Health Update - I Lost Everything… 

I like this channel, but I’m just curious why an almost 3 Million subscriber channel needs only $15k. Like that’s a small amount of cash, especially for someone who should make WAY more than that in a month. Especially with 10s of thousands dollars in equipment behind him/in his place. No hate, honesty just curious.

Remember when Austin's house burned down? Remember what Jon did when that happened? I genuinely hope some creators step up and help him. He needs it, and he's a man of character that simply deserves it.

You've been a solid friend to me for over a decade, and I will be here to support you 100%. Talk to you soon. 🙏🏾

So sorry to hear about everything you've been through man. Good to hear you're on the way to recovery ❤

Wish you a speedy recovery Jonathan, all the best.

Hey Jonathan, I've been watching your videos for years. I'm the Creative Director at Bernell Corporation (Vision Training Products). I saw a few of our products (red/green glasses and GTVT charts) in your video during your neuro-rehab sessions. I love to see that they make a difference for patients. There's a Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation doctor I'd like to refer you to if you'd be interested. I'll message you privately about it. Take care.

As someone who has cerebral palsy bound to a wheelchair and has been struggling with fatigue and not being able to do life and nobody can tell me what’s going on with me I totally get your story and it’s helping me right now

Your video broke me. Most of us wouldn’t be anywhere nearly the creators we are without you. Miss you, appreciate you, donated, and sending you perpetual love and support!

Get well soon! Please don't feel like you've let others down. Some things are just out of your control.

As a General practitioner doctor , The amount of knowledge that he talk about like the function of the nerve and the disease shows how much he has been struggling , researching and trying to make sense of all of this is unreal .

Hey Jonathan. I have been living with Keratoconus for I don’t know how long. Impairment in vision is extremely frustrating until its treated. But I cannot imagine how you have managed to fight through the loss of memory and motor functions. I don’t think you’re gonna have to start from 0 when it comes to your RU-vid career. You’ve been far ahead in the game than most RU-vidrs who are still dabbling with random stuff to have an audience. You’re authentic! RU-vid can never be what it has been without you. I love you brother. You’re gonna get through this. That 60% will be a 100 very very soon! ❤️❤️

Man. Can't even begin to describe the last 10 months but I appreciate you listening

Feel better man, God bless and best wishes to your health’s continued improvement and future success!

Get well Jonathan! You will succeed. I pray for you.

You'll be fine. You are a strong person Jon. All the best from Poland!🤛

He’s BACK!!! I’m so sorry you went through all of this Jonathan, but you’re a fighter and you GOT THIS! Wishing you a speedy and full recovery!

3:00 Holy shit, a similar happened to me. I was driving home from work, needed to take a left at a stoplight, but ... couldn't figure out how you turn left. I'm looking in that direction, I've driven this route hundreds if not thousands of times, but I can't figure out what actions I need to do to make my car go from here to there. The cars behind me are honking, I'm freaking out, I'm crying. Finally I just floor it and keep driving forward. I can barely see anything through my tears, but I finally turned right down a street, and then (pure lunacy) I did a series of right turns throughout the city until I got home, and then just sat in my car crying for a long time. My brain legitimately lost the concept of "turning left". It's absolutely insane that that can just happen.

Brother, thank you for sharing your story with us. I can only imagine everything thing you’ve gone through but I’m happy that things are improving. It means so much to me and my RU-vid partner that our videos were a small glimmer of light during a dark time. We wish you all the best.

Wish you a speedy recovery! It takes courage to pick yourself up and not give up, continuously putting efforts to get better, to find help, to then be committed to the treatment even if it’s tough! God bless you and your family, may you find even more help, and the best solutions that give you a permanent recovery! You’ve been super strong and you will only get stronger! Lots of love, healing energies, positive thoughts your way❤🙏🏻

So good to hear from you again. You’re looking so much better than the last video and glad you’re getting some relief and help from quality doctors. Between creators , and companies we got you.

You've inspired me to start my own channel, back in 2011! And obviously, that massively changed my life. You're one of the true tech OGs! You're an incredible tech creator and one that truly inspired hundreds of other creators! You deserve all the very best! We're all here for you! Both as creators and as viewers! 🙏🏻

Hoping you get to 100%

Best of luck to you, Jonathan. I wish you a speedy recovery.

It''s so good to see your face!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jonathan. I’ve enjoyed your work and so this feels like a small gesture. I also left something on your GFM page. I hope Apple reach out to you but don’t let that stop you giving them some constructive criticism when you’re all better. You can do it! Wishing you well from the UK.

I grow up watching and admiring you. I’m so happy you are improving. Sending you a big big hug man!

I've been jobless for more than 2 years which feels awful. Hearing this story really makes me realise how much I take for granted.

So sorry to hear this. I just became a paraplegic in August because of a car accident and I can empathize with your experience. I don't know where I'd be without the support of my wife and my community thru this nightmare. It's so great that you were able to find some improvement and relief. I hope you find some more peace thru all this hell, brother.

Jonathan, I have so much empathy for you. Let's acknowledge the bravery of vulnerability in sharing what you have been going through. Keep staying strong as you have so far. Put it all in the hands of God because nothing is impossible for him and with faith you'll get through this and be a testimony and inspiration for others. Sending you a warm hug brother. We, the people in the internet are coming together and are with you. Cheers

Just wanted to update some quick words and a thank you. I am beyond blown away with the response to everything

Sucks to see anyone going through this type of pain. Keep your head up and Stay Strong. You won’t be the last to go through this so be the inspiration to those in the future. Can’t wait for you to get back to creating content and doing the things that you Enjoy.

I wish you a speedy recovery! My grandmother also suffers from cervical spine problems. I hope that all the people I care about can get better.🙏

Thank you Jm for sharing, it takes a lot to ask for help, and I am happy that the community is here, We are here for you bros, also I live in Southern Cali, Let me know if you need assistance with your production. Im down to learn from you, no payment ji ust want your Knowledge and build with you from the ground up!!!

I got spine surgery, still can feel part of my leg, Fight bro, fight!

"I just wanted peace. Because it hurt to be awake, and it hurt to be asleep" - that hit hard dude.

What stood out the most as i watched this video is the bravery. You are a model to follow. Keep on fighting.

We're here to back you in every way we can. Much love to you, your family, and the support team helping you get better!

I pray for your recovery!

Hang in there Jonathan! I’ve had a long similar health journey, with trying to figure out what was the source of all of my conditions, which resulted in DOCK8 syndrome years and years down the line. Now I’m happily looking into a bone marrow transplant and finally can get some answers. God bless you!! You’re not alone!

I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope you get better. I am turning 40 this year and been dealing with multitudes of health issues which I never thought I had to deal with a few years ago. Stay strong, Jonathan. Praying for you. Life is short.

Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery!

Big hugs and prayers for healing for you. So sorry you’re going through this. Everyone, give Jonathan a lot of watchtime, shares and comments plz!

I have been enjoying your content for practically as long as I've had internet access. I still remember the 'Top X list' videos and the one you did with The Verge back in the iPhone 5s days. Yours is one of the few channels where seeing a new upload gets me excited. It would be a huge hit for the online tech community to not have you amongst its ranks. Incredible perseverance! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hoping the worst is behind you and that 60% turns into 100% sooner than later. You got this! Wishing you the absolute best dude.

Get well soon! Thanks for pushing through.

No hyperbole when I say this dude is one of the OG goats. A phenomenal friend and much of the reason for why I have a career. So glad things are looking up man. Definitely here to support!

I've been watching your channel for over a decade, and following your health journey. I'm so fucking happy that you found hope, and that things are swinging in the right direction. Keep crushing your rehab Jonathan.

Sending you love and wishes. We’re rooting for your health!

It took me 4 years before I found the right doctors who saw how bad I was suffering. 2 years later in 2022, I got the neck surgery I had needed since 2016 and am on a bi-weekly shot to help with my moderate/severe Ulcerative Colitis. So glad you were able to get the help you needed as quickly as you did. Now you just got to keep with it and I know you can.

It was really hard to hear everything that you’ve gone through man! Hope it all gets better soon and I wholeheartedly pray people who are facing similar situations can also find this much love and support ❤️❤️

You were always there for so many of us when we needed a friend. You reached out to me personally after my wife passed and that meant the world to me. Now it's our turn to give back. Stay strong Jon. Keep on fighting. We got your back.🙏🏼

More power to you brother. You have helped me navigate and understand tech over the years and somewhere contributed to what I have achieved in life knowledge vise. Making a small contribution to help you get better ❤

I grew up watching your channel Jon. I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. I hope you find your way and heal. Stay strong, my prayers go out to you ❤

I wish you a speedy recovery, Jonathan!

Thanks for all the incredible work Jonathan. I've been a big fan. I am praying for your full and total recovery. Please stay strong and positive as God navigates you through this.

Bro! So sorry to hear you've been going through such a rough time of it. You're a bloody inspiration how you've fought through this. Hoping for speedy and full recovery from here. Sending you love man 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey Jonathan. How are you? Hope you are doing better since this video came out. I know it's hard to fight for life and do things that you love. I'm fighting since 1999 and the fight isn't close to be ower, so technically we are the soldiers in never ending war. Anyways, I want to wish you to be strong, never give up and keep fighting, life is not over 😉

Thank you for asking for help 💚 I’ve been watching your videos since for probably over 10 years if not more! I’ve grown with you and your videos. I hope the best for you and your health and your family. I’m so sorry of what you’d have to go through, it’s okay if you never post again just know that you’ve built a community here and you’re cared for. Sending love, positivity, energy.

i’m so sorry you’re going through this. i cannot even imagine. big hugs, and a lot of watch time for you! ❤

God bless you Jonathan and I hope you can get to a new normal with everything that’s going on.

Brother i was 12 years old when i found your channel and I grew up watching your videos its sucks what is happening right now but it surely will get better soon don't lose hope. May god bless you Jai shree ram , jai mahakal 🔱

great to see you back I was wondering what happened to you, so glad things now better keep going Jonathan all the best

Best wishes and support to you and your family, Jonathan!!

Sending our best, Jonathan, so sorry to hear about everything you've been through

I just hate the medical gaslighting and I am so sorry you had to go through such a nightmare. Wish you all the best!

Man, this is heartbreaking to hear. Proud of you for staying strong even without any visible light ahead. You’re an inspiration to many, myself included. This is just another life obstacle and you’re a strong dude, so you’ll get through it 🤝

When I heart my disc, my neurologist took a 30 seconds look at me then ordered an MRI. Crazy that doctors didn't ask for it immediately. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Speedy recovery and best wishes. Things will get better from here my friend.

I just saw Austin's video and that made me come and watch yours. Get well soon! We'll support you whenever you need it!

I started watching you at 13. Now at 23, today, I woke up overwhelmed with adult life and after watching this video Ive realized how many things I take for granted everyday. I wish you nothing but peace with yourself, you are a great human being. It makes me very happy to hear that you’re getting better. You will get back to 100% when you least expect it Jon. ❤️

Jonathan, I’m so glad you’re back on this medium but even more glad to see you’re feeling 60 percent better. I want to say, as a doctor, I’m sorry we failed you by not listening to your concerns and dismissing your concerns at a time that must have felt so dark and terrifying. It’s incredibly upsetting and disappointing to hear your story as a physician. But I’m glad you were able to advocate for yourself and find amazing doctors (they exist!) who were able to help. I hope this small contribution helps in some way. And I am SO excited to see what you’re going to bring to this medium again! We have certainly missed you,friend.

Watching from Nigeria, I've been s longtime follower of your channel. I have to say, I can't begin to imagine what you're going through man. I wish you quick and sound recovery. I haven't got much to give but I'll support in any possible way i can. Be strong, you'll get through this, we're rooting for you!

Get well soon Jonathan!

Wish you a speedy recovery!

Get well soon man. And this video's production quality was on point so... you still got it!

You were one of thr original og tech Channels thst made me love tech and know so much about it and from somone who too has his own share of life pausing health struggles i hope you get better.

Get well soon Jon! We want you back

Hopefully, the heavy part is behind you and from now on it's going to be a breeze. I have been watching your videos for years and I feel that you truly deserve the support from creators, brands and the community. I wish you all the best Jon!

Wow man, I had no idea how difficult it was to find the help you needed! Glad you found the right medical care. Praying you get all the funds you need to recover completely. 🙏

I've never seen your channel before, but I can say that I watched this video all the way through.

It pisses me off like NOTHING whenever doctors say everything they can't figure out has to be psychologically!

Life is crazy man... I'm glad you're doing better and I pray you get back to 100%. I'll be supporting your gofundme

Damn, it breaks my heart hearing what you are going through. I really think youtube community owes you support!

I want to thank you for something you have done for me. I had chicken pox as a child,and even though I saw my mother suffer through it have not gotten the vaccine. That changes this week. You may well have saved me from some amount of suffering,from relatively minor, to a case like mom's that had permanent pain(in her back)after the lesions healed, to the horrific ordeal you have endured. Thank you.

Admired your work forever and so sorry to see you go through something like this. Whatever videos you make next, i will watch them end to end. You have my word

I pray you get the healing you need. Keep the faith. Everything will be fine. Just a matter of time. Continue staying strong❤

Stya strong my brother! much power to you

TLD was the first tech channel I ever subscribed to back in the day, and I still remember feeling the care and dedication you put into your videos. Although it’s not much, Jonathan, I wish you the best and hope you get well soon.

Wishing you all the best and hope you make a full recovery.

Have been a big fan of you for a long time! Glad to see you get back and recovering. You will get better and stay strong ❤.

I’ve been watching your content way back then, and it hurts when I got to know what you’re going through. Hope this helps and speedy recovery man.

Man, I can't explain in words, how happy I am to see you after such a long time. I am incredibly happy to see your recovery so far. You were and still are one of my most favourite tech RU-vidrs of all time, and I am confident, from the deepest of my heart, that when you come around, you will indeed make the best-looking stuff on the internet. No question. I just need you to get well soon and upload some fire content. I am wishing you all the best with everything. We are always with you, no matter what.

Hoping for the best and a speedy recovery.😇

Wishing you all the best. Hope you are now on the path to recovery. Your story touched me as do your work which I miss and the world is less bright without.

I’m really glad that you finally found the help you needed, but am so sorry to hear how difficult it was to get to that point. What you’ve been going through makes my complaints about my much less significant health problems seem so ridiculous. I know you’ll keep fighting and I’m pulling for you to make a full recovery!

Found your video through Austin Evans. I have been through some serious medical issues in the past. Since then, my vision has been doing this exact same thing. I see my doctor on the 11th. The information from you gives me some things to talk to my doctor about. It may not be the same thing, but it may help go in the right direction. Thank you for posting this video.

What you've gone through sounds awful, and I'm sorry you're still going through it. It took so much courage to make this video, to be vulnerable, to share your struggle. I've always admired your approach to life, and despite the dark times you've been through, this video ends on a hopeful note and I'm excited to see how things improve for you in the coming months. Keep moving forward! I wish you the very best in health and your career as you rebuild.

I grew up watching your videos and you’ve been a part of my childhood. I’m still a student so I’m helping out as much as I could and hope everyone else will too. Hope you’ll get better soon and come back stronger ❤💪

Hoping you speed recovery bro🤜🏻

Get well soon brother 🥺
