      I think it's a big problem with fame in general, there is a small audience and big audience mentality and you have to grow at a pace that's healthy for you and your content. But you'll never know who is going to blow up overnight these days. It's easy to get sucked into the power that you might think you have then be shattered by the realization that you constantly have eyes on you at all times. These people that blow up overnight might not be used to be criticized much at all and now suddenly everyone is bearing down on them. This is why I try not to sweat being a small channel for so long, it's slow but at least I know I can handle the attention I do get.

In the end these are internet personalities, they're not without flaws as human beings and sometimes even the most genuine looking UA-camr could hide dark secret, especially with the recent Mammamax controversy. There are a lot of people pretending to do the "good fight" while behind the scenes they themselves hold or do something shady.

It was several. Reports of unwanted hugging and touching (which...can confirm, he at one point came up behind me to hug me and I freaked out on him, nearly swung because I have some touch-related trauma that I'm not willing to disclose here, but told him to fuck off at the last second. Told my husband who also works with us and knows about my traumas and...he had some choice words, we'll say, about what'll happen if he ever touched me without my permission again), vulgar talk towards them, and at one point with one woman even rubbing his junk against them. One of the women even gave corporate an ultimatum, she essentially said "fire him or I quit". I guess it's true what they say, good things come to those who wait. At least now I can work in peace.

I believe Leafy and Grade spoke and both agreed to go at Keem because they saw how profitable Idubbz video was and they wanted some of that. The way they would do that would be piggy-backing off of each other with videos. He never cared about what Keem said and did previously and I believe he still doesn’t, but money can make people do some stupid/greedy things!

Tipping is entirely optional and really only done if you're given exceptional service. I would be a bit annoyed if a waiter asked for a tip, since in UK you're expected to be humble and not ask for extra money, if you've earned it then you don't need to ask. In a lot of places, the service charge is already included and I find it quite deceptive when waiters don't point that out when I offer a tip, especially when it's like 25% already 😢 but I wouldn't think they're lesser for just asking, maybe if they demanded it lol. Waiters just want to make money like 99% of everyone else on the planet. Not talking down to you, just explaining in case any more Americans are confused at that view. It's so weird in USA that people are indoctrinated into paying workers wages for a company to the point that if you can't afford a tip because you're poor, then you're heckled as evil, as if it's _your_ fault a soulless multi-million corporation decided to have legal slaves.

    This man’s downfall was so sudden. When he came back I was ready to give him another chance until about halfway through his first video back. 🤦🏽‍♂️

    the thing about reactor was actually hilarious, kinda sad that he missed the joke.

    I can't believe you left out that Reactor is Tim Pool's brother. Its not pertinent, but just a random fact that makes it even weirder.

      Must be a great film for someone named "Skeptic Film Buff" to have watched it 57 times. Honestly, I stopped watching about 1/3 of the way in but I guess that just goes to show thaty taste in film is trash.

    In retrospect, calling out people randomly (if they haven't abused anybody or haven't been a horrendous person) is so lame when doing it on a medium that thrives from the attention you'd get from simply doing it.

    Just discovered this channel and I've been binging it all day. Really entertaining to listen to while working.
