Either they feel nothing because... internet, or... i think that's it. It's still scary to see how many fucking idiots and gullible people are on the internet.
Glad you were able to prove that prick was lying man :) Amazing how fast the internet will grab their pitchforks when a RUclipsrs blood is in the water :(
+Mono Parallax No way! That's impossible! People are better than that! *Goes on Wikipedia* Oh. *Goes on "conspiracy theorist" RUclips channel* OHHHH *Goes on a "news" site* OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i saw this on reddit and told myself, "ohnickle would never do this sense he has publicly made videos calling others out about this so ill wait for tomorrows video he will make about this situation" Bam! heres the video! love you man, reals supporters of you would never doubt you
Reddit is a hive mind of the lowest common denominator. This is shocking? r/ow is even lower than the normal sub...easily on par with the likes or r/gaming, etc.
Alolan_BDCrobat If you wanna see true stupidity, go to a Digital Homicide game Steam Forum or Tumblr. It'll make you wonder what the hell is wrong with people these days.
1. The guy who did this, has way too much time on his hands and is a right knob 'ed. 2. The people who jumped on the bandwagon and sent you abuse, without looking into the situation are right knob 'eds. 3. The thing that gets me the most is that you do these competitions to help your supporters, and it's a lovely thing to do and then one guy comes along and messes with it and people don't remember you for being a nice guy, but see the negative instead! 4. Don't let the negatives get you down, keep being awesome and thanks for everything (and thanks to get guys who helped out).
Don't let this discourage you. People get red hot over fake news like this, don't take it personally. Your channel is great and I know that you do the right things and would never do something like this. Keep up the great work and content.
Alolan_BDCrobat Who the hell knows. He may go "off the grid" and become a controversial figure in the OW or YT community. As much as I like Ohnickel, I am not gonna say he cannot be a total dick in the future.
Oddball Admittedly, I enjoy watching these "exposed" videos with actual grounded evidence because it can stir a nice little debate...or a shitty flame war.
there are quite a lot of people out there who wish for fighting and greed, OhNickel is not one these kind of people. They he is quite the amazing guy. OhNickel there is no question that he would never do anything as heinous as cheat some one out of a giveaway. Its bad enough the there are guys that go and try to exploit channels, and through them down. But why would you make their own support groups (subs?) turn against them. OhNickel is going to need our support, emotional, please lets go to him and leave a kind comment on his page. something to put a smile on his face. also if you dont agree with me thats fine to each their own.
It's actually disappointing that so many of your "fans" was quick to bash you and firmly believe the other guy, than to wait for you to say something. Some people need to ask themselves this "When shit hits the fan are you still a fan?"
If you're talking about the comments about this video, then on Reddit they're pretty damn civilized. If you're talking about the direct threats, then yeah, your right. BTW, heres the comments on this video on the Overwatch subreddit. www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/69u07s/the_overwatch_reddit_scandal/
Not necessarily true. People are predispositioned to lack trust on people; those of us that would wait for the facts are a rare breed. (Seriously, look at almost all political scenarios around the world for a quick and easy stab at it; it's just the way humanity is conditioned)
Zach Spike Look, I get your sentiment but you arent really saying anything. You use the no true scotsman fallacy to support a sentiment of superiority.
You start to ask less questions once you saw almost this exact story twice. There was some tech company that also did that and according to the comments it's not uncommon for big giveaway.
"By his silence, he is guilty." God damn idiots. Yup, everyone in the whole world is on the same time schedule as YOU! Btw, found out about this situation from a TotalBiscuit tweet, so just know he's amplifying the signal for ya!
yeah i agree like there are thousands of perfectly reasonable things he could be doing other than looking at twitter or reddit, even if it wasn't like 3am for him. People gotta live their lives too they can't just stare at social media all day.
Yeah you'd think they'd at least give him a day or two before absolutely flipping their shit. But then again a surprisingly large amount of people don't understand how time zones work.
This is what I don't like about Reddit. Almost everyone jumps into conclusions when the whole story sounded like BS from the start. They didn't even give Nickel a chance to explain instead they started hating on him. People need to check facts before they witch hunt.
Remember when Reddit found the "boston bomber" that turned out to be some random dude? As a person who uses Reddit a lot, it's full of insanely dumb people.
The amount of jelly people that just waited for this, so they can say you are the worst person and spam "unsubed, he is evil" and upvote so the post got 20k upvotes in such a short time.
I've honestly never seen your channel before, I only learned about this incident from "The Know" and I just want to say I'm sorry you had to deal with this. It just blows my mind how fast people took what this guy said as fact, despite not having evidence himself and the other guy that actually won the prize posted about it on Twitter, disproving this whole thing. Like they didn't think for even a second, that MAYBE that post wasn't real or was a misunderstanding. It's scary how people react to stuff like this.
People's lives are so sad if this is how they seek something by fucking over other people. Just watching the social blades live subscriber count only to see tonnes of people crawling back.
Link Mc Saucypants 'quality content?'Dis ain't no quality content ITS PHENOMENALLY OUTSTANDING CONTENT!! P.S I give ohnickel a gold star for his content ;)
They obviously have never gotten as far as learning about "information evaluation" in school, which I learned about in 5th grade... So basically.. braindead
That my friend is a thing in facebook, people see some false shit, they share it so more people see it and actually believe it without checking how true it is and then the OP gets shit ton of money from that
I never said it didn't happen elsewhere. However it does happen to be, what I believe, a root cause of the current political discontent in the US at this time.
LoL that one comment saying: "I just disliked all of your videos" XD at first, dislikes don't mean shit and second, someone's has a lot of time on their hands.
I'm a bit disappointed I believed this. I didn't spam him with hate or even think "oh wow what a terrible person" but I do admit that I had thought "oh man he could potentially be in some trouble" which means that I bought into it a little bit. I think the reason myself and so many other people fell for this is because we didn't feel like it was that important. We just kind of assumed nobody would make this up so didn't bother double checking and didn't care so we went on with our day. However for those who sent hate not only do I hope you see this video and feel stupid, but also I ask of you why you would take time out of your day to not only put someone down and send hate but also not even make sure it was true?
Josh Kennedy since time im memorial, most humans always fall for lies like this because some sick, twisted individuals knows how to weaponize people by brainwashing them. Even good hearted people are gullible enough to give away money to these imposters without even knowing in the name of sympathy....Humans can be so evil sometimes just for $100 But I'm glad that Oh Nickle added countermeasures to the giveaway rules so this wouldn't fall for such incidents.
It happens to the best of us. Best thing we can do is be more critical of something like this in the future, and be open to change minds once presented with complete and accurate info. I, too, have been bamboozled, and I don't like it.
I really want the Overwatch mods perma ban this guy from the subreddit if they haven't done it already since not only is he impersonating a Reddit user that won the giveaway but also purposely tired to make ohnickel have a bad name in the community and potentially harm his career on RUclips.
'Member when "taking things with a grain of salt" meant being skeptical of nonsense like this instead of being full of salt and ready to fly off the handle at the drop of a hat.
I wish tribalism wasn't so prevalent in this day and age. Not saying that people should get together to point out injustice that no one is acknowledging (heck, if we didn't do that, then we wouldn't have found out about DaddyOFive and their horrible pranks towards Cody), but we shouldn't pull the trigger so early when there's no evidence to support that injustice was done. Also, can we please stop invoking Sturgeon's Law, please? I know Reddit has a load of shitty subreddits, but it's wrong to assume everyone on there is an idiot or an asshole.
ohnickel you should ask the winners in the future to let you take a screenshot of the email conversation and post it on Twitter or something( just trying to help, keep the good work up )
There are bots you know, and just people who woke up and asked why this is in their recommended when they're watching something else. A measly few dislikes arent deadly.
Good lord. This is a beautiful example of why it's important to get all sides of a story before picking a side. Honestly, it's insane how quick people can just instantly turn on someone who's content they enjoyed just because some guy on the internet said they should.
First the guy that steals your videos and now this. I feel really sorry for what you are going through, Nick. Stay strong, I'm always going to be a supporter :)
The people who jumped to the conclusion of calling my boi Ohpenny are just the people who aren't true Ohpenny fans. Lets just say, there would need to be way more than 13 tapes... Bad joke sorry...
So this the the new generation of children. They wish for people to die, get cancer, lose their family etc. Makes me wonder how they even actually start having a life at all with that kind of brain, and to think some child did this to get Karma and gold? How fucking sad.
people like this exist every generation. you just gotta live, educate others, ignore if they dont want to learn and move on. kind of similar like what commander said two comments above me, but still. just let it be.
I fucking knew it. I made a post yesterday on how the other winner of the same giveaway DID recieve his prize and even confirmed it, which raised my suspicions. I should've researched the real Vitalechz and find his twitter to bank on that sweet karma.
Classic reddit witch hunt, always jumping on the innocent person because some guy made a thread. I've seen this happen to one PoE youtuber and that guy also was innocent. Also got tons of hate because some guy accused him of stealing items and scamming people and the reddit community swallowed it like the gullible kids they are. Only to have someone to hate on without even checking if he actually deserves it.
Ohnickel you've got all my support Don't let stupid people on internet stop you from being such a nice youtuber, I see any news in overwatch this is the first channel I check and your personality is very good,Keep up the good work:D
HA! You think you can ruin my boy Nickel completely? Well you were wrong. Nickel is a truthful guy and I trust him when he says this is fake. He would never screw anyone over.
Just look at this situation as a minor setback for a major comeback. Don't let this change who you are. I'm sure us "Golden Age" subs will do whatever must be done to prove you innocence. We Love You ohnickel.
It's weird how easy the internet, goes so easily, into mob mentality behind people whom seems legit, without doing basic research such as checking yeh persons twitter to see if it's posted anything
AyeiTzAJ nope, i upvoted, becouse i thought that it might be true and i wanted ohnickel to take a statement, which he did, so it's all fine - at least for me - it is sad that so many people take it so fucking serious, though.
Joush Because those accounts can be used for advertising or agenda pushing. A high karma account has more exposure and less likely to be suspected as a shill account.
I just subscribed and all I can say is, what the hell is wrong with people... also, hope your channel grows with loyal subs rather than those who instantly accuse you of something you didn't even know about yet...
Mau Ordoñez reddit is filled with friendless emotional reactive people. the entirety of Reddit is based of emotions and 22 genders. Reddit is filled with retards. tons and tons of full blown retards. liberal voters who react.
Don't censor the names of peoples who failed to do any research and just spew slander and death threats at a moments notice. Everyone should be accountable not just youtubers. We need to start putting these things and the people who perpetuate them on full fucking blast. This culture of whining and victim praising is getting repulsive.
I agree, but if he did show their names, then people could interpret that as an act of hazing, putting those people on the spotlight to get hounded by fans. and in turn that still wouldn't make Ohnickel look good. so for his sake, best that he didn't.
Never watched your content, probably won't watch much in the future (prefer to play OW then watch content on it). That being said after hearing everything that happened even though I've had zero involvement with any thing that's happened here, I want to apologize to you for just how fucking stupid people can be. I mean the guy doing this is clearly at fault (And I would consider doing anything in your power to pursue legal action against the individual for not only identity theft but defamation of character as well as harassment not for your self gain but to remove one disgusting creature from society) but the real thing I want to apologize for is the community who is incredibly at fault. Thousands of god damn idiots threatening not only your livelihood but your life with no clue what they're talking about over a stupid contest with no proof of anything. I'm not disgusted in just a single person, I'm disgusted with the community as a whole and I wish you an easier time in the future.
whoa, reddit is blocked in my country and im too lazy to find a way to unblock it for myself (dont got anytime and isnt my priority) so there's no way ive ever heard of this. this is really baffling. i never expected people to immediately jump into conclusion so fast.
Hey man, I know this might not mean much at all, but if it helps - Any publicity is good publicity. I know you have unfortunately lost thousands of subs and have gotten significant hatred and negativity, but hopefully this also will bring new exposure to your channel. Exposure showing how you are a good guy and true to your word. This is the first that I've heard of you, and because of this you gained a new sub, and hopefully thousands and thousands more to come.
Dude... this why we don't got to reddit anymore (nothing against those mods, they did a good job in controlling the situation), but seriously. Its a damn cesspool of utter trash and garbage.
I can't believe someone would do something like this to you. You're such a cool guy and a great RUclipsr. Even if I had the Reddit post before this video I wouldn't have believed it.
Oh nickel your videos are amazing keep up the good work. Something like that occurring to you means that your channel is starting to take off really high and people are just trying to pull you down. Don't stop the awesome vids and keep up the good work

ohnickel Np man
ohnickel
It was kinda obvious, though I feel bad for the people who thought this was true.
I love how chill you always are dude
ohnickel I think you can miss 50 bucks man...
I wonder what all those people sending insults think now.
Boomer Schloss Yeah. They must feel terrible.
Boomer Schloss Hmnm not sure, hope you're not one of them, please don't call back telling me that you didn't believe It, cause I don't trust anyone
Nah I wasn't, I was asleep too.
They probably didn't even watch this video...
Either they feel nothing because... internet, or... i think that's it.
It's still scary to see how many fucking idiots and gullible people are on the internet.
Glad you were able to prove that prick was lying man :) Amazing how fast the internet will grab their pitchforks when a RUclipsrs blood is in the water :(
Yeah for real, and thanks man!
Mooseli watches ohnickel? noice

VaatiVidya Reddit? Nah that's just the Internet Vaati. Hahahahaha.
(Love your vids, keep up the lore diving)
VAAAABIII!
That's why I left reddit after I had an account for like a month; the community is just so cancerous and gullible
VaatiVidya Can you tell us the lore behind that?
PAPA!! Love me~!
Everyone's giving you flak, and you basically backhanded them and told them to sit down.

Just go on the internet,

thanks so much man
I was about to make the exact same comment, but I checked the comments first and upvoted this instead.
anytime my friend!
you are very well spoken, and I'm impressed on how you handled the situation
Liam Lefort same lil
Totally agree. What a legend :D
Kobie how about you stop hateing
ShadowBlade agreed, but why don't you just learn how to spell
Couldnt have said it better myself.
This is the first time I heard of this.

Reddit is a hive mind of the lowest common denominator. This is shocking? r/ow is even lower than the normal sub...easily on par with the likes or r/gaming, etc.
Pickle Rick well. even if it is rumour i will believe it as truth
sandy river there's your problem, you can easily look like a fool by jumping to conclusions way too early when it turns out to be fake.
It honestly scares me and lessens my faith in humanity
Another example of the internet completely overreacting
ganondorf66 Another example of the community's stupidity
Alolan_BDCrobat
If you wanna see true stupidity, go to a Digital Homicide game Steam Forum or Tumblr. It'll make you wonder what the hell is wrong with people these days.
1. The guy who did this, has way too much time on his hands and is a right knob 'ed.
2. The people who jumped on the bandwagon and sent you abuse, without looking into the situation are right knob 'eds.
3. The thing that gets me the most is that you do these competitions to help your supporters, and it's a lovely thing to do and then one guy comes along and messes with it and people don't remember you for being a nice guy, but see the negative instead!
4. Don't let the negatives get you down, keep being awesome and thanks for everything (and thanks to get guys who helped out).
Alex Parr well, he is getting money out of it
Don't let this discourage you. People get red hot over fake news like this, don't take it personally. Your channel is great and I know that you do the right things and would never do something like this. Keep up the great work and content.
thank you Justin!!
ohnickel hey boy, do you think year of the roostee lootboxes will also come back on the anniversary of overwatch?
Justin Severns what? This isn't fake news. That'd be CNN and other news networks.
The president told me. Therefore it's true.
No problem, hope the rest of your day hasn't been as terrible as the beginning was.
Justin Severns *Alternitive facts
its easy to judge, how many of those people that sent you these awful messages replied with sorry? none i guess
agreed, loads of people are fucking braindead and have never learned about information evaluation/source criticism
Alberts Gudermanis true
I knew the situation was bs from the start, you would never screw anyone over.
thank you man < 3
ohnickel #COOL
This situation was like swatting, but on a lower scale
The aggressor has no reason to, and gains nothing
Sometimes I just don't understand Humans
sorry this happened ohnickel
Hey osiren
Don't believe everything on the Internet, come on guys, thought you guys knew that by now, it's 2017
peter chang 2017 has been weird and crazy. It has gotten worse, Imagine 2018. Next thing you know they believe fricking pictures, *pictures*
Fiona-g 100 forgotten about 2016 already, have we?
Exactly, it's 2017. People are still idiots.
harambe is alive.
irrelevant
Why would someone do this? You're a pretty chill guy...
Chris Farrer Well he's not gonna go Nuts like, I don't know, 75% of all RUclipsrs
Alolan_BDCrobat
Who the hell knows. He may go "off the grid" and become a controversial figure in the OW or YT community. As much as I like Ohnickel, I am not gonna say he cannot be a total dick in the future.
If he's a "controversial" figure it'll be a controversy between people who can think critically and people who can't
Oddball
Admittedly, I enjoy watching these "exposed" videos with actual grounded evidence because it can stir a nice little debate...or a shitty flame war.
there are quite a lot of people out there who wish for fighting and greed, OhNickel is not one these kind of people. They he is quite the amazing guy. OhNickel there is no question that he would never do anything as heinous as cheat some one out of a giveaway. Its bad enough the there are guys that go and try to exploit channels, and through them down. But why would you make their own support groups (subs?) turn against them.

also if you dont agree with me thats fine to each their own.
Insentum i disagree. he doesnt need help because his emotions are so chill. when he was reading those messages , he probably thought"ok ."
ight ^ω^ still with all the hate he's was getting don't ya think it'd be great to get a Lil love.
It's actually disappointing that so many of your "fans" was quick to bash you and firmly believe the other guy, than to wait for you to say something. Some people need to ask themselves this "When shit hits the fan are you still a fan?"
IntrepidTemper have you not seen the internet yet?
Kaboom TheGreat, Yea the internet where everyone is a gullible anonymous moron.
IntrepidTemper Way to still lyrics from Kendrick lamars mortal man 😂
Oh shit, sorry man I feel like an asshole, didn't see the quotation marks 😂 Sorry I just have people who do stuff like that 😂 No hard feelings
Glad not all of us actually believe it .
well, wasn't subbed to anyone who shared overwatch videos but now I am
thanks man
nick kelly hello; whoáèjghytegjt
i wasnt subbd to this guy either, but THIS made me sub, very calm and level headed, need more like him
TFW the RUclips comments are more civilized than Reddit comments
If you're talking about the comments about this video, then on Reddit they're pretty damn civilized. If you're talking about the direct threats, then yeah, your right.
BTW, heres the comments on this video on the Overwatch subreddit.
www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/69u07s/the_overwatch_reddit_scandal/
Ninclemdo nah youtube is better than reddit in term of comment
Reddit is like tumblr, except its male nazis, not feminazis
Ova Loaf and at least on Tumblr you can choose what you want to see, Reddit is shit right from the front page.
Waave you dont know how to use reddit then
guys the background footage is fake. The genji was on the point
*edit THAT'S A LOT OF LIKES
TerraCraft+Legos true
Definitely. That Genji killed a Winston. HOW DOES A GENJI KILL A WINSTON? WITHOUT DRAGONBLADE EVEN?
LMAO!
he also didnt take the big health pack when he was at 80% HP
guess i aint a genji main 8)
Thats reddit for ya.
Serenity17 Oh shit! It's Serenity!
Serenity17 wow! Never though I'd see ya here!
oh my it's serenity
Tfw you're trying to make a good point but everybody just says "hi, I didn't expect you to interact with somebody!"
Omg serenity you like overwatch???
My God , everyone who hated on ohnickel aren't true fans, and they just jumped to a conclusion
Zach Spike when you both a Hamilton and overwatch fan ✊️
Pat Yeah they both really good
Welcome to the internet in 2017, where we need a scandal every week so we can reach our quota of bitching about things and karma whoring.
Not necessarily true. People are predispositioned to lack trust on people; those of us that would wait for the facts are a rare breed. (Seriously, look at almost all political scenarios around the world for a quick and easy stab at it; it's just the way humanity is conditioned)
Zach Spike Look, I get your sentiment but you arent really saying anything. You use the no true scotsman fallacy to support a sentiment of superiority.
People are so weak man, believing this shit so easily.
Makes me sad.
Love you soooo much nickel keep up your awesome work!
You start to ask less questions once you saw almost this exact story twice. There was some tech company that also did that and according to the comments it's not uncommon for big giveaway.
Ditto
Fat Tony doesn't even know you, but I raise a slice of pizza to your cause, along with a sub and a like to this video!
Thanks Fat Tony
They wanted you to die...over $100 card scandal? Some people.
Natasha Jones give me free money scumbag!
I would understand to tell him this if it was an absurd amount of money
TacoPocalypse *50 dollar card not 100
even if u didnt give, ppl telling u to die over 50€ with a 3 second entry is so stupid
50 Euro?
Are you joking?
Buud The Video Maker
You're fucking kidding me right?
Buud The Video Maker yeah they were being pretty petty
Exactly that's why you go to 4+4chan instead
He wants Karma? Well I'll tell ya, karma can be a bitch.
TEST ALLIANCE BEST ALLIANCE
Haha,good one,i'm sure he'll get karma,but not the one he wanted.
Very true.
he got his karma all right, just not the type he wanted LOL
Kiran K as wolf in sheep's clothing once said, karma's gonna come collect her dept
"By his silence, he is guilty." God damn idiots. Yup, everyone in the whole world is on the same time schedule as YOU! Btw, found out about this situation from a TotalBiscuit tweet, so just know he's amplifying the signal for ya!
Morpheous XO same, to be honest i didnt know about the scandal before
yeah i agree like there are thousands of perfectly reasonable things he could be doing other than looking at twitter or reddit, even if it wasn't like 3am for him. People gotta live their lives too they can't just stare at social media all day.
Morpheous XO 😂😂😂😂 by his silencehahhaah
Yeah you'd think they'd at least give him a day or two before absolutely flipping their shit.
But then again a surprisingly large amount of people don't understand how time zones work.
Don't talk to me or my ohnickel ever again.
Hello
Ian Curry Hey
Hi
This is what I don't like about Reddit. Almost everyone jumps into conclusions when the whole story sounded like BS from the start. They didn't even give Nickel a chance to explain instead they started hating on him.
People need to check facts before they witch hunt.
lol it happens alot on reddit, but yea other sites also have a problems with this
This has happen many times on Reddit though. I know this happens in other sites but Reddit is notorious for this shit.
Remember when Reddit found the "boston bomber" that turned out to be some random dude?
As a person who uses Reddit a lot, it's full of insanely dumb people.
Samuel Blenke Yeah it's why I stick to a select few subs. Reddit is so dramatic.
reddit is very inclined to do so though
The amount of jelly people that just waited for this, so they can say you are the worst person and spam "unsubed, he is evil" and upvote so the post got 20k upvotes in such a short time.
moderators are so important, good job for the mods on reddit trying to clear your name of this slander.
I've honestly never seen your channel before, I only learned about this incident from "The Know" and I just want to say I'm sorry you had to deal with this. It just blows my mind how fast people took what this guy said as fact, despite not having evidence himself and the other guy that actually won the prize posted about it on Twitter, disproving this whole thing. Like they didn't think for even a second, that MAYBE that post wasn't real or was a misunderstanding. It's scary how people react to stuff like this.
Not giving gift card = death sentance?????
Age Co. Apparently.. Also, remember these are even *FREE* to enter giveaways
Yep, it's not a gamble, it's generosity.
Age Co. If you hold a giveaway you are by law forced to give the item(s) you are offering
Alright, 2 years of prison for someone who hosts fake giveaways is cool but i mean death is a bit far
Oh im gonna love it when durv gets jailed
Don't worry #NickelTHEBEST
carlos novelo you're pfp makes me want to vomit into my eyes
thank you man!
h
THIS is why RUclipsrs like ohnickel can't make nice things
People abusing it I mean..
You should report him and get him to court. He harmed your image and business in a big way and it would stop people trying to do the same.
the imposter was just trying to be sombra but failed
failed so hard
True XD
joselito dela rosa trying to be spy*

ITS PHENOMENALLY OUTSTANDING CONTENT!!
P.S I give ohnickel a gold star for his content ;)
Sorry this happened dude, love your content, hope things get much better for you, good luck
I would like to point out something briefly. Nickel was able to keep a level head and his temper. I find that impressive.
I also like his thankfulness to reddit and people helping.
Nickel does seem like an awfully stable person.
Southtexascopilot Yeah, Nickel is good at staying chill.
This is like a reflection of the current story of the US political situation. A lot of people will just accept anything they read or watch...
They obviously have never gotten as far as learning about "information evaluation" in school, which I learned about in 5th grade... So basically.. braindead
That my friend is a thing in facebook, people see some false shit, they share it so more people see it and actually believe it without checking how true it is and then the OP gets shit ton of money from that
wow I didn't know how much people are gullible af.
now I'm gonna go hack every TV in the world and say that in 1 year meteorite will hit the earth.
Romdream Not just politics, this occurs everywhere, in all areas of study or thought.
I never said it didn't happen elsewhere. However it does happen to be, what I believe, a root cause of the current political discontent in the US at this time.
It's funny because you actually gained 11 000 subs in the last 2 days xD Keep on making great vids man, Always love watching them.
LoL that one comment saying: "I just disliked all of your videos"
XD at first, dislikes don't mean shit and second, someone's has a lot of time on their hands.
I'm a bit disappointed I believed this. I didn't spam him with hate or even think "oh wow what a terrible person" but I do admit that I had thought "oh man he could potentially be in some trouble" which means that I bought into it a little bit. I think the reason myself and so many other people fell for this is because we didn't feel like it was that important. We just kind of assumed nobody would make this up so didn't bother double checking and didn't care so we went on with our day. However for those who sent hate not only do I hope you see this video and feel stupid, but also I ask of you why you would take time out of your day to not only put someone down and send hate but also not even make sure it was true?
Josh Kennedy since time im memorial, most humans always fall for lies like this because some sick, twisted individuals knows how to weaponize people by brainwashing them. Even good hearted people are gullible enough to give away money to these imposters without even knowing in the name of sympathy....Humans can be so evil sometimes just for $100
But I'm glad that Oh Nickle added countermeasures to the giveaway rules so this wouldn't fall for such incidents.
It happens to the best of us. Best thing we can do is be more critical of something like this in the future, and be open to change minds once presented with complete and accurate info. I, too, have been bamboozled, and I don't like it.
I really want the Overwatch mods perma ban this guy from the subreddit if they haven't done it already since not only is he impersonating a Reddit user that won the giveaway but also purposely tired to make ohnickel have a bad name in the community and potentially harm his career on RUclips.
Magnemite
*Piss*
StickMaster500 you could technically sue for slander, but i hear those cases don't usually get very far and plus ohnickel seems too chill for that
Such a calm and humble man after being framed and told to die by several thousands. You are a god like man. Love you good sir
I mean you kinda have to keep yourself calm in these situations. If you let yourself loose you might worsen your position.
his damage mitigation skills are amazing
I agree with your comment but what the fuck is up with your avatar dude.
Jesus what is that in your profile picture? Mom's spaghetti?
thanks Ry
'Member when "taking things with a grain of salt" meant being skeptical of nonsense like this instead of being full of salt and ready to fly off the handle at the drop of a hat.
ohhh, I 'member! (even just a few years ago everyone was so much nicer on the internet...)
i miss those days
thats ridiculous, people are so dumb sometimes yikes
shrum all of the time*

We all make mistakes, and this is no different. Things happen, and the best we can do is realize our mistake and move on.
+Jaey Lopidas Or people can just stop jumping into conclusions without using death threats...
I wish tribalism wasn't so prevalent in this day and age. Not saying that people should get together to point out injustice that no one is acknowledging (heck, if we didn't do that, then we wouldn't have found out about DaddyOFive and their horrible pranks towards Cody), but we shouldn't pull the trigger so early when there's no evidence to support that injustice was done. Also, can we please stop invoking Sturgeon's Law, please? I know Reddit has a load of shitty subreddits, but it's wrong to assume everyone on there is an idiot or an asshole.
The IQ of the people who thought a youtuber would cheat someone out of a measly 50 bucks is lower than a jamaican limbo champion
people of Reddit have always been gullible and retarded
It has happened before, so there's that
jon261944 lol, get on our level
That just shows the average age of watchers in my opinion. When i was 12-14, 50 bucks was an insane amout of money!...
Actually it has happened before with some decently sized channels
ohnickel you should ask the winners in the future to let you take a screenshot of the email conversation and post it on Twitter or something( just trying to help, keep the good work up )
I hope the haters watch and believe this
imploded BRAINS There are so many dislikes, probably they are just disliking without watching this or they still think this is *FAKE*
There are bots you know, and just people who woke up and asked why this is in their recommended when they're watching something else. A measly few dislikes arent deadly.
well then they're are ignorant and it's their problem to fix their life
Leilawashere don't say people should die
i mean they will, but its not polite to say it
you just need to know one thing: your REAL fans know that you would never do that and would not believe in such things
76 dislikes...
MORRISON, QUIT IT.
Good lord. This is a beautiful example of why it's important to get all sides of a story before picking a side. Honestly, it's insane how quick people can just instantly turn on someone who's content they enjoyed just because some guy on the internet said they should.
First the guy that steals your videos and now this. I feel really sorry for what you are going through, Nick. Stay strong, I'm always going to be a supporter :)
The people who jumped to the conclusion of calling my boi Ohpenny are just the people who aren't true Ohpenny fans.
Lets just say, there would need to be way more than 13 tapes...
Bad joke sorry...
Star52 mhmm. nope. good joke, actually
Star52 AHHHH BEAUTIFUL JOKE😍
lol
damn that got me
hey it's totally me kadbury, I won a 20$ subway gift card from ohquarter and he never gave it to me
TheProudProcrastinator oh no what a monster, quick lets go and share this with hundreds of thousands of people to fuck up his career
"Ohquarter"
TheProudProcrastinator here, have 1000$, if its not enough, have 1000000$
Ohdollar*
Me too, I won a $5 Starbucks gift card from ohdime and never got it.
People love there witch hunts.... The internet is just a new Salem.
Lying for fake internet points? How sad.
So this the the new generation of children.
They wish for people to die, get cancer, lose their family etc.
Makes me wonder how they even actually start having a life at all with that kind of brain, and to think some child did this to get Karma and gold?
How fucking sad.
this is every generation, all humans are terrible. nothing new move along.
Pink Sugar ya
people like this exist every generation. you just gotta live, educate others, ignore if they dont want to learn and move on. kind of similar like what commander said two comments above me, but still. just let it be.
People are just stupid. It's not exclusive to any generation.
everybody did this, all the time. Really, look for examples in history.
Thing is, now, everybody has a chance to speak in social media.
I fucking knew it. I made a post yesterday on how the other winner of the same giveaway DID recieve his prize and even confirmed it, which raised my suspicions. I should've researched the real Vitalechz and find his twitter to bank on that sweet karma.
Classic reddit witch hunt, always jumping on the innocent person because some guy made a thread. I've seen this happen to one PoE youtuber and that guy also was innocent. Also got tons of hate because some guy accused him of stealing items and scamming people and the reddit community swallowed it like the gullible kids they are. Only to have someone to hate on without even checking if he actually deserves it.
Gieron Ssj Glad these don't happen like fucking daily.
Ohnickel you've got all my support
Don't let stupid people on internet stop you from being such a nice youtuber, I see any news in overwatch this is the first channel I check and your personality is very good,Keep up the good work:D
also sent this video to my friends, just in case
The witch hunting that occurs after shit like this is insane. You didn't deserve this, Nick. We love you. ❤️
HA! You think you can ruin my boy Nickel completely? Well you were wrong. Nickel is a truthful guy and I trust him when he says this is fake. He would never screw anyone over.
jared caneal wait do you think he would be lying?
Dude he has proof.
Just look at this situation as a minor setback for a major comeback. Don't let this change who you are. I'm sure us "Golden Age" subs will do whatever must be done to prove you innocence. We Love You ohnickel.
It's weird how easy the internet, goes so easily, into mob mentality behind people whom seems legit, without doing basic research such as checking yeh persons twitter to see if it's posted anything
Reddit, the new wall street journal
Kabir Singh Photography Reddit is great.
Mr Ojo64 Reddit is 4Chan for nerds
Dat name i dont really want to get into this argument, but 4chan is like 50% hentai and other weird fetishes
Dare Bohne I know i'm just trolling
thats not really how reddit works
inspect element? jeez leave sombra out of this...
My name is nickle *oh baby a triple* nickle
Mr.mememaster/ / Making Memes u stole me comment
Larry Lobster what video?
u just need to hear ohnickels voice to know that he's not a bad guy
22k people upvoting are the people that are salty that they didnt win
AyeiTzAJ sad part is its probably true
Or, trying to take a better view of them, they are disgusted and unhappy that he got souch hate
AyeiTzAJ Or you know, people upvoted to make ohnickel aware. And as he said at the start of the video, most of us didn't know he hwas an imposter.
AyeiTzAJ nope, i upvoted, becouse i thought that it might be true and i wanted ohnickel to take a statement, which he did, so it's all fine - at least for me - it is sad that so many people take it so fucking serious, though.
don't play overwatch, don't care that I didn't win :P
People have been known to sell reddit accounts with high amounts of Karma. It makes sense to just want large amounts of karma.
Joush
Why would someone buy accounts with high karma? Sorry, I never really used reddit but it would be nice to know.
Joush Because those accounts can be used for advertising or agenda pushing. A high karma account has more exposure and less likely to be suspected as a shill account.
I am here too, ohnickel. You handled this in a calm and well manner. Amazing! Keep it up! -Dva
nerf them for me dva
ohnickel oh don't worry, I've got a ton of mechs that are ready to self destruct up my sleeve!
Lel
winky face
fake
ironic?
I just subscribed and all I can say is, what the hell is wrong with people... also, hope your channel grows with loyal subs rather than those who instantly accuse you of something you didn't even know about yet...
Shouldn't the title be "The Ohnickel Reddit Scandal"?
KamakuraYasKween I guess that or the gift card scandal
it was on the Overwatch Reddit
ohnickel but its about u boi
so... "The Overwatch Reddit Ohnickel Scandal"?
What about "The nickel Over Reddit watch Scandal, Oh..."?
Rule 2, don't be Reddit
Mau Ordoñez reddit is filled with friendless emotional reactive people. the entirety of Reddit is based of emotions and 22 genders. Reddit is filled with retards. tons and tons of full blown retards. liberal voters who react.
moon2SMAG
Zen So it became Tumblr?
ohnickel is an angel and stuff like this makes me mad. like leave this sweet cinnamon bun alone.
I just saw this, I'm so sorry about this
I love your channel so much, hope you feel better knowing we're here for you
Don't censor the names of peoples who failed to do any research and just spew slander and death threats at a moments notice. Everyone should be accountable not just youtubers. We need to start putting these things and the people who perpetuate them on full fucking blast. This culture of whining and victim praising is getting repulsive.
I agree, but if he did show their names, then people could interpret that as an act of hazing, putting those people on the spotlight to get hounded by fans. and in turn that still wouldn't make Ohnickel look good.
so for his sake, best that he didn't.
Never watched your content, probably won't watch much in the future (prefer to play OW then watch content on it). That being said after hearing everything that happened even though I've had zero involvement with any thing that's happened here, I want to apologize to you for just how fucking stupid people can be.
I mean the guy doing this is clearly at fault (And I would consider doing anything in your power to pursue legal action against the individual for not only identity theft but defamation of character as well as harassment not for your self gain but to remove one disgusting creature from society) but the real thing I want to apologize for is the community who is incredibly at fault. Thousands of god damn idiots threatening not only your livelihood but your life with no clue what they're talking about over a stupid contest with no proof of anything. I'm not disgusted in just a single person, I'm disgusted with the community as a whole and I wish you an easier time in the future.
KingKP96 (claps)
KingKP96
you d real mvp man
For real!
yeah well said!!
Play of the game: KingKP96
Ohnickel is the most chill guy and I like that
whoa, reddit is blocked in my country and im too lazy to find a way to unblock it for myself (dont got anytime and isnt my priority) so there's no way ive ever heard of this. this is really baffling. i never expected people to immediately jump into conclusion so fast.
Hey man, I know this might not mean much at all, but if it helps - Any publicity is good publicity.
I know you have unfortunately lost thousands of subs and have gotten significant hatred and negativity, but hopefully this also will bring new exposure to your channel. Exposure showing how you are a good guy and true to your word.
This is the first that I've heard of you, and because of this you gained a new sub, and hopefully thousands and thousands more to come.
Okay but who tf would target OhNickle, he's like the most chill RUclipsr
Dude... this why we don't got to reddit anymore (nothing against those mods, they did a good job in controlling the situation), but seriously. Its a damn cesspool of utter trash and garbage.
Creds to you for being so calm about this situation! +1 sub, keep up the good work.
I knew it! You can't trust anyone not even OhNipple!
jk
what worries me is some people might upvote this comment because they didn't click "read more"
Jordan Stout I honestly won't be surprised if that happens man.
Yea your probs right lol
Jordan Stout you mean OhPickle?
You mean OhDickle
I can't believe someone would do something like this to you. You're such a cool guy and a great RUclipsr. Even if I had the Reddit post before this video I wouldn't have believed it.
Please read your avi for an answer.
Ohnickle ur a legend
stay strong
Please don't listen to those twitter posts
I would be near tears if this were me in this situation
Ur the best
Oh nickel your videos are amazing keep up the good work. Something like that occurring to you means that your channel is starting to take off really high and people are just trying to pull you down. Don't stop the awesome vids and keep up the good work
Even when ohnickel used to make pokemon/glitches content, he never received so much hatred before.
Hope you're doing good man.
Good job ohnickel keep doing what ur doing soon you'll have millions of subs and a few haters cant compare to the millions of people that support you.
Friggin humans sometimes...
This is now on trending. Wow!
