2022-1-1 THE DARK SIDE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
[0:00 - 0:29] What's up everybody? It's your chance here. Some of you may know me, some of you may not. If you do know me, what's up? How you guys doing?
[0:29 - 0:54] If you don't, my name is Chins, and I'm formally known on YouTube by various names, such as DK Customs, LCW Customs, but most commonly I'm known as Cyrax, as a lot of people know me.
[0:54 - 1:14] But I'm here to speak on a very serious topic that everyone's afraid to speak on that I'm actually going to share a very real insight on as something that has actually almost had their lives ruined by social media.
[1:14 - 1:30] If you guys don't know, I started YouTube back in 2009. I actually started the day after my best friend David had unfortunately passed in a drowning accident.
[1:30 - 1:47] My first video ever was a memorial to him, and stuff like that, and I posted it up. At first I didn't take it seriously. At first I didn't take YouTube seriously. It was just kind of something that I did.
[1:47 - 2:02] My main focus at that time was just getting through school, your typical teenager stuff, getting through school, worrying about chicks, that kind of stuff.
[2:02 - 2:18] But it wasn't until about 2013 when I started to take YouTube very seriously.
[2:18 - 2:35] Because I'd always had an knack for doing music and artwork, and I took more to doing the music side of things with YouTube.
[2:35 - 2:50] I initially started out on this site. At that time it was called Club Create, and then later on down the line it got switched to Loop Labs.
[2:50 - 3:01] And now Loop Labs, I don't know what's going on with it. I don't know if they're no longer in existence or working on new stuff. I don't know.
[3:01 - 3:20] But I had started posting instrumentals out there that I had made that weren't bad. They weren't bad for what they were, but they weren't up to par with what I'm doing now.
[3:20 - 3:31] To say the least. They were good. They were fired for what they were like. They were not bad. But they weren't as good as what I'm doing now.
[3:31 - 3:44] That's basically what I'm saying. And I went on and off between doing music and focusing on my schoolwork.
[3:44 - 3:55] And then, in about 2014, I came across this YouTuber Jacksepticeye. Now, Jacksepticeye was freaking awesome. I loved him.
[3:55 - 4:05] I loved what he was about. His gaming videos. The stuff he was doing was just really, really cool, and I really liked it.
[4:05 - 4:21] And at that time, there weren't very many gamer YouTubers out at that time. So I said, "Screw it. Why not take my love for trying to break records?"
[4:21 - 4:38] Which I was. I was very much into trying to break records at that time. Why not take my love for doing that and then my love for gaming?
[4:38 - 4:48] And I posted up, and I kind of did that. And on and off, it gained a little bit of attention, but not too much.
[4:48 - 5:17] But it wasn't until 2017, which is when I saw the dark side of social media. And I do mean the very dark side of social media.
[5:17 - 5:29] How I got into it was through this girl named Kendall Smith, who I had met through actually some good friends of ours.
[5:29 - 5:41] Me and her had started dating, and things were going good. Things were going very, very good.
[5:41 - 5:55] And then one day, I know where things just went very weird, honestly. They went very, very weird.
[5:55 - 6:06] She had actually come forward, and I know I sound crazy saying this, but this is legitimately what she believed.
[6:06 - 6:13] So believe me, I wish I was making this stuff up, but there's no way that I can make any of this up.
[6:13 - 6:27] But these next events that I'm about to speak about is what led to me being harassed over time, and how things got progressively worse.
[6:27 - 6:47] Well, Kendall hit me up the one day, like usual. And at first, I noticed that she was acting very out of character, very strange, and just very odd.
[6:47 - 7:02] And I kind of ignored it, thinking maybe it was just me, because it was a really rainy, nasty day out that day, so I kind of figured maybe it was just the weather.
[7:02 - 7:07] Maybe I was just kind of in one of those weird moods, whatever. Didn't think anything of it.
[7:07 - 7:24] But what Kendall told me next was, inside I kind of wanted to laugh, but at the same time I didn't, because I could tell that there was something not right.
[7:24 - 7:40] And Kendall had come forward and told me that she was part werewolf, and that if she had taken the meds that I was reminding her to take because she was taking the meds.
[7:40 - 7:56] Like, she told me that if she were to take those meds that she would be affected by it, and that it would affect that side of her.
[7:56 - 8:07] And at first I didn't know what to believe.
[8:07 - 8:19] At first, my first thought was, okay, I know there's things in this world that are unexplained, that we're not all sure of.
[8:19 - 8:32] And there are things in this world that, you know, we thought weren't real, but actually are. One of those things being the spirit realm.
[8:32 - 8:41] And at first I took it as that, but then I really thought about it, and I was like, there's no way.
[8:41 - 8:58] So I kindly asked her, hey, you know, go ahead and, you know, take your meds, chill out, relax, whatever.
[8:58 - 9:13] Well, when I reminded her a second time, she basically told me we were done, and that, you know, she was blocking me, whatever.
[9:13 - 9:20] And at that point I'm thinking, okay, you know, that's fine. You know, it is what it is.
[9:20 - 9:29] Now, I took it as just that. Like, I did not think she was going to do what she did next.
[9:29 - 9:41] I thought that she was just going to block me, leave it as is, not thinking anything of it, you know, and just leave things alone and move on with their life.
[9:41 - 10:00] Well, I was wrong. I found out through a friend of ours that she had blocked me, that Kanda went on to post videos on Facebook talking shit about me.
[10:00 - 10:12] And because I did not have a way to get the video directly to her, I had to go to my YouTube channel at that time.
[10:12 - 10:26] And I had made a video on there calling her out on her lies. And I knew she had a YouTube channel through a friend of ours who had linked me up to it.
[10:26 - 10:33] So I knew she would see what I was posting. I knew she would see the video.
[10:33 - 10:43] So I calmly asked her, like, hey, why the hell are you talking crap on me when I've not done anything to you?
[10:43 - 10:52] You know, I, you know, we broke up. I left you alone. You should have left me alone.
[10:52 - 11:09] Well, that's when the harassment with her started. And that continued on and off on YouTube here and there, and it garnered a little bit of attention, but not enough to do anything with.
[11:09 - 11:29] But around July of that next year is when things took a turn for the worst. And that's when everything really started to go downhill for me.
[11:29 - 11:45] That next year, she had faked her own death. And I literally I mean that in ever since the word, she literally tried to fake her own death.
[11:45 - 12:10] I was actually I was actually posting a YouTube video at the time when I had gotten a notification that my friend Boogeyman the Clown Paul had been dating her and he had posted at the time him or Kendall and Paul were dating.
[12:10 - 12:27] And I didn't know that until I saw his comment on my video stating that he hoped that was that I was happy and because Kendall was dead and then I was to blame.
[12:27 - 12:56] Well, in doing so, that garnered the attention of YouTubers such as Juggalo Drama Alert, a.k.a. Boy Boyu, who I didn't know who that was at the time, and it garnered the attention of one of my biggest trolls, MusicBizMarty, who I can honestly say is a, and I can genuinely say this without a doubt, he is genuinely a scumbag.
[12:56 - 13:13] Well, Marty began harassing me over it and I explained to him that I had nothing to do with it, that I had not spoken to her in like over a year.
[13:13 - 13:24] And ever since then, a lot of things have happened. I had been called for like the last, the next two years to follow.
[13:24 - 13:40] I had been called a murderer, a psychopath that I needed to kill myself, that they hoped I was happy because Kendall was pregnant when she killed herself.
[13:40 - 13:50] There was all kinds of wild, all kinds of wild accusations being thrown at me.
[13:50 - 14:07] Well, that harassment from Marty, after I cleared up my name with the Kendall stuff and I cleared my name, that's when things started getting really, really, really bad.
[14:07 - 14:15] I had started to get harassed by Marty on an almost daily basis.
[14:15 - 14:25] He would leave, you know, shitty comments on my channel or in my livestreams that I was doing because at that time I found out that, you know, you can livestream.
[14:25 - 14:33] And it was around the time when Google Hangouts was a thing. I don't know if many of you guys remember Google Hangouts.
[14:33 - 14:40] But that's around the time when all that went down.
[14:40 - 14:47] And Marty had, you know, screwed with me here and there.
[14:47 - 15:12] But it was when Jugglo Drama Alert found out about all this, that things were really starting to progress in a negative light because at the time I was being painted as a murderer, as a psychopath, and all this other stuff.
[15:12 - 15:34] Well, a couple, about a year and a half after, in 2019 is when things really took the worst turn and led me to where I now have trouble doing things.
[15:34 - 15:50] I actually got introduced to a YouTuber who I was very good friends with by the name of the real Miss Jamie Nicole.
[15:50 - 16:01] Now, at the time, I didn't know what a troll community was. I didn't know what the term troll meant. I had no idea of it whatsoever.
[16:01 - 16:13] I didn't know what that was, so I literally had to have somebody actually sit down and explain to me, hey, this is what a troll is. This is what they do.
[16:13 - 16:41] Okay, so I kind of kept my eye out. Okay. Well, that's what Jamie was on stream. She played the role of a troll, but outside of YouTube, the real Miss Jamie Nicole is actually one of the nicest people you could ever be around.
[16:41 - 16:56] She was super friendly, super nice, always asking if me and my family needed anything, always checking in, asking if we're all right.
[16:56 - 17:04] Anyway, that's just the kind of person that she was. She was very, very sweet, very, very nice.
[17:04 - 17:30] You know, and God rest her soul. She actually passed away that a couple months later after meeting her from either a drug overdose or COVID, like the cause of her death is still very much unknown.
[17:30 - 17:56] I can't say for certain because I'm always getting different stories, but it was after Jamie's passing that things got worse than what I could have ever imagined.
[17:56 - 18:17] Like, I never in my whole life thought that I would be in the position that I got put in. And when I mean being put in the position I got in, I mean, like, you know how you see, you know, those murders on TV and you think, oh, like, that'll never happen to me.
[18:17 - 18:38] You know, like, you don't think that kind of stuff will happen to you until it does. And that's kind of how it was with me, because after I found out what a troll was, I started seeing like all these people getting, you know, swatted and cops called and this and that and the other.
[18:38 - 18:53] Never thought that I would be a victim of that. Never thought that it would happen to me. I thought there was no way that's gonna happen to me. These guys aren't gonna do that. You know, they're not that evil.
[18:53 - 19:20] Oh, again, I was wrong. Because shortly after Jamie's death, that's when I really started to get attacked, like, fully fledged attack, personal life and all.
[19:20 - 19:30] People have been, you know, calling cops to my house, sending pizzas to my house, all kinds of stuff.
[19:30 - 19:54] And that carried on for about, from 2019. I know it was about 2020. I know it was 2020 when she had passed. Because 2019 was when a lot of the candle stuff was still continuing on.
[19:54 - 20:06] But after Jamie's passing in 2020, like I said, I was being harassed, attacked, getting cops into my house and this and the other.
[20:06 - 20:18] And all of that continued up into the beginning of last year. Well, I'd say towards like the middle, it was like eight months. Well, nine months now.
[20:18 - 20:27] And that's when things really got as the worst that I've ever seen on social media.
[20:27 - 20:34] As me and Marty still do not like each other. We cannot stand each other.
[20:34 - 20:45] He thought it would be funny to pull a very messed up catfish on me.
[20:45 - 20:53] Now, can you mind this person I do not know existed.
[20:53 - 20:59] And I've gotten a lot of heat from it. And I do mean a lot of heat from it.
[20:59 - 21:15] At one point, me and Marty, actually that time that she came around me and Marty, we're trying to squash our differences and squash our beef with each other.
[21:15 - 21:20] And we were like, look, you know, let's just be friends, you know.
[21:20 - 21:26] Well, this girl by the name of Madis whole reports showed up on his string.
[21:26 - 21:30] And when she first started talking to me, everything was good.
[21:30 - 21:34] You know, we started out as friends, yada, yada, yada.
[21:34 - 21:41] You know, one thing led to another very similar situation to the candle stuff.
[21:41 - 21:53] Very, very similar in the fact that she had begun to act crazy, but only this was on a live stream.
[21:53 - 22:11] She had began to act very weird on Marty's live stream, saying that she belonged to the streets of Costco and that she was strung out high, doped up, like she was acting very much out there.
[22:11 - 22:32] Well, when I saw her acting like that, I said, look, I can't be part of this.
[22:32 - 22:37] I have been through this once and I'm not doing it again.
[22:37 - 22:45] I've read that with one crazy pitch. I don't mean to deal with another.
[22:45 - 23:01] Well, it was after that incident that my life almost got ruined.
[23:01 - 23:17] About two or three days after that incident, with Madis whole reports, I did all I could do with candles and got rid of her blocker.
[23:17 - 23:25] Well, it wasn't until a couple of days after that things really got fucked up.
[23:25 - 23:43] Now, bear in mind, my phone number was already out there due to my ex-header, the one that lived here for a while, not the first header, but the second one.
[23:43 - 24:12] Basically, my number got put out there and shit, so I get this call from somebody who I thought was a supporter and a fan because she had claimed to be 17 years old.
[24:12 - 24:17] 17 was about to be 18 that very day.
[24:17 - 24:29] So by that point, she was literally 18 because she had said, hey, my birthday's in just a few minutes, you know, and I'm still, you know, I'm getting ready to graduate high school.
[24:29 - 24:32] I got help back here and I'm being bullied.
[24:32 - 24:39] What can I do to stop a lot of the bullying because I've never been in this situation.
[24:39 - 24:45] So I told her, okay, look, these are the things that I did when I was a kid in high school.
[24:45 - 24:56] When I was in high school, this is how I dealt with my bullying and how I made it stop for a short period of time.
[24:56 - 25:05] It wasn't a long term solution, but it was enough to, you know, get her through to where she could graduate without being harassed.
[25:05 - 25:13] And she had told me, hey, you know, I'm 18, you know, yada, yada, yada.
[25:13 - 25:18] And I told her, I was like, hey, cool. Happy birthday. That's awesome. Congratulations.
[25:18 - 25:25] Well, she had told me she had to go finish up some homework. I told her, okay, cool. I'll catch you later.
[25:25 - 25:29] No problem. I'll catch you in probably one of my streams or whatever.
[25:29 - 25:36] And she's like, all right, cool. You know, I'll see there or, you know, I'll call you or text you or whatever. Okay, cool.
[25:36 - 25:47] So a few hours goes by and I get a text message.
[25:47 - 25:55] And at that time I was actually, I still remember to this day what I was, I still remember to this very day what I was watching,
[25:55 - 26:01] which was the movie The Iron Giant, which is actually one of my personal favorite films.
[26:01 - 26:05] I actually like that movie. It's very, very good. Very well done.
[26:05 - 26:09] And to be honest, they don't make movies like that anymore and they should.
[26:19 - 26:26] Because everything is all CGI now and shit and it's dumb. But that's a topic for another video.
[26:26 - 26:37] Well, I'm this, like this girl hitting me up saying, hey, you know, I really like you. I've been watching you for a while.
[26:37 - 26:44] You know, since I'm, you know, basically 18, you know, would you want to dwell on me?
[26:45 - 26:52] And at first I hesitated, but then I was kind of like, you know, she's 18, you know, she's basically an adult.
[26:52 - 27:01] So I said, sure. And we had talked for a little bit, you know, back and forth.
[27:01 - 27:10] And I will admit things heated up in a good way. You know, like things got, things got a little bit spicy.
[27:11 - 27:21] Yeah, things got a little bit steamy. Not going to lie. Well, she had conned me into sending her a video and a photo of me.
[27:21 - 27:28] Oh, I didn't think anything of it. You know, she's 18. So I didn't think anything of it. She's a grown ass adult.
[27:31 - 27:41] Well, she turned around and sent a photo of what I assumed was her.
[27:41 - 27:51] Then I soon found out that was actually an underage girl with no shirt on at all.
[27:54 - 28:05] Right after she had sent that photo, she claimed to be 14 years old.
[28:07 - 28:23] And when she told me that, my heart fucking sank because I didn't know what was going on. I didn't I was I cannot say I was genuinely scared.
[28:23 - 28:35] I was genuinely scared because I didn't know if I was going to get in trouble for this shit. I didn't know what was going to happen.
[28:36 - 28:51] So I blocked her number, didn't delete anything, didn't delete any screenshots or nothing. I screenshotted everything, saved it, had both the original and the backup on hand.
[28:57 - 29:11] And I'm actually glad I did because that very next night the police got called out here by her or someone within her community.
[29:17 - 29:27] Well, that very night I am glad the police came out here to talk to me because they told me they're like, hey, what's going on?
[29:27 - 29:34] And one of the officers just happened to be one of my security guards from my old high school at East High.
[29:35 - 29:47] The guy had basically been my security guard from North up to Garfield and then from Garfield to East. So one of the one of the officers that came out knew me very well and knew who I was.
[29:47 - 29:57] And he had pulled me aside. He's like, hey, dude, like, you know, I'm sorry to show up on, you know, bad terms like this, but we need to talk.
[29:58 - 30:06] And so I'm like, sure, no problem. What's going on? Like, what's on your mind, man? Like, what's going on?
[30:06 - 30:23] And then he had told me about, you know, how somebody called him out here and that, you know, this happened and that happened, yada, yada, yada, something like, hold up, wait up.
[30:24 - 30:33] So he meant to tell me somebody was trying to tell you that I was a pedophile, right? Like, that's basically what you're saying, right?
[30:33 - 30:47] He's like, yeah, it's pretty much what they said. So and he was like, so, you know, can I just see your phone and, you know, like you, you know, so I can confirm that you're not because you're not a bad kid, you know, knowing you, I know who you are.
[30:47 - 31:05] And I was like, yeah, sure, no problem, man. So, you know, I grabbed my phone and I go to pull up the screenshots.
[31:06 - 31:21] Well, after I showed him the screenshots, he was like, oh, you know, clearly you're not doing anything wrong here. Well, right after I sent him the screenshots, somebody had, well, right after I showed it to him.
[31:22 - 31:38] I don't know why I said sent, but I'm going to show it to him. Right after I showed him that screenshot of what was said between me and her and sent between me and her, somebody had texted me the link to her YouTube channel.
[31:38 - 31:45] Now, bear in mind, I was unaware of her YouTube channel. I did not know she had one.
[31:46 - 31:54] And lo and behold, what do I see when I go to see that she's alive? I go to check it out.
[31:54 - 32:14] Lo and behold, what do I see other than Masshole reports, the last thing about how she catfish trained and how I'm now going to go to jail over something that she did.
[32:15 - 32:24] I kid you not. She was literally saying they're laughing at me, literally laughing at me the whole time, laughing.
[32:24 - 32:37] Well, the officers told me, they're like, hey, we know now that you're not a pedophile. Clearly, she is of age.
[32:37 - 32:44] You know, clearly, she's not a child. She's of age. And this is all a troll.
[32:45 - 32:51] Well, the one officer that, you know, that's a very good friend of mine and shout out to that officer. What's up, man?
[32:51 - 33:06] He had told me, you know, just be more careful of who you talk to. You know, you're not in trouble or anything. Just be more careful of who you talk to.
[33:07 - 33:15] Because when he was talking to me, verbatim, he said these words to the teeth that I'm not a pedophile.
[33:15 - 33:31] Now, if she was actually like legitimately underage and I actually went there to meet her, then, yes, I could have been arrested if she was underage and I had gone there to meet her.
[33:32 - 33:42] But clearly, I didn't go nowhere. Clearly, you know, you know, I obviously don't go anywhere.
[33:42 - 33:48] So, I mean, I was in the clear and he told me just be more careful who you talk to.
[33:48 - 33:55] And I told him, I'm not that cool. You know, no problem. I will definitely do that.
[33:56 - 34:05] Well, ever since then, people have been harassing me, calling me a pedophile, attacking me over this, attacking me over that.
[34:06 - 34:30] But then a couple of months ago, when I thought things couldn't get worse, they actually did. I had come across a video that somebody had made of me called I'm a hot dog, where somebody superimposed my face onto a hot dog and did this funny little skit that me, my family, my friends all got a kick out of. It was very fun.
[34:33 - 34:47] Well, little did I know that that video was made by somebody that wanted to see me crumble and fall and fail. And basically, any negative word that you could think about, he was trying to do.
[34:50 - 35:05] Well, this guy goes by the name of William Glory Hole. This man, since that day, he had caught wind of the whole stuff with massive reports.
[35:05 - 35:17] He has cost me, my biological father, his job to where my biological father had to get a new job somewhere else.
[35:19 - 35:40] During that time period, I was actually working with my good friend Enoch as a sound designer or more or less known as an audio engineer for his small time independent gaming company.
[35:41 - 35:58] I had done everything from the menu music for the game that we were working on at the time, I had made a majority of the mini boss fights, the boss fights, the soundscapes, all that stuff is what I was doing.
[35:59 - 36:03] And I was making about 150 a day doing that.
[36:03 - 36:15] Because I was the one that was in charge of like, you know, like I said, the menu music, the sounds, you know, throughout the game and all kinds of stuff.
[36:15 - 36:23] And I was doing fairly well. I was helping out around the house. I was helping to pay rent and bills and stuff.
[36:24 - 36:34] And a majority of that not only was going towards bills to help my family, but it was also going towards me wanting to gear up my music career again.
[36:34 - 36:48] I was saving up to invest in some studio gear, such as the gear I have now, like a DJ deck, a beat pad, earlier drum pad and a mini keyboard.
[36:51 - 36:56] Well, William Gloria had gotten me fired from that job.
[36:56 - 37:03] The last time I worked there was back in August of last year.
[37:03 - 37:18] And then no sooner than I lose my job with my good friend Enoch and his friendship,
[37:19 - 37:23] I had actually lost my best friend of 10 years.
[37:23 - 37:31] Mr. Sean Sands, who many of you may remember, I used to hang out with all the time.
[37:31 - 37:40] I was the one that did a lot of the flyers and the thumbnails for his show that he had on Facebook called The Sean Show.
[37:40 - 37:47] Like all the things that he had done on there, I was responsible for those back in the day.
[37:48 - 37:56] I was the one that went out of my way, edited the images, sent them to him and stuff like that, so that was my doing on that one.
[37:56 - 38:00] I lost his friendship.
[38:00 - 38:13] And now he is currently trying to buy out our landlady's home, which we're saying right now, just to throw me out.
[38:16 - 38:20] This is the kind of stuff that these people do.
[38:20 - 38:29] And it's honestly sickening.
[38:32 - 38:43] And to the parents that do allow your kids to do this, I am going to say this bluntly, and I'm not going to be nice about it.
[38:43 - 38:47] I'm going to be blunt and honest with you.
[38:48 - 39:02] Maybe if you would teach your fucking kids some fucking respect, and to not do shit like this, like what happened to me.
[39:02 - 39:15] You know, if you teach them to not fucking troll, and maybe if you would actually grow a fucking spine, and actually whip your kids' asses when they do something stupid,
[39:16 - 39:26] maybe the kids that do have this shit wouldn't be doing the fucking shit that they do, like what William Gloryhole has done to me and my family.
[39:26 - 39:39] Like what these teenage trolls try to do, acting like they're so badass, when really they're not.
[39:44 - 39:52] And let me tell you, because of these people, I have been basically banned from getting a job here in Akron.
[39:52 - 40:08] Because so many people have spread so much word, because of the pedophile shit when I'm not one clearly, that it is literally impossible for me to get a job here.
[40:09 - 40:23] Every time I try to make a living off of my music, and I get it off the ground, or I open up a merchandise shop with my own work, these trolls come in and shut it down.
[40:23 - 40:28] For no reason at all except to laugh at me.
[40:29 - 40:37] And this kind of shit that's happening to me is the very same reality that a lot of people on social media face.
[40:37 - 40:50] And the authorities don't do anything about it except sit around, thinking that the internet doesn't affect real lives, but it actually does.
[40:54 - 41:00] The internet can affect your real life, and I feel like this is something that needs to change.
[41:00 - 41:10] So to all the authorities that think that social media does not affect your real life, trust me, it does.
[41:12 - 41:23] You're talking to so many that's went through it very much first hand. And believe me when I say getting off the internet does not work.
[41:23 - 41:31] Shining down your computer and staying off the internet does not fucking work. I have tried.
[41:31 - 41:40] Because you know what these people do when they can't get to you on social media? They'll find out your address.
[41:41 - 41:44] And they will harass you that way.
[41:44 - 41:50] Just as they did me.
[41:50 - 42:00] Staying off the internet does not work.
[42:00 - 42:04] It really and truly does not work.
[42:04 - 42:08] Just a few days ago,
[42:09 - 42:12] right before Christmas,
[42:12 - 42:21] I had gotten sent by a troll,
[42:21 - 42:27] a dead baby pig, still inside the fetal sac.
[42:27 - 42:32] Still warm to the touch.
[42:33 - 42:53] And in another incident, I had gotten sent a thing of rope and then was basically told to kill myself and hang myself.
[42:56 - 43:06] So for all you authorities out there, all you authority figures out there that say, oh social media, you need to get off the social media.
[43:06 - 43:14] If you want to go to get off the internet, getting off the internet does not work. That does not solve the problem.
[43:18 - 43:27] Because just very recently, I found out that William Gloryholme, the one who had been harassing me,
[43:27 - 43:38] had actually pushed several other people several months prior to actually killing themselves.
[43:40 - 43:51] Between three and five people are now dead, laying in the ground because of suicide, because of what this William Gloryhole did.
[43:51 - 43:58] So social media does have a very real effect on the real world.
[44:04 - 44:18] So trust me when I say staying out the internet does not fucking work. What does work is you guys, the FBI, the police,
[44:18 - 44:33] you guys getting off your fucking asses and actually taking what's going on on social media more serious and actually attempting to do something about it.
[44:34 - 44:42] Because you know what happened to me every time I go to the authorities, oh, take it up with the FBI office.
[44:42 - 44:58] Okay, I call the FBI office 30 different times I was told to leave a report, we'll do something about it. Leave a report, we'll do something about it.
[44:59 - 45:03] No the fuck you won't.
[45:03 - 45:18] I have left 30 plus different reports to the local Akron FBI office.
[45:20 - 45:30] I have even reached out to the suicide hotline to get help from an outside source, thinking that they might be able to help me.
[45:30 - 45:40] Because at one time because of William Gloryhole and Masshole reports, I had actually attempted to end my own life on their live streams.
[45:40 - 45:48] Thankfully my friends and my family were there to save my life and keep me from doing it and going through with it.
[45:49 - 45:53] My friends and family that were there, thank you for stopping me.
[45:53 - 45:59] Like I very much am grateful to you guys for that.
[46:12 - 46:22] But my question to you authority figures that are supposed to serve and protect, I have one simple question for you.
[46:22 - 46:31] How many people have to die before you finally get the fucking hint and actually do something?
[46:39 - 46:47] Like when are you going to stop sitting around thinking that social media and the internet doesn't affect the real world when it does?
[47:03 - 47:13] I mean you officers think that, oh it's the internet, you know, it doesn't affect the real world.
[47:13 - 47:18] It's just the internet, it doesn't affect anything, yeah it does.
[47:18 - 47:25] Or I always get, oh you're a public figure, you don't really have that many rights to privacy.
[47:25 - 47:32] Yes I may be a public figure, that may be true, because of all the shit I've gone through over the years.
[47:32 - 47:35] Yes I may be a public figure, that may be true.
[47:35 - 47:40] But I am still very much entitled to my goddamn privacy.
[47:40 - 47:51] Just because I do fucking music and artwork and I'm trying to rebuild my music brand back up to where it was so I could start making money again.
[47:52 - 48:03] Just because I'm a public figure does not mean that I am not allowed to have my privacy, because I am allowed to have my privacy.
[48:15 - 48:36] My question to you guys is this, when are you going to stop looking at people like me that are being attacked and actually start digging into the actual fucking story and take a good long hard look at motherfuckers like William Gloryhole, Masshole Reports, Music Biz Marty.
[48:36 - 48:44] People like that that actually push people to suicide and actually intend to do harm.
[48:45 - 48:52] And actually harass people so bad that it stretches beyond social media.
[48:52 - 48:59] Like when are you guys going to start taking cases like this more serious?
[49:02 - 49:21] Because you know what one of the number, in case some of you police officers or for those of you that have family that are police officers, in case you haven't fucking noticed, the number one cause of suicide in teens and young adults, guess what it all stems from?
[49:22 - 49:31] Bullying. And guess where a lot of that bullying comes from nowadays? Social media.
[49:31 - 49:43] Why do you think the band Five Finger Death Punch made a music video about it?
[49:44 - 50:09] Look up the music video by Five Finger Death Punch for the song called Coming Down. That video touches very very much on social media and how all of that shit, all of that bullying on the internet and at school leads to people ending their lives every fucking day.
[50:12 - 50:17] Every day one in three teens takes their lives because of being bullied on the internet.
[50:21 - 50:42] But my question to you is this. How many people have to take their own lives before you fucking step in and you actually start doing something about the shit that's going on and instead of just blowing and all thinking that it's the internet, when are you actually going to fucking sit down and take it more seriously?
[50:42 - 51:11] Because not that long ago, about a month and a half ago, I had actually had a fan that I did not know watched a lot of my motivational videos.
[51:11 - 51:23] I watched my videos and listened to my music. I did not know that I had a fan that actually ended their life due to suicide. And it was due to bullying.
[51:27 - 51:42] And that hurt because I've been in that position. It affected me on a very personal level because I've been in that position.
[51:45 - 51:57] And I reached out to the kids family and told them, "Look, if you guys need anything, hit me up and let me know. I'll do whatever I can to help you guys."
[51:57 - 52:14] Because I know that your child was a fan of my work and really enjoyed being in chat, hanging out and stuff and having a good time. Was always very positive, was always laughing and having a good time.
[52:14 - 52:20] So anything you guys need, you let me know and I'll do whatever I can to help you guys.
[52:25 - 52:41] So believe me when I say social media does affect real life more than people want to think. You're talking to somebody that actually has been victimized by people on the internet.
[52:42 - 52:57] To where I've been afraid to go outside because I've had three, count three different murder attempts or more commonly known as assassination attempts on my life.
[52:57 - 53:08] Three different assassination attempts on my life. All of them thankfully were failed attempts.
[53:11 - 53:21] Because of this shit that went on, I can no longer go outside and go down to the lake like I used to do and get photos and hang out like that.
[53:21 - 53:29] The most I can do is go over to my friend's house and come home and that's it.
[53:31 - 53:43] Every time I leave the house now instead of not having protection, I have to carry a fucking knife on me at all times now. I have to carry some sort of weapon on me at all times now.
[53:48 - 54:01] I'm always having to look over my shoulder. Every car passing by I'm having to, you know, look at out of fear that it can be somebody trying to take my life.
[54:01 - 54:14] Like I am no longer allowed to go down to the lake and do photography like I used to do.
[54:16 - 54:22] I have had to put off so much of my life because of these people.
[54:22 - 54:28] My last music album that I released was back in 2018.
[54:28 - 54:39] And I have not released an album since then. I'm just now being able to do that again.
[54:40 - 54:59] But as somebody that is a former victim of the troll community, I am urging everyone out there to share this video around everywhere.
[55:00 - 55:11] Tell my story. Make it known what's going on. Share it in groups. Share it with your friends, your mom, your daddy, your aunt, your uncle.
[55:11 - 55:28] Share it to everyone that you can. Let my story be an example of what really can go on on social media and how it can ruin someone's life because my life almost got ruined.
[55:28 - 55:45] Like I am no longer able to get a normal job around here in Akron because the people that harassed me made it to where no one here wants to hire me.
[55:46 - 56:07] No one here in Akron wants to hire me, leaving me having to do what I do best with my music and my artwork and my gaming photography, my in-game 3D car photography.
[56:07 - 56:13] That's all I got going for me right now. That's all I got left.
[56:13 - 56:33] But these people are so evil. Some of these people like William Gloryhole are so evil and will stoop to no lengths to ruin someone's life.
[56:38 - 56:43] And trust me when I say this, he almost ruined my life.
[56:43 - 56:54] He almost took everything that I hold dear away from me.
[56:54 - 57:23] So trust me when I say this, social media can indeed impact and affect you.
[57:23 - 57:26] And affect your real day-to-day life.
[57:34 - 57:51] But he wanted who's ultimately to blame for this shit? I'll tell you who. You lazy ass fucking parents that want to let technology babysit your kids.
[57:52 - 58:18] You have a kid and say that you want one and then you turn around and let stuff like video games, the computer, social media, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, you let all these things babysit your kid when you yourself should be parenting your kid, not social media.
[58:19 - 58:25] Social media or electronics cannot take the place of being a fucking parent.
[58:25 - 58:31] If you're gonna be a parent, be a fucking parent. Alright.
[58:31 - 58:44] If you see your kid doing something fucked up, it's called discipline. Learn it. Use it when you need to.
[58:45 - 59:02] 'Cause let me tell you, when I was a kid, if I did half this shit, if I did even half the shit these kids do nowadays, I probably wouldn't be here right now 'cause my ass would be six feet under.
[59:03 - 59:14] If I did half the shit that these people do nowadays, as a kid, my mom and dad would have had my fucking ass.
[59:15 - 59:33] My ass would have been feet red. Not because of them abusing me 'cause spanking, I'm sorry, but if you ask me, spanking your kid and disciplining your kid is not abuse.
[59:33 - 59:41] If your kid does something wrong, whoop their ass. It's called discipline, not abuse.
[59:41 - 59:54] (Silence)
[59:54 - 60:00] 'Cause let me tell you, when I was a kid, if I did something wrong, I got my ass whooped.
[60:00 - 60:08] I either got the paddle, the belt, or my dad's hand.
[60:09 - 60:33] I know y'all that are old enough to be my age, I know y'all remember that shit. Y'all did something bad, you either got the small wooden paddle, or you got the spoon, you got the switch, you got the leather belt, you got your mommy and your daddy's hand, like y'all that are my children, y'all know that shit.
[60:34 - 60:40] (Silence)
[60:41 - 61:05] Now, maybe if you fucking parents would stop being lazy fucks, and actually a parent your kid, maybe there would be less of this shit going on.
[61:10 - 61:21] And to the authorities, maybe if you lazy fucking assholes would get off your fucking asses, and actually fucking do something.
[61:26 - 61:40] Instead of just saying "make a report", do you know how many lives you could be saving? Do you have any idea how many lives you could be fucking saving in the long run?
[61:40 - 61:46] How many people will be saved from suicide as a result?
[61:46 - 61:53] (Silence)
[61:54 - 61:59] Now, I'm not just talking about the Akron Authority, I'm talking about the entire US.
[61:59 - 62:17] Get your fucking shit together. Stop treating social media as if it's nothing, as if it doesn't affect the real world, because as a survivor of suicide from being cyber-bullied,
[62:18 - 62:27] and as somebody that has dealt with the dark side and the horrors of social media, trust me when I say this, it does affect your real life.
[62:27 - 62:34] And turning off the computer and getting off the internet does not work. That does not work.
[62:35 - 62:48] Because they will follow you off of social media into your real life. Trust me, I've gone through that shit, and I still to this day go through that shit.
[62:48 - 62:59] I've had my number change two different times, and I'm going to have to get changed another time because of these assholes.
[63:00 - 63:09] So trust me when I say walking away from social media, walking away from it, and turning it off does not work.
[63:09 - 63:18] The only thing that will work is when they push to the lengths that these people do, when they go from being a troll to breaking the law.
[63:18 - 63:26] You know what you do about those people breaking the law? It's called doing your job, putting them in jail.
[63:27 - 63:35] These people are breaking the law and getting away with it because you dumb fuck authority figures don't want to do shit about it.
[63:35 - 63:43] You'd rather sit there and watch somebody die before you fucking do something.
[63:43 - 63:52] And I'm speaking on those, I'm speaking on behalf of those whose lives have been lost due to this shit.
[63:55 - 64:03] I think I speak for all of them and people like me when I say enough is enough. We've had enough of the fucking bullshit.
[64:03 - 64:11] It's time y'all got your fucking thumbs out of your goddamn asses and started fucking doing something.
[64:14 - 64:26] 'Cause I'm tired of watching good people die because of your guys' failure to actually step in and say, "Hey, this person's doing something wrong. This person needs to be taken care of."
[64:26 - 64:42] I'm tired of seeing good people's lives get ruined because of your failure to fucking do something about it.
[64:43 - 64:46] To actually stop it and put an end to it.
[64:46 - 64:51] But instead, you just let it continue.
[64:51 - 64:58] Acting like it doesn't even matter, like it's not a big deal. Well, I'm sorry to burst your fucking bubble here.
[64:58 - 65:04] Suicide is on the rise because of that shit.
[65:04 - 65:12] Suicide is on the fucking rise because of bullies on social media.
[65:13 - 65:26] It just doesn't affect people on social media. It affects their real lives, the real world.
[65:26 - 65:32] So wake the fuck up and actually do something about it.
[65:37 - 65:42] Stop taking this shit so goddamn lightly.
[65:42 - 65:54] 'Cause this shit is not something to be taken lightly.
[65:55 - 66:09] People have unfortunately lost their lives due to bullying on social media, and it needs to stop. The trolling needs to become a law. The trolling needs to be against the law.
[66:16 - 66:30] You guys need to get cyber police, cyber communications people, stuff that deal with social media. Get people in there to fucking do something.
[66:30 - 66:40] Stop sitting there saying, "Oh, we don't have the resources." Yes, the fuck you do. And if you don't, ask around.
[66:41 - 66:45] Start one. You guys got money?
[66:45 - 66:57] Like seriously, fund a fucking cyber crimes unit.
[67:02 - 67:13] Stop sitting there saying, "Oh, we don't have the money." Bull fucking shit you don't. You do have the money. Put it to fucking use and actually fucking help people.
[67:16 - 67:35] 'Cause like I said, how many people have to lose their lives before you fucking police and you authority figures, you know, how many people have to lose their lives before you finally fucking step up and do something?
[67:38 - 67:45] Stop them before it happens. Not after.
[67:45 - 68:05] If someone reports to you that they're being harassed or they're being attacked to the lengths that I've been attacked, don't sit there and tell them, "Oh, go to the FBI." No. You get ahold of the FBI. Help these people.
[68:06 - 68:10] Put a stop to it, man.
[68:10 - 68:19] Enough people have lost their lives already because of this shit. No one needs to lose their lives anymore.
[68:21 - 68:40] It breaks my heart seeing, you know, parents that lose sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, brothers, sisters, cousins. It breaks my heart seeing families lose people like that due to suicide that stem from social media.
[68:40 - 68:48] That shit breaks my fucking heart. No parent should have to bury their fucking child.
[68:48 - 68:59] But yet, a lot of the times they have to. Because of your failure to do something.
[69:14 - 69:24] And so, next time all this shit goes on, I want you to remember these words.
[69:24 - 69:30] Save someone's life before someone takes their life.
[69:30 - 69:40] Help them to beat death before death claims them.
[69:43 - 69:48] Help these people before suicide takes them from this world.
[69:48 - 69:59] Put a stop to trolling on social media.
[69:59 - 70:11] And if you guys do want to support this and stopping this, I want you guys to put "when you share this" because I do want you all to share this around everywhere.
[70:12 - 70:16] I want you guys to put on the tags.
[70:16 - 70:24] #StopTrolling #NoMoreBullying
[70:24 - 70:29] #ChangeForTheFuture

[71:25 - 71:35] Let's make 2022 the year that this kind of shit that goes on on social media is not okay.
[71:35 - 71:39] Let's bring those victims' stories to light.
[71:39 - 71:45] Let's not let someone else take their own life before they do it.
[71:45 - 71:54] Let's prevent people from taking their own lives due to this shit.
[71:54 - 72:01] Let's be that change that we're always talking about.
[72:04 - 72:14] So again, if you did like this, please smash that like button, leave a comment, share this around with everybody that you can on your friend's list.
[72:14 - 72:23] And let's make this video go viral and show people what's truly going on and try to put a stop to it.
[72:23 - 72:30] Because enough lives have already been lost.
[72:30 - 72:35] We don't need to lose anymore.
[72:35 - 72:40] We need to save lives, not take lives away.
[72:40 - 72:48] So again, please share this around with everybody that you know.
[72:48 - 72:52] Let's spread the word, let's get word out.
[72:52 - 72:59] And let's be that change that we want.
[72:59 - 73:07] Peace.
