i mean this in the nicest way possible but bro is such a good yapper that i was able to sit and listen to the entire half an hour video like its the daily news
I'm just some random 40yr old lady. But it's no surprise to me your channel blew up. Everyone is so fake trying to make content. You sound so genuine and down to earth. You are effortlessly funny. I worked graveyard shift in a manufacturing plant when I found your channel. That job was so lonely and depressing. Thank you for the para social relationship! Do what makes you happy. You're a cool dude and your personality will get you far in life. Just keep being your authentic self and let the pieces fall where they lay
I’m sorry you went through all that shit, I had a whole kid while you disappeared and I still thought about you every couple months, Long live the king.
I think the reason you attract so many people is your personality. You’re awkward, quirky, and it’s clear you like making people laugh. You’re a real person, where a lot of RUclipsrs put on a persona and it’s honestly refreshing.😅😅 I’m really sorry you went through that, and I’m glad you’re back Primink😊😊😊 Also just like the other comments I do believe Turkey Tom is down bad for you.
I'd 1000% be down to watch streams. I mean this with all sincerity and no creepiness - You are the Yap King but in an enjoyable way. I spend a lot of time home alone so having videos like yours on while I do chores, crochet, or work on my degree has been great. I only found the channel 2-3 years ago and I remember watching a TON of videos and then seeing when you last uploaded and being kind of sad but I still subbed - just in case. I am glad you took time away and that you were able to soul search and add to your plant horde. PS - never "too many" plants
I'm gonna call this the Jenna Marbles Effect. All of the most humble, chill, down to earth YTers - the ones that SHOULD have big platforms - inevitably get fed up with some aspect of YT and step back from it as their main focus. The people who think all attention is good attention are the ones who'll create whatever content will get them the most views and they won't stop until they're dead. When the internet finally destroys itself and the cloud of smoke clears from the implosion, it's just gonna be cockroaches and Logan Paul trying to suck the meat off the dead carcasses. I love your content but your mental health and stability are the most important things, no matter what. Stay strong dude
I don't think Jenna necessarily got fed up with YT. She removed herself from the platform because she believed her past content warranted that. I don't really think YT itself had anything to do with her decision to leave. I miss her too but really respect her decision.
i legitimately don't mean to be rude, but it's been years since jenna made the video announcing why she was leaving and people are still misinterpreting that video and her reasoning. she didn't leave because she was 'fed up', she left because that's what she thought she needed to do to take accountability for her past actions. we can miss her and still talk about her, obviously. but people need to stop bringing her up in situations that are completely different to her own, or try to twist her reasonings to fit their narratives.
“Stopped making certain jokes, stopped talking about myself” dude who is sending cumcicles and shit you ruin it for everyone. Leave this man alone so we can get the genuine content he wants to make please!
"Today's question is, can I analyze the case of Primink? Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video, only speculating what could be happening in a situation like this..."
6:02 dude you’re adorable. I watch a lot of “drama” content (honestly cause my life is boring and drama is fun) and I don’t remember what drama people put you in, but you sound like fun. Also, I hit a squirrel once and had to pull over and cry for a while. It happens man. Genuinely tho, do what you gotta do for your mental health. That’s most important.
Hi, answering the question at the end of the video: in light of what you said about wanting to maintain distance and avoid parasocial relationships, I think streaming on this channel might not be the best idea since that tends to be a breeding ground for the weirdest kind of people to think they're forming a connection with you 😬
You sound like a legitimately chill, kind, and earnest person, which unfortunately can attract people who don't understand boundaries or who will take a mile if you offer an inch. That sucks, dude. I know that life. I hope things are and/or get better for you.
@@tundra4331 I can't speak for him, but I know personally (on a much smaller scale) it is difficult to balance having a "everybody is a potential friend" personality with this parasocial world. Like you get personal fulfillment from getting to know people and you want to be able to form organic relationships with whomever, but sometimes people have no concept or care for self-control or self-reflection. It sucks that the people making things weird suddenly becomes /your/ problem when you're just trying to be chill and friendly.
@@tundra4331 I always take that as kind of tongue in cheek whenever anyone says it to people they don't know. Sometimes even to people they do. It definitely isn't meant to be literal unless someone has very poor boundaries and would therefore make a terrible friend. I guess a lot of modern people, not even the fully deranged, do not understand the difference between "literal" and "not literal", though.
I don't hate the dude; I think he can SOMETIMES make good content. However, he's in such a breadtuber mindset that I genuinely cannot expect him to NOT jump at any drama that appears with little time to research. I guess he kinda always was in a way? but as of late it's felt way more rushed.
Is anyone stuck on the fact that Primink is only 1 year older than Lillee. The way she speaks on Primink is as if he is some much older man who has been preying on her. Primink had a real job, went to school and still made videos? Meanwhile Lillee doesn't actually interact with people her age, doesn't have a driver's license and only goes places with her mom. Her current story of having police reports and subpoenas is so deranged. Maybe Primink should be contacting these detectives and filing police reports himself?
To be fair, that's bc he probably feels way older to her. Like you said, she doesn't have any interactions with anyone her age and only talks to her parents who likely still treat her like a child. In many ways, her growth has been severely stunted. It's genuinely so sad if you sit and think about it for too long. But also, even more likely, she's fawning to manipulate others to get them on her side. &To be very clear, I'm NOT defending Lillee in any way. Just because she was raised the way she was does not excuse her and her parents from terrorizing Primink and countless other creators. I hope they're held accountable by the law and serve time for all the shit they've done.
@@dennistmennace It's defo a manipulation tactic. She recently made some weird video saying she was fearing for her life because she is a "petite woman" and Curtis Price (who is also the same age as her) is some big 6ft tall scary man who she is afraid is going to fly from the UK to the US to hurt her.
Primink is a guy who is intelligent and self-aware. Lillee has been overprotected for too long and has no real experience in how to deal with backlash. And that's not the same as being bullied. Because when you're bullied, you don't think it's your own fault that often. Facing backlash and criticism and having to deal with that is where real skill comes into play. And I'm 39. And I still get criticised for what I say online from time to time and it still happens somewhat regularly that I realize that I was in the wrong. I just like to speak my mind. That's the beauty of the internet and people as a whole to me. I just LOVE people. In general. And I also love to improve myself. Whereas people like Lillee, they think that they're already perfect...
She kind of makes me feel bad for her tbh. It’s clear she doesn’t have a healthy relationship with her mom and she’s being coddled and not living a real life of her own. I still live at home but I pay rent, have a job, a license, a car, friends I hang out with. Lillee doesn’t. And that’s enough for me to feel some sympathy for her.
I.did that. It was a possum. Driving home at night from a long shift. I cried for about 10 minutes and prayed God took him quickly and he felt no pain. RIP little dude. I'm sorry..
Unless he was a meat smoothie, he was probably playing dead. Opposums play dead extremely well. They even make themselves smell bad. They'll play dead for hours.
Your persomality shines through everything, that'a why you went so popular. Your voice makes people happy. People can get really wierd here in online world. But I would LOVE for you to return. You are sorely missed.
Yep! Listening to him feels like listening to a pal, like I'm just winding down after a long day and we're hanging out and he tells me stories from his wildly interesting life 😂😅
0:36 "I don't think people like me can...go to prison. *twinkish giggle*" Also, watched more of the video, and omfg I relate so hard to the warehouse job thing. I'm literally at my warehouse job rn listening to this and all my coworkers are also literally 40 and angry all the time. I'm 20. It sucks.
I’m in the weird case of working with a lot of angry 20-somethings and being in my 30s and just wanting to get through my work day without drama. Please. Begging and screaming.
You're soo good at being a RUclipsr, i never get bored listening to you, and i always wait for your videos, I don't care what you're talking about, i'm so sorry you're dealing with crazy people.
We all missed Primink because of how fantastic his video essays and analysis were. I personally think that is the best case scenario when it comes to how your audience views you. If after 4 years of mostly absence from your channel people are still consistently checking in to see if you have possibly returned and have not lost interest it speaks to, imo, the fact that what you are providing in content is a cut above the rest. Us fans of Prim are fans because of the content he produces, not because of his online persona. Does anyone else agree?
literally everyone has a parasocial relationship lmfao; it's not a bad thing. it can be. just like normal relationships. you've ever been a fan of anything or anyone that doesn't know you exist - it's parasocial. that's literally all it takes. this is what happens when people get ahold of terms and twist the definition to something it's not.
Man...I felt that racoon story. Your channel blew up because you are incredibly relatable and easy to listen to. So glad the "break" is over and you're trying out a return! Wish you nothing but smooth sailing and sane peeps in your dm's!
Watched Turky Tom a few casual time and then the vibes were off and THEN i discovered a whole rabbit hole of shit and was like "thank god i can feel the vibes😭" maybe my autism prevents me from understanding social cues but BOI is my radar good
I have not discovered the rabbit hole, but I also watched TT a few times and stopped because of his attitude. Snarky humor is fine, but he seemed genuinely unkind and edgy for the sake of being hurtful or something. Like you said, the vibes were off.
@@krisdianeyess absolutely. he reminds me of leafy is here. sometimes he’s rude and mean just to be rude and mean and edgy. he definitely spends a lot of time on 4chan and kiwi farms. also, he can’t take accountability for anything. he said racial slurs and then double downed. he’s pretty hateful and his videos are rushed and many things are often wrong
I don't understand why people like you take Primink making a joke as something to seriously respond to with hate for Tom - How do you even remotely think that part was serious? He LITERALLY said he was joking after what he said. Primink has been in Toms stream chats since, pretty certain they are absolutely fine.
@@KnightOfTheWiredHe clearly wasn't. He genuinely believed he was right (as if he has a built in gaydar??) and that it HAD to be shared to the world despite Primink being uncomfortable with it.
I can understand what you mean. Anonymity isnt just something people use to say cruel things. Its legitimately a way for people to be themselves or be filter free when they can't in their real life. When people start trying to find the person behind the anonymity it takes away a safe space for people, and adds all this pressure from weird expectations people get in their heads that project on to you. I hope you can still have that space and still be able to yap (go yap king go) about personal stuff if you so wish without people pressuring you and just being wierd. Love ya primink! (In a normal audience/viewer way)
As someone raised on the internet, I do think it's important to recognise that there's no true anonymity. Ever. It's a shame because I also feel the allure of blurting all of my opinions online under anonymity. Anonymity is kind of paradoxical, the whole allure is that it's a chance to show a new side of yourself without assumptions about who you already are. But once you've shown a new side of yourself, you're no longer anonymous, that's just a new persona for people to base assumptions on. Then you want to reset and go more anonymous again and it's a whole cycle.
I've been on the internet since around 2005. Mostly just as a viewer, but yeah. The older I get, the less I find I desire to post much about my real life in general. The internet has pretty much always been a place for me to post/share about stuff I'm currently hyperfixating on (and then I'm just a more toned-down version of myself irl), so the older I get, the less I really want to post things with my face or about my life since it all just feels like "hey, that's private" and not necessarily interesting to those circles I'm most active in. It's always served well as a good balance, for me, but it's only in my late 20s/early 30s that I've come to appreciate being mostly anonymous. Not to say mean or nasty things, never been about that. But just to have the online world and the real world stay in separate spheres.
JESUS MAN So relieved to hear from you! And even more relieved to hear you still have that same adorable personality and the fame didnt get to you, the lady and her mother, didnt get to you, none of it! Nice to get an update, thanks for that. oh by the way i forgot to say whatever you wanna put on this channel is awesome, just to get some smol scraps of content sir!
I totally understand. I have a small anonymous cat account that’s mostly about my rescues but sometimes I post about my life. One day I posted that I was feeling sad & for some reason my entire family called me to ask how I was doing. Now I just post about my cats. I miss having my safe space.
At the beginning of the video but glad to see people hating on Turkey Tom! Remember how in Discord servers he thought it was so funny to say the n-word every two seconds with horrible stereotypes and then got defended on Twitter for that, getting a black guy saying Turkey Tom is racist to get harrassed? I do.
Not just Turkey Tom but Nick DeOrio too. Some of the videos in support of Primink in the Lillee situation I don't watch because of the r-word slur being thrown around so casually. Not to mention they give off major right wing (but calls themselves centrist) vibes. I remember when they tried to gang up on D'Angelo Wallace for calling turkey tom out.
@@moonelysian77 so what if they were right wing? The fear mongering on the internet over right wing people and conservative is ridiculous. They are normal people just like you and me. Both sides have bad people sure but most people are just regular people with slightly different beliefs than you.
@@brosef5033 You just said a bunch of nothing to me. "slightly different beliefs" but one side is actively trying to take my rights away. I'm also not going to glaze contrarian men that masquerade as centrist.
I always knew Turkey Tom was coming from a malicious place but the second he said Sneako shouldn't have been banned from RUclips I was incapable of ignoring that stuff and stopped casually watching his videos.
@@arissamazumder did he say that in one of his main RUclips videos? I never looked into the guy until that, but I remember making it a point never to look at his comments. After the Sneako video I looked him up and saw he also said it should be ok to say the n word.
Yeah ive known about Tom for years before he massively blew up and im so suprised that he's gotten as far as he has after calling Mr. Enter a p*do and doubling down on all of the Pyro allegations
What makes me sad about Lilly Jean is that if someone could have been honest with her she might have had a chance to be a normal beauty RUclipsr. Like she is relatively pretty and if she worked on her skills people could have liked her content, but she is delusional
No, I 100% agree with you. The last time he talked about her, I was like damn she is actually pretty and if she just behaved normally, she could probably do well. She clearly has the energy and loves to act lmao, just put that energy into your channel instead of harassing people and coming up with lies. It is really bizarre.
She's so insane that I genuinely cannot see her as pretty in any way. Personality has a big impact on me, though it's probably also bc of that serial killer look she has in her eyes. But in a different timeline where she wasn't as crazy, it could work.
She’s been coddled and “protected” from the real world from day one. I was fairly sheltered as a kid, but it’s still nothing compared to her. She doesn’t know what it’s like to have a job or any sense of independence and that’s really sad to me. Her mom (and if she has a dad, I don’t know) have really failed her.
That's the vibe I got. Given that the viewer never really did anything other than give rather generous amounts of money (totally get why Primik politely turned that down, tho. Someone gifting that large amount of money just always feels wrong to keep it), it sounds like the guy might have taken a particular liking to Primik because of something like that (especially since the viewer never did anything too weird like the c*msiciles guy).
My advice is always the same for everyone: do whatever you feel like doing that day. If a stream sounds fun, do a stream. If it sounds better to just make a video, make a video. If something feels like way too much work that day, don't do it that day.
im smiling so hard listening to prim talk about how well he's doing, traveling, cooking, the house and the plants!! so sweet! this is the giant update we needed :) welcome kinda-back officially
So.... I was recommended this video knowing nothing of this person or the context! Can you help me out? He said he was gone for 4 years but he has a main channel that was also posted on even last year. Was there a hacking or something? Outside of this slander issue and all the rest?
Letting you know: I would prefer your usual style over streams. That's probably because I just can't get into them and even when some of my favorite RUclipsrs start streaming (Boy Boy and Ididathing) I very much enjoy the scripted and "produced" stuff over the streams.
Me too!! I try to watch live or even just casual unscripted videos from creators that I normally really enjoy but end up bailing on the video every time.
It sucks when something you use as an outlet gets outed, so to speak. Hope you can still find joy in making the monthly videos going forward! We love them and always hope the best for you, online and irl.
Oooh! I'm so excited to get new stories from you! I love them so much! I was so sad when you disappeared but I wholeheartedly understand the problem! I can't wait to see what you have in store!
31:31 omg I'd love a stream, if that's what you decide to do. this video should serve as a PSA to everyone, DONT BE WEIRD AND CREEPY TO UR FAV CREATORS, THEY ARE HUMANS TOO. listening to some of these stories made my jaw drop likeeeee😭😭 glad ur okay and you've come through the other side, hope these weirdos stop harassing you. as someone who binged ur vids in 2020 when you took a break, I feel like I've been on a whole journey as a viewer from the lillee jean stuff to now. excited for what happens next!! 🫶✨️✨️
I honestly missed that little giggle at the end signing off from videos (not in a creepy way, just in an endearing, fond way). Some people take parasocial relationships too seriously and they need to *chill* tf out gosh. This is why we can't have nice things. Good on you for taking the time you needed and coming back to something you love because YOU want to do it, not because of an obligation. You don't owe anyone shit (contrary to what people may believe **cough**LilleeJean**cough**
Makes sense honestly, I dont blame you for leaving. I enjoyed this rambly video! Sorry to hear about the crazy people and the backstabber friends, those people suck. I can kinda relate to not being comfortable posting after your family found you bc I always feel conscious abt posting art online bc I dont want my family to ask me about it. Anyways, I'm so glad you didnt go through with the face reveal for your own safety. It was a smart move! As for the end, I think I'd like watching short topical videos over long streams since I don't have the attention for those lol. Glad you're thinking about coming back though.
Unfortunately for you and fortunately for us you do have a very nice voice which, in tandem with your personality, just lightens people's day. So happy you're doing well, and please think about your own comfort first! As for options - I'd watch anything, so don't feel pressured, but maybe you can do both? Like, an odd video about lunchables once in a month or two, and between them - 1-2 cuts from your streams?
Could listen to you talk all day. Hope you don’t feel like you need to filter because you really don’t. Keep detailing those thoughts with all your honesty and spill it all.
You can't bait us with the "also" and end the video!! :((( No but in all seriousness, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. And as someone who started watching you after your videos blew up, I just really enjoy any of the content that you've made. So you keep doing you brother and am really glad you decided to come back even after experiencing all of that weird stalker stuff!
Hey love your videos. I'm sorry this happened to you and I understand the anxiety of stalkers as a fellow true crime fanatic. I'm glad you were able to take a break and find your peace. I hope everything works out for you at the end of the day and you will be able to make the friends that are right for you.
i hate that people don’t respect boundaries at all, you are a very genuine and lovely creator and person. you have literally been my favorite for so long and i was sad when you stopped posting but also you need to do what’s best for you and your mental health! we love you thank you for being vulnerable with us & sharing! we love primink lore
i don't even make content. i flirt with the idea though and i get it. to the point where i block people i know on insta preemptively. like we don't have to follow each other everywhere in life. jeez.
Tom is forever desperate to be the cool based guy. I used to follow him but naw... he's now just a ridiculous man child. Primink you're a special person 💗 Glad you're doing better ❤ Hope we get more from you in the future.
bro I started watching you when i first started college at 18 and now i have my beachelors degree and ur back :))) it was hard moving to a new state all on my own, especially since i was very introverted, but on the nights i struggled to sleep, i binged your deep dives. they were always interesting to me and they helped to take my mind off of the change. even though i am like 5 years into being an adult now, i get a similar rush of excitement that i once had when i first graduated high school when i see ur update videos. lol well, I've yapped enough and I'm glad to see ur back :D
14:48 I relate to all of this segment so much, I’m just a tiny creator on TikTok (225k) but I used to be on the German FYP *a lot*, I got millions of views. The moment in which you start going over everything you ever said in any video omggggg I’ve never heard anybody talk about that. I’m so glad I’m not alone. Everyone around me knew of my content, people kept watching it in front of me, it was weird. I only barely managed to cope and get used to it.
Dude I had an art account with 40k+ on Instagram... I started hating my life after everyone irl knew about my account. Yes my dad always knew my deviantART username for example but at best he'd look through my gallery, and also it was only him, now everyone knowing is stressful. I ended up starting from scratch last year just because I couldn't take it anymore, wisest decision I made in the last couple of years and I wish I had done this sooner. It just started to really suck when people equated depressing/dark art = me being depressed or other weird assumptions. Yes the intentions aren't bad but it really starts to eat away at you.
@@maboroshiiroomg i get what u mean I had an art acc too with reasonable followers but my family members found out and sorta made fun of me from then onwards I js lost my will to draw and post there lol My art wasn't particularly the natural ones like landscape or anything I go bit into my emotions so being called emo in the family gathering is a bit awkward haha I'm thinking of starting a new acc with blocking all of them
Lovely to hear from you. I'm sorry you've had scary experiences, I don't blame you for re-evaluating your situation. The new take sounds like an interesting idea good luck with whatever you decide to do. 🇦🇺
Primink, I think the community you created are just glad to see you coming back! Whether that’s streaming or a video every 6 months ❤I’m excited for the future uploads !! Thank you for being a genuine & sweet person on RUclips.
thank u for coming back !! im so srry all that weird stuff happened to u?! i feel like ur vibe is just very authentic and ur very true to yourself which...tends to attract strange people who feel like they could also be authentic and comfortable in ur presence.... anyways i hope ur doing good and i cant wait to see ur next videos :)
Streaming is a pretty good idea, you can read the chat for feedback/opinions live and engage with your audience in real time. But personally i like the first option better. Primink, you should make videos YOU want to make. Doesn't have to be trendy. Doesn't have to be the latest news. Honestly random videos/topics that interests you, in this channel here and there would be fine for me. i watch your videos because of your personality (and entertainment ofc, anything you make a video on is entertaining lol), so topic isn't that much of an issue. Also please please, prioritize your health (especially your mental health) first 😭😭 the stories you told are no joke 😭 they're crazyyy Whatever decision you make, we'll support you Primink o7
Wow I can relate so much to the part about your friends finding out! I started Twitch a couple years ago when I was going through very difficult times. I didn't do it anonymously, but while I used the same handle I use everywhere else, I didn't tell anyone. I enjoyed my little public diary so much, I streamed daily! And then I found out a person from my real life was watching all the videos and recording them and sending them to certain people relevant to my life, taking clips out of context, and even those with context where I put my anger and despair into words... Took all the joy out of it. It was hard to keep on streaming like nothing had happened...
I didn’t know that he had issues with Primink before, so when I saw the part where Primink was discussing about him, I checked if I was subscribed to Turkey Tom or not.. well I was so I unsubscribed 😂 don’t ask why I don’t even remember how or when I was subscribed to begin with 🥲
22:57 how's primink supposed to take that as anything but negative?? it also has secondary shit by insinuating primink is now dishonest about that. you're fully valid in everything you've done for your own privacy and safety dude keep doing what you feel is best.
@@shannon9009 I don’t think it’s clever. It’s just that there are some people in this comment section who have no media literacy who think Primink was actually offended or that Tom was trying to be hurtful. Also you’re gay.
@@shannon9009 I never said it was clever. There are just some people in this comment section who have no media literacy and think that Primink was actually offended or that Tom was trying to be hurtful. The person who made the original comment is one of those.
@@shannon9009I mean it is, gay people joke about fitting stereotypes all the time, or the "what gave it away" line. I think you are adding more maliciousness than there is.
22:58 Tom is really disrespectful here. Labeling someone Gay just because that's what they thought they are is never gonna be funny. It is sad too that he keeps doing it to even though Primink already confronted him.
It sounds like wishful thinking. Like bruh, why do you care and think _that_ much about another man’s sеxuаlity? 🥴 The dudes that yap the loudest about others being gаy are usually raging closet cases themselves.
I thought it was funny, me and my friends joke about matching gay stereotypes, or not, often. However J don't think Tom considered the actual impact of people constantly guessing your sexuality wrong, or refusing to accept the truth, and how much that can negatively affect people. I don't think he intended to be mean but he was nieve about his jokes impact.
@@NotAnotherKuromi if the receiving end of the joke is okay with it, whatever. i havent gotten to this part of the video, but from the other comments i saw, primink didnt like it. and thats not okay. if you're told to stop once, then the person making the joke needs to stop. its just disrespectful.
Oh MAN this hit hard. I currently have the same fears (about family/friends/stalkers) when it comes to continuing my own art channel. I'm glad you spoke up about this though dude! I'm a new fan but your personality/humor is so relatable. If you ever need a channel artist, I'd love to throw my name into the hat. Have a good one!
I understand what you mean wholeheartedly.. You started this channel as a way of escaping the craziness of life & then the channel brought all the craziness back 10x times more. Also you went through absolutely terrifying things omg so many of the incidents were so weird and creepy. On a side note though, your videos brought me so much joy when I was going through alot after graduating HS and covid robbed me of a nice college experience:). If it means anything, I am extremely thankful to you for making my life a little bit more bearable when you were going through some weird 💩 as well.
Turkey Tom is an idiot....its sad when people can't be real. What a scab....I think TT was looking for a piece and was upset because he knew he wasn't going to get nothing from you. Rejection is ugly. As for your "too many plants"...dude, same! Beyond that, thanks for sharing your journey. You are hilarious and so light-hearted when you talk about intense topics, I've loved your content since the day I found it. You just seem like an ultra-cool dude that would be awesome to have as a friend to just talk to. I don't get the stalkers out there...insane! There are some sick lonely people out there, I don't blame you for pulling back. Be safe! Also, happy to get content in general, regardless of the topic...you're entertaining just being you, so let's go!😁
I found your channel while trying to find more commentary channels like Swoop, TehMimi, and Repzilla. I found your channel during the period that you were gone and watched all of your videos and was honestly sad you hadn’t posted in so long. I’m really glad to hear you are back, but I’m so sorry about all the BS you’ve been going through! Like others (and I’m not trying to be creepy), I ALSO could listen to you talk for hours. I love your humor and commentary! Even if you did like, a podcast where you just sit and talk about the experiences you’ve had or funny things you found online etc, I would be totally down for it! You seem like such a chill dude and your videos always exude calm to me, which is another reason I’ve been so drawn to your content. I want to tell you to never stop making videos, but also, if you need to for your own safety and mental health, I completely understand. You do you, and I’ll just be here supporting you from the sidelines no matter what!! ❤
Really missed your videos! Glad to hear that you’re back to the platform. 4 years is a long time but prioritising personal feelings is always the most important thing, hope you can find fun in making videos again.
I think anything goes on this channel! Loved the chat it's very wholesome to hear more about your story. Mental health and safety come first so please stay careful and keep doing what give you energy!
I sincerely hope that you're able to maintain your privacy and anonymity for as long as you want to, especially if that's what you need to be able to continue making content like you do. I'm always sad when I find a great creator that I really enjoy watching & then they change their content to fit the algorithm (which I understand, it's their job). You've always been the same person, it's like listening to a friend's voice note, it's very nice. There are so few nice corners of the internet left, I'm glad you're still here ❤️
Back in 2001 I had a LiveJournal and I was in the habit of being _very_ honest about what was going on in my teenage life to about 100 internet friends, maybe 150-ish? And then people in my offline life started finding it. I went to a party and got introduced to someone and the first thing they said was "Oh! I read your blog!" And oooooh, I did not enjoy that feeling, and that was the day I stopped blogging in public. Nothing as intense as what you went through, but I definitely get where you're coming from. Good luck with the main channel stuff, and keep staying safe out there.
I hope you have support for the mental aspect of all this crazyness. You're a joy and we miss you. Excited to see you coming back. Once a month is is better than never
Wow thats... rough. Your humor really resonated with me and I really enjoyed your videos, and for a while I would check back to see if you would upload again but you never did. I just kinda shrugged and was like "eh he probably just had life get in the way or got bored making videos". I'm glad you enjoyed your time off, at any rate! It's been good to listen to your videos again! I think the streaming idea is also pretty good, especially if you cut them up into shorter clips for people like me without an attention span and can't sit through a whole stream lol
i mean this in the nicest way possible but bro is such a good yapper that i was able to sit and listen to the entire half an hour video like its the daily news
this comment made me realise this video is 30 minutes. im 27 minutes in and thought it had only been 10 minutes tops
I love a good yapper
I might actually watch the news daily if Primink narrated it. Top-tier yapper
Too good that he gets cmsicles
no fr I struggle to watch long videos bc of my adhd but this one is so easy to follow
Rip little raccoon boi. Thank you for giving your life to lead primik to RUclips 🕊😔
This made me laugh...but poor little raccoon! What a mission to have! 😜
This comment.
rest in peace little raccoon boyo 🙏
Finally got to the point in the video where this comment makes sense.

I'm just some random 40yr old lady. But it's no surprise to me your channel blew up. Everyone is so fake trying to make content. You sound so genuine and down to earth. You are effortlessly funny. I worked graveyard shift in a manufacturing plant when I found your channel. That job was so lonely and depressing. Thank you for the para social relationship!
Do what makes you happy. You're a cool dude and your personality will get you far in life. Just keep being your authentic self and let the pieces fall where they lay

What I've learned from this video is that Turkey Tom wants you SO BAD.
This is the main take away.

I’m sorry you went through all that shit, I had a whole kid while you disappeared and I still thought about you every couple months, Long live the king.
Congrats! I also had a baby! Feels like a lifetime went by while Primink has been gone 🥲
@ congratulations!!! And yeah, he was homeboy 🙂
congratulations on the baby
I also had a baby in the time he was gone! Congrats btw 😂
@@sukiitheartist4803 everybody havin’ babies 😂, Congratulations!!!
I think the reason you attract so many people is your personality. You’re awkward, quirky, and it’s clear you like making people laugh. You’re a real person, where a lot of RUclipsrs put on a persona and it’s honestly refreshing.😅😅 I’m really sorry you went through that, and I’m glad you’re back Primink😊😊😊
Also just like the other comments I do believe Turkey Tom is down bad for you.
I'd 1000% be down to watch streams. I mean this with all sincerity and no creepiness - You are the Yap King but in an enjoyable way. I spend a lot of time home alone so having videos like yours on while I do chores, crochet, or work on my degree has been great.
I only found the channel 2-3 years ago and I remember watching a TON of videos and then seeing when you last uploaded and being kind of sad but I still subbed - just in case. I am glad you took time away and that you were able to soul search and add to your plant horde. PS - never "too many" plants
I'm gonna call this the Jenna Marbles Effect. All of the most humble, chill, down to earth YTers - the ones that SHOULD have big platforms - inevitably get fed up with some aspect of YT and step back from it as their main focus. The people who think all attention is good attention are the ones who'll create whatever content will get them the most views and they won't stop until they're dead. When the internet finally destroys itself and the cloud of smoke clears from the implosion, it's just gonna be cockroaches and Logan Paul trying to suck the meat off the dead carcasses.
I love your content but your mental health and stability are the most important things, no matter what. Stay strong dude
logan paul will be trying to film the dead carcasses
THIIIIIISSSSS. Also I miss Jenna so damn much - but I know she's better off offline ♥
I don't think Jenna necessarily got fed up with YT. She removed herself from the platform because she believed her past content warranted that. I don't really think YT itself had anything to do with her decision to leave. I miss her too but really respect her decision.
i legitimately don't mean to be rude, but it's been years since jenna made the video announcing why she was leaving and people are still misinterpreting that video and her reasoning. she didn't leave because she was 'fed up', she left because that's what she thought she needed to do to take accountability for her past actions. we can miss her and still talk about her, obviously. but people need to stop bringing her up in situations that are completely different to her own, or try to twist her reasonings to fit their narratives.
Jenna marbles stopped YT because controversial things she did in the past came up 😂 wtf are you yapping about??
“Stopped making certain jokes, stopped talking about myself” dude who is sending cumcicles and shit you ruin it for everyone. Leave this man alone so we can get the genuine content he wants to make please!
I thought this was new slang for sending hate messages. Then I got to...that.

@@CringePandaDr Grande doesn’t need to know who Primink is and I mean that in the nicest way possible 😭😭 Good quote though!!
Good one, and true!
6:02 dude you’re adorable. I watch a lot of “drama” content (honestly cause my life is boring and drama is fun) and I don’t remember what drama people put you in, but you sound like fun.
Also, I hit a squirrel once and had to pull over and cry for a while. It happens man.
Genuinely tho, do what you gotta do for your mental health. That’s most important.
Hi, answering the question at the end of the video: in light of what you said about wanting to maintain distance and avoid parasocial relationships, I think streaming on this channel might not be the best idea since that tends to be a breeding ground for the weirdest kind of people to think they're forming a connection with you 😬
You sound like a legitimately chill, kind, and earnest person, which unfortunately can attract people who don't understand boundaries or who will take a mile if you offer an inch. That sucks, dude. I know that life. I hope things are and/or get better for you.
I totally agree Primink just seems so down to earth and kind, it probably makes people feel like they know him personally
Word🫂
@@kathe_I kind of get it though. He keeps calling his fans "his friends"
@@tundra4331 I can't speak for him, but I know personally (on a much smaller scale) it is difficult to balance having a "everybody is a potential friend" personality with this parasocial world.
Like you get personal fulfillment from getting to know people and you want to be able to form organic relationships with whomever, but sometimes people have no concept or care for self-control or self-reflection. It sucks that the people making things weird suddenly becomes /your/ problem when you're just trying to be chill and friendly.
@@tundra4331 I always take that as kind of tongue in cheek whenever anyone says it to people they don't know. Sometimes even to people they do. It definitely isn't meant to be literal unless someone has very poor boundaries and would therefore make a terrible friend.
I guess a lot of modern people, not even the fully deranged, do not understand the difference between "literal" and "not literal", though.
Turkey Tom is the guy who makes a joke that doesn’t land, then doubles down like it’s everyone else’s fault
This is the excuse he made when he got called out for saying racial slurs on Twitter 😭
And it’s always a bigoted joke too lol
he's literally just a mean jerk, he always gave me leafy vibes, especially in his older content.
I don't hate the dude; I think he can SOMETIMES make good content. However, he's in such a breadtuber mindset that I genuinely cannot expect him to NOT jump at any drama that appears with little time to research. I guess he kinda always was in a way? but as of late it's felt way more rushed.
He did that with the N word. And then double down when he was called out
Is anyone stuck on the fact that Primink is only 1 year older than Lillee. The way she speaks on Primink is as if he is some much older man who has been preying on her. Primink had a real job, went to school and still made videos? Meanwhile Lillee doesn't actually interact with people her age, doesn't have a driver's license and only goes places with her mom. Her current story of having police reports and subpoenas is so deranged. Maybe Primink should be contacting these detectives and filing police reports himself?
To be fair, that's bc he probably feels way older to her. Like you said, she doesn't have any interactions with anyone her age and only talks to her parents who likely still treat her like a child. In many ways, her growth has been severely stunted. It's genuinely so sad if you sit and think about it for too long.
But also, even more likely, she's fawning to manipulate others to get them on her side.
&To be very clear, I'm NOT defending Lillee in any way. Just because she was raised the way she was does not excuse her and her parents from terrorizing Primink and countless other creators. I hope they're held accountable by the law and serve time for all the shit they've done.
@@dennistmennace Entertainment version of Munchausen By Proxy ??
@@dennistmennace It's defo a manipulation tactic. She recently made some weird video saying she was fearing for her life because she is a "petite woman" and Curtis Price (who is also the same age as her) is some big 6ft tall scary man who she is afraid is going to fly from the UK to the US to hurt her.
Primink is a guy who is intelligent and self-aware.
Lillee has been overprotected for too long and has no real experience in how to deal with backlash. And that's not the same as being bullied. Because when you're bullied, you don't think it's your own fault that often. Facing backlash and criticism and having to deal with that is where real skill comes into play.
And I'm 39. And I still get criticised for what I say online from time to time and it still happens somewhat regularly that I realize that I was in the wrong. I just like to speak my mind. That's the beauty of the internet and people as a whole to me.
I just LOVE people. In general. And I also love to improve myself. Whereas people like Lillee, they think that they're already perfect...
She kind of makes me feel bad for her tbh. It’s clear she doesn’t have a healthy relationship with her mom and she’s being coddled and not living a real life of her own. I still live at home but I pay rent, have a job, a license, a car, friends I hang out with. Lillee doesn’t. And that’s enough for me to feel some sympathy for her.
It’s always good to see a video from you man, I am glad things are looking up!
I.did that. It was a possum. Driving home at night from a long shift. I cried for about 10 minutes and prayed God took him quickly and he felt no pain. RIP little dude. I'm sorry..
Unless he was a meat smoothie, he was probably playing dead. Opposums play dead extremely well. They even make themselves smell bad. They'll play dead for hours.
Your persomality shines through everything, that'a why you went so popular. Your voice makes people happy. People can get really wierd here in online world. But I would LOVE for you to return. You are sorely missed.
So true!
YES, and there were always comments from a bunch of us saying how much we love his giggle, haha. He seems like such a good egg.
This! I think a persons voice dictates a lot. Some youtubers, part of the reason i kept watching them was because their voice just clicks
Yep! Listening to him feels like listening to a pal, like I'm just winding down after a long day and we're hanging out and he tells me stories from his wildly interesting life 😂😅
YES
Primink why is everyone so weird to you??? This is crazy
0:36 "I don't think people like me can...go to prison. *twinkish giggle*"

You're soo good at being a RUclipsr, i never get bored listening to you, and i always wait for your videos, I don't care what you're talking about, i'm so sorry you're dealing with crazy people.
Love ya Primink (in a friendly, non ice cube tray way). I prefer option 2. Glad to have you back.
"Ily in a non ice cube try way" should be a community meme lol
Greatest comment ever. I second all of it
Option 2 is good as long as we get edited videos afterwards. I can't watch streams lol. But I'll respect either option he goes with!
@@aydolette4665ngl I'm a little worried it'll give people ideas if we turn it into a joke
I was the one who sent him that ice cube package 😊
Parasocial relationships are weird. Stay safe and well Primink.
We all missed Primink because of how fantastic his video essays and analysis were. I personally think that is the best case scenario when it comes to how your audience views you. If after 4 years of mostly absence from your channel people are still consistently checking in to see if you have possibly returned and have not lost interest it speaks to, imo, the fact that what you are providing in content is a cut above the rest.
Us fans of Prim are fans because of the content he produces, not because of his online persona.
Does anyone else agree?
literally everyone has a parasocial relationship lmfao; it's not a bad thing. it can be. just like normal relationships. you've ever been a fan of anything or anyone that doesn't know you exist - it's parasocial. that's literally all it takes. this is what happens when people get ahold of terms and twist the definition to something it's not.
being a young person in a serious job where everyone is older than u is fr such a surreal experience
Man...I felt that racoon story. Your channel blew up because you are incredibly relatable and easy to listen to. So glad the "break" is over and you're trying out a return! Wish you nothing but smooth sailing and sane peeps in your dm's!
Watched Turky Tom a few casual time and then the vibes were off and THEN i discovered a whole rabbit hole of shit and was like "thank god i can feel the vibes😭" maybe my autism prevents me from understanding social cues but BOI is my radar good
I have not discovered the rabbit hole, but I also watched TT a few times and stopped because of his attitude. Snarky humor is fine, but he seemed genuinely unkind and edgy for the sake of being hurtful or something. Like you said, the vibes were off.
@@krisdianeyess absolutely. he reminds me of leafy is here. sometimes he’s rude and mean just to be rude and mean and edgy. he definitely spends a lot of time on 4chan and kiwi farms. also, he can’t take accountability for anything. he said racial slurs and then double downed. he’s pretty hateful and his videos are rushed and many things are often wrong
I don't understand why people like you take Primink making a joke as something to seriously respond to with hate for Tom - How do you even remotely think that part was serious? He LITERALLY said he was joking after what he said. Primink has been in Toms stream chats since, pretty certain they are absolutely fine.
@@Suna_Twitch none of us are even talking about the situation between primark and turkey Tom.
Exactly same experience here
*is a sweet person*
“tHeY mUsT bE gAy”

He was joking.
@@KnightOfTheWired I have no idea who any of these people are so… good to know!
@@KnightOfTheWiredHe clearly wasn't. He genuinely believed he was right (as if he has a built in gaydar??) and that it HAD to be shared to the world despite Primink being uncomfortable with it.
@@KnightOfTheWired even if it's a joke, Tom doesn't know him like that. So weird
parasocial relationships are the absolute worst, things get scary so fast
I can understand what you mean. Anonymity isnt just something people use to say cruel things. Its legitimately a way for people to be themselves or be filter free when they can't in their real life. When people start trying to find the person behind the anonymity it takes away a safe space for people, and adds all this pressure from weird expectations people get in their heads that project on to you. I hope you can still have that space and still be able to yap (go yap king go) about personal stuff if you so wish without people pressuring you and just being wierd. Love ya primink! (In a normal audience/viewer way)
As someone raised on the internet, I do think it's important to recognise that there's no true anonymity. Ever. It's a shame because I also feel the allure of blurting all of my opinions online under anonymity.
Anonymity is kind of paradoxical, the whole allure is that it's a chance to show a new side of yourself without assumptions about who you already are. But once you've shown a new side of yourself, you're no longer anonymous, that's just a new persona for people to base assumptions on. Then you want to reset and go more anonymous again and it's a whole cycle.
I've been on the internet since around 2005. Mostly just as a viewer, but yeah. The older I get, the less I find I desire to post much about my real life in general. The internet has pretty much always been a place for me to post/share about stuff I'm currently hyperfixating on (and then I'm just a more toned-down version of myself irl), so the older I get, the less I really want to post things with my face or about my life since it all just feels like "hey, that's private" and not necessarily interesting to those circles I'm most active in. It's always served well as a good balance, for me, but it's only in my late 20s/early 30s that I've come to appreciate being mostly anonymous. Not to say mean or nasty things, never been about that. But just to have the online world and the real world stay in separate spheres.
JESUS MAN So relieved to hear from you! And even more relieved to hear you still have that same adorable personality and the fame didnt get to you, the lady and her mother, didnt get to you, none of it! Nice to get an update, thanks for that. oh by the way i forgot to say whatever you wanna put on this channel is awesome, just to get some smol scraps of content sir!
I totally understand. I have a small anonymous cat account that’s mostly about my rescues but sometimes I post about my life. One day I posted that I was feeling sad & for some reason my entire family called me to ask how I was doing. Now I just post about my cats. I miss having my safe space.
At the beginning of the video but glad to see people hating on Turkey Tom! Remember how in Discord servers he thought it was so funny to say the n-word every two seconds with horrible stereotypes and then got defended on Twitter for that, getting a black guy saying Turkey Tom is racist to get harrassed? I do.
Never liked the guy so I'm not surprised at all.
He kept using his age as a defense but then would go onto Ruben sims streams and say the n word again and again. It was clearly just him being racist.
Not just Turkey Tom but Nick DeOrio too. Some of the videos in support of Primink in the Lillee situation I don't watch because of the r-word slur being thrown around so casually. Not to mention they give off major right wing (but calls themselves centrist) vibes. I remember when they tried to gang up on D'Angelo Wallace for calling turkey tom out.
@@moonelysian77 so what if they were right wing? The fear mongering on the internet over right wing people and conservative is ridiculous. They are normal people just like you and me. Both sides have bad people sure but most people are just regular people with slightly different beliefs than you.
@@brosef5033 You just said a bunch of nothing to me. "slightly different beliefs" but one side is actively trying to take my rights away. I'm also not going to glaze contrarian men that masquerade as centrist.
I always knew Turkey Tom was coming from a malicious place but the second he said Sneako shouldn't have been banned from RUclips I was incapable of ignoring that stuff and stopped casually watching his videos.
For me it was when he said the r slur wasn’t a slur :/
@arissamazumder most of us special needs/ developmentally disabled people don't think it is a slur.
@@arissamazumder did he say that in one of his main RUclips videos? I never looked into the guy until that, but I remember making it a point never to look at his comments. After the Sneako video I looked him up and saw he also said it should be ok to say the n word.
Yeah ive known about Tom for years before he massively blew up and im so suprised that he's gotten as far as he has after calling Mr. Enter a p*do and doubling down on all of the Pyro allegations
@@lostinthemasses I don’t really remember cause it was a while ago, but the video was abt the whole illuminaughti situation iirc
What makes me sad about Lilly Jean is that if someone could have been honest with her she might have had a chance to be a normal beauty RUclipsr. Like she is relatively pretty and if she worked on her skills people could have liked her content, but she is delusional
Shes...definitely not. She looks corn-fed and inbred
No, I 100% agree with you. The last time he talked about her, I was like damn she is actually pretty and if she just behaved normally, she could probably do well. She clearly has the energy and loves to act lmao, just put that energy into your channel instead of harassing people and coming up with lies. It is really bizarre.
She's so insane that I genuinely cannot see her as pretty in any way. Personality has a big impact on me, though it's probably also bc of that serial killer look she has in her eyes. But in a different timeline where she wasn't as crazy, it could work.
I point to her mom. I've always gotten the "I'm living my dream thru my daughter" vibe from her mom.
She’s been coddled and “protected” from the real world from day one. I was fairly sheltered as a kid, but it’s still nothing compared to her. She doesn’t know what it’s like to have a job or any sense of independence and that’s really sad to me. Her mom (and if she has a dad, I don’t know) have really failed her.
19:15 kinda random but my theory is maybe his little brother passed away and he felt like he was paying tribute in a way
That's the vibe I got. Given that the viewer never really did anything other than give rather generous amounts of money (totally get why Primik politely turned that down, tho. Someone gifting that large amount of money just always feels wrong to keep it), it sounds like the guy might have taken a particular liking to Primik because of something like that (especially since the viewer never did anything too weird like the c*msiciles guy).
primink youve genuinely always been my favorite youtuber, im sorry about all these crummy people youve had to deal with, you dont deserve it at all :(
People thirsting after Primink was not on My "Weird Stuff revealed in 2024" Bingo Card.
Honestlyi wasnt surprises since everyone called him a twink.
That was definitely earlier than 2024, you're late to the party lol
@@ruintherenaissance Damn, I need crawl out from under My Rock more often lmfao.
Same. Idky but I visualize like a Tyler Oakley at the beginning of his career type of person listening to him.
You must not be in priminks discord lol. All they do is thirst after him and cultish stuff there
My advice is always the same for everyone: do whatever you feel like doing that day. If a stream sounds fun, do a stream. If it sounds better to just make a video, make a video. If something feels like way too much work that day, don't do it that day.
agreed!!
im smiling so hard listening to prim talk about how well he's doing, traveling, cooking, the house and the plants!! so sweet! this is the giant update we needed :) welcome kinda-back officially
So.... I was recommended this video knowing nothing of this person or the context! Can you help me out?
He said he was gone for 4 years but he has a main channel that was also posted on even last year. Was there a hacking or something?
Outside of this slander issue and all the rest?
@@PriyaPans he was gone for 4 years but it wasn't 4 years ago _now_
Literally I grew up with you in all eras. This feels like interacting with a cousin you haven’t seen in several years
I am so grateful you're still around because you're so great to listen to. Miss your videos, glad to see you back! :)
Letting you know: I would prefer your usual style over streams. That's probably because I just can't get into them and even when some of my favorite RUclipsrs start streaming (Boy Boy and Ididathing) I very much enjoy the scripted and "produced" stuff over the streams.
Me too!! I try to watch live or even just casual unscripted videos from creators that I normally really enjoy but end up bailing on the video every time.
"If I am ever in a truecrime podcast, because someone killed me... know that I am not happy about that" line of this century
It sucks when something you use as an outlet gets outed, so to speak. Hope you can still find joy in making the monthly videos going forward! We love them and always hope the best for you, online and irl.
Oooh! I'm so excited to get new stories from you! I love them so much! I was so sad when you disappeared but I wholeheartedly understand the problem! I can't wait to see what you have in store!
31:31 omg I'd love a stream, if that's what you decide to do. this video should serve as a PSA to everyone, DONT BE WEIRD AND CREEPY TO UR FAV CREATORS, THEY ARE HUMANS TOO. listening to some of these stories made my jaw drop likeeeee😭😭 glad ur okay and you've come through the other side, hope these weirdos stop harassing you. as someone who binged ur vids in 2020 when you took a break, I feel like I've been on a whole journey as a viewer from the lillee jean stuff to now. excited for what happens next!! 🫶✨️✨️
Well, at least you didn't triple down on 2016!
I honestly missed that little giggle at the end signing off from videos (not in a creepy way, just in an endearing, fond way). Some people take parasocial relationships too seriously and they need to *chill* tf out gosh. This is why we can't have nice things. Good on you for taking the time you needed and coming back to something you love because YOU want to do it, not because of an obligation. You don't owe anyone shit (contrary to what people may believe **cough**LilleeJean**cough**
Makes sense honestly, I dont blame you for leaving. I enjoyed this rambly video! Sorry to hear about the crazy people and the backstabber friends, those people suck. I can kinda relate to not being comfortable posting after your family found you bc I always feel conscious abt posting art online bc I dont want my family to ask me about it. Anyways, I'm so glad you didnt go through with the face reveal for your own safety. It was a smart move! As for the end, I think I'd like watching short topical videos over long streams since I don't have the attention for those lol. Glad you're thinking about coming back though.
Glad to see your kinda back. Peace and Love from Rhode Island.
Don't let her get to you Primink, keep pushing forward!
Unfortunately for you and fortunately for us you do have a very nice voice which, in tandem with your personality, just lightens people's day. So happy you're doing well, and please think about your own comfort first!
As for options - I'd watch anything, so don't feel pressured, but maybe you can do both? Like, an odd video about lunchables once in a month or two, and between them - 1-2 cuts from your streams?
DROP EVERYTHING PRIMINK IS HERE- (also I hope you're okay 😭)
Could listen to you talk all day. Hope you don’t feel like you need to filter because you really don’t. Keep detailing those thoughts with all your honesty and spill it all.
Primink your backstory makes you such a main character 😭
if it hasn't, it will get better primink o7
I have the flu rn and was in the middle of a coughing fit, miraculously stopped when I saw this notification. thank you primink for saving me.
You can't bait us with the "also" and end the video!! :(((
No but in all seriousness, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. And as someone who started watching you after your videos blew up, I just really enjoy any of the content that you've made. So you keep doing you brother and am really glad you decided to come back even after experiencing all of that weird stalker stuff!
I hope you find a nice 16:08 girl who's never heard of Primink. I dont love you just enjoy the vids. Ha
I'm just so glad you're back. I've missed your videos 'cause they're always so fun. So please keep uploading. Thanks
Hey love your videos. I'm sorry this happened to you and I understand the anxiety of stalkers as a fellow true crime fanatic. I'm glad you were able to take a break and find your peace. I hope everything works out for you at the end of the day and you will be able to make the friends that are right for you.
i hate that people don’t respect boundaries at all, you are a very genuine and lovely creator and person. you have literally been my favorite for so long and i was sad when you stopped posting but also you need to do what’s best for you and your mental
health! we love you thank you for being vulnerable with us & sharing! we love primink lore
15:39 I WATCHED THIS VIDEO PRIMINK
(family finding out about a personal youtube channel is like one of my worst fears 😭😭)
i don't even make content. i flirt with the idea though and i get it. to the point where i block people i know on insta preemptively. like we don't have to follow each other everywhere in life. jeez.
Tom is forever desperate to be the cool based guy.
I used to follow him but naw... he's now just a ridiculous man child.
Primink you're a special person 💗
Glad you're doing better ❤
Hope we get more from you in the future.
I was subbed to TT for a while but the more I watched his videos the more he just sounded like a cookie cutter idiot.
You know they’re friends right?
bro I started watching you when i first started college at 18 and now i have my beachelors degree and ur back :))) it was hard moving to a new state all on my own, especially since i was very introverted, but on the nights i struggled to sleep, i binged your deep dives. they were always interesting to me and they helped to take my mind off of the change. even though i am like 5 years into being an adult now, i get a similar rush of excitement that i once had when i first graduated high school when i see ur update videos. lol well, I've yapped enough and I'm glad to see ur back :D
Glad you are back! I’ll watch whatever you post. Just have fun with it!!
14:48 I relate to all of this segment so much, I’m just a tiny creator on TikTok (225k) but I used to be on the German FYP *a lot*, I got millions of views. The moment in which you start going over everything you ever said in any video omggggg I’ve never heard anybody talk about that. I’m so glad I’m not alone. Everyone around me knew of my content, people kept watching it in front of me, it was weird. I only barely managed to cope and get used to it.
Dude I had an art account with 40k+ on Instagram... I started hating my life after everyone irl knew about my account. Yes my dad always knew my deviantART username for example but at best he'd look through my gallery, and also it was only him, now everyone knowing is stressful. I ended up starting from scratch last year just because I couldn't take it anymore, wisest decision I made in the last couple of years and I wish I had done this sooner. It just started to really suck when people equated depressing/dark art = me being depressed or other weird assumptions. Yes the intentions aren't bad but it really starts to eat away at you.
@@maboroshiiroomg i get what u mean I had an art acc too with reasonable followers but my family members found out and sorta made fun of me from then onwards I js lost my will to draw and post there lol
My art wasn't particularly the natural ones like landscape or anything I go bit into my emotions so being called emo in the family gathering is a bit awkward haha
I'm thinking of starting a new acc with blocking all of them
...What the hell are people calling 225k+ accounts tiny
@@Chaoktaruktothat’s what I was thinking… tiny is >1000
Ultimately, just do whatever you would enjoy most, that would be my advice.
Protect this human at all costs
Lovely to hear from you. I'm sorry you've had scary experiences, I don't blame you for re-evaluating your situation. The new take sounds like an interesting idea good luck with whatever you decide to do. 🇦🇺
Primink, I think the community you created are just glad to see you coming back! Whether that’s streaming or a video every 6 months ❤I’m excited for the future uploads !! Thank you for being a genuine & sweet person on RUclips.
Now, we need a why I came back to RUclips after 4 years video. :) After all those negative experiences it's commendable that you came back.
thank u for coming back !! im so srry all that weird stuff happened to u?! i feel like ur vibe is just very authentic and ur very true to yourself which...tends to attract strange people who feel like they could also be authentic and comfortable in ur presence.... anyways i hope ur doing good and i cant wait to see ur next videos :)
Streaming is a pretty good idea, you can read the chat for feedback/opinions live and engage with your audience in real time.
But personally i like the first option better. Primink, you should make videos YOU want to make. Doesn't have to be trendy. Doesn't have to be the latest news.
Honestly random videos/topics that interests you, in this channel here and there would be fine for me. i watch your videos because of your personality (and entertainment ofc, anything you make a video on is entertaining lol), so topic isn't that much of an issue.
Also please please, prioritize your health (especially your mental health) first 😭😭 the stories you told are no joke 😭 they're crazyyy
Whatever decision you make, we'll support you Primink o7
Honestly just happy to hear that you’re back, I’d love to just listen to you talk about things that you’re passionate about
Wow I can relate so much to the part about your friends finding out!
I started Twitch a couple years ago when I was going through very difficult times. I didn't do it anonymously, but while I used the same handle I use everywhere else, I didn't tell anyone.
I enjoyed my little public diary so much, I streamed daily! And then I found out a person from my real life was watching all the videos and recording them and sending them to certain people relevant to my life, taking clips out of context, and even those with context where I put my anger and despair into words...
Took all the joy out of it. It was hard to keep on streaming like nothing had happened...
This was the last straw I needed to unsubscribe from Turkey Tom. Been debating it, and not to be a crazy fan, but Team Primink
And welcome back King :)
can I ask what the other reasons were? just curious.
I didn’t know that he had issues with Primink before, so when I saw the part where Primink was discussing about him, I checked if I was subscribed to Turkey Tom or not.. well I was so I unsubscribed 😂 don’t ask why I don’t even remember how or when I was subscribed to begin with 🥲
@@syndae he's a racist and a transphobe, that should be enough
Brother they are friends and fans of one another
22:57 how's primink supposed to take that as anything but negative?? it also has secondary shit by insinuating primink is now dishonest about that. you're fully valid in everything you've done for your own privacy and safety dude keep doing what you feel is best.
It’s just a joke bro. Primink just said so himself that he wasn’t offended. Some of you just don’t know Tom
@@rigorm136 "Haha gay" really isn't the clever joke you seem to think it is.
@@shannon9009 I don’t think it’s clever. It’s just that there are some people in this comment section who have no media literacy who think Primink was actually offended or that Tom was trying to be hurtful. Also you’re gay.
@@shannon9009 I never said it was clever. There are just some people in this comment section who have no media literacy and think that Primink was actually offended or that Tom was trying to be hurtful. The person who made the original comment is one of those.
@@shannon9009I mean it is, gay people joke about fitting stereotypes all the time, or the "what gave it away" line. I think you are adding more maliciousness than there is.
22:58 Tom is really disrespectful here. Labeling someone Gay just because that's what they thought they are is never gonna be funny. It is sad too that he keeps doing it to even though Primink already confronted him.
It sounds like wishful thinking. Like bruh, why do you care and think _that_ much about another man’s sеxuаlity? 🥴 The dudes that yap the loudest about others being gаy are usually raging closet cases themselves.
Turkey tom is an awful person and has been for a while, to the point D'Angelo Wallace made a video on him years ago.
Turkey Tom the type of guy to have people crying about him in other RUclipsrs comment sections. 😘
I thought it was funny, me and my friends joke about matching gay stereotypes, or not, often. However J don't think Tom considered the actual impact of people constantly guessing your sexuality wrong, or refusing to accept the truth, and how much that can negatively affect people. I don't think he intended to be mean but he was nieve about his jokes impact.
@@NotAnotherKuromi if the receiving end of the joke is okay with it, whatever. i havent gotten to this part of the video, but from the other comments i saw, primink didnt like it. and thats not okay. if you're told to stop once, then the person making the joke needs to stop. its just disrespectful.
Oh MAN this hit hard. I currently have the same fears (about family/friends/stalkers) when it comes to continuing my own art channel.
I'm glad you spoke up about this though dude! I'm a new fan but your personality/humor is so relatable.
If you ever need a channel artist, I'd love to throw my name into the hat.
Have a good one!
I understand what you mean wholeheartedly.. You started this channel as a way of escaping the craziness of life & then the channel brought all the craziness back 10x times more. Also you went through absolutely terrifying things omg so many of the incidents were so weird and creepy. On a side note though, your videos brought me so much joy when I was going through alot after graduating HS and covid robbed me of a nice college experience:). If it means anything, I am extremely thankful to you for making my life a little bit more bearable when you were going through some weird 💩 as well.
This is actually scary omg some people are so wild and crazy man I’m so sorry u went through this 💖
I literally ended a conversation as fast as possible when I got this video notification xD Welcome back, we missed you :)
Turkey Tom is an idiot....its sad when people can't be real. What a scab....I think TT was looking for a piece and was upset because he knew he wasn't going to get nothing from you. Rejection is ugly.
As for your "too many plants"...dude, same!
Beyond that, thanks for sharing your journey. You are hilarious and so light-hearted when you talk about intense topics, I've loved your content since the day I found it. You just seem like an ultra-cool dude that would be awesome to have as a friend to just talk to. I don't get the stalkers out there...insane! There are some sick lonely people out there, I don't blame you for pulling back. Be safe!
Also, happy to get content in general, regardless of the topic...you're entertaining just being you, so let's go!😁
Brah, increase your media literacy. He was joking. Primprim and Tom are on ok terms.
@@KnightOfTheWired Finally, a rational person in this comment section
Tom and Primink follow each other, and in this video, Primink says he was joking
I found your channel while trying to find more commentary channels like Swoop, TehMimi, and Repzilla. I found your channel during the period that you were gone and watched all of your videos and was honestly sad you hadn’t posted in so long. I’m really glad to hear you are back, but I’m so sorry about all the BS you’ve been going through! Like others (and I’m not trying to be creepy), I ALSO could listen to you talk for hours. I love your humor and commentary! Even if you did like, a podcast where you just sit and talk about the experiences you’ve had or funny things you found online etc, I would be totally down for it! You seem like such a chill dude and your videos always exude calm to me, which is another reason I’ve been so drawn to your content.
I want to tell you to never stop making videos, but also, if you need to for your own safety and mental health, I completely understand. You do you, and I’ll just be here supporting you from the sidelines no matter what!! ❤
Really missed your videos! Glad to hear that you’re back to the platform. 4 years is a long time but prioritising personal feelings is always the most important thing, hope you can find fun in making videos again.
8:32 old people are honest as fudge brownies. I love old folks
I know that the ice cube thing will haunt my nights.
Not surprised Turkey Tom is a jerk.
You can’t be mean to primink 😭😭 I gotta stop watching Tom
Admittedly I'm only 3mins into the vid but what did Tom do?? He loves Primink! Anytime he brings Primink up he showers him with praise!
I'm not even sure what the appeal of this Tom guy is? Seems like every other braindead commentator with no values or thoughts who just follows trends.
@@josecezar7903 Right?! I'm so confused now and kind of dreading getting to that part of the video but I need to know now!
@@josecezar7903isn't it nick deorio who praises primink?
I think anything goes on this channel! Loved the chat it's very wholesome to hear more about your story. Mental health and safety come first so please stay careful and keep doing what give you energy!
These weirdos fucking it up for the rest of us. Leave Prim alone dammit!
I’m glad to hear you’ll be coming back! 🖤
Oh my God... Dropped everything to watch this 🎉
17:01 this is exactly EXACTLY what happened to me with instagram, which i used to have so much fun with 😣
I sincerely hope that you're able to maintain your privacy and anonymity for as long as you want to, especially if that's what you need to be able to continue making content like you do. I'm always sad when I find a great creator that I really enjoy watching & then they change their content to fit the algorithm (which I understand, it's their job). You've always been the same person, it's like listening to a friend's voice note, it's very nice. There are so few nice corners of the internet left, I'm glad you're still here ❤️
Back in 2001 I had a LiveJournal and I was in the habit of being _very_ honest about what was going on in my teenage life to about 100 internet friends, maybe 150-ish? And then people in my offline life started finding it. I went to a party and got introduced to someone and the first thing they said was "Oh! I read your blog!" And oooooh, I did not enjoy that feeling, and that was the day I stopped blogging in public. Nothing as intense as what you went through, but I definitely get where you're coming from. Good luck with the main channel stuff, and keep staying safe out there.
4:34 prim you are the cutest voice ever ‘it’s a lil personal😌😌’ I’m really happy you’re back even periodically🖤
I hope you have support for the mental aspect of all this crazyness.
You're a joy and we miss you. Excited to see you coming back. Once a month is is better than never
Wow thats... rough. Your humor really resonated with me and I really enjoyed your videos, and for a while I would check back to see if you would upload again but you never did. I just kinda shrugged and was like "eh he probably just had life get in the way or got bored making videos". I'm glad you enjoyed your time off, at any rate! It's been good to listen to your videos again! I think the streaming idea is also pretty good, especially if you cut them up into shorter clips for people like me without an attention span and can't sit through a whole stream lol
