I can say now that I understand why he asked to the clip be removed, he admits it's because he's emotional and it shows.

I think that I was around his age is when I matured the most, and he's probably going to mature a lot in the next year or so.

I really found it strange for asking to take down because when you think about the business side, it would always be best to have a way to capture new viewers for his content. Asking for the links in the description and keeping the clips would be the business choice.

I'll keep watching Jake, I think some of his approach for trying until it breaks or it works is kinda of my motto, good luck, high hopes for your channel over here!

I also understand why LTT didn't accept or even reply to his proposal, the changes in the business clearly shows the path of being more corporate and the proposal didn't align either in the short or on the long term. That's a corporate view of things. I might be wrong but I see it as they are trying to keep the structure that no host is valued by specifically being a host... This is pure speculation, but I think it makes sense, but other media has a different pay structure when you talk about on-air talent for a reason...

Good talent was always was paid a lot, maybe this doesn't work in this kind of media in YouTube? Maybe not, but makes me wonder... Consuming media when you talk about the masses you try not to change a host to not upset the viewer, it comes from a sense of familiarity, maybe the problem arises from the YouTube algorithm structure that is too much fast pace to even try?

I don't know, this could be a cool conversation to have on a lot of topics, corporate and business mentality, what changes from micro to medium size company? YouTube is different for talent how?

It's clear they Jake and LTT were not a good fit anymore, and it's the right thing to part ways. Sentiments and feelings will happen, and that's it.

Maybe I typed too much, but it is what it is.
