REN - ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS - Defining Success | Showing Ren to Kev

[@redangel169]

Authenticity creates ripples, and there is no way to know how far those ripples will go.

[@arielbussart1305]

Not only is the digital version of his CD only $4.99 (the cheapest that was allowed) in a live he said "if you can't afford $5, PLEASE pirate it!" (also, he's 2nd in the charts for the new album, to The Rolling Stones' new album). He just wants people to listen/have access to his music. He's also said that he will keep allowing reactors to be monetized because it doesn't take anything away from him, it really only helps EVERYONE. His heart is in the right place, and it's a breath of fresh air from the "selfish" world we live in.

[@neiltinley4858]

It's $11.99 on iTunes here in Australia (about $7.70 US), but still worth it of course!

[@justme1111]

Which works out to about £5, I am assuming that they meant £ and not $

[@annebiebrich9155]

As of today, Sept 14th, Ren is in the #1 spot ! 😊

[@sharis9095]

I think when, like Ren, you have to face your mortality... and you decide to live regardless of the pain or suffering (in part for those around you) you begin to understand you can withstand anything. You make peace with yourself and accept your flaws, you stop worrying about the little things and you become... large, ferocious and magnificent. If Ren isn't the real deal I don't want to know. I need to believe there are people like this out there.

[@jasonremy1627]

When he hits the word "large", it gets me every time.

[@KatSnow11]

Thanks for sharing with Kev. This video is so important.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

Thank you for reacting to this! It's such a powerful message that I wish others would react to! Ren is such a treasure ❤

[@Beldvlmnt]

Thanks for finding it early!! It’s an unlisted link but I see a couple of y’all found it 😘

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

@Beldvlmnt I've liked the Ren reactions I've seen from you, so I pulled up your Ren Playlist to see what ones I've missed, and that's how I found it! Made my day!

[@Beldvlmnt]

@@MoreKellBellPlease awe, well you’ve made my day 🥰 be well to yourself!!

[@margaretkichenama6022]

This deserves A Million Thank You❤Just found this Treasure and you guys made my day.

[@DogDocKat]

Thanks for reacting to this! It was such a beautiful speech and showed Ren's amazing heart ❤. He is constantly promoting his friends (Sam, Vik, Joe for example) and giving them their chance to shine. And his support for reactors is fantastic! Great conversation!

[@francesdoll4039]

He also has used his fan base to help boost some unknown and under appreciated artists and reactors, like Dirt Miller, King Dotta, and The Wolf Johnson.

[@KittyInTheGarden]

What a lovely conversation. Thank you both.

[@redangel169]

I saw someone say Reactors are like the modern radio dj's.

[@cherylb309]

Thank you for a great video with your friend Kev! I have introduced my sister to Ren because she has had ME/CFS for twenty years and the symptoms are very similar to Lyme disease.

[@hollyryalsgrubb1273]

I getba lump ib my throat every time I listen to this. Thanks for bringing it to more people through your channel.

[@majbrat]

Honestly I was late finding Ren and if you go into his Patreon, you see the effect of his honesty and support. He has created a support community. It is very inspiring.

[@Beldvlmnt]

100% agree! Been a patreon member since he launched, one of my favourite places 😁 and better late than never!

[@Colleen_OH]

I love watching reactions to this video. This one was really good. Ren definitely knows his truth and speaks about it honestly and with confidence. I had never watched reaction videos before discovering Ren and that discovery took a very meandering route starting with the Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts last year. Those concerts introduced me to Justin Hawkins (of The Darkness) and I subscribed to his KZbin channel in the fall of 2022. (Up to that point, I had only watched KZbin for “how to” videos. 😁) On January 15, 2023 (a date etched in my mind), Justin introduced me to Ren and I’ve been captivated ever since. Jesse, you still have a enormous amount of Ren songs to do. I know that someone has created a Ren YT playlist that was up to 399 videos the last time I looked (Ren, The Big Push, Trick The Fox, busking, etc.) You mentioned your own journey with depression - Ren wrote a song called Depression. It might interest you.

[@charleenk71]

18 tracks

[@Shiroar]

Ren is truly an inspiration and a light in the darkness. And we have only seen the beginning of the changes he is making in people’s lives and the industry ❤ Hopefully he stays strong, cause the world needs this wonderful man.

[@roxannescozzafava8168]

Thank you two, this was definitely a very emotional day for REN. Knowing his fans are so appreciative of all the struggles that he goes through and has already gone through. He loves what he does and his fans for our support of both himsel and his causes. 🐇🕳️🖤Big Love! 🌊Keep that tide rising #depression #mentahealth #chronicillneses #lymes #medicaltreatmentaccess4all #stopdomesticviolence

[@fourcornersofbrighton]

I love that you decided to react to this! Though he may feel conflicted about his personal balance between the light and dark, to his listeners, his beautiful soul shines through. I had never watched a reaction video before Ren, but I am obsessed by his music (in a good way) and I love that I can help support others in this way as well. I love that Ren acknowledges all the parts of himself and has an honest desire to make things better.

[@botlus4727]

I loved what Ren said. Also I really loved the conversation you had about it. Thank you! Greetings from Berlin Germany 👍

[@Steven90108Runs]

Remember to pre order Ren's album if you can afford to do so😊. Only 5Pounds for the digital version! He hit the nr 1 spot on the pre order UK chart so far, let's help him keep that spot.

[@Sublo23]

Beautiful conversation guys, thank you.

[@LoutTsu]

Thanks for this discussion! Enjoying your friendship vicariously and looking forward to next one.

[@Perspectiveon]

Rens messaging is absolutely amazing and so are your take on it. I count you among my freinds now. Thx.

[@Beldvlmnt]

Always got your back, friend 💛

[@francesdoll4039]

Ren himself has been witness to the incredible empathy embodied by his fellow sufferers. He blogs about it in his Lyme101 Facebook blog from 2013 through his stem cell treatments. He promised to not lose that empathy when he came out on the other side. He honors all those who shared his journey.

[@Snarky_Tart]

Thanks for doing this reaction. I agree with what you wrote in the description: "Ren needs to be protected at all costs..."

[@jasonremy1627]

It's 18 songs, and $4.99

[@mauraleib]

I loved watching your reaction to REN’s speech. What a humble and responsible response he had to the evidence of his widespread success. ❤

[@belindamelville2270]

Ren❤❤❤

[@pirada74]

❤❤❤❤

[@drealyn1486]

the two of you were both so articulate having a conversation about this beautiful video. The album he's dropping is actually 18 tracks, the songs he's been releasing are all on it.

[@tundiel]

❤ ❤ ❤

[@xdaniedx]

It's absolutely amazing that right now the pre-sale for Ren's album is outselling the Rolling Stones who are releasing their first album in 40 years! Ren's #1, Stones #2 and Ed Sheeran is #3!

[@krash66]

Hey Jesse! Great, uplifting conversation with your buddy Kev! I hope you will invite him to also do some reaction to The Warning with you! LOL. You guys are awesome!

[@badgarlicbreath8183]

TY both!

[@ArthurRex-x4m]

Guys your discussion was profoundly emphatic. Loved it so much. Thanks

[@Beldvlmnt]

Yo this means the world 💛 thank you so much

[@agatopol]

Thank you!

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

I have watched this so many times and it brings me to tears every time 😢 Ren incredible. He is just beautifully humble and kind 🖤

[@sharonf1468]

What a wonderfully eloquent reaction from you both, looking forward to, hopefully, many more! ❤

REN is so genuine. Thank you for this reaction ✌🏼from a #Renegade.

[@jameslowther9792]

Love this reaction. Thank you

[@PlymouthLad76]

Beautiful & honest reaction guys. Thank you! ❤

[@stevecody9878]

Loved your reaction to this. I hope more Reactors include viewing this too. Ren is a treasure. Cheers 👍🍻

[@Jinxy44]

This was a wonderful reaction. So insightful, empathetic and deep. Thanks guys. Gonna go down your Ren rollercoaster so subbed for more of your genuine, sincere reactions. Thanks ❤

[@tomsmith1977]

I love REN. You should watch Metallica play in front of 1.6 million people in Moscow to see what those numbers look like

[@MegsD79]

Ren is an inspiration. I love Ren for showing that being open and honest with others about your own mental health/pain/trauma/etc doesn't have to be scary and there are people that will support and love you for being genuine. I also believe that Ren has been consistent in his character and standards and it shows that this is not someone trying to find a way to get attention. He is humble, empathetic, and caring. ❤❤❤ Love the reaction and the conversation that Ren's video has inspired.

[@minneyruth]

Beautiful ❤❤ i love y'alls conversation. I need more of both of you lol ❤

[@JoH4LH44]

Love this video from Ren: Particularly the use of the word “rich” not in terms of money. Thanks for sharing this. ❤ Edited to say subbed for both of you and your fab discussion even tho I’m v late to this reaction.

[@Beldvlmnt]

Don’t worry about ‘late’!!! Everything happens when it’s supposed to 😁

[@sistermoon1970]

Having watched hundreds of Ren music reactions, I was disappointed there was not more reactions to this, so thank you so much for doing this, and doing it so well. You showed great understanding, empathy and respect and expressed yourselves so eloquently, I could have listened for hours. The reason I love Rens music is because every song makes me think. Thank you 🫶 New uk sub here

I loved your commentary so much. Your friend is so insightful. ❤

[@Charyl.w.an.A]

Beautiful ❤

[@JoeYo77]

He would comment nice things on their reviews and they had their own original content. He would actually take the time to wash it and comment on it and say something he liked about one of their songs or something, etc. so I don’t think it was like begging them. I think it was being classy and respectful, and he’s an awesome artist so he’s obviously busy and has an illness and making shit loads of music and taking his time to watch someone’s video that has like 2000 followers and comment and subscribe so that right there says a lot about him. Also, I know some of the bigger reactors he gave them early access and he waved whatever it is that you waived that they can get paid off of your stuff. I don’t know what exactly having KZbin monetarily commission works, but he did something to that effect for his big supporters. He has even commented on one of my comments on a reaction and I’m a nobody but to him my comment meant something’. So my point is that only does he have extreme talent and impeccable work ethic he has a huge heart and he works tirelessly and he’s so authentic that he wants to help everyone around him that is infectious. You gotta watch him react to Harry Mack’s freestyle rap about him while he’s in a pool I. Vegas celebrating his album hitting number one

[@alelirivarola1197]

You look just like Billie Eilish's brother

[@cjmaker2914]

please please do when sunday comes daryl coley and LaShun Pace - I Know I've Been Changed 🥺

[@lindapease620]

Where did he claim he would harass reactors? I've seen all the interviews and read most everything he's said. I think you're incorrect. I know King D0tta did and it was discussed a lot on his channel. Please show me where he said that and I'll eat my words.

[@DenTweed]

Yeah that one confused me too ... seem also quite out of character

[@Codex7777]

Ren wasn't in a great place, mentally and physically, when he recorded this. Btw, he loves the reaction communitybut where on Earth did you get the idea that he 'harassed' reactors to react to his stuff??? He was hardly aware of the reaction community until they started reacting to Hi Ren.

[@Beldvlmnt]

Oh shit someone told me he would ask reactors to check him out - not asking for good reviews but just for reactions. But I’ll correct myself!

[@cjmaker2914]
