      Honestly shout out to EVERYONE who helped make this cyclethon happen, Connor, chat who donated money and watched throughout the streams, the sponsors, the staff working behind the scenes, the amazing editors who brought us this video. All of the special guests that helped entertain chat and encourage Connor and Chris through the grueling weather and hills. All of them working together for such a wonderful cause, truly touches my heart. Thank you everyone for helping support raising money for the Immune Deficiency Foundation.

      This is wonderful Conner! Chat did amazing, and so did everyone involved! As a minor who is watching your videos, you've really inspired me to be a better person and do all that I can to help. Last year for my sophomore year, my school had all sophomores do a personal project. I chose to make my project about a lesser known blood disorder and/or disease! My project was about paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria! Sure it didn't help many people, but it helped one of the teachers who was trying to find out what was going on with their grandmother! So at least I got to help someone at least a little bit! You've really inspired me to become the best version of myself. I'm glad I found your old impersonation voice calls from ages ago, back when I was a young tiny thing. You're amazing, and thank you for being a wonderful person to look up to! I'll definitely find a way to do something good this year, despite being a busy junior lol. 🎉🎉🫶🫶

      At least this didn't take as long as last one but tbh, I think I enjoyed Chris's version more… so many moments just drag on too long or repeat themselves in this. I'm sure it's great if you were actively involved in the thing while it was going on but as someone who avoided watching it live… I'm pretty bored at the 2hr mark. Natsuki's involvement, while good for him to attempt, was just stupid. I think most of us know by now that he's like the antithesis of someone who will 'try' when it comes to physical activity and cycling is one of those things that smokers find incredibly difficult. I can't even remember Garnt's involvement… did he even say anything? Pewdiepie was entertaining somewhat but that bike scene was 100% better in Chris's version and I say that as someone who found out about Chris through his involvement with your channel specifically.

      So good job getting the video out, good job raising the money and completing the goals you set out to complete but would I say that this is an entertaining video? Honestly not after the first two cycleathons, it was originally nice to see how you'd progress and handle the challenges that came up but now… it's like it has gone from a small tightknit operation of dedicated people into a full-on business operation where people have objectives and goals they have to meet otherwise the business endeavour fails. The vibe is just gone but if I'm honest… that's the direction your channel(s) have gone in since I think mid 2023?

      This is all my opinion so who cares about it but I'll say that as someone who started enjoying your videos during the time of uploading the $30 cosplay stream, you've changed. You're way more corporate and basically a known quantity, I know what I'm going to get going in to a video now and I'm no longer clicking a video from you as soon as it comes up. Hope you can bring back some of the wholesome magic that you had originally but I'm sure you're happy with the direction things have been going and the money it's bringing in.

      Good luck on future endeavours, it's a great accomplishment what you've done here and you should be proud of both the money raised and the distances you cycled across but I truly hope that you can bring back some of that stuff that made me click on your videos in the first place.

      Congrats to Connor Chris Pete Van gang and all the guests… And a big congratulations to all the chatters and donors… Im glad to have donated and been apart of this wonderful community

    23. @putsticker on

      Connor never intended to be any kind of philanthropy creator, but ended up doing all this amazing work because it just meant something to him. Rather than simply donating to different popular charities, he's instead laser-focused on his mission to help one cause that's in great need of aid and awareness. Just like in research, you gotta identify your scope and parameters in order to make any real advancements in the world. Now he's helped the IDF get legislation passed for insurance coverage in healthcare, and grant travel scholarships to numerous individuals for the 2024 PI Conference where medical professionals and patients alike connect.

      It cheapens his value if people outside the community just pigeonhole him as a "philanthropist guy", but you honestly can't deny it: the man is genuinely making differences in the real world and it makes him stand out amongst a lot of creators.

      Watched this in the background while playing but man… The ending I had to go fullscreen and just rein in the emotions. Great job! You've achieved something on such a level that barely anyone would in their entire lives.

    27. @CIairvoyance on

      Got a roast going, New Genshin Patch up, This video up on the other screen, it's wintery and raining outside lets fucking goooo

      Unfortunate abbreviation the IDF have but what a good cause xd

    30. @madscientist14 on

      Legendary Vid. GigaChad Man. Could only be there for a few seconds, and couldn't afford to donate cuz of life, but I'm really happy for what you've accomplished I just Marathoned the whole video and finished at 2:40 in the morning. I've been waiting for this movie to drop man. The DRAMA, the comedy, the hardships, the VICTORY and all the friends we made along the way. Thank you so much for being a good role model and inspiration for me and the rest of us. I hope to be as great as you someday Connor.

      Also shoutout to Mudan for editing this monster of a video. I truly can't believe your guy's tenacity and hardwork.

      For the past two years I've been helping take care of a loved one home with hospice. It's left me a bit disheartened to put it mildly, but more than anything, it's made me appreciate going out on walks in order to get some fresh air and clear my head. I've been living vicariously through these cycleathons for a while now, and I really do appreciate them. I love Japan, and since I'm stuck at home a lot, these videos help take my mind off things. God bless, and have a wonderful day.
