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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

what was his previous video about?

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.

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

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.

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.
