so about a month ago I received what I
thought at the time was a pretty
harmless comment on one of my videos it
simply said this guy copied your video
followed by a YouTube link curiously I
clicked the link and was brought to a
video titled in Spanish by a YouTuber
named tempestad gamer now being an
English-speaking Canadian who has never
been taught Spanish a day in his life I
had no idea what the title meant but
after scrubbing to the video for a bit
it became obvious it was about beating
Wind Waker without the wind a video I
had done on my Channel about a month
before this one was released which by
the way I was completely fine with
people do this all the time on YouTube
challenge run ideas aren't owned by
anyone and they aren't protected under
copyright law if they were all these
people touching grass with Mario would
be in prison
but it isn't and they aren't so I was
cool with it I even noticed that he put
my name on one of the clips which meant
he had to be crediting me in some way so
even though I couldn't understand any of
the words I thought I had seen enough to
confidently say my video had not been
copied I chopped it up to someone
attempting the same Challenge and
putting their own spin on it which again
is completely fine so I washed my hands
of it and moved on to more pressing
matters but over the next couple of days
something about that video kept nagging
at me for some reason I just couldn't
get it out of my head I thought I had
done my due diligence by skimming
through it but I really didn't know what
he was saying in the video he could have
copied my script word for word and I
would have no idea because I don't speak
Spanish and I didn't know anyone else
who could which meant unfortunately I
was out of luck but thankfully that day
while digging through the settings of a
YouTube video I found a possible
solution to my problem the YouTube Auto
translate this little feature translates
the audio from any YouTube video to nice
neat English close captions now I knew
like most of these things it probably
wasn't 100% accurate but it was probably
good enough for what I needed it for so
with my new tool in hand I rewatched
tempestad Gamer video on Wind Waker
without the
wind H that's weird I got stuck in the
exact same
way wait didn't I do the exact same
[Music]
thing easy wait what he stole my
joke uh yeah so he definitely stole some
[ __ ] to show you what I mean let's take
a quick look at those clips I just
showed so when I was first trying to
perform barrier skip in my run I kept
coming across problem where link would
run against the barrier and just not
clip through it turns out even though I
had done the setup right I was building
up too much speed to actually make it
through the barrier I know this because
I asked the Wind Waker HD speed earning
Discord and they knew exactly what the
problem was and answered back right away
you can actually still find the question
there if you go to the practice slel
section and look for October 17th now
coincidentally temp dad had the exact
same issue while trying the exact same
trick he also built up too much speed
and also asked somebody on Discord for
help that's weird right in my next clip
I had just performed barrier Skip and
made it to ganon's Tower at this point
in my run I was exhausted from trying to
do barrier skip for hours and thought
all the hard trits were behind me that
was until I realized I needed the hut
shot an item I didn't have to beat this
guy to actually make it through genet's
Tower which is exactly why I did this
out of here oh no no no no no no no now
in his run tempestad came to the same
conclusion and strangely reacted in the
exact same
way oh no no no no no in this next clip
he just straight up steals my stupid
joke when I'm leaving Windfall Island
for the first time obviously in a video
about not using the wind using the saale
was out of the question so I thought
it'd be funny if I set up this epic
start to an adventure and then just have
me sit there because I couldn't use the
sail and we can head out into the open
ocean and start our
[Music]
adventure obviously tempestad thought it
was funny too because he put it in his
[Music]
video but at the end of the day who
cares right he copied like three things
in my video it's not even a big deal who
cares if he copied one of my jokes it
wasn't even that good
anyways wait what is this he copied my
[ __ ] speech
so remember that issue I mentioned
earlier about not having the hood shot
to beat this guy well to get around this
you have to perform a trick called trial
skip which happens to be one of the
hardest tricks in the Wind Waker you
basically have to perform a complex
series of inputs to get yourself out of
bounds then float over towards this door
it may seem easy but it's not this trick
took me over 3 hours to do during those
3 hours I got really frustrated and went
to some dark places so I wrote this
stupid inspirational speech to try and
convey that to the viewer and no word of
a lie Tempest stat gamer copied the
whole thing almost word for word this
broke me I tried to stay positive I
tried to keep going but I just couldn't
I couldn't do do this I play Pikman I
don't play Zelda why would I even think
that I could I don't have the skills to
pull this off I have no idea what the
[ __ ] I'm
doing why did I think I could do this
challenge why did I think I could make
this video why did I think I could
become a YouTuber because I can't I'm
not good enough
not only is it copied word for word but
he also shot it the exact same the
camera spins around Link in the same way
in the same spot he cuts to Black the
same moment I do he recreates my clip of
Link falling in the lava and then shows
him picking himself up from the ground
he even does these little stupid Zoomin
I did he copied everything about this
speech to almost an insane degree I
honestly couldn't believe it it's also
kind of flattering because he thinks
this speech is such an infallible work
of art that he Dar not change a single
thing about it but it's not it's
actually kind of stupid it's overd
dramatic and honestly pretty
self-indulgent for God's sakes the whole
thing is almost 2 minutes long but that
was kind of the point I was just trying
to vent my frustration that part of the
video wasn't for the viewer it was for
me okay so we're going to do a little
Story Time real quick about a year and a
half ago I developed really severe
chronic jaw pain I won't go in depth on
how it happened but just know it
basically left me unable to work a
regular job all I could really do was
work on videos for this channel which is
what I did this unfortunately though led
to me getting some pretty bad depression
because I couldn't support my wife and
two children I felt like a complete
failure especially at the start when
this channel was making no money as this
channel has grown though this feeling
has somewhat been alleviated but when I
have moments like this where I spend
hours and hours on the trick those
feelings come crawling back I spiral
sometimes like if I can't do this trick
I won't be able to get this video out
and if I can't get this video out people
will stop watching and if people stop
watching this channel will die and I'll
be [ __ ] this is what goes through my
head sometimes and it was something I
was just trying to express through this
stupid over dramatic speech it was
something that was very personal to me
which is why it sucked so much when I
found out tempestad stole it he just
took it from me and said that he made it
he doesn't credit me anywhere in the
video or description he doesn't mention
me at all what's even worse is that he
takes credit for it in the comments bro
I came for entertainment and left with a
reflection how
strong I'm glad you liked it thank you
crazy you inspired me more than all my
teachers it's an honor Brian I really
thank you really it's an honor
it's an honor stealing other people's
[ __ ] this mentality is crazy to me he is
straight up just lying to his fans and
taking credit for something he stole
stealing from someone's video is one
thing but to actively lie to people and
say that you made it is
insane where is the shame how do you
sleep at night knowing you've done this
[Music]
needless to say I was pissed off the
whole thing was funny at first but
tempestad had just crossed the line the
problem was I still didn't speak Spanish
and even though I had YouTube's autot
translate I felt like if I was going to
get serious about this it wasn't going
to be enough so I made the decision to
contact an old rival of mine a rival now
turned Ally I contacted lemon from the
backlogs I basically asked him if he
knew anyone that could help me out with
my current situation and luckily for me
there were a bunch of members from his
firebomb Academy that spoke Spanish and
were willing to help me out the first
one documented all the times he copied
me throughout the video and presented it
in this nicely formatted Google Document
let's chck some out shall we we have
left behind our title as the Wind Waker
and have ascended to who we were always
meant to be the
Waker remember before we did all this
[ __ ] we had just beaten the Forsaken
Fortress for a second time and we were
supposed to be in high rule watching the
cut scene where Tetra is revealed to be
Zelda not skipping barriers and trials
for 17 hours trying to get the light
arrows think
no matter what angle you throw her at or
where you throw her from it just doesn't
matter without the wind she can't get up
there so is that it is the Run already
over well not exactly
[Music]
then an absolute Hero by the name of
Walt risney went through tempestad
Gamer's entire script and colorcoded all
the lines in three different colors
green for original content that
tempestad had written himself yellow for
lines that were similar to mine but had
some words changed around and red which
was basically a word for word copy this
is that entire script look at how much
red there is it's basically all red
there are 40 pages to this thing and
there isn't a single page without a red
mark on it oh there's this one that's
almost all green good job dude you
almost wrote a single page
let's quickly take a look at some of
these copied portions so you can see
what I mean and Hyrule is weird mainly
because it contains the end of the game
genet's Tower if you go outside the
castle you can literally see it off in
the distance the only problem is there's
a massive barrier blocking you from
getting to it you're supposed to break
down this barrier at the end of the game
when you have the powered up master
sword and all the Triforce pieces hey
unfortunately for us the tentacles
create an impenetrable force field and
no matter what you just can't reach it
but guess what we don't have to reach it
because we have our good friend and item
slide to help us out once
[Music]
again and I'm not exaggerating using
this method link will multiply his speed
by 1.2 every single frame and since the
Wind Waker runs at 30 frames a second
that's a lot of speed really quickly in
fact you can build up so much speed like
this that you can just crash the
game a few others took a look at both
videos and compared them and the general
sentiment was that around 80% of the
script was stolen if not more
80% my original script for this video is
23 pages long and almost 10,000 words it
took me 4 days to write it then
tempestad gamer came along copied the
whole thing made a couple of changes and
called it his own I'm credited nowhere
in the video or description and he
doesn't even mention my name once that
little section of the video I mentioned
earlier when I thought he was crediting
me was just him showing off one of my
Clips it was just me getting the bottle
from the submarine and he probably
showed me doing it because he was too
lazy to do it himself but it's honestly
just hilarious to me that he even put my
name in this section of the video like
the whole video should have my name on
it it's my video but tempestad doesn't
look at it this way he thinks it's his
video just look at some of his comments
he has no issue taking credit for
someone else's work and when he's called
out for it this is his defense I'm sure
I've seen a video very similar to this
on some Channel The Challenge is the
same but there's no channel that brins
it with a girl named ventti and that is
so epic he thinks because he made link
into a girl that the video is completely
original all he did was go to game
banana.com and download this link mod by
Pokey Sophie who he also didn't credit
by the way and he thinks this absolves
him from any plagiarism it's [ __ ]
insane and the sad part is it keeps
going I only showed you a small portion
of this video but there's so much more
he copied it would honestly be easier
showing the part s he didn't copy rather
than the ones he did it's just so much
Honestly though even after all of this I
still wasn't going to do anything he
didn't get a ton of views on the video
and he's a relatively small YouTuber so
I felt like if I called him out it would
have felt like bullying in some weird
way so I didn't do it I just decided to
take it on the chin and Let It Go that
was until I checked some of his other
videos
wait what I swear I've seen this
before this is a video titled can you
beat Zelda orcarina time without the
acarina by a YouTuber named offbeat
drill in the video he pulls off some
insane trits and some nasty glitches to
get through the entire game without the
aquarena it is genuinely a great video
and I know this because I watched it
when it first came out it was released
on May 18th
2024 then 1 month later tempestad gamer
released this I completed Zelda acarina
of time but without the Ocarina a very
similar titled video which has a very
similar thumbnail so naturally after I
found out he copied my entire video I
wanted to see just how similar these
ones were and uh yeah they're pretty
similar the legend of zel ocarino time
tells a story of a boy who dives into a
town sewage system to retrieve a Fisher
Price toy and uses said toy to learn a
song from a scile old man in a windmill
but what if we didn't want to do any of
that in fact what if we wanted to beat
the entire game without obtaining the
Ocarina or learning any songs at all
this would certainly be a difficult
undertaking because as the title of the
game suggests it is almost a shot forsh
shot remake of offbeats video everything
is the same from the words he uses to
the clips he uses to the pictures he
uses he even copies offbeats Fisher
Price choke right at the start of the
video The Legend of Zelda Ocarina time
tells a story of a boy who dives into a
town sewage system to retrieve a Fisher
Price toy
but hey he did use different Fisher
Price toys instead of the joyful drums
he chose the wacky horn now that's
originality it keeps going too look at
this it's just shot for shot the same he
even copies another one of offbeat's
jokes where he Compares this Kiri boy to
the member of the Lollipop Guild except
his version doesn't make sense because
it's ET in a wig tempestad do these two
look the same to you I don't know if
something's Lost in Translation here but
I genuinely don't understand it the
whole video is like this though like
watch here's some more shop forshop
copying to round up all the cus to earn
myself an empty bottle from the cuu lady
open the grave at the graveyard to get
the Highland Shield that I'll need as
Ault link later on right after that he
uses the same pictures again but this
time he doesn't even bother switching
them up he just rips them straight from
the video tempestad likes doing this a
lot there's a picture later on in the
video that shows the shadow Temple's
basic structure which offbeat drill
grabbed from this video here and wrote
his own test over it and guess what he
correctly credits him in the description
you want to know what tempestad Gamer
does he just steals the picture and
doesn't credit any one isn't that fun or
this one where he just happens to put up
the same three medallions at the exact
same point in the video but wait guys he
put them in a slightly different order
that makes it not stealing what's
hilarious about this too is that he
copies the pictures to such an absurd
degree like at the start of the video
when offbeat drill shows the medallions
he doesn't remove the white border from
the image so neither Nei does tempest
add but if we go back to the clip I just
showed he does remove the white borders
so obviously Tempest dad had to copy
that like why why are you like this you
don't need to copy this hard this
doesn't make the video better it's such
a small irrelevant detail why copy this
it's [ __ ] crazy another thing
tempest. gamer likes to do
is cheat which isn't nearly as serious
as the whole plagiarism thing but it is
kind of funny so I wanted to point it
out it's also completely fine to do if
done in the correct way but tempestad
doesn't do it in the correct way he
tries to hide it like here they have to
perform a glitch to get to the entrance
of the Forest Temple without the hook
shot offbeat drill shows himself
performing an insane glitch where he
hovers to the entrance using bomb chews
tempestad shows someone else doing it
and then just magically appears at the
top he doesn't explain anything he
doesn't show off what he did he just
appears at the top now people are
probably going to say how did he get up
there if he didn't perform the glitch he
doesn't have the hood shot he can't get
up there any other way yeah he just used
a moon jump cheat tempestad is playing
on a PC Port of the game called ship of
harkinian I know this because when he
resets the game in the video it shows
off the logo for the port and guess what
the ship of arcanian has it has cheats
specifically a moon jump cheat so he
just showed someone else doing it and
moon jumped up there himself the funny
thing is this would be completely fine
if he just admitted to it this trick
looks like an absolute nightmare just
look at this thing I wouldn't want to do
this either but just say you couldn't do
the trick be transparent with your
audience nobody is going to Care I've
done it a bunch of times in my videos in
my beating Paper Mario backwards video I
couldn't perform a trick called lzs so I
used a paper Mario practice ROM to cheat
my way through it but I admitted that in
the video I told my audience what I did
and I did the same thing in my Wind
Waker without the Wind video I couldn't
perform the manual super swim so I told
my audience that Tempest ad also did the
same thing in his Wind Waker video but
I'm pretty sure he only did that because
he was copying me and listen I know it's
a little lame that I didn't do it myself
but I promise you this is the last time
it'll happen in this
[Music]
run if I actually perform the trick I
have no doubt in my mind he would have
shown someone else doing it and
magically appeared on Dragon Roost but
yeah he does this type of thing quite a
bit in this video like when he finally
beats the Forest Temple he walks into
the blue light to claim the forest
Medallion which you literally can't do
as young Link because it soft locks the
game this cutscene showing off the
little de tree guy will just freeze
offbeat mentions this in his video and
actually does a super complex trick to
get around it it's also mentioned in
another video by mandatory pixel where
he beats Al Karina of time with only
young Link and I even went to the
acarina of time speedrunning Discord to
make sure this was the case everyone
says you can't do this without the
glitch but tempestad walks into the
light grabs his Medallion and doesn't
mention a thing knowing full well that
he didn't do the glitch and his game is
going to crash and he won't be able to
collect the forest Medallion his
audience doesn't know this because he
doesn't say anything he just hides it
and avoids telling the truth in another
section of the video when he's out of
bounds in the Shadow Temple he turns on
environmental Collision so he can see
where he's going he says it's so the
audience can understand what's happening
but let's be real it's just for him to
cheat because this is what it looks like
without Collision on on you can't see a
thing and it's impossibly hard to
navigate in another clip he does the
same thing he did in the Forest Temple
except this time at the Spirit Temple he
shows a clip of someone else doing it
and then magically just appears at the
top like I said before all these
examples aren't as serious as the
blatant plagiarism but it does help
paint a picture of the type of person
tempestad gamer is he wants you to think
he made these videos he wants you to
think he's some kind of God gamer who
can perform these super hard tricks he
doesn't want to admit he can't do it so
he lies even about stupid stuff like
glitches that he could easily tell the
truth about and nobody would care it's
honestly kind of sad oh and another
thing I wanted to mention real quick
that I just found kind of funny is that
anytime tempestad finds a trick to help
him out his run he thans Jesus but who
he's actually thinking is offbeat
because he copied his entire video he
actually thanks Jesus for helping him
with research does he think research is
just watching someone else's video and
copying it at the end of the video he
says this I have to thank Jesus and
darker who are the people who help me
most in this video uh I think you're
forgetting someone dude dude but yeah
that's pretty much all I have to say
about this one it's the same situation
as my video where so much of it is
copied it'd be easier to know the parts
that aren't than the parts that are if I
showed you everything it would just be
clip after clip after clip of two guys
pretty much saying the exact same words
but I think I gave you guys the general
gist of things with what I showed and
besides we have to move on because oh
boy there 's more so after going through
offbeat drills video I checked out
Tempest ad's Channel some more and
noticed another thumbnail that seemed
really familiar to me this time though I
didn't need to translate the title I
could already tell what it said can you
beat Majora's Mask in a 3-day cycle this
same video was done by a YouTuber known
as smithi except Smith's video came out
more than a year before Tempest stads
did and guess what you guys are going to
be shocked he copied the whole thing no
song of time no resets speed and would
require major glitches to beat no
glitches are used in this
run and here's a crazy list of things
that is needed to be done first to
achieve this we need to get some AATA of
Awakening from the monkey to breach wood
for temple to get the
bow the bow is required to get us into
mountain path which leads the snowhead
temple before we can even reach the
temple we need the lens of Truth Goron
mask and the Goron's lullabi
all of this is required to get the fire
arrows within the temple the fire arrows
are required to melt the ice blocking
the powder K Goron
and yeah it just keeps going on like
this again tempestades video is almost a
shot for shot remake he even does this
stupid scream at the same time the mask
sneaking into the house and countering
some nightmare
fuel this isn't part of the game this is
edited in he does this so much where he
just copies the stupidest things for no
reason like here he uses the same effect
for the Goron rolling here he uses the
same Bell effect at the exact same time
however I heard something I didn't want
to hear the bells are ringing
[Music]
out here Smith's talking about buying
red potions and bomb shoes earlier in
the run so he shows it off with black
and white footage naturally tempesta
gamer has to do the exact same thing
later in the video smithi makes a joke
about the creepy link statue haunting
you if you don't like his video so
again tempestad has to do the same thing
he doesn't put it in text he just says
it out
loud and one of the funnier examples he
just straight up copies the way smithi
says the name of the song the final song
we need the new wave BOS
NOA New Wave BOS NOA you cannot speak
Spanish at all until this person is
copying just by the way he says the word
the whole video is like this though
what's hard to get across is just how
much is copied everything is done in the
exact same way if smithi does something
tempestad has to do it too no matter
what it is I think there's one time
where he uses a different trick to do
something but it's such a minuscule
change that it doesn't matter and I know
there's going to be people out there who
will be like oh they're the same
challenge of course the the videos are
going to be similar yeah the thing is
similar is fine but this is just
straight up copying to show you what I
mean let's look at two more videos can
you beat Zelda Ocarina of Time without
the Ocarina by offbeat drill again and
can you beat Ocarina of Time with no
Ocarina by smithi yeah smithi did the
same challenge run as offbeat drill now
let's look at the intros side by side
and see if Smith it copied him the
Legend of Zelda ocarino time tells a
story of a boy who dives into a town
sewage system to retrieve a Fisher Price
toy and uses said toy to learn a song
from a scile old man in a windmill but
what if we didn't want to do any of that
in fact what if we wanted to beat the
entire game without obtaining the
Ocarina or learning any songs at all the
Ocarina of Time the sacred instruments
protected by hyo's royal family integral
to everything that happens to link in
his quest to save Hyrule it opens the
door of time it gives link the Legendary
Blade the master sword it opens a
pathway to the sacred realm allowing
ganon's evil plan to be fulfilled but
what happens if link never plays it see
how different these are see how there's
no [ __ ] Fisher Price toys this is how
this is supposed to be done you're
allowed to take someone else's idea you
just have to make it your own which
smithi does a great job of doing here
hell I I've done the same thing myself
my red only run basically uses every
trick found in this video by mocha G but
the videos themselves couldn't be more
different I got this idea from Nathaniel
Bandy and this one from the backlogs god
the video that made this channel start
to pop off was the exact same idea as
lemon's video I watched his saw he
couldn't complete the challenge knew I
could and then just did it
I used his same idea but then improved
upon it that's what challenge running
and speed running is all about improving
on other people's [ __ ] but when you copy
like this it doesn't improve anything in
fact it makes the video worse by copying
someone's video like this you're
basically just creating an inferior
version and I'll show you exactly how
this works every one of Tad's videos are
shorter than the ones he cop CED do you
know why this is It's because he can't
literally copy everything if he did
YouTube's copyright system would flag
his ass and he would get copyright
strikes so he does little things like
make link a different color change
around words and choose different Fisher
Price toys but the most devious thing he
does is just straight up remove parts
from the video since he can't copy
everything he ends up removing sections
that that he deems unnecessary which
usually ends up being explanations for
why stuff is done a great example of
this is in Smith's video he explains
that you need to talk to the Goron baby
and then the Goron Elder as the Goron
himself to learn the Goron's lullaby but
he theorizes it might be faster if he
talks to the Goron baby as a human
because you already have to go where the
baby is when you're unlocking the Goron
mask then when he TS to the Goron Elder
to unlock the song he's surprised that
it actually works prison to my surprise
speaking to the Goron baby first as a
human worked testat Gamer does the same
thing but he explains none of the
backstory so when he unlocks the song
and says we realize that talking to the
baby Goran as a human first worked it
doesn't make any sense because he
doesn't explain that you're supposed to
do it as a Goran he just does it and
then says the same line as smithi so the
viewer is sitting there like wait what
why wouldn't that work another great
example of this is in the Ocarina
without Ocarina video offb drill
explains that he can't get the boss key
because the song stone that you need the
Ocarina to break is blocking a switch
that leads to the key so he has to
perform this crazy out of bounds glitch
to get to the boss room instead tempesta
gamer doesn't expl explain any of this
and just does the trick for some reason
at least that's what it would seem like
to the viewer they'd be thinking why are
you not just getting the boss key why
are you doing this super hard trick
instead I know the reason and you know
the reason but the viewer watching his
video doesn't know because he doesn't
explain it itmes for a worse and much
more confusing video for the viewer but
he can't help this because he doesn't
have a choice he can't just literally
copy everything he can't just take
someone else's script word for word dub
over it in Spanish and put it on his
channel right that would be insane
there's no way he would do
that so when all this went down I
contacted smithi to let him know that
one of his videos had been stolen and
what he said next genuinely surprised me
he knew he knew all about it he had
dealt with temp gamer before because
this wasn't the first time he had stolen
one of his videos when I saw this I was
like oh [ __ ] what else did he steal then
I remembered all the comments on his
videos in preparation for making this
video I comb through all the comments on
every video Tempest dad stole and on the
Majora's Mask one I kept seeing weird
comments like this I like the old
version of this video better with all
the detail that's play ations but thank
you very much for this content I'm very
glad you liked it let's hope they don't
throw away the video again I redid it
from scratch it should be fine now well
thought out storm delete the original
video so they can search for it and
watch the video to farm searches visits
and comments plus 10,000
IQ it wasn't for that at first I was a
little confused but after talking to
smithi it all made sense tempestad had
just literally taken Smith's script from
the transcript YouTube provides you
translated it to Spanish and uploaded it
to his channel smithi told me he copied
his script thumbnail and even used some
of his b-roll footage and if for some
reason you don't believe me or smithi
just look at his comment section because
he [ __ ] admits to it were you
inspired by Smith's video I'm sure even
the script is similar yes indeed I
downloaded it and re-uploaded it
congratulations for noticing thanks for
the dubbing you did it is very beautiful
in fact it was not a dubbing I
downloaded the video from Smith fake and
it is the same this video is a poor
quality copy of YouTuber Smith's video
it literally uses the same rules and
even copies some of the
phrases how pathetic anything else crack
he just openly admits to stealing
someone else's work and seems proud of
it it's honestly really gross he
literally just took someone else's video
uploaded it to his channel and called it
his own doing that of course was
incredibly stupid because the Spanish
viewer noticed it and immediately
alerted smithi to what had happened he
then got in contact with YouTube who
told him the best course of action was
to copyright strike the video if you
didn't know copyright stries are pretty
serious if you get three of them your
channel gets deleted so YouTubers
usually only use these in the most
blatant of cases like when someone
steals your [ __ ] script yeah turns
out scripts are protected under
copyright law so smithi copyright struck
the original video and got it taken down
yeah the version I showed you earlier
the version that blatantly copies smithi
script J not and basically everything
else is the improved redone version his
original video was taken down because of
blatant plagiarism so he comes back and
releases this steaming pile of garbage
thinking it's all good because he used a
slightly different scream this does not
make it okay this is a joke but the sad
thing is is that it worked smithi knows
about this version of the video he gave
tempestad gamer the go-ahead to release
it and how can you blame him dealing
with this [ __ ] as a YouTuber can be
really scary now I don't want to put
words in Smith's mouth or even try to
explain how he feels because I genuinely
don't know but I do know one thing I
know why people like tempestad always
seem to steal from smaller lesser known
creators it's because they think they
can get away with it when Tempest stole
from me this channel only had around
40,000 subscribers at the time of this
video is recording smithi has around
24,000 and offbeat drill has 17 people
like tempestad Target these types of
channels because they know it's easy
prey they know they'll be scared they
know they won't fight back they know
they'll be confused and I know this
because this is how I felt when it
happened to me I'm still a relatively
small YouTuber I don't really know my
rights I didn't know if what tempestad
gamer was doing was wrong or not hell I
didn't even know about the copyright tab
in YouTube Studio I didn't want to
falsely copyright strike his video and
jeopardize this YouTube channel that me
and Tai have worked so hard to build if
it weren't for lemon helping me through
this I probably would have done nothing
thing I probably would have just let it
go there's a reason tempestad won't
Target someone like lemon lemon is a
huge YouTuber with a massive fan base
and contacts at YouTube If tempestad
stole one of his videos lemon would send
his ass to the shadow realm in 2 seconds
he knows this this is why he steals from
smaller YouTubers he is a bully and he
does it for a reason there is a lot of
money in this I made thousands of
dollars off my Wind Waker video but it
also took me 3 weeks to make it and I
work fulltime on YouTube which means it
probably took me over a 100 hours to do
looking at offbeat and Smith's videos I
would assume they're in the same boat
making videos like this takes a long
time but you know what makes that time
go by a lot quicker when you steal
someone else's work you can put in one
tenen of the effort and reap the same
rewards his win Waker video might not
have gotten a lot of views but his
Majora's Mask one did it's not 2 million
like Smith's video but still 150,000
views is a decent chunk of change and
his video he copied off offbeat almost
has more views than the original which
is honestly disgusting tempestad gamer
doesn't doesn't provide any value with
his videos he only takes it takes from
smaller YouTubers putting dozens of
hours into their videos or from the
viewers mistakenly thinking they like
his content when they really like
someone else's what tempestad Gamer does
only benefits him and hurts everyone
else what he does is not okay people
might think oh he's a small YouTuber
himself and besides he only stole three
videos give the guy a break well first
of all I don't even know if he only
stole three videos the only reason I
knew he stole the other ones was because
I watched the original versions myself
he very well might have other videos on
his channel that are stolen that I just
don't know about but even if he doesn't
it doesn't matter he might be small now
but if he keeps copying like this he
could get big very quickly a you
YouTuber by the name of Carl jobst
recently released a video covering a
Russian YouTuber who basically does the
same thing as tempestad but on a much
bigger scale this guy steals people's
videos translates them into Russian and
makes thousands of dollars doing it in
one or two years time this could very
easily be tempestad so no I don't have
sympathy for him because he's small no
matter what your size is copying other
people's work is garbage and it needs to
stop so I didn't really know how to end
this video but I think I'm going to do
it like this tempestad if you're
watching this just stop stealing videos
man you do most of the tricks by
yourself so you're clearly a talented
gamer and the editing in your videos is
also pretty good just stop stealing
people's words you can do the challenges
that's not a problem just give us your
own experience doing it we don't need
you to give us smithi or offbeats
experiences we already have them they
made their videos and you're not only
hurting others by doing this you're
hurting yourself as well you're not
growing as a Creator or as a person you
can't sit back after finishing a video
and be proud of what you made and all
those comments praising your work
probably mean very little to you because
you know deep down it's not yours
tempestad stop stealing people's [ __ ]
and I promise you will be happier okay
so the last thing I'm going to say is Go
watch these two videos they are two
incredible videos made by two YouTubers
who are criminally underviewed support
the people who make real [ __ ] because
that's what YouTube is all
about oh and I want to thank lemon and
his trusty firebomb Academy for helping
make this video possible whoever helped
with translation or examining the videos
please reach out to me because I'd like
to thank you personally anyways guys
that's it for me and I hope I will catch
you in the next
one this video was made possible through
the support of our amazing patrons I
want to give a special shout out to
