Same here. I dont really watch streaming or the whole YouTuber thing anymore after he was gone. He really knew how to put a smile on your face. I wish he got the help he needed.

I wasn't too familiar with him, but I appreciated his enthusiasm from the clips that I've seen.

It's sad how everyone was clowning him months before his suicide and thinking that he's only acting up to gain attention.

Hindsight is 20/20

On the surface, it looked like he wasn't taking it seriously, based on the events surrounding his wellness check. But when he put out that apology video that's when you knew he realized what had happened. And he felt he couldn't come back from it because of how much infamy he had gotten. I truly wish he could've.

And yeah, a lot of people overdid it. Made dumb assumptions, harassed the guy endlessly... And truth is none of those people are going to learn no matter how much they claim they will when someone commits suicide.

The issue for me is that it did feel fake. He was too over the top, to me it mad sense he had mental issues because it felt like the him he showed the world was all a performance.

The vast majority of youtubers are putting on a performance.

Sometimes I feel like it didn't really happen but it did. Makes me so sad remembering his hype moments. Sucks.

I still watch announcement reactions, but can't even stomach watching Etika's anymore. Even after that video of him being taken away while screaming put a damper in his videos, I couldn't watch them.

His reactions were always REALLY over the top, and couldn't help but wonder if they were a product of mental illness.

I always found him annoying because a lot of his reactions it was apparent he was putting it on rather than being genuine.

Still his death was tragic. He absolutely should have been banned from websites like youtube and twitch when it became obvious how unstable he was.

In college my best friend had bipolar disorder and one night wandered a highway naked during an episode. She also ran a popular website where people wanted to hear her opinions a lot and viewed her as a kind of public figure. I could tell how much that messed up her mental state. When Etika was still streaming publicly during his mental downslide I could see the same thing happening and I was downright angry that he was granted access to these venues, and so many people didn't see what was happening and where it would go.

Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet. No point getting hostile or snide about it

He was banned. He intentionally posted porn, getting youtube to ban his channel with over 2000 videos gone. Many of them seem to be gone forever, particularly his earlier playthroughs (which were honestly his best content because he was completely genuine in those, unlike his reaction videos).
I remember that youtube removed his videos but I also know he was still posting content to websites after that happened.

Banning him and removing videos because he broke their porn policy is different from blocking him from the site to protect his mental health.

He needed to be completely removed from social media but he still had access.

If I had been one of his close friends or family I would have tried to appeal to all his social media sites (twitter, instagram, facebook, youtube, twitch, whatever else) to ban him at least for now. I doubt they would oblige.......but they should. When there are thousands of people watching you and interacting with you through the internet it changes the way you think and act. You can't process that properly when you're mentally volatile.
