my personal guess, is he is done for right now, but may eventually come back to the channel, but with a very different bit for it, because it seems like he might be planning something new already.
Rusty one the few personality driven channels that felt like he was always striving to make what he wanted. And for that I'll always respect his channel.
I mean given who Rusty is, and how he's acted in pretty much ALL of his content I feel like this was the most Rusty way he could have gone out. He's not really a TH-camr per-say, he's an artist first and foremost. My opinion on it at least.
Mine too and I think I saw it coming I haven't seen them but the videos I did see I think it was foreshadowed that he would use the lemonade stand on himself killing the rusty character
yeah same. He frequents the bar dt a lot and I used to see him pm every night. We also had the same friend group. Don’t drink anymore so I haven’t seen him in a while. I also moved
He brought it up in the beginning. He said if it didn’t work out (as in 10 millions views and hopefully ad revenue from it) he’d throw in the towel. Shame because TH-cam definitely shadowbanned him and he was one of the greatest content creators on TH-cam and has been there for many eras of it.
I think he’s probably done making TH-cam videos, but I don’t really think he’s done with his other art (music and the comic series). But I might be wrong. Either way, this was one of the most memorable things I’ve ever seen on this platform.
honestly august duicks coverage of the video practically proved rusty's point that people are way too gullible and biased towards cleanliness when it comes to art that provokes. while at surface this might seem like s**cide baiting, the fact that he didn't even try to understand the point the series while painting it in this light is such a disservice to the project.
The thing with the Lemonade Stand videos is he just states a whole bunch of very true things about how badly treated normal citizens are while being tricked into thinking they're doing well. He says a lot of true things which can only remain up on TH-cam because they are presented as an unhinged character. Anyone who sits and calmly explains those things in a non-fiction context is actually risking their lives. It's a testament to Rusty's artistic ability that he was able to skirt under TH-cam censorship and avoid being disappeared by the FBI.
Do you actually believe that? I mean, do you believe that if some dude, even if he has a big following, starts to talk about how horrible is life for everyone, that guy is at risk of being CIA'd away ? Really?
I'm sure he probably said some true shit but hooooooly relax lol. The cia are not disappearing some guy cause he's going "government bad!". Maybe if he found the cure to cancer or something
@@Sithis211 They won't go after someone for making videos, that's just a meme, but if you're actually going out and leaking documents, speaking to whistleblowers, etc etc, then yeah, you're going to get the CIA's Award For Journalism (two rounds of 9mm to the back of the head labeled as suicide). But the point still stands, if you don't put these beliefs into an unhinged character then people will simply dismiss you as being insane. Ironically enough, having a buffer of an unhinged character acting as a mouthpiece makes you sound more believable and less easy to dismiss, with the idea being that people will hear of these 'insane and not true events' and go down a rabbit hole and discover that not only are the events true, but there are even worse ones go on as well
I actually didn't watch that many videos of him, however, I'm a huge fan of his music, I've been listening to it for years, he's a really underrated musician
Rusty and Mumkey are legends, I've been following their content since they did the SOTY podcast with EmpLemon. Good vid man, I'll be sure to check out your other content.
Man mumkeys kinda fallen off like hella hard for the last couple of years he just isn’t hitting the same. Even the podcast aren’t as good as they use to be
@@MuffingDaCabage i mean it's a mix between himself and TH-cam fucking him and him loosing his "best friend" assburger that was all burger he fucked up but the rest is himself messing up or youtube punishing him for no reason
@@theboywonder4302 I think it's a combination of his og channel getting burned down, his insane affair with a PDF and general times and trends changing. I'm glad he's still around but yeah a lot of things happened that just sort of took all the unique charm out of his content. His old friend Digibro also crashed and burned. Edgy anime-themed shitpost content in general seems pretty dead.
the crazy part is that, the stream and final video happened 2 days after my birthday. The stream made me genuinely worried about him cause it had me like "Damn... What a late birthday gift.... FUCK..." because I liked a lot of his other content as well.
Im just getting into using davinci resolve and its mind numbing to think about the work he put in just on the editing side, not to mention the cinematic filming, the music, the script writing, how did he survive as a human, he couldnt of slept much at all. Im sure he had help but he doesn't seem like the type of guy to just hand off a big chunk of work to someone without being massively involved.
1000% this. I don't think people understand truly what it means to lose someone who spent this much time and effort makingb such great art for us. The effort he put in is exactly why it was so good. Plus the features of James Lee was always a bonus
I've been watching rusty since 2017, when i was too young. he's always been one of my favorite youtubers, he can make fun of his fans and be entertaining
I’ve learned a lot about thrifting and one of the key aspects is persistence. Almost every day I was going to one or two thrift stores. The hardest thing to find for me are full cut and high waisted pants. But having a good alterations tailor can help make a good fit great for a very low cost compared to a new low quality suit. I almost prefer older thrifted clothes over what I can buy at the store.
I always thought that if Rusty Cage ever stopped making traditional youtube videos, he would focus on just making music instead. It's been radio silence from him since March 12 except for a few videos asking people to buy merch with no mention to any releases, so I guess it's pretty much joever for him. RIP Rusty
I think the guillotine bit is so obviously fake (the wipe of covering up the camera, the fact we don't get to actually see the blade fall) that I genuinely can't understand the idea that it was "going too far." If someone were trying to kill themselves on camera, they would not keep it artistically out of frame and suspiciously cover up the camera (creating a cover for trickery) before moving it into position. If anyone seriously believed Rusty Cage cut off his own head with a homemade guillotine on a live stream, they would probably also believe that Merriam-Webster took the word "gullible" out of the dictionary.
8:15 absolutely not. If you set up a series building a guilitien for two years, its only expected that you use it on yourself or somebody else. it's classic checkov's gun, it brings a satisfying conclusion.
Heretics is one of my favorite albums of all time. Rusty is extremely talented in music, drawing, and content creation. If Rusty is truly retired for good he will go down as a ledged.
If you liked this video, then you’ll like this one as well:

I mean, the knife game era you can see the videos where he prefered to stab his eyes out (Knife Reviews Specially)
I fucking love Rusty, However I can't help but notice how he looks like Mr. Pink from reservoir dogs
LOL
He made a recreation of the reservoir dogs tip scene but only featuring Mr Pink
I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS.
I KNOW RIGHT!
Yell just saying he looks like Steve Buscemi
I mean given who Rusty is, and how he's acted in pretty much ALL of his content I feel like this was the most Rusty way he could have gone out. He's not really a TH-camr per-say, he's an artist first and foremost. My opinion on it at least.
With the retirement era of legacy youtubers ushers in the next generation of influential channels
same with me, I'm not here for the popularity, recognition or riches, I just wanna review and express my love of cinema.
wait he retired, oh no, he was my teenhood, to be fair the ending was art
Mine too and I think I saw it coming I haven't seen them but the videos I did see I think it was foreshadowed that he would use the lemonade stand on himself killing the rusty character
Childhood for me lol
fun fact rusty cage lives in my home town and my cousin went ot high school with him lol, he said he was a little weird but not crazy lol
yeah same. He frequents the bar dt a lot and I used to see him pm every night. We also had the same friend group. Don’t drink anymore so I haven’t seen him in a while. I also moved
I had no idea that the lemonade stand series was actually the end for Rusty. Either way, I wouldn't be too bothered tbh. Good video
I didn't either

90% of people didn't understand what Rusty was yapping about
Rusty died on the way back to his home planet

LOL

Mumkey's not a legend... he knowingly dated a pedophile... does that sound legendary to you?

The Guillotine Song is genuinly one of the most intersting songs out of the whole series.

Ngl, I’m surprised that you’re the first person to mistake this for being about the soundgarden song lmao

First time on your channel/video, just subscribed. Can't wait to see more, you will go far!
Lemonade stand series is a piece of art in my opinion
rusty has been my fav since like 2015 and i love how he decided to end things
I really love how you separated explaning who Rusty is and the event
This video did as well if not better than his friends' "funeral" video
there goes my hero, watch him as he goes
He's back baby

So happy I got the manual from cagetech
I saw you on Toms stream a few days ago when he watched your misfits video, and it seems like you’ve definitely improved since then. Good video!
You scared the shit out if me, I thought he died
Yeah same😊
At least he didn’t go out like mumkey jones I know he’s still active on a different channel but he’s basically a dead channel
The rusty cage channel will dearly missed.
why do you only have 4 and a half k subs dude this is the best commentary on this topic i've seen so far + you actually showcased some valid info
He's AWESOME, and his Christmas songs are EPIC!
Rusty couldn't handle the heat anymore sadly ;-;
Florida getting real warm
Nothing burger ahh video
Rusty will always be a youtube legend if you ask me!
He has a new video up rn
Hahaha I love that ya called August the ducks video annoying 💀 which at times they are

He posted a complete series and an important update thing. So we'll so l see
You're a very good creator and very underrated, I think you could be huge if you uploaded more often 😁
8:15 absolutely not.

Loving your videos so far keep it up
I had his schizo gun shirt. I lost it... Maybe I should buy a new one
I still have hope that he’ll come back some day
He just posted an update so who knows

Bellevue boy is one of his best
I thought you meant the Johnny Cash song when I clicked lmao
I saw someone mention the soundgarden version in my comments too. it’s funny to me
Gainesvilles best is gone 😢
dub video ++rep +algorithm boost
RIP rusty cage
My ex GF from Germany talks to rusty cage daily on whatsapp and when we broke up she gossip to him about it and sent me the images
As cheesy as it is to say, I do really hope that Rusty is doing just OK
I love you…
bruh this has nothing to do with soundgarden
Good video frog, much love
Thank you microwave
Is rusty actuality done though he just uploaded
Please make a mumkey one

boring video, you aren't interesting and i dont mean to say that out of malice. the video could have been summed up in 3 minutes
First (I’m lonely)
Am gay

I loved his vids when i was in middle school & he was cute i miss him :(
