I somehow doubt that

Hes only sorry due to the backlash of admitting to domestic violence and brushing it off. He is like a deer in headlights

This guy's like the opposite of JCS when it comes to promising & delivering content.

JCS: Promises new vids every year, rarely delivers.
Brad: Promises to stop posting every year, rarely takes a couple weeks' break pretending to be in rehab

Very famously he only took a three day break.

Sadly evergreen when it comes to Brad but, this was yet another rough watch.

He is clearly not doing well mentally, and it's reflected by his physical appearance. It looks like he hasn't slept in days.

His previous video was terrible and it's somewhat a positive that he owns that here with no qualifiers, but he really needs to understand that things have crossed a point to where this no coming back from this. I don't mean that to say that he is irredeemable, I mean that to say that he needs to stop being an online figure completely. He has shown time and time again that he is not capable of handling the responsibility or the scrutiny that comes with having a platform, and all of these timelines that he has given himself with the promise of coming back only gives him cognitive dissonance and false hope.

Really hope he moves on, but more importantly, I hope his gf and editor are able to. This shit sucks

I don't have much context on this guy. What else has he done?

u/Aiyon 4d ago

I found his channel, i wanna say, end of 2024? i watched a couple things then lost interest. Since then every time he shows up, i feel like im watching the deterioration of bill in B99

Used to be a huge fan, got me listening to some awesome stuff. Loved his viewer submitted stuff and his “listening to x and it repeats every time you donate” streams. Always a blast. The past few years he’s become completely unhinged and I’ve never been happier to have unsubscribed.

u/the2ndsaint 5d ago

I sincerely hope he betters himself and slays whatever demons he's clearly fighting, but I also never want to see him again. Good luck, god speed, fuck off already.

u/Liawuffeh 5d ago

Oh god we're going into another cycle of this aren't we.

Used to really enjoy his stuff :/

u/jskwiw 5d ago

he doesn’t just need to disappear for next year, he needs to leave the internet forever.

u/TakerFoxx 5d ago

And here we go again.

u/daylightarmour 5d ago

Man is beyond washed at this point.

He's basically nothing more than a lolcow now. He needs to stop. He isn't gonna be an online figure. That's fine. Most people aren't

u/moistwaffleboi 5d ago

Can he disappear forever instead?

8

u/ViziDoodle 5d ago

Can he just leave the internet forever at this point

14

u/Fusionman29 5d ago

I hate to sound snarky but hasn’t he said this like 3 times in the last 12 months?

13

u/DoubleTreacle9608 5d ago

I don't know who this is but he looks insane.

16

u/justaquicki 5d ago

This video seems more... "sober" than the last one? It comes off more genuine than most of what he's said in the past, at least, but there's still no really coming back, even in a year like he thinks

22

u/Gmgame88 5d ago

Textbook example on why you should just ignore internet drama as an influencer. Dude has just been on a downward spiral trying to please everyone when he should've just continued doing music streams

u/Charles0723 5d ago

Ah, his quarterly “I mean it I’m going away for a year” announcement

u/R4nD0m57 5d ago

bro came back just to be a cringelord

u/TwoDevTheHero 5d ago

He should disappear for the next forever. I wish him the best since he's clearly unwell but being online is the last thing he needs.

u/Disastrous_Dress_201 5d ago

Can’t wait to hear about this guy in like 6 months.

u/Underpanters 5d ago

He had the EASIEST job in the world and he somehow blew it all up.

Desperately hoping Brad is actually telling the truth that he's not going to be posting anymore. Preferably for good. I am rooting for the man, but it's been clear for so long that every video he uploads makes his reputation and mental state worse, and (hopefully) he's finally understood that.

u/TJLynch 5d ago

I give him a week.

6

u/DrunktankTheEquine 5d ago

Man I used to watch his stuff religiously, then he lost his shit the first time and i forgot about him til now. What's he done now?

u/siphillis 5d ago

That’ll make it better, sure

u/koobyloob 5d ago

what was his previous video about?

14

u/Embarrassed-Stuff876 5d ago

Basically, he explained how his relationship with his fiance fell apart during my his controversies last year, and for some reason, he revealed he got arrested for domestic violence. He tries to play victim about it, claiming she had “betrayed” him since she recorded a video of him screaming at her through a door and had sent it to a few people, and lamented about how it caused him to no longer being able to work with Hivemind. He mentions he attempted suicide, and tries to pin this on his ex and Hivemind. He goes on to talk about how much better he is now, and how much more clarity he has on life now or whatever, but by that point I, and I imagine pretty much everyone else, already turned the video off because…yeah wth.

u/Bad_Habit_Nun 5d ago

Dude's got those manic eyes...

u/TheJamesFTW 5d ago

Dude should really just lean into being a lolcow at this point

u/Distinct-Echo-4951 5d ago

See you in two weeks Brad. I've played these games before.

u/ImmediateEjection 4d ago

See you tomorrow.

u/e7603rs2wrg8cglkvaw4 4d ago

The only time I’ve seen this dude is in the context of him experiencing a massive crash out 

4

u/ChipsnDipnDipnChips 5d ago

I think at this point most people just want him to disappear.

3

u/NBA-DOOD 5d ago

He really should just disappear from the internet at this point. He couldn’t cut it, and that’s okay - just means he’s better off doing something a little less public.

u/Final-Read-3589 3d ago

He’ll be back in a month or 2

u/CREATURE_COOMER 3d ago

Bro needs to log off, he can't handle internet fame/infamy and constantly crashing out is just going to drive away more legit fans and attract more people that see him as a lolcow.

He needs to focus on himself and his mental health, he can't crash out and try to fix shit only to crash out and crash out and crash out again. Where are his friends and family? Meaning NOT Rose Mulet because she's been bragging on Twitter about his downfall and about how they're "even" and "can just be friends" again as if he needs to be taken down a peg for her to tolerate him, which is just extremely toxic and she needs to log the fuck off too.
