Ashens was my first subscription on YouTube years and years ago. You rock Stuart, here's to the next 15 years of tat.

Nothing but love and respect to you man. While some go and make themselves very irrelevant, by moving way too far from what brought them to the dance in the first place, you stayed true by rarely straying away from Tat on Brown Sofa thing.

I'm glad you've survived your encounters with questionable food products, so far.

I like to kneel down and eat food off of the sofa to pretend I'm Ashens.

I read this as an actual letter and in Stuart's voice... I hope I wasn't the only one.

This channel has been like this weird, comforting constant in my life for about 11 years now, and I hope it never ends!

Imagine, it's the year 2036, all of Youtube is corrupted by drama and bad music, all of OG's are gone, but there is still Ashens, sitting in front of his sofa, still reviewing tat and eating old food, still has the same old intro. Ashens will never die, he is the true OG youtuber, he never changed.

I've read the whole post in my head with Ashens voice and accent.

Congratulations, Stuart! You have been a bastion of quality and consistency over these 15 years. I look forward to many more years of tat.

You made me laugh harder and more often than any other person, Stuart. Thank you very much for that.

It’s like a time warp. I started watching your videos when you first launched them, took a decade long gap, and came back last year. And there was that couch! Thank you for keeping it real!

Hello!
Just wanted to use this weird message system to say a big THNAKS (It's like "thanks", only spelled incorrectly) for all your kind words about the 15th anniversary of Ashens. It's good to know there'll still be people around watching my next 850 videos because THE TAT MUST FLOW.
There is an odd coincidence in the anniversary stuff too. I was expecting to celebrate two milestones this year - 15 years, and half a billion views. Except... the channel hit half a billion views the exact same day as the 15th anniversary! So we'll have to hold out for 750,000,000 which will take about another 8 years or so. Ho hum. I'll make sure the Funk Spindle has fresh batteries for then.
Thinking about it, it's not the only time-related coincidence we had. We started shooting Ashens and the Polybius Heist exactly 7 years to the minute from the time we started shooting Quest for the GameChild! What are the chances of that?!
...About 1 in 261, as we never start shooting on a weekend and we always start day one at a sensible time in the morning. (Incidentally, if you want any physical discs of our films jump over to ashensmovie.com quicksmart - they're only available for about 26 hours from the time I'm sending this message and I don't know when / if they'll be back.)
I look forward to to the next weird coincidence. Maybe I'll put up a video about a new POP Station the same moment scientists work out how people can fire their arms and legs at each other.
Stay groovy and remember: if you fancy some more Ashens-y nonsense I do live shows on Twitch every Wednesday at 8:30pm and Sundays at 8pm, all UK time. Wednesdays are interactive quizzes and weird games, Sundays are guests and mostly laughing at old consumer catalogues. twitch.tv/ashens (Sunday streams are likely to stop when the pandemic is over but Wednesdays are forever.)
Take care folks,
Stuart.
