I usually don’t either, but when a YouTuber threatens the life of another YouTuber (in this case SSSniperwolf doxxing Jacksfilms), that’s something that really makes me mad.
MoistCritikal pumps out a 12 minute video of him sitting in a chair going, “The recent YouTube drama with xXxBlorpkin and Tglof has gone too far” and generates millions of views.
That guys humor is so dry. I mean, look I won’t lie here sometimes I watch him out of boredom. Most of the time I just click off his videos after I watch for a few seconds to see what its about. Dude literally just cuts stuff from his live streams and reposts it on YouTube to make double the profit.
I think if we we’re to see the analyze the average watch time of his videos, it would probably be low.
If this is a reference to the hbomberguy drama, the actual story isn’t the drama. It’s about the rampant stealing/corner cutting/blatant plagiarism that big YouTubers are engaging in and making bank off of. They are often even lifting from lesser-known channels to make their money. It’s not right.
If this isn’t about that, then yes generally it’s dumb lol
People clearly do care, that's why they manufacture drama. It helps drive engagement and views.
Of course, it's hard not to look down on people who develop parasocial relationships with youtube personalities.
But some people are very lonely. So if anything we should be critical of the youtuber who knowingly cultivate unhealthy fanbases and profit off their misery.
Helps that HBomberGuy hasn’t posted endless rounds of response videos. That’s how you milk the drama for views.
Conversely, I’m getting a little tired of Karl Jobst mostly becoming a drama channel against fraudsters like Billy Mitchell or the Open Hand Charity. Those guys do deserve it, but it’s sucking oxygen away from Jobst’s usual commentary on speed running techniques. He’s also working outside his specialty–these are American cases, and he’s a lawyer under Australian law–and not all his claims carry weight.
I think people in this section of the comments are a bit unreasonable. Jobst made 2 videos about Open Hands Foundation and the reason to publish the first one doesn’t have to be “drama”. The second… Maybe… But then again, people like “updates” which is also the reason by billy Mitchell videos are coming and they are updates. In both cases, there is a strong relationship between the core theme video games and the “drama”. Open Hands Foundation’s event was about showcasing games and Billy is the best video gamer of all time. God bless billy.
So I don’t think Jobst videos are so… Offtopic. Especially as he talked about Speedrun drama before.
Doesn’t help the fact that his latest video is of course AGAIN about Billy Mitchell: “I Just Exposed Billy Mitchell’s DUMBEST LIE EVER!” I think I’m starting to see a bit of a patern here…
I haven’t watched his videos in a while but isn’t he being sued by Billy Mitchell? I assumed his videos were more out of spite than actually chasing drama.
YouTube recommended me a Jobst video the other day, and I thought “I’ve already seen his Billy Mitchell video, haven’t I?” And I had. What I hadn’t seen were the fifteen other videos he’s made about him. As I write this comment, his latest video about Billy Mitchell was uploaded 17 hours ago.
Thank you so much for this post, I thought I was the only one. The quality of his content has really gone down as a result of him fixating on the drama. I thought his deep dive into rating retro games was good, but he is becoming full of himself. Needs to step back and reevaluate what the channel used to be about. But I’m guessing the drama makes him more money. He wouldn’t be the first youtuber to “go bad” because of the algorithm.
I love it when people go out of their way to insist they don’t care about something. “I don’t care about politics” is the absolute gold standard, but this is pretty good too.
YouTube is doing jack shit about this. What do you expect me to do, turn a blind eye to the situation? It’s been over 3 months and SSSniperwolf still isn’t off the platform.
I think you’re talking about SSSniperWolf and JacksFilms. It’s particularly interesting because it’s not just two people arguing. SSSniperWolf very clearly violated YouTube TOS as well as possibly California law. YouTube’s response essentially protected her because she’s YouTube royalty, pulling in 1 million+ views on all her videos, which are all her “reacting” to tiktok videos.
It’s beyond “drama”. It’s a giant tech/media company playing favourites with creators who break not only TOS, but copyright law, and US law. It shows they’ll look the other way over any infraction so long as you make them enough money.
Exactly. Calling it “Drama” is an understatement. Though I was also partially referencing Illumigaughtii who is known for abusing her employees and actually fucking other people over financially
People love to dismiss Youtuber serious controversies as “Petty drama” but then usually it’s stuff like SSSW and Illumigaughtii which is very much serious shit.
Jugglefruit and Krombusnombus aren’t actually mortal enemies because one said the others breath smelt like cat food and my attention is just being used for ad revenue that’s split between the two?!
I think it’s pretty easy to understand: “I do not care to hear about it”. they never once said “it doesn’t bother me to hear about and this post proves that”
I commend your not even knowing what I’m talking about.
My curiosity got the better of me because of reading other people’s comments.
I’d google ‘gloxxon cancelled’ because I thought it was actually a legitimate news story but it turns out he was embroiled in a high school level fight with Dinglebingle the reaction channel over saying his child had a watermelon shaped head.
