Will 2015 be the End of TH-cam Rewind? ► bit.ly/23VDUQa
Today, I'm getting a bit personal. Only four months into the new year and already 2016 has seen a ton of scandal on TH-cam, but the biggest story of all focused around React World and the Fine Bros. As a friend of the Fines, it got me to really think about their situation, the React scandal, and how TH-cam is changing. It's a weird time for TH-cam and TH-cam creators...and here are some of my thoughts. It was a very different, and very personal, episode for me to work on. I hope you like it.

To everyone saying that this video is "late" -- as I mention in the video, it's hard for people to look at a situation objectively when the Internet is raging. I wanted to take some time and look BACK at the situation with a clearer head. Would views have been better on this video had I released it in the middle of the drama? Probably...and that's the danger of TH-cam culture right now -- rushing to hop on bandwagons with kneejerk responses to rake in views. But that isn't the point here. For me, it was much more important to do the subject justice and get a true assessment of my personal thoughts and feelings about what this means for digital content in general, hence it coming out now.
I see now
Cool 1st reply.
I agree completely with your points matpat! ps I love your videos :-)
+The Game Theorists Isn't this entire video an example of how competition increases value, and attempting to use government for control (trademarks) is a failure towards true development?
Yes...it is much easier to debate on the topic if it is not a 'fiery' time.
Dropping some serious knowledge. Respect.
+Austin Evans OH MY GOD HI!!!!!!
Hey bro!
+Austin Evans You have 1 million subs, ima upvote you :K
+bobby schutz even though i got no clue who t/f you are :K
Aye!
There probably exists an alternate timeline in which Matpat trademarked the word 'Theory' and finebros would be reacting to it
Just wish his toxic fan base would leave new start up game theory channels that are making there own theory videos alone, and let them make there own content as well.
S
Look at your likes 666 lol
@@GANTZ100pts toxic?
@@Yourlocalbush Yes. Toxic. His fans years back when his Game Theory channel was new. Where harassing the newer channels telling them "they can't do that." When others tried doing their own game theory channels.
You know, for so long I thought MatPat was about 25 and just had a girlfriend but today I found out he's 31 and has a wife...mindblown
Kayla Gaines same his voice is still pre-puberty 😂
Whaaa?? He looks younger than my older brother... who is 17...
this surprised me so much i shouted WHAT loud enough for my mom to hear in the other room.
wHAT?!!
Lol, get ready for your brain to explode again, THEY HAS A CHILD😂😂😂😂😂
I want to shake the hand of the person who created this intro
.....This was six months ago and why do you keep ending your comments with :)
Its creepy
DankTank Games what's creepy is how you know that he keeps writing a smiley face in his comments
Dean Daboss Because he posted like 3 comments on this video like
"Good job dude :)"
"Cool video you earned a sub :)"
Uh. It was 2. One when I saw the intro for the first time and the other about the video itself. If I had put these two things into one comment, you wouldn't be saying anything :\
@DankTank Games
Not trying to argue but I find it kinda funny how you find smiling creepy. People have the right to show happiness through smiling even if that smile can only be shown through symbols on the internet. :3

Alsoooo... idk what's wrong with commenting on a video even if it's a pretty old video. If you have a comment it's better late than never and it's not like the comment section closes after a while of a video being upload.
-
I just don't understand why people go into comment sections and criticize things like that. *shrugs*
...but that's just a comment, a new comment! (on an old video)
If I ever meet MatPat IRL, I'm buying him a diet coke.
The deadpool avatar just makes this even better.
+Taja Johnson Same man. Same.
id buy him a 6 pack
I'd buy a box.
I'll buy a truck.
"One change to the algorithm could devastate whole TH-cam channels"
*one year later*
WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED. MATPAT PSYCHIC CONFIRMED
Watching this in january 2018 I feel like the drama of 2016 was just the beginning of what was coming to TH-cam in 2017& now in January 2018. It's really weird to look back to a time that was said to be a big hit for TH-cam...
I feel ya
Just makes ya dread what's coming next . . .
That is so relatable..
And I come from 2019. I bear not bad,not good,but _"meh"_ news. Also TH-cam Rewind somehow managed to get even worse.
2019 boiiiiii
I GOT IT
LET'S TRADEMARK THE WORD TRADEMARK
THEN PEOPLE CAN'T TRADEMARK WORDS ANYMORE
GENIUSNESS
+Neil Divins Making the real suggestions here :D
A meta solution for a meta theory!
+Neil Divins Or we take it one step further. So we trademark the word copyright and copyright the word trademark, it's the perfect plan.
+Neil Divins I'm all for trademarking the TM sign, so every time someone has to mark a trademark, we'll have a never-ending row of the TM symbol because every time you use the TM symbol you'll have to show that it's trademarked by using the TM symbol.
God damn these videos are good.
+Philip DeFranco Wow! That's an honor coming from you :) Thanks for watching, sir.
Oh, hey Philip.
+Philip DeFranco I love yo face
IKR
Hey both of you!!!
It nearly made me cry seeing Ronnie on here.
Rest in peace Ronnie, may the demons that chased you be gone forever
*When it's 2017 and you check matpat's subscribers on game theory (8 million) and u check vasuce3 and their subscribers are 3 million muhahaha haha*
I forgot my name wow I did the same....
but its 8.7 subscribers
Wow! One person I saw on one video and another *subscripes*
now its 9 million
He now has 11 million
I'm loyal. I'll never leave this channel
Me too.
+Odd Wright Same. ^u^
always stick with the smart theorists
long time no see mat I missed you and your theories
Same I won't leave film theory nor this one he the only YT that I feel comfortable
I feel like trademarking a word to prevent people from copying you is the business equivalent of licking your stuff as a kid to keep other kids from using it.
+Lilybel Ibe Right?
Haha I had people who would steal your stuff then lick and then stick it down their pants in order to stop you from wanting it back! 😂
+Lilybel Ibe Best comment I've seen referring to this issue yet XD
+Lilybel Ibe im trademarking EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET now give me your money scrubs
I never thought of it that way before
the intro blew my mind
Lol ikr
Commando Leon the guys in the videos are called renegades react. Great guys
You got your diamond play button now 😀
I hope I can say the same one day....
one of your subs will be saying that to you and so on......
I'll sub to ya!
I subscribed
Smart
No way MatPat, we wouldn't leave you for bigger companies theories...
....probably....
unless that guy with the crazy hair. from history channel starts narating theories. In which case Im outta here.
+Zextral
I FREAKING WONT
+theshuman100 He already has, that is the whole point of "Ancient Aliens" lol. Instead of TH-cam, he is doing it on cable tv.
I won't leave you
Matt this guys called Film Theory has been copying your style of videos for a while
They are literally exactly like yours editing style, look everything
I think you should do something about it
Oh... Oh my.
lol
I sense a troll
I really hope you joking
+TheApexPlayer they even copy his voice it is just sad
Hi I’m from 6 years I’m the future. TH-cam doesn’t have a dislike button anymore!
*highkey one of the best channels on youtube* slow clap for you my guy
*Two weeks later*
"Matpat trademarks the word "Theory.""
GOD DAMN IT, MATT.
Theory World?
Done lol
+the little epic ninja mine now
Hahahahahaha
+Auron530 if he would he would get raided by swats
Excuse me I trademarked the English language
OH NO NOW I GOTTA SPEAK ROMAN
Cat Rawr u just typed in english. Welp we both did. Crap
I trademarked languages. Pay up, guys.
I trademarked Life, pay up lol
😁
10:54 Don't worry MatPat I won't fire you at least not anytime soon but don't worry probably not ever.
honestly I follow a lot of theorist channels like the carlin bros, watso, etc. but game and film theory are my top favorites to watch. Honestly even when I struggle with nights of insomnia or depression, a lot of these funny animated videos with easy to follow theories with exciting, thought provoking questions, that often are questions only you guys would come up with, help me take my mind off of things, and the voices of both you (Matpat) and Austin are terrific to listen to, and honestly have conditioned me to find them relaxing whenever I'm stressed out. I've learned so much from y'all watching y'all's theories, and I hope y'all never give up theorizing, and I hope y'all have a long, prosperous channel!
Thank you for lumping me in with creators who just want to express themselves, which is why I've decided to finally abandon this business and make the switch over to my true passion, finger painting!
You do you Wheezy!
WHEEZYYYYYYY WAITER!
+WheezyWaiter Wooo! Hey man! =D
Looking forward to your next Mental Floss episode!
Lol
+WheezyWaiter finally, we all had a feeling, Wheezy.
I always love the theories you do on actual TH-cam itself, it's definitely more suited for content creators than your regular audience and I really appreciate you doing that
+ChippyGaming hi chippy im a big fan i miss stardew valley
CHIPPY !!
Even terraria's youtuber here....TH-cam is a big place,hah?
well the game theorist is big funny and smart
Well said, Chippy mc chips.
3:12 almost made be cry. Ive been a sub for so long and its still sad to see him go.
I've seen some of your videos for just a couple of weeks (between Game Theory and Movie Theory), and THIS one sealed the deal, I was kinda aware that you truly analize the topic you're talking about and come up with the best explanation for what's happening/happens/happened. I also found out about the FBE controversy a couple of weeks ago since I started watching their videos, but I came to a kind of similar realization as yours, I didn't care that much since I was more interested on the reactors (you as well since you've been on "TH-camrs React") and kept watching their videos anyways.
I really love there's a youtube channel like yours willing to disect something to reach to it's secrets or even a "non-existant" response to something a lot of people might be asking themselves or even ranting about. I'll certainly keep watching your videos and probably recommend you with some friends I know they'll like you, but for now I'll just leave this comment and tell you congratulations for your diamond play button!!
MatPat, I've been watching for years now and honestly, one of the things I've realized about WHY I watch certain content and WHAT content I watch is almost entirely dependent on PERSONALITY.
You are who I'm watching. The content certainly is interesting, but even if it grew "stagnant" I would still watch this over something a corporation is churning out because it's YOU. I don't know how true this is for other people, but this is also why, above all other "Let's Players" I watch Markiplier and a as a VERY close second, Game Grumps. I watch the odd video by PewDiePie, jacksepticeye, cinnamontoastken, etc. But Markiplier and Game Grumps are where I go to watch new Let's Play videos because I LOVE Mark, Arin, Danny, Suzy, Ross (not so much...), Barry and Brian... They are like internet family to me. The years I've spent watching them also would make it really hard for me to stray regardless of the content produced (which yes, I have felt at times the content might've started lacking, but the fans give them a virtual slap in the face and things go back to normal again).
I've been watching videos on TH-cam since the very beginning and I will likely be here until the site no longer exists. People like YOU (and everyone who works for your channel) are the reason I will be staying too. If every independent TH-camr disappears because of the corporate interest and massive networks migrating to TH-cam from TV, I will find a new location to get my media. There is a reason I haven't paid for cable/satellite in over a decade.... And it's because of the entertainment I can find on the internet. No other reason. And again, I'm getting into the territory of redundancy, but it's people like you who made TH-cam what it is, so I really hope they realize that and don't start prioritizing TV content over the content of people who made TH-cam what it is today. I believe in equal opportunities for everyone, so if certain content is better, or equally entertaining then sure, it deserves as much praise as anything else. But I hope money doesn't start completely influencing every facet of TH-cam like Cable television has for 4 or 5 decades now.
What a long post... sorry... I'm quite passionate about this as well even though it isn't really something that impacts my livelihood at all.... However it impacts my lifestyle and that is VERY important to me.
LOTS OF LOVE AND APPRECIATION MATPAT and GAME THEORY!!! You guys are phenomenal!
+World+Savior I saw grump and I thought I saw trump lmao
+山岡アンドリュー Did Markiplier get a virtual slap in the face recently about his content? The middle of Fran Bow marked the day I gave up on him after years of loving his work; I watch Jacksepticeye now, he's so much more genuine…but I'd be happy if Mark got back on track. The last straw with Mark was when his fans started telling him he was trying WAY too hard with his "funny voices" while playing Fran Bow and he posted a comment saying "I don't know what you want, this is what you signed up for and this is what you're getting" - which I basically translated as "I don't care what you guys think or want anymore." He actively protested against his fanbase rather than listening to them - I mean, his fans weren't saying "don't do silly voices", we were saying "you're trying way too hard to be funny" (to compare, his LP of Off contained funny voices and it was actually good, he paid attention to the game and wasn't trying so hard to be funny that it hurt to listen to him)…To me, that marked the end of the Mark I loved and subbed to, no pun intended. Did he end up listening?
+Wandergirl108 yes, he ended up listening. He doesn't try nearly as hard. He actually made a video (on april fool's day) of him eating cereal for 5 minutes
***** Heh, you should see some of mine… XD
I can't read this whole comment can you give me a summary please?
This video is a must watch for anyone that spends a lot of time on TH-cam content creation
sup Patterz
Hi Patterrz!
+Patterrz yoah, did not expect to see you here!
+Patterrz Patterzzzzz! >3
congrats on 100k!
Thank you again for a clean, interesting, fresh video. It's so hard to find content on TH-cam that interests me AND is clean enough to not embarrass me in front of my parents. I actually showed your Matrix video to my dad, and he loved it.
Really one of the only channels I enjoy on youtube. I enjoy this channel to the point i go back an rewatch episodes just to see if I've missed anything in that certain theory. Just wish I could do more for the channel.
Out of all of the reaction videos to the Fine Bros controversy, I have to say this video stands out. Matpat isn't coming across as accusatory or even angry, which a lot of TH-camrs are, he's actually explaining what's going on. I think I can understand a little more as to why the Fine Bros did what they did; I still don't agree with it, I still think it's an incredibly stupid move, but I can understand it a little better.
Fear makes fools of us all; it can drive even the sanest, most rational human beings into the realm of lunatic hysteria.
+ShatteredPsyche did some one quote that?
TACOS DERP THEN TACOS No indeed; it's completely of my own invention.
Yes. It actually makes us think for a while instead of making us choose to roam in a one sided argument
Honestly, I think you're way better than those big corporation youtube channels. You're way more interesting, and you actually seem/act human, which is always a plus. ^-^
Humans 4 Life :P

+SlayerTheGamer HAHAHAHAHHAHA ILLUMINATI AHJAHAHA
+Death Soultaker yeah deathsoultakerisnati confirmed
true
I've been on youtube since 2005, I've consistently and actively watched videos rather than cable television for the entire duration. Honest to god I cannot remember the last time I watched a program on live cable television, I can say its been more than 5 years. I've met youtubers, married a youtuber, found many friends because of TH-cam, and have tried to produce/ create my own content for a few years. I've gone through the highs and lows. But this site, the memories, the ever growing content, and its community (granted not all are great, but a lot of them are!) are why I stay. This site has grown and changed (sometimes not for the better) in so many ways. This video really does preach the truth about this site, its ins and outs, so for that I applaud not only you MatPat but everyone who could make this possible. To the editors, to the people you referenced, to the comment section. I know this comment is long but I don't leave comments all that often either so please forgive me. Thank you for showing your passion for a site I love and cherish. I know during times such as these, with the monetization of youtube videos being inconsistent and unreliable things can be rough. I hope for your company, and any content creator who may be reading this ridiculously long comment, that these times pass quickly and youtube can get back to doing what it does best. Entertaining the masses, and providing a healthy revenue for those who truly have a passion to create.
I don’t know about you guys, but I will be here as you want me to be! New theories get me so pumped and I hope you never stop! Thank you, Matt, Steph, Ryder, AND THE ENTIRE THEORIST TEAM! You make me so happy. Just keep doing what you do.
I just got u 1 sub higher to diamond play button

So the moral of the story is...
We should unite as an internet collective and fight the filthy TV invaders?

aye aye! to arms
We go!!
Before the bell notification was a thing
I make it a habit to visit matpats channel at least once a week to check for new videos since The Skyrim Arrow to the knee episode.
I really like how you do your videos, the amout of editing is off the chart and very entertaining as well with your tone of voice makes it even more enjoyable. 😀
Am I the only one that shed a tear at the end seeing all the theorist family?
I generated a tear, but never it dropped though... I do feel you.
your picture fits so well i'm crying
I don't know half of those people, so I did not shed a tear...
yeah, one tear isn't enough.....
+Tee Hee no
For the record MatPat, I didn't even know VSauce3 did theories on games, you've always been my go to :D
+GraVeu same here!
heck i didnt even know that there WERE other channels that did theories on games
+Risktacer same lol
Sounds about right
I didn't even know Vsauce existed till a few weeks ago, and I just found out they had other channels than the main one. I've been with MatPat for many years now.
I come back to this video (the meta videos in general) every so often and they’re always great
Your actually my favorite channel on youtube! Ill always go back and rewatch content!
I think the most important thing to me, is your personality, and that, even though the channel is growing, you are staying you. That is why I tune into every live stream I can, I watch and re-watch game theory episodes, it is because I am watching you.
+TheCrystalGem Also, I will be disappointed if this doesn't go viral within a week.
+TheCrystalGem Deep, i need a highfive from you through the telepathic interwebs at this moments now
Unlike a certain bearded man
in my opinion
+TheCrystalGem lol so tru
+Lost One I don't get it can you elaborate please?
"The reason I do this is to make mo' money"

Gotta get that TH-cam revenue.
+Zan Man Wats wrong with that one? .-.
+Leopoldix Nothing, people just can't comprehend the idea of people who work hard for their content to get money in return
***** k
He has the balls to admit it. And it is what it is, dafuq you want? Charity work? Ha fack off mate
I have been watching the game theorist channel for about 2.5 yrs and one of my favorite parts is trying to re-think the evidence. The best part to the videos and the film theory counterparts to me is the style of idea presentation and what is sure to be passion. No I am obviously pretty late to this video and I only just learned of the whole trademark attempt by the Fine brothers, The points made in this video are very well thought out and presented even in relation to the normal video. I agree completely that the nature of competition here is a good driving force. All these major companies would not have any idea the power of this platform if not for the hard work and growth of youtube content creators. The foundational nature is very apparent and the direction and potential is so open and near limitless. I hope you are here in years to come and am glad you can appreciate the pressure.
you think THATS a lot of drama for the start of the year? god I would love to show this old matpat 2018
Oz I would want to show Matpat the beginning of 2020
Just you guys wait for 2022...you ain’t seen nothing yet
2020 def broke the record lol
2021...

well that last line got me right in the feels. i got all teary. i just love love. matpat loves his fans.
I will always be here for theories. And I love your voice overs and love your videos ^^
"You might find someone's whose theories you like better then mine" you're right matpat I much prefer MrTheoristfist247 theories, than your theories.
+Kid Komedy I have just found out that that's a real channel and MatPats not crazy.
+Kid Komedy MatPat made that Channel.

+Kid Komedy check the comments on that video
+Kid Komedy LOL "I don't like your channel that has theories so I'm going to subscribe to another of your channel that has theories'
All these people complaining about how late he is, when he LITERALLY said at the beginning why he waited with this video for a while. I CAN FREAKING PINPOINT IT WITH A TIMESTAMP: 2:43

No matter the community, a lot of people on the internet are cancerous
+TheGravyNator
I was the 69th upvoter. But I only noticed it after the fact, so don't worry it wasn't JUST for that reason. Though, it was reason enough to point out, huehuheueu.
+Madi Well you have to remember that people just hide behind a username so they can just say what ever they want and not be punished, but they will never say that stuff to the person in real life.
I'm glad this was the first comment I saw
You’re amazing matt !! You’re one of my fav TH-camrs, your voice is like butter to my ears, your theories are so interesting ! Keep the work going !!
There is no channel that I love more than yours. It's so creative and points out what others would never notice.
You and Stephanie are always open to all ideas and possibilities. You two never cease to inspire me. Thank you for what you do.
you gotta love this guy!
Shiro The Forgotten He is the kind of dude you would go drink a beer with, an alcohol-free beer that is.
Stark ya!
Stark lol yes
THE INTRO MADE ME DIIIIEEEE!!!!! XDDDDDDDDD
Lena Oxton R.I.P in peperonis my friend
Funnily enough, what drew me to your channel and subscribing to it was the fact that I don't play video games. For the longest time they've never really appealed to me, meanwhile my brothers have become big gaming enthusiasts [to a degree, at least] and the more they would talk on and on about games I'd initially not cared about, I began to feel left out and far behind as I had no one to talk to about my own interests while they would go on about theirs to each other.
Trouble was/and is, I just can't convert to gaming, I've tried and I just can't get with it, so all the while I'm still behind with little idea what anyone is talking about.
But after I started watching your Theory Videos I began to develop a new appreciation for video games, your videos have helped me to see a deeper, more intricate and thought-out side to things. Suddenly games to me stopped coming across as mindless side-scrollers and 1st-person shooters, but playable stories with a lot of time, effort, and love put into them.
Suddenly I had found a way to appreciate a medium I'd previously felt so alien to, and even if I still can't relate to my brothers [fussy, nonsensical little rats...] I thank you for that, MatPat, for helping me see a little farther
:)
+TorridPrime217 :o
For all we know, MatPat is just a ranting video game conspiracy theorist who has a sense of humor.
sir, I like your story
or miss, I dunno
Do I get a ribbon for reading all this?
Awww this is such a sweet video matpat I will be one of many many others to say that I'll always be here to watch your theories and support you!!
Matpat I really love your Chanel because the way you think gets my mind thinking of the theory that you post and their amazing theories Matpat I enjoy your theories a lot
That's it. I can't take this anymore. I know how to stop this. I am going to trademark the word copyright, and copyright the word trademark! That'll show 'em
lmao
+The Gibus Man I support this plan of action. stay strong my friend. lol.
G.E.W.P!
Do it.
OH MY GOD YEA
The "Seriously, Thank you for watching" at the end with the pictures of all of the crew members made me actually cry. That's an achievement, and I'm not going to say why because I don't want to sound sappy and attention-grabby, just know that I have a depressing backstory and that you need to know nothing further on the matter. But, in all honesty, MatPat, thank YOU for making your content, and, with the addition of GTLive, making me feel like a member of a community of awesome like-minded individuals. It's not often that I find a group of people that I actually like, and both you and Markiplier have brought together two of the most amazing communities I've ever seen. Markiplier has created a community of compassion, and you have created a community of intellectual pursuit and a quest for answers to life's questions, both of which I hold very closely to who I am, and how I think of myself. Once again, thank you, MatPat, for giving me one of the places I can look to and have faith. Faith that, even after I die, there will still be others like me that want to know, and to learn. Faith in the logical power of others. Faith in humanity as a whole. And thank all of you theorists reading this, with your big and beautiful brains.
:-/
+Aryc D; srry matpat this happened to me too. I had my name, someone stole it and my viewers srry I know how you fell.
Aryc, you should know, that there will always be someone for you. It may not always be the person you want to, like a random guy on the internet, but there will always, ALWAYS be someone for you. Even through hard times and all the difficulties of life, itself, there WILL be someone for you. And I want to tell you two more things... Life has lots of obstacles, that just have to be dealt with, one way or another. Every obstacle makes you stronger and more prepared for the next obstacles/difficulties. And I also want to thank YOU, you have gone through really though times and I am happy for you that you have made it. Also thank you for the awesome comment you left... I haven't seen such a long, powerful and well written comment in a really long time... You have a strong heart and from just reading your comment I can tell you're a really smart person. Use that as your advantage. Life is hard and full of difficulties that you're just starting to experience. Use the obstacles as your advantage for the next, harder obstacles... Stay strong my friend...
P.S. I know I'm just a random guy from the net, but I feel your pain... I am twelve as of now and I have already experienced a lot of difficulties with life. Believe me though it will get better :)
As I said... Stay strong my friend. And always try to smile... It is a weird part of the brain that whenever you smile, even if you're extremely sad it will make you forgot why you are sad and make you happy :P
forget* And also your comment almost made me cry :P
Kalin Mihaylov Thanks. It's nice when people care. Especially on the internet, due to its reputation for being so hostile.
I love you MatPat you are be far one of my favorite TH-camrs out there! As well keep up the the amazing work cause you have a viewer here always interested in what the Theorist network does next!
I'll always watch your game theories as long as you keep making them👍
I'll always watch you MatPat.
Asleep or not.
Ok then Matt buy a gun
Lol
CatPat Will Protect Him HE NO NEED GUNZ
+irishboy0909 Haha, I read that and blinked, then paused and muttered, "Wait..." and realized what you were saying, XDD!
you watch him in his sleep?
Renegades on Game Theory... (Bows head and pleads) We're Not Worthy! We're Not Worthy!
Nice
yay
I wonder how you REACTED to that.
See what I did there?
Its because theyre a reaction channel.
Its funny, because I used the word reac... forget it.
+nicht see u in court.
MatPat youre my FAVORITE youtuber
actually i love all theory videos
I know it may not be much, but i'm still here ^^ We all love game theory, film theory and gt live. And you guys are my most watched channels alongside, Gmm. It is my daily routine to watch Gmm, and if there are no new posts, I simply rewatch older videos. I do the same with your channels. Seriously not a day goes by that I am not watching one of your videos. I usually feel put off by youtubers who are angry or whiney or have so much drama, so I struggle to find videos I enjoy. But I have a few channels I can't go a day without. And yours and gmm are the first I check. Thank you for making me feel at home on your channels. I've actually been rewatching your videos since 3.30 in the morning here ^^ and so I came across this one again and decided to comment ^^ game theory shall live on as the best theory channel alongside your others, for me at least. And you and your team? The best theorists ever.
No way! I will keep pressing the "B" button and stop TH-cam's evolving!
+Alvin De Rama No, I tried that and it just makes you jump repeatedly.
B to blow?
+Alvin De Rama HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO LEARN HYPER BEAM IF YOU WON'T LET IT EVOLVE?!?!
+Noah Stockton hax
+Noah Stockton So THAT'S why TH-cam keeps changing! What's its moveset now?
Congratulations Pat. Fnaf 5 just got announced you're doomed.
+TheDarkFlame WHERE?!!!!
+Hyper Beast Check out Scott's website
+TheDarkFlame Oh, it looks like a FNAF and FNAC crossover. Sister location, it says, soo.....
(screaming and the sound of a plastic lightsaber knocking over a well-arranged transformers collection.) LEAVE FREDDY ALOOOOOOOOOONE, SCOTT!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!! JUST LET THE SERIES DIEEEEE! STOP LETTING THE CANCER SPREAD!!!
+TheDarkFlame you can only milk a cow so much. scott doesnt understand that tho
+JustAMirage Unfortunately his cow is an infinite source of milk.
So close to that diamond play button. Keep up the good work matpat. Love your videos!
How the hell did I miss this scandal until now? And why did it just pop up in my feed 5 years later?
same with me 😅
Same I just got a recommended video by utoovoos talking about the situation
Many other people may make theory videos but to me Matpat is the OG and I will never go to the Ellen or Forbes side. I'm staying loyal to the best channel on TH-cam. Drop a like if you're a part of the MatPat-ers (Working title)
*MatPat not Mattpat
Tobias Hankle "best channel on youtube" you are either a liar or a fanboy
super vegito its a personal opinion. "Best Channel" is not just about sub or view counts, it's more about how the contents we are watching, does it intrigue us and do we like it and if we do, on what scale. I can say theodd1sout is the best channel in youtube and some will say some other youtubers like Fine Bros, MatPat, Pewdiepie, etc, it's because we like it more than others, it's like asking whether is Durant or LeBron the best basketball player, or is Messi or Cristiano the best football player, in the end, there's no the best, only one of the best, because everyone's opinion of the best something will always be different.
For example my best YT channels are QJB, QiasOmar(QrewTV), VanossGaming, BuzzFeed (Worth It series), theodd1sout, MatPat, FineBros, Jacques Slade, Fitz, JesserTheLaser, Life Noggin, TSM, Twenty One Pilots. These are the channels where I will click first when notifications pop up. By now you know what content I'm interested in. I have to stress people change as well. Last time my best ones are Pewdiepie, Nigahiga, MatPat, FineBros, Bodil40, KSI, Vanoss, Matthew Santoro, Casey Neistat, SivHD, SSundee, WHZGUD2, yamimash, ZexyZek,.

Jeez! I wish this could have been seen in the midst of the controversy. It sheds light not only from someone who can put himself in those guys' shoes in a really pragmatic way, but also openly dissects the issue from many other viewpoints converging in something that can be more reasonably analyzed. They probably went over their heads on this one, but they are not certainly the "super villains" they were painted as being.
Well get me my crane berry kid, and I'll tell you the days of the Great TH-cam REACT Controversy.
Agreed
There's a good reason why people think they are super villains. If you looked from their perspective, there were many TH-camrs shut down just from the word React. Plus senior reacts came first before elders react yet they got copyright strike and it led to their channel being shut down as well. If you tell me this isn't another big corporate move being done by a Big TH-camr then I'd say it's fine for Ellen to Forbes to steal every single idea from Big TH-camrs. People don't care whether they trademarked the word but they are basically ruining others content, had you been a start-up creative youtuber, you'd be pissed.
Especially with where he is now, and with all the channels he has ( game theory, GT live , flim theory, AND A FREAKKIN SHOW ON TH-cam RED) that ending made me cry a little. We love you so much MatPat and theorist fam. All the good things and successes coming your way you DEFINITELY desrve it. 😙😙😙😙
Two years later, he is still right. It's still changing but his videos are even better than ever before! Honestly all the positive feedback I see on mat's new theories is heartwarming and well deserved too!
Quite possibly the most understandable and plausible explanation for the whole Fine Brothers ordeal. Although they hammered the last nail in the coffin by absolutely Insulting the viewer in their followup video, I can see why an established content creator of a particular platform would suddenly get itchy feet with "their" space being Invaded.
The only good out of this ordeal is nobody will ever want to commit another Fine11
+DeanoSauruz I love your videos!!
+Pokemon Stuff thankyou duuuuude :)
+Dan L Thats what happens when you save a video to watch for when you have time to do so away from work and family life
+Dan L Okay hold on, late watching this video? Or are you implying the video I made on the incident was late?
Is it bad I never knew the Fine Bros existed?
Liam Barnes I agree with you 👏🏻👏🏻
No.
CyberDuck no you've been saved the cancerous weird eye idiots
CyberDuck Nope. I didn't know they did either, until this whole React World nonsense went down. I think we were fortunate.
That's not bad...it's a gift!
Little late here, but keep doing what you're doing and I will never leave the channel just as I'm sure most of your subs won't. We subbed for a reason. You put out brilliant content and we love it.
There's no other theorist like you, MatPat 😉
this channel will survive for a long time ,,,, but hey ... that s just a theory
+Richard “The50XBomb” Fukuda THANKS FOR REALIZING
+Richard “The50XBomb” Fukuda thanks for existing

+Richard “The50XBomb” Fukuda

They look like the homeless versions of Rhett and Link.

2 years until 5 years later from this video
Mat pat if u are reading this I've been here since 2k subs and your content has definitely changed for the good ur my favourite u tuber (PS: soon do an episode on destiny 2 pls)
Let's just put it out there:
Mat, we're going to watch you just because you are you and not just because of game theories.
Matter of fact, I'd go as far as to say that with a lot of popular gaming youtubers - it's not even about the content they make. It's about the youtuber him/her/zhe self. (edgy SJW joke, I know)
Take Cr1tikal. Bro Team Pill. Burgerpaul. Robbaz. Hell, even YOU, Mat. All of these channels make a ton of videos that aren't about gaming at all, yet we still love them and watch them, just because we can bask in the warm and glorious comfort of your presence and energy.
So don't lose too much sleep over us. We'll be there to watch your ads anyway
+XFreeStyleZX Man, I'll never stop watching Cr1tical's videos, no matter what terrible game he's currently playing. As well as the other youtubers I enjoy. I just like them too much.
+AJ Brodha
That's pretty much how it works, yea
I support this statement.
+XFreeStyleZX *Birgirpal
+QuangAnh DoBui A fiver if you can pronounce that name right:P
To everyone saying this is late watch the video.
He's talking about the long term fallout of what happened...
Finally!
Yes
well no one talks about that anymore really
to
+Pretty Pretty Voldie cheers, was just a typo.
So many feels omg I love this channel so much and i hope you guys don't ever go anywhere!!!
Your welcome and thank you for taking the time to bring quality videos I'm just one viewer but I love your videos and the content you bring on all your channels.
