Though he is forced to juggle classwork and YouTube, Jon continues to upload videos every few months. He uploaded a video in 2014 called "After Ever After 2," which helped him reach 2 million subscribers. He then proceeded to 3 and 4 million subscribers and became the host of YouTube's Streamy Awards in the 2017 where he was well recepted for his work.
