I like the video, but I'm going to leave some feedback because I've got some mixed feelings. The look and presentation of the video are really cool, but the structure and pacing confused me. The transition between the two disconnected stories was pretty abrupt, and I kept waiting for events to connect back with wannacry, but, well, that didn't happen. I think my main issues are 1) the way the video is structured, and the way the script is written, made me (a new viewer) expect the two stories to be connected. I felt disappointed when the video just stopped without resolving the "connection" I expected. 2) the title and video length made me expect a deep dive into wannacry, but over half the runtime was dedicated to an unrelated story. It's a good story, but it's not the one I thought I was getting. I feel like both of these problems are related to just, like, better communication. Like if the title/thumbnail was something like "a virus led agents down a rabbit hole," "wannacry investigation unearths dark internet secrets," "wannacry was only the tip of the internet crime iceberg," etc., that would totally fix my second issue, because I'd be expecting some wannacry with a deeper focus on other internet crime. And if the transitions were handled a little differently, with just, like, an indication that this isn't a related story, instead of a cold open featuring characters we haven't met yet, I probably wouldn't be writing this comment right now. I'm not looking for a fight, I think this kind of stuff would genuinely improve this video and future videos like it. There's nothing wrong with videos that tell multiple interesting stories with the same theme - I love that kind of content, which is why I do still like this video - but I think this one looks juuuuust enough like a single-story video to confuse people who haven't watched this channel before.
I've just discovered this channel and was waiting for the other story to connect with wannacry. This channel is for sure to good to be free, but I wanted a deep dive into wannacry when I clicked here and genuinely got confused.

Honestly, the title story wasn't as good as the true crime story imo.

my only problem with disrupt, their need for "to be continued" at every story junction does more to hinder than to educate, it breaks the story up and you lose the flow of the previous plot point. the connection was the one dude who worked at that company making encryption software was using their work to build wannacry, he was involved in the whole drug dea conspiracy bullshit. it's like one tiny point that connects both stories and he doesn't highlight it very well. and even then i think im still wrong
yeah i cant deny i found this really hard to follow. i saw how all the drug stuff connected by the end, kinda, although it was tricky. I don't understand how WANNACRY related to any of it though. I did watch the whole thing but I don't think I will again with any more of this channel's videos

Disrupt TV videos are like eating a meal and as soon as you're about to finish it you get knocked out and when you wake up you find a different meal right infront of you expecting it to be part of the previous food you ate just to find out they aren't related at all

Although it takes inference I believe Paul is behind wannacry although the how/why part and some holes left from the lack of how/why are definitely there
They just got an ad with the same aesthetic as their video , it only made sense bc the entire video was unrelated and didn’t make sense. 💀after about 6 mins he started talking about some drug and it never came back
Yeah it came off as just another random tangent into another completely unrelated story just like the rest of his content. The sponsor ad could be for dog food and I would just assume it's another disjointed story. It's stupid.
I had heard rumors about his involvement in the criminal underworld but I never believed that he was involved in those horrific acts until I watched this video. He is a menace and needs to be stopped.
I’ve come from the future, I cannot tell you when, I was sent back before he released a unrivaled power against this world, but you need to stop him before his power becomes too powerful.
@@MrLackinator they're made with Artbreeder using album cover mode, Artbreeder is a neural network for generating images, you can make some fucked up shit with it if you know what values to mess with
want to know what WannaCry is? well probably dont watch this video cause what youll get is about 7 minutes of wanna cry, 21 minutes of an unrelated story, and over editing (honestly with such good quality and abundance of good animations and edits in general youd expect to at least know what youre watching at a given moment). basically click bait
I feel criminal for viewing such incredibly high quality videos, truly, these are insane. Every square inch and millisecond is packed with fascinating editing work. Also, the way you make a continental leap to another topic that seems completely unrelate, then slowly draw the connection and deepen the topic even further is just perfect. You keep us in a constant state of elegant suspense. Top notch, Disrupt. Edit: nvm, I wrote this in the middle of the documentary, it was just sporadic lmao.
I’ll be completely honest here, even though this video is a really well made from an aesthetics/presentation stand point, the pacing and structure is REALLY confusing. I’m trying to read comments to see if I missed anything, I get how the pharmacy company and murders and underground crimes are kinda connected? But they weren’t connected at all to the WANNACRY Virus unless I missed the part where it is. I say this with the hope that in the future your videos can be better explained, because I really like how it looks and I feel it could improve more. I just wished I didn’t feel stupid not understanding the connection and I feel a bit betrayed that the virus wasn’t really the point of the video, which is why I clicked on it. People saying this is clickbait are not entirely wrong.
I get that this particular video is confusing (it’s dense with an absolutely bonkers story that might deserve its own video, plus the title makes it seem like Wannacry is the main story), but these videos, the ones about viruses/cyber-crimes, are all in this format. Two completely/mostly unrelated stories in one episode, split into two parts each, switching between the two. Wannacry and the organized crime empire are NOT related. The video starts with Wannacry part 1, then crime empire part 1, then onto Wannacry part 2, and the rest of the video is crime empire part 2. Again, it is pretty confusing (and comments claiming connection between the two make it way worse), but that’s the format. Perhaps a disclaimer at the start saying “This video is about two separate real life events, here’s the structure of the video” would be helpful.
@@somekindofgnome8477 I know it's common for him to do it but if its a format that confuses multiple people I don't think it's that good of a structure for a video.
Pakito I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the structure. The other videos have the exact same structure, but there’s no confusion about any of them. It’s the title of the video, dating of the stories (these videos are often about events many years apart, except for this one), location of the stories (a mysterious virus and an international crime empire instead of well-defined settings), and lack of a satisfying conclusion to Wannacry that combined for a confusing experience that could’ve been prevented by a clarification at the start. Or maybe Disrupt shouldn’t have paired these two stories together in the first place. They’re both well worth covering in this series IMO, but together might’ve been a problem.
I feel like Disrupt’s first wannacry video (that he had to take down) about Marcus Hutchins brilliantly told two separate stories that ended up coming together perfectly. But these two stories seemed completely disjointed and unrelated. Maybe I missed something?
@@currentlybuyinggme7357 I remember him posting about it. I think it was the transcript he used for the rest of Hutchins' story was almost a direct copy from a website without agreement or credit. Admitting to that fault, he took it down and reworked it into this video. Still interesting, but not as good I feel.
soooooo how does like 80% of this video have to do with the virus at all? Like cool visuals and storytelling, but it just shifts to a completely different story
read some comments, i completely missed the relevance of Paul’s story too. The main story doesn’t so much focus on Wannacry than it focuses on Paul and his Walter White drug business.
You need to stick to just one story throughout a single video, your best uploads are the ones that do this. This back-and-forth format might work for special cases where two stories are very closely related to each other and have a direct effect on how they end, but in regular cases like this it just breaks the flow of the video in a very strange way.
@@Xeziannot sure if they have any kind of spotify/ soundcloud but their youtube channel is "ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!" so go check them out! the song featured in the video is in the soundtrack (in the description), or just look up "CRTelecaster at Home" to find it.
Yo I recognized them as well usually I recognize stuff like that because of my autism like I’ll notice the slightest stuff so im surprised someone else did as well especially since that band isn’t super big yet
Channels like this... like DisruptTV, need to be protected at all costs. I admit, I am new to this channel, but seeing how every video is strung together with such high quality stitching- just breathtaking. Keep up the good work, really.
But the title of the video is about the deadliest computer virus, so it's a little clickbait when it jumps around and doesn't focus on the computer virus itself.
I get what he’s trying to do with breaking up the story like he is, but this is RUclips, not tv. We want the video to focus on what the title says it will.
If you wanna talk about WannaCry, great If you wanna talk about Paul Le Roux, awesome BUT If you're gonna talk about both, say so in the video title please.
@@flowgangsemaudamartoz7062 no look at the desc you can see that there are multiple stories that he talks about such as "WANNA CRY" and "CORRUPTED SCREENS"
@@depsey8749 okay but that shouldn't be necessary. the title does not hint at all that there are two stories being presented, neither does the opening narration.
Just a little feedback: when I saw this video in my recommended I thought it was one of the old ones and only realized it was a new one because of the upload date. It may be a good idea to change the title to something like “WannaCry” and the thumbnail in combination with the format being similar it may be though to be the same video. Because of this I almost didn’t watch, but otherwise it was a great video. Edit: A streamer I watch was about to watch this video and thought that it was the exact same one he watched before when he got linked it and chat had to tell him it was a new one so it’s not only me.
Actually this is the 3rd version of the "Earths deadliest [computer] virus" video. The first one featured MY.DOOM iirc and the last one featured ILOVEYOU. if you search up the title without WANNACRY you get all three where the MY.DOOM one was previously private. I have no Idea why its been done like this but the series if you can call it that is amazing
Maybe adding numbering to each of these could help, also shaking up the title might be a game changer. Earth's Greediest (Computer) Virus, Earth's First (Computer) Virus, etc.
First the worm thing then malware tech guy doin smthn and a woman killed then to pharmacies THEN mercenaries drugs and stuff idk man some connect but he just trashed the virus part i think
I clicked this video to watch while I played some games. I quickly realized this isn't a video to just put on in the background. It deserves my undivided attention and that it shall have. Incredible work
Boy I sure love it when your bass is so high on your mic i can't understand what your saying, only to get shot out of my chair by sound effects at 100x volume.
Okay but that Roto Chair is basically every transhumanist nightmare in one. "Time to jack in to my internet apparatus and not leave for 48 hours" kind of thing. That said: I'll take your entire stock.
I'm not entirely sure my brain comprehended exactly what I just watched with so many twists and turns but my man that was extremely well put together! Kudos!
@@spinyslasher6586 Format is one thing, but titling the video about topic you barely talk about over the course of the video, and through the rest of it you talk about completely different topic, making a singular vague connection between them without any explanation is another. Also, the format being so crisscrossed doesn't help with noticing the connection either.
I think this is the first time I've ever watched a video of yours and, damn, I am LOVING the editing. This editing is just fkn stunning. I can't take my eyes off it. It's very engaging.
I just realized something. These viruses seem to start out by something exploding. For the My.DOOM virus, it was a whale exploding. Now for the WANNACRY virus it seems like a bomb exploded.
whoever edits these videos is genius. i've seen a lot of videos like this where there is just a picture in the background and it changes every couple minutes. this kept my attention the whole time.
Others are saying how they dislike the way you tell two stories at once but i love it! The way you switch to another story has me asking questions about the first and then before i know it im hooked on the second story!
these videos so hard to follow... i get that there are multiple storylines in each video but even within each thread i cant keep up. imo the intricacies of these cases arent expressed v well in such a fast paced format.
i kinda have to agree. I completely missed the relevance of Paul’s story until I saw some commenter spell it out for me. The connection was very loose and the video focuses on drugs business much more than it focuses on Wannacry.
I like the vids, but the montage sometimes make it very confusing. You cleary want to set up an ambiance and a rithm to the video, but The narration kind of jumps from place to place
@@Vrtpnwr I think that the first story (WANNACRY) was used to link to the second story about Paul's empire, which isn't clearly said. It's kind of confusing with the video being titled WANNACRY too, but that story wasn't even resolved.
for those of you that don’t understand it, these two stories have very little (if any) correlation at all between one another. these are two stories told separately and are meant to be followed as such. you’re not missing a link, there simply isn’t one to be found
Can I just say that these videos are of the highest editing quality. Best I’ve seen on this platform without a doubt. Massive props to you disrupt, never cease to amaze.
I'm basing my thesis of the WannaCry attack, to keep my mind refreshed I keep watching this video as its one of the best short and up-to-date documentary I found. Amazingly edited also :)

Although it takes inference I believe Paul is behind wannacry although the how/why part and some holes left from the lack of how/why are definitely there
You know that disrupt is a good content creator when you can't even tell that there's a sponsored segment
this is the comment i was searching for so i didnt have to say it
They just got an ad with the same aesthetic as their video , it only made sense bc the entire video was unrelated and didn’t make sense. 💀after about 6 mins he started talking about some drug and it never came back
yeah but once you realize, it's pretty disgusting how frequent they occur
@@noahhkun5097 one of the guys who worked for paul created wannacry I think
Yeah it came off as just another random tangent into another completely unrelated story just like the rest of his content. The sponsor ad could be for dog food and I would just assume it's another disjointed story.
It's stupid.
ok, but who is going to talk about this ABSOLUTE BANGER that starts playing at 4:53
"Boaz said he started the company with his brother, Tomar."
Once again the almighty Tomar is caught red handed in his nefarious acts.
I'm surprised it didn't talk about how he murdered his loving wife jaxxi, she really shouldn't have eaten his spagheteye
Tomar released the virus as a way to access all data related to the location of the Tomar Emeralds.
I had heard rumors about his involvement in the criminal underworld but I never believed that he was involved in those horrific acts until I watched this video. He is a menace and needs to be stopped.
What a warped little character >:(
I’ve come from the future, I cannot tell you when, I was sent back before he released a unrivaled power against this world, but you need to stop him before his power becomes too powerful.

It’s too late dude I’ve already dropped a philosophical comment
Aw man, I was just on top of my apartment. I guess I’ll go back inside
want to know what WannaCry is? well probably dont watch this video cause what youll get is about 7 minutes of wanna cry, 21 minutes of an unrelated story, and over editing (honestly with such good quality and abundance of good animations and edits in general youd expect to at least know what youre watching at a given moment). basically click bait
I was a bit confused about how it switched between the 2 stories and how they were related
I don’t think they where tbh it confused me so bad, glad to see I’m not the only one
I was super confused. It's a good video, but it seems as if we fell to some clickbait
@@DFOwl good visuals, bad handling of the story
@80sCovers Can barely even call it clickbait, the title is actually misleading
It's something that happens a fair bit in Disrupt's videos, you kinda get used to it.
Out of all of Disrupts videos the "Virus" ones gotta be my fav
Here's something to lift your spirits...The channel is full of stuff...ruclips.net/video/OzIVCJzpw-w/видео.html
I heard the start as "a mom explodes in boys room" and thought that was the first case of the virus but no, it was bomb
@@thepizzaman9159 LOL
I feel criminal for viewing such incredibly high quality videos, truly, these are insane. Every square inch and millisecond is packed with fascinating editing work. Also, the way you make a continental leap to another topic that seems completely unrelate, then slowly draw the connection and deepen the topic even further is just perfect. You keep us in a constant state of elegant suspense. Top notch, Disrupt.
Edit: nvm, I wrote this in the middle of the documentary, it was just sporadic lmao.
I’ll be completely honest here, even though this video is a really well made from an aesthetics/presentation stand point, the pacing and structure is REALLY confusing. I’m trying to read comments to see if I missed anything, I get how the pharmacy company and murders and underground crimes are kinda connected? But they weren’t connected at all to the WANNACRY Virus unless I missed the part where it is. I say this with the hope that in the future your videos can be better explained, because I really like how it looks and I feel it could improve more. I just wished I didn’t feel stupid not understanding the connection and I feel a bit betrayed that the virus wasn’t really the point of the video, which is why I clicked on it. People saying this is clickbait are not entirely wrong.
I get that this particular video is confusing (it’s dense with an absolutely bonkers story that might deserve its own video, plus the title makes it seem like Wannacry is the main story), but these videos, the ones about viruses/cyber-crimes, are all in this format. Two completely/mostly unrelated stories in one episode, split into two parts each, switching between the two. Wannacry and the organized crime empire are NOT related.
The video starts with Wannacry part 1, then crime empire part 1, then onto Wannacry part 2, and the rest of the video is crime empire part 2.
Again, it is pretty confusing (and comments claiming connection between the two make it way worse), but that’s the format. Perhaps a disclaimer at the start saying “This video is about two separate real life events, here’s the structure of the video” would be helpful.
@@somekindofgnome8477 I know it's common for him to do it but if its a format that confuses multiple people I don't think it's that good of a structure for a video.
Pakito I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the structure. The other videos have the exact same structure, but there’s no confusion about any of them. It’s the title of the video, dating of the stories (these videos are often about events many years apart, except for this one), location of the stories (a mysterious virus and an international crime empire instead of well-defined settings), and lack of a satisfying conclusion to Wannacry that combined for a confusing experience that could’ve been prevented by a clarification at the start.
Or maybe Disrupt shouldn’t have paired these two stories together in the first place. They’re both well worth covering in this series IMO, but together might’ve been a problem.
@@somekindofgnome8477 If I need a comment to explain the structure of a video to me maybe the structure should just be different?
yep
The memes, the animation, the way the whole thing is setup, is more perfect than most youtube videos could ever be.
I feel like Disrupt’s first wannacry video (that he had to take down) about Marcus Hutchins brilliantly told two separate stories that ended up coming together perfectly. But these two stories seemed completely disjointed and unrelated. Maybe I missed something?
Y did he have to take it down?
@@currentlybuyinggme7357 I remember him posting about it. I think it was the transcript he used for the rest of Hutchins' story was almost a direct copy from a website without agreement or credit. Admitting to that fault, he took it down and reworked it into this video. Still interesting, but not as good I feel.

Like cool visuals and storytelling, but it just shifts to a completely different story
There is some connections if you pay attention
Your first time watching Disrupt? His videos are all connected with each other, however they’re all separated short stories on their own.
read some comments, i completely missed the relevance of Paul’s story too. The main story doesn’t so much focus on Wannacry than it focuses on Paul and his Walter White drug business.
@@tracersloyalwife There's no connections between Paul, his business, and WannaCry.
pual made wannacry
Ngl your videos are my current main thing to watch, well put together,long, interesting, and your voice is very calming
You need to stick to just one story throughout a single video, your best uploads are the ones that do this. This back-and-forth format might work for special cases where two stories are very closely related to each other and have a direct effect on how they end, but in regular cases like this it just breaks the flow of the video in a very strange way.
agreed... i would thumbs up, except there are exactly 69 likes rn
In all fairness, I get your point, but Its scripted like an average tv show. There's 2/3 stories that bounce around
You can just go to the time the second part starts.
WANNACRY

Except he never connects the fucking dots. What a waste of 15 minutes
Y’all he didn’t clickbait, the wannacry worm was discovered and led to the underground criminal world where this case was found
The main thing was that the video switches between the crime story and the virus story, which can confuse people.
But the title of the video is about the deadliest computer virus, so it's a little clickbait when it jumps around and doesn't focus on the computer virus itself.
the two are not connected
I get what he’s trying to do with breaking up the story like he is, but this is RUclips, not tv. We want the video to focus on what the title says it will.

There were timestamps in the description
@@thenuggernaut9084 I am aware of that. It doesn't change that I wished he talked more about Wannacry.
@@NicoTheCinderace Cool. Then this video was for you but not for me. 😊
Is it just me or is this "documentary" 90% nothingness and the other 10% actually WannaCry?
Just a little feedback: when I saw this video in my recommended I thought it was one of the old ones and only realized it was a new one because of the upload date. It may be a good idea to change the title to something like “WannaCry” and the thumbnail in combination with the format being similar it may be though to be the same video. Because of this I almost didn’t watch, but otherwise it was a great video.
Edit: A streamer I watch was about to watch this video and thought that it was the exact same one he watched before when he got linked it and chat had to tell him it was a new one so it’s not only me.
Actually this is the 3rd version of the "Earths deadliest [computer] virus" video. The first one featured MY.DOOM iirc and the last one featured ILOVEYOU. if you search up the title without WANNACRY you get all three where the MY.DOOM one was previously private. I have no Idea why its been done like this but the series if you can call it that is amazing
@@Maxwell30110 i think the MY.DOOM one was took down because of copyright issues because he took the story from somewhere afaik
@@redtro8678 i believe its up again but it makes sense why it would disappear
Maybe adding numbering to each of these could help, also shaking up the title might be a game changer. Earth's Greediest (Computer) Virus, Earth's First (Computer) Virus, etc.
New around these parts huh kid?
Can't believe we can watch this such quality content for free.

@@iofromthesky I figured, i was just a little confused.
Did you watch the previous parts of this series? This is how it's formatted.
@@spinyslasher6586 Format is one thing, but titling the video about topic you barely talk about over the course of the video, and through the rest of it you talk about completely different topic, making a singular vague connection between them without any explanation is another.

I think this is the first time I've ever watched a video of yours and, damn, I am LOVING the editing. This editing is just fkn stunning. I can't take my eyes off it. It's very engaging.
I just realized something.
These viruses seem to start out by something exploding.
For the My.DOOM virus, it was a whale exploding.
Now for the WANNACRY virus it seems like a bomb exploded.
Did your mind explode when you realized this?

Others are saying how they dislike the way you tell two stories at once but i love it! The way you switch to another story has me asking questions about the first and then before i know it im hooked on the second story!
these videos so hard to follow... i get that there are multiple storylines in each video but even within each thread i cant keep up. imo the intricacies of these cases arent expressed v well in such a fast paced format.
Oh, so those are unrelated to each other? Welp, that saved me a third watch trying to see any common name or anything...
i kinda have to agree. I completely missed the relevance of Paul’s story until I saw some commenter spell it out for me. The connection was very loose and the video focuses on drugs business much more than it focuses on Wannacry.
I totally agree, I thought I had missed something once the credits started rolling
Well i did followed
I like the vids, but the montage sometimes make it very confusing.
You cleary want to set up an ambiance and a rithm to the video, but The narration kind of jumps from place to place
was a little worried that I was just an idiot until I saw other people confused about the story. glad I'm not the only one.
This video was all over the place.
So wannacry was made by this guy? I'm still confused.
@@Vrtpnwr I think the only connection is that these 2 events happened on the same day in 2017.
Kinda dumb
@@Vrtpnwr I think that the first story (WANNACRY) was used to link to the second story about Paul's empire, which isn't clearly said. It's kind of confusing with the video being titled WANNACRY too, but that story wasn't even resolved.
@@sbilldmilk no nsa helped resolved wannacry which lead them to discover his drug empire so that's how both are related.
for those of you that don’t understand it, these two stories have very little (if any) correlation at all between one another. these are two stories told separately and are meant to be followed as such. you’re not missing a link, there simply isn’t one to be found
