Ben's podcast is completely underrated. Like c'mon guys! We can do better than this! Also, he speaks about full-out facts. Who agrees with me?

IKR. it’s literally just as chaotic as his main channel, and also i love listening to ben

[@lithuanianizzy]

I just wanna say this video really did inspire me to make sure to stay on my shit w KZbin❤ I’ve been posting on my channel on/off for like 8 years but I just recently decided that I wanna take it serious now and upload consistently. Thank you sm I needed some motivation to keep me going bc I haven’t been getting the progress I’ve been wanting. Also happy 10 years!!

[@DavidRange-zx8ge]

imagine ben is like mrbeast in 2 years. With that funding it would be chaos

[@huldakristin5343]

Now you can call yourself ben 10

[@paxet.]

LMAO

[@magentaura]

Congratulations Ben you’ve hit a decade 🎉

[@insertnamehere385]

It’s crazy how even though you film a silly little video on your phone, you still seem to make our days better. Thank you for making these vids, they really do help me whenever I’m in a little depression pit. Also, congrats on 10 years! ❤

[@cwill382]

you’re literally my favorite youtuber ever. i’m so happy that you’ve made it this far, and thank you for making us laugh all these years

[@Almanolsoe]

Happy 10 years on KZbin Ben. You deserve everything good that has ever happened to you and so much more. I'm so glad you finally reflected on your KZbin career. congrats on being on youtube for a whole decade, not many can say that. Thank you for you❤️

[@boykisserocean]

so glad that ur finally reflecting with everything and taking a step back because you really deserve everything good that has ever happened to you ben 💗

[@111jade]

MY DRAMA : this literally all happened 30 minutes ago I'm gonna give a very short version of the events tho this guy I have spoken to literally once DMd me and called me "beautiful" and "love" and asked to see a picture of me. all weird regardless of the time of day but especially weird considering it is 1am ?? and obv that isn't a friendly attempt at starting a convo lol. I check his profile and he literally has a whole girlfriend 💀 I messaged her to very very kindly let her know what her bf said to me. She replied with "well he says he doesn't like you at all and he only loves me sooo.." which honestly like I feel very bad for this girl but cmon 😭 lmaoo ok that's all!!!

[@mayarose559]

each of your videos are literal cinematic masterpieces, youre keeping everyone alive, not hurting anyone, youre doing your job and more

[@huhyouexist7725]

We need more youtubers/people like Ben

[@1nepeta]

Drama: me and my friends had one of those goofy little school accounts on instagram and a girl wanted to fight me over a post because she found out I had access to it but I didn’t post that one 😭

[@lia.lia.lia.]

congratulations on 10 years of sticking to something, growing through it, and developing your craft into something you deserve to be very proud of today! always appreciate your honesty, self awareness and self reflection in these podcast episodes. as a bit of an older viewer (late 20s) who has watched a lot of youtube throughout the years, it's super interesting seeing the site evolve and the new creators that emerge, very glad i stumbled across/the algorithm fed me your content one day and i haven't left since! keep up the great work, ben!

[@love.cam1la]

my favorite youtuber ong

[@Rae1336]

We love you too Ben.❤❤❤

[@l_ucia]

it's actually crazy for the people who've been on the internet for most of their lives, like theyve been there for everything

[@TempestTracker]

This is one of the reasons I love Wednesday

[@issiissiissi]

Drama: So I have this one friend and we have been friends since birth but she's being really rude lately and I don't want to lose her

[@DolliPillz]

I am so happy for you Ben! You deserve all of your success. Your videos have been a big source of joy and comfort for me. 💗💗

[@T0RT1LL4QU33N]

HAPPY TEN YEARS BEN!! My drama: in my science class we never had a permanent teacher (they were always subs and would change constantly) one day we got a substitute who said he would be our teacher for the rest of the year. His name was Mr V and the moment we met him, we got off vibes. For example, we would be totally silent and he would just start yelling at us. It just got worse and worse until he said the N word repeatedly and people caught it on video. A few days later he was yelling at us when one of the students, Olivia, reminds him that we have a video of him saying the N word. He Denies it and says to show him after class. At the end of class, everyone pulls out their phones and shows the video and his only response is “you shouldn’t be recording in class” LIKE WHAT-?! People begin to post the video of him saying the word on TikTok and it goes viral. At this point, everyone has seen it including the teachers and principal. He gets fired and then shows up on the news but acts like he did nothing wrong. BTW, he’s white and like 80 years old. Should I post the link to the TikTok?

[@eunsaidseo.]

YES EXPOSE HIS ASS

[@leah.editinq]

[@froggyurmom1704]

Hello, Ben! I love watching your videos and all those weird 24 hour videos. I also love your podcast channel! But this comment isn't about that. You and my sister are VERY alike. 1. You guys are both 23! 2. Both dropped out of college to do videos. 3. Both do great content! You guys would get along well, but you live in LA (i think) and she lives in Texas. I just wanted to leave this comment because you guys are very alike!

[@KebBorry-bt3qd]

Hello Ben I love you and I watch all of your videos also been a fan for 5 years,love you Ben

[@xiikers]

[@lellow7087]

my drama: it is my last day of school on friday before exams, and I invited all my friends to hangout after school for one last time. They all said yes, but skip to two days later and three of them suddenly made plans with another group…. When one of the friends told me this I was quite rude to her about it (rightfully so, you don’t just ditch plans with your friend group of 3 years on THE LAST DAY), and now they’re all mad at me for being upset with them…

[@Youtubeuser10873]

I think regular water is better

[@SomePeopleMakeMeSick]

Why are there so many power puff girl pfps here 💀

[@Olivia_3774]

Ben you have inspired me now to do so much with my life to just do anything that I put my mind to that I can do. I am thinking about doing modeling for a while now and I don’t know how I would get in because obviously my teeth aren’t perfect and I’m not gonna let that bug me now and I hope I can get in and you have really inspired me through anything that I do to just be more positive and everything and I just love you so much and thank you so much for all your content and your content is so so much fun to watch. Keep up the great work!❤
