When I was a kid, I liked Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and DanTDM because they were funny and full of energy. This year, I turn 18, and I feel like I've grown alongside people I've never even met, who have inspired me so much. I can't thank you enough, Seán.

I dont comment a lot, or much at all, ever. I've been watching you and your growth for years and cannot express how much I personally *and probably many others* watch your channel for YOU not just for the content (which is also great no matter what) but just to see you. I've sort of leaned on your videos new and old to get through rough times or just to put on to listen through again (recently the below zero playthrough). You're missed when you take needed breaks and its always so exciting to see that upload notification when you come back. I know I'm speaking into the comment section abyss but its gotten me through family deaths and a divorce so I cant overstate it. You mean so much to so many people and when you decide to leave KZbin a lot of us will still be here, watching and rewatching because we WANT to not just because your channel is available but we genuinely enjoy you as a person. You take care of yourself and we will always be here to support you. When the time comes that you leave KZbin I hope you have the time and ability to do whatever you dream of, that you're able to get done anything you put your mind to (and healthily) because you deserve it and any great things that come your way❤

[@katieh8843]

thank you for saying this. i am also someone who NEVER comments and im terrible with words so thank you for saying exactly how i also feel. i really hope Sean reads it and finds some comfort in it. my favorite content of all time on the internet is the Raft streams with the lads. i watch it like twice a year and quote it all the time. it is like my comfy place when i need one desparetely. thanks again for finding the right words so i can just pile on haha.

Dude I'll be 22 in a couple of weeks and I've been watching you, mark and others that have retired quite a while back, for I don't know how many years. Probably started when I was around 14 and didn't really understand english all that much. As a kind of "grown up" who has a job and lives on his own now, I really haven't been watching you or any others actively for a while, but instead went back to rewatch some older stuff. I don't wanna say I grew out of it, but I kind of did in a good way. And yeah, being able to understand and kinda relate to some of the things you said, it makes sense that you'll retire some day. No hard feelings. Keep it up for as long as you want to do it and don't force it is what I've learned. Even if you'll probably never see this message, I wanna sincerely thank you for the cool time you gave me during my childhood and always putting a smile on my face back then. Cheers. :^)

I remember when I first subscribed to you, you had 4,000 followers. It’s been so amazing growing up with you. You helped me in some of my darkest times. You’re such an important piece of my life, I’m turning 22 this week. I’ve watched nearly every single video you’ve ever put out. Your content is great to watch no matter what the vibe is. I’m so proud of you man, you’re so inspiring. I have my fair share of mental health issues, and it makes me so happy you’ve always been so open about your own personal struggles. I love that you have breaks for yourself and I always support them. I’ll check if you’ve come back, I know for me I miss you. I always hope that you’re doing well. You’ve made such a huge impact on my life in beautiful ways. The amazing thing about you, is that no one else is like you. My whole life I’ve felt so out of place and different, but you made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Being different is your super power, no one can do this shit like you can. You helped me learn to love who I was, because if I could relate to you and the things you enjoy, then I was a pretty fucking cool person. When the day comes and you’re ready to close this chapter and begin your next, I forever support you. Thank you for everything. - Sincerely, a fan crying while typing this

Mental health issues are an absolute cunt to deal with (don't mind me I'm Australian), I know I get really excited when you come back from breaks and whatever else. The true supporters love you Seán, it's easier said than done but never forget you have support from supporters and even from your partner Evelyn. Lots of love from me over in Australia.

This, absolutely. I never bug content creators who haven’t posted in a while because I don’t know what’s going on in their life and I’m sure they don’t need that pressure. When Sean takes a break, I assume he’s either cooking something up or taking care of himself, as he should.

Which is very true, even if Jack did not post for almost a week or month, I'm not bothered like he also have some life behind that screen. So sometimes, I reminisce by watching his old content. That is why Jack, should do what makes him happy, especially now a days, with all so much struggle, content creators is not exempted, we really need a break. Also with Marki, and Pewds, maybe Pewds is best example where he only post things he like. and that is kinda refreshing. I hope Jack will find soon his answer.

[@anastasiaraelajynn]

Sean, it's honestly really encouraging to hear you talk honestly about your mental and physical health and about the stuff you're excited about creating in the future! As someone who is also an overthinker and all-or-nothing, it really resonated with me. And no matter what you choose going forward, you are an inspiration to me as I try to be creative in my spare time while also taking care of my mental health. Praying for you and all aspects of your health. Hugs.

Thanks Sean, I appreciate these kind of honest videos from seasoned creators. A lot of younger/new KZbin creators don't understand how hard it is and how long it sometimes takes to be successful, like they expect quick income-sustaining-career-level success but don't understand the difficulties of oversaturation, algorithm, stress/mental health, etc. And they end up absolutely hating what they once loved.

[@allyjane1328]

Much respect to you Sean. There is absolutely nothing wrong with needing to take a step back, take alook at your life and re-evaluate what you want out of it. Which can be that much harder when dealing with mental health at the same time. It's hard to see what you want and what feels good to you when all you feel is bad most if not all of the time. It takes time to look at the "why" you feel bad? Is it something you can fix? And slowing down to build your self back up takes time. Whatever you decide to do i wish you the best with your future endeavours and that you take good care of yourself going forward 👍

Really well said man. I related to him so much when he mentioned the feelings of self-doubt, and how he both wants to do sth but doesn't have the motivation and energy to do it (for some this may sound contradictory but I gotta say, this is definitely a feeling that plagues many of of these days) I was honestly taken aback by how vulnerable and open he was in this video, and it's not like he wasn't in other videos he posted about his personal life, but this felt a little different. Like he wasn't specific when detailing his struggles but he mentioned so many of them that I honestly had to think about what it's really like for a youtuber to constantly and forcefully have to be conscious of viewers and their views towards oneself, and how that could easily branch out into various kinds of negative thoughts that we would never even imagine that that person would go through. I could tell he was holding back some emotion when explaining some of his mental struggles too Sean, if you're reading this, I've thoroughly enjoyed ur content ever since I was in middle school and I still do. I've always been happy to see your personality shine, and your distinctive interest and attention to detail as you play/review games.

Max Caulfield (and some of the content I saw about her VA tbh) helped me to unmask my awkward Autistic traits and they eventually saved me because I had suppressed so many mentalities that were useful and altruistic and intelligent and helped people. I learned the same stuff from you for ages beforehand, because you had a little wisdom integrated into your content and reminded me of my own suppressed autistic traits with your way of thinking and expressing yourself. I figured out how sad it was that I hated myself for things that were absolutely lovely when you and Max Caulfield did them. I started to have nothing but pride for traits I used to hate myself for. I couldn’t hate myself for them anymore because that would have made me hate people I grew to love so much. I don’t know where I would have been if you weren’t here. I don’t think I would still have been here, not because of my own actions, but because I literally was not in control of the danger of my situation and I was so deep in my depression/disability that nothing would have been able to motivate me to get out. I would have had no motivator to save my own life if I didn’t come across your content of Life is Strange, because I just started wanting to play the game so much. It’s how I got my apartment. I just wanted to play what JackSepticEye played! I hope you have felt the same way on KZbin, I hope this time has served you a sh8t ton of love and I hope you have had moments where a positive domino impact was made on your life because of people who are just dilly dallying around. If it’s okay, I personally hope you don’t delete your videos once you retire. I can be complacent with it if you decided not to post any more because you’re such an important person and your health means more than your content. But your content was the way my life was saved. And so many other people…. And to be honest, if you wanted to take your videos down, I fully support that, too. It’s your decision, I’m just voicing my own hopes. You deserve the freedom to choose what you think is best. You deserve to focus on your in-person family and friends, Jack. One day, I hope you turn to a life surrounded by people who know you as a whole person, since I assume that you know something of the “loneliness of fame”. Take care of yourself ♥️

Sean, I’ve been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety. The fact you sit here and make these videos despite those struggles is strong. I’ve grown up with you.

I feel so bad being late to watch this video, family and school overwhelmed me a bit. You are an amazing KZbinr. Im so sorry that you have been burning out, its never fun. I understand all too well getting in ones own head as well as depression and anxiety. Something i learned in therapy is Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and it works well with me and my issues. I recommend it to a lot of people and its made my life so much different. I do have my moments that I'm not ok and wish to self harm or go even further if I'm a bit too far into that mental state sadly, but some of your videos made me laugh and come out of it. I'm just one person in the whole sea of people but you have made me smile, laugh, and introduced me to diffrent games that i dont think i would ever play (mostly because my brain doesnt understand it.) I love that you play games that brought you nostalgia, cute little games, one of mine is Little Misfortune, Little Hope, and Fran Bow, games you want to share your excitment with us. I love seeing the new games, dlc's, your excitment and some moments of the game suprising you in some way, how you..... I want to say put yourself as if you were actually the charater and the comedy from that. I try so hard not to laugh at night because of something in one of my favorite play through. I love how you go into the lore a bit on your favorite things, supporting smaller game developers. All in all you have done amazing things in your years, and it still suprises me how close we are in age and the accomplishments that you have done. I know it might be hard to accept this thanks to your "bully brain" (when your brain is being mean to you) but i really do mean it from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Dont burn yourself out, do what you want to do. You are successful no matter what you do. Be safe, take your time with your health mentally and physically, cant wait for the next video when you do it. Dont forget to love on your Kitty :3 Also have to say, You're one of two KZbinrs that my Bearded Dragon will actually watch lol.

"I am horrifically depressed. I mean, I'm exagerating-" is such an ADHD feeling. Like, I feel depressed but I'm also hyper, so I undermine my own sadness. Also, so many people now are putting ADHD on blast and saying it's fake, you're just lazy, everyone strugles, etc. so we end up acostumed to questioning all of our problems... It sucks.

I want to level with you: Your perception of our feelings is skewed by internal paranoia. Sean, I want you to know that we miss you consistently when you're gone. I don't want to speak for everyone, but I see so much love in the community you've built and so much support that makes me confident in saying that you are missed dearly when you go. Not only that, but the content you want to upload is beloved by all of us. Yes, I might not finish your Bloodbourne video, but so what? So many people did, and I enjoyed what I saw. But that doesn't matter because YOU were passionate about that, and that MATTERS. Knowing you are happy with your content is all we could ask for. I am SO GLAD you have other outlets that fulfill you in life. I just hope when you upload here, you do it because you want to, not because you feel like you HAVE to. We understand, love, and support you always.

But it's getting to the point where I'm ready to give up. Just on this platform. Cuz I'm getting sick and tired of people gaslighting me saying it's not the algorithm. Meanwhile I upload some bitch you where I do much better where there's no algorithm whatsoever. Just be clear, technically speaking that's not a good thing. Technically speaking the lack of an algorithm should be doing a disservice to my content. Because without an algorithm there's no curation. With no curation it means the only way I can notice by new people is if I have to upload at the right time. And when I say the right time I literally mean the right time of day, let's say 5:00 p.m. in the evening when people are up but at home and relaxing. Videos on that platform's homepage are in order of what's been uploaded that minute to what's been uploaded throughout the day. And somehow I'm doing 10 times better on a platform with no algorithm then I do on KZbin for the 3 years I've been on both platforms. My contact is on this account by the way if you want to check the numbers. Play let it be known that I might just have to subscribers, but viewers and all in all general engagement. So do not be confused by my 120 plus subscribers. Cuz not a goddamn one of those people watch me and I don't even know why the hell they even subscribed., they're probably not even getting any notifications so they think I have it uploaded in months or years. 😑 The more I'm on this platform the more and more subscribers become absolutely pointless. The number of people subscribers completely meaningless. Whatever your engagement rates are at, clearly if you're happy enough to be content with them then that's great man. Good for you.

Yeah this is what i'm saying, they're making it seem like a deliberate 9 to 5 "job" to be a KZbinr. _They didn't have to have a schedule, They didn't have to have a high production quality, They didn't have to have a "TOS-Riding Personality," And they didn't have to go anywhere to meet the potentially psychopathic parasocial fans._ And yet we're supposed to believe that we're doing this to him? *_I am supposed to believe that I am doing this to him??_* Please.

Personally, I think most of the response to the notion of Sean quitting comes from a good place but is the wrong way to react. Unnus Annus showed us and told us that this WILL end, it was the whole point of the channel, and MatPat solidified it for me cause I think some of us didn’t really take that message to heart. I started watching when I was end of middle school start of high school and now I’m getting a masters in grad school, it’s been roughly a decade for me with JackSepticEye so of course it’s going to end and end relatively soon most likely. Whether it be a year from now or two. Instead of panicking and praying Sean stays, we should listen and be sympathetic because I doubt anyone here dismisses the fact that KZbin as a career demands a lot and takes quite a toll. Nothing lasts forever, especially in media creation or on the internet in general. At the end of the day, all we can do is support Sean in whatever endeavour he embarks on whether it be continuing JackSepticEye or moving on to new horizons. Don’t be sad it’s over, smile because it happened.

Your slower content is the best content you've ever made. I don't want you overworked. I want comfy, rich, fun-loving Sean. You don't need to worry about algorithmic compliance. Just do you. If there was ever a time where you could afford to be yourself, it's right now.

[@keyleybanks6036]

I 100% agree the long play throughs are perfect 👌

[@azarnke922]

I just want to hug him and tell him it's going to be fine!

[@royale7620]

2014-2017 vids were much better

[@witchskee]

I'm so glad you addressed early in the video that you weren't retiring YET. It will be a sad, sad day whenever it happens, but I will continue to look forward to your videos in the meantime. Thanks for everything you do! You are loved ❤

[@LittleCountrySinger]

Don’t go jack you helped me through so many things I started watching you when I was young and now I just turned 20 you mark and all the others help me laugh when my grandpa was in the hospital I will always be thankful I love you guys and I love you

[@HunterFabian]

Ive watched jack since rhe first video came out seeing him do qhat he loved and had fun with it inspired me to do the same even tho im 23 i still see sean as a inspiration even if he retires i will pass his videos down to my kids becuz he showed everyone thats anything is possible and sean if you see tgis comment i hope and get to feel better and im always cheering you on❤

[@mr.caretaker6086]

Ah dude. A random stranger like me leaving a KZbin comment isn't gonna do anything for you but I've been watching you for so long, almost from the start. I've seen the different styles you do and I like them all. I'll always watch no matter what and when you quit youtube I'll still watch all your vids. Night in the woods is like my special I watch many times a year. I enjoy listening to the podcast too. You do you man, you do you.

[@cocomint3175]

Jacks play through of NITW was great.. It's comforting to come back too

[@pablobuquet2534]

I truly think this is part of the reason as wholesome as it is. He loves his community, but as an adhd person its incredibly hard to have the compassion to talk with everyone

[@mlgmrm]

Unus Annus has already taught me not to get too attached to anything because a lot of things don't last. in the end Sean should and likely will move on to the next step in his life, and true fans will be very happy for him

[@book-hoarder5664]

That was the true purpose of Unus Annus. Preparing up for the inevitable-seeing people and creators many of us have known for years leave. These wonderful creators know almost none of us, and yet they feel like trusted friends to their viewers. It sucks because you realize the connection you have with these people is kept up completely by them, and there’s nothing you can do to get them to stay in your life once they decide to leave.

[@spaceinvadersaw]

Momento mori, friend…

[@IcycleBicycle]

Well personally Unus Anus didn't teach me anything but ok 😂😂😂

[@Luiszerep]

Cringe

[@book-hoarder5664]

@@IcycleBicycle then I think you missed the point. Obviously the majority of the content was silly nonsense, but from the very start the idea of the channel was founded on its impermanence. It’s going to leave in exactly one year. Just like how our favorite creators will eventually grow tired and leave too. There might not be a clock to mark the end of their channels, but a timer is ticking nonetheless. For a lot of them, it’s gone off now.

[@Aingealofficial]

This Irish boy like me and other subscribers in 2018! You are strong, I hope you stay!

[@kaw8473]

I wheezed laugh at your inspirobot video, despite being depressed you've brought so much joy to so many people and I truly appreciate that. Thank you for being vulnerable.

[@dreamsingxld]

jack, when you said in the beginning about questioning whether or not we miss you during breaks it broke my heart. as someone who has grown up watching you, you have taught me so much about myself. you've brought me so much light. you're such a genuine good person. if you want to retire, you've brought so much good to the world, and you should be so proud of what you've done for charity and what you've done for the community. the past ten years of watching you have been so much fun. i started watching you when i was ten, and im turning twenty this year. thank you for being there when i needed you 🫶🏻

[@nightmarehunter8681]

The last part Sean said of " my minds a mess and I don't really know how to deal with it most of the time" definitely resonates with me. Honestly I've been watching this channel for years now. Always enjoyed how down to earth and open Sean has been, especially about mental health. Life can get draining.

[@kishinasura1989]

Either way we'll be here for him. It feel weird in a way like we've been friends for the longest time. So I can't blame em if they want to move on but I'll still be here for em.😅

[@HarshKapadia]

I relate with that a LOT as well. I feel like I'm constantly a mess. It's pretty self-inflicted because of my actions though. I need to work on myself more.

[@MrNightK]

I think this is normal. What happens is you now have more competitors and new content creators coming in and people start to try out other channels etc. It can also be a case of you simply being burned out or your passion is not as up there anymore. Then there's also age, not only you but those who have been watching you has also been growing older and changing so they cant no longer be the same teenager watching jacksepticeye after school because now they might have a family or other priorities. Ultimately I think that passion is what really drives people even if there are barriers and bad days.

[@samz1462]

I lost both of my parents in my twenties, I wasn’t as close as I wish I was to either of them due to immaturity, phase of life, etc. I relate deeply to that take on how much a loss like that gets to you, thank you for being open about it! Making my feelings feel less unique.

[@Fullmetalseth]

I'm 38 years old, and you have really helped me explore my mental health. It's folks like you that really have helped normalize men taking control of our mental health on this platform. Thank you for the journey. The world needs more people like you.

[@catsonbrooms]

Yes!! So good on him for sharing about this. I'm so glad he's helping men feel more comfortable with mental health. That is so important. ❤️

[@TTGOz]

Hearing you talk about your depression, ADHD, and anxiety really helped this dude who really struggles and has never once seen a therapist or a doctor for my undiagnosed mental illnesses. Everything you described fits me to a T, and it really makes me realize again that I need to go get help. I've spent many years and hours watching you. me and the wife totally missed you when you took a break. We totally understand and want you to feel comfortable taking breaks.

[@kathycournoyer5868]

I'm 50 years old and I watched my kids watch you, I love your Goat Simulator videos and many other things you have done. My grandson and I now watch your videos together, especially the LAUGH ones. I wish you all the best in life and I hope your fans understand that there comes a time when you have to put yourself and your family 1st. So, I thank you for the fun times you gave me with my kids and grandson. ❤

[@adelinaamaya3068]

Over the years, its relatable and hits close to home ❤ crazy how much everyone has grown and going threw life just like everybody else. Keep your head up you got this 🥰

[@Itznotme347]

This actually broke me. If you want to take a break for your mental health, we will be here when you come back. We love you Seán.

[@jazzman7842]

There’s going to be a day when he won’t come back. And that’s okay.

[@Rynosaurie]

Jack became more and more relatable the more he talked in this video. Made me cry a little just listening to someone with similar issues.

[@xeamphicriku]

[@riverdrayke1692]

Same

[@maebell1639]

I'm grateful for all the joy you have shared. I can't imagine doing all that work. Even in a setup like Game Grumps where they have staff to help the cogs move and filter what comments reach them it's still so much. Live life and be happy. Thank you for sharing so much with us. Thank you for surviving the hard times. Thank you for taking care of yourself. You've inspired a lot of people to do the same.

[@smossi]

You are SO important to us (well, me at the very least) Jack, take care of yourself and do whatever makes you happy. I have enjoyed your content for a pretty long time already even though I never comment on anything ever (cause I'm badly depressed and anxious too and I think my words are not worth anything), but I LOVE listening you talk about stuff. You're so kind and wise. It might be a depression and anxiety thing but I've noticed some similarities to myself that you seem to want to keep people around you happy, probably cause you know how it is when you're feeling low. I can only imagine what it's been like having people around the world watch your stuff and comment all kinds of things on everything, but I can imagine not many of us would've survived that. I know I wouldn't have. You're so strong and kind and seem like such a good person, I wish you all the best. We LOVE you! ps. just please don't do what Jenna Marbles did and just disappear, I don't think my heart can take another hit like that lol

[@AzmodianGamingYT]

All my fave KZbinrs be retiring, first Felix, then Matpat, now you. Bro what entertainment am I left with?

[@magickmama2491]

We absolutely miss you when you take breaks. 🥺 You've become such an important person to so many of us over the years, we just want you to take care of yourself too. I have ADHD, depression and anxiety as well, and I know how it can twist your self perception but you are loved, Seán. You're seen and appreciated, and your community will support you no matter what. 💚

[@MONNLIGHTANGEL]

Screw the algorithm and just do what you love. Those who love you and appreciate you and these videos will stay. Even if you don't make videos as often doing what you enjoy and taking care of yourself is the biggest thing. Just remember we love you jack and everything you do.

[@DryptosaurusDavid]

[@SewingMink160]

Screw the algorithm!

[@ThirdEchoMedia]

While I agree with the sentiment, the problem is that he does KZbin full time for a job. He relies on the monetization which means his videos have to perform well. Being a full time KZbinr does require meeting a middle ground of making algorithm friendly content that you also enjoy making. If you purely make what you want to make, but people won’t watch it, you risk your livelihood. It’s an unfortunate reality of making a living off KZbin

[@thelandonian5767]

​@@ThirdEchoMediaYou don't think he's well off as it is? At this point, monetization and revenue are not an issue.

[@robyfaraa4105]

@@ThirdEchoMedia he has been doing incredibly well of for many years now, he should have money to last his life time easily without worry. The main issue is his pride or ego being damaged by seeing his channel lose more and more viewers. He should learn from pewdiepie and markiplier because both has been losing views for a long time as well but it doesnt bother them at all

[@Urhejejdh]

You and mark. Though I’ve never met you. You are my biggest hero’s. You have inspired me so much and molded the person I am today. I’ve been watching for 9 years now. And absolutely love you two no matter what. When you do retire, hoping no time soon. I’ll miss you. You guys are literally heros to me. Thank you.
