we never really see it or feel it I'm getting a feeling that amazing things are coming for you in the near future- the best is yet to come Lily. May you be blessed and fulfilled.
I relate. For me, it's a humorously engaging possibility. Reality can be disappointing. You let us play with imagination. Thank you AJ for reminding me there are things worth exploring in our world. You play with possibilities and bring us back to reality.
No need to apologize for throwing a compilation out there once in a while. Especially when its in order to free up time to make good quality future episodes. I honestly dont know how you guys do an episode a week that is not short by any means, and also manage to pack in as much useful content as possible keeping the viewers engaged the entire time. Its not easy to put together a good quality show thats actually worth watching, I'm sure at least most of us understand that much. I would watch if it were a bi-weekly, or even monthly show, but weekly is a huge bonus so if theres got to be a week here and there where we get a compilation so that more focus can be put onto future episodes and getting information gathered to complete those, or whatever else needs catching up with to keep things running snoothly, I just look at it like a recap of what we've covered already. Its actually cool because seeing all the different pieces of information presented at the same time almost always ends up with me seeing something I didnt catch before, or maybe makes me think a little differently about something. The good thing about a show like this is that your audience isnt a bunch of mindless idiots, so chances are youll never have to worry much about upsetting anyone over something so petty, I would certainly hope not anyways. Thanks for the comp. I like to listen to these while I work sometimes.
Just came across the Why Files channel. Absolutely love this channel AJ and his team do a great job and Ive binged watch every episode. Definitely got a fan for life in me. Thank you for the great content
Jay, you're the only channel approaching those topics with a sane, level-headed yet entertaining approach. The least we could do is being equally sane with you : take your time for whatever you're doing. It's important you still enjoy your time doing it and if it takes a few compilation videos to prevent a burnout it's WORTH IT. You guys are the best, don't be afraid to just be yourselves.
I think that these compilation vids are great. I like watching the normal vids too. Living in the UK, I usually get to watch them on a Friday night, or into the early hours of Saturday morning. This is the one channel I look forward to watching every weekend. Thank You A. J. and Hecklefish.
AJ if certain people can’t understand that you can’t rush greatness, well excuse my language but to heck with them , you upload your content whenever the time is right and convenient for you and all of your loyal Subs will be right here waiting.💪🏾💯❌💯
Why Files is a minimum, minimum, 10,000 times better and more watchable than current TV. Engaging, thought provoking, interesting, targeting IQs higher than the lowest common denominator, educational; the list of positive adjectives goes on and on. AJ and the team are well on their way of becoming legends. Best channel on TH-cam for sure.
Take a break man. Don’t get burnt out. Same as your crew. Sometimes we all need to step away for a minute, take a breath, enjoy life for a moment and come back. I can’t imagine many of us would leave or have any negative remarks. You’ve gotta do you man and enjoy life.
Hecklefish's on-time prompts are hilarious... and authoritative. The past forever reshapes itself. AJ, don't apologise for anything. We love you and know how valuable your channel is.
Showing LOVE for my absolute FAVORITE channel period thank you everyone at The Why Files for the hard work and research you put into each and every video thank you everyone. Have a blessed day and weekend everyone.
Your channel ROCKS! And no, we are not going anywhere. Even compilation videos are good. I really appreciate all of the work u put in. Will be joining as soon as I can get my heath problems under control and I can go back to work i will be joining them. Unfortunately I can't right now. I sincerely apologize for not becoming a member. Have amazing day .
AJ, everyone needs a break. If anything, we appreciate that you have not quit. This is probably the least biast and most wholesome channel on TH-cam. I am just grateful that you share and work so hard to bring the world this content.
I admit I go to sleep nightly to these even though I’ve seen them all! the compilations are just as good, just keep the videos coming and we’ll watch them!
No need to apologize. I love the compilations! I keep them on in the background because I nerd out on a topic and I don't have to keep looking for new videos. You provide hours of lazy listening :)
I love this guys expansive knowledge of history, and how in depth he can go with the most notoriously mysterious legends of the past. Asking the questions that need to be asked, highlighting important details, and being honest about hoaxes and false testimonials. He knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat, like a true story teller, cleverly adding light sarcasm here and there, poking fun at the most outlandish conspiracies; but at the same time reminding us to not believe everything that is being told to us and to remain doubtful especially when is comes to the people in charge. But what sets him apart is he does this all while staying within the bounderies of sciencific fact and hard truths. Your great at what you do, AJ. thank you for bringing us true entertainment. 🏅🍿👌
I love these compilations. I put them on when I go to bed. It’s my new Unsolved Mysteries. I already watched all of the UM episodes several times over.
In all my years on TH-cam(I am 36 when this video was uploaded, for future reference) I have NEVER seen a channel as entertaining as this one(at least for my interests). Thank you. I was reading about aliens when I was in university, that is when I became fascinated with them. Today, watching your previous videos, I learned that the Tall Whites use the triangular space ships, as far as I know the grays use the disk shaped. And here is a story from my personal experience. Once, when I was very young, me and my mother were going from Pleven to Sofia, Bulgaria to greet my father, who was coming back from conference(I forgot where), to meet him at the airport. We had a red BMW E30 at the time and the plan is to go to Sofia for fun and come back with the car. On the way there, on the bus, RIGHT after Zlatna Panega, me and my mom(as well as some other people on the bus) saw the cigar/cylinder shaped UFO. No, it was not a helicopter, nor an airplane, it was a UFO. And it was day, I could clearly see it. I kid you not, after I grew up and, Internet became more of "a thing" and I started reading about aliens. I saw a picture of it on the Internet(as mentioned, I think it was in my university years). I saw a picture of THE EXACT same object...... imagine my excitement! I think that, from what I've read, it is a carrier of other, disk shaped UFOs, stacked on top of each other(if I remember correctly). Now, MANY years later, every time (sometimes twice a week), when I drive past Zlatna Panega, I look up with the hopes of seeing "something". Again, this is not made up. I can't prove it to ANY of you, but that was my experience back then. The coordinates on Google Maps are: 43.07823462455098, 24.152040108159603. Also search for information about Vera Kochovska. From what I remember my parents were close with her. I've met her a few times, mainly for treatment. Amazing woman. You felt safe around her and instantly felt her abilities. I won't say anything else on that topic, since I don't feel like I should, can't describe it. Note: If I remember something else I will add it later to the comment.
Bulagaria’s known to be a high-energy site and many people have experienced UFO sightings there among other unexplainable things. I don’t doubt the validity of your story at all.
@@2ndLife2025 I think I heard that somewhere, yes. Thank you. Sometimes I ask myself if this really was the case and if I made it up, but no, it was real. I also want to go to check out the Tsarichina hole. Someday I will!
I came to the comment section probably for the same reason why I'm seeing so much hate. This channel is my favourite channel on TH-cam, and I only stumbled upon AJ and the Why Files about a year and a bit ago. I get dissappointed when there isn't a new episode. The people that complain about comps, are probably doing so because they look that much forward to new episodes every week. AJ, the quality and detail you put into your content is phenomenal. I also come from pro broadcasting and can tell the special care you've taken in all aspects to produce such a great product. You're getting hate because you're so great, keep up the good work and I'll keep looking forward every week for my next WF fix.
As others have said: I fall asleep to these compilation videos. AJ...it means we find your voice soothing! They are something we have already watched...theres COMFORT in the KNOWN.
Dude, I like the compilations. I watch The Why Files a lot, especially when I need to relax. Your voice is soft and comforting, relaxed and relaxing. Regarding Lizzid people. Last time I had my eyes checked the eye Dr said my eyes work independently from each other. You don't suppose I'm a Lizzid people, do you?!?! 🤗👵🌞🐉☮💙🐸💨💨💨
0:15 AJ, Hecklefish, WF Team, no need to apologize for a compilation. It saves me from having to go through playlists, or follow rabbit holes. I love it!! Gerdy I’m sure loves it haha! But seriously guys, since day one, WF is my favorite show. Thanks for all you do.
The Grand Canyon episode was the first Why Files episode I watched and it had me hooked. After that I’ve went down the rabbit hole and watched every episode. Rewatching some of the old live streams now. Love you guys and the channel.
I should say this on a more recent video , I mean if you don’t see the comment doesn’t matter tbh , but I just want to say that you have such a great way of “story telling” and you’re so easy to listen to , I very much appreciate your cotent as a curious guy who has a very hard time committing to reading , but you peak my curiosity so much more makes me actually want to get into reading and researching , open up my mind more , maybe I over sharing but anyways thank you for that , you’re amazing man.
AJ, I watch a lot of channels on TH-cam, but The Why Files has consistently been my favorite. The various topics are fun and thought provoking. It’s obvious to me that you are the reason for the success. I understand your need to step away and refocus. I understand that on a personal level. I will be here when you’re ready. Best wishes ❤
We know you gotta post often to keep the revenue coming in brother. We appreciate the compilations and reruns. You could even re-do old episodes with NEW sponsors and we eat it up because we love your content and how you deliver it! Your humility is appreciated and inspiring! Thank you AJ!

So why are you here?
You're not "we"
Or "us"
But you take the time to go through comments and say "that?"
Just like I did, with "this."
I’m not mad. I’m just happy you’re still doing videos.
I taught him how
Classic PR take
Apparently I am only allowed to reply and not to comment myself. No idea why. But what I wanted to say is that I love all your content, and I love these long videos. I don't mind hearing you telling things twice 😉
@@JannekeBruines youtube police shadow ban you for speaking the truth now days
@@JannekeBruines Me too.
Don’t apologise for the compilations, we love them! It’s amazing to get TWF focused on one topic! 3 hours… love it❤❤❤
Absolutely agreed!!
Miigwetch Thank You AJ , Heckles & team. Heavy stuff, just b4 her 16th bday, my oldest grandgirl took her life under pressure of bullying. I'm in mi they are in MN. It would make folks there uncomfortable, so wasn't allowed to go. Thank you for this compilation right now. It distracted me & I'm grateful.
Love you guys
I wouldn't stress man. This is the exact reason TV shows have seasons. There needs to be a break sometime. I think most of us are happy with any and all content. Even though I may have watched everything already I still watch the compilations. Listening to similar and possibly connected stories all together brings a different view on them.
Thank you for the content.
Yes! I love the similarities in one go.
Same
The problem is the algorithm. Channels that don't post frequently get downranked and their notifications don't reach as many people.
@TechnoMinarchistBall yeah man, fuck the algorithm. I easily spent years looking up every instance the whyfiles covers, and never once did I get a recommendation, I had to search them out after reading a comment saying something about the whyfiles and now it's easily my favorite thing on TH-cam
@@andystarz7936 same!!! TH-cam NEVER suggests why files videos. I’ve watched SO many and I get ZERO recommendations on my main feed
AJ and team, im a father of 3 in my 30s and am so greatful for your content, my pick for movie night is ALWAYS The Why Files, me and the kids love it, the mrs rolls her eyes sometimes but its better than anything else out there and she knows it ;) admitting your significant other picked a good watch is a bit of a thing in my tribe
HAHAHA!!!sucker!!!….(jk dude I have 5 of em dude.i feel you 💯 percent.this show is a small comfort in a world filled with dirty diapers,bitching wife’s,and empty wallets.its awesome to know people like a.j still exist.and actually strive to stay in tune with their fan base.not to mention its the best channel on TH-cam
Your team is really good.
Well done!!
You are very good at teaching, explaining, there are times I feel like you transport me to the places you talk about. Your attention to details often overlooked by others is what brings me back time and time again.
Thank you for being you. I am proud of you.
No rush on videos ever. Dont ever apologize for anything. You’ve put in more work for our enjoyment than most people put in for themselves.
Don't go apologizing for compilations, brother! You give us these incredible videos for free. You don't owe us anything. We love that you keep giving us content, but true fans want you and the team to prioritize yourselves! Take all the time you need.
Concur ❤
I make insanely smelly bowel movements. So what's your take on that? Come on, for real, just what is your response to that? Also, my mom's farts taste good. Is that strange to you or is it pretty normal stuff?
Bro, there’s no need to ever apologize. Everyone should be thankful that you put these compilations together. Live your life do your thing, we’ll be here when you get back.
What a wonderfully talented storyteller. True Emmy quality.
M8, seriously, we know you will output and we love it. Please don't feel any stress from us to get your videos out. Your community is here for you.
You are only 1 person, why are you typing "we"?
@@user-kq6ju6hc1w Did you just assume my pronouns?
Dude, it seems like everyone is onboard with those messages and only you are alone at your take. Dont like that? Watch another channel, WE are not going to miss you. Safe travels @user-kq6ju6hc1w
@@user-kq6ju6hc1wwhy are you commenting so much? If you don't like the videos f off. Simple as? Lol
@krispykritter_ not 5 minutes for sure, it takes longer to at least render it. I get your point, though.
Well I'm bummed too, that there's no new video but at the same time quality is what matters to me the most because otherwise the channel could lose what makes it special, like many other channels have as they grew.
I mean our expectations grow with every new episode, most of them are longer than before it adds to it as well.
About paying monthly, I mean you can stop doing that at any point you want and vote with your wallet.
I really appreciate you still taking the time to put fun content in the middle of the compilation episodes despite being so busy. You could just throw a compilation together and we'd still be just as grateful without any of the additional commentary. Hope you're taking care of yourself and thank you for being so loyal and dedicated to this community 💙
He didn't take a break, it's his job. He's a content creator. He didn't take time from creating content to create more content. he's busy doing exactly what he's doing by making filler sections for these compilation videos. Respect this mans hustle 💪
We're essentially getting a quality, informational documentary every week. I don't think anyone here would be upset if it got backed down to 1-2 a month. No need to apologize for an amazing show. Thanks for the hard work!!!
The compilations are better than normals. Longer and nicer to listen while sleeping!
Abby Normal
Honestly these compilations are great for having in my headphones while i work. Its even better than making a Playlist because you put content in between. Thanks AJ
as someone who only started watching WF about a year or so ago - these compilations are amazing in catching me up on past videos i've missed. some real gems back during the pandemic era 🤣
👆🏽😊
agreed
They have all the videos on their page...lol 😊
🐒🐵
I’m amazed at how ungrateful some people are. I mean, it takes an enormous amount of time and effort doing these and we get to watch them for free so just be appreciative, support and be understanding for these content creators. They too have lives outside of YT. Thank you, AJ and HF for all you do for us ❤️

Don’t ever apologize for putting together a categorized compilation. We all love them.
No "we all" don't

I second what james said. Love these. Listen too well playing osrs. If u know u know what that is
@@user-kq6ju6hc1w your voice obviously represents the majority
We use to I'm bored with em now
Over 24,000 views in 45 mins. That shows how popular this channel is!
The vignettes in between each episode make them feel fresh. I have watched all these episodes but this new commentary on each of them makes me very comfortable. This is a solid format, brother.
A walk in time is how this feels to me. With great illustrations. You give the pros and cons in and outs,possible scenarios and debunk myths. And you also leave room for us to make our own decisions and use our imaginations which is awesome. And with all of these many aspects there is no doubt how much work and research is involved to put something together. And that's just the story line. Then you have to put everything together for the videos which are evolving from a band to a symphony. Well done! Enjoy your life. I am looking forward to whatever develops even if it remains at this high caliber of production. Erock,Tulsa
Hi AJ and Hecklfish! Just wanted to let you know that these videos are helping me through a really rough time right now. I’m so grateful for this channel. Whether it’s a regular video or compilation video, it’s keeping me sane. Thank you ❤
Keep your chin up
We are never alone and are connected to everyone and everything, yet we never really see it or feel it I'm getting a feeling that amazing things are coming for you in the near future- the best is yet to come Lily. May you be blessed and fulfilled.
I relate. For me, it's a humorously engaging possibility. Reality can be disappointing. You let us play with imagination. Thank you AJ for reminding me there are things worth exploring in our world. You play with possibilities and bring us back to reality.
I love the compilations saves me from making a playlist. WhyFiles on repeat all though the night. Thanks for all you do
Apologize by making more compilations. We love you. Take care of yourself.
I like the compilations.
100% more.
what even happened?
No need to apologize for throwing a compilation out there once in a while. Especially when its in order to free up time to make good quality future episodes. I honestly dont know how you guys do an episode a week that is not short by any means, and also manage to pack in as much useful content as possible keeping the viewers engaged the entire time. Its not easy to put together a good quality show thats actually worth watching, I'm sure at least most of us understand that much. I would watch if it were a bi-weekly, or even monthly show, but weekly is a huge bonus so if theres got to be a week here and there where we get a compilation so that more focus can be put onto future episodes and getting information gathered to complete those, or whatever else needs catching up with to keep things running snoothly, I just look at it like a recap of what we've covered already. Its actually cool because seeing all the different pieces of information presented at the same time almost always ends up with me seeing something I didnt catch before, or maybe makes me think a little differently about something. The good thing about a show like this is that your audience isnt a bunch of mindless idiots, so chances are youll never have to worry much about upsetting anyone over something so petty, I would certainly hope not anyways. Thanks for the comp. I like to listen to these while I work sometimes.
Just came across the Why Files channel. Absolutely love this channel AJ and his team do a great job and Ive binged watch every episode. Definitely got a fan for life in me. Thank you for the great content
Jay, you're the only channel approaching those topics with a sane, level-headed yet entertaining approach. The least we could do is being equally sane with you : take your time for whatever you're doing. It's important you still enjoy your time doing it and if it takes a few compilation videos to prevent a burnout it's WORTH IT.
You guys are the best, don't be afraid to just be yourselves.
Get yourself right AJ. Your real followers aren’t going anywhere.
Facts
Sounds cultish.
@@PardonMyHandle all hail lord hecklefish.
@@PardonMyHandleWe have Taco Tuesdays!
What YOU Said!!! 🗣️💯👏🏾
I think that these compilation vids are great. I like watching the normal vids too. Living in the UK, I usually get to watch them on a Friday night, or into the early hours of Saturday morning. This is the one channel I look forward to watching every weekend. Thank You A. J. and Hecklefish.
Your complilations rock! We love them!! No worries.. 3 million people love your channel.. You’re doing something right ;-) ❤😊
It’s a blessing to have so much material to even put together compilations! Proud of the Why Files.
So true!
One of the best channels on TH-cam. Take as many breaks as you need. If you take a year, I'll be waiting for the next and be happy when it arrives.
Extended refresher courses on these subjects are kinda needed.
AJ if certain people can’t understand that you can’t rush greatness, well excuse my language but to heck with them , you upload your content whenever the time is right and convenient for you and all of your loyal Subs will be right here waiting.💪🏾💯❌💯
Why Files is a minimum, minimum, 10,000 times better and more watchable than current TV. Engaging, thought provoking, interesting, targeting IQs higher than the lowest common denominator, educational; the list of positive adjectives goes on and on. AJ and the team are well on their way of becoming legends. Best channel on TH-cam for sure.
Take a break man. Don’t get burnt out. Same as your crew. Sometimes we all need to step away for a minute, take a breath, enjoy life for a moment and come back. I can’t imagine many of us would leave or have any negative remarks. You’ve gotta do you man and enjoy life.
Compilations make my heart happy. I revisit them often. Get to new content when you can. We're not going anywhere.
Your videos, better than most of Hollywood movies 🎉 Thank you ❤
No apologies necessary. Loving the Compilations... And all your work.
Yes!!!🎉
💝🙏💕
Do one about memories from organ transplants🫀🫁
I'm absolutely here for a compilation thrown in while you work on the big stuff!!! I think they're fun!
I actually love these long ones! I really do have Why Files on repeat all night! Thank you for all you do! 😸
Best channel on TH-cam right here
Hecklefish's on-time prompts are hilarious... and authoritative. The past forever reshapes itself. AJ, don't apologise for anything. We love you and know how valuable your channel is.
Showing LOVE for my absolute FAVORITE channel period thank you everyone at The Why Files for the hard work and research you put into each and every video thank you everyone. Have a blessed day and weekend everyone.
These compilations are like book reviews of your favourite stories
Always fun to listen to you and Hecklefish
Thanks to your whole team
Your channel ROCKS! And no, we are not going anywhere. Even compilation videos are good. I really appreciate all of the work u put in. Will be joining as soon as I can get my heath problems under control and I can go back to work i will be joining them. Unfortunately I can't right now. I sincerely apologize for not becoming a member. Have amazing day .
Just keep watching and getting better!!! Wish you well.
AJ, everyone needs a break. If anything, we appreciate that you have not quit. This is probably the least biast and most wholesome channel on TH-cam.
I am just grateful that you share and work so hard to bring the world this content.
I admit I go to sleep nightly to these even though I’ve seen them all! the compilations are just as good, just keep the videos coming and we’ll watch them!
I love watching before bed! Best channel
No need to apologize. I love the compilations! I keep them on in the background because I nerd out on a topic and I don't have to keep looking for new videos. You provide hours of lazy listening :)
I love this guys expansive knowledge of history, and how in depth he can go with the most notoriously mysterious legends of the past. Asking the questions that need to be asked, highlighting important details, and being honest about hoaxes and false testimonials. He knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat, like a true story teller, cleverly adding light sarcasm here and there, poking fun at the most outlandish conspiracies; but at the same time reminding us to not believe everything that is being told to us and to remain doubtful especially when is comes to the people in charge. But what sets him apart is he does this all while staying within the bounderies of sciencific fact and hard truths.
Your great at what you do, AJ. thank you for bringing us true entertainment. 🏅🍿👌
Don't worry. No need to hurry content out. I enjoy rewatching all of your stuff. I always get more out of them.
Yes, like I forgot the name Agartha.
I love these compilations. I put them on when I go to bed. It’s my new Unsolved Mysteries. I already watched all of the UM episodes several times over.
I like these 3 hour compilations. It's a great way to spend a days off, some snacks + The Why Files = a nice evening/night.
AJ, we love the compilations brother! Don't apologize, we appreciate ALL of the work you guys do to entertain us! 💪
In all my years on TH-cam(I am 36 when this video was uploaded, for future reference) I have NEVER seen a channel as entertaining as this one(at least for my interests). Thank you. I was reading about aliens when I was in university, that is when I became fascinated with them. Today, watching your previous videos, I learned that the Tall Whites use the triangular space ships, as far as I know the grays use the disk shaped. And here is a story from my personal experience. Once, when I was very young, me and my mother were going from Pleven to Sofia, Bulgaria to greet my father, who was coming back from conference(I forgot where), to meet him at the airport. We had a red BMW E30 at the time and the plan is to go to Sofia for fun and come back with the car. On the way there, on the bus, RIGHT after Zlatna Panega, me and my mom(as well as some other people on the bus) saw the cigar/cylinder shaped UFO. No, it was not a helicopter, nor an airplane, it was a UFO. And it was day, I could clearly see it. I kid you not, after I grew up and, Internet became more of "a thing" and I started reading about aliens. I saw a picture of it on the Internet(as mentioned, I think it was in my university years). I saw a picture of THE EXACT same object...... imagine my excitement! I think that, from what I've read, it is a carrier of other, disk shaped UFOs, stacked on top of each other(if I remember correctly). Now, MANY years later, every time (sometimes twice a week), when I drive past Zlatna Panega, I look up with the hopes of seeing "something". Again, this is not made up. I can't prove it to ANY of you, but that was my experience back then. The coordinates on Google Maps are: 43.07823462455098, 24.152040108159603.
Also search for information about Vera Kochovska. From what I remember my parents were close with her. I've met her a few times, mainly for treatment. Amazing woman. You felt safe around her and instantly felt her abilities. I won't say anything else on that topic, since I don't feel like I should, can't describe it.
Note: If I remember something else I will add it later to the comment.
Bulagaria’s known to be a high-energy site and many people have experienced UFO sightings there among other unexplainable things. I don’t doubt the validity of your story at all.
@@2ndLife2025 I think I heard that somewhere, yes. Thank you. Sometimes I ask myself if this really was the case and if I made it up, but no, it was real. I also want to go to check out the Tsarichina hole. Someday I will!
Can I contact you
I came to the comment section probably for the same reason why I'm seeing so much hate. This channel is my favourite channel on TH-cam, and I only stumbled upon AJ and the Why Files about a year and a bit ago. I get dissappointed when there isn't a new episode. The people that complain about comps, are probably doing so because they look that much forward to new episodes every week. AJ, the quality and detail you put into your content is phenomenal. I also come from pro broadcasting and can tell the special care you've taken in all aspects to produce such a great product. You're getting hate because you're so great, keep up the good work and I'll keep looking forward every week for my next WF fix.
They must have deleted them because all I see are positive comments.
I don't care if you take a six month leave. I'm not unsubscribing. Take care of yourself brother😊
😮
Yes agreed. Love life. Experience more. Come back with new stuff
But if you leave for 6 months come back with a vimana episode as your comeback please 😁
Ditto
Agreed!
Yes; A.J.! I just got “Turned On!” A few days ago!!! You are “TH-cam’s Best!!!!”
As others have said: I fall asleep to these compilation videos.
AJ...it means we find your voice soothing!
They are something we have already watched...theres COMFORT in the KNOWN.
best show on youtube
I'm sure I speak for most of the viewers of this channel when I say, it doesn't matter what type of episode you put out. We just need more Whyfiles.
Dude, I like the compilations.
I watch The Why Files a lot, especially when I need to relax. Your voice is soft and comforting, relaxed and relaxing.

AJ, Hecklefish, WF Team, no need to apologize for a compilation. It saves me from having to go through playlists, or follow rabbit holes.
I love it!!
Gerdy I’m sure loves it haha!
But seriously guys, since day one, WF is my favorite show. Thanks for all you do.
Gerdy loves it alright and much much more 😅
This show is the number one thing im listening to at work i listen to the old ones and the compilation so i feel like i have seen them all a few times
You know your work is good when you revisit it proudly
As a binge watcher, I love the compilations.
The Grand Canyon episode was the first Why Files episode I watched and it had me hooked. After that I’ve went down the rabbit hole and watched every episode. Rewatching some of the old live streams now. Love you guys and the channel.
Nothing wrong with taking your time!! You're videos are great!! Me and the wife watch every new one!!
WE LOVE YOU AJ!! Quit apologizing!!! Appreciate any & all content you put out! Stay well! 🫶🏼
I should say this on a more recent video , I mean if you don’t see the comment doesn’t matter tbh , but I just want to say that you have such a great way of “story telling” and you’re so easy to listen to , I very much appreciate your cotent as a curious guy who has a very hard time committing to reading , but you peak my curiosity so much more makes me actually want to get into reading and researching , open up my mind more , maybe I over sharing but anyways thank you for that , you’re amazing man.
Gotta say not only is this the best channel on TH-cam, these compilation videos are the best! Keep up the great work at YOUR PACE, we'll happily wait
I love your content 🎉
AJ, I watch a lot of channels on TH-cam, but The Why Files has consistently been my favorite. The various topics are fun and thought provoking. It’s obvious to me that you are the reason for the success. I understand your need to step away and refocus. I understand that on a personal level. I will be here when you’re ready. Best wishes ❤
Compilations are actually s good addition.. they go on as my back ground noise.. new episodes are for my chill and smoke time.. keep doing them
We know you gotta post often to keep the revenue coming in brother. We appreciate the compilations and reruns. You could even re-do old episodes with NEW sponsors and we eat it up because we love your content and how you deliver it! Your humility is appreciated and inspiring! Thank you AJ! And Hecklefish of course 😉!

Thanks AJ AND FAMILY so happy to have this channel to watch you guys are the best
Literally was just watching giants of Malta again and was so happy to see u Uploaded😊🙏🏻
