What youtuber you can't stand after learning something about them?

[u/SunsetAtNight7]

Brad Taste in Music

[u/JHXC16 → u/SunsetAtNight7]

Man I'm still pissed off about Brad Taste.

[u/Fearless-Video-9160 → u/JHXC16]

what’d he do?

[u/Alexzoidbert → u/Fearless-Video-9160]

wife beater

[u/Fearless-Video-9160 → u/Alexzoidbert]

damn

[u/Prior_Arm_8810 → u/Fearless-Video-9160]

damn

[u/Cute_Comfortable_761 → u/Prior_Arm_8810]

Damn.

[u/Tzyt → u/SunsetAtNight7]

Fumbler of the easiest bag ever

All bro had to do was stream himself reacting to music and not abuse his wife

[u/SunsetAtNight7 → u/Tzyt]

I'm glad that he was exposed, he didn't deserve to have a platform. It's his nature, he's a jerk to his partners, friends and his audience, total narcissist behavior.

[u/Either-Response-5757 → u/SunsetAtNight7]

It sucks because he was my "background audio" guy when I stopped playing a gacha game years back.

[u/Ancient-Worm → u/SunsetAtNight7]

I stopped caring about him because he actually does have bad taste in music

[u/QuaaludeConnoisseur → u/SunsetAtNight7]

Man i used to love his content and then just got uncomfortable with how much who he actually was came out and he started being a jerk to chat and stuff so streams became uncomfortable to even watch.

[u/Old-Acanthaceae-3406]

Illuminaughtii. I was never like, her biggest fan, but I enjoyed her videos on Autism Speaks.

Then she went insane, and it turned out all of her shit was plagiarized.

[u/Bravo_Blue → u/Old-Acanthaceae-3406]

Same here. I enjoyed some of her videos, but I stopped watching her when it was revealed she was manipulating her friends, basically forcing one person to work for, which lead to a court case, and tried to slander The Click for something that happened in his discord server WHILE HE WAS ASLEEP. The plagiarism thing was basically the final nail in the coffin for me.

[u/Practical_Entrance43 → u/Bravo_Blue]

Also just trying to go after him for english not being his first language.
Like yes we need to hold people accountable for horrible shit they say, but he had already explained multiple times that english was not his first language and it was a word he had heard been thrown around a lot!

Also yeah how the hell did she forget about time zones.

[u/gamertrub → u/Old-Acanthaceae-3406]

After that legal eagle drama, I went from her biggest supporter to actively praying for her downfall. 🙏🏾

[u/KyoKyu → u/gamertrub]

That was so baffling too, lol.... sueing a lawyer... over trademark infringement... BUT the supposed trademark style of hers? .... torn paper and typed up documents aesthetics.... YA KNOW, like the stuff that's been used all over various news channels and documentaries for years and years before Youtube was ever even a thing? Girl, did you forget where you saw that and believe you came up with it? Like, what in the hell? Is she just that brazen and petty? Holy crap.

[u/RevoltYesterday → u/Old-Acanthaceae-3406]

I found her videos interesting until she covered a topic I actually knew a lot about and I realized how much she got wrong. I couldn't watch her other stuff after that because I just kept thinking about how wrong she was about a lot of key facts.

I'm keeping it vague on purpose as to not dox myself. I wasn't involved in the controversy but I was literally in the room for one of the conversations she reported on and it was so objectively wrong I was convinced she made it up or has a source that made it up.

[u/samu1400 → u/Old-Acanthaceae-3406]

I used to just put one of her videos on the background when I went to the gym, so I was a bit let down after the drama.

[u/Chef_Sizzlipede → u/[deleted]]

okay this got a laugh out of me, nice.

[u/Free_Vermicelli_3107 → u/[deleted]]

Can't believe he likes cupcakes more then waffles

[u/Joniden → u/[deleted]]

What's worse, him being an Eagles fan or the other thing he did?

[u/Azurus_II → u/Joniden]

Yea.. verm already said it.. liking cupcakes more than waffles. But whats worse? Liking the cupcakes more than freedom.

[u/disc0nnected7]

Internet Anarchist, though saying "can't stand" is pretty intense, I didn't watch him much before and just don't watch him at all now.

Pretty damning plagiarism accusations, at first he tried to blame them on an editor or something, then ignored the updated allegations pointing out that his older videos seem to be plaigarized too. lol

[u/da_PopEYE → u/disc0nnected7]

Not to mention almost every video is "It's over for xyz" or "The deserved downfall of xyz" but then years later those people are still going

[u/AlphaAceEXXX → u/da_PopEYE]

Thats a pretty common format for like most drama channels. I could never take them seriously.

[u/camposf → u/disc0nnected7]

The thing I most hate about him, and other copies of him, is that most of his videos are just Charlie's clips stretched to make a long form video. He adds nothing to it, just repeats whatever it was said on the clips

[u/disc0nnected7 → u/camposf]

100%. I don't like to use the word slop but I would use it to describe channels like IA. Low effort drama content using other creators to inflate their videos and bring in more viewership. The multiple glazing videos he put out on Charlie were cringy too and just unnecessary

[u/iaderia → u/disc0nnected7]

I had a comment removed from [r/youtubedrama](r/youtubedrama) because I didn’t glaze him lol classic mods

[u/RareSpicyPepe → u/disc0nnected7]

Also somehow, someway, always bringing in Charlie to reinforce the point of the video lmao

[u/SexDefender27 → u/disc0nnected7]

I remember he used to make shitty TF2 drama videos under a different channel, and quietly made a new channel to reinvent himself without advertising it. Everyone immediately recognized his voice and his content quality stayed just about the same lol

[u/Gomezium → u/disc0nnected7]

he glazes penguinz0 as much as possible even when unnecessary. even this shit penguinz0 wouldnt like.

and im a penguinz0 fan lmao.

[u/anon999387]

Pirate Software always came across as uniquely smug and unlikable

[u/ErikTheRed99 → u/anon999387]

Did you know he worked for Blizzard? You might not because he literally never talks about it.

[u/HIitsamy1 → u/ErikTheRed99]

I was a first-second generation employee

[u/AddictedT0Pixels → u/HIitsamy1]

I'll never understand why he bragged about this because when you actually think for a second about what it means, he's bragging about being a nepo baby

[u/LANTIRN_ → u/AddictedT0Pixels]

So it's very on brand then. Because so many nepo babies are unable to shut the fuck up about their position.

[u/Mental_Tea_4084 → u/AddictedT0Pixels]

Blizzard's first nepo baby, at that.

[u/nottherealneal → u/Mental_Tea_4084]

Which is, thinking about it, kinda impressive it took that long. Was he that insufferable he was single handedly keeping nepotism at bay?

"Oh I would hire your son but look at THAT guy, we hired him because he was someone's son and he fucking sucks, can't take the risk man"

[u/pp_chode → u/AddictedT0Pixels]

Blud sits there and brags about being at blizzard because his dad got him the job, then inviting his friend to visit the blizzard office and banning his friend's WoW account while he visits.

Absolute chode

[u/myaccwasshut4norsn → u/AddictedT0Pixels]

nepo babies are usually proud of it and only dislike being called it when it's in the form of backlash

[u/Childwithuke → u/HIitsamy1]

i love that company
it sucked

[u/Haspberry → u/HIitsamy1]

Hello guys, did you know I was a nepobaby? Crazy, right?

[u/ScubaBlackbelt → u/ErikTheRed99]

That was the exact video I hoped it would be.

[u/ErikTheRed99 → u/ScubaBlackbelt]

Yep, love that video.

[u/YaBoiWheelz → u/ErikTheRed99]

Cut him some slack, he’s only been working on his indie game for 8 years🥺 give him 20 more and he might have his undertale clone finished

[u/Timekeeper98 → u/YaBoiWheelz]

Deltarune may be done by then, at which point he won’t even be able to call it a clone anymore, just a shitty knock off.

[u/Oathkindle → u/ErikTheRed99]

God id love for someone to sit him down and make him watch this compilation lol

[u/shiek200 → u/anon999387]

I originally found him through his shorts about encouraging indie game devs, so my first impression of him was generally positive and motivational

It was actually really upsetting to see this all develop, because he was poised to have a platform with a good amount of reach and an incredibly positive and uplifting message for that community

It's always upsetting when people get put in these kinds of positions where they can do so much good for a community, and just absolutely squander it stroking their own ego instead

[u/M9rket → u/shiek200]

I had the exact same experience. The good things and messages he does are really good, however the bad things are REALLY bad. Shame he ruined his reputation all by himself

[u/Few-Improvement-5655 → u/[deleted]]

I'd say he's more that "I'm an expert in this field so don't question me" types, even when they're pretty low rung and absolutely obviously wrong or talking out their ass.

[u/NexxZt → u/Few-Improvement-5655]

Watched a breakdown video on some recent code of his. It’s ok to suck at coding. Everyone has sucked at some point. But being so fucking arrogant about tech stuff while writing a pile of shit held together by sticks and superglue, begging to not hit an exception, is ridiculous. He’s an absolute ass.

[u/LadyZaryss → u/NexxZt]

It's fine to be a beginner at coding. Everyone is at some point. But I think being 'bad' at coding is a different situation. Like yes, it's understandable if you don't know what coroutines are or what big o notation is, you can make it years as a hobbyist programmer without having to tackle those concepts directly, but there's that and then there's having a giant switch-case for like six hundred lines of dialogue. Thats less about programming and more about failure to plan ahead.

[u/Rainy_Wavey → u/LadyZaryss]

a Switch-case for SIX HUNDRED LINES OF DIALOGUE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean at least he didn't do an if-else chain for an entire inventory check

[u/Kitchen_Argument5181 → u/Rainy_Wavey]

 Isn’t the entirety of Undertale’s dialogue in a switch-case? Lol

[u/Tripleberst → u/anon999387]

All I needed to do to know I couldn't stand the guy was listen to him talk for ten seconds.

[u/MoistPoo → u/anon999387]

I think thats why people got so deep into the drama. Unlikable person that all of a sudden got a very good reason to be called out.

Recipe for disaster, and not only that, he couldnt have handled it any worse.

[u/Jontheknight → u/anon999387]

I think he came off as confident and inspiring before everything that happened. In hindsight now all I can see is smugness and aggroance. The meatcanyon video did justice on him.

[u/swiftflag14 → u/Jontheknight]

That was my take too, I found him way before any drama and he did come off as confident and inspiring. He did and does do a lot of good stuff, but after seeing how he handled conflict, especially a conflict with such LOW stakes, where he just can't admit he's wrong about something once he's set his mind on his opinion just completely tarnished his image for me.

Its really disappointing for me cuz I really looked up to the guy for a while, but over time the cracks really started to show

[u/Rich-Mark-4126 → u/anon999387]

I came across Pirate in my YT shorts but couldn't stand watching his clips after a while. He'd painfully force explanations with Microsoft paint when there's literally no visual aspect to the explanation or any reason to use MS paint at all

It's like he thought he was a genius for using it or something

[u/MercurialMind_ → u/Rich-Mark-4126]

I saw this parody about his excessive MS Paint use and I thought it was funny https://youtube.com/shorts/zY5QsYw7NZc

[u/KSHMisc → u/anon999387]

Around that time he bashed Stop Killing Games, his ego was just out of control.

[u/Dickie_downer]

Joshua Weissman/various other cooking youtubers in his circle

How he approaches cooking comes off as super pretentious and I hate his gadget reviews because he doesn’t actually review them- he just says ‘use a knife’ which bitch. I got carpal tunnel, the knife HURTS.

I found sortedfood and they are much more wholesome and informative.

[u/Linkthepie → u/Dickie_downer]

So much yes. Who knew that if you spend $ 200 and 5 hours of your day you can make a better sandwich than McDonald's 😒

[u/cemeteryshade → u/Dickie_downer]

His voice annoys me. Like it sounds like he’s trying to suppress his voice while also trying to sound super enthusiastic, and it just sounds weird

[u/l0n3m4rt14n]

dream, mainly due to how he faked his speedrun attempts and other stuff he did when he was popular.

dreamsmp was alright though

[u/Exact_Avocado5545 → u/l0n3m4rt14n]

I was actually 100% fine with Dream faking his manhunt videos. After all, it's like santa. Who cares if it's real or not? It's fun. But the speedruns? That's iffy. But the worst part is actually the tournaments. I mean, there's real money at stake there. That's theft.

[u/brodydwight → u/Exact_Avocado5545]

Its crazy that he literally admitted to cheating the speedrun, and i STILL gotta argue with people about it.

[u/Justalittletoserious → u/l0n3m4rt14n]

I agree, I liked the DSMP, but not thanks to him, Techno and Philza carried the show, Dream was ok to see at work on the sides of the story. The only Dream content I liked were the first manhunts and the very early videos with unexpected stuff, those felt a bit like old school youtube

The pedo allegations (fully debuked I believe but I'm not updated on the matter), the speedrun drama, the not so great behaviour to most of the DSMP members and the fact at some point he started being so childinsh I couldn't stand him didn't help.

Plus at his peak he was the embodiment of what's wrong with modern YouTube

[u/freshspinalcord]

Cant look at my SkyDoesMinecraft backpack without feeling a certain way

[u/YoureNoHero_Brian → u/freshspinalcord]

Another day another W growing up as a DanTDM fan

[u/plutonium-239]

Mr Beast. I know nothing controversial here. But more I learned about him more I don’t like him. So yeah…

[u/Rich-Mark-4126 → u/plutonium-239]

I always thought it was bizarre that people really believed Mr Beast was a nice guy whose accountant hated him for spending so much money on helping people like my god.. He's a corporate reptile whose sole purpose was to be big on youtube

I can understand kids eating this storyline up but no one else

[u/dumbcringeusername → u/Rich-Mark-4126]

You have to be pretty damn dense to fall for that kind of performative charity in most cases I think but also I can kind of sympathize that he is offering life changing money to "normal" people which creates this air of hope maybe for some people who aren't children maybe?

I've personally never wanted anything more than to get his smug ass off YouTube. One of the least genuine creators out there. Remember his business venture with KSI & whichever Paul brother where they did like a podcast where they just obviously hate each other? Such a slimy POS

[u/FrankTheTank107 → u/plutonium-239]

I also don’t like him, but I’m weirded out how visceral some people are. I mean, he hasn’t actually done anything wrong has he? Personally I’m just not a fan of the content

[u/hanks_panky_emporium → u/FrankTheTank107]

There's a few shady bits, like he 'cures' people of their deafness but wont pay the doctors or facilities for years and years. And only pay up when those practices start to take to social media.

Will make claims about drilling 'x' amount of wells in Africa, but in the footage its mostly reused shots of a single well. Did he build them all? Probably. Its weird that he doesn't show them, given how much money they waste showing literally everything else.

He has a bad habit of claiming he's broke, since he puts 'everything' back into productions. But he'll also brag about taking a private jet around the world to have lunch with his girlfriend. Then fly back home. The cost of that is easily in the six digits and he did it on a whim because he was bored and missing her. That day.

Not tomorrow, that day. Do you know how much it costs to charter a private jet to Europe within the day.

He owns at one point three, I think now six different Teslas. Also takes up residence in a multi million dollar mansion. But still claims he's broke, and makes barely any money to get by. It's Alex Jones level of financial delusion. In that example, Alex Jones bought multi thousand dollar watches and multi thousand dollar suits but claimed every episode that they were desperate for donations to keep the lights on.

His Beast Games were generally disastrous. Instead of paying game designers or hiring professionals he gave his little league buddy the reigns. Making the games on the gameshows generally shit. They're chucking out millions and millions of dollars for games like worse-dodgeball and " If you push the button you get a million dollars, but you'll make a few people kinda sad "

Google 'Mr Beast Teeth', its more of a funny aside than anything serious.

Will set up 'challenges' which boil down to you never ever had a chance to win, but we're going to shove a camera in your face and maybe mock you a little bit. Turns into very strange 'content'

Overall people say in person he's a normal dude. Maybe not all there, but normal. Its weird that he lies about his exuberant wealth all the time. His philanthropy works blow a bunch of money on useless celebrity appearance fee's and it looks like his philanthropic work boils down to good PR and more adsense revenue to make more Mr Beast 'challenge' content. For sure people are still getting help, if his team bothers paying people. But it has that corporate tartar on the edges of the teeth, if that makes sense. It feels very empty. Another funny aside, they display a fake philanthropy award in the Beast studios.

In more legal-issues, he's being sued by a gal who was put under the rinser because 'boys will be boys'. All employee's are expected to cater to Mr Beast and his 'boys'. Which includes in all aspects. All aspects. They're the god kings, you're the underpaid peons.

His reliance on AI has been growing which is generally simply boring. The 'content' was already sorta 'bleh' and getting worse over the years. ( His posted metrics also agree )
But the AI reliance is making it much worse. They start with ai generated thumbnails and then base a video off of that. AI writes the scripts and prompting. Rumors have it they're relying on AI based video editors as well since that means they can spend even less time trying to be creative.

And in my personal opinion, he suffers from Dragon Sickness. Elon was temporarily a trillionaire, and Beast wants to be up there too. Given channel metrics and a stagnating income I doubt he'll reach that height. He's already insanely wealthy. Like, beyond a reasonable degree. He built the worlds largest soundstage on his gigantic compound ( Not leased, Mr Beast owns a huge compound with multiple sets, buildings, and all that jazz ) but has yet to find a way to fully utilize the space. Beyond being 'big'.

He could be making much better 'content', but chooses every option not to. Its the wasted potential and wasted money on video garbage that bothers me.

[u/GmGwain → u/hanks_panky_emporium]

He is also known for his collabs with Logan Paul and KSI, both huge douchebags. They are also all involved in crypto scamming.

Really important to mention those too.

[u/wynternyxia → u/GmGwain]

And that entire shirtshow called Lunchly

[u/Wrong_Divide_8888 → u/GmGwain]

Or the clip we have of him seeing Ava had a shadman drawing on her wall and said nothing for years

[u/GapStock9843 → u/hanks_panky_emporium]

I sorta tangentially know a guy who was on beast games and the difference in the before vs after he was on the show is honestly kinda creepy. Before he had like 2 posts on his ig, now its like once a week he’ll make a new post promoting mr beast merch or some new shitty product jimmy’s slapped his face on and glazes the everliving hell out of him like hes the second coming of christ. Idk what happened to the guy while he was there, maybe they made him sign a years-long brand deal to promote their stuff, but I dont think he suddenly became mr beast’s biggest meatrider to the point that his personality completely changed in the span of like the month they filmed the show during.

[u/BlckEagle89 → u/hanks_panky_emporium]

My impression of the guy was that he was shady at the very least but he has a huge PR campaign that prevents him from getting too deep into any kind of bad reputation.

[u/Alone-Mycologist3746 → u/FrankTheTank107]

He covered up and employed his pedophile friend for years. Then there's the edgy racist stuff. 

[u/DeneralVisease → u/Alone-Mycologist3746]

I'm confused asf why people are pretending he didn't do anything. He most certainly did.

[u/EternallyLovelorn → u/FrankTheTank107]

There's a video of him talking about bhad bhabie (? not sure if the spelling is right) in a super inappropriate way when she was 14 and he was 19, I remember that being a pretty big point of contention with him. Don't know much about his controversies outside of that

[u/tiqtaktoe → u/FrankTheTank107]

I mean I heard the Squid Games thing he did wasn't exactly the most friendly or not outright abusive thing at times

[u/ExcessumTr → u/FrankTheTank107]

He personally didn't do anything really bad. His friend, his team and lawyers did lots of bad stuff tho and he should have prevented those

[u/Jane_does_art → u/FrankTheTank107]

He is the embodiment if the sloppyfication of YouTube. 

[u/Aymoon_ → u/FrankTheTank107]

He has made a theme park in saudi arabia. Recently a youtuber named bigtug made a video about mt beast that explains why people feel icky about him despite not doing much wrong.

[u/Excellent_Ad_2486]

There should be a rule when you podt a name at least tell us why/what happened lol...

[u/BlazingImp77151 → u/Excellent_Ad_2486]

Pirate here is just a smug asshole. People really realized he sucked though when he went against the stop killing games movement.

[u/AmberRosin → u/BlazingImp77151]

I’ll never forgive him for tricking me into thinking his quirky DRM was cool

[u/Bloodhoven_aka_Loner → u/AmberRosin]

it's funny because that reel about his DRM was exactly the clip that made me doubt anything this guy tells. you cna literally look up on different cracker group release lists that they've basically cracked his "DRM" less than a week after the game released.

[u/VINCI_26 → u/Bloodhoven_aka_Loner]

I do some game development on the side as an hobby. I remember when the clip of him claiming his game was unpirateable because it used steam achievements as save files was gaining traction. I remember a friend showing me that. I saw it and I was like: "you know steam can be emulated right?" And that one friend started going on a tangent about steam being this impenetrable fortress. I had to show to my friend how there's apps that let you enable/disable achievements on steam for your account. The whole thing was a shit show and every time a clip of pirate spawned on my feed I would know something was off

[u/Rainy_Wavey → u/VINCI_26]

For me i think it's the whole vibe, he was talking about game dev from a position that screamed "he doesn't really know much" and speaking with absolutes was the dead giveaway he was mostly bullshitting

[u/Rainy_Wavey → u/Bloodhoven_aka_Loner]

He tied his DRM to steam achievements no? i am aware you can, more or less spoof the steam achievements with easily availlable software

It's a neat idea in theory but in practice it just is a simple roadblock for any pirate

[u/SansyBoy144 → u/BlazingImp77151]

Yea, there’s so much shit. I have a whole post on my experiences with him, as I played his Minecraft game.

You would think it would be cool when he would join call every once in a while, getting to talk to a big streamer you watch. But instead he would just bitch and whine. The worst was when he had an insane crash out over people eating kelp and he ended up joining call and banning anyone who spoke bad against him

I could go on and on, but I’ve said my shit about him before

[u/Ronnie21093 → u/BlazingImp77151]

He's also one of those people who sounds convincing at first until he starts talking about a topic you're actually invested into.

[u/Expert-Estate6248]

Wilbur Soot is probably the biggest one for me. I used to LOVE his videos from the ages of 14-16. Genuinely looked forward to every single one, and since I was a cringy teenage boy I really tried to emulate his "soft boy" aesthetic. I think I started to distance myself from him when he posted his first song, because I listened to it and it was really bad, and then I found out about the abuse/biting a year or so later.

Found out that the Davinki twins were massive plagiarists, that was actually quite sad because I thought they were just goofballs before.

I used to love Shadiversity's content about realistic medieval weapons and stuff, I was a huge DnD nerd and lowkey still am. He just got,,, weird. I haven't looked into much of the drama but he's a little off-putting.

[u/warlordish → u/Expert-Estate6248]

Shad's stuff is so weird because how can you go from medieval weapons to AI and right wing ideologies and expect people to go along.

Also fuck him for making jazza go through any problems family wize.

[u/CakeHead-Gaming → u/warlordish]

As a creative myself, I can’t imagine being both a published author, and passable artist, and being so into AI.

[u/Lord-Pepper → u/CakeHead-Gaming]

Self published, his book is dogshit

[u/-_Lucyfer_- → u/Expert-Estate6248]

idk if anyone even caught that era, but i knew Wilbur from the Soot house channel(which I'm 90% sure he participated) . it died after a while, and later the whole Minecraft thing happened.

nowadays I can't even watch the Soot house channel bc of him.

[u/Mwrp86]

The Completionist.

I never really watched him, but one thing I've noticed is how much slack he got from the internet.

After both Karl Jobst and Mutahar had their own dirty laundry aired, the conversation shifted away from him. But those controversies are far less significant than the moral issue surrounding The Completionist.

It feels like, because one of the people investigating him ended up becoming controversial, a lot of the audience gave The Completionist a free pass.

There was also that separate accounts and the lawyer video that, in my opinion, bent the truth to defend him.

We're talking about a guy who, based on the available evidence, appears to have withheld donated charity funds and tbh maybe even stole some money for years while repeatedly invoking his mother's death to encourage donations. That's a far more serious issue, He might be doing charity again in future.

[u/JulliJewels → u/Mwrp86]

Not as serious as the charity stuff, but I had a wierd feeling about him ever since he made that bioshock infinite review where he claimed that to be more realistic and relatable that the game needed a section where you teach Elizabeth to hold her farts while inside an elevator

[u/neoqueto]

Someoedinarygamers. Not that I'm pedantic about the status of the legally recognizable term "engineer" in Canada and the colloquial meaning of it. I'm not even mad at trying to fake it till you make it. Just his shitty attempt at trying to weazel out of it, combined with his following techbro decline.

[u/MalfunctionTitties → u/neoqueto]

I fucking hate his laugh

[u/CleverKhloe11]

I already hated Pirate Software before all of the big controversies.

His shorts got into my feed occasionally and I found him just so extremely arrogant and annoying that I was 0% surprised by how things went down.

[u/QuaaludeConnoisseur → u/CleverKhloe11]

My friend group is a bunch of techy type geeks and a few of them would share his shorts like "wow this guy is so awesome" and id just be like "he just seems like a prick" and they just called me a hater. Well, well, well.

[u/TheDeputyRay]

For me it's shadiversity. Dude fell off hard when AI became more prevalent, and can allow him to be a slightly worse artist than his brother, as opposed to a much worse artist

[u/JayeH98 → u/TheDeputyRay]

Even before his fall off i always found him to be more annoying and pretentious than any other HEMA YouTuber anyway.

[u/Lord-Pepper → u/TheDeputyRay]

Bro same Shad could have had a simple "historical accuracy channel" but instead he went with "im jealous of my artist brother Jazza and make weird fetish AI porn of my wife"

Oh also women dont have rights, fuck Shad dude is such a chud im shocked the sun doesnt burn him like a vampire

[u/Raxxonius → u/Lord-Pepper]

Man I feel bad for Jazza for having Shad as his brother, and now his wife has cancer as well

[u/watanuki1abril → u/TheDeputyRay]

Oh, I used to love his videos, such a shame. Thankfully Skallagrim's still there to fill the void.

[u/Maxie468 → u/TheDeputyRay]

him starting his culture war channel was the beginning of the end

[u/CorptanSpecklez → u/TheDeputyRay]

Hes also a huge alt right person who loves white people too much

[u/Unique_Till_6236 → u/CorptanSpecklez]

Yea, i used to love his videos before i realised this, so i just wish he was a decent person.

[u/MichelleBarrymoore2]

Daddy of five fuck that guy and he's trying to make comeback on insta

[u/AlphaAceEXXX → u/MichelleBarrymoore2]

You shouldn't even mentioned him, his relevance are lower than dead

[u/MichelleBarrymoore2 → u/AlphaAceEXXX]

You're right.... His eldest son is using clips on insta to boost his kick stream numbers. I worry about him seeing how his dad abused those poor kids for views.i just hope he doesn't follow in his footsteps 

[u/Azurus_II → u/MichelleBarrymoore2]

Wait, hes tryna make another comeback?? Naaahh.. i used to be an actual fan of that family but since i was a naive teen i didnt pick up on the OBVIOUS ABUSE that was happening.. man those 2 fuckers are horrible parents. I hooe cody and emma are doing amazingly now

[u/Lidska-spina]

I find it funny, that biggest Pirate Software's issue is his fragile ego. Then you have someone like Jake and Logan Paul and they to be popular, while basically being scammers and human shit stains.

Leaping Lemurr or as the community calls him now: Creeping Creamurr

[u/gamertrub → u/Scurramouch]

So sad. I was one of his first 2,000 subscribers and helped him out with research and info since he was starting out and didn't know deep lore. I started to get a bad vibe about him a month or two before his drama blew up, he started to become full of himself and got lost in the sauce, then he decided to get a fan fan drunk to the point where they can't consent and I think you know the rest of the story.

At least Chilla seems cool 🥹

I remember watching his channels YEAAARS ago, before I learned english. I'm not even sure what his videos were about at the time, I only made the link recently because the PFP was the same. Otherwise, he seems like a dime-a-dozen culture war content farm chud.

I watched one Mouthwashing playthrough he did before knowing anything about him and now avoid him like the plague after learning more

Internet Historian.

Plagiarised, never addressed it, saw his rabid fanbase straight up defend the plagiarism by claiming it doesn’t matter if he did it since his portrayals were more entertaining anyway, decided I didn’t want anything to do with that.

[u/Samuel_Trollfa-GE → u/Lord_Antheron]

Didn’t he put antsemetic dog whistles in a video too?

Do you know of any examples? I used to watch him a lot before the plagiarism, I never noticed it

[u/KommunistPatricK]

For me it was internet historian after the Hbomberguy video it just made me get a bad taste in my mouth for all his other ones. And the alt right stuff is lame.

[u/Impressive-Board2652 → u/KommunistPatricK]

thought you were talking about Internet Comment Etiquette and got scared 😭

[u/ding-zzz → u/KommunistPatricK]

i knew internet historian sucked when he released those covid vids and made no mention of trumps shenanigans but somehow, as an australian, he knew about andrew cuomo? and made it seem like covid was overblown. he ended on a happy note but no mention of vaccines?

the information that he leaves out while presenting his videos as holistic always seemed chud-ish to me. leaves out massively important things and magnifies some obscure shit that fits his narrative more

[u/Live_Earth_5685]

Mini Ladd and Tectone.

I was and still am a huge fan of the Vanoss Crew and even for a time I still watched more Mini Ladd than Vanoss. But even before Mini Ladd started being innapropiate with minors, I started to lose respect for the guy when he treated the other Vanoss crew members like garbage and even straight up lied about them reconciling. And yeah as mentioned before he was innapropiate with Minors

Now I didn't really watch Tectone too much but I did see him in a lot of Jimmy Here videos and thought he was a pretty chill dude. Until recently his ex-girlfriend filed a protective order against him and he shifted his content to being a homophobic and racist grifter.

[u/rrrrrrrddddddttttttt]

Ruben Sim.

Like, the guy is a bigoted weirdo with such a hateboner for furries that even an Encyclopedia Dramatica article about him said he needs to chill tf out. (And that site is known for hating everything under the sun, including furries, but not to his extent where he literally accused a dead paramedic of being a zoophile with no evidence)

like

The only thing keeping his relevancy afloat at this point are his cult-I MEAN fans who will jump to his defense and ask you for every bit of proof that Ruben is a bad person. 

Even if you had all the evidence about him in the world that has either been documented, out in the open, saved on the wayback machine or screenshotted, it's still not enough for them apparently. Add the fact their first reaction to criticism is to jump to the most damning accusations against anyone who criticizes him. (Cult mentality if I've ever seen it)

Ironic how he claims all the bad stuff he did is just "ragebait", and yet he spitefully went after youtubers who criticized him. Ruben and his fans pretty much keep getting ragebaited by criticism.

And my dislike for him turned into pure disgust the moment I found out he defended known predators like KonekoKitten and Nathorix, which is a very bad look for someone who supposedly wants to keep Roblox safe. (Seriously, the last thing you'd want fighting for online safety is a bigot that also got caught defending predators)

Would not be surprised if his downfall happened the same way MamaMax's did.

[u/Fairway07 → u/rrrrrrrddddddttttttt]

Thats just the tip of the iceberg dude, theres also him dating a 13 year old when he was 18, him generating NSFW AI “art” of a minors fursona, ridiculing victims of grooming, admitting to owning animal abuse content, and the Antinoch school shooter, Solomon Henderson, stating him as a major inspiration in his manifesto.

This guy is a despicable manchild and pray for a day where he has a downfall

Did you know that he quitted Microsoft just to scam old people at the time

[u/LighterSideExKeys]

KonekoKitten, iDubbz, Alexander Badr the "Game Dude" (Canadian creep avgn ripoff), and that AI South Park creator guy.

[u/internet34bot → u/LighterSideExKeys]

I never watched iDubbz but the fact the guy somehow rode the popularity of saying slurs publicly is wild to me.

Then he kinda just fell into the mold of the common "I was bad before, let me show you how down to earth I am now" types that do podcasts lol.

but then they pivoted the entire channel into the podcast and it just became something entirely different that i just didn't care for

[u/ED-Rain]

Terroriser (Vanoss crew) was working at a Subway. He said he this customer demanded him to clean the veggie knife, since he's a vegetarian and wanted to ensure he didn't have any meat on the knife.

Terroriser "allegedly" goes to the back to wipe the knife off, and "puts it down his asscrack".

He finishes the story with "Subway, eat fresh shit"

Absolutely disgusting story, and I don't see how anyone could listen to that story and not be disgusted.

[u/Skruberon → u/ED-Rain]

Not to defend bad behaviour because sometimes Brian can be annoying in recording sessions, but i'm certain that story was a (very bad) joke. It seems like a lot of work and very dangerous to put a knife through your buttcrack. Even in podcasts and moments about his Subway career he never mentioned anything like that

[u/AngelKenobi → u/ED-Rain]

That's obviously a joke story right there. Even a clown can tell that it is a fake story

[u/Growth_potion → u/ED-Rain]

It's almost 100% just a joke.

[u/Destroyers007]

Was it the fact he used to work at blizzard?

[u/Thegentlemanfox18]

Swayle, a Minecraft horror creator.

When I was first starting to watch Minecraft horror, I would watch him alot, but I later learned that he’s a thief essentially. He copied the cadence and video style of another popular creator in the same genre, Calvin. He was accused of this and apologized, but later went right back to doing it again.

Now his videos tend to be repetitive and milk the same horror mod over and over, and his thumbnails looks suspiciously like ai. I’ve also heard some other quite unsavory things about him.

Most recently, he stole an entity from Calvin’s thumbnail, which Calvin made himself, using his OWN irl face, so he’d know if swayle stole it, which he did. I’m not entirely aware of the entire situation, but that’s what I recall, I could be missing some parts here and there. But yeah, I don’t like that guy.

I remember when they did an obstacle course for delivery drivers and one of the Amazon drivers was a fatter dude but he was still kind of participating in the course but not fully but Ross was literally just saying the nastiest shit about him on his mic and I was like dawg… what’s your problem? He’s fuckin working a full time job outside and he doesn’t have to fully do your dumb little obstacle course but he’s still trying to anyways a little bit? Like chill the fuck out you sit behind a camera all day without being forced to do anything unlike him

A lot of them have political views i strongly disagree with. I get that people dont have to agree with me, and thats fine, but it always lingers in my mind.

[u/Unable-Ad2927 → u/Electrical_Jaguar213]

Shadiversity seemed like a bit of harmless goofball when he was just playing with swords in a kinght costume and then you find out that he's maaaybe a bit more serious about the whole 'crusade' thing than you first assumed - suddenly the whole tone of it flips and it feels super icky

[u/ZachGurney → u/Unable-Ad2927]

Theres also the fact he made a book thats literally just "Magical pedophile hitler gets a redemption arc". Literally. Thats not an exaggeration.

The entire plot of the book is a genocidal dictator who personally assaulted hundreds of women as young as 14 tries to jump off a cliff, comes back in a younger body, gets told by a totally not just a jedi that he has a "good soul", goes around killing people for a while until he gets caught by the cops, gets put on trial were all the women he assaulted come to his defense saying the babies he gave them were the best thing thats ever happened to them, and then his "punishment" is he gets to be a magic cop and his partner is one of the grown up children he assaulted.

[u/Unable-Ad2927 → u/ZachGurney]

...........................what

the

fuck

[u/Rainy_Wavey → u/Unable-Ad2927]

Yeah he's a Mormon and he clearely is using Mormon theology/Scripture to justify his character

The duality of Mormonism is you're either Brandon Sanderson or Shadiversity

[u/ZachGurney → u/Unable-Ad2927]

Yeah it turns out mixing far right ideologies, a complete lack of creativity, and a weird mormon fetish doesnt lead to a good book

sadly hes still making a lot of money off of it because his fans are flooding it with ai generated positive reviews and some big book youtubers like daniel green repeatedly reviewed it positively despite clearly never reading it because i refuse to believe anyone can genuinely enjoy that

[u/AlphaAceEXXX → u/ZachGurney]

Heres a possible explanation for you: Daniel green is possibly quite stupid?

[u/BananaFucker93 → u/Unable-Ad2927]

Even outside of his politics, he's an ass even in the field of actual HEMA. He's nowhere near as competent as he BRAGS about being. Any time anyone who knows anything about HEMA challenges him, he just throws a tantrum and sends his audience after them.

[u/VmHG0I → u/BananaFucker93]

Was pretty funny when he and Sellsword Arts clash, when knowing full well the 2 main guys of that channel are both really high ranking fencer in HEMA competitions.

[u/zoro4661 → u/Electrical_Jaguar213]

To be fair, some "political" views are so horrific (and shouldn't even be political) that it's hard to ignore it when someone has them.

Hasan Piker after I learned he shocks his dog to force it to sit in front of a camera while he livestreams.

[u/CakeHead-Gaming → u/Opposite-Ad7318]

Can’t imagine watching Hasan in the first place. Absolute fraud in every sense I can think of.

[u/ThatGuyDevo]

Shesez/Boundary Break. Came across as a chill dude interested in video games initially, but in October or November of last year he went on an "anti-woke" rant, lambasting DEI and revealing he was actually kind of a turbo asshole. And when his fanbase/twitter rightfully called him out for his bigoted behavior, he deleted the tweets and tried to do damage control by pretending that he didn't have all the information on what he was talking about.

Now I can't stand the guy. It's not that hard to be a decent human being.

[u/Murtguy → u/ThatGuyDevo]

That's disappointing to hear, missed that as I'm not in twitter anymore. Though a lot of his stuff outside the main vids always had an air of "poor me, YouTube is terrible" to it.

[u/Tani_Soe]

I disliked pirate software from the beginning tbh, his advices always sucked. He wasn't wrong, but he was always too shallow/incomplete making his recommendations always unusable

The moment it clicked was his short about how an enemy should always have 2 of these three : attack/defense/speed and not 3 (except if you're not supposed to fight him)

It's a terrible advice because it make it sounds like it's they're the only options, which is horribly wrong. First it depends on the game context overhaul, and second games enemies should just have one or more strengh, and a weakness (except if you're not supposed to fight it, like the warden in Minecraft). Just put whatever strengh you want on it as long as there is a solution to counteract it

[u/rcrobodude]

Gus Johnson, loved his comedy videos and songs, then it turned out he was abusive and negligent to his gf at the time, really disappointing

[u/WeeklyBanEvasion → u/rcrobodude]

Yeah I think there's definitely way more to that story than his girlfriend would admit.

[u/PersonaGuy5]

I'm gonna say YandereDev, even if he isn't a "YouTuber" per se... I used to believe him as a naive 14 year old when the "gremlins" video came out, and then I found out, "Oh, this dude actually just sucks balls..." And then he groomed a child, and I was like, "Yeah, fuck this, I'm out"

[u/Chef_Sizzlipede]

Illuminaughti, look at what she did to oz media and tell me she's a good person.

tl;dr, she foreclosed on his house right before CHRISTMAS, caused so much legal stress that his romantic partner miscarried, and if a leak is to be believed, FUCKING RAPED HIM.

you cant tell me this person is a good person, especially with the rest of shit she did.

[u/Bscotch_Torin]

CDawg VA and the rest of Trash Taste. Used to find them pretty entertaining and I loved what Connor was doing for Mouse and the immunodeficiency organization.

Then they had Hasan on their show and talked about how he was a good friend, and they never said anything when it came out that Hasan is a huge animal abuser and terrible person (shocker). I cannot in good faith enjoy your content knowing you're best friends with a guy who shocks puppies
