"His videos aren't the same" "They're boring now" "They're not as funny as they used to be" Seriously? Of course, they aren't the same he's taking a different path right now. They aren't meant to be funny? They're informational and cater to people who want to discover new things. He loves filming and filming is not just sitting behind a camera and eating bad baby food. It's showing different perspectives. He wants more. Support him or go find a youtuber who entertains your needs. It's a click away and leaving negative comments won't get you where you want to be any faster.
EXACTLY. He grew up. He's doing awesome, creative, and inspiring things. He's not 20 years old talking about "types of people in high school." He's doing great things.
Well i think i dont know he its not more funny o is but not too much but youtube is another social media to shear your apinion about some topics and stuff he only post random things that he thinks help and inform the society XD however is my opinion about his chanel
Kyndal Harp Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I think people that still do silly things just for entertainment just haven’t grown up. If that’s their thing, fine. But Jack and his family are a hugely talented and creative family. As a creative, he wants to use his skills and creativity to bring light to issues he cares about such as global warming. He is 27 now, he has to grow up someday and it’s not fair for some people to assume that he will never change. As I recall a saying, change is the only constant in life, accept it.
These two are going to school. Just reminding you people. It is not easy to juggle everything at once, especially when school is a major factor. The projects that Jack and Finn are partaking in is really admirable. It goes to show that they are not trying to be the cliche youtubers but actually two boys who are trying to make a change in this world or help out in some manner. That is a really mature thing to be doing at such a young age. Also, I definitely do not think that these two are leading a 'mediocre' life. They are obviously quite busy, running from one thing to the next. Just because they don't film every second of everyday doesn't make them boring or simple. I think you two have a lot to be proud of Jack and Finn! :)
Wow. It's now 00:13, I've been subscribed since yesterday morning and I can say I've watched every single video on this channel in a single day. I just loved seeing Jack and Finn evolve through these last years. You both started as inexperienced teenagers and you're now young adults who seem to have seen and lived a lot of amazing stuff. Your videos make me want to travel around the world and make changes around me. I went through many emotions while watching these. This definitely became one of my favorite channels on RUclips. Keep up the good work, this is amazing.
Glad you're back again. So weird you did this debate. I'm involved in a debate at my University tomorrow on the same kind of matter and as a RUclipsr myself they want me to be part of the debate! So cool to hear about yours!
Rachel Byrnes Ikr!! when you know someone for yeeeears before they go all big....and you supported them for what they do and you really believe in them; then all of a sudden, they become big, and EVERYBODY start loving them, even the ones who mocked you for loving youtubers or making youtube videos yourself..... and they just love them because of 1 or 2 videos, and they say "OMG!! I love his face.... I want to marry him.... I ship him with Dan and bla bla bla" -_-
I absolutely love RUclips but I hate the idea of it being the dominant broadcasting medium. RUclips has already got to the point where giant companies and corporations are trying to worm their way in and I just worry that even more success for RUclips makes it a profitable target for people who don't understand it. RUclips should always be about normal people with a camera, ever since money was introduced into RUclips it has already become full of people try to cheat, lie and shortcut their way to the top, bring in more money opportunities and I don't see it being a good thing. This is all speculation though.
That is the first thing I thought of when he asked the question, I love youtube but I really don't want it to be dominant just because the beauty of it is how natural it is.
If it does become our main source of media I do hope we can keep it raw. Big companies can come in and take over, but we the people are watching it. We all have a voice. We are the creators, the commentators, the ones who share the content and without us RUclips isn't sustainable. Just as TV isn't sustainable without the views.
Speaking as someone who uploads videos on RUclips, my argument is slightly biased toward the internet. The reason television is seen as a better medium of entertainment is that it's more established and that you're usually more comfortable when watching it (rather than at a computer). However, with the advent of internet televisions, RUclips could overtake mainstream entertainment in popularity. This probably won't happen though,at least not for a good number of years as the ease of access on standard TV is a whole deal, well, easier. You don't have to search and find the video you're looking for. However, RUclips does give the viewer a lot more freedom in how and when they watch. TV is like VHS and RUclips is like DVD - it's just the evolution of entertainment. Don't know how to wrap this up, and I've already written too much, but, yeah. Das wut I tink innit.
Sabrina Suminski The thing is, this same argument was held 50-60 years ago about radio - the previous dominant form of entertainment - and television. And look at radio now, it's still around and whatnot but it's nowhere near as popular.
I agree with you, Jack. RUclips and T.V. are two completely different platforms. There really isn't much sense in comparing them. However, I do believe that in the past 2 years or so the RUclips community has grown drastically and will continue to grow because of the amazing content being produced by lovely RUclipsrs such as you and Finn, and many others. I personally watch videos on here as much as, or even more than, I watch T.V. But I do love both platforms of creative content and will always support them both.
Jack and Finn are clearly perfectionists, it may take a while for them to upload a video, but when they do it's certainly worth the wait. Although I feel as though the fanbase is hungry for a regular feed and would rather have lower quality videos but more frequently. Natalia Hans-Lee TheSoapylicious
Lizzie Monsreal Yes! And it's not because we don't want to spread the RUclips awesomeness, but we feel kind of special... the content made by all the youtubers it's done having the susbcribers in mind (no matter if are a lot or just a little).
I don't even watch tv anymore RUclips is all I watch and TV is so old I honestly think broadcasters will move to Internet as it is used more and more through out
I miss these kind of videos, it makes me feel nostalgic every time I think about the twins I was also young back then I would be so happy every time jack would upload a new video. Now I feel much more grown up just like them... They’ve become so inspirational young men and did phenomenal advocacy as environmentalists!
Right what i believe is that RUclips will never overtake tv and tv will never overtake RUclips. THEY ARE DIFFERENT THINGS. You also have to remember that TV is locked in to contracts where as RUclips, well it could be all switched off with one button people loose interest easily where as TV will always be TV and will always be there. I know RUclips is a great place but there are some things that could go wrong! I hope RUclips can become a much more stable environment for content creators like myself so we don't have to worry about one day everybody loosing interest.
I think it's nice that you're changing the style of your channel. You may be losing some of your old subscribers but i'm sure you'll gain a new and more mature audience! Good work :)
I'm so happy to see new videos!! ^-^ As to the argument TV and RUclips *are* quite different things and I think they draw people for those different things usually. I don't know how to exactly compare them since they apply to separate things in my mind I do think that RUclips is getting steadily bigger :)
I still like Jacksgap but something about it isn't the same. It's like it's more.. "business" than personal. Can't really describe it. I'm not hating on it at all but still.
I feel like his content now actually has meaning behind it. It isn't silly videos anymore it has thought behind it and causes chain reactions whether that's for a charity or inspiration. These videos aren't just videos that are simply watched and enjoyed they are videos that do something and have an impact.
***** what's changed is that his channel is not anymore about him, but about his films; Jacksgap has become the media where Jack, Finn and the rest of Jacksgap gang share their content, read the new banner. I think it's fantastic, i really like the fact they are sharing their passion with us. Someone once posted "My poetry blog is more personal than my personal blog," what i mean by showing this example is that when sharing our projects, writings, and films, we say more about ourselves and the way we see the world, than when we say things sitting on front of a camera doing tags, jokes, or even -talking- about ourselves. when someone shares something very intimate, like it is sharing your poetry, or your own films, in a way it makes you feel closer, because they are taking a risk, they're are putting something that is theirs, that came from their inner selves, in a place for everyone to criticise it and share their opinions about it, and everything that people say is not directed to the "project itself" but directed to the creator, and its creativity, opinions, and sense of life. If someone knowing this still has the courage to do that, i appreciate it a lot, because is a deeper connection, ya feel?
What is TV? It is the box on which you watch shows being broadcast, is it the programs being broadcast, or is it the conduit between the programs and the box? I have reached a point where I think of RUclips as a _part_ of TV because I think of TV as the collection of programs I watch on my screen. I don't foresee RUclips becoming dominant, but I do see it as a vital part of TV's future. It will have a place for most people alongside their traditional broadcast/cable programming and their subscription video services. In that way, RUclips will help TV become a far richer experience for more people than it ever has been because it is the way that the average person can get their vision onto other people's screens, and we've never had an unfettered means for one person to reach another person's screen before.
That debate should've been 'should institutions that have nothing to do with RUclips be allowed to have something to do with RUclips?' Deleted the footage. Jesus.
I believe they'll be a shift when it comes to the talent's relationship with the audience. Nowadays, people prefer following a personality over a product of traditional media. The social platforms on the internet allows a much more intimate communication between both content creators and audiences. RUclips has obviously evolved into something that encourages the growth of a community throughout the internet. However, I do not believe that RUclips would be able to do so without the help of other social platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr... That said, I do not think either will take over one another. But content delivered online might... I personally prefer that RUclips stays as it is. I really enjoy how independent and community driven it is. Even if most of us content creators would like traditional media to respect us, I still want it to stay "small" and not this huge corporation.
I rarely comment, but I have to say that this is just awesome. I really enjoy the new direction you are taking Jack! It is (and has always been) obvious how much work and thought you put into the editing and creative ideas behind your videos. I don't think it's boring, I look forward to you "just sitting there and talking" haha. And thanks for the advise on just putting your creative material out there - that's definitely something I needed to hear myself :)
RUclips needs to stay relatively small in order to function as it is, it is free, uncensored and the best part of all is that it allows anyone to succeed with only one skill - hard work. If it takes over TV the population will be so big that advertising and money will reign over creativity and inspiration, plus the chances of actually succeeding become slimmer and slimmer - which really ruins the magic of this great site. Keep it small - keep it cool.
TV is typically a more career based effort to project videos. RUclips is for anybody to post anything they want, so it is directly open to the public. I don't think one is better or dominant over the other. They both play an important, influential role in society.
The whole videos on demand ( Netflix, RUclips etc.. ) and not having to wait for schedules is definitely going to be challenging Tv in the next few years. Great video guys, hope you had a great Birthday so far!
Hey JacksGap, I'm glad you're back, you guys are quite the inspiration! I completely relate to the feeling of 'starting fresh', trying to move on to a new phase of life and trying to grow as a person, I've loved your videos from the start and I honestly love the direction the channel is going! Also I believe RUclips has a bright future, even if it never replaces television completely, the ease of viewing 4-5 minute videos is something our fast-paced world will appreciate for years to come. The diversity of content on RUclips is insane, it's truly changing the world one cute cat video at a time :)
As you say they are two completely different formats, the beauty of RUclips is its freedom of speech, everyone can have a voice and good content rises to the top... Instead of a TV commissioner deciding what we watch, YT gives the viewer the choice. I personally hope RUclips grows so we can educate more people about wildlife and I believe it will begin to dominate television in 15 years! Happy birthday guys!
is it just me or does the clicking the link to the jacksgap website just take you to finn's twitter? (also if anyone wants to have a look at my drawings of Jack and Finn on my channel that would be groovy, particularly if your names happen to be either Jack or Finn Harries)
i posted this as a reply but i thought everyone would benefit from reading it: what's changed is that his channel is not anymore about him, but about his films; Jacksgap has become the media where Jack, Finn and the rest of Jacksgap gang share their content, read the new banner. I think it's fantastic, i really like the fact they are sharing their passion with us.

The only way RUclips will be dominant in the future is in user-created content. You can't compare RUclips to Television. They are two different things. So RUclips wont be dominant over every broadcasting medium, but it will be dominant over internet broadcasting and user-created content. And also, Happy Birthday Boys :)
1) I love, LOVE LOVE LOVE, the new website design. 2) Was it just me or was HIS audio really quiet? Everything else was fine but your voice seemed really quiet, I kept having to adjust my volume. 3) I DO think RUclips will be the dominant form, because mostly, yes it is free, but also because there are channels who do offer full length television shows and movies for a very, very small fee, like a few bucks. And Because we are smart people, we know that not everything an be free! BUT ti can be cheap, and RUclips seems to be doing a very good job of maintaining good quality content for cheap and free. Shazam!
I really am enjoying your variety of videos, some insightful and make you think and some that don't require much intellectual work and simply make you laugh, good to have you back jack.
RUclips and TV are for two completely different things. Not to mention the budgets are also completely different, and an average teenager can't exactly start a TV channel or make a show like they can here on RUclips. One will not take over the other they will both simply co-exist
I don't think RUclips will ever be dominant over TV because I personally like seeing a series with a story line which is hard to find on youtube. We might find an old show uploaded, but it's hard to find a show with weekly new episodes on youtube.
I feel like JacksGap's videos aren't as funny as they used to be... I don't want to start a massive argument but in the last year I have noticed a massive change...
I've never found them VERY funny. I think that his videos were supposed to be to teach us some things. Like doing charity, go travel other countries and learn some culture
Interestingly enough, Im not gona say RUclips will over take TV but I think the internet will take over cable TV. Both of my friends that work at different *unnamed* shipping companies, have stated that they are seeing more and more returned cable boxes. This could be leading to something.
That's baseless. They could be swapping receivers, or something even unrelated. Unless they are opening the boxes then they don't have any clue. Plus, revenues for subscription TV have only climbed recently.
Im only speaking from personal experience. Besides weres the bases for your claims? Besides it quite easy to tell whats in a package from the address its going to.
Yahoo Finance... It's a pretty big site with facts. And unless you have x-ray vision...I've sent plenty of defective receivers back to DirecTV as well as upgraded equipment. There's no way to know without opening.
Yeah, I agree. I can't really see RUclips taking over TV, but the internet (with all its Hulu, Netflix, etc.) will definitely steal a large part of business from cable companies.
i adore how much effort you put into every single ones of your videos, even the little things like you making them signs for the debate teams just go to show how much you care about making your videos 100%, your very creative and very inspirational and you can tell how hard you work to make your videos great :) Pleasure to watch your videos
I agree with Jack. RUclips can't not be a "substitute" for T.V. because RUclips is place where people can make videos and be creative and as for T.V.....its just a T.V. that plays videos and movies. So of course RUclips will grow as much as Facebook is growing each year.
I don't think it will and don't think it should. RUclips and tv are both popular in their own respects. But they're two completely different things. I think they'll both have continuous ups and downs in their own manners.
I was quite amazed by the impact of this event. Cheers to you, Finn and all the other youtubers and film makers for being part of this awesome project!
i don't want youtube to be the main medium for entertainment and overtake TV becasue, being a little bit selfish, i don't want the whole world to be part of this little youtube community and more people will ruin it. However, without my selfish thoughts in the way, i do possibly think that not only youtube but the internet will overtake TV.
For the people who are saying that they miss old jacksgap videos. Maybe Jack wants to make these new videos? I personally love both kinds of videos. But i'm guessing the younger tween audience doesn't?
I absolutely love RUclips, but I really hate the idea of being a dominant broadcasting medium.... because RUclips is amazing just the way it is, with the small communities and the friendly environment.... I know that there are trolls and so on, but RUclips still feels home..... if it went so big this special thing about it will just be gone.... and this is terrifying actually
"His videos aren't the same"
"They're boring now"
"They're not as funny as they used to be"
Seriously? Of course, they aren't the same he's taking a different path right now. They aren't meant to be funny? They're informational and cater to people who want to discover new things.

Best answer to all those comments!! :)
***** Thank you :)
Finally some one who gets it. :)
Ehhhhhhh no they're not. They dropped out of Uni like a year ago.
Mac Machiavelli If I remember right, they froze the year or something similar.
nicely done! i watched this video in black tie. i felt it appropriate. ;)
Just the tie?
***** it's ok andrew.. we all have our preferences ^.^
***** Black tie means formal wear, so probably the his whole suit not just his tie :)
06aikens I know what "Black Tie" means but I prefer the image of Ben wearing just a bowtie.
way to go. :)
How unfortunate that the footage got deleted! Sounded like quite the experience though.
✌
I like see your comment on almost evey single youtube video I watch
marbles25 We have good taste.
Wow. It's now 00:13, I've been subscribed since yesterday morning and I can say I've watched every single video on this channel in a single day.

Yes it totally will but I'm afraid for when it happens
Ikr! Cuz then the people that we have been subscribed to for 3-5 years are gunna go big and then people are gunna be like OMGGGG I love themmm!
Rachel Byrnes Ikr!! when you know someone for yeeeears before they go all big....and you supported them for what they do and you really believe in them; then all of a sudden, they become big, and EVERYBODY start loving them, even the ones who mocked you for loving youtubers or making youtube videos yourself..... and they just love them because of 1 or 2 videos, and they say "OMG!!

Wish they had the footage! Thanks for uploading jack, can't wait for the next video!

RUclips is acually like TV to me. I used to always watch TV but ever since I made a RUclips account its like a better TV to me. Just an opinion
Jimmy H preach
Finn in a suit. I am dead.
i miss ask jack.
Yeah ask jack and Finn!!
Helen Southern Hell yes!

I dont want youtube to be a dominant form of media because i would rather keep the youtubers to myself for selfish reasons of course. sorry jack
Right?!? Even I feel the same Way. It is like this personal space of mine and this is where I relax and be I don't know me! Selfish of me, so be it!
Same I would feel like I wouldn't have any place for my own cause everyone would know them!
I think that too because RUclips is for me my privat world I can go into it and watch amazing and creative videos.
Lizzie Monsreal Yes! And it's not because we don't want to spread the RUclips awesomeness, but we feel kind of special... the content made by all the youtubers it's done having the susbcribers in mind (no matter if are a lot or just a little).
true :D that
Eyebrow game is strong
Lmao
Don't worry Jack, I think you're videos have been getting very interesting, despite what other people think. I love your videos!
It's nice to see that places like Cambridge Uni are starting to take RUclips more seriously :D
I don't even watch tv anymore RUclips is all I watch and TV is so old I honestly think broadcasters will move to Internet as it is used more and more through out
I think it's a matter of content on television is not as interesting to you as content you choose to watch on RUclips.
I miss these kind of videos, it makes me feel nostalgic every time I think about the twins I was also young back then I would be so happy every time jack would upload a new video. Now I feel much more grown up just like them...
They’ve become so inspirational young men and did phenomenal advocacy as environmentalists!
Jack, where's your quiff?
I know I hate his new hair
I like his hair....
MISS3L3LIT3 I don't hate his new hair but I prefer his old hair. But he's still Jack Harris :)

I watch wayyy more youtube now than I do television
same
I still like Jacksgap but something about it isn't the same. It's like it's more.. "business" than personal. Can't really describe it. I'm not hating on it at all but still.
yeah I noticed. it's more mature and not as cheeky anymore :(
His videos are more about charity and traveling and stuff like that which I honestly don't think is a bad thing (: I like the change
I feel like his content now actually has meaning behind it. It isn't silly videos anymore it has thought behind it and causes chain reactions whether that's for a charity or inspiration. These videos aren't just videos that are simply watched and enjoyed they are videos that do something and have an impact.
***** what's changed is that his channel is not anymore about him, but about his films; Jacksgap has become the media where Jack, Finn and the rest of Jacksgap gang share their content, read the new banner.

If someone knowing this still has the courage to do that, i appreciate it a lot, because is a deeper connection, ya feel?
well, he's no longer like 14 years old, so that might be it?

In that way, RUclips will help TV become a far richer experience for more people than it ever has been because it is the way that the average person can get their vision onto other people's screens, and we've never had an unfettered means for one person to reach another person's screen before.
Oh yeah like the smart tv you can also watch youtube on there but its still tv
evelyne beuriot Exactly! I already watch regular TV, Netflix, RUclips, and HBO GO on my TV via Chromecast. The future of TV is already here.
I am so glad u are bringing u tube into a more serious tone, love it.
That debate should've been 'should institutions that have nothing to do with RUclips be allowed to have something to do with RUclips?'
Deleted the footage. Jesus.
I believe they'll be a shift when it comes to the talent's relationship with the audience. Nowadays, people prefer following a personality over a product of traditional media. The social platforms on the internet allows a much more intimate communication between both content creators and audiences. RUclips has obviously evolved into something that encourages the growth of a community throughout the internet. However, I do not believe that RUclips would be able to do so without the help of other social platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr... That said, I do not think either will take over one another. But content delivered online might...
I personally prefer that RUclips stays as it is. I really enjoy how independent and community driven it is. Even if most of us content creators would like traditional media to respect us, I still want it to stay "small" and not this huge corporation.
we like queueing and we like debating
lmao, thats the best explanation for british people EVER.
Seeing Jack's face truly is Christmas.
Is it just my computer, or is the volume of Jack speaking a bit low
Ikr mine too!
I thought the same thing.... Thought I might have been going deaf :/
Haha I thought it was too loud!
Me too!!
I can't hear Jack that well, even when my computer is at its highest volume.
I rarely comment, but I have to say that this is just awesome. I really enjoy the new direction you are taking Jack! It is (and has always been) obvious how much work and thought you put into the editing and creative ideas behind your videos. I don't think it's boring, I look forward to you "just sitting there and talking" haha. And thanks for the advise on just putting your creative material out there - that's definitely something I needed to hear myself :)
RUclips needs to stay relatively small in order to function as it is, it is free, uncensored and the best part of all is that it allows anyone to succeed with only one skill - hard work. If it takes over TV the population will be so big that advertising and money will reign over creativity and inspiration, plus the chances of actually succeeding become slimmer and slimmer - which really ruins the magic of this great site.
Keep it small - keep it cool.
when i saw u uploaded i screamed! i thought it was jacksllama im glad it was you i love you guys! xx
well it's a small world after all… nice to know you appreciate my videos ;)
TV is typically a more career based effort to project videos. RUclips is for anybody to post anything they want, so it is directly open to the public. I don't think one is better or dominant over the other. They both play an important, influential role in society.
The whole videos on demand ( Netflix, RUclips etc.. ) and not having to wait for schedules is definitely going to be challenging Tv in the next few years. Great video guys, hope you had a great Birthday so far!
is it just me or does jacksgap.com redirect to finn's twitter? sneaky finn ;)
Collab with the twins please?
Your voice was a bit quiet in this video! ^^
Other than that, I'm loving the return of videos!! Thank you :)
I missed the outro song (:
Amazing video Jack! Also happy birthday :D
Aleee!!!!! I love your channel!!!!
Hey JacksGap, I'm glad you're back, you guys are quite the inspiration!
I completely relate to the feeling of 'starting fresh', trying to move on to a new phase of life and trying to grow as a person, I've loved your videos from the start and I honestly love the direction the channel is going!
Also I believe RUclips has a bright future, even if it never replaces television completely, the ease of viewing 4-5 minute videos is something our fast-paced world will appreciate for years to come. The diversity of content on RUclips is insane, it's truly changing the world one cute cat video at a time :)
You guys were dashing.
As you say they are two completely different formats, the beauty of RUclips is its freedom of speech, everyone can have a voice and good content rises to the top... Instead of a TV commissioner deciding what we watch, YT gives the viewer the choice.
I personally hope RUclips grows so we can educate more people about wildlife and I believe it will begin to dominate television in 15 years!
Happy birthday guys!
This video was unreal, amazingly edited and the footage was perfect. To top it all of the actual content was brill. Well done!
is it just me or does the clicking the link to the jacksgap website just take you to finn's twitter? (also if anyone wants to have a look at my drawings of Jack and Finn on my channel that would be groovy, particularly if your names happen to be either Jack or Finn Harries)
Your'e not the only one. It's the same for when i click it
YEP same problem on my end starts to upload to the site the jumps to Finny :)
Me too! Finn is trolling us
just type it into your browser bar
Cheeky Finn lol
I could get use to a weekly video from you boys... Again...
YES! How i miss getting Jacksgap videos in my subscription box
Jack I didn't realize how much I missed your end screen music. Soooooo glad you're back babe
I would have really loved to watch that debate.
Loved it Jack!
i posted this as a reply but i thought everyone would benefit from reading it:
what's changed is that his channel is not anymore about him, but about his films; Jacksgap has become the media where Jack, Finn and the rest of Jacksgap gang share their content, read the new banner. I think it's fantastic, i really like the fact they are sharing their passion with us. Someone once posted "My poetry blog is more personal than my personal blog," what i mean by showing this example is that when sharing our projects, writings, and films, we say more about ourselves and the way we see the world, than when we say things sitting on front of a camera doing tags, jokes, or even talking about ourselves. when someone shares something very intimate, like it is sharing your poetry, or your own films, in a way it makes you feel closer, because they are taking a risk, they're are putting something that is theirs, that came from their inner selves, in a place for everyone to criticise it and share their opinions about it, and everything that people say is not directed to the "project itself" but directed to the creator, and its creativity, opinions, and sense of life. If someone knowing this still has the courage to do that, i appreciate it a lot, because is a deeper connection, ya feel?
The only way RUclips will be dominant in the future is in user-created content. You can't compare RUclips to Television. They are two different things. So RUclips wont be dominant over every broadcasting medium, but it will be dominant over internet broadcasting and user-created content.
And also, Happy Birthday Boys :)
belongtobill Agreed!
'Check out our pervious videos above' anyone else notice that aha?
Tbh I enjoyed their video's from before, where it was fun and had both Jack and Fin doing funny things in it.
STILL HOT!!!
... I MEAN DASHING ...
1) I love, LOVE LOVE LOVE, the new website design.
2) Was it just me or was HIS audio really quiet? Everything else was fine but your voice seemed really quiet, I kept having to adjust my volume.
3) I DO think RUclips will be the dominant form, because mostly, yes it is free, but also because there are channels who do offer full length television shows and movies for a very, very small fee, like a few bucks. And Because we are smart people, we know that not everything an be free! BUT ti can be cheap, and RUclips seems to be doing a very good job of maintaining good quality content for cheap and free.
Shazam!
I think the audio was kinda quiet, I kept having to change the volume too. But it was a good video!
It was definitely a good video! So glad Jack is back to doing regular videos! (fingers crossed he keeps it up haha)
I really am enjoying your variety of videos, some insightful and make you think and some that don't require much intellectual work and simply make you laugh, good to have you back jack.
I wonder if Jack and Finn shared a bed?
RUclips and TV are for two completely different things. Not to mention the budgets are also completely different, and an average teenager can't exactly start a TV channel or make a show like they can here on RUclips. One will not take over the other they will both simply co-exist
awww man i missed you and your videos so much! You and a few other you tubers will forever be my favourite! I'm glad I stayed!
am i the only one who cant hear a thing, even with headphones at full volume?
Yeh it's pretty low with the volume and I have my headphones up full blast
Finally, someone else! :D
Woah, I didn't even notice the plus ones o.O
Yeah that happened to me yesterday, but I just came on today to watch it and it works!! RUclips was being a shit face :) haha
when has youtube not been a shitface? :P
Finn in a suit. Oh.my.God😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Soo glad you guys are back! The amount of times I had to adjust my volume on this video tho haha
The change in your hair is making it hard for me to tell the difference between you and Finn omg
I think jackscap is just not the same..
aaliyah najimi haha
aaliyah najimi ahahahah ur my idol ahhaa jk but u made me cry ahahahaha
I don't think RUclips will ever be dominant over TV because I personally like seeing a series with a story line which is hard to find on youtube. We might find an old show uploaded, but it's hard to find a show with weekly new episodes on youtube.
I feel like JacksGap's videos aren't as funny as they used to be... I don't want to start a massive argument but in the last year I have noticed a massive change...
Totally agreed with you
I've never found them VERY funny. I think that his videos were supposed to be to teach us some things. Like doing charity, go travel other countries and learn some culture
I agree!!
ItsFelix go check your bank account if you want to have a laugh
Interestingly enough, Im not gona say RUclips will over take TV but I think the internet will take over cable TV. Both of my friends that work at different *unnamed* shipping companies, have stated that they are seeing more and more returned cable boxes. This could be leading to something.
That's baseless. They could be swapping receivers, or something even unrelated. Unless they are opening the boxes then they don't have any clue. Plus, revenues for subscription TV have only climbed recently.
Im only speaking from personal experience. Besides weres the bases for your claims? Besides it quite easy to tell whats in a package from the address its going to.
Yahoo Finance... It's a pretty big site with facts. And unless you have x-ray vision...I've sent plenty of defective receivers back to DirecTV as well as upgraded equipment. There's no way to know without opening.
Yeah, I agree. I can't really see RUclips taking over TV, but the internet (with all its Hulu, Netflix, etc.) will definitely steal a large part of business from cable companies.
I missed this honestly happy to have you posting video again (:
As a small RUclipsr myself it is inspiring to see how RUclips could change someones life!
well, youtube is free, for tv you usually have to pay for certain tv channels if you want to watch something you like
RUclips isn't exactly free, I have to pay for wifi so I can go on the internet to watch it, but the website is free.
yas that's what i mean
But if it becomes popular enough, then they will probably start charging for it. Or fund a way to put more ads
It's great to see you back Jack! I missed you lotssss! :)
Can't wait to see what more you have in store for us! #LoveFromTheCaribbean xx
Interesting... Now what happened to the JacksGap opening animation?!
21year old Jack making 21year old videos...
He's 21 years old! That's how old my teacher was now she's 22! I mean like wow!
i adore how much effort you put into every single ones of your videos, even the little things like you making them signs for the debate teams just go to show how much you care about making your videos 100%, your very creative and very inspirational and you can tell how hard you work to make your videos great :)
Pleasure to watch your videos
I watch more RUclips then TV! I prefer watching your videos then X factor xx love your channel x
I think TV and RUclips are like TV and radio- two different things which are equally valid
I love the quality of your videos and it is so obvious that you put in so much time and thought to make a worthwhile vid. Keep it up! x
I agree with Jack. RUclips can't not be a "substitute" for T.V. because RUclips is place where people can make videos and be creative and as for T.V.....its just a T.V. that plays videos and movies. So of course RUclips will grow as much as Facebook is growing each year.
I don't think it will and don't think it should. RUclips and tv are both popular in their own respects. But they're two completely different things. I think they'll both have continuous ups and downs in their own manners.
I was quite amazed by the impact of this event. Cheers to you, Finn and all the other youtubers and film makers for being part of this awesome project!
I do have a feeling that Jack is still afraid of making videos...
He ought to be afraid to make videos! Some of these people are really hard on the guy! Don't worry Jack, I still love you!
Jack you look different in a way i don't know how but..
JacksGap
its the hair...
it's actually his eyes, he looks exhausted...
Una Pavlovic yes
That's what I was thinking,his eyes look more sad or exhausted
The hair i think its parted differently
I've had a chance to debate at the society too, it's a beautiful place!!! Hoping to go to that university next year!!! 🙈 lovely video jack xx
i don't want youtube to be the main medium for entertainment and overtake TV becasue, being a little bit selfish, i don't want the whole world to be part of this little youtube community and more people will ruin it. However, without my selfish thoughts in the way, i do possibly think that not only youtube but the internet will overtake TV.
for some reason i can imagine jack becoming an author ahaha
I'm so happy you're back!! We missed you so much
I couldn't stop staring at Jack's lips..
For the people who are saying that they miss old jacksgap videos. Maybe Jack wants to make these new videos? I personally love both kinds of videos. But i'm guessing the younger tween audience doesn't?
Glad to have you back Jack (& Finn)! x
I absolutely love RUclips, but I really hate the idea of being a dominant broadcasting medium.... because RUclips is amazing just the way it is, with the small communities and the friendly environment.... I know that there are trolls and so on, but RUclips still feels home..... if it went so big this special thing about it will just be gone.... and this is terrifying actually
I haven't watched TV in months, I need RUclips..it already is my broadcast medium
Hey jack
Just so glad to see you making videos again
Loads of love from Sri Lanka ♥♥♥
This aged horribly.
You look veryyyyy dashing.
I really have missed watching your content! Your creativity and excellent video editing skills are always so refreshing.
Is your brother single
Unfortunately not.
Danica Medel awww. is jack taken too? :)
yes he is. He's actually with her in Ibiza...
