[0:00]From shamelessly stealing another YouTuber's personality, to blatantly copying other scripts. Here are the eight biggest copycats in YouTube history, starting with the most famous copycat, Brent Rivera. Who would release a unique video on October 22nd, 2022, pretending he was a food critic, earning over 40 million views and 2.5 million likes. But the public perception would change 10 days later, when a smaller YouTuber, Josh Slavin, calmly called him out. Despite Josh claiming Brent credited him, many started questioning the YouTuber for the originality of his videos. Including another creator named Tyler Oliveira, who after seeing two women portraying the Shining twins, confronted him. I was in the middle of a fake YouTube prank. I wanted to see if Brent would admit it, because we all know those videos are fake and he steals everyone's ideas. Nevertheless, Brent would continue to steal from others, forcing another YouTuber named Dabbi to expose him.
[1:32]Also revealing the numerous YouTubers he copied from, including Matthew Beam and Airrack. But if Brent's game were to copy from smaller creators, the Stokes Twins started the same way before upgrading to stealing from a much more famous name. During the 2020 pandemic, the Stokes Twins would upload a video titled The Problem with Online Classes.
[2:10]Leading a smaller YouTuber, Charles The French, to share its uncanny resemblance to a video he posted a month earlier. Despite the backlash, the Stokes Twins leveled up their theft by releasing another video on July 24th, 2021. Which was strangely similar to what MrBeast did three years ago. And another one, which was also a rip off.
[2:59]Worse, they also copied MrBeast's channel banner, leading other YouTubers to investigate further.
[3:25]Stokes Twins are like the definition of a student that never studied, but have many friends that are smart, so they just ask for the answers. But if Stokes Twins were exposed for copying MrBeast's execution up to the packaging, SSSniperWolf would be caught stealing an entire personality. On April 10th, 2020, SSSniperWolf would accuse Canadian YouTuber AzzyLand of stealing her identity. She has been copying my videos/thumbnail style/the way I talk for years, like she's trying to convince people she's me. She would even come to the point of throwing shade at AzzyLand.
[4:02]Leading fans to side with her. But that would change three years later, when Azzy came forward to reveal who the real copycat was.
[4:25]One of the many videos a Sniperwolf copied from Azzy was released on December 31st, 2018.
[4:35]Just six months later, Sniperwolf released hers, wearing a similar dress. Nevertheless, Sniperwolf denied the accusations, but fans didn't believe her anymore. So the dates of uploads mean absolutely nothing to you? She uploaded first, then you. How are you missing that point? But if Sniperwolf stole someone's identity, Jake Paul's strategy would be to target trending content. On October 22nd, 2017, Jake Paul would release a video featuring his ex-girlfriend, Saxon Sharbino. But four days later, another famous YouTuber, Shane Dawson, would reveal that Jake copied the video idea.
[5:34]He would explain why Jake chose to copy him.
[5:44]And react to his video. This led the internet to despise Jake. Jake Paul is just a constipated drowned rat. Nothing more... nothing less... I wish the low life the best because where he is going it will end. Money doesn't last forever as well as subscribers. But if Jake didn't bother to respond to the copycat allegations, Asmongold, a World of Warcraft YouTuber, would single-handedly destroy his accusers. On April 30th, 2020, a smaller WoW YouTuber, Vaulty, would claim that Asmongold copied his video idea in a now deleted video.
[6:40]Forcing the accused YouTuber to address everything in a 33-minute video three days later.
[6:54]Backing his claim by first making fun of Vaulty's petty claim that they mentioned the same server.
[7:24]And pointing out the obvious reason behind their similar game activities. The most shocking part was when Asmongold turned the tables. So, if anything, he copied me.
[8:06]But if Asmongold was praised for the way he cleared his name, Minecraft YouTuber Steveee would be hated for trying to dodge the accusations by pointing fingers at other creators. On March 20th, 2021, Steveee, known for uploading five times a day, would release a video of his character exploring the cursed desert temple, which earned 2.7 million views. But a year later, a Reddit user exposed him. This inspired more victims to come forward. Mumbo Jumbo, another Minecraft YouTuber with 9 million subscribers, would point out that Steveee stole his self-building bridge idea.
[9:04]Leading the accused YouTuber to delete his video. With more accusations surfacing, Steveee finally released a response video titled End of Steveee's career EXPOSED. But instead of actually addressing the allegations, he only made up lies about his accusers. When you are so ish at defending yourself you literally start lying and making the other creators the bad guys. In the end, Steveee's reputation was permanently tarnished. Much like OnlyJayus, whose downfall was caused by her direct plagiarism. August 7th, 2024, already controversial TikToker OnlyJayus, would be called out by a smaller TikToker EverydayAlex for copying his content.
[10:09]Many agreed with him. But just a day later, a leaked screenshot of OnlyJayus's response surfaced. This guy is claiming I stole his content, but we used the same Reddit page and read off of it, prompting Alex to come up with a deal.
[10:40]While waiting for an answer, he released a 5-minute compilation of OnlyJayus stealing scripts from other creators.
[11:00]Forcing the accused TikToker to finally show the evidence on a now deleted live stream.
[11:19]The proof, however, would be debunked shortly after. But if OnlyJayus's style was to benefit from others' scripts, Alex Warren would literally make himself a clone of a popular YouTuber. On January 16th, 2020, Alex Warren posted a video where he talked about his plan to surprise a friend.
[12:10]While the video seemed harmless, fans immediately recognized the familiar mannerisms.
[12:31]Soon after, other content creators discovered it wasn't just the mannerisms.
[12:43]Leading to one of back then David's friends, YouTube Barber Jeff Wittek, to confront Alex.
[13:12]The internet, however, knew he was lying. Which would be proven by the lie detector test.
[13:37]Finally pushing Alex to admit the truth, proving that he's one of the worst copycats in YouTube history.
