How much bullshit are YouTubers allowed to get away with exactly?

Eedat··124 votes·7,436 views

I'm not talking about being disrespectful behind their mics. Being a bit of a jerk as long as they don't act that way in game is one thing. I'm also not talking about custom games either.

Not going to name names, but I'm talking about the flood or things like blatant account sharing and trolling. I'm talking about taking a silver player and giving them access to a diamond account to see what happens in a ranked game. I'm talking about straight up trolling like going afk in a bronze ranked game to see if they can still carry. I'm talking about diamond+ YouTubers buying bronze accounts so they can troll and smurf at the same time.

Why aren't any of these blatant rule infractions punished? Do you think high ELO players think its fair that they have a silver 4 midlaner just so some other guy can get YouTube views? How is it fair for someone to straight up troll a lower ELO game just for some shitty clickbait?

You know, I can understand these things being difficult to catch when its isolated incidences. How can we justify these people not getting caught when they upload actual videos of them doing it practically daily on YouTube? What kind of example does that set exactly? How long will they get away with it?

lmao just go to their channel and try not to find a video without a clickbait title, league youtubers just suck in general it's just one "busted" thing after another

but then there's helpful ones like darkk mane that teach me how to play lethality jinx to get the money

And let's not forget Kshaway, and his beautiful compilation of boosted clips (wood division adventures)

ShaolinToilet4 votes

Yeah his beautiful videos of overused memes and music which are all the same

kargish8 votes

Overused? The reason why I like Kshaway is because his content is actually unique in terms of compilation videos. Kshaway also use music that literally no one else does, even if he sometimes use the same effects/music it's hard not to when you got 135 episodes all containing about 10 clips.

Kshaway truly deserves his Millions of Views. His Music Choice is a god given

TeCoolMage3 votes

LoL skillcapped challenger videos, Gorsky, Kiandy is okay because he does it extremely ironically, Kshaway, niche onetrick channels, lone coyote, hi I'm coconut and a few more I forgot

Oh how much i despite those "funny" Youtubers rofling over other Peoples Misery. Like a Reallife TahmKench they feast on their Suffering both literally and figuratively (aka getting paid for Youtube Views)

Now that im already on League Youtubers: Remember our favorite "positive" Summoner DiscoHeat?

I used to love him for just doing in LoL what he wanted, looks nice and chilled, which he is in Reallife aswell. Cool Dude with great Music taste that enjoyed League and also made some "League of Children" of People Butthurt, rude or unneccesary Toxic.

But here comes my Problem with him: He more or less forces People to get Butthurt, provocating as much and hard as he can, trying to squeeze even the tinyiest bit of Flame or Tilt out of someone to go all like: "Hey im just playing for Fun and he is toxic lel XD kek".

I can only guess that many People realized this as well and this is why he stopped making "League of Children" or more like, "How much can you tease someone until he erupt all his hatred".

Weren't League of Children clips from random streamers who were toxic?

Xonra9 votes

It was 50/50. Some were random clips but he started baiting people to get a rise out of them when he wasn't being sent as much stuff. So he would try to piss people off to get content for his channel.

Wow that's super shitty. I wish Riot would do something about him.

Always thought that guy was super toxic, personally. I subbed to him at first, but the more I saw the more I realized he was a jerk.

I'm more concerned with Redmercy and other clickbait channels. I miss the old days when he made theory/tips videos (which still have over 4x the views of his clickbait ones)

Mandalorian 1176 votes

The problem I have with red is that in his videos he’s actually pretty informative and cool. But his clickbait titles are annoying and almost misleading. One that stood out was when kindred got buffed to get unlimited stacks and his title was “WTF KINDRED CAN OUTRANGE TURRETS” or something. Then in the video he explained it took almost an hour of nothing but farming camps to get that much. I was kind of annoyed by that since it may never happen in game. I like redmercy, but I hate his titles.

Supreme Senpai696 votes

Same with NB3. Or SoloRenektonOnly. Or whoever else. I don't watch their shit but those names keep appearing in my recommended videos because I do watch league videos. Every champion is "1k AP 1v5 pentakill so broken riot will nerf 100% wow"

I really like MagikarpUsedFly. Cuz his titles are literally "I play katarina" or "I feed as Bard." I know what im gettin. Lone Coyote is a good one too

Mandalorian 1175 votes

magikarp and bricky (formally brickyorchid8) are in my opinion, the best YouTubers out there. They are funny, they are honest, and they actually try to make quality content. I think a lot of people could learn from them. Dark mane and skooch are enjoyable too.

Supreme Senpai691 votes

I just wish Bricky and Dark Mane especially didn't show their faces. Their voices are awesome but seeing what they look like ruins the immersion.

Mandalorian 1174 votes

I disagree, it’s always cool to see the person behind the screen. Plus it gave us the glorious bricky forehead meme.

General Esdeath 2 votes

He's not as informative as he used to be imo, I remember he used to give every tip he could (to the point he'd repeat himself a lot) and I learned some things from him that I still use, like Zed W EQ and then W behind them trick.

Riot not banning Ghost to Lane for the constant violations is ridiculous. Dude needs his main nuked from Orbit.

"I BOUGHT A BOOST AND THEN CARRIED THE BOOSTER WOW!!" w

Ghost to Lane? Yeah, I hate that channel, clickbait titles while breaking the TOS.

depends on the popularity of the youtuber/streamer. popular youtubers/streamers provide riot with free advertising for there game so what is the incentive to punish these players.

That's what people told tyler1

1wolfpack8 votes

TBH, I never heard of T1 until after he got banned, cant really comment on his popularity, but on the bright side hes back and more popular then ever.

A better example is Dunkey. Riot openly states they love sublets videos, but rules are rules and all users abide by them.

SpongebobIsLife6 votes

felt bad for dunkey. That malphite trolled him so hard yet he didn't get punished, but dunkey did just bc he got fed up with the dude's ish.

Xonra13 votes

He was no saint and he was a turd for a long time. People just like to pretend he was all innocent and whatever because "lawl dunkey". He was not fun to play with or against unless you knew him. He was an asshole otherwise, and not in a funny way people play it off like. He just trolled for the lawls because he thought he'd never get punished for it.

Pika Fox4 votes

Riots proven more than enough times that they dont care how much money you spend or how many views you bring in, theyll still ban you just the same as anyone else.

you could just say you're talking about Ghost to lane

Send a ticket to player support with links to the videos?

The people in the games with this person may not know that this is happening unless he announces it in all chat at the beginning of each game. Riot can't watch every single video uploaded to Youtube after all. And with the change in how ads work they can't even look for certain title or something.

Wild Geese5 votes

Something needs to be done about gaming culture in general. Too many people think inflicting harm upon others for laughs is "cool".

In fact, In the real world, taking pleasure in the suffering of others is called being a sadist, and is common among psychopaths. There are real people behind the computer screens. I'm not saying there's never a cause for being mean (there's plenty) but if you're doing it just for sport, that isn't funny; it's sick.

They afk? Seems like boring content.

I know a lot of youtubers, Nightblue3 being probably the biggest one, that will do custom games of him and his diamond friends against silver players and every ap rengar jg game is "OMG THIS IS ACTUALLY BROKEN RIOT WHAT WERE YOU THINKING", but that's still custom games and not a bought account

1wolfpack2 votes

I always thought he be playing in normal games from watching his youtube videos, pretty boring. I would really life to see that guy put out a real jungle tutorial, or upload a serious ranked game.

True. Idk how they don't get restricted/banned, while having committed the same crime, normal folk do.

Dad Rock3 votes

As long as you are not the reason your team is losing, you will climb. The more trolls and afks there are in this game, the more likely you are to climb as long as you are not the troll or afk. There are 5 enemies who could possibly be a silver player for youtubee views meanwhile there are only 4 friendly teamates who could possibly be that silver player. As long as you play a lot of games, these trolls benefit your elo.

6Sfool4 votes

You have a point there, but if there is a troll on either team it still ruins the game. Not everything is about climbing, most of us still play because we want to have a good game.

Jobriq3 votes

I don't think Riot monitors youtube looking for people to ban

HalcyonDweller2 votes

Yeah I'm with you, that's fucked up.

Penta Penguin2 votes

how about that one guy who afk-types paragraphs of rage to Rioters directly in game

or that one guy who told rioters to kill themselves multiple times

or that one guy that starts tilt-splitting and flaming his team in any game where he does poorly

also that one guy named SoloRenektonOnly that stopped making renekton vids in favor of "1000 AP ONE SHOT LEBLANC TOP IS TOTALLY BROKEN??? THIS HAS TO BE NERFED!!!! BRONZE TO DIAMOND PART 40!"

Yeah Ghost to Lane wouldn't just shut up for a few seconds. I saw the Riven video, subscribed, once I saw the Xerath one, it's like okay this guy's annoying, unsubscribed.

well none of these really matters tbh,the real thing is when they say stuff like "%%%","kys",........ breaking rules is fine as long as your not toxic.based on riots rules ofc.
