[@tonjamehelis5908]

I thought I was Iskall's OLDEST fan. I'm 51! My daughter got me watching at the start of last season. I started playing Minecraft during COVID with my family and my kids' friends. It has been awesome getting to know my kids' friends through playing the game on a server together. I LOVE Iskall's silliness and pushing himself to try new things (color blending) and building as we watch. I learn nothing from timelapses - except unrealistic timelines for giant builds - it looks so easy when you do it! I have been loving the social interactions and Theater Kid performances. The bit with Joels had me laughing so hard I cried. I'm so shocked people are hating on Iskall. I don't understand that at all, but, you know, I'm old. LOL

[@galacticx738]

true, i love watching iskall mostly bcz he cuts all the boring stuff out that other hermits make the whole episodes about, tho I am enjoyer of all hermits this season ;)

[@Dr-Fate-07]

Im not against the viewers who are here for big mega builds but you gotta remember, hermicraft started as a group of friends hanging out and having fun.. no big mega bases or mega farms.. just hanging out with eachother and they are doing the same thing they did in s1, s2 etc.. so pls respect their decision

[@nerdjournal]

I mean... I don't disagree, but I would wager the VAST majority of viewers are from the Mega Build area, as most of the Hermits who play now weren't even on S1 or S2. It doesn't change how people should respect each other. Most people are doing megabuilds anyway. I think people have a right to criticize because it's just allowing people a right to have an opinion. What isn't okay is for people to use criticism or opinions as a vehicle to tear people down. However, I think a lot of people who appear overinvested are just role-playing along with the creators. I know I joke around a lot, especially any time I hear a content creator complaining they are going to be attacked for something in the comment section, I make a satire comment of those attacks. I make it pretty obvious it's a joke, and I get a BUNCH of people trashing me over a joke. So I think it may be just as important to stay in our own lanes, even as commenters. Because text is hard to gauge the tone of what people are saying. Sometimes it seems really serious when they only mean it to reflect a joke. One thing I will say though, it's naive to think you can tell haters to just not watch, and they are going to get the message oh well we must not bother him. Because that is the opposite of what the message gives. Which, unfortunately, is a flaw of Iskall. He takes what some commenters and redditors say to close to the heart. I know he plays up the bravado and tries to deflect that he doesn't care, but if that were true he wouldn't give it any attention, yet he gives it LOADS of attention. I'm a huge fan of iskall, but he does have a bad habit of feeding the trolls.

[@disrespank]

No one says don't socilize or be friends. BUT all other hermits - they are making Megabuilds happen AND finding time to socialize. That's what HC always been about. Iskall been doing nothing but trolling this season. Multiple months later he is still living in a small blue shipping container and built only one side of an OK looking building. So yeah - we should call him out. This is not what we expect from a veteran HC player. Not up to the standard of an SMP that is known and viewed for megabuilds.

[@smookekeller5935]

No one cares and just go to this timestamp 16:00 to see not even iskall cares we're here to watch iskall and what he does if you don't like the content just don't watch it.​@@disrespank

[@TheZombiepixie]

@@disrespank I understand that megabuilds might be why you watch Hermitcraft, but to say that's always been what HC is about is just blatantly untrue. I've been watching HC content from various Hermits for 11-ish years now (since the second half of season 2) and in that time, there's always been some people doing megaprojects, but not everyone and not all the time. I love seeing the builds, but I've always watched for the social interactions mainly (which is why I like watching Iskall as well). The server has steadily moved more towards megabases in the later seasons, true, but it's never been a requirement for playing on the server. And even if it was, it's not my server, so why should I police it? If I don't like a youtuber's content, I tend to simply stop watching and move on, not 'call them out' for having the gall to create something I may not like. That seems like a somewhat futile pursuit, anyway.

[@cyaneous227]

​@@disrespankstop expecting creators to preform in the ways you want them to. if you don't like it don't watch it iskall can play the game however he wants and it's not his problem you don't enjoy it. he doesn't need to be "called out" for not making a mega build you are just annoying.

[@isabellefaguy7351]

I discovered HC mid season 8 and what I liked instantly was the social interactions. You all could only build dirt huts and go on adventures and prank each other and I would watch.

[@Themuffinman1820]

I discovered HC oddly through TFC way back when

[@FieFla]

I discovered HC early season 7, which iirc was a very mega build heavy season, yet what I loved the most about the server was the interactions and shenanigans.

[@OgdenM]

Same here. Granted, I'd probably poke fun at them for living in a dirt hut

[@chillin2363]

I’m totally baffled you’re getting hate for this new season. You’re one of my favorite hermitcrafters, easily (tho you’re all wonderful). Don’t change for the views or the haters - your natural self is what keeps me coming and even watching Vodskall!

[@varblased]

This is the first hermitcraft season for me that I have been following religiously. The literal reason why I subscribed you was the fact how unhinged you are. The first hermit house of yours with random blocks? GENIUS! I loved the idea n chaos. I like the realness and human side of youtubers. I want to relate and mega builds are not something I relate to. Jokes, giggles and mistakes are something I love to see. Might be the fact that I'm 22 so I watch to relax and timelapses with techno music arent always relaxing :D. I'm glad you don't let the negative comments get to you

[@jamesnumbers7087]

I’m loving the “true Iskall” you’ve given us this season. So entertaining to watch

[@hannesbaum9318]

I think one thing Iskall should always remember: Maybe in the short term some building videos are gonna have more kids watching it. But if you look at every other bigger youtube channel ever, if you loose passion for what you are doing long term the viewers are gonna notice it (maybe just subconsciously) and gonna leave either way. It isnt worth the trouble forcing yourself into a role.

[@Jordesmofnog]

This is by far my favorite season of Hermitcraft! This new format is ehy im watching the Vodskall channel. I just can't get enough of the real Iskall.

[@mooseroom]

this season of hc feels like the most mature one and not just targeted for kids. it's definitely the one i enjoy most since most of us viewers who have been following you for awhile are a lot older now

[@quick.sylver]

Iskall, I’ve absolutely LOVED watching your content in this season. I never got super into Hermitcraft until season 10, and it’s because what I wanted was more goofs and improv! Your countless bits, the chaos snails, ore mountain, the permit office, all of them are highlights that keep me engaged. It’s also so much more interesting to watch someone plan and debate a build in real-time than it is to see something pre-planned be built in a timelapse. Most of the time I think the timelapse is the least engaging part of the video. Is it pretty? Yeah, but it lasts all of thirty seconds and isn’t super dynamic. Then again, I usually listen more than I watch, so interactions are all that more important. It’s amazing to see an intelligent KZbinr speak out on the topic of “hall monitoring” and acknowledge that, while it’s okay to be emotionally invested, it’s also important to trust that your favorite artists have everything under control. I wish I could broadcast the line “if it goes on KZbin, it’s okay” to the entire fan base.

Hallo👋. Bin 50 Jahre alt. Und Iskall sein Humor ist wirklich das beste und ich denke genau das fehlte auf Hermitcraft. Ich glaube sein Humor spricht eher uns an, als die heutige Generation. Tschuldigung, ich weiß man spricht eine Frau nicht an wegen ihres Alters. Aber in diesen Fall, ging es nicht anders. Ja, die deutsche Minecraft Community ist leider erschreckend so gut wie tot. Ich sehe da kein Deutschen KZbinr bei dem es spaß macht. Außer Gronkh (wegen ihn bin auf Minecraft gestoßen vor 13 Jahren), Tobi und Pan wenn da einen mal wieder Minecraft spielt, wird es wieder gesuchtet. Es ist eher gemütlich und ruhig. Aber wenigstens nichts was total irres was man sonst im deutsch sprachigen Raum findet.

[@andrem682]

I'm not sure about other viewers but I prefer the social interactions over seeing the builds myself

[@ItzTheGecko]

Part of why I watch you is because especially with streams and vodskall I feel like a see a more authentic time of what a day on the hermitctaft server is like. I like how it feels like a down to earth person doing what they love with their friends and not really doing it for the gain of “content”. The happiness you share in your social interactions comes from the heart and it shows and I think that’s one of the most wonderful things about your videos right now.

[@pdzx346]

I have to admit that even me, an above 20 years old adult at the time, wondered if the hermit war of season 6 was all a show or if there was a bit of genuine beef/rivalry behind it. I was very new to SMP and hermitcraft, and was only looking at Grian perspective, so it was great when he paused and reminded its audience at the end of an episode that it was all fun and game and everyone was friends. It clears things up for me and from that point I understand better the dynamics between hermits and content creators at large. I really think those reminders that it's all a show / it's all fun and games are really important for new viewers, espescially when things heats up a bit in the fictionnal SMP history.

[@OgdenM]

Hah well you know they were all laughing through that whole war anyway in most of the videos.

[@pdzx346]

Since I think, mid season 6 I have watched your videos from your highs and your lows. However I do believe that this season has been your most successful for you as a person because of the way that you interact and mess around with the hermits (which make my laugh so hard that my stomach hurts). As long as the humour of your episodes continue I will be more than happy to continue watching (even if I have to go through the pain 😂)

[@michaelmana]

For me personally im a much bigger fan of you guys just having fun and funny bits together then big impressive builds. Like there cool and all to look at but I rarely remember builds of the hermits on a regular basis I remember the funny bits. Thats why something like the Life series is so popular and good, cause it focuses purely on storytelling, funny bits, and the characters you all play. SO iskall please keep it this way, and continue making content you enjoy making!

I started watching in season 7 when I discovered Hermitcraft, and this is my favorite season of yours by far. You upload a shit load of videos (which to me is a sign that you're having a lot of fun and have found a way to make good content without a week's worth of effort, which is awesome) and I watch all of them as soon as they show up on youtube. I bet I would love to watch your streams as well, I really like your personality and your humor and you've been letting a lot of it show this season!

I've been watching HC since Season 7, but honestly, this is the first season I've been watching your channel. I had a "core few" that I always watched before, because there are only so many super builds you can watch. But this season, with all the Hermits having more fun, being true to themselves, and getting together to just play, it has broadened my watch list considerably. So, while some kids might be less interested, the adults, I think are MORE interested, because there's a lot more variety in the shenanigans, as well as in the builds.

Us viewers have to remind ourselves that you all are good friends and know what you're doing is OK with the other hermits. This season is my favorite because everyone is doing it more for themselves and what they enjoy, it really shows. Thank you for your content and keeping things real with us!

This season has been my favorite season of hermitcraft ever. I have watched almost every single episode posted by every hermit. Watching creators I have never watched before. I love the building aspect, but the social aspect of this season is really what’s made it for me

[@finnplays0]

I consistently watch You, Grian, and Mumbo (sahara bros for life!!) And after all three of you had some serious burnout in seasons 8/9 and had to reassess/change your season style this has been the FUNNIEST and most consistently entertaining season I've ever watched, I dig the new you

[@TyroRNG]

This season feels like stand-up comedy. Not scripted but still aiming to entertain and not taking everything too seriously.

[@XPRykan]

Dude. Your laugh is infectious and you were unironically the reason I got back into hermitcraft. I didn't watch season 4, and then my little sis of all people was raving about how much she liked your content, and you singlehandedly sucked me back into the series. I watch so many hermits on and off because I have a job that involves a lot of waiting around for like 20 minutes at a time, but you're basically the only hermit (Minus Etho) I'll drop everything for and watch.

[@milathorsday4001]

I personally love this season. My favourite thing about iskall's content has always been his personality and humor

[@mitchellalbers1713]

Iskall, this has by far been my favorite season of yours! I can tell you’re being genuine, you’re having fun, and I’m loving it. I’ve watched more this season than any season previously.

[@cezero11]

You've been absolutely on fire this season. And the last bts with Joel had me crying XD

[@Ytschi]

Iskall, honestly, this season is really enjoyable. I love your way of doing things and i can feel that you enjoy yourself a lot. It shows in your builds, they carry your personality and its very enjoyable for me. Stay the way you are and be proud of everything that you have and you are. You're amazing

[@nielskeller1734]

that was such a crazy and honest speech at the end

[@user-yh8bp6nx7k]

This is the first season I’ve watched every one of your hermitcraft videos. You and cubfan are my favorites and are probably the two least traditional hermits this season. Keep it up, you’re doing great things

[@krakakapaul7395]

Most actors will say when people are questioning if something is real you did a good job. I’m really enjoying your content this season

[@christophersmith1694]

I can't believe you freestyled that tower its so good.

[@ntrowan3987]

It was very cool to learn more about your creative process in this video! Thanks for sharing the story about Beef and how you re-did giving him the pink house. It was a really neat behind the scenes look at how you make videos. This is the first season where I have watched every single one of your videos. It's interesting (and surprising!) to hear that it's not your best season yet. I was a casual viewer before and would sometimes watch a random video if it popped up on my feed. After watching your vault hunters x hermitcraft crossover I now actively look for every new video of yours :)

[@jessiepapabear4272]

Love your building this season and your comedy is on fleek! Lol

[@AaronsCorner807]

ima be completely honest, i seen you in mumbos videos before, and never felt that interested. but youre videos this season, it got me interested and ive been watching every video that comes out lmao. ninja gave me advice the other day on his stream. "if youre not having fun then your audience isnt". this is probably the main reason ive grown to love your content. keep up the awesome videos! love it

[@kiwimiwi5452]

I'm watching 27/27 hermits and you are one of the first I think of when anyone asks me about Hermitcraft. I LOVE what you've been doing this season, all the chaos has me laughing for hours on end. I can really tell you've been enjoying yourself and I enjoy your content because of that.

[@mark5617]

Two things ive noticed across the board with this season of hermitcraft. One is the hermits are being more social with each other (looking at you after dark crew). One thing that may have contributed to this is TFC's passing (ive heard nothing to confirm this just a head cannon) and its awsome to see the hermits interaction between each other. Two the builds are smaller in scale and people settled more close proximity to each other. Ill say this as a moderate length viewer. I love the interactions between you guys it feels more human and not just a script. I think everyone is doing not only thier own thing but doing it in a fun manner. Keep on doing what your doing guys its a nice change to some of us but a change that has been on the horizon for a long time.

[@icedcovfefe6580]

Iskall, not only have you become my favorite hermit this season, but my favorite KZbinr in general. I absolutely love your videos, especially how you're doing it this season. When you're having fun, we are

[@OrangeMan-ek1xu]

as a new iskall fan that tried to watch his videos in earlier seasons this season is far more entertaining for me. just keep making the videos that make you happy i love watching them

[@darkdayz13]

your play through of this season has by far been my favorite. the amount of times i’ve busted out laughing. it’s just been great fun and i’m super happy you’re being more relaxed with your editing style/language ect. the fact that you yourself are enjoying the season makes such a difference in the energy of the videos. thanks for making such great content!

[@the0elementalist849]

This is by far my favorite season of yours BECAUSE it isn't pre-planned. Watching your building process in these BTS videos has been incredible!

[@davegraham2169]

you being "unhinged" this season, is EXACTLY why I finally subbed to you

[@ecciq]

The funny and wholesome interactions make hermitcraft unique, its the whole reason i keep watching for the personalities. Literally EVERYBODY is making big builds on youtube, people who watch for the big builds don't watch for hermitcraft, they just watch to see the builds. There is many many many big build tutorials or big build hardcore videos, they can just watch those.

[@ecciq]

Majority of them are not hermitcraft fans, they are fans of building videos. Its much better to make videos for yourself and loyal fans instead of for the views.

[@Kate_Fyria]

I watch you because of vault hunters series with the other hermits and False interactions with you. I was loving vault hunters on false's channel and I found out you were the head guy creating that, and I was like I i got to watch him! Then I stayed for the pranks and chaos because thats who I am in real life. I'm in my 30's and still prank other camp counselors at the girl scout camp I volunteer at over the sumer. Like my dude, I love your channel bro. Keep up what youre doing its hilarious! 😂

[@elyelsonfree]

This is my first season watching hermitcraft, and you're my favourite so far! I love your sense of humour, your chaotic energy, and how you've begun to strike fear into hermit hearts when you message 'I'm coming over'. I'm so excited for the murder mystery, and the street you and stress made looks so good! I LOVED the mission possible base, and the apartments, and all of your builds. The monolith you made the 'eyesore' base into was such a great idea, too. I love how all the hermits have a very chill, laid back atmosphere, and you're all doing great builds and great bits! I really like seeing the amazing stuff people build, but I think the interactions really truly make this season for me. And you've been so much fun to watch. I hope you keep doing what you love, however it's most fun for you to do it, and I look forward to seeing more iskall videos!

[@TheDertyFerd]

Dude, I'm 50+ yrs old. The reason I watch you and other hermits, is because you're having fun. To me it's a world away from the distopian BS that I have to deal with everyday. I am a pure enjoyer of minecraft (my daughter got me into it during the pandemic) and its one of the best games I've ever played. I've ventured into modded, including VH & ATM. Hermitcraft reminds me of the days, a longtime ago, when I used to have time to play with my friends. That was a special time in my life. I've moved to a different point in my life, because I've had to. Enjoy it brother. If there is one constant in life, it is change. But I here for it. Keep being you and enjoy the wonderful opportunities you have been given!

[@keyryn8380]

This has been one of my favorite seasons. Not only have I watched a ton of your content but Ive been branching off and watching other Hermits a lot too, which I had never done before with any other season.

[@JinxedInsomnia]

I love this season - everyone's videos are so much more laid back and more real (and unhinged). This is the first season where I'm actively searching for more Hermit's videos to see all the shenanigans. Keep doing you Iskall

[@MaxCrack33]

Heh, I've been watching you more this season than ever before because of your humor and insanity.

[@Ethagramlive]

This is what I like about Iskall’s content it feels like a break from watching the normal hermitcraft videos.
