I'm very proud of you for making this video Jay. It's never easy to speak from your heart knowing there are so many negative people out there waiting to capitalize on any vulnerability. You and I agree 100% on everything you said in this video and it resonated with me heavily. You made me realize that when I watch content from now on I need to leave a comment, I need to hit that like button, I need to let the person know I'm there for them and enjoy what they do even if they may never see it because in the end other people will see it and it will become infectious and change the entire mood of the comments section. This transcends RUclips and applies across all social media. Imagine if every single person that enjoyed watching our content always left a comment, even something simple as 'Great video' or 'I really liked xxx' how much it would change our outlook and motivate us to keep doing better? Every single person makes a difference when they are share some positivity. Thank you again for making this video!
Hey Barnacules, I watched your guy's recent tech talk, and after that I had to watch this video. I'm glad to say, I wasn't disappointed, and I feel the same way. Like you said during the tech talk, most of the time I just watch the video and move on, but I think I will make more of an effort to leave a like and a comment. Thanks for all the great content on both of your channels, it's really fun watching the videos you make. You guys are both really awesome!
im not writing an essay so i really dont care and "faggot" what are you 12 it doesnt really matter and the point is that it has nothing to do with christian values its the point that he is wanting the silent majority to speek up about people like you who often criticize him or even any other youtuber. you dont have to watch his stuff so why does any of what he has to say matter to you . last of all im not an athiest i believe in a higher power im actually baptist so next time you make a stupid assumption like that just keep it to your self.
That you even dare to type this here makes me sick. Do you have any idea how much work goes into making the High Quality content he provides? Honestly i do not think you have any idea. I myself make "content" [nowhere near as good] and it takes a lot of time, effort, retrying, etc. Before you get a finished product! My Golden Tip: Try doing the things content creators do here on RUclips [Not only Jay] And come back, Possibly broken and tired! - TheGamer3399 Not underestimating the truth Since 2012! ^ | I place this because I've been on RUclips since 2012 with this account. Just letting y'all know. Just a catchphrase i use according to what i post [Most of my comments have this]. No bragging intended!
Jay, I am a lazy youtube consumer and I never leave comments on videos, but your message came out strong and you have my support all the way! You deserve my comment and you deserve a GTR. And one more thing, on the scale of things, your true fans will always outweigh the haters. Haters have nothing better to do, they bitch because they have no friends, no life, and regret everything.
why? cluster B personalities don't get over their idiocy even with professional help and they usually drag you down and make you look just like them only with a more noble soap box.
Thank you for making this video. Just thank you. I've had jay respond pretty much this in one of my comments. I made a comment on the anti-aliasing video. It was nothing more than a comment of my surprise and how past anti-aliasing techniques were a big performance hit. The first 50+ comments were insulting me for my gender and demanding I announce myself as a fake. Jay came in and said pretty much "why does it matter, I don't care about gender, it was never mentioned in the comment, and it was a relevant and thoughtful comment so whats the problem". I mean it was written a lot better than that, completely made my day and in my mind invalidated all the hate I got from my response. I love jay's videos but unfortunately the responses I get are some of the most cancerous of any channel. I honestly even prefer replying to leafyishere than jay's videos for that sole reason. I don't know why its the case but it is. The top comment is someone calling jay a hypocrite for making this video. My experience with him shows the opposite, he genuinely doesn't like the gang attack mentality on here and has put himself out there trying to stop it. It was one of my least favourite comments but jay's reply completely flipped that around, I still look back at it to read jay's reply when I need cheering up. Over a month later they are still at it with responses describing how fucked up I must be, complaining that I've given up responding to them because I'm "avoiding questions" etc. Sure some of the replies were great, informative, positive and just great replies but well over 90% of the replies there were horrible. Now I'll leave jay's response at the bottom of this comment for anyone who is interested in reading it. The rest will be a message to jay on the off chance he ever reads this. So I came here after leaving linus' channel looking for somewhere with less bias. After the first video I immediately knew you don't put any paid spin on your reviews and that is the main reason I stay. I absolutely adore your sense of humour, I love how direct you are, and really your personality is exactly what I want in videos but that is all secondary to your honesty and the fact that it is so clear you don't put a spin on your videos. Now I joined about a year ago, I never saw your overweight days. I know its something you're going to worry about for the rest of your life but believe me nobody can see it at all. Even showing off your arms in the video I couldn't see what you were worried about and honestly I thought that you were someone who was in the mega-sport gym group in the past rather than the opposite. Anyone making negative comments about your weight is only doing so because you weren't too embarrassed to show your past and they saw it as a vulnerability to hurt you. I really wish you were getting paid more. I really don't like to see how much others are getting whilst being honest and following your morals is losing you so much money. I've disabled ad-block on your videos, I've started using your amazon link, and I wish I could do more because you completely deserve more. The silent majority can see that you you turn down financial incentives to lie and I guess just look at how your sub count is blowing up to see that. I wish I could comment more, I really do. I can't think of a single video my comments would be anything but positive towards the video. People tend to comment when they want to complain, when they're happy they will just go and click another video so I'd say the real indicator is looking at your weekly/monthly view count to see how happy people are. Look at the like to dislike ratio of this video, that shows you the proportion of the silent happy majority to the haters. Now I know this is a long post, I don't expect you to read this far, but if you do just thank you for making that comment supporting me. You're a youtuber I highly look up to and respect, you coming out to support my comment still cheers me up and helps me brush off the constant hate of youtube to this day. I know you're busy and it meant a huge deal to me that you took the time out to reply. Every indicator I can think of shows you're doing the right thing with your channel and please remember that the next time someone complains that you're being fake, a terrible person, or whatever else hate these people give. Anyway the response jay sent: I dont really care if you are really a girl or a guy, the bottom line is you made a very well thought out response to this video and made some very valid points. The issue here was your comment was clearly too intellectual for the average internet patron to comprehend.
+Olivia Lambert the wall of text grabbed my attention as I scrolled through and yes I read it all. Thank you for the support. You want to know why I stood up for you well I'll tell you. My daughter is 7.5yrs old and she too is a gamer. She is in to all the things that usually only boys are in to... computers, games, cars, and even TaeKwonDo and is now sparring with boys much higher belts than her. I already see it at her age where boys don't take her serious because she's a girl. Well not long ago while sparring against a junior black belt boy 4 years older than her, she round house kicked him in ass as he turned so hard that he cried.... she was only an orange belt. Needless to say he got mad and wanted to really fight her and the master had to step in. She looked him right in the face and said "there's more where that came from boy" and made the come at me bro arm gesture. My point here is i can already see as a father of 2 girls that they are going to have an uphill battle against them and it isn't right. Your comment about the AA video triggered me because I still can't believe we live in a world where race and gender matters so much. I hate to see intelligent people silence by the idiots of this world which was the point of his video. There is no hypocrisy in this video and you're right the interactions prove that. People wanting to call me out don't deserve my time anymore. And I don't bother blocking them because I want their incredible arrogance to be a shining example of what is wrong with this world and the top comment proves that. Any way if you ever want to game, email me. You know where to find me :)
Olivia Lambert you are exactly right. I love it when you can have a proper conversation with people and not some random person suddenly shout out abuse for no reason at all.
HI Jay, I know this is an old video, I just wanted to say, I love your videos, Love the content, I think your a straight up honest and funny person. please keep doing what your doing, Ive learnt so so muc from you and appreciate every video you make. peace and prosperity to you and your family.
I was at 298.9 lbs, I hated myself and wouldn't have been able to handle hitting 300, your weight loss inspired me to start working out, I'm down 40lbs in 4 months and still going strong. You have a positive influence in the tech world, keep it up
Brandon St. Jules I feel you man as well as with Jay. when I graduated college and ended my football career as an Offensive lineman at 325 lbs, I then told myself did not want to be a stereotype of a Lineman and dropped to a fit 275
Even if you dont read the comments dude - I hear ya - Ive just had to learn to take the negativity people throw in a totally different way. Some days I reply with humor, some days people see arrogance. Its never easy. But from one RUclipsr to another - stand strong brother - FYI I hardly ever watch other tech vids much less comment because I dont want to be seen to be 'advertising myself' I hope in this one instance it doesnt offend (anyone)
OC3D TV i'm not a RUclipsr but still i have a lot of haters and i decided to follow a simple rule: i don't give a shit to all the people claiming to be better, telling me what i should do. If you are really better, why don't you show me how to improve? Make a video, prove me that i have something to learn from you If you can't prove it then fuck off, get back to your miserable life and i will get back to making money with my crap
Dusk Wolf he seriously has gone through a lot and with his attitude u can never tell that he did face all of these problems, and still stay so positive
11:04 "I only did this channel to prove to Josh that this would never work. And it did." I just couldn't love Jayz more. I discovered your channel only 3 weeks ago and hell, I just can't stop watching. I strongly appreciate such a video/rant/vent. One does not simply question this man's authenticity and dignity. You are one of those who can make your community feel close to you. And I suppose an awesome father too. Of course this is almost one year old now but hey, you deserve your channel's success. Best regards from France.
Here in Brazil is not different. a few months ago one manufacturer offered me U$ 10.000 to delete two videos on my channel. Stay strong Jay. (I do not believe that you remember, but we met at the launch of the GTX 1080 in Texas).
I'm one of the guys with a EVGA 1070 FTW and I'll tell you Jay, your video on the problem and showing how to install the thermal pads was awesome and needed! Also, I'm one of the quiet one's but I'll start showing you that I appreciate your content 👍🏼
You have been an amazing inspiration for me. As an IT person, you have pushed me to do things I never thought I could. Your content is amazing, THANK YOU for all your hard work! Do not let yourself be pulled in a different direction by the complainers.. I have enjoyed all you videos and some of your TechTalk. Do not stop, I understand and appreciate your sincerity. THANK YOU !!!
Damn Jay, pretty deep video. Really exposed yourself and left it all on the table for both the haters and the lovers of your channel. I have mad respect for what you do and internet trolls will always be there to try and tear you down. It is unfortunate that the haters stand out the most but straight up, fuck them. The internet is a funny place...where even the best of people feel they can pass judgment on a perfect stranger because they are poking fun from the comfort of there home and hiding behind a user name. I can say without a doubt that most of the people leaving the negative comments and rude posts are people struggling with their own demons and life struggles and think its okay to dump their frustration and insecurities on you. Keep up the good work Jay and thank for your hard work and dedication to your viewers.
If I don't like someone's content , I just won't watch. I've never felt the need to post something nasty. Some people are just miserable. And feel the need to project. I honestly feel bad for them.
this video really hit home for me. there is so much crap guys and girls like Jay take all that time that we really don't see. He works really hard to do what he does and majority of us take it for granite and the other group of people just hate on him for what he does. its truly really sad when you think about it.
I'm trying to lose 20 pounds in 1 month, I'm currently Two-Hundred and Thirty Five pounds at age 16 and Five feet Five inches. You're an inspiration for me with both with motivating me to lose weight and gain self confidence, and for me to get my feet wet into Computer technology when I was 13, and now looking for a possible career in this field. Keep doing what you do Jay, I can't wait to see this channel hit One Million subscribers. You're more than just a Tech RUclipsr, you're a pioneer in this category. You shouldn't listen to peoples opinions, 99% of the time, they are judgmental pricks. Stay Positive Dude! You're the Best!
I dropped 20 pounds over the summer just by not drinking soda and heavily cutting back on my sugar intake. Started regular exercise back again and I'm slowly loosing the weight. Started at 215, at 185-ish. Keep going m8
Yeah, I've dropped all Sugars and Bread... One of the hardest things I've ever done, especially with Thanksgiving, Halloween and the Winter festivities and all of the food that's come with it.
It's 2019 and I just saw this video as I only recently subbed. I gotta say, I'd be willing to bet that over 90% of the people that view your videos really like what you do and don't leave comments--I never did. I've also never liked videos in the past. I don't use AdBlocker though because I know that's how you guys get paid! Anyway, so that the silent majority isn't as silent, 2.5 years later, I'm here commenting on how awesome your channel is! I got to your channel knowing a fair amount about PC hardware, but I've learned a lot about watercooling from you. Keep on keepin on man! The trolls will always be there--they have low self-esteem and need a way to make themselves feel better. Dealing with their pathetic life is too much so they take it out on someone online because they don't have the stones to do it in real life. Anywho, I'm very late to the party, but I hope this just adds a little more to the positivity!
I usually don't comment (usually just click the like button) but I see you need it, you're one of the best content creators out there cause I know you work your ass off and you still fight for us consumers for free, that EVGA video I didn't even realize that behavior till this video. You showed us how to fix a problem that could cause someone to lose a GTX 1080/70/60 and you gave your opinion about the company attitude... I bet if they fucked us you would call it out. Anyway as you mentioned the majority is with you, even though we don't speak as loud as haters. (Sorry for my bad english, non native speaker here)
It's always sad to see your favorite RUclipsrs make one of these videos because sometimes you can forget that you are watching real people making the videos. Then you watch it and it hits you that they are just human like you and even though you might not be one of the assholes in the comment section, you do really feel for them. Hope you come through Jay! And hope all the negativity stops! I personally love your channel and your added humour to everything is great but I guess some people are like the Joker and just want to see the world burn... I'll be sure to leave more comments in the future :) (Also; I do try to leave a like on all your videos I watch :)
Unfortunately, all the negativity will never leave youtube. It sucks to know that. People hate themselves so much they jump all over the chance to be able to anonymously make a jackass of themselves to all these channels like Jayz
Thanks very much for this Jay. I know it's an old video but it resonated. I started my channel to force myself out of my comfort zone to deal with my anxiety. I honestly never even considered the comments on RUclips, and honestly I very rarely get negative comments, but when I do it's usually something to do with me having nice things, etc. People don't see the countless hours you spend in the background and the sacrifises you make to put content out there to help people. I get the same attitude when I talk about a product or run a giveaway. If I do a review, it's on my terms and they know that. if I don't like the product I'll tear it to shreds. You're genuinely passionate about what you do and it shows. it's the reason I started watching your videos and will continue to do so. Keep doing what you're doing, and WELL DONE with the drastic change in your health and lifestyle! that takes serious balls!
Hey Jay, Chronic lurker here... I almost never post on videos but just wanted to let you know that your videos mean a lot to me. Thank you for teaching me a lot about watercooling, hardware, peripherals, overclocking, and countless other things. Keep doing what you do and I will continue to follow you :)
I am the same. Don't take the trolls to heart. Your channel is awesome everyone has a struggle and fortunately you winning your struggle. Keep up the hard work and effort and only keep doing it if your enjoying it.
Jay, no one is stopping u from putting ads on your videos. U spend yourself too much for us, and you, like you said, could be living higher, but there will still be haters no matter what.
Marek Chociej Indeed, this man could talk about fans or thermal past for all I care and I would still watch them. Love his editing, and his humor makes any subject fun to watch.
If he's talking about the short pre roll spots in linus and hardwarecanucks videos I'm absolutely in favor seeing those, if it mean he gets to drive a freakin GTR. Most of the time the products are completely relevant, and the ad is done by them, so I don't even mind it.
Jay, I just want to say thank you. I first found out about your channel with the "How to connect rooms without Ethernet cable" video, because that's what i was trying to do with my home and you video was the only one that interested me. And because of that i decided to check out the channel from day one. I loved your commentary and honesty when it came to reviews and tutorials and how much fun you put into the videos. Then i get to this one, and it touched me. (in a good way) I know about bullies and the mental abuse. I'm 41 now and finally woke up to the realization I do not have to put up with that crap. I wish i could say that i was younger with realizing it, but sometimes that doesn't happen. I'm glad you stuck with it and came this far with so much more coming. I can tell you are not a sell out and that is why I'm sticking around for the long haul. Kudos.
if you're on spotify, swap it for google play music subscription. comes with YT Red (so no ads but content creators still make money from your views as if there were), and more money from your subscription goes to artists
I'm not a tech guy I don't won a PC I play console games. I've been a sub here for 2 years because I like your personality Jay. I didn't know you weighed almost 500 LBS and you've lost 270 that's amazing dude! I'm not saying nice things because of this video I'm not a hater I only watch who I enjoy, and you are the shit dude!
***** He is awesome! I don't know anything about PC, but I've learned quite a bit from his videos. Have been thinking about building one because of him. I love his channel really good guy.
***** See if don't know own what any of that means. That's not to bad if a price though. How much do you think it'll cost to build a good gaming PC? I don't need the top of the line graphics or anything like that. Just one that'll run like BF1 and Gears 4 smooth with a good frame rate if you know that'll be awesome.
***** I will definitely look there thanks, also yeah that's me too console player pop in the disc and play. I've never even played a PC that's why I'm kinda wanting to build one. Just for a couple games mainly.
I'm finally impressed with RUclips commenters. I scrolled 5 pages of comments scanning for something negative, I just wanted to see if anyone would have a bad reaction to this - who the silent 2,000 are who clicked dislike on this video and what such a person would say. I'm happy to see the other 30 THOUSAND of us shouted FAR LOUDER. Subbed long ago, liked and commented long ago and will continue to do so!
I completely agree - I think the other phenomenon is the anonymity that something like a car or keyboard/mouse gives us. People do things in cars like cut people off, etc. that they would *never* do say in line at a store. In the same way when you put a keyboard/screen in between two people it's not only very hard to read someone's ton, sometimes impossible, but it creates an environment where people say things that again they would never say to someone in person. One of the sad side effects or our modern age.
I came across your channel today while looking for tutorials on how to build your own computer. I have to say that your channel is great and that I'm learning alot of stuff that will make a difference in the choice of equipment that I do. Thank you for your dedication and for posting these videos so people like me can have reference points when it comes to hardware. I also want to thank you for your complete honestly and unfiltered opinions. It really helps alot to know that you have no bias when it comes to be objective. Thank you, again, for your hard work in this channel.
Louise Appleyard The sad thing is that they don't care just like most of the people that are in prison not caring about what they did to get themselves in there.
I know Jay probably won't read this, like he said, but I feel like I should come forward and show some support here. I love this channel, I love the techy content, the dorky humor, the transition squeaky voice, all of it. RUclipsrs who are this dedicated to making sure we the consumers are informed, we the builders know what to do, they're the real heroes. I respect the work that Jay and his affiliates do, because I couldn't do it. Keep killing it Jay.
You're definitely one of my favorite tech RUclips channels/content creators and one of my favorite channels in general. I can't imagine how hard it must be to put yourself out there, put your time, effort, and passion into this channel and then be faced with such overwhelming negativity. The fact that you're able to rise above the negativity and still create amazing content just reaffirms that your channel is one of my favorites. Thank you for all of the content you put out there!
Here's my thought for the day: haters feel like you should be hated because you achieved something they won't be able to. I personally feel that you're a cool dude, and I dislike the idea of you being slightly nVidia biased, but that's another story. Fans feel that nothing good needs to be said because everything that needed to be said already is. While haters need to re-assure themselves, lie to themselves that they're right. If you read this, goodie, if not, too bad. But know that there's more people that like your vids than the opposite.
***** Well, I was referring to the slight nVidia bias (a very slight tho, but everyone has preferences, and everyone has the rights to have 'em) so he ain't perfect but who is.
Honestly, I can see why. AMD is one of those companies that many of us keep want to see doing sething amazing again, but they keep letting us down. They've got an uphill battle to beat nVidia's numbers, but when they start consistently beating their numbers in the tech they'll start seeing their numbers take an upward turn in the sales as they win many of us back. For now though I'm not going to hinder a build because of personal politics.
It may be months after the fact, but I had your channel's library on a random playlist for background noise. I'm not sure where your head is today as far as all your talked about in this video, but the biggest reason I enjoy your channel and content is that you don't fluff people and blow smoke up their asses. There's a very genuine nature to you, and your approach to this channel makes you one of the more easily relatable people I've come across on RUclips. I listen to how you talk about and share your thoughts about things, and especially here. I'm a veteran that struggles with dissociative anxiety, depression, and PTSD. From the way you do little things for others to the enjoyment and enthusiasm you have for sharing your hobbies, despite the fact of your anxiety about being in front of the camera, finding your channel has helped to give me motivation to work towards what I want to do and open my own shop. I think the greatest compliment a person can be given is that they inspire others to lead a better life. You have done that for me. So fuck all the people that give you shit for doing what you love and making the best of your life. Pay no mind to the people that want to drag you down. Keep strong and keep pushing forward. I believe in you and what you do. That in and of itself makes it meaningful, it's appreciated, and as cheesy and cliche people will probably think this is, you've inspired me to keep working at making a better life for myself. If you can give hope and purpose to even one person, your work is validated on that alone. Thank you.
i dont really comment to often because of the fact that it will get drowned out into white noise over the rest of the crap that gets put up here. I love you're content jay, i dont run AD block, if i dont like the AD i just mute youtube and go about multitasking until its done or skip it. Sure the Norton ad you put up was bad but people gotta pay the bills and to me thats fine, you're doing what you need to do for your family. i think its completely idiotic that most people cant seem to understand that fact, no one wants to be skimming by no one wants to be poor, so why would you put someone down for making smart financial decisions that that person would probably just fuck up and sell out ? instead of them bitching at you because you're making something of your life and their not they just need to get off their ass and do something about it.
See, you were afraid your comment would get lost in the white noise, yet I saw it. Thank you for the support. I try to make smart middle ground decisions regarding financials. So far I think its working. I just wanted people to know that I do in fact take the audience in to account when I make these decisions and how I incorporate them
Keep up the good work. Not for the hope of kind comments, because there's a whole lot more of the bad ones. Do it because you told yourself you'd do it. The most important person in your life is YOU.
Thanks man, it's hard work, but the diet is the hardest part. I have no worries about rude comments here on youtube. While they talk shit, my energy and focus only go towards positive things and bettering myself. They are the ones who should worry for themselves.
Mate, the only guys you should listen to are the ones who've seen your journey, and the ones who have been through what you've been through. I've had my weight balloon up and worked hard to get my phys back to something I can be proud of. Stick to it, the results are always slow but they're worth it.
Wow! I just came to this channel in the last 20 days or so because of Zen2 and have binged watched ever since! I would have never guessed your health history. What I most like about the channel is that you seem like you came from a similar background as me. I thought it was just us being 40-ish and tech oriented. Little did I know there was more in common. I too was bullied, but on the opposite end: I was always the tiniest dude. I weighed 100.5 pounds freshman year of high school. I got beat up and robbed that year, and that was my moment of 'enough is enough'. I too learned to just stop caring about how other people feel about me or better yet, how they feel about me telling them to 'screw off' (in more colorful language, mind you). I'm so glad that you are doing what you're doing and being successful with it. God bless you!
Dude, there are plenty of people who watch your channel that don't comment all the time. I always click like, but a lot of the time I don't have the time to comment on every video I watch. Keep up the good videos, and I will try to comment as much as I can.
Bobby Jones also some platforms are not really conducive to making comments, such as smart tvs, which is what I use to watch RUclips the most. additionally, no matter how many positive comments someone gets the negative ones, no matter how few, will always stand out more. It's sad but true and I really wish Jay wouldn't let the haters get to him, but I know that's easier said than done.
Same here. The only way around it is if viewers spend time to start genuine discussions or leave genuine comments on the content. There is not enough counter balance to compete against the spam and hate, satirical or otherwise.
I watch all his content but just like he said himself, the comment section is a cesspool, so I think the reasonable and intelligent people have learned not to even read them most of the time, let alone comment.
Dude, you lost 1.5 me in your life. Take a solid nap. I'll slap that like button. That before photo blew my mind! I've seen someone who wants to blame a political party to why they didn't have a job. A politician in particular, when we can't hire people. They attacked someone for going to Germany, from the USA, for an education where they couldn't afford it otherwise. They said because they looked at their situation, and said "I can't do it". They honestly looked at the situation, and said I'm so poor I can't stay here. They called the person going on to graduate studies from homelessness someone making "excuses". They bettered themselves, moving 3,000 miles, learning a second language, and were told they made "excuses". The person telling the formerly in poverty college student in Germany lives off of their husband, who has a family job, and does nothing. They do nothing, and blames politicians to why the can't get a job. This while we can't hire someone at my job, but her family refuses to get off their ass. Someone who does nothing attacks someone who does something because they don't like the achiever for taking an honest assessment of a fucked situation. This country, the culture, is insane right now. There is not logic. You achieve, you get torn down for not achieving "how they like". You achieve, they can't, they say you must be on welfare/ sell out. They refuse to make changes in their life, because they blame people, race, gender, politicians, and find media to reinforce anger and hate. My rant is done. I went off too. Do good work. Take care of you. I shared your EVGA video, take advice to heart, and enjoy (enthuse) over these tech products as a hobby that you enriched/ nurtured. Thanks for sharing your passion.
Jay, Take a look in the mirror. Look into the loving eyes of your wife and children, THOSE are the opinions that matter. If some idiots say stupid things, your best revenge will be to let them stew in their bitterness, and thrive despite them. The lifestyle you live, you have EARNED through all the hard work you have put in. You look great, you always devote to building up your audiences knowledge base, even if some of your audience devotes to tearing apart some of your content. Just KNOW that there ARE loyal and devout fans of your channel who appreciate all of the great content and advice you supply. They might not be as outspoken as some of the haters that tend to troll your (And I believe every you tubers) Whenever you are successful, you will have people who are jealous and will try to tear you down, rather than learn from your example and use your success as motivation to strive and build themselves up. Wishing you well, live your life for you and your family first. Keep producing content for your fans that love and appreciate you (We are out here) and please don't pay attention to the haters.
So well-put. I just got in to content creation and streaming myself and what you had to say about being so dedicated and working so hard that the only time you can find for yourself to chill and just play a game for yourself is after your family has gone to bed; really hit close to home for me. Then you still have to get up at the same time and work, and find time for family and feel like you never sleep. You very obviously work extremely hard for what you have in your life. I'm new to your subscribership but I gotta say you're hands down my favorite youtuber. Glad I came across this video on your channel!
Thank you for speaking your mind, Jay. You're right about us, the people that watch your videos but don't like or comment. I'll start to show my support to you, and other content creators by liking and giving positive feedback. I hope that many others do as well. And about the giveaway, it's completely understandable that you don't want to do it anymore. You deserve a good rest from all the negativity.
Same Here i love you´r content and i hope that you don´t give up on your Dream Job , Entertaining us and making videos about Stuff you care , Teaching us what you know or even learn with us what Tech can do or not . Keep up the grate work PLEASE ..
SpicyWaffles Pretty much what I was going to say. Seen most of your videos, never Liked or Commented. Sorry. Ticked both those boxes now though. And yeah put the giveaway on the back burner for a while. Unfortunately some will shout Shill no matter what you do if your opinion differs even slightly from theirs. What I wouldn't give for an internet free from these malignant asshats.
man keep up your grind, i know this is an old post... I grew up broke, still am in a way but i've been doing whatever possible to succeed. 60+ hours a week, school, and life bs. Got bullied as well but i love nothing more than driving around in my tailored suits laughing at everyone who was supposed to be SUCCESSFUL but are working stupid 9-5's or not working at all. NOT many people understand that theirs no excuse for hard work or dedication, keep up the good work.
You have really inspired me to click like and write positive comments with this video Jay. I can tell you, that i am gonna stay after this video. You talked about lack of sleep and what you do every day. I don't want you to suffer physically man. Get your sleep Jay.
well said my friend. we gotta support good ol' Jay here. this video showed me that. it's motivated me to take the time to comment and like more, and not use adblock on RUclips videos xD. but in all seriousness, good video Jay, keep up the good work and don't lose too much sleep. take a week off if need be
I notice that the people that make size comments don't have the balls to do it to your face. I have gone from 670lbs to 365 and people online make nasty comments. I notice that no one makes comments to my face. Cowards and little worms can really wear on a person but just remember that not one of them is worth the sweat off you balls.
You also have to understand that most young people commenting on RUclips have absolutely ZERO idea how the real world and business works yet. It's an increasingly common mentality in the United States that you're a sellout if you have even a moderate level of success (not looking at the pump when you fill your gas tank). Not one shred of thought is given to how hard that person has to work to enjoy even one iota of security. None. "You have something I don't, you're a sellout and I'm a victim." Entire political campaigns have been lost because the silent majority finally said "f*** you" to the rhetoric. People call Linus Sebsatian a sell-out because his channel is successful and he does ads. They ignore the fact that he has a family to provide for AND SEVERAL salaries to pay out so others can also provide for themselves. Dude still drives a beat up Honda to provide for his, and several other peoples' families. Jay, I hope you become a straight-up millionaire. You'd have NOTHING to feel bad about. You bust your ass and earn every single penny. People will always cry "sellout." It just means you're doing things right. Your success will always "trigger" the ignorant. You have it, they want it, but they will always ignore the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into earning it. They hate themselves for lacking the knowledge or dedication to earn what you've earned. So keep kicking ass. You got it.
One other aspect of the nastiness is that the internet makes it very easy to only dip your toe in the water, then withdraw to a safe distance and say nasty things based on a very small amount of data. Combine that with youth and ignorance, yeah. It sucks.
I just started following you recently, and I can relate. Today is the first time I've seen this clip. All I can say is that I am glad you have not walked away from the unbiased opinions of products you view. Cause time frame of this recording and when I started watching, if you walked. I wouldn't have learned. I used to game back on a 768 socket. I just built on 1151 socket. I am and have been out of the loop so long I have to relearn all over again. So again thank you Jay for sticking around, I hope I get to meet you in person some day. Keep the clips going I enjoy them. And congrats on your progress so far... ;) Chris.
Don't let us commenters spoil this channel for you dude. You've worked hard for this, and you deserve the success you've earned, and if the comments under your videos are souring what should be a great achievement for you then you should either not read them or not heed them. The only people whose opinions matter are those you care for. Listen to them bud, don't listen to us. Looking forward to your next video
How can someone improve without feedback? Doesn't matter if there are some who just want to insult, but if someone criticizes his work makes him think what he's doing. Positive Feedback is actually kinda useless unless you're egocentric and want praise all the time. Negative feedback is the one that improves your work.
GuteAlteDMark There are other means of feedback beyond RUclips comments, which I would argue is probably the worst place to get feedback. Besides, there's a difference between negative feedback and personal comments.
GuteAlteDMark People can be different, I'm inclined to agree with you, but just because that's how we react, that doesn't mean that's how everyone reacts.
Jay was not talking about helpful feedback, but about destructive comments. By the way positive feedback is very useful because it builds the person up instead of tearing them down. It lets people know that they are on the right track.
Seriously, I only recently started following Jay a few months ago, I always thought he was super fit(I mean, he is pretty fit now), never knew he had lost so much weight! Way to go, Jay!
Torin Storkey oh for sure, I think that's why I never noticed it, I came for the content, I stayed for the content and his personality, regardless of his physical condition.
This might be 4 years behind the time but what I enjoy about your videos is that you have a lot of "regular guy" about you, and you're intelligent, articulate and knowledgeable. Whatever you earn to me is irrelevant because you don't give off that "let them eat cake" vibe *AT ALL*. Keep do what you're doing just as you're doing it. Thank you. P.S. my ad blocker is off for your channel P.P.S. I also like you because we share an affinity for car crash compilations :-P
It's Jay's fault b/c he's letting the trolls get under his skin. This is like Internet 101, you never let the trolls get under your skin. Jay is a big boy now, maybe he should start behaving like one.
Fuck it, you're right, mate. I always smash that like button, but I rarely comment. So here we go: I love your videos, really. Informative and funny, on point and basically just really interesting. When someone asks me a tech-question, most of the time I summarise the information they need and then send them on to you. Thanks for being Jay, Jay, your TwoCents are worth a "metric shit-ton" of dollars to me.
I've been following him long enough to know that he's not honest. Hell, he lies in this video. He's very obviously been crying, nothing wrong with that but trying to blame red eyes on some late night bullshit is a lie
i dont know why you sure he's not honest. if he'll tell them to fuck off then he's honest about how he feels. he's also honest about his reviews, and so on.
Love the honesty. I know this is an old video, but here is a new comment. Since finding your channel I have been on a huge watching binge. So entertaining, love the passion you have and the dedication to the channel. I work a lot of long hours at work and always feel like there is no time left over for my own goals and projects. I truly enjoy all of your content, new and old. I wish I had kept up with my RUclips channel over the last 4 years, but I just couldn't keep the momentum. Super impressed with what you have here, and the hard work you have put in. Keep up the good work!
Jay, I am part of the silent majority, I've been watching you for about more than a year now. I enjoy your content even more because you show custom water cooling at it's finest. I apologize that I am part of the problem. You are right it does take seconds to hit a like button or a minute to leave a Positive comment. Easier said than done, but don't let the jealous negative individuals weigh you down. In my book, you are a great youtuber.
Thank you for making this video. I am so sorry you have to deal with this. You have inspired me. I too and around the 500 lb mark and wish to loose it. I too have been tortured in school. I love your channel Jay and I hope that you find the creativity again and continue to make great content.
I have massive respect for you Jay and I really enjoy your videos I always drop a like after watching and disabled my adblock on youtube, just to support you and other youtubers I enjoy watching But what you said about the comments, these shitty comment sections are not only ruining it for you, trust me When the "silent majority" looks at the comment section, we just think to ourselves that it's not worth the effort to write a genuine comment, it will drown in all the bullshit anyway
I too completely agree here with Eddy. Massive respect for you, and great enjoyment from the videos. I too believe that my comments would only be drowned in the BS of what is left here in the comment section. However, I believe that people, like what Eddy has done, need to step out from that "silent" group. So here we are, speaking up, hoping you hear us, and feel our support.
Have only been watching for about two months.....and I love all your content because you present it so well. Don't care if you're putting an exhaust on the truck or building your space, testing computer stuff, or pouring your heart out. I like it all. I lost 23 pounds over the last year.....but you......you are the man. Keep up all the great work!
Jay you are an amazing computer enthusiast and keep bringing us quality content to help us. You inspire me to make my own tech channel but I don't have enough money to buy everything but I will get there haha. Keep doing you Jay. I know you said you won't read these comments but I just want you to know that I support you and many people here do too.
PeekASMR hey man you don't have to buy anything just start using your phone as a camera. That's how a lot of RUclipsrs start just get out and do it man
RigPandaTC ! Hey thanks man I have my recording equipment but I more or less meant money to purchase the parts to do proper reviews/benchmarks on. :P Appreciate the kind response though!
Jay you inspire me and keep doing what you do! Sorry for my language for what I'm about to say but FUCK THOSE THAT HAVE NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY, THEY ARE JUST MAD THAT THEY AREN'T DOING AND NEED TO BLOW OF STEAM, FUCK THEM ALL. Now I'm stationed all the way in Japan and when I watch a video I'm always taking notes and all the time I see how passionate you are about your videos no matter what type of video, you are fucking happy! Don't let them pull your happiness man because it's your life and you have kids that look up to you. I will always watch your videos to include your old ones because that passion of yours hypes me up to get more creative with my channel that I want to build while still serving in the marine corps and hopefully if I can retire to continue and do it full time to have that spark ⚡️ that I see in what you do. You may not read this but shit I look up to you and will continue to support you and your computer build! I even named my computer Skynet and want to keep building it as I grow. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!!! Semper Fi in what you create.
Why do you care what people who you don't know thinks or says about you? I've learned about graphics cards and cpus and overclocking from your channel. So fuck the haters,they don't matter.
but after a while it does. When the bad comments are being outnumbered by negative things all you see is negativity. That gets to people, maybe not as bad to you but to others is does and jay is one of the others that's needing his Sensible subs to make him see that he should see threw the negative .
Gamingedit I agree especially non popular channels negative comments even dislikes can be depressing after hours of work trying to get a video ready. And ppl say some cruel shit over petty stuff nowadays. He'll some ppl only sub to be dicks disliking every new video that gets uploaded.
I imagine that misinformed hate is annoying to read day in day out, and at one point you just have to deal with it once and for all. Also, when people with no opinion read something negative about Jay, for example on youtube or reddit, they may adopt the same opinion even though it has no ground. Reddit can be particularly nasty if the wrong comment gets upvoted and gains traction.
You rock Brother! I have learned so much from you on just water cooling alone that I want to thank you for all that you have put into your channel. This is an old video post but sadly it still implies. I would like to say just ignore them but that is easier said than done. But what I can tell you is this, "When reaching out to make a difference, you only have to effect one to be a success." Mission accomplished and again I thank you for it.
Probably because you are used to see all kinds of things in porn... Nothing is wrong in porn. Here in youtube if you have wrong coloured shirt people insult you about it.
I'm the silent majority. And I'm sorry, bud. I love your channel and content. I needed to see this today. Your content is top notch, and trolls will always be trolls. (I'm about halfway through the video writing this). Keep fighting the good fight, man. You're kick-ass. You and Salazar Studios are my favorite tech vloggers right now. You've surpassed Linus in my mind. You're doing great! Thanks for your videos, man!
P.S. I'm a RUclips red subscriber, so I don't see pre-roll ads, anyway. Been in since day one of the beta, and will constantly be paying. I know it's not the same. But it allows me to keep the green shield up top. lol I'll never complain about your spot ads.
I'm glad that you have decided to make these videos. You are the most transparent PC builder ever. I have learned so much from your mistakes, that it is hard to say. Please keep up the honest content and the amazing quality, which you are offering us FOR FREE. MUCH APPRECIATED! (the assembly parts are the best, cause nobody else is showing from 0 to 100%, how are they doing, oh and of course the long term issues, which came up long after the assembly) YOU ROCK!
Jason, this is my first comment here. There are guys who already said what I will write to you; Most of us usually don't even scroll down to the comments section, cause there are only shitty comments from stupid people who have time to waste writing shit to everyone. I love this frickin' channel, I swear, you could really make videos talking about SHIT, and I would LOVE IT ANYWAY. It's just about personality, I don't know you personally and you don't even knew before now that I am a person that exists, but, anyway, I will keep watching EVERY SINGLE VIDEO that you publish, just because something grow on me when I decided to subscribe to this channel! I think of you just as a friend of mine, just like the others, even though you don't know me! I will keep watching you till you will be here on RUclips, so I'll try to comment more often to let you notice that there are a lot of people who love your videos, even if they are SILENT, as you said. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I am 18 and I watch you from Italy! Just think of how far we are and how awesome it is that you have followers from all over the world. Just keep posting videos Jay, I am here with many others and I will stay here for quite a long time! :)
I will never complain about your running ads in general. My only complaint (and it's not directed at you specifically) is when content creators run ads for products that are well known to be of poor quality, and in some cases even downright dangerous and/or hazardous and praise how great they are. I've only seen you do that once with the Norton ad. Now this is meant to be constructive criticism. I know you aren't necessarily an NVidia shill or an AMD hater, but you do come across that way quite a bit by many of the comments you make about and towards AMD (although not as much as Jerry does). That might explain why you get so many comments about it. I see you as someone who tends to prefer Nvidia and EVGA products, but some (especially those let mature) folks might see it otherwise. Just something to think about.
Personally I prefer it when adds are embedded in the video because for one they're almost always relevant and secondly I know that everyone that's watching the video is also seeing the add so I don't feel like my time's wasted when I sit through it.
I've always been told self employment where you work twice as much for half the pay in hope that you can make it be truly happy. The ones who make it have all of my respect
Well, I've spent the last 3 days watching dozens of your videos. You are my fav tech RUclipsr (sorry Linus, luv ya too!). I love your vids, love your humour, love your style. I don't have a job (was fired for taking care of sick wife), so I'm broke. Had to sell my car (Convertible 350z), lost our place (now rent), but I try never to let life get me down. Your success not only entertains and informs, but gives me hope that life will get better. You are living not just your dreams, Jay, but mine too. Thanks for the channel and for this video. Not sure if you'll read this in Oct 2018 but I had to say it.
I don't use the like button for videos I like because it doesn't work like a like button. RUclips tracks your likes on puts them on a list you can access, that makes it more like a "favorite/bookmark" option. I use the like button like another favorite button., to save stuff I might want to watch another time. I wonder if anyone else has the same issue with how the like system works or it's just me?
I always did that, then i decided to categorize them as playlists with labels so I can access them more easily than to go through all the liked videos to find a single damn video that i want to watch again.
I always figured bigger youtubers don't read the comments much so if there's 100+ I never bothered but I'll make an effort to at the least drop a like. love you and your content Jay
jay im one of the silent majority, here is your like and your positive comment. you do great work, your fx series videos especially helped bring life back into an aging pc and i had almost given up gaming because i can't afford to upgrade every six months like some people. your tech work is good, your kindness i've seen in videos is heartwarming. from a fellow person who was basically also tortured through school and finally stood up, i take shit from nobody. hell i just quit my job to pursue independent contracting because im sick of taking shit. its paying off in dividends. i love to see the realism in this video, and i support this honesty. im proud of you bro.
also, thanks to the move in jobs, ill probably finally be able to buy a *gasp* modern pc and actually enjoy this hobby for the first time in a long time.
i watched all 15min. and 25sec. of this video and i gota say, you should re-post this once a month, the internet tends to forget! id also like to say that i am sorry that i am part of your silent majority but something i can tell you that might make you feel a little better is that i watch ALL your videos for their content ONLY and i have never read the comments section so i had no idea the crap you have been putting up with. id like to hope that other people who just want to hear what you have to say don't give a shit about someone talking shit in the comments either! sorry you had to do this Jay, you have my full support on what EVER you do!
after reading a few other comments (and commenting on a few negative comments from people ;) id also like to add that i do not use add block either... haha dont know how and now im not going to figure it out haha
This needed to be said. Silent no more, a positive environment and feedback section is truly not much to ask for someone who genuinely cares about his viewers. C'mon silent majority, show some love.
Christian Bueche I did not know that positive comments were so welcomed. Naturally yes, but I didn't think that a simple "Great video" or something along those lines was appreciated.
The majority of us are guilty of watching many of our favorite RUclipsrs and not giving them any positive feedback or even a thumbs up. These guys need us to speak up, they have to gauge how people are reacting to their videos. Having a comment section infested with hate and negativity when you put your heart and soul into making these videos I believe would be heartbreaking. A simple "great video" just like any other act of appreciation or kindness can make someone's day.
Christian Bueche I am guilty of that. I use to comment all the time, but I've probably left 15-20 comments in the past 2 years. I do try to give them a thumbs up. I think that a lot of RUclipsrs should make videos like these to let people like us that positive comments are highly welcomed and appreciated.
Your comment about not being the silent majority hit me. Think I needed it. Not much of a tech guy so hard to speak to that stuff but wanted to let you know my wife has lost close to 300lbs. I have lost about 100lbs. Good on you for accomplishing such a great feat. It's like you get your life back. You can be there more for your family and be a good example for others. My hat is off to you! FYI I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot. Used to build systems back in the early to mid 90s but had been out of the loop until recently. Thanks again.
LanceOLonginus same here bruh.....I saw the photo and i am like bruuuh!! ...I havent had motivation like this ever! Jay....bro....maaaaaaad respect fam!!! You are amazing! When I do come to the states I am doing a free shoot for you!!!!
I think it would be hard to read so many commits but people will always be negative to you whatever you do. Everyone loves you!!!!! Keep up the good work!
Hey Jason, I just wanted to say that for what it's worth I think you are a truly amazing individual. I've only been watching you for about a month now and the level of passion, enthusiasm, information, encouragement, and overall enjoyment for all things Tech you try to convey with your videos (and that you no doubt embody yourself) is both amazing and very evident in them. You manage to keep your videos very informative while also preserving that sense of wonder, amazement, fascination people get from working with PCs/ Technology in general, not to mention throwing in a few extra gallons of humor to add to the experience. I really relate to the way you dealt with a lot of the hardships in your life as well as your initial shyness/introverted nature. I had actually put off trying to build my own PC for a long time because I didn't know where to start, didn't want to go out to forums in search of advice, and was very weary as to whether people in the PC building game would be friendly/willing to help or judgemental/impatient. I tried to learn as much as I could from watching other tech channels, but I always found myself struggling with the same concepts and a bit and confused at times. However, after finding your videos I was finally able to understand how a lot of it fit together. The way you explain things in a very down to earth yet still very informative manner really helped me to get back that "look of wonder" in my eyes that drew me to computers in the first place. I guess what I'm trying to say is that while I know there are those who wish to put you down simply for the reason that you happened to crack a smile and show the tiniest bit of happiness (and at times they seem to be everywhere), there are also those who truly appreciate what you do and owe a huge chunk of the enjoyment they get from building a PC (or just being on youtube/ the internet) to you and your videos and I am absolutely positive that their numbers far outweigh those of the haters. I know you said you probably won't read these comments and this video is kind of old now, but those are just my two cents. : )
As per you request, I will write a comment with the first thing that came to my mind. I can't even fathom the idea of someone dissing you about your body after seeing the effort you have put into your physical health. 100% of the time they are just jealous that they are incapable of such commitment, we've got your back, let those trolls drown in their jealousy.
Jay, I don't comment on videos, or even press the like button often. I was apart of the silent majority. I will be that no longer. Keep on doing what you believe in your heart. Love ya buddy.
Jay, you were right through out this video but the bit that really got to me was about the majority of your audience (nice people) not leaving any comments. I felt as though this really applied to me as i have loved 90% of your videos over the last year or two but i don't think i've ever left a comment on one of your videos. The work you have done the past few years has been great and i have loved (almost) every second of it. The reason why the comment section is so skewed across the whole of youtube is due to audience motivation e.g. if you like a video you're unlikely to say anything about it but if you dislike then you already have a comment ready in your head. Which is why i believe that this comment section truly represents your audience as you have given us a reason to raise our voices and give our opinion.
BTW Im ok with ads, i think linustechtips do their ads perfectly (short ad at the start with a longer more informational one at the end). I also completely agree with integrity being thee most important quality which is why i completely disagree with people who say your paid off for good reviews etc. , your work really does demonstrate to me how you feel about each product and not the brand that creates it.
Jay, I gladly watch the ads you have in your videos. The amount I have learned from you, far out ways the insignificant time spent watching the ads - especially since those ads give you the resources to not only keep making new content but also to support your family. Kudo’s to you for leaving money on the table to keep your integrity. The world would be a much better place if others had the same sense of morals.
It would be nice if youtube has more specific links for videos I mean not like "youtube dot com slash some numbers and stuff" But like "youtube dot com slash JayzTwoCents (for example) slash some numbers and stuff" With links like these you could tell AdBlock not block Ads on specific channels, and not watch ads on some random videos I recently deleted AdBlock completely Little ads it's fine, i can take that But oh my god then 2-3 min video Ad is coming up this is so bad, some of them are full music videos, this is like worst thing ever, especially cringy Russian ads But hey, people are making content for me and for all of us, they deserve every cent they get from ads
***** im in Australia mate lol, no idea about tnt or how good Oklahoma is, if i got that correct 😉 yeah I get you want his response but im still waiting for Brittany spears to sign my singles cd from 2001 aswell. Its a bloody shame 😂
Yea... I remember him saying that he won't read comments, and YES I subscribe to other Tech pages... My question wasn't to him of a Personal nature either but of the Tech issues that were NOT addressed upon in his video, but are important. So... If he doesn't take the time to READ the comments, why is he so PISSED about the comments... I'm not attacking ANYONE. I just COMMENTED that this video was a poor choice to spend time on when there are more pressing issues for Subscribers... Oh jeez, let's say, like... VIDEO CARDS CATCHING ON FIRE.
I've just started getting into the PC community recently. I actually just built my first PC less than 3 weeks ago (i5 7600K / GTX 1080 woot woot). But prior to that build I'd watch countless vids about PC's from many different channels (mostly from yours) just to get a feel of what it is like to own a high end PC. I would vicariously enjoy the PC's that we're in those vids. I don't ever comment on videos either, I'd just run a playlist and go on a RUclips marathon. But I have to say, after watching this video and learning a bit more about your backstory, I've grown an even bigger respect for not just your channel, but you as a person. Keep up the great content!
Well said man. Mad respect
TechSource love u
TechSource hey man love your videos as well
TechSource do u think he can roast a pork chop just by talking to it?
sa dude
Go give the PC you owe to that one guy for the giveaway.
I'm very proud of you for making this video Jay. It's never easy to speak from your heart knowing there are so many negative people out there waiting to capitalize on any vulnerability. You and I agree 100% on everything you said in this video and it resonated with me heavily. You made me realize that when I watch content from now on I need to leave a comment, I need to hit that like button, I need to let the person know I'm there for them and enjoy what they do even if they may never see it because in the end other people will see it and it will become infectious and change the entire mood of the comments section. This transcends RUclips and applies across all social media. Imagine if every single person that enjoyed watching our content always left a comment, even something simple as 'Great video' or 'I really liked xxx' how much it would change our outlook and motivate us to keep doing better? Every single person makes a difference when they are share some positivity.
Thank you again for making this video!
Hey Barnacules, I watched your guy's recent tech talk, and after that I had to watch this video. I'm glad to say, I wasn't disappointed, and I feel the same way. Like you said during the tech talk, most of the time I just watch the video and move on, but I think I will make more of an effort to leave a like and a comment. Thanks for all the great content on both of your channels, it's really fun watching the videos you make. You guys are both really awesome!
EVGA's
You are too funny.
im not writing an essay so i really dont care and "faggot" what are you 12 it doesnt really matter and the point is that it has nothing to do with christian values its the point that he is wanting the silent majority to speek up about people like you who often criticize him or even any other youtuber. you dont have to watch his stuff so why does any of what he has to say matter to you . last of all im not an athiest i believe in a higher power im actually baptist so next time you make a stupid assumption like that just keep it to your self.
As always well said Jerry.
That you even dare to type this here makes me sick.
Do you have any idea how much work goes into making the High Quality content he provides?
Honestly i do not think you have any idea.
I myself make "content" [nowhere near as good] and it takes a lot of time, effort, retrying, etc.
Before you get a finished product!
My Golden Tip:
Try doing the things content creators do here on RUclips [Not only Jay]
And come back,
Possibly broken and tired!

I place this because I've been on RUclips since 2012 with this account.
Just letting y'all know.
Just a catchphrase i use according to what i post [Most of my comments have this].
No bragging intended!
Jay, I am a lazy youtube consumer and I never leave comments on videos, but your message came out strong and you have my support all the way! You deserve my comment and you deserve a GTR.
And one more thing, on the scale of things, your true fans will always outweigh the haters. Haters have nothing better to do, they bitch because they have no friends, no life, and regret everything.
Adam Skower mate if this is how u comment then you should comment more
I agree 100%
Jay you're awesome, just keep being you.
Adam, same here, i tend to leave YT on in the background and let it auto play away. feeling the same as you here!
To the top you go good sir!
couldn't have said it better
I feel bad being a part of the "silent community" now...
why? cluster B personalities don't get over their idiocy even with professional help and they usually drag you down and make you look just like them only with a more noble soap box.
Menziafu me 2
250 lb in 7 years, that is equivalent to extracting a man out of yourself. Kudos Jay!
HPS Virk Well said👍
yea thats awesome...feel bad for people who cant help but take random negativity to heart....ended up doing him good tho in his case not for everyone
Giggidy
tbh I always thought he was fairly skinny
Hey, I'm like 150lbs, that's like 1.66x of me in lost weight
Duududud that Visine ad integration was clutch.
Kappa.
Perfectly stated. This video speaks on behalf of all us RUclipsrs so thanks for making it
hey kyle i love you
BitWit 😱Kyle has arrived! #GoTeamJay?
BitWit No.. thank you Kyle !! Hope Jay reads some of these comments. Lots of positive ppl supporting you sir !
ily kyle bb
Thank you for making this video. Just thank you. I've had jay respond pretty much this in one of my comments. I made a comment on the anti-aliasing video. It was nothing more than a comment of my surprise and how past anti-aliasing techniques were a big performance hit. The first 50+ comments were insulting me for my gender and demanding I announce myself as a fake. Jay came in and said pretty much "why does it matter, I don't care about gender, it was never mentioned in the comment, and it was a relevant and thoughtful comment so whats the problem". I mean it was written a lot better than that, completely made my day and in my mind invalidated all the hate I got from my response.
I love jay's videos but unfortunately the responses I get are some of the most cancerous of any channel. I honestly even prefer replying to leafyishere than jay's videos for that sole reason. I don't know why its the case but it is. The top comment is someone calling jay a hypocrite for making this video. My experience with him shows the opposite, he genuinely doesn't like the gang attack mentality on here and has put himself out there trying to stop it. It was one of my least favourite comments but jay's reply completely flipped that around, I still look back at it to read jay's reply when I need cheering up. Over a month later they are still at it with responses describing how fucked up I must be, complaining that I've given up responding to them because I'm "avoiding questions" etc. Sure some of the replies were great, informative, positive and just great replies but well over 90% of the replies there were horrible.
Now I'll leave jay's response at the bottom of this comment for anyone who is interested in reading it. The rest will be a message to jay on the off chance he ever reads this.
So I came here after leaving linus' channel looking for somewhere with less bias. After the first video I immediately knew you don't put any paid spin on your reviews and that is the main reason I stay. I absolutely adore your sense of humour, I love how direct you are, and really your personality is exactly what I want in videos but that is all secondary to your honesty and the fact that it is so clear you don't put a spin on your videos. Now I joined about a year ago, I never saw your overweight days. I know its something you're going to worry about for the rest of your life but believe me nobody can see it at all. Even showing off your arms in the video I couldn't see what you were worried about and honestly I thought that you were someone who was in the mega-sport gym group in the past rather than the opposite. Anyone making negative comments about your weight is only doing so because you weren't too embarrassed to show your past and they saw it as a vulnerability to hurt you.
I really wish you were getting paid more. I really don't like to see how much others are getting whilst being honest and following your morals is losing you so much money. I've disabled ad-block on your videos, I've started using your amazon link, and I wish I could do more because you completely deserve more. The silent majority can see that you you turn down financial incentives to lie and I guess just look at how your sub count is blowing up to see that. I wish I could comment more, I really do. I can't think of a single video my comments would be anything but positive towards the video. People tend to comment when they want to complain, when they're happy they will just go and click another video so I'd say the real indicator is looking at your weekly/monthly view count to see how happy people are. Look at the like to dislike ratio of this video, that shows you the proportion of the silent happy majority to the haters. Now I know this is a long post, I don't expect you to read this far, but if you do just thank you for making that comment supporting me. You're a youtuber I highly look up to and respect, you coming out to support my comment still cheers me up and helps me brush off the constant hate of youtube to this day. I know you're busy and it meant a huge deal to me that you took the time out to reply. Every indicator I can think of shows you're doing the right thing with your channel and please remember that the next time someone complains that you're being fake, a terrible person, or whatever else hate these people give.
Anyway the response jay sent:
I dont really care if you are really a girl or a guy, the bottom line is you made a very well thought out response to this video and made some very valid points. The issue here was your comment was clearly too intellectual for the average internet patron to comprehend.
+Olivia Lambert the wall of text grabbed my attention as I scrolled through and yes I read it all. Thank you for the support. You want to know why I stood up for you well I'll tell you. My daughter is 7.5yrs old and she too is a gamer. She is in to all the things that usually only boys are in to... computers, games, cars, and even TaeKwonDo and is now sparring with boys much higher belts than her. I already see it at her age where boys don't take her serious because she's a girl. Well not long ago while sparring against a junior black belt boy 4 years older than her, she round house kicked him in ass as he turned so hard that he cried.... she was only an orange belt. Needless to say he got mad and wanted to really fight her and the master had to step in. She looked him right in the face and said "there's more where that came from boy" and made the come at me bro arm gesture.
My point here is i can already see as a father of 2 girls that they are going to have an uphill battle against them and it isn't right. Your comment about the AA video triggered me because I still can't believe we live in a world where race and gender matters so much. I hate to see intelligent people silence by the idiots of this world which was the point of his video.
There is no hypocrisy in this video and you're right the interactions prove that. People wanting to call me out don't deserve my time anymore. And I don't bother blocking them because I want their incredible arrogance to be a shining example of what is wrong with this world and the top comment proves that.
Any way if you ever want to game, email me. You know where to find me :)
Olivia Lambert you are exactly right. I love it when you can have a proper conversation with people and not some random person suddenly shout out abuse for no reason at all.
let's study. B(hons)
Olivia Lambert The most humane comment thread on RUclips
TLDR
HI Jay, I know this is an old video, I just wanted to say, I love your videos, Love the content, I think your a straight up honest and funny person.
please keep doing what your doing, Ive learnt so so muc from you and appreciate every video you make. peace and prosperity to you and your family.
I was at 298.9 lbs, I hated myself and wouldn't have been able to handle hitting 300, your weight loss inspired me to start working out, I'm down 40lbs in 4 months and still going strong. You have a positive influence in the tech world, keep it up
:) Keep up the amazing work!!
Brandon St. Jules I feel you man as well as with Jay. when I graduated college and ended my football career as an Offensive lineman at 325 lbs, I then told myself did not want to be a stereotype of a Lineman and dropped to a fit 275
Keep climbing the mountain bro, until you're over satisfy. :) best feeling ever.
Good work Man!
Good luck moving forward man!
Even if you dont read the comments dude - I hear ya - Ive just had to learn to take the negativity people throw in a totally different way. Some days I reply with humor, some days people see arrogance. Its never easy. But from one RUclipsr to another - stand strong brother - FYI I hardly ever watch other tech vids much less comment because I dont want to be seen to be 'advertising myself' I hope in this one instance it doesnt offend (anyone)
jay would appreciate this comment not be offended tom
OC3D TV i'm not a RUclipsr but still i have a lot of haters and i decided to follow a simple rule: i don't give a shit to all the people claiming to be better, telling me what i should do. If you are really better, why don't you show me how to improve? Make a video, prove me that i have something to learn from you
If you can't prove it then fuck off, get back to your miserable life and i will get back to making money with my crap
TTL and Jayz are the only PC tubers I watch. You're both great at it, keep it up.
TTL with the love! You're a good man Tom.
Some of the comments you get are disgusting, ive called someone out before about it but got shot down as it was "just a joke" and you know the score.
Dude, more people need the motivation that you have. Losing 250lbs is fucking insane. Damn I wish I had that dedication.
Also, "definitely not AMD" LOL
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITtruthotrutho
Dusk Wolf he seriously has gone through a lot and with his attitude u can never tell that he did face all of these problems, and still stay so positive
Nah dude, you gotta make yourself busy
11:04
"I only did this channel to prove to Josh that this would never work. And it did."
I just couldn't love Jayz more.
I discovered your channel only 3 weeks ago and hell, I just can't stop watching. I strongly appreciate such a video/rant/vent.
One does not simply question this man's authenticity and dignity. You are one of those who can make your community feel close to you.
And I suppose an awesome father too.
Of course this is almost one year old now but hey, you deserve your channel's success.
Best regards from France.
Here in Brazil is not different. a few months ago one manufacturer offered me U$ 10.000 to delete two videos on my channel. Stay strong Jay.
(I do not believe that you remember, but we met at the launch of the GTX 1080 in Texas).
I'm one of the guys with a EVGA 1070 FTW and I'll tell you Jay, your video on the problem and showing how to install the thermal pads was awesome and needed!
Also, I'm one of the quiet one's but I'll start showing you that I appreciate your content 👍🏼
Simon Suomela me 3
You have been an amazing inspiration for me. As an IT person, you have pushed me to do things I never thought I could. Your content is amazing, THANK YOU for all your hard work!
Do not let yourself be pulled in a different direction by the complainers..
I have enjoyed all you videos and some of your TechTalk.
Do not stop, I understand and appreciate your sincerity.
THANK YOU !!!
John Saldana +
You are absolutely right
Damn Jay, pretty deep video. Really exposed yourself and left it all on the table for both the haters and the lovers of your channel. I have mad respect for what you do and internet trolls will always be there to try and tear you down. It is unfortunate that the haters stand out the most but straight up, fuck them. The internet is a funny place...where even the best of people feel they can pass judgment on a perfect stranger because they are poking fun from the comfort of there home and hiding behind a user name. I can say without a doubt that most of the people leaving the negative comments and rude posts are people struggling with their own demons and life struggles and think its okay to dump their frustration and insecurities on you. Keep up the good work Jay and thank for your hard work and dedication to your viewers.
If I don't like someone's content , I just won't watch. I've never felt the need to post something nasty. Some people are just miserable. And feel the need to project. I honestly feel bad for them.
Same here well said man.
True, half the time they probably don't even mean it :)
Well arent you perfect?
Reikis645 far from it homie.
totally agree, if you dont have anything positive to say then dont say anything
One of the few honest 'serious talk' videos on youtube.
Now that's smthing
Potato. yup
Like, there aren't even any cuts, I nearly cried.
this video really hit home for me. there is so much crap guys and girls like Jay take all that time that we really don't see. He works really hard to do what he does and majority of us take it for granite and the other group of people just hate on him for what he does. its truly really sad when you think about it.
I'm trying to lose 20 pounds in 1 month, I'm currently Two-Hundred and Thirty Five pounds at age 16 and Five feet Five inches. You're an inspiration for me with both with motivating me to lose weight and gain self confidence, and for me to get my feet wet into Computer technology when I was 13, and now looking for a possible career in this field. Keep doing what you do Jay, I can't wait to see this channel hit One Million subscribers. You're more than just a Tech RUclipsr, you're a pioneer in this category. You shouldn't listen to peoples opinions, 99% of the time, they are judgmental pricks. Stay Positive Dude! You're the Best!
You can do it. If anyone else says otherwise, ignore them, and keep moving forward. :)
Good luck!
Tech Bank keep going, man!
Thank You Everyone! :) It means a lot!
I dropped 20 pounds over the summer just by not drinking soda and heavily cutting back on my sugar intake. Started regular exercise back again and I'm slowly loosing the weight. Started at 215, at 185-ish. Keep going m8
Yeah, I've dropped all Sugars and Bread... One of the hardest things I've ever done, especially with Thanksgiving, Halloween and the Winter festivities and all of the food that's come with it.
It's 2019 and I just saw this video as I only recently subbed. I gotta say, I'd be willing to bet that over 90% of the people that view your videos really like what you do and don't leave comments--I never did. I've also never liked videos in the past. I don't use AdBlocker though because I know that's how you guys get paid! Anyway, so that the silent majority isn't as silent, 2.5 years later, I'm here commenting on how awesome your channel is! I got to your channel knowing a fair amount about PC hardware, but I've learned a lot about watercooling from you. Keep on keepin on man! The trolls will always be there--they have low self-esteem and need a way to make themselves feel better. Dealing with their pathetic life is too much so they take it out on someone online because they don't have the stones to do it in real life. Anywho, I'm very late to the party, but I hope this just adds a little more to the positivity!
I love when you have integrated ads in the beginning of your videos. Especially the fractal ads with comedy. Just keep up the great work.
I agree! :)
Alex Clanton RUclips red ruins it. Google didn't tell me that my Google Play Music subscription would give me red.
I usually don't comment (usually just click the like button) but I see you need it, you're one of the best content creators out there cause I know you work your ass off and you still fight for us consumers for free, that EVGA video I didn't even realize that behavior till this video. You showed us how to fix a problem that could cause someone to lose a GTX 1080/70/60 and you gave your opinion about the company attitude... I bet if they fucked us you would call it out. Anyway as you mentioned the majority is with you, even though we don't speak as loud as haters. (Sorry for my bad english, non native speaker here)
It's always sad to see your favorite RUclipsrs make one of these videos because sometimes you can forget that you are watching real people making the videos. Then you watch it and it hits you that they are just human like you and even though you might not be one of the assholes in the comment section, you do really feel for them. Hope you come through Jay! And hope all the negativity stops! I personally love your channel and your added humour to everything is great but I guess some people are like the Joker and just want to see the world burn... I'll be sure to leave more comments in the future :) (Also; I do try to leave a like on all your videos I watch :)
Ebolarnator perfectly said my friend.
Unfortunately, all the negativity will never leave youtube. It sucks to know that. People hate themselves so much they jump all over the chance to be able to anonymously make a jackass of themselves to all these channels like Jayz
Ebolarnator i wouldnt say it better
Thanks very much for this Jay. I know it's an old video but it resonated. I started my channel to force myself out of my comfort zone to deal with my anxiety. I honestly never even considered the comments on RUclips, and honestly I very rarely get negative comments, but when I do it's usually something to do with me having nice things, etc.
People don't see the countless hours you spend in the background and the sacrifises you make to put content out there to help people. I get the same attitude when I talk about a product or run a giveaway. If I do a review, it's on my terms and they know that. if I don't like the product I'll tear it to shreds.
You're genuinely passionate about what you do and it shows. it's the reason I started watching your videos and will continue to do so.
Keep doing what you're doing, and WELL DONE with the drastic change in your health and lifestyle! that takes serious balls!
Hey Jay,
Chronic lurker here... I almost never post on videos but just wanted to let you know that your videos mean a lot to me. Thank you for teaching me a lot about watercooling, hardware, peripherals, overclocking, and countless other things. Keep doing what you do and I will continue to follow you :)
I am the same.
Don't take the trolls to heart. Your channel is awesome everyone has a struggle and fortunately you winning your struggle.
Keep up the hard work and effort and only keep doing it if your enjoying it.
Some people here are not negative. I hope none of my several comments are taken negatively.
Jay, no one is stopping u from putting ads on your videos. U spend yourself too much for us, and you, like you said, could be living higher, but there will still be haters no matter what.
Just keep up the great work man
Marek Chociej Indeed, this man could talk about fans or thermal past for all I care and I would still watch them. Love his editing, and his humor makes any subject fun to watch.
If he's talking about the short pre roll spots in linus and hardwarecanucks videos I'm absolutely in favor seeing those, if it mean he gets to drive a freakin GTR. Most of the time the products are completely relevant, and the ad is done by them, so I don't even mind it.
Jay... ...go on a holiday...
And smoke less weed.
if he was smokin hed be fine
CFFT if he goes on a few weeks holiday, he makes no money he needs to take care of his family
*more
I agree, a Holiday might be a solution. Jay makes great content and deserves a good fun relaxing rest.
Jay, I just want to say thank you. I first found out about your channel with the "How to connect rooms without Ethernet cable" video, because that's what i was trying to do with my home and you video was the only one that interested me. And because of that i decided to check out the channel from day one. I loved your commentary and honesty when it came to reviews and tutorials and how much fun you put into the videos. Then i get to this one, and it touched me. (in a good way) I know about bullies and the mental abuse. I'm 41 now and finally woke up to the realization I do not have to put up with that crap. I wish i could say that i was younger with realizing it, but sometimes that doesn't happen. I'm glad you stuck with it and came this far with so much more coming. I can tell you are not a sell out and that is why I'm sticking around for the long haul. Kudos.
ad blocker seriously needs to have a function to allow ads from certain channels. You´re a great guy Jay. Stay on track!
I don't know what kind of adblocker you use but both adblock and adblock plus do have this feature
they already do.....
why dont u just pause addblock while u watch his vids
if you're on spotify, swap it for google play music subscription. comes with YT Red (so no ads but content creators still make money from your views as if there were), and more money from your subscription goes to artists
how do you whitelist him?
I'm not a tech guy I don't won a PC I play console games. I've been a sub here for 2 years because I like your personality Jay. I didn't know you weighed almost 500 LBS and you've lost 270 that's amazing dude! I'm not saying nice things because of this video I'm not a hater I only watch who I enjoy, and you are the shit dude!
***** He is awesome! I don't know anything about PC, but I've learned quite a bit from his videos. Have been thinking about building one because of him. I love his channel really good guy.
***** Is that going to be relatively cheap?
***** See if don't know own what any of that means. That's not to bad if a price though. How much do you think it'll cost to build a good gaming PC? I don't need the top of the line graphics or anything like that. Just one that'll run like BF1 and Gears 4 smooth with a good frame rate if you know that'll be awesome.
***** That's not to bad, I was wondering if you could get that for around 500 USD.
***** I will definitely look there thanks, also yeah that's me too console player pop in the disc and play. I've never even played a PC that's why I'm kinda wanting to build one. Just for a couple games mainly.
I'm finally impressed with RUclips commenters. I scrolled 5 pages of comments scanning for something negative, I just wanted to see if anyone would have a bad reaction to this - who the silent 2,000 are who clicked dislike on this video and what such a person would say. I'm happy to see the other 30 THOUSAND of us shouted FAR LOUDER. Subbed long ago, liked and commented long ago and will continue to do so!
I completely agree - I think the other phenomenon is the anonymity that something like a car or keyboard/mouse gives us. People do things in cars like cut people off, etc. that they would *never* do say in line at a store. In the same way when you put a keyboard/screen in between two people it's not only very hard to read someone's ton, sometimes impossible, but it creates an environment where people say things that again they would never say to someone in person. One of the sad side effects or our modern age.
I came across your channel today while looking for tutorials on how to build your own computer. I have to say that your channel is great and that I'm learning alot of stuff that will make a difference in the choice of equipment that I do. Thank you for your dedication and for posting these videos so people like me can have reference points when it comes to hardware.
I also want to thank you for your complete honestly and unfiltered opinions. It really helps alot to know that you have no bias when it comes to be objective. Thank you, again, for your hard work in this channel.
Bully's at school scar people for many years. School bullies should be made to see what damage they do to people.
Louise Appleyard i agree
Louise Appleyard The sad thing is that they don't care just like most of the people that are in prison not caring about what they did to get themselves in there.
I agree completely.
they would be delighted to see how they fucked someone up, i know that for a fact.
It never leaves you ,trust me.
I really appreciate tech youtubers who put ip benches. That shit takes time, and that must suck. So jay, I hope your day is going good
I know Jay probably won't read this, like he said, but I feel like I should come forward and show some support here. I love this channel, I love the techy content, the dorky humor, the transition squeaky voice, all of it. RUclipsrs who are this dedicated to making sure we the consumers are informed, we the builders know what to do, they're the real heroes. I respect the work that Jay and his affiliates do, because I couldn't do it. Keep killing it Jay.
Yeah! We're here Jay!
You're definitely one of my favorite tech RUclips channels/content creators and one of my favorite channels in general. I can't imagine how hard it must be to put yourself out there, put your time, effort, and passion into this channel and then be faced with such overwhelming negativity. The fact that you're able to rise above the negativity and still create amazing content just reaffirms that your channel is one of my favorites. Thank you for all of the content you put out there!
Jayz... embrace the power of the... BANHAMMER!!!!
Eli the Computer Guy Eli!
your great :)
Love ^this^ guy. His videos helped me get my start in IT/Telecom.
Hear, hear! Well spoken by one of my favorite RUclipsr to another favorite.
I hope you will do some more educational videos Eli
Thanks for the transparency. You're a human being with value and I appreciate your channel. Thanks for all you do.
Here's my thought for the day: haters feel like you should be hated because you achieved something they won't be able to.
I personally feel that you're a cool dude, and I dislike the idea of you being slightly nVidia biased, but that's another story.
Fans feel that nothing good needs to be said because everything that needed to be said already is. While haters need to re-assure themselves, lie to themselves that they're right. If you read this, goodie, if not, too bad. But know that there's more people that like your vids than the opposite.
*****
Well, I was referring to the slight nVidia bias (a very slight tho, but everyone has preferences, and everyone has the rights to have 'em) so he ain't perfect but who is.
Honestly, I can see why. AMD is one of those companies that many of us keep want to see doing sething amazing again, but they keep letting us down. They've got an uphill battle to beat nVidia's numbers, but when they start consistently beating their numbers in the tech they'll start seeing their numbers take an upward turn in the sales as they win many of us back. For now though I'm not going to hinder a build because of personal politics.
It may be months after the fact, but I had your channel's library on a random playlist for background noise. I'm not sure where your head is today as far as all your talked about in this video, but the biggest reason I enjoy your channel and content is that you don't fluff people and blow smoke up their asses. There's a very genuine nature to you, and your approach to this channel makes you one of the more easily relatable people I've come across on RUclips. I listen to how you talk about and share your thoughts about things, and especially here. I'm a veteran that struggles with dissociative anxiety, depression, and PTSD. From the way you do little things for others to the enjoyment and enthusiasm you have for sharing your hobbies, despite the fact of your anxiety about being in front of the camera, finding your channel has helped to give me motivation to work towards what I want to do and open my own shop. I think the greatest compliment a person can be given is that they inspire others to lead a better life. You have done that for me. So fuck all the people that give you shit for doing what you love and making the best of your life. Pay no mind to the people that want to drag you down. Keep strong and keep pushing forward. I believe in you and what you do. That in and of itself makes it meaningful, it's appreciated, and as cheesy and cliche people will probably think this is, you've inspired me to keep working at making a better life for myself. If you can give hope and purpose to even one person, your work is validated on that alone. Thank you.
i dont really comment to often because of the fact that it will get drowned out into white noise over the rest of the crap that gets put up here. I love you're content jay, i dont run AD block, if i dont like the AD i just mute youtube and go about multitasking until its done or skip it. Sure the Norton ad you put up was bad but people gotta pay the bills and to me thats fine, you're doing what you need to do for your family. i think its completely idiotic that most people cant seem to understand that fact, no one wants to be skimming by no one wants to be poor, so why would you put someone down for making smart financial decisions that that person would probably just fuck up and sell out ? instead of them bitching at you because you're making something of your life and their not they just need to get off their ass and do something about it.
so many spelling errors, i apologize XD
So true...
See, you were afraid your comment would get lost in the white noise, yet I saw it. Thank you for the support. I try to make smart middle ground decisions regarding financials. So far I think its working. I just wanted people to know that I do in fact take the audience in to account when I make these decisions and how I incorporate them
Billy Gillis you know what you can edit your post right😂😂
Billy Gillis +
I weighed 279lbs on January first of this year. Right now I weigh 225lbs. Still catch shit for my weight. That part of your video got me in my feels.
Keep it going buddy
Keep up the good work. Not for the hope of kind comments, because there's a whole lot more of the bad ones.
Do it because you told yourself you'd do it. The most important person in your life is YOU.
Good job on losing the weight *thumbs up*
Thanks man, it's hard work, but the diet is the hardest part. I have no worries about rude comments here on youtube. While they talk shit, my energy and focus only go towards positive things and bettering myself. They are the ones who should worry for themselves.
Mate, the only guys you should listen to are the ones who've seen your journey, and the ones who have been through what you've been through. I've had my weight balloon up and worked hard to get my phys back to something I can be proud of. Stick to it, the results are always slow but they're worth it.
- Jay, spot-on.
Salazar Studio how's the pc?
hey..
rip science studio
Salazar Studio please tell me that Walter white is fixed. I really love your content, is there a way that i can donate for you
Good question. PSU is dead for sure xD
Wow! I just came to this channel in the last 20 days or so because of Zen2 and have binged watched ever since! I would have never guessed your health history. What I most like about the channel is that you seem like you came from a similar background as me. I thought it was just us being 40-ish and tech oriented. Little did I know there was more in common. I too was bullied, but on the opposite end: I was always the tiniest dude. I weighed 100.5 pounds freshman year of high school. I got beat up and robbed that year, and that was my moment of 'enough is enough'. I too learned to just stop caring about how other people feel about me or better yet, how they feel about me telling them to 'screw off' (in more colorful language, mind you). I'm so glad that you are doing what you're doing and being successful with it. God bless you!
Dude, there are plenty of people who watch your channel that don't comment all the time. I always click like, but a lot of the time I don't have the time to comment on every video I watch. Keep up the good videos, and I will try to comment as much as I can.
Jay, you know that it is impossible to avoid some of these comments. Jay, take a week off. You really need it. We can wait.
I think the bigger problem is just the culture of the comment section. It gets rough down here, so I tend to stay away.
Bobby Jones also some platforms are not really conducive to making comments, such as smart tvs, which is what I use to watch RUclips the most.
additionally, no matter how many positive comments someone gets the negative ones, no matter how few, will always stand out more. It's sad but true and I really wish Jay wouldn't let the haters get to him, but I know that's easier said than done.
Same here. The only way around it is if viewers spend time to start genuine discussions or leave genuine comments on the content. There is not enough counter balance to compete against the spam and hate, satirical or otherwise.
I watch all his content but just like he said himself, the comment section is a cesspool, so I think the reasonable and intelligent people have learned not to even read them most of the time, let alone comment.
Dude, you lost 1.5 me in your life. Take a solid nap. I'll slap that like button. That before photo blew my mind!
I've seen someone who wants to blame a political party to why they didn't have a job. A politician in particular, when we can't hire people. They attacked someone for going to Germany, from the USA, for an education where they couldn't afford it otherwise. They said because they looked at their situation, and said "I can't do it". They honestly looked at the situation, and said I'm so poor I can't stay here.
They called the person going on to graduate studies from homelessness someone making "excuses". They bettered themselves, moving 3,000 miles, learning a second language, and were told they made "excuses".
The person telling the formerly in poverty college student in Germany lives off of their husband, who has a family job, and does nothing. They do nothing, and blames politicians to why the can't get a job. This while we can't hire someone at my job, but her family refuses to get off their ass. Someone who does nothing attacks someone who does something because they don't like the achiever for taking an honest assessment of a fucked situation.
This country, the culture, is insane right now. There is not logic. You achieve, you get torn down for not achieving "how they like". You achieve, they can't, they say you must be on welfare/ sell out. They refuse to make changes in their life, because they blame people, race, gender, politicians, and find media to reinforce anger and hate.
My rant is done. I went off too. Do good work. Take care of you. I shared your EVGA video, take advice to heart, and enjoy (enthuse) over these tech products as a hobby that you enriched/ nurtured. Thanks for sharing your passion.
ODiddy67 cool
Jay, Take a look in the mirror. Look into the loving eyes of your wife and children, THOSE are the opinions that matter.
If some idiots say stupid things, your best revenge will be to let them stew in their bitterness, and thrive despite them. The lifestyle you live, you have EARNED through all the hard work you have put in. You look great, you always devote to building up your audiences knowledge base, even if some of your audience devotes to tearing apart some of your content.
Just KNOW that there ARE loyal and devout fans of your channel who appreciate all of the great content and advice you supply. They might not be as outspoken as some of the haters that tend to troll your (And I believe every you tubers)
Whenever you are successful, you will have people who are jealous and will try to tear you down, rather than learn from your example and use your success as motivation to strive and build themselves up.
Wishing you well, live your life for you and your family first. Keep producing content for your fans that love and appreciate you (We are out here) and please don't pay attention to the haters.
POETRY!
Well put.
Preach!!
Couldn't have said it better myself. Great encouraging and true words. Jay just take in the positive criticism or comments and ignore the idiots.
PREACH
So well-put. I just got in to content creation and streaming myself and what you had to say about being so dedicated and working so hard that the only time you can find for yourself to chill and just play a game for yourself is after your family has gone to bed; really hit close to home for me. Then you still have to get up at the same time and work, and find time for family and feel like you never sleep. You very obviously work extremely hard for what you have in your life. I'm new to your subscribership but I gotta say you're hands down my favorite youtuber. Glad I came across this video on your channel!
Thank you for speaking your mind, Jay. You're right about us, the people that watch your videos but don't like or comment. I'll start to show my support to you, and other content creators by liking and giving positive feedback. I hope that many others do as well. And about the giveaway, it's completely understandable that you don't want to do it anymore. You deserve a good rest from all the negativity.
SpicyWaffles same
Same Here i love you´r content and i hope that you don´t give up on your Dream Job , Entertaining us and making videos about Stuff you care , Teaching us what you know or even learn with us what Tech can do or not . Keep up the grate work PLEASE ..
Same
SpicyWaffles Pretty much what I was going to say. Seen most of your videos, never Liked or Commented. Sorry. Ticked both those boxes now though. And yeah put the giveaway on the back burner for a while. Unfortunately some will shout Shill no matter what you do if your opinion differs even slightly from theirs. What I wouldn't give for an internet free from these malignant asshats.
I've never watched your videos, this video was recommended by youtube. I love you.
Yeah, I also don't know how I got here from a South Park video.
***** Oh no, someone said something mean on the internet i'm so bothered
Bruce Wayne oh im so bothered oh jeez
Bruce Wayne i would ask why youre so whiney but i dont care what your life story is. i hope you feel better someday.
I love Jay too... no homo... HAHAHAHA
You are doing an amazing Job Jay. Absolutely enjoy watching your videos. Respect from India.
Keep up the good work.
Shubho Ghosh You're Indian 😱😱😱 Hey me too xD
man keep up your grind, i know this is an old post... I grew up broke, still am in a way but i've been doing whatever possible to succeed. 60+ hours a week, school, and life bs. Got bullied as well but i love nothing more than driving around in my tailored suits laughing at everyone who was supposed to be SUCCESSFUL but are working stupid 9-5's or not working at all. NOT many people understand that theirs no excuse for hard work or dedication, keep up the good work.
You have really inspired me to click like and write positive comments with this video Jay. I can tell you, that i am gonna stay after this video. You talked about lack of sleep and what you do every day. I don't want you to suffer physically man. Get your sleep Jay.
ditto
well said my friend. we gotta support good ol' Jay here. this video showed me that. it's motivated me to take the time to comment and like more, and not use adblock on RUclips videos xD. but in all seriousness, good video Jay, keep up the good work and don't lose too much sleep. take a week off if need be
I notice that the people that make size comments don't have the balls to do it to your face. I have gone from 670lbs to 365 and people online make nasty comments. I notice that no one makes comments to my face. Cowards and little worms can really wear on a person but just remember that not one of them is worth the sweat off you balls.
scarmenl congrats man. keep up the awesome work.
Michael Coffin
Thanks sir.
scarmenl that's awesome work! I'm from 340 to 220, such an amazing feeling!
that's really great bro, keep it up!
Dang dude that is impressive! Awesome work, keep it up
You also have to understand that most young people commenting on RUclips have absolutely ZERO idea how the real world and business works yet.
It's an increasingly common mentality in the United States that you're a sellout if you have even a moderate level of success (not looking at the pump when you fill your gas tank). Not one shred of thought is given to how hard that person has to work to enjoy even one iota of security. None. "You have something I don't, you're a sellout and I'm a victim." Entire political campaigns have been lost because the silent majority finally said "f*** you" to the rhetoric.
People call Linus Sebsatian a sell-out because his channel is successful and he does ads. They ignore the fact that he has a family to provide for AND SEVERAL salaries to pay out so others can also provide for themselves. Dude still drives a beat up Honda to provide for his, and several other peoples' families.
Jay, I hope you become a straight-up millionaire. You'd have NOTHING to feel bad about. You bust your ass and earn every single penny.
People will always cry "sellout." It just means you're doing things right. Your success will always "trigger" the ignorant. You have it, they want it, but they will always ignore the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into earning it. They hate themselves for lacking the knowledge or dedication to earn what you've earned.
So keep kicking ass. You got it.
One other aspect of the nastiness is that the internet makes it very easy to only dip your toe in the water, then withdraw to a safe distance and say nasty things based on a very small amount of data. Combine that with youth and ignorance, yeah. It sucks.
I thought Linus copped a 2016 Civic?
I just started following you recently, and I can relate. Today is the first time I've seen this clip. All I can say is that I am glad you have not walked away from the unbiased opinions of products you view. Cause time frame of this recording and when I started watching, if you walked. I wouldn't have learned. I used to game back on a 768 socket. I just built on 1151 socket. I am and have been out of the loop so long I have to relearn all over again. So again thank you Jay for sticking around, I hope I get to meet you in person some day. Keep the clips going I enjoy them. And congrats on your progress so far... ;)
Chris.
I am one of those who never comments, never even logs in while on RUclips.
This video made me log in just to thank you.
Keep up the good work!
Jason Stitely same

Don't let us commenters spoil this channel for you dude. You've worked hard for this, and you deserve the success you've earned, and if the comments under your videos are souring what should be a great achievement for you then you should either not read them or not heed them. The only people whose opinions matter are those you care for. Listen to them bud, don't listen to us.
Looking forward to your next video
How can someone improve without feedback? Doesn't matter if there are some who just want to insult, but if someone criticizes his work makes him think what he's doing.
Positive Feedback is actually kinda useless unless you're egocentric and want praise all the time. Negative feedback is the one that improves your work.
GuteAlteDMark There are other means of feedback beyond RUclips comments, which I would argue is probably the worst place to get feedback.
Besides, there's a difference between negative feedback and personal comments.
GuteAlteDMark People can be different, I'm inclined to agree with you, but just because that's how we react, that doesn't mean that's how everyone reacts.
Jay was not talking about helpful feedback, but about destructive comments. By the way positive feedback is very useful because it builds the person up instead of tearing them down. It lets people know that they are on the right track.
What the actual fuck?Did you really lose all that weight?Holy shit GG
Also you are a really cool dude,i appreciate you more than you could think!
Seriously, I only recently started following Jay a few months ago, I always thought he was super fit(I mean, he is pretty fit now), never knew he had lost so much weight! Way to go, Jay!
Ivan Alexander fuck them jay, you do you, dont let them get to your head ok bro?
Torin Storkey oh for sure, I think that's why I never noticed it, I came for the content, I stayed for the content and his personality, regardless of his physical condition.
Can you point out some spelling mistakes, I only see 1 and it looks like a typo...
This might be 4 years behind the time but what I enjoy about your videos is that you have a lot of "regular guy" about you, and you're intelligent, articulate and knowledgeable. Whatever you earn to me is irrelevant because you don't give off that "let them eat cake" vibe *AT ALL*.
Keep do what you're doing just as you're doing it. Thank you.
P.S. my ad blocker is off for your channel
P.P.S. I also like you because we share an affinity for car crash compilations :-P
All the haters are 12-16 year olds who are mad because they don't have what you have..
That is what i think too. It's just envy.
i am 16 and im not mad at all
the toxic part of the community is 9-14 (or at least thats what i find being toxic and annoying :))
looool:)))
It's Jay's fault b/c he's letting the trolls get under his skin. This is like Internet 101, you never let the trolls get under your skin. Jay is a big boy now, maybe he should start behaving like one.
Yeah man.. They are :)
And you are 30 years old and you get 2 Titan XPs and i7 6950x for free :D
Fuck it, you're right, mate. I always smash that like button, but I rarely comment. So here we go:
I love your videos, really. Informative and funny, on point and basically just really interesting. When someone asks me a tech-question, most of the time I summarise the information they need and then send them on to you.
Thanks for being Jay, Jay, your TwoCents are worth a "metric shit-ton" of dollars to me.
Also: Gawd darnit, Jay, you made me turn off my adblock.
Just subbed to you to show my support. You genuinely are an honest and good person, and we need to keep creators like you around.
Good, sure. Honest? No.
GreensladeNZ Are you looking to have fun bitching about Jay?
I've been following him long enough to know that he's not honest. Hell, he lies in this video. He's very obviously been crying, nothing wrong with that but trying to blame red eyes on some late night bullshit is a lie
i dont know why you sure he's not honest. if he'll tell them to fuck off then he's honest about how he feels. he's also honest about his reviews, and so on.
GreensladeNZ As a person who has only losely follows this channel, would you care to elaborate
Love the honesty. I know this is an old video, but here is a new comment. Since finding your channel I have been on a huge watching binge. So entertaining, love the passion you have and the dedication to the channel. I work a lot of long hours at work and always feel like there is no time left over for my own goals and projects. I truly enjoy all of your content, new and old. I wish I had kept up with my RUclips channel over the last 4 years, but I just couldn't keep the momentum. Super impressed with what you have here, and the hard work you have put in. Keep up the good work!
Jay, I am part of the silent majority, I've been watching you for about more than a year now. I enjoy your content even more because you show custom water cooling at it's finest. I apologize that I am part of the problem. You are right it does take seconds to hit a like button or a minute to leave a Positive comment. Easier said than done, but don't let the jealous negative individuals weigh you down. In my book, you are a great youtuber.
Thank you for making this video. I am so sorry you have to deal with this. You have inspired me. I too and around the 500 lb mark and wish to loose it. I too have been tortured in school. I love your channel Jay and I hope that you find the creativity again and continue to make great content.
Cryosin I'm a fatty too. Let's do it!
I have massive respect for you Jay and I really enjoy your videos
I always drop a like after watching and disabled my adblock on youtube, just to support you and other youtubers I enjoy watching
But what you said about the comments, these shitty comment sections are not only ruining it for you, trust me
When the "silent majority" looks at the comment section, we just think to ourselves that it's not worth the effort to write a genuine comment, it will drown in all the bullshit anyway
This isn't going to drown in the comment section. Good luck with this thread
Upvote for agreeing to this
Same
+rep
I too completely agree here with Eddy. Massive respect for you, and great enjoyment from the videos. I too believe that my comments would only be drowned in the BS of what is left here in the comment section. However, I believe that people, like what Eddy has done, need to step out from that "silent" group. So here we are, speaking up, hoping you hear us, and feel our support.
Have only been watching for about two months.....and I love all your content because you present it so well. Don't care if you're putting an exhaust on the truck or building your space, testing computer stuff, or pouring your heart out. I like it all. I lost 23 pounds over the last year.....but you......you are the man. Keep up all the great work!
Jay you are an amazing computer enthusiast and keep bringing us quality content to help us. You inspire me to make my own tech channel but I don't have enough money to buy everything but I will get there haha. Keep doing you Jay. I know you said you won't read these comments but I just want you to know that I support you and many people here do too.
PeekASMR hey man you don't have to buy anything just start using your phone as a camera. That's how a lot of RUclipsrs start just get out and do it man
hes amazing nvidia fanboy ..
RigPandaTC ! Hey thanks man I have my recording equipment but I more or less meant money to purchase the parts to do proper reviews/benchmarks on. :P Appreciate the kind response though!
everybody is a fanboy of something...
Yeah, you can't just sit on the fence with everything...
Jay you inspire me and keep doing what you do! Sorry for my language for what I'm about to say but FUCK THOSE THAT HAVE NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY, THEY ARE JUST MAD THAT THEY AREN'T DOING AND NEED TO BLOW OF STEAM, FUCK THEM ALL. Now I'm stationed all the way in Japan and when I watch a video I'm always taking notes and all the time I see how passionate you are about your videos no matter what type of video, you are fucking happy! Don't let them pull your happiness man because it's your life and you have kids that look up to you. I will always watch your videos to include your old ones because that passion of yours hypes me up to get more creative with my channel that I want to build while still serving in the marine corps and hopefully if I can retire to continue and do it full time to have that spark ⚡️ that I see in what you do. You may not read this but shit I look up to you and will continue to support you and your computer build! I even named my computer Skynet and want to keep building it as I grow. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!!! Semper Fi in what you create.
The Nerd Delegation 👌👍
👏👏👏
The Nerd Delegation Agreed
Why do you care what people who you don't know thinks or says about you? I've learned about graphics cards and cpus and overclocking from your channel. So fuck the haters,they don't matter.
but after a while it does. When the bad comments are being outnumbered by negative things all you see is negativity. That gets to people, maybe not as bad to you but to others is does and jay is one of the others that's needing his Sensible subs to make him see that he should see threw the negative .
Gamingedit I agree especially non popular channels negative comments even dislikes can be depressing after hours of work trying to get a video ready. And ppl say some cruel shit over petty stuff nowadays. He'll some ppl only sub to be dicks disliking every new video that gets uploaded.
I imagine that misinformed hate is annoying to read day in day out, and at one point you just have to deal with it once and for all. Also, when people with no opinion read something negative about Jay, for example on youtube or reddit, they may adopt the same opinion even though it has no ground. Reddit can be particularly nasty if the wrong comment gets upvoted and gains traction.
You rock Brother! I have learned so much from you on just water cooling alone that I want to thank you for all that you have put into your channel. This is an old video post but sadly it still implies. I would like to say just ignore them but that is easier said than done. But what I can tell you is this, "When reaching out to make a difference, you only have to effect one to be a success." Mission accomplished and again I thank you for it.
That awkward moment when the comments on PornHub are better than the comments on RUclips.
yeah man, people on pornhub actually comment about the video and make funny jokes not copy and pasted shi9t
Probably because you are used to see all kinds of things in porn... Nothing is wrong in porn. Here in youtube if you have wrong coloured shirt people insult you about it.
The porn-hub community is the best, because noone can get angry with all the masturbation.
I like you and your ads. Thank You. "With girth you can open tight spaces, it's like a master key"
I'm the silent majority. And I'm sorry, bud. I love your channel and content. I needed to see this today. Your content is top notch, and trolls will always be trolls. (I'm about halfway through the video writing this).
Keep fighting the good fight, man. You're kick-ass. You and Salazar Studios are my favorite tech vloggers right now. You've surpassed Linus in my mind. You're doing great! Thanks for your videos, man!
P.S. I'm a RUclips red subscriber, so I don't see pre-roll ads, anyway. Been in since day one of the beta, and will constantly be paying. I know it's not the same. But it allows me to keep the green shield up top. lol
I'll never complain about your spot ads.
I'm glad that you have decided to make these videos. You are the most transparent PC builder ever. I have learned so much from your mistakes, that it is hard to say. Please keep up the honest content and the amazing quality, which you are offering us FOR FREE. MUCH APPRECIATED! (the assembly parts are the best, cause nobody else is showing from 0 to 100%, how are they doing, oh and of course the long term issues, which came up long after the assembly)
YOU ROCK!
Jason, this is my first comment here. There are guys who already said what I will write to you; Most of us usually don't even scroll down to the comments section, cause there are only shitty comments from stupid people who have time to waste writing shit to everyone. I love this frickin' channel, I swear, you could really make videos talking about SHIT, and I would LOVE IT ANYWAY. It's just about personality, I don't know you personally and you don't even knew before now that I am a person that exists, but, anyway, I will keep watching EVERY SINGLE VIDEO that you publish, just because something grow on me when I decided to subscribe to this channel! I think of you just as a friend of mine, just like the others, even though you don't know me! I will keep watching you till you will be here on RUclips, so I'll try to comment more often to let you notice that there are a lot of people who love your videos, even if they are SILENT, as you said. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I am 18 and I watch you from Italy! Just think of how far we are and how awesome it is that you have followers from all over the world. Just keep posting videos Jay, I am here with many others and I will stay here for quite a long time! :)
exactly! my friend :)
Alessandro3840 Never wrote a comment here but I can just agree. Jay is one of the best. Greetings from Germany
Same here bro. Greetings from South Africa.
I second the comment. Jay you have awesome content. Saludos from Puerto Rico.
Same here. Greetings from Switzerland.
I will never complain about your running ads in general. My only complaint (and it's not directed at you specifically) is when content creators run ads for products that are well known to be of poor quality, and in some cases even downright dangerous and/or hazardous and praise how great they are. I've only seen you do that once with the Norton ad.
Now this is meant to be constructive criticism. I know you aren't necessarily an NVidia shill or an AMD hater, but you do come across that way quite a bit by many of the comments you make about and towards AMD (although not as much as Jerry does). That might explain why you get so many comments about it. I see you as someone who tends to prefer Nvidia and EVGA products, but some (especially those let mature) folks might see it otherwise. Just something to think about.
cee128d my complaint is that you tube gives me local ads and they are all porely made
That's one of the reasons I use Ublock Origin to block those types of useless ads that I'm never going to click on anyway.
Personally I prefer it when adds are embedded in the video because for one they're almost always relevant and secondly I know that everyone that's watching the video is also seeing the add so I don't feel like my time's wasted when I sit through it.
Even in this serious video jays sense of humor always makes me laugh
I've always been told self employment where you work twice as much for half the pay in hope that you can make it be truly happy. The ones who make it have all of my respect
Well, I've spent the last 3 days watching dozens of your videos. You are my fav tech RUclipsr (sorry Linus, luv ya too!). I love your vids, love your humour, love your style. I don't have a job (was fired for taking care of sick wife), so I'm broke. Had to sell my car (Convertible 350z), lost our place (now rent), but I try never to let life get me down. Your success not only entertains and informs, but gives me hope that life will get better. You are living not just your dreams, Jay, but mine too. Thanks for the channel and for this video. Not sure if you'll read this in Oct 2018 but I had to say it.
Jay is probably one of the toughest and hard working people I know. He might not see this but I still wanted to say it
I don't use the like button for videos I like because it doesn't work like a like button. RUclips tracks your likes on puts them on a list you can access, that makes it more like a "favorite/bookmark" option. I use the like button like another favorite button., to save stuff I might want to watch another time. I wonder if anyone else has the same issue with how the like system works or it's just me?
bios47 I do the same omg!
bios47 I do the same too..
I always did that, then i decided to categorize them as playlists with labels so I can access them more easily than to go through all the liked videos to find a single damn video that i want to watch again.
bios47 OMG. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE ELSE DID THIS TOO!
I just don't care about the list of likes videos I have. There is favourites playlist and you can make more playlist's for that.
I always figured bigger youtubers don't read the comments much so if there's 100+ I never bothered but I'll make an effort to at the least drop a like. love you and your content Jay
also holy crap I knew you lost weight but I never knew it was that extreme. Kudos dude. I can't even get my lazy butt up to tone up
Yeah he's a real hero in the literal sense with how much weight he lost.
Yeah Jay's a shining example of how hard work and dedication can accomplish some wonderful things.
jay im one of the silent majority, here is your like and your positive comment. you do great work, your fx series videos especially helped bring life back into an aging pc and i had almost given up gaming because i can't afford to upgrade every six months like some people. your tech work is good, your kindness i've seen in videos is heartwarming. from a fellow person who was basically also tortured through school and finally stood up, i take shit from nobody. hell i just quit my job to pursue independent contracting because im sick of taking shit. its paying off in dividends. i love to see the realism in this video, and i support this honesty. im proud of you bro.
also, thanks to the move in jobs, ill probably finally be able to buy a *gasp* modern pc and actually enjoy this hobby for the first time in a long time.
i watched all 15min. and 25sec. of this video and i gota say, you should re-post this once a month, the internet tends to forget! id also like to say that i am sorry that i am part of your silent majority but something i can tell you that might make you feel a little better is that i watch ALL your videos for their content ONLY and i have never read the comments section so i had no idea the crap you have been putting up with. id like to hope that other people who just want to hear what you have to say don't give a shit about someone talking shit in the comments either! sorry you had to do this Jay, you have my full support on what EVER you do!
after reading a few other comments (and commenting on a few negative comments from people ;) id also like to add that i do not use add block either... haha dont know how and now im not going to figure it out haha
i hate you so much right now!
This needed to be said. Silent no more, a positive environment and feedback section is truly not much to ask for someone who genuinely cares about his viewers. C'mon silent majority, show some love.
Christian Bueche I did not know that positive comments were so welcomed. Naturally yes, but I didn't think that a simple "Great video" or something along those lines was appreciated.
The majority of us are guilty of watching many of our favorite RUclipsrs and not giving them any positive feedback or even a thumbs up. These guys need us to speak up, they have to gauge how people are reacting to their videos. Having a comment section infested with hate and negativity when you put your heart and soul into making these videos I believe would be heartbreaking. A simple "great video" just like any other act of appreciation or kindness can make someone's day.
Christian Bueche I am guilty of that. I use to comment all the time, but I've probably left 15-20 comments in the past 2 years. I do try to give them a thumbs up. I think that a lot of RUclipsrs should make videos like these to let people like us that positive comments are highly welcomed and appreciated.
You've lost 100 kg and people give you crap about your body?!?! As far as I'm concerned you are a success story that should be motivation for others.
Your comment about not being the silent majority hit me. Think I needed it.
Not much of a tech guy so hard to speak to that stuff but wanted to let you know my wife has lost close to 300lbs. I have lost about
100lbs. Good on you for accomplishing such a great feat. It's like you get your life back. You can be there more for your family and be a good example for others. My hat is off to you!
FYI I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot. Used to build systems back in the early to mid 90s but had been out of the loop until recently. Thanks again.
wow, i didn't realize that you have lost so much weight, well done man
LanceOLonginus yeah same here
LanceOLonginus same here bruh.....I saw the photo and i am like bruuuh!! ...I havent had motivation like this ever! Jay....bro....maaaaaaad respect fam!!! You are amazing! When I do come to the states I am doing a free shoot for you!!!!
ikr thats more than most people weight, really impressive work and resolve do ACTUALLY change your life-style not just say I will.
I have always respected you Jay, hope to see you around for a long time.
+1 jeremiah
I think it would be hard to read so many commits but people will always be negative to you whatever you do. Everyone loves you!!!!! Keep up the good work!
You are letting people really control you and how you feel. Just dont even both reading the commits.
Hey Jason, I just wanted to say that for what it's worth I think you are a truly amazing individual. I've only been watching you for about a month now and the level of passion, enthusiasm, information, encouragement, and overall enjoyment for all things Tech you try to convey with your videos (and that you no doubt embody yourself) is both amazing and very evident in them. You manage to keep your videos very informative while also preserving that sense of wonder, amazement, fascination people get from working with PCs/ Technology in general, not to mention throwing in a few extra gallons of humor to add to the experience. I really relate to the way you dealt with a lot of the hardships in your life as well as your initial shyness/introverted nature. I had actually put off trying to build my own PC for a long time because I didn't know where to start, didn't want to go out to forums in search of advice, and was very weary as to whether people in the PC building game would be friendly/willing to help or judgemental/impatient. I tried to learn as much as I could from watching other tech channels, but I always found myself struggling with the same concepts and a bit and confused at times. However, after finding your videos I was finally able to understand how a lot of it fit together. The way you explain things in a very down to earth yet still very informative manner really helped me to get back that "look of wonder" in my eyes that drew me to computers in the first place. I guess what I'm trying to say is that while I know there are those who wish to put you down simply for the reason that you happened to crack a smile and show the tiniest bit of happiness (and at times they seem to be everywhere), there are also those who truly appreciate what you do and owe a huge chunk of the enjoyment they get from building a PC (or just being on youtube/ the internet) to you and your videos and I am absolutely positive that their numbers far outweigh those of the haters. I know you said you probably won't read these comments and this video is kind of old now, but those are just my two cents. : )
As per you request, I will write a comment with the first thing that came to my mind. I can't even fathom the idea of someone dissing you about your body after seeing the effort you have put into your physical health. 100% of the time they are just jealous that they are incapable of such commitment, we've got your back, let those trolls drown in their jealousy.
Jay, I don't comment on videos, or even press the like button often. I was apart of the silent majority.
I will be that no longer.
Keep on doing what you believe in your heart.
Love ya buddy.
LETS GO JAYZ LETS GO, CHA CHA CHA! LETS GO JAYZ LETS GO, CHA CHA CHA!
PUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSYYYYYYYYYYrlythorlytho
same brah
Jay, you were right through out this video but the bit that really got to me was about the majority of your audience (nice people) not leaving any comments. I felt as though this really applied to me as i have loved 90% of your videos over the last year or two but i don't think i've ever left a comment on one of your videos. The work you have done the past few years has been great and i have loved (almost) every second of it. The reason why the comment section is so skewed across the whole of youtube is due to audience motivation e.g. if you like a video you're unlikely to say anything about it but if you dislike then you already have a comment ready in your head. Which is why i believe that this comment section truly represents your audience as you have given us a reason to raise our voices and give our opinion.
BTW Im ok with ads, i think linustechtips do their ads perfectly (short ad at the start with a longer more informational one at the end). I also completely agree with integrity being thee most important quality which is why i completely disagree with people who say your paid off for good reviews etc. , your work really does demonstrate to me how you feel about each product and not the brand that creates it.
Jay, I gladly watch the ads you have in your videos. The amount I have learned from you, far out ways the insignificant time spent watching the ads - especially since those ads give you the resources to not only keep making new content but also to support your family. Kudo’s to you for leaving money on the table to keep your integrity. The world would be a much better place if others had the same sense of morals.
For the people wondering the percentage of people blocking his full income, its 72%. Let that sink in.
After reading that comment I actually turned off adblock for youtube
I can't say i'm surprised. Most of his viewers are tech people.
Thats fucking crazy
Great vid J. Enough said...... Keep it moving at the speed of life.
It would be nice if youtube has more specific links for videos
I mean not like "youtube dot com slash some numbers and stuff"
But like "youtube dot com slash JayzTwoCents (for example) slash some numbers and stuff"
With links like these you could tell AdBlock not block Ads on specific channels, and not watch ads on some random videos
I recently deleted AdBlock completely
Little ads it's fine, i can take that
But oh my god then 2-3 min video Ad is coming up this is so bad, some of them are full music videos, this is like worst thing ever, especially cringy Russian ads
But hey, people are making content for me and for all of us, they deserve every cent they get from ads
I agree 100% with u Jay, people can't expect positive things if they're negative towards u, great vid man :)
I love people that went thru a tough life, cuz I feel I can only relate to those people
Jay you do great work and I always look for your reviews on pc products. Thanks and nice to see the internal thoughts of Jay.
oh and it made me subscribe.
Mike James same
***** he cant possibly be expected to tho. 5mill views on a video is a bit much to respond to all incoming mail. Just sayn
***** im in Australia mate lol, no idea about tnt or how good Oklahoma is, if i got that correct 😉 yeah I get you want his response but im still waiting for Brittany spears to sign my singles cd from 2001 aswell. Its a bloody shame 😂
Yea... I remember him saying that he won't read comments, and YES I subscribe to other Tech pages... My question wasn't to him of a Personal nature either but of the Tech issues that were NOT addressed upon in his video, but are important.
So... If he doesn't take the time to READ the comments, why is he so PISSED about the comments...
I'm not attacking ANYONE.
I just COMMENTED that this video was a poor choice to spend time on when there are more pressing issues for Subscribers... Oh jeez, let's say, like... VIDEO CARDS CATCHING ON FIRE.
I've just started getting into the PC community recently. I actually just built my first PC less than 3 weeks ago (i5 7600K / GTX 1080 woot woot). But prior to that build I'd watch countless vids about PC's from many different channels (mostly from yours) just to get a feel of what it is like to own a high end PC. I would vicariously enjoy the PC's that we're in those vids. I don't ever comment on videos either, I'd just run a playlist and go on a RUclips marathon. But I have to say, after watching this video and learning a bit more about your backstory, I've grown an even bigger respect for not just your channel, but you as a person. Keep up the great content!
