  • Ep. 3: Haters, Thieves, and Other Scoundrels

    Lee and Jered are back and crankier than ever!

    In our main topic, the boys talk about how small channels nick ideas, content, and even plans from popular creators, and ask our audience to weigh in on what they think of this. Is this moral or ethical, or just part of the game? Does this bother you? Does it bother other content creators? Is this something we should even care about?

    We go on to give shout-outs to our YouTube haters, ask why so many channels are doing finish comparisons lately, and throw out the best video spotlight segment we’ve come up with yet.
