[Music]

DanTDM has finally forced KSI to cave in

and apologize for his behavior however

just like how his partner Logan Paul is

talented at making apology videos ksi's

apology didn't do so well on X on

September 27th 2024 he posted this a lot

has happened these past few days online

so here I'm addressing everything below

and he links to his website my apology.

co.uk someone replied nobody clicked

that link it's an IP Grabber that steals

all your information when I actually

went to the website it had a cloud flare

error and when I checked the history of

the domain name it had just been

registered on September 24th 2024 but

someone revealed that the website did

work at one point and it linked to a

page telling people to save his music

that he announced a couple days ago the

Horizon said this man is so genuinely

unlikable a lot has happened Dan made

one tweet bro please get a PR team no

way danant TDM for real pressed you this

hard over a tweet bro and then Community

notes put this context underneath his

tweet readers added context they thought

people might want to know the link takes

you to a page where you can pre-order

his new song and has no apology the

Tweet is misleading this is against X's

guidelines as soon as KSI got called out

he continued to cry even harder over the

community notes the community note is a

straightup Lie the apology is there you

just have to click the page a few times

to get to it once again people abusing

Community notes oh brother this guy

stinks KSI is continuing to make himself

look like an absolute joke in bought a

domain named a couple days in advance to

try to profit off DanTDM destroying him

the website doesn't even work and

obviously no one wants to listen to his

music the situation where DanTDM

destroyed Mr B's KSI and Logan Paul got

a lot of people's attention and I made a

video that got an insane amount of views

and literally less than 24 hours later a

massive YouTuber plagiarized my video

copying what I said almost word for word

and said everything I said in the exact

same order in his video now here's the

irony of the topic of both of our videos

KSI took the tweet that danant TDM made

about lunch Lee and used it to respond

to the Marcus brownley situation where

he's being canceled for his $50

wallpaper app and he refers to DanTDM as

a dumb YouTuber so it's insane to think

that this YouTuber saw my video about

how KSI copy DanTDM and decided to copy

me almost completely word for word for

what he was going to make this was the

start of my video KSI is continuing to

cry about danant TDM's criticism of

lunch Ley and on September 25th 2024 he

has made a brand new tweet that most of

you will see is very familiar and this

was the start of his video KSI has once

again voiced his frustration over

DanTDM's critique of lunch Ley on

September 25th 2024 he posted a tweet

that Echoes previous sentiments now it

seems coincidental that we both mention

the exact date of the new post and when

I watched this I thought it was just a

coincidence and it's completely fine

mentioning the date of a tweet and

reading it out at the start of the video

and then this happens meanwhile Marcus

brownley has introduced a new app for

wallpapers named panels despite not

posing health risks like lunch Le might

with its lead concerns the concept

behind panels seems rather unnecessary

so right after reading out the tweet I

gave some backstory on Marcus Brown

ley's wallpaper app and how it's

harmless compared to possibly feeding

children lead in Mercury Marcus brownley

has launched a new wallpaper app called

panels and while it's not a product

where people might possibly be consuming

lead the idea of this in the first place

is pretty stupid this guy happened to

have the exact same opinion as I did and

ironically this style of video is called

a commentary video where you give your

opinion on certain situations or events

this week I decided to throw together a

video where I wrote the script and

edited everything together with my

fast-paced style after I saw people

simply cover KSI being an idiot I was

shocked anyone was still continuing to

cover the DanTDM situation because it's

been over a week I decided not to go and

watch any of these videos because I saw

some of the tweets on my Twitter feed so

I did the research myself I haven't

watched more than 30 seconds of any of

these videos up until just recently and

one quick thing I want to point out is

somebody on KSI subreddit which by the

way KSI is deleting posts on his

subreddit posted a photo of lunch Ley in

his grocery store and for whatever

reason it's already at discount despite

the fact that it hasn't even been two

weeks since it was announced I looked at

all the tweets on Twitter myself I wrote

a script I pulled out my Samson

microphone and took some screenshots and

threw my video together into Vinci

resolve it took around a month and a

half after I uploaded my video

introducing people to a groundbreaking

Minecraft mod to the most viewed video

on my channel then when I uploaded my

Notch video it took me 2 weeks to

surpass months of progress I upload this

video and it takes less than 20 hours

after I originally uploaded it to get

that many views so after I got all these

views I decided to go and take a rest

and I thought to myself why don't I go

and check out how the other people who

have made five videos on this topic

suddenly could make a 25-minute video on

the DanTDM situation and literally just

a couple minutes before I had checked

this channel out and they had just

uploaded a video the views on my video

had died down and his views were going

up extremely I decided to go and watch

it and it seemed extremely familiar and

as I started watching the video it's

almost as if this guy took the entire

script of my video changed it up a

little bit and uploaded his video now I

want to make this very clear to all of

you some people like I do can take a

bunch of previous uploads and combine

them together and since YouTube

absolutely loves extremely long videos

my video has an average watch retention

of 4 minutes so if the guy who has a

25-minute watch duration has a 30% watch

retention YouTube might recommend the

video over the course of days weeks or

years after the video originally

explodes so of course learning how to

make videos that are longer is something

that I've been trying to learn how to do

this guy got 1 million views covering

DanTDM so I wanted to go and watch his 1

million view video so I could learn this

reminds me of this insane fact I saw

where this guy who actually wrote the

script for The Godfather movies knew

nothing about writing screenplays and

then he decided to purchase a book on

how to write them and guess what the the

start of the book that he purchased

after making the movies told him to

study the very same movies that he

helped make so it was weird to go to a

successful YouTube channel to learn how

to be a better video maker to find out

that they've literally plagiarized you

and I was definitely curious because he

used the same word that I did in my

title which was the word continue now

let's go and do a couple more

comparisons to my work in his the

concept behind panels seems rather

unnecessary when free Alternatives exist

on platforms like Reddit or via Google

search people might possibly be

consuming lead the idea of this in the

first place is pretty stupid because you

could just go to Reddit or look up on

Google for free wallpapers yourself all

right well at least he isn't going to

mention the fact that right after I said

that that DanTDM has an alternate

YouTube channel that he uploaded to and

has an alternate Twitter account what

does a tech reviewer's app launch have

to do with danant TDM now you might be

wondering how is talking about this

iPhone reviewer have anything to do with

DanTDM meanwhile DanTDM made one

statement on Twitter not engaging

further either from his main or

alternate account he's even launched a

fresh YouTube channel and hasn't even

said anything ever since not on his alt

account nor on his main Dan hasn't even

publicly responded and he actually has a

new YouTube channel okay th this has to

be a complete coincidence I hope just

like in my video he doesn't mention the

fact that KSI mockingly reads out

DanTDM's tweet KSI Begins by quoting

DanTDM's tweet what happened to

YouTubers

man I cannot say anything anymore at the

start KSI reads out d TDM's tweet and

makes fun of his response what happened

to YouTubers man all right well I hope

he doesn't mention the fact that KSI

claims that some of DanTDM's fans

responded with racism as a way to

discredit DanTDM's fan base KSI alleges

that certain members of DanTDM's

audience used racist comments in an

attempt to tarnish the reputation of

DanTDM's Community well all right I

think this guy took the transcript of my

original video threw it into chat GPT

and had to make changes since he

obviously couldn't use the same memes

that made in my original video to hit

the 8 Minute Mark now if you guys want

to go in and support me hit the

people to subscribe but I at least want
