The downfall of Master Uguai will be studied for years to come, with many of his own viewers completely turning on him, and his multi-million subscribers YouTube channel being terminated, with comments reading, bro fell off. Cancel you've been digging your own grave for years, even your best friend said you f*** up. From repurposing entire Kong through panda scenes to inserting his own raunchy dialogues, Master Uguai has always walked a fine line between humour and outright content theft. If she looks at you for too long, she first must swallow your slob. Videos like this garnered him millions of views and a massive following, with over 7 million subscribers on his main channel alone. But this lazy and monotonous approach to content creation has also led to significant backlash. In fact, when you search his name on YouTube, the first video you see is about how Master Uguai is quote ruining YouTube shorts. Hi, I'm the internet anarchist, I create weekly YouTube documentaries, and today we'll be looking into how Master Uguai,

a once massive YouTuber, lost not only his entire audience, but his entire platform as well. Master Uguai or Ouma Sestam started his online career by making edgy YouTube shorts, voicing the Dreamworks character Master Uguai from Kung-Fu Panda. My students, if your Xbox you decided to read, then her mother you shall take. This is his whole stick, and since his formula was working for him, he ran with it, creating the same kind of shorts for months. Even though he was still raking in views, the YouTube community was quickly getting tired of his offensive, lazy and reused content. And a YouTube short, he explained how people were spam reporting his content in hopes of getting a band, and that Dreamworks itself was quote not happy with his work, unquote. One can only wonder why, perhaps sexualizing a beloved character from a family-friendly movie wasn't the best idea, just a thought. So to be safe from further accusations from Dreamworks, he had to do a face reveal.

But this was only the beginning, as things were about to get much much worse. After receiving a ton of copyright strikes on the 20th of May 2023, Ouma claimed that YouTube gave him one week until his main channel would be disabled. In 7 days, my account is going to get disabled. And the reason for that is because of copyright strikes. People are abusing copyright strikes and the copyright content idea to claim some of my videos where I react on. Later, on the 28th of May, he confirmed that one of his videos on his channel was removed by YouTube and that it would not be reinstated. What's interesting is how surprise Ouma was it being censored. One quick look at the ex-community notes shows that the video that got removed was titled Adolf Hitler is my n-word. Yeah, he wrote a song about that.

Despite the song clearly being a joke, it would violate YouTube's hate speech guidelines. And YouTube responded to his tweet by stating it's actually that. After a thorough review from our policy team, unfortunately your video won't be reinstated. Please reveal our policy on hate speech to avoid this in the future. But this was just the beginning of Ouma playing the victim. He would go on to consistently break YouTube's guidelines while still painting himself as unfairly targeted. Then, on the 1st of November 2023, his channel was demonetized. He took to his Twitter page and asked his viewers to spam YouTube to remanetize him with his tweet stating, Wow, I got demonetized. Is this how I get rewarded for creating thousands of videos and entertaining billions and making their day on your platform? Is this how I get rewarded for making you guys hundreds of thousands of dollars? I am one of your biggest creators and I don't even have a spokesperson to address this. And I ask for my viewers to tag YouTube and retweet this as much as possible. When this proved to be pointless, he uploaded a video on the 2nd of November 2023

announcing his permanent exit from YouTube because his content was getting constantly deleted, demonetized and his application to the YouTube partner program was denied. His fans were heartbroken. We will never forget how you served us master. Live on man. I'm so so ugey, you were such a great creator and I'm genuinely so that they did this to you and so many other people. It has been an honor. However, their sorrow didn't last long because literally the next day, Omar announced he had resolved things with YouTube and could rejoin the partner program if he removed his problematic videos. I luckily got the privilege to hear what wish he was ready to show. So I am going to move them and once I get my lights going on, I am going to move those and yeah, they're going to try and get me back to the YouTube partner

program. In the video, Omar thanked his fans who helped him dodge a bullet that almost ended his career and named us to say his supporters were overjoyed. Like this comment that read, we all love you master, you never deserved any of this. However, some people agitated by his return. They saw the demonetization as a fitting payback for master ugey stealing content and breaking almost every YouTube terms of service rule. You're telling me is broken every rule of TOS and hasn't made anything original and now his complaining sounds manchildworthy to me. With growing disdain, it was clear that this backlash was just the beginning of a much larger downfall and you'd think that nearly losing his channel would make Omar stop cheating and create unique content, right? Well, not exactly. Omar continued to steal content from smaller creators, which led to even more criticism. It was constantly called out for copying content to which made his videos even lazier. If that was even possible. In one video, the YouTuber One Giant Onion claimed that Omar shamelessly stole his video ideas. Also, I want everybody to spam master ugey,

I want everybody to spam hit any of his videos, I want them all to say One Giant Onion. This man is stealing my content and I need him to be stalked so everybody spam the One Giant Onion controversy and challenge him to give a response where Omar would respond in a video titled Addressing the One Giant Onion controversy. Stealing your content. That's interesting. Let's see the first time he posted this type of video. One of the arguments Omar makes is that he didn't steal any video ideas from One Giant Onion, but instead stole it from the YouTuber ADE. Watching Euphoria until there's a scene. Let's go to the channel of the guy who actually created this concept and I actually stole it from. Listening to an Eminem song until I find this, listening to 690's I hear in Yale, all both one year ago. Obviously, his being sarcastic here, as he points out that ADE was the first person to come up with this idea and that both One Giant

and Man like Isaac took inspiration from it as well. Omar then flips the script and accuses One Giant Onion of stealing his content. This is also very interesting. My opinion on women posted 15 hours ago. My opinion on women posted 23 hours ago. Showing they posted the video My opinion on women before One Giant onions version came out with the same title. Now all of this seems fine and logical at first. However, on the 9th of June 2024, One Giant Onion released a video that would share his side of the story. In the video, Onion explains it almost twisted the narrative by dressing only the parts that suited him. When I confronted him about this, he didn't take accountability. He just twisted the narrative to make it seem like I was accusing him of stealing a completely different format which I did not come up with. He knows who well which videos he steals from me because every time I try a topic out and it starts doing well, he will start doing the same exact thing two or three weeks later. He gave further proof pointing out multiple video ideas

that was stolen from him. I never called you out because of these fucking videos. I call you out for this shit. My opinion on LGBTQ people, this is the first video I made with this format and I posted it on April 14th last year. Here's your video. My opinion on black people posted May 4th. 20 days after my video was posted. And other creators such as Kadi Akai, whose video are titled Freestyleing Until I Accidentally Say Something Gay. Was copied by Uguai a whole year after the original video was posted. Needless to say, viewers were starting to turn against him and this negative reception is perfectly captured in one giant onion's comment section. With comments reading, the phrase Dark Humor has been permanently ruined by guys like him, as well as Bro. Everyone has been cooking this dude recently. It's gotten to the point that if you click any of his recent videos, his comments are filled with people hating on his content. With comments like,

I thought Bro was banned, as well as Bro decided to lock in after realizing that his original audience is starting to hate him. Master Uguai would respond to one giant onion by claiming that he previously made the same content as him and was pulling the ladder up behind him to have a moral high ground. And the one giant onion, I think he would take this seriously. Imagine doing the same kind of content and trying to save your ass by saying, oh this guy is bad, I regret my decision. You were doing the same type of, it's for years. These people taught me online, one giant one, Ben Escherick, the guy who made the video together with John Castellan. If they truly wanted to stop, they could just send a DM to me in April. She left with the content, because people are going to start hating you. No, what did they do? They made videos about it and tried to defame the shit out of me. That's not because they want they want you to be a better platform or me to be a better person. They just wanted to have something to talk about and make money and use. That's their whole goal. That's what I think. If it wasn't, if they were true good kind people,

they would truly just send me a message and go to the 8th genit, like seriously, you don't you've got to wait to fall. To make matters even worse, part of his most recent video titled Apology for Falling Off is also a stone from the YouTube channel Freya. I want to apologise. For absolutely not giving a f**k. That I am very sorry and I apologize for the inconvenience of me not giving up. I'm not breaking character, Master Uguai seemingly shot himself in the foot. Because what could have been a career saving apology to the YouTube community devolved into a complete disaster. And to really drive home how much of a total train wreck this video was, let's go through some of Uguai's arguments justifying his brand of quote content. First, Oma talks about the Mr. Bombastic trend where he picks a random funny video of the internet and stitches a clip of his face with it. His explanation for this lore-effort content is that his audience lacks watching these videos.

But here's the problem with this argument. With his large following, Oma has the potential to create amazing content that would naturally attract views. He doesn't have to rely on cheap tactics to game the algorithm. Plus, him putting effort into his videos would also show how he respects his audience's time and intelligence. Sadly, if this was the extent of Uguai's problematic content, things would have cooled down much sooner. But this is where the story takes a dark turn. After addressing the Mr. Bombastic trend, Uguai tries to defend his racist jokes as just dark humor. It claims it's not actually racist because he loves exploring different cultures. Another point these people are criticizing me about is my racist jokes. Yes, I make dark humor jokes that I think is funny. I love to do it because I think they're funny. And since I'm getting a lot of views, a lot of people think they're funny as well. Hey, team YouTube, this is proof I'm not racist and I do not condone hate speech. Whilst making racist jokes doesn't inherently make you racist, it would give Uguai's haters enough ammunition to use against him and helps weigh the public opinion of people who don't know him to intently perceive him as a

negative figure. On the 7th of June 2024, Master Uguai does this. You might be thinking, what's wrong here is apologizing. But that would just show that you haven't been around YouTube for long, as it would be actually referencing Logan Paul's apology from back in 2018. And at the end of the video, he mocks his haters by saying the end word again. So let me get to the point. He makes an apology video, but instead of apologizing, he justifies his actions. Then he blames the audience, saying it's all their fault for watching his videos. Now 90% of these jokes, I don't say anything racist or anything really bad directly. I make you

think it. So am I the person with the problem or are you? The hypocrisy is mind numbing. One can easily argue that Master Uguai has creative control and authority over his content. If he choose to create more genuine respectful content, his views would likely watch and support that. But to be fair, some of his arguments do hold up. Like when he talks about being unfairly criticized for reacting to memes. It's true that many YouTubers do reaction videos, so we can't single out Omar for doing so. However, just as you think is beginning to address concerns logically, he deflects again and starts defending his repetitive and unoriginal content. What Uguai fails to understand is, views alone aren't an indication of originality.

The reason his videos get views is because he employs a strategy of creating short, clickbait videos designed to capture views attention quickly. This method works well, but it uses the same formats and relies on sensationalism rather than true creativity or new ideas. What's respectable is that it's self-aware and admits to being lazy and unoriginal. If that was about my Mr. Mumbassikren, I would slightly agree. Uguai would similarly use these short memes to promote his music using it as the background music of these videos. And just when he thinks things can't get any worse, he drops a bombshell that would trigger

the internet, and resulted in internet users saying he was justifying PDF file allegations. There are some accusations you need to address head-on with solid evidence, or accept your mistake, and keep your mouth shut. Instead, Mr. Uguai tries to explain that his jokes are a form of dachuma. If he is young and blind, you won't have to speak up from behind. Now, it's definitely a stretch to call him a PDF file because of these jokes. Otherwise, comedians like Jimmy Carr would have been the first on the chopping block, but the difference here is the intended audience. Uguai's content targets young people and teens, which would cause him to receive even more criticism from the internet, as seen with this comment to a YouTuber who would call that Mr. Uguai for making alleged inappropriate comments with his audience. And I think a 23-year-old man at this current time, his 25 now, shouldn't exactly be making these peeps jokes with literal whiners. Even a comment section was highlighting how disturbing it was, because there was even a young teenage girl sitting right next to him participating in this crude joke.

So, despite this knowledge, he made a tweet in September 2021, promising to give away feelings to his followers, with a tweet reading, giving away Uguai my Twitter followers, make sure to be followed to win. I shall also follow the winners on Instagram. Good luck my students. He did the same in his YouTube shorts. A creator selling f**ks to his fanbase fill of children is strange to say the least, and these comments show why. Master Uguai, I've gone down the wrong path as an 11-year-old, and I'm telling my mom to buy this for me. Whilst the majority of the Master Uguai hate came from people not understanding his jokes or taking them literally, a lot of the criticism Master Uguai has been receiving is genuine, constructive, and consistently backed by evidence. And videos that Master Uguai claims were made in Ragebait against him actually give him advice on how to turn his channel around. Take for instance, royalty is his video about the downfall of Master Uguai. Towards the end of the video, royalty talks about what Oma might be trying to do with his content, by stating, I think he's trying to do what Filthy Frank did, which is the method of loading music with the

most outrageous lyrics, but it kind of slaps. He compares Uguai to Filthy Frank, who is now an acclaimed artist. Interestingly, royalty also points out that Oma's music, apart from the problematic songs, shows real potential, for example, his music video Mona Lisa. So, branching out into other professions is just one of the many possible parts Oma can take. Even Oma himself praised the video in the comments, stating, Logic great video, most critic videos tell lies and mix it with truth since they haven't really watched my videos and are just joining the hate hype train, but your video is 100% accurate Respect. Whilst it really seems like Master Uguai could turn things around and have a fruitful career on YouTube, things would take a sudden turn for the worse. When on the 20th of June 2024, Master Uguai would have his YouTube channel terminated. Following the news of his termination, there were two main responses from the internet. One side was celebrating his censorship and comparing

him to a literal nut. The other side would feel empathy for him, losing his main source of income. Whilst Master Uguai would attempt to return several times, every new channel he would make would be quickly terminated. And with the racing controversies of Dr. Disrespect and Chris Tyson, Master Uguai would question why he was banned and they were left with platforms. But it's safe to say, I don't think this is the last of Uguai that we'll see. Comment below if you think Master Uguai's termination was justified or if it should still have a platform.
