From Sweg to Zac

Hey man,
Twitter's pesky character limit really doesn't allow me to express everything I have to say, so hopefully this pastebin response will do.

One video I took issue with is titled "GTA 5 - Jimmy Hopkins From Bully Possible Reference/Easter Egg! (GTA V)". It was the first video of yours I saw, and it didn't give me a very good first impression.
Like I said in my stream, I did make a video response to that video, but I never published it because I felt like my commentary was pretty subpar. I'm doubtful that video will ever surface.

The few videos you made that I didn't like were made circa 4 years ago, so it's really whatever for me at this point.
Hell, if you look back at my channel 4 years ago then I'm sure you could find videos wherein I used similar thumbnail/title tactics.

I was basing my judgement on videos I saw years ago. Which I'll admit is pretty silly. YouTube evolves pretty quickly and so do the people on the website. Maybe your content has changed, maybe it hasn't. I don't know.

At the end of the day it really does come down to how you as a YouTuber choose to conduct the editorial process on your channel. Some won't mind it, but some will.
I'm very blunt and honest when people ask me how about I feel about certain channels, so I don't really hold back when someone asks me what I think of a person or their video content. In your case I just expressed what I felt from watching the aforementioned video.

If I click on a video and expect something that is strongly suggested by both the title and thumbnail, and I end up get something vaguely connected to that then I almost feel like I've been duped.

I had a similar problem with LegacyKillaHD at one point. We talked it out and quickly came to a mutual understanding. Clickbait is something that is heavily frowned upon by a lot of people, so I have gotten some heat from other Bully YouTubers for simply being on good terms with the guy.
It's pretty absurd when you think about it.

I've had several experiences in the past where I found out that some of the people I follow really don't care for me for whatever reasons. I know that it doesn't feel too good when that happens. Still, it shouldn't be about me. It's your channel. You can conduct it in whatever way you want.

HeavyWeaponsBellic (the guy who said that you stole his video) is a good friend of mine. Like I said in the stream, I wasn't aware of the situation between you and him, so I was surprised to hear about the supposed video theft. I still don't really understand what's going on there, but I'm leaning more towards the possibility that it was a simple misunderstanding/coincidence.

Every now and then you will unknowingly make a video very similar to someone else's video, so I've had similar accusations thrown my way. I don't really care about these sort of things to begin with, but I could see how a small channel like HeavyWeaponsBellic would have a more emotional response.

Anyway, thank you for the kind words. I do appreciate it.
And for the record, I don't dislike you as a person. I don't really know much about you to begin with, but you seem like an alright dude. I just didn't care for the video I mentioned. The video wasn't badly made, it was just published in a way that I found to be misleading. If you disagree with me on that point then let me know why.

As for using information from my content and crediting me, go ahead. I appreciate the credit and I encourage people to give this great Rockstar Game more attention. The developers, actors, and musicians involved all put a lot of creativity, talent, and hard work into it. The end result is something very unique and fun that deserves way more attention.

I'll be sure to stay tuned for your upcoming Bully video. Good luck!
