I think one of the reasons on why your views dropped is not because of the quality of your videos and is not by any means your fault, but because most of us who watched you back then have grown up. we now have less time for youtube due to work, more responsibility in general and less time for this, honestly.

Ohhh damn! Forgot about this guy. I remember members of the Brit crew constantly directing homophobic jokes at him. The nostalgia!

I’m so glad I grew alongside the “Brit Crew” and not all these hype house tiktokers that are such terrible influences. Your content along with all the others and all the collabs in between really provided great entertainment for me when I was a teen. I loved watching this. I think your career in men’s fashion is perfect for you and I always love seeing more content from you and life updates! Your fans are here and we will stick by you!

I wish you could tell us what happened to Martha? Where is she?

Just wanted to say that even when I started getting busier and not watching your videos, you and the ‘Brit Crew’ will always be a staple part of my growing up. Thanks for all the guidance and life lessons you all taught me. ❤️❤️

You're honesty and level of respect is commendable! I've watched you since i was like 13 (now 22) thank you for being such a lovely person and positive role model x

“I don’t need someone. I want someone.” 👏🏼

One of the most open question videos I’ve seen! I dipped my toe into the KZread world about 8/9 years ago and met all of the “Brit crew” and big KZreadrs at a Halloween party. It’s always stuck in my head how genuinely lovely you were. No one else went out of your way to ensure that those of us who were new to it all felt seen and welcomed. You were so kind. I still remember that and have always thought highly of you!

I feel like I’m 16 again watching this. It was a much needed trip down memory lane. 🥰 I’m almost 23 now and you all were such a big part of my teenage.

When you were talking about people who you no longer need in your life, that hit me so hard! I have always been the same way I have no desire to have the last word or any closure. Once it has gotten to that point, I just want to move on without them. I have never seen anyone who felt the same haha great video, Jim!

Your comment about cutting people off if they cross a line really resonates with me - it's an absolute must if you want to keep your inner peace. Such a good honest video! 🙌🏼

Found you through my daughter about 5yrs ago and I'm still watching 🤣 you wrote back to one of her letters with "say hi to your mum for me" and it made my day. The old KZread days were fun, but everyone moves and grows. Loved this video x

It's so nice to hear from an adult behaving like an adult, talking about what is real... My kids are now old enough to be interested in KZread and some of the ridiculously over the top stuff creators are doing now makes me worried for what impression my kds are getting of other people's lives. Thanks Jim and we're happy you are happy! x

This makes me feel very nostalgic as well. I guess like a lot of others, I just grew out of KZread over time and didn't consume it that much anymore after finishing school. Still you and the other British KZreadrs were such a big part of my teenage years! Lots of love xx

I’ve been watching Jim since his start on youtube and it’s soooo nice to see that he’s still so honest and humble. Love that

Oh I love the honesty I'm here for it. Feels great to watch someone and not feel like they're trying to lose you and make you forget the initial question. Loooove it.

The ‘Brit crew’ was such a big part of my childhood and I will always be thankful for the laughs and comfort all those videos brought me 🤍

I haven’t watched you for years Jim but I truly loved this. To see how much you’ve grown and flourished, so happy for you. Hope to watch more of you in future now

This brought so many nostalgic memories: Been watching your channel and the Brit Crew, it’s awesome to see how you all have grown and despite the distance you have a unique bond with them. Thanks for your openness and vulnerability, glad to hear/see that you’re happy, wishing best, stay safe and God bless you 🙏

That crew was a huge part of my childhood/early adult life! Thank you for being so candid about what life is like for you now, anyone our generation can certainly understand some of the "growing up" sentiments. I'm so so happy to see you doing well :)

I will always be happy to keep supporting and following you whilst you’re genuinely being YOU! It’s sad how rare that is now, so thank you !!

“When my line is crossed, you are dead to me,” and I have never felt more seen 100%!

Jim I’ve followed you for years and you’ve always had such a refreshing genuineness. I remember when you launched your office supplies and you literally said “I know this won’t last forever and I would like to have something to physically hold of this chapter” or something along that line. Thanks for being a good role model in so many ways in this online space!

i haven’t watched one of your videos in a while and then suddenly this came on my recommended. thank you so much for everything you have done in my life. i was 11 when i first started watching you and ‘the brit crew’ and now i’m nearly 18. i grew up watching you all and i have really missed watching you. thank you for everything you do and please know how much you mean to so many people x

I cannot explain how much you and your crew helped me during my teenage years. I didn’t know it then but now looking back you guys were one of the only outlets I had during some of my darkest times. Thank you, Jim. xx

Thankyou for your candid honesty! No one actually answers questions they’ve avoided properly in these videos, so well done. Nice to have you back

Regarding the role model and young audience thing, I am absolutely glad that when I was a young teen I grew up watching you and Zoe, Joe, Alfie, Marcus, Tyler, Casper, Troye etc. and not some other KZreadrs that I watched in my later teens.

You've always been very 'real' Jim - thank you for your honesty and openness, hope you and Sarah and your families stay well!

I love how honest you are. It’s refreshing to hear your honesty and not the bull shit you’re suppose to say, to please others. I’m also like you with cutting people off 👊🏼. Stay strong dude, you’ve got this! 🙌🏼

This video is no nostalgic. So many good moments we (you and us audience) have spent in the past years. I love your honesty, just pure thoughts and soul in it. Love you always ❤️

This was the perfect video to stumble on after years since watching your videos. What an emotionally mature inspiring adult you seem to have grown into. It’s so nice to hear that you still feel connected to the Brit crew

Love the raw and open nature of this video. Been following since the beginning and I love the honesty and how you've kept true to yourself. Wishing you all the best in all you do

I’ve been watching your videos for years and I really love how down to earth and amazing person you are, thank you for talking to us, I’m sure your going to do more amazing things in the future 😊💕

After watching over so many years, I’m so glad to see you are happy and doing well. Wishing you only the best. :)

Jim! Love that you mentioned you see a therapist, and how often. I do too, at about the same frequency, and am always trying to encourage other people to normalise it and try it out. This video was wonderfully honest, it felt like a real chat from you to me x

I stumbled across this video because every so often I like to go back and see what the people I watched from the very beginning are doing. You have not changed even a little bit, your content is different now, but you’re just as charismatic and engaging to watch as you were when you first started. It makes me extremely happy that you’ve stayed true to who you are and how you operate :)

all these years & im still subscribed to you! i watch your videos every now & then.. i’m glad to see you doing well in your life🤍 this is super nostalgic

I love how honest and open you are about your mental health. You’re a great role model and it’s lovely to see you back!

Been watching your videos for a LOOOONG time and it’s so nice to see you reflect back on how you have grown as a person and where you are totally content in your life. It’s lovely to see well done x

I remember finding you the first time around 2012! It’s nice that you are being very honest in this video. Thank you for being a huge part of my childhood!

The nostalgia this gave me it proper feels and reminds me of the golden age of KZread 2013-2015 was just a different time. Good for you for making this it feels very real and genuine ☺️

i've been watching you ever since I was a teen & now that I'm 25 it makes me happy that you're still posting content! Thank you for being honest, keep posting whatever makes you happy & wishing you & Sarah all the love your way! 💕

I think we all needed this Jim chapman update🥺 glad you are doing well and thank you for being apart of my growing up xx

At 29 I haven't watched any of your videos in absolutely years I think alot of those who watched yourself and the Brit crew kind of grew up and watched less but it brings back such great memories of watching you all. It's as if us as viewers are old friends that grew up and apart just as the Brit crew did. Great to see your doing well still.

It's been about 5 years since I watched you , it's good to see that you have done so well in your life outside of KZread.

I used to watch you (& most of the rest of the crew) when I was in high school & was suffering so badly mentally. It’s insane how I would spend hours at night laughing or feeling happier. It’s lovely to see you’re doing well, wish you well & thank you for all the funny videos and things that made me feel something other than the terrible stuff.

What a refreshing video. Honesty is hard to find on KZread now. As someone who grew up with the Brit Crew, you have all stayed such wonderful humans. Thank you for the video and wish you the best, Jim.

You are so real. I remember watching the group and never really connecting to you but that has changed completely. Definitely one of the most honest videos I’ve seen and you’re really real. So I thank you for it. You should definitely do another one of these videos as I’m sure there’s more questions. As I said, thank you.

I haven’t watched you for such a long time but I always loved how honest and frank you were. Glad to see you’re doing well xx

fun fact: when I was younger you (and Grace Helbig) were the most impactful you tuber for me. I realised I could work hard, be proud, be stylish and be funny while being kind. forever grateful for that xx

You guys were the only people I used to watch back in the day, and now 6 later I’m still watching many of you and love it! Thank you for the amazing content I notice all the hard work 🤗

He was so honest, you can clearly see how uncomfortable he was answering but for him to answer them as honest as he does, simply needs an applaud 👏🏽👏🏽

I feel like I’m watching an older brother with this! Good to see you again Jim and thanks for answering so honestly. Looking forward to seeing more content from you 😊

Thank you for being so open, I have always enjoyed your videos, they are definately a breathe of fresh air! Take good care of yourself Jim.

As soon as you mentioned the Brit crew it just made me so emotional I miss it so much even if I wasn’t even there! I was around 11-12 I feel when I was watching every upload of anyone together I’m now 18 and still has a place in my heart x

It’s nice to see a KZreadr interacting with their subscribers, 90% of comments Jim has replied to and I enjoy that 😊

This is like a nostalgic video for me as I used to watch a lot of the youtubers you mentioned, casually. But not for a while or at least not as often by far. It felt cathartic for me too by the end. It's nice to check in and see how everyone is doing all these years later. It's funny how much has changed that I hadn't realised, but so nice to see the growth that comes from that.

That was a really nice chat. And, I commend you for just answering the questions and not apologizing for feelings. It is a hard time for everyone...I am in the US, you are in the UK and I know there are people all over struggling. We all just need to be gentle with ourselves. OK, I digress. You answers were honest and more than I've seen of you and that is great...and happy that you felt comfortable sharing! Blessings and health to you and yours.

I'm from Argentina and I grew up with your videos and all the videos from the crew, and even there are some days when I just sit and watch some of the oldest videos from you and the crew ... I grew up with the English lenguage thanks to you too

Hey Capricorn! Go love that girl, Sarah... she should never have to feel that you don't or don't want to.. because you prefer more time in isolation. Totally understand your sentiments and how you love the oasis of solitude.. though I also know how someone in love with you can feel like they're with you but feel you are so distant from them. Very few can understand how Capricorns love to love.. it can be all consuming love.. and other times some feel its cold and distant. I'm sure you know the right balance..

I must say, I've not watched Jim for probably 5 years now but this video has made me go dowm a rabbit hole love it

Dear god this video makes me feel so old. I’ve been around since the beginning, I remember your being all awkward and barely featuring in your sisters/tanyas videos. Being excited by your own channel. Watching your wedding, your career. Growing apart because life moves on. Then this. A little reminder. A snippet of the past. Still authentically you. You feel familiar if that makes sense. Nice to be reminded of the good old days.

I really appreciate the brutal honesty in this video! I miss watching your videos and I will definitely go back and binge all your recent videos.

Love how honest this is. Slight nostalgia here.. Jim is so genuine. Very open. As for answering questions about past relationships, this has been answered. Why do people want to know the nitty gritty. People drift apart. No need to keep bringing it up for questioning. For the other party, its got to be really uncomfortable. Plus, Jim has a fiancé. Thats just plain rude to ask about his other relationships. 🤷‍♀️

wow.. I can't believe that it's been 7-8years since I discovered your channel and I love this honest video.. it's like catching up with an old friend

Hey Jim, I’ve been watching you for a decade and this is the best video you’ve ever made - really appreciate your honesty !!!!

I just love jim so much. Wisest, kindest being ❤️

Is it weird that even back in the Brit crew days I thought of you as having dad vibes and I get it even more so now 😂 you just give off such warm lovely dad vibes 😂

I must admit I haven’t watched much of the British KZread crew in recent years but you guys never fail to bring a smile to my face even if it’s a simple Instagram photo. Maybe it’s time to go binge watch some old videos and feel the nostalgia! Thanks for being such a big part of my teen years. I’m pretty sure I was about 13-14 when I started watching you guys and now I’m 21

I always come back to watching your videos because you are so real and genuine in your work. Good on ya!

This was such an honest video and I loved walking down the memory lane with you. I just realised you are the only one from "the brit crew" I still actively follow on sm or watch videos from. I feel like I have grown up with you, being similar age as you are. Thank you for the video, it was good!

I wish all the uk youtubers that started at the same time as you were as honest as you when it comes to questions like this.. its kinda refreshing. I feel like a lot of them avoid a lot or “play” us lmao

It’s been a long while since I’ve watched a video from you. And being here right now feels like catching up with a long lost friend. Oh, how I’ve missed you, Jim! All love from the Philippines! 🇵🇭💕

idk why but i instantly started crying when i saw your post on instagram, so crazy to think big of a part you all once were in my life and how that just disappeared over time, i wish things could’ve stayed like that forever 😪❤️

Congrats on your engagement, Sarah seems like a sweetheart. Sadly I lost an older relative to Covid. The part that people don't discuss enough is the suffering. My poor cousin (more like an aunt because of her age) spent the last month of her life feeling like someone was sitting on her chest squeezing the life out of her. Tragically no one could visit and only two of her kids could attend the funeral. Everybody- Please wear a mask and keep your distance. Life is precious and fragile. We have to take care of one another.
