In this informal vlog, the creator reacts to a video he scheduled to publish six months earlier. He explains the experiment of scheduling videos for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years ahead, noting that the 6‑month video has just gone public while the others remain unpublished. Throughout the reaction he compares his current channel metrics (8 K subscribers, 1.8 M views) to the numbers shown in the old clip, remarks on the growth to about 20 K subs, and jokes about future subscriber goals. He comments on production mishaps (tangled earbuds, shaky handheld footage) and mentions upgrading to an iPhone 6s for better stabilization. The vlog also includes personal anecdotes: he was supposed to study for a history test, ended up making videos, scored an 82 (a B), and reflects on his study habits. He addresses “future me” with hopes of continued YouTube activity, higher subscriber counts, and mentions a separate reaction channel where he reviews other creators’ first videos. The overall tone is casual, self‑deprecating, and optimistic about a long‑term YouTube career.
Chapters
What's up guys, a while ago my mom sent me to my room to study for a history test, and instead of studying for that history test, I made 4 videos. I scheduled uploaded a video for 10 years in the future, 5 years in the future, 1 year in the future, and then 6 months in the future. And so far my 6-month video, as we're about to react to, went public, and we still have the other 3 we're waiting for. 9 and a half more years till my 10-year video goes up. That's gonna be crazy. Crazy— what? Stutter? Anyways, um, the description of this video says, "Dear future me, please do not be dead." And I'm not dead, so I accomplished that goal. And yeah, I haven't seen this video in 6 months. I watched like a start of it, but I stopped because I knew I'd want to react to it. So, uh, let me just— this is my Jinx potion. Let me just transform into Jinx real quick. All right, I am now in jinx mode. Let's get into reacting.
So you might be wondering, what the heck is—
and that was not the beginning of the video. At the time I'm— holy crap, do you see that? I have 8,000 subscribers and only 1.8 million views. Holy crap. Wow, that was a long time ago. In this video, I have 8,000 subscribers and 1.8 million views, so So whenever you see this, compare these numbers to whatever I have when you watch this.
So you might be wondering, what the heck is this?
Wow, okay, so for starters, I just threw my earbud out of my ear and, uh, yeah, now it's all tangled up. Screw my life. I look like an idiot. Why, why, why did I do this? I—
wow.
Honestly, I'll probably forget about this. That's such bad quality. I look like an idiot.
Shaking a lot. Sorry, my hands shake.
Yeah, no one cares.
All right, let's set this down.
Why, why did I not cut this out? I don't know. Why did I feel the need to include this in the video? I have no idea. And by the way, look at that background and look at my background now. Uh, that was so long ago. Holy crap, I redid my room, uh, since the time I made this.
Oh, did that fix it? Yeah. So you might be wondering, what are you watching? And, um, I just got a random spark of motivation to make a video and schedule upload it 6 months later. So, uh, yeah, I'm making this video right now and I have 8K subs. Hopefully in 6 months I don't still have 8K subs. And, uh, yeah, I'm just gonna schedule upload this video for 6 months down the road, and then after this I'm gonna schedule upload a video for a year, and then 5 years, and then a decade. Hopefully, dude, if I'm still doing YouTube in a decade, that'd be crazy.
In a decade?
Ah, I, I'm I don't know.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do YouTube till I die, just unless something happens to the site. I'm pretty sure, to be honest.
Easy. But, uh, yeah, what, what would I want to say to me in 6 months? Um, hopefully you're still uploading daily. Uh, let's see, 6 months. Hopefully you have at least 15,000 subscribers, future me. Uh, that'd be embarrassing if I don't. Then you guys are gonna like, um, yeah, um Yeah, uh, as of right now I'm enjoying YouTube. Hopefully I still—
again, why I didn't cut these parts out, I don't know.
Future me still enjoys it, and I don't know, I'd be crazy if I had some ridiculous amount of subscribers like 20K or something.
That's ironic how I made this 6 months ago and I said that, and now I do have 20K.
In 6 months. But that's the video. I don't have— by the way, I ordered an iPhone 6s which has better stabilization because if I try to hold this up, see how it shakes a lot? iPhone 6s Plus won't have that and it'll be in better quality. But, uh, good for you. Hey, future me, uh, you'll probably forget about this video and be like, what the heck is this?
I did forget about this video. I just uploaded like my Dude Perfect video and then I noticed that this had been went public and I was so confused. And yeah, pi.
I'm just really bored. I should be studying for history tests. You'll probably know which history test I'm talking about.
Yeah, see, I've made this because I was studying and I got bored, so I made these videos. And I actually got an 82 on that history test, which is a B, which is okay because I don't really try that hard in school.
Hopefully I didn't fail it, or by the time you see this, you probably won't care that I failed it. I don't fail it because I'm not studying.
What is wrong?
One last thing, just so you know what I'm talking about.
It's currently October 4th, so, uh, yeah, like I said, this is October 4th.
When you see this, this will be 6 months down the road.
I currently have 8K subs, 1.8 million, and, uh, yeah, I mean, that's the newest video at this time. That's the newest video, is being a YouTuber hard. I remember that video. Oh, I remember those. So yep, all those videos actually got views, uh, those three right there. Anyways, I'm gonna de-jinxify myself. We're out of reaction mode. And, uh, JK, I actually have a reaction channel if you go click on my channel. Or actually, I'll just link it down below. I actually do have a reaction channel. It's the funny thing where I react to YouTubers' first videos. Back on topic, this was, uh, interesting. I passed that history test, and, uh, I can't wait for my 10-year video— or 1-year video now. Hopefully you guys enjoyed.
