Content Creators, Drama, and Self-Destruction

While not technically YouTube drama it certainly has become drama.

Minio goes Source Only right before a nice CVE comes out for it leaving people who also paid for licences high and dry (if the comments can be believed)

Context: Yesterday, one of his 40-month subscribers called him out for being evasive about CollarGate and it clearly messed him up that he couldn't simply dismiss them as being Mossad.

I am not joking. Empathy was what he wanted to talk about, before he was interrupted by someone pointing out that his dog was suffering and he had to briefly deal with the inconvenience of awkwardly refusing to do anything about it.

For context: People are claiming that Hasan Piker shocked his dog with a shock collar on stream for basically no reason and got very mad at him. He put out a video showing her collar for 0.001 seconds in the world's most awkward hand grip and saying it was clearly a vibration collar and his enemies are trying to ruin his life as they always do. People including myself are still suspicious.

I looked at the allegations in this video myself a little, and I won't swear to the model numbers or anything but it all sounds right to me. You may need to pause the video to look at his images, he scrolls past them irritatingly quickly. There does however definitely look to me to be tape on the back of that thing. This is from Hasan's explanation stream where he showed the collar:

Click to see the raw image and zoom it, and you'll see pretty clearly that most of the box is shiny dark black plastic with bright white highlights, and then there's a clear off-kilter rectangle of something that's matte dark grey instead, without much in the way of highlights. You can also see vague shadows of two little circular things that could be prong sockets covered by tape or could just be weird compression artifacts or something.

Here it is with contrast adjusted:

You can see the rectangle of the tape, and then some kind of distortion at the top that might be a prong socket, and a pretty clear circular shape at the bottom that definitely looks like it could be one.

In another part of the video you can see that circular part under the tape even more clearly. Look between his fingers to see the clear circular shape, you can even see wrinkles in the tape around the circular protrusion:

Yes, I'm already aware that the Hasan stans will say I'm making all this up and it's not there and they don't see anything. Anyway, that's what it is. If I did my math right, those frames are from https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2586575954 and the timestamps are, respectively for the three images:

• 43:58.396
• 44:09.292
• 44:09.333

Somebody inform reddit, the drama must flow.

Compton Jay Out at RBN. Nick at Noon Live

RBN didn't want to make this public until that maniac CJ hacked RBN's Twitter account over his removal and decided to make this public

Cj was voted out because

1. Making decisions without approval of the group

2. Attacking Sabby multiple times. I snapped at him today because I was tired of him disrespecting our members

3. Attacking allies and friends of RBN under our banner without approval of group

I tried to work with him but he refused to change. This is going to suck but we cant have toxic people who can't take criticism and refuse to build community with us
