The YouTube Drama Never Ends... 

Time is a flat circle. Everything we have done or will do we will do over and over and over again-forever. RU-vid can't seem to avoid controversy these days and I thought I'd take the time to talk about Cory Kenshin and what he's been going through. Don't worry, regular gaming content will return soon!

I gotta say, you got some balls stepping back into the ring after the whole Quantumtv situation, but I respect it. RU-vid needs a new CEO

I’ll never understand why RU-vid goes out of its way to be the worst platform possible. I genuinely can’t believe anyone at RU-vid is really doing any of this in good faith, nor can anyone convince me otherwise.

It's almost comedic how bad RU-vid demonization is

Mad respect for you. You got fucked over by RU-vid (even if they eventually reverted it) and you still come back to talk about issues that need sorting or at the very least more attention towards them. Bravo, my man.

Without a doubt, they re-age restricted it out of spite after he called them out. Someone went out of their way to do that.

Thanks for covering this, I feel like this is a big problem that's been around for way too long and yet is so easy for youtube to just sweep under the rug

"when you call someone or something racist you better have some good evidence." 😄😂 Good one Actman.

He always gets hit when he's trending because there's an entire discord community dedicated to striking his videos whenever they do well. The fact these people can continually abuse the system with zero repercussions is absurd.

You’re a very cool guy hopefully everything goes good for you in the future

Act Man.. I must say, I'm impressed with your patience with this site. It's incredible how reasonable and understanding you still are after everything that's happened

Thank you Actman for such awesome content I’m going thru my first big breakup so thank you for the amazing content as always

So great to see Cory’s message spread around like this. He started something that needed to be addressed way long ago. That being said, I feel like RU-vid should need to have new employees who aren't biased because they clearly show tons of favoritism.

It's alright, just say it with me: They don't want you to know. If you know you can critique and they could potentially lose control. This is the method RU-vid uses to maintain control over what they want you to see. It's a narrative control issue, not a technology issue.

I really am routing for the platform to have some changes because a lot of my favorite creators aren't putting on a fake performance for monetization. I really appreciate how committed to being straight forward an honest you are. if you need some videos like this to rant about the issues on the platform keep doing it.

You and Corey are both my dawgs fr been fans of the both of y’all for awhile hope Y’all come out on top

Sometimes it feels like both Twitch and RU-vid compete with eachother to see who's the worst and most out of touch platform on the internet

What we need is The Act Man, CoryXKenshin and bungie, to all come together against youtube

Love you Act Man. Your videos have been part of my routine since I started watching RU-vid. Monetized, demonetized, still my favorite channel.

Just leaving a comment and a like here to support Act Man. You go king

You know that RU-vid is in trouble when even CoryxKenshin, who has never made videos like these and is know for positive vibes had to make a video on RU-vid’s Racism and Favoritism

Will it get better or get worse? Ever since I talked about the OG Act Man situation my channel got killed off. A necessary causality I suppose haha. RU-vid has a long was to go and honestly I don't see it getting better.

I love this channel. Act man you’re wonderful

amazing vid Act Man. never stop making your content, on whatever platform is best for you. we will be here.

I've been watching Cory since 2016 and seeing him being treated like this is so dumb, he is literally the last person who deserves this

RU-vid is running itself into the ground and is living up to the phrase "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain."

I love the act man. Hope he succeeds more in life.

Just know ur fans got you bro like idk if u have a patreon or something but i can guarentee there are plenty of people like me who appreciate what you do and would be willing to support you and your work. We are here for you and the other creators not youtube and they need to realise that sooner than later.

As a lawyer, I would guess RU-vid's clarity in providing guidance is because if they began providing more specific guidelines and explanations would have them arguing all over the place based on prior precedent. Think of a specific explanation as RU-vid painting themselves into an ever smaller and smaller corner. Or take the US Constitution as another example. It's purposefully vague. RU-vid's vague language and lack of explanations leaves them a ton of latitude to do what they like.

Minor heads up, demonetized videos can still have advertisements on them. You just don't get paid as a creator.

I have been watching your content since the lockdown, and don't back down, cause you WILL pull through.

This video got recommended and it's also 19 on trending currently nice job with the video

It's crazy that they go after him, HIM , of all people, He's the one more family friendly than most of the people out there. He would be making them more money than a lot of people. Yet, it happen. Can't blame him for thinking it's racism or favoritism.

The male of the acting variety returns to drop steaming hot factoids on us. In the words of Anakin Skywalker himself: “This is where the fun begins!”

For a middle aged man going through a mid-life crisis and dumping almost 10k into a set up to begin my own channels, making content and streaming, this video has terrified me to begin uploading videos. If people who are successful and know what they are doing are experiencing stuff like this, I feel like what hope do I have as someone starting at the absolute bottom?

I love your content, keep up the great work acting male!

You give youtube way more patience than they're worth, I feel like they're legit just scheming assholes who like the secrecy because they enjoy the power of being able to bend and unfairly apply rules depending on what they feel beneficts them at the time

a specific high level employee at yt must be responsible for this, it feels like someone that's working at youtube is actively trying to hurt the platform by doing things like this

Love the dead rising music act lol great vid man

Great job on keeping on with the truth. I have endless respect for you and the way your do your work for this reason

My dude, youre the epitome of my favorite quote ever, "If you wanna walk that righteous road, you gotta take the lumps."

So, to my understanding, the issue is RU-vid puts to much faith in bots and algorithms to determine what gets age restricted and demonitized, rather than let a team of humans do a more accurate job of it and communicating with creators to resolve issues. Hope that gets resolved at somepoint. Also, if Quantum ends up making some kind of response to this to taunt or insult you, over something he had no involment in(even less than last time) I'll be annoyed.

As always a great video! First found your channel when you posted the Elden Ring worst takes video. Was curious to what song is played at around the 7 minute mark of this video! Love the channel and your content!

I always click on your videos as fast as I can because I'm afraid they'll be taken down just like your magnum opus. I wish I could re-watch it. The editing was SUPERB.

They don't want creators to know what violates community guidelines so that way they can continue to strike videos without having to be held accountable it lets them hear the whiny people strike down a video that they don't like and not have to answer for any of it

Act man always brings a video in response to something bad, when can we see happy act man 🥺

I bet when there are more Videos on this Topic, RU-vid is going to Overreact and Demonitize RU-vidrs that talk about this. But we need an answer from RU-vid because if they continue giving us the Silent Treatment that makes the Company look VERY bad. by the way Thanks for talking about this Act Man. We need more people to know about this and get RU-vid's attention!

I’ve been watching from your halo videos from your past. I loved it and considered you my go to halo channel . You have grown your channel too bigger things and I’m so happy you’ve blown up the way you did. Cheers

One of the major issues with todays social media society, has become favoritism. The whole actman vs 'you know who", corey's situation, massive youtubers not getting punished for offences but small ones are (and then the massive youtubers get in trouble when speaking out about it) Actman, i am just so glad, you are still doing these video's. Hope i can ever buy you a belgian beer

Man I'm just glad you have the drive to really pursue this, if no one speaks up nothing ever changes

In a way, Quantum saved RU-vid because you're a household name now and even though I'm 38, I look up to you for keeping it real! Others do too and it's started a fire. 🔥

This is exactly like working in a CS department and having to deal with a Quality department reviewing your actions. This was years ago but I had a case where I used a line from the Quality website on a perfect interaction, used it for like two years, and then was told it was inappropriate. When I disputed that and even gave them a link to their own site they told me I was wrong, when my manager tried to dispute he was told to stop because he was making them feel bad. >.>

I think to call them racist is overboard. I imagine trending brings haters , false claims and reports which then get sent through a broken system which is overseen by incompetent people. That being said there is definitely favoritism and letting things slide for highrollers and uber popular channels like tv networks. Good vids mr acting man. Keep up the good stuff my guy 🙏🙌

Man, I've said it before but I'll say it again. I'm genuinely really happy you're still on this platform. The videos are rad and you're a good dude, homie.

Ready for the reviews!

Thanks for this videos Act Man,.

Mate I love your content. Hope your okay, and that this drama doesn’t discourage you

I’d chalk it up to just blatant incompetence at the highest level.

I'm hoping things will get better that quantum tv stuff was intense at some points i really thought we would lose you I hope it gets better man

you're honestly a pioneering legend

Corey's reaction to the Ghost Stance in GoT is still insanely relatable. I remember being just as shocked and impressed with the moment

#justiceforactman

Thanks for sharing your experiences

Thank You Act Man. You are helping me with being a real man. That big wild guy. Like a grizzly bear. Thank You.

Yeah RU-vid can never be out drama and glad you are talking about this act man

The bullsh*t that happened to you yet QTV got away seemingly unscathed is damnable for RU-vid. There absolutely is favoritism. #Justice4ActMan

This is not related to the video but I love the way you use music to show off what is happening the video, it makes the video so much more fun and interesting.

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

Looking for something to brighten my day. Thank you @The Act Man for dropping this banger that I can't wait to get into! Have a great day, and thank you again.

Thank you for making this video, dude. Just painful to see RU-vid turn itself into cable tv when majority of the reason people loved RU-vid was for the endless possibilities within reason (aside from the obvious). It’s just depressing.

It's def not just gaming channels, it's the whole youtube Horror niche... now this is my community and this year I started my own horror/urban legends/true crime channel... this channel has basically saved my life due to some rough stuff I was going through and giving me this opportunity to do something I love has made a HUGE difference in my life... so it kills me that all my favorite horror channels are struggling so hard from Horror narration to True crime to horror gaming channels... there all under threat here. If youtube kills the Horror niche it will absolutely break my heart. We got to fix this guys, please. 🙏 we gotta fix this.

This just shows the integrity and honour of the Act man he just almost lost everything trying to do what is right for the platform, and now even despite the risks he is once again doing what is right. Thank you Act Man for your endless determination to make RU-vid a better place.

It’s always a W when Act Man uploads! 😎👍

Love you act man!

11:05 That video effect is so odd to look at but mesmerizing.

Love your videos man, their always great !

Cory, I've been watching him for so long, 2016. God why does RU-vid treat their celebrities and Legends like this? RU-vid needs competition because without it they can get away with this.

I don’t envy you Act man, I hope you can continue to make videos and have a good life despite RU-vid’s crap

I love that you, one of my favorite RU-vidrs is talking about korykeshin, another of my favorite RU-vidrs, too bad it’s RU-vid problems related 😁

I really wished someone reuploaded the RU-vid video of part 2 against the quantum TV guy,in my opinion the best video I ever seen act man make and as a paralegal student who is invested in understanding law as a personal interest I would rewatch the video countless times just because how enjoyable it was as a presentation. If anybody finds it up re-uploaded please send me the link, much love to act man's videos.

RU-vid demonetized me for 'reuse" content when all my videos are fully mine and now RU-vid is refusing to send me $43,000 for the month of July and August.. I have no idea what to do

While it isn't racism as far as I'm concerned, considering what happened with you and Quantum, it's always favoritism. There are a few things that will keep you in their good boy list. 1: Mainstream media like talkshow hosts, old media news sites like CNN and Fox, etc. 2: Being their chosen good boys like Logan and Jake Paul in their old days. They were chosen to be the faces of RU-vid, and did mainly, as Logan called it, Hooligan stuff. 3: Being big, but only if you tow a narrative. Political narrative or not. Towing the narrative being popular. Look at Twitters own narratives, and how Elon Musk went from beloved creator of electric cars for green energy, and then, he goes and says we need free speech on Twitter, and all the elites nd blue checkmarks are hating him like he's Hitler 2.0. And look at Markiplier. He got punished for trying to do the right thing. If that doesn't scream type 3 of good boys, then I don't know what is. And Cory falls within the 3rd one, but he doesn't tow the narrative. IIRC, he would start videos or end them with bible quotes. Google, who owns RU-vid, despises anything religious that isn't the current protected class. It's obvious. So he easily is getting targeted because he's clearly open about himself in ways they don't like. And google are elites. What do they hate? What they view as NPC grey matter getting big over time. They want to gate keep success. Cory has been around as early as 2009 if what I've heard is correct. He didn't pop out into youtube being the best of the best. He spent time making content, and got here eventually. RU-vid will try to stop that. Like how they, a while ago, tried to block views from coming into your video if you have what they call "a lack of creator history". If your video is gettign viral, they'll stiffle views. It was talked about. Look up "This video is popular, due to limited creator history". Google it. Their policies are always being designed to take a dump on smaller content creators, and people they don't like. Elites look at us not even as people of our own heritage if we're not rich or elite in any way. We're all NPC grey matter. Meaning that's the only genuine form of racism you can really bring up, other than them trying to prop up black creators. At the end of the day though, it can't be the kind of racism you think, because if you're not a minority, you're on your own. Look at how badly they messed up Mumkey Jones, and didn't stick to a fair system. His whole career was assassinated by them, and only the fans were able to keep him up. His own "employers" decided to cancel him by using slanderous claims about his videos and their intentions behind said videos. Corys case is far from unique. And it blends in with the dime a dozen cases. So it's not racism. It's classism to a T.

A+ I think that more information and sharing that info between creators can lift the veil a little on exactly what's happening beyond that algorithm, from what is human action taken, and what just happens as a mistaken result from computer enforcement.

I think something's going on with youtube behind the scenes. They seem to be "encouraging" youtubers that they deem as non-conformist (hard to control, raises concerns, inspires others to think critically, etc.) to leave, giving them a harder and harder time as time goes on until they just give up.

Bro, i swear every single time youtube gets called out, they’ll try to nuke anyone who even tries to talk about.

Never thought I’d see one of my favorite childhood RU-vidrs talking about another one of my favorite childhood RU-vidrs.

The music in this video is top notch. Bravo! The acting male strikes again

Im glad everybody is making videos about this and is being covered

This man has been using quick revive and juggernog against YT lately, stay strong man 💪

Speaking out for what's right despite the overlords trying to silence you. Respect.

cant wait for the yugioh video man!

Your takes here were reasonable and moderate, Mr. Acting Male. I don't want to see RU-vid go up in flames. I sincerely want to see it succeed, and the Content Creators I've grown to love, thrive. Clearly, something has to change. The ball is in RU-vid's court now, and it'd be pretty darn simple for them to start fixing their issues. Starting off with better communication seems like a good idea.

It's a damn shame that RU-vid is too big to fail, at this point. Like, there is no one to at least give them a slap on the back of the hand when shit like this happens.

Love how you’re stepping up to RU-vid. Keep it up!

Thank you for this channel

This video did not show up on my homepage despite me watching nearly every Act Man video on day 1 of its release, imagine that!

As long as RU-vid exists there will always be drama!

I avoided this drama until your coverage. Glad to see it now

i love the editing style you're just too funny bruh lmao

Actually seeing how the system works for creators was nice. It makes sense why there is such a huge boost in recent years of nearly every video having a sponsor so at least the creators have a more stable revenue stream.
