when he was goaded into taking a bad stance in a political discussion (politics being something he was NEVER known for).



he's a grown man who asked for a debate and revealed on his own accord that he's afraid of immigrants entering the gene pool. nobody "goaded" him into anything

Fuck off. He's a minor league internet celebrity that has given me and my GF dozens of hours of enjoyment and laughter. There's nothing cringey about us hoping we can meet him in person randomly some day, when we live nearby where he lives. Most people feel stuff like that about celebrities they like.

The YouTube bubble will burst soon.

Already is for most. Merch, Patreon, deals, etc. are how most make any money from it. The estimates on that site are extremely misleading. You can see the huge variance because they don't have much actual info to go off of.

If you meet Jontron, tell him Wolf is not a clone of Fox.

This topic turned into a cringefest real quick.

Nothing is stopping him from making videos, and in all likelihood he'd still get about as many views still. He just isn't. That's his choice, ya know?


Dude's probably depressed, or at least got very shaken after that incident. He was well known for making videos where he tears apart bad movies/games. Then the majority of the online community around him (including Playtonic games) turned on him when he was goaded into taking a bad stance in a political discussion (politics being something he was NEVER known for).
Like think about that for a minute. He said something controversial, and a whole company made up of people that were his heroes growing up turned against him, while the few people defending him were mostly alt-right lunatics.

If that doesn't fuck a guy up and make him lose his drive to make humor vids, I don't know what would.

He shouldn't have said that dumb shit

Dude said some dumb shit but... it's in the past. I believe in forgiveness. He apologized would you guys be alright? Did he even apologize? I don't remember. It's not worth blacklisting and ruining his life over. Everyone makes dumb mistakes.

He's not being blacklisted.

Liberals really love to punish people.

They say "actions have consequences" and "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences"

Always room for consequences, never any room for forgiveness.

He didn't apologize, he doubled down and went off the deep end saying even worse shit. He's not being blacklisted, if you go taking about politics and shit like that, especially to the extremes he did, you're going to alienate certain people and certain people will lose interest in you after that. It's unavoidable and you should expect that before you go saying things like that.
But even then, he hasn't been deplatformed from YouTube or anything, and if he were to put out a video now it would still undoubtedly get tons of views. Nobody is keeping him from doing anything, nobody has blacklisted him, nobody has ruined his life for what he's said. He chose to share his opinions, even ones he knew were very controversial and would alienate some people, he chose to stop making videos, etc. The only one responsible for his current state is him.

Yeah, he got booted (heh!) from NB. Oficially he left of his own accord, but everyone knows why he's not a part of it anymore.

I don't understand why some people are talking like JonTron has lost so much ever since the Destiny debate. He still has his millions of subscribers. He really didn't lose anything. He's still active on Twitter so he hasn't gone into hiding.

He just hasn't been making videos because he's lazy.

About 10 tweets in 3 months is considered active?
