than I thought I'd be doing it" "for so it's an accomplishment for me when I first started I didn't know a thing about animating people ask me all the time about animation classes and special courses they should take but I mean I didn't do any of that you want to" "know how I learned how to animate I searched on YouTube how to animate that's it you'd be surprised at what you can learn from YouTube and how unprofessional I am if you think I'm some sort of animation expert stop that" "I still have no clue about anything I could be doing everything wrong I probably am I always thought man doing" "YouTube would be so fun but not it never works I'm just me there's nothing special about me I never really had the thought that it could even be a possibility you know but here we are three years later with two" "million subscribers a great community and pretty much surpassing all my expectations which were pretty low to begin with so that part's not as impressive but it's so crazy YouTube even sent out a little yearbook to all the channels with over 1 million" "subscribers which I didn't even know what the thing so came in display package here open it up like that you open it up like come on like that I didn't even know you - does this thing" "I've never seen any of the channels kind of like talked about it the front has like a bunch of all the names that are in there up there I am right next to your boy open it it says hey Jayden" "animation you started your okay so that's that I made the channel and I didn't come to anything until July so that's what I just like and it's like since then your channels hit some serious tight keep reading and relive" "some of your biggest and most amazing moments you in it and whoa it's like this huge time line who could forget your

this is the class of" "2016 a million you can read that if you want I'm not well I already did and then" "I go through like all the channels that hit 1 million this year or in 2015 oh there I am nope

putting yourself out there in front of so many people is a bit intimidating and a lot of people can get stuck at that part" "YouTube is unique and I can't really think of many other careers that are like this you're flat-out exposed to the huge spectrum of different types of people all at once and they all have the freedom to say anything they want to you" "while hiding behind a computer screen with almost no repercussions like wimp I think YouTube as a real life cubicle job would be ridiculously hilarious your at your cubicle minding your own business doing work on your little computer and some random co-worker person peers over" "your wall and goes hey you suck and I hate you and walks away and you're gay I'm self-conscious and have low self-esteem but even I've been able to get desensitized to meaningless hate comments and ignorance on the" "surface a lot of people probably think wow that must be hard is constantly dealing with an entourage of stupidity and ignorance but in a way I really respect how YouTube is helping me grow tougher skin it can be harsh but you can" "learn to take it I can tell the difference between a meaningless you're stupid and a genuinely helpful critique that I can use to improve my content another thing is that when I first started YouTube I had no idea that" "people could start seeing me as more than just an average person okay wait I might have sounded super pretentious what I'm trying to say is I don't see myself as famous or anything other than just me I grew up as an average kid in" "an average school doing average things literally nothing special or stand out and the fact that a lot of people watch videos I make on the Internet doesn't change the fact I'm still that average person don't put me on a pedestal I just" "talk about the way I see things in my opinion it doesn't make them more valuable than yours or anyone elses and if you disagree you can get out just kidding I've gotten comments and messages from people actually saying I'm" "a god that can do no wrong and that yeah don't do that it's not healthy for anyone to view someone as more than just a human all I do is draw dumb cartoons on the Internet in my pajamas and people" "watch them yes 95% of my videos are created in pajamas you think I'm joking but I spend like two to three weeks of the same clothes one more point about being considered a big channel now is how meeting new" "people and friends on the Internet is actually more difficult you think it's a complete opposite right like hey Jayden you've got like at least two million people who most likely be willing to be closer friends with you why would you" "even have the balls to complain about this kind of thing right but this ties in with the people start seeing me as more than just an average person thing it's getting harder and harder to be able to meet someone new without them" "seeing my sub count and either seeing value in becoming my friend per personal benefit or being intimidated because I'm so intimidating estranged out can go in completely different directions like that isn't it" "I miss being able to just talk to someone new and not get sad to hear that they brag to other people about being my friend because that's not friendship in my opinion at least I say friendship as a mutual balance to respect for each" "other one person shouldn't see the other person in a higher light or something you know because then I wonder if you're my friend because of me or because you like the idea of being my friend there's" "actually been a situation where I found out someone was

concerned yes I" "put going to college and getting a degree on hold so I can make youtube videos also I still can't stand when people watch my videos in front of me you think I get desensitized by it after three years but no whenever someone puts" "on one of my videos in front of me I still want to slam my head on the counter and frisbee the computer away frisbee the computer away and then slam my head on the counter so when people ask me what I do I just go I do" "animation so cool and also it's kind of weird to just meet someone and find out right away that millions of people watch their dumb internet videos that's something I prefer they find out after they get to know me a bit so they judge" "me less but even with all the weird difficulties YouTube comes with between trying to explain to your grandparents that you aren't becoming a failure by dropping college for a bit to post" "Internet videos and dealing with stupid people leaving stupid comments and generally being stupid I really really am grateful to be able to be in the spot" "I'm in ooh too cliche yeah I agree you're probably super desensitized from youtubers always talking about being grateful to be where they are so I'm going to say I'm totally not thankful and lucky to be in the spot I'm in and" "I'm not always going to be in debt to you for watching my videos and helping my impossible dream come true that I totally thought I could reach in a million years because I'm so full of self-confidence it's not like all of" "this has changed my life forever and I'm doing what I love with amazing friends I definitely

crap sorry we should all what if we did like a toast like at a certain" "time we all pour a drink of whatever could be water could be juice could be hard liquor I don't care and then we all have a massive long-distance toast to our anniversary that'd be cool" "I should think of a time okay so on July 23rd at 12:00 p.m. mountain time we all pour one out together mountain time is just my timezone so you have to translate what that is for you when I" "set up the 1 million livestream I said I was going to do it at whatever time it was in mountain time and people didn't know how to convert it to their timezone just google it anyway I like that idea" "July 23rd 12 p.m. ount in time we all do a toast to me posting my first YouTube which was very bad don't watch it tweet me a picture of you
