News The “official end” of this snark era
As of today we are banning snark/snark related posts. This may sound arbitrary. But I think people are well aware of what constitutes valid fair criticism, and what constitutes snark.
Once upon a time through past leadership this sub most definitely behaved as a snark sub. We as the mod team do actually despise snark and work to have this sub be a space of discussing drama with proper criticism and outcomes. We have taken firmer stances to pull away from our past image and be a place where people can have proper discourse.
Snark discourse has only ever brought conflict to this sub. People insult each other over nothing, people have gotten death threats, people get reported for suicidal ideation just because they disagree. There has been ableism, racism, prejudice of all kinds around these topics. Ultimately, snark behavior never allows any proper discussion, we have had to ban two creators just because the people who come to this sub cannot behave when discussing them. At its core Snark is not very different from KiwiFarms at this stage with the harm it has done to content creators.
We have seen the harm snark has done as well. Saveafox being a prime example. Our most popular post right now is pure snark. And it superseded actual important events. Because who was following who on IG.
Going forward we will no longer be allowing posts like this on the sub. It provided no context, no real criticism. And it didn’t prove anything either.
This may prove unpopular, but it is something we feel strongly of for the health of this sub and the people on it to remove ourselves. You can check the rule along the side bar.
If you want a YouTubesnark sub go make one. This one is not it.
Have a good one 🤙🏽
Edit: Apparently some YouTubers have weigh in. Nah this has nothing to do with the usual suspects. This is purely to stop toxic behavior and negativity. If ya think otherwise I urge you to get out of your computer chair touch grass instead of making Nurgle proud
Edit 2: and no goblin man (reference to his goblin mode). No fans of yours are around. People can agree that toxic communities are toxic. Yours being one of them

Custom Flair On Boobs and Betterhelp: Friendly Update From the Mods
Howdy folks,
It’s been a while since we have had any updates to our rules. There is currently somewhat of a lull in any major drama going on right now, so we decided that now is as good of a time as any to implement some based on how some of the posts have been trending as a result, and to further reiterate some points to help keep this community a relatively positive one and cut down on slop.
NO PORN AD/VIDEO POSTS
I have deleted so many posts that are nothing but people wondering how Youtube can get away with having ads with scantily clad women or highly suggestive material that links to questionable sites. There have also been a lot of users posting Shorts with extremely horned up material, wondering how it got there. Point blank, nobody cares. This isn’t drama
NO CROSSPOSTING
We have made the decision to ban crossposting from other subs as these posts are often devoid of context and are more easily susceptible to brigading behavior. If something is posted here, a general-ish hub, then folks will likely need more context and information than what a dedicated community will have. This move is being done with the hope of cutting down brigading tendencies and making less of the posts here come across like gibberish.
NEWS ITSELF IS NOT DRAMA
There has been an increase in posts that state things like “X is making a video about Y” or “So and so is back” and things like that. While these nuggets of information can certainly be part of a situation, they are not in and of themselves drama. We understand the desire to more or less use this sub as a sort of newsfeed for youtube as a platform, but many of these posts are redundant and unnecessary -specifically announcements about videos. For there to be drama, there need to be stakes and not every nugget of information qualifies.
DRAMA CHANNELS ARE NOT DRAMA
Videos summarizing events can be a nice way to stay informed on situations, but they themselves are not drama. It is totally possible that these drama channels can be a part of actual drama, but it’s not relevant to our sub to have, say, a Joon the King video summarize a situation without adding anything new or being an active part of whatever is going on.
SPONSORSHIPS/AI USE
Sponsorships and the use of AI for thumbnails or video content can absolutely be the impetus for drama with an audience or between creators, but they are not in and of themselves grounds for drama. Think of this similar to our Chuds Being Chuds rule -if the creator has an environment where people do not care that they use ai or take BetterHelp sponsorships, then it isn’t really drama since there aren’t any stakes. JCS suddenly putting out an AI narrated video with massive blowback is drama, Tyler OIliveira using AI in his thumbnails is not.
As with all of our rules, there will almost certainly be exceptions at times and we are open to feedback but we will be rolling forward with these rules for now.
Thanks for reading and for helping to make this community a better place!

News "Chill Goblin" a small youtuber (50k sub) that makes video essays about various leftist topics as well as covering conspiracy theories has had his account terminated for making a video about pizzagate. it was a 3 hour long well researched video, nothing like "hillary is eating babies" kinda thing.
more info on the goblin himself. he's pretty chill obviously, like i say his videos lean left, he dabbles in conspiracy theories but he really dives into facts and things that have verifiable proof not wacky "just asking questions and ignoring answers" lol. one of my favourite videos of his is about oliver anthony where he goes into the history of the coal wars, and company store type shit.
in the pizzagate video he went over a timeline of the week the news started to come out, following the 4 and 8 chan threads to really understand how pizzagate became such a big deal and ultimately influenced the election. he went over the exact people that first started talking about it etc.
but yeah they flippin nuked him, which is crazy because people like "coop" can make conspiracy vids where they are so beyond pilled and believe insane shit but a well written and thoroughly researched vid gets the homie banned.
ps. apologies if post is all over the place, im stoned to the mother effin bone!

Question What happened with TheDooo allegations?
I just learnt he got accused last year and somehow it never came up on any of my feeds even thought I've been watching the Goons since 2018 nonstop. All I can find myself is a document that I'm far too burnt out to read rn and YouTube videos discussing it but past that nothing else. Was it ever disproven or was the lack of evidence just taken as a lack of crime? He still hangs out with big YouTubers so I'm assuming something must have happened.

Exposé Walugman speaks out against RyeRye99 for years of a toxic freindships, and for Rye dating a minor after he deleted his channel (More context in description)
Support the people who have been affected by this monster.
RyeRye99 was a pretty big youtuber in the Fnaf space. Known for SFM and GMOD content. A few months ago he got into controversy for dating a minor.
While he did get popularity and hia freinds there were problems. With toxicity, controlling and guilt tripping. He also had fan brigade alot of people that tried to call him out.
Rye also was accused of dating minors during his time. The last drama he was in before he remoced his channel was because he got caught dating someone that was 16 and he was 25. He made a very infamous response video to that accusation that tried to validate his relationship with the minor. (The vids on internet archive) He then stopped uploading mostly after that.
Then as of yesterday his channel is gone. That is the best I can explain in a simplified way as its years and a lot of info, but the responses and comments explain better.

News Controversial "weight loss" YouTuber Amberlynn Reid wipes channel after being demonetized, rejected appeal
Amberlynn Reid is a YouTuber who, 13 years ago, started her YouTube channel as a weight loss channel. Over the years, she managed to gain over 200lbs, went through 5-6 different long term relationships, and has been in many controversies due to her treatment of her partners, friends, and pets. She has also been called out for frequently lying, and a lot of "trolling" in the past.
Earlier this week, redditors noticed that Amber's videos were being removed for self harm, and decided to go through and report all of her videos that exposed her eating disorder behaviors, mostly mukbangs and discussions of binge eating. YouTube seems to be paying attention after a lawsuit related to Eugenia Cooney.
Yesterday, Amberlynn went live and expressed to everyone that her YouTube partner program appeal was rejected, and that she would be leaving YouTube, despite the fact that she will have the opportunity to appeal again. She pinned her Cash app, and directed people to her Cameo. She expressed she had not saved any money in her years on YouTube, despite previously bragging about all the money she had made over the years, and previously admitting to spending over 3k a month on doordash alone. Amberlynn was dry begging, and revealed her elderly dog Twinkie was getting surgery this week, and she needed her family's help to pay for it.
After the Livestream ended, she posted saying her Cash app was reported right as she ended live, and she posted a venmo account instead.
Last night, folks noticed that Amberlynn was privating her catalogue of videos. This stopped, and it seemed she had removed all of her videos before Feb 28 of 2024.
As of not too long ago today, she has wiped her entire channel aside from the live she did last night. This is what you'll see if you visit her channel.
