[@thedomainhalo]

Ayyyyyy thanks for commenting Matthew! Looking forward to seeing you later this year ❤

[@bradleyjones6754]

Have always admired your honesty about the financial side of your content creation lifestyle and that it is possible to make content full time but it’s also easy to see that there are sacrifices you make to do it. Your community will always be here for you even if the frequency of videos changes or even the content type changes entirely. Much love and take care of yourself ❤️

[@thedomainhalo]

Thank you so much. These kinds of comments really help me push through

[@connorburns9422]

I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling man. I hope you know you're not alone in the fight against bad mental health. I also hope you know that if you do branch out of halo mega content that we will (at least I will) respect that. And on a personal note. While I love mega and will still buy it from time to time I can't help but feel myself losing the hype for Halo. I will always love it for a list of reasons but I feel myself detaching from the brand

[@Jay18films-mn1cf]

I hope you feel better sorry about anything that your going threw your videos are amazing

[@syflaxz]

We all have our moments of reflection, it helps us realize things in our lives and try to find inner strength to stay connected to the things that are meaningful to us. Please don't give up what you are doing, circumstances may not be favorable many times but we must always face everything with optimism and hope for the future. I hope all goes well and please don't ruin your mental health on things that are out of your control. Every video brings a smile to my face and many other people's faces, never give up.

[@thedomainhalo]

Thanks you for such a heartfelt message

I'm not the best person to talk on this Domain, but, we're with you. you can do it man. we're all behind you.

Thank you mate

We all love you Simon yes we like mega but the reason we stay is for you, no matter what you decide or what path you go down we will always be here to support you .

[@Lux-195]

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I just wanna say no matter what happens to this channel I’ll always enjoy the videos you’ve made. You originally inspired me to start collecting this stuff and now I have a massive collection that I’m genuinely happy with and I’m really happy I got into this hobby so thank you for making all these videos. I’ve never made a comment or anything before due to social anxiety but I wanted to finally say something especially because I grew up watching this channel. I hope this new content goes well for you and I’ll stay by your side

[@thedomainhalo]

For a first comment this is an incredible one. Thank you for stepping outside your comfort zone to let me know that this is important to you.

[@Lux-195]

[@smartgunner0511]

Honestly bro I can understand you. Not all Content creators can win big. Mega is very small community. I think you need to take time bro and work on yourself. I believe in you brother

[@jacobgingerhoffman7816]

I watch pretty much every video you make no matter what because I love mega and actually care that you as a person are doing well. You have to decide what is best for you at times. Maybe it is to slow down and do it on the side as more of a hobby but that's ok. Not having things materialize as you may have wanted isn't always a bad thing it may be a better opportunity is opening that you can't see yet. Life isn't always easy but growth as a person hardly ever happens in the easy times of life. I love your content and will continue to support you if you make 1 video a day or 1 a year. Keep up the good work, friend 👏.

[@thedomainhalo]

At our lowest points we are open to the greatest change. Thank you for this kind message

[@diegoplatas3621]

I wish you nothing but your success. You got me hooked up in halo mega in 2020 when it had been years since stopped collecting them I just want to say thank you for that and the best in your future.

[@Multiversal_Productions]

As someone who was watching your content when I was 12, being 24 now, I fully understand the point about Nostalgia. It's the most powerful drug and can bring overwhelming happiness... but also a deep sadness if you use for too long. The community has changed in those 12 years which is good, change is good. I was there when theSSmotion was one of the leading channels in the community and I'm still here for the Domain who is still one of the leading channels. But man, there comes a point where your own health HAS to come first no matter what. If that means changes which removes the Domain as the money maker, you'll still be cared for by the community. If you stick with it, I can't speak for everyone but I'll be watching.

[@thedomainhalo]

Thanks mate! I was reflecting a lot on what you said a while back about not mixing your art with your finances. I still believe there’s a balance to be made but figuring out what said balance is is never easy

[@artixsmusic]

Beautiful video, Simon. I honestly think that the youtube algorithm has robbed you because you're doing everything that you're supposed to be doing. I'm so proud of you for not becoming one of those over-saturated thumbnail type of content creators. Keep it going, you've got this!

[@thedomainhalo]

Thank you. I try so hard to be genuine and not mislead people with my content. I’m happy to hear that it is appreciated

[@covenantchat9870]

Hang on in there Spartan Simon we are all with you don't give up, you stopped the Covenant, siliced the Flood beat the Banished. If you can do that you can beat anything 😀

[@Jo_Boi_OFFICIAL]

You are a great KZbinr, and I hope god helps you with whatever you are going through and I will keep supporting you and your channel.

[@halojon3909]

Terrific nostalgic video Simon !!! Hang in there. Everything happens for a reason. Life is peaks and valleys

[@thedomainhalo]

Appreciate you Jon! Hope the family is well 🙏

[@DaCoolMike]

I feel you my man. I know how expensive MEGA HALO is and then along with distribution problem making MEGA HALO reviews is never cheap. I've been collecting MEGA since the early 2000's back in the Dragon's day. And when I found out MEGA stop doing COD sets I was so sad. Then I discovered your channel and you introduced me to HALO even if I never played any of the games. You have spark a fire in me that convince me to keep buying MEGA HALO even though I know nothing about the franchise myself. You encouraged me to keep going and have faith with MEGA. That's a reason to let you know that you are an amazing content creator. I honestly envy you with all the big projects you did with MEGA. And when you commented on my reviews it was an honor. Never give up because you told me in your own way to never give up. I support you along the way and hope to even meet with you in person when the time comes and do collabs together.

[@thedomainhalo]

What an incredible message. Dm me on Facebook let’s do a fun collab soon 🙏

[@DaCoolMike]

@@thedomainhalo Just let me know if you have an idea for a collab in mind and I'm always happy to join in. So dont give up. 😁

[@JarrettSkrobarcek]

Love your content. I think the real obstacle is the limited energy from the company into this line. It seems to be dying. I would definitely like to see more commitment from Mattel/Mega.

[@ArmyDocVet]

Don’t give up! I don’t know you, but spoke to you on instagram once. Dude don’t quit what you like. I know it takes up your time, but we have a very short time on this earth. Do what makes you happy man. Do it for all of us that couldn’t.

[@thedomainhalo]

This channel really does make me happy. Thank you

[@lsbc9666]

This is awesome I've always wanted the og set.

[@DemarcationMedia]

Figuring out your 'why' is vital to keep on with something like this. Burnout is definitely real too. It's all about figuring out that balance and letting the passion for your work come from there. Of course, that's easier said than done

[@Akirahtwe]

Great video, I hope you start feeling better in life and I’m glad you’re being honest about the negatives at the moment. I know many creators who hid their struggles to get content by and before you knew it they were gone so I’m glad you’re shedding some light on stuff like that. I think that your future is very important and that saving up is a must and if that means that you might have to slow down content that’s perfectly fine. Just as a send off I’d like to say I’ll stand by the domain for as long as the eye can see, been here for 4-5 years why stop? I wish you the best of luck in everything ❤

[@thedomainhalo]

Amazing stuff. It’s great to hear from people like you that I don’t usually see in the comments section. Thanks for your support now and in the future

[@cheesybeansboy]

More nostalgic reviews! Also you never added the red troop transport to the nostalgic reviews playlist

[@Mb-4444]

As I watched this video it made me remeber the first time I found your content, in the form of the warthog run set and your review of it, and to really reflect on the last 4 or 5 years, it’s obvious you’ve come extremely far in not only your content but as a person, as many people have said already, your followers will always be there even if content slows down, but I think personally that your content as a whole always comes back, after you went to Hong Kong, in covid and so forth so, it may be a down period but I’m sure you’ve got all our support no matter where you take the channel, have a good one.

[@moua811]

I’ve been here from almost day one back to thessmotion days! I’m 24 now, and regardless of whatever you decide to pursue; myself and I’m sure everyone of your other followers will understand! You are definitely a martyr in the community and I’m sure I speak for everyone that we have your back through and through! Take care of yourself and remember you are here not only for us but yourself!

[@thedomainhalo]

Since the beginning! Oh man big thanks to you then. I really appreciate this message

[@lilbobJoe45]

[@littlecharmander9427]

I think this video was great and I like how you told how you feel. I myself enjoy when you find rare hauls or items, I wish I sometimes could have those items. I do have a complete original arctic wolverine which I think is pretty cool and not the easiest to come by complete. Also you can take breaks and we will still enjoy and come back to your content. I wish the best for you right now. Ps I find your shorts fun to watch, like when you rate halo heroes.

[@thedomainhalo]

Thank you! I have the images edited and ready for every ranking video for the rest of the series!

[@DougWalker1990]

I only started watching the channel since i got into collecting (Pelican inbound release) I love the channel and will still be here when new content comes out. If you need some time to just get inspired ot rested or making money at a boring job we'll still be here for when you get back. And if its just a video with little Polish or editing cause its made in your spare time well still love watching it.

[@thedomainhalo]

That means a lot, thank you

[@dalebiskey2808]

Ya really seem to have Mega's ear when it comes to translating consumer desires to what's produced. It's just a thought, but maybe ya should sit down with Mega and see if there's a future for ya in the business.

Simon! Sounds like you are hurting my man. Keep your head up and working hard, you cannot fail. What is special about our particular community here on social media is it is an ACTIVE community. You have plenty of friends, followers, and support out here. We got your six.

[@pedroortiz9364]

The golden age in my opinion for this Chanel was in 2020 - 2022 but do not get me wrong I still support him all the way.

[@thedomainhalo]

The health of the channel runs in line with the health of the brand. If there are less sets coming out the channel won’t do as well. We basically didn’t have a fall line up last year and only four releases this spring. We have to hope that this improves

[@TOAOFULTIMATEDOOM]

It's usually hard at the start of the year, but I get seeing that making vids on Mega products, specifically Halo, might not be as catchy as it once was. Maybe one day. I think you should try experimenting, Mega has a lot of history with other and older lines, perhaps there's something there for a series of vids. Just a suggestion

[@thedomainhalo]

It's a great suggestion! I really want to get involved with Mega Bloks Dragons if the audience is there with me

I’d say do the videos as a hobby/part-time thing if you’re unable to live off of it. As much as I love your nostalgia series, I would rather it come from someone who’s actually living healthy and enjoying life.

Seeing that wolverine compared to the first iteration just wow makes me more sad to know that I had the new version and my dogs got a hold of it and totally chewed it up and now in order to replace it I would have to shell out 200 dollars for it same with the 4 fireball sets I had that got thrown out by my ex

That last segment is so relatable, not to make this about me but I am feeling exactly the same, KZbin is unfortunate, the hours you put in don’t always payback unless you’re getting millions of views, and of course it’s hard to stay motivated when the work you put in doesn’t pay off financially, and it’s even harder when you have a community because you don’t want to leave them in the dark, so I 100% get you man, we can chat about it on discord if you want but up to you, hope things get better ❤️‍🩹
