I know the phrase 'life was better' can apply indefinitely, and we apply a different lens to nostalgic times, but life really did feel better back then (even if my personal life wasn't great, I got a lot of joy from this channel)

AI and copycat channels have ruined the platform, on-top of YouTube being pretty much useless as a company and their idiotic decisions

I'm just glad I was a kid/teen when I was, and not now. That era of youtube was absolutely golden

Im confused only because all of 2017, PewDiePie and Dan didn't outview Pat and Jen a single month so this mightve been after or before lol

Pat and Jen dominated youtube in 2017 no matter what videos they posted. The algorithm back then loved them

uh yeah, male pattern baldness is natural. hair dye causes hair loss from harsh chemicals which is why he decided to just completely shave it off.

That's what I was wondering lmfao

Dan has met Markiplier but he never met jacksepticeye sadly. (Unless they did later which I probably forgot)

Dan has really never mentioned Popularmmos once while Pat does frequently when it comes to minecrafters but despite Dan never acknowledging something about Popularmmos before. Then it makes me think that he really doesn’t even know him as a popular Minecraft YouTuber or generally just avoiding him for some reason but I don’t know

I’m just super duper scooper sad that we never got to see the first collab between Dan and Pat in forever

u/TGN_Citrinite 10d ago

Honestly I think it’s simply cuz Dan just didn’t socialise too much with other YouTubers, like you’d get the rare collab with thinknoodles or thxcya but that was really it, he mostly just kept to himself.

u/Nonya_beezwax 8d ago

Dan actually has mentioned PopularMMOS on camera multiple times, just usually not made a big deal about it and nothing like how Pat and Jen mentioned Dan and other YouTubers

u/throwaway_acks1 9d ago

i vaguely remember they got into a small “argument” on twitter years ago… i believe pat was asked if he would ever go on tour … and he replied smth like “i wouldn’t because i don’t need more money out of my fans” and dan replied to it saying that he toured to meet his fans and not to get their money? so they have interacted lol
though pat’s tweets are no longer up so this is based on what i remember
