    This made me tear up. It’s cool to see that you were happy at Vat19 (I was worried it was gonna be similar to the Buzzfeed sitch), and that you decided to carve your own path, and pursue your passion. It’s really rad to see. Kudos, my dude.

    In my opinion, someone who made such a huge part of vat.19 you didn’t quit or leave. You retired! You left the amazing legacy of your creative! You have inspired others (me for example). And for that I say you didn’t quite or leave. You and Danny retired! And the fact that you made the choice to be with your kids is amazing! So many people choose work over the young years of their kids life! I hope that your kids enjoy your creative as much as we did and still do!

To me that’s just such an amazing thing to do and you are truly a good dad! I will miss you at Vat19.. But I can’t wait to see what you do next on Randomonium ❤️

    This feels.... something I couldn't explain... And pls let me explain. I feel like I've grown up with Vat19 with Jon in it. 7 years ago I was stumbled upon a quirky commercial video of a polymer-sand toy. That is from Vat19, and then I binge-watched "commercials" from that channel. At that time TH-cam is one of my dream to do, and you guys are one of the channels that made me break out from my comfort zone and start doing videos, which I failed and delete the channel (I was young and foolish.... trust me). Then back to watching channels that inspired me, which Vat19 is one of them. This makes me re-ignite my TH-cam passion and start my channel again, later it has been around 3 years as a small channel in Thailand which never seems gonna grow to touch the rim of silver play button, and my failure feelings kicks in again. That was the time you guys quit Vat19 and start Randomonium. Which amaze me as you guys has to work really hard, more than I could imagine. Also re-ignite my TH-cam passion, again. And now, watching this video looking back to your journey makes me look back to my journey and memories watching your videos too.
    Everyone has their own journey, some of them are inspirational. Just want to tell you that yours are one of 'em. Thank you for inspire me and, I believe there are, a lot of people that look up to you too as their role-model. And congrats on the silver play button, even better with your own "customized" plaque (SO ADORABLE!).

      Thanks for sharing your story! Being a video creator is deceivingly tough because of how glamorous and easy many people make it seem. But try and focus on your craft itself - not the “glamorous” parts like views and subscriber numbers. Make a video. Make another one. Keep going. Watch tutorials and learn as much as you can. Collaborate with friends. If you’re enjoying it, you won’t be worrying about “success”. If you ever want me to give you feedback on something you made, hit me up on social media. I’m rooting for you. 👊🏻

    I would love to win the silver play button, but it wouldn’t feel right displaying someone else’s hard work. Good luck to everyone else though!😊

    Jon, you and Danny and Vat19 have been a huge part of my childhood! The videos you have created on this platform has been there for me during my highs and lows! and I’m so happy for all of the accomplishments! Thank you

    Just a small comment: I wanted to let you, Randomonium know that I love the style of this video. Other videos from other creators make me want to watch the first 30 seconds or so or when there's and ad. But the style of this video made me want to watch the whole video including with the ad. Great video and video style :)

    I loved every minute of this video! The storytelling was phenomenal...as expected. I loved seeing some of the BTS. I never knew you had a personal channel! I feel like I've missed out! lol I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you guys when we toured Vat19 a couple of years ago. I have been enjoying this channel so much!! And the ending....I love that new one your kids made!

    Dude. This has inspired me to do what I want to do, and to never let anything stop me. I too want to work in the video filming industry and all this has inspired me. I hope I do win that play button giveaway because trust me, what’s better than having something from the person who has inspired me to fulfil my passion?

    Thanks for posting your story and part of your creative journey. I introduced my son to Randomonium recently. He is a college freshman majoring in Media Communication with a concentration in Film Production. We love your creativity and your teachable moments. Bravo to both you and Danny for stepping out in faith and putting your families first. Wishing you much success!

    We should respect Jon for knowing that it's not looks that count, like the TH-cam play button, but the thought from something, like the note from his kids. The note made my day.

    It was really great and awesome to get an explanation why you left Vat19 so suddenly and I can totally agree with your choice being the hardest but most important. Its sad to see you, Danny, Joey and all the other guys that has left is now gone cause I tell ya I dont feel like Vat19 is the same without you guys.

    This video was beautiful, just beautiful. An incredible story about two legends, just trying to entertain people and make them happy. Now that’s the real treasure. I would say more about the impact you tw- three gave us but I don’t want this comment to be too long. Needless to say, it’d be pretty cool having that play button, but we’ve already got something better.
