its easy money even easier when you react to videos out of something you enjoy like music, but hes clearly a very sensible guy who cant totally deal with having a following
@@slick3996 he apologized every time he had an opinion, and it was clear with his attitude he didn't really care for the music too much anymore, really obnoxious tbh
I really hope Brad comes back and manages to find better people to surround himself with. I don't agree with everything he's ever said but I don't need to, because I'm not 15 years old and my life doesn't revolve around Twitter discourse and Discord servers. I'd be happy just to see videos from him, if the livestreams don't feel like an option.
I left a comment earlier that was incredibly misinformed; I had only gotten my info from hearsay but after actually looking in Brad's server, I realise there's a lot of things that people are getting wrong. For one, from what I can gather, the rebrand to 'Auxcord' was already a thing that was going to happen outside of the drama, as the server had grown to a pojnt beyond Brad's audience and the rebrand felt fitting; all the drama just happened to coincide with it. Several mods that have disassociated w/ Brad publicly are still on speaking terms w/ Brad and haven't completely cut him off, so it's not some big betrayal or anything. Secondly, one of said mods spoke to Brad in private and found out that Brad is simply just taking a few weeks off and him unlisting all his videos is simply just part of his own personal internet detox, not some freakout self sabotage. He is eventually going to come back and relist everything. The server itself is sort of 50/50 split between people who do and don't support him, but regardless, most people are being very respectful towards him personally. As I said earlier, I think this whole thing has been completely blown out of proportion and is certainly not career ending, and I definitely think Brad can come back from this. I hope things get better from here ❤
Brad, please dude, stand up for yourself and don't bend to your audience's will. They are not you, they do not control you, they should not control you, and I hate to have seen this happen. Best of luck in the future man, I hope you can find it to return, I love your content.
I've been watching Brad's videos, reactions, and livestreams for a hot-minute now. And I can say, confidently, Brad's fanbase that he has cultivated (not all of you, but a small but loud handful) are some of the worst virtue-signaling, quick-to-eat-your-own folks ever. Praying for Brad on this hiatus :) Smh. Guess I'm gonna have to make due with Shawn Cee, ImDontai, and Fantano in the meantime. But Brad is up there with those guys as my favorite music reactors. Hope the cool members of this fanbase are doing well too. Sincerely hope you are doing things for your self-care, mental health, etc. Prayer and meditation help me. Genuinely love quite a few of you in chat. I'm often in there as Kermit. I just like fun music reactions, not drama. Not looking to get on an eternal moral high-horse behind a keyboard. I'll leave that to some of ya'll.
wth did he do anyway? as far as i know, brad took a picture with H3H3 [ someone whose views differ from that of most of his fanbase]. thats all it takes for them to nuke the mans whole damn career? a picture with someone they dont agree with? is there more to the story? was he even the one who deleted his own videos? i have so many questions
@@Rasan07 Nope, it was just a picture. That's it. That's how fucking stupid this situation is and how snakey those people he trusted are. They kicked him out of his own discord community, rebranded it, all because of a picture with people they don't like. There's not much else to tell you, it's really that fucking bullshit.
Really sad to see what is happening right now. I discovered Brad about a year and a half ago when I first started to get into music. Because of him, I've been able to expand my music tastes and I've been introduced to some awesome music through his content. Really hoping he will take the time he needs and come back stronger.
Brad genuinely has some of the worst fans I've ever seen in a youtuber's fanbase. He has not deserved even a shred of how this community has treated him. His fans bullied him into taking a hiatus from the job he makes a living from, and then when he called in to the H3 podcast to apologize and wrap up some useless drama, the fans shut down his subreddit and I'm pretty sure his discord server too. I am in absolute disbelief that this content creator has been murdered by his own fanbase over such inconsequential mistakes.
Facts tbh. First time even caring to really interact with anyone else just due to how toxic it seemed right off rip but Brad didn't come across the same way some of his community does. not everyone is a bad apple tho and I def think he fucked up but don't we all lmfao
He was his own downfall, you need to shut that behaviour down as soon as it starts to remind your fans that they are just that, fans, and they don't get a say in what you do. Instead he bent over and begged for approval, which is the worst thing you should do, and this is the consequence.
I personally think he’s made the right decision to remove himself from the Internet for some time, but I do agree that some of the people in his fanbase has really blown this way out of proportion particularly on the subreddit. Everyone makes mistakes at the end of the day
Brad, you was weak, thats ok, thats normal, but in the end everything gonna be alright, even if you dont come back to youtube, or start to grow stronger, everything gonna keep going on, i love you and i hope you are ok.
Man this sucks, I’ve been a fan and consistent viewer for years, the rose stuff sucks, all of this sucks, I adored this channel and this community of half a decade, I really hope he comes back soon, refreshed and move forward despite the small controversy. I don’t like what I see but I don’t think it’s all that deep, reguarding the rose and Ethan stuff. I’m just hoping for an update, a small apology and getting back to business. Brads videos were a haven for me, him and hivemind are the only 2 channels I give half a damn about anymore
he shouldn't apologize at all. he needs to prove he isn't spineless. because right now why would you want to watch someone who doesn't even believe what they are saying, especially when his channel revolves around his opinion
Hey Brad if you end up seing this, I know you can overcome this mental turmoil you are in and you deserve a long break. I hope you'll relist all of the other videos soon, you shouldnt be ashamed of them. Please take all the time you need to heal and I hope you'll feel better soon. Peace be with you brother. You have my support
to everyone saying he’s “spineless”, or a “lolcow” you’re no different than the Twitter weirdos who cancelled him. This drama doesn’t matter, to judge someone’s entire chatavhyer over some dumb Twitter drama is wild. go outside ya’ll
Brad definitely fucked up by platforming Rose, but I dont think that privating all his videos is really the solution. While I can definitely agree that Brad taking a break is a smart thing to do, I don’t think he should be getting rid of his main source of income as well as unlisting so many videos people probably like a lot and want to rewatch later on. I don’t think Brad is a bad person at all, but I do think he messed up and I hope him well.
He's taking a break and doing an internet detox. Probably the best decision I've seen any internet personality make after getting into serious drama that could carry mental health ramifications. Hope he comes back soon, but also if he needs extra time that's no issue either
Even after everything that happened, I still don't hate you. I don't see you as irredeemable. But I don't think you have the right mindset to have a channel this big. You've talked about your lifelong battles with anxiety before, and it seemed like this channel made them worse. I get that you want to keep your audience as much as possible, and I doubt most people in your position would do anything differently. But eventually, you have to put your foot down at some point. You need to set boundaries with your audience. Or at least keep them at arms length. I don't know much about the rose situation, but it really seemed you were just lashing out at your audience after getting involved with so many controversies. I don't really know how long you'll be gone for. But honestly, I think you should take way more than a few weeks off. These are life-long problems you have. You can't just go on vacation for a few weeks and have things go back to square one. I think you need a year at least. Take that break, brad. I'll see you when you return.
if anyone has interest in watching some of his older videos that he took down, you can still access a good few of them through the playlists he's created. Let's all hope he comes back- more sure of himself in order to make more great content.
Brad, although I personally do not think you should have experienced what you have recently been going through, I hope that you can learn from this and grow to be better. You mustn't let yourself be pushed and pulled around by an audience of your own making. I do wish you the best, and hope to see you again as a changed man.
@@operationd--msday ???? I'd hate you as equally if you let random people on the internet trample over you and bully you into apologizing for something so negligible
man i really discovered some cool song due to his videos, he could be pretentious and divisive at times but.... wtf? why? this is all so unecessary lmao, at least live the vids anyone archived a channel for it? aparently he'll come back and list all the vids again, pog
I know you are reading each of these comments brad, and as a lifetime fan stay safe. What you did is something that i, as a younger edgier man, dont really see as somthing even remotely bad. While i disagree with what your friend rose said i dont really care and would have kept watching (i dont have twitter so that might help). Anyways brad if you are done with youtube( or at least brad taste in music) dont let it discourage you. I know you have said countless times how much this channel means to you, when it was threatened with being removed you looked destroyed in a way i know you didnt fake. This is your passion, you just need to mature a bit, but you can return for sure. Just look out for yourself it may seem like your world is ending but it isnt, there is still a lot more in your life to keep going for. Keep strong on your sobriety (ill quit one day too i promise :) love you brad
Allegedly his moderates have privated all his videos and locked Brad out of his RU-vid account and social media. Because he commited the ‘horrific crime’ of going on the h3 podcast.
Brad is the epitome of what not to be in a man, let alone a person. Constantly appeasing and licking the boots of anyone who expresses discomfort. Not believing in anything at all, because believing in something could upset someone.
@@esbenm6544 what am I bandwagoning..? I didn’t know the guy existed 2 weeks ago, but for 2 weeks this guy has been on an absolute warpath of destroying his public image in the sake of appeasing whiny babes online
@@esbenm6544 explain it like I’m five.. so a random person tomorrowblows themselves up on Minecraft TV, and I go “damn that is awful” you respond “heh.. stupid bandwagoner.. you just found out about this guy today???” Well yeah, I did, because he did something that got a lot of attention on social media. Did I understand that properly? I have to know and have an opinion on every person in the world? It would be bandwagoning if I had a horse in the race, maybe. If I was some staunch Israel supporter or diehard pro-Palestine person. But Brad is embarrassing because he doesn’t stand for ANYTHING. He just grovels to whatever group is currently yelling in his face
@@Subgenrelol You're doing a pretty good job of explaining it like you're five yourself. Except you don't seem to see that you're the one taking it upon yourself to have an opinion on every person in the world. And how you make out like this is some kind of chore, doesn't match your clear enthusiasm for doing so.
Well, rather than develop a backbone and call out the disruptive nutters who make up his community (as BRAD HIMSELF HAS ADVISED PEOPLE TO DO in situations like this), Brad capitulated to their demands and apologised to them, basically agreeing to let them do whatever they want to/for him in future and can speak over and for him whenever they like. And all of that just because his community decided that he wasn't celebrating HAMAS enough, is just the cherry on top. "You get what you [...] deserve Murray"
I have a playlist of a handful of his videos on my profile if anybody misses his content (they aren't re-uploads, his videos were unlisted so if they r in playlists they r still watchable)
No, he unlisted the videos himself. Also, his mods on his discord kicked him out and rebranded it to "auxcord" cus they don't want to be associated with brad. This is what happens when your backbone doesn't exist. Born outside a jellyfish, I gauge
@@yourunclejoe9500 more like moderators committed a felony takeover of a business as its private and completely owned by brad. they can go to jail and will have to pay damages.
@shahzainalisharif4125 and how many people in Brad's audience support grape apologists? Probably close to zero. I don't know the context of whether he supports this Rose character or not, but it probably isn't a big deal. Maybe in theory it is, but if nothing becomes of it, it didn't matter.
I hope you're doing well, Bradthew. I'm sorry that people online have effectively bullied you into shutting down something you love. I don't think you're a bad person for seeing H3, and I don't think you are a bad person for trying to promote someone you thought was trying to better themself. Sure, some of her takes and tweets are horroble, and she seems like a poo person, but YOU aren't. You were just trying to be a good friend. Take all the time you need, but I seriously hope you're doing okay, and aren't taking to heart the outrage. Take care of yourself. Love, a casual viewer, and a fellow human being.
I had a dream he deleted his channel. The fact Brad is living rent free in my dreams is probably not a good thing, and I try not to be parasocial, but I want him to be well if for no other reason than he’s provided much entertainment.
Brad shed the dead weight. You have a lot of people that followed you, and then thought they could control you and your personal values and opinions, at least from how it seems. Don't use twitter and don't worry about trying to satisfy everyone. You never will, and from how stuff has been going lately it seems like you are the kind of person that gets affected pretty hard by that kind of endeavor if it doesn't go well. That's okay. You, a single person shouldn't have to worry about that. Anything besides you encouraging your followers to harass someone isn't your problem. You can't vet the people that follow you, and bad people will do bad things in your name whether you tell them to or not. Such is the way of the internet, and having a sizeable following Be yourself, make the same ole fun to watch content, and the real ones will stick with you.
ok i dont know whatever controversy brad is in rn and i dont care i wanna discover more of his old videos, like his reactions to fantano lists etc. so whatever tf it is can yall like just move on so we can have his content back??
@Anunnamedtank You probably already found this out as well then but if you go to the Playlist section on his channel all his old videos are there. He simply unlisted them but you can still watch any he put in a playlist.
From his twitter: "Thank you to my community for noticing that I was not doing okay and for showing me that I need a break from the internet for a little bit I’ll be offline on most platforms for the next 7 days before deciding if I’m ready to return"
@@williewilson2250 I'm not entirely sure but Brad apparently got into some drama (on the receiving end) which led to him unlisting the vast majority of his content and taking an internet break I think? No matter the case I hope he's able to recover from this and, in the case he comes back, he's able to take things slower.
The amount of comments I’ve been seeing on this video about how brads fans or audience are either “the worst” or “he needs to step away from them” is driving me insane. Like dude I get it they’re bad lmao
The people running his discord turned on him. Pretty much the community he built there abandoned him for a picture. He has tough skin but very few have tough enough skin to bear their friends, followers and circles' betrayal. I agree the tweets apologising weren't great, but he probably was panicking at what happened. Give him a bit of a break.
He needs to learn to figure out what is actual good feedback or toxicity, he doubled down on things he shouldn’t have and took some things more attention and seriousness than he should have. Losing respect for some1 bc they want to grow is a sign of ur own insecurity and stubbornness.
@@bigchungus5oo160 change your thinking for what? The guy took pictures with his idol and he's somehow at fault? Give me a break. The guy admitted he was spineless on Twitter because he caves into everything that the fans say without thinking for himself. That's the definition of spineless
There were some stupid decisions and things I don’t agree with. But nothing that happened should cause you to lose all this. I don’t know you but person to person I hope you’re doing alright and doing your best to take care of yourself. You can rebuild and recover, you just can’t focus on the internet horde that gets off on dragging people because you won’t win. Criticism is deserved. Cancellation is not. Take care dude.
"But nothing that happened should cause you to lose all this" i dont think he should lose his career, but being spineless especially with this niche is a very good reason to stop watching him. his entire career depends on his opinions, but spineless people don't even believe their own opinions, so why watch him.
ok i’m just gonna put this out here for no reason at all. i genuinely don’t think brad is in the right place mentally to be on the internet like.. ever. the whole breakdown thing just proves that
You can find the majority of his videos in playlist in this same channel. If you scroll for some minutes, you should be able to find the videos you want to see, but I think there are some of them that are actually deleted. I had the same problem. Hope this helps. 🍫⭐🐟
