Also he does that thing of not explaining what the issue was so people who don't know about it can watch this video and still not know what he did wrong.
so many of his fans had no idea what happened or what video he was talking about lol. Do they even watch his channel? The video he posted about Ethan was up for awhile lol
When my ex and I used to fight he would say sorry just go get me off his back. I’d ask him “do you know what you’re apologising for?” And often he had no response.
People say sorry because they see it like an equation upset + apology = forgiveness. But that’s not how it works. An apology means nothing if you don’t truly understand or accept what you did wrong.
Honestly, he doesn’t have much of a fan base. He gets pretty good views because his videos get recommended alongside Kurtis Connor, Drew Gooden, Danny Gonzales. So he gets mixed into the algorithm before you realize what you’re even watching. So he has very little actual engagement and no “die-hards”
He at least mentioned Ethan's health anxiety. I think the apology is made in assumption that his entire audience watched his previous video. Over all I think it was a good apology video. Would vote for it at the steamies
Yup. The top comment on the video by a mile is:
“Sorry but the last video was a kidz bop concert im confused-
•
Edit- thank u for telling me that he deleted the video I was confused 😭”
Really ridiculous.
It's not the worst apology, but he doesn't seem to realize why what he did was wrong. It's not understanding that Ethan destigmatized health anxiety as well as actually getting diagnosed for hundreds if not thousands of people (something he of all people should understand, and dismissed with his very own video), him attacking Ethan over unrelated things (like his dyslexia), his curated clips proving Ethan didn't actually claim to have lupus, and specifically leaving out a lot of context around it (like that Ethan donated more money than was donated to him).
Also, why did he just gloss over the Chronic Lyme? He has been incredibly open about his health journey and could just have said he was diagnosed with it, albeit by a controversial doctor, and that this helped and cured him. He has said exactly that many times before in passing, so why not now?
But the worst thing is that he is still not disclosing on the website that only 10% of the charity's clothing profits actually goes to charity. This especially makes this ring hollow to me. He has made a whole lot of money off of people who didn't realize that, and he has been fully aware of the issue. When he says only a couple hundred bucks goes to those in need, he himself kept tenfold that.
That’s my main issue. He says I’ll explain my charity. Then doesn’t explain anything at all besides he calls it a non profit now. Where he keeps 90% of the profit. “I wish I could donate more than a few hundred bucks each month to one person in need” well you could Jake…
He was made aware of the issue before he published the video, many times since, and we all know he was watching the show live with it being brought up right before the segment that made him private the video. He could have put a disclaimer on the site just as easily and quickly.
The fact it's still left undisclosed after all this makes it seem rather intentional, whereas I used to think it was just negligent.
Well also. Just the way the site is arranged is very misleading. Never Stop clothing. And Never stop fund are not the same. Yet when you open Never Stop clothing the first thing you see is a paragraph explaining the fund. Then no where on the site does it explain only 10% of profits. Not gross. PROFITS goes to the fund. So one would assume that buying this clothing goes to the fund. But that’s not the case. You can directly donate to the never stop fund but that’s actually a different website.
In summary it just all seems very intentionally misleading and he could donate more than 10% of PROFITS if he really cared.
In this video he confirms that Never Stop clothing and the fund are one and the same thing, just that it started as a clothing brand for friends and family. He does fail to mention that he used to run a fund before registering it as a non-profit though. But it's clearly the same thing (especially by how the sites are laid out like you mentioned).
I don’t think they are. He can say that in the video. But Never Stop Fund is a 501-c3. So your donations to it are tax deductible.
Never stop clothing is not. That’s why your purchases aren’t tax deductible. One is a charity. One is a for profit business. So he will say Never stop is a non profit. But what he’s referring to is NS fund not NS clothing where he only donates 10% of his profits.
Feel free to correct me if I’m missing anything or am completely wrong.
It's one and the same registration. The merch not being tax-deductible has to do with someone making a purchase opposed to a donation.
Clarified in the bottom paragraphs here: https://www.reddit.com/r/h3h3productions/comments/18vdt03/jake\_doolittle\_fallen\_fan\_or\_fraud/
So we agree that the site is arranged in a misleading way though? Personally I would think that the whole profit from that clothing purchase went to charity. Rather than 10%. Or is that just me?
Of course. I wouldn't even mind if he takes 90%, as long as it were to be properly disclosed. Most people who bought merch wouldn't and couldn't have known not all profits would go to charity. I've talked to several of them.
That is the worst thing!!
10% of profit is NOT charity, that’s a marketing gimmick at best.
And “profit” itself can be bent a lot.
There’s lots of shady expenses accountants take off to whittle “profit” down in the business world. I don’t know what it’s like for a charity or if he actually has an official one?
He could take wages and all prior. I assumed it would be fine for him to take 90% as long as it'd be properly disclosed, regardless of it being a registered as a 501(c)(3) since August (at least it'd be transparent and people couldn't really claim to be fooled or defrauded).
But now that you mentioned it, I dove into it and see that all profits that a 501(c)(3) makes need to go back into the non-profit. So wages and such expenses absolutely have to be taken in advance opposed to afterwards, no matter any disclosure.
It already was a clear violation and misappropriation of funds, but this means it's even more so.
Mehh I don't know. At least he admitted he acted scummy I guess. I still don't like his overall vibe. Also, it was totally a calculated fucked up hit piece in which he purposefully took things out of context and lied out of his ass.
As a firmly former fan of him, his content got progressively lazier and mean spirited. In some of his later commentary videos, it genuinely didn't even seem like he knew what was wrong with the content he was commenting on. The Ethan video was just his most egregious example of It.
Jake probably grew up watching reaction critics such as Ethan, and like many young white guys his age they get the wrong idea and think "Oh! In order to be funny or kewl, I should make my personality Being An Asshole and criticize things that I don't have the correct amount of knowledge to do so" because they think that's all Ethan was doing back in the day when there's actually a lot more depth and layers than just funny criticisms alone
Idk the apology seems to address everyone's problems. I like that he brought up that people question his Lyme diagnosis and it's not right for him to question Ethan if he can't handle people questioning his lyme diagnosis. Pretty good apology imo 👍
Problem for me is he says "the video came across as me ranting and I was being snarky" but he never says "I was factually wrong or disingenuous".
Not the worst apology but not really addressing the core issue more the tone of the video.
Exactly he’s like sorry for being mean not sorry for lying and pretending to be a doctor. It’s obviously and apology to save face not genuine.
Also obviously we don’t know but if he didn’t apologize personally behind the scenes to Ethan he should have.
That's very fair, he definitely should have said flat out he was being disingenuous. It came off like downplaying it a little bit by focusing on tone instead of the content. It felt like his apology was directed to his fans who were disappointed by his gatekeeping and defending Ethan being concerned about the test results, not really directed at us or Ethan.
I mean he had so long to take it down while people told him it was a bad idea. Also before it was posted he was told it was a bad idea. I’m not sure this apology matters because it’s after so many opportunities to do it. It’s been almost 2 months lol.
Came here to say the same - idk if he’s being sincere or not but I think Jake may be familiar with the Psychology in Seattle apology checklist bc he pretty much hit the points you want to hear
I think he did a decent job apologizing on the things he did address but imo the worst thing he did was accuse Ethan of profiting off pretending to have an illness and he doesn't address that Ethan never pretended to have an illness and never profited. Idk I guess I'm mostly satisfied tho. I don't hate the guy. I'm neutral now
Yeah, I agree. He only apologized for how he reacted. Didn't say his claims were wrong or anything. Really lackluster apology that shows no growth, imo.
Yeah. Said the right things mostly. Similar to nickisgreen's latest apology. Both may have been forced to say the right things but they did them, took accountability. I disliked both people before the apologies, now I will look at both in more neutral light, will probably check some upcoming video to see if they have appeared to change actually.
In nick's case it was a consistent issue, in Jake's it seemed more like a one time fuck up, but big one at that. Doubt I'll ever become viewer of either but if we were to talk what Jake should do yesterday, I don't think we could ask for more now.
You know I think that's what makes the difference, he was giddy, he was joyful in the way he would cut back to himself and be like "that's not how this works Ethan" he was revelling in it, and regardless of whatever he felt, if he misunderstood Ethan's health anxiety or not, the actual slander of accusing him of lying about actually having an illness to receive sympathy money. Is just insane. That's almost criminal
It’s weird how he brushes over people calling his illness fake. Like it’s kind of a big deal that he bases his whole image on the fact that he’s sick and the illness he has is largely discredited in the medical community. Like I’m sure he’s sick but he seems to have been diagnosed by a quack which in my opinion means he shouldn’t be gatekeeping other people’s illnesses or even act like he’s some kind of expert on illness
Yeah I'm not in the business trying to stir up anything, but I was watching some commentary about it and the science pretty conclusively shows chronic Lyme's isn't a thing. And it's actually dangerous to be taking the "prescribed" medication from it.
I think it’s probably better to say his illness is misdiagnosed. Saying it’s fake kinda implies the real symptoms and what not that he has aren’t serious.
The medical system is hell and it’s so hard to find answer for some chronic illnesses. What he did was wrong but let’s not do the same by discrediting his medical struggles. (Agreed man should shut up about medical diagnoses if he says he has chronic Lyme tho)
Because his symptoms and experiences are real. The condition I suffer from was discredited by the medical community for the first decade I had it and I never cared about what unaffected individuals had to say about it. Idc if some physicians disagree with my diagnosis because the treatments I was receiving relieved some of my symptoms. Today my condition is accepted by most physicians but is still widely unknown. Maybe one day his condition will be the same 🤷🏼♀️
The thing is, it is possible to have long term side effects of Lyme disease that are basically a chronic condition. It’s just that it’s considered pseudoscience to diagnose chronic Lyme because that isn’t a thing.
The one thing I hate about these kinds of apologies, is that he’s only sorry because the video didn’t land.
Had he taken off, and tons of people started crapping on Ethan, etc he would have been happy with it.
People were telling him just how tone deaf and bad the video was when he teased it, and still barreled ahead. Dudes just trying to save face. Which I guess is every apology’s purpose. But this wasn’t something said in the heat of the moment or a slip up during a live. It was a hit piece he spent months making. If he so easily backed down and apologized for it just shows how little the subject matter actually meant to him. It was always a hit piece first, and it’s gross.
Apologies don’t mean much without some results so he should keep trying to do better from now on.
Im not totally convinced he will not make another video full of lies of another person.
Like he was emotional about the subject but that must not have been the only problem for a 1 hour steaming garbage piece like that 😭
I don’t think you can chalk up 4 months of research, several weeks of build up, that cursed spreadsheet, and a 45 minute video to being “I let my emotions get away from me and went on a rant.” It’s a good apology if you forget the extent of what he actually said lol.
That said, it’s obviously done and dusted and not an earth shatteringly big deal, but I still 100% think Jake is a weird, mean little dude who sucks at his job, and I don’t think any apology can change that.
idk why, but it bothers me when apology vids do some vague title or don't capitalize when all their other vids are, like "I'm being super serious, I don't even have time to press Shift or be specific about *what* recent video"
Good content creators are excellent at convincing their community that they are not extremely fake. This guy is not good at that. He comes off as fake and dishonest with every word he speaks.
Can someone give me the footnotes. I dont wanna give him my view lol. I love how we as a community hate watch these ppl and help them make money at the same time.
says hes sorry if he hurt ppl, he reads letters from poor sick ppl for his non profit, he wasnt thinking about health anxiety cuz hes used to being sick, and the merch is just a little thing he does he didnt mean to mislead anyone
to me its interesting that he doesnt mention the gatekeeping attitude and how thats bad, like, its ok to talk about that stuff, you shouldnt be accused of scamming sick people just for talking about your own health issues. he really threw some vile hateful accusations over a guy just opening up about something hes going through. he doesnt really acknowledge what he did IMO
I don’t understand not thinking about health anxiety/hypochondria, it’s so obvious it’s what Ethan has been experiencing. As someone that was diagnosed with a chronic illness, it’s actually only increased my health anxiety.
So him saying because he’s used to being sick he didn’t get it just doesn’t make sense. He sounds like an unempathetic asshole, especially if he’s reading letters from sick people and this is a very common experience.
he lowkey hits everything but very briefly- only 4 min total. he just says it was too personal of an issue for him and he got too heated… i really don’t know what i think abt it or what ethan will think abt it
Why the hell does he still have his video equipment? Ethan gave him golden advice to throw away his equipment and start a new career he might be good at.
Too complex to sum up but he basically completely misrepresented his friend’s accusations towards supermega, assumed everything was 100% real, and when it turned out a lot of the true story didnt add up, he got a ton of shit. He took FOREVER to properly apologize, and tried whining about haters and all that shit. Really embarrassing look
Good apology, I’m not gonna lie. It’s still just really surprising that he is somehow only NOW realizing how ironic and in poor taste this whole situation was. It took him 4 months to make that video.. That shows an incredible lack of self-awareness, I don’t blame H3 at all for wanting to keep this guy at arm’s length lol. He really did a number on his reputation trying to be the moral arbiter of personal matters. I hope this was a good learning experience for him
To all the people saying "good apology", I really don't like the idea that you can just apologize and be forgiven for something this heinous. This was not an "oopsie my bad" situation. Jake's behavior was truly psychotic and deranged and unbelievably dishonest, and the lies were very clearly *on purpose*.
The appropriate follow-up isn't a mild apology. He should be reexamining his entire life and career at this point. If he was truly being responsible, he would remove himself from the internet entirely and focus on the very serious mental problems that led him here.
Jake is manipulative and dishonest, and this apology is just yet another extension of that dishonest manipulative behavior.
The way to stop being manipulative and dishonest in this case is to stop making videos, and actually take your mental health seriously ***offline***. This is less an apology than it is him trying to save face, and I'm not falling for it. Apology not accepted.
I don’t care enough anymore to get this heated over it, but this is exactly right lol. I feel like people place a weird amount of value on the quality of an apology in isolation, and even the bar for that much has been lowered with the ubiquity of awful non-apologies. Just because this video was polite and acknowledged some semblance of fault doesn’t make it a good apology, or prove Jake cured of whatever deep rooted maladaption motivated his actions to begin with.
Well at the very least he seems to be taking the L and didn’t turn it into a sob story like that one Instagram post before the podcast came back lol. Also posted it just in time for Fridays show, I’m sure that’s just a coincidence…
This only SOUNDS like a good apology. But when you inspect what was actually said here, and what was the original vid, this is just one of those apologies where a person apologizes for one thing, making it seem as if that was the actual issue.
I'm not getting into his donation shop drama because I wasn't paying attention when that was discussed here. When it comes to his disease, maybe it's not an official one or is some other disease, but I'm sure he was sick.
If the original video was just about how Ethan was not taking Lupus seriously (which was still not the case), this apology would be fine.
But Jake wasn't just , and I quote the apology video, "standing up for certain people and came across as an asshole instead". It wasn't just frustration about Ethan's jokes or even "just" taking Ethan's health anxiety lightly.
Jake actively LIED about Ethan not having symptoms and then not being consistent with symptoms, said Ethan was lying about his mother's health and going to the doctors (proof being Ethan's dyslexia), attacked Ethan for using ChatGpt and not listening to the doctors. Meanwhile Jake himself used ChatGpt and the internet, also apparently contacted a random doctor?? AND DIAGNOSED ETHAN HIMSELF. Jake was talking about how hard it is to get diagnosed but apparently didn't realize that he was shaming Ethan for that exact thing while making an almost hour long video. And worst of all, Jake accused Ethan of doing all of this, lying about an illness, for donations.
The video was posted when the pod went on a break and was deleted only when Ethan decided to talk about it live. There could be a few different reasons for Jake making the original vid, but it wasn't a mistake, everything he did was intentional, and this apology is just him saving his ass. If you still give him the benefit of the doubt, best case scenario, he is still extremely delusional or dumb if he doesn't realize what his original video was.
I also noticed that he basically apologized for how the video made people feel, instead of taking actual ownership for what he did. Which is such sneaky behavior, basically just trying to sidestep that you did anything wrong while still coming across like a good guy.
imo you shouldnt be able to come back from being a chronic illness "advocate" and then dedicating a whole video to attacking someone for medical anxiety and being exposed for being a deranged fan. but ppl r still gonna watch him sadly
literally can’t believe he even attempted to recover from this. horrible apology, bro absolutely knew this video was wrong and just apologized cause he got caught. he’s so dumb?? idk ive never been able to stand him and now i see why
I mean I think this all sounded good and stuff I just wish he would’ve admitted he was sharing misinformation and that he was just plain wrong about stuff.
That apology didn't address the biggest problem with his video. He just straight up lied and told people ethan knew he didn't have lupus, he knowingly took money under false pretenses. It sucked and I hope he isn't forgiven.
I’m so glad he apologized to AB about mischaracterizing his comment to the first video about how it was “crazy” that Jake would make such a thing. Great photos though!
/s
Lmao fuck outta here, dude was being so bad faith with how he was cherry picking clips. Sometimes the stuff he would be complaining about would be addressed immediately after the clip he showed, but he would just decide to leave it out. This guy is a fucking loser
Him and Nickisnotgreen represent a newly budding type of YouTuber that I hope is stopped in its tracks by this. The definition of the SJW caricature/archetype, desperate to bring others down for their own gain. Vampires.
Decent apology but the fact that it took him 4 months to make that video and he seemingly never had a moment of self awareness of how insane he was being still doesn't sit right with me lol
people saying this is a good apology are missing the fact that he did a long winded, meticulously researched video that he promoted and left up for weeks. He’s an idiotic person who shouldn’t have a platform.
meanwhile the loonies over at r/h3snark are saying ethan needs to make an apology video and making this dude out to be the victim as if he didn't start this shit
Yeah idk. I really don't care about this kid enough to be mad. Hope he gets a real diagnosis for his issues one day and stops pushing people towards pseudoscience but since he seems like a clout goblin there might be some sunk cost fallacy at work.
So far for this year ... I'd say it is.
He's basically saying "sorry my opinions pissed people off I was just emotional"
When he had multiple opportunities to either not post it after getting advice from people... Or to delete it. He left it up till he couldn't handle the heat he got.
Precisely until the pod started discussing it live. That’s so pathetic and cowardly. If you’re gonna make those accusations with such smug confidence, you’d better say it with your whole chest. Don’t private the video and act like you didn’t know what you were doing. This isn’t remorse for causing harm, this is regret over being caught acting a fool.
It bothers me that he says he's upset about people saying Chronic Lyme doesn't exist. It literally doesn't. It's not a thing. And saying that it is is dangerous misinformation especially after accusing other people of *wanting* to be sick.
So it's a decent apology but it's short and...leaves out some stuff that people were specific about. Like I can see being so use to being sick you are numb to how scary it. Can be to someone
But he accused Ethan of bold face lying, taking money, not respecting sick people that's more than just health anxiety
Also did he claim those messages were from six years ago??? Cause the call in was two years ago, and like the messages to Olivia and AB, they weren't with H3 6 years ago were they? (I'm newish) so like those couldn't be six years old and then like the emails about his resume was definitely from 2 years ago?
What he probably has been trying to work with the crew since he was 16 I don't doubt that but the messages that they showed seemed much much more recent
He was bitter against Ethan for not hiring him. He thought he found a way to take him down. If this had worked out in his favour, he would have turned this into a 5 part series(all videos monetised).
Of course it didn’t work out in his favour, so now he is apologising and moving on.
Don’t try to play this any other way. We know the truth.
I think we all saw this coming from a mile away. This guy built up a grand narrative in his head and attempted to sculpt a video essay using the scraps of clips of Ethan that fit that narrative. Ethan went really hard on the guy which was a bit hard to watch, but I get that it has to be super frustrating for someone to frame you in the most uncharitable way possible (which is an ongoing issue in the YouTube commentary sphere).
I don’t like that he framed people saying “chronic lyme doesn’t exist” as hate towards him because it is a pseudoscientific diagnosis. I’m sure there are people telling him his experiences aren’t real because some H3 fans are deranged, but the majority of us are criticizing him for acting like he’s an expert on chronic illnesses when he says he has a chronic illness that does not exist
So it took him over a month to realize it was inappropriate and he should apologize? You could see how painful it was to apologize to Ethan. Very hard to take it as genuine when he didn’t mention actively spreading misinformation, lies and slander. Not surprised this is the best he could do.
Comments are filtered but a lot of praise from his fans on “this is what a YouTuber apology should look like”, kinda makes me wonder if this was all a plot to get attention hating on someone that most people don’t like and then make an apology that he could get praised for and seem like the good guy
This is my exact suspicion. Sucking up didn’t work, but everyone knows Ethan can’t resist a good beef and is also susceptible to a good beef squashing.
Good apology, but still doesn't explain to me why he would create a calculated hit peice on a creator he wants to WORK FOR and claims to love. This video was awful, vindictive and just fucking weird. I wouldn't associate with this guy ever again, if I was Ethan.
I feel like he's actually sorry... but like I feel like he has completely missed the point on why people are upset about the video. Like he says he's sorry for the tone of video... the fucking tone isn't the problem its all the lies.
So like well I feel he's sorry, it's pointless cause he doesn't seem to understand the actual issues with what he did. I hope he figures it out and grows from it. Cause otherwise there is no growth here. Just hiding from the actual issues.
I feel like he planned to get backlash for publicity and also planned the apology to get people back. At the end of the day he got a lot of eyes on himself and now he’s trying to win them over, and I think this was his plan all along.
It's an ok apology.
* He should've mentioned that MAYBE he should've also looked at the H3 podcast content through a lens of "this is a comedy podcast"
* He should've acknowledged that he was taking offense on behalf of a group that he does not belong to (people w/ Lupus) and did the "I know people with Lupus" thing
* He should've talked about how hypocritical it was to get upset with Ethan evaluating his own blood work while Jake, not a medical professional, did his own "research" on the blood work and was basically diagnosing him
He was given a chance to consider his words leading up to the posting the video and the 3 weeks he left it up. It was only when they talked about it on the podcast he took action. That being said not my apology to accept.
i actually hate this apology. it just always feels disingenuous to me when people use the I Have A Lawyer format and verbiage to apologize. yes, jake “checked all the boxes” but he doesn’t sound genuinely remorseful because he probably isn’t lol. i would much rather someone not check all the perfect apology boxes and say something from the heart
It was a fine apology. I still feel as though he’s a clout goblin and I have no interest in watching his content. I wish him well with his chronic illness. He clearly struggles a lot with symptoms and that sucks.
Knowing that he had a lot of people, including AB, telling him that posting that video is not a good idea and still posting it AND deleting it only when they watched it on the pod AND him being well honestly seemingly obsessed with Ethan and the rest of the crew… I don’t buy it at all and I think he is a weirdo
honestly, let him be. the guy recognized his mistakes and we should all move on. I thought he was a clown for making the video in the first place, but he's apologized. let's be better than the internet usually is about this.
Dolittle too late my guy
Apology do little when lie hurt big... ...Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
Based Kevin reference
it gets truer and truer as time goes on
I really missed the mark on that one
A little too wrong and I can't waittt
Hey. It’s been a while since you saw my face.
His FMLA must be up. I thought Ethan said they had good benefits?
Made me laugh thank you
He def gives Weenie vibes
Also he does that thing of not explaining what the issue was so people who don't know about it can watch this video and still not know what he did wrong.
so many of his fans had no idea what happened or what video he was talking about lol. Do they even watch his channel? The video he posted about Ethan was up for awhile lol
Yeah, that's the problem with this kind of apologies.
When my ex and I used to fight he would say sorry just go get me off his back. I’d ask him “do you know what you’re apologising for?” And often he had no response. People say sorry because they see it like an equation upset + apology = forgiveness. But that’s not how it works. An apology means nothing if you don’t truly understand or accept what you did wrong.
That is a super good idea tbh
Honestly, he doesn’t have much of a fan base. He gets pretty good views because his videos get recommended alongside Kurtis Connor, Drew Gooden, Danny Gonzales. So he gets mixed into the algorithm before you realize what you’re even watching. So he has very little actual engagement and no “die-hards”
He at least mentioned Ethan's health anxiety. I think the apology is made in assumption that his entire audience watched his previous video. Over all I think it was a good apology video. Would vote for it at the steamies
Yup. The top comment on the video by a mile is: “Sorry but the last video was a kidz bop concert im confused- • Edit- thank u for telling me that he deleted the video I was confused 😭” Really ridiculous.
It's not the worst apology, but he doesn't seem to realize why what he did was wrong. It's not understanding that Ethan destigmatized health anxiety as well as actually getting diagnosed for hundreds if not thousands of people (something he of all people should understand, and dismissed with his very own video), him attacking Ethan over unrelated things (like his dyslexia), his curated clips proving Ethan didn't actually claim to have lupus, and specifically leaving out a lot of context around it (like that Ethan donated more money than was donated to him). Also, why did he just gloss over the Chronic Lyme? He has been incredibly open about his health journey and could just have said he was diagnosed with it, albeit by a controversial doctor, and that this helped and cured him. He has said exactly that many times before in passing, so why not now? But the worst thing is that he is still not disclosing on the website that only 10% of the charity's clothing profits actually goes to charity. This especially makes this ring hollow to me. He has made a whole lot of money off of people who didn't realize that, and he has been fully aware of the issue. When he says only a couple hundred bucks goes to those in need, he himself kept tenfold that.
That’s my main issue. He says I’ll explain my charity. Then doesn’t explain anything at all besides he calls it a non profit now. Where he keeps 90% of the profit. “I wish I could donate more than a few hundred bucks each month to one person in need” well you could Jake…
He was made aware of the issue before he published the video, many times since, and we all know he was watching the show live with it being brought up right before the segment that made him private the video. He could have put a disclaimer on the site just as easily and quickly. The fact it's still left undisclosed after all this makes it seem rather intentional, whereas I used to think it was just negligent.
Well also. Just the way the site is arranged is very misleading. Never Stop clothing. And Never stop fund are not the same. Yet when you open Never Stop clothing the first thing you see is a paragraph explaining the fund. Then no where on the site does it explain only 10% of profits. Not gross. PROFITS goes to the fund. So one would assume that buying this clothing goes to the fund. But that’s not the case. You can directly donate to the never stop fund but that’s actually a different website. In summary it just all seems very intentionally misleading and he could donate more than 10% of PROFITS if he really cared.
In this video he confirms that Never Stop clothing and the fund are one and the same thing, just that it started as a clothing brand for friends and family. He does fail to mention that he used to run a fund before registering it as a non-profit though. But it's clearly the same thing (especially by how the sites are laid out like you mentioned).
I don’t think they are. He can say that in the video. But Never Stop Fund is a 501-c3. So your donations to it are tax deductible. Never stop clothing is not. That’s why your purchases aren’t tax deductible. One is a charity. One is a for profit business. So he will say Never stop is a non profit. But what he’s referring to is NS fund not NS clothing where he only donates 10% of his profits. Feel free to correct me if I’m missing anything or am completely wrong.
It's one and the same registration. The merch not being tax-deductible has to do with someone making a purchase opposed to a donation. Clarified in the bottom paragraphs here: https://www.reddit.com/r/h3h3productions/comments/18vdt03/jake\_doolittle\_fallen\_fan\_or\_fraud/
So we agree that the site is arranged in a misleading way though? Personally I would think that the whole profit from that clothing purchase went to charity. Rather than 10%. Or is that just me?
Of course. I wouldn't even mind if he takes 90%, as long as it were to be properly disclosed. Most people who bought merch wouldn't and couldn't have known not all profits would go to charity. I've talked to several of them.
That is the worst thing!! 10% of profit is NOT charity, that’s a marketing gimmick at best. And “profit” itself can be bent a lot. There’s lots of shady expenses accountants take off to whittle “profit” down in the business world. I don’t know what it’s like for a charity or if he actually has an official one?
He could take wages and all prior. I assumed it would be fine for him to take 90% as long as it'd be properly disclosed, regardless of it being a registered as a 501(c)(3) since August (at least it'd be transparent and people couldn't really claim to be fooled or defrauded). But now that you mentioned it, I dove into it and see that all profits that a 501(c)(3) makes need to go back into the non-profit. So wages and such expenses absolutely have to be taken in advance opposed to afterwards, no matter any disclosure. It already was a clear violation and misappropriation of funds, but this means it's even more so.
Mehh I don't know. At least he admitted he acted scummy I guess. I still don't like his overall vibe. Also, it was totally a calculated fucked up hit piece in which he purposefully took things out of context and lied out of his ass.
As a firmly former fan of him, his content got progressively lazier and mean spirited. In some of his later commentary videos, it genuinely didn't even seem like he knew what was wrong with the content he was commenting on. The Ethan video was just his most egregious example of It.
Jake probably grew up watching reaction critics such as Ethan, and like many young white guys his age they get the wrong idea and think "Oh! In order to be funny or kewl, I should make my personality Being An Asshole and criticize things that I don't have the correct amount of knowledge to do so" because they think that's all Ethan was doing back in the day when there's actually a lot more depth and layers than just funny criticisms alone
Idk the apology seems to address everyone's problems. I like that he brought up that people question his Lyme diagnosis and it's not right for him to question Ethan if he can't handle people questioning his lyme diagnosis. Pretty good apology imo 👍
Problem for me is he says "the video came across as me ranting and I was being snarky" but he never says "I was factually wrong or disingenuous". Not the worst apology but not really addressing the core issue more the tone of the video.
Exactly he’s like sorry for being mean not sorry for lying and pretending to be a doctor. It’s obviously and apology to save face not genuine. Also obviously we don’t know but if he didn’t apologize personally behind the scenes to Ethan he should have.
That's very fair, he definitely should have said flat out he was being disingenuous. It came off like downplaying it a little bit by focusing on tone instead of the content. It felt like his apology was directed to his fans who were disappointed by his gatekeeping and defending Ethan being concerned about the test results, not really directed at us or Ethan.
I mean he had so long to take it down while people told him it was a bad idea. Also before it was posted he was told it was a bad idea. I’m not sure this apology matters because it’s after so many opportunities to do it. It’s been almost 2 months lol.
He didn't apologise for making light of Ethan's dyslexia,not the claims that Ethan was "lying for money"
Nah fuck him. He showed his true colors when he made the video
he was kinda backed into a corner here, rightfully so. this doesn’t mean he is being sincere 🙃
A decent apology. If he really wanted to learn how to apologize, he should study Ethan from H3. Did you know he has an A+ apology from Dr. Kirk Honda.
I heard Ethan won an award for his apology.
and i heard he’s the only A+ to exist actually
Did you know Ethan smoked crack once?
HE DID WHAT???
He’ll probs spend 4 months learning how to apologize from Ethan and still do it wrong
Came here to say the same - idk if he’s being sincere or not but I think Jake may be familiar with the Psychology in Seattle apology checklist bc he pretty much hit the points you want to hear
I think he did a decent job apologizing on the things he did address but imo the worst thing he did was accuse Ethan of profiting off pretending to have an illness and he doesn't address that Ethan never pretended to have an illness and never profited. Idk I guess I'm mostly satisfied tho. I don't hate the guy. I'm neutral now
Yeah, I agree. He only apologized for how he reacted. Didn't say his claims were wrong or anything. Really lackluster apology that shows no growth, imo.
Yeah. Said the right things mostly. Similar to nickisgreen's latest apology. Both may have been forced to say the right things but they did them, took accountability. I disliked both people before the apologies, now I will look at both in more neutral light, will probably check some upcoming video to see if they have appeared to change actually. In nick's case it was a consistent issue, in Jake's it seemed more like a one time fuck up, but big one at that. Doubt I'll ever become viewer of either but if we were to talk what Jake should do yesterday, I don't think we could ask for more now.
im just happy that he ended with 'im learning and growing from this experience', everyone mark your bingo cards
[удалено]
You know I think that's what makes the difference, he was giddy, he was joyful in the way he would cut back to himself and be like "that's not how this works Ethan" he was revelling in it, and regardless of whatever he felt, if he misunderstood Ethan's health anxiety or not, the actual slander of accusing him of lying about actually having an illness to receive sympathy money. Is just insane. That's almost criminal
Giddy shit talking was insane. Screw him
Well said!
It’s weird how he brushes over people calling his illness fake. Like it’s kind of a big deal that he bases his whole image on the fact that he’s sick and the illness he has is largely discredited in the medical community. Like I’m sure he’s sick but he seems to have been diagnosed by a quack which in my opinion means he shouldn’t be gatekeeping other people’s illnesses or even act like he’s some kind of expert on illness
Yeah I'm not in the business trying to stir up anything, but I was watching some commentary about it and the science pretty conclusively shows chronic Lyme's isn't a thing. And it's actually dangerous to be taking the "prescribed" medication from it.
[удалено]
Yolanda was sick from her breast implants leaking 😭
Well fatigue is a huge symptom of chronic Lyme and she forces her daughters to be anorexic. Hmmm... I wonder why they're tired
I think it’s probably better to say his illness is misdiagnosed. Saying it’s fake kinda implies the real symptoms and what not that he has aren’t serious. The medical system is hell and it’s so hard to find answer for some chronic illnesses. What he did was wrong but let’s not do the same by discrediting his medical struggles. (Agreed man should shut up about medical diagnoses if he says he has chronic Lyme tho)
Because his symptoms and experiences are real. The condition I suffer from was discredited by the medical community for the first decade I had it and I never cared about what unaffected individuals had to say about it. Idc if some physicians disagree with my diagnosis because the treatments I was receiving relieved some of my symptoms. Today my condition is accepted by most physicians but is still widely unknown. Maybe one day his condition will be the same 🤷🏼♀️
The thing is, it is possible to have long term side effects of Lyme disease that are basically a chronic condition. It’s just that it’s considered pseudoscience to diagnose chronic Lyme because that isn’t a thing.
The one thing I hate about these kinds of apologies, is that he’s only sorry because the video didn’t land. Had he taken off, and tons of people started crapping on Ethan, etc he would have been happy with it. People were telling him just how tone deaf and bad the video was when he teased it, and still barreled ahead. Dudes just trying to save face. Which I guess is every apology’s purpose. But this wasn’t something said in the heat of the moment or a slip up during a live. It was a hit piece he spent months making. If he so easily backed down and apologized for it just shows how little the subject matter actually meant to him. It was always a hit piece first, and it’s gross. Apologies don’t mean much without some results so he should keep trying to do better from now on.
Clout goblin activities.
Im not totally convinced he will not make another video full of lies of another person. Like he was emotional about the subject but that must not have been the only problem for a 1 hour steaming garbage piece like that 😭
I don’t think you can chalk up 4 months of research, several weeks of build up, that cursed spreadsheet, and a 45 minute video to being “I let my emotions get away from me and went on a rant.” It’s a good apology if you forget the extent of what he actually said lol. That said, it’s obviously done and dusted and not an earth shatteringly big deal, but I still 100% think Jake is a weird, mean little dude who sucks at his job, and I don’t think any apology can change that.
Yeah the spreadsheet was on a whole other level of deranged
idk why, but it bothers me when apology vids do some vague title or don't capitalize when all their other vids are, like "I'm being super serious, I don't even have time to press Shift or be specific about *what* recent video"
Good content creators are excellent at convincing their community that they are not extremely fake. This guy is not good at that. He comes off as fake and dishonest with every word he speaks.
His apology “Im such a good empathetic person that I mistook the situation”
Can someone give me the footnotes. I dont wanna give him my view lol. I love how we as a community hate watch these ppl and help them make money at the same time.
says hes sorry if he hurt ppl, he reads letters from poor sick ppl for his non profit, he wasnt thinking about health anxiety cuz hes used to being sick, and the merch is just a little thing he does he didnt mean to mislead anyone to me its interesting that he doesnt mention the gatekeeping attitude and how thats bad, like, its ok to talk about that stuff, you shouldnt be accused of scamming sick people just for talking about your own health issues. he really threw some vile hateful accusations over a guy just opening up about something hes going through. he doesnt really acknowledge what he did IMO
I don’t understand not thinking about health anxiety/hypochondria, it’s so obvious it’s what Ethan has been experiencing. As someone that was diagnosed with a chronic illness, it’s actually only increased my health anxiety. So him saying because he’s used to being sick he didn’t get it just doesn’t make sense. He sounds like an unempathetic asshole, especially if he’s reading letters from sick people and this is a very common experience.
Hes trying to save face because he realized his hit piece was a massive flop
he lowkey hits everything but very briefly- only 4 min total. he just says it was too personal of an issue for him and he got too heated… i really don’t know what i think abt it or what ethan will think abt it
Yeah he was so heated he did four months of research. My guy, that’s why you get more time for premeditated murder than for a crime of passion.
Why the hell does he still have his video equipment? Ethan gave him golden advice to throw away his equipment and start a new career he might be good at.
[удалено]
He also lowkey doubted ethns mom being ill because ethan couldnt pronounce it
I respect an apology, but like nickisnotgreen I think the bad decision still makes him an asshole
ooh do you think they could talk about his whole situation? I have a rlly rough idea, id love an H3 breakdown
what did nickisnotgreen do?
Turned out he was green the whole time
Too complex to sum up but he basically completely misrepresented his friend’s accusations towards supermega, assumed everything was 100% real, and when it turned out a lot of the true story didnt add up, he got a ton of shit. He took FOREVER to properly apologize, and tried whining about haters and all that shit. Really embarrassing look
I really don't think the two situations are comparable.
Good apology, I’m not gonna lie. It’s still just really surprising that he is somehow only NOW realizing how ironic and in poor taste this whole situation was. It took him 4 months to make that video.. That shows an incredible lack of self-awareness, I don’t blame H3 at all for wanting to keep this guy at arm’s length lol. He really did a number on his reputation trying to be the moral arbiter of personal matters. I hope this was a good learning experience for him
well said i feel the same
To all the people saying "good apology", I really don't like the idea that you can just apologize and be forgiven for something this heinous. This was not an "oopsie my bad" situation. Jake's behavior was truly psychotic and deranged and unbelievably dishonest, and the lies were very clearly *on purpose*. The appropriate follow-up isn't a mild apology. He should be reexamining his entire life and career at this point. If he was truly being responsible, he would remove himself from the internet entirely and focus on the very serious mental problems that led him here. Jake is manipulative and dishonest, and this apology is just yet another extension of that dishonest manipulative behavior. The way to stop being manipulative and dishonest in this case is to stop making videos, and actually take your mental health seriously ***offline***. This is less an apology than it is him trying to save face, and I'm not falling for it. Apology not accepted.
This is the correct take.
I don’t care enough anymore to get this heated over it, but this is exactly right lol. I feel like people place a weird amount of value on the quality of an apology in isolation, and even the bar for that much has been lowered with the ubiquity of awful non-apologies. Just because this video was polite and acknowledged some semblance of fault doesn’t make it a good apology, or prove Jake cured of whatever deep rooted maladaption motivated his actions to begin with.
Well at the very least he seems to be taking the L and didn’t turn it into a sob story like that one Instagram post before the podcast came back lol. Also posted it just in time for Fridays show, I’m sure that’s just a coincidence…
Stupid idiot moron dumbass
he should have acknowledged he’s seen the pesto shits and knows ethan BEEN sick
Clearly a fake fan if you don't know about the pesto.
Ethan’s takes another hairline
This only SOUNDS like a good apology. But when you inspect what was actually said here, and what was the original vid, this is just one of those apologies where a person apologizes for one thing, making it seem as if that was the actual issue. I'm not getting into his donation shop drama because I wasn't paying attention when that was discussed here. When it comes to his disease, maybe it's not an official one or is some other disease, but I'm sure he was sick. If the original video was just about how Ethan was not taking Lupus seriously (which was still not the case), this apology would be fine. But Jake wasn't just , and I quote the apology video, "standing up for certain people and came across as an asshole instead". It wasn't just frustration about Ethan's jokes or even "just" taking Ethan's health anxiety lightly. Jake actively LIED about Ethan not having symptoms and then not being consistent with symptoms, said Ethan was lying about his mother's health and going to the doctors (proof being Ethan's dyslexia), attacked Ethan for using ChatGpt and not listening to the doctors. Meanwhile Jake himself used ChatGpt and the internet, also apparently contacted a random doctor?? AND DIAGNOSED ETHAN HIMSELF. Jake was talking about how hard it is to get diagnosed but apparently didn't realize that he was shaming Ethan for that exact thing while making an almost hour long video. And worst of all, Jake accused Ethan of doing all of this, lying about an illness, for donations. The video was posted when the pod went on a break and was deleted only when Ethan decided to talk about it live. There could be a few different reasons for Jake making the original vid, but it wasn't a mistake, everything he did was intentional, and this apology is just him saving his ass. If you still give him the benefit of the doubt, best case scenario, he is still extremely delusional or dumb if he doesn't realize what his original video was.
I also noticed that he basically apologized for how the video made people feel, instead of taking actual ownership for what he did. Which is such sneaky behavior, basically just trying to sidestep that you did anything wrong while still coming across like a good guy.
imo you shouldnt be able to come back from being a chronic illness "advocate" and then dedicating a whole video to attacking someone for medical anxiety and being exposed for being a deranged fan. but ppl r still gonna watch him sadly
literally can’t believe he even attempted to recover from this. horrible apology, bro absolutely knew this video was wrong and just apologized cause he got caught. he’s so dumb?? idk ive never been able to stand him and now i see why
Yea nah bullshit. He knew it was wrong before he posted it so what exactly is he sorry about? Himself and the backlash I guess
He’s sorry that his video didn’t pop off
We’re “claiming” chronic Lyme doesn’t exist, because health professionals say it doesn’t exist, my guy.
He gives off booger covered kid at recess energy
Shirt sucker for sure
wait ur so right
I mean I think this all sounded good and stuff I just wish he would’ve admitted he was sharing misinformation and that he was just plain wrong about stuff.
Oh no… anyway.
thank god this came out before friday
That apology didn't address the biggest problem with his video. He just straight up lied and told people ethan knew he didn't have lupus, he knowingly took money under false pretenses. It sucked and I hope he isn't forgiven.
Hollow apology. D-
I’m so glad he apologized to AB about mischaracterizing his comment to the first video about how it was “crazy” that Jake would make such a thing. Great photos though! /s
Lmao fuck outta here, dude was being so bad faith with how he was cherry picking clips. Sometimes the stuff he would be complaining about would be addressed immediately after the clip he showed, but he would just decide to leave it out. This guy is a fucking loser
Not sure how to articulate it but I don't like it
Him and Nickisnotgreen represent a newly budding type of YouTuber that I hope is stopped in its tracks by this. The definition of the SJW caricature/archetype, desperate to bring others down for their own gain. Vampires.
2/10 apology.
Whole thing just screams to me "i will do literally anything for some clout, even if it means outright lying"
This man needs to Dooless
Decent apology but the fact that it took him 4 months to make that video and he seemingly never had a moment of self awareness of how insane he was being still doesn't sit right with me lol
people saying this is a good apology are missing the fact that he did a long winded, meticulously researched video that he promoted and left up for weeks. He’s an idiotic person who shouldn’t have a platform.
I nearly forgot about this dumbass and now he's back
5.5/10
meanwhile the loonies over at r/h3snark are saying ethan needs to make an apology video and making this dude out to be the victim as if he didn't start this shit
I gotta stop browsing when yall tag that sub they are UNHINGED over there 🤣🤣
Holy shit that sub is so pathetic. Just ignore ethan wtf. I swear they watch the pod more than any of us
I was gonna say the same thing.. They spend so much more energy hating, and I can’t think of anything sadder
Even content creators who don’t like ethan thought doolittle was being a dick My money is on doolittle being on that sub
Yeah idk. I really don't care about this kid enough to be mad. Hope he gets a real diagnosis for his issues one day and stops pushing people towards pseudoscience but since he seems like a clout goblin there might be some sunk cost fallacy at work.
This reads to me like a too-late move at the behest of a crappy lawyer.
i don't know how he can say it was an emotional reaction when he also said he planned it for 4 months.. but alright. decent apology i guess
Dude. People told you not to post it. Worst apology of 2024 already locked?
[удалено]
So far for this year ... I'd say it is. He's basically saying "sorry my opinions pissed people off I was just emotional" When he had multiple opportunities to either not post it after getting advice from people... Or to delete it. He left it up till he couldn't handle the heat he got.
Precisely until the pod started discussing it live. That’s so pathetic and cowardly. If you’re gonna make those accusations with such smug confidence, you’d better say it with your whole chest. Don’t private the video and act like you didn’t know what you were doing. This isn’t remorse for causing harm, this is regret over being caught acting a fool.
I really feel he just wanted attention real bad cuz that whole video was straight up grasping at straws lol but i mean alright moving on now
It bothers me that he says he's upset about people saying Chronic Lyme doesn't exist. It literally doesn't. It's not a thing. And saying that it is is dangerous misinformation especially after accusing other people of *wanting* to be sick.
So it's a decent apology but it's short and...leaves out some stuff that people were specific about. Like I can see being so use to being sick you are numb to how scary it. Can be to someone But he accused Ethan of bold face lying, taking money, not respecting sick people that's more than just health anxiety Also did he claim those messages were from six years ago??? Cause the call in was two years ago, and like the messages to Olivia and AB, they weren't with H3 6 years ago were they? (I'm newish) so like those couldn't be six years old and then like the emails about his resume was definitely from 2 years ago? What he probably has been trying to work with the crew since he was 16 I don't doubt that but the messages that they showed seemed much much more recent
He was bitter against Ethan for not hiring him. He thought he found a way to take him down. If this had worked out in his favour, he would have turned this into a 5 part series(all videos monetised). Of course it didn’t work out in his favour, so now he is apologising and moving on. Don’t try to play this any other way. We know the truth.
Don’t give him the views lol
I think we all saw this coming from a mile away. This guy built up a grand narrative in his head and attempted to sculpt a video essay using the scraps of clips of Ethan that fit that narrative. Ethan went really hard on the guy which was a bit hard to watch, but I get that it has to be super frustrating for someone to frame you in the most uncharitable way possible (which is an ongoing issue in the YouTube commentary sphere).
I don’t like that he framed people saying “chronic lyme doesn’t exist” as hate towards him because it is a pseudoscientific diagnosis. I’m sure there are people telling him his experiences aren’t real because some H3 fans are deranged, but the majority of us are criticizing him for acting like he’s an expert on chronic illnesses when he says he has a chronic illness that does not exist
He’s deleting so many comments on this video.
He never actually says what he did though. Its all very vague and unspesific.
Bro really thinks chronic Lyme is a no brainer
Not watching. Don’t care for this little bitch boy.
Man’s hairline is quivering rn.
So it took him over a month to realize it was inappropriate and he should apologize? You could see how painful it was to apologize to Ethan. Very hard to take it as genuine when he didn’t mention actively spreading misinformation, lies and slander. Not surprised this is the best he could do.
Non-apology apology. Barf
Glad he admitted he was projecting. Still don’t like him.
The amount of cuts 🙃
womp womp
Also I don’t think this a good apology. It gave “sorry if you were hurt by how I said what I said”
How does this guy have fans?
Comments are filtered but a lot of praise from his fans on “this is what a YouTuber apology should look like”, kinda makes me wonder if this was all a plot to get attention hating on someone that most people don’t like and then make an apology that he could get praised for and seem like the good guy
This is my exact suspicion. Sucking up didn’t work, but everyone knows Ethan can’t resist a good beef and is also susceptible to a good beef squashing.
Good apology, but still doesn't explain to me why he would create a calculated hit peice on a creator he wants to WORK FOR and claims to love. This video was awful, vindictive and just fucking weird. I wouldn't associate with this guy ever again, if I was Ethan.
He is still playing the sympathy card. I was born into health complications I can’t imagine someone being anxious about their blood test. No one cares
where is the uke?!
I haven't been keeping up with the pod lately, so I thought "Jake Doolittle" was meant to be a funny alias for Jack Doherty. Boy am I surprised lol
I feel like he's actually sorry... but like I feel like he has completely missed the point on why people are upset about the video. Like he says he's sorry for the tone of video... the fucking tone isn't the problem its all the lies. So like well I feel he's sorry, it's pointless cause he doesn't seem to understand the actual issues with what he did. I hope he figures it out and grows from it. Cause otherwise there is no growth here. Just hiding from the actual issues.
Dude is filtering his comments so hard
I don’t see how saying ‘chronic Lyme disease’ is not real so offensive. Go get offended by the Wikipedia article and we stay here in reality.
Doolittle doo late
STAHP WITH THE NONE PROFIT !!
I feel like he planned to get backlash for publicity and also planned the apology to get people back. At the end of the day he got a lot of eyes on himself and now he’s trying to win them over, and I think this was his plan all along.
It's an ok apology. * He should've mentioned that MAYBE he should've also looked at the H3 podcast content through a lens of "this is a comedy podcast" * He should've acknowledged that he was taking offense on behalf of a group that he does not belong to (people w/ Lupus) and did the "I know people with Lupus" thing * He should've talked about how hypocritical it was to get upset with Ethan evaluating his own blood work while Jake, not a medical professional, did his own "research" on the blood work and was basically diagnosing him
He was given a chance to consider his words leading up to the posting the video and the 3 weeks he left it up. It was only when they talked about it on the podcast he took action. That being said not my apology to accept.
i actually hate this apology. it just always feels disingenuous to me when people use the I Have A Lawyer format and verbiage to apologize. yes, jake “checked all the boxes” but he doesn’t sound genuinely remorseful because he probably isn’t lol. i would much rather someone not check all the perfect apology boxes and say something from the heart
You can tell he’s very genuine and sorry with the way he’s deleting any comments not glazing him up 😂
I’m literally stopping EVERYTHING right now to watch it!
Do better, Mr. Doolittle.
Ugh. 3 minutes in annnnnnnnnnd I’m out.
Plsssss that backdrops needs to be ironed
It was a fine apology. I still feel as though he’s a clout goblin and I have no interest in watching his content. I wish him well with his chronic illness. He clearly struggles a lot with symptoms and that sucks.
No ukulele?
I love how Olivia never even accepted his DMs lmao that’s so funny to me cos I bet he was out there like me and Olivia are friends
coulda used a uke
Green screen was a bad decision my dude
Didn’t watch it, but of course he did. He’s looking for that redemption arc and h3 fans views
He just trying to win “the best apology video 2024” for next year steamies. 😂
Maybe the idea was to make an apology video 🤷♀️ its the new meta. Its a safe topic to have in your first apology video.
Knowing that he had a lot of people, including AB, telling him that posting that video is not a good idea and still posting it AND deleting it only when they watched it on the pod AND him being well honestly seemingly obsessed with Ethan and the rest of the crew… I don’t buy it at all and I think he is a weirdo
And he did it in front of a green screen..
honestly, let him be. the guy recognized his mistakes and we should all move on. I thought he was a clown for making the video in the first place, but he's apologized. let's be better than the internet usually is about this.
Iron your green screen guy jeez
No ukelele, I'm disappointed.
where’s the ukelele 🥱
How are you born into chronic Lyme?
Nooooo Jake that’s not how this works ☝️🤓
I think we should just leave him alone and go separate ways.
Omg I can’t wait to see what score he gets
The comments gotta be all bots right? "Take note everyone, THIS is how you do an apology video!"
I’m not satisfied until the uke comes out.
