Transcript
00:00:00.000
All right, Sneeko's going insane, but it's working.
00:00:04.240
I just, I just got, I just, yo, a lot of you need to wake up, wake up, come back to reality,
00:00:14.120
get off the TikTok, get off the Instagram, you're so stupid, you're so stupid, but it's
00:00:22.100
This past month, he went from gaining 1,000, 2,000 subscribers per day to 15, 16, sometimes
00:00:29.600
If you've been following him for many years on YouTube, you aren't really surprised
00:00:33.060
with his current behavior or mindset, but you're probably thinking he is going about it the
00:00:42.860
Yo, WRL form, get off of my dick, this is perfect form, this is sumo deadlift, my back is not
00:00:49.920
even arched, that's perfect form, look at that, what is that, like 365?
00:00:55.300
Young men, expose the realities of the Western world, make his followers, take the red pill
00:01:03.980
With his new $250 social media course and affiliate marketing program.
00:01:07.800
Okay, well, I'm dropping the price, we're doing it $50 a month now.
00:01:10.360
Everybody who signed up for it, lifetime access.
00:01:13.020
Everybody who's already in there got lifetime access.
00:01:15.440
But August 22nd, this shit is dropping with the affiliate program, everything.
00:01:19.740
The course is finalized for August 22nd, that's a week from today, and only 1,000 people can
00:01:25.320
Some people believe his disorderly conduct is all part of a controlled experiment.
00:01:29.100
Well, today we're going to dive into the world of Sneeko and find out if this chaos is calculated.
00:01:34.580
Jet, that was perfect form, stop, you're hurting my feelings like every day.
00:01:46.520
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
00:01:48.880
Season 3 is just starting, I need to just get back in the rhythm of it, you know what
00:01:53.140
Social media has taken place on his second channel called Sneeko.
00:01:56.140
However, his YouTube history dates all the way back to 2013 on his main channel, where
00:02:00.140
he was seemingly just an ordinary teenager playing Call of Duty.
00:02:14.660
What a dweeb, look at him, wearing a white t-shirt in his room.
00:02:17.900
Instead of talking about the gameplay, he would discuss more ambitious topics like
00:02:23.620
Alright, so the main issue we're going to talk about today, like we said, is separation
00:02:30.960
Hey guys, welcome back to another Call of Duty video.
00:02:32.840
Today I'm talking about separation of church and state and the pros and cons of gay marriage
00:02:44.860
That, that one guy like, hmm, yeah, let's talk about the socioeconomic status quo.
00:02:58.000
The question at hand is, should the U.S. intervene in Syria?
00:03:04.160
The question at hand, should the U.S. intervene in, I don't know shit about Syria.
00:03:08.280
I'm just talking about like stuff that I think is smart.
00:03:10.720
At just 14 years old, he was not only interested in talking about serious topics, but his ability
00:03:28.420
to rationalize, understand both sides of an argument, and then form his own opinion was
00:03:34.360
He also shared stories of his experiences with racism and profiling since he is an Asian American,
00:03:41.720
But it's not like he was super deep and serious all the time.
00:03:45.840
Well, a quarter Haitian, a quarter Hungarian, but you know, pretty good documentary so far.
00:03:50.620
After all, he still was a teenager from New York.
00:03:54.820
I was born in New York City, but I'm really from New Haven, Connecticut, but New York sounds
00:03:58.820
cool, so it's like, I don't have to correct it.
00:04:02.120
Yeah, he was a teenager from New York, and pretend like Connecticut's not like one of the
00:04:05.400
most boring states that you could say, but let's be honest, let's be honest.
00:04:09.480
It's a popular series that grew his subscriber base.
00:04:12.060
You're wearing a white t-shirt in your room now, oh man.
00:04:16.020
This was essentially a two to five minute compilation of trending topics, viral videos,
00:04:20.040
or internet phenomena that he would give his comedic opinion on.
00:04:35.400
At number two, I have Sneeko, and if you've ever seen Sneeko's videos, you realize that
00:05:01.720
Once you start watching them, it's kind of hard to stop.
00:05:04.020
But whether it was serious or comedic, he was gaining subscribers not because of his
00:05:07.780
great video game abilities or amazing editing, but because of his thoughts, his ideas, his
00:05:13.700
People are like, oh, you don't, you're not a feminist?
00:05:15.860
Feminism is for equality, for equality for both genders.
00:05:19.460
Look at chat cheering me on for falling out of my chair.
00:05:25.380
What are you just going to encourage my downfall?
00:05:29.820
Let's be, let's talk about, uh, whatever the hell this nerd is talking about in his room
00:05:40.340
If I like something, I will prove to you I'm better.
00:05:49.480
I'm still making videos in my room with the white wall, so that's doing a little better
00:05:54.800
For some of you, you're proud of your answer, but for most, you're ashamed.
00:06:00.820
On November 28th, 2015, he uploaded this video titled, How People View You.
00:06:08.500
Most people after watching this video realize that a 17-year-old kid has more self-awareness
00:06:12.940
Plus, something about his hair changing from being messy and overgrown to shaved was a cool
00:06:18.860
This video would eventually blow up, today sitting at over 6 million views, but it actually
00:06:25.220
You see, Sneeko's crux was that he was terribly inconsistent.
00:06:28.320
He uploaded just nine videos in the next two and a half years.
00:06:32.000
L, YouTuber in the chat, nine videos in two years is ridiculous, but I was here just
00:06:36.360
trying to learn and like, let me just be off of social media.
00:06:42.980
I was trying to be like experiencing the real world and develop my, because all I was doing
00:06:47.060
was sitting inside playing COD and I wanted to have actual perspective.
00:06:52.920
Then when he had the most potential, he quit, loosely putting out content, barely hanging on
00:06:59.840
Man, I was stuck at like 27K for like three, four years, chat.
00:07:04.160
For three to four years, I think I had 27,000 subs.
00:07:07.420
And even at one point I hit 30,000 and then I just got unsubbed back down to 27.
00:07:12.940
It was during this time where he gained real life experience to help him be more thought
00:07:16.720
provoking, introspective, and understanding of the real world in his experience.
00:07:21.400
Bro, this guy did a really good job with his documentary.
00:07:23.540
That knowledge and experience was crucial to him upping his quality during his consistent
00:07:31.580
He uploaded 10 videos in 2018 and the quality increased a lot.
00:07:37.580
Sometimes it was an introspective oration or a funny reaction video.
00:07:41.380
He even got an opportunity to work for Mr. Beast that summer.
00:07:56.760
He was only featured in one video and was later fired.
00:07:59.180
He quickly saw an opportunity to grow his 27,000 subscriber base and made a video titled
00:08:08.360
He uploaded it, got 30 views, and then deleted it.
00:08:13.600
That video, even though it was deleted after a few minutes, damaged the relationship between
00:08:19.920
I realized as soon as I uploaded the video, like, this is not what I want to be doing.
00:08:23.440
And I deleted it right away, but it's too late.
00:08:27.680
I didn't want to be the guy in Mr. Beast's videos.
00:08:31.420
The reason he was fired was simply because he wasn't a good fit for the position.
00:08:38.780
But now Jimmy was getting millions of subscribers.
00:08:40.960
Sneeko's ego trumped his ability to understand that the reason why Mr. Beast had 4 million subs
00:08:46.080
had nothing to do with the reason why Sneeko only had 27,000 subs.
00:08:50.520
In other words, everyone has their own path, their own trajectory.
00:08:54.180
And unless you make the same exact content as someone else on YouTube, y'all are not competitors.
00:08:58.760
On top of that, he just isn't the type of guy to work for someone else.
00:09:03.660
I don't know, I thought everybody was like that.
00:09:11.180
But I thought that everybody wanted to be the CEO.
00:09:13.160
And I thought that everybody taking a position off to the side and being like an assistant
00:09:22.140
And everybody who isn't is just like, okay, I guess this is kind of as good.
00:09:33.960
While watching, he accurately explained the hypocritical mindset of supporting artists
00:09:37.580
who have done or are accused of terrible things.
00:09:40.400
I was wildly impressed at his breakdown, and it felt like he was speaking my thoughts.
00:09:44.520
He closed the video with a very powerful message.
00:09:46.620
But don't go full fanboy and refuse to believe your favorite artists aren't angels.
00:09:50.580
Don't blindly justify their shitty behavior and never worship celebrities.
00:09:54.740
The best way to treat these people is like you would anyone else.
00:09:57.700
Flawed humans with consistent, questionable behavior.
00:10:08.420
And so like some people will like troll me for that today.
00:10:13.240
But he was saying like, he just basically clowning me for the fact that Mr. Beast fired me.
00:10:18.640
But I don't look back at that with regret at all.
00:10:24.580
I would rather be doing my own thing than being the side character and like an Orbeez shoving
00:10:29.900
a hundred thousand Orbeez up my asshole in a pool, digging my way to China and donating
00:10:37.460
Like I'd rather just be, this is more fun to me rather than being the guy holding the
00:10:41.560
camera while Jimmy shoves a thousand Orbeez up his asshole in a pool, you know, but I fumbled
00:10:51.900
From here on out, the quality of his videos just kept going up.
00:10:56.460
On September 13th, 2018, he hit the streets of New York City to ask people.
00:11:05.960
Three months after he posted this video, his channel exploded.
00:11:09.200
He went from 30,000 subscribers to 130,000 subscribers in 24 hours.
00:11:15.960
I don't think I've ever felt better than that day.
00:11:17.620
It took him six years for him to be an overnight success.
00:11:22.680
Imagine after three years of losing subs and like feeling like that, I fell off and seeing
00:11:28.980
everybody else surpass me, seeing people who were supporting me in the Call of Duty days
00:11:35.140
And then I'm here like with my measly bucket, 27,000, barely uploading, quitting back and
00:11:39.860
And then finally, finally, after six years, like overnight success.
00:11:44.280
And I want to give a lot of credit to Mr. Beast because that video that would follow that
00:11:47.100
um, would white, can white people say the N word video?
00:11:50.680
Um, not the idea for the video, but the idea for the clickbait.
00:11:58.200
From here, his back catalog started gaining more and more views.
00:12:01.540
People were realizing that Sneeko was their woke best friend that they were ignoring for
00:12:06.160
His scribble drawings over New York City B-roll complimented his thoughtful essays perfectly.
00:12:10.880
This is the era where Sneeko built his core fan base.
00:12:13.800
This style took him from 100,000 to 500,000 subscribers in about six months.
00:12:19.600
I still want to make a lot more videos like this.
00:12:27.900
But I want to do like a month of streaming and then a month of main channel stuff.
00:12:34.260
But there's an artistic shit that I want to scratch.
00:12:40.380
That's kind of like the shoving Orbeez up your asshole thing.
00:12:42.440
But his own thoughts, he was asking people on the street for theirs.
00:12:47.240
Once he officially branded these street interviews as the one-minute podcast, he went from 500k
00:12:56.400
It was like a combination of street interviews and changed my mind together with the atmosphere
00:13:00.680
and the cinematic nature of the New York City train station.
00:13:11.160
Do you think I need to get a bodyguard to do this now?
00:13:14.620
The guy who made this video, I would call him a documentarian.
00:13:24.920
I want to respond to Patrick CC's diagnosis of my brain by the end.
00:13:30.500
I'm not going to cap and act like I didn't already react to it.
00:13:32.780
But this dude, he needs to get on a call with me so that he can actually figure out and
00:13:38.700
stop like analyzing me like the dudes in the comments section.
00:13:43.600
The way the world changed and flipped upside down seemed to have a pretty large effect
00:13:47.820
He was always challenging the societal standard.
00:13:50.320
You know, like the stuff everyone believed but never asked themselves why they believe
00:13:57.400
He was taking the red pill, which is a term based off the movie The Matrix, where you take
00:14:02.060
a pill and essentially realize the truth or realities of the world, or you take the blue
00:14:10.960
People are saying that I'm doing this red pill shit now.
00:14:13.040
I was used to read the red pill subreddit in high school when I was 17, like on a down
00:14:21.080
I just didn't talk about it as much because it was like way more risky.
00:14:23.700
But now it's like the space has opened up and I feel like I'm free to talk about it.
00:14:26.920
But it's not just something I've found out in the past four months.
00:14:33.640
But during this time, he was expressing his thoughts and emotions in a clear and calculated
00:14:40.660
And if you say that online or in a woke place, there'll be a horde of people coming
00:14:43.880
explaining to you why that's offensive because I need to pay for my brother's surgery and
00:14:48.160
Obviously, I'm not talking about those outliers.
00:14:50.140
That's like when fat people say, it's not my fault.
00:14:56.320
I respect how honest and unapologetic Sneeko is.
00:15:02.000
At this time, he was controversial to the people that didn't agree with him.
00:15:17.700
Sneeko and many others didn't like the way the world was handling the pandemic.
00:15:21.120
During the George Floyd protest, he watched his city get burned and looted.
00:15:24.520
He watched Portland build the Autonomous Zone and interviewed people who were protesting
00:15:32.900
He must be 40 and he's also a white dude talking about like, we need to take back stolen
00:15:42.000
Looting is redistribution of wealth from corporations to individuals.
00:15:53.140
It seemed like he was leaning more and more on the Republican standpoint.
00:15:59.340
You're like a fucking 70s hippie using the George Floyd protests to loot sneakers.
00:16:12.380
What are the dumbest protests of all time, man?
00:16:14.380
Maybe that's just because he wasn't praising and idolizing the liberal status quo.
00:16:21.240
If you voted for Trump, you're also kind of a bum.
00:16:23.720
I think I meant this specifically, like if you voted for Trump or Biden in New York, if
00:16:28.260
you vote in a state where it has no fucking swing or weight at all, even then, like I
00:16:32.360
still am not really convinced that voting matters at all because of the electoral college,
00:16:35.360
but just like people who invest themselves in the politics to that level, like I'm going
00:16:39.260
to vote for the bum, these people are making money off you and you're really hoping that
00:16:46.680
I would never vote for somebody in the Democratic Party because of how corrupt they are, how
00:16:50.640
phony they sound when they talk, how like uppity uppity they feel because, oh, we're
00:16:55.340
So he was kind of taking the role as a libertarian or centrist, but because of him not wanting
00:17:02.360
I used to hide that for a long time, but I didn't.
00:17:06.560
In 2020, I didn't vote, but maybe I should have voted for Kanye.
00:17:10.960
But I was, I was, I voted in New Hampshire in 2016.
00:17:14.200
For the rest of 2020 and really until today, he just kept grinding and feeding his audience
00:17:18.560
with status quo, challenging and thought-provoking content.
00:17:21.760
He became one of those YouTubers, favorite YouTuber.
00:17:29.820
That's probably going to trigger a lot of people like that.
00:17:33.460
But I've noticed this for years and Patrick CC accurately described it.
00:17:36.500
I have noticed that for, yo, so many of your favorite YouTubers, some of the most successful
00:17:40.840
ones have always been like, yeah, I kind of fuck with, and they'll never talk about
00:17:46.180
Because you're not supposed to, because I can get you canceled, blah, blah, blah.
00:17:49.340
But for years, yo, even the fact that Mr. Beast was watching my shit in the Call of
00:17:53.500
Duty era, I'm, they call that the YouTuber's favorite YouTuber.
00:17:58.560
He was like every stand-up comedian's favorite stand-up comedian.
00:18:01.660
And they never fully got the recognition they deserved.
00:18:05.460
I'm tired of being the fucking sideline, like, niche thing.
00:18:09.300
I've been doing the main channel stuff for nine years.
00:18:10.820
It's time for me to fucking, I want to get my bag too, bro.
00:18:16.020
Praised his work and respected his artistic approach to the platform despite him not being
00:18:22.520
He was approaching 1 million subscribers, but he was averaging about 200k to 500,000 views
00:18:28.240
But it was on his second channel where everything started to change.
00:18:33.140
Shneeko was the name of his other YouTube account.
00:18:38.120
In 2019, it was kind of just throwaway clips, random vlogs, and long-form podcasts that he
00:18:44.780
But in classic YouTube fashion, the glorious second channel is where things get more personal
00:18:51.960
On July 13th, 2021, he uploaded Talking Into a Camera and Uploading It to YouTube.com.
00:19:00.740
Jack, how many of you have seen my Fish Eye vlogs?
00:19:07.100
The way this shot feels like coming off a bad trip or ego death.
00:19:10.600
The four-minute vlog is literally him showing a bunch of people how cool his new lens is.
00:19:15.020
If you don't know, a Fish Eye lens gets such a wide shot that you can literally put the
00:19:18.780
camera touching your nose and still be able to see a wide picture around you.
00:19:22.700
Once he got this lens, his content got more up close and more personal than ever.
00:19:29.140
I seen Fish Eye two seconds in and I knew this was going to be a bang.
00:19:36.740
He only gets like a couple hundred views per video.
00:19:39.300
But I'm always messaging him and I really want him to succeed.
00:19:42.260
I've seen in my comment section for a while he has some good videos, Mo.
00:19:51.900
And as a creator myself, nothing boosts your confidence more than just filming your everyday
00:19:56.880
Literally going to one take this and just try to get it on camera because I don't, yeah,
00:20:02.320
I don't fucking care about anything anymore, yo.
00:20:05.440
Chet, do you remember when I posted this video?
00:20:06.920
I mean, a lot of you don't because a lot of you are new.
00:20:09.160
This was a big turning point in my philosophy on life.
00:20:23.640
I'm like, I don't fucking care about anything anymore, man.
00:20:32.140
I have a specific goal in mind and what I want to do with my content and everything
00:20:37.540
It might not seem that way because I'm like, so you think I'm going crazy all the time?
00:20:46.240
But this is a phase that a lot of people go through.
00:20:48.640
I think when they leave their religion that they grew up with, they start feeling like,
00:21:02.580
This mentality was very relatable to a lot of his audience, but it was about to change
00:21:09.120
He got into a beef with Hassan Abi, who is a massive political Twitch streamer who represents
00:21:15.080
Funny thing about these two beefing is they both really like Bernie Sanders and probably
00:21:19.140
Anyways, Hassan reacted to one of Sneeko's videos, called How to View Women, where Sneeko takes
00:21:28.580
on the role of a man who's insecure, can't talk to women, and wants to not end up like
00:21:33.840
The visuals consisted of him filming women from a distance, which was supposed to be ironic,
00:21:38.480
but it seems like Hassan didn't understand the hypothetical perspective Sneeko was creating
00:21:50.500
I am going to go and film random women and harass them.
00:21:57.500
This is when I started to decide, like, I'm like, bro, I should start streaming because
00:22:00.520
I just spent like a month straight on that video, How to View Women, a month straight scripting
00:22:05.420
it, writing it, filming it, re-editing it, filming again, like scripting more.
00:22:10.860
That video, How to View Women, is one of my favorite videos, took me a month, and then
00:22:14.140
this fucking guy goes in here, this guy's literally harassing him with his fucking stupid
00:22:18.840
painted fingernails and his fucking Jesus hair and Hawaiian shirt, and goes, this guy's
00:22:24.700
This is literally harassment with 40,000 live viewers.
00:22:29.160
So what took me a month of, like, grinding out, like, a video that I'm really proud of,
00:22:35.280
I know everybody here, dick sucks to 2018 to 2020 era, How to View Women is one of my favorite
00:22:39.580
videos of all time, but the fact that this dude could just react to it and get more money,
00:22:44.980
more attention, and just sitting here, yeah, this is harassment, this is dumb, I'm Lasanabe,
00:22:51.420
I don't like this, I like Hillary Clinton, I'm a blue pill beta, I pay my fingernails and
00:23:01.020
Like, why am I trying to make content when you could just fart shit out like this?
00:23:05.640
But I don't just want to stick to this, I'm, my main channel, don't sleep on that shit,
00:23:14.560
This is, wow, this is literally harassment, wow, incel, this is terrible, Lasanabe, shut
00:23:21.580
Obviously, Sneakos wasn't a fan of Hassan's reaction.
00:23:24.780
Hasanabe's right, yes, ha ha ha, toxic man, I don't like him, he's creepy.
00:23:29.440
But you're not, you're not saying anything about the video, you're just, you're just
00:23:40.720
He got this part of the shit too, like I was still, um, I started streaming, we were still
00:23:45.840
Basically nothing posted on YouTube can indicate.
00:23:48.340
And I've been saying red pill shit before and after my breakouts.
00:23:51.160
Like people on the internet are really dumb, and so they just, they try to like to analyze
00:23:54.760
you like a TV show, so they like look at your personal life and try to like connect the
00:24:00.420
I've been saying this shit, no matter, like my past two relationships, I was saying the
00:24:05.500
Even my past two girlfriends in the room with me, I'd be saying the same exact shit.
00:24:10.300
Like they'd be seeing, eating pretzels on the fucking bed.
00:24:12.740
I'm still, yeah, ah, women are thoughts, Kim Kardashian's brainwashing, and they're just
00:24:19.120
Like in the past two relationships, everyone's like, the breakup changed him, okay.
00:24:25.160
And that's why I want to talk to Patrick Cece, because like the amount of psychoanalyzing
00:24:28.580
going on, it's just like, it's just, I let him do it because they like it.
00:24:36.100
How things truly are, even for Sneeko, who's very open and honest about his life.
00:24:40.960
Plus, apparently it was an open relationship, and I don't really know how those work at
00:24:48.640
Like, honest, but we can assume based on what he said here, that he wasn't taking it
00:24:54.160
What I do miss about having a girlfriend is just like, you know, I'm a miserable,
00:24:59.260
And like, you hear my voice right now, I'm like, like having like a, like a, yay, woo,
00:25:13.580
Blatant, anti-feminist, no more sugarcoating, no more trying to word it nicely, just stating
00:25:20.380
But do you really don't think that they're trying to emasculate the world?
00:25:22.620
Like right here in this clip, I was still in a relationship.
00:25:31.040
I was in a relationship in this clip right here too.
00:25:33.720
And I even brought my girlfriend on this podcast.
00:25:36.760
You need to get your facts straight before you start psychoanalyzing.
00:25:39.420
Like, just meeting you for the first time, like, yeah, that guy hates women.
00:25:46.040
I feel like I'm slowly watching Sneeko turn into a villain.
00:25:51.060
He shifted to strictly reaction-based content that is clipped from live streams and made into
00:25:56.060
The way to start is when she starts doing stupid shit, say, bitch, you're acting stupid.
00:26:13.840
The reason that there's so much bullshit is because we're all just fucking making content
00:26:19.520
He would often praise the almighty alpha male Andrew Tate.
00:26:22.880
Watch my Andrew Tate videos if you want the full background.
00:26:25.340
But basically, Andrew is the single most polarizing conservative red pill alpha male guru to ever
00:26:33.160
You've got people who have egos who don't deserve it.
00:26:36.160
And you've got people who have egos who have earned it.
00:26:37.800
You've got to earn your ego or else you look like a fucking asshole.
00:26:40.220
And that's what triggers a lot of people about Tate.
00:26:41.800
And I felt the same way my whole life because I've been I felt like I've earned it.
00:26:47.280
There's no one on this planet who can do shit I couldn't do if I put my mind to it.
00:26:51.520
People text me like, oh, so you just think like you're you just like, oh, you just like
00:26:55.160
have money and you're you think you're so good looking and smart and you think you think
00:27:05.860
And this guy said, Yves said, it's cost something to send hate.
00:27:16.380
And so the people in this like the kind of attitude of this documentary is that like
00:27:25.620
Because I'm loud on a fucking YouTube live stream.
00:27:30.860
But I'll be able to play that role because the left, those type of people need someone
00:27:36.000
They need somebody to say, incel, incel, you're a loser.
00:27:42.500
They need someone to yell at because like that's just it.
00:27:50.500
But if you need somebody to cry about this guy's losing his mind.
00:28:03.400
There's a certain like the people who watch murder documentaries all day.
00:28:10.160
They'll watch an hour of something and be the whole time.
00:28:14.340
So there's probably like 6,000 people right now.
00:28:35.800
You need to get emotionally triggered by a live stream.
00:28:44.700
Now that a lot of people are finding this, they're saying, why are you just copying Tate?
00:28:50.860
People started drawing comparisons, saying that Sneeko is copying Tate, that he's obsessing
00:28:55.880
However, Sneeko has been on this red pill woke journey for years now.
00:28:59.640
And there are even some things he said back in 2015 that feel very similar to his current
00:29:04.240
I am not a feminist, and for some reason that means I'm against gender equality.
00:29:08.200
Whenever I tell people that I don't consider myself a feminist, I get the same response.
00:29:14.380
One, if that was true, it would be called humanism.
00:29:24.400
I'm glad this video came out so that, like, the record could be set straight.
00:29:27.360
I've been talking about how feminism is brainwashing people since I was 16.
00:29:31.380
Multiple other creators for seemingly no reason.
00:29:33.900
The most ridiculous of them all can be summarized very quickly, even though it went on forever.
00:29:38.420
Hamza, a well-liked self-improvement YouTuber...
00:29:43.480
...who dedicates his platform to focusing on bettering your mind and body.
00:29:50.840
Just pause it one more time so we can set the record straight.
00:30:04.880
It's gay to have your cheeks fucking center frame stretching for your 98% male audience.
00:30:16.220
You'd be like, yo, bro, bro, what are you doing?
00:30:40.360
Bro, I think you're all a little gay for liking this, bro.
00:30:51.140
Then he proceeds to react to Hamza's video, making a cringing face, insinuating how boring
00:30:56.020
it is, even though Sneeko himself made basically the same exact video just two years earlier.
00:31:00.520
Okay, two years earlier, this video was for Patreon, and I haven't made these videos
00:31:05.540
And I will also tell you that this video was fucking boring.
00:31:18.320
Come on, I don't want to see you pose and stretch, stretch all day.
00:31:27.040
I don't need your, like, preacher advice online.
00:31:29.820
It's like sitting in church for guys who need no fat.
00:31:49.920
Because I haven't regularly smoked in like a month and a week.
00:31:59.880
Hamza made a video responding to Sneeko where he was blindsided.
00:32:05.940
But in this beef, I found a clip that was very interesting.
00:32:20.640
He called me up and apologized for what he did.
00:32:46.220
But me saying that clip of like, this is just entertainment.
00:32:55.980
I'm trying to like, you know, spread truth through funny.
00:33:00.720
But the reason I got into this in the first place was because I wanted to be a comedian.
00:33:14.460
I was inspired by George Carlin, Bill Burr, Louis C.K.
00:33:18.420
Those are the people that I idolized when I was like 12.
00:33:22.100
I'm like, I want to be able to say stuff that resonates with people.
00:33:32.160
Obviously, like I'm getting to the point where there's 6,000 people in here.
00:33:34.860
I know that like you have a responsibility for your audience.
00:33:37.800
I should try to be a good role model for people.
00:33:45.660
Because there's a lot of people who need like a sense of direction or something.
00:34:00.140
The amount of people who like speculate about my relationships.
00:34:03.300
Or try to analyze my brain or whatever the fuck.
00:34:10.180
I know that because like every fucking bitch watches those documentaries.
00:34:14.380
A lot of people can't handle that because they don't like being analyzed to that level.
00:34:27.980
You're doing more work than I ever did on my homework.
00:34:34.080
Personally, if I'm investing time and energy online, I'm going to make money off of it.
00:34:39.400
You're typing a fucking comment set for, just because you, for fun.
00:34:47.080
Most people's like, but it's, it is what it is, man.
00:34:53.340
The self-aware sneaker pops up and basically hits us with the, I'm just joking.
00:34:57.760
I started to think about other popular creators.
00:35:00.020
Aiden Ross, iShowSpeed, Hasanabi, H3H3, Jideon.
00:35:03.800
The thing they all have in common is that they're almost always in controversy.
00:35:06.880
Whether it's intentional or not, they always have people talking about them, doing commentary videos, trying to cancel them.
00:35:13.080
Some are more controversial than others, and they all handle the drama differently.
00:35:16.440
But all this does is just make them more popular.
00:35:21.580
The new generation is literally becoming, like, the R word.
00:35:25.900
Woo, pride, yeah, I'm a girl and I don't shave my armpits.
00:35:30.120
Who preach this bullshit idea about tolerance, love, and acceptance will also say die if you disagree with me.
00:35:41.640
As you can imagine, TikTok was always a big vehicle for promoting his YouTube videos.
00:35:46.200
The content he makes is perfect viral TikTok material.
00:35:49.200
He started posting his stream clips on TikTok, as well as instructing his audience to clip his reactions and post them on TikTok.
00:35:57.220
Creativity Kit affiliate link is dropping one week from today on August 22nd.
00:36:01.480
August 22nd, my affiliate link for the Creativity Kit is dropping.
00:36:09.900
Only 1,000 people could join that first drop of the Creativity Kit.
00:36:13.240
I just want to focus on 1,000 people so we can have regular networking calls.
00:36:17.000
Listen, but once that shit really goes up, bro, okay, then they'll buy it.
00:36:32.300
Most of the videos that went viral were him reacting to the creator called It's Complicated,
00:36:37.400
who interviews people, mostly women, on the street asking questions about gender roles.
00:36:42.140
Sneeko would try and predict the answers of the women or react to their answers.
00:36:45.460
Who is better at self-improvement, men or women?
00:36:57.080
Let's see, like, they literally are about to be hypocrites in the first sentence.
00:37:05.060
Right, but what I'm saying is if women didn't like being approached by men,
00:37:13.220
How do nightclubs get away with charging men a higher admission fee than women isn't that sexist?
00:37:24.420
I got to pay 50 bucks and I got to pay for her?
00:37:29.640
YouTube has deleted both of my sneeko clip channels, averaging 20K views of video.
00:37:49.080
It didn't matter if it was him uploading to his personal account or other people clipping videos and posting them on their accounts.
00:37:54.960
Yo, how many TikTokers have realized how much bullshit ass censorship is on TikTok since they started posting the clips?
00:37:59.700
Bro, they take down this shit for harassment, for bullying, for fucking hurting people's feelings, for insulting the Chinese government.
00:38:06.760
His name and his message was reaching billions.
00:38:13.880
But a lot of people claim his message has been the same over the years.
00:38:19.480
Despite the controversy, his second channel on YouTube is exploding.
00:38:32.480
With a very simple and effective upload strategy.
00:38:34.880
Livestream for a few hours and clip each reaction video as a singular upload.
00:38:39.280
He has a 10 to 30 minute video uploaded to his page about five times per day.
00:38:43.600
The channel is generating about 1 million views daily.
00:38:46.480
At this rate, he will surpass his main channel in views and subscribers in roughly three months.
00:38:52.640
After uploading on my main channel for nine years, it took me like eight years to get to a million subs.
00:38:57.820
And then just to fart out stream reactions and then lap myself in a couple, like, in less, two, three months.
00:39:05.500
And with all this newfound success, he decided to launch his own social media course.
00:39:10.980
$245 for him to teach you everything he knows about making money on social media.
00:39:25.040
If you can't afford it, you can become an affiliate.
00:39:31.680
That dude has 400,000 followers from clipping up shit from my stream chat.
00:39:36.900
And even, you know, I found some dude today called Sneeko Kit on YouTube.
00:39:40.640
He's just posting YouTube shorts of my stream clips.
00:39:45.040
And he's even selling mugs and shit with my face on it.
00:39:53.640
There's no point in getting mad about that anymore.
00:39:58.000
I want you to be able to profit off of it, too.
00:40:02.660
Man, this guy got fucking 400,000 views from my stream.
00:40:06.660
Just because you know me, you think you know me because you see me talk, you're calling
00:40:10.460
it a scam because I can make money off of this.
00:40:20.000
Do you realize how many hustlers are watching this right now, ready to go and get it?
00:40:24.280
How many people are seeing this opportunity and clipping up a TikTok right now, laughing
00:40:42.240
Even if they try to take away the course, bro, we keep adding shit anyway.
00:40:46.740
I just had a Discord call with the Creativity Kid people this morning.
00:40:55.560
This shit, like, I'm really trying to build a community of people who want to start making
00:41:00.960
If you want to be one of those 1,000 people, pay attention to August 22nd.
00:41:05.420
You just heard another YouTuber, a soy boy, say that, and you're echoing it online.
00:41:32.340
When people saw this, they thought Sneeko barked up the wrong tree.
00:41:35.400
He finally ran into someone that would stand up to his behavior.
00:41:42.380
I will never forget this in my goddamn life, bro.
00:41:48.180
They are preying on my downfall every single day.
00:41:57.600
Just seemed like two random things that goes against his brand.
00:42:04.820
And I also, the misconception, I think, from Patrick and a lot of the people who saw this
00:42:18.260
WRL, if you've seen C.C. Cain's videos before, that guy's gonna become one of the biggest directors
00:42:22.540
It was for a movie that we were doing in the subway.
00:42:24.360
And I was just bored, like, while we were waiting in between shots.
00:42:27.640
I quit streaming with the f***ing stage makeup on.
00:42:30.060
And then everybody believed it, so I just ran with it.
00:42:33.600
I was just bored in the middle of a movie shoot.
00:42:39.020
It was all a stunt to prove the power of social media.
00:42:42.360
To prove that everything we see and watch online is fake and manipulated.
00:42:46.320
The people who cared about him will no longer believe him if anything goes wrong in the future.
00:42:50.300
And the people who hated him before just said he had to fake a fight to get views.
00:43:11.440
He gained thousands of followers, thousands of subscribers, which is-
00:43:19.520
Keemstar tweeted like it put it on drama alert.
00:43:29.740
Sneeko spent years making high quality, professionally produced and edited content.
00:43:35.480
It was objective, it was sincere, and thought-provoking.
00:43:39.180
It took him seven years to reach 1 million subscribers while doing that.
00:43:43.640
Along the way, he gained respect, notoriety, and a career on the internet.
00:43:50.120
A shift in social media where he knew exactly how to act.
00:43:57.220
Respect, notoriety, and a career on the internet.
00:44:02.240
A shift in social media where he knew exactly how to act.
00:44:05.340
Exactly what to say to amass a large following in a very short period of time.
00:44:09.560
Reacting to other people's videos, shouting, screaming, being bold and-
00:44:17.620
It's probably going to have him build a bigger following, a stronger following, and maybe even
00:44:21.780
make more money than he ever has in a way shorter period of time.
00:44:25.520
Maybe he's claiming this is all entertainment so he doesn't have to take accountability.
00:44:31.420
Like, maybe he's just like yelling and screaming and saying it's entertainment because I don't
00:44:41.140
People think that being loud and being boisterous and not giving a fuck and going, stupid!
00:44:48.160
They think that there's something wrong with that.
00:44:50.680
At the end of the day, this is a fucking live stream.
00:44:55.020
Do you want me to say, oh, here's the right opinion, boo-boo-boo-boo?
00:44:57.640
So he thinks, this is the mentality, he thinks that I need to take accountability.
00:45:03.100
Or like that I'm doing something wrong by being loud.
00:45:06.380
That's the bullshit that men have to put up with now.
00:45:10.500
If you don't care, if you just like act, if I'm being honest and yelling and being loud
00:45:14.820
and just like acting impulsive on a live stream, that's problematic.
00:45:25.600
And I'm supposed to take accountability for that.
00:45:48.660
I just want to make simple, well-edited, week-long, month-long edited videos and say the right opinion.
00:45:58.600
And I promise I will never trigger anyone again.
00:46:04.240
And Twitter, you were right to celebrate my death.
00:46:46.620
Patrick, I know you didn't mean anything by that.
00:46:48.180
But that's the dumbass Matrix shit that we all have to put up with.
00:46:56.340
He's just following and maybe even make more money than he ever has in a way shorter period of time.
00:47:02.260
Maybe he's claiming this is all entertainment so he doesn't have to take accountability.
00:47:08.220
Maybe he's just copying another man's successful strategy.
00:47:10.980
Or maybe he is actually going through something.
00:47:17.360
No matter how long he drags on this new persona.
00:47:20.360
He knows that if he makes one video apologizing for his spastic behavior.
00:47:24.380
That everything can go back to the way things were before.
00:47:34.360
It's just me trying to be entertaining on a stream.
00:47:40.160
No matter how long he drags on this new persona.
00:47:42.440
He knows that if he makes one video apologizing for his spastic behavior.
00:47:46.180
That everything can go back to the way things were before.
00:47:59.340
Why should you have to apologize for your spastic behavior?
00:48:23.300
Should I apologize or should we just not give a fuck?
00:49:09.320
You like this new little fucking pop-up thing right here?
00:49:22.040
It was really well made and he did a good job explaining my story and my truth.
00:49:32.260
I want to get him on Discord real quick so we can talk.
00:50:15.100
You're here like telling me to type in my shit.
00:50:23.500
John, have you seen any of his other videos before?
00:50:31.300
He does a lot of these like breakdowns and documentaries.
00:50:43.160
I got another Discord call that I want to get into.
00:50:52.800
I'm supposed to have an interview with Tristan this week.
00:52:08.640
I think my voice is nasally and annoying, but...
00:52:17.740
Today we're gonna watch Bill Nye the Science Guy.
00:52:24.220
All right, Patrick, you're creeping me out now.
00:53:41.420
I swear, I'm just trying to get this fucking camera on.
00:53:54.540
It's all right if you didn't put your makeup on, bro.
00:54:11.540
So how long did it take you to make that documentary?
00:54:14.180
I've seen it probably like 10 times, to be honest with you.
00:54:24.200
But that was good clickbait, because that's what everybody's saying.
00:54:26.720
So I thought it was another white dude calling me crazy.
00:54:32.960
Do you think I did a pretty decent job at being objective?
00:54:44.220
Which is probably the best position to take for a documentary.
00:54:47.900
Um, how many other videos of mine have you watched?
00:55:01.280
But yeah, the documentaries, they're really good.
00:55:19.460
But I think I was kind of diving into your brand and everything for multiple, for multiple
00:55:34.480
So, you, but you've been watching since, like, 2018?
00:55:41.380
I mean, I would definitely consider some of the stuff that you've done inspirational to
00:55:46.960
I think when I was saying YouTuber's favorite YouTuber, I think I was kind of, not that you
00:55:52.400
were my favorite YouTuber, but, um, I noticed that a lot of people, there was always, like,
00:56:00.260
And I was always, like, yeah, like, there's something different about this guy.
00:56:04.680
And the way that you were so open and transparent was, a lot of people don't realize how difficult
00:56:17.520
You need to, you need to be, I guess you do need to be a little crazy to not give a fuck
00:56:21.720
Like, you, you've seen in your comment section, I didn't react to it on stream, but, like,
00:56:25.360
bro, isn't that shit kind of eye-opening how many people are, like, psychoanalyzing me?
00:56:30.260
Yeah, and, you know, I noticed that, like, in your reaction, you were, you know, seemingly
00:56:37.980
Not upset, but you were just, like, he's trying to psychoanalyze, but I don't necessarily think
00:56:43.800
I think, like, I really just try to tell a story, and if you were more familiar with
00:56:49.540
Like, and for, for making it seem, like, dark or whatever, that's just kind of, like,
00:56:59.200
Like you said, with the murder mysteries, bro, like, people eat that shit up.
00:57:01.680
With the intense music, and, like, suddenly his breakup, and then his creator kit, dun,
00:57:11.980
It's funny because, it's funny because young Don, when he reacted to it, he's like, man,
00:57:17.060
I don't like the way you fucking said that, and I was like, I didn't say anything, I just
00:57:20.400
put some creepy music behind it and just explained the course, you know, but I get, I get, I get
00:57:27.240
why, like, people would take it the wrong way, if you're not familiar with the videos,
00:57:31.800
but if you know that I kind of do that every time, then it, like, it just makes a lot of
00:57:39.860
Sometimes, like, you're trying to make it seem darker, or, you know, scarier than it
00:57:46.300
is, but it doesn't always work, but unfortunately, man, I wish I could just say, oh, everything
00:57:53.280
is positive and happy, and put happy music, but people won't watch it.
00:57:58.200
Yeah, people like, people like the emotional investment.
00:58:01.620
I think, I was listening to myself talk while I was, I think I made it, I had a good take
00:58:07.740
And now, people like to get triggered by stuff like that.
00:58:10.340
They like to dislike, they kind of like to hate.
00:58:13.120
I was wondering how much you meant that at the end, that saying that I could, all I could
00:58:16.820
do is just apologize, and I could all go back to him.
00:58:18.680
Is that something that you believe, or were you saying that for the comment section?
00:58:23.940
So, I always try to provide a neutral perspective.
00:58:27.400
Like, I always try to say, like, if I say one thing, I'll try to say the opposite, on the
00:58:35.840
I mean, like, if you, I mean, yeah, you could totally just be like, yo, I was, like, for
00:58:45.680
whatever reason, you could just be like, yeah, chat, like, I was tripping.
00:59:01.280
Maybe some people would be like, no, we want you to fuck shit up again.
00:59:07.980
So, what do you think that I should apologize for?
00:59:12.660
I don't think you need to apologize for anything.
00:59:14.740
I think you, I mean, you're clearly very calculated in what you're doing, and it seems like you
00:59:25.700
very much believe in what you're doing, and I don't think you need to apologize.
00:59:31.460
I'm just saying, like, I was just providing the other perspective of the people that might
00:59:40.060
Do you feel like you get to fully say everything that you want to say in your videos, or do
00:59:44.660
you think that people say the YouTuber's favorite YouTuber because I'm saying stuff
00:59:58.160
You're not really offering your point of view as much as rather trying to tell the story.
01:00:02.420
How do you feel like your point of view is suppressed or not suppressed?
01:00:11.260
So, I do think that people watch you, or, you know, I guess I'm not going to point out
01:00:18.920
a specific creator, but I do think that people want to watch you and sort of indulge in your
01:00:26.200
And I think that maybe people might even try to associate with you for that reason, because
01:00:38.220
And, you know, I take the objective side because I just think that's the most...
01:00:43.520
Like, whenever I want information, I just want it given to me so I can make an opinion.
01:00:49.080
So, now it's really hard, a lot of the times, to just be objective, because there are people
01:00:57.260
You know, like, if you don't give them an opinion, or if you don't at least say both
01:01:00.420
sides, they won't even know why the fuck they're getting this information.
01:01:06.860
But doesn't that make everything too polarized?
01:01:13.620
I mean, I think that people making strong opinions is good, as long as there's a balance, you
01:01:21.360
Well, I didn't say it in this video, but I made, like, kind of a...
01:01:26.500
I made, like, this other video where I think that it's a relief that somebody like yourself
01:01:38.460
But it's nice to see guys like you and Tate, because it's a balance to what the liberal
01:01:52.100
I don't really identify, but I would say, actually, prop centrist, maybe even a little
01:02:02.320
I just found it a little surprising that you said that I can apologize.
01:02:12.020
Like, do you think that I'm playing a character?
01:02:14.920
Or do you think that all of this is just, like, something calculated beforehand?
01:02:18.900
Like, I'm making strategic moves with what I talk about?
01:02:22.280
Because you're saying, like, oh, you could just apologize.
01:02:28.740
You're seeing that from a very YouTuber perspective, as if everything here is just content.
01:02:40.780
Like, well, I think that that's the other thing to factor.
01:02:51.460
And I think that I don't ever really trust anything fully that I see online, right?
01:02:57.320
Because that's just kind of, like, the nature of it, right?
01:03:03.920
Most people are not truly putting out themselves and who they really are.
01:03:07.420
So I just assume that that's what most people are doing.
01:03:17.400
And, you know, you go on a live stream, like, every single day.
01:03:27.500
I mean, when Young Don react, he was like, nah, this is fucking Sneeko.
01:03:36.480
Like, I mean, I'll take his word for that because he knows you.
01:03:45.700
I just kind of take everything with a, you know, with a grain of salt.
01:04:01.600
I think you take the perspective of a guy in the comment section instead of like...
01:04:09.880
In my opinion, I think you could have made the documentary relating to me a lot more than it came off of.
01:04:16.340
But the way you were analyzing and the way that you were like predicting the future of what I'm doing seemed like some comment section point of view.
01:04:24.900
And which is good because it makes it, it gives a more mass appeal.
01:04:30.240
And I guess it's more objective and it's more digestible for everybody.
01:04:34.900
And people like to be, oh my God, he's just selling a course.
01:04:38.160
But at the same time, I think you could have seen where I'm coming from on a more personal level.
01:04:48.500
But it probably made the documentary better the way you did it.
01:04:52.120
Yeah, so there, yeah, there's, I mean, there's, I get what you're saying.
01:04:56.200
I guess maybe I would, I would be interested to know a little bit more.
01:05:00.960
Like if you could explain a little deeper on what do you mean by like, I guess like what would be a more acceptable or what do you think just a better outro would have been?
01:05:14.640
I like the cliffhanger, but this is just like a personal thing.
01:05:17.240
I can't, I can't accurately say this because it's like, I'm consuming like a documentary about myself.
01:05:29.860
I know your chat, go sell out to Patrick CC, make some of the best documentaries on YouTube.
01:05:36.540
He was like wondering if he should switch to Netflix.
01:05:40.540
YouTube is where it's at for now until Susan bans me.
01:05:44.060
Yeah, I think that, I think that basically what you just said with it being more like mass appealing and broadly appealing.
01:05:53.160
I think like you say you didn't like that, but that was actually like a compliment to me.
01:06:06.660
It leaves that mystery of like, what's going to happen next?
01:06:08.920
In future documentaries, I want to hear more of your own opinion rather than just mass appeal.
01:06:13.480
I think you should, you could do both and you could probably could add another 10 minutes if you digested it.
01:06:17.940
Not just from like the comment section point of view, but also yours personally.
01:06:24.460
Let me ask you this now, because these two things are kind of conflicting and I really am interested in your opinion.
01:06:29.560
So, you know, you're on your, you're on your, uh, your entrepreneur grind and, and so am I, you know, I like money.
01:06:39.600
And, uh, you know, leaving my opinion out is one of the best financial decisions I could really make because it's gonna, once people hear my opinion,
01:06:51.860
they'll probably start clicking off the video, especially if I put it at the end, which makes more sense, right?
01:06:57.060
Like once I already gave you the information, like, okay, maybe 50% of the people only care about my opinion.
01:07:07.400
So is it, am I compromising my dollar or am I compromising my, I guess, freedom of speech?
01:07:18.660
You're compromising your freedom of speech, but there's a way to tie it.
01:07:22.140
Like the, my favorite documentaries, like there's a really good documentary called the red pill where this girl, this feminist, a former actress goes into the men's rights community.
01:07:30.840
And then she starts, she goes in ready to expose like how incel and toxic they are.
01:07:35.860
But as she goes to more meetings and talks to these red pill guys, she actually realizes she was wrong.
01:07:40.800
She realizes that men are the oppressed in the West and she completely flips her feminist shit.
01:07:45.360
This came out in 2007 and it's really captivating because she's, she has a personal touch on a, on a real problem.
01:07:54.560
I think those are my favorite documentaries where the documentary inserts themselves just enough.
01:08:01.380
Like just enough, but not where they're just trying to make themselves the star of the show.
