      The SssniperWolf is the biggest ‘reaction’ channel on YouTube. I.e. steal other people’s videos, giving no credit, and not being transformative. You see a ton of these, and every last one is 100% worthless. She constantly goes for the 8 minute marker so she can run more ads. It’s all stolen content, nothing given back to the real creators.

      Jack, had been making videos about this, calling out SssniperWolf specifically (the biggest offender currently). Helping people get their videos removed from hers. He’s done this for years, SssniperWolf is just the latest. Example, many years ago the big offender (though one could argue actually had some effort put in…) =3 with RayWilliamJohnson.

      So, this week, SssniperWolf decided to track down where Jack lives, then made a video post showing his address, doxxing him and his wife. Now she’s playing ignorant and innocent, pretending she doesn’t even know what doxxing is. Doxxing has in the past led to swatting which has led to people dying.

        Yeah IMO this is more than youtube drama, this is someone threatening Jack and his wife by showing her fans where he lives

          I am curious if the platform is going to take action. I certainly don’t support SSSniperwolf or her channel, nor do I find Jacksfilms all that entertaining, but no one deserves to have their info squirted out to 50 million people. A certain small percentage of which will be simps for SW, and a percentage of those willing to take “revenge” on Jack to try and impress her.

          Parasocial relationships are a bitch.

      His point was that YouTube should not provide her a platform, whether he pursues legal action or not is separate from YouTube giving her a platform. I imagine that if he is planning to pursue legal action, he won’t be publicly talking about that for some time.

              There’s a couple. For one, they specifically promoted her on Twitter even though she’d been monetizing the work of other people without their knowledge or consent, and her use of their videos are practically never transformative enough to fall under fair use. It may have been a while ago, but a company with very aggressive copyright practices promoting a content thief doesn’t look great.

              She escalated an issue she’s having on YouTube by allegedly engaging in offline harassment and doxxing his home address to millions of her followers on Instagram. YouTube is inextricably linked to this because her videos, and his videos criticizing them, are hosted by YouTube, and YouTube is earning ad revenue from all of that. She may have used Instagram to perform the alleged harassment, but people tend to follow online personalities on multiple social media sites, so there’s definitely audience crossover.

              Her audience trends young, and she’s had at least one or two videos taken down for violating community guidelines involving bullying, iirc. At the moment, there are rumors that a video of her on Omegle doing blatantly illegal shit has been reported to the FBI, and that the video had been up on her YouTube channel for nine years, though the video has since been deleted.

              He’s not calling for YouTube to act just on the offline harassment, but the full collection of provable bad behaviors on the site on top of the potential harm he and his family could face as a result of her present illegal actions and access to a platform with a lot of reach.

          Why is that? If she has proven to act irresponsibly on the internet and is empowered by her cloud than all platforms should take a stance. Especially YouTube because that’s her main site. It’s not like her being a dick only happens or will only happen on Instagram.

      Unless she trespassed there’s nothing illegal. I don’t think she shared a specific address. It IS (was?) against the YT TOS but they only care about what makes returns for Google’s shareholders.

      This goes well beyond mere YouTube drama, I think. This is getting into the relam of actual criminal behaviour.

      Daily reminder that calling out immoral behavior from a content thief isn’t “drama”, and minimizing it is what you’d do if you’re either a moron or stand to gain something from it.

        What the hell is wrong with that commenter and people upvoting that shit. Seriously, she crossed the line and she’s playing dumb. I think he’ll end up taking her to court.

      She also doxxed him. Not only that, she already has a criminal record for aggravated assault, plus she went there at like midnight.
