megamanny he pioneered a whole genre in youtube simple short form minecraft content
has exploded since he started making it and he was undoubtedly a huge part in success
however his growth now isn't nearly as impressive with many competitors outperforming him
what went wrong join me as we dive into shady practices and questionable choices from copied
ideas to stolen thumbnails homophobia and spamming his subs with paid promotions he's got it all
the hardest part of mass producing short form content as megamanny does is coming up with enough
ideas I mean really that might be the hardest part of all genres on youtube different people have
different ways to combat this whether outsourcing from the community as steveee does or making a
series but there is one way that i simply think is not okay and that is directly ripping from
others ideas and unfortunately megamanny has started doing this but before we talk about that
let's hear from my collaborator qwarz hello I'm qwarz and I made my appearance here because I want
to tell you about my experience with creators of this newly formed genre as you can see from this
screenshot creators don't have any issue with copying each other and when new ideas emerge
they collectively set them dry this all started when a fellow named stroop dmd me so you know
that megamanny he uploads a ton of times per day yeah yeah and I was assuming that he just steals
content until he stole mine this is my post on reddit with these pictures proving the stolen idea
but more impressively proving that mega many stoles stroop's thumbnail if you don't believe
me look at that enchantment glint on the notch apple it is in exactly the same place that's
pretty unlikely if we watch the megamanny video we can see he just tries a crafting recipe with
a notch head and it fails he gives no credit in the video description or even a comment and
unfortunately stroop is even more right I assume that he steals others too this is not an isolated
incident this has happened many times but only a few small creators have been vocal about it
for example if we look at this video called megamanny copied my video we see yet another
example of mega many stealing a smaller creator's idea they're practically the same video with them
both minding each material with its respective pickaxe counterpart it is a very similar case with
the video I found looking in the comments where the small creator made the same video as mega many
but before him watch them side by side it's just crazy how similar they are overall I think that
mega many should get his own video ideas outsource them from the community or at least give credit
megamanny only has one page linked to his channel and it's his vk account if you don't know vk is
essentially russian facebook appearing almost identical to it megamanny's vk account shows
his name relationship status and the like but what's important here is the groups he's part of
several of these are let's say questionable let's start with this group named dreamnotgaylolx16
centimeters it's much more incriminating my friend specter translated it for me thank you
so much dude the page simply reads aperitus is gay a loser in life and has six centimeters meaning a
small dick let me break this down for you you're probably wondering who is aperitus aperitus is an
admin on teslacraft a minecraft server that megamanny is a junior moderator on this group is
essentially created to bully aperitus whether for his opinion on dream or his actions as a player
I'm not quite sure but no matter what he did using homosexuality as an insult is unacceptable
but let's hear what qwarz knows about lgbt status in russia unfortunately in russia you get abused
even for not being homophobic I myself learned gay as an insult before I figured out what it means
after me and my classmates started insulting each other like that our teacher called us to prevent
us from using this word nope she did not explain that using it as a slur is bad she told us that we
all will burn in hell for using it at all ah childhood good times and sweet ptsd memories
thanks course and megamanny if you're watching don't use homosexuality as an insult in the future
his overall demeanor is also very negative as represented by many of his
friends and this thread on the teslacraft forum about toxicity inside of his clan
youtubers always try and figure out ways to monetize their content and in megamanny's case it
was practically instant megamanny had figured out a way to monetize his community tab with the large
amount of subscribers he already had beginning on march 10th he posted videos from other creators
similar to him on his community tab starting with the one and only steveee but you see this is not
what it looks like this is not some benevolent creator helping out small channels get started
starting with its friends mega many had began to flood small channels with views and subscribers
in return for cash slowly the web expanded out of his friend group and into the public leaving
bloated channels in its wake and we do have clear evidence of this from this interaction alone
we have sufficient evidence thank you specter again for providing me with this conversation
i noticed that you're russian so I decided to send you a message I currently have 14k
subscribers so I thought perhaps we could do a shout out to each other in our community tabs
mega mini responds hello I take payments only oh i see and that's it mega many gets paid to promote
channels on his community tab this is overall scummy because he presents it as if he's being
nice and shouting out content without recognition when really it's for his own monetary gain
I think that all of these together come into a cohesive narrative playing into the bigger
picture megamanny father of this short form minecraft genre is crumbling and becoming less
relevant than his counterparts people like steveee have surpassed him and subscribers in relevancy
with spectator and skepeee not far behind he just doesn't quite have the skills his own
actions have directly led to this and he has not quite realized his fate yet megamanny I really
hope that you become more transparent with your practices and show the world who you truly are
i actually offered him help but he declined because he prefers to work with his irl friends
oh well this short minecraft content is screwed anyways learn why in part two of our collaboration
thanks qwarz please don't send any megamanny's way it won't change anything at all thank you
so much for 5k subscribers and feel free to subscribe if you want to I
did pull an all-nighter right now it's 6 am but with that see in the next one
