@Dickmcfadden69 Hey buddy: go fuck yourself.

I hosted this event. I put more time and money into making people happy than you do with your $8 checkmark and unoriginal jokes.

Have a good day :)

[gregandcin @gregandcin4real]

@ilinnuc Hey, this was an event I hosted! If anyone's coming after my players, I hope they can find happiness. I'm putting in more work and money then they have to make others happy

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 on track to follow a similar path, hitting 200k in just a few days. I was really excited about that.

Then @Asmongold reacted to it, which I was also excited about. I don’t have an issue with people reacting to my content in a transformative manner on stream. @Samwitchx, for example, reacted to my 'Why YouTube Feels Different' video on Twitch last fall, and it was awesome.

The problem has always been with YouTube-specific uploads. As others like @Pinelyy, @jacksfilms, and @DarkViperAU have pointed out—and I can now confirm—YouTube reaction videos, especially those with the same title as the original, siphon off potential early-stage viewers.

This is why, with the current system in place, I’d prefer that if people want to react to my content on YouTube, they give me at least ten days. If you want to react on Twitch or even Kick, I don’t mind at all. But given how YouTube works, I’d rather my video have some time to breathe before major creators post their reactions.

Asmongold and I discussed things via DMs, and his editor has since privated the video. You can still watch his reaction on Twitch, and my original video is up on YouTube.

For those wondering, my video did get a small external boost initially, but it quickly lost momentum. On the day he posted his reaction, I gained 1.6k subs, which is great, no doubt. But the new subscribers from reactions don’t come close to making up for the loss in views and revenue. That’s why I said this sucks—because it really does. The current system is flawed.

We can do so much better. I believe the internet is big enough for well-done, transformative react content, and I fully support fair use. However, this experience has made me think about how YouTube could improve the landscape for everyone.

@YouTube has the tools to make things better. Tagging a video as 'react content,' similar to how they tag AI content, would be a great start. Introducing a revenue split system, like the one they’ve implemented for music, would be even better.

React content isn’t going anywhere, and there’s a big difference between fair, transformative reactions and content that can negatively impact small to mid-sized creators.

As for what’s next for the video, I’m not sure—especially with the recent surge of comments and views from my tweets. Who knows where it will go from here.

If you enjoyed the video or any of my content and want to stick around, I truly appreciate the support. A bit about me: I’ve been on YouTube for years, but I started this channel 16 months ago. Hitting 100k subscribers this past winter was a dream come true! I’ve also been featured in the @WSJ and the @nytimes for some of my videos. My goal is to create engaging content that sheds light on important issues. If that sounds interesting, check me out!

Thanks again, hope that clears everything up!

Patents for video game mechanics are a joke.
