And why did you stop watching them?

    Forgotten Weapons: Used to have videos on very cool old guns with interesting historical backgrounds and whatever. Then he made a series of selfish decisions that demonstrated what kind of person he really was, and I no longer had any interest in even helping him through the algorithm.

      What’d he do? I also used to watch that channel some time ago, but just kinda ran out of interest and stopped. Seems like I’ve missed something important

        Off the top of my head:

        -Sold a bunch of merch that was comically oversized and left everyone stuck with unusable product.
        -Tried to arrange a deal under the table on an auction gun he got a look at before it went up.
        -Doesn’t help his teammates reset stages when at a shooting competition.
        -Failed to stand up for Karl when ARFCOM was making up lies about him.
        -Failed to give IRTV credit for organizing a 2GAC match, when that’s basically the only request they make for media.
        -Took on Lucas Botkin as a sponsor.
        -Copy-pasted brutality rules for his own spin-off match after falling out with Karl, and doing such a poor job he left in references to the venue or IRTV (I can’t remember which).
        -When asked why he was selling merch with a picture of himself that he hated, shrugged and said “money.”
        -Treats his wife more like “the help.”
        -Generally just thinks he’s better than you and you don’t deserve his respect.
        -Abuses copyright takedown requests.
        -Removes comments critical of him on his YouTube channel but claims doing so for other people was not possible (Karl, when ARFCOM happened).
        -Has expressed deep distain for his own audience.

        There’s more but that’s all I can remember right now.

        Edit: I should say that he’s generally pretty good at keeping this stuff out of the public eye, these are mostly only things you hear if you know the right people.
