Thanks for watching! 💙
I was watching this having no idea who ShotGunRaids was and once you brought up the pics of the actor for the fake hacker vids I vividly remembered a few years ago or smt watching all of those vids in like 1 day thinking they were all real. 😭
I remember watching them too. I also thought they we're real. 😭
it’s more hilarious knowing they’re fake, it’s crazy how the actors agreed to the role 😭
@@10clearr lol true
to be fair the videos were quite good 😂
Finally more people have noticed how fake he is
fun fact: shotgun raids isn’t off the internet, he still has connections with other youtubers as he was in a skeppy video
Yey first reply
Second
Used to watch him, I was suspicious but never thought about him doing this stuff that much.
Same lol
@@BuddhaRBLX i used to watch the murder mystery vids of preston like '15 dantdms' or smth it was a great time
I remember believing his “catching hackers exploiting on my server” videos until I saw someone post a debunk on them lol
Same dude
I believed them until I forgot about him for like 4 years
i literally just found out that these were fake from this video... i feel dumb now.
@@gamingwithlukeEToH I'm so embarrassed why did I not think it was staged 😭
@@jbisthedjBordem and since when we washed these when we were smaller you trusted big figures. Now me personally I stopped watching him after the Fortnite videos and after seeing a debunk video on him
fun fact! shadical used to be a mod on a minecraft server i played on (omega realm) back in like 2015, and he blew up on pokemon shiny hunting memes with a tweet about resetting a shiny latias. what a wild ride
damn... I remember i used to watch him at school during the breaks
same
"is it really beef if you're a pig?" Is a hard line tho ngl
First video with big UA-camrs is crazy
i think he had a different channel before that
I saw this video like a week ago, and forgot about it.
TODAY I stumbled upon those hacker trolling videos, watched like 5 of them with growing suspicion... I searched him up, and found this video again. It took me like five minutes of this video to remember and realize everything. xD
Nah, being 16 isn’t a defence, he knows when what he’s doing is wrong
ofc it doesnt justify his actions but we have to be lenient and forgiving
@@ZEEGO2000 … cause he’s 16?
@@TAK_ThatAlligatorKidyes,teenagers are dumb,i should know,i am one
@@TAK_ThatAlligatorKidthat's how the government think (juvenile prison)
@@TAK_ThatAlligatorKidunfortunately thats how americans think
I think we all knew that those actors were acting it was always the same 2-3 people!
Yep, same 3 people, same excuses, same poor acting, and pretty much every video was the same, he'd trap them, kill them, they'd always be playing lifesteal servers and they'd get really "apologetic" when they had 1 heart left, then suddenly the next day they'd just be back at it again as if nothing happened and even shotgun never mentioned "I trolled this guy once before" he just acted like it was a new person
shit like it been 4 solid years since i heard his name, bro dug up a grave for me
i really admire your editing and pacing! something i'm trying to get good at myself, keep up the great work man!!
My guy, this is quality content you’re posting! You need more subscribers!!
Thank you man!
Beefing with techno was the straw that broke the camels back 💀
The *pigs back
I honestly had no idea any of this happened. This is why i like youtubers like this, who put all the facts together in an easy to understand format in exchange for a view or two and perhaps a subscriber
The fact that I just got into his content
ngl shotgunraids was a genius, he had an insane run really good at networking and always knew how to move from trend to trend in the youtube space, idk if he was guided but that guy had a perfect run
i always wonder if these channels have like advisors behind the scenes. the way his channel is does not feel organic whatsoever
Seeing videos like this one, edited in such a way that makes me feel like im watching one of those Chris Chan documentaries, but instead it’s about something that isn’t as serious makes me giggle.
BRO I KENW THIS LIKE 4 YEARS AGO FINALLY A VIDEO CAME OUT
I used to watch so much of him, during the Fortnite Era especially his iconic quote “Oh yeah, Oh yeah”. And finding out his Minecraft videos thinking it was real.
in the technoblade video, the first one, hes just casually bridging and duping his wood
prob had the builders perk active
perks
It’s a perk
Even if he clickbaited or whatever, i think that in the end he's just a smart youtuber. He hit the algorithm only in the things he knew would do well and stopped when he realized he didn't need to anymore. Its like he ran a business, made it a million dollar company and then left the board with all the stock
i've already found 3 videos on my fyp exposing my fav youtubers, im going insanef
Used to watch them but never even thought about him faking the videos, as it just didn't occur to me. I totally forgot about his existence
iv actually talked to the guy a bit on a server he just randomly joined n he seemed like an aight guy from those msgs.
Rest in peace Technoblade
I was watching his videos last night, NEVER would have thought the "hacker" was an actor he acted so well. This is insane
your so underrated bro
thank you bro! 🙏
I've watched his hacker videos from time to time; it seemed pretty obvious to me that they were staged, if only because it seemed like he was always busting the same 3 "hackers"; the straw that broke the suspension of disbelief was when he got into a call with one of them. Truth be told, i didn’t even mind them as background fodder videos knowing they were staged, if not for the fact that his scripting felt like they were for 12 year olds, constantly interrupting the flow of the video to foreshadow the endgame like 5 times per video.
May of been fake but that shit was entertaining
Yeah
yeah thats what i dont get about this video, he gets called out for clickbait, which is standard on youtube, and fake content which multiple other minecraft youtubers like skeppy for example have made in the past too. and then he calls shotgunraids out for taking breaks? are people not allowed to feel burnt out?
not defending shotgun by any means just dont understand the point of the video
@@reev3s Yeah it doesnt really make sense.
@@reev3s Simple, to get views. This channel isn't his, it's bought and it's obvious.
@@reev3shaving misleading thumbnails or titles is very different from making an entire video and portraying it as fact
Holy crap, I've been wondering why his last upload was over 2 years ago
I only started watching him a couple weeks ago and I had no idea he did that stuff
hes still active in the minecraft community actually i think he just tries to make each video better than the last
i just discovered this shotgun guy today and watched lik 3 vids and then i was recommended this, crazy...
This channel is insane. This is the best video in the channel. How does this still not have 1M subs????? The editing is crazy....
keep up the good work man
thank you man!!
Man I was even subscribed to this guy because i found his videos of exposing cheaters fun but I never knew he did this
I remember myself watching his fake vids four years ago thinking it was real . And it was fun . I enjoyed it . I thought he was a great UA-camr . Got sad after he stopped posting.
i didnt know he was that young and i thought he was faking his content but i still enjoyed it
I was just watching him 😭😭 and when I first watched him, the hackers felt off
It's actually pretty surprising how many people thought his vids were real, I enjoyed watching them but even I thought it was pretty obvious they were skits, he kept reusing the same 3 actors who you use the exact same excuses in every video and every video he would act like they were new people he'd never trolled before
I was literally on his video when i saw yours below it, I got suspicious after I saw the same guy over and over and over again, and the way they talked just didn't sound real at all.
It got to a point where I was like no way this is real but I wasn’t sold on it till the videos got repetitive over and over again
I watched like five of his videos and after three I was always asking myself "Damn he features this guy a lot. Is he paying him off?"
I'll be honest, as someone that always found it was weird that the hacker was usually the same guy when the series started first picking up?
Tracks.
omg I was wondering why his name sounded familiar and I've seen that video of a "cheater on my server" damn takes me back
I remember watching his hacker videos for the fun of it
I just found the guy this week and I found it very strange that all the streamers where were hacking always acted the same like literally the same crybaby why are they doing this to me kinda crybaby
Glad somebody decided to talk about him. I just hate his videos, yes, they're entertaining, but he treats his viewers like children. He constantly interrupts the video just to say "stay tuned, because it gets so much crazier" multiple times per video! Most of the time even those are fake, because it never happens.
Majority of his audience is probably children tho
I did see some of his videos and get very skeptical, sometimes I did see that the mimic was wrong like small laughter while they was ragging, you can see it very good that the emotion are played.
I actually didn’t know that he full on abandoned the UA-cam channel, now I understand thank you for the infromwtion
This broke my heart. I thought he's content was real. I've been bamboozled
They're doing it for views is also a wild thing to say. That's what everyone on the platform is doing. Also the internet runs on clickbait, some is worse than others but acting like you're some saint who doesn't click bait is bs.
Never in my life thought that X would play minecraft.
People over the age of 15 who thought those videos were real need to get a grip.
I only remember shotgun off of Preston’s bedwars vids and lives when I was younger but never really looked at his channel, don’t know why but not a bad decision lol
oh god i forgot abt him...
Lol knew it, the “hackers” were so unlike-able it was too much
I recently started watching his vid, I’ve never heard of hive before I was just trying to look for new UA-camrs to watch. It was a vid of him trolling a person that was hacking and I immediately recognized the hacker from another fake video. And now I’m hearing this ya I’m never watching that guy again. You earned a sub :3
I used to watch a lot of his content before as a kid but stopped when i realize he was posting too much of these hackers to be real lol
lol, I just got recommended his twitch hacker vids earlier today and watched them. I wish I had seen this vid first.
I remember watching this guys videos about a hacker on a server
When they had the power armour in the banner before the season started, I expected a fallout poi. I was disappointed that there wasn’t one lol.
6:55 oh. my. god. it's been like 4 years since I last heard Tenebrous' name. why'd you use Childish's avatar tho 😭
small correction: Shotgunraids wasnt exposed by "New Tenebrous" at the time New Tenebrous made that video he was called just "Tenebrous" and was owned by another person who was exposed for being a pedophile before giving the account to someone else, where it then became "New Tenebrous"
Anyone who used to watch him before this 👇
I was always annoyed at his constant “Subscribe or ___ will happen” and the constant stops in the video when he’d ask us to subscribe, it felt weird, when it came out he was faking with Shadical it made a lot more sense.
used to watch him, and never knew any of this that he has done
I watched shotgunraids hacker videos in the past but forgot about him idk when so i was interested when i saw this video cuz i haven't seen him in awhile and damn i never knew 99% of this stuff
Oh btw when u were mentioning the youtuber "New Tenebrous" that was not his name back then. It was just "Tenebrous" but he ended up getting exposed for being a pedo or having some sort of relations with a minor (i dont remember the exact details its been 4 years) so he quit and handed the channel off to his friend and renamed the channel new tenebrous hoping that he could revive the channel as a different person. The new guy only posted a few vids after that and disappeared im pretty sure.
completely forgot about this guy, didn't know they were all fake...
Not gonna lie I initially had doubt in this video. Then after watching it and looking at what other people had to say it all makes sense. This is the second time I discover a creative I watch makes fake content that is entertaining. I guess the time he spends time scripting videos than watching anime.
I just started watching his hacker videos bro... This ain't fair😭😭
After posting 8 videos in a row from the same streamer, it really is quite suspicious. The hacker streamers were very caricatured and he uses the same methods to troll them.
this is sad I loved shotgunraids
I always knew his videos were fishy, but to be honest it was entertaining.
I don’t care if it’s clickbait or smt, if it’s entertaining I’m fine with it.
here's the thing man, I probably left some hate comments in the past. I don't care if he fakes his videos, big problem is that he started lacking and wasting my time. He clickbaits, makes promises of what happens later in the video or a future video, and reuses old footage, treating the people who watch his videos like fools. edit: I think this only matters because I believe he makes good videos. It's very simple to make his content good again.
his hacker videos were too funny to be real
well even if he fakes his videos and steals ideas to make it his own, it is still kind of fun to watch.
I’ll be honest I didn’t know the videos were fake until now, because I never really looked into it,
Interesting video. However, we love ShotGun. He makes great videos calling out and banning pathetic cheaters who whine. He's a great creator who had many monumental achievements and was clever about it from a young age. Impressive.
Wow crazy. I was just watching his videos, watched like 13 of them and on the last video I was watching the guy he was going after was saying the same stuff as the other guy he went after in a different video, and I was thinking to myself this all seems staged and fake. Then I went back to my main youtube page and YOUR VIDEO... THIS ONE SHOWED UP hahaha.. yeah pretty sure his content is fake at this point. Entertaining and fun to watch none the less.
Ain't no way. I believed his videos were all real 😭
As much as liked to hate on shot for some of the stuff hes done. Admittedly he was living an online double life it seems which i imagine pressured him even more
Tenebrous used to actually be fairly well known but was exposed as a PDF....
glad the clickbaiter is gone
It sucks seeing people like him succeed in UA-cam so easily and other people like myself pour everything into their videos and still struggle. Man that irks me so much. I can't stand faked/staged shit like that and it makes me sad to see him reach such heights with that bs.
Holy shit Shadical??? I remember him being in Mr Top 5s Fortnite videos 😭 Shadical Chicken
I only watch his content for a good laugh
Also technically saying the person who told him he banned him for fatshaming is boring and shadical is just a nobody now also people shouldn't just go to his home
Damn i really enjoyed this dudes videos it sucks everytting was faked
Norton Dan sounds like shotgun raid
Funny that I watched the ones with shadical and said editor years later got the same treatment. Glad all those three aren't on this platform no more.
Edit: I should've said two since shotgun didn't do anything horrendous.
Emm you know, emm you know, emm you know, emm you know💀
I knew his videos felt off
ironically that hacker video he’s known for was how I figured out he was faking content I hadn’t really watched much else
new tenebrous isnt his name its just "tenebrous" he gave his account away to someone else and now its called "new"
I don’t like shotgun but I only really watch him when I have nothing else to watch.
icl even if the vids are fake they are really well made and are entertaining 🤷♂. What that other guy admitted to was crazy tho ☠
facts 😭
in all fairness cant rlly blame a kid for chasing that bag. it worked
heck i was in his discord server like if you tag him you get timed out for like 5 minutes and he is always on discord just online not speaking at all.
