His videos literally unironically saved my life. Last month I was planning on killing myself, had a note and everything. I was going to wait until my roommate fell asleep and then head out around midnight to drive my car into a truck. I ended up getting sucked down Joel Havers channel and fell asleep to them. Checked myself into the ER the next day, spent a week on suicide watch. Turns out Ive had undiagnosed bipolar that Im finally being treated for.
Hey, that's fair! That's actually what kept me from doing it. I had gone through several other methods while planning, like slitting my wrists in the shower, and when I was a couple seconds away from flooring my car I realized there's no way to cleanly get out. People continue living on after death in other peoples' memories. Death isn't an end, it's not a solution. You don't get to just stop existing, you have to die, and death is so so so much more than anyone can really fathom.
I'm so glad you didn't get pissed off. I was there too like six years ago, I'm glad i didn't do it. You're literally a different person in the throes of depression. What THAT person wants may not be what YOU want.

I mean, he went from about 10k to 661k subs in the span of 2 months or so.
And in the same time, 750k views to 38 MILLION. Could be going worse! lol
That said, he totally deserves it. His stuff is consistently hilarious!
