What I appreciate about him is that despite his difficulties, he never wanted to make fake prank videos like a lot “pranksters” out there. He was always underrated, because many of his ideas were used by other youtubers and even twisted into this madness of fake pranks. Wish he can get through this tough period in his life.

He's not one of the first people to go around and interview people on the streets. That has been done for millennia, like the previous commenter said here (Socrates), but even if you're talking about being done in video or film, there's a French movie from 1961 called Chronicle of a Summer where the filmmakers do just that - they go out in public and ask random questions to people on the streets about life and society.

I think a lot of people might feel the same. Maybe someone should consider setting up a gofundme to get him out of his troubles. I feel like he deserves that.

    Since I didn't know him, I though that he was one of those pranksters who goes too far and got what he deserve. Glad to know that I was wrong, he's a nice guy and I feel bad for what happened to him :(

      He was one of the only pranksters I watched back in the day because he was one of the only ones who NEVER faked videos (except for poking fun at those fake pranksters but those were clearly parody skits) and he never went too far either, he was always pretty lighthearted in his videos. He was also a huge inspiration for me because I also have depression and social anxiety. Seeing him going out there and interacting awkwardly with the public even though he had social anxiety himself was like watching someone doing some type of self-therapy, you know? He was clearly anxious but he would do it anyway, that was inspirational. Also, his videos were just genuinely funny and some of them were more like social experiments than pranks - you would see how people would react when someone broke social rules or etiquette rules. I also liked his "Chatting with" interview series, that was a great format, just talking with unique individuals. I haven't watched his channel since the start of the pandemic though and now I know why, but Andrew is such a genuine guy, I really hope for the best for him.

    Been exactly where this dude is, making a ton of money at a relatively young age for a creative endeavor. Thought the money would never end. Spent recklessly, have a ton of money to friends, and had a stupidly high rent. I had saved nothing, and when the money was gone, so we’re the friends and spouse that helped me spend it, and it was just me charging to credit cards until I couldn’t anymore. I was a former millionaire apply to work at grocery stores in my mid twenties. Ultimately he just has to stay motivated to keep doing what he’s good at and he’ll get back. Maybe not to where he was, but back to a level of success that will keep him content. Mental health treatment helps a lot, too. Everything is infinitely harder when you have untreated depression.
