- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Nigahiga had one of the most successful careers in RUclips history, however, he hasn't uploaded a single video since April 2020. Why? This video will explore the disappearance of Ryan Higa, so we can understand why he very suddenly quit making youtube videos.
This is, Why Nigahiga Quit RUclips - A Full Explanation
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2
Also, the idea for this video was inspired by sirsurgenor who posted a video on a similar topic in September 2022 titled "Why nigahiga Quit RUclips" You can watch their version here - • Why nigahiga Quit RUclips
Ryan quit RUclips the right way. No huge controversy. No overdramatic drawn out goodbye. Just slowed down his content to ease his fans into it. Truly a legend of RUclips!
When I was 12 I had shortness of breath laughing at his How To Be series.
@@chudzijwe don't care
@@yojackchill6652 bro thinks he’s big man
I remember How to Be Series, it was a fun series.
Tbf he was never controversial
Ryan will forever be The GOAT of RUclips💫for me. His word play is just unmatchable
Ohhh bro u here
oh bhai live insaan bhi aa gya
Wow you also watch SunnyV2 🫡
You are the real account 😮😮much love brother ❤❤
Khudka content sudarle bkl
He got out when he could with no drama or controversy. He recognised the signs that staying too long wasn't going to be healthy for him or those around him and chose to stop. I wish him well wherever he is now.
There was plenty of drama with that Blue Lives Matter crap. Basically exposed the fact that he doesn't know a single Black person at all lol
did you really copy the 18k likes comment that said he got out with no drama or controversy, lol have original thoughts and words my dude
He had an energy drink company that was pretty good but he discontinued it
@@shinydmike8490they obviously didn't copy it as it has different words. You do realize literally nothing is an original thought, right? And that when people speak on celebrities and influencers, at least 50% of the engagement is going to be the same words in different flavors.
@@sagesavage8114 I do have an original thought, you’re a doofus
Jenna Marbles , Ryan , Smosh etc.
Grateful these legends made our childhood
oh hello mr frank
Smosh still exists but nothing like Anthony and Ian
Agreed
RUclipsrs have become 'legends' now, haven't they ? Oh boy..
Wow you people are young if these guys made your childhood or extremely privileged
Unlike most RUclipsrs who make a whole hour long goodbye video when leaving RUclips, Ryan decided to leave RUclips slowly, making less & less videos overtime till he no longer wanted to continue making content. Easing his fans into accepting his departure of the platform instead of a sudden goodbye video. Its sad that he’s left but I’m proud of him.
@Mathew Beam 🅥 ok.
@@MVPVIK I’ll forever miss the beanie boi himself. 😔
@don't click my pfp we honestly don’t care, bot.
hes still on youtube
not sure if you copied this comment or someone copied you.
He was depressed and no one was taking him seriously. The dude laughed like it was funny. All I hope is that he is doing well and is happy. He deserves peace and happiness. I am glad he did what was right for him, and we hope he knows he is missed.
He should look into Islam
@@inaam2009idiot

@@rayshafi2855 Islam is the truth and the fastest growing religion, why wouldn’t u at least look into ?
@@inaam2009because religion isnt for everyone especially a depressed person. Buddhism is more likely to help than an Abrahamic religion. Plus if hes already Christian them there's no point to it.
Ryan was a HUGE part of my childhood. I still watch his stream highlights every once in a while. I would love to be able to thank him for the great memories.
tehee!!!
2k likes and only 1 reply? Lemme fix that
We are talking about NigaHiga not RYAN RN
He may have retired from RUclips but his content is so masterfully crafted with time and dedication put into it that his videos have become timeless.
I could honestly watch them over and over again.
This.
I liked the energy drinks he made. It's sad it got discontinued
Its like yall don't know what a breakup does to a man lol. He broke up with his girl that means self-reflections and putting most things on the side because bro is probably thinking what she doing when they are not together anymore. She's probably menially fucking him up on social media like any other girls does when they breakup.

Ryan is such a gem in this industry man. The videos he had done, the type of levels he had and all of it were executed so perfectly. Loved his content and era man miss his videos

Alot of people from this generation wont understand the legendary status of the guy during his youtube days , an absolute legend , as it feels really sad seeing him just fade away from the limelight , but it feels really good seeing that he is taking good care of himself and feels happy , if thats what makes him happy , then so be it , or hopefully he makes a legendary return back
Those people were you know going outside and making memories that way
@@perrycoffey5410 Lol you can have both, it's not as if Ryan was uploading daily skits or hours long videos
Ryan was such a huge gem for this platform. While it is truly a shame that he moved on from it, it makes me really happy that he is taking good care of himself rather than sacrificing his mental health for the content.
this is quite literally copy and pasted.
Why are u everywhere
imagine removing "higa" and adding an extra 'G' to "Niga"
@@AliensAreCuteNgl Gniga. 😏
Yooo Sup Drifty
No, drama, no major controversies, no click bait, no trend hopping.....just topped RUclips for a decade with quality content and went out on his own terms. Him, Smosh, Kevjumba and RayWilliamJohnson were the true OGs of this site.
Legend
Trend hopping is part of the RUclips game mate.
I would edit that list of names.
Ian and Anthony sold Smosh for basically nothing. They then went onto bleeding viewers and subs for YEARS and have made shitty for content just as long.
RWJ is a known copyright abuser.
But hey, we can always seperate the art from the artist and enjoy their good contributions.
@IKillAnimalsOnYT your pfp says it all no need to read your name
@@casperryborg4869 tf are you talking about if you hate then just say it
well, making a podcast is "trend hoping" though. he tried to stay relevant until the "podcast trap" eats him up.
Like there's not alot of channels who jumped into podcasting who kept up with their original content. at worst they stopped, at best it slowed down significantly, like 1 original content after 30 podcast episodes.
After seeing SO many careers go down the toilet on this platform, it’s nice to see a guy leave on good terms. I’ve never heard anything bad about Ryan, no major controversies, etc.
Respect to the man
Ryan was such an icon of my childhood among my friends and I. Huge respect for him still now!

I agree and I’m the only reply who isn’t a bot atm
There's nothing weird or suspicious about this. People change, they grow up and move on with their lives. Their original videos are like almost 20 years old. Having said that, I wish Sean the best with his engineering career in California and hopefully Ryan and Sean can meet again for a reunion
well look at the last min of the video.. few days back Ryan and the RHPC crew were having a mini reunion.
Well, Sunny did say it was an explanation, not a investigation
@@RockinRocketScience Yea that's true. The first few seconds of the video and the background music made it seem like it was a mystery
Yep, they just got burned out and changed careers. Not a big deal, lots of people who dislike their job wind up quitting and changing careers.
@@jon1689 I did watch the video.
Ryan was and forever will have a special place in my life. He pretty much shaped my entire teenage life. Everytime life would get overwhelming I'd immediately just go to his channel and rewatch his older videos. He was the only influencer/youtuber/celebrity I adored so much that I went as far as actually getting his merch just so that I could support him. It's been 6 years and not once have I taken off his iconic "teehee" wristband. As heartbroken as I was when I heard he quit RUclips, I'm so glad that he prioritized his mental health and wellbeing and took this break. He will forever be one of my most favourite youtubers and even if I'm in my 60s I'll always be looking forward for his content
No discussion needed… Ryan is the goat of early RUclips!
Man's been the GOAT of RUclips for more than a decade, he deserves to take a rest and enjoy the fruits of his labor
4 bots, that's mad
Ryan, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ you filled a lot of us with joy especially in your earlier days when I’d watch you everyday after middle school. You’re a great person; always do what makes you happy.
Ryan(Nigahiga),PewDiePie,Smosh we’re the 3 channels that really started it all and we’re apart of most people’s childhood. I love how Ryan quit RUclips the right way not over exaggerating, not dragging it out. No controversy just quitting in a good way. Ryan will always have a special place in my heart.
PewDiePie came later. The true OG's started in the 2006-2009 era

@@williamanthony915 given his popularity that's L Opinion.
@@personalemail9329 Kim K is popular. Doesn't mean she's talented.
Only kids found him funny because they hadn't been exposed to decent content before.
And given how everyone forgot about him, it shows that the content was low quality.
Ryan is still one of the greatest people that ever showed up on RUclips. It's a shame that he left.
what made him so great? never even heard of him until this video.
@@roseoverdose6451 everyone on youtube in the 2010s knew who he is
@@roseoverdose6451 there are people on this platform that don't know the name nigahiga... this is the beginning of the end
Damn he basically is my childhood :( Absolutely love his content
@@roseoverdose6451 how have u never heard of him? He was a youtube legend back in the days. If you grew up watching youtube in early 2010s you wouldve known him. I remember as a kid my friends and i used to go to my house just to watch nigahiga videos
I had been watching his videos since his early days and his videos were such a big part of my pre-teen and early teen years. My friends and I made our own silly videos and had many inside jokes that were inspired by his work. I had known he was burnt out but I didn’t realize the extent till watching this video. I just wish I could shake his hand or give him a hug and thank him for playing such a major part in my life. Honestly, rather than feel sad I’m glad he’s searching for his next thing in life. He’s already left us with so much, he’s overdue for some self love.
Random fact here :
I actually went to highschool with Edenkai so I was really excited to see him talking with Ryan on his podcast!
This guy is one of the first youtubers I watched regularly, and has had such a massive influence on the type of content I want to make and consume it's unreal. He was my favorite youtuber from 7-8th grade, and I remember watching his videos regularly and constantly anticipating a new upload. It's insane how much I adored this guy. I wish him luck in his new ventures and that he'll come back to RUclips whenever he feels comfortable
What is 7-8 grade in uk
@@FifaEditz27like year 6 to 7
Ryan was one of the most popular, and beloved RUclipsrs. He deserves to step away and do whatever makes him happy. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the time when nigahiga, smosh, Jenna marbles, and pewdiepie were in their prime, but mostly because that was when I was a kid so I just have nostalgia behind it. We’re all just getting older which is fine, it’s good to put things down and start new chapters.
I just revisited his videos recently, literally binged it and I can 100% assure him that his first ever video coming back, if he ever does come back, will most likely explode the internet.
I loved him so much. He made the early 2010's so memorable for me and my brother. I often go back and see old videos that brought me so much laughter. I'm so sure he's doing very well after he quit.
Nigahiga was one of my favorite RUclipsrs back in the early 2010s. What made him stand out from the rest was the high level of creativity he implemented in his skits.
i remember first finding out ryan’s channel through his “how to be ninja”. man i hadn’t realized just how many years had passed since then. i loved his content so much, and honestly just sad i can’t see more new content from him. no matter the reason, he was a legend, and one who shaped my childhood
Glad I grew up with his era of youtube, no one makes videos like this anymore. i miss oldschool youtube
Like many people, we watched Nigahiga and Kevjumba when we were young. But now we've grown up and matured, just as Ryan and Kevin. I can only appreciate them being a part of my childhood.
Lol
I never watched him, but he is a staple and an icon in RUclips and internet history. He’s been here since the start ad had a huge impact on the culture. Everyone loves dude, and I hope he finds purpose (because it seems like he’s kinda lost with where to take his life since he already made it huge). Prime example of how money and success doesn’t bring happiness. You need to be content with who you are and stay true to your values. Be open and try to connect with people. Keep yourself busy with different types of work or activities with different people around you to offer perspectives. These are the things that bring joy. Not saying he didn’t do that, but just speaking in general. Do what you wanna do in life. Don’t fall into a trap of a dreadful routine.
He was my childhood and got me through two many hard times. His content was so unique and hilarious. It makes me so sad to see his channel fizzle out but I hope he’s doing a lot better
One of the GOATS of RUclips. Absolutely respect his decision. Everyone deserves to carve their own path.
He is the only one who can surpass mr beast
Honestly, I have a massive respect for Ryan's decision. Sometimes you need some sort of change or new perspective when you do something for a long time. You may still want to do what you've been doing but that burn out feeling is always lingering. I hope the rhpc team are doing well behind the scenes and wish the best of luck to all of them on their future endeavors.
Im happy ryan got to find something he truly enjoyed doing and got to do normally. Other youtubers who left youtube often dont go out on their own terms but ryan did and he could come back whenever he wants which was the best scenario.
Just saw this video now, not sure how I missed it! Thanks for crediting the idea to me in the description :)
I read that in the description and it made me realize that finding true online creation appreciation for one another's art these days is nearly gone. Kinda like the phrase "Chivalry is not dead" it was great to see some online persona respect still around. ❤
I still remember the day my friend from school introduced me to him. We bonded over his videos. He also may have slightly helped shape my sense of humor. He'll always have my respect.
Man I used to love Nigahiga. It made me sad that he left. I know that he went to his second channel and made more live gaming/podcasts and stuff
@davidlol2080 what the fuck
@IKillAnimalsOnYT I Dont Care About Your Name
@IKillAnimalsOnYT get lost clown
@IKillAnimalsOnYT hm
@IKillAnimalsOnYT serial killer vibes
Though it makes me kinda sad, but I wish him nothing but happiness
He's smart , humble, hilarious and so much more for me he can do whatever he wants if makes him happy
i can totally see why he is gone from the platform, youtube has gone dead since 2016 all the content are just regulating to gain mad views and engagements, drama or politics, there is no uniqueness left nothing creative or exciting to watch, most i watch now are just commentary channels there is literally no good youtuber left on this platform, so i will never forget how Ryan made his videos with pure creativity and passion he really was the legend and always will be.
fr dude . now youtube fueling bullshit repeated crinje content like tik tok just for views and money . missing those og youtube with top g content that made my childhood bro .
Icl tho most super niche/hobby related youtubers still make good content.
It's just that the entertainment sector of yt has fallen to really low standards.
A bit overreactive tho, there's still some good youtubers out there, you just grew up
your life sucks
doesnt mean everyone else’s does too
Stuff like this makes me sad. You take a genuine guy who makes content and you grow up watching someone like this grow and blow up on the internet and we all enjoy it. Then as you get older, they get older and they either thrive or fall. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching Ryan higa when I was a kid and when he stopped uploading a couple years ago, I just wondered where he went or if he’d ever come back. It’s worse when they say they don’t enjoy this life anymore. I just hope whatever he’s doing, he’s doing alright and he’s seeking something better for himself
Ok? He still streams video games if u love him so much keep watching buddy but u don't so why are u sad again?
Man, I remember watching him in the very early days of RUclips before all the drama and greed came into play on the site. He was truly the purest soul and has remained so throughout all the years since. He has never been involved in controversy, never made his channel more than he wanted or could make it to be, and stayed true to his style of content until the end.
Ryan was definitely a significant part of my childhood. To see his flame slowly burn out. It makes me sad, but I’m glad I got to experience his genius.
Ryan was truely a legend, I grew up with amazing content and super clever videos, I still listen to his goofy songs, I'll always respect him for the joy I got growing up with him when he would post back with his original "how to be ninja" and everything since
While Ryan quitting RUclips makes me incredibly sad, I really just wish him the best, whatever that might be. He was my favourite RUclipsr for a long time, I genuinely think he was one of the most hardworking and creative people on this platform.
It's sad to think that the person who was one of the people who made my childhood a happy one felt this way for a long time. To me, Ryan is someone I respect and will always remember, so if he ever does choose to come back to youtube, I'll definitely be there. But I wish him all the best either way.
SunnyV2 risked his entire career by saying “nigahiga”
My childhood hero. Watched him every time he uploaded, I still watch his videos over again today.

Ryan was one of the only people to deliver on his videos, he put so much time and effort into his videos. I don't think many can say that they did.
Social media isn't a job, its a hobby
That's just wrong lmao
@@ANonMoose_ its facts
Ryan content was absolute gold in this field, man. Everything he did, including the films he made and the levels he used, was executed flawlessly. I enjoyed his writing and miss seeing his vids.
I remember How to Be Ninja being the first RUclips video I ever saw. My neighbor showed my sister and I on his phone and we laughed our asses off. Ryan deserves the break. Nobody should be forced to do something forever
Even after years after his leave he is still talked about truly gone but never forgotten
He left perfectly imo, his videos were consistently brilliant, he never "fell off" or "changed up his content" like other youtubers, he just consistently made fantastic videos that are still fantastic to watch today, until finally just quietly leaving. and I don't have an issue with that.
He was such a huge part of my childhood, and I'm grateful that we got to support him and his team for all these years.
A whole legend bro, I shed a tear when he was talking about his mental health and the hidden battles he went through. A RUclips GOAT for sure
It’s great to see him grow. Let’s hope he continues to grow and improve.
i still find it funny how people tried canceling him over the dumbest shit, including his name
He didn't quit RUclips. He simply changed his style and started posting more on his second channel HigaTV where he still posts consistently once/twice a week... Not trying to call you out, just a friendly reminder to do a little more research before posting. It's not exactly a small channel, it has over 4 million subscribers.

Ryan deserves to be happy after making so many people happy through his videos. Hope he has a great future ahead.
It's sad seeing all the "og" youtubers get so burnt out and leaving since guys like Ryan were my childhood - early adult years. It was incredible to see Ryan Higa's videos go from grainy "How to be" videos to the crazy high production of stop motion and "movie trailers" over the years, on top of the more chill behind the scenes and Dare videos over the years. I'm glad he managed to get out on a high note and seems to be content with streaming now. I do hope he makes a come back one day but if he doesn't, I hope he's happy whatever he's doing.
Yeah but he played in Twitch Rivals Rust event and he's still a beast. Legend
He still on the internet?

Just started watching your channel Sunny. I like your reporting format; digestible but enough contents with citable facts (as in information can be easily checked across different sources). Please keep this up.
P.S., Ryan's videos were really good and fun, I've always enjoyed the skits and the collaboration. I don't like RUclipsrs these days or enriched media in general, but I still find myself watching his older contents here and there.

Simple Explanation: He didn't quit RUclips, he had some ideas for nigahiga (i think), he is still active on RUclips, HigaTV is the channel that he's still active, he just wanted to stream of Twitch.
Sunnyv2 is not a villain so stop hating on him he's just righting a documentary and spread awareness 😢❤❤
Part of the reason why some people hate him is that he always makes events feel overly important but he is just reporting (youtube) news and every other news reporter makes things feel overly important

I have ALWAYS wondered about this. He was my VERY FIRST favourite RUclipsr, and the reason I got into watching RUclips in the first place!!
I'm glad I searched your channel for this story!!!
He got a girlfriend got dumped and got depressed and played video games.
6:05 this is the one thing I hate about rich people, to quote Degenrocity “I rather be rich and depressed than be broke and depressed”
Its the same story over and over with so many RUclipsrs:
1) Starts RUclips channel
2) Does silly videos for fun
3) Turns it into a job creating increased workload.
4) Videos are no longer and fun
5) quits or scales back significantly.
the first word in the intro caught me off for a second
ryan casually giving the n word pass to everyone. respect
Quit while you’re ahead 👌🏻
Just like Floyd, it’s better to retire undefeated than to just slowly but surely drag yourself out and soil your legacy
true
After 13 years of entertaining his fans, he 100% deserves to do what ever he wants
he didn’t quit he has a second channel called HigaTV
I hope he’s proud of what he accomplished, he helped paved the way for RUclips and gave inspiration to more creators than he will ever realize. Him and Sean are the original goats of RUclips.
Man, I ain't the only one that said his name in a way 💀💀
Man, I miss NigaHiga
Simple reason. Ryan grew up. He was and IS a great RUclipsr. If he comes back, great! But we still have all his old, great videos there. Whatever he does, I wish him happiness. If being a RUclipsr didn't make him happy, then that's not what I want for him, even if it would make ME happy. Be happy, Ryan! You do you! XOXO
Thank you for covering this topic. I've always loved your videos and I think this must be the most interesting one I'll he watching.
bro thought i wouldnt notice the title💀
Tbh, nigahiga wasn't the same without Sean. The thing I like the most about oldschool nigahiga is that he never asked people to subscribe to him. Good old time.
Ryan going dark felt like losing the last bastion of old RUclips. I respect the heck out of the guy for how long he remained relevant by just making fun content. I also respect the heck out of him by not making a big show of him leaving, he did it on his own terms.
