Will 2015 be the End of RUclips Rewind? ► bit.ly/23VDUQa
Today, I'm getting a bit personal. Only four months into the new year and already 2016 has seen a ton of scandal on RUclips, but the biggest story of all focused around React World and the Fine Bros. As a friend of the Fines, it got me to really think about their situation, the React scandal, and how RUclips is changing. It's a weird time for RUclips and RUclips creators...and here are some of my thoughts. It was a very different, and very personal, episode for me to work on. I hope you like it.

To everyone saying that this video is "late" -- as I mention in the video, it's hard for people to look at a situation objectively when the Internet is raging. I wanted to take some time and look BACK at the situation with a clearer head. Would views have been better on this video had I released it in the middle of the drama? Probably...and that's the danger of RUclips culture right now -- rushing to hop on bandwagons with kneejerk responses to rake in views. But that isn't the point here. For me, it was much more important to do the subject justice and get a true assessment of my personal thoughts and feelings about what this means for digital content in general, hence it coming out now.
I see now
Cool 1st reply.
I agree completely with your points matpat! ps I love your videos :-)
+The Game Theorists Isn't this entire video an example of how competition increases value, and attempting to use government for control (trademarks) is a failure towards true development?
Yes...it is much easier to debate on the topic if it is not a 'fiery' time.
Dropping some serious knowledge. Respect.
+Austin Evans OH MY GOD HI!!!!!!
Hey bro!
+Austin Evans You have 1 million subs, ima upvote you :K
+bobby schutz even though i got no clue who t/f you are :K
Aye!
I feel like trademarking a word to prevent people from copying you is the business equivalent of licking your stuff as a kid to keep other kids from using it.
+Lilybel Ibe Right?
Haha I had people who would steal your stuff then lick and then stick it down their pants in order to stop you from wanting it back! 😂
+Lilybel Ibe Best comment I've seen referring to this issue yet XD
+Lilybel Ibe im trademarking EVERY LETTER OF THE ALPHABET now give me your money scrubs
I never thought of it that way before
There probably exists an alternate timeline in which Matpat trademarked the word 'Theory' and finebros would be reacting to it
Just wish his toxic fan base would leave new start up game theory channels that are making there own theory videos alone, and let them make there own content as well.
S
Look at your likes 666 lol
@@GANTZ100pts toxic?
@@Yourlocalbush Yes. Toxic. His fans years back when his Game Theory channel was new. Where harassing the newer channels telling them "they can't do that." When others tried doing their own game theory channels.
I want to shake the hand of the person who created this intro
.....This was six months ago and why do you keep ending your comments with :)
Its creepy
DankTank Games what's creepy is how you know that he keeps writing a smiley face in his comments
Dean Daboss Because he posted like 3 comments on this video like
"Good job dude :)"
"Cool video you earned a sub :)"
Uh. It was 2. One when I saw the intro for the first time and the other about the video itself. If I had put these two things into one comment, you wouldn't be saying anything :\
@DankTank Games
Not trying to argue but I find it kinda funny how you find smiling creepy. People have the right to show happiness through smiling even if that smile can only be shown through symbols on the internet. :3

Alsoooo... idk what's wrong with commenting on a video even if it's a pretty old video. If you have a comment it's better late than never and it's not like the comment section closes after a while of a video being upload.
-
I just don't understand why people go into comment sections and criticize things like that. *shrugs*
...but that's just a comment, a new comment! (on an old video)
I always love the theories you do on actual RUclips itself, it's definitely more suited for content creators than your regular audience and I really appreciate you doing that

You know, for so long I thought MatPat was about 25 and just had a girlfriend but today I found out he's 31 and has a wife...mindblown

Whaaa?? He looks younger than my older brother... who is 17...
this surprised me so much i shouted WHAT loud enough for my mom to hear in the other room.

Lol, get ready for your brain to explode again, THEY HAS A CHILD😂😂😂😂😂

LET'S TRADEMARK THE WORD TRADEMARK
THEN PEOPLE CAN'T TRADEMARK WORDS ANYMORE
GENIUSNESS
+Neil Divins Making the real suggestions here :D
A meta solution for a meta theory!
+Neil Divins Or we take it one step further. So we trademark the word copyright and copyright the word trademark, it's the perfect plan.
+Neil Divins I'm all for trademarking the TM sign, so every time someone has to mark a trademark, we'll have a never-ending row of the TM symbol because every time you use the TM symbol you'll have to show that it's trademarked by using the TM symbol.
No way MatPat, we wouldn't leave you for bigger companies theories...
....probably....
unless that guy with the crazy hair. from history channel starts narating theories. In which case Im outta here.

Hey both of you!!!
Watching this in january 2018 I feel like the drama of 2016 was just the beginning of what was coming to RUclips in 2017& now in January 2018. It's really weird to look back to a time that was said to be a big hit for RUclips...
I feel ya
Just makes ya dread what's coming next . . .
That is so relatable..
And I come from 2019. I bear not bad,not good,but _"meh"_ news. Also RUclips Rewind somehow managed to get even worse.
2019 boiiiiii
If I ever meet MatPat IRL, I'm buying him a diet coke.
The deadpool avatar just makes this even better.
+Taja Johnson Same man. Same.
id buy him a 6 pack
I'd buy a box.
I'll buy a truck.
Thank you for lumping me in with creators who just want to express themselves, which is why I've decided to finally abandon this business and make the switch over to my true passion, finger painting!

"One change to the algorithm could devastate whole RUclips channels"
*one year later*
WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED. MATPAT PSYCHIC CONFIRMED
MatPat, I've been watching for years now and honestly, one of the things I've realized about WHY I watch certain content and WHAT content I watch is almost entirely dependent on PERSONALITY.
You are who I'm watching. The content certainly is interesting, but even if it grew "stagnant" I would still watch this over something a corporation is churning out because it's YOU. I don't know how true this is for other people, but this is also why, above all other "Let's Players" I watch Markiplier and a as a VERY close second, Game Grumps. I watch the odd video by PewDiePie, jacksepticeye, cinnamontoastken, etc. But Markiplier and Game Grumps are where I go to watch new Let's Play videos because I LOVE Mark, Arin, Danny, Suzy, Ross (not so much...), Barry and Brian... They are like internet family to me. The years I've spent watching them also would make it really hard for me to stray regardless of the content produced (which yes, I have felt at times the content might've started lacking, but the fans give them a virtual slap in the face and things go back to normal again).
I've been watching videos on RUclips since the very beginning and I will likely be here until the site no longer exists. People like YOU (and everyone who works for your channel) are the reason I will be staying too. If every independent RUclipsr disappears because of the corporate interest and massive networks migrating to RUclips from TV, I will find a new location to get my media. There is a reason I haven't paid for cable/satellite in over a decade.... And it's because of the entertainment I can find on the internet. No other reason. And again, I'm getting into the territory of redundancy, but it's people like you who made RUclips what it is, so I really hope they realize that and don't start prioritizing TV content over the content of people who made RUclips what it is today. I believe in equal opportunities for everyone, so if certain content is better, or equally entertaining then sure, it deserves as much praise as anything else. But I hope money doesn't start completely influencing every facet of RUclips like Cable television has for 4 or 5 decades now.
What a long post... sorry... I'm quite passionate about this as well even though it isn't really something that impacts my livelihood at all.... However it impacts my lifestyle and that is VERY important to me.
LOTS OF LOVE AND APPRECIATION MATPAT and GAME THEORY!!! You guys are phenomenal!
+World+Savior I saw grump and I thought I saw trump lmao
+山岡アンドリュー Did Markiplier get a virtual slap in the face recently about his content? The middle of Fran Bow marked the day I gave up on him after years of loving his work; I watch Jacksepticeye now, he's so much more genuine…but I'd be happy if Mark got back on track. The last straw with Mark was when his fans started telling him he was trying WAY too hard with his "funny voices" while playing Fran Bow and he posted a comment saying "I don't know what you want, this is what you signed up for and this is what you're getting" - which I basically translated as "I don't care what you guys think or want anymore." He actively protested against his fanbase rather than listening to them - I mean, his fans weren't saying "don't do silly voices", we were saying "you're trying way too hard to be funny" (to compare, his LP of Off contained funny voices and it was actually good, he paid attention to the game and wasn't trying so hard to be funny that it hurt to listen to him)…To me, that marked the end of the Mark I loved and subbed to, no pun intended. Did he end up listening?
+Wandergirl108 yes, he ended up listening. He doesn't try nearly as hard. He actually made a video (on april fool's day) of him eating cereal for 5 minutes
***** Heh, you should see some of mine… XD
I can't read this whole comment can you give me a summary please?
I'm loyal. I'll never leave this channel
Me too.
+Odd Wright Same. ^u^
always stick with the smart theorists
long time no see mat I missed you and your theories
Same I won't leave film theory nor this one he the only YT that I feel comfortable
Honestly, I think you're way better than those big corporation youtube channels. You're way more interesting, and you actually seem/act human, which is always a plus. ^-^

+Death Soultaker yeah deathsoultakerisnati confirmed

It nearly made me cry seeing Ronnie on here.
Rest in peace Ronnie, may the demons that chased you be gone forever
I think the most important thing to me, is your personality, and that, even though the channel is growing, you are staying you. That is why I tune into every live stream I can, I watch and re-watch game theory episodes, it is because I am watching you.
+TheCrystalGem Also, I will be disappointed if this doesn't go viral within a week.
+TheCrystalGem Deep, i need a highfive from you through the telepathic interwebs at this moments now
Unlike a certain bearded man
in my opinion
+TheCrystalGem lol so tru
+Lost One I don't get it can you elaborate please?
For the record MatPat, I didn't even know VSauce3 did theories on games, you've always been my go to :D
+GraVeu same here!
heck i didnt even know that there WERE other channels that did theories on games
+Risktacer same lol
Sounds about right
I didn't even know Vsauce existed till a few weeks ago, and I just found out they had other channels than the main one. I've been with MatPat for many years now.
Matt this guys called Film Theory has been copying your style of videos for a while
They are literally exactly like yours editing style, look everything
I think you should do something about it
Oh... Oh my.
lol
I sense a troll
I really hope you joking
+TheApexPlayer they even copy his voice it is just sad
*When it's 2017 and you check matpat's subscribers on game theory (8 million) and u check vasuce3 and their subscribers are 3 million muhahaha haha*
I forgot my name wow I did the same....
but its 8.7 subscribers
Wow! One person I saw on one video and another *subscripes*
now its 9 million
He now has 11 million
Am I the only one that shed a tear at the end seeing all the theorist family?
I generated a tear, but never it dropped though... I do feel you.
your picture fits so well i'm crying
I don't know half of those people, so I did not shed a tear...
yeah, one tear isn't enough.....
+Tee Hee no
Out of all of the reaction videos to the Fine Bros controversy, I have to say this video stands out. Matpat isn't coming across as accusatory or even angry, which a lot of RUclipsrs are, he's actually explaining what's going on. I think I can understand a little more as to why the Fine Bros did what they did; I still don't agree with it, I still think it's an incredibly stupid move, but I can understand it a little better.
Fear makes fools of us all; it can drive even the sanest, most rational human beings into the realm of lunatic hysteria.
+ShatteredPsyche did some one quote that?
TACOS DERP THEN TACOS No indeed; it's completely of my own invention.
Yes. It actually makes us think for a while instead of making us choose to roam in a one sided argument
So the moral of the story is...
We should unite as an internet collective and fight the filthy TV invaders?
To arms brothers!
Filthy frank**
To arms! Resist this corporate invasion!
to arms!
aye aye! to arms
We go!!
You got your diamond play button now 😀
I hope I can say the same one day....
one of your subs will be saying that to you and so on......
I'll sub to ya!
I subscribed
Smart
Funnily enough, what drew me to your channel and subscribing to it was the fact that I don't play video games. For the longest time they've never really appealed to me, meanwhile my brothers have become big gaming enthusiasts [to a degree, at least] and the more they would talk on and on about games I'd initially not cared about, I began to feel left out and far behind as I had no one to talk to about my own interests while they would go on about theirs to each other.
Trouble was/and is, I just can't convert to gaming, I've tried and I just can't get with it, so all the while I'm still behind with little idea what anyone is talking about.
But after I started watching your Theory Videos I began to develop a new appreciation for video games, your videos have helped me to see a deeper, more intricate and thought-out side to things. Suddenly games to me stopped coming across as mindless side-scrollers and 1st-person shooters, but playable stories with a lot of time, effort, and love put into them.
Suddenly I had found a way to appreciate a medium I'd previously felt so alien to, and even if I still can't relate to my brothers [fussy, nonsensical little rats...] I thank you for that, MatPat, for helping me see a little farther
:)
+TorridPrime217 :o
For all we know, MatPat is just a ranting video game conspiracy theorist who has a sense of humor.
sir, I like your story
or miss, I dunno
Do I get a ribbon for reading all this?
"You might find someone's whose theories you like better then mine" you're right matpat I much prefer MrTheoristfist247 theories, than your theories.
+Kid Komedy I have just found out that that's a real channel and MatPats not crazy.
+Kid Komedy MatPat made that Channel.
Noah LH Did he?
+Kid Komedy check the comments on that video
+Kid Komedy LOL "I don't like your channel that has theories so I'm going to subscribe to another of your channel that has theories'
The "Seriously, Thank you for watching" at the end with the pictures of all of the crew members made me actually cry. That's an achievement, and I'm not going to say why because I don't want to sound sappy and attention-grabby, just know that I have a depressing backstory and that you need to know nothing further on the matter. But, in all honesty, MatPat, thank YOU for making your content, and, with the addition of GTLive, making me feel like a member of a community of awesome like-minded individuals. It's not often that I find a group of people that I actually like, and both you and Markiplier have brought together two of the most amazing communities I've ever seen. Markiplier has created a community of compassion, and you have created a community of intellectual pursuit and a quest for answers to life's questions, both of which I hold very closely to who I am, and how I think of myself. Once again, thank you, MatPat, for giving me one of the places I can look to and have faith. Faith that, even after I die, there will still be others like me that want to know, and to learn. Faith in the logical power of others. Faith in humanity as a whole. And thank all of you theorists reading this, with your big and beautiful brains.
:-/
+Aryc D; srry matpat this happened to me too. I had my name, someone stole it and my viewers srry I know how you fell.
Aryc, you should know, that there will always be someone for you. It may not always be the person you want to, like a random guy on the internet, but there will always, ALWAYS be someone for you. Even through hard times and all the difficulties of life, itself, there WILL be someone for you. And I want to tell you two more things... Life has lots of obstacles, that just have to be dealt with, one way or another. Every obstacle makes you stronger and more prepared for the next obstacles/difficulties. And I also want to thank YOU, you have gone through really though times and I am happy for you that you have made it. Also thank you for the awesome comment you left... I haven't seen such a long, powerful and well written comment in a really long time... You have a strong heart and from just reading your comment I can tell you're a really smart person. Use that as your advantage. Life is hard and full of difficulties that you're just starting to experience. Use the obstacles as your advantage for the next, harder obstacles... Stay strong my friend...
P.S. I know I'm just a random guy from the net, but I feel your pain... I am twelve as of now and I have already experienced a lot of difficulties with life. Believe me though it will get better :)
As I said... Stay strong my friend. And always try to smile... It is a weird part of the brain that whenever you smile, even if you're extremely sad it will make you forgot why you are sad and make you happy :P
forget* And also your comment almost made me cry :P
Kalin Mihaylov Thanks. It's nice when people care. Especially on the internet, due to its reputation for being so hostile.
3:12 almost made be cry. Ive been a sub for so long and its still sad to see him go.
Jeez! I wish this could have been seen in the midst of the controversy. It sheds light not only from someone who can put himself in those guys' shoes in a really pragmatic way, but also openly dissects the issue from many other viewpoints converging in something that can be more reasonably analyzed. They probably went over their heads on this one, but they are not certainly the "super villains" they were painted as being.
Well get me my crane berry kid, and I'll tell you the days of the Great RUclips REACT Controversy.
Agreed
There's a good reason why people think they are super villains. If you looked from their perspective, there were many RUclipsrs shut down just from the word React. Plus senior reacts came first before elders react yet they got copyright strike and it led to their channel being shut down as well. If you tell me this isn't another big corporate move being done by a Big RUclipsr then I'd say it's fine for Ellen to Forbes to steal every single idea from Big RUclipsrs. People don't care whether they trademarked the word but they are basically ruining others content, had you been a start-up creative youtuber, you'd be pissed.
I just got u 1 sub higher to diamond play button

I think big corporations should be restricted from this site. It's unfair how they get a space at the top of RUclips homepage even though they're already on the biggest TV networks in their respective countries.
+HD_Harold yea
+HD_Harold this is the absolute truth. maybe we should come together and create a streaming site to rival this? why is youtube the only major video sharing platform?
+HD_Harold I'm with you. They should have to earn their subscribers like everyone else.
+chauncy primm
Well, RUclips isn't exactly "efficient" in profit. That's why google bought it forever ago, that's why RUclips Red exists, That's why Companies are on top. I Imagine paying your way is better than paving it for companies.
+HD_Harold how would restricting them be fair? in principle
That's it. I can't take this anymore. I know how to stop this. I am going to trademark the word copyright, and copyright the word trademark! That'll show 'em
lmao
+The Gibus Man I support this plan of action. stay strong my friend. lol.
G.E.W.P!
Do it.
OH MY GOD YEA
Quite possibly the most understandable and plausible explanation for the whole Fine Brothers ordeal. Although they hammered the last nail in the coffin by absolutely Insulting the viewer in their followup video, I can see why an established content creator of a particular platform would suddenly get itchy feet with "their" space being Invaded.
The only good out of this ordeal is nobody will ever want to commit another Fine11
+DeanoSauruz I love your videos!!
+Pokemon Stuff thankyou duuuuude :)
+Dan L Thats what happens when you save a video to watch for when you have time to do so away from work and family life
+Dan L Okay hold on, late watching this video? Or are you implying the video I made on the incident was late?
honestly I follow a lot of theorist channels like the carlin bros, watso, etc. but game and film theory are my top favorites to watch. Honestly even when I struggle with nights of insomnia or depression, a lot of these funny animated videos with easy to follow theories with exciting, thought provoking questions, that often are questions only you guys would come up with, help me take my mind off of things, and the voices of both you (Matpat) and Austin are terrific to listen to, and honestly have conditioned me to find them relaxing whenever I'm stressed out. I've learned so much from y'all watching y'all's theories, and I hope y'all never give up theorizing, and I hope y'all have a long, prosperous channel!
Well said Mat! I can't remember exactly when I started watching your videos but it was WELL before the whole FNAF thing so... a couple of years so far? anyway. I've stuck around because I loved your style of video making then and I still love it today. So much research and care you put into gathering your information as well as bringing it to the viewer in an interesting humor filled way. You should be a college professor. Video Game History 101 or something. But then you started Movie Theory and GTLive and while, yes, those channels do limit the time you spend on Game Theory, it widens your range of interests and your audience. People who want to see you wrestle with Freddy with Stephenie go to GTLive and those who are burning to know if Anna and Elsa are really sisters or not should go to Film Theory.... I'm subbed to all 3 btw, because you are an amazing content creator.
I'd hate to see the day where you're not on youtube anymore, but if it does, I will go to the next platform with you. I'm not subscribed to youtube because of youtube. I'm subscribed because of you! (And Markiplier, Game Grumps, Jeremy Jahns, Peanut Butter Gamer, Smooth McGroove etc.)

I do have to say, I watch other theorists and don't always like certain game theory videos, but something about this chanel I really like. I can't put my finger on it, but it's just special and I can say, I'm going to be here for a long time.
Probably the amount of time, dedication and love for this channel is a direct correlation.
Yup, I absolutely agree. I've seen other theory channels, and I love MatPat's videos so much more!
Oh and matpat's lovely soothing voice 😚 i just love hearing his voice

I used to watch a lot of videos (mostly Let's Play's and vlogs) that were just sucking my time away. They were entertaining, but that was it. They didn't make me think. I didn't learn anything. It just made me laugh. And there's a time for that, but I have found many channels that aren't just entertaining. They are also enriching to my life. The build me up and teach me rather than just giving me a quick chuckle. You are one of those channels. You are definitely one of my favorite channels and I love to watch the live-streams (although I almost always watch them after they are streamed). Your videos are so unique, funny, thought provoking, and just in general, excellent quality. Keep up the great work!
+David William A. P.S. I just went through my subscriptions and got rid of another 6, taking the number down to 56. I look at my subscriptions every once in a while to get rid of the ones that I am not really watching or ones that suck my time away. However, I'm always finding new channels to subscribe to, but I get rid of some once in a while too. The number goes up and down, but it's usually around 60 on average.
I'm just saying but you have 9 subs and 5 videos.
+Alex Forrester SUBSCRIPTIONS not subcribers lol
Remember when RUclips was site with rodents dancing in the desert and flying pop tart cats
hey i liked nyan cat lol
The glory days :)
Badger badger badger badger
Mushroom mushroom!
ToxicTomatoz T.T. snnaaakkkeee!
Thank you again for a clean, interesting, fresh video. It's so hard to find content on RUclips that interests me AND is clean enough to not embarrass me in front of my parents. I actually showed your Matrix video to my dad, and he loved it.
MatPat, I don't know you (obviously), but I have a lot of respect for you for making this video. It was well thought-out and you make a lot of valid points. I hope you continue to make content in the years to come. This has got to be one of the most clear-headed and fair videos I've seen on RUclips addressing the Fine Bros. controversy. Thank you for being a champion of looking at the situation fairly (on both sides) and expressing your valid opinion as an incredibly popular RUclips content creator! :)
+Kevin Sigman The fact that you deal fairly and honestly with even your competing content creators speaks volumes about your integrity and sense of fair play as a RUclipsr.
They look like the homeless versions of Rhett and Link.
Lol
+Yovanni Saldana You just made my day xD
So true
True
Lol you won the Internet for tonight
A flower doesn't care about competing with other flowers, it just blooms. 😊
+Alvin Cornelius Deep...
but we're not flowers
cjua2803 It's a metaphor.
+cjua2803 It's also not true
I Call Bullshit on this quote
I've seen some of your videos for just a couple of weeks (between Game Theory and Movie Theory), and THIS one sealed the deal, I was kinda aware that you truly analize the topic you're talking about and come up with the best explanation for what's happening/happens/happened. I also found out about the FBE controversy a couple of weeks ago since I started watching their videos, but I came to a kind of similar realization as yours, I didn't care that much since I was more interested on the reactors (you as well since you've been on "RUclipsrs React") and kept watching their videos anyways.
I really love there's a youtube channel like yours willing to disect something to reach to it's secrets or even a "non-existant" response to something a lot of people might be asking themselves or even ranting about. I'll certainly keep watching your videos and probably recommend you with some friends I know they'll like you, but for now I'll just leave this comment and tell you congratulations for your diamond play button!!
He could make a 20 minute video about where cashews come from and I'd watch all of it. X'D
+ANoteToSelf That being said, this was amazing! Great job!
+ANoteToSelf You'd be surprised about cashews. Those are actually dangerous little bastards as raw nuts. But a video about them would be great. Plant Theory :D
Is this a tobuscus reference? xDD
+Sxxov DID YOU KNOW THAT CASHEWS COME FROM A FRUIT??
+Sxxov nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! haha it really wasn't. 😂🔫
No way! I will keep pressing the "B" button and stop RUclips's evolving!
+Alvin De Rama No, I tried that and it just makes you jump repeatedly.
B to blow?
+Alvin De Rama HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO LEARN HYPER BEAM IF YOU WON'T LET IT EVOLVE?!?!
+Noah Stockton hax
+Noah Stockton So THAT'S why RUclips keeps changing! What's its moveset now?
This video didn't show up in my sub box & I'm mad about it
RUclips is broken, you can only excpect so much.
Me too! Jeez!
+JeongCheol Trash It showed up in mine. Huh.
+Th3Jez Let's sue RUclips
+Th3Jez AGREED!!!!!!!!!
Matpat:2016 has the most drama in a short time span
2020: *allow me to introduce myself*
Matpat you're freakin epic just saying
Also literally no one is as great a theorist as you and the rest of the crew
+MC Kepitz wow...finally correct grammar.....how rare
Yep, no matter what , I'm on MatPat's side
Make a theory about how Infamous powers work.
You have to pay him to do it.
What
+sebastian walther he's lying
+sebastian walther Oh absolutely! I've beaten the game on every difficulty at least three times and this is a question I never stopped asking!
+sebastian walther YES INFAMOUS THEORY NAOW
All these people complaining about how late he is, when he LITERALLY said at the beginning why he waited with this video for a while. I CAN FREAKING PINPOINT IT WITH A TIMESTAMP: 2:43
Ikr
No matter the community, a lot of people on the internet are cancerous
+TheGravyNator
I was the 69th upvoter. But I only noticed it after the fact, so don't worry it wasn't JUST for that reason. Though, it was reason enough to point out, huehuheueu.
+Madi Well you have to remember that people just hide behind a username so they can just say what ever they want and not be punished, but they will never say that stuff to the person in real life.
I'm glad this was the first comment I saw
you think THATS a lot of drama for the start of the year? god I would love to show this old matpat 2018
Oz I would want to show Matpat the beginning of 2020
Just you guys wait for 2022...you ain’t seen nothing yet
2020 def broke the record lol
2021...
Every once in a while, a theory that isn't by game theory catches my eye, but most of those theories aren't thought out well and I always come back here eventually.
For the anniversary special. Work out how tall wario is
you look like Homunculus..... I'm keepin' me eye on you!
Amazing
4:09 wario is 10 feet tall
BE GONE HOMUNCULUS
+Jack Wood Or how fat.
They should make it illegal to trademark common words. It makes sense for invented terms for a particular product (e.g. Nintendo trademarking "Hyrule"), but common words like "React" is just heinous. What's next? The entire English language itself?
+RJTheHero im trademarking the letter "t"
+kooshades25 Wow, you jus had o do ha...
It isn't and shouldn't be illegal (if it were we'd have no edgy book titles), just damn near impossible.
Excuse me, but I trademarked the word "the".
+RJTheHero Honestly I think it should be just blocking Nouns and common words or single letters.
"Maybe we will have a diamond play button by then (5 years)."
I got news for you buddy....
I'm halfway into the video and I forgot it was about Fine Bros
It's a love letter, and an explanation as to why they did it.
It's going Vsauce on us! Wait...
right? lol
+Bye or Die Psst... I have an idea, let's gather up all the people, hop on over to Vsauce 3 and not come back for a week, just for fun.
+Fact Core That's okay...so did MattPat.
Many other people may make theory videos but to me Matpat is the OG and I will never go to the Ellen or Forbes side. I'm staying loyal to the best channel on RUclips. Drop a like if you're a part of the MatPat-ers (Working title)
*MatPat not Mattpat
Tobias Hankle "best channel on youtube" you are either a liar or a fanboy
super vegito its a personal opinion. "Best Channel" is not just about sub or view counts, it's more about how the contents we are watching, does it intrigue us and do we like it and if we do, on what scale. I can say theodd1sout is the best channel in youtube and some will say some other youtubers like Fine Bros, MatPat, Pewdiepie, etc, it's because we like it more than others, it's like asking whether is Durant or LeBron the best basketball player, or is Messi or Cristiano the best football player, in the end, there's no the best, only one of the best, because everyone's opinion of the best something will always be different.
For example my best YT channels are QJB, QiasOmar(QrewTV), VanossGaming, BuzzFeed (Worth It series), theodd1sout, MatPat, FineBros, Jacques Slade, Fitz, JesserTheLaser, Life Noggin, TSM, Twenty One Pilots. These are the channels where I will click first when notifications pop up. By now you know what content I'm interested in. I have to stress people change as well. Last time my best ones are Pewdiepie, Nigahiga, MatPat, FineBros, Bodil40, KSI, Vanoss, Matthew Santoro, Casey Neistat, SivHD, SSundee, WHZGUD2, yamimash, ZexyZek,.
Tobias Hankle ii
To everyone saying this is late watch the video.
He's talking about the long term fallout of what happened...
Finally!
Yes
well no one talks about that anymore really
to
+Pretty Pretty Voldie cheers, was just a typo.
I will never leave this channel, even if you are gone my friend
I will always stay with GameTheory
Jasper G lol
+Catmeat Unfortunately, that means someone else might.
me too
Let's just put it out there:
Mat, we're going to watch you just because you are you and not just because of game theories.
Matter of fact, I'd go as far as to say that with a lot of popular gaming youtubers - it's not even about the content they make. It's about the youtuber him/her/zhe self. (edgy SJW joke, I know)
Take Cr1tikal. Bro Team Pill. Burgerpaul. Robbaz. Hell, even YOU, Mat. All of these channels make a ton of videos that aren't about gaming at all, yet we still love them and watch them, just because we can bask in the warm and glorious comfort of your presence and energy.
So don't lose too much sleep over us. We'll be there to watch your ads anyway
+XFreeStyleZX Man, I'll never stop watching Cr1tical's videos, no matter what terrible game he's currently playing. As well as the other youtubers I enjoy. I just like them too much.
+AJ Brodha
That's pretty much how it works, yea
I support this statement.
+XFreeStyleZX *Birgirpal
+QuangAnh DoBui A fiver if you can pronounce that name right:P
Best video you've done in a while :-) I think its good to hear a theory that can perhaps leverage the understand behind the Fine Bros decisions however i still think there actions were the absolute wrong way ones to make. The corporate backing is arriving on youtube but they cant beat the charm of what makes RUclips what it is, that its a platform for independents and individuals to shine without the need for any big business.
+xisumavoid XISUMA! Didn't expect you here! Love your videos!
+John Nalus
Me neither. Gotta love Xisuma though - so much thought, dedication and intellect in one being...
Unless... Of course... THERES MORE THAN ONE XISUMA! D:
+xisumavoid this is a festering ces pool of "individuality" and "original content" but just because we're disgusting human beings for hoarding views and subscribers like golem to the ring, does not make us bad people, and it certainly doesn't give the fine bro's any right to take what little we call our own, our ability to make completely pointless reaction video's (all in all i'm agreeing with you)
+xisumavoid I agree! I tend to stay away from the big budget channels that are run by big companies. Not really because of principals or anything like that, it's rather the fact that like you said: they typically don't have the same charm and wit to them as creators that have built their channels from the ground up
+Ingó ó That's true. I watch YT to get away from the banal, structured, scripted and impersonal touch TV seems to have.
Hmmm.....
Then MatPat, you're PROMOTED!
I promise you, my friend, that i will never stop watching game theory, or film theory. So this is one subscriber you will never have to worry about losing. Even if some other company had "better" theory videos, i am attached to your channel for all things theoretical, and i will never go elsewhere.
True dat
SALUTE!
🙂7
+Jamie Chevalier IM WITH YOU TILL THE END PAL 😉
never?...
Does anyone else miss the SUPER AMAZING END CARD TOURNAMENT?
Jup

There's no other theorist like you, MatPat 😉
A Theorist Better than Matt? Hahahahah....thats not a thing....right?????? RIGHT!?!?!?!?!
OMFG ITS HIIM!!! AKFJASDIO JEIO GWERNRUIOGJRIOGN OREG
***** I have a theory for you to do...why "TheRealApp" Sucks at everything XD
noooooo!
yea that's not a thing
+TheRealApp Oh my gosh he is real!
when did the fine bros thing happen? do i live under a rock?
so do i apparently...
How it was literally everywhere!
You don't live under one, you are one. embrace you're rockyness!!!!!
Spriggan Turk yes, you do. unless you're new at youtube because it happened like a year ago.
The world is too big to not live with some rocks blocking your sight.
I love how 6 hours after matpat size the random name of MrTheoristFist247 there is already 6 channels made
3*
*size tricking autocorrect
+DrakesGaming fricking*
+DrakesGaming never lucky
+MrTheoristFist247 hahaha
14:00. Almost 5 years later and going strong. 13.7M subs. Love you MatPat
This is deep...
Meena Rani true
Meena Rani yeah...
That what she said
Is it bad I never knew the Fine Bros existed?
Liam Barnes I agree with you 👏🏻👏🏻
No.
CyberDuck no you've been saved the cancerous weird eye idiots
CyberDuck Nope. I didn't know they did either, until this whole React World nonsense went down. I think we were fortunate.
That's not bad...it's a gift!
"You might find someone whose theories you like better than mine." hahahahahahahahaha...hey! I think that was your first good joke Matt!
wait
Lolz
I read this part at the same time matpat said it
+erica creta I am
Preston Jacobs
You can't beat him.
I was surprised to see @RenegadeMediaGroup in the intro 😂
RUclips will keep evolving you say eh???? Now I have a use for all those everstones from pokemon
I have to admit, that was good. Now you made me feel like a Pokémon nerd.
+ThEpicTroller97 well there is always breeding for another use
+ThEpicTroller97 Sooo good! You are the best man!
+ThEpicTroller97
Around 999 rupees
Lmao
don't worry MatPat, i'll still be here, no matter what happens :3
oh and btw cheers for helping me out in science, i went up a set because of you xD
Vsauce 3 wouldn't be a good example of People stealing format, because the finebros tried to trademark something that wasn't their own format. They didn't create it, they used it. They tried to trademark something that they didn't create
And this is more a comment to people who try to argue that the finebros did nothing wrong. I'm not gonna stop watching them, but it should be recognized how it was pretty crummy
+pikeman smoshman Yeah, 'cause nobody ever made theories about games before MatPat, right?
+Ferenc Szaffenauer At least he didn't trademark the word 'theory'...
People get up in arms when you try to trademark their cultural phenomena.
+pikeman smoshman I think you may of missed what he meant when making the comparison, he simply understood the feeling that would drive them to do something stupid like trade-marking React and the such. They definitely did not create the idea of reaction videos, just as MatPat and Vsauce didn't create the idea of Theory videos but what is important is how said personality presents their content.
He was basically saying that he thinks they got scared that much larger businesses and even other RUclipsrs would steal the spotlight from an idea they helped make into something massive, despite it not being particularly original or in anyway owned by them. It was irrational but he understands why they may of come to that conclusion.
I love you MatPat you are be far one of my favorite RUclipsrs out there! As well keep up the the amazing work cause you have a viewer here always interested in what the Theorist network does next!
Gawker media went down, and a whole load of people enjoyed the fireworks, watching Hulk Hogan lay the smackdown on a gossip clickbait site.
Iconoclasm_ They ruined Hulk Hogan's life, so everyone's celebration is justifiable
David Azmy They did more than that, but yeah.
I miss the super amazing end card tournament. #MakeGameTheoryGreatAgain
Oh yeah I forgot about the end card tournament
+Emma Waters or #MakeGameTheoryGradeAgain
Game theory still is great, you're just stuck in their past
+Kuso Nakai their?
Same
I love this video. MatPat recounting his trials as a content creator really resonates with me. Keep fighting the good fight, dude!
I don’t know about you guys, but I will be here as you want me to be! New theories get me so pumped and I hope you never stop! Thank you, Matt, Steph, Ryder, AND THE ENTIRE THEORIST TEAM! You make me so happy. Just keep doing what you do.
