What's Happening to the Fung Bros? 

Same! I also missed out on the "golden age" of youtube, sadly. T_T So, this video was helpful in explaining the history and relevance of Asian content creators.

Hi, sorry for the irrelevant question, do you recommend any other asian american vloggers? Im an asian american whos learning to embrace my asian side being in a latino dominant community for so long. Been trying to learn more about my culture.

Dude was not trying to bring them down he was just making an observation lol. I noticed it too and it's sad their channel has been in decline but it's because Asian Americans are the minority.

I don't think he's causing division...just decided to make a video observing growth of the Fung Bros channel. Fungs can however do whatever they want as they've amassed a good fortune doing YT and subsequently investing in other money making opportunities they're passionate about as well. Also, the Fungs are now W2s to RU-vid as well...they even mentioned that YT is paying for their phat 2 BR/2 BA apartment complex in Manhattan. Their compensation from YT is probably more tied to meeting a quota of releasing higher quantities of videos per week opposed to subscribers/views like it used to be as a 1099 LLC.

I watched the video and I don't think he was trying to bring their platform down.

Wtf are you smoking. Did you even watch the whole video? He isn't hating at all, just pointing something out that he noticed.

What feeling?

Did you watch their old content as well? I think their new videos appeal to a more niched demographic (which is a subset of their old demographic)

@@ChangNation You talking about their videos from circa 2014? Yea I did. Their new videos aren't as trendy??? But their new style of just talking and discussing topics are pretty interesting.

​@@JCK119There takes on south Asians and Indians are really bad.

justkiddingnews is a good Asian channel too

Their old content must've tapped into a different market since it was also Asian content but each video went super viral

@@ChangNation I believe their "old content" is what got Strictly Dumpling to 4.22 million subscribers....almost double of what the Fungs have now...which doesn't include Mikey Chen's personal channel possessing 1.6 million subs. Goes to show how much further you could possibly "go on your own" but Fungs are luckily very much diversified in their biz dealings away from YT as well.

I created separate channels for those topics: 💪 Fitness: www.youtube.com/@changnationfitness 🚀 Self-Improvement: www.youtube.com/@changmode

@@ChangNation awesome bro!! I absolutely had no clue you had those other channels. I just subbed to them 💪🤵‍♂️

Peterchao is goated

WongFu and JK get more views; however, total views for all channels are down compared to their prime

@@ChangNation Do you think they compete or cooperate?

🤡🤡

Naw they usually don't lol

Good call - I didn't follow that channel but looks like they made some solid Asian content back in the day

I watched some of their videos back in the day. What were the "unfortunate events" that happened to them?

@@samhayet4286they’re followers of falun gong

Lol I mainly talk about the "Lus" to raise awareness so that people know that this is the minority of Asian women who happen to be extremely vocal about their preferences. I wish I had that type of content when I was growing up, would've made it easier for me to be proud of being Asian at a younger age

@@ChangNation same

@@ChangNation What is "Lus"?

Interesting point - I think they take that approach to come off less polarizing and more PC

I would say they are up to the job but probably scared to take more firmer stances. Truthfully they do have more knowledge on Asian-American topics than 99% of Asian Americans. They’ve showed they know and try to learn at least a bit of language and culture from the foods they’ve eaten and none of my Asian American friends are researching into articles and statistics regarding Asian Americans like they do. They’ve lived in numerous cities and always give credits to the cheap Asian restaurants which says something rather than just promoting rich area restaurants. They grew up in south Seattle as I do which is also a huge center for different Asian American ethnicities and speak about their friends from there

Fungs are trying to act as the mouthpiece for incel Asian male virgins who spend much of their time on Reddit and the bitter boards. Everything they talk about is pulled straight from the Asian male fantasy forum subreddits.

“East Asian IQs being even higher for adoptees.” Do you have a superiority complex? There is literally no research to support this farce of a claim. In any event it’s fair to say that most Asian adoptees are adopted into white middle-class families that are generally well off. Measure of intelligence has NOTHING to do with race. Think before you post fake observations. Additionally your post has a slight tinge of racism. You mentioned a “certain group” has been targeting Asians and committing certain crimes and you are expecting someone else to criticize them assuming that this is best for the Asian American community. If you need empathy go to therapy. There is no reason to use fire to fight fire. You judging a group based solely on what you see on the news makes you well.. a complete ignorant. Violence is not right but neither is calling out people based on their skin color. I say this as an Asian American myself. The Fung bros don’t need hate. By them choosing a side they risk cancellation from the other group. It’s a lose-lose situation. Hence being the middleman in this situation is actually the wiser thing to do. If you want respect from every race you can’t pity one over the other. That is not how equality works

@@misoandramen​​⁠​⁠You fundamentally misunderstand what I’m talking about. You are the one who only watches news, because I have literally looked at the statistics behind my claims and will now provide studies and sources for you to peruse if you truly aren’t ignorant and supposedly do more than just watch the news: first up - Asian IQ! Different ethnic groups have different average IQs, this was pointed out in Charles Murray’s The Bell Curve in 1994. Activists, calling him racist, asked the American Psychological Association to test themselves to debunk his racism. The APA found a persistent 15 IQ gap between white and black populations in America, the same one that Murray mentioned. At no level are these average IQ differences contested within professional institutions, although the explanations for the gaps are contested. Thankfully, we have twin studies to control for variables like environment! IQ has a very high hereditary component, and things such as the Minnesota Twin Studies have confirmed that environment in a developed country plays very little role by adulthood in regards to the gap itself. Throughout these studies, the fifteen point IQ gap between whites and blacks persisted. These IQ gaps between white and blacks, and between Asians and whites, have been observed for roughly a century or so. East Asians have an IQ roughly a third of a standard deviation higher than that of whites, on average, a standard deviation in IQ being 15 points, the same space between the average white and average black person. Again, these gaps are NOT CONTESTED by any professional body. Now lets look at adoption studies where these adopted East Asians, raised in only white middle class environments in societies apparently prejudiced against them, managed to outperform other middle class white kids. The intelligence of Korean children adopted in Belgium (1992) and Does age at adoption and geographic origin matter? A national cohort study of cognitive test performance in adult inter-country adoptees (2008), which is about Korean adoptees in Sweden. Both groups of Korean adoptees, raised in about average white Swedish and Belgian families, outperformed white Swedes and Belgians of the same strata. Looking at SAT data, we can see that the poorest bracket of white students performs roughly on par with the richest bracket of black students, and that the poorer Asian students perform roughly as well as the more middle-class white students. This is the reason for affirmative action, and why Asians are (were?) given that handicap. Without any restrictions, the top campuses of our country would look overwhelmingly Asian (mostly East Asian with some Brahmins) and white (of which Ashkenazi Jews would be overrepresented due to their academic talent). The stereotype behind Asians (mostly East Asians and fairer South Asian Brahmins) being smart is because, ON AVERAGE, they are smarter. Are there dumber East Asians? Sure, but proportionately less than that of other groups. Being on a bell curve (normal distribution), roughly 15% of black people are smarter than the average white person, or about 7 million black people nationally. However, roughly 85% of black people are less smart than the average white person. This has been roughly known since WEB DuBoise recognized a “talented tenth” among the black population. Lastly lets look at violent hate crimes against Asians, shall we? Thanks to the handy-dandy FBI Data Explorer tool, we can see Anti-Asian hate crimes of the past two and four years controlled by ethnic background of the perpetrator. Roughly ~50% of anti-Asian hate crimes were perpetrated by white people (this includes the vast majority of Hispanics under “white” despite most being mestizos, so it’s even inflated). Despite this, White people make up over 60% of the U.S. population, meaning they are UNDER-REPRESENTED when it comes to anti-Asian hate-crimes, in respect to the size of America’s white population. African Americans, on the other hand, make up roughly ~30% of anti-Asian hate crimes, despite being only 13% of the population. This means that they are OVER-REPRESENTED, and, per capita, they are twice as likely as white people to commit an anti-Asian hate crime, and their overrepresentation increases if we narrow it down to violent hate crimes. Even when we disregard explicit hate crimes, African Americans are disproportionately those behind the murders and robbings of Asian-Americans. This isn’t “the news”, this is statistical reality and the broader picture of things on a national scale. Now, will you actually look at the facts presented, or will you continue to arrogantly believe that the handful of anecdotes that television or newspapers provide you is the full story?

@@misoandramenBefore asking, “is it -ism”, ask, “is it true or is it false?” if you want actual, accurate answers to the world we live in. What if the world we live in is one where what one would call “-ism” is simply the truth? How could one know? A good place to start is the fact that different demographics have different average IQs, that all professional bodies at least begrudgingly recognize this, and that these IQ gaps are resistant against literally any measure-able control variable, whether that be class and economic background, family structure, etc. When people attribute dysfunction to “socio-economics”, they never seem to even entertain the idea that the causality might, in most cases, be the other way around. People in China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are far less violent than African Americans, who, on average, have a higher income than them. Keep in mind that the countries listed make up over half the world’s total population, for which the common theories of criminology seemingly do not apply to them. Now you might be thinking, what about the fact America has more guns? Well lets look at homicide rate vs gun ownership rate. When doing so by states, one finds an almost perfect non-correlation, a straight line. Even looking at the major urban areas of gun-crazy states like Boise, one finds a very low homicide rate. West Virginia, as dysfunctional as it is, has a homicide rate that only hovers around the middle of the list, despite being the fourth poorest.

Why do you find Asian American media "corny"?

I feel issues the Fungs have stem from being slaves to just putting out content like crazy since graduating from college. I mean this effort definitely made them well off from a monetary standpoint but they never got to overcome their demons/insecurities from an individual standpoint going off....traveling the world on their own...making new friends, etc. If they did interact with new people, it was always done on a collective two brothers at the same time basis with an agenda to use for their new videos. Look at acting comedians such as Jim Carrey & the late Robin Williams for example...so much time, blood, sweat, and tears trying to make it in the entertainment industry to the point of both guys struggling immensely with their insecurities & confidence issues in relation to their dating lives.

String field theory, Okazaki fragments, antiretroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS, fractional quantum Hall effect. Plenty of Asians who won Nobel prizes in STEM. Chinese also invented gunpowder, paper, printing, and the magnetic compass

Didn't you say you're a woman?

Yeah but people today watching anime, listen to kpop, playstation, using japanese car, etc... and they are all Asian products

Gun powder. Thomas Edison didn’t create the light bulb he stole the idea from his slave

What a troll job
