(READ DESCRIPTION) The Truth About Jakeyosaurus (And Other DST Youtubers)
1,476UPDATE:
A few weeks after publishing this video, Jakeyosaurus contacted me privately to discuss most of the things I said, and we were eventually able to reach an understanding about each other’s perspectives. In this video I often assumed that the harmful things he did to me and others were the result of malice, but from talking to him for an extended period of time I realized that many of these instances were the result of him genuinely not understanding the effect his actions had on others. I want to make it clear that this doesn’t absolve him of anything he did, as malicious acts are still malicious even if you didn’t do them on purpose, but Jakey reached out to me with the intent of taking accountability for what he did and we worked together to come up with a list of actions to take with the intent of making up for what happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again. For this, I do genuinely respect him, as virtually none of the other creators I mentioned in this video even acknowledged any of the things I called them out for.
Jakey and I have apologized to each other, and I would also like to apologize publicly here for the overly negative tone of this video, which was the result of attributing most of what he did to malice. While we certainly don’t agree 100% on everything, I don’t think Jakey is a terrible person like I said in the video anymore, and because he’s trying to take accountability despite having no real reason to do so I do believe he’s genuinely trying to correct his mistakes. Therefore, I won’t be making any more negative comments towards Jakey, and I don’t think anyone else should on my behalf, as the situation has been pretty much resolved. As I said in the video, I do legitimately want the community to grow from this and become a better place overall, and both Jakey and I agree that this is the best way to go about it.
This video will remain up so people have the full context of the situation, but also because the second half of the video (about the other creators like Jazzy) is still fully relevant as those creators have done nothing to take accountability for their actions or repair the damage that they caused. Otherwise, I would like to thank everyone who supported me after publishing this video, as I wasn’t really sure whether it would be conducive to any meaningful change, but I think I’m happy with the end result and I believe the community will be able to improve from all this.

Sorry that the video ended up being this long, I wanted to discuss such a wide variety of topics but really didn't want more drama videos after this so I decided to just put everything into one long video. Also sorry about the occasional mic pops and the varying quality of the voiceover, I recorded this throughout multiple days and wasn't able to find a consistent good quality setup
