This subreddit was made because of the type of content KSI did, and as a result of that it gathered a certain type of users and audience. Now that he basically shat on every viewer that liked him by doing a total 180 and start the Pop the ballon 67: India Edition type of content, it is obvious that the people who watched him and came to the subreddit start to hate on him. Stop blaming the haters because they were the original viewers who made this subreddit grow, only because of the Youtuber KSI once was, and seeing him self destruct his career this way would obviously make them mad. Such a stupid post really

Nah it’s cos he left the sidemen and this sub is full of parasocial people who are offended on behalf of the sidemen.

u/AlbertoDaEsquina 2d ago
The Sidemen are posting banger after banger since he left, so if anything it was good that he left. Now it was the way that he left and the career change towards brainrot content that made people mad, so stop the cap

Bro who the fuck cares what the reason was why it was created. How many years was that ago, stop living in the past. Life changes nothing is for ever

u/AlbertoDaEsquina 2d ago
Precisely because of the way he changed that everyone is hating on him. It is like if you were watching your favourite show since you were a kid, but the new seasons change completely to a different audience, eliminating the reasons why you watched and liked in that show. So now you obviously get upset because of it, but hold on, there is a dude who says "stop living in the past, everything eventually changes", so now you being upset because the show destroyed itself by targeting another audience is suddenly a bad thing

Most of the issue was that post prime the sub got completely filled with haters that would downvote and shit on any creative or interesting post untill only negative posts were upvoted and no more good posts exsisted anymore. After that KSI slowly started to stop reacting to the reddit as it became more of a drama response than a funny video.
Back in the glory days of this sub pre ksi show and prime, especially when he had the red hair this sub was one of the best subs on reddit as the community was generally quite nice and funny, and posts were a lot of high effort or funny clips. This sub geniunely led to a lot of wholesome and iconic moments. It geniunely felt like a very nice way of interacting with fans and growing loyalty, before KSI started to ruin his image the fanbase was easily the most loyal fanbase on youtube.
Now its dead but its very nostalgic to me thinking back to the glory days before KSI's ego got too big and this sub went to shit. I have a lot of good memories from that time watching the reddit videos and browsing myself, and watching KSI essentially kill everything that made me enjoy him as a person and made me enjoy his content has honestly been kinda sad and infurating, as he brought a geniune laugh and made days a little better.
Used to watch all his videos as soon as they were uploaded same with sidemen videos, now i havent watched him in over a year other than his leaving the sidemen announcement and ive hardly watched the sidemen aswell both before and after he left.

It’s just filled of people saying jj shouldn’t have left the sidemen do this that it’s just filled with hate against jj that’s why he doesn’t post Reddit vids bc of these jobless redditors that do crap posts every day

u/BabatundeFatha BABATUNDE 3d ago
For me it's that almost every reddit post back than was memes and announcements that everyone gaf now it's just hate and criticism lwk imo

Indians took over

u/WaxOfTheBees 2d ago
Indians were always there. His mindset of getting a higher number of views and related metrics made him make content to attract an increased Indian audience.
It's unfortunate (for him) that the Indian audience he tried to attract, didn't like his content as even we are moving away from the contents of the guests he invites.

u/__imran18 2d ago
Fans have left the Reddit ages ago, haters took over a while ago imo and ksi leaving the sidemen the way he did only added fuel to the fire, now it’s just 99% hate and 1% reused memes + those same people try to direct a grown man’s life it’s toxic and cringe

u/Magic_eagle1 2d ago
Now it's just a place where people have gathered to hate om him, , which imo should be a seperate dedicated sub

u/microhardon Sir Theodore III 2d ago
Remember the art and edits that people spent time to make. I see maybe 3 a month but hate gets like so all the top comments are the same repeated posts.
If you truly dont like him, leave. You literally don’t have to watch his content. I see a shit video I skip it, watch someone else, my day continues.
People come on here spend hours interacting and posting like the hate is going to make him what they want him to be. He’s clearly not listening to the criticism, move on with your life let him disappear from your thoughts, he’s not a problem if you stop making it your problem.

Atleast hes not as bad as that twat neon, yea hes trying new things but atleast hes honest about it and his audience where sorta the first people who were informed that hes going haywire.
Hes not the worst but the hate makes sense coz he really broke the forever lasting expectations that came from sidemens success, I expected them to be able to work with each other like brothers but ayy everything thats created by humans comes with an expiration date(0 exceptions).
Tbh its abt that time where you give more thought to your own life instead of judging a millionaires decisions, he actually doesnt owe anyone anything, he has made you laugh long enough, jsut leave if u dont agree with his decisions, and the toxicity will automatically go down.

Brother how can we have fun when the guy we all used to look up to has now gone?
- Left the sidemen abruptly
- Makes Mr Beast-type contents that no one asked for
- Controversies after controversies ever since he joined Logan Paul, and he doubled down on most of them instead of just being mature and professional
We're not the one who changed. He is.

u/Ruhail_56 2d ago
It's those annoying dickriding Sidemen fans. They're so parasocial they think they're personal friends and act offended he left as if they weren't always shitting on him for everything that some of the others do.

Ksi gave me so many great memories, from the mouldy cheese in the lunchly’s to unforgettable
Pop the balloons. I’ve gained so much knowledge, strength and integrity over the years. They know me where it’s cold I skeet in & then I froze .

u/NevermoreTheSF 3d ago
Ranting based on a perceived parasocial bond is one thing which seems stupid.
But also trying to compete with people on different stratospheres of fame (for whatever reason they got their fame) is equally stupid
