im mad that he clearly was referring to the palestine fundraisers when he said "i see my peers raising millions of dollars for charity, i could do so much with a fraction of that" feels so tone deaf? palestinians need that money too jake. if he cares about philanthropy, he shouldnt see other charities as competition. he should be happy people are donating to any charity. along with in the livestream, a fan says that his charity helped their moms surgery and his response was "thats not....i appreciate it but nobody is gonna believe it" who cares if ppl believe it!! he should care that someone got help! it all makes it look like he doesnt care about people getting help, he just wants credit for it.

[@NylaTheWolf]

Wtf that's a horrible thing to say to a fan who's grateful that you helped their mom 😭😭😭

[@thaloblue]

I would argue, and I say this with two chronic health conditions and three chronic mental health conditions, that fleeing from a war torn country is a bit more pressing than my surgery bill. I can put that bill on credit, I can file for indigence, I have ways to buy myself time… bombs are not delayed by anything. Am I happy? No. Are my issues the most pressing issues on planet earth? Also no. Are the palestinians happy?? Definitely not.

Bro really got heated that people donated money to the victims of what has been dubbed a "mass disabling event" 😭 like what do you want?

ew…now THATS not it

[@AuthentiKaate]

It’s kinda like the money isn’t JUST for charity then if he’s going to get so jealous and angry and greedy about it. When I want money for myself, I’ve always been more emotionally invested in it than when I’m donating to or raising for charity. Because it’s directly tied to my individual needs. Just a thought

[@IbleArt]

Him click baiting with two abusers of women has pissed me off

[@rabbit6546]

I genuinely for the life of me cannot comprehend how he thought it would be in any way appropriate to make a thumbnail like that while the theme of his video was talking about his charity, the only conclusion on what he was thinking that i can draw is that he knew people would click if they thought it was about the predatory men of the commentary community and he wanted to exploit that which is such a disgusting disregard to the trauma of the women involved

[@mariac4127]

[@tmamone83]

Right? It makes you think it's about the KZbin commentary community enabling abusers or something like that. But no, Jake's just mad that people didn't donate to his charity. (I don't follow Jake much so I didn't even know he had a charity.)

[@Doodlebopp]

As a chronically ill person, i get the frustration of able bodied people seemingly not caring if we live or die, but at the same time, jake doolittle is the last person i would trust with my money. He's showed with the whole ethan fiasco that there's a hierarchy in his head of who is actually sick/disabled and who is faking for attention. Also his charity is very vague, and he treats every attack on him as an attack on his charity or on chronically ill people as a whole.

[@Jimmiwashere]

The other thing is he has no way of knowing if they do anything to support chronically ill or disabled people or not, he just knows they don't support *his* charity. Which actually, he can't one-hundred percent even know that, can't folks make anonymous donations typically? But he really shouldn't assume they don't care about his cause just because they don't donate to him. I don't donate to Autism Speaks but I very much care about autistic folk and donate to other autism charities, participate in mutual aid, etc.

[@xoxoglo]

@@Jimmiwashereautism speaks is also said to be a not so good charity for autistic people.

[@flerrrrrrrrrrrp2997]

as a chronically ill person, I get really frustrated when other chronically ill people emotionally extort people and act as if the majority of society doesn't care. Most people I've met DO care and will do their best to accomodate, but if you come at everyone whining and acting like life is only hard for you, then it's aggravating and it's not your health that's making me seemingly not care if you live of die, it's your fucking dog shit attitude. Also, as a chronically ill person, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE IS CHRONICALLY ILL and many chose to never talk about it and that's also fine. Us not sharing what's going on with our health with the world doesn't mean we're "able bodied", it just means we know we have a personality and chose not to engage people through pity. You're not entitled to know how my body is nor what my relationship with my body is and just because some things are different doesn't mean I wish to consider my body "unable" and fail to recognize everything it is very much able to do, much of which required A LOT of work on my part. Being chronically ill and being able bodied don't need to be mutually exclusive, and I'm fed up with people who think it does. Nothing entitles ANYONE to knowledge of other's health status. And calling people "able bodies" WHEN YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHATS GOING ON, the way Céline Dion was out there on stage doing her best while her muscles were so tight her bones were breaking or Lady Gaga has fibromyalgia AND NEVER COMPLAIN OR ASK FOR PITY, others with less financial means and less fame are going through the same thing and not acting mightier than thou calling themselves "chronically ill/disabled" or cannot afford to get a diagnosis and have to live in the exact same pain as you do but without medicine or a doctor telling them what's wrong and having to live their lives with none of the legal protection you enjoy. As a specifically white chronically ill person in a country with universal health care i'm observant enough to notice my own white privilege and be thankful I have access to medical care if need be, i'm still conscious that as a female, my body, by it's lack of penis, testicles and non-Y chromosome in my DNA, modern medicine has grossely neglected to consider my body in the past and still considers it too "abnormal" to be used in most clinical research so the medical literature is wholely inadequate to properly diagnose what might actually be wrong so I don't take capitalist medicine diagnosis as final i'm still open to what research might reveal, and i'm empathetic enough to not believe i'm the only person in pain in this world and that not everyone has to deal with my bullshit because they might have some of their own because when i'm having a bad health day and someone complains for the thousenth time about their own health without ever wondering how I'm doing or feeling because they already took for granted they got it worse (google "Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalgia type Chronic Cluster", then check out the pain section for shits and giggles). My legs work fine and I don't have any rashes so I guess my brain thinking it's going to swell out of my eyesocket and prepping its own face-birth by making me pee through my nose is not noticable enough to qualify as part of the disabled community because doctors don't treat this condition with endless trips to the hospital 100 times per year so I don't need to make it my whole personality? Or is it because the intensity of the pain causing my face to droop like i'm having a stroke every 2 seconds for 5 hours is just still too functional to be worthy of visibility? just to be sure of whom you might be calling "able bodied" in the future

[@KingOfGaymes]

@@Jimmiwashereautism speaks be awful so that’s a good thing tbh

[@Doodlebopp]

@@flerrrrrrrrrrrp2997 um im glad you have alot of people in you life who care but to say that the majority of society cares is simply untrue. Also as you say yourself, you are a white person, and as a white person, your health and wellbeing is taken way more seriously than that of poc. Im a person of color, and the world has shown time and time again that they do not care about disabled people, and especially diasbled people of color. We see it in the refusal to mask, the severe medical neglect and abuse that we face in western countries, financial aid refused, forced sterilization, procedures done without anesthia, medication refused because as people of color, we must be faking it or looking for an adrenaline high. I use able bodied because society is run and prefers people who function on that spectrun, and anyone who cant keep up is discarded like trash. Im not sure what made you so angry at my comment, but my comment is a very real and very disheartening state of reality that we as disabled people face. Just because you personally dont experience it doesnt mean thousands of us dont die and live in inhumane conditions due to the severe fascist ableism baked into our society.

[@IsisSururu]

Yes!!! Jake actually CARES so much about helping other people, hes so vocal about not wanting anyone to experience the lack of support he had, so thats why hes so protective of his project. Jake has lots of flaws on being too combative and harsh, he leashes out when hes mad and that drives people away. He deserves criticism but theres SOooo many people who DESPISE jake just because hes not a right wing grifter, it clouds their judgement. Jake is not a bad person, he needs to learn how to deal with frustration properly

[@Buncode7]

oh my god thank you LOL i thought i was the only one who noticed that. Alot of the videos on this topic are vicious and borderline just bullying. I was very appreciative of adam making this because ive been waiting to hear some non emotionally charged perspective on this. i dont think calling jake doolittle a soy boy or saying hes a little rat and you hate him is very...informational?

Yea, for some its difficult to not name call cause that's all they really know how to do. They can't think critically and actually focus on what the person did.

[@shoggothkid]

I think his issue is he’s made having a charity such an integral part of his personality that he takes it personally when people aren’t jumping at the opportunity to help out. He needs to separate himself from it and hire a PR person that at the very least will shut off his internet whenever he decides to make more mafia shakedown videos.

[@JKyall]

He needs to stay in his lane. The way he handled this is the golden rule of non-profit world. You can't force someone to give. He can't afford a PR person. All the work he and his "team" have done over the past TWO YEARS has only netted $12k in results.

[@firstbradley3281]

Or better yet he should just partner with an established charity organization. He could work with and learn from an experienced organization learning from them and apply it to his own.

[@mica9159]

[@randomlaughterislove]

I just don’t understand why he doesn’t go back to his photography career. He was literally a photographer for Billie Eilish’s concerts, which is a very impressive resume. To be fair, given his chronic pain, I can see why being a KZbinr would feel more manageable physically, but it’s definitely not good for him emotionally.

[@goopbuni]

he has talked extensively about how depressed he has been in the past, his suicidal thoughts and his feelings of hopelessness. i don’t think this career is mentally good for him. it’s starting to feel like more people who know him dislike him rather than like him. that can’t feel nice. idk if it’s just because he can’t get booked in anymore because he took such a long break from photography or because of his online persona

[@firstbradley3281]

Jake should see KZbin as a hobby and invest his time into a job that he can actually qualify for disability.

[@Spotless_World]

Yes. I’m genuinely scared for him rn.

[@Oposshroom]

He needs someone to ground him to reality before he becomes a lolcow

[@thaloblue]

As a chronically ill woman myself, I will NEVER have a public platform. I know just from watching what happens to others that it would be too much psychological stress for me and I would end up acting far outside of my values and character if provoked badly enough. Whatever I do for income, I want to retain my core identity as a moral and caring person. The internet is not built to bring those qualities out of anyone.

[@sibaibaiba]

It’s sad to me that this keeps happening with Jake He seems like a very passionate but also very sensitive person which isn’t a bad thing necessarily but he needs to learn to step back before reacting especially because he knows he can’t take the criticism well And of course it’s a personal situation which adds onto the emotions. it’s a hard situation

[@TheMarauderBandit]

i think it's clear that his mental health isn't the most stable (which is common with chronic illness/pain,,, which i also have & understand) & so i get why it's easy for him to get sucked in but atp i don't think this is working out for him at all

[@ginger_nspice]

I've noticed a pattern of Jake making unfair assumptions about other people. About other peoples' health, work ethic, finances, etc. Might be time to look inward.

[@SeamusLeGris]

Well put People who chronically bad faith everyone and their intentions sometimes have some deep rooted unresolved trauma. When I was being screened for cptsd, many of the questions were about literally that. How I interpreted other people, the world, mistrust, etc. Oddly enough that was the set of questions that made me realistic my cptsd wasn't as bad as it could be. I'm really grateful that I have such a positive view of other people, it's really hard to be the other way - because it's like a self fulfilling prophecy too.

[@jammawave]

I loved jake's channel like 2 years ago but now its just another low quality drama channel.. i wish he would make more unique content about his own intrests. I think it would be better for his mental health as well :(

[@jammawave]

Also there is a good amount of begging that goes into nonprofit fundraising. I've filled out a ton of grant applications and it is so frustrating. I completely understand it. But being a rat about it (even if it was warranted) is charity suicide. You get donations off of making people feel good about themselves. There was a healthy way to express this but Jake drove 2000 mph in the other direction.

[@Ilyfrd13]

I only watch jakes old streams now since they're comfort videos but yeah his vids have gotten low quality and boring

[@chaoreic]

i definitely agree that he should take a step back and focus on things he's genuinely interested in or things that make him happy. i stopped watching about 2 years ago because i could see how the constant barrage and coverage on negative things was doing things to his mental health, and it was reinforcing a lot of bitter and resentful feelings i was harboring at the time due to being diagnosed with cancer and stuck at home alone. i hope he is able to change priorities soon

[@gajoratte]

Considering how much he was impacted by Shane Dawson growing up chronically online from his disability and the targets usualy being creepy content geared toward or easily accessed by children it kind of makes sense to me that he would try to shine light on things. Plus it is his livelihood and source of income for charity and positive videos get less clicks.

It's SO unclear what he does with the money! The mission statement of "diagnosed, misdiagnosed and everything else" is so vague and then it says the money goes to "programs". What sort of programs? He could be using the money in a great way but he needs to be incredibly clear about who is receiving it, how they're selected and specifically how the money is spent. People will always opt for a well established charity with a good reputation over "that guy with the knee injury and Lyme disease from YT".

[@firstbradley3281]

It’s too vague I don’t understand why he didn’t partner with an established charity. There’s a lot of KZbinrs who do that and they’ve been extremely successful. Charities will actually listen to people’s input if they bring a lot of eyes to the cause.

[@tegantalks9612]

So, I do fundraising for a non-profit as part of my job, so I know a thing or two about soliciting donations: 1. Always be polite when asking people to donate to your cause. 2. When giving them information, keep things short and sweet. 3. Give them further information if they want it. 4. Be polite even if they tell you no. 5. Show gratitude for any yeses that you do get. Honestly if I acted like Jake did in the video at work, I would lose my job. The best way to get companies to donate and sponsor you is to make sure you keep good relationships with them and are always polite in your interactions.

[@mrbigweld1618]

I used to enjoy Jake's content, until you could tell his mental health was declining and he wasnt looking after himself in that aspect. His videos became more snarky and mean hearted imo. Also, his views and attitude on chronic pain/illness. I have chronic pain, have done since i was 11/12 and I'm now 22, i also have a sibling with debilitating chronic illnesses, so i get it. I understand the difficulties and especially being wheelchair reliant, but he was firmly in his victim mentality imo. We ARE victims of our circumstance, but that's it, and you have to get over that fact at somepoint; that there isn't a single person or even anyone TO blame and we ALL have to deal with that. I just felt like his anger towards his situation was redirected into his content and it was making it more mean spirited than when i started watching him. Moreover, drawing unrelated topics back to his struggles, which again i understand, but it felt like one big guilt trip or painting being disabled as some kind of life ending curse (it isnt you just have to have more support around you.) All of that just gave me a bitter outlook on him and my own life so i had to stop watching. It's a shame, but not surprising, to see him end up here.

[@vegasvalente5680]

Yes I watched him very early on and he got waaaaaay way meaner, which I guess brings in views but that’s not why I started watching him, anyone can be mean and snarky.

[@rVnsunshine]

Jake views Never Stop as THE charity for chronicly ill people. He forgets that it's not the only non-profit that supports the chronically ill.

And if he was as committed as he says to helping as many people as possible, he would promote an existing charity, instead of boosting his own ego.

It's tough because as someone with chronic illness, it's hard to have someone essentially act like not donating to his quite small charity means you don't care about people who suffer with chronic illness as a whole - I wouldn't donate to his charity if I were in the position of a fellow creator, would that mean I, a literal chronically ill medical student, essentially am a bad person who doesn't care about people with chronic illness? It drives me nuts. I've been watching him since your collab and his decline has been so steep.

[@localopa]

i’m chronically ill myself and i don’t see it that way. i think his aggravation is not “these people are bad for not donating” but more “these people are ignoring me when i ask them to donate or tell me now when i can see they have the ability to donate.” i’ve had this same angry energy when ive asked for donation and ive had friends tell me they can’t help me but then go and buy things that cost a lot of money and aren’t a necessity (im talking like tattoos, gaming systems. items of comfort). it’s hard being told no and then seeing that same person go and buy expensive things. i think the anger is justified in that sense, but i don’t think he needed to go online about it. it’s more of a vent to your close friends way. i think people who aren’t chronically ill forget that it’s a very taxing thing and it makes many of us run on a shorter rope than others. i think because he’s having his first major flare up in a few years is making his rope much shorter and that’s what happened. and i wish you well in the medical field !!

[@marsmallowtoast]

@localopa That's true, I didn't consider that aspect! It's a very difficult stressor but I feel like at a certain point we have to have a moment to recognise that (as annoying as it is) others don't necessarily have to help us out even if they do have the expendable cash but it's also understandable to be pissed about it. You're totally right that his flare-up is probably contributing. I honestly hope he gets things under control because it's really sad seeing him act this way online.

Former subscriber, he cranks out a lot of low quality content now as opposed to say, 2 years ago. He already doesnt seem professional from that, and then you couple that with the website not being fully formed with very little information on it and the fact that it helps *one* person a month, I get why he doesn't get donations. Threatening to "expose" his "friends" for not giving him money is gross. Someone who can't take criticism and can't handle people not giving to *him* probably shouldn't be running a charity.

There are very few charities that I donate to because I have done research on them and trust them. And I have been able to visit a few of them in person.

[@flerrrrrrrrrrrp2997]

thing is nobody knows what people are going through financially! Some youtuber might have made $100k that month but for starters half of that is going to taxes (which Jake obviously seems to have no idea how that remotely function since he kept talkiing about "offsetting" taxes...!) then $100k can go away very quickly! Someone or their family member might have medical debt they need to pay off, student loans, pay for their parents to retire a little earlier OR AT ALL, put a down payment on a house, pay for IVF treatment or adoption if they are having a hard time starting a family, help a loved one get off a predatory loan, OR JUST ENJOY THE MONEY BECAUSE IT'S NICE NOT TO STRUGGLE EVERY NOW AND THEN!!!! Like if I got a really good contract and worked in that sphere I would totally post TO MY CLOSE FRIENDS "ahhh so happy made bag with this deal!!!" but that wouldn't make me rich!!!! I'd pay off my 70 year old mom's mortgage so she could retire before I gave to his charity OR ANY CHARITY and the charity I would give to would not go towards enabling the system that allows the concept of medical bills to exist but rather legal groups and lobbies that fight for universal healthcare!

[@adalon378]

I don't know anything about him, but someone mentioned in a reply that Jake might have been frustrated with big KZbinrs donating to ultimately pointless causes like team seas... And imo that was actually worth a video, instead of direct threats which are wrong and completely out of context (even if the context still makes it wrong). It would be so much valuable (i think) to talk about how people have donated in the past to anything just because a big name is next to it, so people don't actually question what their money will be used for... I'm sure he could talk about publicly known cases, like mr. Beast who only does charity when he gets donations and sponsors, not really with his money earned from the videos (as he says he does), and doesn't research at all what he's doing, only how to make content out of it... It also says a lot about the real purposes of the cause when the people organizing it don't invest on it much, even though they are the ones with the most funds to do it. So the point should just be that people need to care more about the actual charity and how the person asking you to donate is truly invested in it, and less about how famous the names attached to it are.... A good example is Jackseptikeye's yearly charity event Thankmas. He donated by far the most single amount in the end... And his partner was already on top of the least from the start. Of course the person may not have the means to donate too, but we're are talking about people that very much have the means!

[@JKyall]

It's not worth a video. People can give their money where ever they want. If you have to shame people into giving, you have a crappy NP mission that no one believes in. He has a lot of work to do, in life and in business. He's acting like a 13-year-old with a lemonade stand, not an adult person who seems capable and trustworthy to manage other peoples' donations.

[@adalon378]

@JKyall of course, but if that was indeed the reason behind his video, at least that was better because a lot of people do intend to help when donating and don't realise that won't happen, just because they trust famous people blindly...

​@@CarissaEllynBut that seems like something worth mentioning instead of straight up threatening big KZbinrs...

St Jude's has donors who give millions and millions of dollars. I'd say $5 to a small charity actually goes further because you will actually see the difference it makes much quicker.

Can’t find any info on how to donate, volunteer apply for aid, etc. And ironically I’m actually a cancer patient who could’ve genuinely needed the resources he’s supposedly offering. Luckily my family is able to support me, but yikes. Maybe the unusable website is the reason nobody is donating, idk. It looks like someone’s abandoned concept website for a c-level web design class project more than an actual charity lol.

From what I recall…. I’m pretty sure he’s had this charity going for more than a year? That seems like enough time to get a website working. But even if it was brand new, if I had a charity, I’d think making the website accessible would come before attempting public extortion on my to-do list.

[@JoF999]

Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've seen, his charity gives money to someone who fills in an application on why they need the money? Isn't that just kind of a lottery with extra steps? I mean, I think it's kind of a good idea for people struggling but its not helpful in the long term. Not dissmissing it, because I dare say its helped alot of people but how do they vet it? I doubt I'd give to it either.

[@tarynchagnon8696]

Thats not how it works. He personally goes through the forms and chooses people based on immediate need like travel to hospital, or wheelchairs. Ive fillled out yhe form and he gets over 700 submissions from people everymonth but can only afford to pick one person every month

[@JoF999]

@tarynchagnon8696 ok thanks, the application part was the bit I was unclear on and how the receiver was picked. I'm not condoning his recent behaviour but fair play if he goes through everyone by hand. That may go along way to explain his frustrations if he's going through many peoples application for help and can only help some of them. I'd need to know more before donating though, and I'm guessing so do others.

As someone who works closely with non profits its the hardest thing to start one, get grants and more importantly get donations. You cant bully people into giving. No one has to donate money.

I can understand the frustration behind trying to do something good and not getting support, but lashing out at people publicly and then threatening to "expose" them is not okay. The reality is that nobody is entitled to other people's money, the whole point of a charity is relying on people's donations and people are less likely to donate if they're going to be pressured or demonized for not donating. He acted like they were evil for not donating, but who says they didn't donate to other charities, didn't have other financial issues going on or such? I also feel like the charity comes off as vague, in my opinion, which will also make people less likely to donate due to the high amount of scams going on these days. Truly think he needs to step away from social media, try to get some help and hopefully come back when he's mentally ready to do so. I don't think he's a bad person, but he does need to understand how he comes across to others.

Drew has donated to several BLM organizations during the height of the protests in 2020 as well as hurricane relief funds, Kurtis has donated to charities that support victims of abuse and sexual assault, Jarvis is part of the Creators for Palestine group, Chad Chad just posted yesterday with a sponsor from Bombas, who donates one pair of socks to homeless shelters for every pair of socks someone purchases (and bombas are nice, high quality socks, they’re not shitty), and Jarvis has done sponsorships with Bombas a few times too.
