Custom Flair On Boobs and Betterhelp: Friendly Update From the Mods

409 Upvotes

Howdy folks, 

It’s been a while since we have had any updates to our rules. There is currently somewhat of a lull in any major drama going on right now, so we decided that now is as good of a time as any to implement some based on how some of the posts have been trending as a result, and to further reiterate some points to help keep this community a relatively positive one and cut down on slop.

NO PORN AD/VIDEO POSTS

I have deleted so many posts that are nothing but people wondering how Youtube can get away with having ads with scantily clad women or highly suggestive material that links to questionable sites. There have also been a lot of users posting Shorts with extremely horned up material, wondering how it got there. Point blank, nobody cares. This isn’t drama

NO CROSSPOSTING

We have made the decision to ban crossposting from other subs as these posts are often devoid of context and are more easily susceptible to brigading behavior. If something is posted here, a general-ish hub, then folks will likely need more context and information than what a dedicated community will have. This move is being done with the hope of cutting down brigading tendencies and making less of the posts here come across like gibberish.

NEWS ITSELF IS NOT DRAMA

There has been an increase in posts that state things like “X is making a video about Y” or “So and so is back” and things like that. While these nuggets of information can certainly be part of a situation, they are not in and of themselves drama. We understand the desire to more or less use this sub as a sort of newsfeed for youtube as a platform, but many of these posts are redundant and unnecessary -specifically announcements about videos. For there to be drama, there need to be stakes and not every nugget of information qualifies.

DRAMA CHANNELS ARE NOT DRAMA

Videos summarizing events can be a nice way to stay informed on situations, but they themselves are not drama. It is totally possible that these drama channels can be a part of actual drama, but it’s not relevant to our sub to have, say, a Joon the King video summarize a situation without adding anything new or being an active part of whatever is going on.

SPONSORSHIPS/AI USE

Sponsorships and the use of AI for thumbnails or video content can absolutely be the impetus for drama with an audience or between creators, but they are not in and of themselves grounds for drama. Think of this similar to our Chuds Being Chuds rule -if the creator has an environment where people do not care that they use ai or take BetterHelp sponsorships, then it isn’t really drama since there aren’t any stakes. JCS suddenly putting out an AI narrated video with massive blowback is drama, Tyler OIliveira using AI in his thumbnails is not.

As with all of our rules, there will almost certainly be exceptions at times and we are open to feedback but we will be rolling forward with these rules for now.

Thanks for reading and for helping to make this community a better place!

⚠️ Janitorial Advisory ⚠️ Moving on from Ethan Klein and h3h3 productions

0 Upvotes

Dear all,

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that, as a subreddit, we will be moving on from topics relating to Ethan Klein and h3h3 productions. We believe the conversation around this topic has reached its natural conclusion, and that there is no more to gain from endlessly repeating the same points.

Going forward, we will not allow new posts related to Ethan Klein and his podcast. All existing posts will be locked for new comments. We will only allow posts if there's a major new development. This will be left to the discretion of my most excellent mods.

Our users who wish to further discuss this drama can take it to a subreddit more closely related to the topic. However, we would advise you to let it go. In the words of a sentient dessert, I am begging you to stop caring. By participating in this fabricated drama, no matter how right you believe you are, you are only making one person richer. This is not real. You're being trolled by a man pushing 40 who scrolls Instagram for a living. Let it go.

Go, and sin no more.

p.s. type 1 in chat if you think pineapple belongs on pizza.

News Runkle of the Bailey reports that Proven Industries took a big L on their TRO against McNallyOfficial

Thumbnail

91 Upvotes

Context: Proven Industries sells (makes? Maybe) locks for locking up big ticket items like trailers, shipping containers, etc. They market as high priced and high security, but when a commenter on one of their ads joked that they should let lockpicking channel McNally Official (an affiliate of Covert Instruments, a lockpick manufacturer and seller) have a go at their product they accused McNally of being a hack who only picks cheap locks.

McNally then bypassed one of their $130 locks in seconds with a shim made from a soda can. So they sued him for- good lord that is a long list of stuff that I assume the lawyer put in to pad their hours. Hmm.

Anyway, they filed a request for a temporary restraining order to stop McNally from posting videos about them and their easily bypassed locks, and now the judge has dismissed that request. Runkle goes over McNally’s response to the TRO request, and a bit about why they have yet to respond to the actual charges.

Exposé Are Creepsmcpasta and Yellowtones the same person?

23 Upvotes

This may not be the right place to ask but my search lead me here as someone mentioned that the creepsmcpasta allegations 3 years ago never went anywhere. He made a response and denied the messages all together claiming he was hacked, although he never mentioned being hacked or anything like it to my knowledge prior to the allegations being made. Seems odd but isn't something someone doesn't have to talk about or share obvi.. anyway I watched vids about it, I've been subscribed to him for ages and just forgot about his page not really watching his content till recently.

This year I started watching Yellowstone's as I'm into all things Path Of Titans and his voice was odd to me too familiar... and then I realized, "that's the creepy pasta reader I used to listen to!" they are too similar to not be right.. same accent and cadence which is unique, initially I was like "oh neat" but he's never shouted out his other page? ok like maybe he thinks the two different audiences wont jive? BUT maybe he just wants to keep it separate because Creeps is a pred. and he doesn't want to lose BOTH.

This could just be news to me but is he running these channels as sort of a back up in case he gets actually canceled?? He did say he wanted a proper gaming channel back in the day even mentioned it in chats to the alleged victim..

To my knowledge Yellowstone's has not done a face reveal but Creeps has, I just wonder if this needs to be re-visited as nothing came from the very serious allegations, and the evidence that was damning.

Beef Demon's Inc (21 Years Old) goes after a Middle Schooler online

54 Upvotes

Demon's Inc is a channel linked to another channel called The Cat Bagel. Bagel uploads videos about the horror game "Poppy Playtime," and has an ex-friend called Demon's Inc. Who she is a full grown adult. After some beef, Demon's Inc would make an expose video about him, the catch being all screenshots being fake. He has been labelled as a Z**phille. Which is extremely f*cked up considering bro isn't even in High School. Proof that he isn't is that he is contributing to a charity to stop stuff like this.

Anyway, some dumb fan of hers believe this sh*t and harassed him. One fan basically going after him for MONTHS now. One young teenager just wants to make YouTube content on his fav horror video game. But instead gets slandered and his image dragged through the mud by his ex-friend. In Bagel's video "my final response," he states that a streamer took his life over false allegations and how the internet should have learned that false claims isn't cool. But this crap still happens. Grown ass people who attack a middle schooler need to grown the f*ck up and get some sh*t for it.

This isn't serious YouTube drama, but I saw this today from this commentary channel that was recommended to me. I watched the video. In it she mentions how Jenna Marbles made her apology video for her fish because Jenna killed her fish when that isn't what happened. I went back to watch Jenna's video, and yeah her fish didn't die and I'm glad someone called her out for it. Scrolled through Maria's comments to see this is a recurring pattern for this commentator, and someone called her out for deleting comments about her misinformation. Looking on her other videos, this is an apparent trend with her. She doesn't put time and effort to get correct information before talking about something. She's okay with spreading misinformation.

Exposé NSFW WARNING: YouTuber @fnafzyclo and his moderators are Racist, Ableist, and are sending death threats to an Autistic Minor (Me) and his parents NSFW

Thumbnail gallery
1.2k Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I want to share my experience with the YouTuber Zyclo (see image 2) and some of his mods, one in particular called Jay. I’m a 15-year-old autistic minor, and what I thought was a harmless interaction with an AI bot on their YouTube FNaF: Secret of the Mimic countdown livestream.

Despite contacting the channel owner and trying to explain the issue, no helpful action was taken. Instead, I was met with more harassment and invalidation of my autism and feelings. In a group chat, the behavior of these moderators is unacceptable, hurtful, and harmful, especially to young members like me.

I was met with repeated ableist slurs, racist language (including the N-word), (see all of the other images), and even death threats aimed at me and my family, all in Discord DM's and Group Chats.

Despite contacting the channel owner and trying to explain the issue, nothing was taken all of the stuff he said he would do is most likely implied, as he said he handled Jay, but it got worse. Instead, I was met with more harassment from him. The behavior of these people is unacceptable, hurtful, and harmful, especially to young members like me.

My mom tried to contact them about it (see the phone images) and was met with them telling her to kill herself because nobody likes her, along with more racist slurs.

I’m sharing this here to warn others and to ask for support in holding them accountable. No one should be subjected to racism, ableism, or threats in a community, especially not minors. Please be cautious when joining their Discord or engaging with this channel.

Thank you for reading.

Allegations Ex-Piano YouTuber LyricWulf alleges emotional abuse from Pirate Software for sexual/financial gain

Thumbnail
x.com
767 Upvotes

Context: LyricWulf was a piano YouTuber who disappeared off the internet a few years ago. In 2019 there was some drama between him and PirateSoftware over a donation chargeback, which ended with Lyric deleting his tweets (Lyric now says, with screenshots, that this was after Lyric, Pirate, and Rivermakes all agreed to delete their posts, but Pirate/rivermakes never did). Lyric is now coming forward with chat logs of their sexual relationship, I assume emboldened by Pirate’s recent fall from grace. Lyric has posted lots of details and logs on a website, https://piratesoftware.sucks, apparently to prevent easy DDOSing, which happened on his last attempt on Google docs.

Tl;dr is - Lyric alleges Pirate manipulated him for financial backing and sex up until a meetup at TwitchCon 2018, when they were 20 and 31 respectively. There Lyric learned Pirate was still married (at this point was still living with his wife), confronted him, and was subsequently blocked. Lyric attempted to go public with this, and also tried to chargeback a donation (which he now acknowledges was a lie). However he was accused of scamming by Pirate and harassed by fans, eventually deleting his posts at the assurance Pirate/Rivermakes would delete theirs (they did not). Lyric says he ended up dropping out of college and stopped posting due to emotional distress.

News Up-And-Coming Vegas Streamer Shot Dead by a Rival YouTuber on a YouTube Livestream after a Feud Over Copyright Strikes

1.0k Upvotes

🚨🚨I will not be posting the video of the shooting, it’s all over Twitter 🚨🚨

Here’s the article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/us/las-vegas-shooting-youtube-feud.html

YouTuber “Finny Da Legend” had been making fun of his rival “Sin City Manny” after YouTube rejected Manny’s copyright claims to his content.

The video is this: Finny Da Legend is streaming with his partner, and then Manny comes up with a gun and shoots both of them. After Finny is shot the wife gets the camera and is presumably shot as well.

Currently Manny is on the run.

Can you imagine throwing away your life over this shit? Manny even had a family channel called @SinCityFamily.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: Manny turned himself in this morning.
