    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.

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.

    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.
