Hey guys! I hired ReplayedCo to do the editing for this video! lemme know what you think of the newer style! Also additions to information in the video: 1. Leafy most likely got banned on twitch because of his use of "banned words" on stream along with forms of harrasment lead to his ban on twitter as well.
It might be because I am getting older or something but people DDOSing each other in minecraft servers sounds like the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
there are many things on the internet i don't understand. DDOSing is definitely one of them. I can understand wanting to poke fun at someone or some light trolling, but not putting their safety at risk.
@@blackreign673 thay do it lets say you own a server thay dont whant Competition with other ppl so thay pay ppl to ddos or do it them selfs also thay like prank calling adds of cars and stuff and more i thought this was all normal when i was 13 but now that im 20 its relly clear it was law braking at that behavor
I don't like Leafy, however, it's bullshit that he's perma-banned while all dobrik and shane have to do is wait a few months and come back... or, like Jake Paul where all he has to do to get away with his scandals is have a boxing match against someone that's past their prime...
Putting a limit to how many videos one channel can make about another and labeling it harassment is bs. Many youtube drama/news channels often makes videos about certain creator that get into/create trouble often. So a channel at some point cannot make a video about their opinion of X youtuber's latest f up cuz theyve made many videos on them BUT that creator can continue being a f up how many times they want??? So weird, youtube really sucks when it comes to handeling the creators that prove they dont deserve this platform due to major and regular f ups.
Exactly the same people who say leafy harassed pokemane for having to many videos on her. Look at how many videos def noodles and Ethan Klein. This is an arbitrary rule.
@Safwaan TH-cam was perfectly happy leaving his old videos on. Coming back and doing it again didn't sit right. As a website's owner they can do whatever they like, if it just so happens to line their pockets more then so be it. It's a corporation at the end of the day, it's a business, and getting a warning is a privilege. Your boss could just as well fire you without one. I've seen arguments about "freedom of speech," that doesn't exist on the internet. That'd be like walking into my house, talking shit about my wife, and thinking you can get away with it. Site owners decide what the rules are and who stays and who goes. That's all there is to it. Edit: Also the reason he was insta-gibbed is because he violated the community guidelines several times in a row when they got to him. Rather than getting a warning he got all his strikes at once and was banished.
Dobrik, Shane, and Jake weren't raiding other people's channels on a daily basis in an attempt to drive them off the internet. (Aside from jake's failed attempt to cancel CodyKO) That's the difference: Shane might've been a cat fucker; but Leafy was *intentionally turning TH-cam into an uninhabitable wasteland.* Obviously TH-cam's gonna prioritize itself over Shane's cat.
What? TH-cam has gotten progressively worse every year. 2016 was prior to the censorship. You used to be a regular person and if a TH-cam video of yours went viral it would be on the front page. Censorship via algorithm hurts new creators from coming to the forefront which means TH-cam has become TV and is boring now
Now it's much worse. Except people are much more manipulative and shine this appearance of "maturity". Anyone could identify shittiness back then, now most can't. This platform has been on a downspiral since it became a place where you can make money, the genuine content was thrown out and horrible people have taken over. Except in 2016 they could be more open about it. These days it's all cheap tricks that aren't even entertaining to watch. It's difficult to find youtubers these days that are worth watching and aren't e-begging 24/7.
@@Manic_Panic I never said nowadays was better but people idolized Idubbz as he basically inspired a generation to use offensive slurs and Leafy straight up harassed kids and the disabled
I was really into Diablo 2 on pc way back in the day and i used to have very similar thoughts about that community. Like....why would you pay real world money to have all this imaginary stuff in an imaginary world?
Wait til you find out about runescape "staking" lol. Millions of real dollars go through that area of the game and many Venezuelans farm gold in game and convert it to real currency they use to live on and support their families. Crazy
i was in middle school when leafy was at his height, i believe. my little group of bros was OBSESSED with him, along with the likes of h3h3, filthy frank, etc. very interesting to look back on it as an adult.
@@hortator0767 i think we were all cringe back then bro dw. it was better times for me, i miss playing left 4 dead or minecraft and watching leafy with the homies all day instead of working.
Same, middle school days everyone watched Leafy and Idubbz and all them boys. Graduated high school two years ago but i still remember all his beefs he used to have.
Idk maybe he had a thick skin and didn't care? I know some really ugly dudes that roast the living hell out of other ugly people and whenever someone comments on how ugly they are they just go "Yeah and?" It might be hard to believe but there are people who don't care if their ugly and have extremely thick skin to the point that words have no affect on them.
It’s actually wild how smart Leafy was business and tech wise. Dude learned how to code and made money through Minecraft at an early age. Too bad he was basically the edgy genius 4chan nerd.
The idea of a bunch of minecraft server owners getting in a teamspeak to say mean things to eachother while bragging about their lives is one of the most embarrassing things i've ever heard
Wasn't a fan of Leafy but it's hard to argue he wasn't screwed by TH-cam when creators like Mini Ladd, Nicocado and Low Tier God don't just survive, but thrive, on this platform.
Basically idubbbz pointed out leafy's most fatal flaw, and that's is for a guy that roasts people for a living, he sure is insecure when it's about himself
@@themoldycrow4890 It was mostly incels and misogynists who were, *checks notes,* "upset sex workers weren't reporting income to the FBI" who were upset with Idubbbz, and who cares about the opinion of either of them?
@@peppermintgal4302 Reminder Idubbbz has has said the n word multiple times for humor and views, think about that while you're taking the high road peppermint gal lol
I can’t believe I haven’t heard about the mc server owners ddosing each other before, that shit is wild. They were having full on nuclear warfare on a block game for 9 year olds
He was being a creep. He shoved a camera in their faces and kept preaching about kindness and other platitudes for like 5 minutes when he coulda just told her she forgot her eggs on top of her car and then used the fact he had autism to sway the situation to his favor by somehow claiming Leafy was bullying him for being autistic.
@Slave Leia’s Boobs he's not, a lot of allistics just have a weird obsession with inserting double meaning into things autistic people say despite literal speech being a very well known autistic behavior
@@e_puffin I don't get why some people are upset by that. The Hiss raids sound pretty harmless but fun, no one was being hurt and if anything it helped some people to grow a bit.
Mannn it’s so sad seeing that guy with the hat crying , I have a brother with severe autism and I know how kind and amazing people that have autism can be , so kind , so thoughtful, so caring I would donate a kidney just so I can see my brother talk like that guy, hope the kindness in you never stops!!

@@100pancake6 nobody fucking sent him death threats and it certainly wasn't millions harassing him. Get over yourself. God I fucking hate how whiny internet people are when a buncha teens tell you to "kys" they take that and run with it and twist it into being a "death threat" somehow when it's not even close. He got no death threats.
@@joey_youtube You are telling me leafy's fanbase, middle to high school kids who thought that bullying people based on appearance was funny, wouldn't send death threats? People literally get death threats for having different opinions on video games, but you think a guy who was made fun of for being autistic wouldn't get death threats? It's one thing if leafy had fans who did just spam kys and hiss, but it's the internet. Everyone gets death threats, and considering leafy has millions of fans, yes it was most likely millions of people telling him how they would literally kill him. If me suggesting something that happens to everyone who has an online presence is whiny, then yah I am whiny.
@@100pancake6 Yes, you are extremely whiny because seemingly everyone online in the past 6 years has made it a trend to go on and claim they're getting death threats any time the spotlight is on them for doing or saying literally anything. No one can take it seriously anymore and it's not the fault of any of these "middle to high-schoolers" for spamming retarded meaningless internet-y remarks at someone that you wanna go on and sympathy-pull and/or cry online after acting like a bad person or just a complete brainlet. Sure, some people do end up getting death threats but my point is it's so much less than everyone online makes it out to be especially with how often people have directly gone ahead and said that the "kys" and "i hope u die" type comments themselves are somehow "death T H R E A T S". In short: It's extremely immature and nauseatingly whiny. Not to say the kys type comments aren't immature- but at least they're dumb-fun.

@@unhandydaddy5117 I legit vividly remember them looking uncomfortable and barely responding to anything he says. How would you feel if an obese stuttering mumbling man in a full suit and fedora ran up to you with a camera in your face lecturing you and the camera about kindergarten tier ethics??
@@joey_youtube I'd say I would react exactly how those 2 women reacted. I'd be awkward in front of a camera but still thankful and nice to someone who's obviously not all there. I'm not saying you cannot joke around and make fun of the awkwardness but I think there's better ways to make fun of something or someone without delving into their physical appearance or mental state.
@@joey_youtube he didn’t understand what he did was creepy though . he was autistic and so things like social situations were different for him . he filmed after asking because he wanted to preach kindness and encourage good acts he seems very kind to me and i have low tolerance for creeps
any chin he mightve had represented all possible dignity and respect he had or deserved, too bad he looked like the emo kid from fucking horton hears a hoo
I hate how his "Final Form" got banned when all he was did was comment on dumb TH-cam drama and give tips on how to play the algorithm...and the stock market (not joking)
Bruh. Did we watch the same TH-cam channel? Sure a few of his videos are what you mentioned, but a lot of the shit he said, and did would have easily been considered harassment in the grand scheme of things. Sure if we were to ignore the context behind those videos I'd agree with you, but If you don't think think it's harassment I'm going to have to say you're a internet boomer in the same vein as keemstar. lmfao.
This is why I DO NOT miss this era of TH-cam. 2015-2017 was this trend of Cringe culture and all it was is literal bullying of disabled people or people that were comfortable being themselves. And somehow that’s seen as weird. Cringe culture is already returning but on Tiktok now. And it’s sad.
@@nolosses814 that's not how it works. It's not the responsibility of disabled people to accept abuse, it's the responsibility of EVERYONE to not abuse people.
@Viseversa I've seen and counted 16 on this single video just by browsing for less than 3 minutes. I'm quite aware they don't display them all in one page. lmbeciIe LOL.
How can TH-cam ever justify removing Leafy but leaving up Keemstar's channel? Leafy was a bully but Keemstar is an entire oppressive regime of every horrible and offensive opinion you can take.
Its good that theyre both gone but ive said this all along with these youtubers who look for reactions. Ignore them, don't talk about them or talk too them and believe me they will stop. The saying don't feed the trolls always rings true.
I still remember finding Leafy's channel when he was fairly small and a few weeks later being very surprised that he reached a million. How the time flies.
Saaaame. Fuck I still remember coming across him when I was 13 and he only had somewhere around 700k. Then throughout 2016 he just made milestone video after milestone video.
I remember comimg across Leafy around like Summer of 2015 when he was still fairly small and MLG, dank memes, McJuggerNuggets, edgy content, Vine Compilations were popular. I miss yet feel embarrassed knowing those years existed.
Leafy is one of the very few YTer’s that I sincerely believe deserved to be perma-banned even before becoming “cancelable”. Such a hypocrite for being such a judgmental person for being so flawed.
@Viseversa He doesn't need to be, only a slight weakness is necessary to make fun of someone, especially when the person made fun of bullied people with similar weaknesses
We can laugh at Leafy all we want, but the guy was really business smart and earned a lot of money via Minecraft and TH-cam... And he never had to leave his room for that lol
And he's one of the few TH-camrs who actually used the money they gained from youtube to invest in things and slowly grow his wealth. Say whatever you want, but for someone so young he made a lot of choices not even adults bother to do.
It meant that because he found success, it pretty much stunted any growth in his maturity. Who is going to mature if they find success being a man child, or man teen in this case.
He has. Channel was banned as well. Currently Keemstar owns his own channel since he was able to prove that he was only banned because his accounts were falsely flagged and reported. So Keemstar getting banned to begin with was unjustified at that time
he did try that this video doesn't cover everything. after the ban he made another youtube channel called "Weafy" using the keemstar strategy and made some videos but it got shut down too.
@@cady__ I don't remember if it was mentioned in the video, but likely its another case of someone with a vendetta or personal hate against Leafy who has connections to TH-cam or the CEO Susan Wojicdkagrgki.
i am and forever will be ashamed for being a leafy fan as a teen, that was the bottom of the barrel content and idk why i was so enraptured by it. i did not partake in any bullying but damn if i were my parent and saw myself watching this i'd still take my phone away
I won't lie, I used to like watching Leafy's vids, but not because I cared about him. I liked seeing the weird things random people did and I end up checking them out sometimes. Hell, I still jam to the cringey Psycho Girl Minecraft music, and it's all cause I found it from Leafy. 🤣
I wasn’t a fan but some of the videos where funny regardless. humans think roasting someone is funny unless it is themselves. And leafy himself was kind off this kid some of us could relate to a bit. It was cool to have witnessed that era of TH-cam where you still could say anything. And the algo ritme wasn’t fixed. And you still could dislike a video lol. 2016 was a special area with leafy at the rise and downfall. YT drama was at a all time high. And how ironic how Idubbez found leafy s weak spot by showing he was insecure himself. With is almost always the case with bullies. This was the start of Leafys decline cause that aura of the invisible bully got lost. But of course the new YT rules broke him up completely. But everybody nows that era was one of the best entertainment wise. And thats the truth about this whole thing.
I only watched a couple of his videos when I was like 11. Now I feel bad for laughing at the people in them. God, I'm so glad I never watched more than that. Such horrible videos.
@@theresurrectionmen8707 I really hope you're not saying "well it was entertaining so it's okay".I doubt that fr but if you are then I hope you're not someone who gets lost in their vices. Entertainment can be a dangerous thing and we should be careful of it.
Your narration reminds me a lot of JCS, and the editing is starkly different. I super enjoy this video a ton and it is officially my introduction to marrathonning your content.
His content was for edgy teens and losers. His audience grew up and realized that he was basically just bullying people and everyone else that used to do that have moved on to different content which is how they’re successful whereas Leafy still thought it was 2016
You can even find those sad fucks in this comment section defending "dark comedy" or whatever. Leafy wasn't joking when he was insulting people. There were jokes in between the insults but he still made it clear that he actually dislikes those people
totally!! i used to be quite a h3 fan from 2015-16 however when vape nation hit i just dialed down watching as i saw the userbase changing and the content and comments just aint hit anymore. id love to see a deep-dive on how/what changed and if vape naysh was a decline in interest for anyone else but that one personal interest lol. and also how the podcast content changed the userbase would be neat idk theres a lot to talk about i think
We all gotta remember his return from 2020 was literally cuz he was bored, he’s doing ok on his investments from previous earnings and yeah TH-cam screwed him over but hey in a few years people will forget (as they believe)
The TH-cam ban was so weird. I guess they must've just heard all the commotion and clicked the button without even checking his videos. Dude would title a video "POKIMANE EXPOSED" and then talk about what an ETF is
@@metalheadretrogamer5330 Billy The Fridge is a guy leafy made a video on. He is an obese white dude that made cringe-esk raps, and after the video Leafy dropped, Billy dropped a video of his own. A bomb ass beat with some sick ass lyrics. I still get chills to this day at how great it was. Leafy and Billy eventually ended up DMing eachother and became friends; Billy even starred in a few vlogs on Leafys channel. They met up a few times I believe and possibly had sexual relations. Don't quote on that last part though. Nice name by the way. Jinjer and Cane Hill are my current favorite metal bands at the moment.
The fact you take the order of apologies as which is a priority is what speaks volume to me. Me personally, I prefer to apologize to the many before the few or the one I offended. Why ? Because they are the main act, they go on the "stage" last because they are the most noteworthy to talk about and people previously don't matter as much as the few or one I offended. Take that into consideration before making judgement on someone else just because of the order they apologize on.
Same. I was subscribed to him and was a fan. After the IDubbbz video I watched less Leafy because I started noticing how repetitive his content was. But, Leafy's ban symbolizes hot strict TH-cam's terms of service has gotten and downhill the internet has gone. I still remember TH-cam having the 'Broadcast Yourself' slogan. Now it's 'Censor Yourself'
hes a internet troll, i still think hes funny to be completely honest i think people NOW are cringe, wannabe "alt" kids that think abt fucking anime characters and harry potter jesus christ that is a shithole
Pre 2012 TH-cam was worse/better. But everyone from that era is long gone. Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the only ones left (been here since 05 and made my account in 08).
Man I gotta say, watching the worst, most toxic parts of TH-cam (iDubbz, H3, Keemstar, & Leefy) cannibalize itself was the most wonderful thing to watch live. Actually makes me believe in karma lmao
@@zawarudo1041 He voiced himself and an opinion rather than silencing himself because somebody got offended. He makes good points in several of his videos too so. And wym? He’s about the same as he’s always been
@@zawarudo1041he changed and chilled out, where as everyone else just stayed stuck in their ways. The talk show he’s doing is dope and he did creator clash. People can change
I remember going back on his channel to his older videos. He sounded like he was having so much fun and really appreciated his subscribers. Then I clicked on a recent video and all of that enthusiasm was just gone. Sounded completely dead inside
@@GreyZuma true :[ i just hope everyone that was affected by all the harassment online is doing okay, i also hope that most of us aren't assholes anymore lmfaoo
I never liked Leafy and didn't watch him or keep up, so this is certainly helpful! Tommy was pretty heartbreaking, my ex step brother is very autistic, and I have a friend who has high sensory autism (and is legally blind with crippling knee problems) and both of them are a bit socially awkward. My friend is easily one of the sweetest people I know, she's a major hype woman, though a bit shy. It's not their fault (although their upbringing can make it way worse or way better)
i always thought the controversy with idubbbz and his gf was dumb. he only addressed it bc it blew up so bad and it's really nobody's business ultimately. good video though!! i hope to see more soon
@@mew11two wait what?? that's the first time i heard of that. but it isn't surprising considering how idubbbz is. guess some people really are soulmates
not a fan of ian anymore, or his gf, but leafy really acted like a whole incel when he made those videos about them. the same dudes who talk shit about women who make onlyfans accounts are the same ones who jack off to them
1:46 He actually was warned multiple times, but he ignored the warnings. He even said he didn't care if he got banned and continued to not listen. I was a fan of Leafy all the years he was gone, but when he came back he was different. He didn't care anymore about being banned, and targeted Pokimane over the course of like 8 videos.
I had no opinion of him pre-comeback, but jesus fuck those Poki videos were some of the most cringe shit I've ever seen. You can poke holes in Poki kind of easily. She's not perfect, and while I don't think a whole ass video is necessary in the first place, fuck it you do you. Bring up her past, her present, her actions, her mistakes, lay it all out. But this man really made the most 15 year old keyboard warrior video I think I've seen since 2012. Out of the 20 or so points he made, maybe two of them stuck, and the rest were literally "she's ugly" and "yeah she's stupid" and "yeah anyone who likes her is a retard" and that was it. Like fuck man, he didn't even attempt to be funny. If he threw some hard hitting jokes I would have at least respected the attempt, but no, it was the most flaccid thing I've seen on the internet, as if someone took 2012, fed it through an AI program and out came those steaming piles he called videos. I'm happy he's gone in general because of the other genuinely terrible things he's done, but honestly? I'm more happy he's gone simply based off of how bad those videos were. It was the most ratchet attempt at a Content Cop I've seen.
Those 8 videos he made on Pokimane was him talking about the stock market and he only criticized her hypocrisy and mentioned her in 2 videos. How is that harassment?
@Safwaan No idea.. never got really active on Storyfire myself after finding out that you have to "APPLY" for permission to upload videos (and get approved)... Just saw he had a channel there resently.
@Safwaan Guess it's a way of only getting the people over that already have a following and bigger chance of the videos getting views but yes i totally agree.. not very welcoming for smaller channels.
@Safwaan Yes i guess soo but haha i just checked out McJuggerNuggets' channels on both youtube and SF and guess SF isn't doin at great as he would like as theres plenty of new videos on youtube but they are not on SF... storyfire.com/
I think he deserved to get perma banned. He literally said that "He will keep breaking guidelines until he gets banned.". He knew what he was doing. He acts like a kid who slowly pushes a toy car along the side of the table and when it eventually reaches the edge and falls off he acts like he doesnt know what happened. Though I do think its bs that people like Jake Paul or other channels who do even worse stuff to stay at the platform.
We're not saying he didn't break the rules because he did, were saying the rules are shit and need to be changed, also yt should have given him the strikes as the videos came out individually not all 3 at once. The strike system is there to give youtubers chances before they get deleted, the way yt did it was really unfair.
Does it not anger anyone else that TH-cam is basically invincible and can do whatever it wants without being challenged? I wish there was a better video site honestly.
I get why content creators were concerned when Leafy got instant banned but he basically made a youtube career out of attacking people and having cancerous fans. It's not like his content was new or interesting it was fairly predictable find something cringe or trending then attack. Someone fights back better because now he increased his viewer base. Maybe it's because I'm use to it but it's just clickbait. He clearly can't make content therefore he attacks others for content.
I don't mind him being perma-banned, but I think the problem is that people with good content could get the same treatment for stupid reasons like using "copyrighted" content.
Kinda annoys me how people think that leafy left because of Idubbbz when Leafy was still making content a year and a half after the content cop, and still gaining millions of views monthly. He definitely just burned out from posting daily
Damn, this makes me glad I never bothered to checkin on all the Leafy stuff when shit really hit the fan. Because I knew that someday Joon would make a balln video covering it all!
2016 TH-cam was a strange time. Even when I went through a phase of watching a lot of commentary TH-camrs like Pyrocynical, I still never liked Leafy. He just seemed like a bully.
@@Jane-ow7sr it’s not the first time he’s seen Ethan, it’s just such a dumbass move because he could not come up with anything more intelligent and had to resort to being an idiot.
I can't believe TH-cam banned someone who bullied, and encouraged his followers to bully, people with disabilities and small channels, and used his own fans as a weapon. It AMAZES me that TH-cam banned someone who showed no signs of changing and who probably had marks against his channel from his past, then went right back to making the same content. SUPER WEIRD that a dumpster-fire of a person was removed from this platform.
also something to note is that mrblackdarkness was a well known satirical account and part of the drama at the time was people making fun of leafy for not realizing he was satire
"The two year break had improved his content." *shows Leafy monotonally calling someone a cuck and then fat with literally no content or joke attached*
Lmao unpopular opinion but he DID not deserve a platform, and im glad he got perma-banned, he knowingly bullied EXTREMELY vulnerable people, and thats super shitty.
Always looked forward to seeing your documentaries. I really would love to know your take on Arielle Scarcella, Blair White or Kalvin Garrah. All three subjects could be amazing subjects for documentaries on their own. Look forward to seeing your take on these creators. 😄
Ngl, the worst part of the drama with him coming back is he was just as boring as ever. The whole idubbbz gf onlyfans thing only mattered if you were a literal child. Poki clickbait is just weak. Nothing of value lost. But this was a good summary of it all, good job on the video. I'd forgotten a lot of the early shit
I think the most messed up part of all of this is that everyone shit talks people like leafy(or like maximilianmus) who clearly aren't the greatest of people, but absolutely no criticism goes to their fanbase. The main reason shit like this happens is because people consume content like this.
@@YKZA702 i mean how much influence can he be responsible for with grown ass adults? There are literal adults who watched his content regularly, enabling him. He was hardly even an adult if I recall correctly(still pretty much a kid just trying to make money and be entertaining to a crowd)
I have been watching your videos back to back and even after watching your Keemstar video, I can’t help but feel Leafy is the most disappointing creator I’ve learned of so far. I generally don’t hold content creators very high, but this KID was beyond toxic, even after reinventing his content after the hiatus. Where others like Keem changed or abandoned their channels in response to the platform, Leafy changed because he felt like it, so his content would never be good enough in the TH-cam gods’ eyes. I’m delighted by how fair you seem to be about all these internet personalities, thank you for the quality documentation. I’ve been doing my own thing “under a rock” for about a decade now, and it’s nice to be able to witness more or less what other people experienced on TH-cam. Now I can have more stuff to talk about with people around my age 😅😅
Hey guys! I hired ReplayedCo to do the editing for this video! lemme know what you think of the newer style!
Also additions to information in the video:
1. Leafy most likely got banned on twitch because of his use of "banned words" on stream along with forms of harrasment lead to his ban on twitter as well.

Coming back and doing it again didn't sit right.
As a website's owner they can do whatever they like, if it just so happens to line their pockets more then so be it.
It's a corporation at the end of the day, it's a business, and getting a warning is a privilege. Your boss could just as well fire you without one.
I've seen arguments about "freedom of speech," that doesn't exist on the internet.
That'd be like walking into my house, talking shit about my wife, and thinking you can get away with it.

Edit: Also the reason he was insta-gibbed is because he violated the community guidelines several times in a row when they got to him.
Rather than getting a warning he got all his strikes at once and was banished.
leafy should be perma banned, but so should every other person you mentioned, yes
Dobrik, Shane, and Jake weren't raiding other people's channels on a daily basis in an attempt to drive them off the internet. (Aside from jake's failed attempt to cancel CodyKO)
That's the difference: Shane might've been a cat fucker; but Leafy was *intentionally turning TH-cam into an uninhabitable wasteland.*
Obviously TH-cam's gonna prioritize itself over Shane's cat.
i always found it funny that leafy would call people "kids" as an insult when he always looked and sounded like a middle schooler
Honestly the older I get the more I realized how shitty everyone in that 2016 era of youtube was
People are more shitty now..
What? TH-cam has gotten progressively worse every year. 2016 was prior to the censorship. You used to be a regular person and if a TH-cam video of yours went viral it would be on the front page. Censorship via algorithm hurts new creators from coming to the forefront which means TH-cam has become TV and is boring now
@@Willowtree82 I distinctively remember that TH-cam already tried to screw over small creators and please advertiser even back then.
Now it's much worse. Except people are much more manipulative and shine this appearance of "maturity". Anyone could identify shittiness back then, now most can't.
This platform has been on a downspiral since it became a place where you can make money, the genuine content was thrown out and horrible people have taken over. Except in 2016 they could be more open about it. These days it's all cheap tricks that aren't even entertaining to watch. It's difficult to find youtubers these days that are worth watching and aren't e-begging 24/7.

Sure, some people do end up getting death threats but my point is it's so much less than everyone online makes it out to be especially with how often people have directly gone ahead and said that the "kys" and "i hope u die" type comments themselves are somehow "death T H R E A T S". In short: It's extremely immature and nauseatingly whiny. Not to say the kys type comments aren't immature- but at least they're dumb-fun.

Why doesn't Leafy just pull a Keemstar and run a channel "owned by someone else".
He has. Channel was banned as well. Currently Keemstar owns his own channel since he was able to prove that he was only banned because his accounts were falsely flagged and reported. So Keemstar getting banned to begin with was unjustified at that time
he did try that this video doesn't cover everything. after the ban he made another youtube channel called "Weafy" using the keemstar strategy and made some videos but it got shut down too.

I won't lie, I used to like watching Leafy's vids, but not because I cared about him. I liked seeing the weird things random people did and I end up checking them out sometimes. Hell, I still jam to the cringey Psycho Girl Minecraft music, and it's all cause I found it from Leafy. 🤣
I wasn’t a fan but some of the videos where funny regardless. humans think roasting someone is funny unless it is themselves. And leafy himself was kind off this kid some of us could relate to a bit. It was cool to have witnessed that era of TH-cam where you still could say anything. And the algo ritme wasn’t fixed. And you still could dislike a video lol. 2016 was a special area with leafy at the rise and downfall. YT drama was at a all time high. And how ironic how Idubbez found leafy s weak spot by showing he was insecure himself. With is almost always the case with bullies. This was the start of Leafys decline cause that aura of the invisible bully got lost. But of course the new YT rules broke him up completely.

The fact that Leafy apologized to Tommy last and people "who were offended" first speaks volumes about his priorities
The fact you take the order of apologies as which is a priority is what speaks volume to me. Me personally, I prefer to apologize to the many before the few or the one I offended. Why ? Because they are the main act, they go on the "stage" last because they are the most noteworthy to talk about and people previously don't matter as much as the few or one I offended. Take that into consideration before making judgement on someone else just because of the order they apologize on.
The curse that MrBlackDarkness666 put on him was real and I know it was apart of leafys downfall as well

Legend has it Leafy was trying to develop a Java class to enhance his chin but in his case it just too too much memory.
people actually thought this was funny...

Not a big loss. I completely forgot about this man.
I loved Leafy during his reappearance. TH-cam has became so censorous that seeing him return to mock the golden boys was really funny.
Me too. I never knew who LeafyIsHere until last year with the Pokimane drama or something like that
Leafy is not really some one who everyone deserves to know.
@The Big Kiwi nah leafy is a shit example of good youtube.
@The Big Kiwi lmao nah
When I saw this was uploaded, I went and bought myself a few beer and had dinner. These videos are events to be enjoyed.

Welcome back Joon! LTG aint nothin
Not the swats
You said "LTG ain't nothing" ... Mods you know what to do.
LTG is alright in my opinion.
@@defineroyalty Ah NVM. See you're just a troll. Your comment history is crying at everyone being hated on lmao.
@@RavanaMuse Nah, I just think that LTG is alright.
why did we ever think it was "trendy and cool" to literally harass children online lmfao
Ricegum and leafy were the pioneers of harassing minors online
We were young and stupid, it happens.
@@RaanaGolzar yeah lmfao they sucked
@@GreyZuma true :[ i just hope everyone that was affected by all the harassment online is doing okay, i also hope that most of us aren't assholes anymore lmfaoo
@@cheuriibee it’s good that everyone is maturing hopefully in the future we don’t let people like them have and build up careers on the platform
I never liked Leafy and didn't watch him or keep up, so this is certainly helpful!
Tommy was pretty heartbreaking, my ex step brother is very autistic, and I have a friend who has high sensory autism (and is legally blind with crippling knee problems) and both of them are a bit socially awkward. My friend is easily one of the sweetest people I know, she's a major hype woman, though a bit shy. It's not their fault (although their upbringing can make it way worse or way better)
i always thought the controversy with idubbbz and his gf was dumb. he only addressed it bc it blew up so bad and it's really nobody's business ultimately. good video though!! i hope to see more soon
I still think it's crazy how people were mad she made an Only Fans and not because she essentially said the Holocaust was good
@@mew11two wait what?? that's the first time i heard of that. but it isn't surprising considering how idubbbz is. guess some people really are soulmates
If ian made an only fans a large portion of his “straight” male audience would subscribe to it.
not a fan of ian anymore, or his gf, but leafy really acted like a whole incel when he made those videos about them. the same dudes who talk shit about women who make onlyfans accounts are the same ones who jack off to them
@@mew11two source? Can't make an accusation like that without a source.
1:46 He actually was warned multiple times, but he ignored the warnings. He even said he didn't care if he got banned and continued to not listen. I was a fan of Leafy all the years he was gone, but when he came back he was different. He didn't care anymore about being banned, and targeted Pokimane over the course of like 8 videos.
I had no opinion of him pre-comeback, but jesus fuck those Poki videos were some of the most cringe shit I've ever seen.
You can poke holes in Poki kind of easily. She's not perfect, and while I don't think a whole ass video is necessary in the first place, fuck it you do you. Bring up her past, her present, her actions, her mistakes, lay it all out.
But this man really made the most 15 year old keyboard warrior video I think I've seen since 2012. Out of the 20 or so points he made, maybe two of them stuck, and the rest were literally "she's ugly" and "yeah she's stupid" and "yeah anyone who likes her is a retard" and that was it. Like fuck man, he didn't even attempt to be funny. If he threw some hard hitting jokes I would have at least respected the attempt, but no, it was the most flaccid thing I've seen on the internet, as if someone took 2012, fed it through an AI program and out came those steaming piles he called videos.
I'm happy he's gone in general because of the other genuinely terrible things he's done, but honestly? I'm more happy he's gone simply based off of how bad those videos were. It was the most ratchet attempt at a Content Cop I've seen.
half of them were clickbait, the tile and thumbnail were poki but the actual videos was about stocks and other stuff
@@titanscar2183 if you payed attention, he was actually making useful videos about the stock market and used her as clickbait
Those 8 videos he made on Pokimane was him talking about the stock market and he only criticized her hypocrisy and mentioned her in 2 videos. How is that harassment?
@@RealNick04apparently mentioning her in the thumbnail is also considered harassment
While not having been active for about 6 months or so, he's still on Storyfire too.
@Safwaan A TH-cam wannabe started by McJuggerNuggets a few years back...
@Safwaan No idea.. never got really active on Storyfire myself after finding out that you have to "APPLY" for permission to upload videos (and get approved)... Just saw he had a channel there resently.
@Safwaan Guess it's a way of only getting the people over that already have a following and bigger chance of the videos getting views but yes i totally agree.. not very welcoming for smaller channels.
@Safwaan Yes i guess soo but haha i just checked out McJuggerNuggets' channels on both youtube and SF and guess SF isn't doin at great as he would like as theres plenty of new videos on youtube but they are not on SF... storyfire.com/
Isn't storyfire shut down?
I think he deserved to get perma banned. He literally said that "He will keep breaking guidelines until he gets banned.". He knew what he was doing. He acts like a kid who slowly pushes a toy car along the side of the table and when it eventually reaches the edge and falls off he acts like he doesnt know what happened. Though I do think its bs that people like Jake Paul or other channels who do even worse stuff to stay at the platform.
We're not saying he didn't break the rules because he did, were saying the rules are shit and need to be changed, also yt should have given him the strikes as the videos came out individually not all 3 at once. The strike system is there to give youtubers chances before they get deleted, the way yt did it was really unfair.
TH-cam's rules are tyrannical
Leafy is a TH-cam legend and still has many fans. Like it or not if he uploads I and many people will watch
@@s.k5531 not on youtube or twitch, thats for sure lmao
@@areallymeanperson no shit
Does it not anger anyone else that TH-cam is basically invincible and can do whatever it wants without being challenged? I wish there was a better video site honestly.
Storyfire was touted as that, but who knows if it'll be able to secure funding after the year's up.
@@SirBlackReeds story fire is horrible in comparison because of its UI.
Private company..
The hub is great just saying
@@SirBlackReeds didn't Jesse shutdown storyfire?
"In his speedo, because according to him-"
"W h a t ."
Oh my god I finally know what the hissing and reptile emojis were about. They were all over Twitch and TH-cam one particular week.
I get why content creators were concerned when Leafy got instant banned but he basically made a youtube career out of attacking people and having cancerous fans. It's not like his content was new or interesting it was fairly predictable find something cringe or trending then attack. Someone fights back better because now he increased his viewer base. Maybe it's because I'm use to it but it's just clickbait. He clearly can't make content therefore he attacks others for content.
I don't mind him being perma-banned, but I think the problem is that people with good content could get the same treatment for stupid reasons like using "copyrighted" content.
I never realized how much of bad person Leafy was. Oh well… I think we're better off moving on and never thinking about him ever again.
Agreed
Joon’s videos are a natural treasure. Big fan of this historical content.
Kinda annoys me how people think that leafy left because of Idubbbz when Leafy was still making content a year and a half after the content cop, and still gaining millions of views monthly. He definitely just burned out from posting daily
Wasn't he terminated from youtube?
@@justsomeguywithaquestionab3175 yeah
@@justsomeguywithaquestionab3175 This was after he came back
he just sucked
He left because his content was losing steam and he was getting demonetized. The idubbbz drama wasn't helping either.
I never liked Leafy. Dude was a whole clown. I don't care how "smart" he was. A terrible person.
All that talent wasted on a manchild lmao
Leafy probably had a rough childhood because he’s a huge bully.
I think he's just a weasel.
apparently his parents were drug addicts
Just because someone’s a bully it dosent instantly mean a rough childhood, on top of that your just soft if you call this bullying 🤣
@@imtoxiq_ really? he was picking on people for being themselves and special needs people. that's bullying to me
@@NPGLAMB Whyre you acting like your a saint?? grow skin.
I liked watching leafys videos to watch the CSGO footage. Was weirdly hypnotic
Damn, this makes me glad I never bothered to checkin on all the Leafy stuff when shit really hit the fan. Because I knew that someday Joon would make a balln video covering it all!
And because of that, You got a one- sided view.
@@RamonesFan201 * Comment implying that some people do not log onto TH-cam to consume all the drama that gets posted everyday *
2016 TH-cam was a strange time.
Even when I went through a phase of watching a lot of commentary TH-camrs like Pyrocynical, I still never liked Leafy. He just seemed like a bully.
The fact that the way he first insulted Ethan was calling him fat right of the bat really shows how crappy of a person he is.
How? If it's the first thing ya see when looking at something then...well..they fat af
@@Jane-ow7sr it’s not the first time he’s seen Ethan, it’s just such a dumbass move because he could not come up with anything more intelligent and had to resort to being an idiot.
@@gunnar_gunnar_176 it's not like anyone in 2016 were smart tbh.
@@Misa-d7x nope. I don't have any social media. It's a waste of time
@@Jane-ow7sr you literally used social media to make that comment
Digging the Runescape font on these videos
He’s an RS TH-camr turned TH-cam chronicler
I can't believe TH-cam banned someone who bullied, and encouraged his followers to bully, people with disabilities and small channels, and used his own fans as a weapon. It AMAZES me that TH-cam banned someone who showed no signs of changing and who probably had marks against his channel from his past, then went right back to making the same content. SUPER WEIRD that a dumpster-fire of a person was removed from this platform.
shoulda been perma banned in 2016 lol
Wow people are getting soft
Wow yeah I agree
Really a shocker.
also something to note is that mrblackdarkness was a well known satirical account and part of the drama at the time was people making fun of leafy for not realizing he was satire
Here I thought I knew this story page to page, and Joon shows up with this epic saga of Minecraft Server Wars that I didn't even have a concept of.
"The two year break had improved his content."
*shows Leafy monotonally calling someone a cuck and then fat with literally no content or joke attached*
Improved his veiw counts.
I keep the memory of Leafy's online legacy alive by still referring to weak chin deformities as "Leafy chins"
Lmao unpopular opinion but he DID not deserve a platform, and im glad he got perma-banned, he knowingly bullied EXTREMELY vulnerable people, and thats super shitty.
Eh it was funny to watch so meh
@@Bloodfangmh Doesn’t make a difference.
@@dylan8389 eh still funny
They weren't that vulnerable
Kontent Cop took the phrase "Let me end this man's career" quite literally
Always looked forward to seeing your documentaries. I really would love to know your take on Arielle Scarcella, Blair White or Kalvin Garrah. All three subjects could be amazing subjects for documentaries on their own. Look forward to seeing your take on these creators. 😄
Ngl, the worst part of the drama with him coming back is he was just as boring as ever. The whole idubbbz gf onlyfans thing only mattered if you were a literal child. Poki clickbait is just weak. Nothing of value lost.
But this was a good summary of it all, good job on the video. I'd forgotten a lot of the early shit
Tbf idubbbz only mattered if you were a literal child, period.
i mean better than most of the stuff here nowadays tbh
@@asmrtpop2676 yeah you're not wrong
I think the most messed up part of all of this is that everyone shit talks people like leafy(or like maximilianmus) who clearly aren't the greatest of people, but absolutely no criticism goes to their fanbase. The main reason shit like this happens is because people consume content like this.
some does but nowhere near enough.
@Captain Zorc leafy made a career of harassing other people, so I cant say I feel very bad for him
He didnt try to stop them tho that what is worse dude. You have influence and you use it negatively.
@@YKZA702 i mean how much influence can he be responsible for with grown ass adults? There are literal adults who watched his content regularly, enabling him. He was hardly even an adult if I recall correctly(still pretty much a kid just trying to make money and be entertaining to a crowd)
Yeah,but leaders inspire the flock,not the other way around.
Now that's good, high-quality commentary. Welcome back, king.
I'm still convinced that he went undercover as DailyDoseOfInternet😂
istg
I forgot that he exist. Well it wouldn't be much a difference if i remember him existing.
I have been watching your videos back to back and even after watching your Keemstar video, I can’t help but feel Leafy is the most disappointing creator I’ve learned of so far. I generally don’t hold content creators very high, but this KID was beyond toxic, even after reinventing his content after the hiatus. Where others like Keem changed or abandoned their channels in response to the platform, Leafy changed because he felt like it, so his content would never be good enough in the TH-cam gods’ eyes.
I’m delighted by how fair you seem to be about all these internet personalities, thank you for the quality documentation. I’ve been doing my own thing “under a rock” for about a decade now, and it’s nice to be able to witness more or less what other people experienced on TH-cam. Now I can have more stuff to talk about with people around my age 😅😅
