idk if we'll ever know exactly why they broke up, idk if Megan even knows fully
I have a educated guess, I'll spare posting
https://www.alicemoran.com/
lol Alice's site expired
Justin is still around, streaming on Twitch
his personal life has been a bit bumpy, but overall he's doing good
everyone else is gone
Justin is doing good as far as internet people go
granted, most of their lives are going just fine or they're better off
but they're not online
getting in the the NL crew was good for him
Pause works at a Costco as a forklift operator
idk why I find that so funny and always bring it up
but it tickles me for some reason
he started a streaming group that failed, and he cut down on streaming when his kid was born
I think it was kind of a case where he thought he was bigger than he was, a couple ventures failed, and he decided to just hang it up
but he was of the generation that thought that way, ride the wave then leave the internet when its over
which I think anyone under 30 will think is an insane perspective (I sure do)
but for pre-internet people, I don't think they view their online life as being an extension of their lives
Roamin has a kid too, if you didn't hear
he's having fun with that
DB went back to school, came back to streaming for a couple weeks, and then bounced
didn't really seem into it, and tbf he was mostly into the community aspect of it, never the money, the art/content, or being famous part
I'm less anti-Rob than most people here, I think he's an asshole and wronged people in his life obviously
but I'm never going to begrudge someone for hanging out with someone they used to be friends with
I doubt Pause thinks about that kind of stuff too much
Rob was mad at Pause a couple years ago, because Rob and him were doing a DvZ thing together, views were abysmal so Pause topped uploading his perspective
and that got Rob mad, and he ended the series (well at first he edited Pauses' videos for him, then canceled it)

Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 which I think anyone under 30 will think is an insane perspective (I sure do)
You sure though? Idk I kinda think it makes sense
Zyton, correct me if I'm wrong, aren't you 30?
No lol, I am 27!!
But like sure the biggest content creators like Logan Paul or Mr Beast or whoever can go forever or until they get bored
ah ok, I thought you were a year or two older
But if you're a pauseunpause, you're going to have your moment in the sun, then walking away from it imo seems like a better idea than trying to hang on to it and lose a bunch of money and time of your life
I just think for people who've done that generally things have ended up better for them
maybe I could have said it better
it's less about the content creation piece (that obviously can't continue forever and we've all seen people trying to hold on for too long)
and more the leaving the internet piece
I think there's a cutoff, somewhere around being born before/after ~1995
whether you can divorce your life from the internet or not
Hmm, ok ok, yeah, since I feel like as a youtuber you can make a lot of money for a couple of years, but it's generally better to save that money and have some extra for when you get a regular job 10 years later than to try and turn it into something bigger and waste your money etc
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I think there's a cutoff, somewhere around being born before/after ~1995
Most people say 97 is the cutoff year for millenial zoomer right which I think isn't the stupidest thing ever
and I agree on the YouTube piece, be smart with your money and coast with a real job later in life

What generation do you consider yourself Zyton?
Probably millennial, but growing up the grade under ours always felt very different from us sort of, so the idea of our year being the last of the millennials sort of adds up with that
But I also sort of don't buy into generational theory
I think it's similar to MBTI by making some good points but ultimately being psuedo science

I'm also 27, and am 100% throwing my lot in with Gen Z, had the exact opposite experience in school which is funny
being the youngest in every one of my classes
and I like the cohort concept, obv not some strict axiom or anything
but I think having a mindset about your place among your peers is probably generally good
though cohorts spanning 15 years stretches the bounds of reasonable
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak 27!! is a huge number
Yes, I have seen planets form and evaporate, galaxies collide, vast star empies destroy themselves in massive wars with unimaginablely terrifying weapons and wonders beyond your imagination

Ye, I suppose it's likely more accurate than just viewing people by decade like most people used to, ie 90s kids 80s kids etc. But the fact that the generational theory stuff has theory and conplexity to it I also think makes people take it too seriously, so I kind of prefer just viewing people by decade born, since it's so obviosly surface level nobody takes it too seriously
I hate it when people follow the zoomer boomer stuff religiously the same way mbti people do, then recognise mbti as psudeo science but then turn around with their gen theory and just go wdym??
For personality stuff, I've sort of began creating categories with names for groups in my own head, to see where everyone fits in among peers I suppose
Though I'd like to do research sometime on the 16 dimensional personality model that the big 5 was derived from, I think it could be a good lens to view stuff through
I looked up cohort on wikipedia btw
Im under 30 and online life is like delusional talk to me. Literally learned that everything online is fake/troll and that’s how I view it. Good to go online for a few laughs and information, other than that would rather do something else than just be “online.”

Online also includes like instagram and snapchat etc though
Don’t use either of those either, I don’t have a social media presence. Discord I randomly use for various games, then quit it for a few years. Probably the most I’ve talked is in this server.
