The Satisfying Downfall of KSI | Internet Anarchist

0:00While KSize Online Korea has had its fair share of controversy, 2024 has become the year that he has completely ruined his reputation beyond repair. From being called out for involvement in Crypto schemes, yesterday he accidentally exposed the pump and dump crypto scams that he promoted. The staging had complete meltdown after a horrible song release. It's no wonder KSize Online presence has been on a steep downward trajectory, however that's only the tip of the iceberg, as KSize responds to the situation has only added fuel to the fire and turned anyone that was left against him.

1:04Hi, I'm the internet anarchist, I create weekly YouTube documentaries, and today we'll be examining the crumbling reputation of YouTube's greatest trash talker, KSI. Throughout his 15 years on YouTube, KSize dabbled in several different styles and strategies when it comes to content creation, from gameplay videos to comedy skits and even mainstream television. KSize eccentric personality and willingness to expand its horizons has allowed him to build a platform that boasts over 24 million subscribers. While KSize over the top online persona has brought him unparalleled success in the platform, it has also spawned considerable amounts of controversy, getting banned from Euro-Gamer, backlash for using gamer words in his videos, and cheated feuds with other creators and his brother Deji at just a few examples of KSize ego landing him in hot water. Even though KSize was able to walk away from these incidents with no lasting consequences for his career or fan base, his unchecked ego would continue to get the better of him. A good example of this was KSize responds to the first loss in his boxing career at the

2:05hands of Tommy Fury. Unable to accept defeat, KSize would make a long-winded response to the match and try to use every method imaginable to downplay Tommy's victory. Even going as far as taking jabs at Tommy's personal life. Even though the results of the match were rather divisive, KSize's reaction early

3:19served to make him look like more of a loser. A factor's viewers quickly pointed out, with comments at red, always being a KSize fan and wanted him to win. But after seeing the way he reacted to losing, I'm happy he lost. Now I'm older, I understand what Deji was saying about KSize being a egotistical. He's also a master manipulator to twist his fans' opinions, as well as, a wise man once said, being a sole loser is even worse than being a loser. Fortunately for him, it wouldn't be long before viewers forgot about KSize arrogant rambling and moved on to other things. However, it would soon become apparent that KSize hadn't learned from his mistake, as his overinflated eager and inability to handle criticism were about to wreak more havoc on his reputation in ways he could have never imagined. By the 15th of February 2024, an online investigator, Kofi Zilla, would put KSize under the microscope with a video titled, KSize accidentally exposes his crypto scams. He accidentally exposed the pump and dump crypto scams that he promoted. They've been hidden for two years, but only came out when KSize logged back into his

4:22old Twitter account, saying, does this still work? Now if you didn't know, this is KSize crypto account, where he used to talk about crypto coins he liked. But he messed up, because one investigator has been waiting for him to return to the scene of the crime. And that person is not me, it's Zack XBT, a crypto investigator on Twitter. Kofi Zilla went on to show how Zack confronted KSize's previous shady crypto deals and promotions. Now many people, including myself, hadn't seen anything from KSize to this point that seemed shady. But Zack had been waiting for this moment. He goes on, remember when KSize posted this, all of a sudden my X-CAD bag is looking juicy again. Hottle gang then proceeded to dump $850,000 worth of X-CAD over the following days from his wallet address. As well as sharing proof of KSize, selling tokens that he publicly claimed to hold. Zack also shared a picture as proof, series of transactions from KSize wallet.

5:22We're starting on March 27th when he sent that tweet. KSize started selling X-CAD. The same day he tweeted he was part of the Hottle gang, slang for someone who wouldn't sell this crypto coin, right? In fact, that wasn't the only time KSize has mentioned this holding stance publicly. He was like this, or why people genuinely thought KSize was just buying and holding, but he wasn't. To get some clarity on the situation, Kofi's ill-concited KSize about the pump and dump allegations, and he had this to say, Hottle gang, LMAO, sold some profit as well as my own money to put into Luna thinking I would profit more to buy back more X-CAD and took a major L. Still fully believe in X-CAD, the ability to earn from watching content, honestly you should talk to Redacted. He's very excited about this project. I never left crypto. I've just been watching it from the shadows. It's kind of hard to leave when you've invested so many years into it. He then shared a personal account screenshot showing that he does have some X-CAD still

6:25hell. It doesn't really change the core accusation of whether he pumped and dumped his fans. While there was some plausible deniability, if KSize was involved in early one crypto game, it becomes a lot more difficult to believe his story when he was involved in the same game twice. But then I got another message which changed everything from Zach. He said, I have one more KSize example with a different coin. Turns out on March 20th, 2021, KSize tweeted this, 2 NFT coins I'm very bullish on, super, and earn. Any other NFTs I should look at. Now normally when you're bullish on a coin, you buy that coin. But that's not what KSize did. He tweeted that 6 hours later, he sold $174,000 worth of earn token. And then 4 hours later sells another $174,000. Now if that isn't a textbook pump and dump, I don't know what is. When questioned about the second crypto pump and dump, but KSize replied with this statement,

7:28he says, I don't really remember the details of every transaction I made. These were coins I put my own money in, thinking they would do well. I would listen to what people said on Twitter and just follow stuff. I invested in Doge, etc. I didn't have malicious intent in trying to scam. I was new to crypto, so I was excited, putting money in random things, trying to chase the pumps, and ultimately lost heavily. I hope people didn't take advice or tweets as gold because looking back at my track record, I was effing dog shit. I wish I was an evil genius that would pump and dump at the right time because then at least people would say that I had some wit about me. Reality is, I was just sh**t at crypto. In addition to this, KSize claimed that the contradiction between his tweets and trading behavior was due to being trolled by the market. And I said as much, I said, I'm just trying to understand why you traded the opposite way that you were saying on Twitter. And KSize replied this, because I thought I was getting trolled. Honestly, every time I tweeted something the opposite would happen on the market, so I decided to tweet the opposite of what I was actually doing and still took an L.

8:28And he thought the market was against him, so he publicly said one thing while privately, secretly doing the opposite. Which is kind of the definition of a pump and dump when you promote that to a big audience. The holes in KSize story would only continue to get larger as that revealed yet another obvious example of dishonest activity. Me, while though, while I was confronting KSI, I heard a final response from Zach, which he said, I found another example. See on May 11, 2021, KSI crypto tweeted, this is about to explode. Only moments later though, he sold $25,000. Didn't buy it. Which I get it. It's a relatively small amount, but it furthers that same pattern of behavior. Not long after these allegations were made to public, another member of the crypto community and fan of KSI, by the name of Vipho, published a 38-page document defending him, as well as offering counters to the tweets that presented. The main argument of the document was that KSI wasn't a serious trader and had lost money

9:30on several occasions. Reading, KSI had no reason to pump and dump the coins, and KSI did not pump and dump any coin. But the false allegations and half truths were shared in such a way to make it look like KSI has scammed his fans. But in actuality, he did not scam any of his fans, but has himself lost a lot of money in his trades. Even though it wasn't clear if KSI had traded maliciously or not, coffee zilla would later put forward the notion that influencers should be held accountable when promoting a financial product. That like if a public influencer with a lot of followers promotes something and they say they're bullish, they say they're excited, they say they're huddle gang, and they sell that's a pump and dump. To illustrate his point, coffee zilla would share more messages of him telling KSI how much of an impact he had on the market. I shared with him the volume calculation I had done, based on an aggregate of a bunch of different crypto exchanges showing that X-cads volume went up. Because one thing he told me, he's like, look, I hope people didn't actually take my tweets.

10:30And I said, this X is X-cat trading volume. The red arrows are right off you tweeted people dumped in money. Trading volume spiked by millions of dollars multiple times. Whether or not you realize that you have insane influence more than most celebrities. Something like this is bad, what they're or not. You have ill intentions. Despite coffee zills attempt to present the situation in good faith, KSI would respond on stream by trying to frame him as a cloud chaser. Well, honestly, it's kind of mad how coffee zilla has made not one, not two, three videos on me. And I haven't even responded yet. In addition to this, KSI argued that he was too rich to participate in crypto schemes or scam anyone.

11:34Instead of properly addressing the allegations, KSI was trying to discredit his critics. And as viewers wouldn't hesitate to call him out on it. With comments reading, I still don't understand why JJ would sell hours after tweeting to buy the crypto. This response addressed none of coffee zillers points. Also, JJ is not going to sue anyone. That's the most empty threat I've ever seen. As well as, mate, you've been hanging with Logan Paul too much. You literally tweeted about the crypto, but 15 minutes later dumped. You do realize that is the definition of a pump and dump. Sadly, this wouldn't be the only instance of KSI's association with Logan, sowing his relationship with his own fans. In the coming months, the two creators are about to collaborate on a product that only served to turn fans against them. By the 16th of September 2024, KSI, Logan Paul and Mr. Beast would launch a children's food product named Lunchley. They marketed the product as a healthy alternative to the already established Lunchables. With Lunchley, you get double the amount of liquid. The product has no sugar added, more electrolytes and more B vitamins.

12:35Crunch bar. Fistables crunch. Yeah! Our pizza uses real cheese. There, as it says on their box, is mozzarella pasteurized prepared cheese product. They can't even call it real cheese. As you'd imagine, people were skeptical of the product because of Mr. Beast's involvement and other blatantly unhealthy items included in the meal, festivals and prime. However, that wouldn't be the only source of hate for their new product. As popular YouTube creator, Dan TDM, pointed out something everyone knew but hadn't said with a tweet that read, What happened to YouTubers, man? I can't not say anything anymore. This is just selling stuff for the sake of making money. Simple. But how does it benefit their fans? This is selling crap to kids who don't know better than to trust the people who are selling it to them. Do better. The tweet would go viral and spark a massive wave of criticism directed at both Lunchley and the creators behind it. From the concerns about the impact on children's health, to the disapproval of the influences misleading marketing techniques, people held nothing back in their criticism of Lunchley. By the 22nd of September, 2024, K-Sci could no longer bear the hit to his ego over the

13:38hate for Lunchley and defended the product in a video titled, Everybody HATES US RIGHT NOW. This is what I said. Looks like crap to me while showing his toys that he sold to kids. How does this benefit your fans, Dan? I always see people didn't realise I was shining a mirror in his face. Instead they were like, uh, wait, you did the same as Dan. You made toys with two heroes? And yes, that's fair. But I'm not the one to blame. K-Sci would then go on a rant about how Dan TDM had sold food products to children before, and that what he was doing was no different, as well as cherry-peeking negative responses from viewers and claiming though representative of Dan's entire audience. Once it then promoted, I made a whole video on Munchpack, a monthly sub box for the food and candy to his Minecraft audience for the kids. His fans imploded it. Some just decided just to be racist.

14:41When a nigger like K-Sci does nothing in life and still gets paid for it in something other than welfare of food stamps, it's noteworthy. It's like how monkeys in the jungle have started to understand the concept of tool. What K-Sci didn't seem to understand was that he was presenting lunchley as a healthy alternative for children while only promoting the food product based on taste and satisfaction. Unfortunately, K-Sci already set his mind on the idea that the backlash was simply due to people hating on him, Logan and Mr. Beast. Where was the same energy when Ryan Trayhon really sweet? Where was the same energy when Facebook really sweet? I'm not seeing people going crazy towards them on Twitter. You know why? I've realized why. It's because people just hate us. People just hate us. People hate Logan Paul. Okay, they hate Mr. Beast and they hate me. Naturally, viewers didn't support that idea and decided to show K-Sci what true hate

15:43looks like. The video would receive over 200,000 dislikes and the comment section was filled to the brim with people trolling K-Sci. Him fake laughing every 10 seconds just makes him look desperate. K-Sci's ego has grown so much to the point where he actually believes that he hasn't done anything wrong, as well as Rose Ego is bigger than his forehead. Around a day later, a health professional named Dr. Mike would give his expert opinion on the matter and point out several nutritional concerns that were being overlooked. What I was able to conclude is that lunchley has less sugar and therefore less calories than lunchables in comparable kits that's probably due to the drink component of the kit as Caprice Sun uses sugar and Prime is artificially sweetened. Lunchley has significantly more potassium than lunchables because of the Prime drink, which I guess is good, but not something I'd regularly use in deciding if a food is an ideal lunch for a kit. But the entirety of the kit is still considered an ultra-processed meal. On the subject of lunchley, Dr. Mike would have this to say, kids need energy to function and calories give them that energy.

16:44Lunchley Turkey contains only 230 calories, which would mean a kid would need to eat about 2.7 portions to consume enough calories. And if they did that, they'd get nearly 1,300 milligrams of sodium, which is also significantly over the USDA standards. It's clear, lunchley, just like lunchables, misses the mark too many times to be considered meaningfully healthier, at least in my opinion. Being the dubious health claims of lunchley get debunked wasn't the only thing KSI had to worry about, as his next project was about to face even more hate and criticism. Around the end of September, KSI began promoting his new single, Think of It, with some strange marketing tactics, with a tweet rating, a lot has happened these past few days online. So here I am addressing everything below. Due to the misleading nature of the tweet, it was immediately hit with a community note. That read, not only is the link 100% misleading, which breaks ex-guide lines, it's also a marketing tactic by WMG, who created the site, that's using anger surrounding his controversies to promote his new single. This same tactic was also used recently for the song, but with Jake Paul.

17:47Unfortunately for KSI, no amount of marketing was enough to prevent the overwhelmingly negative response to the song, as the YouTube release received over 1 million dislikes. To add insult to injury, one of the comments under the video would receive more likes in the actual song itself, something that KSI couldn't stand. If the whole thing was different, it would be better, right? Fantastic. This was literally my top comment. If anything, it's actually my, the most like comment on the fucking music video. It's got more likes than my actual music video. A comment! 202,000 likes on this comment. Why aren't you liking the video? KSI's other single low would endure a similar treatment, with over 30,000 dislikes. The trolling and hate didn't stop there, as TikTok and YouTube were flooded with videos making fun of the song's lyrics and presentation. During Aiden Ross's stream, KSI would have a knee-jerk reaction when questioned about

18:54the audience's reception of the song. I just wanted to stop. I want people to stop making fun of my song. I understand them. I'm fucking understand because you haven't released some music before. Imagine putting your heart and soul into a project and then releasing to what everyone's going, ha ha, aah! Aah! Trash! I'm just screaming to the ring to the pain to the king. I'm literally talking about every aspect in my life. Currently, KSI is still getting hated over the hate towards the song, and it doesn't look like that would change anytime soon. With a tweet reading, generational haters everywhere. I'm so tired of it at this point, just leave me alone. KSI is the perfect example of a creator who's incapable of noticing or learning from their mistakes. He couldn't handle the backlash from saw losing up for his fight with Tommy Fury, nor could he properly respond to the allegation of being involved in several crypto-pump and dumps. Instead, KSI tried to protect his ego by hiding behind his insecure laughter and deflecting legitimate arguments.

19:55That kind of behaviour really goes unnoticed by the internet, and it was only a matter of time before KSI's other endeavors were all hit with the hate he'd been avoiding.
