@VKohliPaglu Bruh, Tobi just describing a time commitment like everyone with normal jobs has to do. Our gripe isnt that he cut this time commitment, it’s that he could have cut so many of his other’s commitments over Sidemen.
With all due respect, if KSI truly chose to leave the Sidemen, like that? Then that’s just really weird and disappointing.
What the Sidemen have achieved is something no other group on YouTube has ever managed to replicate: seven friends building and sustaining a global brand together for over 13 years. That’s history. And that is what is called “Legacy”
If KSI was willing to walk away like this before countless of other opportunities or commitments, it’s hard not to feel let down as a fan since day 1. Professional athletes often compete until their late 30s or even 40s because they understand the value of being part of something bigger than themselves. In many ways, the Sidemen are literally the YouTube equivalent of a legendary football team.
So if the decision is really to just leave and make a dramatic “sad” farewell video, it feels really unnecessary and immature.
It’s just really sad to see that KSI would rather create yt shorts mainly targeted for a children’s audience. And make videos to get “more views than the sidemen” really disrespectful if that’s his goal.
Personally, I’m not worried at all about the future. The Sidemen have built something far bigger than any one individual. If KSI genuinely wants to just leave the group like that, then so be it.
I’m so gassed and excited to see how Harry, Simon, Josh, Ethan, Tobi and Vikram will continue and accomplish together.
@rulik228505 Nothing wrong with wanting more time. What bothers me is the Sidemen built the platform that led to Prime, boxing, music, and TV. If something had to go, I’d think the thing built with your best friends over 13 years would be the last thing to leave, not the first.
@sdmnfcupdates@Sidemen Nothing wrong with wanting more personal time. What bothers me is the Sidemen built the platform that led to Prime, boxing, music, and TV. If something had to go, I’d think the thing built with your best friends over 13 years would be the last thing to leave, not the first.

@BoxBoxAndStop In that clip, someone could go wide and the battle kept going. Now it’s like 1 corner, 1 move, runs him wide, battle’s over for 2–3 laps. There’s gotta be a way to prolong wheel-to-wheel fights. Going wide feels way harsher now—bigger curbs, tighter gravel.
