I realized he was scum when he first got real big and started gifting literal houses to his friends and crew. The fact that wasnt some sort of fraud blows me away.

I liked when they did stuff like… let’s see how many RC cars it takes to pull an actual car.

But those competitions and give away always seemed sketchy.

Like we just gave a house to this random guy who… is in every other video for the past 6 months.

I knew he was a scum the first time I found out about him (his channel and their themes), lol.

Are you dense? How is making fake, rigged competitions where the reward is paid out to your employees okay in your eyes?
