Isn't the current big drama someone literally doxxing another Youtuber and sending threats to their family alongside nasty parcels+visits?
I think you're talking about SSSniperWolf and JacksFilms. It's particularly interesting because it's not just two people arguing. SSSniperWolf very clearly violated YouTube TOS as well as possibly California law. YouTube's response essentially protected her because she's YouTube royalty, pulling in 1 million+ views on all her videos, which are all her "reacting" to tiktok videos.
It's beyond "drama". It's a giant tech/media company playing favourites with creators who break not only TOS, but copyright law, and US law. It shows they'll look the other way over any infraction so long as you make them enough money.
Exactly. Calling it "Drama" is an understatement. Though I was also partially referencing Illumigaughtii who is known for abusing her employees and actually fucking other people over financially
People love to dismiss Youtuber serious controversies as "Petty drama" but then usually it's stuff like SSSW and Illumigaughtii which is very much serious shit.
