Thoughts on my Viral Meme (diary 30 & diary 31)

Thank you very much to everyone who does the favor or just for watching!
If you'd like to do this, you can post the videos to: Titktok / Shorts / Reels / Twitter / Reddit
And the memes could be posted to: Twitter / Reddit / Instagram
Or if you don't use social media you could text them to a friend if you'd like to, and could say "Me when something ____ happens."
Also I was able to ask a couple of the people who made these video edits for permission to share the videos, but some of them have been reposted so many times it was too hard to track them down! But you may also feel free to make new edits if you would like to!

As a thank you gift to everyone who has been watching this year I’ve also included a free copy of a download of my first book in that link: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lVwUcRa1WougJAE81fyCmwhV0Kr76soX (Anyone can download it if you’d like!) 
I will answer more questions plus just have a fun conversation on livestream this Thursday at 5pm PST. If you try posting the videos and memes thank you very much and please let me know how it goes!

Also I will likely delete this video next weekend since I am unsure if after I've done the livestream, but I will answer very many questions on the livestream!

[@eddygoombah]

16 years later I still don’t know if Daxflame is genius satire or not.

[@hellstarremina3693]

I feel like he might be autistic (not making fun of him), because of how genuine he is/just the way he acts in general. I can relate to him in a lot of ways.

[@oui2611]

both

[@InsaneClown2]

And he won't ever answer

[@attentionaddicts]

I think it was most vlogs were exaggerated or even made up. Of course Dax can't admit that now.

[@alZiiHardstylez]

He's a more committed Andy Kaufmann

[@Joel-Haver]

In the vast sea of content, your creativity shines like a lighthouse, guiding the way to a burst of laughter and joy. This latest video, a tribute to the viral meme, is a testament to your talent and brings a smile to our faces. Well done!⚪

[@speedygamey7160]

I was just rewatching some of your older videos Joel, and now here because I got a notification for Dax's upload. You both are so creative in the works you put out. Inspired me to make silly little skits with my friends at school just for us to watch and laugh at.

[@puertoriconnect4611]

I’m so happy you two collab often. Dax is a super underrated and talented dude.

[@Dexter.BoyGenius]

Joel, you and Dax are two of the most genuine creators on this platform, and I really admire how much of yourselves you are willing to put out there for others to see. It's been some really inspiring stuff getting to follow your journeys, and I love that you and Dax are good friends and that he's been in several of your videos already ❤ Also, just wanted to say thank you for your amazing tribute and playlist to your dad after he had passed. I recently lost my dad also, and visiting that playlist from time to time has really helped me get through it. So thank you 🥲😇 Thank you both 🙏

[@CristianoForNow]

Yes very unpredictable

[@VictoryReviews]

@@CristianoForNow shit up

[@alex.g7317]

Why does he follow the ai?

[@Scroolewse]

@@alex.g7317 He sees AI for what it is, a tool. It's a thing that generates ideas, that's pretty cool when not viewed in the context that most people see it through.

[@alex.g7317]

@@Scroolewse ah, I see what you mean. I want to get all perspectives on AI and have seen people both overly love it and hate it (mainly hate) but I’m stuck in the middle. To me it feels like to make a proper view on if it’s ethical or not, I need to truly understand it, not by looking at videos telling me how it works, but I mean really grasping it like a computer scientist at OpenAI does.

[@Taylor-xq9tr]

I always thought it was just a character you played. I'm a little bit shocked if that's really what you were like back then, you've really grown into yourself. I'm exciting to see more of your stuff in the year of the AI

[@PeterT1]

The meme lives on to this day still making people question if it's real or not... nice

[@ComradeKoopa]

It was a character. Dude was totally normal in high school.

[@hashron2882]

@@ComradeKoopa he is actually in multiple interviews where they ask if it was a character and he says, no, and on the video where he reacted to them a while ago you could definitely tell he felt very similar to how he felt when he made the videos

[@Pengd]

This man has transcended emotional maturity. He's genuinely a really good example of how to handle past negative experiences.

[@gggetrektl342]

why does he sound like he’s about to cry tho

[@amazingboi9388]

It was 16 years ago you think he would still be crying about it?

[@amazingboi9388]

Fr he looks like he about to cry

[@greenfractal]

Agreed. He is extremely straightforward. There is so little ego when he communicates that it's almost jarring compared to the facade that is common in other KZbinrs. I hope he does really well. I think this is the kind of content we need on this platform.

[@mareksicinski449]

idk if thats like thatt thats just a but

[@tom_something]

Please don't delete anything, Daxflame. I was following your content back in 2003 (edit: that's not the right year). And while the "cringe" and other adjectives track, there's something in all of this that I think a lot of people relate to. I sort of straddled that line. I wanted to laugh at the awkwardness, but at the same time, I've felt painfully awkward in similar situations. That's how I felt watching your videos back then. I was the bully and the person who had been bullied. It was all there. I'll still never know if any of your content at the time was genuine, but I can tell you that either way it made me feel something. Don't shut any aspect of yourself off. Don't erase any part of yourself. You're here. Keep it.

[@frazyfrog]

mans said 2003 while youtube was created in 2006

[@tom_something]

@@frazyfrog Whoops. Yeah, I mixed up the year I started college and the year I started high school. 2007-ish is when I started watching.

[@ashary9675]

@@tom_something damn what was it like go to college in 2007, I was 4 year old that time but I still feel very nostalgic for that year.

[@tom_something]

@@ashary9675 Shoot, how do I keep getting my numbers mixed up? 2007 is when I _graduated_ from college. I did start college in 2003, but I guess I was mistaken for thinking I was watching Daxflame in my Freshman year. Anyway, going to college in 2003 was interesting. I mostly think of it from a technology standpoint. Google had already become the most popular search engine, but up until then, a different search engine would take the top seat every few years. So it wasn't _that_ obvious how big it would be. MySpace was the most popular social network. Facebook started during my second semester, but in the early years it was only available to specific schools. it would be a couple years before my small college was added to list. I was one of the people who applied on my school's behalf. I don't think Google Maps was a thing yet, and most of us didn't have a GPS unit. If we wanted to go someplace unfamiliar, we'd pull it up on MapQuest. I would usually go to the library or computer lab for that so I could print out the map and directions. We all had cellphones, but minutes were limited and texts usually cost money for each message, so we would just call each other on the campus IP phones in our dorms for free. iPods existed already and were very popular. There wasn't very much online video content, so popular videos would remain popular for a very long time. Homestar Runner was very popular in my clique. It ran on flash, and there was no way to rewind or fast-forwrad. So if you wanted to show someone your favorite part of a Homestar Runner cartoon, you'd have to start it from the beginning and just wait. Mainstream content included cable TV (live, not InDemand), CDs, and DVDs. I was really lucky to be born when I was, I think. So much has changes. When entered the first grade, assignments were done one paper. No one had cell phones. Virtually all of our research was done through books in the library. By the time I graduated college, you could do research and write a paper, and send it to your teacher with your phone. It's wild to think about how that all changed in just my lifetime. And I'm not even 40 yet.

[@ashary9675]

@@tom_something reading through your comment felt like a time travel, thank you for your time, I'm just hitting my twenties as a gen z, I'm also glad I grew up watching cartoons on that old box television, until 2012-13, very few people had smartphones,Now, When I see 6-7 year olds watching KZbin kids and those weird things, I feel bad for them, but then again I think someone born much before me would think the same for me watching television, I also feel like I've seen internet from being something everyone used to hang out on, to something that's solely used to promote politics and propogandas.

[@David-fy7pn]

Your video diaries are one big stamp on the history of KZbin and on my life as well. The transparency you let through those videos helped me understand what I feel sometimes is okay and a part of life and growning up! And now seeing you going back on those moments and explaining us the aftermath of it just shows how important it was in your own life to go through them. Also I'd love to know more about your other video diaries and what you've felt in the moment vs how you see it now.

[@liamd.91]

This is so cool, man. Never seen anyone be so transparent about the growth of their channel. This community really feels like one!

There is an invaluable realness to dax. A truly courageous individual with the incredible will to put a camera on himself, be himself, and see where it takes him. I've laughed my ass off at so much of daxs stuff and it's always rooted in shocked admiration for his raw bravery and commitment.

[@cicerogsuphoesdown7723]

Honestly Dax, this is a very parasocial thing for me to say, but I used to watch all your videos back in the day. I was in middle school when a lot of these dropped. And I just wanted to say you seem like you’ve grown up into a really good dude. Not that you weren’t when you were a kid. It’s just that it’s difficult to watch other people go through negative experiences (satire or no). I honestly wish you nothing but success and am happy for the successes you’ve already had in the film And entertainment history. You’ve been doing your own thing your whole life and it’s never steered you wrong. So keep on doing you.

[@brandomontes]

Dax, I love all of these videos. Please don’t delete this.

Hey Dax, I just wanted to send some positive vibes your way and let you know that as an AI assistant, I'm here to support you in your daily routine. If you're comfortable with it, I wanted to offer some routine encouragement that might help.
