Hi
ok
Nice
Bro we can not use tik tok using vpn in india .
Nor vpn
Here's the thing. TikTok cannot be accessed in India, even with a VPN. The app recognises that you're in India based on the cellular connection.
@@SlushiFoxEdits nope. The only way to access it is removing your simcard from your device.
time to move to india
i use vpn on my pc so ez to open tiktok😎
same thing in russia, i have bypassed it but still afraid to lose access.
I wish tiktok would be banned everywhere it is so shitty. so many wrongs on there. half nude girls, real nude girls, very addictive, and the most time cosuming thing there is. It also promotes random arguements like people saying being fat is ok, random sexism to men and woman, and worst of all these things are all random because the way the site Is built anyone with any type of shitty mindet doing dumbass shit can be influencer. It also has brainwashed many young males and females to doing trends or to act a certain way. LIKE DEPRESSION IS A TREND, BEING FAT IS A TREND, THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO BECOME POPLUAR TO BRAG TO THE 2 KIDS IN THEIR SCHOOL THAT CARES. STOP LIVING IN A FUCKING BUBBLE AND DELEATE ALL SOCIALS. All that being said tiktok also promotes and is one of the leading factors of this youths shorter life and attention span. Life for making them doing stupid things that will get them killed and attention span for the short videos and endless scrolls. Our attention span is now less than a gold fish. The average is now 2-3 seconds and that is counting all the others in the world as well so some people have the average attention span OF A MILLISECOND. If you had anyother thoughts in the time reading this you have a short attention span or you take longer than 10 mins to read like 50 words either way very bad. Go on a detox or something just get your shit together bottom line.
WAKE UP FROM THE MATRIX AND HOP IN REALITY MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELF DON"T SNOOP DOWN TO BEING A MORON FOR SOME CLICKS AND VIEWS GO DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE PLEASE I BEG YOU. IT SADDENS ME TO SEE THIS WORLD LIKE THIS.
I am only 13 but understand enough to realise that tiktok, porn ,(some cases aka addiction) video games, and all social medias including youtube are bad. I have wasted months of my life on tiktok and youtube shorts and trying to please my percived audiance for clout and to be famous while falling in line with modern day people who have fallen fools to mental slavory don't get caught in porn, video games, social medias.
I hate everyone that promotes the usesage of porn , and/or social medias mostly tiktok the only exceptoin is youtube but not youtube shorts I hate everyone that promotes the usesage of porn , and/or social medias mostly tiktok the only exceptoin is youtube but not youtube shorts
I remember having the u2 album but had no idea how it got there. This is crazy like I learned a lifelong personal mystery from a stranger
I guess you didn't have the internet?
Followed this story as it happened back when it actually happened & all the backlash.
Same
I used to love listening to the only songs on my moms iphone which were from the U2 album "songs of innocence"
Some phones came with a U2 album... some promotional collaboration
This unlocked a core memory for me. I was so mad about that U2 album. I remember googling how to get rid of it- and I found a “hack” to make a playlist of all your songs, except that album. I had a playlist called “everything except U2” lmao
Yep
BRO SAME FOR ME, I didnt like it and had no idea why it was the only thing downloaded
U2 was good in the 1980s-2000s. Their 2010s stuff wasn't as good. :) However, Martin Garrix collabed with Bono in 2021, and that sounded amazing. It was kind of sad that Apple didn't allow folks to delete the 2014 album... Industry planting is a strange concept, when the U2 album should have been PWYW like In Rainbows (I need to listen to that album, cos am only in my 20s).
damn, i remember listening to one of their songs called "california" all the time, not because i wanted to listen to it, but rather, like you said, it was free, and iTunes was the only streaming platform i knew of at the time
never heard of them period nor itunes, but to be fair i was born 02 didnt start using a computer till i was 5 which was in 07 so all i knew was youtube
@@LyraPyxisVT bro still, how have you never heard of iTunes before?
@@tdsjgwrihugw cause when i was little itunes was just not something i wasnt exposed to, as a 5 year old i was only allowed to go onto kids sites or youtube, i couldnt go on anything else so in that age no i didnt know it existed, in my early teens i did but not as a small child
That was my favorite song off the album. Brings back memories
I had no idea about most of this so this was really cool. Keep it up
Thanks!!
@@JackGordon Your videos make my day much better I love them!
Same here
U2 is an absolutely legendary band. They didn’t “need” Apples help. They just had a great partnership opportunity.
YOU'RE SO UNDERRATED! congrats on the sponsor btw.. keep it up
Also smoothest transition into the sponsor segment.

Funny enough, I didn’t hear about the songs of innocence controversy until a year after it got released, because I actually liked the album and never needed to delete it.
Me too, it didn’t cloud transfer to my new phone and I even went out of the way to install it.
I can't believe the level of production and retention skills you put into every video nice work
Hi rasplin!
Takenine reference
💀
I remember being like 4 and the first song I heard on my ipad was California by U2. At this point I know like all of their songs by heart cuz I've heard them SO MANY TIMES. I never knew why U2 was on iTunes (always thought my parents downloaded it on accident), so thanks for the video.
Oh my gosh. Now I understand the reason why this is the album that plays every time my mom plugs her phone into the car. I had asked her before why she had bought it, but she said she didn't remember buying it. It all makes sense now!
Never heard of industry plants. Thanks for another great video Jack!

@Tisutah lolll
Things like that have been a problem for ages. They used to outright pay DJs to play specific artists as part of their promotional scheme, even if the artists weren't the best.
@Z 4747 I"m skeptcal that there are any recognizable artists that aren't industry plants at this point. Most of the real artists aren't signed.
bro when he showed that album cover my brain exploded😭 i remember being so upset because i couldn’t figure out why that was constantly playing on my phone
6:07 because that’s the microphone :) it’s the same on iPhone nowadays, check if you don’t believe me. The left holes are for the mic.
Oh my god, after like 8 years, I finally have the answer to why that album was on my ipod touch in 2014.
Great video dude
haha 6 likes
haha 12 likes
haha 16 likes
yoyo my brother loves ur vids
All of this was so informative and amazing!
Thanks for the video Jack 😉💜
That feeling when you absolutely LOVE The Miracle (first song from the album) and you recognize the blurred album cover right away lol
4:01 that echo gives off such an eerie vibe
I remember this album randomly appearing on my iTunes. I hated the album so much that now it is a struggle for me to even listen to the good U2 songs because I feel like they hurt me personally for doing that. Like I'm still holding that grudge over them
This video is great!!! It’s crazy because even U2 fans hated on that album a lot, but it was the one that made me fall in love with U2 in the first place (at the age of 11) because it was on my first iPhone (iPhone 4s). So yeah, it actualled worked for U2. Maybe not in the way the intended to, but it worked. Nice job Jack, please don’t stop it.
Yes same
i though it was gonna be a rickroll.
Love the way you pulled early internet into today and connected it all together. Full circle!
WHYYYY does this guy not get more views he makes consistent amazing content!!??
8:55 I’m 25 and him holding an AV cable and saying “I don’t even know that this cord is” made me feel 65. Idk if he’s serious or not, but just in case, that’s a HDMI cord but not for HD. An artifact from the days of “standard definition”.
Just trying to make you feel better. As a 19 year old, I remember using the rca composite cables to play on my PS2.
My 17yo cousin knows what floppy disks are. Dont feel that bad.
Interesting information presented in a very cool way and the typical style you have. Thanks for posting, Jack! 👍
I love how you are everywhere lol
This guy’s production quality, editing, etc., is INSANE
I Remember seeing the album photo on my ipad 2. You cleared my doubt
Fantastic videos man! Appreciate the time and effort!
I remember the U2 album. I just went on one day and was confused as to what it was. I didn’t delete it until a couple years later because I kept forgetting. Was unaware of its backstory lol
my personal opinion on what’s the most popular song is the guy who will never give you up
Would have loved if you have mentioned the streaming-exclusive albums that came out. Chance, Drake, Jay Z, Beyoncé, etc…
That transition to the sponsor was so smooth… This guy is amazing at setting up his videos.
Keep up the amazing work!
My dad has that album in his iphone, since every time we get in the it connects automatically, I listened it a lot, I really liked California and Every Breaking Wave
2:30 🕝 That voice crack though 💀.
6:05 Fun fact, older Apple products only came with the 1 speaker on the bottom side of the phone. They had identical grills because…it looked nicer. That’s literally it; it’s not the fact that the speaker “didn’t work”, there was just simply never a speaker on that side. I only found this out recently.
the other side is the mic...
@@3DPrinterAcademy I thought it was the innermost part of the grill closer to the charger port on either side that was the mic.
It’s still like that! Except on iPad, of course
Wow, that's really interesting! Great video as usual Jack!
The quality of this video is honestly incredible you deserve more susbcribers 😃😃
I remember opening my really old iPad from 2011 a few months ago and opening iTunes to see "U2" in my library and being really confused... Who knew there was this much lore?!
i remember all the drama about this at the time. forcing content onto people's devices is NOT okay.
I so wish to know how you got raised so well by your family :) you're a genius being allowed to develop on its own fast pace !
At the end that vpn challenge was hilarious. Lol I can't believe I say through that whole thing . Good job jack. You figured out how people work
I remember seeing the album when i used to play with my mum's old phone as a kid and was always confused why it was there, it feels so weird finding out why it was there 😂
You're really one of the most underrated RUclipsrs
Not for much longer. He's doing EVERYTHING right.
Hey Jack! Great video and well done! Keep up the work, my man!! :)
How to turn a 30 second tic tok idea into 9 mins of RUclips. Anyone else remember the music that came with Windows XP? Beck, David Byrne, Highway Blues?
I remember for 10 years every damn day my dad turned on car ready to go to school the album immediately started playing, drove us madddd
Wait! you never followed up with story B... Did you get the pen-pineapple world record?!?
No 😭
@@JackGordon, You had so much potential. Keep trying.
rip technoblade long live to the king of Minecraft
ive had my older ipad for YEARS and never understood how that album got there. the album is still on the device to this day.
When I first got my iPod Touch 5th gen MANY years ago, all I did was listen to that album. I didn't have any other music because I was a kid without money. To this day, I think I've listened to it more than any other albums because of this.
I'm learning so much from this video and I'm not even halfway done!!!
You unpacked a lot, Jack! Pretty good ending too. Keep it up!
That album was in my dad's phone for years!,it was even his home screen too
Bro love the content, can’t wait to see u hit 1m on RUclips and TikTok
I like the energy he gives off, very reminiscent of Vsauce
Vsauce4
I read the title as I wrote the most popular song in history 💜😂💜
You know this is a Jack Gordon classic
I remember when U2's album used to be on every apple device for some reason, and i still don't know why.
i looooove you jack it is very informational videos!
who else thought he was talking about Never Gonna Give you up from Rick Astley 💀
Me
i just want to take a sit back really quickly and say you've got the presentation power of early =3 Raw William Johnson, the clarity and straightforwardness of Disrupt, and the jokes and comedic timing of Mark Rober all mashed into one package here, and i am a huge fan of that
I love raw william johnson
6:05 the left grill is a microphone
so THAT'S how that gay album cover ended up on my dad's computer
Great video, and rip technoblade 🙏🙏
Oddly enough, we never had this album appear in our libraries. Our Apple ID is from 2011 and that album never appeared in our music library and it still isn't there to this day.
Thank you for never giving us up or ever letting us down.
Thank you for the video, you are doing tremendous job! As a music guy I just wanna say the album is nothing special, but one song called The Troubles is actually very good.
Technoblade never dies! Fly high king!

Imagine giving out an album for free before Spotify and having it make you look bad
I love on the thumbnail all the building in the background are covered in the album cover 😂. This was the only album I listen for a whole year, I loved it 😂
This man deserves more subscribers
Great video Jack! I will say that I would cut out a lot of the fluff though, like at 2:47, 4:55, and 5:54. Overall great video, keep it up!
I thought that those parts were great. He was both informative and felt like he is connecting with the audience
@@DummyChannel Yeah I personally liked it as well but a lot of new viewers probably think it’s boring so sometimes it’s best to cut it out for retention
This so interesting! In 2014 i was really young but i was allowed to use my moms phone for music, and I remember seeing that album there. But, my mom was always a HUGE U2 fan (not so much anymore lol) so I figured that was just her music. I wonder if she knows about this. Great video!
1:42 "Have you ever heard of U2?" Me thinking of the plane from area 51: "Yeah, but what does that have to do with this?"
lol
so what’s the fucking song
WARNING WASTE OF TIME
HE DOSENT GIVE A SONG NAME ITS ALL ABOUT IPHONE AND THE U2 ALBUM
So many different things happen and brought stuff to improve
Mom can I get RUclips: we already have RUclips at home
RUclips at home: u2
HATE THESE CLICKBAIT VIDS WHERE u don’t SAY WHAT IT IS FOR LIKE HALF THE VID!
nah fr ian tryna watch the whole video
@@bjorkcuteong..
This reminded me of another video I watched recently!! called "the illigal rise of spotify" and it talks about how the free music is bad for the music artists and well- everything about spotifies(?) creation and discourse (I would say more but I dont want to spoil it).
I highly reccomend watching it especially as it ties into this video!
Dude, your content is the best!!!
DUDE THAT SONG WITH THE TWO DUDES KEEP ON PLAYING EVERY TIME MY DAD CONNECTS HIS PHONE TO THE RADIO!
THE SONG I REMEMBER IS THE ONE THAT GOES VOLCANOEEEE!!
There was so many times I was gunna click off this video, mostly cos I knew about the U2 thing already, but you kept grabbing my attention and your video was entertaining. Ended up watching the whole thing- good job 👏🏽👏🏽
This video is so well edited
Me and my dad still listen to U2
I think the band's quite amazing and their songs are just on power with Crosby Nash and Eagles
I remember when this happened. My dad, who's a high school teacher, found out and the day of told his students he put an album on their phones to listen to and they all freaked out lol.
my father used to love that band and i grew up listening to them in the car on my way to school
6:09 the other one isn’t a speaker, it’s the microphone, do the same thing on newer iPhones, it’s the same
I remember when I was younger I went on my iPod to listen to kidz bop and a U2 album randomly was in my owned albums and now I finally know why
I still have this album on my iPad, it just downloaded itself again one day. It still pops up when my iPad glitches and starts playing my music instead of my RUclips video or podcast when using my Bluetooth headphone controls when the app is open. (Just got a new iPad so we’ll see if it pops up again). Like I know I could remove it but it’s just so inconsequential and I’m always in the middle of something when I’m reminded it’s still on there😂
i remember listening to "The miracle of joey ramone" and "raised by wolves" all the time
My dad has that album still saved but it's kinda darker but it still plays
i literally remember seeing this album when i was looking on itunes when i got a phone when i was young. i used to listen to this album so much just because it was free and i could its so weirdly nostalgic even tho its def not my style of music
When I got an iPad pro I found this album on my ancient iTunes account, I’d completely forgotten this had happened until I was forced to recall it.
I love U2 and i still listen to them now
When I saw the blurred album cover I instantly knew it was U2
my dad had this album and i remember listening to it on a plane because there was nothing else to listen to
I actually listen to U2 almost every road trip because it just brings so much nostalgia to me.
