The German content creator Julien Bam was known on YouTube for a long time for producing high-quality videos. They were short films loved by the community. Now the YouTuber talks about what these elaborate productions meant to him.
What conclusion does Julien Bam draw? Julien Bam was known for a long time on YouTube for producing elaborate short films with his team. The price the YouTuber had to pay for his videos was apparently his mental health.
After completing his main videos, which he uploaded for years, the YouTuber fell into an emotional hole and extreme inner emptiness. For the very first time, he says he heard his own thoughts, and adds:
And the thing is, I couldn’t enjoy all this silence at all because I had programmed my brain for 12 years to think there are only two states: full throttle or existential crisis. There was nothing in between for me. Other people have hobbies, I had deadlines; other people finished work and I was like:
Finished work? Is that a new editing program?, and that’s funny until it’s not funny anymore.

What exactly did Julien Bam do on YouTube? The YouTuber Julien Bam created his namesake YouTube channel in 2012 and uploaded his first videos about 13 years ago. But even before that, Julien Bam appeared on YouTube, namely on the YouTube channel JuBaFilms, where he uploaded choreographed short films with two of his friends.
His enthusiasm for short films carried over to his main channel, where he produced elaborate sketches for a long time, such as Fairy Tales in Anti-Social
or Songs from the Bean
. These videos were very well received by the community, and Julien Bam became known on the platform as the YouTuber who invested enormous effort into his videos.
Seven years ago, he announced that he would soon stop his main videos on his YouTube channel and only produce a few. These few videos stretched until March 2025: Julien Bam uploaded the finale and thus ended the series and a staged enmity.
