At the time of this video I was still on the fence. Recently I made a decision. I made this tweet about it. I will still make DBD content but it will be far less frequent. I will finish the Killer analysis videos, give my viewpoints on future patches but my content will be much more diversified x.com/TH-camBard/status/1837341819580920197
Kaiser as a fellow depression sufferer I gotta tell you that I hear you. One comment is all it can take to derail my entire day. I understand I can't help the pain stop, but i want you to know that your not alone in your suffering. Dbd was a game I got into right before sadako. During the 6 year anniversary I began to run my now p100 freddy in literal friendly killer matches and nothing else because the people were so hostile and toxic I wanted to boost the positivity one match at a time, and it felt really good to do. Now 3 years later, I find myself not even enjoying that as much anymore because people are being so aggressive and dedicated to the toxicity. It's honestly amazing how badly people in this community want to be angry, toxic and hostile despite you being nice to them in conversation or a game where in every other match they'll play in thier day will be exactly the opposite of what I'm bringing to the match. Fans of dbd are dbds own worst enemy. Do what you gotta do, and if the dbd is getting too much to handle, let us know because we'll always be here to support you every way we can. I HATE that your trapped by dbd content but I'll stick with you now and until your content outside dbd is just as popular. Enjoy the gaming kaiser, because whatever games you have fun with, we will enjoy with you too. ❤
I have taken a break from DBD for a multitude of reasons, but two of the biggest reasons is that of the absolute vitriolic animosity the community has for not only each other but the game itself, and the fact I was recently doxxed when playing the game. I don't know what it is about the people who play this game, but some of them take things outside of trash talking or criticism, and bring real world dangers to other people... over a fucking video game. It wears down on you even if it does not happen all the time. When it does happen, it sticks with you more than any fun you could have with the game.
Shit is absolutely ridiculous. Insane that people have so little going in their life that they’re seriously trying to reach people outside of a match because of perks they used, character, add ons, etc
There was someone from the DbD community who I had never met before in my life who actively stalked me for a while, hit up all my friends on Discord, found and leaked a private account I had that I used strictly for CPTSD forum posting to talk about my goddamn childhood trauma, and they messaged me there with anonymous accounts saying awful sh*t to me and it put me in the hospital. It was terrifying to me and I had a crippling mental breakdown. I cut all my social medias, deleted my forums and Discord, and I've been staying away from people. People are actually awful. Over a goddamn video game they will actively torment other people and I will never be able to fully understand it.
Id recommend joining a gym or going for a walk 3 times a week. I have a pretty bad drinking problem which makes me depressed. But i joined a gym/ been walking alot/ eating better. And I feel so much happier/ barely been drinking. Started watching your videos last night and i think your very entertaining. Keep up the good work mate. On whatever makes you happy
You don’t need to dramatically “quit” or “take a break”, just do what you want to do. As a financial decision, that’s on you and only you. You know the risks of your business better than everyone else. It’s your life do whatever you want with it.
As a viewer I unfortunately had to stop watching your content on a regular basis. Generally it’s good content. Just the negativity got too much for me to stomach. No I’m not saying every video you made was negative. What I’m saying is that when you did have negative videos they were viscerally negative. I get not liking stuff and being frustrated about things. Though as of late those videos weren’t nuanced they were just rage. I respect you as a content creator and I think you do make good content. I’m sorry that DBD is so hard on you to be a creator of. I wish you the best luck in your future endeavors. Being able to not only rely on DBD could help with such a reaction towards stuff within it. I hope these days come sooner than later and that life gets easier as well.
Dude after hearing this, i will 100% support you throughout every bit of content you make. I could not imagine playing Dead By Daylight for a job, itd drive me insane. I wish the best of luck for future content you make man
I like how you express how you truly feel instead of just hiding it and having it become anger never feel as if nobody cares about you people do care about 6 thousand people do and your family does as well do whatever you want with your channel and I’ll continue to tune in
DBD has become kinda miserable with how frequently people complain and especially survivors who dc/go next for nothing. I don't even think the game is in a bad state rn but the community certainly is. Your content is always wonderful, I hope you don't let the rest of the community drag you down with it.
Here are the reasons i watch your channel: - i find the comedic humor you sprinkle into the video occasionally funny - you have a good way of formulating and explaining your opinions - you have a habit of calling (bhvr) people out when they do something wrong but also praise them when they do something right. That nuance is rare in the dbd yt space - this is more of a macabre thing but i find the rage moments also funny.
I've been depressed almost all my life. Chronic depression, never goes away. I feel you, just know that there are people who care about you The start really got to me. I'm weeping. Kaiser, I don't care that you're fat, I don't care that you're not handsome. Even though I despise videos where you scream too much I don't want you to feel so bad. Don't do anything stupid. You know what I mean
I can relate on the feeling of being trapped on making content on one game. In my case i ultimately made the hard decision of moving on for the sake of my happiness over my growth/money i built over the years on twitch. I understand in your case its not as simple as moving on but i'd argue that youre mental state is far more important than what you've built over time. I'd take steps to try to pace yourself a little better on not burning yourself out and not put yourself in a mental spiral over dbd. Whatever ends up happening i really do wish the best for you dude. Stay strong
The part about the current job market and rent hit hard. Being able to make any amount of money at all over content creation is amazing because of how awful the market is right now. Nobody is hiring, nobody is paying, rent is high. It's good to know this is able to work for you. Godspeed Bard ❤
im sorry the game and making content for it has been so stressful for you. honestly, your content brought me back to dead by daylight and it sucks to see you go, but im glad that youre prioritizing your mental health over making videos about the funny horror game. i hope things go well for you and im excited to see what content you branch out into as i think you bring an entirely unique perspective to every subject youve covered. i hope things start turning around for you.
I mean no offense by this, but back when you were doing tier lists and were receiving so much hate and backlash, I kinda figured this would be an inevitability. The game's culture is so remarkably toxic and I think it's easy to back yourself into a corner with a sunk cost mentality so you feel like you need to keep playing it. I think that's why I played it and league of legends for so long, and I don't even have the monetary necessity of the game's content hanging over my head like you do. I've said it in stream, I've said it in discord, I'll say it here. I don't give half a shit what you do or what you stream or what you play, so long as you keep being Kaiser. I'm just one dude, but I'll be supporting you as long as you'll have me.
Majority of people are here for you Kaiser you are what makes the content the content we love we’re gonna support you wherever you go in gaming! Negative content will always do better then positive content that’s just how the internet works I’m not gonna sit here and say I don’t enjoy your negative content about DBD I love to listen to it because you bring up valid frustrating points about this game that we can’t voice because we don’t have a platform to do so but if you truly do want to step away from DBD or just slow down with it then by all means do it it’s your channel it’s your life the true fans will always support your decisions
I really sympathize with you. Right now I am a college student and I am also autistic (luckily my adhd is medicated). Getting through school is hard and I’d like to find a job but it’s difficult. I really wish you luck with everything
now a days i tend to just dc if something frustrates me. i know its pretty pathetic but it stops me from getting TOO tilted since the dc penalty stops me from hurting myself by playing further
I feel you kaiser I need to take breaks from dbd because it gets too stressful especially once you’ve played enough to get to high mmr/mmr cap where you have to micro manage and the tiny 1% mistakes that can snowball into a full on loss with 0 sacrifices/escapes and lord the community is a hellscape where of you play the wrong character you get flamed and insulted (this is also a reason I don’t enjoy dbd too much because I want to play some killers but worry how others will feel going against them) or if you play a certain way on purpose or not your a horrible teammate or toxic camping tunneller and get called horrible things.The discourse around this game is horrible too no one wants to adapt what they think or maybe admit they’re wrong and always think their side is in the right and it always becomes a contest of who has the worse problem like “this perk is strong on killer” “well this perk is strong on survivor”. All that to say i completely understand how you feel and to me you’re a really good content creator even if I may not agree on everything you say you’re still enjoyable to watch and get me to think about my own thoughts on dbd and I hope you can still find fun in dbd content and it’s creation
Videos like this are why I personally began to like your content. I can understand the feeling of being trapped or just feeling a state of mental that isn't the best. I am in a rough mental spot myself and your content genuinely brightens up my day. If/once you do quit Dbd, I will be sticking around. I found you through the game, and at first only followed you for it, but I now enjoy any and all content you make. I know in time, your content will grow more towards the variety and you will get to do what you want without feeling stuck between a boulder and a wall, I do wish you the best in this journey ^^
I’m seriously considering taking a year long break from the game starting after the Halloween event. It probably should be sooner considering all the BS changes to the mori system that are coming soon, but I digress. The game becomes more and more of a cesspit as time goes on because DbD players, no matter what side they play, are just never happy with anything, and its becoming a bigger and more noticeable problem now with all the people that have been DCing lately. I’m getting sick of dealing with it.
I can relate to a lot of what you've said. I have ADHD, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia and CPTSD - plus a slew of physical health problems. I totally get where you're coming from - especially on jobs outside of content creation. I'm so lucky I have the job I do have - cause it's probably the only one I can maintain, even though I don't earn enough to live on my own. I also understand how awful the community can be - as I've dealt with minor hate. I'm kinda glad I don't do facecam. I do wish content creation - whether it was youtube or my art, was more viable for me as a second source of income. I like your content. It doesn't matter to me if you're telling stories or what game you're talking about. I'd probably stick around regardless. I do wish you the best of luck, no matter where your future takes you. :)
I support you no matter what you play or make videos about. I love the witty scripted content and the no scripted. You're a damn good content creator ❤
Kaiser, I'm just some random dude from the internet, but I don't think you should quit. This cumminity needs dudes like you. Whether your making content or just playing, this gane is too cool and too fun to just say "Never again am I going to play". Stay rad bro
Honestly Dead by Daylight is a game that's best enjoyed like a Plasma Rifle from Aliens: short, controlled bursts. When i game, i play a session or two of dbd, then switch out to another game, and vice versa. The game doesnt offer enough to play at a committed several-hour period without burning people out. If its affecting your enjoyment of this game, please don't let it kill your love it. Take a break and breathe, commit to another game for a bit, and the DbD community youve cultivated will welcome you back with open arms.
All I can say is that I wish the best for you, DBD is a fun game, the community not so much, just know we appreciate what you do. At some point we all know your content will diversify, so just keep the grind up and you’ll make it.
I just recently found your channel and I'm gonna stick around regardless of what you do i hope life gets better even if just a little you should do what makes you happy thats what content creation is about and I'll make sure im there to tune in
I feel for ya man. Its hard playing the game 24/7 without losing some sanity and delving into depression. The absolute hate people get for just playing the game is nightmarish and messed up
Taking a break from this game now is probably the best idea, its currently, atleast in my opinion, in the worst state it has ever been, i understand as a CC theres more to it, but from just a normal player, im not even surprised when my friends and others decide to quit and take long-term break from the game in its current state
I've taken a break from dbd bc of the community and how the game has been taken from a casual team game to sweat lord central. I'm currently dealing with some depression and social anxiety that I feel the only source of social interaction I can handle is ppl I dm and who I live with. I tried to stream dbd and realized that I just wasn't having fun like I use to and it's been hard to deal with the toxicity of the community. I've met so many wonderful ppl on dbd but I've met alot of bad ppl too. I watch ur videos for both entertainment and to improve my skills but I do enjoy ur other content. The borderlands video almost made me install and play the game again just for nostalgia and I really enjoyed ur analysis on it. I wish u luck for all ur future ventures whether they r dbd related or not
You're not an annoying person at all to me I've been watching almost all of your videos for a few months and I think your personality is awesome and I love your humour, I can relate to a lof of what you say sometimes🙁
You’re overthinking and over-justifying. Don’t be ashamed of yourself, just be honest and you’ll feel more comfortable doing what you want to do. Easier said than done, I know, but as a person who‘a been surviving with depression for decades, it DOES get better. The best thing you can do is choose to take your power back and stop giving a F. Suddenly, it’ll feel like you just took off a heavy backpack and now you can fly. TL;DR Be true to yourself and pour yourself into your passions. If you keep going and ignore that hate, you’ll go far.
As much as I wish you to stay, I can understand the sentiments this game can cause & the ruinners that infest this community. As you noted at 6:12, negative content does get more views, which is scary, given how widely cynical content is consumed nowadays. Yet, Ironically, the individuals who say these negative things to tear you down are self-reporting, from the content they watch to how they act to someone with a different opinion. Ruinners will try to tear down anything they deem "justified" in their eyes, even tear themselves down with you with no care of harming others or themselves in the process. No matter what, Kaiser, we are here not because of the game you are playing but because you are entertaining and humorous.
Toxicity and just how the devs poorly handle seemily everything is a big part of my falling out with the game and why I still dont come back. Hell at this point you are the only source of info I have for this game now so whatever you choose I'll just say I will support how I can.
I played every day for years but lately i feel burnt out and since 2v8 i only played during modifiers - so lights out and now chaos shuffle. It really helped but atm the normal game is just not fun anymore for me 🙈 at least atm. And i play on console, i don't even have the endgame chat and all the negativity that comes with that 😅 Never play anything if its not fun - easier said than done when its your income. All thats going on in the dbd community can be tough, if its too much take a break. Better taking a step back than getting pushed to the edge. Those people and the comments get through you, thats normal. They shouldn't but like you said, its hard especially if you are already mentally affected. I really like your content and i would watch content about other games too. Don't feel pressured to just stick to dbd, maybe start with introducing other stuff and see how it goes is a good idea. So, something personal - you are not everyones cup of tea but thats a good thing. You remind me a lot of my best friend who died two years ago. He couldn't go on with his illnesses and all he had to endure every day. Comments, words can be weapons - if your mental health is affected by this, please take the step away you need to stay as stable as possible. I have severe depression and ptsd, i feel your job situation. I really hope you can keep on with videos and streaming and that the variety content helps with that. Taking care of yourself is so important.
I quit this game I'm depressed I try my hardest to live the game as a huge horror fan but it's the player base it's more negative than toxic I get shit off survivors on my own team because I was the solo player put with a three man sec then there's killers who just want you out the game so fast so you can't play then get shit in end game I legit felt so low because of f this game and no game should do that to someone so I totally resonate with this vid
I took a lengthy break from this game where i would only play once in a blue moon and now i play more regularly not every day and it's refreshing kinda
At 5:40, you mention negative affirmations having more of an effect than positive ones and I cannot agree with this more. I have convinced myself that any time someone is nice to me, they are just being polite, pitying me, or making fun of me in a way I don't really understand.
I’m so glad I tremendously slowed down playing this game because this game seriously drains me from the community telling me to go hurt myself and saying the most ruthless shit you can say to another human over a fucking video game because DBD was hurting my mental health because of the people that play it
Then crawl back to the game a few months later. Like every other game we have poured time into games are made to be addictive. And we have all fallen for it
My honest advice is stop uploading every day, have some variety still come to dead by daylight just less frequently, and I have been depressed before and if I remember right you don't really have a sleep schedule so maybe try and sort out a sleep schedule and maybe go on a walk every couple of days idk if you do that or not but when I started doing stuff like that more I started feeling better, good luck with whatever you do next
Please 🙏 Kaiser I'm begging you to go to therapy. I honestly think quitting dbd isn't going to help you. Many of us love you but you can't see that until you can learn to love yourself.
I wanna start by saying first and foremost do what will make you happy but always be smart about it. Unfortunately negativity will draw more conversation and engagement because people are more willing to speak to something they disagree with than something they do. YTs algorithm caters to engagement so comments and likes tend fuel views. Granted that’s pretty well known. I personally enjoy your dbd content the most and really like the conversation by daylight series. Granted I could see why they aren’t always as popular as a “this patch bad” video and with as polarized as this community is to begin with it makes more sense unfortunately. That all being said i as an audience member want you to stick to dbd but me as a person only want that if you can be happy with it. Maybe being happy with it might mean finding the balance of video that do well and the videos you make but i understand as someone who’s both autistic and have ADHD (medicated starting yesterday) that you simply can’t do what you don’t wanna do unless you absolutely drag it out. Hell sometimes i can’t even do the things i wanna do 😂. However you plan on taking your content i do hope the best for you and hope life goes well for you. As far as anyone else reading this comment i encourage you to comment positively here and elsewhere especially if you are tired of negativity because sometimes change starts with you. If not change in the system then possibly a change for the creators mood or motivation. Anyways, back to lurking and wish you all love
You're a funny, talented, and lovable guy Kaiser, You'll grow enough to not have to work at the company store soon enough. Shoutout to our lord and savior deadlock.
This is how i feel with all the multiplayer games i play. Overwatch people complain and bitch no matter what you do and its the same with dbd im too old and tired to deal with people yelling at me constantly.
if you wanna quit dbd, i’ll still watch whatever you have to offer, if i just wanted to watch a dbd youtuber i would’ve watched one of the hundred other ones
If you plan on finding a new game I recommend playing Star wars battlefront 2. Yet, it could be toxic sometimes but not as toxic as dbd and it's really fun; either way I wish the best for you.
If you're really strapped for cash, and the applications aren't coming back. You should try to obtain a CDL. There's potentially grants or scholarships out there which you can take for it as well. I know that this is a leap from your current life, but I think that depending on how much Dead by Daylight makes, it might be your quickest route into a more stable, better career. You do also have to be substance free with this. I am not saying this to imply you do anything, but just a heads up. It's a federal license, so even if your state may allow you to use Marijuana or any other substance legal in your state, it's still federally not legally, so you can get in trouble if you use it, even a prescription (would be really awkward if after all of this you're canadian, don't actually know) still I'd say there to try trucking anyway, but my advice is a bit different
Just as a thought but perhaps try other, similar games to see if you like those as well. I’d be interested to hear a podcast or other videos where you show or discuss other gaming content 😊
i came for the dbd content and opinions but i will stay for you as a person. you have an inciteful mind and an enjoyable personality. ill watch whatever content you push out if the game is relevant to me. best wishes.
I don’t even play dbd and you always make my day better with your videos. It’s also nice to see another non binary creator that I could watch ❤ You’re an amazing person, Kaiser.
I wish the best for you Kaiser, I have enjoyed your dbd content and I always look forward to watching them but I hope you get your opening to cut back that you want cause your mental health matters
if you're on surivior game is play is just dying and not being able to have fun because hearing problems then yeah because killer is pretty easy but you wait longer. since cant enjoy one side of game that is much faster to do then might as well move on.
i feel really sad for you i dont think you are annoying kaiser dbd sometimes doing things that pissing you off and its ok we are a divided community and its really sad that you need to do something that makes you missrable but it is the only thing that holds your life i hope that you will one day be succesful like the others kaiser it was really sad to hear that struggle you have
Tbh I don't know if you can quit, lmao. You came back last time. This isn't an insult it's just DBD seems like a comfort game for you despite the stress
If you quit then I'll be sad your not annoying your funny I love waiting for your videos because they bring me a d alot of people joy please don't let some low life's get you down
I don’t really see the streams anymore but I’m always lurking on the tube but I hope you get out of the spot you’re in and can upload whatever you want and comfortably
When your passion becomes a cage. I've seen mine craft youtubers and league of legends players fall into the same pit of "I'm miserable playing or talking about this game, but if I don't I can't make rent." Shit sucks. Can't take a break, can't stop, just gotta keep going. I just wish people would stop being annoying cunts over this fucking game. Oh no you lost, big whoop. Que up again and run it back.
I would say quit it your feeling a lot more stressed and it shows in your voice. I wish I could play this game every day for a career I genuinely love it and don't see my self ever stopping for 4000+ hrs in only 2 yrs I still feel like I'm learning new things everyday but I know I'm the exception. I also know your stressed and need a different outlet for your creativity.
Im gone back to playing fallout 76, the community is really nice to its fellow community members. The game has grown and really good. I just deleted DBD off my console.DBD isn't worth it for me anymore. I hope to see u in the wastelands.
@@Stranzua well they have snap boxes and almost boxes that should help. Ammo is treated a scrap in a scrap box. And th3 game has change since I've left. You can learn how to make Legendary effects, we are allow to use explosives on lasser weapons. They have lots of npc's to talk too. Lots different stories and Missions. And in the future you can turn into a ghoul as a new future coming next yr
Whilst I’d admit you wouldn’t be the first person I’d watch (mainly because I already have my set TH-camrs I like to watch) no one deserves hate, doesn’t matter what you do, how you play, what character you play, whatever. Hate only makes the hater in the wrong. I’ve mailed SM for maybe 3-4 months now and whilst it probably doesn’t compare to insults towards your personal being I’ve seen some of the worst this community has to offer. And to be honest yea the DBD community is terrible for it. I’ve played DRG (Deep Rock Galactic) and met some of the most chill people after making some of the easiest of mistakes and never had anyone get truly despicable with me. Does that mean you should stop playing DBD and stop making content on it? Fuck no. You have a right to do and play whatever you have passion over. In any case, sorry if my rambling makes no sense, do what feels best for you. But it would be a damn shame to see you go. ❤
I cant believe I'm saying this but dbd is 1,000% more toxic as a community then league of legends, like people go fuckin nuts over the dumbest things, and like you said harassment and threats etc. its just really pathetic tbh. idk what is wrong with ppl in this game.
I've been disagreeing with nearly all of your dbd takes and at times I've probably been anoyed and left angry comments but still I keep watching videos because I think they're entertaining.

@@KaiserDaGaemer Hey Kaiser! You may not see this but I am praying for you. Have you ever asked Jesus for help? He has helped me all my life.
Kaiser as a fellow depression sufferer I gotta tell you that I hear you. One comment is all it can take to derail my entire day.
I understand I can't help the pain stop, but i want you to know that your not alone in your suffering.
Dbd was a game I got into right before sadako.
During the 6 year anniversary I began to run my now p100 freddy in literal friendly killer matches and nothing else because the people were so hostile and toxic I wanted to boost the positivity one match at a time, and it felt really good to do.
Now 3 years later, I find myself not even enjoying that as much anymore because people are being so aggressive and dedicated to the toxicity.
It's honestly amazing how badly people in this community want to be angry, toxic and hostile despite you being nice to them in conversation or a game where in every other match they'll play in thier day will be exactly the opposite of what I'm bringing to the match.
Fans of dbd are dbds own worst enemy.
Do what you gotta do, and if the dbd is getting too much to handle, let us know because we'll always be here to support you every way we can.
I HATE that your trapped by dbd content but I'll stick with you now and until your content outside dbd is just as popular.
Enjoy the gaming kaiser, because whatever games you have fun with, we will enjoy with you too. ❤
I have taken a break from DBD for a multitude of reasons, but two of the biggest reasons is that of the absolute vitriolic animosity the community has for not only each other but the game itself, and the fact I was recently doxxed when playing the game. I don't know what it is about the people who play this game, but some of them take things outside of trash talking or criticism, and bring real world dangers to other people... over a fucking video game. It wears down on you even if it does not happen all the time. When it does happen, it sticks with you more than any fun you could have with the game.
Shit is absolutely ridiculous. Insane that people have so little going in their life that they’re seriously trying to reach people outside of a match because of perks they used, character, add ons, etc
There was someone from the DbD community who I had never met before in my life who actively stalked me for a while, hit up all my friends on Discord, found and leaked a private account I had that I used strictly for CPTSD forum posting to talk about my goddamn childhood trauma, and they messaged me there with anonymous accounts saying awful sh*t to me and it put me in the hospital. It was terrifying to me and I had a crippling mental breakdown. I cut all my social medias, deleted my forums and Discord, and I've been staying away from people. People are actually awful. Over a goddamn video game they will actively torment other people and I will never be able to fully understand it.
Id recommend joining a gym or going for a walk 3 times a week. I have a pretty bad drinking problem which makes me depressed. But i joined a gym/ been walking alot/ eating better. And I feel so much happier/ barely been drinking.
Started watching your videos last night and i think your very entertaining. Keep up the good work mate. On whatever makes you happy
Its nice hearing someone be fully real about this stuff, helps keep your community respectful of you
You don’t need to dramatically “quit” or “take a break”, just do what you want to do. As a financial decision, that’s on you and only you. You know the risks of your business better than everyone else. It’s your life do whatever you want with it.
Damn, rough position to be in, depression is such bs..... been dealing with it as well for years. I hope things work out for you.
As a viewer I unfortunately had to stop watching your content on a regular basis. Generally it’s good content. Just the negativity got too much for me to stomach. No I’m not saying every video you made was negative.
What I’m saying is that when you did have negative videos they were viscerally negative. I get not liking stuff and being frustrated about things. Though as of late those videos weren’t nuanced they were just rage.
I respect you as a content creator and I think you do make good content. I’m sorry that DBD is so hard on you to be a creator of. I wish you the best luck in your future endeavors. Being able to not only rely on DBD could help with such a reaction towards stuff within it.
I hope these days come sooner than later and that life gets easier as well.
Sunk cost fallacy for dbd is real
Way too true
@@Al_The_mediocre I keep playing and don't enjoy it anymore. Yet I never stop LMAO
Dude after hearing this, i will 100% support you throughout every bit of content you make. I could not imagine playing Dead By Daylight for a job, itd drive me insane. I wish the best of luck for future content you make man
I like how you express how you truly feel instead of just hiding it and having it become anger never feel as if nobody cares about you people do care about 6 thousand people do and your family does as well do whatever you want with your channel and I’ll continue to tune in
DBD has become kinda miserable with how frequently people complain and especially survivors who dc/go next for nothing. I don't even think the game is in a bad state rn but the community certainly is. Your content is always wonderful, I hope you don't let the rest of the community drag you down with it.
Here are the reasons i watch your channel:
- i find the comedic humor you sprinkle into the video occasionally funny
- you have a good way of formulating and explaining your opinions
- you have a habit of calling (bhvr) people out when they do something wrong but also praise them when they do something right. That nuance is rare in the dbd yt space
- this is more of a macabre thing but i find the rage moments also funny.
^^^
this. Yes the DBD stuff in general is fun but your personality is why I like your vids.
Just become a survivor main.. life is better on this side
I've been depressed almost all my life. Chronic depression, never goes away.
I feel you, just know that there are people who care about you
The start really got to me. I'm weeping. Kaiser, I don't care that you're fat, I don't care that you're not handsome. Even though I despise videos where you scream too much I don't want you to feel so bad. Don't do anything stupid. You know what I mean
I can relate on the feeling of being trapped on making content on one game. In my case i ultimately made the hard decision of moving on for the sake of my happiness over my growth/money i built over the years on twitch. I understand in your case its not as simple as moving on but i'd argue that youre mental state is far more important than what you've built over time. I'd take steps to try to pace yourself a little better on not burning yourself out and not put yourself in a mental spiral over dbd. Whatever ends up happening i really do wish the best for you dude. Stay strong
The part about the current job market and rent hit hard. Being able to make any amount of money at all over content creation is amazing because of how awful the market is right now. Nobody is hiring, nobody is paying, rent is high. It's good to know this is able to work for you. Godspeed Bard ❤
im sorry the game and making content for it has been so stressful for you. honestly, your content brought me back to dead by daylight and it sucks to see you go, but im glad that youre prioritizing your mental health over making videos about the funny horror game. i hope things go well for you and im excited to see what content you branch out into as i think you bring an entirely unique perspective to every subject youve covered. i hope things start turning around for you.
I mean no offense by this, but back when you were doing tier lists and were receiving so much hate and backlash, I kinda figured this would be an inevitability. The game's culture is so remarkably toxic and I think it's easy to back yourself into a corner with a sunk cost mentality so you feel like you need to keep playing it. I think that's why I played it and league of legends for so long, and I don't even have the monetary necessity of the game's content hanging over my head like you do. I've said it in stream, I've said it in discord, I'll say it here. I don't give half a shit what you do or what you stream or what you play, so long as you keep being Kaiser. I'm just one dude, but I'll be supporting you as long as you'll have me.
Take care, and thank you for saying what grownup/ baby's don't want hear and grow up to be an actual adult
Majority of people are here for you Kaiser you are what makes the content the content we love we’re gonna support you wherever you go in gaming! Negative content will always do better then positive content that’s just how the internet works I’m not gonna sit here and say I don’t enjoy your negative content about DBD I love to listen to it because you bring up valid frustrating points about this game that we can’t voice because we don’t have a platform to do so but if you truly do want to step away from DBD or just slow down with it then by all means do it it’s your channel it’s your life the true fans will always support your decisions
I really sympathize with you. Right now I am a college student and I am also autistic (luckily my adhd is medicated). Getting through school is hard and I’d like to find a job but it’s difficult. I really wish you luck with everything
now a days i tend to just dc if something frustrates me. i know its pretty pathetic but it stops me from getting TOO tilted since the dc penalty stops me from hurting myself by playing further
I feel you kaiser I need to take breaks from dbd because it gets too stressful especially once you’ve played enough to get to high mmr/mmr cap where you have to micro manage and the tiny 1% mistakes that can snowball into a full on loss with 0 sacrifices/escapes and lord the community is a hellscape where of you play the wrong character you get flamed and insulted (this is also a reason I don’t enjoy dbd too much because I want to play some killers but worry how others will feel going against them) or if you play a certain way on purpose or not your a horrible teammate or toxic camping tunneller and get called horrible things.The discourse around this game is horrible too no one wants to adapt what they think or maybe admit they’re wrong and always think their side is in the right and it always becomes a contest of who has the worse problem like “this perk is strong on killer” “well this perk is strong on survivor”. All that to say i completely understand how you feel and to me you’re a really good content creator even if I may not agree on everything you say you’re still enjoyable to watch and get me to think about my own thoughts on dbd and I hope you can still find fun in dbd content and it’s creation
Videos like this are why I personally began to like your content. I can understand the feeling of being trapped or just feeling a state of mental that isn't the best. I am in a rough mental spot myself and your content genuinely brightens up my day. If/once you do quit Dbd, I will be sticking around. I found you through the game, and at first only followed you for it, but I now enjoy any and all content you make. I know in time, your content will grow more towards the variety and you will get to do what you want without feeling stuck between a boulder and a wall, I do wish you the best in this journey ^^
You’ll come back if you do. We all come back eventually.
I’m seriously considering taking a year long break from the game starting after the Halloween event. It probably should be sooner considering all the BS changes to the mori system that are coming soon, but I digress. The game becomes more and more of a cesspit as time goes on because DbD players, no matter what side they play, are just never happy with anything, and its becoming a bigger and more noticeable problem now with all the people that have been DCing lately. I’m getting sick of dealing with it.
I can relate to a lot of what you've said. I have ADHD, Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia and CPTSD - plus a slew of physical health problems. I totally get where you're coming from - especially on jobs outside of content creation. I'm so lucky I have the job I do have - cause it's probably the only one I can maintain, even though I don't earn enough to live on my own. I also understand how awful the community can be - as I've dealt with minor hate. I'm kinda glad I don't do facecam. I do wish content creation - whether it was youtube or my art, was more viable for me as a second source of income.
I like your content. It doesn't matter to me if you're telling stories or what game you're talking about. I'd probably stick around regardless. I do wish you the best of luck, no matter where your future takes you. :)
warframe is calling brother I hope you find a game you enjoy and don't feel as strained -NutZ
YES!, if you have the chance to escape this horrific hellhole of a game TAKE IT!
Hey kaiser. Wishing you the best. Burn out and depression can be a real bitch combo. I hope things get better ❤
"If it's not fun, why bother?"
- Reggie Fils-Aimé
Sure why not
I support you no matter what you play or make videos about. I love the witty scripted content and the no scripted. You're a damn good content creator ❤
I barely play anymore except for new tomes and rifts. I can’t focus on a single game for that long.
Kaiser, I'm just some random dude from the internet, but I don't think you should quit. This cumminity needs dudes like you. Whether your making content or just playing, this gane is too cool and too fun to just say "Never again am I going to play". Stay rad bro
Honestly Dead by Daylight is a game that's best enjoyed like a Plasma Rifle from Aliens: short, controlled bursts. When i game, i play a session or two of dbd, then switch out to another game, and vice versa. The game doesnt offer enough to play at a committed several-hour period without burning people out. If its affecting your enjoyment of this game, please don't let it kill your love it. Take a break and breathe, commit to another game for a bit, and the DbD community youve cultivated will welcome you back with open arms.
All I can say is that I wish the best for you, DBD is a fun game, the community not so much, just know we appreciate what you do.
At some point we all know your content will diversify, so just keep the grind up and you’ll make it.
I just recently found your channel and I'm gonna stick around regardless of what you do i hope life gets better even if just a little you should do what makes you happy thats what content creation is about and I'll make sure im there to tune in
I feel for ya man. Its hard playing the game 24/7 without losing some sanity and delving into depression. The absolute hate people get for just playing the game is nightmarish and messed up
PLEASE do whatever makes you happy!
Taking a break from this game now is probably the best idea, its currently, atleast in my opinion, in the worst state it has ever been, i understand as a CC theres more to it, but from just a normal player, im not even surprised when my friends and others decide to quit and take long-term break from the game in its current state
I've taken a break from dbd bc of the community and how the game has been taken from a casual team game to sweat lord central. I'm currently dealing with some depression and social anxiety that I feel the only source of social interaction I can handle is ppl I dm and who I live with. I tried to stream dbd and realized that I just wasn't having fun like I use to and it's been hard to deal with the toxicity of the community. I've met so many wonderful ppl on dbd but I've met alot of bad ppl too. I watch ur videos for both entertainment and to improve my skills but I do enjoy ur other content. The borderlands video almost made me install and play the game again just for nostalgia and I really enjoyed ur analysis on it. I wish u luck for all ur future ventures whether they r dbd related or not
You're not an annoying person at all to me I've been watching almost all of your videos for a few months and I think your personality is awesome and I love your humour, I can relate to a lof of what you say sometimes🙁
I'm on a break, myself. It's just a good idea to step away from time to time.
You’re overthinking and over-justifying. Don’t be ashamed of yourself, just be honest and you’ll feel more comfortable doing what you want to do.
Easier said than done, I know, but as a person who‘a been surviving with depression for decades, it DOES get better. The best thing you can do is choose to take your power back and stop giving a F. Suddenly, it’ll feel like you just took off a heavy backpack and now you can fly.
TL;DR
Be true to yourself and pour yourself into your passions. If you keep going and ignore that hate, you’ll go far.
As much as I wish you to stay, I can understand the sentiments this game can cause & the ruinners that infest this community.
As you noted at 6:12, negative content does get more views, which is scary, given how widely cynical content is consumed nowadays.
Yet, Ironically, the individuals who say these negative things to tear you down are self-reporting, from the content they watch to how they act to someone with a different opinion.
Ruinners will try to tear down anything they deem "justified" in their eyes, even tear themselves down with you with no care of harming others or themselves in the process.
No matter what, Kaiser, we are here not because of the game you are playing but because you are entertaining and humorous.
Toxicity and just how the devs poorly handle seemily everything is a big part of my falling out with the game and why I still dont come back. Hell at this point you are the only source of info I have for this game now so whatever you choose I'll just say I will support how I can.
I played every day for years but lately i feel burnt out and since 2v8 i only played during modifiers - so lights out and now chaos shuffle. It really helped but atm the normal game is just not fun anymore for me 🙈 at least atm. And i play on console, i don't even have the endgame chat and all the negativity that comes with that 😅
Never play anything if its not fun - easier said than done when its your income. All thats going on in the dbd community can be tough, if its too much take a break. Better taking a step back than getting pushed to the edge. Those people and the comments get through you, thats normal. They shouldn't but like you said, its hard especially if you are already mentally affected.
I really like your content and i would watch content about other games too.
Don't feel pressured to just stick to dbd, maybe start with introducing other stuff and see how it goes is a good idea.
So, something personal - you are not everyones cup of tea but thats a good thing. You remind me a lot of my best friend who died two years ago. He couldn't go on with his illnesses and all he had to endure every day. Comments, words can be weapons - if your mental health is affected by this, please take the step away you need to stay as stable as possible. I have severe depression and ptsd, i feel your job situation. I really hope you can keep on with videos and streaming and that the variety content helps with that.
Taking care of yourself is so important.
I quit this game I'm depressed I try my hardest to live the game as a huge horror fan but it's the player base it's more negative than toxic I get shit off survivors on my own team because I was the solo player put with a three man sec then there's killers who just want you out the game so fast so you can't play then get shit in end game I legit felt so low because of f this game and no game should do that to someone so I totally resonate with this vid
I took a lengthy break from this game where i would only play once in a blue moon and now i play more regularly not every day and it's refreshing kinda
Kaiser I love the videos you make you’re a great a voice in the dbd community!!
I quit tired of the toxicity tired of the constant nerfs to killers. I had a good run
At 5:40, you mention negative affirmations having more of an effect than positive ones and I cannot agree with this more. I have convinced myself that any time someone is nice to me, they are just being polite, pitying me, or making fun of me in a way I don't really understand.
I’m so glad I tremendously slowed down playing this game because this game seriously drains me from the community telling me to go hurt myself and saying the most ruthless shit you can say to another human over a fucking video game because DBD was hurting my mental health because of the people that play it
Then crawl back to the game a few months later. Like every other game we have poured time into games are made to be addictive. And we have all fallen for it
I just followed you on Twitch. If you're ever playing Deadlock and I notice, I will tune in
Video doesn’t start until 10:00
My honest advice is stop uploading every day, have some variety still come to dead by daylight just less frequently, and I have been depressed before and if I remember right you don't really have a sleep schedule so maybe try and sort out a sleep schedule and maybe go on a walk every couple of days idk if you do that or not but when I started doing stuff like that more I started feeling better, good luck with whatever you do next
Please 🙏 Kaiser I'm begging you to go to therapy. I honestly think quitting dbd isn't going to help you. Many of us love you but you can't see that until you can learn to love yourself.
I wanna start by saying first and foremost do what will make you happy but always be smart about it.
Unfortunately negativity will draw more conversation and engagement because people are more willing to speak to something they disagree with than something they do. YTs algorithm caters to engagement so comments and likes tend fuel views. Granted that’s pretty well known.
I personally enjoy your dbd content the most and really like the conversation by daylight series. Granted I could see why they aren’t always as popular as a “this patch bad” video and with as polarized as this community is to begin with it makes more sense unfortunately.
That all being said i as an audience member want you to stick to dbd but me as a person only want that if you can be happy with it. Maybe being happy with it might mean finding the balance of video that do well and the videos you make but i understand as someone who’s both autistic and have ADHD (medicated starting yesterday) that you simply can’t do what you don’t wanna do unless you absolutely drag it out. Hell sometimes i can’t even do the things i wanna do 😂.
However you plan on taking your content i do hope the best for you and hope life goes well for you.
As far as anyone else reading this comment i encourage you to comment positively here and elsewhere especially if you are tired of negativity because sometimes change starts with you. If not change in the system then possibly a change for the creators mood or motivation.
Anyways, back to lurking and wish you all love
You're a funny, talented, and lovable guy Kaiser, You'll grow enough to not have to work at the company store soon enough.
Shoutout to our lord and savior deadlock.
This is how i feel with all the multiplayer games i play. Overwatch people complain and bitch no matter what you do and its the same with dbd im too old and tired to deal with people yelling at me constantly.
if you wanna quit dbd, i’ll still watch whatever you have to offer, if i just wanted to watch a dbd youtuber i would’ve watched one of the hundred other ones
If you plan on finding a new game I recommend playing Star wars battlefront 2. Yet, it could be toxic sometimes but not as toxic as dbd and it's really fun; either way I wish the best for you.
If you're really strapped for cash, and the applications aren't coming back. You should try to obtain a CDL. There's potentially grants or scholarships out there which you can take for it as well.
I know that this is a leap from your current life, but I think that depending on how much Dead by Daylight makes, it might be your quickest route into a more stable, better career.
You do also have to be substance free with this. I am not saying this to imply you do anything, but just a heads up. It's a federal license, so even if your state may allow you to use Marijuana or any other substance legal in your state, it's still federally not legally, so you can get in trouble if you use it, even a prescription
(would be really awkward if after all of this you're canadian, don't actually know) still I'd say there to try trucking anyway, but my advice is a bit different
If you want to. It’s a game dude, it’s not your job. If you want to stop, then stop. Your life, your rules.
At this point u should just quit and get your life together first
You are a great guy, keep up the good work. Watching your content makes my day always better. Love goes out
Just as a thought but perhaps try other, similar games to see if you like those as well.
I’d be interested to hear a podcast or other videos where you show or discuss other gaming content 😊
i came for the dbd content and opinions but i will stay for you as a person. you have an inciteful mind and an enjoyable personality. ill watch whatever content you push out if the game is relevant to me. best wishes.
I'm gonna quit if they go through with the 8.3.0 update and remove moris.
dbd community: complains about negative content
also the dbd community: no interest in positive content
You’ve fallen into the trap. You chased the money on TH-cam and it locked you into one type of content.
I don’t even play dbd and you always make my day better with your videos. It’s also nice to see another non binary creator that I could watch ❤ You’re an amazing person, Kaiser.
I wish the best for you Kaiser, I have enjoyed your dbd content and I always look forward to watching them but I hope you get your opening to cut back that you want cause your mental health matters
Hey Kaiser thank you for the dbd content very motivated by you keep up the good work brother
if you're on surivior game is play is just dying and not being able to have fun because hearing problems then yeah because killer is pretty easy but you wait longer.
since cant enjoy one side of game that is much faster to do then might as well move on.
i feel really sad for you i dont think you are annoying kaiser dbd sometimes doing things that pissing you off and its ok we are a divided community and its really sad that you need to do something that makes you missrable but it is the only thing that holds your life i hope that you will one day be succesful like the others kaiser it was really sad to hear that struggle you have
Is it not possible to ask other content creators or the community for help? I really think a little boost from the community could fix this.
Tbh I don't know if you can quit, lmao. You came back last time. This isn't an insult it's just DBD seems like a comfort game for you despite the stress
If you quit then I'll be sad your not annoying your funny I love waiting for your videos because they bring me a d alot of people joy please don't let some low life's get you down
I don’t really see the streams anymore but I’m always lurking on the tube but I hope you get out of the spot you’re in and can upload whatever you want and comfortably
When your passion becomes a cage. I've seen mine craft youtubers and league of legends players fall into the same pit of "I'm miserable playing or talking about this game, but if I don't I can't make rent." Shit sucks. Can't take a break, can't stop, just gotta keep going. I just wish people would stop being annoying cunts over this fucking game. Oh no you lost, big whoop. Que up again and run it back.
I would say quit it your feeling a lot more stressed and it shows in your voice. I wish I could play this game every day for a career I genuinely love it and don't see my self ever stopping for 4000+ hrs in only 2 yrs I still feel like I'm learning new things everyday but I know I'm the exception. I also know your stressed and need a different outlet for your creativity.
i quit at the alien chapter. it was rediculous. best decision i ever made
Yeah you should
U should play risk of rain or gunfire reborn, teamates in that are so chill
just wow.
Just treat yourself with some good single player games, always worked with me
Im gone back to playing fallout 76, the community is really nice to its fellow community members. The game has grown and really good. I just deleted DBD off my console.DBD isn't worth it for me anymore. I hope to see u in the wastelands.
I quit because I was tired of selling everything due to limited storage. If they changed that one thing the game would be great.
@@Stranzua well they have snap boxes and almost boxes that should help. Ammo is treated a scrap in a scrap box. And th3 game has change since I've left. You can learn how to make Legendary effects, we are allow to use explosives on lasser weapons. They have lots of npc's to talk too. Lots different stories and Missions. And in the future you can turn into a ghoul as a new future coming next yr
Whilst I’d admit you wouldn’t be the first person I’d watch (mainly because I already have my set TH-camrs I like to watch) no one deserves hate, doesn’t matter what you do, how you play, what character you play, whatever. Hate only makes the hater in the wrong. I’ve mailed SM for maybe 3-4 months now and whilst it probably doesn’t compare to insults towards your personal being I’ve seen some of the worst this community has to offer. And to be honest yea the DBD community is terrible for it. I’ve played DRG (Deep Rock Galactic) and met some of the most chill people after making some of the easiest of mistakes and never had anyone get truly despicable with me. Does that mean you should stop playing DBD and stop making content on it? Fuck no. You have a right to do and play whatever you have passion over.
In any case, sorry if my rambling makes no sense, do what feels best for you. But it would be a damn shame to see you go. ❤
all those hate comments but they keep watching shit is so weird
Burnout *fucking sucks* and I want you to be happy in your career of content creation.
I know I am when the finishing mori go live
Dammm all that laggin sheesh
I cant believe I'm saying this but dbd is 1,000% more toxic as a community then league of legends, like people go fuckin nuts over the dumbest things, and like you said harassment and threats etc. its just really pathetic tbh. idk what is wrong with ppl in this game.
bro it is a game
I've been disagreeing with nearly all of your dbd takes and at times I've probably been anoyed and left angry comments but still I keep watching videos because I think they're entertaining.
45 views in 2 minutes you fell off but seriously ill still watch nomater what good luck in your future if you deside to quit
