I find it funny that Preston praises Jesus in his bio but scamming and exploiting children ensured that he will one day go to the deepest darkest part of hell
greed is the 4th layer of hell btw I think the last layer of hell is occupied by judas and lucifer and also idk I am not a Christian and I got it from dante's inferno book which I think is probably a biblical fanfic I have read it its mostly others praising dante for no reason
A whole bio about being a wholesome RUclipsr for children and about loving Jesus and he went and made several illegal casinos for 7 year old. Well done for the moral high ground Preston
I gotta say, its weird having gone from someone who used to watch him YEARS ago when he still did parkour maps with his friends, growing out of it and having no knowledge of what he's doing. Well, except for the few times ive seen one of his videos pop up in my recommends, and giving the smallest glimpse into how much he's slowly begun to pander towards a younger audience over the years - and now this
I remember when he had like 2 million subscribers, and that was considered big back then. The content of most of the pack became more and more clickbait. Its unfortunate the pander to kids has increased with each passing year since those days.
@@arandomperson920 same. I used to love Preston's hide and seek vids and unspeakables crossover content, like that survival series with moose or the stranded series.
As a week one player of cosmic skyblock, and past cosmic prisons and pvp player, I completely agree it needs to be shut down completely. At this point, the administrators AppleOfficial and LDram on the server don't care about simple player feedback and criticism. The community sits there and calls you weird the second you share any dislike of the system or moderation. Just yesterday I called out the admins in the general chat for permanently banning people who had spent hundreds of their hard earned money over discord screenshots of all things! When I called them out, the majority of the community came to meat ride them all and to call me crazy and other names for merely being upset they wouldn't even listen to my criticism or feedback despite me being apart of the community for close to 6 years now.
I remember being younger and being so excited for the CosmicPrisons release. Back then I actually enjoyed Prison servers and I was willing to just grind with my buddy and chat long into the night. Nowadays, I regret the fact that I bought ranks on that server because of just how... Disgusting it was. The grind was soul-crushingly mind-numbing, especially for people like me who don't particularly like PvP or trying to join clans/guilds. I likely would've given up entirely on the server so much sooner if I hadn't bought a rank for it..
@@fujster It was, it was. But that's exactly the kinda reason why it's good that Epic's calling out this kinda stuff. When we're younger, we tend to have a LOT looser grasp on the concept of money. Back then, buying a rank felt like no big deal at all nowadays. Now? Even a ten dollar rank is something to think about and weigh carefully. Don't get me wrong, back then, I was absolutely willing to grind F2P, it was actually kinda fun to my younger brain. But to that same brain, getting those kit materials and either using them or selling them on the AH was even more fun. It's a predatory sort of market system to it's very core (which even og-network isn't entirely free from) but at least with ranks, it's a one and done thing. Predatory to a younger audience, but not nearly as harmful as loot crates and the like.
i remember playing prisons and and picking up a kit pickaxe someone dropped, it was night and day compared to regular pickaxes... not to mention the gkits being a thing you can have stole from you... such a bad idea
I used to play this server aboslutely all the time in 2015-2017. It was crazy, never really noticed the servers true colors when I was young back then. Crazy stuff
Preston really sold out back in like 2015-2017 he just seemed to enjoy making content with the pack and woofless but now he has shifted his demographic to 7 year olds
This server was my entire childhood. Jungle planet player for almost 7 years, interstellar with a bunch of rep. I loved it. Did I have to spend some money to succeed? Yes. Do I look back it now and realize how wrong that was? Yes. Does it mean I don’t have over 2000 hours of good memories on it? No. I loved cosmic pvp. I miss it.
he’s been doing it for years! i remember first playing on cosmivpvp for factions like 8 years ago and the only way too move up is buy ranks or keys. complete bs
I used to play cosmic a lot, we were the number one faction for years on lava planet. Gambling is the least of the morally questionable things children engaged in. That place was a cesspool.
Missed opportunity to mention their tumour of a "Community Manager" ypperin. Cosmic was generally seen as a meme server in the competitive community. You played Cosmic if you; were willing to spend your paycheck/birthday money, were a fanboy, or "Couldn't hang". Servers like Saico and TreasureWars soon followed suit with the monetization methods used to squeeze parent's money out of children. These methods along with the overwhelming amount of money incentive (Payouts) entering the community is what killed factions.
Erin was known to be a very serious person. Not a simple CM to bite with. We can’t even count the innumerable amounts of her insane outbursts that were uploaded onto the internet at full blast.
i mean these bozos literally donate money to church instead of actually doing what jesus preached and helping your fellow man, be it through charity or directly helping (e.g. providing food to homeless people)
Modern day pharisees is what I like to call them. (People who preach and preach that they love Jesus Christ, however they only follow the law to a half measure. Though if they have christ in their heart they will be saved the portion of heaven they gain will be far less than that of someone following the full law)
@@homework8969Agree. They "obey" Jesus when they're not really obeying Him. Jesus said "don't steal" while these guys go scam people. Like, if you're gonna say you're a follower of Christ, at least try following Him bruh.
if i had a nickel for every time ive seen a man with the name preston turn into a greedy monster that heavily abuses child gambling to make millions of dollars, i would have 2 nickels.... which.. isnt a lot, but its weird that its happened twice.
this is how its always been. cartoons were made to sell toys. minecraft youtubers that market themselves towards children end goal is always a p2w minecraft server. hell even look at sundee's recent server. even he said the prices were disgusting. people have always taken advantage of how easily a child can get their parents to spend money. edit: i'd say any server that has a store you can spend real money on is aimed at exploiting people anywys. None of the items have any actual value, and even then the server owners themselves decide what the value is for those items. none of its tangible, and scarcity is fake and manufactured to manipulate people into thinking what they're getting is worth it. It's almost exactly how mobile games try and fomo people into spending money like "leaving soon 900x value" when there is no actual value there, what so ever. 900x could just as easily be 50000x or just the normal going price. because it's arbitrary and the owners decide what its worth with no over sight or regulation at all. No way the dude who made this video has a server you can buy a 200$ rank on. sure its not as egregious as the other servers but come on man, you know nothing you're giving players is worth that much money.
Old cosmic was so fun, still talk to friends I made almost a decade ago to this day. But I had to quit at one point because it was either grind hundreds of hours while having plugs to get you certain stuff or pay money, and I didn't have either as a middle schooler. Nothing will come close to replicating that feeling that og Cosmic or even og factions in general gave me.
A lot of old Minecraft youtubers like preston have been falling off lately like turning greedy, boring, or even being exposed to talking to minors is really sad. Why can't people be fucking normal and fun anymore?
As someone who played this server, its really sad to see it put into light how bad it truly was. I played from 2014-2023, had nearly 9k hours and I payed thousands on this server. It used to be one of the best servers to play on especially when enchants didnt go over legendary/orange. Soul enchants were nice, but once they introduced the pink enchants (dont even know their names) it was game over. New players would leave after 2 days of playing because of how complex and money based the game was, and even me. I would watch preston and woofless nearly every episode and I hung onto the server and I would keep buying lootboxes until I checked my paypal and saw I spent over $3500. Quitting the server saved me thousands more and it hurts to see that someone you looked up to and watching was just there to make money off you. To this day Ill never forgive preston and woofless for that.
Oh and if you like factions (as I do), come check out my classic style factions server! IP: og-network.net Bedrock Port: 19132 Discord: discord.gg/ognetwork
2013 player here. Made many cannon concepts, played with ypperin (cosmic manager), ran a cannon server for 5 years etc. If you ever got raided by some weird cannon or perhaps an L stacker, my bad 😂
Don’t know if you’ve already done a video on it but you should do one about timeless pvp from ssundee and vikstar that server was heavily pay to win from the start then they got shut down 8 years ago crazy how much time flies honestly
this single video ruined my childhood 😭i used to watch prestonplayz's bedwars videos back in the day everyday.... now this explains how he got so rich... thank you for exposing him
i actually can’t believe how much i spent on that blackmarket just to cf it all away holy fuck they rinsed my 14 year old self but man i still miss an loved that server
I played CosmicPvP as a kid and the game got me to waste money on ranks and crates and had this weird culture where it convinced you that Minecraft EULA forcing servers to not be pay to win was a bad thing and would kill your favourite Minecraft servers. Because of this I was unironically pro pay to win as a kid
Its crazy how soon and loudly uwucutesingle was called out for promoting a gambling site for children, while preston was running the child gambling server himself and got away scott free.
Thanks for using my video👍🏽 my 2 cents on this is that I’ve been in Preston and Robs factions and spoken to both on few occasions. Not a bad word really to say about either. Preston is exactly how is on camera, behind the scenes. And wouldn’t we all cash in on a cash cow for such wealth. Yes of course we all would. It’s exactly what killed the game though so they have to own that and I’m sure they do. Top blokes though but it’s sad to see our child hood servers gone
I feel like the whole 'we'd all sell out for that much money' idea fails when you bring in illegal gambling schemes targeting kids.....like yeah we'd all run a p2w server for that much money but not everyone, especially those who publicly call themselves Christian, would exploit kids with literal slot machines. You may have had good personal experiences with them, but calling people who sell slots to kids to make a quick buck "top blokes" is......odd........to say the least...
I used to play factions servers specifically _not_ to participate in PVP and instead just give people things. That playstyle got less and less viable over time, with folks wrecking my base unprovoked more often the longer I played. Last couple times my base got wrecked before I'd even harvested my first run of crops.
Hello The Mister Epic, the Keyboard you are promoting is a FAKE. It is a cloned Logitech G915 with similar features (spacecraft-grade aluminium, N-Key Rollover, per-key RGB) and almost identical design (instead of screen you have a bigger wheel, not hotswap).
@@dozy6866 I din NOT say, that it was BAD, BUT the Features are so simmilar, that it is pretty much a copy. Alternatives are keebs like Keychron K1 Max. I mean, just take a look at the design. If it is not a copy, what is it then?
@@YupengZhaiYou do realise a lot of keyboards have very similar or almost outright the same features and looks as others. There’s only so much they can do with a keyboard before it becomes just the same as others. Doesn’t make them copies.

Sounds about right for a Christian to do

@@Uppersteel shut. up.
@@justjamie5006 what does this mean they were both working together for this.
I gotta say, its weird having gone from someone who used to watch him YEARS ago when he still did parkour maps with his friends, growing out of it and having no knowledge of what he's doing. Well, except for the few times ive seen one of his videos pop up in my recommends, and giving the smallest glimpse into how much he's slowly begun to pander towards a younger audience over the years - and now this
I used to watch both him and Unspeakable but I stopped when their content started being more for a younger audience.
I was a big big fan of Team Crafted, then The Pack. smh Preston has gone off the deep end
there's targeting a young audience when you're the same age as them, and then there's targeting a young audience when you're twice their age
I remember when he had like 2 million subscribers, and that was considered big back then.
The content of most of the pack became more and more clickbait. Its unfortunate the pander to kids has increased with each passing year since those days.
@@arandomperson920 same. I used to love Preston's hide and seek vids and unspeakables crossover content, like that survival series with moose or the stranded series.
As a week one player of cosmic skyblock, and past cosmic prisons and pvp player, I completely agree it needs to be shut down completely. At this point, the administrators AppleOfficial and LDram on the server don't care about simple player feedback and criticism. The community sits there and calls you weird the second you share any dislike of the system or moderation. Just yesterday I called out the admins in the general chat for permanently banning people who had spent hundreds of their hard earned money over discord screenshots of all things! When I called them out, the majority of the community came to meat ride them all and to call me crazy and other names for merely being upset they wouldn't even listen to my criticism or feedback despite me being apart of the community for close to 6 years now.
Remember watching this dude’s videos as a child. It’s always heartbreaking watching your childhood heroes fall from grace.
This has been going on forever this is just the year that these pieces of shits are getting exposed
I remember being younger and being so excited for the CosmicPrisons release. Back then I actually enjoyed Prison servers and I was willing to just grind with my buddy and chat long into the night. Nowadays, I regret the fact that I bought ranks on that server because of just how... Disgusting it was. The grind was soul-crushingly mind-numbing, especially for people like me who don't particularly like PvP or trying to join clans/guilds. I likely would've given up entirely on the server so much sooner if I hadn't bought a rank for it..
it was designed to get u to buy ranks
@@fujster It was, it was. But that's exactly the kinda reason why it's good that Epic's calling out this kinda stuff. When we're younger, we tend to have a LOT looser grasp on the concept of money. Back then, buying a rank felt like no big deal at all nowadays. Now? Even a ten dollar rank is something to think about and weigh carefully.
Don't get me wrong, back then, I was absolutely willing to grind F2P, it was actually kinda fun to my younger brain. But to that same brain, getting those kit materials and either using them or selling them on the AH was even more fun. It's a predatory sort of market system to it's very core (which even og-network isn't entirely free from) but at least with ranks, it's a one and done thing. Predatory to a younger audience, but not nearly as harmful as loot crates and the like.
Sunk cost fallacy
Yeah I kept quitting by the chain level because the grind was just a pain and you can lose all your items easily at that point.
i remember playing prisons and and picking up a kit pickaxe someone dropped, it was night and day compared to regular pickaxes... not to mention the gkits being a thing you can have stole from you... such a bad idea
Bro didnt even try to hide the literal slot machines 💀
E
I used to play this server aboslutely all the time in 2015-2017. It was crazy, never really noticed the servers true colors when I was young back then. Crazy stuff
11:11 "I love me some Jesus" yeah sure you do
4:25 "burgeoning"? With a hard G like "burger"? My mans, I believe that's meant to be a soft G, not a hard G.
It’s pronounced like J. Like the G in Barge
its pronounced however the hell its understood. the English langauge has no central authority
@@beegman27 It's not understood as "burger-ning". Mispronounce words and people won't understand you.

Preston really sold out back in like 2015-2017 he just seemed to enjoy making content with the pack and woofless but now he has shifted his demographic to 7 year olds
This server was my entire childhood. Jungle planet player for almost 7 years, interstellar with a bunch of rep. I loved it. Did I have to spend some money to succeed? Yes. Do I look back it now and realize how wrong that was? Yes. Does it mean I don’t have over 2000 hours of good memories on it? No. I loved cosmic pvp. I miss it.
what a surprise to see a youtuber who sells a 200 dollar virtual pet going into minecraft to do almost the same thing
To be fair that’s literally how Pet Simulator works on GameFlip
thats a different preston lol
@@dog5742it’s the same guy?
@@Adiandude i don't think so
That's a different Preston.
Your sponsors are the only sponsors I willingly watch.
never thought i'd see a childhood youtuber do stuff like this first it was ssundee
he’s been doing it for years! i remember first playing on cosmivpvp for factions like 8 years ago and the only way too move up is buy ranks or keys. complete bs
This is from years ago, way before SSundee
I first started watching him during cod mw times… i don’t even think i wanna watch this video yet 😢
wydm ssundee is the first?
I think vikstarr is only one left, soon he might get exposed for smthn like other yters in his circle
If a single minecraft server can make 25 million dollars off children in 10 years, you gotta wonder how much these mobile games are making
I used to play cosmic a lot, we were the number one faction for years on lava planet. Gambling is the least of the morally questionable things children engaged in. That place was a cesspool.
Missed opportunity to mention their tumour of a "Community Manager" ypperin. Cosmic was generally seen as a meme server in the competitive community. You played Cosmic if you; were willing to spend your paycheck/birthday money, were a fanboy, or "Couldn't hang". Servers like Saico and TreasureWars soon followed suit with the monetization methods used to squeeze parent's money out of children. These methods along with the overwhelming amount of money incentive (Payouts) entering the community is what killed factions.
Erin was known to be a very serious person. Not a simple CM to bite with. We can’t even count the innumerable amounts of her insane outbursts that were uploaded onto the internet at full blast.
I miss treasurewars rip! I was a haunted swamp OG (before p2w era)
@@Sam_Hueypperin more like yapperin lawl
Being staff on this server and hearing Erin in TS constantly neglect her children because “she was working” was insane.
@@Kippurz imagine unironically knowing all this
Of course the guy with “Jesus is King👑” as his Twitter profile description scammed kids. It’s always the ones you most suspect.
i mean these bozos literally donate money to church instead of actually doing what jesus preached and helping your fellow man, be it through charity or directly helping (e.g. providing food to homeless people)
Modern day pharisees is what I like to call them. (People who preach and preach that they love Jesus Christ, however they only follow the law to a half measure. Though if they have christ in their heart they will be saved the portion of heaven they gain will be far less than that of someone following the full law)
Are you saying you suspect all Christians are terrible?
@@homework8969Agree. They "obey" Jesus when they're not really obeying Him. Jesus said "don't steal" while these guys go scam people. Like, if you're gonna say you're a follower of Christ, at least try following Him bruh.
@@Jake-bw3xs No but the millionaires who use being Christian as a front are usually not very moral people.
Must be hard making millions off of RUclips with fake videos and not going full greed, scamming your fanbase for even more money...
if i had a nickel for every time ive seen a man with the name preston turn into a greedy monster that heavily abuses child gambling to make millions of dollars, i would have 2 nickels.... which.. isnt a lot, but its weird that its happened twice.
Who's the other one?
2:58 My man casually hitting a flip reset musty double tap in kbm and using it as stock footage
Lmao that’s what Im saying!!
1:49 I see you. Respect from one man of culture to another.
preston's old videos where he played maps were one of my favorite videos and they still are. Its sad to see what money has done to him now
this is how its always been. cartoons were made to sell toys. minecraft youtubers that market themselves towards children end goal is always a p2w minecraft server. hell even look at sundee's recent server. even he said the prices were disgusting. people have always taken advantage of how easily a child can get their parents to spend money.
edit: i'd say any server that has a store you can spend real money on is aimed at exploiting people anywys. None of the items have any actual value, and even then the server owners themselves decide what the value is for those items. none of its tangible, and scarcity is fake and manufactured to manipulate people into thinking what they're getting is worth it.
It's almost exactly how mobile games try and fomo people into spending money like "leaving soon 900x value" when there is no actual value there, what so ever. 900x could just as easily be 50000x or just the normal going price. because it's arbitrary and the owners decide what its worth with no over sight or regulation at all.
No way the dude who made this video has a server you can buy a 200$ rank on. sure its not as egregious as the other servers but come on man, you know nothing you're giving players is worth that much money.
man every single youtuber that made minecraft videos in 2016 - 2018 either got into drama or made a p2w minecraft server and profited off of children.
Old cosmic was so fun, still talk to friends I made almost a decade ago to this day. But I had to quit at one point because it was either grind hundreds of hours while having plugs to get you certain stuff or pay money, and I didn't have either as a middle schooler. Nothing will come close to replicating that feeling that og Cosmic or even og factions in general gave me.
i couldve swore you already had a million subs by now. ive been watching for like 4 years and your videos always push me back into my minecraft phase
21:18 bro returned to the scene of the crime ☠️
A lot of old Minecraft youtubers like preston have been falling off lately like turning greedy, boring, or even being exposed to talking to minors is really sad. Why can't people be fucking normal and fun anymore?
4:11 I'm so glad that our favorite soulless husk has played it!
As someone who played this server, its really sad to see it put into light how bad it truly was. I played from 2014-2023, had nearly 9k hours and I payed thousands on this server. It used to be one of the best servers to play on especially when enchants didnt go over legendary/orange. Soul enchants were nice, but once they introduced the pink enchants (dont even know their names) it was game over. New players would leave after 2 days of playing because of how complex and money based the game was, and even me. I would watch preston and woofless nearly every episode and I hung onto the server and I would keep buying lootboxes until I checked my paypal and saw I spent over $3500. Quitting the server saved me thousands more and it hurts to see that someone you looked up to and watching was just there to make money off you. To this day Ill never forgive preston and woofless for that.

Is this like SSundee's situation where it's another case of a big name not showing responsibility for a server tied to their personality?
yup

Don’t know if you’ve already done a video on it but you should do one about timeless pvp from ssundee and vikstar that server was heavily pay to win from the start then they got shut down 8 years ago crazy how much time flies honestly
A two minute ad is crazy 😂. Get that bag!

i actually can’t believe how much i spent on that blackmarket just to cf it all away holy fuck they rinsed my 14 year old self but man i still miss an loved that server
This is so real
Spent thousands irl just to cf it all. So much regret.
I played CosmicPvP as a kid and the game got me to waste money on ranks and crates and had this weird culture where it convinced you that Minecraft EULA forcing servers to not be pay to win was a bad thing and would kill your favourite Minecraft servers. Because of this I was unironically pro pay to win as a kid
gonna have to hop on the server at some point, havent touched old school factions in yearss
At least Stampy and Sqaishey don’t scam their viewers, Stampy doesn’t own a server and Sqaishey doesn’t even want to make money off of her server.
All of my once favourite childhood RUclipsrs are now all scammers.

Thanks for using my video👍🏽 my 2 cents on this is that I’ve been in Preston and Robs factions and spoken to both on few occasions.
Not a bad word really to say about either. Preston is exactly how is on camera, behind the scenes.
And wouldn’t we all cash in on a cash cow for such wealth. Yes of course we all would. It’s exactly what killed the game though so they have to own that and I’m sure they do. Top blokes though but it’s sad to see our child hood servers gone
I feel like the whole 'we'd all sell out for that much money' idea fails when you bring in illegal gambling schemes targeting kids.....like yeah we'd all run a p2w server for that much money but not everyone, especially those who publicly call themselves Christian, would exploit kids with literal slot machines. You may have had good personal experiences with them, but calling people who sell slots to kids to make a quick buck "top blokes" is......odd........to say the least...
I used to play factions servers specifically _not_ to participate in PVP and instead just give people things.
That playstyle got less and less viable over time, with folks wrecking my base unprovoked more often the longer I played.
Last couple times my base got wrecked before I'd even harvested my first run of crops.
i miss the days of watching WholeMilk and Nickskibike playing on Shotbow HCF with their Wayo faction. cant believe its been like 10 years now...

Hello The Mister Epic, the Keyboard you are promoting is a FAKE. It is a cloned Logitech G915 with similar features (spacecraft-grade aluminium, N-Key Rollover, per-key RGB) and almost identical design (instead of screen you have a bigger wheel, not hotswap).
it's inspired by the g915, that doesn't mean that it's bad or "fake", it's just an alternative
@@dozy6866 I din NOT say, that it was BAD, BUT the Features are so simmilar, that it is pretty much a copy. Alternatives are keebs like Keychron K1 Max. I mean, just take a look at the design. If it is not a copy, what is it then?
@@YupengZhaiYou do realise a lot of keyboards have very similar or almost outright the same features and looks as others. There’s only so much they can do with a keyboard before it becomes just the same as others. Doesn’t make them copies.
