When Good YouTubers Turn Bad.

[@jhxc64]

Hey y'all, just wanted to point out a mistake I made. Apparently "Blair White" and "iilluminaughtii" are two different KZbinrs, and the Blair behind iilluminaughtii is not Blair White. EDIT (8/24/2024): Yes I know Linus isn't bad anymore. I wish I waited a whole year to make this, that way there would be several other KZbinrs who actually belong here. This is the worst video I've ever made and I hate it.

If you REALLY wanna watch a bunch of youtubers get exposed to be monsters, have a look at the roblox community. The company is slowly bending towards dating inside a kids game, and roblox youtubers or notable users pretty much on a regular basis get exposed as groomers. There are tons of incidents in the past and new incidents just keep coming

i feel like this is something so different because a whole human life is valuable and it’s good to have compassion regardless of how close you are to them. i only watched him for a short time but i emotionally understood how painful it was for both the people around him and also that he was an amazing creator and him being aware of what was happening to him just makes it objectively painful to think about. don’t feel guilty for being human

[@alphatucanaletsplay]

Nobody's perfect, but many people just let themselves go, I think. They fall for some temptation or other, maybe deceive themselves if it isn't something that is obviously bad at first sight, and just slide further and further down the slope until something happens that brings it to light or stops them, or they get caught and prosecuted or something. Sometimes they reform, sometimes they never understand that it is their unwillingness to stand up to their instincts that is their downfall. We rule ourselves with reason or we are ruled by our instincts (and other people can rule us through our instincts too). If a person isn't able to go without some incentive or reward for the sake of the greater good, then they are ripe for addiction to bad behaviour or any other sort of addiction.

[@m4rt_]

I don't feel like LTT turned into a villain. Yeah, they messed up, but I feel like people are exaggerating things a lot. They have looked into and fixed their issues with inaccuracies in their videos. So that likely won't be a problem in the future, and if it happens they have now set up ways for the community to help them fix it, and for them to better fix it after the video has been posted. The auction thing was because they messed up in communication with billet labs, and internally too, it wasn't to be evil, it was because a sequence of mistakes. The allegations are still allegations and the only evidence is "trust me bro". Also, Gamers Nexus only exposed LTT because they got mentioned by an employee at LTT who said something they shouldn't have during a tour of their office. So it feels more like them being annoyed and making LTT look as bad as possible instead of mentioning it because it is an issue. Also, Gamers Nexus tries to portray their video as something that doesn't benefit them, but it does.

[@manuelsputnik]

I don't think it benefits them, it more likely just annoys them to see constant complaints from their diehard fans to see the half-assed processes from Linus Media Group and their hypocrisy. Because many of the mistakes pointed out are some that even I remembered as an LTT viewer. Linus Tech Tips had been marketing itself as not just entertainment but as factual, precise, and worthy of your trust. Linus, specifically, likely due to his inadequacy, wants to have his cake and eat it, too. He sets up a huge lab and invest in all of this staff to make the fabled repository of 3rd party tested knowledge that he envisions (very cool idea btw) yet when it's shown that they are flawed he does the "we make mistakes, we're sorry" instead of actually improving things. I don't know if it was laziness, lack of direction, negligence, or what... The staff at LMG knew there were a lot of issues with how they were running things: too much output with little time, production that's too streamlined, many new staff and no one to train the new staff, the misunderstaning that being transparent of potential conflicts of interest negates that conflict of interest (ahem, Framework, ahem, ASUS is LMG's largest sponsor by a mile, etc). Nevertheless, the problems just festered as they were. Seemingly, no one had it in them to put a stop to things and fix things. Honestly, they needed that critique to grow as a company, it didn't have to be GamersNexus even, yet they fumbled hard from the start in their response. Although, I was glad to see them take at least a week off to focus on restructuring and improving.

[@m4rt_]

@@manuelsputnik It does benefit Gamers Nexus if their main competitor is believed to be incompetent.

[@Alias_Anybody]

@@manuelsputnik Honestly, the behaviour from Linus fanboys, the "unless he kills someone on camera there's nothing wrong here and people claiming he has an inflated ego are just haters" irritated me more than LTT being sloppy.

Why is LTT even here

[@miri669]

this is literally jumping on a trend, without researching anything. Gamers Nexus was butthurt about a comment one LTT employee made during one office tour, that ended up in a handheld video of a fan, so he did an "expose" without reaching out for facts or comment from the other side, doubled and tipled down, and when LTT came back with receipts decided to NEVER MENTION THIS GIANTIC L AGAIN, but also never retracted his massive inaccuracies. He was very right on some quality issues, but dropped the ball completly on the monoblock auction thing, pulling conclusions from his ass and showing them as facts, assuming the only scenario where those are not facts is a stupid comedy of errors, and LTT came with receipts on the stupid comedy of errors. GN had so little integrity that he never issued a retraction of his literal slander, and it would be very bad look for LTT to sue, so he is probably safe...

[@industrial-wave]

@@miri669 did... Did you watch either of the videos lol. Aside from everything else, your waterblock claim is the most astounding. He ADMITTED WRONGDOING. He had a fan send it back so he could give it back to the company he admitted they stole it from. The company thanked him and gave it to gamersnexus to give it a chance in the scenario it was designed for, rather than giving it back to the guy who said the company's reputation wasn't worth the employee (iirc he said 500 dollars) time to test it with the card it was designed for. He also issued a public apology extremely quickly after all of his fans called him out on it.

MiniLadd, also known as Craig Thompson, was one of the funniest content creators, had one hell of a personality, and always seemed to be a respectful person. He used to be apart of the VanossGaming group for years, playing GTA V and Garry's Mod, playing with Vanoss, H2ODelirious, fourzer0, etc. Even after they split, Craig continued to thrive with making content, playing with other friends such as BigJigglyPanda, fourzer0 (again), etc. He made live streams known as Meme Streams where people would donate to play videos for him to watch, and said money he made would go to certain charities. Everything was going well for him, until someone by the name of Halley mentioned that he had been grooming her and another girl named Ash, both minors under 18, and had used the excuse of *unaliving* to get them to not say anything. Eventually they both spoke up, he made his pathetic "apology" video and I haven't watched another video since. Now here's me, someone who was nearly idolizing him, would watch his content as soon as it came out, over anyone else's. I see videos popping up, and my go to reaction is to dismiss them, that is until I watch one of them and I realize they're completely right... and I'm devastated. Someone who I once nearly idolized, was a pedophile. And I was shattered. I know how you feel about ProJared, but at least he was innocent. MiniLadd... is absolutely not.

LTT was a honest mistake. They overhauled their entire company to make sure that dosent happen. They acknowledged the problem and CLOSED PRODUCTION for a week or 2. You know how much money that cost? To pay that many people when your company isn't making money? Them auctioning another company's item was a mistake made by one of the hundreds of employees. They gave the company a blank check for it. The company never posted anything about being mad or owed by LTT. So it's clearly fine. Idk why so many people so mad at the LTT team.

Something like this happened in the Geometry Dash community. The bigger youtuber BY FAR is a Spanish guy called GuitarHeroStyles, he uploaded daily for around 7 years, and was the face of the entire community. You could say he was the person who carried the game to not die after not having a single update since 2017. However, in 2021, he was exposed for a lot of things, dming 14 year old girls and calling them weird nicknames with sexual jokes, sending photos of his boner, and basically harassing minors. It all got worsened because he was friends with a female youtuber called Juniper (who was a minor a the time), so his intentions with her were clear. All of his friends called him out for that, and in the beginning he actually gave an apology AND ADMITTED TO IT ALL. Only to delete it two days after, and continue uploading content just as if nothing had ever happened, manipulating his fanbase (which now consists of hispanic children who don't know the truth) and telling lies. Now, two years later, he's still uploading content, however he will never be able to come back in the community, and even if his channel is still growing, he will always have this stain.

The allegations against LTT look like stock issues that a small businesses trying to grow to a new level deal with.

But I just started watching LTT a few months before the recent controversy so I never knew him/them as a small creator so none of my emotional investment is in Linus as a small creator. They had just hired a new CEO before this story broke because Linus felt their current course was unsustainable for him and needed someone with more professional business experience.

They were not that really good even in the first place. They pretend to be good in the first place, and as time passes by, their real bad persona reveals.

when yoytubers are breaking bad

[@bloodlove93]

fun fact: I've heard the name linus tech tips more from the song still beat by mome boys than everywhere else combined.

[@bigaltz6403]

Ngl I really liked the video, but it felt incomplete to me, maybe that's partially my fault, since I was expecting something more like "Why good youtubers turn bad?" instead of "When good youtubers turn bad". I felt there could be a really cool discussion about personality, parasocialism and the things people decide to show about themselves on the internet compared to the human tendency to create bonds and trust over time, even when it is with people you don't know at all, but even so, great work!

Everyone can be cancelled bc Noone is perfect, we've all made mistakes and we shouldn't idolize anyone.

[@bliponthe]

Wait Linus was the meme guy?

[@4cps777]

Yes. It's from a stream that was uploaded with the title "I've been thinking of retiring".

[@bliponthe]

@@4cps777Thanks, I wonder how I haven’t watch that yet

2:36 I like how it goes from iilluminaughtii to iilluminaughtii to iilluminaughtii to iilluminaughtii to transphobic Matpat then back to iilluminaughtii

great transitions onto new topics

[@dugenpippenger4811]

The Linus Tech Tips one is a weak example. He responded quite quickly to the allegations. He provided a stupid yet understandable reason for the auction fiasco, of which he didn't even keep any of the proceeds, they were for charity. Plus most of the other tech youtubers love to blow this stuff out of proportion, because "omg linus screwed up" is a fantastic way to get clicks. Thats not a bad thing, it helps keep linus accountable, but it is overinflated

woah woah woah this video got reccomended to me and I realized its JHXC I knew him as the talented krunker map creator.

[@justa_normalperson9412]

yeah this reminds me too much of len totally and hatsume rue. talented people who the gacha community looked up to as artists turned out to be horrible disgusting people. this happens way too often for any youtube community for some reason.

[@8083music]

Good music choice at the end

[@gavinthecrafter]

I had this happen quite recently with a channel called Stickfab, if you've ever seen that video titled 🐢 or 🎺, yeah thats him. Unfortunately it seems that behind the scenes he's been doing some not so wholesome stuff... Really disappointing. I still like his videos, but you can't just watch them the same way you did before

[@plutonicattic7995]

Kinda crazy time to watch this

[@rechromatics]

Even though he isn't a KZbinr, Jonochrome hit the hardest. I can't tell if sexual misconduct is being normalized or if the platform is big enough for exposing those who commit sexual misconduct.

[@ominae1]

You know what you can take of all this? People need to stop from jumping into the vanwagon mob...

[@thisrandomdude_]

so, when are you gonna turn evil on us? a specific date would be appreciated, I want something concrete to look forward to

[@Jermem]

Great video as always mate

[@rolerroleris533]

It's already hard to know what is true or not with one person, and with something like ltt having 100+ people who all have different opinions and agendas it's impossible to know everything even if you worked there...

[@assassin8636]

So you're point is?
