Bro that surprised me. I know dontai said he’s not into anime recently, but to start with one piece of all things is crazy. It’s a pretty good show but he should’ve started with demon slayer or something. Guess he took that Michael b Jordan list to heart 😂
@@chadmcdaniel438 the pacing is so awful with the anime. I’ve heard the manga is much better but it’s crazy to think that the anime is currently adapting chapter 1030 and has 1055 episodes. So less then a single chapter gets adapted for each episode on average and recently they’ve been adapting only 12 or 13 pages for every 23 minute episode.
If y’all remember Jinx’s “for my daily dose of vineeee” catchphrase and him randomly beating up his tiger, you deserve a veteran discount 😂 Jinx looked okay in Dontai baby shower video, props to him
Bro...I remember wayy back when icuckss wanted to box Jinx for a charity event, made a whole ass content cop on him and (from memory) was saying the most out of pocket shit to him all just for reacting to vids...at the time tho, that shit was seen as "lazy content" instead of a chill session, I used to be watching Jinx and just vibe with the videos
@@moriontax fax, that dubz guy was plain racist now that I remember. Jinx was an innovation and crybabies like dubz just went out of their way to sh*t on Jinx. Jinx deserved better fr
People don't realize jinx took all the hate which made all the bigger channels focused on him and not up and coming reaction channels. If it wasn't for jinx, prolly your fav reactor would of took his place and have the same faith

Being a “pioneer” doesn’t mean he was a good channel, be honest if Dontai did what jinx did and didn’t say anything the entire reaction until the end then uploaded the video to TH-cam would you still enjoy his content?
@@mystic8668 damn. You kinda got a point. But I discovered him after he got popular when he started to show a little more emotion in his reaction videos.

nah people still do trash talk reaction channels, its just less vocal now. i lowkey agree with some criticism of reaction videos if its a nigga literally just sitting there and saying nothing. im one of those niggas who loves when someone will pause a lot to talk about the video.
Because people actually react now, while the people who don’t react don’t get any views because they’re not entertaining, if dontai did what jinx did and didn’t say anything during reaction videos he wouldn’t be big. Back then they didn’t react they just watched the video.
@@mystic8668 exactly, thats why nobody trashes and thrashes niggas like berleezy or chiseled adonis when they react because those niggas not only add shit they are FUNNY AS FUCK when it comes to looking at shit
@@sadsatan.. ye ik what you mean gang. there's a lot of twitch streamers who basically do the same thing as jinx that are big and don't really get flamed
To be totally honest,I think pretty much all the criticism of jinx’s content back in the day was valid. The truth of the matter is that he objectively didn’t post transformative content. If you enjoyed the content that he’d post then that’s totally fine,but I can see why other creators (especially ones he reacted to) wouldn’t be a fan of it
@@The3Kings that’s dumb asf🤣 a lot of reactiors in those days added nothing to the video besides laughs and weird faces and 45 secs of talking about the video that’s it they’ll all get hate, all they were doin is using the clout off of the original video to garner views to their channel It’s not that hard to understand bro
Even back in the day before the big reaction backlash I never really enjoyed Jinx vids. I remember if I couldn't find a song online I would download his video of it as audio because he usually never said anything during the music 💀
I remember one of them was rashadthereactor dissing batroulette but he deleted the video like 2 days after it came out. Jinxs reaction was the only record of it existing.
Ay some of them were right tho. Jinx did not deserve to basically get bullied by a bunch of people with millions of subs over him but some of his content was a bit goofy. Reaction channels have gotten so much better since the days of jinx, y’all actually say shit now lmao
It’s crazy how Jinx along with many other reactors at the time were the true reason I started finding out everyone from RDC, Dontai (from Tyrone Magnus’s roast), Berleezy and countless others. Legit is a domino effect but in a good way. Gotta honestly thank them for putting us on to other channels, discovering them, etc. Gotta also thank Dontai too. He also helped out finding out other channels.
let's give jinx a chance at this again he deserves it, he basically started reactions and is the reason why alot over other channels exist dangmatt used to be on vine
This is my first time ever hearing about Jinx (mainly because back in 2015-2016 I wasn’t watching many Black TH-camrs), but I honestly feel like he was definitely blacklisted on TH-cam for no reason. And I honestly believe had he ignored the hate and not switch up his content, he’d be way bigger today.
we definitely know from Coryxkenshin that TH-cam has a habit of sabotaging channels. Yourrage & others stated the same, so it’s easy to see how he was blacklisted back then. The difference now is that content creators had vocal fan bases, so when people are blacklisted, banned, or given a strike unfairly, the fan bases would now attack the platform to support the content creator, such as Kai, Rage, Cory, Berleezy, etc.
@@mocapcow2933 What makes you think Dontai changed? I'm asking because I haven't been subscribed to Dontai long enough to see his full journey up until this point.
@@seaserenity5971 Most definitely! CoryxKenshin and Berleezy both have very die-hard supporters who were in an uproar when TH-cam tampered with their channels. Do you think if Jinx's fan base back then was the same that TH-cam would've done something about his viewers count?
@@mocapcow2933 Also, when I say "not switch up his content", I mean to change it completely from uploading different types of videos. For instance, after receiving backlash/hate from larger TH-camrs about his content, he stopped uploading reaction videos altogehter and uploaded another genre of videos (I forgot which kind) which caused him to lose a lot of subscribers.
I remember these days. I didnt watch Jinx but I watched The Big 4. (Tyron Magnus, Reel Rejects, Gattor Martin & Akasan) Then Dontai did the Roast of Tyron Magnus and i've been subscribed ever since.
What’s worst is that they started going harder on reaction channels after RashadTheCreator said that he’s stealing content, making money off it and he doesn’t give a fuck but instead of targeting him they used it as a point to shit on Jinx even more. 💀
dontai you can have this niggas back but lets be honest the type of reactions this dude would make vs the type of reaction videos that are present now are vastly different and it's the difference between what is in the line of being copyright struck and what is fair use. sure he might have started or at the very least popularized the reaction format that exists today but that doesn't mean that his shit was good or would be considered fair use or even that he transformed the original content enough to not be copyright struck.
Meanwhile xqc and other big streamers just sit there looking stupid THE entire video for multiple in a row, they found a couple clips on him not adding much to a boring ass video and ran with it to start hating cause apparently the 1mil+ subs he had thought his reactions were substantial
You one of the few down here speaking facts. I was watching back during that Era in middle school and yuh Jinx ain't react to shit😂. Back in the day mfers ain't even pause the vid to talk. Jinx was on sum bullshit in my opinion 🤷🏿♂️
@@LilDonutV2yea there’s big push back by TH-camrs about that happened right now so the streamers are being dogpiled exactly like jinx was, so don’t act like they are left alone just literally search up streamers stealing content and you’ll ding a vision on Hassan and the other streamers that do that calling them out
Bro this video took me back omg. Jinx is pretty much the god father for 70 percent of the content out on TH-cam today. Literally everybody does reactions on TH-cam, from creators to bigger networks and he never really got his flowers. 😢
It’s crazy because the first reaction vid I watched was Jinx’s and then watched Dontai because he made roasts about him. It’s been around 7-8 years since I’ve been watching Dontai’s content so it’s crazy how the world works.
Broooo this is such a blast from a past I used to watch dontai back in this day too he was making reaction videos in his garage I swear there all gone now but I think he reacted to that grade A video back in the day crazy how far my dogs come
objectively speaking grade was right dawg😭😭i was watching jinx before even watching dontai n i still appreciate the nigga, but the criticism are still valid…n grade can still drop a video n pull over 700-800k with ease😭😭the nigga also a OG commentary channel who talks about more than juss other ytbers, there’s obvious bias tho esp since jinx arguably was one of the most prominent black figures. 🤷🏽♂️ grade also got depression because of family deaths and external problems outside of youtube, lowkey was messed up to juss assume it was bound to happen bc he doesnt like the same content u do n somehow tht shows why he shouldn’t b just criticizing other channels. Its youtube n evb has the right to give opinion, hence the purpose of comment sections.
A good reaction channel will provide commentary, some opinions, indication that they’re taking in the content, active reviews, etc. Being genuine doesn’t mean being stiff and providing nothing. That is why certain reactors were/are praised while others weren’t. Jinx was not a good reaction channel, plain and simple. He just mostly sat there, and asked for views/subs/etc.
@@niyam7978 ….okay? Lol it still doesn’t mean it’s a good channel. There are songs/movies that I know aren’t “good” but I still like them. These two comments can be true at the same time. Jinx is ass. Having a huge following doesn’t automatically mean it’s a good channel. 😂
I agree with both gradeA and dontai 1) i rather have someone pause every two seconds than just sitting there like this 😶cuz with pausing you're at least giving feedback 2) people that fake reactions or watch the video before hand then rewatch on camera piss me the fu"k off like
I think the main point is that they didn't add much or not enough to the vids back in the day. Pewdiepie's reactions now actually adds something, Dontai's reactions have always added something that is the difference between now and back in the day. But it was just the early days of reactions so it makes sense that reactions weren't as good or didn't add as much back then.
no that’s exactly it, thats like hating on thomas edison for creating the first light bulb so trash, like it was the first of its kind, what do you expect💀
@@sarahkoestler1892yea that’s fair but the criticism that the TH-camrs gave him was also fair he was literally stealing their videos and it was not under fair use
It's about that...... TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!! Man, time really flies when you think about everything you've watched on YT. From reaction channels to the early rise of my favorite channels. Dashie's OLD skits, TBH's early channel Cornelius08, even as far back as AMV Hell.
@@benimarusasaka9127 29:45 Wrong. Like Jinx said, if you actually WATCHED most of his vids back then, he was genuinely reacting there and his fans loved it. There could be some dull moments in a reaction, but overall he provided a good reaction. He literally built the foundation of reaction videos and everyone was shitting on him. Now everyone does it and it became normalized. No one says anything anymore. He has every right to be mad.
I’m not gonna lie Dontai bringing up Pewdiepie’s bridge shit was uncalled for, that’s a low blow for him. That’s got nothing to do with his stance on reaction channels.
what sets apart reactors like dontai from reactors like jinx is that what people were criticizing was that he didn't really "react" he just watched the video. Now I didn't watch jinx, but from what it seemed at the time, that was the case. Maybe he did react and say things in certain videos and just not those ones. I think reactors now are doing it better than before. Not all of them. I mean you have the reactors that go on stream and just say nothing of value, never pause, and basically go to sleep or lala land while watching 20 videos in a row before ending stream. But then there are the good reactors that actually say things of value and pause and go on long monologues about shit. This isn't a plug (and I wont link anything), but I also react and even though I am just starting out I feel as though I put more effort into my reactions than most in my specific react niche. I don't overreact, but I also don't say nothing. In fact just like how I am rambling in this comment, I do that in reactions too. Talking about tons of stuff. Of course, relating to what I just watched. I even add a bit of editing to spice it up a lil. The thing is... most do not do this. I respect the ones that can actually bring value to the og vid. Who actually put effort and care into the reactions they make. cuz there are deff a lot that still just sit there and say absolutely nothing and get views for it. don't know why man. I usually click off quick if they start the video and then depending on the length, they get to about 15% of the video or so and have said nothing. so ye. some reactors are good, but that is proib why jinx lost viewers long term. cuz his videos were just not that good.
Btw Pewdiepie was only mocking the lazy reactors, he wasn't dissing the whole concept in terms of people who actually added input/personality. He adds this in his videos, so he not really a hypocrite
That's the reason everyone was dissing jinx because he puts no efforts in his videos at all. Weird seeing Dontai who actually puts a lot of effort in his content defend him
@@riigoo4714 thats what im saying and then he tried insinuating it was a blm thing like come on lol i be hating that victim shit. Like jinx was fr making more money than some of the actual og creators at one point. He never evolved his reaction videos and that was the main issue
Fr don't know why he gotta pull up the race card everytime when every other big TH-camr has editors and make the videos better instead of just sitting there like Jinx🤦🏻
I liked Jinx, but all the criticism was totally justified Also, GradeAUnderA, jacksfilms, Idubbz have made some of the funniest and most creative content youtube has to offer, so no way I’m taking Jinx over them
You had to really be there to watch him back when he was dissing the Batman reactor dude to willpower, to blasphamous to Rashad the reactor and his friend “hightop”. And let’s not forget land of development and early stages lmao. Even if Dontai thinks a couple of his old songs might’ve been bad, it’s so much nostalgia and fun to listen too for the OG subscribers like myself.
I’m ngl despite all the hating GradeA did, he was making valid points against Jinx but damn. I will not tolerate anymore GradeA disrespect because of JINX
I usually watch reaction channels to see what they are watching or to see a genuine reaction to media news, music, trailers, or things of that nature love you dontai and rage y’all both are my main source for good reactions
At least jinx isn't bhd lmao he was on some crazy shi after he got rid of all his friends. Bhd's old friend Chavez is still posting and getting views. He's even been in some internet historian videos. I still listen to jinx's music
Bhd crashed OUT Randy really really tried to stay in his life. But it was getting too toxic. And then they were aleging that he's a p*do. And thats real bad.
Man yall remember when blast used to be funny as shit and put out like 9 reactions a day all to funny ratchet shit when bhd started his first bhd tv channel. Dude came into the genre on his grind,sad to see where he fell
I think the thing is for me and other people who watch JINX growing up is we enjoy the company of watching a video together and occasionally hearing there thoughts. Yes not every reaction video he made does he have crazy reactions but in a sense that is more realistic. When a video isn’t to a person’s taste i feel like it’s only natural to have less of a reaction compare to what you’re really interested in. It’s a pain to see him not realize this, and spiral down a hole of losing his identity.
Nah 2010 kids, im a 2000 kid i was watching long before cj joined the channel hell i followed blast before he even posted the first few reaction channels on bhd gaming prior to starting the first bhd tv channel
i watched jinx and that’s how i found dontai. i remember y’all would go live together and chat with fans. dontai the first youtuber i ever spoke to fr 😭
I use to watch jinx on the daily just sad how things turned out but he’s not wrong, when you search Jinx he doesn’t pop up unless you search “Jinx Reaction”
I’m late to say this but Jinx is the Godfather of Reactions. Dontai, Tyrone Magnus and Koollee are the kings of reactions give them their flowers and put some respect on their names.
@VHT Spanks They were Jews so ofc they gonna do it big if you know what I mean. But overall they made it so popular with the creative edits, the details and facts about the video or person they reacted to and didn't show a whole video which made people wanna go see the original
Grade A is hilarious, he's just over the top. Most of his channel is satirical and the things he "hates" on aren't really meant to be serious. That's why he makes videos on hating almost everything from zoos, to the English alphabet.
@@thugmorantDUDE He should be expected to be taken seriously when making a video criticizing other TH-camrs. It's not like he can't make jokes but Insults like 'gay' and 'stupid' isn't very valid.
so crazy how jinx introduce you to all these TH-camrs that are just trending right now I mean Imdontai, CJ so cool. Jinx was a pioneer and what happened to him was extremely sad. I would say OG TH-cam consumer I was surprised how things turned out, but honestly all love for all the creators here.

Meanwhile xqc and other big streamers just sit there looking stupid THE entire video for multiple in a row, they found a couple clips on him not adding much to a boring ass video and ran with it to start hating cause apparently the 1mil+ subs he had thought his reactions were substantial
You one of the few down here speaking facts. I was watching back during that Era in middle school and yuh Jinx ain't react to shit😂. Back in the day mfers ain't even pause the vid to talk. Jinx was on sum bullshit in my opinion 🤷🏿♂️
@@LilDonutV2yea there’s big push back by TH-camrs about that happened right now so the streamers are being dogpiled exactly like jinx was, so don’t act like they are left alone just literally search up streamers stealing content and you’ll ding a vision on Hassan and the other streamers that do that calling them out
@@LilDonutV2 People give him the same type of shit too though.
Facts people got on jinx head for not saying anything but now most people do it and just chuckle at something here and there
The first video of Dontai I seen was jinx’s reaction to his first diss against that batman guy way back
Yo I remember that shit. Who tf was that guy again?
Batroulette! Oh shit I forgot
@@Rav_Ram Oh yeah. He did a roast first, I think, and got mad when Dontai's got more views.
Bro this video took me back omg. Jinx is pretty much the god father for 70 percent of the content out on TH-cam today. Literally everybody does reactions on TH-cam, from creators to bigger networks and he never really got his flowers. 😢
Dontai’s the type of guy who would lift the toilet seat up and take a shit in it
TS so random
Dontai's the type of guy to breath air
Fuck….that was a creamy one
A lady once told me they stood up whilst they took a shit.
Dontai the type to lift the toilet up and piss backwards, up and over his head
I don't think dontai is getting it. The problem wasn't reaction videos. The problem was jinx not contributing anything to the videos
Um no they actually hated reaction channels back then.
Even if he reacted they would still flame him because it was cool to hate reaction channels back then.
@@Voocu Yeah because they didn't really add anything to the videos they were reacting to.
@@thedrunkronin4550 no that’s literally wasn’t the reason. Plus people today complain more about people speaking in reactions and giving input.
@@Voocu that was quite literally what was discussed in the video sometimes he would just sit there and do nothing
People don’t like pauses during reactions bc TikTok killed everyone’s attention span
People complained about TH-cam pauses before tiktok even existed
It’s crazy because the first reaction vid I watched was Jinx’s and then watched Dontai because he made roasts about him. It’s been around 7-8 years since I’ve been watching Dontai’s content so it’s crazy how the world works.
Fuck what a throwback I completely forgot jinx existed used to watch him all the time
I remember being a reaction channel back in 2014-2016 was like signing up for everyone to hate you
I used to love gradeaundera, he kinda reminds me a little of Joe bartolozzi and I just like how they care so much about insignificant problems.
Broooo this is such a blast from a past I used to watch dontai back in this day too he was making reaction videos in his garage I swear there all gone now but I think he reacted to that grade A video back in the day crazy how far my dogs come
objectively speaking grade was right dawg😭😭i was watching jinx before even watching dontai n i still appreciate the nigga, but the criticism are still valid…n grade can still drop a video n pull over 700-800k with ease😭😭the nigga also a OG commentary channel who talks about more than juss other ytbers, there’s obvious bias tho esp since jinx arguably was one of the most prominent black figures. 🤷🏽♂️ grade also got depression because of family deaths and external problems outside of youtube, lowkey was messed up to juss assume it was bound to happen bc he doesnt like the same content u do n somehow tht shows why he shouldn’t b just criticizing other channels. Its youtube n evb has the right to give opinion, hence the purpose of comment sections.
Lessgooo Pull out the race card. Dontai a cornball for promoting it all the time
A good reaction channel will provide commentary, some opinions, indication that they’re taking in the content, active reviews, etc. Being genuine doesn’t mean being stiff and providing nothing. That is why certain reactors were/are praised while others weren’t. Jinx was not a good reaction channel, plain and simple. He just mostly sat there, and asked for views/subs/etc.
If ppl didn't fw jinx they wouldnt have acknowledged him or given him a million subs, it's wtv content suits you.
@@niyam7978 ….okay? Lol it still doesn’t mean it’s a good channel. There are songs/movies that I know aren’t “good” but I still like them. These two comments can be true at the same time. Jinx is ass. Having a huge following doesn’t automatically mean it’s a good channel. 😂
@@goeienacht just because it's not in your particular taste or something you enjoy doesn't mean it's nad
there are two guys with deadpan face, not saying anything and just watches other's videos but they're not being hated like jinx.
I agree with both gradeA and dontai
1) i rather have someone pause every two seconds than just sitting there like this 😶cuz with pausing you're at least giving feedback
2) people that fake reactions or watch the video before hand then rewatch on camera piss me the fu"k off like
I think the main point is that they didn't add much or not enough to the vids back in the day. Pewdiepie's reactions now actually adds something, Dontai's reactions have always added something that is the difference between now and back in the day. But it was just the early days of reactions so it makes sense that reactions weren't as good or didn't add as much back then.
no that’s exactly it, thats like hating on thomas edison for creating the first light bulb so trash, like it was the first of its kind, what do you expect💀
@@sarahkoestler1892yea that’s fair but the criticism that the TH-camrs gave him was also fair he was literally stealing their videos and it was not under fair use
It's about that......
TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!
Man, time really flies when you think about everything you've watched on YT. From reaction channels to the early rise of my favorite channels. Dashie's OLD skits, TBH's early channel Cornelius08, even as far back as AMV Hell.
I used to watch Jinx’s videos he would upload every single morning giving people motivation for the day…I LOVED Jinx
I’d never understand how you get mad at someone because other people like what they’re doing
Jinx was so fire probably the first reactor i remember watching and his intro song was so sick too
They really did jinx bad for no reason
i mean back then he used to just watch and end the vid, so he got clowned.
Not for no reason.
@@benimarusasaka9127 29:45 Wrong. Like Jinx said, if you actually WATCHED most of his vids back then, he was genuinely reacting there and his fans loved it. There could be some dull moments in a reaction, but overall he provided a good reaction. He literally built the foundation of reaction videos and everyone was shitting on him. Now everyone does it and it became normalized. No one says anything anymore. He has every right to be mad.
@@benimarusasaka9127 that’s the agent they pushed and it worked the hate for jinx grew a lot
@@gyrokudon5957 ong had be trippin for a sec I always watched jinx and he was almost never silent lol
That’s some memories brought back, I remember watching blasts story times an that white dudes videos plus jinx
We need to support Jinx again bro he literally is part of the reason streaming as a whole got as big as it did.
So should we support ice poseidon?
@@evilmar2363 Who's Ice Poseidon
who’s jinx?
@@joshlaguardia6568da reaction goat
@@erboch7124 One of the main pioneers of why Twitch is as big as it is now and also a terrible human being who's done countless fucked up shit.
you know props to Dontai for actually giving one piece a shot and not be like everyone else that complains about how long the show is
I’m not gonna lie Dontai bringing up Pewdiepie’s bridge shit was uncalled for, that’s a low blow for him. That’s got nothing to do with his stance on reaction channels.
Crazy cause Jinx is how I found your channel and I fw ever since
Omfg I loved jinxxxx, I remember when he tried to make a comeback with da family channel
Crazy how he could've avoided falling off if he had just talked more during his videos
I remember this era lmao and the era of Dontai roasting Tyrone Magnus and Reel Rejects, good times man
Jinx is such a OG I loved watching him in middle school
Used to watch Jynx and BHD religiously years ago. Only real ones remember BHD’s prank vids
Only real ones remember bhd making the first tv channel and reacting to like 7 to 9 videos a day
Chat: shames Grade for shitting on people.
Also chat: shits on grade for being British not 20 seconds later.
Dontai meatriders are incapable of free thinking
Ngl every time I see the intro I get chills
In the intro Dontai sitting like Ganondorf from Twlight Princess 😂
A true person of immense culture!!
Jinx was confused he wanted to manipulate himself and his fans to think he wasn’t blinded by the fame and numbers.
It’s crazy how people including myself react to videos due to the genre blowing up back then. Crazy how jinx was clowned for it years back
what sets apart reactors like dontai from reactors like jinx is that what people were criticizing was that he didn't really "react" he just watched the video. Now I didn't watch jinx, but from what it seemed at the time, that was the case. Maybe he did react and say things in certain videos and just not those ones. I think reactors now are doing it better than before. Not all of them. I mean you have the reactors that go on stream and just say nothing of value, never pause, and basically go to sleep or lala land while watching 20 videos in a row before ending stream. But then there are the good reactors that actually say things of value and pause and go on long monologues about shit. This isn't a plug (and I wont link anything), but I also react and even though I am just starting out I feel as though I put more effort into my reactions than most in my specific react niche. I don't overreact, but I also don't say nothing. In fact just like how I am rambling in this comment, I do that in reactions too. Talking about tons of stuff. Of course, relating to what I just watched. I even add a bit of editing to spice it up a lil. The thing is... most do not do this. I respect the ones that can actually bring value to the og vid. Who actually put effort and care into the reactions they make. cuz there are deff a lot that still just sit there and say absolutely nothing and get views for it. don't know why man. I usually click off quick if they start the video and then depending on the length, they get to about 15% of the video or so and have said nothing. so ye. some reactors are good, but that is proib why jinx lost viewers long term. cuz his videos were just not that good.
Dontai looking at his old music really does bring back memories from that 7th-9th grade time for me
Btw Pewdiepie was only mocking the lazy reactors, he wasn't dissing the whole concept in terms of people who actually added input/personality. He adds this in his videos, so he not really a hypocrite
That's the reason everyone was dissing jinx because he puts no efforts in his videos at all. Weird seeing Dontai who actually puts a lot of effort in his content defend him
@@riigoo4714 thats what im saying and then he tried insinuating it was a blm thing like come on lol i be hating that victim shit. Like jinx was fr making more money than some of the actual og creators at one point. He never evolved his reaction videos and that was the main issue
@@riigoo4714 i feel like hes only defending him because they’re friends
@@donmoez6289 same
Fr don't know why he gotta pull up the race card everytime when every other big TH-camr has editors and make the videos better instead of just sitting there like Jinx🤦🏻
I liked Jinx, but all the criticism was totally justified
Also, GradeAUnderA, jacksfilms, Idubbz have made some of the funniest and most creative content youtube has to offer, so no way I’m taking Jinx over them
Lol all those creators are so cringe gradeA is such a looser
I still love BhD till this day. i hope he keeps up the good work
Bhd was genuinely funny. He had more personality than most reactors.
Man was a horrible person but he had personality. Now he’s bland
Man fell off cliff, after all that drama
@@fernandolemus5965wasn't even the drama its the like 6 years of no energy reactions to family guy being the bulk of his content.
Bro I remember BHD's videos. He was so funny. I remember when he would react to weird rap videos about him. I used to have a great time.
Plus dude was like the most active reactor,hed put out 5 to 9 videos a day of funny ass reactions
The way chat reacts to dontais music is how the people at the end of the meme comps wish they would react 💀😭
mAN THE VOICE HE GIVES CHAT sends meeeee every dayum tiiiiiime lol
Shout out my fuckin dawg jinx, the person who made me like reactions
Nahhh Dontai and VI seconds bar spar was so fuckin good. The best time for TH-cam raps facts.
Then they team up was goated
You’re right, people complain when you’re actually giving opinions on reaction videos now.
I remember when Dontai made that video with 3 diss tracks in and I kept listening to the Blasphamous HD one over and over😭
jinx pretty much was the first to put reactions on the map. there were others, but no one was doing it like him.
You had to really be there to watch him back when he was dissing the Batman reactor dude to willpower, to blasphamous to Rashad the reactor and his friend “hightop”. And let’s not forget land of development and early stages lmao. Even if Dontai thinks a couple of his old songs might’ve been bad, it’s so much nostalgia and fun to listen too for the OG subscribers like myself.
lowkey tyrone magnus made reactions popular, i remember back then everyone ranked him number 1. He deserves respect to fr
Were they hating? Yes
Did they have a point about him doing lazy reactions? Also yes
I’m ngl despite all the hating GradeA did, he was making valid points against Jinx but damn.
I will not tolerate anymore GradeA disrespect because of JINX
GradeA is so goofy he hates on other People for a Living his fans are all edgy teenagers
I got nostalgia looking at the rap vids Dontai posted, bar sparring is still my gym workout music
I saw BHD, Reaction time and Dang Matt Smith, but I never saw Jinx 💀
I usually watch reaction channels to see what they are watching or to see a genuine reaction to media news, music, trailers, or things of that nature love you dontai and rage y’all both are my main source for good reactions
At least jinx isn't bhd lmao he was on some crazy shi after he got rid of all his friends. Bhd's old friend Chavez is still posting and getting views. He's even been in some internet historian videos.
I still listen to jinx's music
Bhd crashed OUT Randy really really tried to stay in his life. But it was getting too toxic. And then they were aleging that he's a p*do. And thats real bad.
Man this video took me back to the dontai bucket hat gang days with the ghetto curtain setup in the back LOL
And the trex
The infamous Tiger with the bucket hat.😭
Man yall remember when blast used to be funny as shit and put out like 9 reactions a day all to funny ratchet shit when bhd started his first bhd tv channel. Dude came into the genre on his grind,sad to see where he fell
Bruh first time i heard jinx in like 6 years wow
I think the thing is for me and other people who watch JINX growing up is we enjoy the company of watching a video together and occasionally hearing there thoughts. Yes not every reaction video he made does he have crazy reactions but in a sense that is more realistic. When a video isn’t to a person’s taste i feel like it’s only natural to have less of a reaction compare to what you’re really interested in. It’s a pain to see him not realize this, and spiral down a hole of losing his identity.
jinx is a good 20% of my childhood in middle school
Bro I'm in tears with that oink oink I'm going ham bar ☠️😭😭
The chat just now finding out CJ So Cool & Jinx are brothers....2000 babies
Nah 2010 kids, im a 2000 kid i was watching long before cj joined the channel hell i followed blast before he even posted the first few reaction channels on bhd gaming prior to starting the first bhd tv channel
i watched jinx and that’s how i found dontai. i remember y’all would go live together and chat with fans. dontai the first youtuber i ever spoke to fr 😭
I remember when u had beef with blasphemoushd 😭 good old days
I use to watch jinx on the daily just sad how things turned out but he’s not wrong, when you search Jinx he doesn’t pop up unless you search “Jinx Reaction”
I’m late to say this but Jinx is the Godfather of Reactions. Dontai, Tyrone Magnus and Koollee are the kings of reactions give them their flowers and put some respect on their names.
Fine brothers were. They had millions of subscribers by the time these ppl were even reacting
@@Beebeepbooboopthat was more like a corp/company tho jinx was a regular person
@VHT Spanks They were Jews so ofc they gonna do it big if you know what I mean. But overall they made it so popular with the creative edits, the details and facts about the video or person they reacted to and didn't show a whole video which made people wanna go see the original
Ngl it blows my mind that Jinx is considered to be old school now. For me anything after 2012 feels recent.
loved watching jinx growing up but damn i aint ever knew bruh was getting so much hate.
Dontai glazes jinx for 52 minutes
Grade A is hilarious, he's just over the top. Most of his channel is satirical and the things he "hates" on aren't really meant to be serious. That's why he makes videos on hating almost everything from zoos, to the English alphabet.
He's not being satirical when he's hating on other TH-camrs.
@@luluangelina2923 it’s not really hating when you give valid criticism
@@thugmorantDUDE You can hate and give criticism at the same time that's what he did. Also I don't think calling his brother 'gay' is valid criticism.
@@luluangelina2923 well that’s true but hes most likely not meant to be taken seriously when he does shit like that
@@thugmorantDUDE He should be expected to be taken seriously when making a video criticizing other TH-camrs. It's not like he can't make jokes but Insults like 'gay' and 'stupid' isn't very valid.
so crazy how jinx introduce you to all these TH-camrs that are just trending right now I mean Imdontai, CJ so cool. Jinx was a pioneer and what happened to him was extremely sad. I would say OG TH-cam consumer I was surprised how things turned out, but honestly all love for all the creators here.
