Have to wonder with this. Didn’t he do similar to imallex?
Where did this Alfie Indra lad suddenly pop up from. I’m more and more inclined to believe that had jack got famous when he was trying (house of mum and dad, big brother and original YouTube days) he’d be just like the youtubers he now slags off.
he slagged them off because he was bitter, he’s now employing his mates and girlfriend, has released merch (yes it’s better than oli’s) and seems to not want to speak out against youtubers so much now he’s making good money. Same as all the ones he slagged off did
Alex has been very vocal about how bitter he is about leaving the podcast (notably on Truegeordies Xmas podcast), so it does seem he was pushed same as Jordan. However Jack and Alex did have genuine beef around that time, Jack called out Alex about not being hard on Alfie Deyes as he should have, which I definitely agreed with, which could have been the reason for his departure.
I'm sure they have made references to Alfie being a long time friend of Jack's but seems a bit strange they are proper pushing his social media, youtube channel and music career all of a sudden. I don't think he was ever heard of before the Greg paul video and Jack has been doing youtube over a decade with no mention from him. But it seems like he can no longer make a video without him beside him now which is strange.
I agree he has lost his edge, the reason he got as far as he got was because he wasn't scared to call people out. And now he is rubbing shoulders with the big guys on youtube he has quietened down. It irks me how much he backtracked on his beef with miniminter and willne, all because they are bigger channels. His new zac&jay/josh pieters copying content just doesn't suit him if I'm honest. I really really rate the podcast and some episodes he can be really honest, genuine and funny and it's great, he needs to be like that on his channel.
The one thing that irritates me about Jack and I like the guy as a youtuber, is the fact he set up a patreon account a long time ago, promising exclusive content, live streams, discord chats etc. 'm not a member, but absolutely none of that has happened, he rarely uploads. People are still paying a monthly fee for a guy that rarely uploads, I mean at least just disable the patreon so people aren't paying for nothing! Just irks me and it's a bit disappointing that he's like that.
