Ian doesn’t get recognized enough for his work and the reason why smosh is still a thing today. Smosh actually had their most successful year ever post Anthony leaving with Ian being the head
I disagree with him not getting enough recognition lol, people say this EVERYTIME someone praises Anthony, Ian does get a lot of recognition, for 4 years most of the audience has recognized him as the leader of smosh while anthony built his second brand
learning about the duo coming back made me the most happy person in the world. i never hated what ian did for the channel after he left, rather i found it pretty good in my eyes because it was kinda trendy and funny as fuck. but the duo coming back makes everyone on this entire planet more happy.
Fun fact Smosh made it to the top of the list in subscribers 3 different times, being the only channel to do so. Once in 2006, another in 2007, and lastly in 2013 where they were later the first to hit 10 million subscribers!!
At first I didn’t notice it was you at first, Pixels! Nice logo change, and it’s nice to see you shifting the type of content you make. Love this channel!
The thing about Anthony is that he''s one of the best interviewers on the platform, along with Hot Ones' host Sean Evans. The amount of respect and kindness he shows people he interviews is just staggering.
gotta disagree with the RWJ comment. He actually does shorts that gets a lot of views on TikTok and IG. I think it's doing well on FB too but dont quote me on that
I didn't know who this "Anthony Padilla" dude was, before you put the Smosh logo in the intro. Was I technically part of this "1%?" If so, I'm not sleeping anyway, it's still evening at 145720 UTC+07:00 Military Time _(Not Zone)._
I’m happy you didn’t bring down the work that Ian and the rest of the Smosh cast did without Anthony here. So many essays talking about Smosh’s history always talk about that time in a very negative light and as a fan of Smosh post-Anthony that’s really frustrating.
It really hurts to see how your content has changed. From the new pfp to this style of content, it doesn't feel like Pixels After Dark. You were such a laid back youtuber who could bring comedy into the scary parts of video games, but now you just feel like every other hyper edited RUclips Documentary maker. I
Aye dont disrespect Ray William Johnson like that, he is still so relevant in the shorts community and still is doing quite good in the long form video format.
I think the only thing that isn’t right is saying that Anthony is the only one from that era to stay relevant. Ray William Johnson has made a huge comeback in the past year with his shorts and videos getting a ton of views still
Not q correction but a fun fact: completely different country but German Garmendia is from the same era and still doing great, and Zoella is still getting a million views per video despite being culturally irrelevant unlike how she was back then
bro they got played during their entire career and locked themselves in a pit and he got his livelihood robbed from him, that's not intelligence, it's stupidity
And he dug his way out. It is not about failing it. How to deal with it and what you do after. If you only focus on your failures, you never find success
They were like 22 and youtube was unexplored, defy also worked quite well for them and gave them funds for many years despite its flaws, its not necessarily a huge mistake, the only thing is they gave too much creative control to them by becoming employees + sold it for salaries and stock
i like how you did this so the first video is some one who ruin there Carrer and how to not do things and the now you make a video where it tells you how to last long on RUclips and how to do things
I can't believe this quality of a documentary is on youtube for free
not 100% for "free" but yeah..
Bro facts though.
RUclips pays him
and it's underrated. only 6,000 views??
Bro turn in to sunnyV2 💀💀💀

this guy needs more, his content keeps getting better and better
Bro you deserve so much more recognition the quality of your videos is so good
Also worth to mention, James Rolfe (Cinemasscre) still active on the RUclips since almost the very beginning.
Fun fact Smosh made it to the top of the list in subscribers 3 different times, being the only channel to do so. Once in 2006, another in 2007, and lastly in 2013 where they were later the first to hit 10 million subscribers!!
8:09 ray william johnson is actually doing fine as of now, he's mostly doing shorts now but he also brought back his music recently
I was searching for this comment 🪑
Dude, this is an insane video. Major props.
sup
Great Video man!! Mr Padilla is a true GOAT in the youtube world. loving the new stylized profile picture too!
I love your content man, continue being soooooo good!
true
8:12 Note that Ray William Johnson is still popular out here roasting people.
At first I didn’t notice it was you at first, Pixels! Nice logo change, and it’s nice to see you shifting the type of content you make. Love this channel!
I almost didnt recognize the channel. love the new pfp tho.
8:17 raywilliamjohnson TikTok/RUclips shorts are really big but I get the point
That "Pewdiepie stay out of this one" felt personal
this is the video I've been waiting for!
The thing about Anthony is that he''s one of the best interviewers on the platform, along with Hot Ones' host Sean Evans. The amount of respect and kindness he shows people he interviews is just staggering.
Yuppp
pixel before light
im surprised this video only has 55k views
this documentation was excellently made
underrated video asf
props to u bro this was a banger
The new Pfp kind of looks the the adult swim logo
gotta disagree with the RWJ comment. He actually does shorts that gets a lot of views on TikTok and IG. I think it's doing well on FB too but dont quote me on that
Nice they coop again. Very rare to see.
This is nice. Its refreshing to see someones two cents on the current smosh stuff without it being negative
I didn't know who this "Anthony Padilla" dude was, before you put the Smosh logo in the intro.
Was I technically part of this "1%?" If so, I'm not sleeping anyway, it's still evening at 145720 UTC+07:00 Military Time _(Not Zone)._
wow... i never knew about smosh, but that backstory is *INSANE*
Love the new channel aesthetic by the way
I’m happy you didn’t bring down the work that Ian and the rest of the Smosh cast did without Anthony here. So many essays talking about Smosh’s history always talk about that time in a very negative light and as a fan of Smosh post-Anthony that’s really frustrating.
Which ones? Besides edgy manchildren on instagram calling them "woke" this is rarely the case
I love this new design for your channel! Really gives off a vibe. Nice editing, too! (also ig im first /j)
Love your stuff dude
"go to bed, it's past you're bedtime..." Sir, I am 38 years old, and it's 2pm....you're most likely right😔
So is no one gon talk about the fact he just roasted Ray William Johnson or?
Yea
he didnt roast him

ray wiliam johnson is still pretty popular
At first I didn't know the guy you were talking about until you said Smosh
I think the only thing that isn’t right is saying that Anthony is the only one from that era to stay relevant. Ray William Johnson has made a huge comeback in the past year with his shorts and videos getting a ton of views still
Ray William Is still getting a lot of views
Ray william Johnson is still very popular with 8 million more subscribers than the Anthony Padilla channel

Wow
8:18 ray william johnson is still really relevant, hes videos regularly get hundreds of thousands to millions of views
Whyvyou channel logo change
Ray William johnson is still relevant tho
bro they got played during their entire career and locked themselves in a pit and he got his livelihood robbed from him, that's not intelligence, it's stupidity
And he dug his way out. It is not about failing it. How to deal with it and what you do after. If you only focus on your failures, you never find success
They were like 22 and youtube was unexplored, defy also worked quite well for them and gave them funds for many years despite its flaws, its not necessarily a huge mistake, the only thing is they gave too much creative control to them by becoming employees + sold it for salaries and stock
W video
Ray william johnson:

Wait Anthony was part of something else?
5:04 🤨💀💀
You too get a nice way to make your channel with video that do history of other thing in a documentary go for it🎉
i like how you did this so the first video is some one who ruin there Carrer and how to not do things and the now you make a video where it tells you how to last long on RUclips and how to do things
id love to see a video on you taking speech impediment classes

U forgot ray William johnson

I’ve never watched him or cared for him
STOP PIXELS AFTER DARK, This isn't PewDiePies tuber simulator you can't have constant videos 😔
Of course he existed before RUclips. People don’t be born at a age that’s not 0
He was so so good an then after smosh was garbage just talking to RUclipsrs
