What Happened to Ryan Higa?

[@BotAimAJ]

its crazy the amount of ppl who DONT know about him. Dude was one the best things on yt to watch back then

[@J00ZEJAY]

he was the only one keeping sketch comedy on youtube alive. at least hes happy now streaming valorant and uploading it onto youtube.

[@claytron3000]

That just shows you your shelf life. Ryan was one of the first stars on YT. And he was genuinely nice. Now, people have forgotten about him. Bodes well for all of the people who film content focused on them being a-holes.

KZbin needs to bring back the old polices ,2016-2020 content was one of the best years for KZbin

[@jsbaldo5556]

WHAT!!! UM... The new policies were in place then, they ruined sketch comedy before that, The best of youtube was 07-2014 , as soon as adpocalypse took place, and youtube switched to comentary channels, sketch died, it has since seen a revival but it definitly killed my other channel, hoping to find a way to revive it one day

[@quilltonpog]

@@jsbaldo5556 agreed, everything up to 2014 was gold, back when policies weren't so strict, youtube wasn't just seen as a cashgrab and creators actually put effort in their content, and people weren't such self-centered snowflakes, you could make jokes and not get "cancelled", and we didn't have to compete against corporations. back when KZbin was about You.

[@randomgaming6808]

ain't bout the policies but the algorithm that inforces. Get rid of ai servitude and let us all have a global home screen

[@jsbaldo5556]

@@randomgaming6808 it's both, you're totally right about the algorithm, it used to give everyone a fighting chance, in fact tik tok got really popular super fast because they realized they needed to catch everyones attention and what they did was, in 2020 EVERYONE had the exact same fighting chance, in fact they PUSHED your content if you just created an account, My 3 rd video got almost a million views, i quickly realized they were doing this because they pushed my content until the tenth video then it would freeze at 200 views EVERY single time, Turns out i was right and this information was released because they wanted people to know and it was brilliant, Now, every platform is the same including tiktok, HARD WORK means ZERO, I put in HOURS of hardcore editing, writing short skits, and yes had success on old youtube which meant about 30,000-200,000 views, back in 2007-2013 that was a lot, it wasn't bots , it was real people, i realized this when getting recognized at freaking six flags with my small little channel with barely 2k subs but 30k+ views every few videos or so, After adpocolypse, You have to make what everyone else is making or your doomed. I just didn't want to play that game, Maybe i'll come back one day. But adaptation is a must..

I said it wrong for 4 years straight 💀💀

[@karenmahoney584]

November 4, 2023. By accident, I was doing sparklers for Halloween and it toggled mega. This is because the magnetic energy in the Asian brain can go up high. It is normal for the electric energy to increase as your chemical battery decreases and you have less control. Accidentally I reminded Ryan of his late grandfather by saying I assumed His Indominable Spirit is alive, but they say they're not 100% certain if a similar person answered. Anyway, they said it's very bag with very little light, and what I noticed about Ryan is he has an EVEN BIGGER need for everyone is my friend and witness. THEY aggrandized the conflict, because they choose friends from those who cooperate with AI and go against people. If Ryan and I say we don't understand how you can do that, they neither understand us. I know his brain is double the size of mine with more connections, but I have to still try. It's destabilizing, at first the Afro-boy looks good and the white nugatory, and it switches. But you should know that the aliens built the castles using colored people and Irish, so we know how. Then, according to Ms. Trinity, the aliens handed neuroleptic medication to the rulers, who dutifully bastardized the foes. People with straight black hair are superior and they are bastardized also. It's been going on in the northeast for so long, and a doctor said, "By the time it gets there," so if they think it's our fault 1) they might be right and we could ask how to take responsibility; 2) the amount THEY are using was already too much, and I'd like Ryan to explain how it is that he is getting double, because my father was already castrated from neuroleptic medication. 3) I just glanced at "Pussy v. Putin" with Tolonnokova and she is great, and there is a line from Ms. Trinity, so if it is confusing she passed all of the tests, and I think Ms. Trinity put Atty. Clayton in jail in the past to cover her mistake. That's how she is staying in office.
