ImJayStation

Jason Matthew Ethier (born: February 14, 1990 [age 34]), better known online as ImJayStation (or simply JayStation), is a Canadian former YouTuber who was primarily known for his controversial 3AM ouija board challenge videos.
==History==
Jason's original JayStation channel had earned 475,000 subscribers before being shut down. He continued to create content on the ImJayStation channel, which had 6 million subscribers. He launched his original channel in June of 2015.
==Personal life==
Jason has a sister named Jacqueline who doesn't appear in his videos. Jason lives in Ottawa, Canada, but goes to the United States and other countries for more haunted adventures. He is incredibly similar to the youtubers N&A productions, and Vladimir Obama.
In a video made by penguinz0 titled "Jaystation Is The Biggest Douchebag", Charlie researched Jason and found that he worked at a Costco with his mother. He also read a Facebook post talking about the kind of person Jason is, on Jason's Facebook account, by one of his friends. This post, however, is confirmed as unverified information by Charlie, but states "all of it sounds totally in line with the kind of person Jason appears to be, based on his videos". The post states that Jason was the most complained about employee in the Costco he worked, having more suspensions and complaints than any other employee in that Costco's history; emotionally abuses to his ex-girlfriend; keys a woman's car because her daughter, a coworker of Jason, didn't break up with her boyfriend for him; harasses everyone he came in contact with; and pushes everyone away in his life, including his own mother.https://youtu.be/2QB1Ghekfb0?t=126
==Controversies==
===Stolen Fortnite gameplay===
On February 4, 2018, Jason uploaded a video "DO NOT PLAY FORTNITE AT 3 AM", and which he "plays" Fortnite at 3 AM. However, it was found out the gameplay that was shown was not his, it was from a small YouTuber known as Le_ChosE CZ.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quuvUmPJaVU There were additional differences to when Jason was using Le_ChosE CZ's gameplay:
*Le_ChosE CZ was playing on PC, while Jason was using an Xbox controller when "playing".
*Le_ChosE CZ's gameplay was in October 2017, and Jason made the "gameplay" video in February 2018.
*The gameplay was before Fortnite's major change to the map, adding new locations weeks after Jason uploaded his "gameplay".
Jason has responded to Le_ChosE CZ and says "Fortnite owns the gameplay". Le_ChosE CZ responded saying "Fortnite Owns Fortnite, I own the gameplay".https://twitter.com/LeChosECZ/status/962186729863155712 As a few months passed by, the copyright takedown was successful and Jason's video was removed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_M87nQbJhQ
===Claims about being robbed===
On June 10, 2019, Jason claimed he was assaulted in his home and robbed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orbkZZyq4DU Three individuals, dressed in ski masks, barged into his house and brutally beat him, before robbing him of $1,200 Givenchy alligator shoes. They broke through his door while he was editing a video, and assaulted him, as well as holding a knife on him and demanding to know where his money and Rolex were. Jason received many bruises and a black eye from the assault, as well as a gash on his head. After assaulting him, the thieves chained Jason up in his basement and prepared to kill him with a sledgehammer. However, Jason was able to escape by taking his pants off (which the chains were attached to) and escape out the basement's window. On June 11, 2019, a video was released where Jason, now in an apartment, gives in-depth details on the robbery, as police began conducting their investigation. In the video, he claims that one of the assailants had already been arrested and put in jail, as well as revealing his plans to move from his house.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFiqD9coEDU
However, penguinz0 made a response to Jason's video saying that it was scripted and fake to gain attentionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTUtgP1_joE.
===Girlfriend's "death"===
On January 21, 2020, Jason uploaded two videos titled "My Girlfriend Alexia Died... *Rest in Paradise*" and "SAYING GOODBYE TO MY GIRLFRIEND ALEXIA (REST IN PARADISE)"; claiming that his girlfriend, Alexia Marano, died in a car accident. Many were quick to believe that Jason was lying, faking her "death" for views and called him out for it, including Keemstar; after Jason uploaded a video titled "LIE DETECTOR TEST TURNS INTO REAL BREAKUP!! (CHALLENGE)" on another channel, he shares with Alexia after the first video was uploaded.https://twitter.com/KEEMSTAR/status/1220274514442850304https://twitter.com/ClickedTazer/status/1220431301255344129
In the first video, many were quick to point out Jason's attempts at fake crying and criticizing him for shameless plugin his second channel "Dream Team", monetizing the video while adding a link to his merch. Many were also quick to point out and criticized Jason for saying his girlfriend's "dying wish" was for his second channel reach 1 million subscribers. YouTubers such as Ethan Klein from h3h3Productions, Charlie from penguinz0, and twomad heavily criticized Jason, calling him a "scumbag" and a "shit-eating parasite". Another YouTuber called TehMimi made a response, during which she revealed Jason flew over to Texas to hang out with a minor and share a hotel room with her, said minor in question stated that she stayed awake fearing Jason would have done something to her.https://youtu.be/BfiAzxW3UwY?t=54https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orYYuM73GdU
SomeOrdinaryGamers, among others, noted that after searching and asking about any reports, both Toronto Police and Ottawa Police confirmed that Alexia Marano was not involved in any car accident in Ottawa or Toronto.https://twitter.com/SFTPNews/status/1220427720015908864https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Rl3egnmUIhttps://twitter.com/OrdinaryGamers/status/1220269343616925697https://youtu.be/_9L_I0rUt2o?t=344
Kavos made a video with his reaction to the new videos by exposing Jason as an abusive, and manipulative control freak with no redeeming qualities. In the video, Kavos shows DMs of Jason to his ex-girlfriend, Aiko. In these DMs, Jason threatens her to drop out of school, mocks her and her family for being poor and tortures her to leak her details to get her to keep making videos with him. After not getting his way he leaked her number on Instagram. Aiko released a video of a phone call with him threatening her and planning to pay her ex-boyfriend to expose her in one of his videos.https://youtu.be/SVIEi9oBxpI?t=481
===Demonetization===
Roughly a week after Jason announced his hiatus, YouTube officially suspended monetization on Jason's main channel, due to his arrest on February 3rd on charges of assault and assault with a weapon.https://www.tubefilter.com/2020/02/25/youtube-jaystation-demonetization-hiatus/

Around Fall 2021, Jason began begging YouTube to bring back his channel. On September 16 he tweeted "Just spoke to Dr Phil! He said he could help me come back to youtube if I don’t make the same kind of videos as I did before! I want to make home renovation videos now. I won’t let you down Dr Phil thank you so much." followed by another tweet that said "I’ll let you know what will happen but guys I hope you understand I can’t make the same content anymore. I really want to make home renovation videos now. I am just thankful to get another opportunity. Dr. Phil said he will put me in touch with YouTube execs. Pray for me guys."
