No idea who that is, but it's like Total Biscuit said, You Tube drama is absolutely disgusting, but every once and a while something serious comes up that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately, You Tube's recommended videos probably don't have the common sense to recognize the difference.

But don't judge all "you tube personalities" based on one person, or even several.

Is that you, Mr.Lahey?

@spaceinsomniac:A lot of it comes off like high school grade fabricated drama, just rolling in it for the sake of it, and for the attention. I gave a couple videos a watch and it mostly amounted to whining about some other full grown adult being mean on Twitter and doxing one of his friends, or something. I've never seen H3's videos, but at least with this he helped bring something to light that's actually significant and worth paying attention to, so good on him.

@atomicoldman: Everything about it is nuts. The way people make the thumbnails as garish as possible in order to draw your eye and the entire culture that has evolved around getting people to watch your channel is both fascinating and revolting. YouTubers non ironically rolling that "subscribe, comment and give a thumbs up if you like this video" off their tongues like some twisted modern day "Hello" is just weird. You would think that because it's a community that evolved from every day people it would be a lot more genuine than TV is, and yet it all feels so incredibly insincere and fake, but it's worse than TV because for the most part a lot of YouTubers try to sell it off as genuine.

Ok, they have been sued now. (As part of a class action related to the overall cs:go gambling culture anyways)

In the suit, which was filed by an anonymous parent on behalf of their child, Valve is accused of deliberately allowing the creation of a market where players and third-parties trade weapon skins like casino chips. The lawsuits accuse Valve and third-party sites like CSGO Diamonds, CSGO Lounge and CSGO Lotto of allowing millions of Americans to link their individual Steam accounts to websites that allow players to gamble with their CS: GO weapon skins.

VideoGamerTV has produced a couple of parody videos about this whole debacle. First, there is How To Setup A Video Game Gambling Website. This is quickly followed by We’re Sorry We Tried To Scam You With A Gambling Website.

Oh boy

The Michael Jackson popcorn GIF from Thriller has never seemed more appropriate.

And now the final part: WE'RE BACK! 'Cos We Didn't Do Anything Wrong – The Scam Part 3.

Valve has just announced that they are going to block access by gambling sites to the OpenID API.
