Transcripts

from being a high schooler collaborating

with some of the biggest names on

YouTube to being exposed for promoting

hacked clients and stealing content and

then quitting YouTube twice this is the

story of why shotgun raids abandoned his

audience it all started when shotgun was

just 13 years old he posts his first

video that's still public to this day on

December 3rd of 2015 and it's a

Minecraft Factions video yo how's it

going guys sh here and for the video

starts I just want to quickly preface it

by saying we did sell like 1 million

worth of rues which is the main reason

why I'm uploading this however off start

with his channel we noticed something

that's a bit odd he had huge creators

like llan and vicstar in his first ever

videos that basically got no views in

his pinned comment that he wrote on his

first video Read getting back into

learning how to edit these it'll be

rough for a bit now but I'm slowly

getting better at it so there's a good

chance he made YouTube videos before the

shotgun rage Channel or had privated the

videos and that's how we had connected

so fast with these big creators and you

might think that knowing big creators

and collaborating with them would lead

to higher views but for shotgun it

actually didn't at all you see for

shotgun raids he posted hundreds and

hundreds of factions videos with the

most views that he'd ever be seeing on

one of those videos being only around

10,000 most videos averaging right

around 1,000 views and I mean this

wasn't terrible to be fair he was only

13 years old at the time most likely he

was just posting on YouTube cuz he was

playing Minecraft Factions all day

anyways but coming into March of 2016

we'd see the first sign of where shotgun

might lead his content in the future

which could be the first downfall of

shotgun raid he posts Minecraft SkyWars

another hacker and it starts his

fasination with hackers cheating in the

sketchy side of Minecraft content all

right guys so I think I'm going to end

the video there we could have had three

wins but that dude freaking y turn on

his hacks and absolutely destroy us but

I guess it's fine cuz we did leave him

on like freaking one heart man holy crap

at the time it was just a one-off video

about a hacker that he' ran into but

later his channel and future content

would revolve around the same kind of

hacks getting him exposed and leading to

one of his many unexplained absences to

come after a couple of years of grinding

YouTube shotgun finally gets a pretty

big video 186,000 views and you might

have guessed it it was a collab video

that he did with Preston plays himself

oh he's coming he's coming he's coming

dud oh dude yes dude come here dude come

come let's go that's

two playing and recording mainly on

Hypixel now this could be the start for

shock and raids to really take this

YouTube stuff to the moon and

established his place as one of the best

Hypixel creators and that's exactly what

he did shotgun started getting super

consistent good views when focusing on

bedw Wars his skill at the game and

different trolling and trap videos he

was obviously grinding bedwar to become

really good at it and it showed in his

videos posting content like getting 100

bedwars wins in one day and the audience

was really enjoying it but as we've

already seen with shotgun raids he tends

to foreshadow his future with his old

videos and that wouldn't change at all

coming up to his first million viewed

video and remember this for later

because it's a scripted video where one

of his friends pretends to be a twitch

streamer to hackusate him in bedwar and

the reason I say to remember it is

because 6 years later after posting that

that's the exact kind of content that

would get him more haters than ever

before leading him to quit YouTube

entirely shotgun was peing in his career

though playing Minecraft with XXX

tentasion himself and still growing

bigger and bigger on YouTube millions of

views in just a few months and the now

16-year-old shotgun raids could have

been any more happy about it but that's

not exactly how his mom felt it seems

shotgun would tweet a few times talking

about how his mom looked disappointed

when hearing about his YouTube channel

in one time he even tweeted please stop

coming to my house I know I accidentally

leaked my address but that doesn't mean

you can come here my mom doesn't even

know what YouTube is and thinks I'm

selling drugs so obviously this little

YouTube career of his was starting to be

a bigger and more real thing for him and

his family and it makes sense growing at

a rapid Pace especially at a young age

always makes things even crazier and

remember this all is leading to his

super weird disappearance that happened

not only once but twice where things

started to get really interesting for

the first time is when shotgun raids

started beefing with technoblade himself

and also because hypixels just released

this update and it's actually really bad

I'm going to use it to my advantage and

tell you guys should leave a like on the

video If you guys think they should

remove it cuz obviously I don't think

anyone doesn't want it removed and if

you guys think it shouldn't be removed

leave a like as well cuz I just want the

like so that was a video that shotgun

posted after a bedwar update supposedly

came out except it turned out that the

update had never existed so the fact

that he was farming it for views and

likes had some people pretty upset the

main person though that would get upset

was technoblade techno would post a

video the day after shotgun posted

titled bedw Wars didn't get updated stop

being dumb thanks and this was really

clearly aimed at shotgun raids because

he specifically called him out in the

video I don't know man I I just can't

help but feel bad for the admins cuz

they're just constantly getting yelled

at for things

for no reason basically like okay so

they made that thread on the forums and

like 800 people saw it and then

meanwhile some YouTuber made a video how

the new update ruined bedw Wars 55,000

views the update isn't even real I'm

done shotgun raids though of course took

advantage of this techno was a way

bigger Creator so for shotgun getting in

a bit of beef was not a bad idea to get

his name out there he made a response

video that has since been deleted but

techno was not done there hitting

shotgun raids back with yet another full

response video titled is it still called

YouTube beef if you're a pig CL that one

of the video tags said shotgun raids is

fake news but in my defense it was

hilarious I I mean come on guys let's be

real here anyhow so he then seems to

imply oh yes how convenient that he put

me in the tags when I've been getting

all these views recently H which I can't

help but feel would be a stronger

argument if the amount of views he'd

gotten was anywhere near the amount of

views I'd already gotten but you know

whatever exposed technoblade in it for

the views obviously there was some

tension between the two YouTubers at

this point but it wouldn't in there

luckily for us they didn't just keep

shooting back videos like these just

talking about the issue in that

following summer shakun and techno would

actually end up going against each other

in bedwars potentially settling their

beef once and for all he's going to get

2 million views on YouTube we should

destroy Theus techno blade uh some

reason we got split and Tech is on the

other team which means that we are going

to Target guys get Obby we have the best

game plan man we just get obsidian we go

straight there we just put it on our

beds they it's impossible for them to

break this okay I thought this through

very well I've been planning this for a

few years now techno was definitely

trolling shakun a bit in the bedw war

game but it didn't seem like anything

too serious at this point and besides

the point shotgun had some new issues to

worry about the new issue that he had

occupying his mind all started with a

YouTuber named new to nebris in the same

summer that the beef with techno was

somewhat resolved tenis released a

30-minute video All About shotgun raids

and trying his best to expose him

exposing him for quote unquote stealing

content promoting cheaters and massive

clickbait and this actually blew up for

a smaller Channel like new tenis 444,000

views was absolutely insane so of course

shotgun raids had to defend himself

which we'll get to in a second but what

were Ten's actual claims against shotgun

raids well first he tries to call him

out for boring intros and repetitive

intro song which really didn't do much

but that wasn't one of his main issues

the main issue for NIS was that shakun

had been stealing content from him and

other YouTubers and also promoting

hacked clients to his viewers we're here

to expose him for stealing other

creators content and claiming it as his

own now this happened to me and it also

happened to several other creators now I

recorded a video when this first

happened a long time ago and I'm also

going to share some Discord messages I

have have with shotgun raids which prove

that he claims my content as his own now

this itself wasn't actually the origin

of their beef it was more related to the

Hacked Client that I mentioned you see

ten took it to Twitter to start things

off tweeting out wow at Hypixel why did

you give YouTube rank to this guy who's

promoting hacked clients for a super

small Twitter account the Tweet actually

got some attention and from that point

on shock and raids allegedly started

stealing this guy's video ideas to get

back at him for making that tweet why

would you upload a video called I found

a breezly bridge mod for bedwars one day

after I made my breezly bridge mod is

total bull video and then upload proof

God bridging is possible in bed Wars

with handcam about I don't know uh a few

weeks after I upload my moon Walking is

Still impossible and is it possible to

godbridge legit video which I don't have

right now but you guys know that video

and for tenis the main issue to him was

that shotgun was stealing this content

and not giving him the credit that he

thought he deserved but in this

30-minute exposed video he posted he

actually showed some DMS from shotgun

raids that are trying to defend his

action so you just admitted to stealing

my video nice I credited you and Shout

At You of course I got the idea from you

MK but you should just ask next time

that's fine just ask and he said KK and

I said I'm not LOL and then he says SEC

and I said just ask next time thanks D

don't do it again while without asking

and he said how old are you by the way

18 you're 18 you're telling a

16-year-old do you want to test me you

won't like it that's actually not what I

said by the way I that's kind of like a

paraphrase thing of what I said but I

did I did say that I might make a video

on him if he does not if or if he

continues stealing my content and stuff

like that and it was kind of obvious now

that this beef was getting a bit too

heated tenis was not taking it lightly

but to be fair to shotgun he still was

only a 16-year-old high school kid so of

course he dropped a response video to

defend himself the video has since been

deleted with the title literally being

deleting the SkyWars video tomorrow

noobs but tenis reacted to it and that

reaction is still on YouTube about the

thing he said in the video cuz I wasn't

going to say anything about this video

cuz I was like there's no way anyone

believes this okay so I've talked to

seven different people who have all had

their content stolen and they all agree

with me and they all think that you've

unfairly stolen their content and their

thumbnail and you might wonder how

exactly this exposing and beef would

lead to shock and raids abandoning his

audience but soon here it ties in

directly and you'll see also an issue

that people had and would continue to

have is the fact that shotgun seems to

only care about views he will hack in

Minecraft promote bad products and

constantly tell his viewers to keep

watching And subscribe name cu I have a

feeling well I'm pretty confident this

video was made solely for views but yeah

okay my video is made solely for views

what have you been doing in your entire

existence on this

platform you've been stealing people's

titles and thumbnails for views like

that's that you literally describing

exactly what you're doing but here's

where shun's response gets telling for

what his future could hold tenis called

him out for clickbait and shotgun

responded in a way that honestly nobody

would have expected the second point he

has is is clickbait and honestly I

understand that for real I that's the

one point I can take away from this

video cuz I I knew it anyway I L call

myself the clickbait king so it's like

uh I'm pretty self aware but I do

believe him being self-aware I still

don't think that's a good reason to

actually clickbait to like a high extent

cuz I think I've crossed the line a few

times which I should definitely not be

done that's definitely something I have

to want yeah I know you admitted that in

the call so I mean that's that's fine

shotgun just admits that he does

clickbait and that he's actually the

king of it but we wouldn't have seen

anywhere to the level of clickbait he

would come back with later on and

honestly besides those few takeaways the

beef didn't really catch any traction

shotgun did not lose any viewers but it

was all leading to the first time he'd

be quitting and leaving his audience in

the dust shotgun was clearly getting

tired of the Hypixel community and he

wanted to try something new so he faked

a video where he claims that his YouTube

rank was removed because of the videos

he made using hacks but it turns out

there was a bit of a twist with this

video if you couldn't guess already did

this obviously was a skit and if you did

guess congratulations you've locked a

new video maybe you've skipped to the

end you've unlocked a new video you can

check out my second Channel video it's

amazing go check it out or if you don't

want to watch fortnite you can check out

one of my other bedwars videos which is

one of them on the screen or you can go

back on my other videos and check them

out I don't know else just say I guess

goodbye that's right this skit video he

posted was all meant to promote his

brand new fortnite YouTube channel

shotgun plays in his starting a second

Channel fans assumed that he'd keep

posting his bedwar videos as well but

that wasn't exactly what we'd see happen

he'd used this new fortnite channel as

an opportunity to quit Minecraft

temporarily leaving his main audience

super confused and slightly annoyed with

shotgun plays he would take the

opportunity to clickbait stage videos

and pull more views than ever before his

first video on the channel was buying

all tiers of the new season 5 battle

pass already click Banning on the first

video's thumbnail and title but it only

get worse from here you see his

Minecraft audience had already been

abandoned but quickly he started to

build a fan base over in the fortnite

scene with one big series that turned

out to all be a lie coming in with the

skull Trooper fortnite scam account

series not not only did this series go

against epic games to by promoting

selling and buying accounts but it was a

series that was framed to his viewers to

be real and legit but was fully scripted

he kept up that scripted series along

with more hacking and cheating related

videos he would find crazy bugs exploits

and fun ways to mess with the game who

killed

you oh my God I feel so bad I did it are

you guys coming I did

itating me he literally has no clue I'm

sat right next to true he's probably

wondering why he can't back up inside

with this guy he's bandaging goodbye I'm

sorry and crazy enough this channel

would explode to Heights that shotgun

had never seen on Minecraft content

showing that it was clearly the right

decision career-wise at the time to

leave his Minecraft fans in the dust in

just a few months hitting 500,000

subscribers and doing his official face

reveal on the shotgun plays Channel you

can see I just turned 17 it's my

computer uh oh my God you guys want to

see my water it's it's my water wait

wait what okay I know a lot of people

like I'm not going to say anything about

that but if you see me drinking water in

a video this is it and uh here's my

water bottle cap I really be out here

chewing on my water bottle for some

reason I don't know why I L kind fit

back with all the success he decided to

of course keep running up the fortnite

content but this wouldn't last for too

much longer he'd even have a return to

the technoblade beef which will get to

in just a minute but first shotgun made

one of his best series so far getting in

contact with poke Humane in making some

super awkward Duos videos with her okay

we'll start our relationship from there

I guess yeah like relationship you mean

friendship right really did it together

Pokey I think our chemistry has gone up

a little bit maybe just like Synergy is

a better word just just Synergy bring

School in

it it was a bit weird to some viewers

because he was 16 years old but the

videos were made to be purposely awkward

and just kind of funny and this series

like I said blew his channel up tweeting

out I literally uploaded one video in

the past month and we gained 100,000 new

subs and hit a new hour view record

thank you for letting me be lazy and

watch anime instead of making videos I

love all of you and Pokémon man shotgun

really started to push things though

importing custom skins like a Spider-Man

skin which actually had gotten another

fortnite YouTuber named Landon banned

from the game entirely somehow shotgun

was staying safe and not getting banned

and we'd actually start to see a

short-lived return to Minecraft coming

up really soon it started by posting a

video on a shotgun rage Channel just

explaining why he left in the first

place okay we're making a Minecraft

video this feels really weird but I have

to do this okay basically Minecraft's a

boring game and it's just not as fun as

it used to be that's just how it is I

mean I still enjoy playing the game

every now and again but it's nowhere

near as fun as it used to be so why

would I upload videos on something I

don't want to play you know I'm just

going to say this now cuz I think it's

the point you get out the way I have a

big ego so I'll tell you like exactly

how I think so I don't think it matters

what game I play I'll always be big on

YouTube and if I want to make content on

something that I enjoy and want to play

then I'll always be big of course this

made some of his old Minecraft fans

super upset but they would get the

content that they' had been missing

really soon coming up to the very first

week of Minecraft Monday shot and raids

actually duoed up with no other than

technoblade himself even crazier than

them collabing together on the same team

is the fact that they placed first in

the tournament securing

$10,000 shakun posted that video on his

Minecraft Channel and it looked like

things were going really great but then

he decided to quit not only his

Minecraft Channel again but fully

abandoned his fortnite channel that was

getting millions of views per video

posting his very last video almost 5

years ago on August 1st of 2019 after

posting the Minecraft Monday with techno

and quitting fortnite he takes a 3-month

break from posting on any channel at all

now some people started speculating it

was because of school after all he was

young it was August and the summer was

coming to an end Maybe YouTube just

wasn't a priority for him he basically

left his audience confused with no

content on either channel for months and

months yet again that is until he

returned and he returned with the

content that originally blew him up over

six years ago that is the fake twitch

streamer videos I come upon this stream

right here and this guy does have

viewers mind he had around 50 when I was

watching him and he was literally

hacking you can see all the hacks he has

on in the bottom right this is me later

in the video then he's also exing a bit

earlier as well so I was like now this

content was objectively viral 8.1

million views on his return video was

absolutely ins insane and the views

wouldn't die down but what would is

support from fans because people started

to get mad at him once again for the

insane clickbait and lies about the

videos even having YouTubers calling him

out once again and I hope people stop

watching these fake videos because

seeing these on trending is annoying

when there's actual real content out

there that people can watch instead of

this fake bull crap but it got way worse

than we could have ever imagined and

it's all because of the guy that was

acting as the fake hacker in all of of

his videos this was a Creator by the

name of Shadle a fortnite YouTuber who

was exposed by his editor in April 2022

Shadle was exposed with a disgusting

audio clip coming to light you know it

was about underage girls and you know

like I said that you know underage girls

got involved and I was being

Reckless and you know you know like I

told you I had like pictures on my phone

and um I think I told you I got a fan

involved at one point when when Sarah

was under the influence of you know when

she was drinking sometimes I'd force her

to have sex with me obviously this was

disgusting every Creator who knew Shadle

cut him off immediately including

shotgun raids shotgun got millions and

millions of views with shatal but after

finding this out he had to find new fake

actors for his videos now he very rarely

posts if ever and we could consider this

as leaving his audience for the third

major time but it actually makes some

sense you got to understand understand

shotgun is now a 22-year-old man grown

up a lot more than he was years ago and

is probably just living his life he's

still easily making a couple th000 every

month passively from his Minecraft

Channel and with the views that he got

during his time on YouTube on both

channels if he's smart with money he

never needs to work a day in his life

shakun occasionally tweets out for big

things like techno's death and his own

birthday but besides a few Tweets in a

YouTube video from 9 months ago shotgun

raids is basically gone off of the

internet if you did enjoy this video
