- I have no issue with people reacting to my videos in a transformative way—I actually encourage it. But it definitely sucks to see my video slow down at 300k views while Asmongold’s reaction gets almost a mill. My vid was only up for 5 days, and it’s pretty much lost all momentum.
- Replying to @zas11s and @AsmongoldThis is blowing up. Just to clarify, I’m not mad at the player, but at the game. Honestly, I feel like YouTube should have a system similar to quote tweets or a kickback system for reaction videos.
- Just discovered this Hawk Tuah girl. Really hoping she launches a podcast, a dating app, AND a cryptocurrency! 🤞This is where hawk tuah started, the legend lives on

- People have asked for my thoughts on the Asmongold situation. All I have to add is that when I mildly criticized him a month ago, his fans lashed out in ways I’ve never experienced in all my years online. He’s cultivated this kind of following through deliberately creatingAsmongold's main streaming account, zackrawwr, has been banned from Twitch following "racist" comments

- Posts like this infuriate me. If you’re making $10k a month creating AI slop on YouTube, I’m genuinely embarrassed to share a platform with you.It costs $0 to start a YT channel It costs $0 to script with Claude AI It costs $0 to voice with ElevenLabs It costs $0 to make thumbnails in Canva It costs $0 to edit your videos with Capcut It costs $0 to analyze videos with Viewstats Here’s how you use them to make $10,000
- Here are my collected thoughts since this has blown up far more than I expected, and I've received some wild comments. I tweeted earlier simply to share my personal experience—nothing more. I've had a few videos on my channel reach over 1 million views, and this one was onI have no issue with people reacting to my videos in a transformative way—I actually encourage it.

- Yeah man, facial hair… brand new concept. Just invented last week.
- These thumbnails shouldn’t be allowed on the platform, and YouTube should crack down on AI-generated slop.
YouTube Drama is so TOXIC! True Crime: - I mean, sort of. My channel has been growing over the past year. I hit 150k without the Asmongold stuff. I no doubt have gained a lot of support and exposure because of this, but I wouldn’t say anything has exploded.
- Replying to @_vincevintageTyler Oliveira is one of the worst YouTubers of all time. Glad someone is finally exposing him. He tries to pass off as a "journalist," but lies to his audience in almost every video he makes.
