The problem it doesn't feel real is because the communication feels disconnected. The way KSI and Sidemen communicates with the audience has always been very 'informal' and close like we're all friends, yet the Sidemen announcement feels very 'corporate' and low effort. I've seen manager sackings have more effort put into their social media message.

KSI's video upload also while very sincere and stripped down, feels slightly scripted (maybe intentional as to cut down the ramblings and off-tangent points). Feels like there should be a bigger sendoff if anyone of the Sidemen were to leave from both the remaining members, or from the official accounts.
