Why I Made A New Channel

Took a few years, but I'm really happy I finally made this channel

[@jjmississippi8125]

Even when he’s trying to have genuine conversation with his audience, he still finds shinies

[@duckbee5543]

It’s just the John Guy guarantee

[@dangerham8091]

he can’t keep getting away with this

[@ericosb4503]

You know what they say happens when you subscribe.

[@GreatGreenSerperior]

Swablu was my 3rd ever shiny in Pokemon Violet

[@Riptide2]

it wasn't like 3 minutes in the video tho

[@Purplecliffe]

❤

[@PuzzledPerplexed]

Yo?

[@littlefiddlesticks]

I came from MandJTV, and i decided after a while i like you too. You’re wholesome nice and i enjoy both that and video games. I found your videos to be something i could put on in my background when i just need to be a veggie. Last year i enjoyed my only stream viewing of the year when i was sick with covid. I was so miserable with it, but during the worst portion woke up every hour or so listening to you and felt the positivity, and felt better than i thought i could have.I have really bad asthma and i was really scared, but you made me feel comforted. Thank you! I wish you all the success you deserve! ❤

[@JB-tl8rj]

In all my many years of watching many different youtubers, I can CONFIDENTLY say John is probably the most genuine person on the platform. You can kinda tell he always means what he says.

[@notoriousDIP]

He’s just a happy guy

[@sushi287]

Very wholesome

[@Robo-Kitty]

I just want to say, just hearing him talk is just so comforting. He is the most sincere guy, and this video legitimately touched me. Keep making great content.

[@talesoftableiii1584]

I felt the same way, I'm really exited for future videos on this cannel!

[@sharalakid]

Yeah, just hearing him open up to us gives me the feels, I hope he keeps doing what he does, cause this comment section shows that a lot of people care about him and the content he's making.

[@Patterrz]

Mentioning the old Call of Duty commentary channels really took me back. Having another form of creative outlet will be really refreshing for you I think!

[@Vandy323]

Have you thought about making this channel almost like a Podcast channel? You'll periodically have guests on like once a month or twice a month and y'all just sit down and talk? Answer questions from the comments section, talk about whatever ya'll want? I definitely think there's still a portion of people on KZbin that love podcast style content. You can still have shiny hunting or other gameplay in the background as well! Just a thought :]

[@hudsonsamps2366]

That’s a good thought

[@junkcarnival151]

I would love a podcast with john mandjtv and purplecliffe

[@BlazingJ972]

@junkcarnival151 you see that's the thing... Mikey and Jack don't collaborate anymore. They haven't in months.

[@mechashadow]

Like Calm Mind Podcast?

[@Stoneybear1]

I would love seeing John talk ramble about random things for 2 hours

[@2Young2FeelThisOld]

Seriously I'm here for this John. Your normal content helped me get through a deployment overseas a couple years ago. I missed the birth of my youngest kid because I had to be in a country on the other side of the world. But your content helped keep me smiling. I owe you a lot for that. You could start a channel about watching paint dry and I would subscribe 🤣. Point is, keep doing you, and continue doing it well. I'm here for it!

[@grahtman8947]

Honestly, John, right now I'm going through a divorce and your videos with Mikey are what are keeping me going. You're one of the only channels I look every day to see if there is a new video even if I have the bell ringing to notify me. I genuinely feel like I've gotten to know you guys and I can't thank you enough. I honestly don't have many suggestions for what I would like from you. But whatever you do, you can bet your ass I'll be watching.

[@TheSuperHumanHimself]

Oof sorry dude

[@grahtman8947]

@@TheSuperHumanHimself It's all good, man. Marriage is hard, and things are just difficult now. But like I said, Mikey and John help keep my chin up and give me something to look forward to! These guys are amazing.

[@gonzalezfamily6602]

I personally love that you're trying to expand in a completely new way. You've impacted my life positively and made me feel great for around 2 years, so I hope you making this channel can help you feel the same. Maybe this channel can be extra material that you think doesn't fit in your other channels. Something you want to do. Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 ❤️

[@PragMagik]

Ayo, another Survivor stan? I thought I was the only one in the community. Best of luck on the new channel!

[@crunchyfootfungus3909]

Hey its you! Love your videos man It's also hard to be the only one in a very popular community Just saying

[@malkierlives6991]

John, I just realized that I’ve been watching your content for five years, at least since the Black & White Metronome Let’s Play series you did with Mikey, but probably longer. Your content has steadily improved over that time, and whatever you want to do with this new channel, I’m sure it will be great, and I’m here for it. Thanks for always giving me a reason to smile. Whether it’s casually catching shinies much to Mikey’s consternation or screaming at how stupid your Ferroseed is, it’s because of your personality and humor that I’m still here years later.

[@dinosaurtimeandfunnyvideos]

The metronome nuzlocke was almost 5 years ago? Fck I'm old.

[@GoundG]

I get it, having the main channel with a specific feel and then having a second channel to balance your mental state without feeling like you are imposing on anyone You are giving yourself and other people a safe space, i respect that and think it's a good idea for both yourself and your channel

[@8bitdino]

this is the first time ive commented on a youtube video in YEARS im astonished at how much i relate to your past. my parents just got divorced, i moved across the country away from all my firends i broke up with my partner a year ago, and i was no longer doing theatre or cheer i find comfort in making youtube videos. pokemon and minecraft. my goal has always been "if i can make one person feel like they belong, if i can make one person laugh, then ive done my job" i feel alone. i feel so alone, all i want is people to find comfort in my content. to help people like me. im still young, i had to grow up fast, but im still only 19. youtube, more specifically the people on it helped me through my darkest moments and the people i saw myself in on youtube helped me feel a little less alone. this video has been so cathartic for me, i am in tears. i feel heard, i feel seen, i feel understood thank you john

[@greenjacket4277]

Thanks for being real with us, John. To be honest, I've always loved the wholesome vibes you give out and I hope this channel will be a good outlet for you.

[@skrawvgc]

This is an inspiration. I am excited to see where this channel goes :) Watching your stuff is one of the biggest ways I study to make my channel better. I support any direction you want to move in :)

[@peppersaltsman6044]

I'm so excited for this! I find you wholesome and entertaining and will watch whatever you put out

[@sykora9526]

I would absolutely love to see this type of content from you John. You content has really helped me quite a bit ever since I discovered you a couple months ago and even though I'm only 5 years younger, I feel like I could learn a lot from you, or at least get a different perspective on things. Thank you for your positivity, and through this video and your upcoming ones, thank you for your advice, perspective, and willingness to be vulnerable on camera. I really appreciate it

[@festiveavacado]

No matter the channel, I will always support you! Excited to see what this channel will be

[@SketchpadLad]

Hey man. Thank you for opening up like this. I’m very excited to see what happens going forward, you’ve got great potential for something like this. If anything, I’d love to hear you talk about some of your favorite games! Like Call if Duty or Halo, or whatever else you enjoy. :)

[@wilesnailspower9781]

Been watching your content since the ORAS days, I had been struggling to find work at the time and was both depressed and discouraged but watching your content always made me feel better. Now I’m currently on LOA from work due to an injury and have been binging yours and Mikey’s content to both make myself feel better and as background noise as I work on artwork or while I’m relearning Zbrush. Love your content and excited to see where you take this channel.

[@liquidarchitecture6109]

I really love your videos from the moment I have started watching you, I think it will be great to hear you talk about things you like, your experience in life in career and anything will be great. And thanks for many laughs.

[@garchompinribs]

You along with other KZbinrs like Mikey and Technoblade got me through my parents divorce which was just a month or so before the quarantine started. I thank you so much for all of this and I think it’s good that you make a less exaggerated channel for people to see the real you.

[@theshamonk668]

Your doing great! We are here for you whatever you want to do. Also I just realized John is the heart of the 5 man band.

[@Regrettedink39]

[@osiruz626]

Gotta say was having a bad day and this helped. Helped clear my head and got me thinking of allot of things , hearing the everyday struggles or just someone voicing their emotion helps allot. Thanks John think this going to be a good one.

[@terrificloyaldust]

Your experiences with being isolated remind me of my isolation I felt when I was around the same age. I would have liked a channel like this when I was that age. I appreciate you making this channel and will support it all the way.

[@raylmaooo]

we love you john, and we’re happy for you on this decision - its really sweet and kind of you to push yourself to help others not go through what you went through which is rather beautiful, i never knew about the divorce - or even much about your childhood; but now that i know, i sympathise with you due to restoring to self - isolation in times of anxiety, where i also saw comfort it watching KZbin, specifically, you, michael, and more recently, alot of jack, you all genuinely manage to make my day every time yall post, michael being the sophisticated one, who’s very entertaining, you being the beacon of positivity, and jack being the element of chaos. i love you guys, and while i may be insignificant, but yeah, thank you for everything. ❤

[@Soltice100]

John I’m glad your spreading out and your doing what you deep down really want to do for us. I’m here til the end I love these kinds of channels. But to answer, just talk about relatable things and stories from the good old days

[@A_person410]

Your videos are always entertaining no matter what! Don’t worry about what to post, your real fans will watch and enjoy anything you post!

[@TheVioletValiant4]

first of all thank you for sharing. its extremely important to find and chase after the things that bring you joy and if this is part of it, never doubt it for a second. you're right, you've put a smile on my face many many times since i found your content and made bad days a little better. if you see this, know that it mattered and it will continue on mattering as long as your heart is in it. as for this channel, it'll be whatever you want it to be. for me, personally, im all for it. i usually i love to play games or work or just chill with something i like playing in the background so this is a win for me already. but in all seriousness, you could talk about anything and everything. take some time to think about how you'd like to structure that. i feel like you have a lot you wanna say beyond you know your opinion on pokemon or how many shinies you've caught so let that voice of yours be heard. think about what teen you would like to hear. talk about stuff YOU feel is IMPORTANT and listen to feedback, but make sure you dont lose sight of why you made this in the first place. if you feel like talking about how much you love dogs or whatever, thats okay and if you wanna discuss more serious topics thats okay too! the community will engage and help you through it, i'm sure. will keep on followng your journey in the meanwhile ❤️

[@Mango-zx9ks]

Your content has helped me alot when I've felt very down, this video definitely made me appreciate you even more than I already did I've been through almost all of the struggles you went through and still continue to. In my opinion I love your content because of how interesting you are so I'll watch no matter what you put out on this channel

[@leelaughs]

I'm excited to see new things from you too! I'm so proud of your growth and success!

[@simpleseranade710]

you’re one of the people who helped me get through quarantine- your videos honestly helped me keep some sort of routine while doing nothing except sitting around all day. i started watching then, and i still watch today, because your content never fails to bring a smile to my face, and i’m so so thankful for that. you’re freaking awesome, dude, never forget it

[@gunnergarcia1863]

I discovered your videos through MandJTV. You have amazing videos, and they bring a lot of positivity in my life right now. So, with you making this channel, I pray it turns out well. All prayers with you, John. Thank you for all you have done, and hopefully this channel does well.

I can't wait to see how this channel grows and all the people you'll be able to impact in this way ❤️

[@nekksi7979]

I'm around the same age as you and I think had pretty similar experiences getting into KZbin based on your description. I remember all the old channels I used to watch that were basically just stream of consciousness commentaries over a video of CoD so this was super nostalgic! The things that stuck in my head from those days were the stories of mundane experiences leaving lasting impressions on people (so much so that they talked about it on the internet). Kinda vague as a suggestion but that's all I got!

[@travisangerman7172]

I love this idea! We’re around the same age, and I really resonate with a lot of what you mentioned. Sounds like we got into KZbin around the same time, watched similar styles of videos. While I don’t use KZbin to escape as much as I used to any more, the days I do need that kind of boost, you have been a common choice for me. I especially love the videos of yours where you get more real (in particular I’m thinking of the end of your stream/video of donating money to the Trevor Project; I caught that stream live, and have gone back to it or your video at least once a month since). I think past me would have really benefited from something like this, and I’m really happy it’ll be here for all the people who need it. I can’t wait to see what you post next.

[@intoontown]

I think this is so great. I love this kind of content, and hearing how personal it is to John was heartwarming. I think any kind of stories from life (that would be comfortable to share) whether recent or old, happy or sad, as well as talk about any video game and other hobby interest, movies and music and other media, and maybe behind the scenes PM7 stories would be cool. And maybe most of all, tell us stories about Ginger! I can't wait for whatever content comes, though. Truly!

[@elizabethb3026]

I started watching you not for the pokemon but for you. I'm a newish viewer and I don't remember what the first video I saw was. But I know I stayed because something about you made me think, this is a genuinely nice person I would get along with. Hearing you talk about less happy things in this video hits home and just makes me love you more. I'm a 30something mom struggling with anxiety, depression, and severe burnout. Life is not always great but it is life. Honesty and candidness helps other people not feel alone. You make me not feel alone. Thank you John. Good luck with this and I am excited to hear more. Thank you.

As someone who’s been stressing constantly over this year (many life choices ahead that I’m too stressed about making), I’ve been struggling to find outlets. My stress has caused a lot of bottling, and there’s not much to help me see with a fresh pair of eyes. Hearing about this channel as a commentary channel that “a young John would need”, I feel like it might be something I need too. Your channels have always brought smiles to my face, and I’m glad that it may also help me with what my struggles may be in life.

[@zen5015]

Honestly, I always saw your videos just about the same way you explained seeing those old Call of Duty Commentary videos: A safe space where after a long day, I can just turn one on and tune out the whole world, forget my loneliness...I'll be honest, I'm going through something super similar to what you explained. I used to live no more than a 15 minute long walk away from my friends, now I live on the other side of town, and I need to take a 2 hour bus ride to just see them. But any time I feel lonely, I just turn on one of your videos and it makes me smile. You are amazing, and I hope you stay amazing man!💜💜

Being a beacon of positivity and aiming to make people's days better - whether it is making a good day great or making a bad day a bit brighter - is such an admirable quality to have and to display in your work, John. I have always had a vision of being a streamer or at least a content creator and though I don't know if I'll ever be able to accomplish that, I know that I would want to do exactly that, enjoying the company of others and making people happy. Its something that I have gleaned, not just from you, but the people you have worked with and many others that I enjoy watching. Keep doing what you do best, whether it is on PM7 or here. Keep being the beacon that people need.

John, as someone who is going through a similar situation to you, sophomore, parents recently divorced, and moved away from friends, I can say, at least for me, you have helped me get through it, like those COD channels appear to have done for you. The fact that you are going out of your way to help people, like how you were helped when you needed it, is incredibly admirable, especially in a platform becoming more and more chaotic and toxic. I always know, if I’m having a bad day, you, or the JMC can always cheer me up. Thank you John, and good luck🎉

Your goal of videos are always reached, for me at least. Every time I watch one of your videos I begin to laugh, whether your actually being funny or not 😂.

[@haaaayaaah9022]

If you talk about literally anything it would be entertaining. You have such a unique ability to be so fun to listen to, and seeing the more serious, “real” side of you is really relaxing. Anything you talked about would help anybody because of how true of a person you are. Keep being an incredible person, because it has definitely helped me and many others be that little bit happier and then some.

[@MsPandacakes]

I found your videos when I first started maternity leave after having my baby last year. I had to resign from my work to be a stay at home mom, I was sleep deprived, going through post partum depression and trying to figure out to transition my new life as a mom and actually survive it.. KZbin played an important part in helping me take a few moments to breathe and try to spend my free time watching things I enjoyed. Your videos (along with Mikey, Jack and a few others overtime) really helped me feel better during a time I felt kinda lost and scared. You guys have the same type of humor as I do, so your videos always helped bring a smile back to my face. But you know what makes me even happier as a viewer... is when content creators like you be themselves. Be vulnerable, be honest; don't try to put on a happy face just for the sake of others; it's not healthy. I would know; I do the same thing. The people who truely like you for you won't care if you aren't happy all the time or feel like venting, or talking about your hobbies and interests; they're here for you. Because they like who you are. If people start complaining, then those people aren't here for you and will soon go away on their own and find someone else to bother. Never be afraid to just be yourself and don't put your own happiness ahead of other peoples happiness. If you make others happy, thats just a bonus. And I know, it feels amazing. But we want you to be sincere, and just be yourself. So I cant wait to see what this channel is gonna do. There are so many possibilities.

That story of your high school difficulties really resonated with me. I may have gone through different things, but high school was rough for me too, and funnily enough, I found solace in KZbin as well, including those popular CoD videos where people just talked. It was somehow both nostalgic and refreshing to see that format. I'm sure younger me would've loved this channel.

It’s hard making friends but you and Mikey get me through the days. I will always be thankful I found your channel.

let’s go john! following a dream while also doing some inner child work is a great thing to work for. can’t wait to watch what you choose to share ❤️

[@dorians2a]

We all know that you are an incredible person. The fact that you just want your channel to be a positivity help is so cool and can help so manu people. Just thanks you for your job.

DIO!

People like John, who can just generally make thousands, millions even smile are just a blessing to the world. I go to Mikey when I’m bored, I go to Jack when I’m up for dirty jokes, and I go to John for laughs and just to feel better! I feel like a podcast would be perfect for you John, and you could talk with guests and answer questions for us (as another person said). Things like -How do I be supportive to my friends? - How can I be a beacon positivity to the people around me? Also just hearing stories about your life would be interesting and something I would look forward to every day! Thank you for the smiles and laughs, and here’s to another channel! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing. The tone of your voice really made me feel that you actually care 💜 I would love to know more about how you balanced family expectations of an acceptable career vs what you knew you wanted to do

[@nugget8692]

advice for people going through a tough time would be great. i’m going through a rough time at the moment and people could really benefit from like that

Hey, you earned an instant subscription from me. These are a type of video I love. You and your community have been very open and accepting, and it's comforting for me to watch your videos. I do find my days better when I see your videos. They bring joy. Whatever you decide to talk about, I'm here to listen. Thank you for making this channel and for all the videos you make.

[@bradenwampler6288]

I would love to hear you talk about how you approach over coming difficulties. I struggle with burn out a lot so if that impacts you I’d love to hear you talk on it. Much love!

[@noextrevious6887]

I'm glad you made this video, listening to your story reminded me of myself having gone (still going) through the same thing. I'll be 24 near the end of the year and I wish I had started doing KZbin videos long ago, I still feel like it's too late but I want to try. To be able to entertain others and make their day would be the best thing and being able to work from home and travel at the same time would be the dream. I'm going to do it and I'm going to think about your inspiration and the effort you've put in for us all these years. I/we really appreciate it.

You always put a smile on my face with your videos, John. Whenever I've had a bad day, I always go on to your channel and see if you have posted. My favourite moment was when we found a shiny at roughly the same time, when you found that shiny bisharp this JM cup, I found a shiny cetoddle a few seconds after. I am going through some rough things, too (getting bullied, bad mental health, I can't cope with PE because my leg isn't great, my dad's side of the family doesn't support my community, etc.), And when I watch the first minute of one of your videos, all of that just floats out of my mind. All these small things that you're doing has a positive impact on people like your younger self. Thank you! ☺

[@kyepringle859]

Man, the amount of love and respect I have for you for being open and doing this, is amazing. I love your usual content, but I really really hope you can do what you’ve clearly wanted to for awhile, and I will be around to see whatever you do with it. Big respect man, you definitely make my life better, and I hope this Chanel can become what you want it too.

[@ShoriSong]

I had a rough few years ever since the pandemic and your content always makes my day, even if it was the worst day ever. You sparked an old love I had for Pokemon and now it's one of my favorite things again. I think this channel is super refreshing and I can see it do very well! I think it's fun to just have general day to day chats while playing games, be it Pokemon, COD whatever!

[@TaeKwonChick]

I randomly saw one episode of the John Michael Cup Season 1 one day and I have been hooked on both of your channels ever since, and I found you both and your interactions to be hilarious while being lighthearted and wholesome. You're never going to please all of the people all of the time but as long as you're happy doing what you want keep on just being you, there's nothing better you could be doing!

[@sidifan4]

I found you thru Mikey and now I watch your videos every time you upload and I've went back and watched most of your older ones. Love the idea for the new channel. You got this!!!

[@SP2K197]

we love ya John! your such a genuine and amazing person! and we will always be here to support you!!! 🥰 I am personally excited to have another channel; to sub to, whether its more content or the same amount just shared between the 2! Im happy you're doing what you feel is you (Im bad at wording things so sorry if it doesn't make sense)

[@AliveChannel191]

even when having a deep and genuine conversation with his family still finds shinies. but also I greatly appreciate this John my living situation is rough to say the least and coming to your channel helps me deal with everything so much easier so whatever content comes out on this channel im here for it thank you

[@ItsYaBoiPulsar]

Hey john i'm pretty excited about this channel it would be nice seeing you just talk and connect with your audience i would love to see you talk about stress and how you can manage it. 😊

[@ZainZebun]

Use it for more of whats on your mind, whatever grinds your gears or something that inspires you. You're such a positive and kind guy. You've helped me so much throughout the years. That John Guy?... Preetttty gooood!

[@BlackHikariAngel]

John whenever i have a bad day Mikey and your videos helped me get though those times. Your videos keep me laughing constantly especially when i deal with my depression, anxiety and stress. I love your videos with Mikey and Jack, your synergy with the both of them are 100% friendship goals. Keep doing what your doing but never ever forget to put yourself first thats all i hope for you!
