==History==
===Early days on YouTube and old channel===
BlueJay originally joined YouTube as jaysillyboy on February 17, 2008 and would upload his first video on the same day. His original content consisted of plush videos and poor quality home videos reminiscent of that era of YouTube.
===Jacknjellify and becoming the first BFDI voter===
When the first episode of jacknjellify's Battle For Dream Island was released on January 1, 2010, the episode was just hours old and had very little views when Jay commented "Flower goes away!" to eliminate the character, making history in the object show community. He would create BFDI's first recommended character as well later in the year, the character being Bomby. He became a renowned member of the BFDI community and is still in it to this day. 
===Leaving the jaysillyboy channel and starting BlueJay===
Jacob stopped uploading to the jaysillyboy channel in 2013 and it was left dormant for 7 years. The BlueJay channel was created on April 7, 2014 though he wouldn't start uploading there until 2015. He came back to the jaysillyboy channel in 2020 to upload a video telling everyone it was archived and he doesn't use the channel anymore, also redirecting people to his new channel. 
===Rise in popularity===
By 2020, the BlueJay channel hadn't gained much traction, only reaching around 400 subscribers by August of that year. This would change when jacknjellify uploaded their "Tribute to Our First Commenter" video on August 7, 2020. 
This caused BlueJay's channel to explode in popularity, gaining nearly 6,000 new subscribers on August 7 alone. This caught him by surprise and he would quickly make a short animation addressing the sudden attention.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md7NTAbuxjM By the time he uploaded the video though, his channel had already soared past 12,000 subscribers and would continue to grow. As of June 2021, his channel has surpassed 21,000 subscribers.
