Default What happened to The Jessa Channel?
The Jessa Channel who is mostly known for her sim content has been inactive in recent years and I wanted to know if anyone knew what happened to her and her channel

Maybe the Youtube algorithm just got to her in all the wrong ways - could be she needed a break from Youtube, found someplace else to post, or just doesn't post any longer.

Looks like she posted this video about a year back (it's linked in the "community" tab, and isn't under videos) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTXw23GGe8I&t=0s

(There's a big difference between just sharing stuff for fun, and being expected to post stuff to feed the algorithm and/or earn money and/or keep people happy. At some point it's no longer just fun, but it starts wearing you out - no idea if that's what happened in her situation, but kind of getting that vibe from the video. It's been happening a lot with long-time simmers lately, and it's no wonder, really. After a lot of time playing the same games, interest can wear out and you can easily get burnouts too - especially if you're more or less expected to push out content all the time, get peppered with more requests than you can get through, don't get enough recognition for what you do, and on top of that get complaints or surly comments. Some simmers just need a break - long or short - to step back a bit and get their head back on the right track, or maybe let things cool down a bit if things have been a bit heated. And some simmers step entirely away from the community for good, for a variety of reasons. It's sad to see people disappear from the community, but it happens).

I also miss her so much. During a very hard time in my life, her videos were the only thing that offered my escape which really helped me get though it. Hope she is doing well.

She will always be my favorite sim youtuber. I downloaded her earlier seasons in case she takes them down. (I have become a cynical data hoarder lately)

I miss her so much too. Those earlier seasons comfort me, even in my deepest depression, from time to time.

She hasn't been active here for a couple of years either- TheJessaChannel
I remember her being excited about Paralives though, so perhaps she'll be back again one day.

I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will
