What Is JacksCamera?

OK.  Another blog post time... sigh.
What is JacksCamera?
Well...

As many of you know, and many more you probably don't know, I run a second channel other than my main JaackMaate channel on YouTube.  Entitled JacksCamera.  
I have been upload fairly regularly to this "side-project" for nearly three years now, and I love it.
It's basically a series of video diaries, showcasing the different things I get up to in life, and my daily routines, the friends I meet, the girlfriends I have, etc, etc.

I love this channel, it's my life, on screen.

However, recently, I've been receiving comments on these daily videos informing me that these videos are "boring" or "dull".  And you know?  They are.  A lot of the time, I'm doing exciting stuff like going to music festivals, or being on Channel 4 and making a video diary of my entire day.
Other times, I'm sitting in my bedroom, talking to a camera about cats, or strawberries, or dead fish.
That's because, sometimes in life, things get a bit slow, a bit boring, and I don't see why I should just capture - the good stuff - so to speak.



And you know who I am, right?  A YouTuber who LOVES to entertain, and make people laugh!  
I really do, I get a thrill from receiving comments saying I've made your day, and that you love to watch me rant about stuff, it's brilliant, and I go a bit warm, and fuzzy, like a cat in the oven.
However... these second channel videos, I am sorry to say... but...

I do not care, if you find them boring, in the slightest.

Now obviously, I'd love for you to watch my daily vlogs too, and enjoy them.
But a minority of you need to understand that I do not care about views, subscribers, or even comments, on the second channel, and that JacksCamera is JUST ABOUT ME.
It's something I can upload to, freely, without putting effort into, unlike JaackMaate.
I work hard on JaackMaate making good content that 65,000+ subscribers might enjoy.
JacksCamera is a video DIARY, for ME, and my FRIENDS.
It's something to show my future wife, and kids, as they grow up and wonder what "Dad" got up to when he was a loser 19 year old with a camera.

Imagine that, if you could watch your parents life before you existed?  
See what they got up to, daily.
See their old friends, their old teachers, their old jobs...
It'd be crazy huh?

So I am going to continue uploading to JacksCamera for years to come, and occasionally, I'll post links to the videos on Twitter and Facebook for people to watch, if they'd like too.
But bear in mind, I really, don't care if you enjoy those videos.
They're for me.

However, enjoy JaackMaate, that's all for you.

Thank you.
