you prolly won’t see this but still- 2012 i took a year off school preparing for the exam of transferring to an art university. i was so confused and frustrated with life, the only thing i can do is keep drawing and painting. that’s when i found you on youtube. whenever i feel bad your smile makes me so happy and inspired. lately, there’s lots of shit going on with my life. i’ve been depressed for months. i cant pass a day without thinking of suicide. but with help, i’m still here. trying my best self to face every single day. long story short. seeing you getting better and BETTER by every coming video REALLY makes me feel so happy & proud. seeing you become so comfortable and genuinely happy in yourself has been beautiful journey. most of all, you giving me the strength to continue. thanks a lot connor’ keep it up. ily Xx
I hope his DMs don't get flooded with the wrong questions now trying to peer further into his privacy. I really love this man for being honest when HE feels it's right too, even though he has no obligation to share anything of the sort: please, whoever you are respect that.
man there’s not many people i can happily sit through a whole video like this from anymore, but your videos always make my day. i wanna be friends with u
i love how real this is. i feel like a lot of them time even when influencers are answering these questions/doing these videos they are still dramatizing this, and this video just feels so real and made me happy. it was refreshing to watch🤍.
Connor you have such a calm, warm, old soul energy and I love listening to you talk, feel like I'm absorbing a little bit of that energy through the screen.
born and raised in illinois. connor will always have this homie, midwestern vibe to him that I will always adore. iykyk. hard to explain; he just radiates it.
The word "cute" pops upp in my head every so often whenever I watch Connors videos. Like really, how many people out there have cute personalities without being super loud and bubbly (which is a little overwhelming to me as an introvert)? I just feel happy and at ease when watching Connor. Good vibe, mind, heart, humor and general personality.
Very real, very honest, and totally relatable. It’s no wonder you’ve stayed around. People put all sorts of things on you that say more about them than about you, but you simply tell the truth, and I admire that.
I love that this is a trend going on with the creators I entered adulthood with. None of these answers are ever unexpected or anything crazy. It's nice to know that ya'll are finally in a place where you're settled enough into yourselves where these things aren't as stressful to talk about anymore. Gives me hope that me feeling more settled into myself as an adult too isn't just some house of mirrors thing. Like, I am actually getting some (just some) of my shit together. Glad to hear you're doing well Connor! Don't forget to drink water :)
If you ever get overwhelmed with LA you should try San Diego. 1. More grounded gay scene but still alot of fun. Gayborhood called hilcrest. ALOT of hot people. 2. 2.5 hours away from LA 3. Beautiful weather. Free beach parking. Way better street parking. Cheaper rent. Less traffic. Hour away from snow. Tourist destinations close by (zoo. SeaWorld. Balboa park. Nature destinations) 4. Way nicer people than LA. 5. Great urban environment downtown 6. Great hipster/boho/culture neighborhood called North Park. 7. Respectful city towards environment 8. Easier to make friends in SD. Go visit. I personally love it.
Connor you are such a kind soul. Every time I hear or read something about your breakup, my heart still breaks up for you. Idk it's been so long but I still do. It brings back memories of things in my past and it's so relatable. I love poetry. I hope when the pandemic is over i could come to a signing tour for your next book.
I miss the times where even popular influencers and TH-camrs took their own pics and even uses Instagram filters made everyone seem more relatable and normal
I think that with numbers ( likes and views), i’m glad that you’re still you, right now there’s a lot of og TH-camrs who are attention seeking, doing crazy and over the top videos just to have the fame that they once did and it’s embarrassing and sad because they’ve strayed away from the good content that they use to make and strayed away from themselves.
I stopped watching most TH-camrs around the time you're talking about. It stopped being real, and the reality was what was beautiful about this as a platform in the first place. This year I've come back to a lot of the old faces, and it's so nice to see that what was once here seems to be returning. You always gave me peace. Much love. I'm glad you're doing better
ive been here for like ten years now i am crying connor how have you just glown up?? HE NEVER STOPS the PERSONALITY the VIDEOS the COLOURS... no i am not okay
Connor Franta. You have been a bright light in my world since I was in high school, helping me to laugh or smile on days that neither feels possible. I am SO thankful that you have found your self worth outside of numbers or what others consider "success" and that you are happy and healthy. I really look up to you and hope that I can be a bright light in my circle of influence like you are for so many.
I am _VALIDATED!!_ I had always suspected that relationship, but you know, plausible deniability. You confirming it is an odd sort of comfort. Glad to see you're still chugging along.
I used to follow Connor around 4-5-ish years ago. I recently rediscovered the channel, and can I just say, this is the most calming, down to earth, comfortable place on TH-cam. No toxicity, no hate, no drama, just warmth and happiness and cozyness. I’m glad I found my way back here, and I hope to stick around ^_^
I've been watching you for so long and in that time me, you and the community, it feels like, grew up along each other. I enjoyed your content years ago when I was a teen and I enjoy your current content as a *ahm* adult. Thanks for being a part of this wild ride
I have been watching your video before you came out and I was a high school student, I can't believe how much you have grown since then, and how much I have too. at some level, I feel like I grow with you, and I think that's the beauty of the internet, you don't know me but I definitely feel like I know you for the longest time and I just wanted to say thank you for how much clarity you bring me.
Awww he said it. He was in a relationship with another youtuber. I'm guessing he was talking about him. I was in my teens during that time and I was kinda sad after the rumor that they already broke up. Anyway I'm so happy they are still both very successful after all these years. I'm also getting there. My life is has improved since then. I'm not just a teenager who is on social media 16 hours a day. But they will always be apart of who I am. So no matter what happen between them, I will always support them no matter what.
what i’ve realized from watching many of these videos from different ytbers is that while being a yt fan years ago was fun i kinda perfer everyone being a lil more grown up and chill ☺️this is just a fun lil corner of the internet now and i love it !!
I'm so glad that among everything else that you answered, you mentioned the numbers ≠ success. Just because people don't see numbers they used to, doesn't mean that sponsors, other platforms, residuals and anything else can't also equate to the "clout and flexing what they had" like you said. And also that money isn't the purpose of having a genuine platform like you have. I've watched you for years and have so much respect for you. (I also hope to see a return of Common Culture next year btw.)
ahhh you’ve truly never seemed more contented to me and hearing you say that you are fully emotional stable, although a little lonely makes me feel very very happy for you, it gives me all the good gooey warm emotions ya know. i’ve been following u for quite some time now but i realised i never really consciously treasured the small but certain happiness i get from watching your videos and seeing you grow and all that sappy shit, so i just wanna thank u for that and say that i’m very proud of you and i hope you are too!! you may not be as ‘successful’ as you once were but to me you’ve never been a bigger source of comfort and joy and i’m so glad you’ve been staying true to yourself throughout all this time
it is genuinely so refreshing to see such an honest and open video. I loved every single second & thank you for talking about things you definitely did not need to talk about but still put it out there for all of us. Thank you for being such an incredibly role-model to me growing up all those years ago (and still being an incredible human bean)
Honestly, I rarely watch your videos, but when I do it feels very genuine and refreshing. It's nice to see positivity in this hole of millennial depression and genZ angst. Not that it matters, but to me your videos are more interesting now than "back when you were super popular", they feel more honest and healing. Hope you have a good day and take care!!
When you said “ I love you” I swear I felt the tension in my shoulders alleviate. Thank you for being a positive influence on my mental health since like 2013 haha
as someone who was into TH-cam culture and following TH-camrs closely back in the day (6-8 years ago), this is probably the first video of yours I’ve watched in years and it’s so appreciated that you’ve always remained so authentic - ty
not trying to be dramatic or anything, but this gives me the closure i never thought id get, this is a really strange feeling for me, obviously about you confirming that relationship, thanks for letting me (especially my teenager self) know
So happy you’re in a good place. What I find wild is how many of the TH-camrs I watched during “The Golden Era of TH-cam” are still uploading videos regularly. You guys could have fully pivoted but you’re still here and we’re all growing up together now. I think it’s something we take for granted a lot, especially because the platform has changed so much. We would have never expected you to, but thanks for staying
Always good to see one of your videos. I agree that success shouldn't be defined based on fame, money, or subscriber counts; it's about enjoying what you are doing and the experience along the way.
I finished your book for the 2nd time. it was so hard to get it since I'm from Portugal. Some friends send me it as a gift from the UK and I love how honest you show yourself there and that really helped me. I think you are an amazing person and thanks for being more genuine every day. It has been a pleasure to know you for almost 6 years now. I hope you still safe and happy!
I agree with social media. It all went to shit when all anyone was interested in was getting famous. Bc they used to make content bc they genuinely enjoyed it. Now people make content to be the most attention grabbing and give click bait titles just to have shit content. I’ve really enjoyed your journey Connor! I’m happy to have stuck by you through it all and I find you are way more relatable in a good way exactly who you are now.
I love how gracious you are even when answering the nosiest questions and how genuine you are instead of putting on a mask for the sake of views. You're truly a wonderful human being, Connor❤️
Ngl haven't watched your videos in a hot minute .. okay since I was like 14 so like 6yrs..(ew I'm old) but this was such a heartwarming video to come back to, glad to see you happy and thriving!!
i've the same sentiment like connor when it comes to things on social media right now thats why i love to keep mine private and close to people who mattered to me only. i used to love getting big numbers and whatnot but now i feel like everyone was chasing mora fantasies than gripping on something real and that's really sad. i love this sharing! connor always has something wise to share and i'm here all for it!
@@henrique_pais - the one question that most fans would love to know is what caused the breakup in the first place. That's one question that we'll never know the answer to unless it's answered in a future biography maybe 40 years from now!
@@showmoke i know it's kinda invasive to speculate about a relationship that had nothing to do with me but i have a few theories: - their relationship was unhealthy and TS was over it (bl*e n*ighbourhood pretty much says it all) - TS felt like he had 'outgrown' connor or felt like they weren't compatible anymore and simply fell out of love with him (his song plum) - a combination of both of the above, i think this the most plausible one - they were both insanely busy and TS was blowing up around the time they broke up in feb 2016, he had just started his world tour at that point and they just couldn't prioritise their relationship with all that going on
@@okaypearl - yes, your analysis of the situation sounds totally logical. I felt SO sorry for Connor though as it was obvious from his videos that the breakup was completely and utterly devastating for him. My view on the Jacob situation is slightly different in that I’m pretty sure that it was Jacob that left TS. Looking at T’s videos at that time showed that T was on his own for ever longer periods of time (apart from the dog). When T realised that the relationship wasn’t a thing anymore and with COVID just about to hit, T packed up his stuff and moved back to Australia with his family for a while until he got himself his own place near his parents. Again, I think the relationship just sort of fizzled out, with Jacob needing to travel a lot for his modelling work.
As someone who watched your channel grow from the beginning, it's been so nice seeing you settle into yourself. I don't watch TH-cam much anymore, but I'm glad I spent my teenage years looking up to someone who leans into change, honesty, and creating for the sake of creating. Thank you for being there, Connor.
@@florgasto Yeah but he never outright said "hey, who everyone thinks it is, it is" and now he has. But also I will never get over how obvious The Good Side was.
@@florgasto Yeah! I watched a pre-interview T did about it like a day before it was released so I knew it was about them and because I had spent so long dedicated to that ship, I literally just saw the whole string of events flash through my brain as I was listening to the song and I got really really emotional every time I listened to it for like a year.
Let's lean into how truly odd this year has been, and answer many of the
questions I always tend to avoid... kick back & have a peaceful day 🤲🏻❤️

I hope his DMs don't get flooded with the wrong questions now trying to peer further into his privacy. I really love this man for being honest when HE feels it's right too, even though he has no obligation to share anything of the sort: please, whoever you are respect that.
*Getting this out of the way now - the lighting is IMMACULATE and you look especially stunning here* 😳🥰
Ya boy is fine! Yassss! I had my best financial year since 2013 this year! Brag/Celebrate/Be Proud away!!!
Well done, Michael! ♥️
the "how are you, really" question is really all i cared about
very sweet of you
i love these little cute chill vids
man there’s not many people i can happily sit through a whole video like this from anymore, but your videos always make my day. i wanna be friends with u
"People in general give me anxiety"
Yes.
still trying to work on that... *laughs nervously*
@@ConnorFranta me too 😅
You are the only "old" youtuber I've stuck around with and I will always support you, chickpea! 🤸♀️💛
thanks for always being here 💛
@@ConnorFranta omg thank you for always being here for us too 😭💛💛
i don’t know why... but the, “thank you very much” at 8:44 just radiated julie andrew’s vibes and i love it
i love how real this is. i feel like a lot of them time even when influencers are answering these questions/doing these videos they are still dramatizing this, and this video just feels so real and made me happy. it was refreshing to watch🤍.
i'm glad you enjoyed it!
the relationship he was talking about made my heart happy, i never rooted for it at the time but just taking me back to then warmed my soul
Connor you have such a calm, warm, old soul energy and I love listening to you talk, feel like I'm absorbing a little bit of that energy through the screen.
born and raised in illinois. connor will always have this homie, midwestern vibe to him that I will always adore. iykyk. hard to explain; he just radiates it.
8 years later and i’m still here baby!
thanks for continuing to watch!! ❤️
i feel like your the human version of a golden retriever i’m obsessed
The word "cute" pops upp in my head every so often whenever I watch Connors videos. Like really, how many people out there have cute personalities without being super loud and bubbly (which is a little overwhelming to me as an introvert)? I just feel happy and at ease when watching Connor. Good vibe, mind, heart, humor and general personality.
Very real, very honest, and totally relatable. It’s no wonder you’ve stayed around. People put all sorts of things on you that say more about them than about you, but you simply tell the truth, and I admire that.
I love that this is a trend going on with the creators I entered adulthood with. None of these answers are ever unexpected or anything crazy. It's nice to know that ya'll are finally in a place where you're settled enough into yourselves where these things aren't as stressful to talk about anymore.
Gives me hope that me feeling more settled into myself as an adult too isn't just some house of mirrors thing. Like, I am actually getting some (just some) of my shit together.
Glad to hear you're doing well Connor! Don't forget to drink water :)
you’re the only person i could listen to talk for hours. if you had a podcast i would sooo listen to it, your voice is just so soothing.
If you ever get overwhelmed with LA you should try San Diego.
1. More grounded gay scene but still alot of fun. Gayborhood called hilcrest. ALOT of hot people.
2. 2.5 hours away from LA
3. Beautiful weather. Free beach parking. Way better street parking. Cheaper rent. Less traffic. Hour away from snow. Tourist destinations close by (zoo. SeaWorld. Balboa park. Nature destinations)
4. Way nicer people than LA.
5. Great urban environment downtown
6. Great hipster/boho/culture neighborhood called North Park.
7. Respectful city towards environment
8. Easier to make friends in SD.
Go visit. I personally love it.
Connor you are such a kind soul. Every time I hear or read something about your breakup, my heart still breaks up for you. Idk it's been so long but I still do. It brings back memories of things in my past and it's so relatable. I love poetry. I hope when the pandemic is over i could come to a signing tour for your next book.
Thank you for your kind sharing, it was fun and moving at the same time (no shames time either) 🤗🤗
I miss the times where even popular influencers and TH-camrs took their own pics and even uses Instagram filters made everyone seem more relatable and normal
I think that with numbers ( likes and views), i’m glad that you’re still you, right now there’s a lot of og TH-camrs who are attention seeking, doing crazy and over the top videos just to have the fame that they once did and it’s embarrassing and sad because they’ve strayed away from the good content that they use to make and strayed away from themselves.
I stopped watching most TH-camrs around the time you're talking about. It stopped being real, and the reality was what was beautiful about this as a platform in the first place. This year I've come back to a lot of the old faces, and it's so nice to see that what was once here seems to be returning. You always gave me peace. Much love. I'm glad you're doing better
HOW IS HIS SKIN SO PERFECT?? I LOOK LIKE A PIECE OF SWISS CHEESE COMPARED TO HIM
Let's hope that his face doesn't smell like swiss cheese! :)
And Swiss cheese is still amazing 😉
ive been here for like ten years now i am crying connor how have you just glown up?? HE NEVER STOPS the PERSONALITY the VIDEOS the COLOURS... no i am not okay
"i'm so excited genuinely" escalated to "that's a bit of a fckin lie"
that's me right there
Connor Franta. You have been a bright light in my world since I was in high school, helping me to laugh or smile on days that neither feels possible. I am SO thankful that you have found your self worth outside of numbers or what others consider "success" and that you are happy and healthy. I really look up to you and hope that I can be a bright light in my circle of influence like you are for so many.
When he uploads on Monday's. Anyone else having wonderful throwback feeling? Or should I say "frantastic feeling "?
ow my nostalgic heart
We all miss Frantastic Mondays :(
internet kids never sleep 😭
I am _VALIDATED!!_ I had always suspected that relationship, but you know, plausible deniability. You confirming it is an odd sort of comfort. Glad to see you're still chugging along.
this really felt like a catch up with an old friend, pure comfort. thank you connor!
I used to follow Connor around 4-5-ish years ago. I recently rediscovered the channel, and can I just say, this is the most calming, down to earth, comfortable place on TH-cam. No toxicity, no hate, no drama, just warmth and happiness and cozyness. I’m glad I found my way back here, and I hope to stick around ^_^
I've been watching you for so long and in that time me, you and the community, it feels like, grew up along each other. I enjoyed your content years ago when I was a teen and I enjoy your current content as a *ahm* adult. Thanks for being a part of this wild ride
thanks for sticking around all theses years!
I have been watching your video before you came out and I was a high school student, I can't believe how much you have grown since then, and how much I have too. at some level, I feel like I grow with you, and I think that's the beauty of the internet, you don't know me but I definitely feel like I know you for the longest time and I just wanted to say thank you for how much clarity you bring me.
Awww he said it. He was in a relationship with another youtuber. I'm guessing he was talking about him. I was in my teens during that time and I was kinda sad after the rumor that they already broke up. Anyway I'm so happy they are still both very successful after all these years. I'm also getting there. My life is has improved since then. I'm not just a teenager who is on social media 16 hours a day. But they will always be apart of who I am. So no matter what happen between them, I will always support them no matter what.
what i’ve realized from watching many of these videos from different ytbers is that while being a yt fan years ago was fun i kinda perfer everyone being a lil more grown up and chill ☺️this is just a fun lil corner of the internet now and i love it !!
I'm so glad that among everything else that you answered, you mentioned the numbers ≠ success. Just because people don't see numbers they used to, doesn't mean that sponsors, other platforms, residuals and anything else can't also equate to the "clout and flexing what they had" like you said. And also that money isn't the purpose of having a genuine platform like you have.
I've watched you for years and have so much respect for you. (I also hope to see a return of Common Culture next year btw.)
ahhh you’ve truly never seemed more contented to me and hearing you say that you are fully emotional stable, although a little lonely makes me feel very very happy for you, it gives me all the good gooey warm emotions ya know. i’ve been following u for quite some time now but i realised i never really consciously treasured the small but certain happiness i get from watching your videos and seeing you grow and all that sappy shit, so i just wanna thank u for that and say that i’m very proud of you and i hope you are too!! you may not be as ‘successful’ as you once were but to me you’ve never been a bigger source of comfort and joy and i’m so glad you’ve been staying true to yourself throughout all this time
it is genuinely so refreshing to see such an honest and open video. I loved every single second & thank you for talking about things you definitely did not need to talk about but still put it out there for all of us. Thank you for being such an incredibly role-model to me growing up all those years ago (and still being an incredible human bean)
Honestly, I rarely watch your videos, but when I do it feels very genuine and refreshing. It's nice to see positivity in this hole of millennial depression and genZ angst. Not that it matters, but to me your videos are more interesting now than "back when you were super popular", they feel more honest and healing. Hope you have a good day and take care!!
When you said “ I love you” I swear I felt the tension in my shoulders alleviate.
Thank you for being a positive influence on my mental health since like 2013 haha
as someone who was into TH-cam culture and following TH-camrs closely back in the day (6-8 years ago), this is probably the first video of yours I’ve watched in years and it’s so appreciated that you’ve always remained so authentic - ty
remember when you ended ur videos with the “dododododododododo byeeeeeeee”
some things are best kept in the past lol
OMG I REMEMBER NOW HELPSSKHF
@@ConnorFranta it was cute
Connor is my comfort person. I rarely ever use TH-cam anymore, it has been years but coming back here just calms me so much I love it.
*cooky ookie*
pls thats so cute im ASCENDING
not trying to be dramatic or anything, but this gives me the closure i never thought id get, this is a really strange feeling for me, obviously about you confirming that relationship, thanks for letting me (especially my teenager self) know
“... So naturally I had to ruin things“ 😂😂 I feel this in my ancient joints😂
So happy you’re in a good place. What I find wild is how many of the TH-camrs I watched during “The Golden Era of TH-cam” are still uploading videos regularly. You guys could have fully pivoted but you’re still here and we’re all growing up together now. I think it’s something we take for granted a lot, especially because the platform has changed so much. We would have never expected you to, but thanks for staying
Always good to see one of your videos. I agree that success shouldn't be defined based on fame, money, or subscriber counts; it's about enjoying what you are doing and the experience along the way.
I finished your book for the 2nd time. it was so hard to get it since I'm from Portugal. Some friends send me it as a gift from the UK and I love how honest you show yourself there and that really helped me. I think you are an amazing person and thanks for being more genuine every day. It has been a pleasure to know you for almost 6 years now. I hope you still safe and happy!
ohmygod all this tea is giving me early to mid 2010's war flashbacks
I agree with social media. It all went to shit when all anyone was interested in was getting famous. Bc they used to make content bc they genuinely enjoyed it. Now people make content to be the most attention grabbing and give click bait titles just to have shit content. I’ve really enjoyed your journey Connor! I’m happy to have stuck by you through it all and I find you are way more relatable in a good way exactly who you are now.
I love how gracious you are even when answering the nosiest questions and how genuine you are instead of putting on a mask for the sake of views. You're truly a wonderful human being, Connor❤️
Ngl haven't watched your videos in a hot minute .. okay since I was like 14 so like 6yrs..(ew I'm old) but this was such a heartwarming video to come back to, glad to see you happy and thriving!!
bro you have such a good community with how everyone is respecting you by not mentioning that name
i've the same sentiment like connor when it comes to things on social media right now thats why i love to keep mine private and close to people who mattered to me only. i used to love getting big numbers and whatnot but now i feel like everyone was chasing mora fantasies than gripping on something real and that's really sad. i love this sharing! connor always has something wise to share and i'm here all for it!
for a second there i felt like i was back in 2015 with all the rumours and theories about who he was dating
There's only one ex that followers seem to be interested in!
@@showmoke yup, the one that made us act like detectives
@@henrique_pais - the one question that most fans would love to know is what caused the breakup in the first place. That's one question that we'll never know the answer to unless it's answered in a future biography maybe 40 years from now!
@@showmoke i know it's kinda invasive to speculate about a relationship that had nothing to do with me but i have a few theories:
- their relationship was unhealthy and TS was over it (bl*e n*ighbourhood pretty much says it all)
- TS felt like he had 'outgrown' connor or felt like they weren't compatible anymore and simply fell out of love with him (his song plum)
- a combination of both of the above, i think this the most plausible one
- they were both insanely busy and TS was blowing up around the time they broke up in feb 2016, he had just started his world tour at that point and they just couldn't prioritise their relationship with all that going on
@@okaypearl - yes, your analysis of the situation sounds totally logical. I felt SO sorry for Connor though as it was obvious from his videos that the breakup was completely and utterly devastating for him. My view on the Jacob situation is slightly different in that I’m pretty sure that it was Jacob that left TS. Looking at T’s videos at that time showed that T was on his own for ever longer periods of time (apart from the dog). When T realised that the relationship wasn’t a thing anymore and with COVID just about to hit, T packed up his stuff and moved back to Australia with his family for a while until he got himself his own place near his parents. Again, I think the relationship just sort of fizzled out, with Jacob needing to travel a lot for his modelling work.
As someone who watched your channel grow from the beginning, it's been so nice seeing you settle into yourself. I don't watch TH-cam much anymore, but I'm glad I spent my teenage years looking up to someone who leans into change, honesty, and creating for the sake of creating. Thank you for being there, Connor.
not him basically confirming a very popular ship👀
tr0nn3r😳 cause like they’ve never had a video with JUST them two. There’s always been another person
He kinda confirmed it in the past in his book tho, and then The Good Side aswell.
@@florgasto Yeah but he never outright said "hey, who everyone thinks it is, it is" and now he has. But also I will never get over how obvious The Good Side was.
@@GabbingandWoolgathering same! Cried my heart out to it a lot lol
@@florgasto Yeah! I watched a pre-interview T did about it like a day before it was released so I knew it was about them and because I had spent so long dedicated to that ship, I literally just saw the whole string of events flash through my brain as I was listening to the song and I got really really emotional every time I listened to it for like a year.
your character development is just... *chef's kiss* i'm super happy to know that you're happy
love that you value your privacy, respect that massively
