Will Gold Posts First Video To Wilbur Soot YouTube Channel In Two Years

Will Gold posted to his Wilbur Soot Youtube channel for the first time in over two years this past Thursday (19th June). In the nearly six-minute long video, Gold touches on several things that both Wilbur Soot and Lovejoy fans have been wanting to know. 

We have transcribed the most important part for you:

“Hello people of 2025, I hope you’ve all been well. This video is going to be a bit of a different one for me. I’ve never been very good at update videos, but this channel’s been inactive for so long I thought one was probably well overdue.

“So, I wanted to take this opportunity to quickly talk about what I’ve been up to the past couple of years, what you can expect from me going forward, and of course, future YouTube content.

“I’ve been really quite busy these past few months so I haven’t really had that much to show you guys anyway, but as most of you probably already know that isn’t the only reason I’ve been so quiet.

“So, if you wouldn’t mind, I’d like to take a quick minute to touch on that before I move into what the future holds.

“There’s been a lot of different clashing labels and opinions about me on the internet over the past year. The loudest of which, on both sides of the fence, have been quite unhealthy, stemming from accusations made about me from just over a year ago.

“Look, I’m not here to drop any bombshells. I don’t want to reopen any old discussions. I responded to the situation in February of last year, and I still stand by everything I said in that statement. I understand it was misinterpreted by some people – probably due to my wording – and I know some people are still looking for clarity, especially nowadays where personal transparency is more common amongst content creators than it’s ever been before.

“However, this clarity, the clarity that I’ve offered to my close friends and my family would mean publicly sharing deeply personal parts of my private life and my relationships, with the internet. I’ve never been comfortable doing that, and I don’t believe that should be the cost of being understood.

“All I can say is that the labels that have been attributed to me by social media are not true, and I don’t accept them.

“I don’t believe in this expectation that content creators should use their platforms to attack and defend, and I definitely don’t think that’s how serious accusations should be handled. I’ve felt this way for a really long time now, having seen other content creators go through similar situations, and I know it’s not a perspective that is going to satisfy everyone, but it’s one I can get behind, and I hope that makes sense to you.

“None of this is me trying to dig up or dwell on the past here, I would just feel very strange if I carried on without at least acknowledging the past year, because all I can do now is move forward, and I hope you enjoy what I’ve been working on.”

Gold went on to detail Lovejoy’s 2024 touring schedule – Japan, Thailand, Australia, United States, and the United Kingdom – which was well documented through their behind the scenes channel, r/lvjy.

He talked about how the band wrote a few tracks, but then “in classic fashion, scrapped all of those tracks” which ended up turning into the band’s first record, due out later this year. He’s not allowed to say the date.

He brought up ‘With Rob As My Witness,’ and gave details as to where fans could pre-save the song (as this video was posted the day before the release of the single). And there will be a music video.

Will Gold confirms that there will be more live shows and festivals happening this year, most of which haven’t been announced yet.

Gold finally addressed the fact that he will be returning to YouTube, he will not be returning to Minecraft. 

He’s moving his content back onto his ‘new’ old channel, which he made back in 2017, while his music covers, and everything else will remain up on his now ‘old’ channel. He also said that he’s now working on the geography series he had the idea to do a while back.
