I think the way that fan interacted with cody is reasonable. They were respectful and simply stated their opinion in a polite way and cody responded with the same respect. Pretty rad to see :)
I personally encourage criticism as long as it’s constructive. to me constructive criticism is as good as compliments, even if they don’t make me feel emotionally the same way after the initial reading
@@hecknfrick4236 Possibly a long-time viewer, and they may find it exciting to see how he has grown as a person via his platform. You seem somewhat invested in their opinion after one sentence.
I can’t believe that he thinks he’s been making mediocre content for a majority of this year. I very much disagree. I think you’re as funny and as authentic as ever. We love you Cody!
@@streltsy It's sad to say that I agree. He doesn't even do THAT'S CRINGE anymore which was arguably the best series on his channel. Plus I hate his new camera, way too high quality, tone it down a bit.
I wonder if he would like to stop doing YT. I feel like he would like to move on to something that is equally as profitable and allows him to make the content he wants just on another platform.
@@rachelsloan4329 he said he would in the video but he keeps getting ad deals, economically he cant take them down +hes preparing for a family so hes tad bit of a sellout
Cody just copped to being on autopilot and offered genuine reasons. The sincerity of it was actually shocking. Whatever happens, I know he’ll succeed. Well done on maintaining your humanity on the internet and in LA ❤️
In one of his podcasts he was saying how he's looking to be an actor. I think he's just growing up and youtube nowadays is definitely geared toward children and younger people, the content that gets pushed the most is usually silly videos. He's definitely got bigger and better things coming.
I think the "auto-pilot" videos have been great! I've loved the more chill intimate vibe. It feels like I'm hanging out with a friend, making fun of random stuff on the internet. You know... real life shit. Not trying to do too much and I think that's been a good thing! The consistency and reliability has been really helpful over the past few years. Thank you for everything
People who are not creative dont really understand how draining it can be to constantly be creative. Especially for how long Cody and Noel has been doing it. Youre doing great Cody!
you said it perfectly. people who never make anything especially fo creative nature will never understand but complain and feel entitled. myself included even tho I am a creative. it's easy to feel entitled to content
It’s quite refreshing for RU-vid. Just ask the make-up community. It’s nice to see he recognises it without being told. All those Jubilee videos are funny but they’re basically all a variation of the same recipe. But as he said, he needs to earn an income. We can’t judge because we’d be whoring out for jubilee and making four « 6 v 1 » videos a day for revenue
I really wish you would cut YOURSELF more slack. You just got engaged, you’re open about your mental health issues, you’re literally a human like the rest of us. I also depend on you for content, you have gotten me through a lot of depression. Hell, I even named my rabbit Wednesday after your podcast. But you are making HUGE moves with TMG studios. I know you don’t need this pep talk, I just think people need to be a little more understanding that cody ko is literally human. He is a youtuber, but there is a HUMAN behind this screen with a beautiful fiancé to work hard for and amazing productions coming to light. Cody, I know I’m one comment in a sea of many, but there’s been many weeks where I just didn’t want to try any more and held out until “Wednesday” (or thursday before the reschedule) please take care of yourself. the first two minutes you beat the fuck out of yourself. i know it’s for comedy, and probably didn’t even affect you and was for show. Please just know how much of an impact you have on your fans. Some think you’re going downhill, but for every one that does you have die hards that will ride these waves of life with you. Again, please take care of yourself. We will be here when you feel good enough to make content whether it be every week, recycled, same ideas, it is still Cody Ko at the end of the day the man who can make me and my fiancé laugh for hours on end and quote him all week. We love you -The Miranda Household and Wednesday
Man, I just love reading through these comments and seeing all the love and support. It’s so deserved. I would add to it but I think everyone covered it all. We love you Cody. ❤️
I don’t care if you’re making content on autopilot Cody. That’s probably what a lot of creators need to be doing, the current expectations for content creators are ridiculous. The reason I (and most others) watch your content is because of your authenticity. You stay true to yourself and present as a very honest person. Keep making the content that’s best for you, just be yourself while doing it. Sounds corny, but it’s facts.
I just realized that it’s funny I called him honest because of how he lied to that guy on the TMG podcast about investing in Friday beers but even his response to it after the fact showed what an honest person he is.
I think it’s so rare to see a youtuber be so sincere about their content and how their channel is going. Like to hear Cody say he knows he’s not making the best content lately but that it doesn’t make financial sense to not at least try to put out videos is just so human. Very refreshing honestly compared to the image obsessed influencer culture some other youtubers have. Not to say anyone is doing something the wrong/right way- just that I really support and respect Cody for being so real!
Honestly you’re a comfort creator to me so you can upload any kind of content just about and I’ll find myself having a good time watching. I don’t know if that counts for anything but I hope you know somebody somewhere always appreciates your videos.
Not that you’d read this but I think it’s important to say anyway: you’re incredibly funny, I think what people understand about the strength of the podcast is that you’re great at improv and it’s so hard to do this when you’re trying to make a format to monetise and be consistent with. I think if you approached brainstorming video ideas like improv it could help but then again I have no idea, you’re doing insanely great.
Cody’s therapy session at 4:13 actually made me so happy & I think that kind of sprinkle of vulnerability (talking about your family, future, etc) is exactly what some of us want to see more of! We all love the humor and comedy and thats why we came here- but we’ve all also grown up with you and are entering new parts of our lives too, and i think we could allll do better at changing and growing and allowing your viewers to do so with you - we like YOU not just your bits
Cody, huge respect for taking that criticism head-on, though I don't think it's exactly deserved. You and Noel have had a lot on your shoulders these last two years and I love how creative you guys are still. Please take a breather, you deserve to take breaks, you've been constantly pushing out content on multiple platforms for YEARS so burnout is natural. Plus you got engaged, and you're allowed to focus on your life for a while and push your responsibilities as an entertainer aside for a moment. The studio gives out amazing content! (including the ones aside from the original pod) Watching you guys take a risk and start a business with the studios is really inspiring. Take care man, the fans will wait for you to get poppin' when you feel like it :)
so true, most ppl just watch for his personality it doesnt rlly matter what the subject of the video is the commentary is funny and entertaining regardless
Yooooo Cody, thought you’ll probably never see this, even though some people might be saying that you’re losing your touch and even if you might feel that way, your videos and yours and noel’s podcast really help some of us get through the day. Even if you make videos about the same thing you always find different things to say about them and it feels like a new video every time you do post a new video, people just don’t get that there isn’t going to be an original idea for each and every thing that you or any other content creator post. Love you codyyyyyyyy
I still really enjoy the chill, reaction stuff. You're just naturally funny and you don't have to try hard for it. Excited for the new stuff coming too and I think it's good you put your focus on those big projects that make you happy.
I love Cody been watching him for a decade and it's always been apparent that he is entrepreneurial minded first and creative minded second and that's not necessarily a bad thing. He's like a marketing major and Noel is like an art student. Both are creative and funny but have different strengths. It's why they work so well together
good on cody for being able to get up there and say "hey i know my shit's been mediocre lately." really admirable, i wish more people were willing to be that honest
Let’s be honest, we all have times in our careers where you feel more on top of it or in our prime. It’s unrealistic to expect RU-vidrs which have a very creative job to always be at the top of their game. And that “prime” time for creators can vary depending on peoples perspectives.
I think it would be really cool to see a Vlog that sheds a little light on the TMG podcast process/setup. Just a little day in the life of everyone behind the scenes and what’s going on with all that. Not necessarily a whole series or whatever but I think the business situation Cody and Noel have got going on is super interesting.
As someone with severe ADHD who takes VERY strong medication to treat it, I do in fact, have brain rot. They should have just diagnosed me with dumb dumb noggin worms in 2006.
i was gonna say, adhd definitely is just wriggly worms eating away at synapses and probably filling the space in my brain where thoughts and memories should fit
You and Noel have been working so hard lately to build your company. Nonetheless you handled this criticism so well even when we didn’t deserve an explanation. You guys have been a home for me for years and in my opinion, you have nothing to apologize for. Even through your career progression you’ve managed to be humble and gracious to the community you’ve built
Your content is the only reason I’m surviving my junior year right now. I listen when I’m getting ready in the morning or drives to class and sometimes if the day was really bad I’ll watch a video to make my mood perk up. THANK YOU CODY!
I honestly rly appreciate how honest Cody is about this stuff, most creators aren't. He doesn't owe us anything anyway, but it's nice that he shares some of his thoughts with his audience
Honestly, what I like about your videos is the “hanging out with a friend” vibe, where it doesn’t matter as much to me what the specific content is, but I love the feeling that you or Noel or any other creator is having fun with what they’re doing 😊 I feel like after years of following it’s also really cool to see you evolve as a creator, listen to the music when not watching videos, see different kinds of collabs, and especially to see you & Kelsey grow in your own lives! Love you guys and I wish you the best in all the things you set out to do!
yes i actually love how his videos dont seem forced and he doesnt try to be funny he just IS naturally funny. the chilling with a friend vibe is the best way to put it and thats why people love him. i have never thought his videos were bad or boring lol i watch every one :))
really loving the revibe of this channel and hearing your honesty about the main channel was super refreshing! thank you for being straight with us and reminding us that you have a whole ass life to live behind the scenes lmao i can’t imagine the pressure and judgement content creators must feel. but honestly you sound super well adjusted so props to you for that haha
Cody!! i’ve been a fan of yours since your vine era & i’ve enjoyed every piece of content you’ve put out. being uninspired is completely natural, as i’m going through the same thing too. so don’t put too much pressure on yourself. i love everything you post- you’re hands down my favorite content creator. one of the realest people on social media too & i love you for that. keep doing you man. sending love.
I’m actually so surprised that people are criticizing the more laid back, lower-effort style that we’ve been getting on the main channel considering everything else Cody & the gang have been doing fr. Between building tmg studios, making music, doing RU-vid and still having a social life outside of it all, it just seems a lot of pressure to be under. And for how new they are, the new shows actually flow so well, and I look forward to Trillionaire Mindset as much as I do the og pod. Tbh anyone who isn’t giving this dude the credit he deserves just isn’t paying enough attention 🤷🏻♀️
I actually really love your attitude throughout this video. You're patient and understanding with yourself and your life goals as a human being who happens to have an online presence and it's really nice to see. As for the complete wardrobe change, that's something I do pretty often and I can confirm it's so fun. I will donate basically my entire wardrobe except for sentimental or favorite pieces and just start over. I've discovered so many different styles and unique ways of expressing myself that I think I never would have found if I had picked 'a style' that I would wear forever. Fashion and beauty etc. Are one of the very few ways we have complete control over how we express and present our inner selves to the world and it's boring not to experiment and figure out new ways to do that!
I really like seeing you in Kelsey’s vlogs. You’re relaxed, nonchalant, effortlessly funny. Videos like that and casual ones like these are nice to watch. Always lookin forward to see you just doin you, livin the dream 🤙🏻 lol
First of all, being open to respond to criticism is incredibly mature and I applaud you for that. Second of all, the world has felt upside going on two years and we are all just trying to figure our lives out, there is no rush. I hope you are able to get that excitement back with video editing, we’ll be here supporting you in the meantime🤙🏼
cody, i showed your videos to my sister and best friend several years ago and they STILL watch you. some of our best inside jokes are from your videos, old and new. we love you so much, don’t stop being you❤️
Videos like this remind me why I continue to watch the shit out of your content and Noel’s. You guys are comedic as hell yet still insanely down to earth and humble and straightforward human beings.
The world is one depressive incident after the other and has been for years. It craps on your creativity and inspiration. I’ve felt stuck for way too long. Keep doing you Chodester. No one should make you feel bad for experiencing a block. Your content always chills me out for a little while and I love that. I think a lot would agree.
As a fellow old-person, watching you since Vine, it’s crazy to see how much you’ve matured as a creator and self-aware adult in general. This video was so real, would love to see more like this
Dear Cody We fucking love you dawg. Thanks for the years of amazing content. Your transparency is commendable but don't be too hard on yourself. Go get that fresh start man
Cody just seems like the most genuine person on RU-vid frl, he seems like a real person and I absolutely love that about him. Pleaseee keep making videos Cody you constantly make me laugh when I’m having a bad day:)
That was a real nice moment when talking about the content going downhill. This shit is hard, and I didn't even think about him starting a family. Much respect for how you answered that comment dude
I've been watching your videos since 2016, and it's amazing to see the progress you've made. You and Noel have grown so much, and it feels like you're starting to find your creative style and are getting closer to accomplishing your goals as creators. Keep it up Cody, you're doing great!
I love finding content creators commenting in Cody's vids, because it means they watch Cody, which in turn means they are almost always the kind of content I'm interested in. For example, this comment led me to check out your channel, and you, Mr. Edinger, just got yourself a subscriber!
I can even begin to imagine how hard it is to work with creativity, it is super normal to run out of different ideas but you're still funny as hell and your recent videos still make my week a lot better. we see and appreciate your honesty and your hard work to make us laugh so please take care of yourself and your family! :)
Props on facing the criticism. People are quick to be a couch arm critic. It’s nice to see a public figure be transparent, down to Earth, and include comic relief on a tough subject that I’m sure a lot of people in the spotlight deal with. Thanks for all the videos man!
I really feel like some fans feel entitled to have content their way. Art would not be what art is if we didn’t let the artist have free range. Imagine the constant criticism. When analytics make more sense and are more objective, yet we are human and still get dragged down by the opinions of strangers. Have empathy.
I literally love the jubilee videos please dont stop doing them. You’re so amazing and so genuine and deserve so much. Cant wait to see you start a family with kelsey
I have been noticing a lot of the creators I watch dealing with similar criticisms. It is really frustrating to see. You are still human, and people talking about your career like they have any idea of the effort this sort of production takes. I don't blame anyone for ceasing to watch a certain creator because they no longer relate to the content, but making a fuss about it in their personal forum just seems like egocentricism to me, rather than constructive criticism. We already know negative comments tend to impact our mentality a lot harsher than positive ones, and it takes 0 effort to keep disheartening comments to yourself. Social media influencers/creators have a much more interpersonal relationship w their audience than mainstream celebrities, and that makes a big difference on how negativity can affect them. Love you Cody; you have so much to be proud of! Not many can say they have accomplished what you have.
I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it is to constantly try to come up with new and creative content all the time. I think you're doing a great job and I actually enjoy the jubilee and house tour content because of what you bring to it. anyway, I appreciate you tackling the criticism, even though it's not even deserved. you being 100% authentic is part of what keeps me coming back to your content. ❤️
All of the TMG shows are great, imo. I wasn't expecting such an emotionally deep experience, when I clicked on this video; but, I really respect that you were willing to talk to so frankly, on camera. I don't know whether or not I could handle that as well as you did. Best wishes to you, and your family, dude.
Hi Cody, yeeeeeah buddy, low and slow is the way to go bro. Also we will always love you, despite your stature challenges ❤️🦐. Also LASTLY I don't think you're going downhill, everything runs in cycles. Just make sure you're doing right by yourself and your family/loved ones.
Yes, completely. No one can be 100%, top of their game all the time. Sometimes there will be content that just doesn't hit as hard. That said, I think overall Cody's content quality is pretty consistent.
I started listening to the TMG podcast recently while studying and I am absolutely loving their content. They're jokes are organic and so much funnier, I'm also excited for the future of the brand in general. I feel like their creativity really comes through.
i absolutely love your videos, regardless of if you feel like you’re on autopilot or not, whether you feel like you’re pushing out less creative content or not!!! i really enjoy those videos and hope you keep doing them❤️
Brand new fan/watcher here, and I've been straight up binge watching your videos with dinner this past month or so. Everything you put out is fun, and I'm stoked to have found this second channel too. And a podcast?? Feeling spoiled here. But seriously, you could put anything out and it's be enjoyable, you just have such a great comedy style and you're a great dude. Some people have massive expectations and think that they're owed content - at least that's how I see it. Do what you love, the real ones will follow either way
Honestly, I really enjoy these simple “inside the mind of Cody” type videos, where you just talk to us and share stuff with us. It’s the kind of content that got me to subscribe! You’re doing great.
i absolutely adore every video u put out & i love how often u post it’s not watered down to me at all in any way. most YTers never post so it’s refreshing to always have something new from u
this is a really important, grounded, and mature video from you. really appreciate your honesty and your perspective. especially because you acknowledge but don't seem defeated. your mindset seems really healthy.
I think that while the videos you're reacting/commenting on on the main channel is repetitive (The Cut kind of stuff), I always love to hear what you have to say and the jokes you crack! Like every one feels a little different and they are funny in their own way. And it's normal to be stuck in a rut or be in a cycle for a while, but you're DEF not going downhill. You're just rockin with a theme right now and many people like the content!
losing my mind over the thought of cody and kelsey having kids, watching cody talk about how he got tickets to a concert for a girl he really liked to now him being engaged and talking about having a family soon. so happy for them 🥺❤️
Wait your reviews of the cut videos and house tours are some of my favorite on this site. Also love your videos of ridiculous reality shows and any with Kelsey too! I seriously look forward to your videos every week. It's normal for your channel to evolve over time and I support it!!
I just wanna say I really liked this vibe. I’ve been a fan for years and I really enjoy the videos you put out. It’s really cool to see where you are now compared to when you first started and there’s nothing wrong with reaping the rewards of the work you put in. Everyone deserves to have some laid back vibes now and then.
Your honesty and transparency is one of the reasons why you have such a loyal fan base. It’s really refreshing to have a content creator who’s a genuine person that will just keep it real with us. Its so taboo for creators to acknowledge the fact that money plays a role, but I think it’s actually a really interesting facet to all of this. It’s a little peak behind the curtain we usually don’t get with other people. I also feel like when creators humanize themselves by being honest, it in turn causes the public to allow them more slack for being human- if that makes sense.
for reals tho cody, we appreciate that you’re still making content despite not feeling inspired to do it. proud of you for pushing through. get that bag my guy.
1 the recent videos on the main are pretty funny and I actually like the relaxed content 2 tmg pod has consistently been the funniest thing on the platfom 3 I don't think comparing the new pods with one that has been going on for years is really not fair
I love cody he is so funny and I always look forward to any video he puts out because he always makes it entertaining even if it is just the jubilee or the house tours. TMG has been putting in the work too and i love all of the stuff they have been putting out ans excited for whats to come for their company. Keep up the work cody im sure new inspiration will come to you in time!
