it's always where is jack stauber and never how is jack stauber

[Blobfishinabox]

So basically he was like “you guys are weird” and then he dipped

[doctornowhere]

i've loved Jack Stauber for years. my absolute favorite artist, and a massive inspiration to me. seeing him disappear was upsetting for sure, and at the time i had no idea why'd he'd "throw away" a whole fanbase. Until I got my own, and I saw how strange and disgusting internet people could be.

having your work be misinterpreted and grossly disproportionated by "fans" who claim to idolize you across a bunch of platforms can be so disheartening and passion-stomping. it kinda makes you wish you never shared your work in the first place. but there's a passion that you just can't deny, and ones who truly love what you do keep that passion blazing and motivate me to continue. whatever Jack is doing, he still has that passion, and i'd be happy if he never posted publicly again if we knew he was still happy just doin' what he's doin'.

he's one of the greats, for sure-- an inspiration to many, again including myself. but he's a human, like all of us. the internet needs to realize that.

Laughing and smiling and frolicking in a field of flowers and having a good time

[smile--]

Chronically online losers try not to be parasocial challenge (*impossible*)

[ThatHandsomeWeirdo]

A video about jack that isn’t years old? HELL YEAH

[amycatass]

This is exactly why we figured he left, been fans of his since 2017 and he always seemed like he wanted to be an artists’ artist, not a teenager’s pop idol.

Not really related to Jack Stauber, but same situation happened and is still happening to lemon demon aka Neil Cicierega. His fans are mostly crazy and they worship him as a god, call him their dad only because he has got a child, and acting crazy. And it has gone for a lot of years, 10+. I feel incredibly bad for Jack Stauber and Neil Cicierega, they don’t deserve all of it.

If he quit YouTube thanks to a rabid fanbase, honestly, I don't blame him at all. I was part of the Basement Transmissions discord as well and I was there to watch the community turn into complete CHAOS. I love Jack, his work inspired me in ways I can't describe. But at the end of the day, he's still a human being who wanted to share his passions and creations with the world, and the people attracted, from what I've seen, make the SONIC FANDOM look tame in comparison at times. I feel awful for the poor guy.

[roey]

been following him on Patreon for a while, and even though he doesn't address us or talk of any resurgence, he seems to be doing great. he's trying new things, and is still creating music. I really hope he's doing well all around, but everything he's shown us looks really fun to make. : -) love what he does, I hope he has peace and that Pittsburgh's weather is nice.
Edit: just want to clarify that I have his $1 tier, and his other one is only $5!

[ChristianSheehan]

I once was an obsessive and toxic fan, then I quit discord.

Jack inspires a lot of young people, which is awesome, but young people shouldn’t be spending so much time online. During COVID though, many of us didn’t have much of a choice.

[Ms.gnomer]

As Jeff Mangum once said, “please, I am not an idea. I am a person, who obviously wants to be left alone”

[zakopoulos_]

I recently sign up for his Patreon and he is still kicking it. Hope he is doing well.

[comic_jack.]

i remember someone making a theory or deducting that keyman's lyrics also reflect on jack stauber's perspective of himself not wanting to be known for a "specific thing" like being called the "vhs music guy" just like how keyman prefers not to be called "the keyman" and also other lyrics like "wrote you a song and now you're singing it wrong" which honestly opened my eyes on his sudden hiatus of posting things in public.

[Khnsh_u]

It's so sad that artists can't have the privacy they deserve. Unfortunately, things like this have been happening for a very long time, starting with paparazzi and with the introduction of internet, the fans themselves. People need to learn that even if you enjoy someone's artwork and think it's amazing, the artists are still human and would more often than not like to be treated as such. Privacy is a right that everyone should have, and it's wrong to infringe on that. Thanks for the great video, Evan ❤

[DaveLikesLimes]

I was not aware that Jack Stauber was required to keep everyone updated as to his whereabouts, like an offender or something. It's probably a Bo Burnham type thing, we may not hear from him for awhile until one day, when we need him most, he returns.

[bluntguts]

I own BASEMENT TRANSMISSIONS. Jack grew up performing at my venue, and I know him very well still to tis day. The guy is outstanding in every way. There has never been another performer as talented as Jack on my stage and I am privileged to have had the honor of seeing him fine tune his craft on my stage. I can also say that he is a great person as well, and still supports the venue to this day. So mad respect to him for that. I can't say why he stopped posting publicly but I can say that he is still making incredible art and music. You can support him on his patreon and find some of his current work there. Cool video Evan, .I enjoyed it.

[jcdenton]

I never got weird idolization of artists. Theyre just people, and honestly I probably wouldnt even get along with them in real life lol

[smiles_]

(Yap incoming)

I feel it really is a gamble to become famous/popular as an indie/alt performer. Whether you create art or music, you can bet your audience will be primarily awkward teens and neurodivergent people. No shade to those demographics (I fall into those categories anyway) but we do tend to have a huge issue with parasocial relationships and just general immaturity. I don't intend to excuse the behavior, but it does make sense, a bullied alt kid with few friends or a confused and scared young adult will definitely latch onto an internet personality that seems just as weird as them and use them as a way to escape the trivialities and struggles of the human condition.

It sucks that Jack Stauber felt the need to distance himself, but we really can't blame him. All we can do is analyze, reflect, and better ourselves. Maybe one day he'll return, or maybe we'll help another aspiring artist rise to fame and feel welcomed and safe in their fanbase.

no matter what, Jack Stauber's music will always feel cozy. like a musical hug. Nothing comes closer. It would be nice to have a public upload, but I can live without it.
