The History of the Downward Spiral

i fw the end of evangelion reference in the thumbnail

I’m older than you slightly but you’ve inspired me to start though I’m very very late I think I’ll surpass you near immediately and I hope to give you the wisdoms

Those Simpsons were RED!😮

for some reason I've never finished this video until now. i already knew some of this lore from years of watching you, but it was still an amazing video as per usual. i found you from your behind the meme video and ive watched you since, and ill continue to watch whatever you put out

you've always been one of my favorite creators 🎉

I haven’t heard someone say “poop” this much since I was 8 in the year 1999. A+ amazing video.

The Uncredibles was really such a banger

no one 'respects' Bill, homie

It took me 20 minutes of internal screaming to figure out the Interviewer is Rusty Cage.

Man, I came across your channel a week ago and I’m obsessed. You’re a fantastic story teller, journalist and researcher. Keep it up dude.

Holy shit. I just started watching a couple years ago but this makes me wish I would have discovered you sooner.

I clicked this video solely for the l4d animation thumbnail

Everyone wants to hold the creator accountable, but they always avoid the one creator that can hold their audience accountable. This is the true downside of parasocial relationships, and it is also the only thing that can break the barrier between creator and viewer.

Digital Graffiti is such a perfect way of describing YTP, I might use that as a metaphor.

Telling your audience to get fkd is better than apologising to them.

Not me thinking this was gonna be about nine inch nails

I have watched you for over 6 years dude - I am glad you are still around

Downward spiral downward spiral downward spiral downward spiral downward spiral downward spiral downward spiral downward spiral downward spiral.

Good vid keep up the great d worl

It’s crazy that I recently found this channel. I’ve been binging these videos. And I just now realize this is the same channel that did the uncredibles vid I saw years ago and had completely forgotten about.

Massa being the outro beat is too perfect

"Broadcast Yourself" was the slogan of this website a long time ago. The content is what YOU wanted to make. Yes, you're but one guy but you, you are genuine. Don't forget that like many others have done.

you're awesome

This may be an unoriginal comment, but I feel deeply compelled to write it. EmpLemon is probably the greatest creator on this site. Every video of his I watch leaves me in a state of deep reflection on life in general. I feel substantially inspired to be creative and produce works for myself. I've dealt with neurodivergence my whole life. This usually leads to me feeling burntout from work I have had to do or an intense feeling of shyness surrounding what other people think about me. While I can never erase my neurodivergence, I feel I am coming to a point in my life where I don't have to care so much about what others think of me and I can express myself in any way. I am usually a lurker; this is my first ever comment on a video. I want to take things to another level and make videos and do other works. I am in the process of writing a book as I type this and will probably write more after that, regardless how audiences like my work. I know this comment will probably be lost among the thousands of other, but I want to share my deepest gratitude with EmpLemon for choosing to stay on his path no matter how hard it seemed. I am inspired to do the same. I want to thank each and every person who took the time to read all of my rambling. I wish you all wonderful success

this video is beautiful

So like do they live together?

😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤

DO FRYING DORY NOW

Evangelion

I’m also rather disappointed how you seemingly have gone back on what you said and what your personal stances were/are, back in 2017 and 18, as just you “bitching”.


I genuinely believed that you were sincere in what you were saying, But you decide to wave it off as a phase? That doesn’t make any sense.

Ok, but what is the downwards spiral?

From the bottom of my heart, as a longtime fan from your early YTP days (who also heavily enjoys your current content,) this was a wonderful watch.

I watched this for 25 minutes, waiting for something unexpected to happen, before realising it's just a guy rambling about his past.

I hope it doenst take another 12 years before we have a good retrospective and sit down talk

Around the 30 minute mark I couldn't help but laugh at the comments hating you for making the Simpsons green. That's just hysterical dude. 🤣

Everest discrepancy first vid I watched from you just yesterday cool
