Jesse, no doubt, mismanaged that platform. I'd see him giving financial advice on his channel and I would roll my eyes. This dude is the last person on the planet to give finacial advice. Face it, KZreadrs are not the sharpest tools in the box. They all are about making fast easy money with the least amount of effort. Get rich quicker scammers. Jesse was lazy and didnt stay on top of things. So he should've "owned it" instead of blaming everyone else for his carelessness.

In short: the nightmare blunt rotation started a business
storyfire on fire is more like it. In grimss defense, the whole reason why people disliked this era is because of how they all blended reality and drama for views into EVERYTHING they did, look at how messed up boogie was afterward, it became hard for even his fans to tell if he was being serious, or if he was just doing something for story fire. So of course they invite a youtuber who isn't part of their inner circle, who does backyard wrestling and is in character, he doesn't know that the party isn't in character because as usual their doing it as a mix of both. You can't light a dumpster fire for clicks then get mad when you invite another pyro into your sphere. They blurred their own reality way to much that the house party, that was on them. They were just like 2 steps away from Jaystation and everyother "prank" "ghosthunter" youtuber. They lit the match and started their fire, pun intended. Jesse recording boogies freak out is a great example of what I'm talking about, Jugg Head did it for drama and a skit for himself for views while Boogie was real life having a meltdown and he used it for Fing views. Jugg Head is a dumpster fire and I'm glad he fell off. Honestly, good on Brian for taking him for a ride.

LOL Boogie was not diagnosed with autism, you can actually find proof of that by searching up a Reddit thread titled "Boogie lied about being autistic". You can tell from the clip at 21:17 that this was filmed a good year ago, so this lines up with the timing of the Reddit thread. The TLDR is that Boogie claimed to be diagnosed with autism, people questioned it, Boogie name-dropped a specific clinic, someone got in touch with that clinic to see if they do adult autism testing and they replied saying they didn't do autism testing whatsoever and couldn't even recommend a place close by to do it. Either way, it makes no sense as to why Boogie would be spending money to get a diagnosis when he's apparently in financial ruin.

I seriously can’t believe nobody is commenting about the 200$ hits of DMT. Y’all realize that shit is like 40$ a gram right ? That’s like 2$ a hit. Someone fuckin hustled you so hard.
I was one of the KZreadrs who left to join StoryFire back in 2020. While the platform never became what was promised, I still had a good time there. My KZread was dying out, from millions of views to nothing. StoryFire seemed to me as a KZread alternative where i could maybe recapture my glory days of content creation.. I sacrificed my decently large audience and reputation to join them exclusively. There’s many talented creators there, but the truth remains the same… StoryFire will never be a serious KZread alternative. Luckily I returned to KZread and fortunately had new success and now I’m well off, but even still, I do not regret my time on StoryFire. I’ll never forget it…

Update: so one of my video thumbnails is in this video at 12:24 - bottom right. I’m honored to be in this video as a cameo and now it is all worth it now that I’m in the same lore universe as McJuggerNuggets, Kidbehindacamera, Boogie2988, Keemstar, GrimsToyShow, and SkyDoesMinecraft. LOL

I only know and watched StoryFire for RackaRacka’s uncensored version of Ronald McDonald Nikocado Avocado mukbang video sometime around late 2020 or early 2022, maybe StoryFire can merge with Butch Hartman’s Oaxis Entertainment.

grim is the type of guy to step on others and be like "well, i let people step on me all the time, so why is it suddenly a problem on others"
This was an insane documentary! I loved it bro. I’d actually really love to see everyone to try and understand each other, what all happened, and what their actual original intentions were. I think that’d clear a lot of things up and maybe be cool with each other. Might not all be friends again, even tho that’d be awesome as hell. This helps me understand their side of things a whole lot better.

I gotta know what keemstar is thinking 💀💀💀
I’m honestly curious about the reasoning why Keem acts like he does. Is it a character, is that just who he is? Is it nature, is it nurture? Has anyone who majored in Psychology dissected his mind yet?

Glad to see this all documented and to hear the truth and thoughts from everyone involved. I was a moderator for the platform during the time (still am technically), and worked closely mostly with Brian. Things were the same behind the scenes for those of us working with the owners of the company - not knowing the truth of what was going on behind the scenes. The whole thing was a mess.

KZread is kept afloat because it's own by Google. Maintaining a video server even with cold storage is a monumental money sink. A cheap knockoff piggybacking on another hosting created by questionable motley crew of a KZreadrs is sure as hell gonna' pivot straight into the sewage pipeline.

no way those were his gf and her gf or if they were not exactly the most faithful if they are providing oral for drugs plus then being okay with it as the partner ? not a chance
This was hilarious in a "damn these people are dumbasses" kinda way.
Ever since I saw that you had to apply to upload on storyfire, I knew it wasn'nt going to last long. Especially since it stated you had to express what your "series" was going to be about and could only upload those videos exclusively to storyfire
Had no idea Grims Toy Show was in on the story lol

As a guy who bought into the Storyfire hype, Storyfire sucked. It was clearly an app that was made by people who make KZread content, but don't watch KZread content. The UI was a broken mess, they didn't have dislikes during a time when KZread still *did*, and only a couple of creators like Keemstar actually bothered to upload exclusive content to the site. But countless commentary channels still told their audiences it could be "the new KZread" because they saw the opportunity for monetization. Honestly it was a flat out betrayal.

After actually sitting down and watching all of this, I feel like my take on the platform is only further solidified. The whole announcement that McJuggernuggets made when he was calling out to his audience and saying that the problem with KZread was that it felt "too corporatized" when there was *never* a point in Storyfire's creation where profit motive wasn't the sole factor. His actions contradict that language repeatedly, especially with the repeated inching towards crypto and other scummy methods of making money. If the goal was to remove all of the toxic "officespace" esque drama and create a platform where creators could create things freely, then the site was a complete and utter failure from its most basic conception. Here's the fact of the matter: there are many KZread alternatives that exist right now where you can upload anything your heart desires. But none of them are nearly as monetizable. And as long a monetization is the primary motivator of these KZreadrs, we will never ever see a migration of KZread audiences to an actually better platform. All this story really shows is that these commentary KZreadrs said a whole lot of stuff without knowing any details, and pushed their audiences in a direction that could make them money. Just like with TikTok. TikTok is an AWFUL platform, arguably worse than KZread, but you'll still see creators promote it, because they make a whole lot of revenue off the site. The age of "KZreadrs fighting the good fight" is over.
funny how they wanted to be treated like 30 year old men when they're acting like kids fresh into college
I remember watching videos like "Top 10 4Chan Pranks" like 10 years ago, it's crazy to see how far your channel has come
