Transcripts

today we got called out for pioneering

the field of exposed content no one's

ever heard of this before until we did

it apparently so I want to talk about it

I want to talk about the biggest cry

bully on the internet that is the tech

lead you guys know people like this uh

they like to bully people until all of a

sudden they get a little bit of push

back and they start crying oh no I can't

believe I'm the victim I'm the victim of

my own actions uh so we're going to talk

a bit about that today if you guys don't

know internet Anarchy made a video

summarizing a lot of tech lead's uh

various scandals it's called how coffee

destroyed YouTube's worst Tech Channel

goes over million token Tren black a lot

of the ancient lore that some of you

guys don't know about anyway Tech lead

copyright stried that video took it down

and then made a video called the scam

tuber industry where he copes and seees

about the fact that people can have an

opinion about the things that you do on

in this world and how he's decided that

if you make a video about him he's going

to copyright strike your video because

quote he can and he owns all the rights

to all his videos you can't make a video

about it because if you use his identity

at all he's going to copyright strike

your channel now as you guys know this

is not new he's been doing this for five

years he did this with Tren black he did

this with now internet Anarchist but I

want to talk about this video we're not

going to go into too much detail with

the internet Anarchist stuff because

frankly the the video's back I mean it

it got copyright stried but thankfully

Tech Ley took his video down the video

is back it got very well um discussed

with moist critical video so instead I

want to focus on the parts of this video

that nobody talked about he starts with

an insane claim basically saying scam

tubers are this new industry and I

created it it's all expose content

they're just trashing other big

YouTubers and this is really in the wake

of a field pioneered by cof Zillow

that's right guys I pioneered the genre

of criticizing people I did it you know

thank you thank you I'll take my award

now my pullit Sur prise uh but there's a

another part of this which I want to

focus on where he says that this field

that I pioneered apparently does know

journalism this is a big claim of his he

says no journalism has been done for the

views and they really have zero

journalistic Integrity right they're not

seeking the truth a real journalist

would confirm their sources they would

conduct their own interviews and seek

what the truth is and have a full story

for you but these people they really

often times just weave one side of a

narrative weave some compelling story

and then just put it out there without

even asking for the other side of the

story oh can you believe poor techlead

poor Tech Le who copyright strikes

people who criticize him he just wishes

they would reach out to him well that's

exactly what we did he says that I

caused all his problems whatever I have

gone to Tech lead over and over and over

for comment going back to the Tren black

situation which I think we should talk

about but also the million token stuff

and that's actually where I want to

start I went to him he says nobody goes

to him nobody hears his side of the

story people just make videos without

going to him the video we're all talking

about the million token stuff I went to

him hey I'm making a video about million

token you know uh you said you put a

million dollars of your own money I

can't see that and then also he was

running ads on it his response to me is

hey long time no chat your Channel's

been fire lately even I've been enjoying

your the content and your $10 million

Studio obviously this is the CL classic

grifter response hey I love you man hey

great stuff great stuff I'm big fan I'm

not asking for sympathy but I've been a

really tough uh place in life lately I

lost my three-year-old son remember

because he got divorced um life's rough

still is I don't get to see him parental

alienation it's depressing I hope your

family's been well man now I actually

don't have anything to say negatively

about like him as a father I have no

idea I'm sure he's f

I feel bad that's not the question I

asked this is like a total deflection

he's like hey I have a I have problems

in my life you can't criticize me

remember this is the guy who's saying we

don't reach out I say hey that's nice of

you to say but setting all that aside

I've got questions about million the

ones above notwithstanding it seems like

you've been basically making millions of

dollars with Ponzi nomics and basically

pitching a get-rich uh quick scheme to

people which is true if you look at

million token this is million token

right here peaked at $21 it's now worth

a120 okay people have gotten destroyed

on this

token then Tech lead's response is he

says oh I wish people would come to me

I'd give them my side of the story he

starts talking about child abduction in

Japan maybe you can do a story about

that and help me get my son back I say

based on my calcul I just completely

ignore it you've made 3.3 million in USD

uh and you also have another million uh

in usdc on Unis swap everything million

is online I'm not sure of uh those

videos but you can check those I say

listen I'm sorry about your son but I've

got to cover this million token Story

please answer the above questions did

you see Andre J's video about million

join our Discord and I said yes I've

watched it anyway all this to say I ex I

kept going to him he kept deflect oh

don't do this don't do this my son child

abduction the Discord you got to go to

the Discord and I'm just like hey can

you just explain this thing so it's so

funny to me he's complaining about all

these people they're just making videos

without going to the source I went to

you you just you just said hey love your

channel man don't talk about me talk

about child abduction now I also want to

talk about uh the Tren black stuff

because I think this stuff frequently

gets ignored because it's just an older

part of the story Tren black is another

YouTuber who got copyright stried by the

tech Le and the premise was literally

the same it was the same idea before

which is Tech lead was claiming at the

time that Tren black used his face in

the video which is totally fair to do uh

and that like constituted the ability to

copyright strike now when I went to

techlead about this back then in I think

it was 2019 techlead said hey first of

all he used my identity so I had the

right to copyright strike him but I

can't remove the copyright strike even

if I wanted to I don't have the ability

and I was like wait what what do you

mean you don't have the ability yes you

can remove the copyright strike and he

said no I can't find the email address I

don't see the copyright strike like like

retraction thing in my email like I

literally can't I can't find it and I'm

like there's no way we went through this

long process where he kept sending me

like Dropbox videos screen cap videos of

him looking through his Google accounts

where he had signed out of the Google

account he had actually copyright stried

him with but didn't like and then like

sent me the the uh his other Google

accounts and basically said like oh I

don't see this like ability to the

copyright strike basically trying to

it's so weird he basically lied to me to

try to say that he couldn't bring back

Tren Black's video because he was just

trying to spite Tren black here's the uh

DMS there I was talking to him about uh

you know the copyright dashboard he says

I can't find it I checked across all my

accounts there's nothing there here's

proof since Tren doesn't believe me that

video has been since deleted and I said

hm that's so strange I sent him an email

uh asking if he deleted the videos I

don't think he did anyway he said me on

this like long runaround basically

saying he didn't have the ability to do

it actually he did he eventually did my

point is Tech lead constantly plays the

victim he's willing to lie he's willing

to dox he's willing to um lie about the

journalism people do about him in order

to make himself seem more like the

victim and meanwhile he employs these

cry bully tactics of he'll take your

videos down he'll um try try to slander

you remember he called us uh a lot of

things I won't even repeat some of the

he said a lot of things insane things

about us meanwhile if you do anything to

him oh I'm such a victim I can't believe

it I can't believe they did that to me

but the biggest irony of all is that his

big like Hill he's dying on is this idea

that no one can use anyone else's work

without licensing it in fact he says

that right here I would appreciate other

YouTubers to have the Integrity that if

they would like to use my images and

video for their commercial game then to

get a license for it yeah that's right

guys how dare you use people's work in

your own video without licensing it oh

wait is that my video playing in Tech

lead's video unlicensed where's my check

tech lead huh I want I want pay me

where's my money how dare you use my

video for boll in a video where you're

going to just talk my work by the way

what's funny is my stuff actually has

production he just sits in front of a

camera in this video he acts like his

work is so precious he talks about oh

documentary Crews approach me asking to

license my footage what footage are they

licensing you in front of a webcam at

the same desk you've been at for five

years

like um again not that it matters it's

just all fair use either way if you're

talking about something critically like

this uh but anyway I just thought this

was insane I wanted to give people Fair

context CU I don't expect you guys to

have followed 5 years of tech lore but

you have to know that every time Tech

lead says these people are coming at me

they're not asking me for comment every

time it went to you we did ask for

comment you lied to us you misled us you

tried to say go do a child abduction

story in

Japan uh anyway it's insane I just

wanted to cover uh cover this guy

because he's in the news he brought us

up I'm the big villain in his eyes I I

invented the world of exposes so of

course I have to respond now I want to

say I'm not en irely unhappy that Tech

lead is back of the news because I just

released a video on my main Channel a

trailer of a video I've been working on

for quite a while the 1 million

subscriber special which I'm literally

years late on now the funny thing is at

the time I was making that video the

time we were writing it uh Tech lead was

very much in the YouTubers like guys we

were having our whole beef with them so

in my like video the movie that we're

going to put out uh in July 5th or early

on patreon if you want we actually

mentioned thech Tech lead I got so

nervous when we got closer to release of

this video I was like is anyone going to

remember who the tech lead was cuz he's

fallen out of the YouTuber zist no one

had talked about him in a while so the

timing on this is kind of kind of

fortuitous for us it's pretty funny um

definitely did not play it but hey Tech

lead is actually featured heavily in our

in our new movie that we've been cooking

up but yeah I just found the timing of

all that ironic because I was sure that

people were going to go who's Tech lead

but now that he's kind of thrown himself

back into the drama um I think that's

not going to happen at all and it's

going to seem more topical than ever I'm

going to look like no stradamus having

plan this all out so anyway yeah not my

plan at all but kind of funny and yeah

that's basically it
