Some interesting notes about this video retrospectively. 90% of viewers left before the 2 minute mark, and the most replayed part is the stupid Garfield phone bit. 💀
Holy shit, Bosh… seeing your face, background and mic setup is honestly shocking. I think your channel still has so much potential. I cannot wait to see what comes next, even if nothing comes at all; do what makes you happy!
All these complaints are really understandable, I get the burnout you went through. We've loved the content you've made, but it is important that you do what makes you happy. No pressure, take all the time you need
No man, he is STILL one of the best. He is going sure, but becauss he is talking about his situation and why he's going (in a way) THAT'S what makes him one of the best.
HAHAHAHAHAHA NO HE WASNT! NOT EVEN CLOSE! REAL legends were EMPLEMON, PIE PIVOT, AND TRUDERMARK. But you dont know ANY of them DO YOU? Mrpizza fanboy, the BEST are those not known to the algorithm. Get lost.
This is the right decision, it’s really important to maintain your passion for editing and this is the way to go. Make videos for YOU. Not for RU-vid. Not the for algorithm. Not for the viewers who haven’t subbed anyway. Make it for you.
>Fluffy clean hair >thin profile eyebrows >massive cheekbones >Goatee care >Perfect dentition >"Badboi" smile with well defined lips >Sharp jawline Yeah no you ain't ugly, you're very handsome and your hair is worth envying
I appreciate you having a time off, i really do. This isn't an ending jacob, this is a beginning to a healthier and happier content making. Instead of hiding behind a facade, you are finally accepting making videos you dread to make is hurting you. I'll support you alll the way even if I just saw you in 2020, the date doesn't matter lmao, because I'm here for you (ps I **want demonic garfield**) ❤️
RU-vid is cruel. This is the right decision, I think. I’m staying subbed just to see what you do next, but know there is no pressure to produce anything at all. Thank you for all your sacrifices over the years. My brothers and myself always got excited to see a new video drop. Despite being shitposts/YTPs, they genuinely provided levity in dark times. Thank you!
Thank you for talking about this!! I’m glad I’m not the only one suffering this. There’s a lot of RU-vidrs who can take a break, and when they come back, their views and subs come back up. But when I do the same, views and subs never come back.
While it would be a lie to say that whatever you do I'll be there for (I just cant eat whatever videos I find anymore like I used to, now it's either essays or memes), I can say that I definitely very much appreciate what you've done with this channel. Even if you decide to completely move on, im glad you were here. Your videos always put a dumb smile on my face, and they always will.
with a channel like yours, you often forget there’s actually a person behind the madness. After all this time, I didn’t expect too much change in the future, but now I’m glad there will be. I’ve enjoyed most of the content here, but I can understand why you want to change, and I’m excited to see what will come. Just make the content you want to, and we’ll support you throughout.
This is brave to come forward about, I kinda know what you’re talking about when you start a channel doing something very formulaic and when you do something you actually want to it does terrible, and it sucks. A flaw in RU-vid but I’m in your position rn haha
Don't let unrealistic expectations weigh you down man. You have the subs, you made us all laugh already, and you made us aware of change coming. Go for it, a lot of us should understand and still be here.
Thank you Bosh, you truly have a place in my heart. Do what you want, man, take as much time off as possible and do what you want, heck, maybe even make this channel about a passion you have! I’m all for it, and i know alot of other people are aswell!
This was very respectful and heartfelt. It'd have been easier to complain about subscribers and make cold remarks about "people nowadays," but you didn't. You told people that your feelings have changed, why, what you'll do, and why you still respect your fans. That's flawless professionalism.
I love your content, Bosh It would be interesting for people, and good for you if you will post what you like and what you like to create And, i really want to know how did you get this nintendo machine in your home xD
That's a pretty sick arcade restoration. I've had to build a few of those at my job, and they can be tedious, whether you have a riser built for it as well, but good on ya man. A raspberry pi can also hook up to the control board to have any arcade game set up.
Bosh, I’ve been watching your channel for about 3 years, and i’ve been a member of your discord server for almost 2 years. I really enjoy your content no matter what it is and I will support any decision you decide to make. I’m excited to see what you do next, do whatever you feel is necessary. Sincerely, Nat. P.S No more Bosh Cheeks, I’m ready for Giga Bosh.
To be honest, I think that your videos are so rewatchable that I can stay perfectly entertained. Thanks Bosh for the hundreds of hours of entertainment you have given us.
When I started my channel almost three years ago, this is the exact thing I wanted to avoid. That, among other things, is why my channel is very small but I have no problem with that. I get to make whatever I want. The algorithm and the audiences’ exception of seeing the same content every video is what drives creators to quit. What do you want, happiness or success? Unfortunately it’s a choice that must be made. Hopefully you can find a better path soon, Bosh.
The man’s right tho! Sometimes we need a break from things and if you do want to keep up from what your doing that’s great, but always be sure that what ever your doing, no one’s stopping you from taking a break or going easy in activity’s and life. Thanks for making us laugh through out the years Bosh!
I felt this video on a whole different level because I’m somewhat going through a similar thing and it saddens me how often this occurs for content creators across this platform. It truly does suck man, and i’m sorry that this is what you’re going through (or went through cus im now 8 months late). I read something that really stuck with me and it goes along the lines of “don’t forget the YOU in RU-vid”. And that couldn’t be so close to the truth, as content creators we tend to get so caught up in the numbers and who’s watching or like how can we get more views, how can I get people to click on this video, how can I get into the algorithm blah blah blah, that we forget to take in consideration what it is that we truly want to make. It’s a very tricky thing because it’s so easy to slip into the mindset that you have follow the “rules” of youtube in order to see some type of success, especially nowadays since everyone knows that it’s possible to make a good living through RU-vid so it seems like everyone is stressing themselves and making themselves crazy because they want to make it. What i’m beginning to realize is that we also gotta take care of our mental health and sanity, whether if it’s by taking breaks or by creating content that we truly find interesting, entertaining, and fun to do or make. I do hope that you return to making videos again and that it’s things that you do care about and enjoy making, regardless if people care or not. Preserving your sanity is far more important than trying to force yourself to deliver for others.
Man, even the top comments here don't care about the video. Bosh, I've been watching RU-vid for a decade, and my best advice is to transform your content regardless of what the majority thinks. Your new style of content may get, let's say, 10k people watching on average, and you just gotta ignore what RU-vid analytics says or the advice they give because all they care about is THEIR engagement. Don't be a sad sap who bends to the will of an internet monopoly or the braindead masses who think they're all cool and unique, blaze your own path. RU-vid's top demographic are children and they enjoy instant satisfaction, or they leave. When millennial influences call zoomers the TikTok generation they're not kidding, it's a fact, and as a zoomer I can confirm it. Changing up your content will absolutely shock them, but your ideas should not be shackled by belligerent idiots who scream "cum" or "hoh hoh hoh hoh hoh" on the daily. If you end up merging your ideal contents with poops, you'll experience a ScrewAttack situation where the former content gets 100 views vs 500K. So I suggest strongarming your true passion until you're formally re-identified by the community. It's been a year so this comment will get glossed over HARD. Change will inevitably cost you, the lack of community engagement speaks for itself, so you can take the leap and do your own thing at a cost, or return to what you've been doing to play it safe. Is this burnout? Absolutely. But remember, changing up your content won't label you a backstabber by the community. Edit: added an 's'
Bosh, you are such a sweet and thoughtful individual and you're REAL with your thoughts and I just want to take a moment to appreciate that. I've been riding this train since who knows when, your videos have always been funny (any exhaustion you've had in the process of making them has been hidden so well). Getting to know you and what you do with restorations and hearing you discuss all that fun stuff on your wall behind you would be just as fun! PLEASE do that restoration video, I haven't seen many videos on arcade machines being fixed up. Your personality, heart and humor are easily very attractive things about you. Whatever you decide to create I will always be here to watch and support it! 💖💖💖💖 (P.S. YOU'RE NOT UGLY)
No matter what happens, or what has happened, thank you, Bosh, for everything. I wish only the best for whatever else you do, and what is to come for you
Bosh I've been stalking your content for awhile and I want to say You bring me a level of joy I haven't had since dasboschitt and Kitty0706. If you need to take a break or you wanna do something else, you do it, you get yourself into a good position and do what you need to do. We'll always be here to watch, point, and laugh at your funny memes, us or our horribly mutated children.
Man, this dude is a far better and more capable person than I could’ve guessed from when he was hiding behind the memes. I hope you do become a god editor or video game designer, something in that area. Also your room is amazing! I really want to have a similar looking life style when I’m on my own in a few years
Make these videos for yourself, you've definitely earned it. I love your meme videos but I honestly love videos like this where people sit down and actually talk to the viewer about their life, youtube, their content, anything really. I don't mind what you do, do what you wanna do, post what you wanna post. I will be one of the people that watches whatever you make Bosh, you're an amazing guy and a great editor, be who you want to be.
You've created art for us for years now. Considering what you've given us, you deserve to do whatever you want. Do whatever makes you happy, and we'll be happy. Please stay healthy and do something you want to.
hearing you speak in this format was seriously beautiful man. your editing is seriously a chaos emerald, seeing you use that power for anything else besides the funnies would be great. the talent you have is very REAL.
It’s so nice to see you talk about this man. As a person that was really into these types of things like back in 2019-2020. I have grown from that humour, and it’s good to see you bring attention to this. If you want to tryout some new content, go for it! Cause I, and many others are happy to keep up the support.
Do whatever helps make you happy. I will miss seeing whatever new videos (not memes just in general) ya had in mind but I hope you know, you weren’t just a meme channel. Ya helped a lot of people including myself smile during really dark times and throughout the pandemic, and for that I think I can speak for everyone when I say: Thank You Bosh
The Blue Yoshi plush disappears from the table and looks like it appears to the left of him (or HIS right) and then reappears. Perhaps a hint towards him being inactive but reappearing sooner than later…?
Nah the things I say are just out of order. It disappears from the table because I grabbed it at one point and didn't put it back. I had about an hour of footage of me explaining everything which I cut down to a few minutes.
I, for one, am looking forward to seeing what you have in store! I’m sorry that you have been making these videos for years and haven’t been enjoying it for who knows how long. I’m glad that you are moving on with what you want and like to do. Here’s to the future of this channel! 🥂
Bosh, you deserve a break, and I understand that you’re going through a tough time on the channel with burnout and desire for other projects. I’ve always watched your videos not because of the material that’s been made based on what your viewers demanded, but because your video making style has so much potential and the capabilities you have is amazing. I guess what I’m trying to say is. Don’t make what you don’t wanna make that others think they want, make what you want to make that makes you feel like yourself, without the worry of what others will think and how the bs algorithm works. I’m proud to be your viewer no matter what happens.
You took the word right outa my mouth! This is why I personally don’t plan on using YT for anything other than keeping in touch with friends and supporting creators I enjoy, some of whom are friends of mine! But I’m not planning on uploading anything to YT at all! I’m instead relying on other platforms to upload and share my content! But despite not using YT for video sharing, I do still wanna support as many creative minds as possible on here as it is one of the biggest online creative platforms! I just wish the reasons for me not uploading to it would shrink instead of grow…it seems the higher ups keep making it more harder and painful to maintain any healthy schedule! It’s like they want to push people away, but make it overly complex to do so, regardless if you are monetized, just a hobbyist who posts occasional vids, or even just a viewer, signed in or not! YT is trying to be the one stop shop for everything, which sounds great on paper, but at the same time, they make unfortunate decisions, changes, and/or miscommunicate with their users, or never communicate at all! RU-vid is equal parts amazing and terrifying, as I love watching and supporting my favorite creators. Some of which, as I said, are my friends! But the platform also makes life super hard for those creators, and often the fans and audience can only do so much to help, and we never know if it’s even working! (Thankfully, things like Patreon, Ko-Fi, Kickstarter, etc. exist, and you can support the creator directly!👍) but for fans who aren’t able to pledge money, even though things like liking, commenting, and watching all the way through is a good way to support the creator, it’s not always a guaranteed way towards the algorithm picking your vid and channel to get boosted! Anyway, that’s my rant. I love supporting and watching my favorite videos and channels and creators on RU-vid, and I love discovering new favorites! But I don’t like how the platform and company in general just feels so disjointed, and keeps messing with a lot of creators time and time again!!!
I fully understand what you mean. I’ve made tons upon tons of videos on my channel that are absolutely hilarious to me, and have a lot of effort put into them, but in the end are only viewed by me and whatever friends I send the videos to. The only videos I get high view counts on (which is usually 15-20 for me, not counting the random 1 to 2 thousand) are meme videos. That’s just how the algorithm is. It fucking sucks. Obviously my channel gets nowhere near the amount of traffic as yours, and nowhere near the amount of effort is put into my videos compared to yours, but it’s tragic how many people on this godforsaken site get no reward for their work, no matter how many hours they put into it. Keep up the work, Bosh. Don’t let this youtube stuff stress you.
This was a good thing for you to post and a healthy decision to make. I admit that it hadn't occurred to me that there was a person behind the Bosh face. It's humbling to be reminded of what someone else put into a video. Do the best thing for you and the support will follow! I know I for one would be delighted to see the process behind restoring an arcade machine.
I feel like when a channel has set itself on making a certain type of short and "consumable" content with a re-occuring theme/structure/formula, people start taking the videos for granted and subconsciously forget that an actual human had to spend time and effort to make them, thinking of the creator as more of an entity, especially when the content is so surreal and absurd (in a good way). It all goes down to putting yourself in front of an audience, and the relationship that results where people see the artist rather than the person, which I think all creators can relate to. But honestly, of all the same-structure-content-focused channels whose videos don't feature the creator physically, you always felt to me like one of the more humane and expressive ones. Through your comments, replies, community tabs and talk videos, you were actually a person we can interact with and I respect that. I was happy whenever I saw you try something new, and while I love your meme videos and they cheered me up everytime I saw a new one, I'm happy that you're deciding to make what you truly want. Take care of yourself man. If you somehow see this, sorry if the text is a bit messy, I'm not the best at self-expression.
You're one of the few people that inspired me that made my content the way it is now. While it's easy to get dopamine from numbers and algorithms, making the content you want is more important! Because if you don't and keep grinding, you will be burnout (just like I was) Looking forward to your future projects!
this is very unfortunate man. I enjoyed and would stil enjoy your content to this day, the generation we are in is so narrowed down and it’s a negative thing because you can’t even express your self and expand.
ah man, I feel bad that I took 2 months to watch this. All your complaints make sense, I'll miss your memes they were the best in the business, but if you arent having fun and by the sound of it actively hating then its not good to keep doing that. I remember when you announced your Gaming channel, I caught a few streams and you were genuinely one of the more fun streamers ive gotten to watch, it was nice to see more of the guy behind the memes and I thought man this Bosh guy is pretty cool :) so hopefully you see this and it means something positive to you, idk. oh, also, just want you to know anytime I see fzero I now think of BAH
Hey man, I just wanted to say that while it's unfortunate that a lot of people tended to ignore the overall status of your channel and just come back for the memes, I totally understand where you're coming from. I'm glad you'll be doing more self-centered passion projects and look forward to seeing the results! I'm sure they'll be great. 🙂 Also I love that Donkey Kong multicade unit you have in your studio(?). Looks freaking amazing!!!!!!
I found you through your memes. You are an incredibly talented editor, and I believe you can make anything you want to make an interesting and fun experience. Make the stuff you want to make. I'll watch. You're doing an amazing job.
Even tho i havent watched u for a while,i will still miss you ur videos made me laugh and smile with my siblings,but still tho, ill still miss uneven tho u quit but its nice watching ur videos and content u did amazing and made all of my sibings comfortable but, i hope ur ok rn im sorry if i said it late its just im busy with homework,school so i dont rlly have much time its nice laughing at all these videos it makes my smile im sorrry but u will still be in all of our hearts❤
Honestly, I came for the memes but I do want to stick around to see where you might go. I think you are definitely so much more than a memer or a shitposter. You're a really talented editor with a whole lot of bottled up and unexplored creativity. And you just seem like a genuinely nice person to top it all off, so that's more than enough to get my support. Good luck with the future, Bosh! I'm rootin' for ya.
"For us, the storm has passed... the war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten." We love you Bosh. We got your back till the end.
Congrats. If you hate something, you won't produce anything worth sharing. Plenty of content creators have switched to other things when they grew tired of their old formula and people still stuck with them, and they can even grow from it cause they're passionate about their work again. Happiness comes first and I know plenty of your subs will be happy you're taking steps towards it.
I can't remember exactly how long I've been watching your content, but I know I've been subbed for a long time. I know exactly the pitfall you're talking about, in getting sucked into a type of content creation and feeling trapped by it, unable to do other things. I 100% encourage you to just go with your gut. At first, you probably won't get much in terms of views from people who are already subbed, but if what you make makes you happy and you feel is compelling, then that's what you should go for. This is not only wise in terms of your channel, it's wise for you as a person which is more important in the end. You have to be happy doing something like this or it won't work. I've missed a few videos here and there, but usually when I see a video pop up in my feed, I'll go back and catch ones I've missed. While yes, I got subbed for your ytp/memes/shitposts/whatever the fuck, not only do I respect the decision, I am very curious what you have in mind as I would've loved seeing that arcade restoration vid/series! 😮I look forward to seeing this new era! 😁👌
Dear Bosh, I subscribed to see what you do next. All the best sir, thank you for your sacrifice to yourself for us watchers, but now YOU owe it to YOURSELF to do what you love doing. Be well man!
At this moment in time, I'm fifteen years old. When he said "My subscribers have grown up", I was sad. Because I've been growing up. But I still watch his videos. Me and my best friend still laugh so hard from many, many, many of his videos. But all good things must come to an end, right?
straight up, you have brought plenty of smiles and laughter to people, and being honest i get the decision internally aswell, the views aren't keeping up much anymore. but never forget how grateful are we all for what you have given to this website :)
Honestly, RU-vid stopped recommending your videos and, what with life going on and other content creators along with that pesky algorithm. I won’t lie I’ve forgotten to look up specific creators (like yourself). RU-vid recommended your channel to me again and I remember “oh shit, Bosh! I completely forgot! Love their edits and content!” And so here I am, watching this video completion as I scroll through all of your other videos. Honestly I don’t look at any community tabs unless it shows up in my recommended feed, so atleast in my case it isn’t specific to meme channels (although I seem to disproportionately view their community tabs more). Honestly, would totally dig seeing other kinds of content, and it would’ve been awesome to follow your progress restoring that arcade machine.
You do you bro, Ive watched your content since like 2015, and I loved it ever since! Seeing this is saddening, but it is indeed for the better. I'm rooting for ya man! You've brought so much joy to thousands and thousands, but it is indeed time you focus on other things besides edits lol, anyways, you take care man, and if ya planning anything else for your channel, I'll be here waiting lol
Hey man, it’s totally okay to take a break and focus on what makes you happy. I’ve always enjoyed your work, so I’m looking forward to anything you decide to make :) Take it easy man
Dude every single one of your videos made me laugh hysterically. In my opinion, there was no one I could find who could reliably make hilarious edits like you. You were truly one of a kind. However, I still believe you are a human just like the rest of us. Which is why I respect your decision fully. Can't wait for your next post! Regardless of what type of content it is I'll watch it. Even if the majority leaves I'll still stay to thank you, in a way, for making me laugh so much over the couple of years I've been watching, especially when I needed it the most. Much love and respect your way brotha.
This hurts to know how much Bosh has went through. He wanted to make content of his own, instead of meme edits, and him talking about it sounds like he is about to tear up because of the stress he has been dealing with. I have always wondered about you, and how life was going for you. I have personality grown up, and about to be 18 soon in three months, but I still watch you're content the way I was back when I was 14. I want to thank you for making me laugh, and cheer up during my dark times in life, and I want to apologize for all the stuff you have stressed out about. I hope you are okay, and that I pray that you're channel will still be alive regardless what happens. Do what you want to do, and follow you're dreams. Again thank you for absolutely everything Bosh
Comment #2: I never do this, I honestly think its kind if annoying when people post two comments, but I feel its needed. I dunno where you are Bosh, I wish you wouldn't have quit, but if its what you need then you do you man. I just have one request. I dont wanna come across as a jerk or pressure you to do this, but will you ever do that series where you teach us how to make our own edits, like you said in the video? If we can't have your videos, I'd love to make my own. You don't need to do this, but I feel it'd be greatly appreciated. Again, though, you do you man. Do what you feel you need to do.
I know what you mean dude. Even I sometimes get tired of making Minecraft videos, even though my most popular is a Minecraft Baldi Basics. I do plan to bring it back, but I'm afraid it won't get as popular. I've considered to try and to Blender Animations, but I'm waiting until I get a good computer to do them, because my Laptop wouldn't be able to handle it. Hope you're doing good, and hope to see you again soon.
Nah it's just because of the way the video is edited. I had about an hours worth of footage and I cut it up into a much more manageable video. At 4:39 I pick up the Bosh plush and later put it on my computer. The earlier shot where the plush "disappears" was recorded after moving the plush.
This is actually pretty cool to see. idk if you’ll actually end up seeing this but I think chasing after your passions, whatever they may be, will result in much better content than videos that you’re just grinding out begrudgingly because you feel like you have to. Sure, you’ll prolly lose some subscribers in the process, but as a great king once said, “Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice…I’m willing to make”. You never owed it to us or RU-vid to make those meme videos, your choice on what to do next is your own choice to make. The ride’s been fun so far but I’m excited to see what sort of new ride it’ll be moving forwards from here on out. Keep on rockin, chase that passion, and stay bosh-y…or don’t stay bosh-y, whatever floats your boat. ⛵️✌️
Bosh you’re a wonderful editor but the audience you’ve grown probably just cares for the memes but you’ll find people that care for you. Not just your content but you! Bosh I’ve only seen a few of your videos but I can see the effort you put into these and I’m looking forward to whatever you wanna do!
