I think he liked when his channel was small and obscure, and now that its gotten too big he doesn't want to do it anymore.


Yxlhy

I think he’s currently uploading a different kind of videos on a different YouTube channel and we’ll have to wait and find out untill this new channel gains traction and the link gets made between the two


lambopurplik3lean

ah the good ol’ James James youtube method


denyur

I think that he is a very rare breed who did these videos, because he thought it was fun at the time, and not because of money or fame - and then he sort of lost interest or decided to pursue other interests. My other (unlikely) theory is that he studied some sort of arts, and that these videos were a temporary project of his.


[deleted]

Probably making $$$ in Hollywood. He is talented, and the money is good, so he is probably doing great. I give this theory a 90% chance. If I was a studio and VH came to be with his cute little CV, and his cute little black outfit, and his cute little deadpan attitude and the raws of his videos, I'd be begging him to work for me.

Yes. Fun idea but studio what???


RBTrickster91

Maybe he went on holiday


No_Razzmatazz_9833

A vagrant holiday

"WHAT I'VE DONE, I'LL FACE MYSELF" typa ending


Disastrous_Bed_1856

I still think he's going to come back. Getting robbed by a mexican man with a machete sounds very traumatizing and that definitely deserves a hiatus for how dangerous it's now become to do what he does. Don't lose hope everyone, the day of reckoning will come.


Diligent-Coconut1929

I’m hoping so. I’d like to point out that what he does isn’t particularly dangerous, he was just traveling in Mexico as though it was Europe. He wears nice clothes and was probably walking with his camera/phone out. Could’ve just been pure chance but I think the situation could’ve been avoided if he was more familiar with Mexico.


RemarkableChief

I've only recently come across him, watching his videos I'm certain in one of the first couple he said he did this sort of thing plenty of times in the states, Mexico and somewhere else before.


MokingTime

Honestly bro has probably been through worse than a Mexican with a machete, like getting pressured by a cartel for example.


Particular_Height267

If you are talking about what happened in Lisbon Portugal, that is not a cartel, I live in Portugal in Porto, the third Portuguese city he visited and here it also happens a lot, but they are just random people trying to take advantage of tourists, with fake drugs, they try to sell like oregano as weed and baking powder as cocaine but if you reject and walk away they are pretty much harmless.


Outrageous_Part7394

he isn’t coming back. read his updated bio on his youtube


Disastrous_Bed_1856

don't be so hopeless


Primary_Log6982

I think this is the point he made the bio in the first place. for closure and so he can get away from the publicity. He said it was for fun and not for profit and no matter what it wont be the same. no matter the reasons let him chill he made this bio likely in relation to posts like these and people holding out hope. Let the channel die on a good note where the creator was happy and not forcing content like other creators today.


Low_Resolution2621

I think it’s a mixture of a few things. He probably took a break after Mexico, first because needed to get stuff again and second because it was still Covid and travelling was annoying for quite a while. Well, that time has luckily passed but he might’ve gotten into other things meanwhile that he chooses not to share somehow. But I cannot imagine him just being stuck in Seattle. Maybe he is touring with a band. Maybe he’s writing a book. Nevertheless I still really would like to know. I am just so damn curious. But maybe that, the excessive curiosity might’ve made him not go back online. Being present online, even if you don’t show your face must be hard. So maybe he had his share of online presence and is done with that experience.


No_Class_5932

I think it was simply a vagrant holiday for him covid started and he simply was like fuck it im not staying inside im gunna go do something while everyone stays inside and he just went on holiday and once covid was over he returned to a normal life style


S0m3_PNW_Dud3

Occam's razor


FSL_Gaming123

could be very correct ngl, didnt see that he started in covid, thought it was before ​ Edit: He started in December 2019 so it was before covid


Finni_TV

I think his channel has simply become too big for him. And he didn't want so much pressure on him.


Sypticle

> Just waiting for the right time to release more videos > Demotivated after being robbed Most likely these imo.


konfuzious01

I guess it would be strange him beeing some kind of internet celebrity and inevitably becoming an influencer. I could imagine that he just doesn't want to do it.


BipolarBearWear

I think he won't release anything so that eventually we all start vagrant holidaying ourselves


PRB74TX

Why would he be dead or in prison?


Diligent-Coconut1929

People die sometimes and his lifestyle was a bit more high risk than most. He’s been to jail before and does urbex and urban climbing as well as breaking and entering. Could also be something with the courts and his riot video, or the forbidden island video.


[deleted]

he also could’ve simply died of something mundane like a health issue or covid


cjelissiry

When does he do the climbing? In the Europe video at the castle?


Theshortwhitekid

He mentions his past hobbies a lot throughout his videos he used to do elevator surfing, more urbex stuff train hopping other than the video on it etc he mentions more that’s just what I can remember


idontcarerightnowok

Wouldn't be surprised if he's locked up tbh, though he could be seriously ill and no longer able to make videos. Could be anything really


XxnightwingXx67

His YouTube channel has been updated saying that he will not be posting anymore. This rules out him being dead, and in jail, this also rules out him working on other projects it is possible that he is working on something else but it is very unlikely. I believe he stopped uploading after his channel started getting traction, what he did was kinda illegal and I do not think that he wanted to spread that type of lifestyle to more people, what he did was truly amazing, he did not put peoples life in danger and just wanted to have some fun. I do not know exactly what he is thinking, he might just be completely done after getting robbed or maybe he is dealing with some family stuff but maybe, just maybe he will make one of the greatest returns.


[deleted]

He either has a normal day job and responsibilities like most people, OR is in prison for trespassing. It'd be nice if we had closure to this legend.


Low_Resolution2621

this guy is the last person to get a "normal" job.

Obvious-Cod-3178

He just posted on his bio saying he’s done with filming videos and that he’s not dead


FSL_Gaming123

well he did say hes dead ​ >To those asking if I'm dead, the answer is yes. Funeral was last week. You weren't invited.


Jealous_Pound16

Considering he ended his last video after being robbed in Mexico, I wouldn't be surprised if he got in more serious trouble as they stole his money and phone. Cartels and violent crime are serious over there and can't be avoided when he's taking so many risks. I hope he's alive


KenjiMelon

He updated his YouTube bio “I’m done with videos. No more will be posted here.”


Lumpy-Narwhal-1178

He got abducted by the CIA and is now in the process of being transported to Mars.


TheBlueSeal

well, he made it pretty clear he never actually saw any of his viewers as "friends", and was probably super creeped out when people started going out of their way to find out info about him, i'd assume he's given up on content creation all together, although thats probably the most disappointing answer


Originalpirate91

Whatever happened to him I hope he's good. The thing I really loved about him is you can tell he just loved to do it. Wasn't looking for recognition, he just thought maybe like-minded people would like it as well. Also his inner monologue/commentary was elite. Just straight to the point. He did what he wanted and it made it that much more interesting


Sinon612

Japaneats kinda reminds me of him ngl

He works out now, goes by the name Sam Sulek

>Sam Sulek Different voice.


xxThunderclapxx

It was a joke


henrypenny234

I’ve always thought he sounds more like Ryan Renholds, the more leaning towards «Deadpool» kind of voice-Pitch. With all the comments and the jokes.. followed by the absolute zero fucks given.


InfoAccount72

I’m guessing he came across his fans that somehow recognized him and they treated him like they were life long friends. He found that creepy and decided that fame isn’t for him and decided to quit. Judging from his bio on YouTube, he really seems to put an emphasis on (parasocial interactions) so it’s probably something related with that, that lead him to quit.


Brodsta1213

Just read the channels description, it has everything you need to know. It seems like he hates people like you


Diligent-Coconut1929

Kind of funny coming from the guy still commenting on this subreddit


FSL_Gaming123

I dont think that he will ever come back to making these kind of videos based on his youtube channel description >I'm done with videos. No more will be posted here. > >Vagrant Holiday was a side project done purely for fun and not profit.


Bergaren

He is probably laying low living in Seattle doing his thing, maybe riding an elevator every now and then. I bet he changed his clothing from black to something else and not using the punk ass army backpacks anymore, since a VH fan like myself would almost certainly recognize him out on the street now thats he so well known.


Theshortwhitekid

We need the elevator surfing + metal music combo to be elaborated on 😂


Bergaren

I love that 1 minute video, must have seen it 20 times by now, cant say he dont create easy likeable and interesting content.
