In 2021, he took a step back as new videos were under a thousand views. He only uploaded one video in February and in March he was looking forward to his normal schedule back in Fall 2020 by uploading one video per weekend. During the video "Plarail Custom Pip and Emma Review and Run", he was uncertain on buying a camera or a new phone to upload reviews again. On March 27, he woke up in pain as his bladder had an infection as he took time to heal before doing videos again. On April 15, it was revealed he was doing a Halloween Parody video at his old trailer family's house they used to live in next to his Mom's Mother's house. On April 17, He went back to do more videos continuing to do more parodies and another review video. In May 2021 he created a new series called "Engines at the Railway" were he makes videos of certain Thomas characters, commentates about his older videos from 2011 to 2013, and puts them into one video.

In January 2022, most of the videos he did were reuploads because of YouTube claiming them as "Kids Content" and he made a rant video on January 15th about his situation and didn't know what to do about moving forward. The reuploads kept going until January 18th and he took a 3 week break from the constant reuploading.

He continued to make more videos through his 21st birthday and started to upload a couple videos per week. Through summer, he uploaded the most viewed video of 2022 that is a parody of Annoying Orange vs Fred which featured All Engines Go Thomas as Fred in the video and it sparked views when it first came out and it is still the most viewed video from 2022. He uploaded more and more parody videos through June and July. On July 8th, he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and uploaded only 4 videos during his sickness. He recovered from having COVID 16 days later and the next day he uploaded a video where he discussed about 2022 being a bad year talking about the Russian-Ukraine War, the high gas prices, the high inflation hitting worse than the 1980s, and the 2022 Recession which just confirmed three days after the video was released. He carried on doing more videos through August and finishing his series; "Trains at the Railway" in August 23, with Stepney, Daisy, and Frank.
In 2023, he continued doing his usual videos, uploading a bunch of videos per month. In June 2023, his monetization was disabled due to the same type of videos being put out on his channel and was uncertain about his future. In July 2023, he opened a second channel "Jack Alternate 2001" where he's uploading parody videos there instead on his main channel because he's afraid of youtube refusing to accept his monetization. He instead went for a different direction of making videos, since June 2023, he has been making reaction videos which was new to the channel. During his demonetization, he deleted parody videos he made from 2022 and 2023 to reapply for monetization. His monetization was blocked until mid-September 2023 where he's remonetized for his videos. 
In 2024, he made videos 2 to 3 a week as he said in one video, he was hoping to make it last as it is his last year. On April 28th, 2024, his mother passed away from cancer and planned on a break from social media for one to two months.
