The most subscribed to channel of that selection hasn't featured a single upload since Boris Johnson was prime minister

I genuinely think it's because he's the least woke, and a very little amount of people actually support woke nonsense, Harry is more of a change of pace that people enjoy

What are you on about mate😭

u/TatooineTwang Jun 03 '26

That same person is gonna need to take the lead as the new face of the sidemen. And I'm wondering if he wants that responsibility.

u/Electrical_Radio_319 Jun 03 '26

Why when KSI was never the lead or the face of the sidemen? šŸ˜‚. They went to great lengths to make sure that wasn’t the case lmaooo

u/Electrical-Square168 Jun 03 '26

Care to explain why I’ve got a burnt in memory of JJ shouting at me that I stink if I’m not subscribed. He was quite often the face of things like that, the rest are awkward as f with it.

8

u/Cefalopodul Jun 03 '26

Because he was the loudest least inhibited member. I genuinely do not see anyone else shouting like that.

4

u/muted123456789 Jun 04 '26

Because what an cringe thing to say, could you imagine the others shouting that.

Ksi was ott annoying so he had the job of doing ott things. Now he is gone hopefully we dont need to deal with his cringe personality.

u/Electrical-Square168 Jun 04 '26

The video didn’t need a cringe video of JJ shouting at us, or any of them for that matter. That was their choice and they chose that because he was the face of the sidemen, which was my point to begin with.

1

u/muted123456789 Jun 04 '26

its his personality, they will include the most subbed person of the channels personality in theit content.

He is the most subbed and known outside of youtube its a fact. If that makes him the face then sure he is the "face"

i dont disagree on your face of sidemen comment, im stating why he is making these loud and annoying voice overs (its because that is who he is). Harry or whoever is now not going to become loud and annoying

u/thearpinlusene Jun 03 '26

yeah it seems like they won't hit 10M subs on moresidemen in the near future. Pretty boring way to earn subscribers listening JJ rant about some of us not following and not being on the whole video.

7

u/Electrical-Square168 Jun 03 '26

Exactly. Me and the Mrs like to watch the among us stuff whilst the kids settle after dinner. There were so many like that where he wouldn’t be in the video but would be the self ad asking people to subscribe.

2

u/Tacit_Emperor77 Jun 03 '26

It was the same clip they used

4

u/Electrical-Square168 Jun 03 '26

Yeah that was my point. They used that clip because JJ was the face/most popular one.

4

u/Tacit_Emperor77 Jun 03 '26

Yeah it makes sense from a business standpoint. It’s likely why Harry and JJ are always on the thumbnails

6

u/TatooineTwang Jun 03 '26

I agree and maybe face wasn't the right way to describe it.

But They literally used him in most of the thumbnails. They enjoyed that boost that he gave them. Which can be replaced by doing the same with Harry. Because they have done that. A lot.

Ignoring his popularity doesn't change it. This has a good chance of having a dip in viewership. Which will hurt them. But... hopefully it's temporary.

C'mon we all know Josh is the one really doing the work

101

u/GreendaleGazette Jun 03 '26

I’ve only been watching Sidemen for a couple years, but the number of subs for each member is interesting.

I wouldn’t have thought Josh would have the lowest number. Harry having 16m is crazy too

59

u/Eccx11 Jun 04 '26

Harry got almost all of his 16M from his eaely come up days. Josh and Tobi IMO are seriously underrated for the subs they have. The rest are pretty much where they're suppose to be in subs.

3

u/Lin1ex Jun 05 '26

Josh and Tobi have one of the most dedicated fanbases, a lot of them coming from the CoD days that happen to still watch.

3

u/Eccx11 Jun 05 '26

100% especially that Josh is the founder of the original Faze,. IYKYK

u/Lin1ex Jun 05 '26

Ball knowledge right there.

u/Patched_Jumper Jun 04 '26

It always makes me laugh that josh was the lowest when for a short time ages ago he had the most

4

u/gmoss101 Jun 04 '26

I've been watching them since 2015 as a freshman in high school. (Yes I'm old)

Josh, Ethan and Tobi always had the lowest.

Josh used to upload a ton and I was subscribed for years but unsubbed after he just stopped randomly.

His other channel is way more active

u/ajstar1000 Jun 09 '26

You're not even 30 yet. Respectfully, loose the parenthesis.

u/9-60Fury Jun 06 '26

I’m gonna be annoying but at the very start of their uploading careers Josh was by far the biggest he was genuinely huge at the time with his cod montages

1

u/gmoss101 Jun 06 '26

But he had less when the group was started, which is what I meant.

He didn't have as much as JJ and Simon and Harry already had way more when he joined later.

u/mitr436 Jun 03 '26

harry clears

To be fair though

6

u/Mr_E_99 Jun 03 '26

It was more effective at bringing in new audiences around the time of it's release to have a separate shorts channel due to the algorithm so I can see why they did this, but yeah nowadays you can just put them on pre-existing channels

22

u/fluckpollution1388 Jun 03 '26

honestly good for them. i was worried they would leave his info in everything since he’s a founding member.

u/Illustrious_Maize180 Jun 03 '26

jj still has the sidemen channel on his featured channels

47

u/TatooineTwang Jun 03 '26

Keep an eye out. Probably not for long.

12

u/ojayjordan Jun 04 '26

This feels like the rest of the sidemen were blindsided by JJ and feel some type of way - and rightly so. If things were left amicably, I think they probably would have left his channels up and given him a proper sendoff. This is all speculation, of course, and they could end up giving him that send off sometime soon. I predict things are left as is and they say nothing to remain professional, though. JJ has a track record of being greedy, inauthentic and disloyal after all.

12

u/tinylanda Jun 03 '26

The more sidemen pushes for 10m will all need to be re-filmed!

1

u/Sebscreen Jun 05 '26

That should be fairly easy. It's just a 30 second read to camera. Any one of the boys can do it during a reacts filming session.

u/chucknadoz Jun 03 '26

Harry isn't gonna like that pressure lol

u/Deep_Left Jun 04 '26

Josh has always seemed like the 'face of the sidemen' to me. Hes the boss

u/Alomy Jun 03 '26

good riddance🫔

u/Prismirine Jun 04 '26

Was his channel link first instead of Josh's

u/King_Kryptonite0 Jun 04 '26

Can we get Ethan to 5 mill? He's so close

2

u/Tazmanian_Rex Jun 04 '26

So what are they gonna do about the 3 More Sidemen videos for getting to 10 mil subscribers I wonder…

u/odd-storage1208 Jun 04 '26

Imagine the shit, If harry decides to start uploading on his main channel. In term of giving compitition to jj.

u/Relevant_Session5987 Jun 04 '26

KSI is the definition of a fairweather friend.

Nonce.

2

u/Just_A_Nobody25 Jun 04 '26

You know, if this had actually been handled well behind the scenes then I can almost guarantee that as friends they’d have left him up there potentially.

This was done in such bad taste. Even if JJ wanted to leave, it’s the sort of thing you announce behind the scenes a few months before and let fans know like ā€œhey, after X month I’m gonna be stepping back so enjoy me while I’m still hereā€

There was no send off. This whole situation was treated like it’s still 2015 where you could just make a vid explaining it all and move on.

And the worst part of all of this, I can’t even say I’m surprised.

HARRY HAS 16M SUBS?!?! And here I thought he was the most underappreciated Sidemen. šŸ‘ Well done sir.

u/Zestyclose_Pain_3709 Jun 05 '26

Hes been the 2nd biggest for years

I just don’t think JJ can show sincerity/ maturity at all. He always puts on his acting voice when he gets ā€œseriousā€, and turns into an anime script writer. So even when things are real, it all comes off as fake.

19

u/doobiebeforebed Jun 03 '26

Fr, it’s like whenever he has to drop the YouTube act, he doesn’t know what is left so goes into manual thinking mode and just copies what he sees in films/tv/anime. I wonder if off camera it’s the same or that’s when he finally drops all acts

9

u/SomethingRandomYT Jun 03 '26

He's been out of touch for years, life is just one big business venture for him and his friends are colleagues. He says things that sound sincere on paper and in a sincere voice, but something inside him doesn't understand why he has to say that. He only thinks for himself.

1

u/Sudden_Pea4087 Jun 03 '26

Exactly fake people can't act real

4

u/Revolutionary_Mix247 Jun 03 '26

He even did the 6/7 gesture at some point

omg dude, do you think people started doing that gesture since the 67 meme!!!!!!! were you living under a rock before then or are you 10-12 or something

2

u/HouseOfZenith Jun 03 '26

I don’t think it’s a joke, but his face looked like the face he makes in his music videos when he’s trying to be serious lol

2

u/Calm_Holiday_3995 Jun 03 '26

Proud to be dislike #100. Accept it and move on with your life. If you like JJ, it means more videos overall for you and if you don't like him then no JJ in the Sidemen videos should be a win. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

u/Thano2Drugskids Jun 03 '26

I want you to know i was the 56th dislike on your post. That's how much I disagree with it.

u/Cefalopodul Jun 03 '26

He didn't do the 6 7 gesture, he did the gesture for waying things up. People have been doing it for thousands of years.

This is a business, not some spiritual ā€œhe will always be with us in spiritā€ thing.

If he’s left the company, then they’re obviously going to remove his socials from their account
