I've watched you for almost your entire time online. I've usually found you intriguing. But, this video gave me the more central notion: Joey, you're a truth teller. You have succeeded in staying honest to both yourself and seeing what is real rather than some fake version of the real. Thank you for staying truthful to yourself…that's a real accomplishment.

I put on my blue “stay you” sweater from years ago today, and this popped onto my feed. The universe works in mysterious ways. You and I met in 2017 i think when I was working with an app called Koowalla, and you had the deepest heart out of all the half faced creators I worked with that day and i’m glad to see you haven’t changed. Please stay you, Joey.

This was an awesome video, Joey! I've been following you since your early days on KZbin and I appreciate hearing your experience in this career. Social media Creators like yourself were a large part of why I chose to work in social media marketing after graduating college. Thanks for always inspiring me and creating great content :)

You are a better person. You have seen the road you shouldn't travel. Big revelation. Be strong. Be well. Choose the right. What's best for you, your family, and your well-being should be the focus. Thank you for sharing and... pet the doggos for me.

Epic video that says a lot about the KZbin community and where one's insecurity and search for validation may lead them. I am glad you didn't let it change you.

I saw you for the first time today. Your character intrigued me. And you gave me the courage to just a channel, instead of waiting for the perfect time. I'm 30 and this is where I will build my life all over again. Thanks

Man, you actually inspired me to start my channel, even if I'm years too late. I would want to become a creator where I make the content I enjoy and that I could be more authentic and true to self, not trying to be someone else to pleasure others. I will still be here even if you're 50 😎

I'm 18 and being a KZbinr is something I've always wanted to be But the niche never remained constant, eventually it felt as if I'm having these "need to create" just for the sake of validation and for people to see me And you just made me realize the reason why I honestly what to do it - to create and community and make other's feel loved I've always cycled through a bunch of niche's From wanting to make a generic vlog and gaming But nothing ever stayed But something which has been there since the day one but just slightly different everytime I cycle through Is to spread positivity and build a like minded community Evolving from having highly ambitious dreams of being Mr beast and helping everyone or making people's day But what these lacked for me was - It was more materialistic and less of the message [Not taking shots here , but that's just how I felt ] As of now , I feel like I finally have this niche which could finally help me realize my need to create along with my new found interest for filmmaking and document my life

We enter any industry fresh and malleable, we clear the fog for ourselves making a path or a small area under our feet and around us to try to see the small picture of the much bigger one. And we slowly explore little parts of this map… navigating to scary parts, but then coming back to the first landing we made if it wasn’t comfortable for us wherever we were headed. That path looks eventually like a web, like a little spider walking our threads that builds everything in connection with each other, and the strongest of webs are the ones with most interconnectivity. And you Joey made that web circling around and always making more connections through online interactions… but remember though most webs have a you in the middle, you always come back to the centre where the web in this map is strongest … you stayed you :) and you made that your core of your web, and you made that social responsibility yours, you stood up to say you want to make people’s lives better because you saw you had the power to do so as an influencer - making other people feel loved, connected, part of your web. You didn’t venture into other places to start making webs somewhere else - you came back :) and I’m happy to see you do that so authentically. In case y’all didn’t notice it was a spiderman reference cuz you know what everyone says joey looks like :P stay you Joey, I will stay me … keep making genuine videos so we know we can stay ourselves in this f*cked up world impervious to bad things… ☺️🤗

Joey, here is my truth. I've watched, not followed you. My destiny is My desitny, not guided by an "Influencer" a new made up 21 century word meaning the person you are influencing has no clue. I don't follow any of you. WATCH YOU Joey, because you're REAL. PERIOD.

I started watching you because I thought you were andrew garfield from spider man 😂. Then I figgured out you are different people. And then I started to watch more video's. And you kept coming up on my youtube . I can not image starting a public channel at 16. You really seem like a nice guy and I wish you the best life. These kind of video's are always very interesting to me .
