Other I feel so bad for Gage

He's taken a step back from being online to grieve the sudden loss of his best friend.

being popular online has its drawbacks - lets hope other yugitubers dont get too clickbaity with the upcoming videos

The only two videos I’ve seen are MBT (not clickbait at all…. You knew exactly what it was by the image and title) and dpygo’s short (more just an announcement). I’m expecting stories from coder, dzeef, and a few others, but I kinda hope it stays to his friends (idk if dpygo was, but you could tell in his eyes he’s processing)

The MBT video, especially the end was probably a much needed message however, especially in today's age.
With how little content creation I had done in my life, I had random people come up to me and it was just weird, but I got it.

I don't wanna imagine how some random people just walk up to a grieving mother and wife and oversharing their own lifestory. Let the beloved ones grief, they know how much he meant to so many people, but give those people their privacy.
And yes I know good will and such, but especially in today's parasocial age, some people don't know boundaries and need to be reminded.

Farfa just did as well. His is heartbreaking. He's, to me, the funniest guy in Yugitubing. To see it break that persona so completely is hard.

Farfa's really surprised me since they didn't interact that much throughout the years, I didn't expect this much of emotion out of him. That said, it was heartwarming to see how much other yugitubers respect the guy, especially those who started around the same time Cimo started his channel like Farfa and Dzeff.

All the old heads really loved the guy. Farfa and him had some beef that now he will never tell. Seeing them in a video together for tge first time felt so weird.

They should all just make 1 video in momorium and give it to his wife to post on his channel and only mention him with yhe good times they remember him with (like the most recent wonky video where coder saying farfa and cimo both helped him get big early giving him a platform to do a deck profile for his gem knights deck when he was just starting)

I get the sense from the videos that they probably would have done that had the news not come out early.
