Kwebb is still most def making good money he averages atleast 200k a video he’s still doing good but his content feel off but who cares cuz he’s making bank still
As someone who religiously watched him and his friends for years, it’s sad to see that they moved on from making content that the fans liked to content that made them money. Them turning family friendly was the beginning of the end.
This is what happens when you don't grow with your audience. I used to religiously watch the kwebblekop jelly and slogo trio but that's it, I was 13 back then now I'm 19 and judging by his videos he still makes videos for 13 year olds. 13 year olds now are not the same as 13 year olds back then, they got different tastes and interests.
Even if he kept doing what the fans liked, it wouldn't have lasted. Was he to just ride whatever wave popped up with age groups 8-16 for the next couple decades constantly playing the new kids interests for monetary gain. Nah. This was never going to work. Eventually people get sick of low quality trash. And it doesn't matter how much you dress it up or put a friendly face to it, trash is trash
"I don't do it for the money I do it to make people happy" *proceeds to "industrial age" the process of making videos, to literally spam as many views out of people as physically possible, to make as much money with the smallest amount of effort*
It's modern social media for you. A bunch of child-fleecing, grooming sociopaths using parasocial relationships and parents more and more just abandoning their children to media (and thus the children not being prepared for this at all).

@@homowillis3405 i never stopped my dude, i still revisit old series-es too like TABS or little inferno or amazing frog just to revisit the good ol' days
I watched SSundee all through elementary and into middle school, but then I "grew up" and started to lose interest and watch other channels. I'm in college now, and it makes me happy to see that his channel is still going strong. I also just watched the og sky factory for the first time in like 6 years and HOLY SHIT the nostalgia.
Eventually that will become a thing, it already started with artists, have you seen the art ai can make out of just words? It can even mimic the same art style of anyone you want
I think the scariest thing of being a TH-camr whose fanbase mostly consists out of children is you can't even tell once your fanbase is old enough to the point your content isn't their style. I don't even remember when I fell out with my favorite childhood TH-camrs. One day I watched them, and the next day i didn't. It must be difficult
I mean, that's how I fell out of watching many channels. That being said, there's many where I do go back to their old content and it still holds up. Likely nostlgia talking, but also likely themselves taking a steep decline. My personal example is Nerdcubed. Although I think he's transitioned towards mainly streaming he does upload some videos every so often, and they can be strong hits or lackluster misses. But I watch many of the older vids and they still hold up just fine.
People like pewdiepie and jackspeticeye especially who have managed to transition are pretty impressive fr huh. And markiplier is just a weird rare iconic case. Maybe its when you the creator feel like your growing out of the content u make? Maybe thats when you should start transitioning
as someone who’s watches more youtube than the average person over the years im surprised to have never heard of this guys until charlie talked about him
I admit, I've been a casual observer on the platform almost as long as TH-cam existed. I've seen top content creators up and vanish into obscurity overnight to the most obscure channels that trudge along for years with barely a blip on the radar. And yet, in all that time, I've never even heard of Kwebblekop until now.
I remember Kwebbelkop disassociated with me back in my days of content creation for GTA 5 videos because he surpassed me in subs and views and i was essentially cut out of the circle of networking on skype with other gaming content creators. My channel was removed for 8 months due to a classic tale of youtube screwing their creators over and when i got it back, that 8 months of growth that he and other creators made while i was anxiously waiting to get my channel back, was enough for them to not care about me anymore. Being alienated by my peers was one of the many reasons why i quit I can see how the fame got to kwebbelkop and how it can change you as a person. Ah well lol
@@samanthahughes5590 Yea I'm happy with my life right now. Being in my mid 20s now i can't see myself wanting to be a youtuber anymore lol. Normie life is where it's at
Yeah, TH-cam fame and Hollywood fame is bad. they all want to be around people like them and dis their actual friends and hang around people who are fake, stuck up and almost obnoxious as they are.
The way he presents his business of virtual TH-camrs and how he acts all proud as if this is a good thing and how he keeps flexxing all his riches, he looks like a Disney Channel villain.
Wow I never would’ve thought of that but you’re absolutely right! An adult who makes a bunch of robot channels to get rich and drown out the creative kids. Then the kids team up to defeat the adult. Which would seem like such a dumb fake disney villain but this is real life. What a sad timeline man
Cant explain why but i always disliked him. I remember him coming up in “suggested” while watching early pewdiepie vids way back when. The thumbnails just screamed annoying and insufferable
The sad thing about this is I grew up watching kitty0706...and Dasboschitt...and I never outgrew them even though it feels bad because they stopped making content...kitty for obvious tragic reasons and Dasboschitt because he sort of just vanished...really sad...on a lighter note at least Ross Scott is still committed to doing Freeman's mind all the way through...I love that series
There are plenty of TH-camrs who started out making content for kids but are still relevant. I’m very confident the issue isn’t making kid content. The issue is not evolving/changing their format throughout the years
@@CoOlKyUbI96 Yep pretty much. Some TH-camrs also mature from making kids content and that works out well sometimes. The goal is to make sure your content isn’t stagnant
hes so right when he said "his fanbase just grew up" i used to watch him everyday i got out of school and now i havent thought about him in like 5-6 years
Charlie's staying power is a combination of his inherent gooberness, authenticity about his opinions, and laidback content while still being consistent, which is better for more mature and thus more loyal followers
@@rodimusmaximus3912 have you actually been watching his stuff? He addressed the “Reaction Channel” stuff in a video, and gave his take on it, as well as explaining all the other things he does
@@thundervolt1018 Yes, I've been watching for like 12 years now. I know he does other stuff, but if you look at his channel you'll see that the "reaction" type videos get about 8x as much traffic as stuff like the Moist Meters. It's his most popular content and what he's most known for at this point. I didn't say it was a bad thing, that's up to personal preference. He literally says in that video you mention, verbatim, "My channel has always fundamentally been a react channel."
I completely agree with Charlie about having friends of different ideologies, careers, and backgrounds. surround yourself with people who knowledge, skills, and perspectives you lack, you can help one another grow
@@nahbro3965 its nice to have a mix of both. you need people to believe in your dreams just as much as you need people to call you on your bullshit. a good friend does both.
He was friends with some other lamey gaming TH-camrs back in the day. I was never a fan cause something was off to me even thou I didn't think he was an asshole
A while back one of my friends hit 30k and when he did he decided to “clean” his friends list, which included me and a couple of his close friends. I watched him recently and discovered that all his older friends aren’t in his videos anymore, instead being replaced from some other people that conveniently have big channels
That happened to me with a music producer I looked up to. He got a track signed to a big label and suddenly he was only following like 20 people on Twitter, all people on the label or just giant artists. Sucks to realize you aren’t important enough to be someone’s friend anymore!
@@Pendarr just want to say, that when you get signed there are stipulations in your contract. The producer may not have had control over that once he signed on.
Charlie I'm 42 year old disabled Army Veteran who would actually watch you talk about TH-camrs that I have never heard of or would ever watch. It's because you don't come off as fake or feel you need to flaunt your wealth that you have actually earned. Me and my nephews enjoy your videos because of your commentary and honestly if you became like that I probably would stop watching your videos. I think it's amazing what you have accomplished when most of your videos aren't much more than a webcam and using the same mic that I have myself with some screen captured shots thrown in. I noticed you don't even have to use tags in your video's which says a lot about how much of a presence you have on this platform. You also seem to have a really good eye for talented and skilled players for your Moist eSports venture. Stay the way you are man because you are doing everything right to set your self up for a lifetime of success in whatever you do. I can't see many people being as successful at doing what you do without having your wit and personality.
@@anthonymerchant2597 I actually guessed because you're so old Honestly it's kind of insane because when you guys were born vietnam veterans were like your age and now they're on their way out god bless you bud
@Kavetion Then why don't you have any videos on your channel? I have no problem supporting and helping other small creators but you have to have content on your channel that is worth watching. Just saying you are better than a established creator isn't going to help your channel grow.
At the end of the video Charlie gives kwebbelkop for his mature response, but it's still clear how kwebbelkop is stuck in a ''grindset'', like he has a success addiction. I find it respectable how pewdiepie completely abandoned that approach
Kwebbelkop fell into a category I like to call “Trend followers.” There’s only so much a viewer can take before realizing the content isn’t going to be interesting because it’s just going to be whatever is trending at the moment. Muselk is another good example
Yooo fr him and the group he used to be in they’re GTA race videos were golden and funny asf😂 Sadly, that whole group has become way to PG-13 for their own good
I love the fact that Charlie is so open about how being around like minded people isn't good. You need to see the world from different perspectives if everyone was the same this fucking world would be much worse off than it already is.
I thought of the same thing a while ago when deciding my definition of "friend". (basically a copout for trying to make friends lol) A lot of kids in high school want to be around kids who like the same stuff "oh you like dark souls too? Let's hang out (talk for one time before I discard you because you suck lol)". After being a pro loser and seeing the garbage cans on the internet who like video games, anime, etc (typical antisocial interests I guess...) I realized I definitely do not want to be around cretins who play games. I don't get out enough to meet other people with other interests so it ends up being counter intuitive... Heh. Sorry, for my incoherent rambling...

Kwebblekop's decline on TH-cam is such a shame. I remember watching his GTA races years ago and they were actually entertaining to watch. I guess eventually all great things must come to an end.
10:52 REPLICA is a line from Maison Margiella that was named that due to the names and scents of all the perfumes being a "replication" of romantic and memory filled situations, EX; Beach Walk, When the Rain Stops, Bubble Bath, and Lazy Sunday Morning. -certified perfume nerd
it just goes to show how quickly things can change and riding a wave of success is bound to come crashing down, unless you change yourself or change your audience
And in this situation, you are completely wrong about him Him and whole group changed and started to become children channels, and that’s when they started falling off If they would’ve kept making continent that wasn’t for children and changing their language to better suit children audience this video wouldn’t even be a thing I can guarantee it
@@jackerie You're completely wrong, his primary audience were always children, and he made content primarily for a child audience, which he still does now.
I like Sunny V2's vids because they inform me about the downfall of people I never heard of. _It's like being addicted to hearing about trees falling in the woods and I wasn't there to see it. I LOVE IT!_
this... I've usually NEVER heard of any of the people Sunny talks about. so it's really interesting to hear about stuff outside the very small bubble I live in.
His content is good, but for me he became a quite questionable guy when he made a community post were he essentially defended and praised TechRax, one of most slimy, disgusting and disrespectful youtubers you can find around.
It's really crazy how so many "Kid Friendly" gaming channels just flat out have been falling apart recently. These people haven't change how they make their content over the years and simply think when these kids grow up, new kids will take their place. But what many don't realize is what worked for the previous generation doesn't always work for the next, TH-camrs need to constantly shift how they make content to survive, and there are very few that don't need to because of a dedicated fanbase. Kwebblekop however is an example of how your own personal feelings and changes in your friendships, business partners, and content so much in such a short amount of time will inevitably ruin you, and the sad part is that his friends are still very successful, and he threw them away trying to change. Now he's become essentially another Ricegum, constantly flexing all the money he's made over the years and spending it on things he doesn't need, getting into NFT scams and fragmenting his time so much his main channel is now dying. Let this be a lesson to all, don't become a Kwebblekop, don't think that massively changing your content in such a short period of time will work, Cause it doesn't. Don't think buying all these items and luxuries will make those losses go away, they won't. And, most of all, don't fragment your time and money into pointless amounts of editors and other projects you may never finish, cause in the end that's just time and money wasted, there's a reason some of the biggest TH-camrs only have 2-3 editors and not over 10.
@@absolutegarbage3654 eh a bit of a faulty analogy. I'll do you one better: there's no kids to drink the milk, they all moved on to meat for protein, and oranges for calcium
the way kwebblekop said he wants to be like minded with every youtuber is exactly how actors are, small minded, and in their own bubble. (not every actor but a good portion)
@@originaljoke-y5f oh yeah there are some actors that are pedos, cannibal (??) its crazy but im an aspiring actor so i was like ehh i dont think actors r like that except for THOSE typa actors
It's insane how shallow this guy is. He turned into a child himself by making all the content for children. "I'm running a company with idk how many employees". You don't know how many employees your own company has..? And you're saying it like it's a good thing..?
I remember watching him a lot between 2013-2016 and he legit had pretty good content, he constantly would think of new concepts in his videos that no other GTA 5 youtuber would think of, and that made him famous alongside being in his gaming group. You don't need to edit a million times in a video to make it good if the content is boring and repetitive, which most family friendly gaming youtubers don't understand. It only works for so long, until even the kids with the shortest attention spans grow up and leave.
"I dont know why people would only want to be surrounded by likeminded people" It's a defense mechanism - it shows they're used to constantly being surrounded by conflict and they're exhausted. Being surrounded by likeminded people gives them a sense of assurance that they're actually doing things right after being constantly bombarded with the notion that they're constantly wrong
Honestly with how you said this, it feels like something I could relate to. Just the desire to feel a little bit of assurance and validation. But at the same time I’d still want some people to call me when I get overdramatic.
I can understand this. I dissociate with a group of people that constantly bombarding me (and everyone around them) for years. It was mentally exhaustive. I rest through entire pandemic period by myself since i'm just so burned out for socialization. Eventually I running into some like minded people that will tolerate and support me now; I'm happier than ever. I welcome a clash of idea from time to time but prolong conflict is just too much for me if not for anyone else.
I've always seen "high energy" content as the audio/visual equivalent of having someone repeatedly mock you and throw their fingers in your face. If I never have to hear " H E Y W H A T S U P G U Y S ! I T S C U C K H O L D G A M I N G ! " again in my life, it will be too soon.
Having those kinds of intros pop up every once in awhile in your feed after not hearing them for years is a breath of fresh air, but you only really want to hear them once no matter how long it's been since you last heard them. Like dusting off an old book that you realize you were forced to read back in high school and hate it because of that.
This is the life of a youtuber, you peak for the entire youth of a generation but once they mature the content grows old. Stampy is the best example of this
True, but I think that stampy deserves respect, as far as I know he hasn't tried to recreate his success or anything, and I think it's far less sad when you consider that not everyone wants to chase that high forever. If you understand the short time you have to make an impact, you make it count and realise that the feeling isn't locked behind fame, but that it's something you can carve out for yourself in any path in life.
The funny thing is, stampy's content actually has so many adult-related jokes within his content that NONE of us realised back in the day because we simply didn't understand, he was able to turn his adult humour into fun content for kids, which is kinda crazy
Man thank you for reminding me of Stanpylonghead, I used to watch his Minecraft videos constantly back when I was like 11 or something and I actually forgot about him. Then I saw your comment and got curious and searched his name. Man, time flies so fast! I feel bad for forgetting his existence
I have never liked the "flexing" thing. Always reminded me of specific people from when I was in high school who where incredibly shallow. Think most people know those types. The ones who basically get everything handed to them and the only thing that matters to them is what object costs and appearances.. Most of the time these people end up in horrible places once they finally get out there in life. ( At least, about 86% of the ones I knew who where like that ended up in places like that.. I did try to help one person who was a little nice to me at times but I kind of regretted it.. The person did not learn from things and their attitude from back then came right back.. ) Part of me wants to blame the parents but at the same time its not fully their doing. Could they have probably curbed some of that, yea.. But they wanted to dote onto their children. Something I can understand. You always want your children to end up in a better position than you where at the same age.. But sometimes its not the best thing to do for said children. TLDR Sometimes giving children what you did not have when growing up is not exactly the best way of doing things.. As they will sometimes end up coming some of the worst people to exist.
Something I love about Charlie is that aside from curls and cards, Charlie doesn't really flex. Even though we all know he could if he wanted to. His relatability is one of his strongest draws.
Maybe not relatability but just acting like any other normal person (not acting like he’s above everyone etc) and being humble in a way. A very grounded person
@@DoodilyDoo something I heard him say recently came to mind when I read this. Charlie said " I treat my channel like my own personal journal, a sort of diary"
10:52 the cologne “replica” is a designer cologne its named replica because it replicates a certain scent, its brand is maison margiela that makes the colognes “replica”
Being and old git in his fifties, to me it seems like the old story - when you're a "product" that is geared towards a younger market, they simply grow up. Even if your tack somewhat changes it's really hard to shake that. And the drop off is pretty colossal. It's often around 90%. History often shows this, especially when you look up at musical acts from the 1960s to even today.
Yeah, but it’s possible to grow with your audience, but some youtubers don’t do that and eventually kids don’t want to watch the same kind of content, so many Minecraft TH-camrs fell of after getting millions because of this
1:30 that’s a real hot take now. More and more ppl don’t like and or are afraid of conflict, so having a friend with different views from you will eventually inflict in conflict, which ppl fear. Now having same minded friends aren’t bad either, I wanna be an actor, I had a bunch of theater friends who thought alike, so we help eachother. My bestfriend wants to be a rapper, same entertainment field, we can sort of help eachother. So there’s nothing wrong with that, but I personally do not mind having friends of different minds, bc I love conflict, I love debates, and I love deep conversations, and a lot of ppl aren’t like that at all.
I’ve said the same thing. I personally enjoy engaging with folks who have different views and life paths but are open minded. People who can agree to disagree without getting upset or hating each other. Having differences are fine, but respecting peoples differences is even better. Btw I’m starting to feel old despite me being only 23 cause I have no idea who this guy is and I watch TH-cam more than tv.
you shouldnt have to be around people whose inherent worldview is awful. . thats not a difference you need to respect. people who are bigoted, anti-abortion, or mean spirited, basically just anything like that which affects other people. its completely fine to cut someone like that out of your life and to ''get upset over''. im bringing this up because your comment touches on getting upset and hating someone, which doesnt really happen with normal people until it gets to that point. i could respect someone who is pro-choice but just personally against abortion. but i cut you out of my life the moment you think your personal choices/opinions means you think you have a right to affect someone else. and... i could totally see kwebbelkop trying to force his friends into this kind of mindset, so i can see why they dont wanna be around him. his weird ''all AI youtube empire'' would be bad to the whole platform.
14:44 "humans making videos is such a problem & not scalable so instead of having 1 person making content themselves, simply, we'll have a WHOLE TEAM of people who will make videos, make a script & customize a virtual character to be animated to the script & $h!t" yeah. so simple...
@@princenoreally I stopped watching him after he made that weird religious video trying to convert his audience when he was going through relationship issues with Madeline. I'm glad I did because his content has taken a nosedive since then it seems. What about his channel keeps you watching?
all i know about this guy is... that woman was just "dating him for the views..." or what ever everyone said back in the day! iam not suprised about what happend to him!!!
I remembered watching the kwebbelkop/slogoman/jelly trio every day when i was 12-14, but i stopped somewhere down the line and forgot about them. It's really just about shifting interests and seeing their names brought back a lot of memories
I grew up watching these three. They were absolutely hilarious back in their prime. Sad to see them fall off like this, but people grow up. I simply grew out of them.
See, I feel like the problem with many TH-camrs is that they don't grow with their viewerbase. Like not everybody stays 10 forever you know, at a certain point you just stop watching people and move on to others. You can still appeal to the younger audience while also appealing to the older audience at the same time.
1:20 ... I want just ONE like-minded friend. I need friends in my own industry and I've got none. I can't imagine how good it must feel for someone else to think similarly and like the same things, but I've never had that, so my guess is that it just.. feels good to have people who you can talk about things with
I was actually in a long-distance relationship with someone for... Probably 6 years. It took us that long to save up the money for him to move to the US so we could get properly married. Long-distance relationships are hard, and we had more than a few bumps along that road, but I still believe it was worth every bit of it.
I didn't really know who Kwebblekop is, but he seems like a mad scientist, obssesive, and controlling. I bet you he would upload his entire mind into the tron universe if he could,
Well I used to watch him in his prime days everything you explained he wasn’t he was just a basic TH-camr with a large following but didn’t come off has hateful or controlling
Charlie, I don’t give a single damn about any of the topics you ever talk about. But I absolutely love to listen to you talk about things!

I literally experienced the "kids grow up" while watching all 3 of these guys before high school i just randomly forgot about them and moved on forgot completely about them
I hope that people are starting to realize that long-term streaming isn't something that you should bank everything on. It can flip so fast, and sure there's gonna be some people who probably do end up streaming successfully for a couple decades but that's gonna be very rare I think.
well actually in that regard kwebbelkop is doing great because he is focussing his attention away from streaming, hence all his videos are just crap that you can record in 15 minutes. he actually starts several busnisses. i think in the long run he'll be better off if some of his projects hit it off
1:18 this statement right here is legendary, i've met so many people who wanted to be surrounded by yesmen, the moment i had a different opinion than theirs, they started to crap on me and then later on removed me from their life. it's sad, because i liked being around them, but other than that, people really gotta open up to other people who have different interests and shit so they can learn from them and experience different things.
It's amazing to me how so many on TH-cam with millions of subs like this one and the one you mentioned I have never heard of and I been on TH-cam a long time. Honestly I feel like TH-cam is shadow banning some creators every since Google bought it.
Nah it's probably not even that. You know how you watch one video slightly outside your usual wheelhouse and youtube starts flooding you with nothing but that? I feel something similar is happening here where there exist thousand fairly self contained bubbles where youtube generally only recs one type of content.
I was shocked at how many subs they had. I hadn’t heard of a single one of them either. I’m guessing they must’ve been focused on a very specific age group and then that age group just moved on. Ninja kinda had the same thing happen to him.
As a preteen I used to watch the trio a lot back in 2017-18 and I loved it! I’d say while their content was probably mainly consumed by like 11-14year olds I’m sure there were people in their early 20s watching too because at the time their content appealed more to that demographic. However, around mid 2019 I noticed that after their split from kwebblekop they mainly started making videos for kids around the ages of 7-10. This was a horrible move coming from them as their audience was growing up and wouldn’t want to watch highly censored content that in my opinion started to feel fake. Personally this is where I hoped off as a viewer and when looking at view counts it is clear that many others did too. Definitely does suck cause I really did enjoy watching those guys but I guess everything evolves at some point. Still wish the best to them tho👍
Kwebblekop basically took the concept of quantity over quality, except he eventually forgot to do either of them.
he didnt forgot anything he just got other interests making millions in real estate
He just didn't study youtube that much tbh,he should read more articles
You have NO CLUE. This has nothing to do with popularity. The idiot was buying massive amounts of views. TONS. TH-cam cracked down on that. It is EXACTLY what happened.
Quantity of fake views bro......FAKE EFFING VIEWS>
Kwebb is still most def making good money he averages atleast 200k a video he’s still doing good but his content feel off but who cares cuz he’s making bank still
@Mason he didn’t copy you content kid
As someone who religiously watched him and his friends for years, it’s sad to see that they moved on from making content that the fans liked to content that made them money. Them turning family friendly was the beginning of the end.
This is what happens when you don't grow with your audience. I used to religiously watch the kwebblekop jelly and slogo trio but that's it, I was 13 back then now I'm 19 and judging by his videos he still makes videos for 13 year olds. 13 year olds now are not the same as 13 year olds back then, they got different tastes and interests.

@norolover lmao
I mean, that's how I fell out of watching many channels. That being said, there's many where I do go back to their old content and it still holds up. Likely nostlgia talking, but also likely themselves taking a steep decline.
My personal example is Nerdcubed. Although I think he's transitioned towards mainly streaming he does upload some videos every so often, and they can be strong hits or lackluster misses. But I watch many of the older vids and they still hold up just fine.
Happened to me with dantdm
People like pewdiepie and jackspeticeye especially who have managed to transition are pretty impressive fr huh. And markiplier is just a weird rare iconic case. Maybe its when you the creator feel like your growing out of the content u make? Maybe thats when you should start transitioning
as someone who’s watches more youtube than the average person over the years im surprised to have never heard of this guys until charlie talked about him
I admit, I've been a casual observer on the platform almost as long as TH-cam existed. I've seen top content creators up and vanish into obscurity overnight to the most obscure channels that trudge along for years with barely a blip on the radar. And yet, in all that time, I've never even heard of Kwebblekop until now.
Same.
With the creation and popularity of Tik Tok and other social media I’ve seen a lot of bigger TH-camrs looks massive amount of views.
Reminded me of asian jake paul
His fanbase was kids, so unless you were a kid in the 2010's doubt you would know him.
@@mrjohnnyk Thanks for clearing that up, explains a lot lol.
I remember Kwebbelkop disassociated with me back in my days of content creation for GTA 5 videos because he surpassed me in subs and views and i was essentially cut out of the circle of networking on skype with other gaming content creators. My channel was removed for 8 months due to a classic tale of youtube screwing their creators over and when i got it back, that 8 months of growth that he and other creators made while i was anxiously waiting to get my channel back, was enough for them to not care about me anymore. Being alienated by my peers was one of the many reasons why i quit

Yeah, TH-cam fame and Hollywood fame is bad. they all want to be around people like them and dis their actual friends and hang around people who are fake, stuck up and almost obnoxious as they are.
The way he presents his business of virtual TH-camrs and how he acts all proud as if this is a good thing and how he keeps flexxing all his riches, he looks like a Disney Channel villain.
Wow I never would’ve thought of that but you’re absolutely right! An adult who makes a bunch of robot channels to get rich and drown out the creative kids. Then the kids team up to defeat the adult.
Which would seem like such a dumb fake disney villain but this is real life. What a sad timeline man

Charlie I'm 42 year old disabled Army Veteran who would actually watch you talk about TH-camrs that I have never heard of or would ever watch.

I think it's amazing what you have accomplished when most of your videos aren't much more than a webcam and using the same mic that I have myself with some screen captured shots thrown in.

I thought of the same thing a while ago when deciding my definition of "friend". (basically a copout for trying to make friends lol)
A lot of kids in high school want to be around kids who like the same stuff "oh you like dark souls too? Let's hang out (talk for one time before I discard you because you suck lol)".
After being a pro loser and seeing the garbage cans on the internet who like video games, anime, etc (typical antisocial interests I guess...) I realized I definitely do not want to be around cretins who play games. I don't get out enough to meet other people with other interests so it ends up being counter intuitive... Heh.

His content is good, but for me he became a quite questionable guy when he made a community post were he essentially defended and praised TechRax, one of most slimy, disgusting and disrespectful youtubers you can find around.
Sunny lost my respect when he "exposed" Skeppy for trying to profit off the death of Technoblade.
9:52 I find the penthouse thumbnail funny because it makes me think Kweb's a prisoner with that orange outfit who broke in to brag about it.
It's really crazy how so many "Kid Friendly" gaming channels just flat out have been falling apart recently. These people haven't change how they make their content over the years and simply think when these kids grow up, new kids will take their place. But what many don't realize is what worked for the previous generation doesn't always work for the next, TH-camrs need to constantly shift how they make content to survive, and there are very few that don't need to because of a dedicated fanbase.
Kwebblekop however is an example of how your own personal feelings and changes in your friendships, business partners, and content so much in such a short amount of time will inevitably ruin you, and the sad part is that his friends are still very successful, and he threw them away trying to change. Now he's become essentially another Ricegum, constantly flexing all the money he's made over the years and spending it on things he doesn't need, getting into NFT scams and fragmenting his time so much his main channel is now dying.
Let this be a lesson to all, don't become a Kwebblekop, don't think that massively changing your content in such a short period of time will work, Cause it doesn't. Don't think buying all these items and luxuries will make those losses go away, they won't. And, most of all, don't fragment your time and money into pointless amounts of editors and other projects you may never finish, cause in the end that's just time and money wasted, there's a reason some of the biggest TH-camrs only have 2-3 editors and not over 10.
Wtf are you on?

I remember watching him a lot between 2013-2016 and he legit had pretty good content, he constantly would think of new concepts in his videos that no other GTA 5 youtuber would think of, and that made him famous alongside being in his gaming group. You don't need to edit a million times in a video to make it good if the content is boring and repetitive, which most family friendly gaming youtubers don't understand. It only works for so long, until even the kids with the shortest attention spans grow up and leave.
I think it was just how funny that group was between and jelly and stuff through their early days in gta v
there old content Slaps I still rewatch it and i'm sixteen
He sounds like a supervillain explaining to the hero his plan for total world domination by making an army of robots as the next evolution in content.

Also Charlie: Is that a Star Wars blaster?
"I dont know why people would only want to be surrounded by likeminded people"
It's a defense mechanism - it shows they're used to constantly being surrounded by conflict and they're exhausted. Being surrounded by likeminded people gives them a sense of assurance that they're actually doing things right after being constantly bombarded with the notion that they're constantly wrong
Honestly with how you said this, it feels like something I could relate to. Just the desire to feel a little bit of assurance and validation. But at the same time I’d still want some people to call me when I get overdramatic.
I can understand this. I dissociate with a group of people that constantly bombarding me (and everyone around them) for years. It was mentally exhaustive. I rest through entire pandemic period by myself since i'm just so burned out for socialization. Eventually I running into some like minded people that will tolerate and support me now; I'm happier than ever. I welcome a clash of idea from time to time but prolong conflict is just too much for me if not for anyone else.
Damn ._.
If you watched his draw my life video, he actually had a pretty shitty family growing up, so that might be a factor into this
We call that insecurity where im from
I've always seen "high energy" content as the audio/visual equivalent of having someone repeatedly mock you and throw their fingers in your face.
If I never have to hear " H E Y W H A T S U P G U Y S ! I T S C U C K H O L D G A M I N G ! " again in my life, it will be too soon.
tbh
I'd feel pretty gross too if I had to act intentionally obnoxious in order to appeal to an audience.
Having those kinds of intros pop up every once in awhile in your feed after not hearing them for years is a breath of fresh air, but you only really want to hear them once no matter how long it's been since you last heard them. Like dusting off an old book that you realize you were forced to read back in high school and hate it because of that.
This is the life of a youtuber, you peak for the entire youth of a generation but once they mature the content grows old. Stampy is the best example of this
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
True, but I think that stampy deserves respect, as far as I know he hasn't tried to recreate his success or anything, and I think it's far less sad when you consider that not everyone wants to chase that high forever. If you understand the short time you have to make an impact, you make it count and realise that the feeling isn't locked behind fame, but that it's something you can carve out for yourself in any path in life.
The funny thing is, stampy's content actually has so many adult-related jokes within his content that NONE of us realised back in the day because we simply didn't understand, he was able to turn his adult humour into fun content for kids, which is kinda crazy
Man thank you for reminding me of Stanpylonghead, I used to watch his Minecraft videos constantly back when I was like 11 or something and I actually forgot about him. Then I saw your comment and got curious and searched his name. Man, time flies so fast! I feel bad for forgetting his existence
Except that Stampy isn't the bad TH-camr. His content remained the same but he didn't fell into the same path as Kweb nor just as powerful as Dream.
damn it really shows the difference between growing with your audience and doing the exact opposite
I have never liked the "flexing" thing. Always reminded me of specific people from when I was in high school who where incredibly shallow. Think most people know those types. The ones who basically get everything handed to them and the only thing that matters to them is what object costs and appearances.. Most of the time these people end up in horrible places once they finally get out there in life. ( At least, about 86% of the ones I knew who where like that ended up in places like that.. I did try to help one person who was a little nice to me at times but I kind of regretted it.. The person did not learn from things and their attitude from back then came right back.. )
Part of me wants to blame the parents but at the same time its not fully their doing. Could they have probably curbed some of that, yea.. But they wanted to dote onto their children. Something I can understand. You always want your children to end up in a better position than you where at the same age.. But sometimes its not the best thing to do for said children.
TLDR
Sometimes giving children what you did not have when growing up is not exactly the best way of doing things.. As they will sometimes end up coming some of the worst people to exist.
Bet those people were wearing Supreme 😂

Being and old git in his fifties, to me it seems like the old story - when you're a "product" that is geared towards a younger market, they simply grow up. Even if your tack somewhat changes it's really hard to shake that.
And the drop off is pretty colossal. It's often around 90%. History often shows this, especially when you look up at musical acts from the 1960s to even today.

1:30 that’s a real hot take now. More and more ppl don’t like and or are afraid of conflict, so having a friend with different views from you will eventually inflict in conflict, which ppl fear. Now having same minded friends aren’t bad either, I wanna be an actor, I had a bunch of theater friends who thought alike, so we help eachother. My bestfriend wants to be a rapper, same entertainment field, we can sort of help eachother. So there’s nothing wrong with that, but I personally do not mind having friends of different minds, bc I love conflict, I love debates, and I love deep conversations, and a lot of ppl aren’t like that at all.
I’ve said the same thing. I personally enjoy engaging with folks who have different views and life paths but are open minded. People who can agree to disagree without getting upset or hating each other. Having differences are fine, but respecting peoples differences is even better.
Btw I’m starting to feel old despite me being only 23 cause I have no idea who this guy is and I watch TH-cam more than tv.
you shouldnt have to be around people whose inherent worldview is awful. . thats not a difference you need to respect. people who are bigoted, anti-abortion, or mean spirited, basically just anything like that which affects other people. its completely fine to cut someone like that out of your life and to ''get upset over''. im bringing this up because your comment touches on getting upset and hating someone, which doesnt really happen with normal people until it gets to that point.
i could respect someone who is pro-choice but just personally against abortion. but i cut you out of my life the moment you think your personal choices/opinions means you think you have a right to affect someone else.
and... i could totally see kwebbelkop trying to force his friends into this kind of mindset, so i can see why they dont wanna be around him. his weird ''all AI youtube empire'' would be bad to the whole platform.
14:44 "humans making videos is such a problem & not scalable so instead of having 1 person making content themselves, simply, we'll have a WHOLE TEAM of people who will make videos, make a script & customize a virtual character to be animated to the script & $h!t"
yeah. so simple...
11:29 I’ve started to pick up that when people say “I *GENUINELY* don’t (insert thing they are denying)” they are usually lying
ehhh idk i always say genuinely in that context when im not lying lol :/ i just like the word genuinely!
@@tabbykat8564 then it’s different for you, because that’s just your speech pattern and style of speaking
SSundee needs to be recognized for how long he’s stayed relevant through gameplays
Agreed I've watched SSundee when I was a little kid I've grown up watching him and now my nephew and nieces watch SSundee
Oh, you mean the other clickbait TH-camr that makes trash content for idiots? Yeah totally
only true ogs remember
True, but he makes bad content now
@@princenoreally I stopped watching him after he made that weird religious video trying to convert his audience when he was going through relationship issues with Madeline. I'm glad I did because his content has taken a nosedive since then it seems. What about his channel keeps you watching?
9:17 that's the happiest I've ever seen Charlie
Expect when he was laughing at his drawing
I'm proud to say i didn't knew a sliver of information about this guy's existence before watching the video
all i know about this guy is... that woman was just "dating him for the views..." or what ever everyone said back in the day! iam not suprised about what happend to him!!!
@@Judas1911WR1 didnt ask
God damn it Charlie here being like "3 and a half year long distance, thats history" and I'm over here at almost 5 crying

What happened as a fan for all three in the beginning, is that they went for the younger audience instead of sticking with what they had
I remembered watching the kwebbelkop/slogoman/jelly trio every day when i was 12-14, but i stopped somewhere down the line and forgot about them. It's really just about shifting interests and seeing their names brought back a lot of memories
I grew up watching these three. They were absolutely hilarious back in their prime. Sad to see them fall off like this, but people grow up. I simply grew out of them.
They were never funny. You just had bad taste.
@@BobPapadopoulos They didn't have their PG13 filter back then
@@BobPapadopoulos dunno man, 2017 humor is different than 2022.
Yup dude! I loved watching them everyday after 7-8th grade but overtime it just changed
@@BobPapadopoulos cringe
Side Note:
I hope Charlie and his family & friends are safe and well during Hurricane Ian!
The storm did a pretty sharp curve around the Tampa Bay area last minute so if his place is anything like mine he may not have even lost power.
Subtle rain for me.
Well not subtle but not harsh either.
@@Rynjinivar the storm didnt even wanna go there 😂
My name in real life is Ian so anytime I go anywhere my friends keep asking why I hate Florida and North Carolina lmao

his absolutely lack of self awareness is so hilarious to watch lmao, he presents bad idea as if its the best thing ever is so funny
See, I feel like the problem with many TH-camrs is that they don't grow with their viewerbase. Like not everybody stays 10 forever you know, at a certain point you just stop watching people and move on to others. You can still appeal to the younger audience while also appealing to the older audience at the same time.
From these snippets, this guy reminds me of those kids with parents that hype them up like crazy and as a result end up with unjustified inflated egos
1:20 ... I want just ONE like-minded friend. I need friends in my own industry and I've got none. I can't imagine how good it must feel for someone else to think similarly and like the same things, but I've never had that, so my guess is that it just.. feels good to have people who you can talk about things with
I was actually in a long-distance relationship with someone for... Probably 6 years. It took us that long to save up the money for him to move to the US so we could get properly married. Long-distance relationships are hard, and we had more than a few bumps along that road, but I still believe it was worth every bit of it.
10:22 this laughter type is basically a sign that your joke was slapping
I didn't really know who Kwebblekop is, but he seems like a mad scientist, obssesive, and controlling. I bet you he would upload his entire mind into the tron universe if he could,
I mean..it's Tron man.. digital jazz and all that
@@imbetterlol1670 you don’t have content
I AM THE BEEST YOUUTUBER YOU'RE ALL TRAASH COMPARED TO ME IM THE BEEST 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
You have a goofy and wacky opinion.
Well I used to watch him in his prime days everything you explained he wasn’t he was just a basic TH-camr with a large following but didn’t come off has hateful or controlling
Charlie, I don’t give a single damn about any of the topics you ever talk about. But I absolutely love to listen to you talk about things!
You have such an in-depth manner of speaking with quick witted jokes always delivered in perfect timing.
Thank you so much for being here, being you, and doing what you do
Got us in the first half ngl
what an opener
I feel the same way 🤣

10:04 hearing charlie show emotion makes him sound like an entirely different person
8:25 youtube has a bad habit of NOT showing you the channel you actual typed in, it's maddening
"i cant understand people who only want to be friends with like minded people"- charlie, the same guy who hung out and made videos with 4 or 5 other Charlies (just to let you know this is a joke and is only meant to br funny and light hearted not a complaint)
my vocabulary grows with every video charlie puts out. mans a god damn thesaurus of words that go heavily unused by this generation
Hearing Charlie say "3 years must be the world record for a long distance relationship" while being in an LDR for 4 years makes me feel elite :')
Oooft yikes.. I wonder who’s cheated on who and how much longer your both going to waste on something that’ll never work.
@@Conssumed keep your trust issues to yourself, our relationship is happy and healthy. We see each other in person every month and he's moving in with me by February of next year, so I'd say we're better off than you probably ever will be.
@@yokaitoybox7649 I wish I had that, mine did what the comment above said and cheated lmaooo. But big W for you. Hope y'all stay together fr
@@ethanfuego9648 I'm sorry that sucks and no one deserves that. :( I hope you found happiness and healing, whatever that looks like to you. And thank you, honestly we would've already been living together if 2020 didn't butt fuck all our plans lol
@@yokaitoybox7649 thank you, I appreciate it. I've been trying still, to find happiness and healing. Been tough but I'm trying haha. And man fuck 2020 fr fr. Hope yall move in together soon
I literally experienced the "kids grow up" while watching all 3 of these guys before high school i just randomly forgot about them and moved on forgot completely about them
Who tf is pebblecock?
😂
S-tier comment
Lol
charlie will never fall because he'll always have someone to make fun of.
I hope that people are starting to realize that long-term streaming isn't something that you should bank everything on. It can flip so fast, and sure there's gonna be some people who probably do end up streaming successfully for a couple decades but that's gonna be very rare I think.
well actually in that regard kwebbelkop is doing great because he is focussing his attention away from streaming, hence all his videos are just crap that you can record in 15 minutes. he actually starts several busnisses. i think in the long run he'll be better off if some of his projects hit it off
@1:35 this reminds me of that spongebob episode where squidward is teleported to a universe where only living being is squidwards
1:18 this statement right here is legendary, i've met so many people who wanted to be surrounded by yesmen, the moment i had a different opinion than theirs, they started to crap on me and then later on removed me from their life. it's sad, because i liked being around them, but other than that, people really gotta open up to other people who have different interests and shit so they can learn from them and experience different things.
It's amazing to me how so many on TH-cam with millions of subs like this one and the one you mentioned I have never heard of and I been on TH-cam a long time. Honestly I feel like TH-cam is shadow banning some creators every since Google bought it.
Nah it's probably not even that. You know how you watch one video slightly outside your usual wheelhouse and youtube starts flooding you with nothing but that? I feel something similar is happening here where there exist thousand fairly self contained bubbles where youtube generally only recs one type of content.
I was shocked at how many subs they had. I hadn’t heard of a single one of them either. I’m guessing they must’ve been focused on a very specific age group and then that age group just moved on. Ninja kinda had the same thing happen to him.
13:37 That's an actual supervillain speaking.
high evolutionary type shit bro
Buddy is not doctor eggman
Bro the cut at 15:32 was way too perfect 😭
I pray to never see a video by sunny titled why Penguinz0 lost 90% of his audience that would be the worst day on youtube
As a preteen I used to watch the trio a lot back in 2017-18 and I loved it!
I’d say while their content was probably mainly consumed by like 11-14year olds I’m sure there were people in their early 20s watching too because at the time their content appealed more to that demographic.
However, around mid 2019 I noticed that after their split from kwebblekop they mainly started making videos for kids around the ages of 7-10.
This was a horrible move coming from them as their audience was growing up and wouldn’t want to watch highly censored content that in my opinion started to feel fake.
Personally this is where I hoped off as a viewer and when looking at view counts it is clear that many others did too.
Definitely does suck cause I really did enjoy watching those guys but I guess everything evolves at some point. Still wish the best to them tho👍
Same. It all went downhill when Jordi left and crainer came, and now they've even gotten rid of crainer. Their videos are boring as hell now
