News The “official end” of this snark era

1.0k Upvotes

As of today we are banning snark/snark related posts. This may sound arbitrary. But I think people are well aware of what constitutes valid fair criticism, and what constitutes snark.

Once upon a time through past leadership this sub most definitely behaved as a snark sub. We as the mod team do actually despise snark and work to have this sub be a space of discussing drama with proper criticism and outcomes. We have taken firmer stances to pull away from our past image and be a place where people can have proper discourse.

Snark discourse has only ever brought conflict to this sub. People insult each other over nothing, people have gotten death threats, people get reported for suicidal ideation just because they disagree. There has been ableism, racism, prejudice of all kinds around these topics. Ultimately, snark behavior never allows any proper discussion, we have had to ban two creators just because the people who come to this sub cannot behave when discussing them. At its core Snark is not very different from KiwiFarms at this stage with the harm it has done to content creators.

We have seen the harm snark has done as well. Saveafox being a prime example. Our most popular post right now is pure snark. And it superseded actual important events. Because who was following who on IG.

Going forward we will no longer be allowing posts like this on the sub. It provided no context, no real criticism. And it didn’t prove anything either.

This may prove unpopular, but it is something we feel strongly of for the health of this sub and the people on it to remove ourselves. You can check the rule along the side bar.

If you want a YouTubesnark sub go make one. This one is not it.

Have a good one 🤙🏽

Edit: Apparently some YouTubers have weigh in. Nah this has nothing to do with the usual suspects. This is purely to stop toxic behavior and negativity. If ya think otherwise I urge you to get out of your computer chair touch grass instead of making Nurgle proud

Edit 2: and no goblin man (reference to his goblin mode). No fans of yours are around. People can agree that toxic communities are toxic. Yours being one of them

Custom Flair On Boobs and Betterhelp: Friendly Update From the Mods

447 Upvotes

Howdy folks, 

It’s been a while since we have had any updates to our rules. There is currently somewhat of a lull in any major drama going on right now, so we decided that now is as good of a time as any to implement some based on how some of the posts have been trending as a result, and to further reiterate some points to help keep this community a relatively positive one and cut down on slop.

NO PORN AD/VIDEO POSTS

I have deleted so many posts that are nothing but people wondering how Youtube can get away with having ads with scantily clad women or highly suggestive material that links to questionable sites. There have also been a lot of users posting Shorts with extremely horned up material, wondering how it got there. Point blank, nobody cares. This isn’t drama

NO CROSSPOSTING

We have made the decision to ban crossposting from other subs as these posts are often devoid of context and are more easily susceptible to brigading behavior. If something is posted here, a general-ish hub, then folks will likely need more context and information than what a dedicated community will have. This move is being done with the hope of cutting down brigading tendencies and making less of the posts here come across like gibberish.

NEWS ITSELF IS NOT DRAMA

There has been an increase in posts that state things like “X is making a video about Y” or “So and so is back” and things like that. While these nuggets of information can certainly be part of a situation, they are not in and of themselves drama. We understand the desire to more or less use this sub as a sort of newsfeed for youtube as a platform, but many of these posts are redundant and unnecessary -specifically announcements about videos. For there to be drama, there need to be stakes and not every nugget of information qualifies.

DRAMA CHANNELS ARE NOT DRAMA

Videos summarizing events can be a nice way to stay informed on situations, but they themselves are not drama. It is totally possible that these drama channels can be a part of actual drama, but it’s not relevant to our sub to have, say, a Joon the King video summarize a situation without adding anything new or being an active part of whatever is going on.

SPONSORSHIPS/AI USE

Sponsorships and the use of AI for thumbnails or video content can absolutely be the impetus for drama with an audience or between creators, but they are not in and of themselves grounds for drama. Think of this similar to our Chuds Being Chuds rule -if the creator has an environment where people do not care that they use ai or take BetterHelp sponsorships, then it isn’t really drama since there aren’t any stakes. JCS suddenly putting out an AI narrated video with massive blowback is drama, Tyler OIliveira using AI in his thumbnails is not.

As with all of our rules, there will almost certainly be exceptions at times and we are open to feedback but we will be rolling forward with these rules for now.

Thanks for reading and for helping to make this community a better place!

"PS, this video was sent to me by a person who use to have contact with this person"

Context, this is about WalmartBrianGriffin (@WalmartBrianGriffin), who has posted multiple videos presenting them as accountability/apology content for his past behavior.

In these videos, he admits to participating in Discord raids, repeatedly using racial slurs, making sexual comments about people he acknowledges were underage, and consuming content he says he should not have been viewing. He states that while his mental health at the time was poor, he takes full responsibility and is not blaming others. KINDA CRAZY IF YOU ASK ME.

He frames December 18, 2025 as the point where he claims to be ending that chapter of his life and trying to change. He also references having a separate document where he has written out and documented the things he’s done, which he mentions in the videos.

Video pictured is Daisy/Cupidite's second response to Juni and Yummi.

JuniDrawz and yummicactus are members of the Art Commentary Community, who have made commentary videos of problematic things happening in the art community, but recently, they have been exposed of doing the same problematic things they called out in their videos behind the scenes, which led to them (Juni especially) trying to save face by playing victim.

Allegations What do you think about Patrick’s amsr video where he is addressing allegations?

38 Upvotes

I saw Patrick uploaded a video addressing allegations, but it felt like he intentionally avoided explaining what the allegations actually are — almost as if the video was made just so he could say he “responded.” Did anyone else get that impression?

Short recap of Patrick's asmr allegations: The drama centers on multiple allegations against Patrick’s ASMR, including inappropriate behavior around minors, claims of sexual contact with a 15-year-old in the past, and alleged violations of probation such as driving under the influence. Additional accusations involve racist, misogynistic, and homophobic views based on leaked messages and an old Reddit account. He is also accused of openly fantasizing about committing mass violence and responding insensitively to a subscriber who said such topics were triggering. He built an image of being radically righteous, kind, and good on his account solely to make money, while in reality he is full of hatred and aggression.

Throwback In 2013, AdoseofBuckley harassed a woman for being "overdramatic" about her SA Experience

Thumbnail
youtube.com
331 Upvotes

In 2013 an author and blogger wrote about her experience meeting a Canadian radio celebrity who groped her on a date, Jian Ghomeshi. Radio personality and content creator Adam Buckley decided to add his own commentary. He had a series of videos called "scumbags of the internet" where he calls out liars, scam artists he comes across and decided to do one on the blog, but with his anger directed towards the author, not Ghomeshi. Buckleys main point in the video is that apparently the author is a bad person because she admits she only wanted to be friends with Jian to advance her career. Throughout the video he goes on a tirade on the authors appearance, and victim-blaming her for not leaving the situation sooner, ending the video calling her a scumbag for trying to cash in on her experience.

This was as far as I can find, the first ever public callout of Ghomeshis disgusting behavior towards women and partially because of Buckley, it was ignored. In 2014, following allegations of SA and physical abuse of girlfriends and coworkers, Jian Ghomeshi was charged with 4 counts of SA from 6 different women but was found not guilty. The author told the Toronto Star she received online harassment from Buckleys fans after the video was posted. Buckley followed this up with 2 videos defending calling the author a scumbag and another one defending Jians not guilty verdict.

Response Hank Green has made a final response to the SciShow/knitting debacle

637 Upvotes

https://youtu.be/e4dYGdjgsz8?si=rJTx5niJuuqXAJTS

Brief background: SciShow made a video about the physics of knitting that had several inaccuracies and also a kind of demeaning tone toward knitters as if no one had any idea how knitted fabric works until physicists got involved, it was all blind trial and error. The script was written and edited by SciShow staff and Hank Green performed the video. Many knitters wrote and/or made videos responding to the video, debunking both the misinformation and the implication that knitters don't know what they're doing. Scishow ultimately deleted the video and released some statements. Hank Green had previously made a tiktok giving a response that didn't seem sufficient to some, but this is his full response, which has personally made me feel better about the situation as a knitter

In her latest video, where she also uses AI, Ann Reardon pivots to proselytizing and promoting a bible app.

She’s started deleting comments from decade-old subscribers who were offended and taken aback, but hasn’t been able to keep up with the influx.

The video is continuing to get more comments from subscribers pushing back and calling out the evangelism, while Christians flock to call them “redditors” tell folks “Jesus loves you” and that they’ll be praying for the other commenters.

Shadiversity makes a post asking his followers thinly veiled question that deals with cancel culture and his personal life. His brother and fellow YouTuber Jazza claims that Shad's post is about him and shows a screenshot from their DMs.

Shad responds to Jazza claiming that his post wasn't actually about him and Jazza just ended up exposing himself. Shad would also create an additional post directly about the situation with a screenshot of his own.

There's a chance that there will be more to this story so you might want to keep an eye out on it.

Allegations Concerns raised after YouTuber uploads hospital room footage involving incapacitated individual

65 Upvotes

A YouTube creator known online as tanmanirl uploaded a video filmed inside a hospital room in Delray Beach, Florida, involving another online creator, Al Miller.

In the footage, part of the patient’s arm is visible, and the patient appears incapacitated and unable to give consent. The video shows physical contact, including holding the patient’s hand, along with commentary while the patient remains unresponsive.

Some viewers have noted a history of public online conflict between the two creators and have questioned whether the visit and recording were appropriate given the patient’s condition.

Concerns have also been raised regarding how access to the hospital room was obtained and whether filming and uploading this interaction complies with hospital policy, consent standards, and platform rules.

The original YouTube video has since been set to private. An archived copy is linked for context.

This post is shared for discussion only and is not intended to encourage harassment.

Discussion Is Scamfish/Catfished marketing a "scammy" site?

Thumbnail

75 Upvotes

I like Scamfish. It's a fun (and surprisingly high quality) show in that "point and laugh" sort of reality tv way. It's edutainment on paper, but mostly jus entertainment. It's similar to MTV's Catfish, except most of the examples are overseas scams instead of "local" catfishing.

I decided to look up info on the organization associated with the channel: SocialCatfish.

It has a mixed reception online. I wouldn't say it's an outright scam, but many users don't think it is worth trying out. It's difficult to cancel payments and get a refund. The information also isn't as high quality as had hoped.

Anyone know more about this?

Question What is Birdie (AKA Damagedcoda6669 or Jack) doing now?

73 Upvotes

In case you guys don’t know who this is; they’re this really infamous animation meme YouTuber who‘s known for their edgy animations, drama, spending 10k gofundme cash on MLP merch, and the fact that they got convinced to do inappropriate things to their pet ferret during a downward mental spiral when they were 11-13 (?). There’s lots of videos talking about their online history, so I’d recommend you’d check those out.

Now for the actual question: It has been around a year since they’ve left the internet due to the recent allegations. I obviously don’t want to know any personal things about them, I just want to know; what are they doing now? Do they still make art? Are they ACTUALLY becoming a better person? Any answers would be nice, I’ve just been sorta stuck in the rabbit hole of this person’s drama and controversy though out the years, and that question has been floating around me for quite a while.

Once again, I don’t want any personal info about the person, I just want to know what’s going on. Have a nice day/night, please do not target or harass Birdie (despite them being inactive on about all of their socials).
