Jonathan Jacob Meijer Is Still Active On His YouTube Channel
As seen in the documentary, Jonathan Jacob Meijer actively posted on YouTube. Meijer frequently posted video blogs, describing his travels, philosophies, and general life updates. To this day, Meijer remains an incredibly active poster on YouTube, uploading videos multiple times a week. These videos are very basic in terms of presentation, as they are simply video blogs, which means Meijer simply speaks to a camera for anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes of recording, does minimal edits, and posts.
Meijer's YouTube channel has significantly more followers than what was seen in the documentary, which saw a huge jump in followers in the week that the video was released, increasing from 20 subscribers to more than 14.2 thousand (via Social Blade). Likewise, Meijer's total channel views have dramatically increased with the release of the documentary, which will likely put Meijer in a position to earn money from his YouTube channel, depending on whether Meijer can sustain the new audience. However, considering the source of the influx of traffic, Meijer will likely see just as dramatic a drop in the coming weeks.
How Many Children Jonathan Jacob Meijer Has Admitted To Having
As seen in the final entry of the documentary series, Jonathan Jacob Meijer eventually admitted to having more than 550 children through his Sperm Donations (via Forbes). However, the estimates which were calculated by the number of donations and the various clinics which Jonathan Jacob Meijer visited place the number much, much higher in the range of thousands. While the documentary speculated Jonathan Jacob Meijer had a detailed list of his donations, there is no evidence such a list exists.
While speculative figures can be calculated by assessing Jonathan Jacob Meijer's various deposits, the clinics Meijer visited globally, and the individuals who have come forward, or joined the group which is a gathering place for those who received a donation from Meijer, it's difficult to compile all the data into an exact figure. Jonathan Jacob Meijer spent time in countless different clinics, with their own systems for tracking and recording details over many years. The level of detail about both the donors and the specific successful inseminations of those samples vary drastically from location to location.
What Jonathan Jacob Meijer Has Said About Netflix's The Man With 1000 Kids Doc
Jonathan Jacob Meijer has also posted a response video on YouTube to the first part of the Netflix Documentary (via YouTube), with the intention of posting more videos responding to the other entries. While Meijer has yet to post a response to part 2, Meijer has posted several videos detailing other parts of the documentary, and specifically allegations made about Meijer and the way Meijer conducted his business. The most vocal declaration thus far is a definitive denial of the claim that Meijer mixed sperm with another donor, Leon.
Jonathan Jacob Meijer also claimed that Meijer has contacted Netflix to have the accusation removed from The Man With 1000 Kids. Jonathan Jacob Meijer praised the quality of the production, though Meijer said that was potentially the only thing Meijer could praise. On the other hand, Meijer felt the documentary was unfair, speaking to only six families out of around 225 families that Meijer has "helped." Meijer goes on to claim that Meijer was the best donor, due to Meijer's willingness to donate for free, aside from travel expenses. Over Jonathan Jacob Meijer's period of donating, Meijer claims to have spent more than 50,000 hours with families, communicating, visiting with kids, and donating.
