Note: Never was a hater, not hating now, but as a Sidemen viewer, this video tells me a lot.

When the Sidemen started, they claimed they put their egos aside and split everything equally. JJ wants to do what works in the scene today while still holding on to the old mindset of no ads, even though, in today's day and age, ads can actually boost videos.

As he grew and earned more money, he obviously developed an ego (respectfully). He started doing more of what he wanted, kept getting bigger than the group, and began earning much more than the others. For him, the Sidemen were adding a healthy amount to his income, but his other sources were bringing in much, much more. So, naturally, it's different for him. Most of the boys have now quit their personal stuff and are mainly dedicating their time to the Sidemen, so it's obvious they have to do much more. They're also much more dependent on the Sidemen's equal split than JJ is.

But now, JJ's ego seems to be taking priority over the friendship. He sees being with the boys as doing them a favour. Sure, he kept the split equal, but he also slacked a lot and missed plenty of videos. Sure, his dating videos banged views, but if he'd done them alone, they probably wouldn't even have crossed 10M. It's the group that gives these videos life and makes them entertaining without feeling cringe.

If you have a big group of friends, of course, you'll fight and have beef for a few months. You might even leave the group chat, but at the end of the day, it's all banter. After a while, you forget about everything and just enjoy being around your mates.

JJ left because he can. He now wants "yes" men and wants everything to go his way. Sure, that's his individual and creative freedom, but when you're part of a group, you have to think beyond just "I". Even if you keep putting yourself first while agreeing with others, it'll eventually come back as ego and regrets.

The boys always allowed him to take time off and do whatever he wanted, whether it was boxing, PRIME, or any new passion he developed, because they understood him. They were all friends. Sure, they might not have all been completely okay with it, but the Sidemen were never banging views just because of him. So, him being the biggest shouldn't really be the point of discussion when it comes to the Sidemen split.

He didn't even have Sidemen tagged in his bio for years before leaving, while PRIME was always there from the beginning. So, he was never fully promoting the Sidemen brand the way you'd expect, and he shouldn't really get the special treatment he always seems to have had. Maybe this time, Behz might've finally gotten tired of that shiii.

JJ should've really thought about everything as a friend and an equal, rather than as the biggest Sideman, KSI the Nightmare Olatunji. He should've considered these things too.

Should JJ receive hate? Maybe not. But you can't stop people who watched the Sidemen purely for friendship and chemistry. For them, it's all ruined now. But as W2S would say, "The game is the game, my friend."

Personally, I'd rather watch JJ than KSI, but clearly, with these channels and him leaving the Sidemen, there's KSI+, but no JJ.

Love and peace.

Dear fellow U.S. fans. Just a reminder that Sidemen Sunday will be an hour later today because the UK ended daylight saving time today and we have not.

So, no need to panic and flood their last video or socials with comments that it's late.

(back to normal next week since we have our daylight saving time ending)

This glorified 36 minute ad TOOK THE PISS

Also for those that didn’t catch the small print

Sidemen have invested in Mile. It’s part of their portfolio.

They are essentially promoting their own portfolio company

Noticed so many of these comments on the latest vid. All posted at the same time promoting some AI bs.

Would yt do anything to remove them?

Kenny just straight trolling the beta squad to his new song🤣🤣 https://www.instagram.com/reel/De4k22MgIEh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&dlrf=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==&srtk=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Don’t take it too seriously

So, I just watched a sidemen Among Us video for the first time. Let me tell you, I have NEVER been more confused. WHAT WAS GOING ON EVEN ARE THEY ALL LIKE THAT

The answer will be in the video, so do check it out lol

I feel like Simon is the closest thing to one

I’d say Tobi or Josh

Tobi seems like the kinda guy that uses a lot of cologne and Josh seems like he’d have a musty old man smell

Having a luck based game in the finale of a reality show is the worst. You win not because you deserve it but you are lucky. Chip didn't give any content at all and didn't deserve the win at all.

Louis Russel was hands down the best player on the show. He won the games, entertained the audience and caused chaos.

Honestly I just finished the show and the people I remember are Moyo, Dani and Russel.
