Were you not about when Clint was coming up with sticker ideas? It was Swiss who pointed out how an L in close proximity to an I could cause mirth

I've clearly become a dirty minded continental European since moving over here.

you gonna get more hate than love with that name...

But any publicity is good publicity?

 

[Marbro_za]

I wouldnt really go that route though,

Yes and no. Might bring a few people to see what it's about but it could also alienate a more.

Maybe a channel trailer that says "Why I'm not that Jake"

I see a lot of valid points, but what came to mind to me aswell is that it will be very hard for him to be found on YouTube. As Jakethegardensnake will probably drown out your videos. You might get some accidental clicks though. But it's not an easy way to go. I was tempted to go with RidingwithTim but decided not to as I just didn't want to compete with the name. (also pretty sure it'll be taken by now)

Also - Feel a bit bad for the OP but doesn't the main Jake run his channel as a business now? Its his only income?

That is correct Obviously his income is from both his channel and the merchandise and Patreon he set up. But, yes.

Well I'll leave everyone with that then... ha but its risky if you're setting up a user thats the same as another, and doing pretty much the same thing...

And if this Jake thinks he might change his name, then it's far better to do it sooner rather than later...

I wasn't serious . I think it's a terrible idea to go with a blatant rip-off, intentional or not, of one of the biggest motovlogger's names. It will either create a lot of unnecessary drama or it will stunt the growth of the channel, or both
