The funny thing is, the whole face thing is just a shitpost that went too far. No matter what it would never happen, I just egg on the viewers to give them false hope to keep their interest. To me it was a silly advertising thing, but it's funny to see how prominent that is in this video. I guess it worked.
hope you're doing well. Your videos really shaped a good part of my childhood and my interest in cars and gaming. Also your infra gameplay series was a masterpiece, i remember how much i was looking forward to each episode
I can't even picture where BeamNG would be without YBR, most likely nowhere near it is today! One thing is for sure though: I would not have started playing BeamNG, let alone create a Beam-related RUclips channel. If you're seeing this YBR, I just want to say thank you for all those memories, for introducing me into BeamNG and being one of the main reasons I started my channel. 🙌 And also thank you Bio for this great video, I definitely learned something new ;)
I agree bro/sister. :) YBR introduced me to BeamNG back in 2018-19, and it was cool stuff, as the game simulated cars and crash physics (cos science is cool bro). I do not run BeamNG myself, but he got me into CarPal & Muye, another set of Beamtubers. I guess you are a BeamNG guy also, so I'll check out your channel. Edit: I am glad that YBR went to college, and hope/pray for his success or wellbeing. That is much more important than running a YT channel, and I can wait a few years until he uploads again.
Just think, add up all the gameplay hours of everyone who got BeamNG because of WhyBeAre, it’s gotta be millions of hours of enjoyment just in association that he’s given people.
He is the reason I love games and the reason I started a channel and I wish I had made my channel later so I could get proper equipment to record and I hope his channel continues to grow
I watched YBR a lot in my early 20's due to my early adoption of BeamNG in 2014 and wanted to see what others were doing to get more fun out of the game and to see videos on every new updates. i miss this guy
i remember in 2015 (i was like 12 or so) trying to install it on my dads HP laptop that never got updated and it was lagging so much i think it caused issues to it lol.
You have absolutely no idea how happy this video made me. I grew up watching his videos and getting to see some of the thumbnails was just so heart throbbing. I miss the guy dearly and hope he's doing well to this day. Thank you for making a video about someone who truly deserves more recognition and support.
He has low self esteem and is scared people will view him negatively sadly this happens to a lot of us he honestly doesn’t look that bad like a normal dude.and sadly for no reason RUclips labels him as a terrorist and demonetizes his channel but he grew up and actually became a member of society getting a real job
Bro finally someone is making a documentary about this guy this man was amazing, i loved his content and he was the main reason i got a pc and a sim racing setup. unfortunately youtube kicked him in the butt so he wont be doing videos anymore. (and i have 200+ hours on beamng after a year)
I have vague memories of watching YBR videos on BeamNG a few years back. He wasn't the only one I watched, but it pushed me to bother my dad to buy me the game on his steam acocunt. I of course now have my own, but in grand total I now have over 800 hours in this game, and I'm far from burned out on it.
YBR is part of my early life. YBR has not only got me interested in BeamNG permanently, but also made me like cars alot more. YBR is one of the best channels for BeamNG, and has sparked my enthusiasm for cars alot.
WhyBeAre is the very person who got me into car culture in general. SLRR, Beamng, Wreckfest. And so many more games. I have watched *every single video*. He is the epitome of an idol for me.
Finally, an in-depth documentary on a legend. BeamNG would not be where it is today without him. I first found YBR in early 2015, and he first introduced me to BeamNG. To be honest, I was like 9 or 10 and was looking for car crash videos. Back then on RUclips, if you search car crashes or any variation of that, it would be irl car crashes, so getting a BeamNG video by YBR in my recommended was a blessing. It's sad how RUclips screwed him over with the demonetization and could not recover financially from it, forcing him to quit and find a real job. I'm honestly glad he's doing well in life. YBR was not appreciated as he should of been, the seamless editing that no one notices, the amount of research going into his mod reviews, and with his BeamNG update videos. There is still no other youtuber that can do a proper update video that goes in-depth with every change. I specifically waited for his update video to come out, before I owned the game and he just did the videos better than anyone else. It is sad that he eventually started to hate his job because of kids only wanting to see car crashes like all the other youtubers. Hopefully when he returns, he starts to make content he enjoys doing whether it's BeamNG or not.
Started watching him in 2012, I also appreciated how he also took the time to answer every single comment, made him feel human. WhyBeAre is the only youtuber I've genuinely seen want to succeed, the rest are just content farms to me. Maybe it's the human aspect to it and how he always interacted with his fans, or maybe how he's one of the RUclipsrs who helped put on BeamNG on the map. Anyway, good video with good pacing, keep it up!
The first video of WhyBeAre's I remember watching is him use Bolides as ramps on Endless Highway. From there, I watched him daily throughout middle school and early high. Had it not been for YBR, I wouldn't have played Automation, SLRR, Jalopy, My Summer Car, or even BeamNG - All of which (besides MSC) are my top-played games on Steam, collectively totalling well over 4,000 hours.
YBR got me into Beamng In 2017, in 2019 I got my own computer and the 5th game I asked for was Beamng. He made me love the game and it never gets boring.
I'm not sure when I started YBR, but I know I was young and I am no longer. So that gives a good idea! His videos were always good, and I was dissapointed to see RUclips making life difficult for him when he was fighting for his monetization. I'm looking forward to when he comes back as a more satisfied person ready to create something that they like and enjoy. Could be a new golden era for his channel even if it isn't a breadwinner like BeamNG was back in the day. I enjoyed the video. Keep it up!
I first watched YBR back in 2014, and he got me to buy BeamNG and Automation. It's a real shame that RUclips did him dirty by demonetizing him for some time for being a "terrorist." He was a wholesome RUclipsr uploading mod reviews and interesting gameplay videos. It would be great if he made a comeback in the future.
That video inspired me to end up making my own video on crash wheels when I was in middle school. I loved his content, and I didn't know any of this was happening until recently. It's really sad that this happened, but hopefully when he comes back he'll be much happier.
I LOVED the infra series so much, i really miss YBR this hit deep, I guess I never really thought this deeply about it and it hurts to know the full truth
I remember watching YBR in 5th or 6th grade (I graduated in 22) some of the earliest videos I remember watching from him was when the propane tanks first came out in Beam and he was blowing stuff up, and the pirate ship. There was also a game where you stranded on an island I watched him play, it was pretty good. I wanted to try and find him not long ago but I couldn't remember his name and thought he was one of those creators from my childhood that fade into oblivion and get lost forever. Glad to see he's still around
YBR was the first RUclipsr I ever watched on yt. I would not have inspiration to start my own yt channel and my childhood would probably be boring. Thank you so much YBR, I hope your find your way in life.
I started watching on his first rigs of rods video and started watching a lot, it was always the best feeling to have him reply to your comment, I started seeing things falling apart and I was really sad and I hope he is doing well. Beamng is my favorite game mostly due to him. I can't wait for his return
This guy introduced a lot of people to BeamNG, I think he played a significant part in building the BeamNG community. If it weren’t for him, this game might not have been anywhere near as popular as it is now.
im a bit late to this video, but I too grew up watching ybr, its great to see someone recognise him as the legend he is. Noone talks about him anymore I feel
I vividly remember watching a video of his driving a truck around with some really long trailers. I was obsessed with American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 at the time so I thought this was just like another version of that. A few minutes into the video he hit the branches of a tree and the truck was damaged by it. I was amazed by that little detail and instantly fell in love. It's still one of my favorite games to this day and I have over 230 hours in the game. I miss YBR because he introduced me to so many games as a kid and all of them have had a huge impact on me. I miss him a lot.
Only 230? I have over 2000-2500 hours in total on my banned acount and my new account lol, i might be addicted... and it's all bc of YBR man i miss this guy...
WhyBeAre, was one of the first channels i ever subscribed to, my intro to pc gaming, through beamng of course. I was probable 12 when i found his channel, im 20 now. I think the energy that you mentioned that, his commentary is like you're watching your best friend play the game. Its one of those moments where I was sad to see him leave but i know hes got some great goals to better his life and who am i to protest that. i know will probably see him back here in a few years time. He is the reason i have over 500 wonderfully entertaining hours in beamng,.
Ybr is the only reason why I know about beamng in the first place, which turned out to be my most favourite game. Ybr was a very big part of my childhood and it's genuinely sad to see such a good content creator leave the platform. However I feel happy for him that he is doing something he is happy in doing.
That guy is one of the reasons I got a steering wheel setup for my PC a few years ago. I ended up using that wheel to become a real life truck driver. I guess in a way, I can thank him for my choice in career.
I remember the very first video I seen of YBR playing BeamNG in 2014. I was waiting for my food at a restaurant that was notoriously slow (It's no longer in business, what a shocker) it's so hard to believe that was almost 10 years ago. YBR was the one person who convinced me to buy my first PC because of BeamNG, and I honestly couldn't ever go back to console lmao. I was really happy to hear that he was pursuing further education to help himself and his family. I'm so goddamn proud of him, and I only wish the best for him, regardless of whether he returns or not.
YBR introduced me not only to BeamNG, but to INFRA, which is one of my favorite horror games of all time (other than SIGNALIS) I truly miss his channel and hope one day he can return.
I started watching WhyBeAre in around 2015 or 2016. I remember watching all of his beaming videos. Ever since I had started watching WhyBeAre, I had wanted to get beamNG. Unfortunately I didn’t have a computer to run it off of. Luckily in 2019, I was able to get my first computer, so I was able to play beamNG. Every day since then, I have played beamNG non stop.
I Renember he made me get Beam on an old Laptop with AMD 4 graphics, can’t really renember the first video I watched, I do know the most renemerable video was the Pontoon add on to the D-Series. I used to watch him everday after school.
YBR brought me to BeamNG very very early on, back around 2013 when I was a little kid. I'd argue he alongside some other channels really popularized the game and helped it get to where it is now. He went into every last detail of BeamNG, which I loved since I'm very detail oriented, and there hasnt been anyone whose made the same type of content since. Through those videos and once I finally got a capable gaming laptop and later built a PC, I learned so much about cars that I now apply working on and driving my real cars that I now own.
BeamNG got to me through YBR, i ended up getting it a few years ago because every time i watched his vids i thought to myself "im gonna get this game someday..." in the end i got it and it was as amazing as i ever thought, getting better as updates go on. I have him to thank for introducing me to this game that led me down a rabbit hole consisting of INSANEGAZ and the like.
I remember coming home to a new video and watching it just because I loved his commentary and the way he was "so real". Ive actually been re-watching the Infra series, and been thinking of getting Infra. If I need a BeamNG mod, I'll check his video to see if the mod is still up to date.
YBR Helped me a lot during my darkest times in 2017, I wasn't allowed to have phone nor a PC due to school issues back then, most of my free time spent on watching him on my Cheap Smart TV Stick... I miss ya YBR..
YBR got me into two of my favorite games, INFRA and Beamng, and I've been watching him since about 2015. It's a shame what's happened to him but as long as he does what he likes that's all I care about.
YBR was the first beamng RUclipsr I watched, I was playing beam right before I started watching him in early 2014. Also help me, I have 5 thousand hours in beam.
I started watching ybr when i was 9 years old. Im 17 now, and i still find his videos entertaining. no other channels i watched back then can do this for me. he is also the reason i got into gaming and beamng, which i now have around 6500 hours in. YBR, if you see this, youve uploaded thousands of videos, we have no right to demand you make more. do what you think can assure your future, and if you someday come back to youtube, then i know one guy who will be watching.
I watched not only his BeamNG videos, but also some other games he played, like INFRA, Driver: San Francisco and Next Car Game, later renamed to Wreckfest. It's really sad what RUclips did to him and equally as sad that his attempts to move into being a variety gaming channel failed as his personality, or persona, is very addictive to watch
I truley wish him the best. One of my favorite youtube series was his Infra playthrough. I found him for beamng, and that is my favorite game ever since 2013, but it was clear he started getting sick of it. I hope if he ever comes back full time he can really get out there doing more of what he wants.
I'm not going to sit here and lie saying how I've watched a bunch of WhyBeAre's videos, but I do remember having a good amount of videos of his that I'd watch back to back just out of the sheer enjoyment they provided. I remember watching videos like the Cement demo derby vid and just loving it. I don't have Beamng myself or a pc to play it on, yet his videos have caused me to stay connected with the Beamng community and its updates. I also remember how I even used to watch some of his videos on other games like SLRR and a couple episodes of his Infra series. Wherever he is now, I hope the absolute best for him.
I remember being 13 14 and watching his beamNG videos i loved them and i was in my room for hours watching him play the maps and destroy the vehicles i also seen quite a few videos ive seen a while ago 😂
he is the main reason why I ever wanted to get into beamng and he made up a huge part of my childhood. to this day I rewatch his old videos over and over again. i hope everything works out well (for him) and best of luck to him!
First video I’ve ever watched by him is Baja Hills and I remember that day like it was YESTERDAY !!!that got me into racing games like CSR, Forza and Need for Speed and now after 8 years I finally have Beamng drive on my laptop and I could be happier (also I have 56 mods installed already😂😂)
I started watching YBR back in probably around 2015 or so. At some point, I kinda got burned out from his content where he would start some sort of time trial or challenge, but only commit half-heartedly to make it more likely to crash. The crash physics are amazing, but I realized I wanted to see more skilled driving, and ended up moving to the sim racing part of RUclips. That said, I still remember the time when I thoroughly enjoyed his content, and it's great that he's getting his life figured out.
I used to watch him all the time back then but it's good that he set off too do other things in life because there's a lot more to do then BeamNG but anyways hope for the best for him
Ybr got me into Beam, TABS, Cluster truck, Poly Bridge and more, he was my childhood. It’s so sad that he got dealt a shitty hand. I wish the best for him, and one day, he’ll return.
I started watching him during Covid, and he was the only reason I got through that, I must’ve watched every one of his videos. I even ended up buying beamng because of him, and I was devastated with how things turned out. I’m glad he’s going to school now and pursuing a career, I really respect that and hope he can succeed someday.
I started watching him around late 2013, early 2014, he was the first channel I found after discovering the existence of Rigs of Rods and then later BeamNG, this was back when my only source of internet was a Nintendo 3DS, his videos helped me through what I was going through at the time, up until he stopped uploading he was the only channel I'd come back to on the daily to see if there was a new video, I really liked the way he edited his videos, no one else on youtube purposely made the video look like it was all 1 take even though it actually wasn't
I started watching YBR in 2016. After a few months, I just stopped watching him for some reason. A year or 2 later, I rediscovered him, watching all of the videos that I had missed. I have seen every video from 2016. I never wanted to see a face reveal, I just wanted to watch him. He was my favorite youtuber, until discovering Dankpods a year ago. When he returns, I am sure he will return to my number one fav. He inspired me to create my own channel, though I don't use it much. The day the video came out saying that we had saved him, I was sick with covid, and it just made my day. When he said that he would indeed be coming back in a few years, my day went from a, on a scale of one to ten, -50 to 1000000000. His videos always make me happy, and I keep returning. His best series was, in my opinion, Infra. It was one of the few games he fully completed on his channel, and the only one to get a video several years later. I have always, and will always love his content. YBR, wherever you are, thank you for years of enjoyment.
wild how its been 9 years since iv started watching him honestly my favorite creator ever always loved his humor and aproach to life still remember the first vid i watched was of the D series monster truck mod i occasionally go back to it for fun. also loved his infra series watched it many times over and loved his content definitely gonna miss his content
When I watched that last video, it hit me when he asked if we really cared about him. I sat there for a bit thinking about all the years I’ve watched him. I really did enjoy watching others of his videos, and I liked beam the most, but I really just liked his funny commentary and his jokes and I loved his energy. It was awesome back in the good days when he was just happy and not being labeled as a terrorist. He’s literally everything but a terrorist. Even though I didn’t know him irl, I thought he was a good dude. I really miss him. The nostalgia hits lol.
Man I wanted to get a PC and play Beamng for myself for years after watching him. I have always considered becoming a Beamng RUclipsr just like him but have my own struggles just as he does. I hope he does return one day and starts doing what he wants to do on here.
YBR is the reason i ever bought beamng or a computer capable of running it And i believe he was the first channel i subscribed to on youtube I hope when he comes back he can start uploading games he actually wants to play Some of his other series were great to watch
back when I was 5, I saw his video about him doing this demo derby using some shoddily made joke mods, I loved his content and how he always managed to sound so upbeat and happy in his videos, it made him feel authentic and it had some charm to it. Sure there were other channels kind of like him, but the way he was just fucking around and finding out just made it all the more genuine to me imo. I'm 13 now, sure it isn't much, but considering I've been such a long-time fan; I can't help but smile seeing how people still know him even after his absence on youtube.
The funny thing is, the whole face thing is just a shitpost that went too far. No matter what it would never happen, I just egg on the viewers to give them false hope to keep their interest. To me it was a silly advertising thing, but it's funny to see how prominent that is in this video. I guess it worked.
hey man it's good to see your still around, thanks for the good times. best of luck in whatever your doing now.
Thanks for everything, As superwhine said it's cool seeing you around, and on the chance you read this, thank you for the memories, cheers.
hope youre doing well man, thanks for getting me into PCs and beamng
hope you're doing well. Your videos really shaped a good part of my childhood and my interest in cars and gaming.
Also your infra gameplay series was a masterpiece, i remember how much i was looking forward to each episode
yoooo hows the schools goin ybr
YBR was my childhood. He alone made me get a PC and got me into BeamNG and simulation gaming. I look up to him.
Me to!
Same bro
Same!

Yep me 100%
I can't even picture where BeamNG would be without YBR, most likely nowhere near it is today!

Same here he was the reason i played beamng. He gave me so much joy.
Thats what im saying, this man is a legend, massive part of my childhood...
The ybr situation is kind of sad, this man was my childhood, and now RUclips pretty much destroyed his career because of misinterpreting a video.
Finally, someone who recognizes what he did to many (including me)'s childhood.
mine too

Apparently he’s going back to school, which is great for him but it’s sad that he is basically gone from RUclips
I remember watching him like 7 or 8 years ago and he made me want to get beamng and i still play it to this day
Nice profile pic

He's the reason I play BeamNG
I got into BeamNG through Rigs of Rods and now I feel old 🥲

Is YBR’s beamng video popular to the people who watched it?
He has low self esteem and is scared people will view him negatively sadly this happens to a lot of us he honestly doesn’t look that bad like a normal dude.and sadly for no reason RUclips labels him as a terrorist and demonetizes his channel but he grew up and actually became a member of society getting a real job
Not to be mean to the dead, but I think he kinda saw himself as looking like Paul from mitten squad.

i wonder if he's ever gonna finish My Summer Car
U was watching him since 2015-16 just randomly remembered him and came back 😢
this whole situation was so bad, he was essentially my childhood.. that one crashwheels video is such a vidid memory
That video inspired me to end up making my own video on crash wheels when I was in middle school. I loved his content, and I didn't know any of this was happening until recently. It's really sad that this happened, but hopefully when he comes back he'll be much happier.
Literally.
He kept me so entertained when I was younger. I am very happy there’s other people who also remember this era
I LOVED the infra series so much, i really miss YBR this hit deep, I guess I never really thought this deeply about it and it hurts to know the full truth
Infra was absolutely my favorite thing he’s done, its so sad that it got so few views.

This guy introduced a lot of people to BeamNG, I think he played a significant part in building the BeamNG community. If it weren’t for him, this game might not have been anywhere near as popular as it is now.
im a bit late to this video, but I too grew up watching ybr, its great to see someone recognise him as the legend he is. Noone talks about him anymore I feel
I honestly don't remember when I started watching WhyBeAre I just remember he was one of the first creators I subscribed to and watched.
I vividly remember watching a video of his driving a truck around with some really long trailers. I was obsessed with American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 at the time so I thought this was just like another version of that. A few minutes into the video he hit the branches of a tree and the truck was damaged by it. I was amazed by that little detail and instantly fell in love. It's still one of my favorite games to this day and I have over 230 hours in the game. I miss YBR because he introduced me to so many games as a kid and all of them have had a huge impact on me. I miss him a lot.
Only 230? I have over 2000-2500 hours in total on my banned acount and my new account lol, i might be addicted... and it's all bc of YBR man i miss this guy...
WhyBeAre, was one of the first channels i ever subscribed to, my intro to pc gaming, through beamng of course. I was probable 12 when i found his channel, im 20 now. I think the energy that you mentioned that, his commentary is like you're watching your best friend play the game. Its one of those moments where I was sad to see him leave but i know hes got some great goals to better his life and who am i to protest that. i know will probably see him back here in a few years time. He is the reason i have over 500 wonderfully entertaining hours in beamng,.
Ybr is the only reason why I know about beamng in the first place, which turned out to be my most favourite game. Ybr was a very big part of my childhood and it's genuinely sad to see such a good content creator leave the platform. However I feel happy for him that he is doing something he is happy in doing.
That guy is one of the reasons I got a steering wheel setup for my PC a few years ago. I ended up using that wheel to become a real life truck driver. I guess in a way, I can thank him for my choice in career.
I absolutely miss his videos. he was the very first RUclips channel I ever started watching in 2012 and I really do hope the best for him
I remember the very first video I seen of YBR playing BeamNG in 2014. I was waiting for my food at a restaurant that was notoriously slow (It's no longer in business, what a shocker) it's so hard to believe that was almost 10 years ago. YBR was the one person who convinced me to buy my first PC because of BeamNG, and I honestly couldn't ever go back to console lmao. I was really happy to hear that he was pursuing further education to help himself and his family. I'm so goddamn proud of him, and I only wish the best for him, regardless of whether he returns or not.
YBR introduced me not only to BeamNG, but to INFRA, which is one of my favorite horror games of all time (other than SIGNALIS)
I truly miss his channel and hope one day he can return.
I started watching WhyBeAre in around 2015 or 2016. I remember watching all of his beaming videos. Ever since I had started watching WhyBeAre, I had wanted to get beamNG. Unfortunately I didn’t have a computer to run it off of. Luckily in 2019, I was able to get my first computer, so I was able to play beamNG. Every day since then, I have played beamNG non stop.
man i’ve been playing Beam since 2014 and i miss those early days ngl
It always amazes me how much disrespect and contempt this platform has for its creators.
I Renember he made me get Beam on an old Laptop with AMD 4 graphics, can’t really renember the first video I watched, I do know the most renemerable video was the Pontoon add on to the D-Series. I used to watch him everday after school.
Never thought I would see a documentary on YBR
YBR brought me to BeamNG very very early on, back around 2013 when I was a little kid. I'd argue he alongside some other channels really popularized the game and helped it get to where it is now. He went into every last detail of BeamNG, which I loved since I'm very detail oriented, and there hasnt been anyone whose made the same type of content since. Through those videos and once I finally got a capable gaming laptop and later built a PC, I learned so much about cars that I now apply working on and driving my real cars that I now own.
I remember watching ybr when i was 5, im now 15. He is the only reason i love cars and play beamng, watching this brings back so many memories
i started watching ybr when I was 6 thanks for making this video
i remember YBR's garbage day video.
it got deleted for no reason because of youtube accusing him of being a terrorist
God I almost forgot about YBR, he was whole early childhood
the second i saw ybr its like a sleeper agent was activated inside me
he was the second youtuber i ever subbed to, right after dantdm, right before smosh
BeamNG got to me through YBR, i ended up getting it a few years ago because every time i watched his vids i thought to myself "im gonna get this game someday..." in the end i got it and it was as amazing as i ever thought, getting better as updates go on. I have him to thank for introducing me to this game that led me down a rabbit hole consisting of INSANEGAZ and the like.
Great video man! I used to watch him daily when I was younger. Miss those times tbh.
I remember coming home to a new video and watching it just because I loved his commentary and the way he was "so real". Ive actually been re-watching the Infra series, and been thinking of getting Infra. If I need a BeamNG mod, I'll check his video to see if the mod is still up to date.
YBR Helped me a lot during my darkest times in 2017, I wasn't allowed to have phone nor a PC due to school issues back then, most of my free time spent on watching him on my Cheap Smart TV Stick... I miss ya YBR..
Around 2014 was when I found this legend, bro singlehandedly entertained me for a LONG time
I had stopped watching him for awhile, I didn’t know he was in such a distressed state, I feel very bad for him.
YBR got me into two of my favorite games, INFRA and Beamng, and I've been watching him since about 2015. It's a shame what's happened to him but as long as he does what he likes that's all I care about.
YBR was the first beamng RUclipsr I watched, I was playing beam right before I started watching him in early 2014. Also help me, I have 5 thousand hours in beam.
YBR was one of my childhood youtubers and one of my favorites at that, feel bad for what happened to him😊
i literally watched every single one of his videos and i SOBBED when he stopped posting
I loved his coverage of updates, i miss his videos.
YBR is my childhood
I remember watching Ybrs newest video. It’s 8 years old now…
I started watching ybr when i was 9 years old. Im 17 now, and i still find his videos entertaining. no other channels i watched back then can do this for me. he is also the reason i got into gaming and beamng, which i now have around 6500 hours in. YBR, if you see this, youve uploaded thousands of videos, we have no right to demand you make more. do what you think can assure your future, and if you someday come back to youtube, then i know one guy who will be watching.
Ybr was the person who helped beamng to become mainstream sad to see him go off platform
I watched not only his BeamNG videos, but also some other games he played, like INFRA, Driver: San Francisco and Next Car Game, later renamed to Wreckfest. It's really sad what RUclips did to him and equally as sad that his attempts to move into being a variety gaming channel failed as his personality, or persona, is very addictive to watch
he's the reason why i got beamng. i loved his videos
Seeing this video documenting YBR makes me happy. Sadly Till this day, I've never been able to get a PC but one day hopefully 😊
YBR is the reason BeamNG is popular. I think BeamNG needs to hire him as a media director or something
ybr was my childhood. started watching around 2016 and made me get beamng!
man thank you so much for this great video mate YBR is one of the legends and i loved him so much for the past 5 years and i hope he is fine
I truley wish him the best. One of my favorite youtube series was his Infra playthrough. I found him for beamng, and that is my favorite game ever since 2013, but it was clear he started getting sick of it. I hope if he ever comes back full time he can really get out there doing more of what he wants.
The effort that has gone into this video is 🔥
I'm not going to sit here and lie saying how I've watched a bunch of WhyBeAre's videos, but I do remember having a good amount of videos of his that I'd watch back to back just out of the sheer enjoyment they provided. I remember watching videos like the Cement demo derby vid and just loving it. I don't have Beamng myself or a pc to play it on, yet his videos have caused me to stay connected with the Beamng community and its updates. I also remember how I even used to watch some of his videos on other games like SLRR and a couple episodes of his Infra series.
Wherever he is now, I hope the absolute best for him.
i used to watch ybr when he first started his beamng series
I remember being 13 14 and watching his beamNG videos i loved them and i was in my room for hours watching him play the maps and destroy the vehicles i also seen quite a few videos ive seen a while ago 😂
Also wbrs infra series is a goldmine, I recommend watching it
he is the main reason why I ever wanted to get into beamng and he made up a huge part of my childhood. to this day I rewatch his old videos over and over again. i hope everything works out well (for him) and best of luck to him!
First video I’ve ever watched by him is Baja Hills and I remember that day like it was YESTERDAY !!!that got me into racing games like CSR, Forza and Need for Speed and now after 8 years I finally have Beamng drive on my laptop and I could be happier (also I have 56 mods installed already😂😂)
I started watching YBR back in probably around 2015 or so. At some point, I kinda got burned out from his content where he would start some sort of time trial or challenge, but only commit half-heartedly to make it more likely to crash. The crash physics are amazing, but I realized I wanted to see more skilled driving, and ended up moving to the sim racing part of RUclips. That said, I still remember the time when I thoroughly enjoyed his content, and it's great that he's getting his life figured out.
I used to watch him all the time back then but it's good that he set off too do other things in life because there's a lot more to do then BeamNG but anyways hope for the best for him
Ybr got me into Beam, TABS, Cluster truck, Poly Bridge and more, he was my childhood. It’s so sad that he got dealt a shitty hand. I wish the best for him, and one day, he’ll return.
I started watching him during Covid, and he was the only reason I got through that, I must’ve watched every one of his videos. I even ended up buying beamng because of him, and I was devastated with how things turned out. I’m glad he’s going to school now and pursuing a career, I really respect that and hope he can succeed someday.
He is the entire reason i bought beamng and bought a PC, will always remember watching the one with the sledgehammer and covet
I started watching him around late 2013, early 2014, he was the first channel I found after discovering the existence of Rigs of Rods and then later BeamNG, this was back when my only source of internet was a Nintendo 3DS, his videos helped me through what I was going through at the time, up until he stopped uploading he was the only channel I'd come back to on the daily to see if there was a new video, I really liked the way he edited his videos, no one else on youtube purposely made the video look like it was all 1 take even though it actually wasn't
I started watching whybeare back in the early RoR days, he always made my day when i came back from school and watched his videos
Started watching him around 2016
MY CHILDHOOD BEAMNG RUclipsR!!!!!!!!!
Loved YBR for so long. Always watched him and loved how he would even quickly explain how he was setting something up.
I started watching YBR in 2016. After a few months, I just stopped watching him for some reason. A year or 2 later, I rediscovered him, watching all of the videos that I had missed. I have seen every video from 2016. I never wanted to see a face reveal, I just wanted to watch him. He was my favorite youtuber, until discovering Dankpods a year ago. When he returns, I am sure he will return to my number one fav. He inspired me to create my own channel, though I don't use it much. The day the video came out saying that we had saved him, I was sick with covid, and it just made my day. When he said that he would indeed be coming back in a few years, my day went from a, on a scale of one to ten, -50 to 1000000000. His videos always make me happy, and I keep returning. His best series was, in my opinion, Infra. It was one of the few games he fully completed on his channel, and the only one to get a video several years later. I have always, and will always love his content. YBR, wherever you are, thank you for years of enjoyment.
wild how its been 9 years since iv started watching him honestly my favorite creator ever always loved his humor and aproach to life still remember the first vid i watched was of the D series monster truck mod i occasionally go back to it for fun. also loved his infra series watched it many times over and loved his content definitely gonna miss his content
When I watched that last video, it hit me when he asked if we really cared about him. I sat there for a bit thinking about all the years I’ve watched him. I really did enjoy watching others of his videos, and I liked beam the most, but I really just liked his funny commentary and his jokes and I loved his energy. It was awesome back in the good days when he was just happy and not being labeled as a terrorist. He’s literally everything but a terrorist. Even though I didn’t know him irl, I thought he was a good dude. I really miss him. The nostalgia hits lol.
Man I wanted to get a PC and play Beamng for myself for years after watching him. I have always considered becoming a Beamng RUclipsr just like him but have my own struggles just as he does. I hope he does return one day and starts doing what he wants to do on here.
YBR is the reason i ever bought beamng or a computer capable of running it And i believe he was the first channel i subscribed to on youtube
I hope when he comes back he can start uploading games he actually wants to play
Some of his other series were great to watch
Thank you for helping me find this channel again!
back when I was 5, I saw his video about him doing this demo derby using some shoddily made joke mods, I loved his content and how he always managed to sound so upbeat and happy in his videos, it made him feel authentic and it had some charm to it. Sure there were other channels kind of like him, but the way he was just fucking around and finding out just made it all the more genuine to me imo. I'm 13 now, sure it isn't much, but considering I've been such a long-time fan; I can't help but smile seeing how people still know him even after his absence on youtube.
