My music taste is significantly better.

Always a good time to watch and has helped shape me to be very proudly liberal

ABO127

I was about to comment this exact thing word for word

Jackson

Let’s just say I’m in debt now

Sam Bork

made me realize how good I am at guessing songs from 1 second of audio and shorter

Elijah

Can’t stop listening to Caroline Polachek

Braeden Terpstra

When I first discovered Hivemind, it helped me through one of my worst depressive episodes. Then it replaced it with something much worse🥰🥰

Austin G

I introduced it to a friend who doesn't care at all about music and we watch brackets and stuff weekly and laugh our assessment off

Salem

Weekly funnies to look forward to

Seth Spicer

You guys have genuinely helped me through one of the toughest times I’ve personally had to go through without even knowing it. I love you all more than you know💚

Tyler Elliott

the boys got me through a breakup, y'all real AF for that

Josh

Gave me something to watch on the shitter

BustyBagel

Graydon put me onto my favorite album and song ever and it just won their bracket!

Ethan Flynn

Genuinely Graydon has gotten me really into Jazz through his recommendations and it's been really good for my productivity!

Derek Crowe

Fr has been a great escapism during some dark periods of my life

Henry Stater

Yall gave me a lot more laughter in a tough time. I keep telling people that y’all’s bit brackets are funnier than every single comedy special in existence

charlie fiore

people no longer understand my humor

ee kay

I'm not sure if this is a bit or not but I want to say that it's been awesome to find a channel that really gets the humor of my friend group. Unironically y'all make me feel seen 🫶😁

Tay

gave me football and music opinions to regurgitate so i look like i know what i’m talking about

William

Laughing at dj Grant when Arsenal lose

beau

i look smart with niche music facts

LucaCCB

Hivemind means everything to me man I love this community. My entire first quarter of college I had no friends it was just me and my Hivemind videos every day. Still not much different now but it’s getting better.

riley taylor

extremely silly and widened my music tastes so thank you!!

Sam

put me on an insane amount of new music and also make me happy

Henry

I be watching

Nomie Fowler

got “hot penis” stuck in my head for three days …

Boingoos

Y’all have just made me feel validated for being a fucking freak.

Parker

Almost got arrested in the hivemind merch

It's Mimi

I feel awkward because everyone is responding ironically but you guys’ passion about music rubbed off on me and I got into new artists and am even pursuing music now. As if we need more musicians lol.

Late

Just escapism. You're amazing

Julia

Thanks to Graydon I got into Bob Dylan last year and even got tickets to his show in Paris for my birthday ! Even bought an harmonica 👍

Sharkey

My mom thinks im homosexual

exitallure

its a routine everytime i shower i play a hivemind video, everytime my cock and balls are out gettin cleaned, im thinking of my favorite boys from hivemind☺️👍 cheers!

Brandon

Made me realize I CAN guess a song from 1/4 second of audio

flubberpuff

Helped with my depression by giving me something funny to watch and enjoy :) Plus good music recs obviously

Brenna

My sense of humor is irreparably damaged and I think in hivemind bits but also my music taste is way cooler. And I know I have a place online where I’ll always have a laugh and feel better, even if it’s just for an hour

Zade Kaylani

you guys played me and my brothers game relatle.io which led to over 1 MILLION matches played on the site. and relatle’s success helped me land my current job so thank you :) !!! (ep 2 plz)

lennie

i’m obsessed and no one understands me anymore

Sam Bork

I’m proud to be from Toledo because of you guys

Jack Held

Legitimately makes my day better when the fellas upload a new vid on any of their channels. I try to support yall on all platforms because it’s a good way to give back a little of what I’ve been given. My friends and I love doing brackets or games we create because of Hivemind. Also, Hivemind impacted my life greatly in another way when Dignan ran over my grandmother with his car in April 2004. Love you guys! ❤️❤️

quinlon

not to be unironic but y’all’ve given me awesome new music to listen to, a source of inspiration for my art, and a show that will always brighten my day no matter how crappy it’s been (and i have a lot of those). im genuinely so happy to have found hivemind, i seriously love yall so much 😭🩷

Qweast

I talk like Ryley and Graydon where I just leave out words completely "it's like a car" has become "it like car." With the same inflection. Needless to say life has gotten better

Sam B

corny answer but i found yall when i was going thru a really tough time and watching your vids was quite literally the only thing that would make me laugh. im someone who isn't big on sports or rap but yall are still my fav channel and i like surprising people with knowledge i wouldn't otherwise know (name dropping dan marino). meeting yall in person just solidified that ur actually cool irl too

Vlairity

i'm still homeless so clearly not enough

Ethan

My fits are fire now thanks to the hivemind copes collabs 🙏

Kassady

when i met my fiancé, i had never heard of you all, but we started watching your videos today bc he was already a fan. we watch them almost everyday and its such a special quality time that we have together. you all make us cry laughing and we absolutely love you all🫶🏼

Colton Wulff

I dont remember how i started watching but Hivemind has truly saved my life. I dont think ive ever consumed this amount of media from one channel ever. I love all the videos, all the streams, ive found so much music and learned so much from this channel. Grant has also taught me how to be the worst red dead redemption player of all time which is pretty helpful. Either way keep up the horrible takes and funny jokes!

Andres Molina

Get some good content to watch while working.

Felix B

Y’all keep me sane!! As soon as I sit down to watch a Hivemind video I’m the most mentally stable person on the planet. Blessed be

Tyler Elliott

they've also forced me to give hundreds of dollars to Nathaniel Copes

Sam Bork

Hello fellow Sam B

morgan palace

long form content helping recover my attention span

Sam B

let's gooooo

Sam B

real

Milosh Hasak

I make 60 less dollars a year

Andrew

hivemind makes working my boring ass job bearable, puts me on to incredulous music and movies, hooks me up with copes drip AND makes me lmao and rofl. so it’s alr i guess but logan paul better🫶

abby

i made a group chat with a bunch of the premiere chat regulars and now i have so many wonderful friends that i talk with every single day 🫶

ee kay

AMEN

smashleydee

Started following for the cute boys, stuck around because they're funny. It's easy to lose faith in men on the internet, so I really appreciate the Hivemind crew ❤️

Jesse Norman

hivemind has been pretty constant background noise for me for a really long time (haven’t missed a vid since 2021 aside from some of the cheap seats stuff that i didn’t care about too much). it’s been a cool feeling to get to know all of the running jokes and keep up with the “lore” so to speak

Dante 3000

i love the newsletter. i love when they post playlists or albums that helps with new music discovery. graydons recipes always look fireee to gotta try one soon too

Sam B

hello fellow sam b from the midwest

The Pretty of the Odd

Truly the most ______ show on the internet. It's been nothing but laughs since I stumbled upon your channel last September. Getting to see Livemind in Chicago was fucking epic and I'd totally do it again! I love y'all and you have A LOT to be proud of. 🧡

Gus

I don’t recognize the me from 2020, pre-hivemind. I’m a more caring, cared for, purified human who only commits a decent amount of crime

Timon

Rewatching old videos while doing something else makes me not think of Diggy's evil schemes

jack walters

given me infinite content to watch while i eat my lunch for the rest of my life thank you so much

aiden

in literally every way lol i’ve literally found friendships through this community and strengthened ones i already had. you guys are also the first like go to surefire way to make myself feel better that i’ve ever had. the content is a 100% successful way for me to escape and detach from reality and that’s so helpful. i’m so forever thankful for yall 🩷

Sabrina

It restorted my faith in (some) men lol It's so strange to find creators with non toxic humor as a girl these days

Brenden Seabolt

Dignan showed up at my house and took exactly one battery out of each of my tv remotes and then left

3ak47s

I’ve been watching for a few years now and Hivemind has been one of the only constants since. Definitely a comfort went I see a post, a community I’m proud to be a part off. All that to say Riley, Graydon, Dignan , and Grant could truly convince me to join a crab based cult in a heartbeat.

Maxwell Gray

Now I’m an alt-right leftist

Caitlin Barnard

i've literally watched at least one of your videos every day for the last like three years or something, and never laugh harder than when I'm watching one of your most outlandish bits. its for sure escapism, but its community too, i like that there are so many 'in jokes'. i also decided to pursue a career in music journalism because of y'all

Ben Toy

You guys are literally my inspiration for my whole life. Once I understood your whole operation and fell in love with your style of comedy it turned me into a life long fan. You will see an IG post abt it at some point but you guys played a part in me getting into my 2nd favorite college on my list. You guys really just opened my mind to what media can be and I strive to find a group of friend that’s as strong as yours. Thank you.

Matthew Soderlund

My best friend and I watch Hivemind, and we love using bits, especially “I’m sorry Em.” Sometimes I accidentally use bits when I’m not with him, and it makes me sound like I have Tourette’s.

eddie_fr

Infinite hilarious content glitch

Hurr1Kane

I have seasonal affective disorder, and while I watch hivemind year round, It helps me cope especially during the winter months with my chronic anxiety. Everyday, I know I can come home and throw on a hivemind video and not have to think about all of my stresses. The way Riley and Graydon talk about music has also made me develop a closer relationship with it. Specifically the albums bracket. I am also a leftist political science major and I really appreciate all you guys do to advocate for righteous causes every chance you get. Lastly, coincidently, Riley and Graydon have a relationship that is eerily similar to me and one of my closest friends. I see a lot of myself in Riley and can more easily cope with my problems when he talks about his personal experiences. Thank you Hivemind!

honey

Have watched more youtube than anything else since I was a kid, and after years of watching many different kinds of content the first cartoon puns video when it came out had me hooked more than a video had in years. Seeing you guys slowly get the recognition you deserve while always trying to give us new videos, just happy I get the opportunity to say how much I appreciate the mountain of content you guys give us!

michael

gave me and my girlfriend something to bond over and put me onto great music

Brandon Weber

When I first found the channel in 2021, I genuinely thought “oh my god they finally made a YouTube channel just for me”. Hivemind has given me countless laughs and memories watching with friends, but more than anything, new perspectives. The channel is about the bits mainly, but I like the sincerity about music and life more than anything else on the channel. These are two (could be more but I don’t hear the others talk as much, sorry grant, tony, cronk and Quinn) guys with a plethora of life experience that are able to impart truths and advice that I have never considered before. It’s changed the way I think for the better, and I am very grateful for it. Quote to lead or live your lives by: “Hivemind da goats no cap”

Jacob Leslie

Been watching the channel for a little over 4 years, got me through college, got me through some very dark times in my life, and helped me learn to be comfortable with who I am as a person. Not trying to be corny or anything, but it all just means so much to me.

Kale

Even as a relatively recent Hivemind enjoyer, I've found so much good music. I've have a lot of laughs and all the bits really serve to enhance the moments of sincerity too, even little things like Graydon seamlessly jumping from some absurdist bit about Pulled Pork Park or something to just a beautiful poetic analysis of why a song works for him. Helped me start to think more critically about music I like. The list goes on!

Connor Ferguson

A couple years back I was really struggling mentally and having a falling out with some friends and you guys helped me stay positive and continue to find joy in life

Anita

hivemind taught me to talk about music with more detail, listen deeper, appreciate new genres of music, and most of all has given me a really weird sense of humor that always gets concerned looks from the people around me but gets them inexplicably laughing anyways <3

Meredithhh

The best comfort show I’ve ever found, even though it’s YouTube. I rewatch videos all the time like I binge watch my favorite shows. Made me genuinely happy and have something to look forward too. My 57 year old mom even loves you guys, we always watch your newest videos together.

Quinten

The videos genuinely brighten my days, I discovered Bob Dylan because of Graydon and have since become a huge fan and I also started smoking and it is so sick

Josh Deller

Dignan now appears in my dreams riding an antelope. He whispers in my ear “check your smoke detectors”

ZoeVisual

Hivemind has been a great source of entertainment and comfort during some of the most pivotal years of my life. I pretty consistently will play a bracket video to fall asleep to.

wyatt lucas

fitting my niche interests and others niche interests by trying to appeal to everyone and small little pockets, I really appreciate that I can watch hivemind as not a modern rap fan and still know a lot of what their talking about

Jacob Stinson

My music taste has expanded quite a lot! Also Dignan kidnapped everyone I held dear in my life, and the trauma has made me a more interesting person! Thanks guys! 💛💚🧡🩵

Barry Nolan

I've discovered a bunch of great music through the channel, and the videos are often times the best part of my day because of the laughs they always bring. I personally also find it so important to see people be so openly supportive of trans people and other minority groups, and I think it does wonders for fostering such a great community here.

Sam Bork

oh hell yeah!

Ryan

I lie to my friends more!

Cameron Gertonson

graydon has given me a much broader music taste, riley has improved my fashion sense, and grant helped me give a shit about soccer

Dakota Vaughn

it’s given me another incredibly unhealthy parasocial relationship i have to avoid. in all seriousness, you guys are awesome. you bring joy to my day and i’m super thankful for you all. silly little videos that can do so much in lifting my mood. it’s very much appreciated. love you boys.

jesse

It lets me steal jokes and say them to my friends as if i came up with them so they think im funny

Hanna

Hivemind is a lovely community and i found many beautiful friends through it I sometimes qoute bits that no one around me understands Shoutout to Grant streams they really helped me with depression at night cause i dont feel so alone at that time of the day anymore

João Cardoso

Hivemind opened a door that I never knew could be opened by getting me out of a slump and really helped me be more open to music in general and be able to express myself the way that I’ve always wanted to. It made me be more comfortable in my own skins and made me a lot of friends that share the same interests as me. You guys are genuinely the best youtube channel and I was put on to so many songs and artists that I never thought I would fall in love with. Thank you Riley, Graydon, Dignan, Grant and the rest of the crew!

Charlotte Bourdon

I've expanded and explored my music taste, and i've found comfort when i need a break from something i can turn on a random episode, i've watched atleast one video a day for around a year now, it's become a routine for me (i love routine)

verymanlymuppet

I take a poop in the toilet drink a Soylent

Maeve

Hivemind has broadened my music taste by a lot, introducing me to some of my favourite songs ever, the show has brought me comfort in many times I’ve needed it, and I’ve never laughed or had as much joy as I have while watching yall, proud to say I’ve managed to exist at the same time as hivemind, also pls tell dignan to give my family back

CJ

Made me laugh harder than I thought possible at my phone screen :) 🫶🏼

pashspice

well for one my roommate fucking hates you guys bc they hear your voice so often. i think ur show has given me a more well rounded music taste, lots of distraction, many a cackle, a new love for one liners, and a reliable comfort show shaped from familiar midwest white dude sensibilities (i am a white amab enby) also being firmly rooted in a politics of belonging and love that rejects white supremacy and patriarchy, which feels especially relevant when discussing music and culture. i also got really into idmthy my sophomore year and started studying queer ghost theory stuff which inspired a lot of my art and have met quadeca after two of his shows now and he gave me a big old hug after sharing what his album meant between me and my mom so i guess thanks for reintroducing him as someone not involved in a ksi beef. also i now use the word electric 800% more than i did before watching. lastly i am writing my final paper for my media analysis class on hivemind (don’t worry it’ll be posted on the subreddit when it’s done) (it’s two months late already and if i don’t finish it soon i can’t graduate). lastly lastly started watching my first semester of college, now in my last semester, and happy to be here for the ride. fucking glazer over here but yeah thanks yall

Ben Landerman

You guys are my comfort channel I recently lost my grandparents and when I needed a good laugh I'd turn on a video, you guys have also helped me expand my music taste, lastly too you guys have just kinda shaped my comedy over the 5 or so years I've been subscribed to you guys

fantasyfool

I don't think I would've ever listened to a full Kendrick album if it wasn't for Hivemind, I didn't care about hiphop before. Now MMATBS is my favorite album ever, and because of that album I made some huge changes in my life, including taking initiative in the healing of my family. Hivemind told me "this guy will change your life" and then he actually did.

Griffin Hampton

i used to think about how i felt about music before giving music takes, now i just copy what you guys say. life is so much easier now.

MEATMEATMEAT

my music taste has definitely expanded a lot. last year i had to move to a city that was not close to the one i grew up in, so i knew nobody (plus i was recovering from major surgery). hivemind got me new friends online but also gave me laughs and gave me something to do while recovering

hte11561

I have found some amazing music thanks to y’all and I made some of my best friends in the live chat.

SleepSam

I found you guys at around the time I rediscovered my passion for music and now I’m annoying when it comes to music opinions. Also when I met Riley it gave me something to fan girl about as 20 year old man

Alyssia

You guys have no idea the amount of stuff I've been through the past year, and the fact that I found a channel to just be there, no controversy, no political talk, just two friends goofing around for an hour or 2 while they talk about things they're genuinely interested in. It really helped take my mind off of everything going on around me, and it was a wonderful breath of fresh air from the usual content you consume every day. I genuinely just want to thank you guys for getting me through one of the hardest points of my life, and I appreciate you guys so much. 💜

X

Negatively ❤️

Alex Wekesser

Expanding my music taste, making me laugh just about everyday, and makes me feel like being a part of a community. Love yall!

Justin Dobry

The time y’all took me to Dollywood changed my life

Carson Rice

made me want a mustache i think

Benji Wagner

hivemind is like heroin. so good but it definitely has ruined my life. i cannot talk to everyday people anymore im too locked in on dignan

LilSoapBar

You guys never fail to make me laugh. I fall asleep to you guys a lot or will end a long, hard day with a video. Doesn't matter how bad I feel about my current situation You all give me an escape for a couple hours and couldn't be more thankful.

delrizzy

you guys have really expanded my music knowledge and i've found some of my favourite artists through watching your videos. Laughed til my stomach hurt so many times and my day honestly gets better whenever I see a new video pop up in my feed. I seriously don't think there's any other creators doing it like you guys, plz keep it up <3

Chris Parmigiani

i now have a crippling fear of little people with mustaches

Baby

sounds kinda corny but I think I’ve gotten way better at doing bits and weird jokes and laughing more in general. Also, you guys have expanded my taste in music and I finally found some content on yt that I actually resonate with. I’ve also experienced severe brain damage and a deep, deep hate towards Big Sean.

Kelso Meeks

Hivemind has completely changed how i listen to music and what i listen to. I am so much more curious about music now; that's so important to me. I also feel like i am funnier now because my friends and I aren't as nervous about doing bits. Additionally, no one has seen my hair in about 6 months because I always wear hats now.

Jon

Introduced me to all kinds of new music, pop culture, and creators. I’ve watched so much hivemind it’s changed my vocabulary and I think no doubt made me a funnier person.

John

Put me on to Quadeca which really changed my life. You guys are what made me listen to I didn’t mean to haunt you and it instantly became my favorite album I’ve ever heard and to this day is the only album I’ve cried to on first listen. I think it probably saved my life and I thank you guys for showing it to me and your audience in general (and ofc thank you to quad for making it lol)

Michelle MacMaster

Introduced me and my friends to so much cool music, always excited when you guys post a video or go live. Love the newsletter too we look forward to it every week.

Sasha D

Found your channel on accident and haven’t been the same since. Your videos are so fun and I genuinely get so excited when I see you’ve released a new one! Although I wish there were more main channel ones these days. Also Im a sucker for good merch so yeah, solid choice with Copes I have spent a lot of money! Also you introduced me to Quadeca and I’m obsessed with his music now too!

crumchky

my earwax production rate has nearly tripled since watching 👍

Fabio D.

I will forever be single now cause i wont find a girl in Germany who will watch hivemind blockbusters with me. ig its fine though, at least i got the perfect soundtrack now

Sydnee Collins

Dignan gave me a new kidney and saved my dad by giving him alcoholism

Em

put me onto ally evenson. and i’m more annoying now.

maybenikhil

graydon taught me how to play pool grant put me onto MIKE and Faye Webster I actually listen to drain gang bc of riley

Enya

Cheap seats has led me to know random American football stats from this season, but still have 0 clue what a touchdown is (also the music stuff ofc)

charlie gott

Hivemind lowkey changed my life

Parker Rundquist

Can’t remember the first video I saw, but I discovered Hivemind at a very low point in my life. Depression and Anxiety at an all time high, and this group of fellas never fails to bring me joy. If I’m having a really bad day, I put on a bits bracket video and it gets me laughing my ass off immediately. I’ve found so much incredible music from you guys, and the friendships you have between yourselves, guests, the people behind the camera, and especially that freak Dignan are so special. I recently saw the old interview with Bobby Caldwell, and seeing the progression to where the channel has gone is absolutely incredible. Love y’all, keep it up

Josh

Seriously I've been going through some rough times as of recent and watching Hivemind can give me an escape from reality oftentimes. I can find comfort in watching the videos that you all release especially after a bad day. I've found some amazing songs through your recommendations (specifically Blue and Moody Music) that have expanded my growing love for music. I always look forward to watching the brackets where y'all will talk about music non-stop for hours. I've been a fan of Hivemind since early 2022, and it has been such a journey honestly. I look forward to future videos! Thank you all so much for making my life a little more bearable.

Mykaela Beattie

Hivemind videos are my favorite, go-to comfort videos to watch. They always make me laugh and make my day a little bit better, even if it was a shit day. I’ve also discovered some new music which is awesome. Watching funny Hivemind compilations/videos while high is one of my favorite things to do lol

Kara

I have discovered an endless array of music through Hivemind, and their humor brightens my mood on the saddest of days. I’ll show clips from the channel to my friends, and we have inside jokes from it now :) the crimes that Dignan has committed also makes me feel better about mine.

Thndrstrike

You put me on to Snow Strippers hella early and keep me laughin

ella

it helps me fall asleep (in a nice way)

Teshiky

I started gooning

César Contreras

All jokes aside your channel has brought me so much joy, so glad I randomly found you on tiktok making tier lists. Now it's one of the few channels I regularly look forward to watching on youtube.

Broyd

Gave me tons of songs to do blow to

Donovan Wilson

Hey i think this was my suggestion! I mean shit man y’all have made some of the lowest points of my last 4-5 years bearable. Me & my brother saw y’all in nyc & i was fucking shaking at the meet & greet. The world is terrifying right now & its comforting to have a show where i can escape that while knowing we share similar values.

ian

Ever since I found Hivemind, and even more so now, it's always been one of the few highlights of my day when you guys release a new video. For quite some time, your guys' videos have been a great escape from reality for me and have helped fill the void of joy and excitement that I have had in my life for the past couple of years. Keep on doing what you're doing <3.

Thode

put me on some heat, been lovin bright eyes

ethan 🦫

graydon put me on the starbucks girl and now i have a wife and kids with 3 komodo dragons

Fabiana Bracho

Your channel has brought me so much joy over the past couple years, especially in my harder or lonelier moments. I’ve listened to so much of my now favorite music, gotten more into live music, and become more outgoing because of you guys. thanks for all you do :)) <33

Ezra Cohen

Completely changed my music taste

Merrin Monteith

This is one of the few channels where I genuinely laugh at the content and always look forward to the next video. Y'all have also put me onto some great music and helped expand my music taste. I'm glad I stumbled upon the Shrek rave video a few months ago and found you hooligans <3

Alexander

fr man told a girl i haven’t even been on espn top 10 plays and got hit with the digga was ist eigentlich falsch mit dir

Amy

I say “electric” all the time now and got way more into hip hop

CamBam Thank You Ma’am

My life was absolutely horrible before I found your videos, it’s worse now. So thanks, I guess

Jay Newell

I got massively back into music and genuinely look forward to every video and newsletter. You make me genuinely laugh in my room alone all my housemates think I’m going insane

robert f

“TRUUUUUEEEE” has been permanently added to my vocabulary

Alex

Hivemind is the greatest content on YouTube and it has made me laugh and smile countless times. I can’t express how excited I am to see every new upload, and joining this patreon was 100% worth it. Thanks for the joy joy joy Riley Graydon Grant and friends, GLORY!

Jackie K

being sappy here but it’s helped me connect and bond more with my fiancé. we love to watch youtube videos together while we eat dinner and hivemind is one of our go-tos. we also always reference bits to each other randomly and it makes us crack up every time

Shannon Feeley

We're all mosaics of the people who touch our lives. I have Riley to thank for the DIA and Clairo. And Graydon's the reason my dog is always "off the gabapentin"

Adam

Definitely has had a huge impact on my sense of humor and I’ve stepped up my impression game. I’ve definitely watched more hivemind in the past 4 years than anything else so you could definitely say hivemind is my rock.

acadia

One time I got a hivemind cameo and my life has never been the same

Alli Henderson

Genuinely has brought me many laughs in some dark times and put me onto some music I probably would’ve never sought out myself. I’ve had Graydon’s Jazz Playlist on loop for sometime now

Mike O

Been watching since late 2020 and honestly biggest take away is for however long a certain video you guys put out it’s an escape from whatever is going on that particular day. You guys have put me on to different artists, albums, and other content creators. Had the pleasure of going to a live show and meeting the fellas after which was a meaningful moment I’ll cherish. Between music, movies, sports, or whatever shit you guys cover it truly is a space safe and one I always look forward to be in and return to.

mars

lots of giggles and funnies

homesick

been watching since 2020 when i was a junior in highschool. love this channel so much and every video. influenced a lot of my music taste and made me feel less alone with what artists i like. i always felt like hivemind’s community has provided a safe space and fun space for artists, neurodivergents, the lgbtq+ community and enjoyers of funny jokes. As i’ve gotten older i still tune into every video. i’ve developed a strange parasocial relationship with yall but if yall met me i like to think yall would like my vibe. regardless the channel is just good fun

Caitlin Harvey

You guys are like awsome and I never get tired of watching you guys like ive been a fan since i was a senior in hs in 2022 and like i still love you guys just as much if not more and you have such a diverse fan base which is fasinating but like awstometown

errmmy

genuinely saved my life :sobs: i think ive watched every video like 5 times over by now

Pat

Yall make my days better. Put me on to so much music and I reference you to everyone, even if they don’t watch you.

aaronmassei🪲

Definitely opened my music taste to not just listening to Kendrick Lamar and The Beatles, I found Nick Drake, Deangelo, bright eyes and became a massive Bob Dylan fan to the point where i own most of his records on vinyl now. Also just seem like the funniest nicest people even though the humour in the uk is very different. I’m always rewatching the videos and it’s always a highlight of the week coming home from college and seeing you guys have uploaded!

AK

been watching for like 5 years now. as a lover of music and comedy this show immediately scratched every itch in my brain and i never looked back. my vocabulary has definitely been impacted, i say “a dillion” a lot now lol. ive participated in some community stuff like a youtube poop collab where a bunch of editors came together and made their own ytp segments of your videos. ive sent my music in for a live stream reaction and it got some kind words which was really appreciated. have also hooked some friends on the show and now we have more stuff to talk about and laughs to share. anyway yall are awesome take care <3

the balance in your content is ever-evolving, and the fact that you openly talk about “too many bits” or whatever it is, listening to your community while being able to fuck with them and joke around is key for me. you make the darkest thoughts forgettable for a moment through music and comedy, while staying cognizant of the communities/issues that need to be taken seriously. thank you<3 so much love

as a white guy from metro detroit, its nice to see some representation ahaha

Dylloni

Well you have introduced me either directly or indirectly to 6 of my top ten albums of all time (most notably porter Robinson and Quadeca’s music) and the sheer positive impact that that music has had on me it impossible to quantify. It might have genuinely saved my life and I know it for sure has made me a better person and I owe that to you guys I feel. I remember encountering the channel in late 2021 and since then your videos have been a constant thing to look forward to and to help brighten even my darkest days and I am so eternally grateful to you for helping to make me who I am today.

You can really feel the passion you guys have for sharing the music you love and it's super inspiring!! The way you guys talk about your favorite songs or albums is super infectious; it just makes me think "damn this music shit really is awesome"!! One of my biggest inspirations for starting my own channel, doing my own reviews and sharing my own favorites :P

bossferatu

You guys have helped me through some hard times and its nice to see that not every youtuber is a conservative sellout

I’ve been watching hivemind for 4 years at this point. Something about this channel I just never get tired of. It’s been so interesting because when I started watching, I knew about 5% of the music you guys would talk about, but I just loved the vibes and decided I would listen to you talk about anything. Since then, my music taste has expanded so much and I get so excited to hear what you have to say about new albums I love, or any music I have come to love overtime. (You guys are even the reason for some of the concerts i’ve gone to in the last couple years.) The community is so amazing and being in a premiere stream or live stream is so much fun. This channel has always been a comfort watch for me to escape whatever is going on in the world, but also remind myself that it’s going to be ok. I also forced my best friend to watch a couple years ago, and now she loves it just as much as i do. I love you guys and love supporting you! it’s been awesome to watch you grow! Thank you!

Izzie McGinley Myers

Helped me get closer to my roommate, when we first moved in together we watched your videos all the time and I got him a cameo for Christmas. Now we have lived together for almost two years and he is my best friend!

Blue☆

Genuinely, when I started watching y’all in 2019/20 it was just a silly little video that I could watch and then move on. However, since then I have found some of my best friends and it is in part because of you guys. The community surrounding all of you is one of the most accepting communities online. I have also found artists that I probably never would have found that have now shaped my music taste (shoutout ally, teezo, and quad). I can’t even begin to thank y’all enough for that.🫶🏻

Your videos have made a really meaningful difference during some very hard times in my life. I discovered your channel about 2 years ago and I have been going through some very dark stuff during that period of time, but every time I see that there’s a new hivemind video I know I can put all my problems aside and thoroughly enjoy a new video. I can’t overstate how much having your videos as a source of comfort has helped me through this difficult period of my life. The length of the videos and fast paced style serves as such a powerful tool to overcoming my life’s difficulties, and your style of comedy is so in tune with mine that I find myself constantly laughing out loud, filling my heart with joy. I feel less alone when I turn on hivemind, knowing I can watch and appreciate your friendly dynamic. In short I just appreciate you guys so much for making content and it has truly helped make my life more enjoyable. Cheers

grandpa

Main channel stumbled into my algorithm, felt like i needed new content to take in and shortly after found myself in a community that accepted and welcomed me, in a time where i really needed a pick me up. Thx hivemind, thx chatters. Love you all

abby

real as hell 💯

emily

love u grandpa!!!

emily

we love u blue

Hanna

Omg es gibt natürlich keine deutschen weiblichen Hivemind fans hier you can find someone if you try lol

Nathan Stremcha

The first summer that I was living alone, I had some digestive issues, so I was trying to be better about making good meals. I would put on a Hivemind video and just take my time cooking and eating, the hour long videos would end up being a good length for this whole process. This routine really improved my relationship with eating, and it gave me two fun roommates who were just around to tell jokes at dinner and not bother me the rest of the day lol.

Angus Withee

Lost my best friend to suicide around the time I found your channel. We used to do rankings of random things like you do on Unlimited. These videos really helped me feel less alone and stay connected with the memory of my best friend.

fynzyme

i found you guys in like september 2023 through the clip of dababy no condom vs freddie mercury from the worst songs 2 bracket and that got me to watch the whole video. i was immediately hooked and since then your videos are probably like 70% of what i watch on youtube, including a lot of rewatching. my sense of humour already aligned pretty well with riley's but i feel like it's really amplified since then and i've become so much better at bouncing off other people. also just the amount of music i've been introduced to and educated on, especially through the sample games, has been fascinating. particularly as someone has never been super captivated by a lot of rap music, you guys have really helped me learn to appreciate certain artists like kendrick, tyler, yeat and hopsin <3

Addi

You guys have shaped my music taste and sense of humor so much. I know so much more about music and have a significantly worse sense of humor!

Sanna

In 2022, while enduring one of my worst bouts of chronic illness ever (endometriosis heads where you at🙂‍↕️🤟), your guys’ “ultimate album tier list” vid was on my homepage. I have watched every video on every channel since. Hivemind provided escape, comfort, and laughs during many painful, bedridden days. I’m happy to report that I’m basically 100% pain free now; My life has changed a lot and the channel has changed a lot, yet my love and appreciation for the content y’all make is still the same <3

Sanna

I’ve had two glasses of wine so best believe it’s sappy hours

nodive

hivemind has helped me discover so many new artists and songs, and with that i’ve gotten better and more confident talking about music (am now pretentious about my music taste) and my love of sharing music with people has grown tenfold since discovering you guys in mid 2022? i think? anyway love you all even hank

nodive

also graydon i extend my invite for doing pingas with me at music festival in perth to you

Zack

I have some Shirts I wouldnt have otherwise.

Caleb L

Hivemind has given a sense of community to me that I haven’t felt from an online fanbase in a long while. It has brought me to discover so many songs and artists and widen my taste in music significantly. I love y’all 😛😛

KamiArcane

You've become one of my favorite youtubers now and exposed me and made me aware of alot more new music. Im just thankful I got to find your channel as something to share with friends and watch, you've helped encourage me to go further into getting into more music and art in general, thank you hivemind!

Joe Human

I use you guys as subway surfers while im gaming and now i hear Grant’s laugh in my dreams :(

Patty K

You guys are my favorite thing to put on during lunch on a stressful work day, can always count on you boys for a good laugh!

Olivia Cait

My sense of humor and t-shirts are now incomprehensible to everyone around me x (and I have a weird love for boys with bobs)

Olivia Cait

no but actually nothing cheers me up as much as your videos and it has been getting me through a pretty dark and lonely period of life. i'm so greatful for you boys and the whole amazing community ❤️

venus murray

bought a dan marino jersey for a steely dan costume pun for halloween. plus i know more about football this season than my boyfriend lol.

BJbut without the B

I was a kid in hs watching rap reactors listening to Eminem, NF, and Tom McDonald and then I started watching hivemind and stopped being a stuck up loser who didn't know he was being fed right wing propaganda and started listening to every artist Riley and Graydon even mentioned and now I'm basically sick asf and so fucking hot (6'4, Lana Del Ray vinyl owner btw)

kali

you guys genuinely like changed everything for me that sounds dramatic but your channel is honestly what got me into the music i listen to now and i have met so many friends, gone to so many concerts, and had so many insane experiences because of it. also the best thing to watch while eating or cleaning or sitting in my bed like i can’t fathom that i used to not know this channel existed. also crazy to think i started on the mf travis scott bracket and am now deep into years of lore

JP

A coworker told me I should watch Hivemind because I "like rap music and kinda look like Riley" and the rest is history. You guys expanded my music library and general music knowledge far beyond what I ever imagined. My humor and fashion sense have improved (debatable tbh.) I was able to talk football with my friends for the first time in my life. You guys are my go-to entertainment whether I'm eating, gaming, sleeping, etc. I try to replicate your comradery and chemistry with my own friends. And most of all I just really appreciate how inclusive and respectful you guys are of everyone. I've introduced a lot of people to Hivemind. Genuine guys with amazing content. Thank you for all the years of laughs!

Fabio D.

i've never even met a hivemind fan irl yet xD

Joe Kennedy

the “hivemind” of it all continues to floor me as more videos come out, its the little things that make it effortless to be tapped in. from the wordplay bits that grabbed me and made me a fan since day one, to the little things recently like riley’s love of the shins and other indie music that was super formative for me. not to mention graydon’s love of classic funk, soul & jazz and whenever it’s referenced tends to remind me of listening to music with my mum. plus being allies and based af is pretty sweet

Ssouplady

To be genuine I’ve had a really difficult time with my health over the last few months while getting diagnosed with and getting used to living with chronic illness and it’s so nice to have something that will always make me laugh with a nearly endless amount of content on the internet

Sammy Garcia

I remember finding hivemind on tik tok in like 2021 and then making the decision to look you up on youtube, ever sense then your guys videos have fueled most of my awake hours, I don’t remember a meal or a night before bed where I didn’t watch you guys. In a big way your channel in my lifr

Vace Diesel

It's given me a new-found love for music, and helped me discovery artists I wouldn't find otherwise. Also, now I have so many references/quotes that nobody else will ever understand :^)

CamBam Thank You Ma’am

Even though I know it’s wrong, I can’t stop calling the movie “Feriss Buelers BIG Day Off”

jardinhope

I just like listening to y’all yap in the background while I do daily tasks instead of listening to my own thoughts. Cheers fellas!

Maksim

Mainly you guys helped me branch out my taste in music. I used to only listen to trap and like mainstream pop music. Some day I decided that enough is enough and I had to find different genres for my self and a friend of mine back then always talked about Kaycyy. And as I looked him up your video reacting to a song of his got recommended to me. And since I loved your vibe I just continued watching your videos and I’m still here. Now I listen to basically everything especially jazz rnb and soul (thanks for that Graydon)

Beefy

My wife hates me because I am always watching your videos or referencing your bits, but I’m also now dripped from head to toe in Hivemind merch, which she also hates.

Kyle Cahill

you guys more or less influenced my sense of humor nowadays which I will always be grateful for

Zapper

Same here! A little different route but they opened my eyes to so much good new music.

Daniel Rice

6 years of permanently altering my brain chemistry and filling my head with daddy’s fancy boat and a revolving cast of characters (because it’s a really good deal)

Namensdieb

I know I can always watch a Hivemind video, no matter my mood or how my day is going. It also helped me define my personality over the last few years and I felt seen and accepted in this community and now I feel more like myself than ever before ❤️❤️❤️

götze

I found out that copes website I was buying sick merch from was actually a person

Carson Taylor

I found yall when I was going through a tough breakup a year and a half ago and there was so many videos and so much lore for me to dive into that I could forget about all my problems. Not to get to grim but a friend of mine took his life not too long ago and you guys really reminded me of the two of us. I am now fully entrenched in everything hivemind and all my friends know it and my girlfriend and I even make movie nights out of long bracket videos. You guys really help so much. Much love 🫶

Ben McGuigan

Dignan was the best man at my wedding

Tiago Rocha

Not hivemind directly but hivemind showed me copes and my drip game has been on point ever since

Cody S

Helped me bond with my brother! We share this goofy sense of humor

Ethan Kuntz

Got me into rap music and changed the way I think about comedy and friendships. I don’t think my transition into college life would’ve been near as positive without you guys.

Dani_Jean_17

Hivemind genuinely was one of the only things that brought me joy when I was stuck in bed for several months having heart issues, thanks for all the laughs guys <3

Yew Nevano

Introduced me to so many artists inlcuding Bob Dylan, SALEM and more. Graydon really turned me into a world music prick, I have been on Erasmo Carlos and Alberto Baldan Bembo for the last few months and their music is addicting. Also check out Garoto, Marco Castello and Cortex if you want to good, slightly niche jazz world music.

Isaiah Ford

"Hivemind lowkey saved my life". You've all helped my through some tough times with mental and physical health and have created a channel that I feel comfortable supporting because you guys aren't afraid to be actually good people and support things like trans right and palestinian relief as well as prop up all your talented friends and uplift your communities. Hope this doesn't sound too parasocial 🤠

Emily

missed the notif so it’s too late for this to be in the video but it’s worth saying i discovered hivemind at a pivotal point, right before a breakup and right before entering college. there’s been times yalls vids have been the only thing to make me laugh for a couple days. whenever im feeling down, ill put on one of those hivemind bits compilations and it has never failed to raise my spirits. also wore the fish merch to the gym the other day and had a nice convo with a fellow fan who recognized it :) also became a waaaayyy funnier person lol

tess

goodnight blue!

Blue☆

goodnight tess!

mack!

put me on so many songs, made me so much funnier, gave me content to fixate on when i needed it, plus introduced me to quadeca’s music that helped me process some of the hardest losses in my life! my favorite funny guys on the phone!

Goldilocks

I just got the patreon subscription and this is too late, but I discovered Hivemind through the Tyler The Creator Song bracket and thought it was very great and ever since Hivemind has provided a lot of laughs, fun games and great new music for me to listen to. Specifically the Favorite Songs Bracket got me into so many of my favorite albums and artists. I can really watch any video from them at any time and immediately feel great. Thank you so much Hivemind. <3

Riley looks so christian girl autumn in this pic its cracking me tf up
