Jake’s book reads like a third grader writing an “about me” paper after coming back from summer vacation

[dr_wall]

"I'm just a 30-year-old 15-year-old!" is the best description of influencers ever

[crystalcalathea]

He literally said to teen girls “I know you might be insecure and obsess over your appearance, but don’t worry- guys are obsessing over your appearance”

as someone (with boobs) i can confirm that it’s really annoying when i’m trying to text a boy but my boobs text him instead.

imagine being a tree and growing for years and years to be cut down and be made into jake or gabby’s book

[MaryLeighLear]

I feel like Jake Paul writing a book is the equivalent of “that guy” having to do his homework to stay on the football team.

*You Gotta Want It*, by Jake Paul. “It’s ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ meets ‘Transformers’. Jake and Bumblebee hump for 50 pages.”
“I Want It.” - every publisher.

Sometimes when I feel self conscious about my writing I come back to this video to remind myself that, no matter what I write, it will never be as horrendous as whatever Jake Paul spat out onto those pages. Good god.

A millennial using the phrase “Scrolling through the book” is a boomer cartoon’s wet dream

[garfield]

i’ve never heard a better description of youtuber book youtubers than “i’m just a 30 year old 15 year old”

Not only is Jake Paul telling girls that boys obsess over their bodies hurtful to girls, I also think it's hurtful to boys. I know that a lot of of boys that age are just discovering those feelings for the first time, and maybe they're a little ashamed of those feelings. Jake Paul could be someone they trust and look up to, and he is saying that boys should be watching porn and obsessing over women's bodies, and in that situation I would think that there is something wrong with me because I'm not a creep. It's a horrible thing to do to make people feel like there is something else wrong with them at such a vulnerable time.

“I’m wearing sweatpants and I just had a pb&j smoothie” homeboy really tried to vlog through a book

(….book vlog = blog… 🤯 )

[kyliestruble]

Jake Paul’s book reminded me of the “you’ve never felt the highs and lows, triumphs and defeats of high school football” Riverdale scene

[randomname]

“hey i know i’m 19 but i’m going to talk graphically about sex when i know my audience is a bunch of minors”

[Antharmo]

"girls are occupied with their hairstyles, clothes, and shoes"

No, wrong. Girls are occupied with Neopets and how your pets can have pet pets and your pet pets can have pet pet pets.

[JStack]

6:41 how have we all moved past the fact Jake was attracted to cars before girls

[afra]

the holy trinity of youtube extracurriculars: singing, writing, and starting a podcast

[brennaeakin]

can we just talk about how problematic it is for jake paul to be giving sex advice to girls about boys to 10 year old kids

[kellenknight]

"She was *insert hair color* and had an athletic body-- exactly my type."

Rhett and Link are really good with YouTuber books. They came out with another book called The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek, this one being an original story. From what I know, they got a writer to help them execute it, but other than that, it came entirely from both of their minds, and one of the characters is a tribute to their childhood friend who passed before they started their channel. I think it’s well written, fun, and entertaining. Goes to show all you need to make a good book is actually wanting to do it in the first place and putting in the right amount of effort and heart. (And a certain degree of talent, of course. Writing is deceptively hard.)
