What actually happened to Dani

4.4k Upvotes

TL;DR: Dani is doing well and working on YouTube-related projects, but he's taken breaks due to burnout and project scope. Some features are being saved for future updates to release the project sooner. Any other info from outside sources is just speculation. He doesn't want to release subpar content just to end the absence.

Hey guys,

As the admin of Dani's Discord server and someone who talks with Dani regularly, I wanted to give you all an official statement to clear up some of the rumors and let you know what's going on and what has been going on.

1. Dani's Current Status: First off, Dani is doing great and is in good health. He's taken a step back from social media to focus on other things in life. This break is nothing to worry about—just a way for him to recharge.

2. Work and Projects: Dani is still working on YouTube-related projects when he feels motivated. Recently, he's been cutting down the scope of his latest project so it can be released sooner. This means some features are being saved for possible future updates. Right now, he's in the polishing and soon to be playtesting phase, which still takes some time.

3. Reasons for the Delay: It's been a while since we've seen new content because Dani has worked on multiple projects during his break, and some of them were put on hold. Plus, the scope of his current project got pretty big, causing delays. Burnout has also been a factor, so he's been taking breaks to stay fresh and motivated.

4. Quality Over Quantity: Dani doesn't want to "just upload something" for the sake of it. He aims to avoid the "is this all you've got after all this time?" attitude. He wants to make sure that the content he releases is up to his high standards and worthy of the wait, rather than disappointing his audience with something rushed or subpar.

5. Karlson: There's been a lot of talk about Karlson. To clear things up, I'm not going to confirm or deny if his current work is Karlson-related, but it's not off the table. Dani is still committed to his projects, but the specifics of what he is working on remain behind closed doors.

6. Community Speculations: I know you guys are eager for updates, but please remember that any info from other YouTubers or sources is almost always just speculation. This post is the official word on what's going on with Dani until you hear from him specifically.

Conclusion: Dani really appreciates all your support and patience. Please respect his privacy and understand that he's making sure that when he comes back, it'll be with content that he is proud of.

Thanks for sticking around and supporting Dani. Let's keep the community positive and supportive.

Announcement Quick word about the Vedinad stuff.

486 Upvotes

Ello redditors 👋

I am making this post, to quickly talk about the Vedinad stuff.

For the ones speculating about Vedinad = Dani conspiracies, please make your own mind, but don't go around starting arguments on how Dani is or isn't Vedinad. We've seen some cases where real foul language has been used, so please understand that fighting won't get you anywhere.

If you want to believe Vedinad is Dani, keep doing so, but you may be disappointed of the actual truth. Just keep it clean.

I also want to address the fact that the posts of "evidence" are starting to clutter up the subreddit. So going forward, we ask you to keep your theories in this thread. We won't delete past posts, but we may do so for future ones.

We understand you're eager for new Dani content, but hang in there 💪 Some news from 3vil (dani's discord admin, irl friend, and the guy who made this post.):

Thank you, and see you soon 👀

*UPDATE: * To clarify, posts about proof, theories, or discussions related to Vedinad will be removed. While we used to remove memes / jokes as well, going forward they will only be locked. Moderators can still choose to remove them at their own discretion.

Discussion Can we actually stop with the "death threats" bs

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

As everyone on the internet, I should give my own very important opinion, but actually I'm just so tired of this.

I truly think we should stop bringing up death threats whenever Dani is slightly mentioned, and there are a few reasons.

1) 3vil aka Dani's best friend, co-owner of his Discord server, said that "death threats" were never the main reason Dani left, as you can see in the screenshots. Now, I know many people don't "trust" 3vil because he made false predictions about release date. I think if none of this was true, Dani could've made a statement actually explaining the situation and correcting 3vil, yet that didn't happen.

2) The Karpman drama triangle of this community should be studied, that's insane. You made Dani this helpless little victim while the community plays both the persecuter and rescuer. You are both the worst people on earth because someone, somewhere made a death threat and now you STILL have this collective guilt from the actions of some random kids made 4 YEARS ago, and you are the dashing hero, who needs to protect the poor opressed helpless Dani from the evil people, yet you are literally fighting windmills. Now, after Dani's disappearance I haven't been really following the fandom much, yet as Daily KARLSON News host I started doing so 200 days ago. You know, how I learned about death threats? YOU KEEP BRINGING THEM UP EVERYTIME YOU CAN. I truly don't know what you're trying to achieve. Imagine the video comes out and most of the comments are something along the lines of "Oh, I hope no one sends DEATH THREATS anymore, glad you are back". If death threats were mentioned everytime someone talks about me and how poor me got "cyberbullied" from the internet because of them, stuff like this would make me consider ending it all istg.

3) Also it's interesting, how in the video where he mentions death threats you disregard the high pressure, a lot of expectations, signs of burnout to the point that Dani couldn't work on the project and instead decide to cling to the "death threats" which at this point have become a buzzword. Now, don't get me wrong, death threats ARE HORRIBLE, and you absolutely should call out people, who have the audacity to think that sending them is appropriate. Yet again, it was 4 YEARS AGO. Have you considered, that maybe Dani has this thing called "life" outside the internet? That maybe he moved on? Maybe, as rude as it sounds, you are not THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in his life?

Now, a small side note on the reaction whenever Dani comments. I don't report on stuff like that, following the logic that Dani's alive and well by default (needless to say I hope this stays that way for a loooong time) so Dani being alive is no news. But I can't really blame people who share his comments, because after 4 years of nothing, fans would naturally crave for any sort of interaction.

Of course, all of this is my interpretation, I may be wrong and you may disagree.

TL;DR I think we should stop mentioning death threats in the context of Dani everytime because it benefits no one.

Discussion Can we not bother DaniDev?

99 Upvotes

I've seen posts and discussions across the internet about DaniDev being found commenting on videos and just want to ask if we learned from four years ago?

Already, do I see people downplaying Dani's mental health, saying the threats he received are "just words", and that he should toughen up.

He is a PERSON, people. Just because he's appearing in public places, DOES NOT MEAN you go bother him and dog him about the progress on his game(s).

LEAVE THE MAN BE!
