Let me know what you thought about this video! It's interesting to see how channels are using Maizen to make millions of views with fake content.

[@Kinenough]

I agree

[@H0t3lYT]

Thank you for listening to me and covering this situation. It's really really getting out of hand.

[@H0t3lYT]

I would also like it if you had credited me in the description since I informed you about those fake copycat Maizen channels in the first place with my video.

[@FizzyBanger]

@@H0t3lYT I was aware of them beforehand, and only I said that I might use your video in the commentary. Never ended up including it though, but I still appreciate your comment on the topic.

[@H0t3lYT]

I thank you for this response. I never had a person as big as you respond to my comments as nobody does that to me.

[@Atius]

Fake maizen is the type of stuff you'd never expect, Like imagine something like idk "Fake Steveee" and what not

[@FizzyBanger]

There were definitely lots of Steveee copycats when he broke the algorithm, so in a weird way this is an expected outcome on KZbin.

[@otu.]

Oh god, I wasn't aware that it has become this convoluted. But this is such a nice video, Fizz! Your editing is always on par too. It would be pretty cool if you'll make a video about how complex the algorithm is, since I actually like how you talk about it. So captivating.

[@joel9104]

Incredibly well documented and amazingly presented. Dude your hard work and love for making videos is really showing and it will pay off some day, I can guarantee it

[@obseletechannel]

It's too sad that kids are getting tricked into watching this stuff. I hope the people running the official Maizen channel are aware, because this is nuts.

[@FizzyBanger]

Yeah, I believe they are aware of it. The English channel recently changed their handle to @ maizenofficial, possibly to ensure that their channel is more easily recognized vs the fakes.

[@obseletechannel]

@@FizzyBanger Okay, now my brother won't watch fake Maizen videos :)

[@obseletechannel]

@@Mewing_Moai Yep!

@@FizzyBanger Oh and also you should make a video explaining how @cashminecraft was successful. He got to 1 million in 4 months-Crazy.

[@OneofthecustomersatCCCs]

@XDcole_ The Guys who are doing the official channel are fine. It’s Just the fake channels. It’s pretty kid-appropriate, but the sounds are a bit annoying and it’s not always vanilla minecraft.

[@Pazjor]

Another great video, super well done!

5:11 This reminds me of the DarkViperAU react content “drama”. He says reaction content creators are trying to maximise people’s time on their videos and no-one else’s, and that kind of applies here, as the smaller, copy channels are taking away revenue from the main channel. If you’re interested, it’s called “Reactors: The Professional Parasites”. I’m not going to link it, I don’t want to look like a bot, but it’s a similar concept to this.

[@FizzyBanger]

I'm a big fan of DarkViper, and well aware of the react drama. There are some parallels between copycats and reactors, as you mentioned. Although I'd argue that fake Maizen channels are actually responding to a content gap (kids want more Maizen content than what is provided by Maizen), and I don't think it has a big impact on the official videos.

[@benyuen7054]

You know,fun fact : The channel is actually made in Hong Kong 🇭🇰,and this year,2024,Maizen is now 10 years old and his real life self is my school friend,I edited one video for him so that’s it

[@auzarchives]

Minecraft kids content is becoming a trend rn. Im in a minecraft kids content server and man alot of big youtubers are in it. Sipover, minecraft curios and more (idk if they are all gonna do kids content or if their just there)

[@FizzyBanger]

it's definitely clear that Minecraft Kids content, despite seeming oversaturated, is in extremely high demand. I wouldn't blame established creators wanting part in the revenue. if they make the content with utmost respect for the audience they want to appeal to, I don't see any problems with it.

[@luciddlol]

what server is it?

[@RedstoneItems64]

This is quite depressing. I’d imagine they’d put that disclaimer in the description as a safeguard from any copyright claims/lawsuits. If the fakers start using ads though…

[@H0t3lYT]

Thank you for listening to me and covering this situation. It's really really getting out of hand.

[@emilyisoffline]

Great video once again Fizzy! :D

[@FizzyBanger]

Glad you enjoyed it! It took me quite a while to edit this one together :)

[@allblacknow]

The presentation, editing, everything is on point. Amazing channel

[@TheOneWithGoats]

Back in my day we used to watch popularmmos and stampycat. It's sad kids now need to watch these types of videos.

[@Daralexen]

Blame it on Elsagate and the rise of IPad parenting.

[@MonocleMC]

My fiancées little sister was watching Aphmau one time, I left the room and came back, and somehow she was on a video of animals being dissected, but the thumbnail was a Minecraft thumbnail. Even KZbin kids aren't safe.

[@CL-xt9rd]

Yeah aphmau is the worst channel ever

[@Crescent_Frazier]

The fact that mazien got that many subs in 4 years

[@auzarchives]

I have succeeded. I am now in a fizzy video lol. Im glad I could contribute to this video in some way

[@FizzyBanger]

ahahahaha, thanks for your help!

[@andriesntloedibe4364]

Maizen has Mikey in front of JJ... Maizen has JJ in front of Mikey. 🤔😳

[@pg3dgaming96]

when maizen started uploading the subs went up from 200k to 600k in 2 day

[@FishySight9685]

Before maizen was made, the same channel (idk its name back then) had a youtube vid called “Minecraft but everyday someone died” or something like that and i feel like im the only person who remembered that (they also did that ad thing to be on top of yt)

[@Titan_stopmotionsh0rts]

Me and my cousin have to tell his little brother the difference between the real and fake Maizen it sucks how the knockoffs exist and people aren’t caring

[@cassidy_soyeon]

As one of Maizen fan I hate to see how people trying to be them I mean I watch them a lot when I was younger edit:I glad that I was sub to og maizen

[@edgirlgaming]

you're 6

[@cassidy_soyeon]

@@edgirlgaming no I am not I might be young but not that young I was 8-9

[@BluishMink]

Some of the fake channels just copy the audio from a maizen video and match their scenes with the audio since they couldn’t find the voice changer that maizen used

[@vu-trathechildofhorrors5859]

Maizen’s original channel name was MikeyTurtle I saw an ad for their first video and I clicked on it a year ago

[@dashing690]

Nice vid, very interesting what they did with ads

[@MusicalNotes71Official]

I was playing a game and then their ad Appeared in a Minecraft server

[@M.rylan1]

There’s a word “God” like “Oh my God” was never being used from kids show. But it was used by some Minecraft KZbinrs, Like doing hardcore.

[@mik11112]

Kids channel: *Makes content so bad that the thumbnail can't even be shown in a video* KZbin: Other youtuber: *Says a swear word* KZbin: DEMONETIZED

[@LAbdulsalam]

Thanks so much I will tell everyone the news ASAP spread the news and hopefully more parents hear the News and teach there kids about reginizeing fake channels not just Maizen but more channels.

[@SamanthaGabrielle-wk4lk]

Actually it's because youtube makes money by these videos that's why youtube doesn't delete them even when you report that will do nothing

[@user3624-q6f]

I was also able to see a Maizen ad by opening an incognito tab.

[@Daralexen]

I also believe that their content in the English channel being very ESL friendly could be a factor.

[@HiroseKirkland]

Maizen was the only channel that reached 1 Trillion views on Japan making it more popular than Hikakin Games. Most people in Japan use it as a joke and content, but other english people use it as an impersonation because Mikey was more popular than Zenichi, Mikey is more unique than Zenichi. Most people loved Mikey over Zenichi that they used him for views, imagine Maizen's employee sees this they would be mad since their hard work from 2018 to 2023 lot's of things has changed throughout the years They are suffering from Physical Condition (both Mikey and Zenichi) And Zenichi got covid making his voice worser so they hired a voice actor replacing Zenichi while he was away. Maizen's big secret is in Instagram One of the post revealed someone's face but it's in blur another one is in Tiktok however i lost the video but during the tour the person showed a photo of Zenichi and Mikey being interviewed.

[@GAMER32231]

6:59 why would these maizen-imposters intentionally try to show inappropriate content to the masses of 5 year olds? I can’t think of any reason for them to do that.

[@Chad_NotHating]

Some of them do that because they want views or subscribers As all I watch Mazien a lot and overtime I see cringe fake name Of mazien it ruined my braincells

[@olivialucenti2572]

They’re sick, that’s why

[@harsiscool]

shock factor == higher average view duration == more money from ads

[@ememtalinio913]

When I checked the Maizen Japanese Channel It Was Made in Japan, While I Checked on The Official Maizen Channel It Was Made In The United States, It's The Same For MrBeast And Others... I Even Went Viral When I Moved From Different Countries, But My Channel Was Deleted

[@Gutty00]

Thanks for this video. As a parent of an avid maizen addict, it is concerning that we must monitor what said addict is watching. I can tell if it's real or not by the voices used, the language used and the way they act. I have reported some videos because of its content is not suitable. If only KZbin could do something about it aye

[@Murilothebander]

Well, Today they are turning into a +13 channel maybe because they recently posted BREAK IN STORY.

[@I_am_a_russian_spy]

I watch their videos and they are quite good! They have a really good storyline in every video. And they play different kinds of mods every video! So the audience have something different every time they upload! By the I love your content ❤

[@jaylegoninjago5615]

Damn, Maizen rizzes all other channels up

[@0n1c420]
