SNEAKO - The Dark Truth About SteveWillDoIt

00:00:00 Patrick CC, the truth about Steve will do it.

00:00:02 It dropped seven hours ago.

00:00:03 You think it's going to be a hit piece?

00:00:04 I think it's going to be slightly positive.

00:00:06 Patrick CC is like the only based documentarian

00:00:08 that doesn't just try to slander you

00:00:10 and actually like sees the good

00:00:11 in what creators talk about.

00:00:13 There's this like new trend on YouTube

00:00:14 where if you don't get any views

00:00:16 and you don't have any unique personality

00:00:18 or you don't want to inspire people at all,

00:00:19 all you do is make documentaries about other people

00:00:21 like the downfall of Lil Pump,

00:00:24 the devastating demise of Lil Tay Tay.

00:00:27 It's just like, who cares?

00:00:28 But people like to watch drama.

00:00:29 They're like, ooh, this person failed.

00:00:32 Gave away over $1 million in cash,

00:00:34 32 cars, 52 watches, and three houses

00:00:38 before having his channel permanently deleted by YouTube.

00:00:42 His Mr. Beast level generosity

00:00:44 earned him 1 million subscribers

00:00:46 in his first month making content,

00:00:48 one of the fastest growing YouTube channels in history.

00:00:51 But Steve is nothing like Mr. Beast

00:00:53 and YouTube executives are not fond of his business practices.

00:00:58 From drinking challenges and illegal substance challenges

00:01:02 to meetings with Donald Trump

00:01:04 and promoting offshore gambling casinos,

00:01:06 YouTube wanted him off their platform forever.

00:01:09 But the reason they did it is so small,

00:01:11 it's almost unbelievable,

00:01:13 leading us to realize that Steve's story

00:01:15 is a scary warning sign for all creators.

00:01:18 Steven Delanartes has always been the guy

00:01:21 who will do what it takes to get your attention.

00:01:23 His first YouTube channel started in 2012

00:01:25 shows him attempting the cinnamon challenge

00:01:27 in his friend's backyard.

00:01:29 Yep.

00:01:30 Look at him, a man of God.

00:01:35 Try swallowing it, try swallowing it, swallow it!

00:01:37 One year later, he randomly met one of his YouTube idols,

00:01:41 Shoe Nice,

00:01:42 and challenged him to a burger eating contest.

00:01:45 Steve was constantly testing his body.

00:01:49 Hey, you remember Shoe Nice?

00:01:51 Body's limits.

00:01:52 After dad-

00:01:52 Shoe Nice used to just chug bottles of everything

00:01:54 and then he ended up kind of going crazy.

00:01:55 Dabbling in bodybuilding competitions in high school,

00:01:58 meeting his girlfriend,

00:01:59 and going through the typical teenage party phase,

00:02:01 he was desperate to make something of his life.

00:02:04 At one point, I was like, enough is enough.

00:02:07 Like, I just wanted to do- 0.77

00:02:08 I wanted to f***ing be something.

00:02:11 That's when I started making Instagram videos again.

00:02:14 In April of 2017,

00:02:15 the infamous Steve Will Do It Instagram account was created.

00:02:18 His friend, Alyssa Wilson,

00:02:20 actually made the account for him

00:02:21 and even came up with the alias, Steve Will Do It,

00:02:24 and he would truly live up to his name.

00:02:26 From downing bottles of hot sauce with no hands

00:02:28 to eating chewing tobacco on tortilla chips,

00:02:31 Steve was punishing himself for other people's entertainment.

00:02:35 But two months after starting his new career,

00:02:37 he was arrested in Florida at the age of 18,

00:02:39 charged with possession of marijuana,

00:02:41 possession or use of drug equipment,

00:02:43 and knowingly driving while license suspended.

00:02:46 He disappeared from Instagram. 0.99

00:02:47 Yo, he drives fast as f***, bro. 0.98

00:02:49 He has like 12 different cars. 0.98

00:02:51 Every day we go to the gym, he's in a new car.

00:02:53 I'm like, oh, he's like,

00:02:54 this is a Porsche 9 1700 Turbo S.

00:02:57 I'm like, bro, I just got my Hellcat.

00:02:59 Yeah, he's like, oh, this is 1,200 horsepower.

00:03:00 Yeah, I just got this one.

00:03:02 Yeah, oh, this is, uh,

00:03:03 and he's there like the convertible thing.

00:03:06 It's going up and we're going through traffic.

00:03:08 I got my Hellcat up pretty fast,

00:03:09 but he's just zipped.

00:03:10 I'm like, okay, bro.

00:03:12 Okay, we get it, we get it, we get it.

00:03:13 Then a few months later,

00:03:14 Steve was arrested again at the age of 19 years old,

00:03:17 this time for possession of marijuana with intent to sell,

00:03:20 possession of drug equipment and resisting arrest.

00:03:23 He was now on probation and his life was spiraling down.

00:03:27 Steve Will Do It is making a comeback.

00:03:28 Can people request things for me to do anything but liquor?

00:03:31 Eager to get his life back on track,

00:03:33 he remained consistent with his crazy challenge videos,

00:03:36 even though they were only being posted to a few hundred followers.

00:03:39 But one of those followers was about to change his life.

00:03:42 Steve, the story with him, I think my boy, uh,

00:03:44 my boy, Matt, who ran the full Send IG.

00:03:47 Okay.

00:03:48 Um, I think he sent me, or Lucas, or both of them,

00:03:51 they sent me like a video of Steve and he was chugging Jack.

00:03:54 This is Leia's studio.

00:03:55 Jack Daniels on his driveway.

00:03:57 Like, like a full. 0.99

00:03:59 Disgusting. 0.86

00:03:59 I think it was like a 2-6. 0.93

00:04:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.92

00:04:01 It's disgusting.

00:04:01 Like, what?

00:04:02 Yeah, yeah.

00:04:03 Like, I saw that and he's just on his driveway

00:04:05 and he just pounds the whole 2-6.

00:04:06 And I was like, 0.95

00:04:07 I've never seen that in my f***ing life. 0.84

00:04:10 Kyle Forgard was one half of the YouTube channel Nelk, 0.92

00:04:14 which in 2018 was already over 1 million subscribers.

00:04:17 Not only were they known for being viral pranksters,

00:04:19 their brand and slogan, Full Send,

00:04:21 was based around the idea of being reckless,

00:04:23 heavy, drinking, partying, and living a fast-paced lifestyle.

00:04:28 So when Kyle discovered Steve,

00:04:29 he knew he would fit right in with the Nelk.

00:04:31 Yeah, hanging out with the Nelk boys is strange 1.00

00:04:33 because I've watched every single one of their videos.

00:04:37 Every single one.

00:04:38 I love the channel.

00:04:39 And then, like, I'm there on New Year's with Kyle,

00:04:42 stuff like that.

00:04:43 I talk to Salim every day.

00:04:44 It's really weird, like,

00:04:46 when you start to get into this creator space

00:04:49 and you start hanging out with the people that you watch.

00:04:52 It's pretty surreal.

00:04:53 Boys, just a few months after their first DM exchange,

00:04:57 in late 2018, Steve made his first appearance

00:04:59 on the Nelk channel in a video called

00:05:02 Drinking in Lectures Prank.

00:05:03 And we want to introduce you to one of our boys.

00:05:05 Steve will do it.

00:05:06 What's up?

00:05:06 Good, baby.

00:05:07 What's up, man?

00:05:07 Nelk fans immediately latched onto Steve. 0.99

00:05:10 They loved his genuine smile

00:05:11 and willingness to do anything.

00:05:13 He started to play a larger role

00:05:15 with each video he appeared in,

00:05:17 helping Nelk create more viral videos like

00:05:19 We Completely Ruined a Wine Tour in Italy

00:05:21 that has close to 10 million views to date,

00:05:24 where Steve infamously slammed a bottle of wine

00:05:26 and dove across a table,

00:05:28 shattering every glass along the way.

00:05:30 I mean, El Hedonism,

00:05:31 but this video, I told Kyle,

00:05:33 this is, like, literally one of the funniest videos

00:05:35 I've ever seen on YouTube.

00:05:36 In under one year,

00:05:37 Steve Will Do It gained 1 million followers on Instagram,

00:05:40 making underage drinking videos on probation.

00:05:43 At this point, he was too popular

00:05:44 to just be a side character on the Nelk Boys channel.

00:05:47 Listen up and get ready.

00:05:49 Steve Will Do It is starting his own YouTube channel.

00:05:52 The Steve Will Do It YouTube channel

00:05:54 was created on May 30th, 2019.

00:05:56 And thanks to Nelk's cult fan base,

00:05:59 he had over 415...

00:06:00 Look, okay, Steve Will Do It got canceled

00:06:02 and came over to Wumble,

00:06:04 but he started in 2019 and got canceled in 2022.

00:06:07 Like, three years. 1.00

00:06:09 Bro, I was in this shit. 0.96

00:06:10 I created the Sneeko channel 2013, chat. 0.96

00:06:14 2013.

00:06:17 That's...

00:06:18 I grew up...

00:06:19 My life was on that channel.

00:06:22 You don't...

00:06:23 Come on, man.

00:06:23 415,000 subscribers in the first three days alone.

00:06:26 Dude, check the stats.

00:06:29 415,000 subscribers in three days, bro.

00:06:32 That's insane.

00:06:34 And his first video went number one trending on YouTube.

00:06:37 Unlike the typical Nelk vlogs and prank videos,

00:06:39 he would kick off his channel the same way

00:06:41 he started his Instagram page back in 2017,

00:06:44 with extreme and potentially dangerous

00:06:46 drinking and eating challenges.

00:06:48 I ate 4,500 milligrams of THC edibles,

00:06:51 attempting to eat 30 burgers

00:06:53 at In-N-Out,

00:06:54 the world's biggest joint challenge.

00:06:55 In one month,

00:06:56 Steve Will Do It hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube,

00:06:59 making him one of the fastest growing channels in YouTube.

00:07:02 So it took him a month.

00:07:03 You know how long it took me to get to a million subs?

00:07:04 What was it like, chat?

00:07:05 Like nine years? 1.00

00:07:06 It was a stupid amount of time. 1.00

00:07:08 History. 0.99

00:07:09 But Steve's content was far from the advertiser-friendly videos

00:07:12 that YouTube wanted on their platform,

00:07:14 making him an easy target for demonetization

00:07:16 and strikes from the very start.

00:07:18 In fact, it wouldn't take long at all

00:07:20 for his videos to start being taken down.

00:07:22 They don't let me post what I want.

00:07:24 Like I posted a video of me drinking beer

00:07:26 and it got 2.5 million views like that.

00:07:30 It was actually very quickly.

00:07:31 And then I posted a video of me drinking a bunch of wine

00:07:33 and then they deleted that video

00:07:35 and my beer video.

00:07:37 Even with the extreme success

00:07:38 his channel experienced early on,

00:07:40 it didn't make sense for Steve

00:07:41 to continue uploading videos

00:07:43 just for them to get removed a few days later.

00:07:45 He needed to adapt,

00:07:46 but he had a plan.

00:07:47 And in 2020,

00:07:48 we would be introduced to the new Steve Will Do It.

00:07:52 Steve Will Do It is changing lives

00:07:54 with car and cash giveaways.

00:07:57 Steve abandoned the crazy challenges

00:07:58 and took the David Dobrik slash MrBeast approach to YouTube,

00:08:02 gifting his friends and family cars and jewelry,

00:08:04 giving away tens of thousands of dollars to single moms,

00:08:07 showing up to dealerships and buying cars for veterans,

00:08:10 blessing kids in underprivileged areas with cash,

00:08:13 and giving away $100,000 to strangers in Mexico.

00:08:16 He separated himself from the Nelk Boys around this time too. 1.00

00:08:19 Leaving LA and purchasing a $3 million penthouse in Miami

00:08:22 meant he could no longer appear

00:08:24 in all their prank videos and vlogs.

00:08:26 It's pretty wild how successful Steve's videos were

00:08:28 because he didn't really have any concepts.

00:08:31 It was just a weekly lifestyle vlog

00:08:32 where 50% of the content was him giving away stuff

00:08:35 and each video would get a few million views.

00:08:37 But YouTube didn't like Steve's presence on their platform.

00:08:40 Chad, what do you think is the reason why then?

00:08:42 Was it his association with Trump?

00:08:44 Because I don't really think it's the hedonism,

00:08:46 it's the gambling or what is the reason

00:08:49 that they were actively trying to censor him so much?

00:08:51 In the same videos where he would do extremely generous acts,

00:08:53 he was smoking, going to the club with rapper 6ix9ine and gambling.

00:08:57 There are plenty of music videos on YouTube

00:08:59 that portray the exact same lifestyle

00:09:01 and are even more graphic and those are fully monetized.

00:09:05 Which makes no sense.

00:09:06 Why do they allow everything in hip hop

00:09:08 that they don't allow in the world?

00:09:09 Generating hundreds of millions of views

00:09:11 but that is considered art.

00:09:13 If a vlogger does it,

00:09:14 it's considered not suitable for advertisers.

00:09:17 As a result, Steve was not making any money.

00:09:20 Is it the fact that he's,

00:09:21 that it's inspiring in a vlog

00:09:23 that someone sees that like,

00:09:24 oh, that's a lifestyle I can live.

00:09:26 Whereas hip hop,

00:09:26 it's more just glorified as like something unattainable.

00:09:29 ...directly from YouTube's partner program.

00:09:31 But he was getting at least six figure brand deals per video.

00:09:34 We have, we have offers from two companies that we actually,

00:09:39 you know, we love.

00:09:40 And there's six figure deals for YouTube advertisement.

00:09:45 But many people, including myself,

00:09:46 were wondering the whole time how he got so much money.

00:09:49 Private jets, massive giveaways.

00:09:51 He was...

00:09:52 Gambling money.

00:09:54 Jack, gambling money hits different.

00:09:57 And I, you've, I've been offered that.

00:09:59 Type of one,

00:10:00 if I should take a gambling deal.

00:10:02 Type of two, if I shouldn't.

00:10:04 Because it's tempting,

00:10:05 but I'd rather do,

00:10:06 you know,

00:10:08 the godly way or whatever.

00:10:10 You know,

00:10:10 like, just let me do,

00:10:11 let me avoid all type of allegations or whatever.

00:10:16 One,

00:10:16 if I should take a gambling deal for a bunch of bread,

00:10:18 two, if I shouldn't.

00:10:19 Clearly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:10:21 And with his channel being demonetized,

00:10:23 it wasn't blatantly obvious how he was so wealthy.

00:10:26 How was Steve Will Do It making his money?

00:10:28 Gambling.

00:10:29 Look at all the twos in the chat.

00:10:30 Okay.

00:10:30 All right.

00:10:31 You guys.

00:10:31 Yeah.

00:10:34 Okay.

00:10:35 Fine.

00:10:36 Fine.

00:10:36 But then I released a course

00:10:38 and look at this website map.

00:10:40 And then people were like,

00:10:41 what?

00:10:42 What are you trying to?

00:10:44 It's a pyramid scheme, man.

00:10:45 What?

00:10:46 It's $50.

00:10:47 And I'm in there three times a week.

00:10:50 I have millionaire professor

00:10:51 that I took so long to vet

00:10:53 and everything like that.

00:10:54 This is, I think,

00:10:55 is a good thing.

00:10:55 It's teaching people how to make money online.

00:10:58 But then for some people

00:10:59 get all butt mad about this too.

00:11:01 I mean,

00:11:01 to be honest though,

00:11:02 people are going to get butt mad about everything.

00:11:03 But check out the website, man.

00:11:05 Look at that.

00:11:06 Just took a long time to make.

00:11:10 Oh, look at all these different wealth creations,

00:11:12 TikTok, virality, web design,

00:11:14 e-commerce, sales and branding.

00:11:15 And we have a crypto professor.

00:11:17 It's all the ways to make money.

00:11:18 But people,

00:11:19 the truth is,

00:11:22 the truth is,

00:11:23 people don't like to know how you make money.

00:11:26 They want you to just make it.

00:11:27 They just want to watch it

00:11:28 and get the advertiser money.

00:11:29 But I think that's worse.

00:11:31 I think that's worse

00:11:31 because if it's free,

00:11:33 then you're the product.

00:11:34 And if you're constantly being advertised at

00:11:37 by the ads that Google prefers,

00:11:40 then you're going to be spending more money 1.00

00:11:43 on stupid materialistic shit. 1.00

00:11:45 You're going to be always in the mall. 1.00

00:11:46 You're going to be more distracting.

00:11:48 Ooh,

00:11:48 they're going to be spying on you.

00:11:49 You're going to say the word vacuum

00:11:50 and then it's going to pop up.

00:11:52 Ad money, 1.00

00:11:52 like nobody will complain about that shit. 1.00

00:11:54 The left is like, 1.00

00:11:55 well,

00:11:55 you're not doing a scam.

00:11:57 But I think it's worse.

00:11:59 I think it's worse.

00:12:00 We do know that Full Send

00:12:10 featured a collection

00:12:11 of Steve Will Do It branded apparel

00:12:13 around 2019.

00:12:14 And according to the New York Times,

00:12:16 Nelk sold $50 million

00:12:17 in Full Send merchandise in 2020

00:12:19 and could surpass $70 million in 2021.

00:12:22 So he probably made a decent chunk of revenue

00:12:24 before distancing himself from Nelk.

00:12:27 We also know that he helped them

00:12:28 launch their happy dad,

00:12:29 hard seltzer brand.

00:12:30 There are no official numbers released,

00:12:32 but they have had a really hard time

00:12:33 keeping up with demand.

00:12:35 Liquor stores are selling out

00:12:36 of all of their inventory

00:12:37 within hours of stocking shelves.

00:12:39 It's very possible happy dad

00:12:40 is generating tens,

00:12:42 if not hundreds of millions

00:12:43 of dollars in sales.

00:12:44 If Steve even has a small percentage

00:12:46 of ownership,

00:12:47 that's big money.

00:12:48 But just before Steve's demise,

00:12:50 a questionable sponsor popped up 0.78

00:12:52 and took the internet by storm.

00:12:53 Rubet.

00:12:55 By the way,

00:12:56 make sure you're drinking water.

00:12:58 Yes.

00:12:59 That's five free spins, baby. 0.99

00:13:03 In 2021,

00:13:04 Steve turned an addiction

00:13:05 into one of his biggest sources of income,

00:13:07 thanks to a sponsorship

00:13:08 with the offshore crypto casino,

00:13:10 Rubet.

00:13:11 Alongside the likes of Aiden Ross,

00:13:13 Faze Banks,

00:13:13 Ricegum,

00:13:14 and the rest of the Nelk boys.

00:13:16 Look, everyone's doing a chat.

00:13:17 Everyone's doing it.

00:13:18 And you're like,

00:13:18 oh no, no, no,

00:13:19 you can't do it.

00:13:20 Okay.

00:13:21 All right.

00:13:22 All right.

00:13:23 Steve was now flying out to Mexico,

00:13:25 since it was illegal in the United States,

00:13:27 to gamble on the website

00:13:28 and stream it for his millions of fans.

00:13:30 Winning and losing up to hundreds of thousands of dollars

00:13:32 in each session,

00:13:33 it was hard for viewers to look away.

00:13:35 This only increased the popularity of Rubet,

00:13:38 who paid Steve big time money.

00:13:40 After accidentally pulling up a conversation

00:13:42 with another crypto casino on his stream,

00:13:44 Aiden Ross leaked that they were making

00:13:45 more than $1.4 million a month.

00:13:50 You offered $1.4 million and didn't want to cover expenses.

00:13:53 Rubet covering expenses.

00:13:55 Let's get a referral code.

00:13:56 $1.4 million a month?

00:14:01 BUMBUCKA! 0.99

00:14:02 Wow!

00:14:04 Look at that hedonistic money chat.

00:14:08 That's the demon temptation right there.

00:14:10 Month from Rubet.

00:14:11 Plus, these influencers were profiting off referral codes.

00:14:14 The more viewers they got to sign up,

00:14:16 gamble, and lose money on the site,

00:14:18 the more money they made.

00:14:19 Steve allegedly wasn't even gambling

00:14:21 with his own money at the time either.

00:14:22 Instead, using a fake currency provided by Rubet.

00:14:26 If I started putting my own money in this,

00:14:28 I feel like I could...

00:14:30 I feel like if I just filled myself with $4,000,

00:14:33 it's like, right?

00:14:34 You got $32 million.

00:14:36 Oh, baby.

00:14:37 Like, I feel like I could, like...

00:14:39 But also, it could be dangerous.

00:14:41 But I see it as there's no point

00:14:43 in putting my body or your mind

00:14:44 through that type of stress.

00:14:46 I don't need it.

00:14:47 You definitely don't need that, bro.

00:14:49 Steve basically admitted here

00:14:51 that he's not using his own money,

00:14:52 and he could never imagine himself doing that.

00:14:55 So with no risk, Steve was driving...

00:14:57 Yeah, it's all advertisement.

00:14:59 It's just...

00:14:59 It's one...

00:15:00 It's one big scam.

00:15:02 ...young fans towards

00:15:03 one of the most addictive vices on earth,

00:15:05 making potentially millions of dollars

00:15:07 a month in the process.

00:15:08 However, he was using this same sponsorship money

00:15:11 to give back to people in need.

00:15:12 This was an ethical dilemma

00:15:14 that would set the internet on fire,

00:15:16 especially after CoffeeZilla

00:15:17 and some ordinary gamers

00:15:18 released a five-part series

00:15:20 exposing Steve and Rubet.

00:15:22 Ending with Steve getting on the phone

00:15:23 with CoffeeZilla

00:15:24 and admitting that he has a gambling problem,

00:15:26 and that gambling problem is not good.

00:15:28 And then you're making

00:15:29 the majority of your money

00:15:31 from getting other people to gamble

00:15:34 while you yourself

00:15:36 don't really want to do it anymore.

00:15:38 Like, isn't that kind of like a problem?

00:15:40 Yo, this guy's a professional pocket watcher, though.

00:15:43 Um, it's definitely...

00:15:46 It could be a problem

00:15:47 because gambling's not good.

00:15:48 But just like most internet controversy,

00:15:50 this blew over relatively quick.

00:15:52 And in 2022,

00:15:54 Steve and many others

00:15:55 were back online gambling

00:15:56 with a new crypto casino,

00:15:58 Steak.

00:15:59 With megastars like Drake

00:16:00 partnered with the company,

00:16:01 Steak quickly became

00:16:02 one of the biggest crypto casinos

00:16:04 in the world,

00:16:05 opening the door for influencers

00:16:06 who caught heat from the Rubet scandal.

00:16:08 At this point in 2022,

00:16:10 the Steve Will Do It YouTube channel

00:16:12 was doing better than ever.

00:16:13 He was just shy of 5 million subscribers,

00:16:15 the giveaways and vlogs kept getting bigger,

00:16:17 and Steve was now sponsored by Steak,

00:16:20 making a killing.

00:16:20 His second channel was also doing well.

00:16:22 After streaming himself gambling on Twitch,

00:16:24 Steve would post clips of his streams

00:16:26 to his second channel,

00:16:27 which is completely allowed

00:16:28 and nothing out of the norm.

00:16:29 However, there is one unbelievably small thing

00:16:32 with these gambling clips

00:16:33 that YouTube takes very seriously,

00:16:36 the URL.

00:16:37 According to what YouTube told Steve,

00:16:39 www.steak.com must be blurred out

00:16:42 or not visible in the videos

00:16:44 under any circumstances.

00:16:46 You're allowed to say

00:16:47 that you're playing on Steak,

00:16:48 show yourself gambling on the website,

00:16:50 but the viewer should not be able

00:16:52 to see the actual URL. 0.99

00:16:53 Really, really, really stupid. 1.00

00:16:55 Unfortunately for Steve, 1.00

00:16:57 this one ridiculously small rule

00:16:59 would cause everything he built

00:17:01 to fall apart.

00:17:02 After his editor forgot to blur the steak URL,

00:17:04 his gambling channel was deleted.

00:17:06 Steve created a new second channel

00:17:08 and promoted it

00:17:09 in one of his main channel vlogs.

00:17:10 But before he did that,

00:17:12 he checked in with a YouTube rep

00:17:14 who told him,

00:17:15 you should be fine

00:17:16 if the Google AdSense account

00:17:17 on your main channel

00:17:18 isn't associated with your second channel.

00:17:20 Because if you don't know,

00:17:22 you could have theoretically

00:17:23 hundreds of YouTube channels

00:17:24 that all just get paid out

00:17:26 to the same account.

00:17:27 According to Steve,

00:17:28 he had a totally separate AdSense account

00:17:30 that he claims he didn't even own

00:17:31 or he didn't have the password to.

00:17:33 But at the end of the day,

00:17:35 that didn't matter.

00:17:36 On August 1st, 2022,

00:17:38 Steve would get the call from YouTube

00:17:39 letting him know

00:17:40 that his Steve will do

00:17:41 a channel was permanently deleted.

00:17:44 Usually YouTube requires

00:17:45 three strikes for a channel

00:17:46 to be wiped off the platform for good.

00:17:48 But Steve didn't even have one.

00:17:50 His main channel was in perfect standing

00:17:52 when this all went down,

00:17:53 causing many to speculate

00:17:54 that this was a targeted ban.

00:17:56 And maybe YouTube was waiting

00:17:57 for any reason

00:17:58 to take Steve off their platform.

00:18:00 YouTube never gave me a call

00:18:02 or let me know.

00:18:03 They called me the day of deletion

00:18:04 and it was a girl.

00:18:07 He actually got a call?

00:18:08 Chad, nobody called me.

00:18:11 I'm just on Rumble.

00:18:13 She seemed pretty stoked

00:18:14 I was getting deleted.

00:18:15 I was like the set.

00:18:17 She seemed happy.

00:18:18 And I was with me and my editor

00:18:20 and we were like,

00:18:21 bro, she's happy.

00:18:23 Like you're giving someone

00:18:25 the worst news possible

00:18:26 and you're doing it

00:18:27 in a way to where it's like, 1.00

00:18:30 like I fucked. 1.00

00:18:31 The woke left 1.00

00:18:31 preys on your downfall.

00:18:33 You're happy. 1.00

00:18:34 It was kind of just fucked up. 0.99

00:18:35 So this YouTube employee 0.98

00:18:37 seeming excited

00:18:38 confirms his suspicion

00:18:39 that it was a targeted ban.

00:18:41 Because at first,

00:18:42 the only information

00:18:43 that he got

00:18:43 was that he had,

00:18:44 quote,

00:18:45 repeated violations

00:18:46 of the community guidelines.

00:18:48 But that's extremely vague.

00:18:49 When the news hit,

00:18:51 fans,

00:18:51 friends,

00:18:52 celebrities,

00:18:53 they were all shocked

00:18:54 and confused.

00:18:55 If this happened

00:18:56 when he was slamming alcohol

00:18:57 and taking substances

00:18:58 on camera,

00:18:59 that would have made sense.

00:19:00 But when he switched up

00:19:01 his content,

00:19:02 giving away hundreds

00:19:02 of thousands of dollars.

00:19:04 They just didn't like him.

00:19:04 Look, he's wearing shirts,

00:19:05 making fun of Biden.

00:19:06 He's meeting with Trump.

00:19:08 He's an influential,

00:19:09 young, masculine man.

00:19:10 It just goes against the agenda.

00:19:11 To people,

00:19:11 what happened?

00:19:12 Well, Steve finally opened up

00:19:14 about it many months later.

00:19:15 Yeah, yeah,

00:19:16 post gambling clips.

00:19:17 At least he got a call though, bro.

00:19:18 On my second channel,

00:19:20 which you're allowed to do.

00:19:23 You're allowed to show yourself

00:19:24 playing stake.com.

00:19:27 You're allowed to say,

00:19:27 I'm on stake.

00:19:28 I'm,

00:19:29 hey guys,

00:19:29 I'm playing on stake right now.

00:19:31 But if stake.com is in the video,

00:19:34 your channel,

00:19:34 they delete the video, right?

00:19:36 So the issue started

00:19:37 on his second channel,

00:19:38 Steve Will Do It Gambling.

00:19:39 His editor forgot to blur

00:19:41 the stake URL

00:19:42 in one of his videos,

00:19:44 which led to his gambling channel

00:19:46 getting terminated.

00:19:47 So Steve made a new gambling channel,

00:19:49 but that qualifies as ban evasion.

00:19:52 If you don't know,

00:19:53 you aren't allowed

00:19:53 to just start a new channel

00:19:55 when your old one gets banned.

00:19:57 You out.

00:19:57 Once they ban one of your channels,

00:19:59 they ban you. 0.88

00:19:59 He made it even worse

00:20:00 when he promoted

00:20:01 the new gambling channel

00:20:02 on his main

00:20:03 Steve Will Do It page.

00:20:05 That now gives YouTube

00:20:06 grounds to terminate

00:20:07 his main channel as well.

00:20:09 For example,

00:20:10 if I got banned

00:20:11 on my second channel,

00:20:12 PatCC,

00:20:13 even though it's

00:20:13 totally different content,

00:20:15 I'm still the same owner.

00:20:16 And while I was banned,

00:20:17 I wouldn't be allowed

00:20:18 to post on my main

00:20:19 Patrick CC channel.

00:20:21 And if I did,

00:20:22 I could be banned

00:20:23 on my main as well

00:20:24 for ban evasion.

00:20:25 Steve thinks that YouTube

00:20:26 finally got him

00:20:27 in the perfect loophole

00:20:29 to wipe his 5 million subscriber

00:20:31 empire off the platform

00:20:33 because no other YouTuber

00:20:34 was banned for gambling

00:20:35 on stake.

00:20:36 It's crazy to think

00:20:37 that this entire catastrophe

00:20:39 came about

00:20:40 because he forgot

00:20:40 to blur a URL.

00:20:42 From here,

00:20:43 he signed an exclusive deal

00:20:44 to make weekly content

00:20:45 on the site Rumble

00:20:46 in September of 2022.

00:20:48 This site is becoming

00:20:49 known as the

00:20:51 free speech platform

00:20:53 where banned creators

00:20:54 flock to

00:20:54 since the terms

00:20:55 and conditions

00:20:56 are very, very loose.

00:20:57 Since he's been banned,

00:20:59 Steve has definitely

00:21:00 taken a massive hit

00:21:01 in relevance

00:21:01 since his viewership

00:21:03 is much lower

00:21:03 on the new site

00:21:04 and it keeps getting

00:21:05 lower with every upload. 0.99

00:21:07 Damn, 1.00

00:21:07 why do you gotta say that, bro? 1.00

00:21:10 Why are you doing

00:21:10 my man Steve like that, man?

00:21:12 And now that he can

00:21:13 never come back to YouTube,

00:21:14 his career will never

00:21:15 be at the heights

00:21:16 that it once was.

00:21:17 Now that he can

00:21:24 never ship

00:21:24 is much lower

00:21:25 on the new site

00:21:26 and it keeps getting

00:21:30 lower with every upload

00:21:31 and now that he can

00:21:32 never come back

00:21:32 to YouTube,

00:21:33 his career will never

00:21:34 be at the heights

00:21:35 that it once was.

00:21:38 Good video,

00:21:39 good way to detail it.

00:21:45 That's it.

00:21:47 good.

00:21:52 Good.
