Seems like they will all be okay, except I don't know about Sam I just hope Sam will do something with his life. I know he is getting invited to Magcon and other events for tours and stuff but the only reason he is even getting invited is because of O2L. In a few months those tours won't invite him or pay him as much unless he does something to stand out. Like I've always wondered what does Sam do with his life? He's not in school, and has no other job besides YouTube. I knows he makes is O2L videos on Wednesday nights so what does he do with the other 6 and half days a week? I see on twitter what the other guys are up to and seems like they are doing a lot and have a lot going on, but I have no idea what Sam is doing. I don't hate Sam but I just don't really see him going anywhere with his life.
But yeah, I think O2L ending is good because their videos were really stupid and pointless and if you followed them on twitter you would know most of the time they just filmed the video an hour before they uploaded it. I think it is time for them to grow up and honestly they did last a long time. Collab channels on YouTube are lucky if they can last six months and they always have to find new members. O2L lasted over 2 years and only lost two members (Ricardo and Connor) and they still are best friends with Connor.
I don't know if any collab channel will have the fan base of O2L because usually they quit before they can even get a good fan base. If any channel becomes the next O2L it would be SDK but they are different. The thing I noticed about SDK is a lot of their fans are smaller YouTubers themselves, whereas O2L are just fansgirls who want to be YouTubers but aren't (SDK some has fangirls too) plus SDK is really laid back like sometimes some of them don't upload (especially Joe) and it is no big deal and they don't even have themes or anything either. SDK is a good channel but I just don't know if they would ever get to the level of O2L and have the same type of screaming fans. I guess we will just have to see.
I am actually worried for Sam. Ricky said in another post that Sam had something lined up, but really what could that even be? I hope he does something and quick.
I feel like all collab channels are stupid to a point, but O2L did have a reason. O2L brought many people together, of course many artists do the same thing. But with O2L, they started many friendships online and brought together tons of different people from around the world. Yes it was stupid, but it was a fun stupid and that is what everyone liked. No collab channel can last, but I just wished many did, because I've seen ones that had promise, but something else interfered. I've never watched SDK, but I don;'t think I could handle another break up like this. The reason I care so much about O2L is because I just wish I had some type of friendship that these guys had, people who are passionate about filming, while maintaining their silliness and joy.
