EmpLemon just make UA-cam a non child site kids shouldn’t be on the internet anyway
theory: mat knew what he was doing and may possibly holds a grudge (worse than most people) and my have tried to damage the site and community due to a immense amount of greed (ironic) and a crave for fame.
oh wait

This guy basically nuked a bank just to kill the robber.

Many streams have been called “The Worst Live Stream of All Time”, and it’s usually an exaggeration. But Matt’s final broadcast where he angrily grinds his teeth as he reads the chat and then periodically calls his viewers “losers” might be the actual worst meltdown I’ve ever seen.
You my boy! What do you think about the story Nerd? Would like to hear your opinion on the motivations behind this guy.
oh look at this, the regulator is here everybody
Nerd City Don’t know if you’ll have the chance to read.
But I just wanted to say that you make some of my favorite content on the internet. Thank you for the all time and effort you put into your work. I genuinely appreciate it.
Underrated Channel, what was Matt’s true intentions?
watching your videos give me iq points daddy nerd
I just wanna know why miniplayer is disabled for “children’s content”
RIGHT!?
You also can't enable subscription notifications for "children's content" either.
Don't get it.
You can't add children's content to playlists either.
That's like the most annoying thing ever
From what I've heard, I think that's moreso an issue with Coppa. UA-cam restricts features on "children's content" because they want creators to lie and say that their content isn't made for children even if it is. That way they can still make ad revenue off of it. Basically: Coppa said "You guys can't make advertising revenue off of content labeled for kids because we don't want you collecting ad data on children.". So UA-cam is like "Okaaay we'll just try to force our content creators to lie then, so that way if a lawsuit happens, the individual creators who lied will be held responsible and we won't, and we can still make money." Basically the only way you're able to profit off of kids content now is to put yourself at risk of a Coppa violation.
To me, I feel like Matt got some pretty horrific post-nut clarity and was horrified (and ashamed) when UA-cam started recommending similar videos afterwards.
Holy fucking shit you're probably right
Probably true lol
Probably
LMAOOOOO
This isn't funny.
The most suspicious thing about Matt for me is the fact he never left an anonymous tip off to law enforcement. It’s extremely easy to do, very safe, and just common sense. His aim was not to target predators but to target a corporation that predators are leeching off of. The way he so quickly and vehemently shot down anyone who contacted him to even discuss the possibility of a different solution was kind of unsettling. It just doesn’t make sense unless he has a weird ulterior motive. That and his *extremely* inconsistent level of technological competence. That part absolutely reeks of B.S.
If you go to Matt's video the comment section is almost entirely redditors and 37 year olds singing his praise and unironically saying we live in a society. It didnt matter how BS everything is, because when you're appealing to the dumbest of the dumb, you can do anything and make it seem like magic
His aim was most certainly not to target the corporation. It was to simply lie to gain a following. If he was just trying to make UA-cam lose money, I would commend him for that. But its not what he did
@@stmsin I can’t really say I support trying to tear down UA-cam either. Doing that hurts countless innocent creators just trying to earn a living while entertaining people and following their passions for video making. Not that I have any love for UA-cam the company or google, but UA-cam the platform is a different thing entirely.
@@OutlawPrince45 You are correct, there are countless other corporations to target for their business practice before UA-cam. Nestle and Disney come to mind

Reddit has such a superiority complex and is so stupid. Remember that interview with the Reddit mod?
To be fair (although it doesn’t make things better), they were simply acting in mob mentality due to children being involved. Worst yet, I bet anyone who WANTED to disprove were shot down quickly out of fear of being labeled a pedo by the angry mob
When Matt's talking about how angry and disgusted he is, his face is completely unmoving. Not even any passive signs of disgust.

The most memorable thing about the situation a year ago was when Matt Watson from Supermega was confused as this dude so he was sent dozens of death threats
Did Matt ever publicly react to all that? The true Matt Watson, I mean.
After that on Twitter he literally called himself "Not that Matt Watson"
Also hey Callan. Weird to see you here! Love your content
I was expecting him to bring him up as the real victim
Also “Matt Watson? From Supermega?”

@@okay2037 Touch water, mate. Feels pretty wet.
@@equidistanthoneyjoy7600 wetness is defined by containing, covering or soaked with water. water does not contain itself, it takes the shape of other things that contains it, therefore the thing that contains it would be wet and not water itself. water is not “soaked” with itself, and water does not cover itself.
to put it simply, water makes things wet but is not wet itself. Wetness is characterized by how much water is on it and since water is generally a liquid water cannot be wet. Is lava burnt?

Reddit delenda est.
My theory: Matt is just an angry narcissist who wanted to present themselves as a savior of the internet, didn't expect the video to take off, and thus didn't go through any of the trouble of justifying his initial rhetoric or contacting news agencies for interviews
this is the only theory that matters
I mean this theory has the problem that he disappeared and didn't try to milk the attention he was getting as much as possible
So because the recommended algorithm is based on the videos you’ve been watching/searching... does this mean that Matt could have literally looked up and watched CP beforehand?
@@lyrawh770 Was it a blank channel was it not his original channel? You're right but I thought it was his original channel and assumed he had looked this up multiple times before
My theory is he was basically sick of UA-cam and frustrated he couldnt make a living on it. He knew how it worked, but his content just wasnt good enough to generate. So he started this entire debacle as sort of the last ditch molotov, then called it quits. Reddit, did what Reddit does. His video got huge from that at first, and everyone with ulterior motives began latching on. Advertisers, companies and especially online news-sites who have this constant competition / vendetta against this platform.
That’s an understandable strategy but taking into account his political ideas I feel as though there must have been something else going on
yeah he was definently used by corpos and news articles
AlternateHistoryHub everything seems politically to me about this I just can’t tell why
I agree with you AlternateHistoryHub. IMO, I think he just got tired of the drama, and just got out of there, since he knew he wasn't getting anywhere. The part I don't get is why his streams were monetized but left when people were still willing to watch him? Maybe he was just mentally ill for all we know and wanted 4 things at the sametime. Honestly, I lack the creativity to come up with a theory of my own, but his actions just don't make sense, and maybe we are looking at it from an incorrect perspective. Maybe his plan, what ever it was, turned out to be badly thought out and fell flat. I don't know, I think I'm wrong myself, I'm just throwing ideas here and there, but one thing is for sure: He was not a good summeritan.
The disgruntled UA-camr hypothesis doesn't make any sense, in my opinion. This was corporate, how the schedules all line up perfectly is way too suspicious. Watson's bizarre history on the platform doesn't disprove this hypothesis either, and in fact it helps obfuscate the agenda, anyone looking to hire someone for this kind of stunt wouldn't go for a blank slate. There is also the fact that the supposed exploitation was already being heavily discussed on several online forums prior to Watson's video, so there was a non-negligible and very loud swath of the Internet already very receptive to this message. Claiming that this was all about a disgruntled UA-camr only makes sense superficially, and ignores a huge portion of the story. You can't Occam's Razor this one without setting aside important details.
Anyone saying "think of the children" usually has something else planned.
Of course. People blame children for "ruining everything" but said people freak about kids having any sort of fun. Childhood is now a posh prison
Just like a bill called "USA Patriot" is most likely an attack on human rights.

Matt is the ultimate UA-cam paradox. He has quite good understanding of deeper internet minutiae, yet fundamentally misunderstands the consequences of his actions. He knows how to rile up a giant mob of people, yet has no interest in talking to the people who could actually help him and his cause. He went through the hassle of submitting anonymous emails to news sources, but had his name and face plastered all over the campaign. It's such a mixture of intelligence and incompetency that it's virtually impossible to try and figure out what the fuck he's actually trying to do. It's incredible in and of itself
What you're describing is basically a Redditor lol
If someone holds to misleading counter intuitive intents, maybe it’s to cause the fallacy of “impossible to figure out.”
It’s called corporate espionage. It’s been done so many times on this platform for various reasons.
Can be corporate, political, or just “for the lols” some people like to “create games” which are actually giant psychological operations where they themselves are the lone gun that causes hundreds, if not thousands of people to lose their mind.
Think I’m kidding or making it up?
I really wish I was. This simply enough is the evolution of the internet.
It’s no different than the snowflakes who fight racism so strongly then accidentally make fundamentally purely racist comments, or those endorsing autism awareness then making movies showing how uninformed and prejudiced they are about autism. Etc etc. but Imagine googling like ‘illegal murder that I shouldn’t watch’ then making a video complaining about how google is endorsing and condoning murder that you shouldn't watch, and articles being made and millions of people slacktivism -bombing google as murderers who make them watch murders
Tbh this strikes me as not premeditated but impulsive. Matt probably thought he'd ride in like a hero, saving the kids and getting clout. But he wasn't prepared for any fallback and took even good faith critisism personally

Whenever Matt gets angry, he looks like he's about to have stroke.
the smoking gun to me is the contrast between his reaction to advertisers pulling out and youtube addressing the controversy
I hate how he tries to frame it as "muh monetization"
"They care more about money"

He threatened people's JOBS doing what he did.

Doom58 Even if that is the case, it would be frustrating and selfish to harm the creators who do actually put effort into their videos, like animators and such.
I mean, if you want to burn down my work, I won't stop you. I get severance pay.
UA-camrs don't, though.
When "Think of the Children!" ends up treating everyone like children, our freedom gets compromised. But that's probably the point.

Thank you, I was unaware of this impending violation of my rights.
Their mentality reminds me of the quote from the amazing comic Red Son: "Why don't you just put the entire world in a bottle, Superman?"
Matt never offered a solution after removing ads. And that right there basically tells you everything.
I’m actually really glad that you covered this controversy in this video. That flower with “you’ve got scammed sweetheart” after the patreon credit roll is honestly chef kiss material. Well done.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
No I swear I wasn't looking for videos of little girls. It's UA-cams fault for showing them to me

They get chocolate in a part of Africa where children are used for labour for first world countries.
Beware the suffering you indirectly cause
The way he vanished after getting so much attention and validation makes me wonder if this was an actual social experiment. It doesn't seem like he had any greater motive other than seeing how far he could go by using a sensitive situation to manipulate the public. Kind of makes him even more reprehensible than the usual grifter who is just pulling at the heart strings for clout and cash.
His motivation was to kill UA-cam and while he failed at that goal he did damage UA-cam forever and not only that he was also immortalized as a part of UA-cam forever which I don't see as a good thing
This was a cool video. Not what I expected. I liked it. Hope you keep doing these
The fact that the background song is “Next Whisky Bar” which features the line “show me the way to the next little girl” is brilliant and slightly disturbing.
And strange days
Don't forget about _Want You Gone_ at 49:57 during the conclusion.
At least it wasn't "Aqualung".
I recognized the melodies from the songs
33:30 is a remixed gary glitter song as well. Original is played in sports stadiums.

Emp, *_PLEASE PIN THIS._*
The Corporate Plant theory NEEDS to be a movie.
tRUE
I think you might be interested in cyberpunk literature.
it would probably be better as a documentary on netflix or something
true or not it's a pretty amazing narrative
I think he's just a useful idiot of some NYC media company. He most certainly comes off as a dime-a-dozen hack who thinks of himself as a champion of the downtrodden and the greatest woman respecter of all time.
Every time I watch the end of this video I get goosebumps it’s so good
wow what a cool thumbnail, i do wonder the creative process behind such a simplistic yet meaningful piece of art that not only is my first gateway into the content of the video it also makes me want to know more about the youtuber and possibly check out other videos
I mean, this comment is old, but he actually does have an entire video about thumbnails, so watch it if you want to

"It was a trade between the corporate elite, a trade that UA-cam tried to hide. A trade, if known about, would set in motion the collapse of the site." -A quote copied from Browny Mapping
The holes in the last theory can be filled quite easily: Matt Watson was always an alias just because he didn't want to use his real name online to begin with; he was specifically selected by advertisers because they wanted someone small and untraceable, but also with an account that had existed previously so as to not arouse suspicion.
not a bad point, if that theory is true I wonder which company (or companies) most likely did it.
Idk, there a lot of small time untracable youtubers who have far less... questionable content, I.E the totally uncreative channel, any company can see that kind of liability a mile away. IDK, i guess its just the corporate plant theory seems a little too farfetched for me.
@@ThatGuy-ky2yf Probably the first to pull out of advertisement to gain a kind of public trust
MrHatoi it would make sense especially because of his previous content pandering to certain tastes that also inhabit a large chunk of Reddit, meaning it would only help him get more upvotes and support and would make people think “this weirdo is a regular guy” which has worked pretty well so far, then just pay him a lot of money and boom, a man who never really existed disappears!
@@alessandrolira4035 You need a provocateur to cause controversy. A small uncreative, unremarkable channel would've been overlooked, whereas, this chucklefuck will probably garner enough morbid attention. E.g. Get an idiot to flail around for a bit and surely other idiots will follow.
Love that both Wish You Were Here and the Hammers were briefly cameoed
I like that you included a viewer in the chat asking Matt to post the Reddit link before showing the clip of him saying "here's the post, upvote it." Doesn't make much of a difference over the greater narrative, but it was honest :)
WAIT, so I'm not the only one who's found himself on the Wasp Removal side of the internet by accident???
Everyone stumbles across it eventually, plus it's also quite interesting so it's not annoying when it does happen.
Sorry my peasantry, but what is this "wasp removal" thing the gentleman is talking about? Made me curious, i like internet lore too.
@@drewinsur7321 Don't know but I think when they remove wasp nests
Hold on, are you talking about those videos where people use makeshift flamethrowers to burn them out? Those are pretty rad not gonna lie
*heavy breathing*
One of my favorite things about EmpLemon is the super unique editing style. It’s very appealing to people who’ve used UA-cam since the early 2010s.
lustylion I agree.
I wasn't really part of the "UA-cam community" in the 2010s, but I agree.
I just love the reacquiring themes and graphics
It's fair to say that Emp is the storyteller of youtube, picking up the pieces from the former battleground and rearranging the scene to explain how it all happened.
Incredible that I’m just learning about this. I guess late is better than never. Great content as always
let's be honest, even when we demand that kids under 13 years old must not watch our videos, they're gonna do it anyway. I'm pretty certain a chunk of the people in this comment section are 13 and under.
Damn, caught my little bro I'm watching this with,It's technically his 13th birthday, but he was born later in the day.
Im 13 and my dad owns youtube
WeegeeSlayer
Hey!
Are you the guy I always see on Mr Enter’s videos?
I'm 25 but back in 2006 and 2007 I would watch stuff I wasn't supposed to
And yeah best thing we can really do is have a "are you older than 13 years old to watch this video" button
Because no matter what kids are always gonna get past it
@@ImmaLittlePip Ah yes, the classic problem with keeping kids out of places they're not supposed to be...
This is why skepticism is a virtue not a hindrance. You need to look at things like this with an analytical eye to make sure you don’t cause more harm than good
Basically think before you get outraged and complain.
And yet again I find you in the comments
And you need the humility to question your own opinions
Sayari Mamani something many people now a days don’t have
Man I am inspired by how much information/research and effort is displayed in 'bits' that last literally less than a second. Fucking slow clap. 10/10
Matt must have been pretty proud of that "hit them in the wallet" slogan because of how much he said it
"The reddit hive mind" very accurate
Also The reddit Red Hive mind
the reddit hive mind is probably one of the worst things in the internet, the all website devolved into one big propaganda and terrible memes, I miss 2013 reddit
A political machine
Even our subreddits joking about how much of a hive mind reddit has become hive minds, it awful and I don’t know why I still use the site at this point.
@@cannoncorley581 It's like drugs. Too much is bad for you but its addicting.
19:56 Fact correction: Despite the articles that came out talking about Kik shutting down some months ago, Kik is still up and usable by everyone.
Yep, it was bought by another company
I had made a kik account years ago with a picture of my girlfriend at the time, we were 16 and when I finally ended up looking at it like a year later, people had sent me loads of the most horrible pictures you could imagine asking for pictures from my girlfriend. Kik is a problem
Supplemented Health duh. Don’t use other people’s pictures without permission either.
Cartmanbrah where did I tell you I used pictures without people’s permission and sorry I wasn’t aware when I was a child I didn’t know what the underground of that app was
Cartmanbrah ...dude...it’s the internet.
Just rewatching this after a couple years and I'm surprised I didn't notice this earlier since Matt sounds so bad. 23:17 Isn't the blue yeti a front address microphone? He's talking into the complete wrong part
Shows his intelligence pretty well
To be honest i think he didn’t care. This whole situation reminded me of a small child saying “if i cant have fun. No one can.” He was butthurt he wasn’t succeeding with his channel so decided out of jealousy that nobody should be able to
The Yeti has stereo, cardioid, and omnidirectional settings. You can talk on any side of it really.
@@rodimusmaximus3912 Yeah but talking into the back of it on omni mode would sound awful. And he sounds awful. He's using the mic wrong.
