@@rose-yeahMatPat also has gained his respect in the community he literally does a saint Jude fundraiser every year and helps the community in every way he can he is just a good person
@@EllaMaster I think he did. He set a call to action saying "I need your help to crack the code or dbunk it" or whatever he actually said. It's in this video. I don't know if he said how people could help, since I hate the content he used to make; the whole "There's grass in minecraft so minecraft is real. A GAME THEORY" is fucking garbo, but that's not the point. He said "DO THIS" with no direction and as we all know from the political climate, people are fucking idiots. So he did need to apologize and it shows incredible character that he did and did so genuinely.
And I think you can often just tell when it’s genuine or not with most people. We have all seen enough of them where it’s quick to spot the difference (like those “I’m sorry you feel…”)
Um… yeah? Is it not obvious? The point of an apology is that you’re sorry for your actions, and if its possible to tell you aren’t, then your apology is bad. It’s common sense doofus
What i like about Matpat's video is that it was not only an apology but also a move to make things right. His suggestions to create some "rules" was showing that he really wanted not only to fix things but also to avoid it happening again with anyone. That's a great way to apologize.
Thats literally what an apolagy is supposed to be, trying to make things right. Its not a get out of nail free card, every appology that Fails at taking accountability and Display will to do better is not an apology, but an excuse
The best apologies are the ones that explains the situation clearly and blandly, recognizes the mistakes and does not deny it, and takes step to actually apologize to the victims, inviting them and confronting viewpoints in order to fix an issue. without asking for any forgiveness to the audience. that's how you actually apologize.
Nah let’s face it, what actually makes a good apology video is apologizing for something that you don’t need to apologize for, like Matpat. It’s difficult to apologize for something that absolutely needs an apology; perhaps the best apology on UA-cam for this is Atrioc since he spent a year actually doing things to help.
Eh, no thanks. Not my cup of tea personally, however a chat about some theories might be interesting. However this ends in 1 of 2 ways, either matt literally likes that, or he hates doing theories all the time, so he doesn't. Seems unfair personally that my only interest is in something he can provide. That's unfair.
He's somebody I don't mind my kids watching, even if it's not my thing. He talks the stuff they like but takes it further and makes them theorize and use their imaginations. It's wholesome.
Always, matpat and danTDM, are and always will be the most kid friendly UA-cam channel know to man, DanTDM still makes video, he has a separate Minecraft UA-camr channel
Yeah, but you gotta hand it to the dude. He still took accountability for something that wasn't even his fault and she wasn't even accused of it in the first place. Gotta love the dude, he's a real champ.
@@troy5094 I think so too. But it’s also that saying it was an accident or you blacked out is a cop out. At least Pewdiepie was transparent even though it doesn’t mean he did it for any good reason
@Why-are-there-handles I think what also helped his case is that this is like the 1 controversy he's had despite about 15 years of videos and streaming. This was a very strange anomaly, and in both live streams and IRLs he's never had another occurrence like this. It makes it easier to single out as a blip.
saying "i just blacked out" is probably the worst defence you can use, because if true, any time you put yourself in a situation where you could "black out" you are enabling the very thing you're trying to apologise for, and saying it while trying to get unbanned from a platform is admitting you aren't sorry and it will happen again. meanwhile if you admit it was a conscious but dumb action, then at the very least, you're able to grow and not repeat the action, because you actually have control over it.
Ay that's me lol 5:10 Jokes aside, Matthew really did take the proper approach in that video, it wasn't one of those "career saving" apology videos that content creators make to save their skin, he was clear with his message to have the fans stop what they were doing, properly apologized on their behalf, and even offered solutions to the problem as well alternate approaches to going about uncovering the secrets of the game outside of bothering local businesses. That's what I love about him and the game theorist team, they're ethical and genuine individuals.
@@OGJahuneif he’d apologized everyone would be talking about it immediately. The apology was actually discussed only it went toward to Jake Weddle, so in my personal opinion, not click bait.
He passed away holding the record for number of kills for two bosses as well, with over 27,000 and 16,000 respectively. Both have since been passed, but they are still incredibly respectful numbers. He had been playing since 2004, and if the cancer hadn’t taken him, would still be playing today.
4:35 Matpat really will be looked upon as the patron saint of UA-cam I think. Like, his biggest controversies were this and sans is REDACTED. He legit raised a generation and it really can't be overstated just how positive his legacy will be.
Remember when "youtuber drama" was just goofy shit like sans is ness and not grooming, racism, or whatever other horrible thing that seems to come out about someone every other week now?
I think besides some iffy jokes back when he first started (so like. a decade ago…) he’s been pretty good. Sure, he might fudge some stuff for entertainment value, but in the end it’s just a theory and if it encourages people to learn and correct him then maybe it’s a good thing? As long as it’s not food theory haha

Like, the fact that was his starting point is incredible (if I have the wrong episode or I'm misremembering lmk)
@@palemeadows yeah that’s what I mean, back when it was more normalized to make jokes like those he was participating but even then he wasn’t awful. Like for a TF2 theory and that one time he made attack helicopter jokes because OTHER people were making them in a survey lol (I hate AH jokes now but I used to make them myself even, back in 6th grade. A couple years later, I’m nonbinary anyway!) Have you seen that video about his “transphobia” where no one is taking OP seriously? It’s so funnyyyy
Manii was indirectly responsible, even if he was unaware that the agents were abusing the UA-cam system. Good to hear he set things right as soon as he found out. Goes to show that you need to be careful and extreeeeemely picky about who you’re hiring
Sounds like we’re finding a list of ways to make a good UA-cam apology! DO: - Take accountability - Be genuine and sincere - Take action to actually FIX the issue you are at fault for in a sensitive and timely manner - LISTEN to your audience. If the majority of people that watch you agree that you should apologize, then maybe you should! DON’T: - Shift the blame onto someone else, ESPECIALLY when it’s CLEARLY yours - Half-ass an apology that doesn’t properly address the issue - be condescending, sarcastic, or otherwise inauthentic; this will just make your audience not take you seriously (shocker, I know) - make multiple irrelevant excuses alongside a single “I’m sorry,” - pretend the issue didn’t happen/ doesn’t apply to you Wow, this kind of sounds like general rules to say a good apology to someone in real life, would ya look at that. Thanks for a great video lol
I’m not much a fan of pewdiepie, but that 2 minute video is close to a perfect textbook definition of how to give a great apology. No bull crap, just “I was an idiot, please forgive me.”
Being able to freely apologize comes with humility. Humans are very attracted to humility, they respect it on a deep level. Liking humble people seems like it’s a trait that’s evolved in us for countless eons. People without it are dangerous to the group, and they have been as long as humans have grouped together. Someone who is competent and humble will always be well liked.
its incredibly foolish since people can fake humbleness if they actually want to, people who judge based on niceness are doomed to be tricked by demagogues

Honestly an apology that I think goes unnoticed is Kwite's. While it's I guess technically more of a response to accusations the way he played it off was phenomenal. He was accused of raping someone he used to be friends with but instead of silently leaving or making a half assed apology, he made a hour long video with his face (he's a faceless UA-camr) completely debunking every single accusation made and actually making the supposed "victim" be seen as the terrible human they are. Probably the most respect I've had for a UA-camr after going through serious drama Edit: Yes I know it's not really an apology it's a response, I already said this in the original comment lmao
right!!! he handled it so damn well. it really sucks that he had to trade privacy for being believed, but either way his response was beyond anything I expected. shoutout to kwite🙏🙏
Well that’s not really an apology, he had nothing to apologize for, he clear the record The closest he got to apologizing for anything was telling his fans not to harass anyone, even the person who defamed him and accused him of a crime, on his behalf
11:13 you can tell the apology is real because if you look closely and hear closely his voice is almost about to be in tears and his eyes are tearing up
Unfortunately that was his second apology. His first "apology" video was under 3 minutes long, had comments disabled and was posted to his podcast channel. His "apology" was garbage and his second one was just damage control. He doesn't give AF about those girls.
Pewdiepie not only gave a sincere apology but he moved on from UA-cam and carved out his own life. People forget but Felix did a daily upload with no vacation for 10 years straight. He found a way to move with the trends and basically was the #1 channel for a decade. But after the infamous PUBG incident I think he realized he wasn’t happy. And he also knew he couldn’t be #1 forever with people like Mr Beast exploding on the scene. So he apologized sincerely and stepped aside. Dude made his millions & secured a dream life for his wife and child. Total respect. Also another thing about Felix many don’t know is he actually did streaming for 2 years. During that time he took 100% of his subs/donations and gave it to a random charity once a month. So he would give away 200 to 350k a month to organizations in need. He never once promoted this or used it to better his image. Thats why I truly think he’s a good person. Yet some people still hate him and won’t let it go.
One of the few, if not the only person on UA-cam that I'm 100% certain is a good and genuine person. He deserves all he got and more, I wish I could meet him someday, just for a few minutes, somewhere quiet and talk for a bit... I know it won't happen but it's a nice thing to think about. Also how many controversies he pushed through, most of which were blown out of proportions... I'm glad he's happy and enjoying life.
@@Dumb-Comment He's Swedish, as an european as well, I'm telling you that the n-word doesn't have the cultural and historical weight that it has in the US, in fact, it's not really a thing here. I don't think I knew that it was even a "no-no" word when it happened, and was mostly confused about the amount of backlash Pewdiepie from it. So it doesn't say anything about his character, it only says that he imported a word from american culture and didn't really think deeply about its meaning and cultural weight. Lol, in my country the socially correct word for black people is "negro" and the direct translation from "black" (preto) is the rude one (although not nearly with the same stigma as the n word). I've heard professors saying "negro" when speaking english because they're older, not chronically online, and have no idea about america's race wars.
@@franciscasilva8406 Even as a Finnish person I never really took the word that seriously since growing up most of the older adults in my life were making jokes with casual use of the n word, not even maliciously but the same way you'd call a black person black. It's just the word they used, it was never that deep or that serious.
Manni and MatPat really said. "Oh crap, I made a mistake, and I'll respond accordingly.we shall take full responsibility, because that's what is right to do"🗣🔥🗣🔥
Sincerity and regret are great, but what makes a good apology is 1) accountability; and 2) addressing the problem. I don't need to see crocodile tears. I need to hear them say they were wrong - unequivocally, and without any excuse (note that explanations are not excuses, far too many people confuse the two). And I need to hear them say what they've done to prevent the problem going forward. Hell, if you do those two things, saying "I'm sorry" isn't even necessary, because you've already demonstrated it with your actions.
@@mridotprobably Fr, and anyways, he has 300+ million subscribers who are mostly kids and they don’t give a crap about what he’s done wrong (even A LOT of adults don’t care actually) so why would he even care to respond/ address the matter if he’s just gonna lose 100k subs (probably way less) out of 300 million and still get millions of views
watcher is the perfect example of actually listening to your viewers and caring about them. just the way they addressed the problem, fixed it, and apologized was so respectable.
speaking of moistcritikal, i wonder where that mrbeast video is on the drama edit: im not "mad" or anything. im just saying that its a bit weird he hasnt spoken up
@@dominicmarshall1189he got laughed out of the drama news community after everyone saw how incapable he was of actually debating someone like sneako. He's back to only being funny game review guy.
I love Matpat. He’s probably the most down to earth and chill guys ever, just wanting to share his theories and opinions with people on the internet. It’s insane he had to apologize for what his fans did when they should have known better. And to make it better, Matpat followed by his words- whenever there is anything he feels like he needs to clarify or make clear to his fans, he does state it clearly.
That's the sinister side to all of this. People nowadays feel they are important enough, who aren't even a part of the internet celebrity's personal lives, feel entitled to a stranger's apology when they could just stop watching the content.
I personally never really watched MatPat, but I have genuine respect for him, that apology was not really needed, but yet he still made it. He is a great person.❤
It's pretty simple. If you apologize and take accountability it shows you are honest and know you can be wrong. If you shift the blame onto someone else, then it shows that you are not responsible and always think it's someone else's fault never your own. Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone takes accountability
I think it also depends on the community that is coming at you for an apology because there have been many cases of streamers genuinely apologizing and communities still tearing them apart especially in the art and makeup communities they’re very vindictive over there.

tbh one of THE BEST apology videos has been the one by the try guys! (The one by the guys, not Ned, Ned's sucked) Like, they saw what happened, took swift action on the situation, and even apologized for something they didn't DIRECTLY DO. They remained my heroes after all that ngl.
The Try Guys are heroes to me. They really broke the mold and really blossomed through their journey. It really sucks that Ned did what he did, but their transparency and swift action was really admirable. Not only did they lose a business partner, but a friend. Someone they loved and created business with and they were family. It must have been gutting and the fact that they were able to handle the feelings and opinions of millions of people and their own personal feelings at the same time is fucking crazy. And it was insane to see how most of their staff stood right by them.
@@F1RST_BLUD1 eh, MorePegasus spreads his videos out pretty well and doesn't make any accusations of his own, while it is a bit click-baity the videos themselves are very good for informing people of the situation.
@@betercloudzHe made the video because MrBeast was already getting hate for Chris Tyson so that his video would get more views and raise more awareness about Jimmy's illegal practices
Pokimane absolutely should have apologized. She went after another UA-camrs sponsors because he made videos criticizing her. Saying her apology was unnecessary is intentionally misleading.
@@Protont It’s explicitly mentioned that she never stated what she was apologising for, which is an important part of an apology. Because she never said what she was sorry for, few people would've known. He’s reporting on the apologies.
i still love watcher, and even though the whole watcher TV incident was a huge disappointment when it first happened, i think that they did a good job with the apology and keeping their shows free. the fact that they actually listened to their community is great.
Their mistake wasn't even a morally bad one either. They were just pretty out-of-touch with their fanbase and really bad with managing their finances (speaking as someone working closely with finance)
Yes! I watched her video when it first came out and I thought she dealt with the situation with so much grace. I think it's also really telling that she hasn't tried to make a comeback
Linus didn't lose his CEO position because of the drama, shortly before it he decided to make someone else the CEO while he became CVO (Chief Vision Officer), which is even his title in the apology video
And his response was very good. Their process of property management was probably overall bad, or simply companies that sent them stuff, sent it forever (Initially they sent it saying LTT can keep it). Like on some videos they constantly joke what they stole from work.
I think the fact that Matpat put so much of himself into his videos, and cared so much about doing right by his fans, and the public in general, is a big part of why he ended up retiring. It’s a beautiful thing to care that much, but the mental toll when things don’t go right is a lot higher when you care
Your apology will be judged by whether or not you have to issue another in the future. You probably will. But sincerity and a commitment to doing better speaks volumes more than any words ever can.
"His [Linus] mismanagement cost him. . .his position as CEO of the company"-Wait, but Linus was already not CEO of the company before all this. He voluntarily stepped down like several months before and hired his old boss to take over as CEO. There was an announcement and everything.
The easiest way to make a good apology are these steps: 1. say sorry but don’t over do it 2. Show your real emotions don’t cry on purpose or crap like that 3. Be mature 4. take accountability for what you did 5. accept the fate and hate
People shouldn't have to apologized publicly for something that isn't there fault or out of their control. As explanation should be enough, but for some reason normal people have a problem when celebrities and influencers do that. Just like they have a problem when an apology is given and the person the apology is meant for doesn't immediately accept it.
Yeah, I'm not really sure I understood why that Dave guy apologized for what his teammate did. I'm also not really sure what his teammate did for that matter. From the story, it sounds like the lady had too much to drink, had a threesome, then got mad at the man because she had too much to drink and had a threesome. Am I missing something here?
honestly youtube apologies in general don't make sense. it doesn't matter how good your apology is, what matters is what the first person says about your apology. im not sure why TheManiiShow got so much support for his apology. everyone shit on him because he started copyright striking videos that were making fun of his absolute shit content, and all he had to do is say that he didn't do it and everyone forgave him and forgot about the reason why they were hating on him in the first place. at the end of the day manii makes shitty videos that nobody except young children watch.
@pawsskibidimandrunk people can and will consent to S*x just look at all the college party's happening, furthermore if all the participants of the threesome were drunk as well which is implied, then everyone is on level ground.
@pawsskibidiman Yeah, but like, why did she get blackout drunk? Did somebody spke her drink or something? I guess it's just not what I was taught. I remember the day I left for college, my parents both said to me "Don't EVER get so drunk that you pass out. It's up to you to know your limits, and we won't bail you out of any trouble you get into if that happens." Like, by that logic of she was too drunk to give consent, you could say he was too drunk to know what he was doing. That'd be super scummy to say, right? I guess what I mean is, to at least a little bit of extent, she shoulda known her limits. Also, what was her friend doing in all this? How is she not being held responsible for rape too?
Yeah "I'm sorry IF anyone's feelings were hurt" isn't an apology lol. "it was in the heat of the moment" is an excuse followed by "I won't make excuses for it" lol. I'm surprised it was so accepted. I don't think it was a good apology, the fans just accepted it more than others lol
@kemerydunn9532 i think the if part of that is because not everyone was hurt by it. I see it more as a saying, "if you were hurt, then this is for you." Also, the heat of the moment feels more like an explanation than an excuse. He wasn't excusing his behavior, he was explaining it and said that was wrong of him.
@@Eternally_screaming_idiotHe's also not american. Americans are the place where this is demonized - Because in other places slavery either wasn't a domestic issue, ended earlier, or they speak a different language. The "N-word" is something incredibly american and deeply tied to your american history. To other countries it's either a footnote (they have their own taboo words, in brazil Negro, the word that the N-word is corrupted from, is considered correct, because it just means 'dark', which is less dehumanizing than calling people a colour.), or it's... a funny word americans say in movies. The only reason I'm aware how bad the word is taboo is because I am chronically online. Pewdipie didn't make any argument like this because he knows that american audiences are... usually unaware of other people's cultural backgrounds. Too used to the rest of the world speaking your language and watching your movies means that it's easy to assume that people share a culture. And also because he knows most of his audience is american, and he feels still responsible for falling under standards and practices. (Much like you wouldn't make holocaust jokes in germany).
@@Eternally_screaming_idiotpeople have a lot of trouble reconciling those 2 things, nowadays: either the person who screwed up tries to use explanation as an excuse, or other people misconstrue the explanation AS making excuses

@@Zagriel. It's perfectly fine to play with toys when you're 13. The real problem with the channel though is how they're making their son Ryan pump out many videos per week, and we don't even know if he wants to make videos. He's been making videos on the channel since he was, around 5 i think?
I’ve never liked the maniishow, and never will, but his apology will forever be one of my favourites. He owned up to the situation, and did what was needed. He definitely has my respect, as he didn’t dodge the allegations.
This is the whole reason why we all love Matpat I watched a bunch of his film theory videos and absolutely love them and I honestly love how he is so genuine but also so comedic at the same time and that apology video man that’s where he shows how good of a person he is
HAHA, THE WATCHER ONE! I remember that, omg, people were dunking on steven because he has a cybertruck and called the fans broke. I loved that people were saying that he forced the other two to say those things
I have to say I enjoy this style of content more than what you have been making previously, a "Here's the good and bad of-" is very fun to me, and not having an overwhelmingly negative video for 20 minutes is so much better to watch for me.
Mat pat is genuinely the best UA-camr on the platform in my opinion,he is always honest and never tying to get out of situations without taking full responsibility even when its not his fault,im so sad he retired but a man like that deserves the world,and if he thinks retirement is what he needs,i 100% agree
The problem is that it’s easy to make a good apology when it’s not really you who is at fault; Matpat is essentially apologizing for something they didn’t need to apologize for in the first place.
@Deerjason which is why he's the king. He didn't do anything bad, but still apologized to anyone who may have been hurt by others. Stepping up when you don't need to makes you a king in my opinion

Something I noticed about the apologies is the body language. All the good apologies stay still, make direct eye contact, and talk normally. All the bad one are jittery like shrugging shoulders or rocking, not making constant eye contact, and talking fast almost like they’re saying it to get it over with.

Yes this is completely true. Very ironic that this channel is showing apologies about past mistakes when they got this completely wrong. Very sad to see that this is entirely ai and not fact checked.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Like it happened at the same time so probably they linked those two and never bothered to look at the real version of the story. I've seen this happen in most compilation videos where they tend to make errors like this because they are speaking on so many different cases which are so nuanced by themselves and yet to speak of them all at once it becomes inevitable that there will be some points of shallow research. Might have been the case for other apologies as well, but this is the one I noticed because I was following this drama as one of the oldest watchers of LTT.
@@KaushikMajumdar15Yeah same dude. Yes Linus fucked up his initial response on wan show and though the Corporate apology might have looked insincere to some(I felt it was alright, LMG is a corporate too), in the end I believe they did try to get better.
I think it is important, in the LTT section, to recognize the fact that LTT as a whole actually improved their practices post apology both as as a channel and as a business.
Sometimes you don’t have to apologize , if what your audience is angry for your beliefs. But if it’s something you did , by mistake or on accident, then go right ahead and apologize. If you are not sincere people will notice
As much as I don’t enjoy manii shows content, I can say, this man could’ve brought out a ukulele, sang his reasons and it would still be a good apology 🔥
Well having to apologize for your friend, not even you, letting women drink and getting with them, that’s pretty normal. It doesn’t sound like they were forced to do anything, maybe take some accountability for getting incredibly drunk to the point of deciding to sleep with someone?

My biggest problem with apologising is if people just flat out reject or flat out ignore it, then all the hard work you put into it, editing, script writing, it was all for nothing
A thing i noticed is that most apologies that we weren't sincere blame it on somebody else Manni did, but he also sounded sincere and still took accountability
After the rsgloryandgold situation, i followed and watches him on twitch for years. He was hands down one of, if not the sweetest man on twitch. I didnt even play runescape but he was very nice to watch. RIP RSgloryandgold, will never forget you, YAHOOO!

Um… yeah? Is it not obvious? The point of an apology is that you’re sorry for your actions, and if its possible to tell you aren’t, then your apology is bad. It’s common sense doofus
how do you know if they're actually sorry, though?
@@pepperdayjackpac4521 Voice tone, the words used, facial expressions and even some actions are a dead giveaway.
What i like about Matpat's video is that it was not only an apology but also a move to make things right. His suggestions to create some "rules" was showing that he really wanted not only to fix things but also to avoid it happening again with anyone. That's a great way to apologize.
Thats literally what an apolagy is supposed to be, trying to make things right. Its not a get out of nail free card, every appology that Fails at taking accountability and Display will to do better is not an apology, but an excuse

The best apologies are the ones that explains the situation clearly and blandly, recognizes the mistakes and does not deny it, and takes step to actually apologize to the victims, inviting them and confronting viewpoints in order to fix an issue.
without asking for any forgiveness to the audience.
that's how you actually apologize.
Nah let’s face it, what actually makes a good apology video is apologizing for something that you don’t need to apologize for, like Matpat. It’s difficult to apologize for something that absolutely needs an apology; perhaps the best apology on UA-cam for this is Atrioc since he spent a year actually doing things to help.
@@Deerjasonit's both of yours but the actual BEST apology is the TOXIC GOSSIP TTRRRAAAIIIINNNN
The bigger the crime, the more difficult the apology using this method. This is fine.

MatPat just feels like a genuine humble down to earth guy who you would want to hang out with.
He was my childhood fav
Still is
Eh, no thanks. Not my cup of tea personally, however a chat about some theories might be interesting.
However this ends in 1 of 2 ways, either matt literally likes that, or he hates doing theories all the time, so he doesn't.
Seems unfair personally that my only interest is in something he can provide. That's unfair.

It's so sad that mattpatt had to apologize tho. His adult fans or his kids fan's parents should know better.
Yeah, but you gotta hand it to the dude. He still took accountability for something that wasn't even his fault and she wasn't even accused of it in the first place. Gotta love the dude, he's a real champ.
What did he apologize for? Never heard of this.
@@ItsTheBibby It's in the video at 3:25
It didn't surprise me. He attracted a very dumb demographic, and we all know that parents barely pay attention to what their kids do on the internet.
@@psycholuigimanI don’t think he attracts a dumb demographic, it’s just that dumb people are part of every community
There is a huge difference between saying you blacked out vs admitting that you were looking for the worst insult you could think of
Yeah, I feel like it's not so much that Pewdiepie made a good apology as that people were more willing to forgive him at the time
@@troy5094 I think so too. But it’s also that saying it was an accident or you blacked out is a cop out. At least Pewdiepie was transparent even though it doesn’t mean he did it for any good reason
@Why-are-there-handles I think what also helped his case is that this is like the 1 controversy he's had despite about 15 years of videos and streaming. This was a very strange anomaly, and in both live streams and IRLs he's never had another occurrence like this. It makes it easier to single out as a blip.
saying "i just blacked out" is probably the worst defence you can use, because if true, any time you put yourself in a situation where you could "black out" you are enabling the very thing you're trying to apologise for, and saying it while trying to get unbanned from a platform is admitting you aren't sorry and it will happen again.
meanwhile if you admit it was a conscious but dumb action, then at the very least, you're able to grow and not repeat the action, because you actually have control over it.

Jokes aside, Matthew really did take the proper approach in that video, it wasn't one of those "career saving" apology videos that content creators make to save their skin, he was clear with his message to have the fans stop what they were doing, properly apologized on their behalf, and even offered solutions to the problem as well alternate approaches to going about uncovering the secrets of the game outside of bothering local businesses. That's what I love about him and the game theorist team, they're ethical and genuine individuals.

This is sad
He passed away holding the record for number of kills for two bosses as well, with over 27,000 and 16,000 respectively. Both have since been passed, but they are still incredibly respectful numbers. He had been playing since 2004, and if the cancer hadn’t taken him, would still be playing today.
4:35 Matpat really will be looked upon as the patron saint of UA-cam I think. Like, his biggest controversies were this and sans is REDACTED. He legit raised a generation and it really can't be overstated just how positive his legacy will be.
Remember when "youtuber drama" was just goofy shit like sans is ness and not grooming, racism, or whatever other horrible thing that seems to come out about someone every other week now?
I think besides some iffy jokes back when he first started (so like. a decade ago…) he’s been pretty good. Sure, he might fudge some stuff for entertainment value, but in the end it’s just a theory and if it encourages people to learn and correct him then maybe it’s a good thing?

Sounds like we’re finding a list of ways to make a good UA-cam apology!
DO:
- Take accountability
- Be genuine and sincere
- Take action to actually FIX the issue you are at fault for in a sensitive and timely manner
- LISTEN to your audience. If the majority of people that watch you agree that you should apologize, then maybe you should!
DON’T:
- Shift the blame onto someone else, ESPECIALLY when it’s CLEARLY yours
- Half-ass an apology that doesn’t properly address the issue
- be condescending, sarcastic, or otherwise inauthentic; this will just make your audience not take you seriously (shocker, I know)
- make multiple irrelevant excuses alongside a single “I’m sorry,”
- pretend the issue didn’t happen/ doesn’t apply to you
Wow, this kind of sounds like general rules to say a good apology to someone in real life, would ya look at that. Thanks for a great video lol
DON'T:
- Ukulele
@@artifactUdon’t sing about trains
@@artifactU - Pretend your audience is creating trouble for the sake of creating trouble

Being able to freely apologize comes with humility. Humans are very attracted to humility, they respect it on a deep level. Liking humble people seems like it’s a trait that’s evolved in us for countless eons. People without it are dangerous to the group, and they have been as long as humans have grouped together. Someone who is competent and humble will always be well liked.

Honestly an apology that I think goes unnoticed is Kwite's. While it's I guess technically more of a response to accusations the way he played it off was phenomenal. He was accused of raping someone he used to be friends with but instead of silently leaving or making a half assed apology, he made a hour long video with his face (he's a faceless UA-camr) completely debunking every single accusation made and actually making the supposed "victim" be seen as the terrible human they are. Probably the most respect I've had for a UA-camr after going through serious drama
Edit: Yes I know it's not really an apology it's a response, I already said this in the original comment lmao
right!!! he handled it so damn well. it really sucks that he had to trade privacy for being believed, but either way his response was beyond anything I expected. shoutout to kwite🙏🙏
Well that’s not really an apology, he had nothing to apologize for, he clear the record
The closest he got to apologizing for anything was telling his fans not to harass anyone, even the person who defamed him and accused him of a crime, on his behalf
It's not an apology though. It's a collection of evidence debunking claims
Not really an apology, but holy, it was a real good defense.
I’m still constantly watching his videos, both his main channel, and stream stuff, it’s great, and I’m glad he’s managed to recover from it.
11:13 you can tell the apology is real because if you look closely and hear closely his voice is almost about to be in tears and his eyes are tearing up
That’s what I was thinking. I thought that was a good apology. But I feel like he didn’t mention some stuff. So some people didn’t take it how we did
Unfortunately that was his second apology. His first "apology" video was under 3 minutes long, had comments disabled and was posted to his podcast channel. His "apology" was garbage and his second one was just damage control. He doesn't give AF about those girls.

Pewdiepie not only gave a sincere apology but he moved on from UA-cam and carved out his own life. People forget but Felix did a daily upload with no vacation for 10 years straight. He found a way to move with the trends and basically was the #1 channel for a decade.
But after the infamous PUBG incident I think he realized he wasn’t happy. And he also knew he couldn’t be #1 forever with people like Mr Beast exploding on the scene. So he apologized sincerely and stepped aside.
Dude made his millions & secured a dream life for his wife and child. Total respect. Also another thing about Felix many don’t know is he actually did streaming for 2 years.
During that time he took 100% of his subs/donations and gave it to a random charity once a month. So he would give away 200 to 350k a month to organizations in need. He never once promoted this or used it to better his image.
Thats why I truly think he’s a good person. Yet some people still hate him and won’t let it go.
One of the few, if not the only person on UA-cam that I'm 100% certain is a good and genuine person. He deserves all he got and more, I wish I could meet him someday, just for a few minutes, somewhere quiet and talk for a bit... I know it won't happen but it's a nice thing to think about.
Also how many controversies he pushed through, most of which were blown out of proportions... I'm glad he's happy and enjoying life.

Lol, in my country the socially correct word for black people is "negro" and the direct translation from "black" (preto) is the rude one (although not nearly with the same stigma as the n word).

A decent apology always have a hint of sincerity and regret to them.
Sincerity and regret are great, but what makes a good apology is 1) accountability; and 2) addressing the problem. I don't need to see crocodile tears. I need to hear them say they were wrong - unequivocally, and without any excuse (note that explanations are not excuses, far too many people confuse the two). And I need to hear them say what they've done to prevent the problem going forward. Hell, if you do those two things, saying "I'm sorry" isn't even necessary, because you've already demonstrated it with your actions.

It's pretty simple. If you apologize and take accountability it shows you are honest and know you can be wrong. If you shift the blame onto someone else, then it shows that you are not responsible and always think it's someone else's fault never your own. Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone takes accountability
I think it also depends on the community that is coming at you for an apology because there have been many cases of streamers genuinely apologizing and communities still tearing them apart especially in the art and makeup communities they’re very vindictive over there.

Linus didn't lose his CEO position because of the drama, shortly before it he decided to make someone else the CEO while he became CVO (Chief Vision Officer), which is even his title in the apology video
And his response was very good.
Their process of property management was probably overall bad, or simply companies that sent them stuff, sent it forever (Initially they sent it saying LTT can keep it). Like on some videos they constantly joke what they stole from work.
I think the fact that Matpat put so much of himself into his videos, and cared so much about doing right by his fans, and the public in general, is a big part of why he ended up retiring. It’s a beautiful thing to care that much, but the mental toll when things don’t go right is a lot higher when you care
Mr Beast literally got caught in a controversy the same day that Fnaf had its tenth anniversary
The one he showed here is kinda weak asf tbh
Your apology will be judged by whether or not you have to issue another in the future. You probably will. But sincerity and a commitment to doing better speaks volumes more than any words ever can.
The best apologies are changed behavior
"His [Linus] mismanagement cost him. . .his position as CEO of the company"-Wait, but Linus was already not CEO of the company before all this. He voluntarily stepped down like several months before and hired his old boss to take over as CEO. There was an announcement and everything.
Ya. People really overlook that they were already trying to fix things (though at a smaller scale).
Yup. It’s a little misleading. The apology vids were kinda messy and that part is true but it didn’t cost him his position or anything of the sort.
Word, but Linus always seemed like an asshole though, so fk him, ya know..
eh who cares? misleading slightly, but it has no baring on how big of an a-hole Linus is.
Also he and his wife own LMG regardless
The easiest way to make a good apology are these steps:
1. say sorry but don’t over do it
2. Show your real emotions don’t cry on purpose or crap like that
3. Be mature
4. take accountability for what you did
5. accept the fate and hate

As explanation should be enough, but for some reason normal people have a problem when celebrities and influencers do that. Just like they have a problem when an apology is given and the person the apology is meant for doesn't immediately accept it.
If that victim has evidence or the creator makes generic apology then that will make it worse
Yeah, I'm not really sure I understood why that Dave guy apologized for what his teammate did. I'm also not really sure what his teammate did for that matter. From the story, it sounds like the lady had too much to drink, had a threesome, then got mad at the man because she had too much to drink and had a threesome. Am I missing something here?
honestly youtube apologies in general don't make sense. it doesn't matter how good your apology is, what matters is what the first person says about your apology. im not sure why TheManiiShow got so much support for his apology. everyone shit on him because he started copyright striking videos that were making fun of his absolute shit content, and all he had to do is say that he didn't do it and everyone forgave him and forgot about the reason why they were hating on him in the first place. at the end of the day manii makes shitty videos that nobody except young children watch.
@pawsskibidimandrunk people can and will consent to S*x just look at all the college party's happening, furthermore if all the participants of the threesome were drunk as well which is implied, then everyone is on level ground.
@pawsskibidiman Yeah, but like, why did she get blackout drunk? Did somebody spke her drink or something? I guess it's just not what I was taught. I remember the day I left for college, my parents both said to me "Don't EVER get so drunk that you pass out. It's up to you to know your limits, and we won't bail you out of any trouble you get into if that happens." Like, by that logic of she was too drunk to give consent, you could say he was too drunk to know what he was doing. That'd be super scummy to say, right? I guess what I mean is, to at least a little bit of extent, she shoulda known her limits. Also, what was her friend doing in all this? How is she not being held responsible for rape too?
As a black dude, I can confirm what Pewdeepie said literally had me dying on the floor. Even though it was hilarious, I’m still glad he apologized.
the only ones offended was the cracker ones
Yeah "I'm sorry IF anyone's feelings were hurt" isn't an apology lol. "it was in the heat of the moment" is an excuse followed by "I won't make excuses for it" lol. I'm surprised it was so accepted. I don't think it was a good apology, the fans just accepted it more than others lol
@kemerydunn9532 i think the if part of that is because not everyone was hurt by it. I see it more as a saying, "if you were hurt, then this is for you."
Also, the heat of the moment feels more like an explanation than an excuse. He wasn't excusing his behavior, he was explaining it and said that was wrong of him.
@@Eternally_screaming_idiotHe's also not american.
Americans are the place where this is demonized - Because in other places slavery either wasn't a domestic issue, ended earlier, or they speak a different language.
The "N-word" is something incredibly american and deeply tied to your american history. To other countries it's either a footnote (they have their own taboo words, in brazil Negro, the word that the N-word is corrupted from, is considered correct, because it just means 'dark', which is less dehumanizing than calling people a colour.), or it's... a funny word americans say in movies. The only reason I'm aware how bad the word is taboo is because I am chronically online.
Pewdipie didn't make any argument like this because he knows that american audiences are... usually unaware of other people's cultural backgrounds. Too used to the rest of the world speaking your language and watching your movies means that it's easy to assume that people share a culture.
And also because he knows most of his audience is american, and he feels still responsible for falling under standards and practices. (Much like you wouldn't make holocaust jokes in germany).
@@Eternally_screaming_idiotpeople have a lot of trouble reconciling those 2 things, nowadays: either the person who screwed up tries to use explanation as an excuse, or other people misconstrue the explanation AS making excuses
Fact check: Linus was already planning on transition Terrence to CEO before this controversy with Billet Labs. He didn’t “lose” his position as ceo because of it.
had to lose it when he also owns it :)
Matpat taking the blame for something he didn't even have to is crazy. That shows how good of a person he is.

I think Ryans Toy World (the parents) should apologise for exploiting their now 13 YEAR OLD for money. Their making him paly with toys at 13
don't know who they are but i play with my lego sometimes and im 20. Why do you think they are making him?
@@Zagriel. It's perfectly fine to play with toys when you're 13. The real problem with the channel though is how they're making their son Ryan pump out many videos per week, and we don't even know if he wants to make videos. He's been making videos on the channel since he was, around 5 i think?

I love matpat and im sad to see him go but he genuinely handled the situation very well even when he didn't have to address it
I’ve never liked the maniishow, and never will, but his apology will forever be one of my favourites. He owned up to the situation, and did what was needed. He definitely has my respect, as he didn’t dodge the allegations.
MatPat is like a dad apologizing for his kids’ behavior
This is the whole reason why we all love Matpat I watched a bunch of his film theory videos and absolutely love them and I honestly love how he is so genuine but also so comedic at the same time and that apology video man that’s where he shows how good of a person he is
HAHA, THE WATCHER ONE! I remember that, omg, people were dunking on steven because he has a cybertruck and called the fans broke. I loved that people were saying that he forced the other two to say those things
Matt will always be loved by the internet, it’s sad that we had to say goodbye to yet another legend.
Honestly The manni show pulled the best apology video known to man. W Manni.
Why "honestly"
@@SeethingSimpbecause they’re being honest with their opinion??
@@BBBB4444-4Bs I see it on every single video, no one's going to doubt what you're saying if you don't needlessly put "honestly" before it.
@@SeethingSimptheres nothing to be mad at here
@@SeethingSimp Honestly, it’s just plain grammar. First we had the grammar police now we got the illiterate spies.😭
I have to say I enjoy this style of content more than what you have been making previously, a "Here's the good and bad of-" is very fun to me, and not having an overwhelmingly negative video for 20 minutes is so much better to watch for me.
Good/bad apologies set aside, this was an incredibly well made video. Your transitions between the UA-camrs were flawless sir!
Mat pat is genuinely the best UA-camr on the platform in my opinion,he is always honest and never tying to get out of situations without taking full responsibility even when its not his fault,im so sad he retired but a man like that deserves the world,and if he thinks retirement is what he needs,i 100% agree
Matt patt is so adorable I can never hate him he’s so humble and honest ❤
MatPat really is the king. Him and Steph are easily 2 of the most wholesome people on the planet
The problem is that it’s easy to make a good apology when it’s not really you who is at fault; Matpat is essentially apologizing for something they didn’t need to apologize for in the first place.
@Deerjason which is why he's the king. He didn't do anything bad, but still apologized to anyone who may have been hurt by others. Stepping up when you don't need to makes you a king in my opinion
@@Deerjason Easy? Hell, I'd say it's _harder_ to make a good apology when it’s not really you who is at fault. Having to admit the accusations by others of doing something wrong were in fact true and accepting any backlash given.
And you believe that's _easy_ ?
Mat-Pat will be missed. And is missed. Bless his soul and bless him for being the greatest UA-camr ever. We salute you, Mat-Pat.
What the hell happened? Did he die?
@@thedyingmeme6No he retired 😢😢
I mean he still appears on GT live every now and then so he's not really gone.
I love how matpat didnt need to apologize but did and his apology is way better than other youtubers
Is your pfp from bungou stray dogs
I think so?
Apologies can only break you- If you want people to accept you after a mistake then enact actual change
Words do nothing to show you'll be different
I mean it did work for some when done right..
Neon is still hates to this day
And yet again matpat shows why he's one of the nicest youtubers
Hes genuine, loves what he does, loves his friends and team.
How to be like him? I don't know... We should ask him really... We need his wisdom
Mat is the only legend I won't forget, he is my childhood memory
I have to respect manii here, he made a good, solid, no bullshit apology video that cleared everything up.
Something I noticed about the apologies is the body language. All the good apologies stay still, make direct eye contact, and talk normally. All the bad one are jittery like shrugging shoulders or rocking, not making constant eye contact, and talking fast almost like they’re saying it to get it over with.
Note to Self: Never try to make an apology video, it won't go well for me
@@Dreamheart101 Yup. Same here. I'm autistic and I have anxiety, so, my body language would make me seem insincere

7:20 Linus did not "lose" his position of CEO of the company, He was already going to step down and focus more on the content side of things way before this stuff happened.
eh nobody cares. that detail really doesn't matter. he's still a gigantic a-hole.
Yes this is completely true. Very ironic that this channel is showing apologies about past mistakes when they got this completely wrong. Very sad to see that this is entirely ai and not fact checked.
@@scared_bs AI? humans make mistakes bro
Yeah, I noticed that too. Like it happened at the same time so probably they linked those two and never bothered to look at the real version of the story. I've seen this happen in most compilation videos where they tend to make errors like this because they are speaking on so many different cases which are so nuanced by themselves and yet to speak of them all at once it becomes inevitable that there will be some points of shallow research. Might have been the case for other apologies as well, but this is the one I noticed because I was following this drama as one of the oldest watchers of LTT.
@@KaushikMajumdar15Yeah same dude. Yes Linus fucked up his initial response on wan show and though the Corporate apology might have looked insincere to some(I felt it was alright, LMG is a corporate too), in the end I believe they did try to get better.
I think it is important, in the LTT section, to recognize the fact that LTT as a whole actually improved their practices post apology both as as a channel and as a business.
Sometimes you don’t have to apologize , if what your audience is angry for your beliefs. But if it’s something you did , by mistake or on accident, then go right ahead and apologize.
If you are not sincere people will notice
As much as I don’t enjoy manii shows content, I can say, this man could’ve brought out a ukulele, sang his reasons and it would still be a good apology 🔥
This is an insane characterization of how David Dobrik's apology was recieved
IKR no one bought it cuz it was fake lol
Well having to apologize for your friend, not even you, letting women drink and getting with them, that’s pretty normal. It doesn’t sound like they were forced to do anything, maybe take some accountability for getting incredibly drunk to the point of deciding to sleep with someone?
@@josephstalin9575 woah wtf you sound unhinged, its not "letting women drink and getting with them", its making sure they are too drunk to function and hence they can't say no, cuz maybe they cant even speak or comprehend whats happening around them.

What mrbeast is doing is try and do what sunnyv2 did. But when sunnyv2 did, it he did it because he knew that he didn't have to respond since there were no alligations aginst him. But there are huge alligations aginst mr beast that is not limited to breaking the geneva convention.
It could've also been because he saw how Dr. Disrespect made a tweet confirming all of the grooming allegations and gained a ton of backlash of it.
@@jonathanmejia1565more likely he understands that most of his audience isn't English speakers, so they don't know about the drama and if he keeps the silence less people will know
@@NULL_1-o7t yeah
Dogpack still has one more video (I think) so it makes more sense to respond after all videos are released
@@NULL_1-o7t MrBeast himself said that he will answer after DogPack publishes all videos because he doesn't want to create a back and forth considering he still has like 3 videos to post.

To be real the Manii show has the best apology this year and he’s a legend
My biggest problem with apologising is if people just flat out reject or flat out ignore it, then all the hard work you put into it, editing, script writing, it was all for nothing
😂 so true 🤣
there shouldnt be a script or editing in the first place
@@stego- Absolutely agreed with you
Yeah like I understand if someone doesn’t except my apology but ya don’t gotta be unnecessarily rude
Sometimes apologies ARE rejected or ignored though. Does that mean we shouldn't ever apologize?
A thing i noticed is that most apologies that we weren't sincere blame it on somebody else
Manni did, but he also sounded sincere and still took accountability
After the rsgloryandgold situation, i followed and watches him on twitch for years. He was hands down one of, if not the sweetest man on twitch. I didnt even play runescape but he was very nice to watch. RIP RSgloryandgold, will never forget you, YAHOOO!
This video made me realize how much drama there has been... I missed them days
8:48 I can't explain why, but it reminded me of Theo Von saying "If I feel like I really need to get it out, I write it down." 😂😂😂
The first one, I did not expect it to be so good and this also shows the danger's of what can happen to your rep when you hire somebody else. You try to lower your own work load but sometimes this power goes to someone's head.
