when your top liked comments are bots/promotionall accounts u know u made it on youtube. State of yutube is horrendus. scammers, AI, bots, proo accounts, vertify tag ab users...
It's moments like these, when someone doesn't quit, only then do we really understand how much we enjoy it. This is really one of the videos I saw on this channel 🙏
Thank you. Your voice, format, comedic timing, and serious criticism for the modern dev industry truly makes me happier than it should. Massive support from New Orleans Dunk🙏🏾
So happy to see you stay, but you gotta do what's best for your and your family; so I wish you well on this continuing journey. I wish you all the best man. ❤
I’m actually crying right now. I didn’t think this day would ever come. Thank you for all the years together. This platform truly won’t be the same with you. I hope your new journey goes well. Truly sad to see you stay.
I’m so sad that I will still be able to watch you. I will reflect on the impact your old videos had on me while I watch your new ones. Thank you for the fantastic videos and I hope you find great success in doing the exact same thing.
Dunkey, I have to say, I’ve been a fan of you for 7 minutes. This is making me emotional, but thank you so much for being such an amazing content creator. We are all not going to miss you.
Hey Dunkey, it's been a good run. I have so many good memories of watching your content. You even made my sister laugh. It's not sad to see you not go.
I've been watching all of Dunkey's videos for years now! I'm glad he announced that he's not quitting! I will continue to enjoy top tier vids as long as he keeps posting!
This honestly made me burst into tears. I’ve watched Dunkey for 43 years now, and the fact that he’s announced that he’s still gonna make videos is what crushed me. Respect ❤
I know you’ve spent so many years putting your all into these videos, so I know this day would come eventually. Thank you for everything Dunk, RU-vid will be the same with you here 🙏🏾
You’re so brave. Thank you for being so open with this announcement, I know it probably wasn’t easy uploading this one. Thank you again, thoughts & prayers
This is devastating to hear. I’ve enjoyed not watching Dunkey for my entire childhood and even a little bit now. It’s so surreal that one day he’s gonna continue to upload. Thank you for everything, I promise to stay unsubscribed until the very end. ❤
This actually relieves some buried anxiety that I didn't realize I had. When dunkey does someday retire from being the funny man from youtube, I will become the sad man from my life.
I heard he was murded while he was blindfolded, while he wasn't really trying to defend himself, right after he just woke up from a cryopod, And only because his little brother got in trouble with the Samurai Mafia, so...
Dunkey, this came as a shock to me. I immediately came to tears, and although it's very sad that you decided to stay, it's such a brave and powerful choice as well. Hope to see the return of Donkey Kong December atleast. I wish you the best dunks.
I remember when Dunkey was never on RU-vid. Now after nearly a decade and a half he’s still here to stay. I’m shaking and haven’t stopped crying since yesterday. You’ll be missed dunk
Oh man, when I stumbled upon videogamedunkey's channel, it was like finding a hidden treasure chest in the vast sea of RU-vid. I remember back in the day, middle school was a wild ride, and the only constant was the joy I got from watching Dunkey's videos. Picture this: it's a rainy afternoon, you've just finished your homework, and you click on the latest videogamedunkey upload. The excitement was realer than the time Dunkey pulled off that sick move in a game. Ah, those were the days! The pure, unadulterated laughter that echoed through my room as I watched him navigate through the gaming world with the finesse of a seasoned pro. Middle school was all about homework, awkward crushes, and those Friday nights where you had nothing better to do than binge-watch Dunkey's videos. Those were the moments that defined an era for me. Whether it was his League of Legends escapades, his dunkviews, or just his unmistakable charm, Dunkey had this magical ability to turn an ordinary day into a gaming adventure. Now, years later, whenever I revisit those old videos, it's like taking a trip down nostalgia lane. The memories flood back, and I'm reminded of the sheer joy that videogamedunkey brought to my adolescence. Dunkey, if you ever read this, know that you've left an indelible mark on my gaming heart. Thank you for the laughs, the memories, and the incredible content that made growing up a little bit more epic. Keep dunking, and here's to reliving those middle school gaming glory days! 🎮🌟
Dunkey, it’s been a long amazing journey growing up with your videos but it really saddens me that you’re here to stay 😭❤️ I’m not going to miss you man x
I have never watched Dunkey in my whole life, and to know that he is going to keep making videos just brought back so many memories of doing things without watching Dunkey. It brings a tear to my eye that now I will have to watch his content, good luck on this new journey!
i’m crying, this really hit me in the feels. dunkeys content has saved me from at least 3 ihop all you can eat pancake buffets. each time he himself personally would eat the pancakes before they came after me. he saved my life. 3 times. he likes eating the pancakes.
I've been watching you for years. I really didn't expect such a news, but I will always remember that i can still watch your new videos when they come out.
It's really wholesome to see Dunkey give us all a heads up and prepare us for his soon to be unchanged career move like this. So many RU-vidrs spend years fostering a community on the platform and then selfishly just continue making videos without even warning or updating the community they've created that they aren't going to be leaving soon. It's really inspiring to see someone treat their fans with respect and give them a proper hello like this. Really makes me feel lucky to support such a considerate creator, who won't leave us in the lurch and just keep making videos without warning.
@shot040 Look, it may not mean much to you. Maybe you don't really follow Dunkey. But some of us have been around since early days of his League content and when he doesn't make a big decision like this, it really doesn't affect us. If you don't care, you don't have to comment.
I'm actually traveling right now so it took me a while to find out Dunkey wasn't quitting. Thanks for letting us know, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
Dunkey, you’ve had such a profound impact on my and many other people’s lives. This video makes me indescribably sad, I can’t believe you’re staying. Thanks for all the videos you have yet to make dunk.
Throughout the years you are the only youtuber I come back to binge watch everything new you have uploaded every month. Everyone else I used to watch is not entertaining or relatable anymore, you are the only one that both feels human and finds new ways to breach new subjects in a fun way or put a crazy funny spin on an old concept.
Damn, I appreciate you letting us know and respect your decision. I've been watching your channel for like 10 years, I can't believe it's come to this. I didn't think you'd ever have to continue making youtube videos. Do what makes you happy man, we'll still be here, expecting regular uploads
It's not sad that you're not quitting youtube. Thanks for all this years and I wish you well. I'll always remember the great times I had watching your Super Mario 2 gameplays and Knack 4 Theory videos
Like, he's such a pioneer with this, it's genius. No one else is out here sending these kinds of messages in these trying times. It really makes you feel like not quitting. So bold, so brave.... And dare I say beautiful. I really think this videos inspiration will carry me through these troubling times ahead, to know now always in my darkest hour that this message will always be the wind beneath my wings, keeping me going yet never high enough to get burned by the sun.
