00:59

01:00

confused to see this at one time Jason

01:03

Nash was a part of the most popular

01:04

group on YouTube and now he's battling

01:07

the Joker for gifts on Tik Tok what a

01:09

way to start the day with Tommy coach

01:11

Tommy thank you so much for being here

01:12

have you never seen one of these Tik Tok

01:14

gifts battles before basically there's

01:16

two creators and you send gifts to the

01:18

respective creator that you're watching

01:20

this bar at the top indicates who has

01:21

the most gifts and when time Runs Out

01:23

Whoever has the most gifts wins their

01:25

prize all of the gifts that they got

01:27

during the battle and then the second

01:30

place person also wins all the gifts

01:32

that they got during that battle so

01:33

needless to say there's a lot at stake

01:35

this is a live stream Where Jason is

01:36

actually battling his wife nav why don't

01:38

you come down in the

01:40

room I'll let you

01:43

in you can come back in the house then

01:45

yeah come back in the house man you look

01:47

like Batman standing over the city now

01:49

hang on if they're married aren't the

01:52

gifts just going to both of them what

01:54

kind of charade is this now at first I

01:56

kind of assumed that most of the people

01:57

watching these live streams were

01:59

children and I I was like ooh that is

02:01

super weird just like asking children

02:02

for money you're basically just asking

02:05

them to steal their parents' credit

02:06

cards in a way I sort of thought of

02:08

Jason Nash as like a babysitter but he's

02:10

also babysitting a thousand other kids

02:13

and if you start choking he's not going

02:14

to call 911 cuz he he can't see you but

02:17

after tuning into a few of his streams

02:18

and actually like clicking on some of

02:19

the profiles of people watching I

02:21

realized that it's actually mostly

02:23

adults which was very surprising to me

02:26

guys what are we doing here stop that I

02:29

promise you there are like a billion

02:31

other better uses for your money than

02:33

helping Jason Nash's wife crush him in a

02:36

gift battle fun as it may be the reason

02:38

I wanted to make this video is cuz I

02:39

think that it's kind of a very

02:41

interesting look at the career span of a

02:45

Creator it's a pretty new career All

02:47

Things Considered like nobody's been a

02:49

full-time online creator for 40 years so

02:51

we don't really know how long this

02:53

career is supposed to last or how it

02:55

will evolve over time so I think it's

02:57

worth looking at why Jason Nash is here

02:59

but between the years of 2016 and 2020

03:02

David do was seemingly at the top of the

03:04

YouTube ecosystem what started as David

03:07

just sort of goofing around and filming

03:09

his friends as up and cominging content

03:10

creators quickly turned into partying

03:13

all the time collabing with huge

03:14

celebrities huge giveaways and giant

03:17

sponsorship deals and if you didn't

03:19

watch the Vlogs around this time you

03:21

might think that David was like the

03:23

biggest part of them but it was actually

03:25

more his friends doing the heavy lifting

03:27

David was always behind the camera and

03:28

sure he was laugh a lot and you'd hear

03:31

him laugh but I really feel like the

03:33

reason people tuned in was sort of to

03:34

live vicariously through David and

03:36

experience the goofiness that was all of

03:39

his friends so while all of the Vlogs

03:41

were on David's Channel and David was

03:43

inevitably the most popular member of

03:45

the Vlog Squad I really feel like he

03:46

owes most of his success to his friend

03:49

group but it was a fun time I watched a

03:51

lot of the Vlogs back in the day and I

03:53

really enjoyed them it felt like you

03:54

were a part of this friend group and in

03:57

a lot of ways you were like the members

03:59

of the Vlog Vlog Squad because like the

04:00

members of the Vlog Squad you also were

04:02

not getting paid for your appearances in

04:04

the videos which is something that I

04:06

always found kind of weird David's

04:09

friends never got any sort of payment

04:11

their only payment was an exposure and

04:13

so what kind of ended up happening was

04:15

because everybody else around David

04:17

wanted to launch their careers off of

04:18

David's Vlogs they all started vlogging

04:21

too but because they would always be

04:22

hanging out together all of their Vlogs

04:24

seem to be just like the same situation

04:27

from a bunch of different angles and

04:29

every was holding Vlog cameras got

04:31

pretty out of hand for a while there

04:32

eventually though during the pandemic a

04:34

bunch of stuff happened that caused

04:35

David to take a step back from vlogging

04:37

mainly a bunch of scary accusations

04:39

about one of his best friends Dom and

04:41

also him almost killing one of his other

04:42

best friends Jeff Whit by slamming him

04:45

into the site of an excavator after

04:46

losing a bunch of followers and probably

04:48

more importantly a bunch of sponsors

04:51

David posted an apology saying he was

04:53

going to do better he said he was going

04:54

to take steps to make sure his Vlog were

04:56

a safer environment for the people in

04:58

them and I want to be able to have a

05:00

place of checks and balances I want to

05:01

have HR if he had to choose between

05:03

quitting vlogging or doing it safer with

05:05

an HR team he was going to do

05:08

that and then he quit vlogging currently

05:11

David is still presumably very rich the

05:13

only place he really posts is on

05:15

Snapchat and from what I can tell he

05:17

mostly just goes around and tours really

05:20

expensive houses and parties a lot he

05:22

doesn't seem to have any Ambitions of

05:24

creating more content on YouTube in a

05:26

lot of ways he's sort of like the Great

05:28

Gatsby of social media now but without

05:31

David sort of Manning the ship that was

05:33

the Vlog Squad a lot of the other

05:34

members basically had to figure out

05:36

other avenues and other ways to make

05:38

money and maintain their following after

05:40

the Vlog ended Zayn and Heath have a

05:42

pretty successful podcast now so does

05:43

Jeff Whit Carly and Aaron I believe have

05:45

a podcast too but I feel like Jason Nash

05:48

out of the entire group is having the

05:49

most trouble adjusting to the post Vlog

05:52

era he has a podcast but it's definitely

05:55

not getting the same numbers that his

05:57

podcast with David did views back in the

05:59

day which David also quit despite them I

06:02

think getting a bunch of really great

06:04

offers that would have changed Jason's

06:06

life David decided to quit cuz he didn't

06:08

want to do that anymore he wanted to be

06:10

the great gats so Jason has now been

06:11

left to fend for himself and it seems

06:13

like Tik Tock gift streaming is what he

06:16

has turned to you excited to go to

06:25

dinner man this is content baby this is

06:29

crazy I didn't know all you had to do is

06:31

just sit there and stare at your camera

06:33

and people will just send you money why

06:35

did I write this whole video so a lot of

06:37

the response has obviously been kind of

06:39

cringing at this this feeling that what

06:41

he's doing now is very shady and I mean

06:44

he's not really harming anybody I guess

06:48

it does seem like it's mostly adults

06:50

sending him money obviously there's

06:51

always going to be kids online stealing

06:53

their parents credit card so that's not

06:54

great I do get kind of a shady vibe from

06:56

it just because there's like there

06:58

literally is no no content for you to

07:00

consume except to send him money like

07:03

the whole point of this stream is to see

07:05

how much money Jason can make without

07:08

having to do anything that's like the

07:09

point of the stream thank you let's go

07:13

and you could argue that Twitch

07:15

streaming has donations and you know a

07:17

bunch of other live streaming does too

07:18

but I would argue that there there's at

07:20

least some content behind that someone's

07:22

playing a video game or they're doing a

07:24

podcast live and the donations are just

07:25

a little bit extra on top it's not the

07:27

content itself seen a lot of people

07:30

wondering like wait isn't David super

07:32

generous during his Vlogs he was always

07:35

giving away cars he was paying for

07:37

people's wedding just like handing out

07:39

PlayStations to people on the street

07:40

surely he could just help Jason if he's

07:43

struggling financially

07:44

right wrong from some of Jason's podcast

07:47

Clips it seems that that is definitely

07:49

dude he's probably going to Mr Beast you

10:36

he's probably inviting you over so he

10:37

can like surprise you with a new house

10:40

he might make you do squid games for it

10:42

but you you have a chance to win a new

10:43

house maybe he'll give you a new car or

10:46

you know surprise you with his new car

10:48

like he did that one time my surprise to

10:50

you is that I'm buying myself a car I

10:52

know that was cool I will say it is

10:54

interesting that David seemingly stopped

10:56

doing the extravagant give giveaways

10:59

once you stop doing the Vlogs I wonder

11:02

what the correlation there is that's

11:04

kind of weird there was a great Tik Tok

11:06

that he sent which was like some guy

11:07

it's just the guy that has like a lot of

11:08

money and can't and can do anything all

11:10

day he's like oh Dipple is having a

11:11

party tonight and like it's literally

11:13

like things that David has said David

11:14

sent Jason a Tik Tok of a rich out of

11:17

touch guy being like Oh my god dude this

11:19

is so me dude look at this Tik Tok this

11:22

is so me that moment when you're rich

11:24

and you're partying with Diplo and

11:25

you're talking about how much you hate

11:26

Jason Nash and how poor Jason Nash is

11:29

guys comment below if you found this

11:30

relatable but if you think about it

11:32

though from 18 to like what 23 24 oh he

11:36

was he never he never Dr I don't think

11:38

he ever drank even when we would um

11:40

visit him we'd be up to like midnight

11:43

just like watching the edits just like

11:45

wow he worked hard for 5 years let the

11:48

man party dude please do not burden

11:51

David's poor gentle soul with your

11:54

financial woes just let the man play

11:56

pool and play with him for God's sake I

11:59

mean look I don't doubt that he worked

12:00

hard the the dude posted three Vlogs a

12:03

week I'm sure it was a lot of hard work

12:05

but you know who also worked hard all

12:07

everybody in his Vlogs I mean that dude

12:09

just said it himself they all stayed up

12:11

with him until midnight watching the

12:13

edits to make sure they were good this

12:15

was a group Endeavor and I know what

12:17

people say they say like well David gave

12:19

them the the opportunities you know he

12:21

didn't have to make them famous uh yeah

12:24

he kind of did that was like the whole

12:25

point of his Vlogs was his friends David

12:27

wasn't just making famous because he was

12:30

a good generous guy he was doing it

12:32

because that's what was working they

12:34

made him famous as much as he made them

12:36

famous now it's like the complete

12:38

opposite everyone's like working and

12:39

hears him just like hey what are you

12:42

doing tonight it's like a Tuesday night

12:44

everyone's working yeah man that is kind

12:47

of a crazy switch whereas before David

12:49

was working and everyone was helping him

12:52

now everyone else is working so

12:54

naturally David is partying with Diplo

12:57

naturally a lot of the conversation

12:58

around Jason's live streams has revolved

13:00

around the confusion as to why he

13:02

wouldn't just get like a normal job if

13:04

he was strapped for cash or if like the

13:06

social media thing wasn't working out

13:08

can someone make Jason Nash a

13:10

door Dash account people are wondering

13:12

why is he pursuing this career that is

13:14

like universally seen as embarrassing or

13:17

cringe rather than just getting a 9 to5

13:19

and I totally get that criticism because

13:21

I do love being a Creator I love getting

13:24

to be my own boss I love being creative

13:26

on a daily basis working with people

13:28

people that I'm really inspired by

13:30

entertaining people but if this exact

13:34

version of being a Creator stopped being

13:36

feasible would I start doing gift

13:39

streams on Tik Tok hell no and not even

13:43

necessarily because it's like

13:45

embarrassing or cringe it's just that

13:47

like what I enjoy about being a creator

13:50

that does not accomplish there's no

13:52

being creative there's no entertaining

13:55

people at a certain point you like strip

13:57

out all of the fun parts of the career

13:59

and you just have only the most

14:01

superficial parts of it left just money

14:03

and fame so no if I did if like this

14:06

YouTube channel didn't work out anymore

14:07

there's a a billion other things I would

14:10

rather do that would be more enticing to

14:12

me than like gift streaming on Twitch

14:14

but maybe Jason likes

14:16

it he doesn't look like he does but

14:19

maybe he does on the other hand I could

14:21

say that Jason is also older he's lived

14:24

a lot more life he's had a lot more

14:26

experience and his career in the

14:27

entertainment industry has has gone

14:29

through a lot more ups and downs than

14:30

mine has from what I can tell Jason has

14:32

been a stand-up comedian he's been in TV

14:35

shows he's been a podcaster a Viner and

14:39

a vlog Squad member and now a Tik Tock

14:41

live gift battler between all of those

14:43

seasons of his life I'm sure there was

14:45

downtime where he could have thought oh

14:47

maybe this isn't for me I'm going to get

14:49

up and go get a normal job and then lo

14:51

and behold the next opportunity comes

14:53

along so in some sense I do understand

14:56

if Jason's mentality is like maybe I'm

14:58

just going to do this for a little while

15:00

until I get my next thing off the ground

15:02

and I know that when I started vine

15:05

people said the same thing to me they're

15:06

like what are you doing why are you

15:07

doing Vine you know and I was like okay

15:09

this is what I'm doing and then I did

15:10

YouTube and people like why are you

15:11

doing YouTube and I feel like when

15:13

you're first to something that can

15:16

really uh pan out yeah I do get what

15:19

you're saying but also I don't know if

15:22

this is the same as Vine and YouTube

15:25

saying he's the first to this new thing

15:27

like Tik tock

15:29

gift battling is going to be the next

15:30

big thing is very worrying to me please

15:33

don't make that the next big thing guys

15:35

on top of all that there is this sort of

15:37

like gamification in your head that

15:40

happens when you're a content creator

15:41

because so much of it is like numbers

15:43

based you're always looking at your

15:44

analytics hoping your numbers go up it

15:46

becomes kind of a game in your head to

15:48

see if you can do better than you did

15:50

last month or last year because of that

15:51

I feel like in a lot of content creators

15:53

heads quitting or pursuing a different

15:55

career path is seen as like losing the

15:58

game even even if it's subconscious that

16:00

being said I don't think that's a

16:01

healthy way to look at it and I would

16:02

encourage people who are pursuing being

16:05

a Creator to find other passions that

16:08

you know if this didn't work out you

16:09

could pursue that instead because I

16:11

think just clinging to relevancy for

16:13

relevancy sake is not a good thing but

16:16

why try to guess what Jason's thinking

16:18

when someone literally asked him on his

16:20

own podcast why he doesn't just get a

16:22

job this isn't me saying this as a

16:24

negative thing I'm just totally asking

16:26

why don't I get a real job know why you

16:29

do it yeah but like no no man I know why

16:32

you do it it's pretty clear to me but um

16:36

could you tell everyone else why you do

16:39

this someone someone said that the other

16:41

day why don't you get into real estate

16:42

I'm like I hate it I don't have a real

16:44

estate granny oh yeah I forgot you have

16:46

to be born with a real estate license to

16:49

do real estate but darn Jason Nash was

16:52

born with a Tik Tok account so he has to

16:54

do that instead now look would I be on

16:56

Tik Tok live if I wasn't in like a

16:58

financial hole I don't know probably not

17:01

but also like YouTube wasn't really

17:04

working and um and I needed to find

17:07

something only fans I can't do only fans

17:10

this is such an unrelatable thought

17:12

process to most people YouTube is not

17:14

working out for him and his first

17:16

thought is only

17:18

fans Tick Tock begging people for money

17:21

it just comes off as being so set on

17:23

being an influencer that nothing else

17:24

matters to this guy listen it is what it

17:27

is it's like I was on V I was on YouTube

17:29

I was on Snapchat and now I'm doing

17:31

this don't say that now I'm doing this I

17:35

mean I do like it no man I don't think

17:37

you do not after that we all saw that so

17:40

anyway it is what it is and I have to do

17:42

it because I love it and it's my

17:46

favorite thing pH that was close hey we

17:49

can hear you what you said that was

17:51

close out loud oh no do you ever think

17:54

about going at to Door Dash or to like a

17:57

I just never thought it's like it's like

17:59

it's entertainment or nothing I don't

18:00

care what it is like I what would you

18:02

suggest I do no no I'm

18:04

no it's just

18:06

a from what I can gather from this clip

18:09

and the way they're laughing about the

18:11

prospect of being a door Dash driver or

18:13

working at Lululemon those jobs are not

18:16

even on the table for Jason I don't know

18:18

his personal finances but Jason lives in

18:20

La he owns a house he has kids he has a

18:22

wife so I feel like when he's saying

18:24

things like I don't have any other

18:25

skills what he's really saying is I

18:27

don't have any other skills that would

18:29

allow me to live the exact same life

18:31

that I'm currently living and honestly I

18:33

could understand if he really does like

18:35

the Tik Tok live streaming thing but

18:37

don't laugh at other jobs like Lululemon

18:39

or door Dash like you're so above doing

18:42

them yet you're on Tik Tok literally

18:44

asking people for money and I do totally

18:46

get that Jason has kids that he has to

18:48

support that I'm totally empathetic to

18:50

that situation it is kind of ironic that

18:53

his solution to that is to ask other

18:55

people's kids for money online but

18:57

that's neither here nor there there this

18:58

whole situation kind of reminds me of

19:00

this Tik Tok I saw about a month ago my

19:02

Roman Empire is all of those influencers

19:04

who dropped out of college or quit their

19:06

jobs moved to LA then became irrelevant

19:08

like where did they go what are they

19:09

doing now one interesting thing that I

19:11

don't know if a lot of people know is

19:12

that I feel like a lot of creators who

19:14

get into this situation can actually

19:16

leverage some of the connections they

19:18

make while they're relevant and some of

19:20

the skills that they've learned to get

19:22

jobs at like marketing agencies talent

19:25

agencies social media companies or

19:27

working for other creators behind the

19:29

scenes there's actually a lot of

19:31

opportunities out there which I would

19:32

know because my first job out of college

19:35

was working for a YouTube MCN while I

19:38

was still on Vine I graduated college

19:40

and I was worried that that wasn't going

19:42

to be a stable career so I actually got

19:43

a job working at an MCN and then I also

19:45

worked at the YouTube channel Corridor

19:47

for a while before my YouTube channel

19:48

took off so just throwing that out there

19:50

there are other career opportunities

19:52

where you get to be involved in the

19:54

Creator space even uh writing or acting

19:58

Stu stuff like that but it doesn't have

19:59

to be your operation you can just get a

20:02

stable job all right it's time to talk

20:03

about David again while everyone was

20:05

making fun of Jason for doing the Tik

20:07

Tok live streaming thing David paid him

20:09

a visit on Snapchat dude you're kind of

20:10

becoming a legend on Tik Tok now I know

20:13

not not a good yeah but I think it's fun

20:17

no man this is a great look this is

20:19

awesome multi-millionaire visits former

20:22

unpaid employee wearing a crown to make

20:24

fun of his new job David do you know why

20:29

per chance Jason has to do the Tik Tok

20:32

live streaming have you thought about

20:33

that at all during your long nights of

20:35

playing pool bye guys thanks for having

20:37

us over in your bye guys in your little

20:39

hobbit home and make fun of his house

20:41

before you leave

20:43

check great job now with all of this

20:46

talk about David and Jason I just want

20:48

to make it clear do not go and send any

20:50

hate to these people in real life

20:52

especially Jason Jason actually got

20:54

swatted midli during one of his streams

20:56

a few weeks ago which is obviously

20:58

horrible any else inside no okay hold on

21:01

let's get

21:02

together this is obviously a horrible

21:04

situation actually terrifying but I

21:06

cannot help but break a little smile

21:09

when I look over and the two people he's

21:11

gift battling are the D Brothers I don't

21:13

think there's a single funnier sight

21:15

than watching the two of these blankly

21:16

stare into the camera not understanding

21:18

what's going on also Imagine your gift

21:20

battle opponent getting swatted and he's

21:23

still crushing you dude that's got to

21:25

hurt my big takeaway from all of this is

21:27

if you you are pursuing being a content

21:30

creator I would heavily recommend being

21:32

super careful about the way you go about

21:34

it I would highly recommend not letting

21:36

your success be at all related to the

21:39

success of another influencer you don't

21:41

want to be the guy from David's Vlogs

21:44

when David stops the Vlogs also save

21:46

your money this career that we have we

21:49

don't know how long it's going to last I

21:51

mean I sort of view it as being any

21:53

other type of Entertainer you you're

21:55

only relevant for so long or like an a

21:58

aete or something you can only be in

21:59

your Prime for a certain amount of time

22:01

so save as much as you can it's really

22:03

easy to get caught up in the lifestyle

22:05

of an influencer and like partying all

22:06

the time and flying on private jets

22:08

buying expensive cars and if you can

22:10

make this career last for like 20 to 30

22:13

years that's awesome that's insane but

22:15

it's definitely not guaranteed so just

22:17

be careful all right for me for your old

22:20

pal Dan all right guys well I hope you

22:21

22:35
