They were outed for making money off of TASes and at one point was lifting TASVideos YT encodes (which is in violation of YT). The account was made redundant thanks to TASVideosChannel. The account had permission from a Tomb Raider RTA runner that as long as it's not monetized it can be uploaded. You can guess that it was monetized. He was outed for making money off others works and any excuse he made was brought back to "and your account still exists today because-" instead of doing the simple thing and moving everyone to TASVideosChannel and leaving the speedrunnet videos from his old site up.

EZScape, I think you're mistaken about the cheaters videos. I actually got introduced to speedrunning videos because of that video. I don't think it makes the community look like it's riddled with cheaters. I enjoyed it because it showed the lengths the community will go to expose cheaters and bring them to light. It was very cool to see the honor and enthusiasm the community had for their passion.

Dude, great video. Respect to the way you present the speed running community. Edit: FYI kids love watching videos again and again. I found this out by watching my kids over the years they were growing. It's insane how many views are accumulated on videos watched by them. Some of the videos include grown ups using kiddy style voices. Some are grown ups producing videos with kids as the presenters. The tell tale signs for this is the lack of engagement for these videos, as kids that watch them do not comment on the videos often. Anyway, I thought I'd share.

Nice to see another video from you! Is your video of Doodlebob gameplay on KZread yet? 11:41 Yeah, Dev's react is a fun series. 14:50 I'd bet it's because of the "KZread Kids" stuff. 15:32 Thank goodness for that archival....

I remember my first exposure to speedrunning being either a 16 star or 0 star run of SM64. I recall watching a video like that multiple times back in the mid to late '00s... with a dial-up connection that made videos buffer for like 600% of their total runtime...

Hi! Just wanna clarify the Roblox Clip. The game played was Speedrun 4, one of the most popular roblox games (and roblox speedrun on speedrun.com). That video doesn't show the speedrunning community that Roblox has, and is just a gameplay video of the game.

Return of the king

11:40 this part is the most important of the whole video. So interesting, I always though GDQ was the first to do it, it's interesting to hear your take on it EZScape

when he said "this vid has more views than my entire youtube career"... *I felt that*

A lot of the reason I think the TAS bot records were everywhere is because I remember a short while ago that they were FLOODING the recommended, mostly bc of all of the challenge run videos everywhere. That, and i can see the mario stuff ending up on KZread Kids or something. Maybe it was both
