I've enjoyed watching you and laughing with you and mostly at your laugh. You realy are one of the most entertaining KZreadrs I watch. Keep going when you can. Good luck with what ever you do. Glyn. from England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Come over here and build houses god knows we need skilled workers

It's been so entertaining and fun watching you react alan. It's probably a good time to take a break from this grind. I'm with another of your followers, in saying your reaction to Rising Damp is my absolute favourite, The, i know where the Himalaya's are but ive never been up em line, that was totally priceless. Best wishes to you and your family from this side of the pond, South Wales.👍

Thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you over the last 2 years Alan and enjoyed all the laughs with you , it’s been obvious for a few months you’ve not been fulfilled or happy and life’s too short man . Who knows what the future will bring but you’ve gotta be happy whatever your doing man , so very good luck to you and hope to see you in here from time to time maybe 🙏 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I've never commented much but thanks for all your work here, I didn't realise how much effort you have had to put into it. Hope you do well whatever you do in the future. All the best from Dudley W. Midlands.

KZread do themselves no favours at all. I wouldn't be surprised to see more and more people just telling them to shove it.

Still love you Alan , good for you mate- hope the job goes well , stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

hang in there

Best wishes, and much love to you Alan! Congrats on the new job! Love & Light my friend!

Hey, you just do whatever you need to stay sane and happy my friend. Whenever I'm feeling down I simply re-watch "I know where the Himalayas are, but I've never been up em!"

I've been a subscriber for years now mate, you're definitely the best reaction channel I enjoy watching. Take care and don't stress it bro, we aren't gonna jump ship - you're a solid, genuine person and by osmosis I would hope to be right in saying your subscribers have those qualities too. So by definition we will be loyal to you, especially if life is getting on top of you sometimes. I used to get told off by people who cared about me to STOP putting so much pressure on myself; so I'm passing it on, go easy on yourself brah! Don't force things, just live life how you prefer and things always sort themselves out. Sending you love bro ❤

KZread has turned into this big money game. Everyone is fighting to get viewership so they can get paid, but because everyone is doing it, it counteracts against everyone and turns into a burnout eventually. I get that people have found a way to make money off of KZread and that's fine, but I also think we need to go back to the days when it wasn't about the money, it was about doing what we love regardless of anything else. KZread: Broadcast Yourself It used to be a place to show off what you're passionate about, and it needs to go back to that, because the KZread of today is a mess at times. I wish you all the luck in your endeavours and think you have made the right choice to find funding in other sources and to take a break, you deserve it. Never give up when things get tough! Glad to see you are sticking around, and I'll keep watching!

Sorry to hear it stopped being fun for you, Alan. Rest assured it was always fun watching your content. Hope you have a good break. Good luck in your new job. And will keep an eye out for any future uploads you make.

No need to be so hard on yourself, we all need a break from time to time and i fully understand. I will still be here and always look forward to your videos whenever they come out. Take care of yourself 😀🤣🥰❤

Best of luck with the new job. A bit of time to just be you for a change without the pressures of having to upload, hope people will see your content, the copyright crap etc etc etc so hopefully you can enjoy being away from it for however long that takes. Thanks for everything 😎

Congratulations on new job EB. Stay safe bud, say hello to mrsEB and family for me

Don't be gone long you keep me going with your laughing at the thing's you watch you are a great bloke I wish you All the best from Newcastle upon Tyne England.

As the saying goes, a change is as good as a rest. I wish you luck in your new job, and hopefully you'll be back soon.

A change is as good as a rest. Plus in a different role you'll be meeting new people and hopefully friends. Good luck to you.

Honestly love your channel mate, been a subscriber for a long, long time. Really helped in ways I can’t describe. You do what you need to do for you. I, and many others want nothing but the best for you & yours. We’re still going to be here for your future uploads no matter how infrequent they may be. Best of luck with everything mate I really wish you well.

Good luck with your new job brother some times you need to look after no1, best wishes from the uk fella.

Good luck mate....hope the job goes well....we are still here for you Al....Best wishes to you and family.

Good luck with everything moving forward Alan. ❤

Always look forward to your video's you get British humour which is probably our default view of life. We see the humour in almost everything especially as people have become so 'woke'. To be able to enjoy a show or piece of live performance as you do it does make me smile to hear your great burst of laughter, you also see the underlying pathos, tragedy and irony inherent in our humour. Like you i have had a big break in my career, 20+yr postie now been laid of for 14 month's with a degenerative spinal condition which affects my mobility i.e cant walk 25yrds. Now that's irony. All the best Alan your the best.

Take care bud and have a nice break/adjustment. Save a beard, Shave a beaver!

Good luck with your new job.❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿x

I've seen it in you my man. Comparing your older videos and more recent ones, the pain is there to see. I think this is a good move for you. Take care and be happy .

Good luck Alan have enjoyed your content hope it all goes well xxx

True honesty...cheers...E...

Good luck with everything, will wait until you get your mojo back, all is good. Be happy ✨️🌟

Hey man congrats on the new job brother! Stay strong bro stay legendary. Looking forward to the content you do put out when you do. We shall talk soon man.

Good luck in all that you do, you've had the best channel ever.x

Keep your chin up man. As Dory says "Just keep swimming" you will make it to the other side of the shit

best wishes to you in your new job. x Hopefully whether you react to them or watch in your personal time, you get a chance to see the best shows UK, currently and in the past had to offer :) Be happy bro. x

Aw I’m going to miss your infectious laugh! But I will look out for any small thing you do. I always go through my subscriber list to look for new videos, I don’t rely on notifications. I don’t know how other subscribers do it. My views on my crochet channels have gone down too.

I think youtubers need to realise that a lot of them blew up during covid because everyone was at home bored, people are now back at work and living their life again, so they will only have time to watch limited videos compared with when they were doing nothing during covid, good luck in your new job and hopefully you will be able to get some joy out of watching videos again now that you are not financially reliant on it.

Yeah you should be excited. KZread is a very fickle thing. Do something that you aren't reliant on people giving you money who will disappear when you don't say things they like. The KZread bubble is just that. It's something some people have success with for a while. While they're what Google wants to push. Until it all goes south. Make content because you want to make content. Not because you feel you HAVE to make content. KZread isn't really a job other than for people who fake hunting ghosts or make shorts about cats being cute. Seems like a real job will make you happier. Go with it.

I'll say this, a health scare precipitated me taking the same work ethic I had for a regular job to KZread. My channel is part of the top like 3%. Only the top 3% hit 100k out of the billions of channels. Only the top .5% of that hit a million so regardless I'm proud.

I see no reason for people to leave. Even if videos are rarely uploaded ehat harm does it do to these people if they stay a subscribe? Nothing in my opinion. I watched a lot of JayveeTV reaction videos though he hasn't uploaded anything in ages. But I didn't unsubscribe I hang around and if does post another video then great.

Why do you think youtube has moved the goalposts,have they had it too good ,have youtube got competition, I've heard of many youtube content creators have had plenty of obstacles in there way.

you just need to get you someone to edit for you!
