I think everyone has heard about it by now. I tend not to comment on these things because drama follows it and a lot of what I say could be misunderstood. I also never know all the info as it happens and the internet is gullible.
I will say I didn’t like the idea of what they were doing and it was very very poorly communicated and arrogant in a way. The whole idea and execution was a mess. It was a very scary thought for youtubers and a very dangerous path to go down the trademarking route.

Im glad they have cancelled their plans for it and have rescinded all trademarks. Its a shame it took losing a tonne of subs and internet backlash to do it instead of them having the foresight to know it was a bad idea. Hopefully they learn from it.

I also hope the witch hunt will stop now. They did a bad thing, suffered consequence but tried to fix it. More blood doesnt need to be spilled. People relishing over them losing subs and hosting livestreams of the numbers dropping is cruel and over the top. Also people insulting them for their looks or being jewish are scum and taking it way too far. Hopefully we can all just move on now.

I think they showed their true colours and will never be trusted again. Their whole series was built around exploiting content creators and has ended with attempting to exploit content creators.
