a tale as old as time

The SssniperWolf is the biggest 'reaction' channel on YouTube. I.e. steal other people's videos, giving no credit, and not being transformative. You see a ton of these, and every last one is 100% worthless. She constantly goes for the 8 minute marker so she can run more ads. It's all stolen content, nothing given back to the real creators.

Jack, had been making videos about this, calling out SssniperWolf specifically (the biggest offender currently). Helping people get their videos removed from hers. He's done this for years, SssniperWolf is just the latest. Example, many years ago the big offender (though one could argue actually had some effort put in...) =3 with RayWilliamJohnson.

So, this week, SssniperWolf decided to track down where Jack lives, then made a video post showing his address, doxxing him and his wife. Now she's playing ignorant and innocent, pretending she doesn't even know what doxxing is. Doxxing has in the past led to swatting which has led to people dying.

stupid youtube drama

His point was that YouTube should not provide her a platform, whether he pursues legal action or not is separate from YouTube giving her a platform. I imagine that if he is planning to pursue legal action, he won't be publicly talking about that for some time.

I see this sentiment a lot. Why do you think he didnt? Why wouldnt he do both?

This goes well beyond mere YouTube drama, I think. This is getting into the relam of actual criminal behaviour.

Daily reminder that calling out immoral behavior from a content thief isn't "drama", and minimizing it is what you'd do if you're either a moron or stand to gain something from it.
