For some reason Asmon is a bizarre exception? Opinions and feelings I'm like "yeah right on" lmao I guess I like what he has to say, simple as that.
When I had to create this RUclips account a few years ago kwebblekops GTAV videos where actually the first recommended. Only way I have any clue who he is.
I watched one of his videos at some point in the past and it was so littered with advertisements it was absolutely unwatchable because of it. Nothing says I don't care about the money like an ad ever 2 minutes on a 30 minute video.
I used to watch him then stopped but was still following him on Twitter and I remember all of a sudden he just became this weird NFT shill. Every other time talking about fucking cryptos and NFTs and I'm like what happened to this guy
From this video i get the inpression that when his girlfriend broke up he just went down the rabbit hole on a selfdestructive rampage pulling in other ppl as well, its always a shame to see that happen to people. Him bragging over his expensive stuff is just the final nail in his coffin.

Man, Asmongolds comment on creativity, and changing one’s content because you don’t enjoy what you’re doing sometimes, is so spot on. The example of the mount offs and how he may be tired of them, but continues to do them because he’s “selling a product” and the purchasers enjoy that product so he gives them what they want….that’s such a mature, adult way of looking at things. I agree whole heartedly. Of course, chase your dreams and don’t live a life where you don’t enjoy what you do, but sometimes (in the real world) you may not fully enjoy a task at work, or your boss might piss u off, but you buckle up and get the fucking job done because it’s gotta be done. Love your take on this bro, couldn’t agree more and I hope people grow up and realize that sometimes you just gotta do what u gotta do. That’s the real world

What's good about them is they don't build their brand on being a group and always playing together. They're four separate youtubers who are friends and occasionally collab

True. I have never played WoW before. I only played Warcraft in the past and then went to dota but I have to say, the transmog competition is one of the best Asmon content.
The reason I like watching asmon besides the fact that I find him hilarious is that he's 100% what I aspire to be in life, not a rich degenerate neet that lives in his moms house, but a person that has become so successful in life that he is simply able to comfortably live life how he chooses while still being humble enough to were your not ignorant of the lives of the average man. If I was as rich as asmon I wouldent spend it on fancy cars I would simply buy a nice small house near the ocean so that I could go outside everyday and paint on the beach and order uber eats and not have to even think about money I would do that for the rest of my life if I could. Being broke as fuck all I can think about is money because if I don't I can't eat or survive, that shit is stressful as fuck.

45:14 Gronkh became one of the most well known German youtubers playing Minecraft since 2010 and kids were still watching him play that when he hit 40.
couch psychology: he saw that collabs were his peak and so is hooked on the idea that collabs are what made him, so he collabs with tiger, shit goes wrong and his prevailing view of having to collab to maintain relevance made his tiny think that collabing with a fake ai is the same thing as collabing with a person parasocial thoughts over.
Every time asmon talks about content creation it’s like he it’s like he is telling himself everything he need to know or has learned to solidify in his brain to make his shit better and I love the content that comes out because of it
"Give the ppl what they want" is probably the best advice you could give any content creator. Yeah, it's a process to find out what you can give the ppl that they like but once you do why would you throw all of it away by doing a full 180?
I've got so much respect for the way you word things. Not generally a fan of what you play, but I like your honest point of view. I might disagree with what you say sometimes, but you always speak your mind with reasoning and conviction. Thanks for the vids @Asmongold
Haven't played a video game for twenty years but was recommended Asmongold during the Turd Vs Depp trial and for some reason kept checking his reaction videos
i love your selfdescription also that you stand for what you say and do and that you admit to it without being ashamed! you are a legend and probably one of very few straight forward entertainers i know. The mighty jingles is the other one who just does not give a damn.
SypherPK used to be a Elder Scrolls Online PvP streamer/build maker though. He already had a sizeable following long before he moved onto Fortnite. He didn't pop off because he was lucky, he popped off because he had a massive head start and his community supported the change of content. Fortnite didn't kickstart his success, it only bolstered it. He was fairly successful long before that.
I don't watch Asmon as much as I use to. Life and shit, growing up, I don't genuinely follow ANY streamers being the boomer that I am but Asmon was one of the few that I watched back in his wow days when he was genuinely just another one of us lol. Even nowadays I don't always agree with what he says but you need to hand it to him that he knows how to provide entertainment. To think a humble wow streamer can become someone who almost EVERYONE would chime in to watch JUST for him it incredible. So props to you my man. Even if you were to brag about your wealth I'd just be here saying POGGERS. You deserve it.
I would love to see Asmon do a poll on YT to count men, women & diverse viewers :D I don't think that there are so few women watching him, being one myself I do enjoy his insights a lot !
Im too old for twitch (not my era), but i watch here and there hes videos. This is one of the best videos up there, hes honest af. Like the approach to things he does, more like businnes men, then like an 'artist'
I used to watch the trio with Jelly and Slogoman. To be honest i always found Kbebbelkop a bit... forced / cringe. i could not stand his overeactions. He was always over dramatic over every single stuff. Maybe this attitude is what ended up damaging all his relationships, and the one with himself as well. Edit: Seeing how he acts in videos nowadays, he extremely tryhards, feels out of character and you can see he is not enjoying making his videos.
Yea I always found something off about jordi watching the guys seeing them genuinely having fun and jordi overreacting for reason I found it always strange
for the most part, i dont really watch u that much asmondgold since im from the same eras of gaming with blizzard and at first i didnt get impression of u way back in the day BUT ur content now is quite creative and when u have the stance and opinion on the things u do now, i find it interesting because u challenge actual real societal issues within and outside gaming as well. to be honest i respect ur grind and i can see uve really come a long way as a content creator. which is why u have my sub, my attention and my time. ur awesome man! keep up the great content!
Zach, I’m in the same situation. I have no teeth, haven’t eaten solid foods since October, 2015, and my wife and I are looking into getting me dental implants, *IF* a financial solution comes through for us. Love your channel, you have a better grasp of the way things are at your age, whatever that is, than I do at mine, (62)…. Keep the Faith, Brother.
Creativity is remembering what you saw and forgetting where you had seen it. Best quote from my design lecturers, still remember it after 20 yrs. Point being nothing is original and everything is inspired, using others ideas to improve your own is just smart so long as you're not infringing on their work.
very true also looking at ideas that existed but weren't possible at the time like 3d printers and quadcopters two ideas that are actually quite old but weren't able to be prolific at the time due to the price of electronics
35:42 Don't know if you watch LEMMINO videos but his uploads in like 5 months or more and has so many views because of the quality of his contents. 😊 Edit: 35:51 just saw a LEMMINO comment 😄
Lol I was just thinking about all the old youtubers I used to watch who said they would do youtube forever, and cut to now with their dead RUclips Channels
Honestly youre not lucky Asmon, youre an incredibly unique streamer and just a very intelligent and relatable person who expresses their thoughts in a way that is easy to understand. Literally everyone in the world has something they can draw parallels with while watching you. Thats why youll always be the GOAT!!
He is but it’s luck as well. There are hundreds of thousands of channels on RUclips that are just as special that will never be found because they don’t get lucky with RUclips’s algorithm.
guys who break up with their girl get a rise in viewer ship huh, that reminded me of popular mmo's, that man kept up a happy face, but honestly he sounded dead inside after jen left, an now he makes odd videos with jen again, but its awkward because they are not dating, i think he made a video with her boyfriend and that was even weirder.
he never stops to entertain me fun part was about the ''i gonna steal ideas and use it as if they my own we all stand on giants shoulders;' totally loved it kekw
Asmon is literally the only streamer or content creator that I actually believe is not into RUclips solely for the money. He's the only one. Ever. On the planet.
He’s in it for the money bro… lol Not that there’s anything wrong with that; people need to stop associating money=bad. The difference is that Kwebble kid was keeping up a facade and people didn’t like the real him.
@@cmoney163 yeah i agree. a more accurate thing to say would be "He doesn't compromise his integrity or manipulate his viewership for money." He doesn't believe baseless rumors, or fall into nasty behavior for clout.
Quitting games at random, although it may not be the best and most conventional way to keep a consistent viewership, is a sure fire way to cultivate an audience that is watching YOU and not the game. If you’re just playing what’s hot, you will essentially become the games you are playing. I’m a very recent viewer of this channel, but I’m here for the creator not the choice of content.
People aren’t dumb they know when someone is not being authentic all the best RUclipsrs show you their real personality and it resonates doesn’t matter if you live with your mum or have a mansion it’s your content that counts most of the ppl I watch sit in a room with a microphone and a camera the real work happen long before the video with sourcing information and editing your video and you probably have to employ someone to help if you want to produce quality content regularly
On the topic of why a lot of people like you (what I believe) is that your personality and mentality online is at a very specific combination of being morally just, unbiased but absolutely and most importantly it’s coupled with your ability to humble yourself in a relatable way. I think those are qualities of good leadership so you have people willing to listen to what you have to say.
To get 1 thing straight talking about the neon board with the school, job etc on it. Working 5 days a week for a 1-2 days off, which is technically 1 day since u gotta do shit you didn't get to do during the week, ist a way to live your life. Even In ancient days people had more time off because the church understood that people needed time off. So we are moving backwards there.. Mentally it's not good for most people. Some people might be able to handle it but most will get so burned out. People work because of money, but close to nobody would work if money was out of the picture. Thus life is never about work, never will be. It's just an inconvenient obstacle most cannot avoid.
8:14 This made me so sad because I remember watching Ssundee and Crainer do stuff together all the time a while back. SkyFactory, CrazyCraft, the Lucky Block series, their original Pixelmon series with CaptainSparklez, Golden Cobblestone, and so on. They just... stopped. It was so sad to me because I really enjoyed watching their videos. Ssundee went and became an Among Us mod guy. That's all his videos are now. Crainer does more vlogging and stuff for even younger audiences now, so he's no fun either. :(
Thanks for the videos. I never watched you much before last month but Holy moly just a genuinely chill and mostly fair opinion I tend to agree with or at least understand
Your content is just being you and i love you for it. Though starting your stream from a helicopter, landing it in your mums garden to go into the attic to stream would be amazing. You don't need to do it, but its now what i imagine.
Today, I learned an insane jester was once the Emperor of Rome. No wonder he was trying to get the Night Mother's attention! (Actually, Asmon is not wrong. The closest Roman emperor to Cicero would most likely have been Nero or Caligula.)
I get the sort of vibe from this guy that hes the type that probably wouldnt give a dollar to anybody out there. Or even like a piece of food or something lol.
Asmon!! I love your content and your insight. Thank you for creating awesome moments and experiences. Your videos have sparked interesting conversations within myself as well as with other people. With that being said, please bring back DnD! I know I’m not the only one waiting for season 2!
I like you as a person Asmongold. I don’t watch videos of Asmon because of the game he’s playing or the activity he’s watching I watch Asmon because he always talkes sense never biased and always fair and that why I will always watch Asmon whatever he plays/watches
I never watched your other channel I found this more down to life and I learn about other things and other RUclips people who I've liked and watch like darksouls I didn't know about catalyst and watched you talk about his ds speedrun and then I watched his channel for ds1 content and still comeback to listen To you. I like this channel for your honesty I would say or maybe it's you just saying what your feeling in moment
When I first started watching this dude he did. GTA v videos and I freaking love them. I watched them all the time and then I stopped watching him and didn't realize he went on all these different games and then all this happened. What a mind blow.
One of the best content creators I have seen so far. I would love to see him getting married, having kids, playing Riot's MMO with his kids in the next decade.
Hm, asmo's advice to treat work as work off-camera and hobby on-camera might be applicable in mine too. I'm a teacher and when I'm not facing students or peers I think of how these shits benefits me but when I'm in class/ prepping works/ socializing with other lecturers I'm doin what I like, I like talking about theories and write about things I'm curious about and to some degree I like making sure things entrusted to me are sufficiently tidy. Yeah, I think that's a good way to manage stress/worries. Thanks asmo!
Regarding the Among Us meta, that probably explains why Kaif and his group the Salt Raiders did not benefit from the amogus boost despite having gone ham on the game half a year before Sodapoppin is that they stayed within the group and didn’t branch out much, barring a few guests and two 5up appearances
Ansmon, I don't speak for everyone. I personally don't care what you play man. You are just always entertaining l, regardless of the game or if your just talking. You have a gamers insight and it's always an enjoyable conversation with you and the audience.
32:45 Cicero wasn't an emperor. He was a senator and, as far as I remember, of the republican Rome. The 'literal emperor' Asmon is talking about must be Marcus Aurelius, who left a significant philosophical legacy (for example, the 'Meditations'). P.S. I don't know to which of those two the quotation belongs.
I am so incredibly jealous of Asmon being able to have dental work done without going bankrupt. Not being confident in your smile and not being able to eat what you like is so embarrassing and disheartening.

Interesting video. I remember finding that Kwebbelkop guy's channel at some point and skimmed through a handful of videos, and while none of them were bragging about money in particular - that I can recall - I do remember getting a strong feeling of just "something's off about him". I guess that was it and I'm just happy I haven't wasted more of my time to "see" what it was about at the time.
Yooo!! I remember seeing this doofus lmao I remember my young nephew was watching him on the living room TV, and I was kinda watching from the back as I was doing whatever I was doing. The entire time of me watching, I was like “wtf is this guy” LOL I told him to never watch him ever again, and he gladly listened. Probably made him turn out a lot better over the years 😂
When I first started watching Asmon he was just starting to get a following and someone asked him "how much do you make?". Amson said something like "I go to the store and I swipe for some soda and it works and that makes me happy". Respect.
Lucky bitch only have to swipe one time
He still makes more than anyone doing actually physical work in a normal functioning society.

For someone living such a simple life, asmongold has super unique and insightful commentary. Really it's the only reason I watch his vids.
Same here dude
The reason I like watching asmon besides the fact that I find him hilarious is that he's 100% what I aspire to be in life, not a rich degenerate neet that lives in his moms house, but a person that has become so successful in life that he is simply able to comfortably live life how he chooses while still being humble enough to were your not ignorant of the lives of the average man. If I was as rich as asmon I wouldent spend it on fancy cars I would simply buy a nice small house near the ocean so that I could go outside everyday and paint on the beach and order uber eats and not have to even think about money I would do that for the rest of my life if I could.
Being broke as fuck all I can think about is money because if I don't I can't eat or survive, that shit is stressful as fuck.
He is extremely intelligent, and it shows in every video.
Iam sorry for u
@@NEO_MusicProductionshe is the most open minded person i have ever heard and i love that and i learned in college that being open minded about everything is everything
That’s so true, only kids would watch someone bragging about money
Unless it is a investment channel
sadly not true, most elections are determined by who brags about how much money they have too, that was literally 99% of trumps first campaign
Tell that to anyone who has listened to main stream rap in the last 30 years
@@roadwarrior528 Those ppl can vote. 😬 so 🤷♂️
@@rq7035 i love how people blame rap for rapping about money which is true but what real rap fans like is their songs about being down and wanting to change your life, no other genre does that better than rap.
I'm here for the authenticity. I play WoW, but I watch all of your videos because of your genuine character. It's hard to find that on RUclips nowadays. 👍
Depression can really wreck you. I feel for him.
45:14 Gronkh became one of the most well known German youtubers playing Minecraft since 2010 and kids were still watching him play that when he hit 40.
23:30 is some immense wisdom for anyone wanting to get into content creation. I am extremely grateful for hearing that Asmon.
couch psychology:
he saw that collabs were his peak and so is hooked on the idea that collabs are what made him, so he collabs with tiger, shit goes wrong and his prevailing view of having to collab to maintain relevance made his tiny think that collabing with a fake ai is the same thing as collabing with a person
parasocial thoughts over.
Every time asmon talks about content creation it’s like he it’s like he is telling himself everything he need to know or has learned to solidify in his brain to make his shit better and I love the content that comes out because of it
"Give the ppl what they want" is probably the best advice you could give any content creator. Yeah, it's a process to find out what you can give the ppl that they like but once you do why would you throw all of it away by doing a full 180?
I've got so much respect for the way you word things. Not generally a fan of what you play, but I like your honest point of view. I might disagree with what you say sometimes, but you always speak your mind with reasoning and conviction. Thanks for the vids @Asmongold
The way you explain things is amazing. Wish I could be as articulate as you
Haven't played a video game for twenty years but was recommended Asmongold during the Turd Vs Depp trial and for some reason kept checking his reaction videos
Everytime I see someone refer to a 100k+ sub channel as a "small creator", I die inside a little. 🤣
i love your selfdescription also that you stand for what you say and do and that you admit to it without being ashamed!
you are a legend and probably one of very few straight forward entertainers i know.
The mighty jingles is the other one who just does not give a damn.
SypherPK used to be a Elder Scrolls Online PvP streamer/build maker though. He already had a sizeable following long before he moved onto Fortnite. He didn't pop off because he was lucky, he popped off because he had a massive head start and his community supported the change of content.
Fortnite didn't kickstart his success, it only bolstered it. He was fairly successful long before that.
this is why asmon is the best react channel
50 min reaction for a 15 min video
not just sitting in the corner going uh huh
I don't watch Asmon as much as I use to. Life and shit, growing up, I don't genuinely follow ANY streamers being the boomer that I am but Asmon was one of the few that I watched back in his wow days when he was genuinely just another one of us lol. Even nowadays I don't always agree with what he says but you need to hand it to him that he knows how to provide entertainment. To think a humble wow streamer can become someone who almost EVERYONE would chime in to watch JUST for him it incredible.
So props to you my man. Even if you were to brag about your wealth I'd just be here saying POGGERS. You deserve it.
I would love to see Asmon do a poll on YT to count men, women & diverse viewers :D I don't think that there are so few women watching him, being one myself I do enjoy his insights a lot !
i think you'd be surprised
Im too old for twitch (not my era), but i watch here and there hes videos. This is one of the best videos up there, hes honest af. Like the approach to things he does, more like businnes men, then like an 'artist'
I used to watch the trio with Jelly and Slogoman. To be honest i always found Kbebbelkop a bit... forced / cringe. i could not stand his overeactions. He was always over dramatic over every single stuff. Maybe this attitude is what ended up damaging all his relationships, and the one with himself as well.
Edit: Seeing how he acts in videos nowadays, he extremely tryhards, feels out of character and you can see he is not enjoying making his videos.
Yea I always found something off about jordi watching the guys seeing them genuinely having fun and jordi overreacting for reason I found it always strange
for the most part, i dont really watch u that much asmondgold since im from the same eras of gaming with blizzard and at first i didnt get impression of u way back in the day BUT ur content now is quite creative and when u have the stance and opinion on the things u do now, i find it interesting because u challenge actual real societal issues within and outside gaming as well. to be honest i respect ur grind and i can see uve really come a long way as a content creator. which is why u have my sub, my attention and my time. ur awesome man! keep up the great content!
We never have to worry about this with Asmon. This man stays humble.
32:23 That actually resembles the back of Franklin's house you buy at Vinewood hills in GTA 5
When you have a girlfriend you can’t bring random girls on your stream? Someone needs too tell Mizkif
22:17 lol this hits hard lol.. I'm basically camping the zone for that unicorn head as I'm watching this video lol...
Zach, I’m in the same situation. I have no teeth, haven’t eaten solid foods since October, 2015, and my wife and I are looking into getting me dental implants, *IF* a financial solution comes through for us. Love your channel, you have a better grasp of the way things are at your age, whatever that is, than I do at mine, (62)…. Keep the Faith, Brother.
@@ssjwes wait , how did this happen to you? Why are you going to lose all your teeth? Asking so this doesn’t happen to me 😭
Creativity is remembering what you saw and forgetting where you had seen it. Best quote from my design lecturers, still remember it after 20 yrs. Point being nothing is original and everything is inspired, using others ideas to improve your own is just smart so long as you're not infringing on their work.
very true also looking at ideas that existed but weren't possible at the time like 3d printers and quadcopters two ideas that are actually quite old but weren't able to be prolific at the time due to the price of electronics
35:42 Don't know if you watch LEMMINO videos but his uploads in like 5 months or more and has so many views because of the quality of his contents. 😊
Edit: 35:51 just saw a LEMMINO comment 😄
Lol I was just thinking about all the old youtubers I used to watch who said they would do youtube forever, and cut to now with their dead RUclips Channels
sypher pk was always deserving of a large following. i started to watch him b4 he popped off, in for honor he was a monster!
“I ended up getting into depression.” With a big old grin on his face.
Honestly youre not lucky Asmon, youre an incredibly unique streamer and just a very intelligent and relatable person who expresses their thoughts in a way that is easy to understand.
Literally everyone in the world has something they can draw parallels with while watching you.
Thats why youll always be the GOAT!!
He is but it’s luck as well. There are hundreds of thousands of channels on RUclips that are just as special that will never be found because they don’t get lucky with RUclips’s algorithm.
guys who break up with their girl get a rise in viewer ship huh, that reminded me of popular mmo's, that man kept up a happy face, but honestly he sounded dead inside after jen left, an now he makes odd videos with jen again, but its awkward because they are not dating, i think he made a video with her boyfriend and that was even weirder.
So basically he got tired of keeping up his facade, and people didn’t like the real him.
he never stops to entertain me fun part was about the ''i gonna steal ideas and use it as if they my own we all stand on giants shoulders;' totally loved it kekw
Asmon is literally the only streamer or content creator that I actually believe is not into RUclips solely for the money. He's the only one. Ever. On the planet.
one true king
Agreed except I'd say, the only creator who if he was like "yeah of course this is for the money" I'd be like "welp, you earned it man" hahaha.
Idk if he is or not but the amount of basedness is just overwhelming
He’s in it for the money bro… lol Not that there’s anything wrong with that; people need to stop associating money=bad. The difference is that Kwebble kid was keeping up a facade and people didn’t like the real him.
@@cmoney163 yeah i agree. a more accurate thing to say would be "He doesn't compromise his integrity or manipulate his viewership for money."
He doesn't believe baseless rumors, or fall into nasty behavior for clout.
12:20
The prime example for asmons point isn't really the amongus meta but VanossGaming
that channel wouldn't exist without his massive friendgroup
speaking of... He's still making content. While the numbers aren't anywhere NEAR what they used to be, they're still respectable numbers.
I respect asmon for being truthful so inspiring not gonna lie
Quitting games at random, although it may not be the best and most conventional way to keep a consistent viewership, is a sure fire way to cultivate an audience that is watching YOU and not the game.
If you’re just playing what’s hot, you will essentially become the games you are playing.
I’m a very recent viewer of this channel, but I’m here for the creator not the choice of content.
Asmon says “NWA”
Random ass viewer: “say it”. 💀🤣
37:36 Boy swingin SHMEAT
People aren’t dumb they know when someone is not being authentic all the best RUclipsrs show you their real personality and it resonates doesn’t matter if you live with your mum or have a mansion it’s your content that counts most of the ppl I watch sit in a room with a microphone and a camera the real work happen long before the video with sourcing information and editing your video and you probably have to employ someone to help if you want to produce quality content regularly
On the topic of why a lot of people like you (what I believe) is that your personality and mentality online is at a very specific combination of being morally just, unbiased but absolutely and most importantly it’s coupled with your ability to humble yourself in a relatable way. I think those are qualities of good leadership so you have people willing to listen to what you have to say.
Ayo i remember kwebelkop and the guy with green avatar back in the day.. i wonder what happen to them
To get 1 thing straight talking about the neon board with the school, job etc on it.
Working 5 days a week for a 1-2 days off, which is technically 1 day since u gotta do shit you didn't get to do during the week, ist a way to live your life. Even In ancient days people had more time off because the church understood that people needed time off. So we are moving backwards there..
Mentally it's not good for most people. Some people might be able to handle it but most will get so burned out.
People work because of money, but close to nobody would work if money was out of the picture. Thus life is never about work, never will be. It's just an inconvenient obstacle most cannot avoid.
i wouldn't mind the fraction of those viewers honestly.. just keep grinding
I watched a few videos of Kwebbelkop, Jelly and Slogo playing GTA V a couple of years ago. Never knew there was so much drama behind this guy…
Asmon is never dishonest
8:14 This made me so sad because I remember watching Ssundee and Crainer do stuff together all the time a while back. SkyFactory, CrazyCraft, the Lucky Block series, their original Pixelmon series with CaptainSparklez, Golden Cobblestone, and so on. They just... stopped. It was so sad to me because I really enjoyed watching their videos. Ssundee went and became an Among Us mod guy. That's all his videos are now. Crainer does more vlogging and stuff for even younger audiences now, so he's no fun either.
:(
Asmon you literally are my favorite youtuber keep the videos coming!!!!
Thanks for the videos. I never watched you much before last month but Holy moly just a genuinely chill and mostly fair opinion I tend to agree with or at least understand
Your content is just being you and i love you for it.
Though starting your stream from a helicopter, landing it in your mums garden to go into the attic to stream would be amazing. You don't need to do it, but its now what i imagine.
41:06 The way that guy is looking at the back Kwebbekop's back, looks like he's dreading the moment the camera turns off and KW turns into a tyrant.
Kwebbelkop's last major twitter thread...was pushing an NFT
Today, I learned an insane jester was once the Emperor of Rome. No wonder he was trying to get the Night Mother's attention! (Actually, Asmon is not wrong. The closest Roman emperor to Cicero would most likely have been Nero or Caligula.)
I get the sort of vibe from this guy that hes the type that probably wouldnt give a dollar to anybody out there. Or even like a piece of food or something lol.
Is it because of that piece of shit haircut?
Lmaoooo
@@Vihara2 👃 ✡️
I wouldn't either, my money is my money, unless your talking like spending money with friends
I watched asmond from like 2014, he didn’t changed abit (except malding). And I love it.
“We all stand on the shoulders of giants”
No truer statement has ever been said
Pride cometh before the fall is another way to phrase that quote.
"Boasting speech is a mark of weakness. Those who do great things are usually silent."
The smallest dogs bark the most.
asmon could go into a luxury store and buy everything in there but they will kick him out for looking homeless, thats the millionair i like lol
They'd see his plain white t-shirt and assume hes wearing an original Kanye.
"No-one can spell his name... I'm looking at it on the screen and I cant spell it" lmaoooo 0:40
Asmon!! I love your content and your insight. Thank you for creating awesome moments and experiences. Your videos have sparked interesting conversations within myself as well as with other people.
With that being said, please bring back DnD! I know I’m not the only one waiting for season 2!
I like you as a person Asmongold. I don’t watch videos of Asmon because of the game he’s playing or the activity he’s watching I watch Asmon because he always talkes sense never biased and always fair and that why I will always watch Asmon whatever he plays/watches
Asmondgold is by far the very best streamer on the internet.
I never watched your other channel I found this more down to life and I learn about other things and other RUclips people who I've liked and watch like darksouls I didn't know about catalyst and watched you talk about his ds speedrun and then I watched his channel for ds1 content and still comeback to listen To you. I like this channel for your honesty I would say or maybe it's you just saying what your feeling in moment
I love how down to earth Asmon is
When I first started watching this dude he did. GTA v videos and I freaking love them. I watched them all the time and then I stopped watching him and didn't realize he went on all these different games and then all this happened. What a mind blow.
"doing youtube is hard and i don't enjoy it like i used to before".... Well welcome to the real world
I almost watched this myself yesterday, but I decided to wait until Asmon reacted to it. Didn't have to wait long!
Kwebelkop coached mr beast right? So he's pretty good i guess
SypherPK deserves it, guy is great and grinded hard for a long time. Excelled in every game I can remember him playing, all the way back to ESO
One of the best content creators I have seen so far. I would love to see him getting married, having kids, playing Riot's MMO with his kids in the next decade.
Hm, asmo's advice to treat work as work off-camera and hobby on-camera might be applicable in mine too. I'm a teacher and when I'm not facing students or peers I think of how these shits benefits me but when I'm in class/ prepping works/ socializing with other lecturers I'm doin what I like, I like talking about theories and write about things I'm curious about and to some degree I like making sure things entrusted to me are sufficiently tidy. Yeah, I think that's a good way to manage stress/worries. Thanks asmo!
didnt even know who this youtuber was lol
Regarding the Among Us meta, that probably explains why Kaif and his group the Salt Raiders did not benefit from the amogus boost despite having gone ham on the game half a year before Sodapoppin is that they stayed within the group and didn’t branch out much, barring a few guests and two 5up appearances
Ansmon, I don't speak for everyone. I personally don't care what you play man. You are just always entertaining l, regardless of the game or if your just talking. You have a gamers insight and it's always an enjoyable conversation with you and the audience.
32:45 Cicero wasn't an emperor. He was a senator and, as far as I remember, of the republican Rome.
The 'literal emperor' Asmon is talking about must be Marcus Aurelius, who left a significant philosophical legacy (for example, the 'Meditations').
P.S. I don't know to which of those two the quotation belongs.
Simply he broke up with azzyland and lost all his audience
"im looking at it on the screen and still cant spell it" hahaha so fucking funny
I am so incredibly jealous of Asmon being able to have dental work done without going bankrupt. Not being confident in your smile and not being able to eat what you like is so embarrassing and disheartening.
Bro I need jaw surgery to fix an underbite and I can afford it, but I’m too scared to get the procedure :(
@@ericleavitt9281 I know that fear dud but tray to over come that fear and get that surgery done u will thank your self when u do I know it's had but do it bro I'm pulling for ya!!
Interesting video. I remember finding that Kwebbelkop guy's channel at some point and skimmed through a handful of videos, and while none of them were bragging about money in particular - that I can recall - I do remember getting a strong feeling of just "something's off about him". I guess that was it and I'm just happy I haven't wasted more of my time to "see" what it was about at the time.
Yooo!! I remember seeing this doofus lmao
I remember my young nephew was watching him on the living room TV, and I was kinda watching from the back as I was doing whatever I was doing. The entire time of me watching, I was like “wtf is this guy” LOL
I told him to never watch him ever again, and he gladly listened. Probably made him turn out a lot better over the years 😂
Lol I always thought he was annoying asf yo. I learned him from my brother who use to watch him years ago. Same as his 2 old friends.
I went on his vchat channel, nothing but 5-14 year olds, 1 comment even tells his age as 8...Kids youtube is crazy.
The brutal honesty from this guy lol
I fucking love it!
That’s an hour long video just to say his content changed for the worse.
