SIR I really dislike internetagey
Do they ship out to Kenya?
Random, but what’s the song you used for that ad? I love it haha
I’m not defending him, but honestly his Viewers kind of had this coming… Like if i could scam a bunch of money out of the same people who swatted me on the daily basis, I’d do it in a heartbeat,
I’m inclined to agree dude. A fool and his money are soon parted.
I mean, that doesn't justify it.
PRECISELY!! That's what I think also. He talked about how it was a HUGE mistake to let his fans control his life so I really believe it was his plan to get some type of payback/revenge. It doesn't justify it but in his mind it was equal revenge/payback
@@WhatIsMyLif3 Doesn't justify it, but i can see that being a kind of cathartic thing to someone like Ice. Nuke a town to get rid of a single street gang kinda of situation.
Youuu right lol
He's like that kid that always sits alone at lunch and you feel bad for but when you go sit next to him and start talking you realize there's a good reason no one wants to sit with him
and he found that same kid from every school and put them in the same room together to scam them. wt actual f.
Simple Definition
Fans swatting Ice, and Ice scamming them back really embodies the meme of "clown to clown communication" in my opinion. Not to justify what either of them did, but it's hard to deny that it's kind of entertaining to watch from an outsider's perspective.
Don’t hold back. It’s completely satisfying that he scammed them. They deserved it. His toxic weirdo twitch community got what they deserved.
Until ice went full dark side, there was a time I enjoyed some of his streams and it was his annoying toxic fans that made me quit watching him. They spent every waking moment doing everything possible to ruin the fun or be racist or bully anyone they could. I was glad to see them get some karma.
its not communication tho? its action
I personally think that swatting at a minimum should be a attempted murder charge, with how dangerous it's been proven to be and how many laws it already breaks people apparently need a stronger deterrent
Who are you charging? The whole idea is that they are called by anonymous keyboard warriors. For Twitch, it was much easier (and cheaper, even if you take into account his TTS revenue royalties) to cut him out and save face/advertisers than to try and figure out who called the cops and committed the crime...
I'm curious to know how many people get charged for swating it's like a felony we are talking years in prision
@@stevermacsoucher1625 people typically get caught when they do it to someone high profile, but law enforcement doesn't really go after normal people when nothing bad happens.
It’s not difficult to find a swatter. If they are using Skype to make the call, the feds can get the swatter’s details from Skype. If the swatter was using a VPN, look at the payment details the associated Skype account used to buy the credit to make the call. It’s not difficult.
agreed
It’s actually unreal that ice poseidon literally can just admit to mass fraud on camera and there will be 0 repercussions for doing so…
Repercussions idiots gave him money willingly
Ken Three Times wtf is this shit
@@MONKEYDZETS You really believe stealing is fine as long as violence isn't involved?
Genius, not a fan or anything, just wish it was me that pulled it off.
Hes so shameless and unapologetic about it too
When he was talking about it being difficult for him to be social given that he doesn't go to school or work, I really felt for him. But then he told an employee that women will have sex with him if he's wearing a camera, I began to understand his problem
Exactly. He was the kind of person to annoy and harass people for attention or just as a “joke” then get confused as to why people didn’t want anything to do with him and why he struggled socially. Zero self awareness. Unfortunately that kind of person thrives online so it only reinforced the behavior.
@@ssharkbait yeah I’m a service worker and we deal with so much shit from random assholes, like why are you just harassing random people that are just doing their jobs?
@@AleksandarBell service workers are seriously the unsung heroes of our society.
I felt her anger when she says “not really” LMAO especially after he just bitched about prices as if she has any control over that
“It’s hard being in social settings :/“
(Also says things that makes him come off like a douche/tool)
whats so strange to me is how ice was crying on stream about how he cant make friends and is a loner shut in but then he goes out on irl streams and harasses people no problem
The reason he can't make friends is incredibly clear from his streams lmao
@@beautifulroses1420 i doubt ice was lying about that, you can kind of tell from his streams
@@user-vk5vq8co6x a loner shut in isnt gonna walk up to a woman and tell her that “if he has a camera strapped to his body women will have sex with him”. The only type of people that would say something so off the wall is a douchebag thats use to his friends amping him up when he says such things, or someone with literal mental disabilities.
its a self sabotage technique, if he acts out in a way that is almost guaranteed to get a negative reaction then people's rejection can't be taken personally and wound his ego
Well yeah it's like a 5 year old complaining that girls don't like him when he only knows how to interact with them by making fun of them or pulling their hair.
If harassment is your only tool for interacting with other humans you are going to be lonely.
This isn't a downward spiral. He has always been the same person. He is a reflection of the community and thats why people like him.
This is a word whew…. I feel a person like this must revel, negatively or positively, in the chaos of a lifestyle like this guy. The resignation to accept any & everything happening to a person is so odd and kind of sad to see unfold. For clicks & money. But what haven’t people done for money? Technology just gives people more ways to do what they’ve always done. Innovate new ways to make & steal money.
My bf & I debated recently about how social media/streaming impacts us psychologically. I think given what we know now + later research, future generations will consider limitations on screen time and such. I think we have a lot to learn still about how this constant contact is effecting us on a macro & micro scale.
SN: I’m chuckling at myself commenting here because I know none of these people or situations but j Aubrey does such a great job with his videos that I find myself binging regularly lol I just got into UA-cam a year-ish ago (I’m almost 30 😂)
I’m shooketh to realize just how much pop culture I’ve missed since the last time I actively used UA-cam…in 2006 lol 🙃😂
His fans deserved to get scammed.
I genuinely forgot ice existed until this happened and I'm not surprised he ended up scamming people
Genuinely never knew he existed LOL
@Atom shut up bot
@@ArtsyHumanbean makes sense. Especially if you’re not near the twitch community.
I am not surprised the shit got even this far
Literally my same exact thoughts he always gave me a certain creepy vibe
I cannot believe Ice Poseidon did something scummy and extremely stupid this truly out of character for him
He's always been like this. Le'ts not forget when he groomed a child.
Yeah like Jack the Ripper murdering people is out of character!😂
@@croc-plunderenthusiast1396 way to pick up the very obvious sarcasm.
@@Hey_Jamie to be fair there are a lot of serious ppl who say shit like this
@@Hey_Jamie Way to pick up zero bitches
You forgot the fact that Ice would bring emotionally vulnerable people on his stream just so he could bully them in front of thousands of vicious hyenas in chat.
Scuffed Thanksgiving comes to mind.
I think a large portion of his viewers were also emotionally vulnerable people.
this but also burger andy is a freak
this is completely true but i have to say the jimmy mcgill profile threw me off
The thought never crossed my mind that maybe he did this as a way to secretly get back at his audience for all the shit they’ve done until seeing it all laid out like this. That might be totally wrong but it honestly wouldn’t surprise me. He didn’t help matters but it’s not to see why he felt no loyalty towards his base when they have negatively affected his life in so many ways.
That's what I was wondering to
except he did everything he could to constantly get raided because that's where all of his success and profits came from. he was never a victim.
Saying "well the twitch TOS never said NOT to leak your location" is the same as saying "well the instructions on this microwave never said NOT to microwave your cat."
Fun fact: when the microwave was invented and used in the public, people thought they could put their dogs or cats inside to quickly dry them off, and was added as instructions to not add living things into the microwave
@@everythingpony wait did someone actually did it?
@@alexreiz6496 I searched it up and it's just a tale that people told each other its from the 1940s. But people have put pets in their microwave before in 2010s
@@alexreiz6496 If a stupid thing is possible, someone has probably done it. And then posted it to TikTok so millions more people will do it.
Obviously the TOS said that or he wouldn't be banned for it. Don't get why he was permanently banned tho. Twitch rule enforcement is draconian af from what I've heard.
I formed a personal disdain for Ice Poseidon once I saw a clip of him essentially gaslighting his then girlfriend for stream clout. Long before he turned out to be a scam artist.
i thought the foundation said you wernt allowed to post or comment on youtube dr bright?
>long before he turned out to be a scam artist
Didn't he played runescape for fuck and giggle lol?
@@wilmagregg3131 don’t be a narc. No ones found him yet.
Horseshoe bay never forget
@Obi-wan Kenobi ALLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHUAKABARRRRRRRRR
Ah, a Floridian, makes sense now. Working as a kitchen manager and a line cook, dude must have been doing all the drugs all the time
If you see an 'influencer' pushing a crypto coin, you should know why. It's always a scam.
Ice Poseidon always gave me weirdo vibes. That awkward dude you went to school with that once he finally got a chance at being popular did anything for that attention to stay. Which included acting like a fuck boy because he felt he could for the first time in his life.
Finding out he than took as much advantage out of this power that he could came as no surprise at all to me.
What’s most most shocking to me, is that his mother is a health care professional yet never once thought to get him some help, or to step in when she saw that he was getting to close to his audience. Like I get being in denial, but I can’t help but think he could’ve been somewhat normal if someone stepped in
I think he admitted to being autistic. Not really much you can do about that.
@@ihateeverything9887 in terms of medication nothing you can do about that. But there certainly is a lot of tools you can learn in therapy to be able to understand your diagnosis and how to best handle certain things especially when it comes to social aspects of life. Also it doesn’t excuse his behaviour of taking advantage of his audience. My cousin suffers from Asperger’s syndrome. To the point he is still unable to live on his own as an adult. That being said he still works hard at being social, doing activities to gain friends and works hard to overcome really hard obstacles. Like one time studying abroad for a couple months staying with another family, which was extremely difficult for him. Having mental health problems or a disability doesn’t stop you from being a good person and making positive choices for yourself. It just means you may need extra help or support to be able to do that. Something family and friends should do to be your support system.
@@PrincessZaire100 my neighbor had a kid that had ADHD and she did nothing to help him no matter what, used to let him starve, didnt teach him hygiene, let him get bullied, degraded him, beat him, all because she was depressed and going thru a divorce. BTW her issues were always there to begin with, the divorcee didnt cause them, her actions and issues caused the divorce. Whats funny now is that shes trying to be a special needs teacher LMAO she absolutely the last person that should be with kids, let alone kids that require those type of resources
@@PrincessZaire100 so the moral of the story that I just shared is that just because an adult has a certain job, it doesnt actually mean they are worthy of it or will actually apply to help others. Just like how Doctors and nurses have denied science backed vaccines, in a job where science is key
The absolutely least surprising downfall of all time.
@@EgoKen No one cares.
nice smile
And it isn’t over yet
Honestly I don't have much sympathy for him in terms of how his audience treated him because he actively encouraged that wild behavior for his profit. Open door policy and exposing your flight gate? He lacks self awareness and doesn't care about how his actions affects others be it those ppl on the plane or the ppl he harrasses in the streets. He's really just the sad escalation of a dude who refused to better himself. His longest lasting relationship was with his audience and it is a mutually toxic one.
amen someone with healthy rationality in this comment section. i was getting worried with all these toxic takes.
Yeah in all fairness, the kind of content he made cultivated that audience. Mutually toxic is accurate.
as the people of r/AmITheAsshole would put it, ESH ("everyone sucks here").
Any normal person would take themselves out of a toxic situation.
That kid standing there holding the gun is so chilling. Truly scary af. You can see Paul is shook too.
Ice Poseidon always seemed pretty sketchy to me, not too surprised he did all this

Remember when ppl called ice a scammer if he simply didn't read a troll donation 😁 he said let me scam yall forreal now
EXACTLY!!!
Imagine giving Ice Poseidon a bunch of your money to buy into his bitcoin scam and expecting anyone to feel sorry for you.
Bitcoin scam?
As someone who has gone from busboy, to linecook, to waiter, to manager of house at an upscale restaurant, I have to agree with Ice on his stance comparing the two careers.
The restaurant industry is certainly more intense, but streaming is MUCH more stress-inducing.
The gentleman speaking to him is an absolute knob, comparing the absolute worst situation of one job and the absolute best of another.
I was acquaintances with the very small irl streamer who called himself “Arab Andy” and he admired Ice Poseidon so much he copied him in the worst way… he had a Text To Speech donation that said C4 has been activated and he got the cops obviously pulled on him on a college campus. There’s footage all over UA-cam of the event caught on film. He spent 2 years in prison. I only heard of Ice Poseidon because of him.. this type of content is so desperate and sad to see….
I don't even know what that means or how that works. "Text to speech donation that said C4 has been activated"????
@@kenkaniff8428 When you recieve a donation on twitch, it can optionally be read aloud by a Text to speech voice. Someone donated to Arab Andy with a message along the lines of "the c4 has been activated", a bomb threat basically, and the TTS read it out loud. In a room full of people. On a college campus.
@@GoldSpangledBananaBoy ok! That makes perfect sense now. Thanks!!
@@GoldSpangledBananaBoy that's pretty fkd up tho😂🤣
@@kenkaniff8428 Oh people have done worse. Calling the police by using the TTS to have people's iphones dial 911 since Siri recognizes it. Or just blasting racial slurs.

I appreciate this distraction from.. uh.. the world lol. We all need it no matter our situation. It’s so important, the joy from creative endeavors and projects like these. Thank you j aubrey 🥰
@Atom no
Nigga what
Video starts with news about a hoax bomb threat,
Auntie: Wow thank you so much for this distraction from the real world!
This sort of content isn't actually good for mental health, it might seem like it short term but it's not. I depend way too much on UA-cam for entertainment just like millions of others. I genuinely don't think this format of content is beneficial to our minds. Not saying it's bad, it's well made and everything for what it is but it's still superficial and not really emotionally or mentally stimulating, and the format continually conditions our minds to seek out more quick dopamine hits.
Dude how do u make a comment that fuxks ur comment
When you do scummy things, you attract scummy viewers. That's what happens. I've watched some more controversial streamer and I've been on streams that mainly promotes positivity and good vibes. Their viewers act completely different. Honestly, I just prefer the good vibes streams because that is what I need in my life.
.... it comes with a salt dispenser, and a towel
Boy, these $49 boxes sure are something. Glad you got a sponsorship deal, but holy shit no thanks.
Hahaha😂
Bowl, salt cellar, towel. For nice quality versions of each that's 17$ each item. Which is pretty cheap if you're buying nice quality versions of these objects. But you'd have to like the specific set in the box... it's okay
Fanbase: swats ice daily for months
Ice: scams fans
Fanbase: how could you do this, this is so mean
Clown to Clown communication
The fans weren't callers
Why would fans swat him, they’re not fans if they do that, they’re also not fans if they leave when he lowers his streams. He scammed the ones who had no power in his swatting, and who stayed with him after his low points
This is absolutely wrong. The "fans" that swatted Ice were long gone by the time the crypto scam happened. The Purple Army has been long gone and most of them became known for being in the IcePoseidon2 or IP2 community that outright snubs Ice. Same fans will tell you straight up you even deserved to get scammed if you trusted scumbag Ice enough to put your money into his crypto scam.
This wasn't Ice's revenge, watch the video again, he's always been a scam artist. He took advantage of the fans after he tried to appear as a goody two shoes, not people who swatted him. These were probably 99% innocent people who weren't aware of how much of a scumbag Ice is. The 1% might've been someone who knew, but still put money into it just for the fun of it.
@@SSJ8Goku im not saying ice is in the right, but can you blame him for having no sympathy for his audience when the same audience made his life hell?
Mad respect for J Aubrey for enduring all sorts of odd things to keep us all entertained, especially that RV saga
@@EgoKen
Reported for spam. Thanks for playing.
That RV trip had so much wrong happen, especially the whole thing with OnlyUseMeBlade who I do believe raped one of the fans that came onboard and slept on the RV (even though Blade was never charged).
imagine swatting the dude, getting him fired from that og job, making everyone around him hate him, among other things for years and years. and it seems he finally got his own form of payback. thats a W in my eyes
People that did all of that are not his fans and wouldn't give him a cent, tragedy in all of this is that he scammed people that really liked him and belived in him. So no that is not a W...
I mean.... Going from "COnstantly harassed and Swatted by my fans" to "Scamming Said fans for tons of Money" seems like a pretty Straightforward Pipeline
Being a live streamer seems like the worst thing ever. Being around him is so dangerous.
Most of them are incredibly annoying in person. It's really weird to se someone that you're used to seeing behind a screen in real life, they are obsessed with their phones more than 10 year old kids with a game.
@@ZeranZeran did you stream snipe ice or something?😂
@@Donsthought Nah but I used to watch him daily. I miss Hampton Brandon. He was hilarious. Ice just got weird and toxic.
@@Donsthought also, I live in LA and visit hollywood for work, so I see live streamers almost daily with their lil backpack battery setup. Usually around bars and stuff at night. Everyone thinks theyre gonna blow up next and be rich from ip2 or something. and some do, life is weird. Streamers are obnoxious, loud, and annoying in person though. I'm looking forward to ruining a live stream one day. Im an asshole.
@@Donsthought ALSO I saw ice and Brandon walking around places I visited on a daily so it was weird. I'm pretty sure I saw hampton Brandon at a bar in hollywood way back in like 2016 but i didn't wanna bug him. He a cool dude. It was a gay bar, but he had a lady with him haha.
I still don't understand his thought process for talking to coffeezilla. Like what did he want to accomplish? Or was he just that egotistical that he thought ppl would just ignore what he did?
His thought process is probably apathy, he must think nothing will happen to him and he is probably right.
What many fail to understand is that Ice loves ANY publicity. Good or bad---it doesn't matter to him. It's what got people talking about him in the first place
@@bluester7177 Yeah. He knew there's no laws protecting crypto transactions, he said it himself in the video. He knew he could scam people with 0 consequences and he was right.
Dude looks so sleepy most of the time. I didn't expect him to be the public nuisance type.
On making friends-I remember being a little kid and knocking on the door of a new family that moved in asking, “You got any kids in there?” I was best friends with the girl who came out until my parents divorced and we moved years later. I feel this guy because you can’t really do that as an adult. Go to a random door, knocking and asking, “You got any women my age in there? Send em out!”
So that crypto scam was basically the final straw that broke the camel's back
No, homie was already MAD irrelevant
Yeah, but most people dropped off when he hit his “reformed” phase
I think it was his plan. He wanted revenge for having let his fans control his life!!
u finally got verified lol
@@kenkaniff8428 Thing is he let them to control his life. Not the other way around. And what for ? Becoming a mad psycho it's almost like GyspyCrusader ending.
I feel mildly bad for him with how the fame took over his life so hard, and so early. However the outcome of everything that happened is of his own choices, and him scamming fans proves that money was always the driving factor in his life. It really just proves the negatives of a parasocial relationship between a creator and their fans.
Thats still his fault. He chose this life and had the responsibility to be a law abiding citizen
I don’t
@@ChillLee24 my thoughts exactly
Nah
@Karina Lopez vulnerable, terrible, swatter, fans. I feel so bad.
I’m not condoning his actions but I don’t sympathize with anyone who lost money. Ice is clearly a product of what the internet turned him into. letting random people control your life and getting paid to be controlled is not going to end well. I am sure he didn’t have any delusions of expecting the good in people to win over the urge to create chaos with no immediate consequences, but no one could have imagined the real consequences of doing so- losing your own self consciousness. This guy doesn’t care about anyone or anything and has made his identity that of someone who pushes the limits of legality and social boundaries all for the sake of seeing how far it would go until he is thrown in prison for a long time or dies. He will only get worse.
If you followed him for years and ignored the person he was turning into, and the community he participated in then the blame is on you.
... Bad take. Think of your favorite genocidal dictator and realize that he was also the product of whatever it was that turned him into that if you want the simplest and fastest way to debunk that reasoning. Doesn't mean what they did is not their responsibility or that their victims deserve to be blamed.
Get yourself some empathy for the people who were actually hurt, not the abuser. Whether he was a victim at some point is completely moot. People get abused daily and they don't turn around to hurt others just to "look out for themselves"
@@vetreas366 That's... a lot. Comparing a shitty twitch streamer (well, ex-twitch streamer) to a GENOCIDAL DICTATOR?? A person living in a dictatorship can't just close the tab and turn off the stream.
@@liyre4189 Yeah, it's the worst comparison possible
@@vetreas366 even worst take trying to compare the two. In one scenario the people WILLINGLY participated. Only so much sympathy needs to be given to people that go out of their way to make shit decisions. At this point ice showed he was trash with prior incidents, joked that he would do the exact thing he did before hand, and youtubers scamming their subs via crypto was well known. With all those factors if they choose to do that why should we feel sorry again?
This feels really weird because I'm the same age as this guy and he reminds me a lot of this guy who was in my year (and our wider friendship group) who looks a bit like him, and we're only about a month younger than Ice. We were both very quiet and reserved kids who used to say weird ~random~ stuff because we were both quiet and socially awkward (he had more status because he'd been in the group longer, though, which he very well knew and used to his advantage). The only difference being we grew out of that phase. I'm sad this guy still felt the need to cling to that act well into his twenties.
Only j aubrey could make me interested in someone i never heard about
Yo Foreign what up!!
Kinda feel like in a way he felt his fans deserved to get scammed since they played a hand in having a negative effect on his personal life for the hell of it, so he probably justified himself in scamming them for the hell of it because that's what he felt they deserved, even laughing about it when it was found out what he really did, and honestly, I'd want to get back at them too, even if I was the one that encouraged the harassment at first once it grated on me for a while, especially if i knew I'd get away with it and leave some of the more extreme trolls crying their eyes out, still not defending him but it's a grave dug by multiple stupid decisions over time.
Honestly, that's how I see it, justified or not, but his 'fans' have made him suffer for years, this truly just feels like the finale of that, why would he care about his fans as anything but quick cash when he knows the only entertainment they get from him is cruelty.
@Ronin00 harass his girlfriend and ultimately cause the relationship with probably the first girl if not only girl he actually loved to end, swat his family, dox him, call in a bomb threat at an airport while he was boarding a plane which nearly ended his career entirely, and so much other stuff you can look up too... it's incredible he didn't just quit while he was ahead cuz I'd start to think they wanted to ruin my life and just say "fuck you guys I quit, I'm getting with my girlfriend and it's none of your business about it" and just kinda spite them by not continuing to give them content so they can argue amongst themselves and blame each other for making me quit while I enjoy the millions in the bank with my awesome girlfriend
EXACTLY!!! That's what I think also. He talked about how it was a HUGE most to let his fans control his life so I really believe it was his plan to get some type of payback/revenge
@Ronin00 what abby1syartist said and also the fact that he let them control his life which ruined so much for him and he even openly talked about how big of a mistake he made by letting his fans control his life so I really believe it was his plan to get some type of payback/revenge on them. If you wanna hurt someone, you hit them in their pocketbook!!
not all of his old fans are his new fans tho, this isnt actually justice. The Leeches and his yes men got off free (he even followed their footsteps), the more famous of his swatter got off free.
After watching this it seems more like a payback/revenge thing on his toxic community rather than a scam just for the money. More tragically out of control than purposefully evil.
it always amused me how he constantly victimized himself over and over again anytime there was backlash
Never heard of this guy until now, think I dodged a bullet.
Me too!! 💯FACTS!!😂🤣🤘

PRECISELY!! That's what I think also. He talked about how it was a HUGE mistake to let his fans control his life so I really believe it was his plan to get some type of payback/revenge. It doesn't justify it but in his mind it was equal revenge/payback

@@rosettastone741 sure, he was trying to change, right after he got revenge.
@@rosettastone741 I re-read it, what else can I say but the old community created what they wanted
I actually never heard of this scandal before, I bet Twitch is very glad they didn't let him back on. It's sad he's so open about such an awful thing, but that transparency seems to be the reason he's been getting away with so much
This taught me 1 major lesson: Stay tf away from Twitch, it's awful
It's honestly what you make of it.
Where Ice uses the fan interaction maliciously, and with zero regard for safety- Others can use it to create a more dynamic and fun experience for the viewers.
A lot like YT, it's all in the content creator.
@@BlackDogsAndLadybugs i get that. It's just I've seen more bad than good from Twitch
@@averybondeson3322 Yeah, fair enough- lmao. I think Stan culture is also a huge part of that, and large audiences there are really toxic.
@@BlackDogsAndLadybugs Eh. I disagree. Twitch is a very toxic platform and pretty much any stream is a massive echo chamber that isn't worth investing your time with. It's wise to not get involved much in the community and just stick to being a lurker if you're interested in watching a few streams. Being a streamer can either be the best thing ever and or it can ruin your life and get you cancelled. There's rarely an in-between.
@@LethalByChoice I guess I personally just haven't had an issue because like you said- I keep chat closed, and don't use Twitch often. That's definitely an important distinction, lol. And I mostly watch art based or horror content, which overall is a decently friendly, interactive space- where creators won't say anything "cancel worthy", because they're usually part of a minority group themselves- or are an open supporter. I appreciate your insight, though.
"It's not a Ponzi scheme, or a pyramid scheme. I don't like those labels"
All these crypto scams around now its crazy. Its like the more the celebs get in it , exposes the scam.
I do not like him and I never have, he had come into our town and waved a gun at somebody because his audience wanted him to. The person he put the gun called the police and then called every single one of us in town as we were at work and told us to look out for this guy. I would not put any of this past him that he did this time or anytime
It’s so bizarre how this guy seemed to just have a pretty messy life..until you mentioned how he had done multiple scams over the years.
The intro already made me laugh with the "yeah, it's a ponzi scheme"
Hampton Brandon is somewhere under a bridge hitting a crack pipe watching this video on a $40 android phone while laughing his ass off
Man he was a real pioneer irl streamer. His toxic surouding dragged him in so much drama, trouble and dumb decisions...
Literally once a year there is a video about Ice Poseidon's "downward fall," for like the past 7 years. He ain't falling, he learned how to circle the drain.
There is *SO* much to unfold with the Ice Poseidon universe. I'd love if this channel tried to unravel it. You could easily make a full length (or several) documentary about it
Exactly. So much to unpack. There's a goldmine waiting to be found for those willing
I agree that there's alot to unpack but I don't think alot of it is that interesting. Especially to warrant a multi part full length documentary series. This video basically covered the greatest hits.
He actually thinks he's like an investment genius or something for doing this his Twitter post was utterly delusional
Hey there , Mr. Aubrey as a recent return to UA-cam I found your videos so entertaining. Your commentary is absolutely on point. I find myself laughing outloud...loudly. One other point is your brave endeavor to be unmonitized gave me the opportunity to experience youtube without commercials . You really should get a kick back since I went to u tube premium. Even when u break for your sponsor your timing again is perfect. Having u watch the accidents that happen as we drive thru life makes it a hilarious adventure. Taking a moment out of life to just smirk and laugh,
perfection. Thank you !
Before I knew how shitty of a person he was I used to feel kinda bad for him because he got swatted constantly. My sympathy dispersed very quickly when I learned about his shitty behavior and god awful personality. I honestly think he gave the airline info on purpose for attention. He knew at that point he was a high target for swatting and still gave out the gate info. He probably saw it as a way to get the main stream media's attention. He's just a privileged dude that thought he was entitled to people's money.
He isnt even a shitty person hes a reflection of yall
@@NeanderthalDogma no hes a shitty person
I’m glad I don’t have a follower complex, listening to people scheming together and people getting scammed/abused by these so called “celebs” so glad.
I mean dude's hanging out with Scam Pepper, what do people expect?
I mean Scam Pepper is surely a multi millionaire by now. But yeah, he is still a piece of trash.
Gotta be honest, as somebody who had only ever really heard the name 'Ice Poseidon' in passing a handful of times before the whole crypto scam, I really felt for all the fans he betrayed. And now I kinda...... don't?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying what he did was _right,_ not by any stretch of the imagination, but I also can't really bring myself to muster up any pity for what sounds like the absolute worst 'fanbase' imaginable.
This whole video was just one big 'yikes' for me.
Ice Poseidon scammed a bunch of swatters, Ice Poseidon is based
Yes, you shouldn't. They really are just as terrible as he is. He happily enveloped within the toxicity of the fanbase he created until it bit him on his own rear hundreds of times.
he literally did everything he could to get swatted constantly because that's what brought him clout and profit. the swatters were a few people, at least one close to him. and the nature of a fanbase is obviously a direct result of the nature of the content that draws it. that content was literally himself seeking active participation in him being a shithead.
Been waiting for this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's nice to see how scummy some people are. Makes you feel better about all the things you think make you a bad person.
I mean it's not nice for the people they mislead but you know. Silver linings and all that.
@Uari protip: nobody reads a wall of text. This is a script for a video. You clearly have a lot of insight into this and passion so make a video.
the Jerry Springer effect. it draws a lot of trash.
@@greenhowie people wont read anything thats more than a sentence, thats how stupid they are.
Been really down lately and this vid is definitely making me feel a bit better. Always amazing content, thank you.
@@EgoKen Stop spamming this bullshit.
he's such a loose cannon, but his genuineness and goofy style were really entertaining
Loose cannon is what annoying people call themselves.
Love the editing on this video! Great work
Ice literally sold his soul to twitch
He was only on Twitch for about a year. He craziest moments happened when he was here on UA-cam. He was more popular on UA-cam than he ever was on Twitch.
@@OnlyVocals na, he was only popular in the first case ALL BECAUSE OF TWITCH. And later on UA-cam he was already popular and the twitch viewers moved over to UA-cam. But it weren't more viewers, actually the viewer count went down by a lot at first.
Was waiting for your coverage on this topic. Cheers dude x
the editing in this video is stellar, awesome work man!!
i love that your vids are informative yet comical, makes it fun to learn about stuff
My only issue is that half the time I'm disgusted by the people being covered so I can't always enjoy the jokes :(
I honestly don’t know who this man is and I’m thankful for it.
Ur editing is so sick man ur the only youtuber that keeps me hooked and on edge.
BRUH, THE STOCK FOOTAGE AT 6:15 IS THE UNIVERSITY I WENT TOO, WHAT FUCK, THAT THREW ME FOR A LOOP
Great video. I feel like you could make an 8 hour long video on this man and all of the antics he got up to
Honestly, I feel bad for him. He made his fame from living without privacy and if he chose privacy, his toxic/voyeuristic fan base would probably stop watching. It's clear that getting swatted and not feeling safe in his own home had a clear impact on his already damaged perception of the world which lead him to the choices he made. My mother put me in one of those tough love boarding schools because I was just a weird kid and she didn't want to put the work into understanding me. That school stripped away all my privacy to the point where someone would watch me when I peed. After that I still struggle with understanding that I deserve privacy and I need to respect everyone else's too. Trauma fucks with your head.
Way to put it into perspective. The rug scheme struck me as weird because for a while it seemed like he was genuinely trying to become better. Maybe he just got tired or it and wanted a fresh start away from the cameras. I'm active in cryptocurrency and my thought is that he will be successful with these future investments as he is knowledgeable about the market. Then put it into an Ira or something similer and live the rest of his life online. That or lose it all in the upcoming bear market 😂
precisely, hurt people hurt people. and the sheeple who just say "i don't feel bad for someone who scammed people" are missing the point.
what nonsense. he ran his stream, he fostered his audience through the content *he* chose to stream, and he said and did every possible thing to encourage SWATS which brought him a lot of attention and money. he was a consistently shit person his entire life.
@@lukebytes5366 I don’t feel bad for people who leek locations of others, release other peoples phone calls, encourage people to make bomb threats, harass people on the streets, and recklessly drive/almost kill someone. It’s not “just scamming”. He’s a shitty person in general and I don’t feel bad for him at all
Yeah except he put that on himself. His mother didn’t tell him to leak his location and encourage fans to come to his house. It’s 100% his own fault. If it bothered him that much, he should have stopped streaming.
Dude he literally wants to get swatted on purpose. How can no one see that?
A couple of UA-camrs went to Mexico. And blogged about helping kids and families without food. As soon as people started donating. They started wearing Nike and other expensive clothes. They bought a house, started a company in Mexico. People really know how to play people.
Great video. Wish you would've covered the pedophilia incident- it deserves to be brought up.
The WHAT?
?!?!
can you explain please ?
You got 4 of us here saying "huh, what?!" Can you elaborate please? I don't know anything about this clown but are you sure it was THIS dude and not a different person?
Wait what??? I feel like JAubery would have brought that up if it was common knowledge
The pure excitement I feel when I see one of your new videos pop up in my subscription feed is immeasurable! 💓
I remember 2-3 years ago ice poseidon in detailed described his "new business adventure" with almost a text-book definition of a ponzi scheme, and when chat called him out he tried justify it how its not. And now we came to this xD
This guy is amazing he went from making funny Lego animations to well edited video essays that get sponsered
Another brilliant piece Jawbreee. Cheers my dude!
I still cant believe any sane person could have genuine respect for this guy
Nobody did I think?
This also reminds me of a saying we have out here in Finland; The stupid one is not he who sells, but the one who pays. Kinda fits with a lot of these online scams.
I feel it kinda had to end this way in some respects. Like you can rationalize it pretty easily. His fans were great to him in the beginning and eventually the toxicity of his fanbase ruined many portions of his life. The beginning he was complaining about not having friends and stuff, so he went online to get them. Now those friends are somewhat abusive because he failed to set boundaries and treated them more as friends rather than fans, and the hate/trolling built on itself. Now he had gained real friends and relationships and they are harmed or destroyed by the online ones who thought they owned him and he owed them. I wouldn't be surprised if he hates his fans now- at least the most ardent ones. Who, coincidentally, would prob be the ones buying into this scam. It doesn't have to be a rational career move to be understandable. It is undeniable that it is shitty behavior. But I'm sure he fell prey to his malicious tendencies (it's a running theme that he's kinda shitty) and thought his fans deserved it. Either to punish them or to exact some form of "payment" for what they did to him.
you missed when he went to alaska and met up with a the deadliest catch guy who threatened to shoot him.
Plesse explain or link a video lol
@@fondue542 its on YT just look for it... its pretty funny
as someone who's worked in the food service industry: it was poetic justice having the beginning segment about him starting off with him getting called the hell out
Finally !!!! we’ve been waiting J
Right when I think there is nothin to watch J Aubrey comes in.
not surprised this was in the works after recent developments, i used to be one of the plebs in his chat way back in the runescape days and it's honestly disappointing to see where this has all went.
Also the sound mixing in your videos never ceases to amaze me, that shit is crisp
Actually I must applaud him. His fanbase was dumb enough to both keep puching his limits ,by constanlty swatting and harrassing him, and by falling for his ponzi schemes. The power of online stupidity is pretty big, nowadays
I discovered Coffee thanks to your videos and I really appreciate having the two of you exposing scams.
I miss the good old days of Ice. I wasn't a part of his Twitch audience, I always just watched his vods on UA-cam, so I honestly wasn't even aware of the toxic nature of what I was taking part in to be fair. Those vods are seriously some of the most memorable content in UA-cam history for me and I've been on UA-cam since 2007 through every era of the website. I mostly thought it was all in good fun, and the side characters that showed up like Hampton Brandon, Asian Andy, and Burger Planet were the ones that gave his stream the toxic reputation, not Ice himself, but after he did that fear factor thing it opened my eyes to how shitty Ice was as a person and I drifted away.
I barely just started watching this vid and know this a banger vid. You are one of the best commentary youtubers hope you reach 1 mil soon ❤️❤️❤️
i feel zero remorse for anyone stupid enough to invest money with a streamer.
very well made documentary, good job! greatly put
It's kinda ahrd for me to be mad about ice, i see people like him as a symptom of what their fanbase wants them to be.
If this culture enables people openly showing the worst behavior possible there will always be people willing to do it.
That makes him incredibly mentally weak, and irregardless of that, it doesnt explain him scamming 300k from his "fans" which all had it coming for supporting this poor excuse of a human.
@@deathmorphosis to be honest lonely people are always mentally weak. Its unfortunate but its hard to get mad at that
It however doesnt excuse scamming
That is a stupid way to put it. He is the MAIN CHARACTER / THE STORY WRITER. He is responsible for each and every decision for his acts.
You always have stupid viewers with stupid requests and ideas...........literally every streamer got that.
Now the decision is just up to the streamer, which direction he is going to take and Ice mainly chose the degenerate path, because in the shortterm it creates more attention, more viewers, more money.................but in the long path it is not sustainable.
Surprising he could even stream so long being such a nuisance and scumbag.
