Sad Day for Donut Media

#hoonigan #donutmedia #cars Today we're talking about their tough decision to leave Donut and whats next. Welcome to BigTime! What happened to James Pumphrey donut media? More and more creators are leaving what may seem like the dream job pursue creating for themselves. Donut Media stars Jeremiah and Jobe have announced they have left to start their own channel. Donut faced hard times when the company was bought out by Recurrent.

Check out the BigTime channel: • Why We’re Leaving Donut - BIGTIME

In the creation of this video, I have incorporated clips from various sources to serve as B-roll footage. These clips are used under the principles of fair use for the purpose of commentary, criticism, education, and transformative use. The content is not used with the intention of infringing upon the original creators' copyright, but rather to enhance the value of the final work and provide a richer viewing experience.

If James leaves and joins Big Time then is basically over for Donut.

hasn't been this much drama in automotive media since Jeremy got fired from Top Gear

"What happened to James?"
"We don't know. Thanks for watching."
Gee, that sure answered my questions 😐😐

Donuts going down the donut hole with all the great members leaving. Damn companies ruining the good channels to push their agenda lol

James has BEEN slowly fading from the Donut face. Ever since High Low Subaru, he slowly just moved out the cam light. Like the Car History episodes of them going from Skyline to skyline. I reaaaly wanted it to be a way to bring back UP TO SPEED!!

I really feel sorry for Nolan and Justin as the last two main hosts left, and with Justin being relatively new. It seems they're holding on but not really liking their job. I look for Justin to move on pretty soon. He seems pretty relegated to just being the guy who loses the car-trivia games rather than the replacement or compliment to Jobe as the guy who actually knows how to work on cars.

Donut is finished. They managed to dismantle the greatest team ever since Clarkson-May-Hammond on Top Gear. It won’t be the same.

[Tunda]

James is basically millennial Jeremy Clarkson

This video answered nothing, total waste of time.

He said on a podcast (not the donut podcast) that he didn't see himself staying at Donut too much longer. He said he's getting married and wants a kid. So I'm not surprised at all. Donut will probably end up like Roosterteeth.

RIP donut, I hope the good members go to big time

[PaoYong]

This is essentially like if someone bought an NBA team, lowered the pay to the players and hired more managers, and being surprised the players walk away

Nolan and Aaron could start an Off Road channel, James and Jerry are gonna do street cars, they could divide and conquer. Donut ended when they stopped doing the videos WE love, science garage, up to speed, money pit…they’re just a different version of motor trend now. Wish them all the best

Donut should get back to their roots more. People don't tune in because the corporate production quality. They tune in for the topics and personalities. If they lose the personalities then even the topics won't bring the same crowd.

[frensabri]

soon Donut will be presented by woke lesbian feminist

[kaidendiaz]

Donut really encouraged me to work on my own car. Sad to see the fall off happening so soon, but I’m glad to see my favorites continue automotive creation on their own channels!

UPDATE:

Commenters on their videos are still hounding them about where James is.

[orest]

I feel like he’s the face of donut, if he leaves, donut will lose subs faster than a live service game these days

[ControlAllDa]

Basically we all want all the hosts to quit Donut and join BigTime 😂

[ply]

If he’s gone, hope he’s going in good terms and that he keeps around
