Did anyone watch his newest video and cringe at the voice note in the beginning?
Jack, maybe you’ve ‘lost yourself’ because your entire personality was based around being a last minute student. Now you’re living in London without a job because you’ve got no employable skills

The new clothes might get you a few likes on Instagram, but they won’t get you a job

I think he could bull his way into a decent job quite easily. The thing is, he would then have to actually work and that is a step too far.

What is he even doing right now? He lives alone and shouldn't be seeing people, he isn't studying and he isn't working... yeah, he has youtube, but what kind of content can he possibly make if he doesn't do anything? Can he climb or are gyms closed because of lockdown? (I can't climb too because in Italy gyms are closed, so if that's the case I suffer with you Jack!!)
The point is that I would be going mad! You can read and watch netflix for a while, but then you have to fill your days somehow to keep your sanity!

Gyms are closed here

Tbh I live alone and haven't gone crazy yet, but it is hard to get motivation to do much that is proactive. I just have a slower pace if life, almost feel like I'm retired

Jack gave off total mean girl vibes in today's video! Throwing shade at Holly Gabrielle without further explanation, when earlier on in the same video he'd mentioned how down he felt the day another Youtuber released a video about him with some mild criticism? Makes no sense.

Do you have a timestamp?

18:45 onwards on his ‘answering questions I’ve always avoided’ video

Okay yeah that was a bit weird - wasn't even shade, he outright named her! I think YouTubers think that being so candid is always good because it means they're being ~transparent and open~ but there are some times where it really would've been better to just say nothing. Maybe I'm overly sensitive but my mind would start spiralling if someone named me in a YT video saying they didn't 'connect' with me - like even if it's the truth, the person who hears it on the other end is inevitably going to overthink about how they came across. There was just no need for it, especially as it sounds like they were working together in a professional capacity on a project.

I also think Holly is kinda going through it at the moment, so maybe not the best idea to bring up her name in a mildly negative way just to show your followers how ~honest~ you are.

He didn't really address why he's living in London when he doesn't have a job - he completely diverts to calling YouTube his job, like that's the answer. You don't need to be in London to be a YouTuber, and you need to be doing something in order to vlog, well, anything. So, the question still remains: why does he live in London?

Sorry for the double post but also:
"I'm not obsessed with Oxford"

"I'm definitely applying to Oxford again"

This time he's applying to other places, which is what he should have done the first time round (even though he got very defensive when someone pointed this out after his rejection). How frustrating.

So I actually kinda liked it, but But But BUT I don't think it's Jack at all. It sounds like the beginning of a documentary where a guy gets divorced & decides to go live in the woods for a couple of months and comes out with a new perspective on things.

Where did he say he was applying again? Not doubting you, just want to know the context out of interest.

So he wants to start a podcast...... drop me out

Who doesn't have a podcast these days?

Around the 15:33 mark of his latest video (questions I've avoided).

Oh, I was avoiding that video. That's why I haven't seen it :/

does anyone know which youtuber it was who made a video criticising him? i'm honestly curious to see how bad it was

I think it must be Student Vlogs - Dylan, don't know what video it was though. I've only watched one video from him - one where he was baffled as to why he got 58% on an essay because he transcribed the textbook and lecture notes. I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed.

And looks like Jack read my comment here lol (does anyone hate it when influencers incessantly read these threads? let me snark in peace plz) but guess he realised it wasn't the best move to leave that clip in. But it shows that name-dropping people in a negative light when you have an audience can only ever have bad consequences - now he has had to scramble to explain further when he could've just not brought it up in the first place. Now it's just awkward all round for everyone.

I find it really funny that undergrads really think they're the experts at university.

 

[nrs264]

When I was their age I really don't think I was as know it all or arrogant as these study tubers and influencers in their early 20s are.

Having been a student and having worked at a university they make me laugh so much. They act like they're the first to ever experience anything when half the time. I really think some of them are in for a shock when they enter the real world.

I just read the whole thread and lowkey he's digging himself a hole, it doesn't sound any better with an explanation, the explanation really wasn't good. I know you're not going to connect with everyone you work with but in a normal work context it's like posting on your LinkedIn about a project you worked on and saying "but I didn't connect with one colleague in particular", singling someone out is just not a very nice thing to do. Plus no one is entitled to a follow back. Idk man, it's a bit of a misguided thing to say and he really should've taken the whole thing out of the video
