00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:02.300
Huuuuge thanks for the shoutout!

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:04.640
To what do I owe this pleasure?

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:06.340
FTC calls me:

00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:08.060
'wildly popular'

00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:09.080
"PewDiePie"

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:10.460
If you ever meet me in person

00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:11.880
please refer to me as the:

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:13.140
wildly

00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:14.160
popular

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.100
PewDiePie

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:16.080
Basically

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:17.040
this happened;

00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:22.100
"PewDiePie and other YouTubers took money from Warner Bros. for positive game reviews"

00:00:23.060 --> 00:00:24.040
Now that's fucked up

00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:24.880
(Sighs)

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:26.220
I- I'm just disappointed

00:00:26.220 --> 00:00:28.020
This is all over my Twitter feed

00:00:28.020 --> 00:00:29.080
People are saying;

00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:32.500
"@pewdiepie Took corporate money to NOT disclose paid game reviews.."

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:33.420
"#Shame"

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:36.980
"..Warner Bros. & PewDiePie's shady influencer marketing.."

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:38.060
So

00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:39.080
Shady

00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:40.040
It's disgusting

00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:43.960
"Bloggers/influencers have a responsibility to disclose.."

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:48.140
"So now that PewDiePie got caught getting paid off by publishers to shill for games,

00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:49.660
can we hate him now?"

00:00:49.660 --> 00:00:51.140
Can we just hate PewDiePie now?!

00:00:51.260 --> 00:00:52.580
I don't really know what he really does

00:00:52.580 --> 00:00:53.520
but I never liked him and

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.520
Ooh! Now I got a reason to hate that son of a bitch!

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:56.780
He got paid

00:00:56.780 --> 00:00:58.080
And he didn't disclose it!

00:00:58.080 --> 00:00:59.480
That's disgusting!

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:00.980
That's despicable!

00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:01.960
Fuck that asshole!

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:02.780
Oh wait no!

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:04.260
Wait! It's right there;

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:06.260
(Inside the video's about/details)
"This video was sponsored by Warner Brother"

00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:07.320
First of all;

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:08.560
This is 2 years ago

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:09.540
Second of all;

00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:10.360
It's right there!

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:11.060
It's right there!

00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:11.980
It's right there! It's right there!

00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:13.380
No one mentions this!

00:01:13.380 --> 00:01:14.220
No one!

00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:16.760
"This video was sponsored by Warner Brother"

00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:18.180
Basically what happened was that

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:19.220
a lot of youtubers

00:01:19.220 --> 00:01:20.680
was involved with this sponsorship

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:22.480
but since I am the biggest Youtuber

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.040
my name is the only one that pops up

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.540
And basically what happened was that

00:01:26.540 --> 00:01:29.040
we weren't required to disclose

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.440
I still did it!

00:01:30.440 --> 00:01:33.160
Some other Youtubers actually didn't disclose it

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:35.240
But I'm getting all that shit for it

00:01:35.240 --> 00:01:35.920
And-

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:37.160
It's kind of bullshit

00:01:37.160 --> 00:01:39.320
Yes! I could have disclosed it better

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:41.320
I could have put it above the fold

00:01:41.380 --> 00:01:43.120
So basically all these news articles

00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.760
are using me as a clickbait

00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:46.180
putting my name to shame

00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:48.040
when I didn't even do anything wrong

00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:48.780
The Verge

00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:49.780
Variety,

00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:50.920
Polygon

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:51.920
Recode

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:52.680
Mashable

00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:53.880
The list goes on!

00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:56.520
And this person put it out pretty- pretty well;

00:01:57.020 --> 00:01:59.600
"1. The FTC found that Warner Bros was at fault."

00:01:59.660 --> 00:02:01.740
And the "@Verge used @pewdiepie's name as clickbait."

00:02:01.740 --> 00:02:03.320
Thi- A Reddit post says;

00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:06.000
"..this is a terrible article, with a clickbait title.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.500
If you are interested in this issue

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:10.000
you are better off simply reading the FTC's press release.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.000
Of cause Warner Bros. did not pay Pewdiepie for a positive game review,

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.000
as Pewdiepie generally doesn't do reviews."

00:02:16.140 --> 00:02:17.860
And everyones calling me a reviewer

00:02:17.880 --> 00:02:20.300
and that is unethical for me to do a positive review

00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:22.040
but I'm not a reviewer!

00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:24.020
And if you watch the video

00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:25.120
This is what I say:

00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:27.580
(Video) Thank you for liking and commenting on this video as always Bros

00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:29.240
and thank you for hanging out with me Today

00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:30.680
I had a lot of fun playing this game

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:32.320
So hope you did as well!

00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:33.680
That's disgusting?!?

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:34.900
I had fun playing the game!

00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:35.640
FUCK YOU!

00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:36.800
He would never have said that

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:37.660
Piece of shit!

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:40.020
How dare you 2014 PewDiePie!

00:02:40.140 --> 00:02:43.000
Enjoy a game that is critically acclaimed!

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.080
Disgusting! Can we all just hate Pewdiepie now?

00:02:46.340 --> 00:02:47.900
"What they Pewdiepie to do, was a paid promotions,

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.200
which is perfectly legal as long as it is disclosed,

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:51.180
which it was."

00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:52.840
WHICH IT WAS

00:02:52.860 --> 00:02:54.700
Why is no one mentioning this?

00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.000
The headline is misleading.

00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.000
"The people getting paid to do reviews and failing to disclose that,

00:02:59.100 --> 00:03:02.300
were other less known youtubers who would bring in less clicks."

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:05.200
"According to the FTC, it was the responsibility of Warner Bros.

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:08.560
to insure that the youtubers taking part in the promotion correctly disclosed this fact."

00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:10.300
Ok, it goes on.

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:11.420
So you get the point?

00:03:11.420 --> 00:03:12.700
Thank you Nicole Sund!

00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:13.860
I appreciate that you did this

00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:15.160
Here's an important point

00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.240
this is 2 years ago

00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.300
and the FTC didn't release guidelines specific to YouTube

00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:21.920
until 2015

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:24.220
and this video was in 2014

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:26.740
I do want to say that because of this

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.720
back then YouTube paid promotion
was a bit of a gray area

00:03:30.760 --> 00:03:33.020
never the less I still disclaimed it

00:03:33.020 --> 00:03:34.100
it's there in the description

00:03:34.100 --> 00:03:36.020
but this is how it looks like Today;

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:38.900
I make a verbal mention before the video even begins

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:40.720
(PewDiePie Video) Video was brought to you by Loot Crate!

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:42.560
And the top line in the description

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.020
mentions it as well

00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:47.420
And this is so you bros can know if the video is sponsored or not

00:03:47.420 --> 00:03:48.440
right away

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:49.900
I'm all for disclaiming content

00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:51.480
I have no problem with it

00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:53.100
and I'm going to keep doing it

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.000
And "5. Finally, @verge is trash for using @pewdiepie to get views,

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.480
when there are other youtubers who didn't disclose the  WB sponsorship AT ALL."

00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:02.560
This happens time and time again

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:03.300
with Media

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:04.540
They take-

00:04:04.540 --> 00:04:06.140
They take someone popular like me

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.320
and they run whatever story is going to get them more clicks

00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:10.560
And-

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.020
You know my name gets run into the ground

00:04:13.320 --> 00:04:14.840
And a lot of these articles

00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:15.600
Are saying like;

00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:18.080
'We're still waiting on Pewdiepie for a reply'

00:04:18.140 --> 00:04:20.140
'We're still waiting for Pewdiepie to respond

00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.560
to this horrific act that he has committed!'

00:04:23.780 --> 00:04:25.160
I DON'T fucking need you!

00:04:26.460 --> 00:04:27.740
I have an audience

00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:28.820
I can talk to them!

00:04:29.380 --> 00:04:29.880
You-

00:04:29.880 --> 00:04:30.880
You're litterally

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.080
insignificant

00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:33.620
And that's why you are pulling this shit

00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:34.640
because I think you know it

00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:35.780
This is my response;

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:38.280
Now excuse me while I go play Bear Simulator

00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:39.260
THE GREATEST GAME

00:04:39.260 --> 00:04:40.440
THAT HAS EVER BEEN MADE

00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:42.200
And also I have to disclose this video

00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:44.060
was sponsored by CS:GO Lotto

00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:46.520
Thanks for grouping me with those people, Polygon

00:04:46.520 --> 00:04:47.280
Really appreciate it

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:48.980
We're practically the same

00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:49.780
Honestly!

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:50.600
Thanks to people

00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.080
who saw through this bullshit

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:53.860
and commented and boasted about it

00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:55.580
I really really appreciate that

00:04:55.580 --> 00:04:57.040
people see past the headlines

00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.060
because the problem with this is

00:04:58.060 --> 00:04:59.320
people read the headline

00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:01.420
and they- and that's all they get out of it

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:02.540
If I did something wrong

00:05:02.540 --> 00:05:05.380
I should'v- I should be paying the consequences

00:05:05.380 --> 00:05:07.840
In this case I don't think I did anything wrong

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:09.200
But that is all for now

00:05:09.200 --> 00:05:11.100
I'm sorry this had to take up a video

00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:12.420
I will see you Bros in the next one

00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:13.840
*Brofist!*
