“Shout out to my team. And not Ari.” Spoken like a true bird mom.

She said that she had her eating disorder for months, and it took years for her to move past it. I just think that’s so important for people to hear, that it’s okay to take all the time you need to get better.

What pissed me off the most is the fact that the dude that basically leaked her face, Jaiden still said "I was probably in the wrong" no, she could have literally sued him if she wanted but of course she would never, cuz she's way too nice. Just like Corpse Husband, if she didn't want to have her face revealed it should be absolutely fine

years ago, Jaiden reached out to me as a friend and invited me to a group chat with her and some other animators. Nobody had ever reached out like that before, and everyone was so kind. (my channel was and still is, tiny in comparison to the whole group). They tried to encourage me to go to that same vidcon (mentioned in the video) with them in the group, and even offered to pay for my flights and accommodation, which was insanely generous. Although I declined because that gift is just too much and also my own anxieties around showing my face publicly, I will always treasure and remember the kindness that everyone, but especially Jaiden had shown to me. It has left a huge impression on me.

jaiden is like the cool cousin that you only see every couple months and have a blast with every time

Won’t forget that Jaiden animations snuck pewdiepies chair into yt rewind

Alex Clark owes Jaiden an apology for leaking her face. I still can’t believe he never apologized.

I just love how Anthony interviews people. He doesn't interrupt people, he talks along, tries to understand what his guest is talking about, asks questions that have relevance. He does not poke people with a metaphorical stick and asks them uncomfortable questions. He listens, he cares and he makes sure his guest is comfortable with him :)

Remember when Anthony, Jaiden and James won Mr beast battle royal thing.

That vlogger really didn't respect Jaiden's privacy, despite her spending hours to edit it for him, smh smh

"i was like 'hello parents, i want to quit college"
my god, i laughed because the way she delivered it was funny but i was hurting inside because i also felt it through my college years. even after i've graduated and started working. i still feel like my profession now isn't me.

I'm glad to hear Jaiden has recovered from her eating disorder. I was going through stuff during that and harming myself and now I've been sober for more than a year. So happy for her

I feel like Anthony is the only interviewer people will actually care to answer questions with. Dude presents himself so well. And, of course, Jaiden is pretty damn cool, but that’s always her, so…

Glad Jaiden got her own episode, I feel really bad for how she is treated on the internet though

i love how jaiden is more confident, while still keeping her little bit of awkward charm. her attitude is absolutely badass and i love it. and i love the idea of being able to just go “hey, i wanna make this’ and then just. making it. my brain doesn’t let me do that lol.

Jaiden isn't unproblematic, no one is, but Jaiden has so much bravery and strength. and her coming out as aro/ace, I almost jumped out of my chair out of celebration. I'm not aromantic, but I'm asexual, and I felt so proud of her. Way to go Jaiden!

Anthony is literally the only KRplusr who understands EVERYONE

*Suggestion:* I spend a day with KRplus EDITORS
I think this needs to happen

Can we take a second to talk about how subtle yet amazing Jaiden’s eyeliner is??

Honestly I love Jaiden as a person, even if I don't watch her videos that much. I can really emphasize her anxiety and worries. She seems like a lovely down to earth person, but restricted by the anxiety and worries. I'm happy she's able to work with those feelings and feel more at ease. I hope she'll be able to stand her ground in the future if something like that ever happens again, she deserves to be able to ask the basic things and have them granted. It wasn't hard to follow that request. I hope that person got ripped a new hole. :/

So happy to see Jaiden killin it! Great vid

Jaiden deserves an apology from the Internet

I'm absolutely shook that she did the animation for Cupquake! Some seriously great content creators in this video

wow! she seems like an absolutely legend of a woman. She's so inspirational in taking your insecurities and anxiety and turning that around and becoming a more confident, more happy, healthy version of yourself. Wish one day I could be like her.

Don't mind me, just remembering when jaiden snuck pewdiepie into rewind

Wow. Must watch all the way!

As a girl with self-esteem issues, it’s crazy to see a woman as pretty and cute as jaiden have the same issues as i do, it makes me think it’s really your brain convincing you of things others don’t see or at least don’t really care about.

Jaiden is a very kind person to a lot of people it’s sad to know she had to deal with depression and feeling like she was starving herself to just not to feel self conscious. That Shit should never have happened. Hoping Jaiden doesn’t feel the need to let go of herself and bring herself in a depressing state of her life.

I also feel like faceless creators should not feel pressured to show their own face. They deserve just as much respect as any other content creators

I really like how her parents approached her leaving college. Technically she was an adult and didn't need their permission. But they were supportive while making sure she was being realistic.

I've been so obsessed with jaiden channel lately. I've been binge-watching her entire channel for the best week, and I'm so glad I found her. Overall her personality is what really does it to me, she's very funny and I love how she makes her life stories so entertaining for us to watch. As someone who's always been the shy introvert kid, I can relate a lot to her. I also, I really like pokemon as well, so.... Perfect match

Anthony is a perfect interviewer he never says anything that makes Jaiden uncomfortable or sad. Great interview. 10/10

I love how Anthony makes all his guests comfortable and they don’t make them say anything uncomfortable

It’s so awesome to hear that Jaiden is more confident and creates content that she enjoys making :)))

Omg I just want to hug her. She’s honestly the nicest and sweetest. She deserves the best and all the success. And that dude that leaked her face against her wishes can go play in traffic

Glad that Jaiden got to have her own video with Anthony, she doesn’t deserve what is happening now, she deserves better.

I am very sad that I don't personally know jaiden. She seems so nice.

Jaiden is such a sweetheart. It's heartbreaking to see all the shit behind the scenes, and things that broke her. She's so strong for that, no matter what. I couldn't handle all that anxiety.

She went from trying to hide her face at all cost to doing a sub-a-thon where her beautiful face was on screen for literal HOURS. Watching her videos since 2015, the character development of this woman will always bring me joy.

One of the things I love about learning about different people is learning about their struggles and how they cope, because until you hear it from someone else, you kind of feel alone in the world (at least that's how I sometimes feel). Even though different things work for different people in terms of overcome adversity, it's nice to hear not only about the struggles themselves, but also about overcoming those issues or at least keeping them from defining you. Thank you both and all involved for this video.

Jaiden calling out the drama channels is great honestly. I have such a problem with some of em when it comes to certain things and I'm glad she's talking about it as well as discouraging it

So many people fetisized her face it's gross. Poor Jaiden

I still think it’s insane that every single major Pokémon KRplus knows Jaiden well because of just a fraction of her content. The way she was able to make such a strong impact with relatively little is so impressive and a real testament to her talent and charisma.

I love how matured she was when she was asked about that one specific question which is kinda graphic. She handled it really matured. Maybe I can learn something just by watching these videos.

Hell yeah, i love Jaiden so much. She's such an inspiring person.

Can we talk about her fit? She looks like that cool senior that drive the freshmen’s home and invited them to parties.

Jaiden exposing the commentary community is the best thing ever about this video.

Jaiden is such an incredible person. I'm so grateful I've been able to watch her work for seven or so years now, and to see her grow!

It’s weird hearing her voice come from an actual human and not her animated self

Jaiden is one month younger than me. I used to think shes like atleast 5 years older... now my anxiety is really kicking in. It's hard to have a younger role model 😂😂😂

Jaidens smart for not talking about the nsfw art of her character publicly. Sadly enough there’s no way to fully prevent or stop it from happening especially as a woman online which is very very disgusting.

Jaiden is so inspiring. I love her so much! She is so beautiful, kind, funny, and smart. And when she recently came out as AroAce, it made me more confident about myself because I'm also AroAce. But she's getting a lot of hate and I'm sick of it. She's been through so much and she is a good person. She doesn't deserve any hate.

Anthony is basically KRplus’s therapist

My son and I have been watching Jaiden for years. We adore her voice, her animation, her humor. Just everything. Thanks for this!

Watching this after her friendship with Alpharad is surreal, she has changed so much. It’s amazing and I applaud her growth. She has become an agent of chaos in the internet space, it’s great.

anthony understands and is so caring to everyone, I strive to be like him tbh (edit: 1. wtf is happening in the replies 2. why tf did this get likes)

"I was worried that if I became confident, I'd be cocky and arrogant. So I kept myself down as being anxious and self conscious. But I found people who have found people who have found the healthy middle and I'm like "OH- THAT!!!" "
WHY IS THAT SO RELATABLE OML

I always love Anthony's interviews because he is super respectful and i feel like i learn more about being human ig, just like growing appreciation for yourself and others and its amazing!!💛

jaiden's such a beautiful person. she's open about her struggles and she's really helped a lot of people who relate to her :)

I’m so mad at the person who refused to edit out Jaiden’s face after she EDIT IT OUT HERSELF! So glad the first time I saw her face was on her face reveal video

It feels weird how Anthony changed from a quirky weird kid from Smosh to An intellectual adult. ANTHONY biggest glowup.

Jaiden's awesome. Truly a very talented comedian and animator. I'm glad she's been so successful. She deserves it, because she worked hard to make it happen.

7:46 I can actually relate to Jaiden's statement there, I spent many years of my life severely depressed and it almost felt like once I had conquered that, I didn't really recognize myself at all because that was me for so long. I'm taking steps every day to find myself, figure out who I really am and what my place in the world really is and self-reflecting like that has been really helpful in understanding my own emotions and why I do things the way I do.

She's literally so objectively beautiful it makes me so sad that people feel like that way. everyone deserves to feel like they can feel confident :((

i feel so bad for her! she just draws art online and so many people do the weirdest/saddest things.. 😔

Anthony talking about calorie counting and how he struggled and following it with "SEE THAT NUMBER LOOK HOW LOW IT IS I DID THAT!" and I just- same man. So happy and proud of you both for healing and recovering, it's such a difficult journey.

I think you can see the effort in Jaidens animations and her progress over the years. Really like her videos, especially the funny details in her story telling :)
She deserves all the success!
(feel also bad about how some Internet idiots treat her, but no attention to them)

Alternative title: i spent a second day with jaden animations.

I remember the old days, when I felt down. I just binged watched Jaiden, James, and Domics... I still do now and honestly it's so comforting. It's amazing to see how big they are now

I love jaiden sm, I’ve been subbed to her since she started animating for cupquake and im honestly so proud of how far she’s come.

I swear jaidn is so relatable to me, despite (as far as I can tell from videos) me having a really different childhood. Jaiden and Anthony are both great creators and this interview was basically the crossover I was waiting for💕

She's honestly extremely pretty, is genuinely funny, and seems really nice. I hate that she's had such self esteem issues because she's pretty great.

It does suck that one can't just kill one's own negativity.

22:24
Jaiden: “On a silver platter”
Me an intellectual: no no, you mean thilver platter

I love how Jaiden has evolved from being self-conscious and shy to having an amazing sub-athon and now starting to go live. She is an inspiration to us all.
Good luck out there soldier :)

who leaked her face when she clearly asked them not to and even EDITED IT HERSELF?
i just wanna chat 🥰

so glad to finally have an official statement that shes uncomfortable with art depciting the character that represents her doing lewd things. it sucks that she has to acknowledge it at all but ,,, its nice to have something to show the creepy artists demanding proof she doesnt like it.

Omg, a great takeaway that I have from Jaiden, it’s that her, me and actually everybody struggles a lot with our own perception at some point, being depressed and such but something is certain, it doesn’t matter how you look, Jaiden, you have given so much fun, learning, moments of reflexion and I am so happy that you do what you do right now. It never will matter your looks, because yourself just as you are is better than everything. Happy to see you have overcome a lot of issues and you are still around ☺️

I look up to jaiden so much especially during 2017 when I saw her face reveal video because 2017 was the darkest time in my life, and when I saw jaiden I was like, woah there’s someone else who sort of feels like I do! And it was so comforting and no jaiden I’m not bias like at all! I’m being serious you really did help me a lot and I’m so grateful I found your channel today, also can I just say jaiden has the most beautiful eyes like in the world. Seriously her eyes are so beautiful!

old Jaiden: I'm very shy and anxious
now Jaiden: I'm still very shy and anxious... but less!

hearing jaiden talk about how she doesn't like the r34 of herself just makes me feel bad for her more than anything. i think it should be clear that jaiden is not comfortable with it yet people do it anyway. if she's fine with it that's a different story, but even then it's weird because it's a real person.

wow now Anthony your videos are awesome you being able to get on here and interview these famous people on the internet and be able to see the world through their eyes is pretty awesome and I love it now with Jaiden's story and her experiences it actually inspires me a little because I'm a REALLY and I mean really insecure person and have hesitated to do the things i enjoy because of those feelings and I find it amazing that she is that anxious and has those feelings and is going through it anyway you both are big inspirations to me thank you.

I love her laugh so much! It's so contagious n' flippin' sweet. Glad she's doing better recently ^-^

Man, so many comments but none of them talking about HOW JAIDEN HAS SOME S-TIER DRIP!!!! THOSE SHOES ARE DOPE AS HECK!

I remember watching her "face reveal" video back then when she just posted it, and damn it was so personal and i felt so connected with how she felt somehow. I dunno i'm just happy for her now she's more confident with herself

I love Jaiden for how relatable she is. Makes me more comfortable with myself.

You're such an inspiration Jaiden! I'm super awkward and shy myself. I have a bachelors degree in multimedia and animation, but I never found a job in that field. I would still love to do something with those skills I learned, but it's been so long that I have literally nothing in a portfolio to show people anymore. I also feel like I can't make new stuff because of several reasons... My computer broke and I can't afford a new one...Not that I have anywhere to put one anyway. I can't afford any Adobe programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Etc.) because they are way overpriced and now that you have to pay a subscription fee they're even worse. I just don't know what to do with myself and honestly if I did manage to start a popular KRplus channel like you, I'm not sure if I could handle the pressure. On another note. I love animating and creating cool videos, but i hated almost every second of actual classes.

Some KRplusrs feel so “fake” and the fact that the 2 most genuine KRplusrs (in my opinion) are in the same video feels so refreshing

Jaiden seems like the coolest person to hang out with, it's awful how the internet has treated her, she just wants to do what she loves to do.

Jaiden is so heccin amazing and sweet. I love watching her content a lot and she's such a great person

On a better note, I love Jaidens story of how she got into animating. I can relate, my degree focused on 3D and I felt it hindered me more than anything. Her saying she was all
"Oh I can animate for you"
"Cool you have anything to show?"
"No"
🤣 That's me, now I got to trust my ideas more and just make something.

Happy that she's working through whatever is bothering her. She's so fucking cool though! It's good that she's grown as a person. There's a lot of people that don't! Ha ha ha.

Anthony is like that one friend that understands and listens to everyone and it’s the most amazing thing ever

she looks so pretty ^^

Dude Jayden has gone through so much and she is still soooo positive i just love her she is so kind even though shes going through so much!

personally, seeing her face makes me feel like I know her a lot more than I do, but I guess it's her face, and it's her choice. So frick those people who do something someone else doesn't want to do to get views.

I haven't seen Jaiden's face much and for this long. she's actually so prettyy

Jaiden's one of my favorite animators on KRplus. She's truly just fun

I love this girl sooooo much. Shes so relatable but also hilarious.
