Sorry Not Sorry: Chat GPT Cancelling Cancel Culture in the YouTube Space¶

Impact of Cancel Culture, YouTube, & ChatGPT¶

The rapid growth and international presence of the Internet to share stories, disseminate information, and express opinions has granted access for millions to seek refuge and validation in unique manners of content creation and communication. The Internet’s open access provides an indiscriminate availability to social media sites including Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok, Snapchat, Reddit, etc. With this availability has come the rapidly expanding movement of cancel culture in order to raise social awareness on the actions of mainstream influencers. According to the Social Science Journal, "The origins of cancel culture and cancelling can be traced back to Black Twitter and Black cultural practices of dissing and calling out others, practices that mix jokiness and entertainment with critique and political activism to educate others on the inappropriateness of certain statements and actions" (1). This has been most prevalently noticed in the YouTube space, with apology videos by content creators showing to be a whole genre of content creation. Apology videos often come following online controversy of a YouTuber exhibitng inappropriate online behavior. Many feel the need to call out these behaviors because of the influence YouTubers hold over young, impressionable audiences. How a YouTuber conducts themselves with their digital footprint and the response of controversy can be seen as a model for many viewers on how to handle personal conflicts and conduct themselves on the Internet.

Much of the ideals of cancel culture have become ingrained in the public relations practice. With the practice's responsibility of maintaining a favorable public image of a brand, company, or individual, the field has found itself having to adjust to the Internet's vast speed and volume of infromation flow and digitization. According to the Public Relations Review, "PR professionals and scholars must also consider the points of incongruence between traditional image repair strategies that use a mass media framework and social media's ability to function on an interpersonal level...This is an important distinction becasue research on effective interpersonal apologies differs significantly from image repair strategies recommended by PR scholars" (2).

With the rise of automating technology like Chat GPT, is it possible that the role of complex emotional expression can be quantified and solved through AI technology? The role of sentiment analysis makes this question quite probable and minimizes the importance of PR jobs if Chat GPT can simpoly draft a "heartfelt apology" that hits all the points of providing sincereness and forgiveness. According to an article by Insider, many jobs in the media industry are at risk of being affected by AI tools like Chat GPT. "Analyzing and interpreting vast amounts of language based data and information is a skill that you'd expect generative AI technologies to ramp up on...ChatGPT may be able to do tasks like reporting and writing more efficiently than humans" (3).

With this in mind, is it possible that Chat GPT can have the ability to rid a YouTuber of a controversial past and bring them back to pre-cancelled success better than PR managers? Specifically, does a list of sincere apology words that Chat GPT generates show up in YouTube apology videos? How often do they show up? Does a video that provides a higher count of "sincere apology words," indicate audience "forgiveness" as provided by the the general sentiment in the comment section and subsequent subscriber count? Answering these question is the main objective in mind for this project.

Summary of Problem¶

With YouTubers having such an impact on such young impressionable audiences, their apologies are formative for what many viewers will understand as a "good apology." With this in mind, knowing what viewers take away from watching an apology video and whether it was effective has an informative impact for millions in understanding how others conduct apologies in their personal relationships.

Summary of Solution¶

Using data gathered from Chat GPT, Social Blade, & YouTube API, the method of a Sentiment Analysis (of the comment section) and Random Forest Alogithm will help in supporting the goal of predicting the popularity increase or decrease of the subscriber count for the YouTuber following the apology video release.

Summary of Impact¶

If successful, this work may yield a classifier which predicts how an apology video may be received by viewers. It also can provide a better understanding of how certain words may yield an impact on our perception of genuine apologies.

    print(i['text'])
what is up no intro I can't do the intro
that just feels stupid do the [ __ ]
intro earlier today I was so proud of
drama Lert I was so proud people were
giving me [ __ ] on Twitter and I was just
I'm so proud of how successful my show
has been becoming but now as I sit here
in front of you I don't feel proud at
all I feel ashamed I feel like a like a
[ __ ] dirtbag like an [ __ ] like a
[ __ ] I feel horrible horrible is the
best word for it I feel horrible I take
pride in this show I I work hard on this
show I have people that work with me on
this show and earlier today someone on
my news team provided me with a story
that I thought was vetted that I thought
was correct and it wasn't it was wrong
and this isn't a little [ __ ] up this is
a big [ __ ] up this is a serious big [ __ ]
up to the point where I just feel
ashamed I feel ashamed I can't believe
that we would [ __ ] up like this we
reported a story that this Massachusetts
man John Phillips had sex with a teen
that he married an online game in
runescape back in 2011 okay and then he
got out of jail and that he's streaming
on twitch again now the problem with
this is that that's not John
that's a gentleman named Tony and when
we reported this video a bunch of you
went over and harassed this guy called
him names
pedo sex offender you name it this guy
didn't [ __ ] do anything he didn't do
anything wrong and because of me he was
harassed for about two hours
I was streaming at the time
on my own livestream and someone came in
and said you know you got it wrong you
got the story wrong and I thought they
were [ __ ] with me I thought they were
[ __ ] with me I didn't at first I like
blew it off and then after about 10
minutes I went into the Skype chat when
my news team went through questioned the
guy that get me the news and asked him
how did you vet this how did you confirm
any of this and he said him and another
person on my news team sat there for
hours looking at the faces and
identified who was who and that it was
the right guy and I just I [ __ ] lost
it my heart sunk into my stomach the
minute he gave me this explanation that
they matched the faces I realized that
we just so [ __ ] up and I just I
[ __ ] died right there on my live
stream like I immediately took down the
video and I immediately uploaded a video
to Twitter telling everyone that we got
this story wrong and that we've taken
the video and that the guy that works
for me is no longer working for me and
any damages that we've caused this guy
Tony that we are going to take care of I
feel horrible I mean I know the
responsible thing to do was to do what
we did right I know the responsible
thing is to acknowledge that we got this
wrong take down the [ __ ] video and
try to take care of the guy and fix this
financially or any way that he wants to
make sure that we somehow fix our
wrongdoings and I feel like we've done
that because prior to any video being
made about the situation prior to anyone
talking about this situation we came out
first and acknowledged that we were
wrong I think you know we came out six
hours ago as I'm making this and the
videos that were made about me and how
we [ __ ] this up are like three hours
so we came out a full three hours before
anyone made a video talking about this
saying that we got it wrong that we're
going to
responsibilities that we've taken down
the video that we removed that guy off
and I'm not telling you this to somehow
defend me or make me look better in any
way but I just want to point out that if
you think that we don't take this
serious you're wrong we take this very
serious I I feel [ __ ] horrible I
pride myself on getting you the facts
like I pride myself on getting this
right and not only did I fail you but I
failed this stranger that I don't even
know that sent a bunch of hate his way
like it just this innocent guy that had
nothing to do with anything and I just I
want to fix it I want to apologize I
want to talk to this guy Tony and see if
there's anything I can do I want to I
don't ever want to [ __ ] up like this
again I don't ever want to fail you like
this again I'm sorry I'm sorry we got
this wrong I pride myself on being right
and I was not right this time and Tony
if you're watching we're gonna make this
right with you
no matter what we have to do

# Jaclyn Hill Transcript Apology

jhill = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript("x8QeSZpr0bs")

for i in jhill:
    print(i['text'])
hey guys welcome back to my channel for
today's video I don't even need to give
you an intro you know why we are here I
want to address some of the issues that
my customers are having with my first
launch of my brand jackin cosmetics and
my lipsticks first and foremost I would
let you guys know the basis I'm going to
be covering throughout this video I want
to talk about the melting issue I want
to talk about the white fuzzies I want
to talk about the black holes and I want
to talk about the grittiness and the
texture that you guys are experiencing
and give you informed details of what
all of these issues are what is causing
them and how they are going to be fixed
I just want to put that out there before
we've been jumping in to the actual
video so that you guys know that I'm not
gonna run away from this and I know it's
taken me a couple days to get all my
ducks in a row and get this video out
for you guys but I've been going through
all the documentation and on the phone
with labs and chemists and the owner of
my lab and my entire team for several
days and doing a very in-depth
investigation to figure out exactly
what's going on so I can give you the
most informed information as a brand
owner the first thing that I want to
address before anything else is the
accusations that my lipsticks are
expired moldy or hazardous in any way
shape or form I'm gonna put up documents
throughout this entire video so you guys
can see the actual proof because I'm not
gonna sit here and like read papers to
you guys I'm gonna put it right through
the screen so you can see proof so
number one let's start with the expired
accusation my lipsticks did not go into
mass production until the same month
that I actually launched my brand it was
only a couple weeks before a couple
weeks prior to my launch that we started
actual mass production although I had
been so in depth with my formulation my
colors and approving all of that mass
production did not go in to production
until right before my Lodge because we
wanted them to be fresh we don't the
mists own shelves and because my brand
has been pushed back so many times I
actually already went through the same
situation with a different lab several
years ago I went into mass production
ended up having an issue while in mass
production and then didn't launch my
brand and had to go to a whole new lab
because I didn't want those issues to
happen again so I cancelled them and
went somewhere else I try to cover my
tracks I've dug but they are not expired
I know you guys have seen photos of my
components all over my socials here and
there throughout the last couple of
years I've been working on my components
for 5 years straight to get it perfect
but just because I've been working on a
component you guys have seen that does
not mean
there's an actual lipstick inside of it
that I kept on a shelf and sold to you
guys just want to put that out there
and know my intentions and what's real
what's not and give you the facts second
of all my lipsticks are not moldy they
are not hazardous they are not
contaminated they're not unsafe for you
in any way shape or form every single
ingredient in my lipstick is new and it
is FDA approved and again I will give
you proof right here if you guys want to
look over these documents in-depth and
tear them apart you go right ahead and
see that they are not contaminated every
single ingredient is FDA approved and
they are not expired
I want to ease your minds with that
before even getting into all the
nitty-gritty stuff of this video so that
you're not sitting here thinking like oh
my gosh is it true that if I use this
lipstick that it's gonna it's gonna hurt
me in some way no that is not the case
and now you guys have seen that so let's
move forward all right so the first
thing I want to touch base on are the
little black dots or black holes that
you guys are seeing what these black
dots are are actually oxygen bubbles and
they are being lifted to the service
when my lipstick bullet is being cooled
off when it's going from a hot
temperature fresh out of the VAT and
it's gonna go into my actual component
and just be cooled down so that the
component cap can be put on top in that
process sometimes those oxygen bubbles
don't make it all the way through and
you'll see little itty bitty almost like
black like holes it's not actually like
black holes again it's not mold it is
oxygen and it is 100% safe it is not
gonna hurt you
but seeing those dots are not pretty and
they're not like you don't look at that
component you don't look at that
lipstick and things like oh yeah I want
to put this on my lips so if you're
experiencing that please contact help at
Jacqueline cosmetics comm show us a
photo of your product we will send you
not only a full refund but we will also
give you a brand new lipstick that does
not have any of those issues that you're
concerned about the second thing I want
to touch on is the texture and the
grittiness that you guys are seeing in
your lipsticks now although this is not
happening to everybody it's still
happening and basically what this is
caused from is the humongous vats it's
almost like I always want to use the
word beaker but it's not like a beaker
or smaller it's like these gigantic huge
vats there in labs like this gigantic
thing that holds all of your lipstick
and it like spins like this and mixes
everything up that VAT
is not breaking down all my raw
materials because we produce so many
lipsticks so quickly again all the
products in these vats are 100% FDA
approved ingredients and totally good
and safe for you to use but they're not
being broken down small enough and
smoothly enough which I take full
responsibility for we made a lot of
product in a very short amount of time
and although we all thought that it was
gonna be perfect and fresh that's not
the case we move too quickly and because
of that the ingredients are not broken
down I will say this you're still gonna
get the same effect on your lips they're
still gonna give you a nice creamy
formulation it's still gonna look
beautiful once it's applied but it's not
pretty to look at and when you apply it
sometimes you can feel like a little bit
of that texture that greediness and that
is so not okay and I want to make that
right for you and again I'm gonna
reiterate it over and over and over to
contact help at Jacqueline cosmetics
comm of course I will put that email in
the video I'll put it down below
contact them all you need to do is show
them any proof a video a photo whatever
is and we will take care of everything
for you and make it right I know a lot
of people are like yeah what if people
are lying I don't even care like I want
to make this right for my customers this
is my first launch and it's very
embarrassing I'm not gonna make it about
myself in any way and tell you how I
feel about this but it's embarrassing
for me to not see you guys fully happy
and I am so so sorry that any of you are
experiencing anything less than absolute
perfection from my first launch and I
will do whatever it takes to make it up
for you I will send you a brand new
lipstick I will pay for it myself
I'll give you a full refund I don't care
I want you guys to experience the
products that I approved the I love and
what I want to create for my brand going
forward next let's talk about the white
fuzzies this is the thing that gets me
going so when I first heard the
definition and the reason for these
white fuzzies on some of these lipsticks
i 100% did not believe it I got very
upset and I was like why are you lying
to me why you trying to treat me like
I'm an idiot this is ridiculous like I
need a better explanation but after
thorough investigation we know what the
actual issue is and I know that a lot of
you guys don't have a hard time
believing this because I did as well
this is the truth because my lipstick
component is a silver shiny almost metal
like material MyLab instead of using a
standard glob that they would use in the
lab they decided to use white cotton
gloves they're like fluffy
white gloves because they didn't want
the standard gloves to put any smears on
this component to in any way have any
sort of prints on it
so they want to do a white fluffy glove
first when I heard this I thought but
wait how are a couple people wearing
white fluffy gob gloves gonna put this
many fluffy white little fuzzies all
over my products that doesn't make sense
right
well then once I started seeing videos I
started seeing proof and then my team
actually did our own investigation it
actually made a lot more sense in my
mind and I'll tell you guys exactly what
that is we have several people up to 20
people working on my lipsticks on the
line every single day as they're being
produced and every single of those
people are wearing white gloves when I
tell you guys how many times a day they
have to change gloves and put on new
ones it's crazy
every time I need to take a call they
have to step off the floor off the line
out of the production area they just
take off their gloves and they have to
get brand new ones when they walk back
in they have to take off their hair nuts
they take off their beer nuts
they'd replace everything once they come
back in they don't get to walk out go to
the bathroom put on the same gloves and
come back in so when you think about 15
20 people working on a line all
replacing their gloves every 30 minutes
45 minutes hour hour and a half it's a
lot of brand new freshly white gloves
coming in to that region that is
spreading lint all over the product not
acceptable at all and the second we saw
this we changed to different gloves that
will not be giving this issue whatsoever
on top of that they were cleaning my
vats which is the big humungous bucket
that has my batches inside of it they
were cleaning those and vats with like
this white fiber almost towel going
through it and that's been happening
about once a day they said two sometimes
twice a day depending how quickly we're
moving through batches so those two
things combined that is what you were
experiencing our little white cotton
fibers coming off of their gloves and it
is so beyond unacceptable and I'm so
sorry this happened to you guys and for
obvious reasons we will no longer be
making any more products with this lab
because that's just not what you guys
deserve so again contact me and my team
we will get you a full refund and a new
perfect bullet that does not look like
that but let me just say this it is not
harmful for you this is not in any way
harmful it's just little white cotton
fuzzies that come from a very sterile
environment still not okay but as much
you guys know that if it doesn't bother
you it doesn't bother you like I've had
several people contact me they're like
oh I don't care it's white
and often use it and I'm like that's
fine but still it's not perfect and it's
not what I want for my product so
contact Jacqueline Cosmetics and we will
figure it out and we'll make it right
last thing I want to talk about the
melting issue and even though you guys
are seeing a lot of stuff all of our
social media like when I log on to
social media I'm just like oh my god but
from the backend of my brand and
actually looking at emails the biggest
issue and the biggest complaint is
actually the melting issue it's actually
80% of our complaints is melting and I
know it's crazy right you would think
that like the grittiness and all that
other stuff but no all the other stuff
is only 20% which is insane because
social media is so loud and out there
and it looks like it's so aggressive and
so terrible but behind the scenes of
what I'm seeing I'm like alright please
contact me if you're having an issue
reach out like I want to fix it for you
you know like I want to prove myself to
you and I thought that I was gonna do
that when I first launched but I and I
made mistakes and for that I am so sorry
but please allow me to help make this
right for you anyways about the Melting
situation which is about 80% of
complaints like I said people are
receiving some lipsticks in the mail and
then they pull them out they twist them
up they swatch them they break they
break in the center is you twist them up
all the way they'll break at the face
which is pretty standard even if you
don't have a melted lipstick if you roll
all the way up and you swatch it chances
are if it's an emollient base lipstick
it's going to break at the base so make
sure that when you use your lip sticks
you do not roll up fully all the way
when you are using it just a side note
but what people are experiencing is it's
showing up in the mail and it's almost
having like a little sweat mark like a
little like circular sweat mark or like
little like sweat dots and then when you
swatch it the lips it kind of leans to
the side and then it's got like a little
little line on it because it's a very
creamy very emollient based product so
you really have to make sure that it's
fully cooled down before using it we did
an extensive tests on my lipsticks and
shipping from here to there and all this
jazz but because of the climate right
now we are shipping to some people who
are in such hot temperatures and such
high degree that my lipsticks they're
not surviving it fully my testing
actually came out to about 140 degrees
Fahrenheit which means that my specific
lipstick can withstand 140 degrees
before actually melting all the way
through which is a very high
temperature but once these lipsticks are
getting onto trucks that are you know a
hundred degrees on the inside these UPS
trucks and then they're sitting outside
of people's houses up their front doors
while they're at work and then they come
home and they pull it out yes they're
not fully melted all the way through and
just like a puddle inside but yeah they
might have a little sweat dots on them
when you swatch them they might kind of
lean to the side so please give your
lipsticks enough time to fully cool off
before you go in and apply it we are
working on a solution for that for you
guys right now though so that again
you're not dealing with anything that's
gonna dis satisfy you like I just want
to make sure that you guys are happy
that's all it matters to me and if
there's anything I'm not covering in
this video that I haven't seen on social
media please again contact my team and I
and we will take care of you now that I
have been like spazzing going through
all of this because I'm just so eager to
get this video up I really just want to
take a moment to genuinely thank those
of you who have reached out to me
telling me what's going on and everyone
on Twitter and Instagram who are
genuinely sending me photos like asking
me and concerned I am very grateful for
your honesty I'm very grateful for you
coming forward and telling me what's
going on because I want to fix this and
I would never know if you guys didn't
keep me informed so I want to say thank
you very much to everybody who has come
forth because I did an interview about
my brand a couple months ago and that's
what I said in this interview I said
that my number one thing is I want my
subscribers to be honest with me I want
them to tell me genuinely what they feel
about my product so that I can I can
continue to take your information and
move forward with it and give you the
best products that you guys could
receive like that's very important to me
and I'm very sorry that this launch was
not absolutely 100 percent perfect with
a bow on it but we will make it right
for you and going forward we will no
longer be experiencing these experiences
that we are having and we are taking
drastic measures to change that and make
sure that everything is amazing for you
I actually have had to pull several
launches because I was doing them with
this lab that I had coming up and had to
change labs on several different
products so there's gonna be a slight
delay and some things later on but that
doesn't matter like I just want to make
sure that you guys are receiving the

her mistakes because it's exactly what
I'm going to do and I'm so sorry for

perfect I take full responsibility this

I've made a severe and continuous lapse
of my judgment and I don't expect to be
forgiven I'm simply here to apologize so
what we came across that day in the
woods was obviously unplanned and the
reactions you saw on tape were raw they
were unfiltered none of us knew how to
react or how to feel I should have never
posted the video I should have put the
cameras down and stopped recording what
we were going through there's a lot of
things I should have done differently
but I didn't and for that from the
bottom of my heart I am sorry I want to
apologize to the Internet I want to
apologize to anyone who's seen the video
I want to apologize to anyone who has
been affected or touched by mental
illness or depression or suicide but
most importantly I want to apologize to
the victim and his family for my fans
who are defending my actions
please don't they do not deserve to be
defended the goal with my content is
always to entertain to push the
boundaries to be all inclusive in the
world I live in I share almost
everything I do
the intent is never to be heartless
cruel or malicious like I said I've made
a huge mistake I don't expect to be
forgiven I'm just here to apologize I'm
ashamed of myself I'm disappointed in
myself and I promise to be better I will
be better thank you

Hello.
I, uh wanted to make a statement on what I said in my previous live-stream
You probably won't believe me when I say this,
but whenever I go online and I hear other players
use the same kind of language that I did,
I always find it extremely immature and stupid and
I hate how I now personally fed
into that part of gaming as well.
It was something that I said in
the heat of the moment.
I said the worst word I could possibly think of.
And it just sort of slipped out.
And I'm not gonna make any excuses as to why it did
Because there are no excuses for it.
I'm disappointed in myself because It seems like
I've learned nothing from all these past controversies.
And it's not that i think I can say or do
whatever I want and get away with it.
That's not it at all.
I'm just an idiot.
But that doesn't make what I said or how I said it okay
It was not okay.
I'm really sorry if I offended, hurt or
disappointed anyone with all of this.
Being in the position I am, I should know better.
I know I can't keep messing up like this.
And I owe it to my audience and
to myself to do better than this
because I know I'm better than this.
I really want to improve myself and better myself
Not just for me, but for anyone that looks up to me.
Or anyone that's influenced by me.
And that's how I want to move forward away from this.
That's all I had to say. Thank you for watching. Bye.

I'm telling you guys man I'm not playing
around 2019 I have not playing around I
posted yesterday I'm here again today
I'm gonna see you guys the bottles but
how is everybody doing whoever was doing
fine yesterday I was doing really good
man great vibes great energy and then
today bad not so much I woke up to this
man the front page of Twitter talked
about Jay Paul and race come under fire
for promoting gambling site to kids like
I don't want to be associated with this
guy and it just doesn't look good and
there's no way to start the year like
what do you need to clear this up
because I don't even think it's a big
deal so the other day I posted a video
where I was promoting this website
basically my management just kidding me
I was like yo rice here's this deal
about the half for whatever you get paid
right and I'll YouTube it's like a
common thing like when youtubers work
with brands and sponsored videos like
I've seen Shane Dawson just I've seen so
many youtubers do it keeps their
actually tweet his saying first big
start of 2019 Jake par ice tub gambling
blah blah blah but at the bottom he said
I was offered a haunted cave to do the
same thing and almost took the cash but
didn't so I can't go that hard on them
so apparently they only offered keep
star 100k so my numbers are higher so
imagine how much they offered me right
so the money was on the table and if I
wanted that money I just had to open up
a few supreme boxes and shoe boxes and
boom I get the mice all like yeah that
sounds easy enough
I dropped the video really think nothing
much of it and I just don't know where
all these random as youtubers I don't
know where come out drop and exposed
videos calling me and out for doing this
doing that about the whole gambling
thing is like even hdhd know guys I
actually filmed this video survey at the
time h3h3 was the most popping youtuber
to call me out but the things have
changed this morning
peer advisors up the video I'm I'm in
the title I'm in the thumb now this news
the biggest youtuber in the world man I
guess this is like a big deal this
popular youtuber made a video like kind
of roasting me I mean like mainly
roasting Jake but like he said some
things about me too but I just find it
so funny like I think it's hilarious
that like this you know daily thing is
the current you know topic of discussion
right now it's like a big deal but it's
just like there's his youtube name
reaction time he actually has more so
I don't know how because he's not closer
than me but anyways he'd be the same
type of view the same time it feels like
three months ago
don't let said anything it wasn't a
problem back then look look look all
these guys right here right there
diamond door it's true whatever they're
influential got kid fans same thing
opened up bosses this was three weeks
ago way before I was doing it why didn't
no one bring it up to three weeks still
we even talked about these guys this guy
board's same exact big literally same
thing four months ago
he's not even promoting gambling to kids
he is a kid yeah let's do 17 gambling
it's not a problem they're right don't
even get me started as last night robber
to start more subscribers than me wise
gonna talk about this guy and he makes
slime videos he make slime video do you
know what that means no one over the age
of 10 is watching slime videos I'm sorry
manly I'd be cursin to my fails so I got
some older kids younger kids this guy
got all kid fans promoted the ass little
months ago I'm gonna stay here and just
bring up everyone that did the same deal
as me I'm just trying to say this
mystery box thing has been on the
internet for like three to four months
from other creators but as soon as I do
it it's a problem actually some people
compare what I did to the csgo gambling
thing I'm just like what is not even
close I don't know if you guys heard
about that this year's dog everything
there was these two youtubers team art
and syndicate right or whatever and they
were like promoting this gambling at and
the Vale that were unboxing all these
crazy things that cost a lot of money
come to find out those two guys owned
like the gambling site like there were
owners of it which means they could
easily just went into the back end just
higher their chances of winning
so they got exposed that was like a
whole big thing because they're like
scam in their face I don't know this is
particularly breath I don't know what
they have going on like people keep
saying that the website is sketchy and
all this stuff is like you guys can form
your own opinions do your research of my
experience on it you know I would spend
$100 at times I got like a Finch's
spinner and then I would spend $1 at
half times I got like a good item it was
basically you win some you lose some and
that's like the
tradition of gambling like thinking back
was even worth doing this deal like all
this controversy was he even worth it
out oh man you know I do feel bad you
know I'm I kind of faked myself and
stuff but I do know I'm somewhat in the
wrong I think just h3 said it better
there's a reason you need to be 21 years
old to gamble because you need to know
what you're doing it's a dangerous it's
addicting it's a very it's a vice right
it's a it's a real advice many lives
have been ruined due to gambling
addiction quite literally gambling to an
eight to twelve year old especially on
you two we're just supposed to be a
reputable sighs strode it's true I'm an
[ __ ] like what was I thinking like I
can't lead ooh much cuz I already did it
the damage has been done guys already
saw a money-hungry side up and it is
what it is and there's nothing I can
really do but say sorry and give you
these Amazon gift cards so I'm sorry it
just wouldn't happen again Amazon cuz

giveaway it's the least I can do after
what you know this you know okay

# Tana Mongeau Transcript Apology

for i in tmong:
    print(i['text'])
Hi guys, it's Tana Mongeau. Welcome to my channel or welcome back to my channel.
Umm...that's weird. I have now been off of social media for over a month now, which is the longest break
I have taken in over 3 years and it's been crazy. It's been a crazy past month,
and when Shane uploaded his documentary, I feel like everyone thought that it was over and that I was just being silent.
You know? To be and asshole cause I didn't care or whatever. That I was just out partying or whatever.
Every single day since TanaCon, I have found out so much horrible shit. And when I say horrible shit, I mean
When I look at TanaCon, the things that I found out, they make TanaCon look like a lemonade stand. You know? A walk in a park.
I found out so many horrible things about so many horrible people. And I sat with so many people in this industry:
People my age, people with millions of followers, people who are managed by the same people that hurt me
and did me dirty, and found out and got to hear the stories about sexual assault and rape and being drugged and being embezzled tens-of- thousands of dollars
and being fucked over and lied to, ten times harder that I could ever be.
And I realized when I say this to you, that those are very, very  serious allegations and a very serious way to start out this video.
But they're all true, and because of everything that happened with TanaCon, I have spent the last 2 months
On what everyone things is a hiatus, but I have been finding out the horrible dark side of this industry.
And, I was originally going to make an entire documentary about it.
Not only about what happened at TanaCon, but what I found out about it, along with proof and along with interviews
interviews from all of those people and
stories and footage from so many of your
favorite influencers who have been done so dirty
And I just couldn't talk about it. And, I ended up tweeting about it. And Shane and I
Were at dinner with everyone. You know, all of his friends and
People from TanaCon and all that kind of stuff.
And we were looking at the responses. And everyone
Was just like 'it's not the time
for a documentary'. And a
lot of people were also telling me that
if I come onto this video
talking about TanaCon and
then I'm like 'oh, by the way here are all these horrible
things that everyone else has done'.
It's going to look I'm pandering, and I'm distracting
people from what I'm really talking about.
And, it's just not the right time and it's so hard for me.
And that's why it's taken me so long to figure out what I want this video to be.
because as soon as i spent an entire two months making a whole ass film
Shane and I saw that that's, and talked about that that's
not what people want. and i'm not gonna put it out in a time that
i don't feel it's right because it's such heavy shit.
and everything that has happened has been the worst experience of my entire life
but i do believe that everything happens for a reason and i was put in those situations
to eventually be the voice for and help those people who have gone through all of those horrible, unspeakable things
and if everything that happened with TanaCon
never happened i would have never been put in those situations
and i would have never met those people
and i would have never realized how important it is, truly, for me to use
this space, this camera, this what i started with to spread a message and actually talk about what matters
and that is what i will be dedicating my time to in the future, so yeah i haven't
just been fucking off and not posting anything and i know so many people are going to comment saying that this is so late
and why even do it and Shane already covered it and whatever. the bottom line is, is
everyone else has gotten to speak for me and i've yet to be able to tell this story from start to finish
from my perspective. I didn't feel comfortable doing it or uploading it or making that even my main focus
until all refunds were issued, and so now i can sit here today the morning of this video being uploaded
letting you know that almost every single i'm talking like 99% of TanaCon refunds have been issued
and i, am so greatful for that. and i know a lot of people don't want to sit through a forty minute video
of me repeating myself of some cool ass montages over it and some never before seen footage
and a Shane interview and all that kind of stuff, some people just want answers.
and before getting into the video, to sum it all up, to give the people who don't want to sit through
everything the fluff, i'm an idiot and i trusted a twenty year old idiot
who allusioned to me it would be the best TanaCon in the world
and to everyone saying that i didn't work, i've spent every single day
i've become living breathing robot TanaCon
but it just wasn't enough time
and where i went wrong was going into this with spite and going into this with ego and doing it in two months
i should have done it with people that i trusted and people that weren't hated in the industry and people
who weren't lying to me. i shouldn't have believed the lies with rose colored glasses because
i wanted the fantasy to become a reality and i shouldn't have done with any ounce of spite towards
VidCon no matter how much they wronged me, and i put my fans at stake, i put my reputation at stake
i put my life and everything that i love more than anything in the world at stake, because i believed in it
but to be frank that wasn't enough. to everyone that believed in me whether you came and you got a sunburn and you waited
in line for hours and hours and hours or you
are simply watching along this journey and you believed in me an i let you down and i'm sorry and i will spend the
rest of my life trying to make it better to everyone asking me about capacity and security because
i feel like those are the number one questions and i wanna answer then before you even watch this video
five thousand tickets were sold or given away for TanaCon
I was told that four thousand of those tickets will be free
and 1000 of them will be sold to
cover costs of the event and clearly by
any footage if you've seen anything that
is not what happened and that's what
this video is about is uncovering all of
the lives I was told that was by far one
of the biggest which I think fucked over
the entire event there's been a lot of
verbiage about the capacity of Tanacon
only being able to support 1,000 and
that is not true the actual capacity
which included far more than the
ballroom was 3192 so that still means that the
event was oversold and I was wrong for
ever ever condoning that but I was under
the impression by the company that put
on the event good times in Michael that
people would be shuffling in and out and
going through hallways and using
different rooms and spaces in the event
center and that everything would be safe
and fine for that amount of people and
for everyone saying that I didn't
research that or do anything about that
I spoke to the security team
tens of tens of tens of times I looked
at the background checks I spoke to the
Marriott employees I asked every
question that you have asked ten
thousand times over and I was just as
dumbfounded as you were the day of
tanacon to see what actually happened
I was told that even if all five
thousand people did show up it would be
a tight fit but it would still fit and I
toured the venue but I was 19 and didn't
know shit about that side of things you
know if someone who runs conventions
tells you
yo this space fits 5,000 people and you
ask a thousand questions and they answer
them all with seemingly good enough
answers if you think it's gonna be fine
and it just wasn't and I get into all of
the details of all of that in this video
but so many people have questions that I
wanted to answer that straight away I
didn't want anyone to have to sit
through anything they didn't want to and
for everyone asking about flights and
what I'm doing for all of those kind of
people we are working on every possible
solution every single day another reason
I've been gone because that is so much
more important than making a video I'm
still as we speak figuring out ways to
reimburse people who traveled and
working on sending free merch to every
single person because I want to go out
of my way to apologize but like those
girls sent in Shane's video there's
always gonna be people I can't
accommodate there's no way to reimburse
every flight if there's going to be
people that are angry for the time they
spent and rightfully so but I have to
acknowledge all of that and straight up
own up to it and apologize for hurting
or upsetting anyone and do my best to
make it better because that's all I can
do and in this video I talked a lot
about what was said before tanacon to
and how it actually came into play and I
things actually happened and the
differences between the two and how
angry and frustrated I was keep in mind
I film this monologue like a month ago
but at the end of the day I just want to
clarify before you even watch this video
that I am NOT placing blame on anyone
other than myself I take full blame in
this situation as of right now even
though people are refunded I am a lone
wolf and I have to make everything
better by myself because when shit goes
bad people run even though I'm talking
about a lot of other people in ways I
was illusioned and horrible people
really and the horrible things that
they've done and whatever it may be
I still take full blame and if you're
watching this for one second please
don't think that there is any part of me
that thinks that I can get away with
naming anyone else because at the end of
the day I put my name on the event and I
fucked up so I want to tell you if
you're watching this if in any way let
you down
I'm sorry and I say this at the end of
the video and I've said it a lot but
just know that I let me down a hundred a
thousand times harder even this morning
doing the final edits watching the end
clips of me and Shane and all this kind
of stuff was making me so emotional
laying there editing it and I've come to
realize that it's probably something I
won't ever be angry about or upset about
or have massive regrets but I'm back I'm
admitting I've fucked up and I'm ready
to continue documenting this journey and
I'm grateful for anyone who wants to
join me and I'm grateful for Shane
because I wouldn't be here and I
wouldn't be making this video and I
wouldn't have had the balls to ever say
anything like I did if it wasn't for him
and his abilities who want to uncover
the truth and to make art or something
that makes people feel out of pain and
misfortune is so inspiring to me and it
always has been
yeah I love you Shane Dawson but yeah
I'm gonna shut up now I wanted to give
everyone those answers I wanted to tell
you how I'm feeling as the morning of
this video and I wanted to tell you
I love you now it's time for past me to
walk you through Tanacon in my shoes
along with the random video of me
ashamed but makes no sense in this but I
just wanted you to enjoy it so I'm gonna
shut the fuck up now enjoy this or don't
I understand either way bye but also hi again
I've never been so nervous for anything
in my entire life like for the first
time I'm sitting down in front of a
camera and I don't know what the fuck to
say I've been gone off of social media
pretty much for the past two weeks and
in the last three and a half years it is
the longest break I've taken there's a
hundred million thoughts in my brain but
at the same time this numb empty loss of
words and I think it's time that I stop
running from everything and tell you
guys my side of the story I guess
Tanacon is going to be insane. I want it to be a thing so bad. I've thought like a year ago I remember
watching ksi talk about having a
convention and I was like there's no way
I will ever be in a position to have my
own convention or in a position where
people would want to come to like my
convention and to be sitting here a year
later and that coming to fruition it's
so mind-blowing to me but yeah I really
want to do something free I really want
to do something with all of the new fun
creators that everyone is super excited
to meet and doesn't always get the
opportunity to me and I definitely want
to do it around that same time I just
yeah I would definitely want Tanacon
to be a fun free cool experience
vidcon's version of fire festival
happened it's Tanacon.
[female voice]: "Tanacon was canceled"
[Pewdiepie]: "she was gonna create
her own called Tanacon"
[Emma Chamberlain]:" Tanacon"
"Tanacon! Yeah, Con is a good word for it" "things quickly descended into caos"
"She created her own event called Tanacon"
Tanacon, Tanacon, Tanacon, Tanacon, Tanacon
Stay tuned to see what happens to Tanacon
it's day one of Tanacon
Tanacon's already way better
Tanacon f*cked this over and they sold too many tickets
also I wanted to talk about Tanacon
it was
supposed to be one of the biggest
YouTube conventions Tanacon actually
ended up being a huge disaster
Tanacon is canceled for those of you who care
"Tanacon." "A thing
called Tanacon" "Was supposed to be a giant
middle finger to VidCon turned out to be
a giant middle finger to her fanbase
Tanacon was a major blast
"Refund! Refund! Refund!"
[Tana]: "wrong or bad or whatever think
that's about it it's me it's on my
fucking face,you know" "Yeah, your name is the conference" "Literally
I've been putting my heart and soul into making it as perfect as it can"
[Pewds]: "and oh boy, it was perfect"
a few weeks ago Tanacon was something
I was excited about it was a dream of
mine that was finally coming true
or so it felt like it was a dream
originated in spite. [Shane]:"when I saw the paper
that good times was sending out that was
like "fuck vidcon". [Tana]: "FUCK VIDCON, FUCK ANYONE WHO CREATED VIDCON"
[Shane]: "Literally..." [Tana]: "I didn't do that if it makes it better. But it doesn't. It's stupid and spiteful
it was so stupid"
I think all of the rebels and all of the unwanted people should host a little
meet-and-greet in Anaheim California on
the same days as VidCon
but it was something I was so fucking proud of and
I wanted you to be proud of it too
for the first time in my entire life
career it felt like the whole world was
on my side
hey I'm gonna back your ass
up tell everybody the VidCon is the
biggest piece of s*it
that anybody could go to
it was finally going my way and now fast
forward to today I don't even know where
to be in honestly. I'm sitting at my
computer looking at videos with people
with sunburns, crying, paramedics. I'm
reading the stories and DMing you guys
talking to people who came from
Australia and Singapore and China and
the UK and New York and travelled just to be turned away and sadly it's
horrible it's so fucking horrible. I'm disgusted I
want to walk you through it all good the
bad the ugly I want to apologize to
everyone I've wronged and so now I want
to explain all of my failures to you I
could have been so much better how I
will be better I want to spend all so
let's do that with his little drum cuts
as possible but I can't stop
pausing and breathing
I'm fucking terrified it all started
with fight
so much fun to miss right I was angry I
was hurt I was spiteful vidcon I was
banned or kicked out or however you want
to say it I felt left out I was saying
all my friends feature and I was
embarrassed I felt like I should have
been
I felt like everyone's I should have
been a part of it and I know that sounds
egotistical to say it was something I
looked up to in this industry the
biggest convention of this industry for
years and I wanted to be a part of it so
badly that we didn't we didn't everybody
that I thought I was doing everything
right in my power and it still wasn't
good enough and I was fucking angry
livid to find out for the third year it
wasn't gonna happen and so I made a
video about it and that's where
everything should have stopped after
that video it started to snowball and
spiral out of control
I uploaded that video thinking that that
would be it oh one hour and 19 minutes
of me repeating myself over and fucking
over again but then the response was
fucking crazy I've never done anything
and had a response like that it felt
like the whole world was talking about
me and I felt that before but not not in
a good way like this someone like me
that a lot of people don't like doesn't
always get to feel like the whole world
is on their side after uploading that
video see you every single DeFranco run
so this year she decided to take a huge
swing and launched Anika and it's not
that she just launched her own event
that makes this stand out it starts
tomorrow at the same time VidCon is
happening it is not only in Anaheim like
VidCon it is it's taking place at the
Anaheim Marriott suites which is so
incredibly closed and reportedly there
are already 80 confirmed creators to
attend and she has a solid range in
addition to herself your Miranda sings
rickey dillion shane dawson casey
neistat bella thorne and so i am so
fascinated to see how this goes I'm a
big fan of alternative events anything
that leads to more competition maybe
it's a different Avenue so whether it's
something like a a smaller more niche
thing or a direct competitor I mean
VidCon this year is expected to have
30,000 people but I think more and more
you're gonna see things like a tonic on
pop up where people go wouldn't it be
more interesting if instead of all of
these people it could be one two four
thousand of a kind of more central
Schwartz
Dylan you name them talking about what I
had said in a positive light and all of
these creators coming forward telling me
they have the same things happened to
them or sharing their stories and not
only feeling like I I started all of
this and this movement but having all
these people on my side and having every
press talking about you so positively
feeling like for once I did something
right and that it was a good thing to
speak out and tell the truth the
response after posting that video was so
much better than I anticipated and after
releasing the VidCon video I didn't plan
on doing anything but everything kept
growing and growing and growing and they
started tweeting Hannah Montana content
on hate everywhere comments everywhere
whatever and I started to believe that
if I had the right personality that I
could actually pull it off which looking
back so button stupid like in two months
it's so stupid and as the concept of
Tana Khan became more real and it
started picking up steam I decided to
release March to kind of test the waters
and see if we were really fucked with it
I've never seen numbers like that I've
never seen that many people wanting to
wear a fucking neon orange hoodie that
says something dumb and spiteful that I
created and this was still all a part of
my spiteful joke but I was loving every
fucking second of it soon the idea of
creating an actual Tana Khan wasn't a
joke anymore I couldn't back down at
that point I had to do it every person
on the fucking platform was telling me
to do it the creator's wanted a cool
place for their voices to be heard and
the fans wanted something cheaper and
that's what sucks too is it's just like
now because it went so poorly obviously
all of that attention is flip-flopped
and the negative attention is insane but
it's also like without much attention
and people gassing you up and telling
you
can do it you start to believe it you
really start to believe it but the
problem was that it was two months away
and that's by far one of the biggest
ways I fucked up you don't plan a
convention in two months you don't put
that many people's lives at risk to do
something spiteful you don't do it the
same day as VidCon you don't do it down
the street I didn't have to be spiteful
like that and that's where I fucked up
and Jordan knew that yeah he wasn't
gonna do it
you really really wasn't I should have
fucking listened to him I was seeing how
much success this was all having and I
was on an ego trip and I was so excited
to make a change in the fucking industry
and I was so excited to finally feel
welcome somewhere I needed to find
someone else who would help me and then
Michael Wiese texted me and suddenly I
had a real way to make it happen or so I
thought good times
I'd been to a previous event with good
times and I think that if that had never
happened
Tanna Khan would have never happened a
few months prior I went to Chicago with
good times for
a small event that they were doing and
they flew me out and Michael was so good
to me you know black cars and paparazzi
and giant hotel suites and videographers
following me everywhere and anything I
wanted the best security everything it
was Mike he put on a show for me he made
me feel like a royalty he did everything
in his power to make me feel like
royalty and looking back now it was all
lights and a show and none of it was
real and I didn't know that yet and when
Michael texted me about SantaCon and all
I knew of them was this amazing
experience at Chicago where I was wined
and dined and it was so incredible and
whatever of course I was down if he
could make a small convention like that
go off so seamlessly he obviously knows
something about the industry he
obviously wouldn't do anything that he
couldn't do they think could be possible
this was the guy that was going to make
SantaCon a real thing and even though
every single person in my life who I
introduced him to or who knew him people
were coming out of the fucking woodwork
to tell me how much they didn't like him
and how I shouldn't work with him upon
meeting him for the first time I
remember hunter telling me he's so stuck
up he's so egotistical Bela got the
worst vibes and was begging me every day
to do tag on with her team and god I
should have fucking listened I remember
months before SantaCon right when
everything started happening I went to
James Charles's house and had a meeting
with him about SantaCon and I remember
James sitting there being like do not
fucking work with goodtime Santa you're
a fucking idiot if you do it and maybe
but I believed in him
but I believed I believed in him I
didn't care I wanted to prove everyone
wrong
I want to stray away from emotion in the
and pandering and all that fucking
bullshit but I've always been the type
of person where I never want to judge
someone based off of everyone else's
opinions because I'm always the girl
that everyone judges based off of what
everyone else has to say and I never
want to be that person so if anything
everyone fucking telling me not to make
me dig my heels in ten times deeper and
the combination of that and the way that
Michael is was a cocktail for disaster
but I didn't know again there was no
backing out now for me Tana cod was a
real thing we were a team and we were
gonna make it happen and there were so
many weird things and so many red flags
looking back but I was so blinded by the
idea of making my ultimate dream a
reality and not even just that but
getting back at VidCon showing the
industry that there is a repercussions
if the big dogs treat the little dogs
like shit then eventually one day
someone's gonna bite back and wanting to
create a place for creators to never be
treated the way I was you know and I let
all of that cloud the red flags and the
weird shit why was he filming himself
doing every single thing why were people
secretly recording me and I was catching
them why was all of this for a
documentary that I wasn't gonna make and
I wasn't gonna ever get any part of or
anything like that that I didn't even
know about until the first Hannah cotton
meeting he just showed up with cameras
and why is he saying everywhere why is
he dripped in Gucci and Chanel and all
that kind of stuff when everyone who
knows him says it's his parents money
but then he says its investors but where
are the investors and all the way
through your parents but they're not and
I thought you lived in a mansion oh wait
you live in your mom's guest house sir
why are you running around Anaheim after
tancana was canceled crying and I'd make
someone film you on a Segway there's so
many funds why are you going around
telling everyone that I fired Jordan and
you're my manager now and why are you
speaking down to every
but me why are you telling me that if
Tana con goes well you're gonna buy me a
Rolex where are you taking me and all my
friends to dinner after dinner and catch
a late hour uni and Essex and a Nobu and
all that bullshit you know why are you
bullshitting me so hard and that's
what's sad is I I knew in the back of my
mind if something was so fishy but I let
my fucking ego and spite drive me to
continue to make SantaCon I let the
dream of the fantasy of what it could be
drive me to continue to do it I let
everyone doubted me and telling me not
to work with him motivate me 10 times
harder to do it because I wanted to
prove them wrong I wanted to be the
little dog that one
Michel made it seem like it'd be the
easiest thing he'd ever done but he
could plant a nakorn in two weeks with
his eyes closed all I had to do was be
the face and the name and maybe invite
some creators and he would do everything
seamlessly because all he's ever done is
plan conventions but I wanted to be
hands-on and I wanted to work on it I
wanted to do everything too and that's
one thing that's infuriating seeing
Michael goron and say that Tana Khan
failed because I could have done more
how do you like this as dope as possible
for as cheap as possible
we'll have backdrop table chairs we
could put parking up lights to light the
walls around it a little cool oh man
this is also the main stage like this
door opens up at 2:00 at a certain day
is that other side of them can I see
that out if I can get it putz a big room
and so
we put the chairs in here we've mapped
it out three originally words 150 I
filled it up to 330 last night but
everyone checking here for their first
checkpoint
uh-huh that's like that way except I was
like oh yeah have a pass on the crater
so we can check their ID to make sure
they actually on the message so that you
can go to registration please ever get
back staying this must be like whatever
I have nothing beats me yeah I've asked
in love I was gonna have the audacity to
say that it was like that because I
could have done more but I told you
every item and I told you I'd reach out
to the companies but you told me no
that's not my job as the talent that all
I have to do is put my face on it and
you'll handle it but did you? No. But
it's still all my fault at the end of
the day I still attached my face and my
name to it and I promoted it and I was
down for it and I was ready because I
wanted to win and I wanted things to be
different as much as I want to paint the
picture to you guys that I believed in
Michael because I wanted to believe in
someone regardless of what everyone said
I still believed in someone that gave me
bad vibes I wanted to believe the
fantasy over the reality I let someone
Wine and Dine me and schmooze and lie to
me and tell me everything was gonna be
fucking flawless and he can do this
convention ten times over with his hands
tied behind his back while everyone is
fucking telling me that he was the worst
and I should have listened and I'm a
fucking idiot seeing Michael go around and say
oh you were in Hawaii a few weeks before
yeah Michael and you were in Nashville
so even if I was in LA we still would
have met over the phone just like we did
every fucking day that I could have done
more about the gift bags when I sat in
my living room with Hunter Elijah Mario
Amar'e Ashley Isabella
telling you that I wanted merch in the
gift bags that I wanted mini clip in
hair except in the gift bags that I
wanted jewelry in the gift bags in what
kind of jewelry that I want to glitter
from
Lemon Head LA I'll go get glitter and
glitter tear packages that I wanted
makeup products from colour-pop and then
I wanted to reach out and he told me no
he would do it in he'll take care of it
and sitting there and asking him in
front of all those people okay so you're
gonna have every single one of those
items in the gift bag and then getting
to TanaCon and it being a condom I
wanna talk about planning planning it
all seems ridiculous now with all of
this footage but this is something that
I worked harder on than I've ever worked
on anything in my entire life I became
living breathing Tana Con this in another room
and small panels Chapman we could put
one of those EJ's like to do an outside
pool party member and have a panic on
pool party for the fans oh yeah wait
we're getting
so Loras is renting out that
oh yeah we should do so many photo
opportunity things for that there's
gonna be like shit just to kind of have
fun with and be like there's an open bar
there's brunch exactly I really want to
end my Moses on Saturday morning
articulate that kuving's where I would
look into like at playlist that stages
never packed wall-to-wall I know that's
something like a show like like a mosh
pit good but I see yeah yeah literally I
I want to almost give up slight warp
tour vibes like that which is I mean oh
you got what that company yeah Angie I
mean people really going out around the
building barricades everywhere like it's
gonna be they're gonna be at the main
stage yeah some people might not be
there yet some people might be flying
from really far and I didn't even think
about that so like it's all I'm learning
with experience but I like that then
that means I'm fuckin hands-on and I
actually care and I'm actually you know
well yeah exactly and that's why I feel
like they don't hear us you're like oh
I'm like no I'm reading every single
thing you're just what you kinda see
exactly i'm proactively going to fix
shit you know I'm only human
it's panic on you know a mechanic on
robots i sat up every single night going
over and every goddamned thing with
Michael waste whether it was security
whether it was lines outside whether it
was merchandise which youtubers
merchandise we wanted there which
exclusive merchandise we wanted to make
how we were gonna design every single
fucking item that was guaranteed to be
in those gift bags the capacities the
room the safety the security the 91
security guards that ended up being 25
how many paramedics we wanted which
youtubers got which hotel rooms and what
I wanted to put it put in them and and
which sponsors I wanted in which
companies I wanted there and what I
wanted my birthday party to look like I
want songs I wanted the fans to hear
first and what panels I wanted in every
single person on each and every one of
those panels and what panel came after
which one and what went before the other
one in making sure nothing conflicted
with anyone's VidCon experience and
asking over and over and over and over
and over and over again that the
security and the capacity would be fine
I asked
likewise if the security and the
capacity would be fine
five hundred thousand fucking times and
every single time I was told yes it will
be perfect don't even worry about that
till you're that you to bring up a
talent focus on who you want on what
panel are you kidding me
of course safety and security is gonna
be fine Tana why wouldn't it be but to
go even further in what I was
responsible for planning it was the
concept and foundation of SantaCon but I
want to be a little more clear than that
the concept and foundation of Tana Khan
was planned by me and I was going to
kick and fucking scream until it got
done and I honestly think that this is
the most important message I want to
convey in this video and the reason why
I explained how I was wined and dined
and how Michael was and everything that
happens is so that I can convey this
message I believed that I could place
the task of creating a perfect safe
happy awesome
Tana Khan in the hands of Michael waste
and good times did I want to be a
pivotal part of creating the event did I
want to choose every little thing down
to the color of the gift bags and what
person was on what panel and every
little fucking thing hell yes I did and
I did that I was on my phone every
second of every day with that man but
the responsibilities of the logistics
and the production and the security and
the safety and the lines and the water
and the food and the paramedics I placed
in the hands of the production company
good times because at the end of the day
and I'm not falling back on this on a
crutch because like I said I'm a fucking
idiot for ever doing it out of spite and
ever doing it in two months and ever
doing it on the same day but I still at
the time was a 19 year old girl who
makes YouTube videos I don't ruin it
convinced
company and Michael Weist made me
believe that he ran the best convention
company and he was going to make me the
best convention he possibly could he did
everything in his power to make me
believe that we had plenty of time and
that security was gonna be fuckin on
lock and that everyone was gonna be
inside with plenty of space the gift
bags would be full and that all I had to
do was tell him what I wanted and he
would make it happen and so as the days
for Tana Khan came up further and
further and further I began to realize
that Michael was a little dumber than he
was a lot dumber than he was putting off
to be that the ego was to cover up a lot
that there were a lot a lot a lot of
lies I think I was beginning to realize
that I didn't make the right choice but
we're a week away with 4,000 tickets
sold I didn't know what to do so I
enlist the help with Jordan and we do
everything we can to make things as
great as possible but again Jordan
doesn't run a convention company he's a
talent manager so we locked every
influencer for every panel and we lock
down every sponsor and we lock down
everything we could but Michael was
allegedly handling all of the things we
knew nothing about security venue
capacity safety it was scary but I was
so excited I went and toured the venue
asked about security another 100,000
times asked about capacity another its
registration we have the whole part yeah
what to do like we're gonna put the
registration boots out there so the keys
this is prickly five have to give you a
lot of people yeah I'm like YouTube
space where so we gotta make that work
we're gonna they're not getting to
realize that every time I spoke to
Michael he was telling me something
different you know that the capacity is
three thousand two hundred and ninety
eight oh no wait that's the capacity of
the main ballroom
oh no wait we now of the lobby so that's
another seven hundred to a thousand
people we can hold onö every hallway
holds a hundred people here tanah come
back to Anaheim let's tour all of the
offset rooms this room can hold a panel
and it can hold 300 people this room can
hold this many people outside no one
will be in line for that long at all
look we set that up meet the security
team meet the security guards there's
gonna be no body shame a really fun girl
kid maybe like this I don't know she
said maybe I don't know maybe something
that gets on my nerves
well it depends how annoyed you're gonna
get me okay so there's an officee meet
the security guards there's gonna be 91
that's double more than we need
everyone's gonna be so safe Tana Kahn I
remember laying in bed the night before
with hunter watching Philip defranco's
first video we'll see personally I hope
it does well because the success of
others and people being more independent
in this community leads to more success
for others being independent in this
component my eyes out happy tears
because I felt like I'd finally made a
positive footprint in the community I
remember walking into tannic on off of a
party bus with all my friends running
into the arms of the fans outside
bawling and then right after that
Michael and his videographer Phil told
me in Hunter that we could never fucking
have that footage because it was for a
documentary that they were filming but
that's beside the point but even that
was weird you know I was Michaels entire
video team threatening me and my
videographer because they own the rights
to all the footage why was Michael
calling himself the CEO of Tanika and my
manager that night when he wasn't and
now at anaconda started it was the
morning of and where was Michael he was
cheering champagne on a Segway running
around while Jordan and I were actually
planning everything he was making sure
the good times posters were hung up
while not giving a fuck about the
thousand fans that were already lined up
outside and what's crazy is even the
first three or four hours of Tanic on
there was already so many horrible
things happening so many people were
stuck outside and
if hearts were atrocious was having his
team shed wool over my eyes and tell me
that everything was fine beside Michael
honest say when he goes I'm gonna walk
you over homicide
yeah we're going to the filthy bangs
room which fella was up until like 6:00
in the morning last night building out
I'm making crazy it's a party in there
right after this panel is the wedding so
we all still okay but I have to train I
think oh my I also have an unconscious
right little bit change I'm about to
marry two people I got ordained I'm
actually a minister actually very
excited for Jordan to see how I look
they know I think this is the most loads
he will go everywhere
I was doing panels and I was singing Q&A
with Lenna and Adam and hosting a Q&A
with Emma and hosting the wedding and I
was crying every 20 minutes because I
thought everything was fucking perfect I
thought my dreams had finally come true
I thought I was in my literal heaven I
haven't even started my Tanic on pong
yet what cures here and she has
something what's up panic on vlog I just
hopped up in the rape panic on started I
have a convention this doesn't feel real
I'm dying why we didn't have a speaker
so we were all playing the same songs
out of our phone at once to try to
amplify the music it's been an
interesting ride I'm about to get out
and see the first katakana fans that's
excited okay so this is Tana's blog yeah
I just like to say this is the dopest
shit I've ever experienced I have I have
all this stuff ever to do tomorrow and
guess what I'm pumped for it because
it's for Tanic on it's not for some
stupid-ass money sucking ass shit it's
for fun and it's for Tana and it's for
you and we just love it see you tomorrow
Wow I'm so emotional it's gross like
that made my left I don't know why the
right I didn't but the left side teared
up like hardcore my room good morning
makeup my Sam it came all the way here
to make me less ugly yeah that's cool I
literally was like fuck these bitches
everyone no Taylor Kanye won today's my
last good being a teenager Philip
DeFranco did a video of me last night
and I was up just exam because I was so
happy I couldn't see good morning panic
on day 1 blog we're headed to the
opening of tanning on I don't know what
the book to say I'm so emotional how
many minutes
oh and if I get both
good morning how are you guys I love
them dude I love you but I'm take them
out but little did I know every time I
walked out of a room everyone was
freaking the fuck out because everything
was going wrong because Michael didn't
do shit and Michael didn't know shit and
after a few hours I'm about to do a Q&A
on stage with Gabby I find out it's
Tuesday
ATandT Aquinas canceled and there are
thousands of people outside and that
everything is going horribly and of
course I'm a selfish asshole and I go
upstairs to change my clothes and make
Gabby wait and just suck and while I'm
up there I'm getting texts and I'm being
told that there are 20,000 people
outside Michael is going around to
everyone bragging telling everyone
there's 20,000 people outside Tana
congratulations he's making it seem like
the best thing ever look out the window
everything's fine no one's even mad at
you it's 20,000 people outside they love
you so much
everything's gonna be fine it's twenty
thousand twenty thousand we count I
can't even tell you how many times
Michael came to tell me that it was
twenty thousand people and he was so
excited and that's what's the most
fucked up to me an honest decent person
in that moment would have said I fucked
up and there's five thousand people
outside maybe and they all have sunburns
and they're all sobbing and bawling
their eyes out and Tana Khan went
horribly and I fucked you over and I'm
sorry but no he's riding around on a
Segway telling me to go on Instagram
live and thank everyone for the 20,000
people and go outside with Bella and
hand out some waters and everything's
gonna be fine and we'll do Tanic on day
two and that was pretty much the last I
saw of Michael literally he sank weight
away had his camera guy fill film him
crying running around Anaheim while
Jordan and I sat in a war girl trying to
figure out what the fuck that's what's
crazy to me too is that um after all of
this Michael had the audacity to say
that I I just went out and partied that
night well no I sat in a boardroom for
five hours and your entire team who's
terrified of you and I still don't know
why you an entire team of goodtime staff
was terrified of you finally spoke up to
me and told me all of the lies you told
me and now there's no way we can
actually do a day - and even though
Michaels saying that
and that we can fix everything that he
didn't do anything right
I found out in that boardroom that the
morning of he canceled the paramedics
because he didn't want to spend the
money on it but he cut the security
guards in half that he was on Instagram
DME always again USA asking them to
print him black shirts that says
security I work security for Terry Khan
it's crazy as you guys BC there's about
twenty to thirty kids up there and they
got little me and my team out here
trying to keep keep these guys in line
it is no joke it is no joke I thought
there were more security guards that if
I were to do a day two that someone
would probably die and that I was lucky
that no one died today that was the
first time in that boardroom that I got
to hear the truth about Tanic on that
his team finally broke down and stopped
lying to me stop being afraid of him it
was all a facade and that the smartest
thing to do would be to cancel it for
the safety and happiness of my fans that
was one of the most devastating moments
of my life everything was like this you
know everyone was talking about it it
was gonna be so amazing it was gonna be
so perfect the Security's fine
everything's gonna be great though it's
all capacities fine
well you finally made a change whatever
just kidding it's all a lie you're lucky
your fans didn't die today the security
isn't real security and the paramedics
were cancelled Michael Weiss would
rather spend that money on
shanell earrings your gift bags were a
condom I didn't know what to do I was in
shock mode I thought it would be the
best thing to do so leave the Marriott
and to go to my network's party and to
talk to you guys outside there were like
a hundred fans outside so I went and
talked to them to talk to all the people
in the industry inside of the party and
I started vice to apologize to creators
to try to start mopping up the mess and
for him to go in an interview and say
that I was just out partying while all I
was trying to do is damage control the
thousands of fucking lies he told to me
and figure something out any truth is
the most angering thing and to be so
goddamn angry at VidCon for three years
and now to sit back and be 10,000 times
more angry at the one person I thought I
could trust to help me pull this off is
devastating so want nothing more than
for Tanic on to go well and to see
videos of third fucking degree sunburns
and people on stretchers hear the
stories of the fans who were still there
that traveled all the way from Australia
and London and wherever else is
soul-shattering and so infuriating
because I would have never done Tana
Khan if I knew it was gonna happen like
that but now that left Jordan and I to
mop up the mess and then we come to find
out all of the numbers there weren't
20,000 people outside and now I look
like a fucking idiot the venue could
never have held 5,000 people and it was
oversold the security was a fucking joke
but at the end of the day I put my name
on it my idea originated in spite and I
made a huge fucking mess and I have to
clean it up past two weeks I've been
radio silent everyone wanted to know
immediately why I wasn't making a video
and why I wasn't addressing in and all
of that kind of stuff this is why I
didn't know what the fuck to say I
didn't know what the fuck was the truth
I know what the fuck was alive I know
what the fuck was going on
want to sit down and talk about it and
so I knew every damn thing and what's
crazy is everyone thinks that after
Shane's video came out that I knew
everything I'm still being silent for no
reason or whatever I'm still finding out
so much stuff to this day refunds like I
told you earlier Michael hid showed up
to my birthday party to tell me that he
loved me and wished me a happy birthday
I said I don't know what to say because
even i almost understood why everyone
was so afraid of him and then he left
anaheim back to nashville on a plane
stranded all of the creators that were
still in anaheim and started hitting him
up about refunds and I heard no response
I started calling him and calling him
and then I see that he went outside and
told people that Jordan wasn't
responding during all of Tanacon when
in reality Jordan was the only person
trying to hold anything together so that
was what he did before he left and I
became very aware that the only people
who actually cared about the fans and
their refunds were Shane, James the other
Creators i started hearing rumors from
everyone that Michael knows that he's
telling everyone he's just fine and he
made four hundred and fifty grand from Tanacon
on and then Bryce starts showing me all
the fake bake statements that Michael
used to make to show him how much money
before he stole his and then Michael
sees that Shane is gonna make a Tanacon
video and then starts becoming so
responsive and he's upset and he's gonna
lose his house and he's going bankrupt
but the bank statements he sent me were
fake and I don't believe any of that
for a damn second and now suddenly he's so
upset and he cares so much and so we all
start discussing refunds and it's very
prevalent that Michael doesn't know what
the fuck to do I might have to write a
check and issue refunds myself and then
after I think Shane realized all of this
he was nice enough to help the situation
and I appreciate Shane so much more than
you'll ever know I know that that's not
what this is about but no one knew all
of this for the last two weeks. Shane was
the only person to listen and understand
that I'm a fucking idiot and call me out
on all my bullshit but still give me a
platform to transparently tell this story on and care
about the refunds and care about the
fans and talk to Michael and I don't
think Michael would have ever talked to
me if it wasn't for Shane so I'm so
grateful for his position in that sense
and Shane's my fucking dad we all know I
would be dead if it wasn't rim so I'm
not even gonna get into that but I don't
even know what I would do in this
situation if it wasn't for Shane's
fucking Dawson he could have walked away so easily 
all he was was a creator that
reluctantly agreed to show up at my
event and to take on this responsibility
is the greatest thing someone could ever
do for me and I will never be able to
repay him but you all know that and for
him to forgive me and still talk to me
every day and listen to me means the
world now here we are present day in my
house coming back to the world facing
this head-on sitting in the same spot
that I was so spitefully screamed at
VidCon and so now I've been spending
every single day trying to work on a
perfect solution but the truth is
nothing will ever make this fully right
and it will be one of the biggest
regrets of my life for the rest of my
life I'm gonna do everything I can to
make it right and as much as I want to
be radio silent and continue to hide the
good parts of my intentions the parts of
me that wanted to be the voice for the
creators and make a change in this
industry and make a change in the way
that creators are treated and be the
voice or people are treated like shit
and give the fans what they deserve that
voice in me doesn't want to back down
because if I were to back down and give
up on the right things that I believed
in that would be losing in my eyes but
to everyone that's out here calling me a
con artist Tana conned Tana you're an
evil mastermind you're a piece of shit
whatever I didn't make a fucking dime on
Tanacon and now I will be losing my
money if anyone thinks that I went into
Tanacon for anything other than a wild
fucking dream fueled by a fuck ton of
spite you were wrong my tickets were $65
and Michael spent every dime that was
earned trying to do it for the money I
did it because I wanted to create a
better different event was it fueled by
spite was it fueled by ego what I have
been so persistent if I wasn't getting
the attention and the press and all of
the crazy shit that was happening
probably not but I knew from day one
that I wasn't making a dime that it was
for the greater good of the industry
that it was for making a footprint in
this world that it was for doing
something dope and cheap for once for
the fans I wanted something free I
wanted free tickets that's another
fuckin conversation
I remember texting Michael every four or
five days all the way up until Tanacon
being like okay drop two hundred free
tickets and he'd be like okay two
hundred tickets are live on the site
right now I did this probably
ten times but then coming to see that
every single person outside waiting in
line and paid for a ticket so you were
lying to me about how many free tickets
were given away so that you could profit
more I wanted all free tickets such a
fucking mess now I'm spending my time
working on free meet ups in as many of
the most popular cities no matter where
they are of people who bought tickets
and stuff for charity with Shane
starting from the ground up again with
the same morals of what I believed in
when I made those videos but with a
whole hell of a lot less spite and a giant
slap in the face from reality and a
whole fuck ton of trust issues a long
time ago someone said to me if you want
something done right do it yourself and
that's where I am with all of this I
will never blindly trust anyone again I
will never let ego and spite fuel the
decisions I make with someone if
everyone tells me not to fuck with a
person in the business industry not
gonna do it as much as that sucks
it's the truth not gonna do things
without months of planning I'm not gonna
do things like Tanacon a lot of
change has to be made I'm gonna stick to
what I know I'm gonna research
everything I can I'm gonna look at
everything that went wrong so I know how
things can go right I'm gonna work with
Jordan David Worona
and that's about it
because he's the only fucking person in
this industry who isn't a snake I'm
gonna be more guarded people are
secretly filming me and telling me if I
sell this many tickets they're gonna buy
me a Rolex i'm gonna tell them to get
the fuck out of my house James Charles
the smartest sister and this fucking
industry tells me not to trust someone
I'm gonna listen to him I'm working on
everything I can to figure out how to
accommodate all of the travel funds of
people who traveled but in the meantime I
am so sorry I'm sorry if you came to
Tanacon I'm sorry if you had a sunburn
I'm sorry if you waited in line I'm
sorry you didn't get to meet your
favorite creators I'm sorry that you
ever even had to look at that sorry
excuse for a gift bag and I'm sorry if you
believed in me if I let you down and I'm
sorry for fucking this up sorry for
being dumb, egotistical, spiteful,
selfish, stupid, irresponsible I'm gonna
do everything in my power to make it
right
and I'm not gonna give up for the voice
of the fucking creators and the voice of
the fucking fans I'm not gonna stop
trying because I would be a sorry excuse
of I don't want to say role model but
you know what I mean if I came on here
weeks ago preaching never to give up on
your dreams and then because one thing
went wrong I'm gonna give up forever
that's not who I am and that's not who I
want you guys to be that's not the god
damn message I'm gonna spread on this
channel but thank you for listening
thank you for watching this thank you
for being on this journey with me thank
you for letting me tell you what
happened I was lied to so much never
been and I probably never will be more
lied to in my entire life by anyone I
trusted a horrible person and a horrible
company Michael Wiest and his entire
staff of people who were terrified of
him
fucked me over brutally but I'm still a
fucking idiot for attaching myself to it
and letting it happen I knew better and
I'm fucking stupid and I'm sorry if you
think I let you down
just know I let me down so much harder I
just want to say thank you to Shane and
thank you to you guys it's time to pick
up the pieces figure the shit out
but I just mean like my videos like
coming back like everything that I'm
just up straight up I'm scared as well
this is crazy haha
I do think everything happens for a
reason I think that this happened to
show people just because you have a
bunch of followers and just because people
like you you don't you shouldn't throw a
convention in a month straight up ok I think the
whole tone of the convention was
negative started out kind of like oh you
know this is her whatever and oh this is
gonna be for the creators this gonna be
this to that but like the closer it got
to it the more just became fuck VidCon I
agree which I didn't even know really
cuz I wasn't really looking into it I
wasn't ever like down for that but I
didn't do anything to stop it
do you know like on there message to
the creators when they wrote fuck VidCon
I didn't do that even approve that I
didn't see that that was a surprise to
me but I also didn't stop it so I take
the blame for that and I made the video
you know saying VidCon did me dirty I
wanna do something the same day and that
was petty
I should have never done it the same day
were my mantras and shit of you know the
creators having a better time true of
course they were at a horrible time at
VidCon I was treated horribly so many
creators were too and I wanted to do
something better but Tana newsflash you
can't do that in a month with a 20 year
old yeah like it's just not possible and I should of thought about it more
I should have one big question that a
lot of people are still gonna have is
why did it take you so long to respond
and to tweet and why was I the one that
you're telling everybody was canceled oh
you didn't ask me to do that but I did
it because I was like somebody else and
like oh this shit this is canceled this
shit's bad this is not safe I mean first
of all like I've told you from the
beginning I didn't know things were
going bad at Tanacon until an hour
after like everything like I was doing
stuff on stage they were telling me
everything was absolutely fine it wasn't
told me and Bella went up to my hotel
room and actually saw the people outside
of her like let's go down that with
water but I knew shit was actually
horrible and by that time people are
already ready for a response
ever since any scandal I've had
everything
in the past and one thing I've learned
is you don't want to be impulsive you
don't want to go live and say bullshit
that doesn't you know account for things
and I've done that so much in the past
impulsive tweeting impulsive bullshit I
felt like it was better for me to sit
back reflect and when I went to talk
about it make sure that everything I was
saying was factual make sure that
everything I was saying with apologetic
and me taking the blame whatever and I
wanted to think about it but still I
waited too long it probably would have
been a better time to be impulsive and
say everything on my mind did like you
were saying earlier to me on the phone
if I went there and I had that
experience and it was that bad I would
have been straight to Twitter if I had a bad experience on a fucking airline
I'm on Twitter talking about it so for
me to go silent in that moment was dumb
but I was just fucking scared and I
wanted to make sure that what I said was
true were you afraid of dragging Goodtimes I still am even just after
everything that we filmed I hate to
place the blame on anyone but myself
because at the end of the day like in my
head like I'm angry at myself for this
this is my fault
it's Tanacon you fucked up being able
to talk to you and shine a light on the
fact that I was being told that
everything was fucking perfect and I was
researching and trying to do everything
I could and being told it was all
perfect and then it didn't end up being
him it may be you know other people
didn't have a lot to contribute in this
getting fucked up just feel good and
knowing that you're a credible source
and you wouldn't put anything out there
unless it was fucking true as fuck feels
Goodtimes because I feel like if I went on my
channel it was like you'll fuck Goodtimes
fuck Micheal this sucks whatever
it wouldn't be as credible it would just be me whining
gonna be whining about shit you know and
I think it was very like the wrong
message for your audience and for people
in general which is I know you have this
whole thing of like oh I'm gonna fight
for the little guy and win it whatever I
stand by that it looks like it was more
of an ego trip because you called it
Tanacon you know what I mean you call
it Tanacon but  on the roster is me yeah who
doesn't go to conventions you have you
literally Shanecon Casey yeah like straight up
Casey Neistat who like yeah
you know I was with James Charles who
I don't know that well yet I've had an account with him a few times
sitting down with Ryland I'm sitting
there with his sister and Andrew we're
all freaking out panicking and I'm
seeing this Instagram live where you're
just like talking about how like you
can't believe there's so many people cut
to they're out there burning and
stuff yeah it's like in the moment you
know yeah it was James typing something
catty in the chat no it was me behind
the phone being like what the fuck is she doing yeah we're trying to call you
texts you know what the fuck are you
doing I think I called you right after
that it's just like that looks so bad
that is really why as soon as I saw
everything I hoped it said I I know
everyone's angry and whatever but I want
to thank Shane and James because
everyone is sitting here telling me
congratulations like you got 20,000
people here it's Michael trying to fix
things and whatever be like 1000 you did
a great job whatever and so I'm seeing
all these people fuckin sunburns and
shit and like of course you guys are
standing up for what's right especially
your on this line up your name is
attached to what all these things are
happening like like I I wish I would
have known sooner that that shit was
happening so I never did tweet or
livestream like that because that's not
it's not what she said when that's
happened now she's not here to defend
herself but Bella who was on the roster
- yeah with you the whole time
tweeting like Oh Security's being an
asshole yeah but see I'm in that moment
we're upstairs in our room being told
you know Security's just being jerks
people had to wait a little too long a
bunch of people just showed up it's
20,000 congratulations it's fine the
parking lots big whatever and it wasn't
until hours and hours later when I'm
actually seeing videos of what and
tweets of what was happening the second
we realize all those people were outside
yeah we ran down to give them water and
shit like that but we're still being
told like it's fine now they're leaving
you're gonna be on for tomorrow like
it's you know just security you're jerks
and obviously Bella - like she's
invested in this but not as much as me
you know she's selling her merch and
she's there and she's supporting me it's
not her job to know all the security
stuff like I thought I knew all of that
you know I thought security was gonna be
great and whatever and they were told
all there's chairs and they're not jerks
you had a horrible fucking company of
half the people that you said was gonna
be there and they didn't know what they
were doing
you know yeah sure that being fed a lot
of bullshit I don't know
you want that what do you think about
and I don't know if you noticed but
VidCon was like helping and was trying
to help and like call me and call people
and like came to the parking lot and
helped kids with their sunburns and
helped kids get to be honest with you
knowing that they in those moments were
caring about the fans and the creators
and all that kind of stuff just in
general then make this industry possible
makes me really see them in a different
light and I didn't know that and I think
it took really fucking cool yeah and I
don't even know if I'm allowed to say
that but like fuck it I'll just say what
are they induced you mean like honestly
they they were so like we want to help
we know ten thousand we know fuck VidCon
we know all that stuff but like this is
that's all more important to like make
sure everybody's okay and tannaz okay
everybody involved is okay because this
is like some crazy the girls we
interviewed earlier they said that
people from VidCon we're helping them
like finding places to go and stuff well
yeah that so that's crazy and the reason
I bring that up is just to put things in
perspective cuz I know what it's like
trust me I have had so many companies
constantly even now fuck me over in so
many ways and I have had brand deals
falter I have had company steal my ideas
and our TV network steal my ideas I have
had YouTube itself fucked me over
constantly yeah and yes what I love to
start my own YouTube and like start with
it fuck yeah if that ever happens I know
it's gonna take a long time to do
something huge I took from this you know
how much time it actually takes to do
things you can't exactly you can't
prepare things overnight like that yeah
but expect them really perfect you're
right I feel I trust you as not just an
audience member but somebody who was
very very Madi you were there today
like I was pissed for every reason you
know you're not even mad now or less mad
or whatever like you're not living
you're not screaming I mean you're not
hitting me in the face right now is
beyond me I deserve it you can hit me in
the face I mean fuck thank you for doing
this
this has been the craziest experience
I've ever seen but more importantly
we're gonna figure out how to fix this
and we're gonna exactly that's all that
it'll work get the repo you can do it
the fact that we can't even say we that
you cared us to help me means their
journey hey my dad Thank You Ricky honey
Thank You Ricky thank you

    print(i['text'])
hi sisters james charles here and
welcome back to my youtube channel
first of all wow it feels so weird to
say those words out loud oh my gosh it
has been a really
really long time since i've been down
here in the makeup studio but it feels
really good to be sitting here today
i have missed you guys more than you
could ever imagine i hope you're
enjoying your summer i hope you're doing
well i hope you had a very happy and
beautiful pride month it kind of feels
like the world is finally getting back
to normal with all the vaccines and
stuff i got both my shots over the past
couple of weeks which has been
amazing and i really feel like there's a
lot of beautiful things happening in the
world right now and i'm really looking
forward to catching up with you guys
today as you know over the past couple
of months i have been offline after i
posted my
last video which was holding myself
accountable i felt as though it was
really really important for me to
actually hold myself accountable and
take a major major step away and do a
lot of work behind the scenes
um until i was ready to come back and
the last three and a half months now
i'm not gonna lie to you guys have been
really weird um i've been doing social
media for almost six years now which is
wild to think about but i've really
never taken
a long break to just be away and work on
myself
so this time was definitely different
for me um but i also feel as though this
has been some of the most important
months in my entire life in terms of
personal
growth and self-reflection and i'm
really looking forward to talking to you
guys a lot about that in
today's video um i really want this
today to just be a
super super honest raw unfiltered
sit-down conversation between myself and
anybody else who wants to listen
there's a lot that i want to talk about
in today's video i have a lot of
positive topics
but i also think it would be ridiculous
and irresponsible to try to just come
back to social media and pretend like
nothing happened
and move on with like really scheduled
makeup programming so i do also have
some pretty serious topics to discuss in
today's video as
well being what happened a couple of
months ago i want to clarify some things
that didn't happen a couple of months
ago and everything that happened after i
posted my video
but more importantly talk a lot about
the realizations that i've come to
behind the scenes and the conversations
that i've been having with myself my
friends my family
peers business colleagues and
professionals to really come to terms
with a lot of different issues that i
have been ignoring for quite a while now
and
once again to talk a lot about the
growth and
hopefully be able to not move on from
the situation because i don't think that
that's the appropriate language to use
but
hopefully move forward and i really hope
that you guys will choose to join me in
this conversation
for today's video i really want to get
ready together for a few different
reasons
one being i miss doing makeup so so much
and i really want to do a
pretty look in today's video but also
two
when i posted my last video one of the
biggest pieces of feedback that i got
was that it felt really really and
genuine and scripted
and that really really sucks because
that video was not scripted
but i am really bad at just sitting down
in front of a camera and
talking so by the time that i you know
got the sentence out that i was
imagining in my head after eight
different tries
it almost did become a script and i
think that we can all agree that that
last video was definitely not
uh a great one it was a miss um and that
really sucks because that video
was super important it was obviously
really embarrassing to talk about
that in front of the entire world but i
really wanted to apologize to the people
affected and also hold myself
accountable for
the role that i did play um and i feel
like a lot of the points and a lot of
what i was trying to talk about in that
video got overshadowed by
the tone and the delivery and i really
don't want that to be the case with
today's video
i do recognize that a chit chat get
ready with me might not feel like the
most appropriate
format for a serious conversation i hear
you a million percent
um for me i just makeup is like my art
form it's my therapy it helps me calm
down and reduce my anxiety
so my goal is to hopefully be able to
create a beautiful look by the end of
this video while also having a really
serious conversation with you guys that
i think is important
so my brain won't be too distracted and
running a million miles an hour and
tripping me up over my
words i hope that makes sense i don't
want to undermine the severity of the
topics in any way shape or form
um i think this will be the best way to
go about just talking about a lot of
different things together
and that being said i think we should
just go ahead and get started
all right you guys so i'm just gonna get
started on my makeup routine this is
definitely not gonna be a tutorial like
i said i do want to have a conversation
throughout the video today and i
definitely think the first topic that i
want to talk about is
just going over once again everything
that happened a couple of months ago and
clarifying
a lot of stuff that's happened after i
posted my last video and what people
have been saying answering some
questions
and talking about the growth and
everything that i've been working on for
the past couple of months behind the
scenes um as you guys know
i posted my holding myself accountable
video and in that video talked about how
basically two guys had come forward with
stories on social media about how i had
inappropriate contact with them um when
they were under the age of 18. now when
this is all going on my first reaction
was to be
super upset because i did mention in
that video that they had lied to me
about their age and that i absolutely
did
not groom them and my first reaction was
to post a
no more lifestyle of video debunking
everything and fighting back and
everything
and then i really had to sit down and
reflect and look back at
myself and my actions and things that
had happened and i really realized that
at the end of the day as the adult and
the person with
the platform it was 1 000 my
responsibility to be doing my due
diligence and checking into the people
that i was
speaking to and i failed to do that and
that really really sucks and that's why
i uploaded that video because i felt as
though
it was really important for me to hold
myself accountable give people an
explanation as to what went down
and most importantly apologized to the
people that were actually affected by my
actions one of the responses that i saw
quite a lot on social media and in the
comments of that video was
a lot of people felt like i felt like
this is just another james charles
scandal that i could easily move on from
like nothing ever happened
and i really feel as though it's
important for me to just address right
away that that is
absolutely not the case in any way shape
or form and that could not be further
from the truth
first of all i feel like calling this a
scandal in the first place is just
not an appropriate word to be using with
this situation
there's no denying that i've been in my
fair share of scandals online but
using that word with this situation just
feels really really
wrong and it really feels like it's
making light of what actually happened
and i don't want to do that
i definitely have not been taking this
lately if i thought this was just some
stupid scandal that i can move on from
i would not have uploaded my last video
and i wouldn't be posting on social
media like nothing ever happened but
this has been
the worst but most important wake-up
call of my entire life for a lot of
different reasons and this is by far
the most embarrassing thing to ever
happen to me i mean if you guys have
been following for a while now
you all know what happened in 2019 i'm
definitely not going to get into that
but
you know when that all happened i was
accused of something that i did not do
and i was able to prove it all
wrong but i did recognize that i needed
to make changes and i uploaded a video
making a lot of promises to my audience
and to the public that i was going to
work on myself behind the scenes
and i did i spent two years you know
changing my behavior changing the way
that i went about dating and flirting
with guys
i worked on rebuilding my brand and my
social media presence and now
two years later that this is happening
again even though the situations are not
connected even though it's a different
thing it really looks as though i have
made no progress i haven't listened i
haven't learned
and that sucks so much i really feel
like i let down
myself i feel like i let down my team my
friends my followers
everybody who has been by my side
supporting me and even defending me over
the past two years from
everything that went down beforehand i
now feel as though i have made to look
stupid and that is quite literally the
most crushing embarrassing feeling in
the entire world
and i said it in my last video but i
will say it again to everybody close to
me to all my friends my family my fans
i am so so sorry for disappointing you
guys and letting you down
once again you know as scary as it is to
think about i've also come to terms with
the fact that
this isn't just something that i can
move on from i am aware that
you know no matter what i say in this
video or 10 videos down the line or a
year's worth of videos down the line
these stories and accusations are going
to follow me for the rest of my life and
the rest of my career
and that sucks so much it's not even
funny and it's
so horrifying and embarrassing but at
the end of the day it's my own fault and
my own responsibility to
you know take accountability for what i
did i want to be held accountable
for what i did do and all i can hope is
that whether it be
you know weeks months years down the
line i'm able to showcase my growth in
the person
that i really really am now like i said
obviously i have absolutely no problem
holding myself accountable for things
that i did do
but i also do think as creators or not
even really creators as human beings
we should also be able to defend
ourselves on things that we didn't do
now when i posted my last video holding
myself accountable i mentioned that i
was going to be taking a break from
social media for a while and wouldn't be
responding to anything
and quite a lot of people took advantage
of my time away
and really ran wild with all sorts of
stories and
videos and allegations that made this
situation a lot
worse i do want to take some time in
this videos today to just shed some
light and further information on some
stories you know that either did or did
not happen and that i saw being spread
on social media while i was gone
because i think it's really important
that you guys have the full picture of
what actually went down there was
basically one
drama channel on twitter that started a
thread and started compiling a list of
anybody that said literally anything
about me on
social media and after what felt like
weeks of somebody knew coming forward
every single day
it eventually became the 20 victims of
james charles i am not going to go
through this list one by one because i
know that nobody wants to stay here for
an hour listening to me talk about this
but i do feel as though i have to say
something because i am just
not comfortable with this video or
really any video moving forward allowing
anybody let alone my followers to think
that there are
any victims of james charles let alone
20 victims of james charles because that
is
completely unequivocally not true
now when i say that literally anything
and everything was being added to this
list i really do mean anything
and everything there were a few
different influencers from tiktok that
stood in some ideas or i slid into their
dms and had a five-minute conversation
with them until asking their age or
sexuality and then completely stop
responding there were guys that i
matched with on tinder last year
and they had their ages set to 18 or 19.
so i talked to them and flirted with
them for a while because that's the
whole point of
an adult dating app until i realized
that they were lying so i blocked them
and nothing further happened one of my
own friends is on that list simply
because we filmed a tick tock together
when he was 18
and the drama channel that was posting
this just decided that i groomed him
um you know there's a guy from my high
school on that list because he made a
video about me and as annoying as it was
at least in his video he fully said that
it was completely consensual that we
were both grown adults
and that he was only posting it for
clout i can at least appreciate the
honesty
but the problem is when it was reported
on twitter it was a fan comes forward
about james charles forcing him to do
blah blah blah
which is just so far from what was even
said by the person that actually made
the video in the first place
but the worst part about all of this is
that on top of all of those situations
there were countless videos posted that
were completely
fake i'm not talking about somebody
unsent a message or somebody took
something out of context
i'm talking about conversations that
fully never happened that were edited
from beginning
to end now to be fair there were several
other drama channels and even news
outlets and reporters that were calling
out this person
for knowingly posting fake stories and
information time and time and time again
and i'm really really appreciative of
that but the problem is
we are such a headline driven society
that people don't see that information
being corrected or
you know being taken down all they see
is that initial headline
which literally said the 20 victims of
james charles and that's the information
that sticks with them
when more and more things were being
added to this list the one response that
i saw
over and over and over again was that
there's a pattern here you know james
keeps saying that he's the victim he
keeps saying that these people are lying
to him or taking advantage of him
all these people can't be working
together and where there's smoke there's
fire so obviously something is going on
and i 1 million understand exactly why
people are saying that because if i was
on the outside
i'd be saying the same exact thing it
looks so suspicious i kept thinking like
why does this keep happening to me what
am i doing wrong why can't i just find
somebody who likes me for me
but i finally realized and like you
talked about in my last video i was
allowing myself to be so easily
accessible to literally
anybody who wanted to give me attention
and have a conversation for five minutes
because i was so delusional and thinking
that the conversation can't hurt maybe
it'll actually lead to me finding
you know the one when in reality of
course statistically that does
make sense if you talk to more people it
i guess increases your chances of being
able to find
a potential partner but at the same time
i wasn't realizing that that also
increases my chances of finding somebody
not great that doesn't want to talk to
me for the right reasons and that might
lie or take advantage of me
and that is nobody's fault other than my
own that being said though there is a
second pattern that's happening here
that i really do feel like a lot of
people
aren't seeing and i feel as though it's
important for me to point out and that
pattern is
is that if you make a video about me
your experience dating or talking to me
whatever it may be whether it's
completely real or completely fake
it will go viral on social media now i
am not saying that to
boost my own ego and beat my chest and
act like i am so important and so
famous it really is just the reality of
the situation
if you look at the people's profiles who
posted this content all of their videos
have
a thousand views 2 000 views maybe 10
000 but then all of a sudden
my experience with james charles whether
it be completely real or completely fake
has 6 million views and at this point
it's literally become a trend to post
screenshots of conversations
not just with me but with everybody and
at this point dare i even say like
a meme to post your experience talking
to
james charles now once again i recognize
that this is my own fault
i wish more than anything i could go
back in time and stop myself from
making all those jokes about straight
guys years ago and talking about dating
and how i was single and how i wanted a
boyfriend so badly like i wish more than
anything that i kept that private
unfortunately at this point there's
nothing that i can do about that other
than just
be better moving forward but at the same
time i'm still a human being that
deserves
privacy and respect like everybody else
you know it's one thing to have a super
innocent and casual five-minute
conversation with somebody on instagram
dm's or a dating app
and then to scroll on your favorite page
an hour later and see every single
message that was
sent it already feels really really
violating and dehumanizing but at the
same time
once again it's my own fault and that's
just what happens with
having a platform but now we've gotten
to a point where
people are completely faking
conversations from beginning to end that
contain incriminating content
and they're going really really viral
and nobody thinks twice about them or
knows what to believe
and that's what's so horrifying about
this trend and it has to stop
and when speaking about this i think
it's really important for me to clarify
as well that in no way shape or form am
i trying to
invalidate victims or victim blame or
victimize myself either
when i posted my last video i recognized
that although i was not guilty of what i
was being accused of
i was not innocent in general and did
need to make a lot of changes and
apologize moving forward
so i'm not trying to invalidate any of
those people but at the same time
you can't be a victim of something that
did not happen and with all these people
making completely fake conversations and
screenshots and posting videos of a
five-minute conversation
just to get attention and clout and
likes and go viral on social media to
add to this crazy narrative all it does
is discredit and disrespect the people
that were actually affected in the first
place
and it waters down the severity of the
issue and the situation going on
but it also discourages people from
being able to come forward in the future
because when it's so easy to photoshop
and edit these conversations from
beginning to end
nobody's going to know what to believe
and that is a really really dangerous
situation the last thing that i kind of
want to talk about is that i know when i
upload this video
there's going gonna be a lot of people
that say okay cool james you said this
before
so where's your receipts and your
screenshots to back it up and
that's totally valid but i'm gonna let
you guys know right now that i am not
gonna be including any in
today's video and i could sit here and
say that that is because i'm trying to
be the bigger person and grow and not
get involved in tea or drama anymore
and that would be true but the real
reason why i'm not including screenshots
in today's video is because i don't have
them
i know that i kind of became like known
for that after no more lies but that was
such a different situation where i had
months and months worth of
texts and dms that i could super easily
pull together a timeline
and prove my innocence whereas in these
situations for the ones that were real
at least
these interactions lasted for five
minutes an hour a few days at maximum
and i just wasn't sitting there taking
photos of everything that was being said
you know i do have some receipts that i
definitely think would help but i'm also
going to be honest and say that there's
several situations that i don't have
any sort of receipts for especially not
the conversations that were completely
fake
and i really don't want to leave
anything on the table you know no matter
what sort of receipts or screenshots or
proof that i include or share online
there's always going to be a group of
people that refuse to believe it because
the narrative and the drama and the t
is simply more fun and more entertaining
and that really
really sucks but you know i know the
person that i
am i know what i've done i know what i
have not done and i know what i need to
work on
and all i can hope is that there will
always be people out there who are
willing to let other human beings learn
and grow from their mistakes
and i just really look forward to
hopefully showing that
in the future you know speaking of
learning and growing the last thing that
i just want to briefly discuss before we
move on to a more
light-hearted subject is i would love to
just take a few minutes of your guys's
time and talk a little bit about
the progress that i made and the
conclusions that i have come to over the
past couple of months because
i promised that i would do that in my
last video and i
feel like i owe it to you guys whenever
anybody apologizes personally i always
think it's really important to not only
apologize
but also to be able to explain that you
understand
how what you did was wrong and why it
affected somebody and how you're not
gonna do it again
in the future so when i uploaded my last
video i talked a lot about how i was
desperate and coming to terms with that
and looking back now
that was not the right word to use it
became quite a meme and a trend online
and i i totally understand why that was
not supposed to be an excuse for
anything that happened
at all i was simply trying to explain to
you guys
that i finally understood why i kept
getting into this position
over and over and over again and how it
was my own fault and nobody else's
i really was convinced that i was able
to live this like
hannah montana double life fantasy where
i could be james charles
the internet persona beauty guru during
the day but then later on i can bite my
makeup off
get in normal clothes and talk to people
on instagram dms or on a dating app
or even hang out with somebody and have
them see me
as james dickinson and looking back now
i am so
angry with myself that i was ever this
delusional to think that it was possible
it's a lovely thought and a lovely idea
but the reality is
they're the same person and until i gave
somebody the opportunity and the time
to get to know me and my heart and my
soul they were always going to see me as
james charles because that's what i put
out there on my platform to millions and
millions of people
and i just wasn't understanding this but
now i finally
finally do in my last video i mentioned
that moving forward i was going to be
asking every single person i spoke to
for ids to make sure that this never
ever happened again
and that's already something that i've
been doing and has been working great
but it's now clear to me more than ever
that i need to be doing
so much more to protect myself and my
brand and
my privacy and safety most importantly
as well
and these are all things that i've
learned from making mistakes everything
that i've learned about dating in terms
of protecting myself and red flags to
look out for has been
through experiencing something and not
wanting that to happen again
i got called out flirting with straight
guys so i stopped allowing myself to be
a science experiment i've been on dates
before where guys have tried to take
pictures of me on the dl so it's now
gotten to a point where a lot of times
when somebody comes over
allows them to leave their phone at the
front door um i've even been in
situations where i had a guy over and i
asked him to leave because he made me
uncomfortable
and he hit me which was horrifying but i
learned from that and i now never have
anybody over without my roommates being
home
god forbid anything happens now i'm not
bringing any of that up to
ask for sympathy or act like what was me
once again i recognize that these type
of things can happen
when you have a platform it's up to me
to protect myself and make sure that i
am not allowing myself to be so easily
accessible
to let those people in in the first
place but i'm simply bringing it up to
say that
it's really complicated and these are
all things that i've learned over time
and i'm still learning and will forever
be learning to be the best version of
myself or the best potential boyfriend
in the future speaking of the future i
really don't know what that
is going to look like like i mentioned i
am going to be so much more careful
moving forward with every single person
that i talk to or interact with
but that doesn't mean that i still don't
want to find my right person
just like everybody else i just don't
exactly know how to go about that yet
but i'm gonna figure it out as i go you
know one of the really interesting
things to me was when this was all
happening
a lot of people were saying like he
shouldn't be damning people he needs to
be on this app or he shouldn't be on
this app he needs to do this he needs to
do this i've been on tinder and hinge
but i've had people either lie
or take screenshots and my account is
currently banned on both of those apps
for catfishing as
myself i had a variety account which is
like the celebrity
dating app um but even conversations
from there got leaked a couple of weeks
ago
and they declined my request to rejoin
there have been so many people too
saying
he just needs to give up and date a
celebrity you guys trust me when i say i
would literally love nothing more oh my
god if that option were on the table
trust me it would have been taken a long
time ago the idea of dating somebody
that's in la that has a busy but
flexible schedule
that understands my life that has money
so that i don't have to pay for
everything
that i can film videos with or walk red
carpets with like hello that is
literally a dream come true oh my god
the problem is the list of 20 to 25 year
old
queer men that are also in the public
eye with a large following is just
really really small and i'm friends with
almost everybody that is on that list
so it's really just not an option you
know i don't know who my perfect person
is going to be or how i'm going to go
about meeting them
i do know that i'm going to be way more
careful and more patient moving forward
but i still want to be able to talk to
new people meet new people and have
experiences
just like every human being does and
find love like every human being
deserves and of course when that happens
one night i would love love love
to share that with you guys but until
that happens unfortunately no matter how
careful i am
i'm most likely still going to run into
people that will always value
likes or making a video over somebody's
privacy and feelings and that sucks
all i can do is just learn from that
situation and figure out how to better
protect myself and be more careful
moving forward
and that i promise is exactly what i'm
gonna be doing i know that this has been
a really really long conversation and
portion of the video so if you made it
all the way through to this point
i just want to say thank you for
listening and hearing everything that i
had to say
it really does mean a lot like i said it
would be really
stupid to try to come back to social
media and pretend like nothing ever
happened so
as embarrassing as this was i really
felt as though it was important and i
owed it to you guys to just sit down and
have a conversation about everything
i hope i was able to answer some
questions clear up some stuff that
didn't happen
but most importantly once again be able
to hold myself accountable for what did
and explain to you guys that i
understand why i put myself into this
situation why it's wrong
and how i'm working a lot on myself and
making a lot of changes to make sure
that this never ever happens again in
the future
and i really really hope to be able to
show that to you guys if you choose to
stick around
for that journey all that being said
this bake has been sitting on my face
for literally 30 minutes now i'm pretty
sure the powder has melted into my skin
which is
disgusting so i'm going to wipe it away
we can get started on an eyeshadow look
and hopefully have a much more fun end
to this video all right you guys so i'm
really excited for today's makeup look i
have a super cute idea for like a pride
themed moment that i want to do
but before that i do want to give credit
to some inspiration of this look
and that is to the ballerina bride mua
on instagram
this is the look that she created i
really love how she used a lot of chunky
glitter and
3d butterflies so i want to do the same
thing and just to clarify because i'm a
little bit scared she has no association
to me we don't follow each other i just
found her on my instagram explorer page
so please do not give her any hate for
being in this video she's a really
really talented artist so if you want to
support her
i encourage that for sure dipping into
the brand new lunar beauty life's a
dragon face lift palette i'm just going
to grab the shade
can be it the bright yellow and just get
started on this cute little
makeup look there are so many things
that i'm so excited to talk to you guys
about and catch up with oh my god i feel
like it's been literally
forever first of all i am so excited
that it kind of
sort of a little bit feels like the
world is slowly getting back to normal
i'm knocking on one because i know that
that is not the case everywhere but
at least here in l.a it kind of feels
like things are starting to open back up
um you know i got both my vaccine shots
a couple of weeks ago which was amazing
i got madonna for anybody who was
wondering
and i do just want to encourage my
followers or anybody who is watching
if you have the opportunity and
resources to get a vaccine please please
please do your part in keeping everybody
safe so we can finally be able to
move on and keep everybody alive and
well i'm really really lucky that i was
able to get access to it when it kind of
first got here and opened up to people
of my age group in la and i got it right
away for anybody who has not gotten it
yet and maybe wondering what it was like
personally for me it was really
really easy i don't have like a fear of
needles or anything so the shot was
perfectly fine
the first dose i really didn't feel
anything my arm was a little bit sore
for the next day but that was it
the second dose however was not exactly
the same situation
um at first i did feel fine but then
later on that night
i woke up with a really bad fever and
sweating it was disgusting it was so
gross one of the worst night's sleep
that i've ever
ever had but by the time that i woke up
i just took it really really easy the
next day took
some vitamins and medicine and later on
the next night like 24 hours later i was
back to being
completely normal and completely fine it
obviously did
suck but 24 hours of pain and fever was
definitely worth
hopefully a lifetime of being protected
against this awful virus that has been
going around
and like i said i strongly encourage
anybody who has the availability and
access to get it
please please please do your part and
get the vaccine
oh my god how could i forget also i was
gone was my 22nd
birthday thank you so much to everybody
who left really beautiful positive happy
birthday messages
on my instagram with my social media it
really did mean the world i really did
try my best to stay off my phone and
social media a lot over the past couple
of months but
i'd be completely lying to you guys if i
didn't say that i checked every once in
a while you know i don't think anybody's
shocked by that but it really did work
my heart to see so much positivity on
my birthday especially going through
everything that i was at the time so
just thank you so much for that i do
want to talk to you guys about my
birthday though for two different
reasons
the first one being i just want to tell
you guys what we did because it was
really fun but the second reason being a
little bit more serious
so basically me and my closest friends
all rented a house out in coachella
and we did cam charles so think like
summer camp but for adults and oh my god
it was an
absolute blast we played all sorts of
games like archery tag we played manhunt
at night after the sun went down which
was
maybe not the brightest idea since
everybody was a little bit tipsy there
were definitely some
falls and some bruises and some scrapes
but it was still a lot of fun
uh we played a kickball but instead of
like running around the bases we did
slip and slides we were like slipping
all around in the water which was
absolutely insane and on the last day my
friend surprised me and brought in this
super cool company they basically set up
like this very puzzle escape room
scavenger hunt style game for all of us
to play which was
by far my favorite event of the entire
weekend oh my god
you guys we were diving into the pool
and getting golf balls we were running
all around the property looking for
different clues solving puzzles doing
word searches like
it was literally everything that i love
in life all combined into one game and i
had an
absolute blast i really wish more than
anything that i was on
social media because it would have been
so much fun to vlog it for you guys and
take you along on the journey
but that does actually bring me to the
second point that i kind of want to talk
about about my birthday and that is that
i've been doing once again like i said a
lot of thinking and this year i just
turned
22 which is so crazy to think about i've
been on social media since i was
literally 16 so you guys have
really watched me grow up one of the
things that i really realized and i kind
of touched on this earlier a little bit
is the whole like
james charles versus like james
dickinson persona you know you guys see
my edited youtube videos you see my
filtered and facetune instagram photos
you see my stories with a filter on them
and like of course i take you guys
behind the scenes every once in a while
but i
kind of like realized like over the past
couple of years you guys have gotten to
know
such a filtered and curated version
of me there are so many sides of me that
you guys don't know
and i've been so worried and concerned
about always being perfect and never
messing up or making mistakes and always
being like this family-friendly
fabulous makeup artist character that
i've kind of lost touch with
the person that i really am and i want
to show you guys that like
this time away like i mentioned for the
past couple months has been really
really weird because i'm a workaholic
and not being online was very different
for me
it really gave me an opportunity to
reconnect with old hobbies that i used
to love
love love doing i spent a literal week
straight building a ton of different
lego sets that i ordered online which
was
so much fun i built a hogwarts set i
built the taj mahal out of legos for
like 12 hours straight
and i loved every single moment of it i
have been playing an unhealthy amount of
minecraft bed wars
which is a really fun minigame and i
have gotten so good at it oh my god i've
really just been spending a lot of time
on myself and doing things that i really
really enjoy
and in the future i definitely just want
to showcase more of that to you guys
and bring you behind the scenes and show
the mess ups and show the unedited
photos and
be more raw and make jokes and say you
know cuss words that i normally would in
my everyday life
of course i still want everybody to be
able to watch and enjoy my content so
don't worry there's not gonna be like
any crazy
drastic changes but i really was just
thinking like if i'm working on
you know allowing people to see me for
who i am and not just james charles i
should be doing the same thing on my
social media platforms with you guys as
well
and i'm really looking forward to
showcasing a lot more of my personal
life with you guys
okay so that is pretty much the
eyeshadow portion all complete i am
literally loving how this is turning out
so far
now i'm gonna go ahead and add a bunch
of different glitters and butterflies on
top to
tie the whole look together i got these
tiny little paper butterflies from
etsy so i just basically am folding them
in half
so cute okay perfect as soon as i saw
this look i knew i wanted to do it for
this video today but
it was originally only because i thought
it was pretty it would look good for
pride month but
now that i'm actually putting it on i
feel like it makes a lot of
sense and i know that this sounds so
stupid oh no
but now that i'm actually putting it on
and thinking about it i really feel as
though it has like a deeper
meaning which i know sounds so cheesy
and so stupid but butterflies are the
symbol of rebirth and new beginnings i
really do feel like this has been the
most important time in my entire life
for self growth reflection
and i really feel like this video today
is the symbol of
a new beginning and hopefully a really
really beautiful one
all right you guys i finally just popped
on some mascara and a lash and i think
that completes one eye of this beautiful
butterfly pride look
i am loving loving loving how this is
turning out so far
but i've been talking your ear off i
know this has been going on for a really
long time now so i'm going to go ahead
and cut
do the other eye off camera and i'll be
right back to finish off the rest of the
look
okay you guys we are finally back with
the other eye all complete i know it's
only been one second for you but for me
i've been sitting here
literally coloring in butterflies for
the past hour i am so exhausted
but i'm so happy with how this look is
turning out so far just gonna add a
little bit of glow on top of what we
already have
going on it's so pretty okay i'm just
gonna give myself a quick spritz of some
setting spray
and then finally finish off with a cute
little glossy nude lip
all right you guys now that the lips are
all on and my face is set in place i
believe that is this
pride butterfly makeup look all complete
i really really hope you enjoyed how it
turned out i am obsessed with the final
product
i cannot wait to go outside before
sunset in a few minutes and take a photo
and post on instagram for the first time
in a couple of months
normally at the end of my videos i do
the whole if you enjoyed it give it a
thumbs up comment down below spiel
but i really don't feel like that's the
right thing to do for this video
um you know obviously we had some fun
things to talk about but majority of
this video was a really really important
conversation that i felt like i owed to
you guys
and needed to have and i really hope
that you chose to listen to it all the
way through
thank you so much for watching today's
video i know it's been a long one i hope
you're having a beautiful day and i hope
to see you very very soon
bye

for i in cball:
    print(i['text'])
hey guys i know this is not my typical
video that you are used to seeing but
recently some things have come up that i
feel like i need to address and so i
just wanted to sit down and have an
honest conversation with you and address
everything at once so let's get started
first thing i want to talk about is
something that is weighing the heaviest
on my heart right now the video has
resurfaced of my sister and i from 14
years ago
we are teenagers and in this video we
are doing characters that are latina and
the characters are completely based on
racial stereotypes it is not funny and
it is completely hurtful i am so ashamed
and embarrassed that i ever thought this
was okay i was a sheltered teenager who
was stupid and ignorant and clearly
extremely culturally insensitive racial
stereotypes are not funny they are not a
joke and they should never be joked
about a few years later we realized how
stupid and hurtful the video was and we
deleted it not out of fear of getting
caught but out of fear that someone
would find it and it would hurt them
because it's wrong i have grown and
learned so much from my ignorant
mistakes as a teenager and i've done
everything i can to right my wrongs now
this video was brought to light right
after i had posted a video on my vlog
channel last week with my friend todrick
talking about racism and how it is still
very much a problem in our world today
and how we need to fight against it
people were saying how dare i talk about
racism when i said these things 14 years
ago and to you i say that is the exact
reason why i should be talking about
racism and why i should be standing up
against it because i was one of the dumb
ones who said that stupid thing and grew
from it and learned from it and realized
how hurtful it could be and now i want
to write my wrongs and make a difference
so that other people don't make the same
mistakes that i made when i was a kid
another video popped up recently that i
want to address and it's a video that i
filmed 12 years ago where i talk about
taking a flight and an overweight woman
sat next to me and i talk really
negatively about her and it's awful and
i watched this clip and i was appalled
and shocked that those things were
coming out of my mouth 12 years ago
because that is not the woman who i am
today i'm such a huge advocate for women
and women's bodies and loving every
shape and every size and the fact that i
talked negatively about someone who was
overweight is absolutely disgusting to
me something else i want to talk about
that has been brought up is that when i
was three years old i was bit by a dog i
needed to go to the hospital and when my
mom told the doctor that a dog had bit
me the doctor said that legally the dog
needed to be put down now the clip of me
that is circulating from seven years ago
is me talking about this situation in a
very insensitive way when in reality
when our dog was put down i was really
upset and over the years i have
addressed this a few times in videos
talking about how guilty i feel how
upset i am that this happened still to
this day as a 33 year old woman i feel
guilty that our dog had to be put down
for biting me but in this clip i talk
about the story in a very dramatic silly
way because sometimes unfortunately i
use humor to talk about things that are
actually extremely painful for me and
this is an example of that to anyone and
everyone who is hurt or offended by the
statements i made when i was younger i
am so so sorry i hope you all can see
that the person who i am today is so far
from that ignorant person i was over a
decade ago and to those of you who might
say well i knew better when i was that
age or 14 years ago i knew right from
wrong i'm so glad that you did because
that means that there's one less person
making those stupid mistakes that i made
i should have known better and i didn't
and i'm extremely embarrassed by that
i'm really hopeful that i can be used as
proof that people can change and grow
and learn from their mistakes if you
continue to speak up when you see
someone doing something or saying
something wrong it can make a difference
as i grew up i learned that those words
were hurtful and i stopped using them
but there are still people in our world
currently who are saying racist
homophobic sexist body shaming things
that need to stop they need to be called
out because they can change i'm living
proof of it and my ignorant words from
my past just make me that much more
passionate to help the people that my
words might have hurt these things are
being brought to light because some
people are upset with me for not
addressing something that happened a few
weeks ago someone had made a video
saying some shocking and hurtful things
about me and a lot of you wanted me to
address it and i didn't i didn't address
it not because i was just ignoring it
and hoping it would go away but because
when this person messaged me letting me
know they were upset i responded
immediately i was very shocked and
confused i expressed i didn't know what
they were talking about and i also
expressed frustration that they were
trying to bring my son's name into their
drama then i received a message from
this person's mother asking me to not
speak his name so i was trying to
respect the mother's wishes and the
parents wishes of this 17 year old but
it has gotten to a point where there are
so many rumors and lies and speculations
going around i feel like i need to
address it i do have receipts proving
the things that i'm about to tell you
however i feel uncomfortable sharing
them because he is a minor so i'm only
going to be showing you the things that
were between adults or things that were
already public the biggest issue that
came from his video is that i sent a
child underwear and wow anyone who heard
this out of context and was offended i
completely understand because i would be
too but in this situation context is
everything so i would like to give you
some context to this situation four
years ago i did a live stream and in
this live stream i did a giveaway i was
giving away clothes that were unused
tags still on brand new that i had just
bought but i did not want one of the
items that was in this box was a really
ugly pair of underwear as soon as we
pulled them out cory and i started
laughing and joking around about how
ugly they were why did i buy these
ridiculous underwear it was so stupid i
just got
a big old box from forever 21 and i want
to open it up in front of you guys maybe
i'll send the ones i don't want to you
guys i got a bunch of crop tops
the panties the panties
and people started asking for them in
the live stream who wants that brawl
you want the bra everyone wants the bra
at the end of the livestream i was done
giving away clothes and then this boy
who made this video about me recently he
asked for the underwear yeah we picked
people i think that's enough
did that boy win these or not i don't
know he has to tell me what he wants
what he says
he said
um hi you have ugly clothes but i want
those ratchet panties and bra signed by
cory because he modeled them well
it was so ridiculous and funny we
laughed about it and i forgot to send
them to him and eventually he tweeted me
asking me for them again i sent them to
him he put them on over his clothes and
posted about them it was like a big joke
within the fandom i did this publicly
that live stream is still up right now
and i've always given out weird random
things in live streams i've given out a
taco costume i've given out old bobby
pins dirty shoes a few weeks ago i sent
a fan like a single piece of toilet
paper i've always given away weird stuff
and so in my mind at the time this was
no different than all the other weird
stuff i send to my fans as a joke now in
hindsight i see how completely stupid of
me i should have never sent that i don't
know what part of my brain was missing
at the time that i thought oh this is a
normal silly thing to do i should have
realized and recognized how dumb that
was and never sent it to him no matter
how much he asked but it was never a
sneaky creepy gross thing that i was
doing in secret it was a silly stupid
mistake that now is being blown way out
of proportion he also mentioned in his
video that his mom was uncomfortable
with me which was surprising and
shocking for me to hear because i was
always under the impression due to the
things he told me and the things that i
saw on the internet that she not only
was aware of our interactions but she
was very supportive of him being a fan
of mine she commented on a photo of him
this year at my show saying how it was
such a fun night she gave him a birthday
card when he was 16 with me on it and he
let me know multiple times how much his
parents loved me and watched my videos
so this was surprising for me to hear
because if i had known that i would have
stopped all interactions with him if i
ever knew his parents were uncomfortable
another thing i think is important to
address from his video is that he did
have access to my miranda sings twitter
account for one day not for years and i
want to just go over how that whole
situation went down over the years i've
loved asking my fans for advice on what
i should post for miranda videos miranda
tweets things like that quite honestly
you guys are the funniest people that i
know and i love your advice i love your
input i've taken a handful of
suggestions as to what i should tweet as
miranda from my fans over the years and
he is included in that i used a couple
of his tweet ideas many years ago they
did really well he was super funny and
since then he's asked me multiple times
if he can help me out with social media
again i always thought that was really
really sweet but most of the time i did
not engage in those conversations until
recently a couple months ago he reached
out to me and brought up the fact that
the miranda accounts hadn't been as
active as they used to be and how he
wanted to help me do more social media
stuff so he sent me a whole bunch of
edited photos that he had in a folder
ready to go for miranda he told me about
a bunch of funny tweets he wanted to
post and he let me know that he had
experience working in social media he
really vetted for himself and because
i'd known him for so many years i was
over exhausted and i don't have all the
time i used to have to run on my social
media i thought you know what this might
be a good situation to test run this and
see if this could work out this wouldn't
be the first time i had hired a fan i
love hiring my fans for many reasons one
they're super freaking talented two they
know me better than anybody and three i
love supporting their dreams and
passions in any way that i can i've
hired my fans to design merch i've hired
fans to go on tour with me i've hired
fans to edit things for me and how
hiring my employees works is i usually
do a little test run to see how it goes
if it goes well then i hire them
officially through my company and they
are paid legally through the corporation
it was no different for him i wanted to
do a little test run if it went well
then i wanted to hire him so i gave him
access to my account and he started
tweeting stuff for me and pretty quickly
there was a tweet that was posted that
was problematic this was my fault he
sent me a very long list of a ton of
different things he wanted to post and i
did not look over it closely enough i
did not review it closely enough i
remember the moment when i saw all these
things i was breastfeeding my son and i
kind of just scrolled through i was like
yeah go for it have fun i trust you and
when he posted it i put zero blame on
him at all it was my fault i knew better
than to let someone else tweet for me i
should have reviewed closely every
single thing that was going to come out
of miranda's mouth i let him know that i
loved him he did a great job it was my
fault not his i publicly apologized for
the tweet i deleted the tweets that were
posted that weren't posted from me i let
him know that i was upset that people
were disappointed in me and then he said
he logged out of the account and that
was the end of it that was the last i
heard from him until he sent me the
message saying he was really upset with
me and that is when i then responded and
got the message from his mom i care
about him so much just like i care about
all my fans that i've interacted with
over the years and i wish him nothing
but success and happiness and love i
don't know what he's going through right
now but i don't want him to hurt anymore
he made it very clear in his video that
he wants to move on from this and be
separated from this whole situation so
let him have that and let me have the
same it absolutely breaks my heart to
see people saying negative things about
me interacting with my fans based on
this situation i love talking to my fans
i love interacting with my fans my fans
are many different ages so yes there are
some teenagers but there's also adults i
love supporting them supporting their
passions learning about them in the same
way that you like to do that for me to
me you aren't just my fans you're my
friends we all have seen me cry way too
many times on this channel about things
i probably should have kept to myself i
definitely over share and i have
definitely over shared with fans when
they have asked me what's wrong or ask
me how i'm feeling or try to console me
when i'm feeling down i definitely have
overshared in the past with them and
talked with them a little too much when
i should have kept things to myself or
talk to family or close friends instead
there are plenty of other stupid
mistakes i've made in my past that i've
learned from and grown from there are
plenty of other jokes i've made in my
career that seemed appropriate at the
time but now i realize we're never
appropriate to begin with i've learned
from these things and i will continue to
learn from them and grow from them to
become the best me that i can possibly
be i've lived my life on the internet
for you guys all to watch for over 12
years i love my job but one of the
difficult parts of my job is that i am
very much put underneath a microscope
and any and all mistakes i ever make are
definitely shown and blasted to
thousands and sometimes millions of
people all over the world that's not an
easy thing to deal with however i'm
really grateful for that over the past
12 years you guys have been really
wonderful helping me learn and grow to
be a better person you've given me
helpful critiques educated me when i was
ignorant told me how to say things more
appropriately and i can't even tell you
how grateful i am for that because of
you i have become a better person the
person i am today as a 33 year old
mother is not the person i was when i
started youtube so many years ago but
over the last month i've received a lot
of criticism that isn't the type of
constructive criticism i've received
over the last decade it is more just
hateful and cruel and the things that
are being said about me are absolutely
horrendous no i should have never sent a
fan underwear how stupid am i no i
definitely should have never given him
access to my twitter account and no i
shouldn't have talked to him as often as
i did but i am not a monster i am not a
groomer and i shouldn't kill myself be
careful with the words you choose to use
because i have learned time and time
again that words definitely matter and
your words can hurt people and they can
affect people in a very negative way and
i just hope that that's a lesson we can
all learn in this situation i never
meant to cause anyone who feels affected
by this any pain we're in the middle of
a global pandemic and it is scary and i
just want to say i am so sorry if this
situation made any of you feel more
stressed or uncomfortable or sad than
you already do because of all the
horrible things that are currently going
on in our world i love you guys thank
you so much for taking the time to watch
this and i will see you very soon

# Game Theory Transcript Apology

gtheory = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript("CtmtEgSADgs")

for i in gtheory:
    print(i['text'])
hello internet uh welcome to the couch
video that i never expected uh that we'd
have to make i am literally headed out
the door and to the airport in like 45
minutes but i felt like i needed to sit
down on the couch and address a very
important issue that i've seen come up
in the last
48 hours
i i guess by the time this video goes
live might be closer to 72 we're going
to try to get this out the door as fast
as possible but anyway very recently
since our last episode
a few days ago we posted this the latest
episode about our good old buddy fnaf
discussing the latest book in the series
felix the shark not a particularly great
book but also not the worst in the
series looking through this book we
found several details that i thought
were pretty darn interesting clues that
seem to be pointing towards the
existence of some sort of fnaf arg that
never got off the ground or maybe was
hidden out there in the ether that no
one had actually stumbled across yet so
in that video i asked you the fnaf fan
base and fellow theorists to look into
the game files of the fnaf 3 mobile
gameport because that was explicitly
mentioned in the novel or
to any locals of towns that were
mentioned in the book itself to let us
know if we had maybe missed something
about the geography of these local towns
at least that was my intention in making
this video i mean arg's happen all the
time and we've covered them before in
episodes like the inscription series or
wilbur so it's arg so
why would this one be any different over
the years you as the community have dug
up all kinds of clues for us and so i
was hoping hey our collective hive mind
would be able to do it again i figured
that people who knew the history of the
franchise and this channel would act in
a safe and responsible way when it came
to looking into something like this and
admittedly
millions of you did there are millions
of views on that video and the vast
majority of you either just watched it
and kind of let it circulate through a
youtube feed or you know you maybe dug
through a couple of game files whatever
unfortunately a few
hundred of you it's hard to gauge the
actual numbers of this thing but
whatever the number was too many some
people actually called the actual places
of businesses in the towns that were
referenced in the book according to our
subreddit one place of business actually
received enough annoying phone calls
that they actually had to shut off their
phones see this
this is me internally screaming right
now just to be absolutely crystal clear
beyond a reasonable doubt stop
please stop i don't know if you can tell
but i was not expecting this and
honestly this issue caught all of us uh
off guard i never wanted or intended
anyone to bother real people and it's
never ever acceptable to harass an
individual or a place of business period
and a story and here's the thing i don't
think most of you were intending this
even if you were calling these places up
but consider this you are a single
person researching an online mystery but
if say a hundred other people
researching that same online mystery all
called the same phone number asking the
exact same question
yeah that's gonna get bad in a hurry so
this is me formerly saying to those
business owners those members of the
community individuals who may have felt
harassed or burned by this i am sorry i
am so so sorry it was never my intention
to cause issues for people or businesses
and again to the loyal theorists
watching this video stop cannot make
that clear enough i appreciate your
enthusiasm but this is not the way to do
things it is never never acceptable to
call someone or their place of business
to look for lore in a video game and
never ever ever post addresses or phone
numbers even for publicly listed
businesses it's just not appropriate and
as someone who's had to endure that
level of harassment in the past it is
not something that i would ever wish on
anyone it's totally inappropriate for
anyone but especially this community the
game theorist community which i consider
to be smart and respectful so even if
you mean well just stop i appreciate it
but now is the time to call this one off
so now that we've gotten the most
important message out there into the
universe i want to lay a few solutions
for the future because just addressing
the issue here doesn't really get down
to the root of the problem or how we can
prevent this moving forward because
here's the thing i love air g's you
clearly love args they are some of the
most fun content that we get to cover on
these channels i mean even food theory
got itself a freaking arg with omega
mart and we are gonna keep covering them
like we've done many times in the past
with inscription and fortnite this whole
time i keep asking myself what happened
here if we had done an episode on the
gravity falls arg back when that was
still going on which i even call out in
the video in question would things have
been different because that gravity
falls energy also required people to
share clues online and act as a global
community it required them to go to real
world locations to find real world
treasure and let's be honest if anything
args are becoming more mainstream
because everything from classic science
fiction to sitcom seems like it has an
energy coming out we as a set of
channels whose whole shtick is to talk
about mysteries and video games tv and
movies need to be able to discuss these
sorts of things happening in the media
around us that's when the solution hit
me there's no protocol in place we've
never been taught officially the rules
and etiquette of doing an arg a puzzle
that crosses from the online world into
the real world and this fnaf arg just
wound up being the first one that a lot
of you were exposed to and hopefully
maybe you just weren't aware of the
etiquette of solving these sorts of
puzzles etiquette that is built in with
the express purpose of avoiding these
sorts of problems that happen when the
internet and the real world collide
there are great ways to make args but
there are equally great ways to solving
args so how do we move forward in a safe
way education talking openly about this
and just coming up with a written list
of stuff that we all just have an
inherent understanding that we follow i
honestly think that the vast majority of
people out there who were calling up
places of business or looking for clues
in real life were doing so earnestly
they had no ill intent they were just
not realizing that this was out of
bounds to call a place of business to
ask him about a video game it was wrong
but that's a far cry from malicious they
didn't know the rules of these sorts of
games so i want to make it very clear
that if and when we reference args on
the channel that there is going to be a
clear set of guidelines that every
single person should be aware of and
follow i'll actually reference this
video many times if we ever do something
like this in the future we've never had
this sort of issue come up in the past
but now that it's here it's time that we
move forward as responsible human beings
we set expectations for ourselves our
community and hopefully for the wider
internet and i'm doing this right here
on the channel instead of posting this
as a bulleted list on reddit or on
twitter mostly because i want to make
sure that all of you who saw that
original video have the best shot
possible of seeing this video as well to
make it very clear that our first
priority as an online community as
theorists and as puzzle solvers is to
act safely and responsibly and if you
think that we've missed anything here
like i said we kind of rushed through
this everyone on the team kind of
brainstormed this very quickly but
please put it down in the comments we'll
add it to the official list first and
absolutely most importantly never ever
ever publish someone's private
information online even if you think
there's the slightest remotest
possibility that it could be associated
with an arg that is called doxing and it
is probably the biggest internet-wide
no-no period end of story spoiler alert
there are gonna be no clues in there
rule two and associated with that last
point stick to publicly available
information no hacking or uncovering
something that involves accessing
private information about a person or
business i know it's exciting args feel
like this big exciting mystery and it's
like i'm living out my hacker fantasies
but remember they are games that are
meant to be played with the public so
keep them in the public sphere rule
number three some args including very
famous ones like the gravity falls arg
will require you to go to real world
locations or some representative of your
puzzle-solving team to go to a
real-world location these will almost
always in fact they should always be
public spaces and places that do not
require you to interact with a person go
on to any private property or otherwise
disturb someone else's life be safe in
these situations regardless of any
evidence that you might see never go to
a place that you wouldn't feel
comfortable going to in everyday life
never enter private property and yes
that abandoned warehouse or old pizzeria
or whatever is private property it is
not acceptable for you to go there or
you know another shorthand for this is
if you've ever been to an escape room
they say the same thing the clues are
gonna be obvious they're gonna be in
front of you do not break stuff to try
and find a hidden clue there is no
hidden clue and all you would have done
is broken stuff rule number four things
like business addresses and phone
numbers are indeed listed online
publicly and so talking about them is
technically not doxing important
distinction to make but it's not okay to
call those private businesses about
anything other than doing business with
them if you're calling domino's make
sure you're calling dominoes for some
delicious pizza and not asking them
whether they belong to the freddy
fazbear's pizzeria universe if you're
doing it assume that a handful of other
people is doing it and while one phone
call might not constitute harassment a
couple hundred phone calls does whether
that's intentional or not and finally
rule number five which is kind of a
corollary of rule number four find one
central place to solve args so people
aren't trying to repeatedly do the same
stuff find your like-minded group of
puzzle solvers and theorists unite
together reddit discord great places to
do this sort of thing but taking over
unrelated boards or spaces to dig into
an energy not okay it should go without
sand but we would never cover an energy
on this channel that involved violating
any of those sorts of guidelines it's
true sometimes we may not have all the
steps of an energy pre-solved when we
publish a video because we think it's a
fun mystery that's fun to solve together
as a community that said there is no
lore no interesting animatronic
discovery that would be worth violating
anyone's privacy or disrespecting other
people in the real world or online i
hope that we can all move forward doing
things that are this exciting but more
importantly safe again
really didn't see this one coming
especially given our long history of
covering energies but hey
now that it's here it's incredibly
important to me that this community be a
place where we stay responsible so again
i am so sorry to everyone and anyone
who's been affected by this whole thing
and to the rest of you watching i
appreciate you taking the time to watch
this please if you know someone who saw
that original video but might not have
seen this one send it over to them very
important that everyone gets this
message across it wasn't a game theory
but this one was an important video for
the theorist community and to all other
aspiring puzzle solvers out there so
thank you for watching stay safe and as
always stay curious

for i in sdawson:
    print(i['text'])
hey what's up you guys okay um I don't
really know how to do this video I
didn't really plan it out I didn't like
write it down because I didn't want to I
wanted it to be really from my heart I
don't want to script it which I probably
should have because I'll probably be
rambling a lot but just know it's it's
heartfelt rambling first of all I'm not
doing this video for money or I'm not
putting hands on this video there was
like a three second ad for my movie but
that's cuz that's all my video isn't I
can't do anything about that
losing my hands a lot that means I'm
nervous okay
sitting on my hands this video is is an
apology and it's not a fake apology I'm
not nobody told me to do this if
anything people tell me not to do this
or like she don't talk about this she's
gonna raise more attention to it it's
just gonna and but I want to I want to
raise attention to it because I want to
turn this around into a learning
experience because you know a lot of
people watch my videos and and a lot of
people can learn from my mistakes a lot
of you guys probably don't know what's
going on or why thank you mister you
probably think I had nude pics release
which is not what happened
that is not what I'm talking about I'm
talking about something bigger okay okay
I just broke a toilet okay I actually
broke the toilet okay okay okay that
happened I'm not editing it out this is
real this is real okay so this past
future I'm gonna have to pay for that
this past few days there's been a lot
going on on Twitter and Tumblr and a lot
of other places that my mom doesn't know
how to find it and and basically saying
that I am racist first of all I'm not
racist but
this video is not me defending myself or
telling you why I'm not resisting I
might look like people guys though it's
not that this video is me apologizing
because I understand why some people
think that you know it's over the last I
don't need to for a long time over the
last like seven years I've once in a
while like once a year I get kind of a
bombarded on Twitter with you she enjoys
ashamed races then they'll post screen
caps and blog posts and all these things
and I ignore it and I just say I'm not
racist I ignore and even in the bottom
of my heart I'm kind of like uh maybe I
maybe I have done something to offense
it maybe I did go too far no because my
audience isn't offended so I'm fine so
honestly what happened today was I read
it I actually read a blog about me and
about all the [ __ ] I've done and I read
the tweets usually I just ignore them or
write something sassy or I read them and
really [ __ ] me up and really broke my
heart and I'm glad that it happened
because now I can learn and move on and
hopefully help others who are uneducated
and ignorant when it comes to this type
of [ __ ] basically what happened was some
screen caps were going around and some
blog posts about me doing blackface now
for those of you who don't know what
blackface is blackface is something that
they used to do a long time ago white
people would you know make their face
black and they paint their lips why and
they make fun of black people and it was
really cruel and horrible and I'm gonna
be honest I didn't really know what it
was
up until literally a month ago I knew
the term I didn't quite know any that
the historical you know background and
all any of that I just knew in my head I
was like that's not what I'm doing
because what I'm doing is I'm playing
Wendy Williams which a lot of the screen
caps that are going around her of me
playing Wendy Williams and me playing
Raven Symone and
Kris Pilon stuff so for me in my head I
was like going on just becoming the
character I'm not making fun of them for
being black I'm just looking like that
using bronzer making myself look like
calling or doing like Wendy which didn't
offend my lights I never got comments
about it it was fine but it that the
biggest thing I learned was that just
because it doesn't offend my audience
doesn't mean it isn't offending mass
amounts of people outside of my audience
and that's what I should be more aware
of once again I did not write this down
you mumbling ago I got a lot of
different directions but please stay
with me I promise there's an ending the
complete the pole toilets gonna break
that'll be the ending anyways um so yes
I made a mistake
and I should not have done that
shouldn't have put makeup on my face to
look black I shouldn't have done it it
was stupid
it wasn't mean-spirited it wasn't
malicious it was just stupid and
offensive and a lot of people are sad
about it and I totally get it I totally
get it
and I think that's that's been the
hardest part is that I finally like you
know there's a squirrel on Twitter who
has really given me [ __ ] over the last
few years and and I always ignore it I
think I blocked her alone twenty I just
said like I want to hear it I'm gonna
finally read a couple of her posts I was
like damn you know she's right you know
I don't think she thinks I'm a racist
person I don't think I think there's a
lot of people who know I'm not a racist
person but that I was just ignorant and
stupid and I think that's you know a
lesson I needed to learn was that I
can't I can't expect everybody to just
be like oh she's not racist he's just
being funny like I can't just expect
everybody because not everybody knows
who I am or watches my [ __ ] they just
see those screen caps they see those
blog posts and they just assume holy
[ __ ] this guy's I can't get a member
kalium you know and they have every
right to assume that because those
Blancos really bad so I'm apologizing I
deleted
all of the videos that I could find of
me doing anything that offensive you
know and I'm trying you know I'm trying
to to Milan and and to hopefully you
know I think the other thing too is that
I I care about you guys so much and I
know that sounds cheesy and I know every
youtuber says that I genuinely care so
[ __ ] much about you so [ __ ] I mean
I flew myself out here to New York and
I'm meeting all of you guys this way I
paid for I'm meeting all of you guys
this weekend because I want to because I
care and I care about you guys so much
that I should care about what I'm
teaching you and what I'm teaching you
is it's okay to paint yourself black
because well that's just funny to play
care like if I'm teaching you that it's
wrong and I am sorry because I care for
you too much to teach you things like
that um what else do I want to cover I'm
sorry my brain is melted I've been and
literally I I was on a plane when I was
reading all these blog posts and stuff
and I was started panicking I like try
and throw up a little bit my mouth yeah
I just I wanted to make a video right
then but I was in a bit of a plane and
then the man next to me was coughing any
kind of threw up a little bit and it was
weird and I'm sorry I really don't know
how to say I'm embarrassed you know I I
should have done that and you know
listen there's a lot of videos I've done
that are offensive I've done a lot of
jokes about things people don't joke
well I mean you know I grew up I was
raised on Sarah Silverman Lisa
Lampanelli South Park I was raised on
all that offensive [ __ ] so that's just
my humor and sometimes I forget that you
know there's a line and especially when
your audience is young you probably
shouldn't cross it too much and I did
and I've deleted I've deleted a lot of
videos over the last couple hours that I
felt crossed the line too much and I'm
embarrassed and I'm sad that I made
those videos so I don't know what else
to say because I don't know what this is
how a fake and cheesy so I'm just gonna
end it with I'm sorry and I wanna I did
write down a couple people's names
because
I didn't want this I wanted this to feel
like a personal video less like a public
apology I don't want to do like when
Chris Brown was like I'm sorry for being
Rihanna and I don't believe in like I
don't want to do that kind of a video I
wanted this to be a little more personal
so I wrote down some names on Twitter of
people who were really offended and sad
by seeing me doing blackface so I wrote
them down I wanted to apologize to
Fedora hippie it's a good name I like it
mage in pink and Simone Fiasco those are
just a few I wrote down who were really
upset by it and then also of course
Francesca who I talked about earlier in
the video sorry you know
genuinely this isn't fake I'm just I'm
sorry and I think the thing that really
was hard too is you know the movie just
came out and a review came out about it
that wasn't even about the movies about
me because the movie is not effective
it's not it's not any more offensive
than [ __ ] neighbors or any of those
movies but this reviewer tore me apart
and basically called me horrible
horrible things including racist because
of my videos because of my youtube stuff
not because of the movie because there's
the racism in the movie there's a black
hole boat eating his own [ __ ]
I didn't cast him I didn't ask for a
black hole oh I [ __ ] auditioned every
race every kind of hobo the funniest one
was this black guy named Garvey who's
[ __ ] hilarious so I kicked him it
wasn't like a thing where I was like you
know what I mean but because of my
videos now every choice I make people
are going to jump right to racist and
that is the punishment that I get that
is deserved and it's going to take me a
long time to to get away from that and
it sucks but I you know that's what it's
what I got to deal with and hopefully at
some point in my career I will be able
to have people not look at me like that
like the offensive shocking YouTube
because I'm not a nice person
I just want to make funny [ __ ] and the
movies funny it's not it's yeah but now
a lot of people aren't gonna give it a
chance because I think it's gonna be
horrible and offensive and it's really
something that's not about them of you
by the way don't I'm not trying to
promote it dear God now it looks like I
am okay okay
moving I love you guys thank you for
watching sorry for anybody who have ever
offended you no sorry
I'm gonna go oh god is there anything
I'm living out I don't I don't have to
make another bit because this is what I
do this is what I do I forget to say
stuff that I make a hole and I was gonna
turn into time okay
I think I said it all

Jeep Mega : Matpat is one of the only YouTubers who takes responsibility for his actions.
Pistin Cup: How about just go inside the restaurant, instead of calling. That might help, but I don’t know enough about ARG’s to say this with a confident smile on my face
Andy Smith: I'm not really surprised this happened. This happened early on in the fandom. I remember this kind of thing going on after the first game was released and there were some photoshopped images floating around.
Cursed Ocelot: See MatPat is responsible, he takes accountability for the fact it was his influence that at least started the incident, quickly sends a message to stop it, and then starts to discuss a solution so that it doesn't happen again. He's not just someone who pretends to care and be sorry, he's sincere and so he tries to properly fix the problem.
The Super Eevee: First non-fake apology video I have seen
jakamacapikipi: wow matpat, thanks for telling us the truth that FNAf was made by PETA, i hope markiplier doesnt notice that the info was leaked and bomb us all
zorockdark: I just wish Mat Pat would cover the Cyberpunk 277 magenta ARG
Valor1 Omega: I have to be honest I think he only made this video because he didn&#39;t want to get sued by the pizza place for instigating the harassment accident or not.<br><br>I wouldn&#39;t be at all surprised if they had their lawyer call him up and told him to get ahead of this.
Woopslap: Respect for Mat for owning up to this
BJT: You know that feeling when you&#39;re standing next to your sibling or friend while they&#39;re getting mad scolded by their parents or guardians? That&#39;s how I feel watching this video.
Partially Human: What a ARG? LOL
Hailey Wells: I feel like me and my siblings are getting lectured frome my dad
Wesley Whiteside: MatPat is literally sweating
Néysa C: I&#39;m pretty sure this is a lecture for the kids
Mac Wade: Great Video MatPat!
ryan pennington: Anyone else get here from the Alex bale arg video, if you know you know
Lah4ina: weird thought but matpat should look into marble hornets someday, or general creepypastas that would be pretty interesting
someone•_•: This is an apology from all of your theorists / online children:<br>Dear dadpat, we are very sorry that we violated your laws and it will never happen again, from all of your online children.
ソウルブレイカー: Fans did go to far, so I don&#39;t blame matpat
anabee: This feels like a teacher telling all of us off
Gaming Creator: Matt Patt, you sound like you&#39;d make a school<br>-compliment
Koji: yall out of pocket lmao
Eloy Garza: Can you please do a theory on Human Fall Flat?
THATone caster: Wtf is an ARG?
LifePressed: W dadpat
Noah with the hard R: I don&#39;t think I will
Harley Quinn: my god children are stupid
Ashiixz: its sad someone like matpat had to make this. though im glad that it was genuine
Vaxique: Fall
I AM CRINGE FOOT: this is all matpat fault
Prof Deezy: &quot;We&#39;re sorry&quot; &quot;Sorry&quot;
derpley: Why is he sweating so much?
TinySuurusRex: DadPat vibes with him getting onto us but still staying responsible for his own actions and taking credibility for ours. This is why he&#39;s the best youtuber EVER and the single most unproblematic person ever. We love you DadPat!
RCJS 85: THE AFTON FAMILY IS REAL
SYO: I am not even from the US but I have been a fan since my brother introduced me to the channel in 2011 and I can&#39;t be more proud with the way MatPat solve and handle this issue 👏 Bravo
Jace Haley: You weren&#39;t expecting this from the demographic?
Last Name First Name: it&#39;s ok, i get it, human error, etc., stuff like that.
Emily Kveldulv: Honestly, kinda prefer couch mat
Mallk238: Hell, the gravity falls arg could even be considered breaking one or two of these guidelines when it happened. But hirsch and his crew admitted it was bc they had never really done something like that before! But they were also on top of the whole thing and tried to keep kids from going into dangerous places as much as possible. <br><br>But even in the end, the final prize turned out to be on private property. And even though alex hirsch HAD asked for permission before putting it there…he didn’t realize that there was a bit of a land dispute going on and they inevitably had to move it. But as far as i know, everyone who played in the arg all tried to be responsible about it and older fans were able to coach younger ones on what they should or shouldn’t do. <br><br>I feel like fnaf’s fanbase skews so young now that the odds of adult fans keeping an eye out for the safety of the younger fans is minimal, so for a lot of them this is something they’ve never seen before<br><br>I still hope to one day go out to confusion hill to see the bill’s “final resting place” <b>sigh</b> if only it weren’t across the country
Luke Huizenga: It&#39;s pretty depressing that a nontrivial number of subscribers legitimately don&#39;t understand basic social guidelines.
Very Large man: I love how he’s talking to us like a disappointed teacher
Whithered Bonnie: I did see this one coming
🍄🌱💫Aesthetic_Mushroom💫🌱🍄: He really meant &quot;I&#39;m not mad, I&#39;m just dissapoited.&quot;😭
Norma Quintero: This is a piece of garbage never stop everyone don&#39;t listen and just dislike this video
Illerhumpy: &#39;What happened here&#39; ...Well first and probably the only point to make here is this, what did you expect to happen when like 80 % of your audience is actual 11 year olds and kids around that age group. <br>Beside the top comment on this video alone is someone saying &#39;matpat is like a dad with a million kids&#39; that alone tells you others see it as well.
Ri Ri: walbad0
PogMan: Jesus christ
Anthony Fitzpatrick: Matpat I&#39;m your biggest fan!
FNAFfanatic: Matpat, im a new viewer, ive been watching some of your older videos, and I am worried for some of the kids that dont know how to tell the difference between fiction and reality. Thank you, thank you for addressing this.
Video Game Sanctuary: Videos that could of been 1 minute long....
Daisy Ruiz: Whats an arg
Martin (no really, martin): Okay but what if the ARG is directly involving a Domino&#39;s shop?  😬
Samuel Bacon: Guys I found some amazing things that might help with the things regarding the shark from the Fazbear frights book  I found 2 creepy shark statues found in these locations. 1st one is located in Victoria, Australia in some sort of amusement park or warehouse and the 2nd one is located in Lake Neuchatel under the water. A group of divers  found this while exploring the lake underwater.
drippybird: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcTucyScYMw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcTucyScYMw</a>
ItotheCtotheE: please don&#39;t sue me - mat
FracturedDash: fnaf security breach gameplay is different 🤨😉👌👌
Southern Frederick: cheese
Maddruss: This reminded me after the fake fnaf pizzeria building back in 2015 and everyone called up pizza chains in the area lol
Drew Luckey: EVERY ONE WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD. WOULDN&#39;T YOU AGREE? NOTHING LAST FOR EVER.<br>ELTSAC EHT NI NAM EHT HGIH.
Adventures of the cosmos: This is your fault you decided to make that video and decided to publish it on YouTube without a thought
Ro Zeel: For some reason, Mat talking just sounds so satisfying.
THE MEGA KNIGHT: He looks like he screamed a minute ago then went on camera
DJ-Proto: Having to endure your viewer&#39;s stupidly must be infuriating.
Harol Foxx: Lol
bulletoffire: After this video: You know the rules, and so do I
NewJerseyRaver: “Not mad, just disappointed” Level 100
M15 - DALUMPINES, SHAN ANDREI S.: LOL! When you said you want help from community and mentioned &quot;Reddit&quot;, I saw this one coming
The wall stalkers: this is super random but u so sound like my dad and I like it
Abdo Ahmed: .
Dux Unhinged: Fancy jacket to be wearing in the middle of June LOL

Kyle kondowe: JellyBean Gang here<br><br><br><br><br>Bet u weren&#39;t expecting to see me here <br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Its not a mistake its a masterpiece
Miles Edgeworth: I think we all know why matpat never gets cancelled on twitter or gets into legal trouble<br>He actually apologizes and settles debates against him before they turn bad<br>Great job and smart moves , matpat
E Bam: could alex and steve repopulate the earth
Shaena Allred: I didn&#39;t this happen with a place called Freddy&#39;s Pizza when we were talking about something like it was a real place and everybody called it
Giorgio _: Bruh-
B Mo: You are awesome!
Neon Wolf: I didn’t participate in the arg sadly but I honestly am also gonna say sorry to anyone who felt harassed
little red: THIS is the most genuine apology I have ever seen<br>if this man ever gets cancelled I will comet a crime. <br>mad respect to dadpat for making a video as soon as possible and calling out his mistakes. [unlike some creators]
BackwoodBB: Just stop ✋ 🛑
Ellie Fausch: if ollie ever gets in trouble he is going to get lectures like this
Bee Hamato: Here are the rules if someone need to read them again : <br><br>1) NEVER PUBLISH PRIVATE INFO.<br><br>2) STICK TO PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFO.<br><br>3) BE SAFE IN PUBLIC. DO NOT TREPASS<br><br>4) DO NOT CALL PRIVATE BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUALS.<br><br>5) FIND ONE CENTRAL PLACE ONLINE FOR ARC DISCUSSION.<br><br>Hope that this list will help you, please respect those rules, stay safe theorists and be responsible ❤️
Rin: We’re sorry dadpat
trippiehippie526: Tf happened?
bean man: I&#39;m always scared when he starts the video on the couch-
Ida Ariane: I am seriously confused by how someone thought fnaf was real life and who thought harassing shop owners bc of a video game?? Damn..
Aaliandré Kennedy: But
mighty  c: Mattpat  was there  in answer   to  the  question
The1AndOnly[REDACTED]: We just took a full 180
Luna Snow: DadPat
Hacker !?: Whats an arg
Drascia: A rule that I might add that goes along with being safe in public: use the buddy system. Especially don&#39;t go anywhere alone at night, no matter how public and populated it may be. Even if you just bring a friend or family member who neither knows nor cares about the ARG, at least you have someone there with you in case - goddess forbid - something bad does happen.
Thomas Maher: you cant just call up freddy&#39;s steakburgers and ask for fnaf lore. i already did that as a joke, but then i ordered food so dosen&#39;t really count.
SK0RP: Has anyone seen that video where the find the shark statue in green water abandoned maybe that’s the arg?
SmileyFaceProductions: This feels like watching your other siblings getting chewed out.
Shadow Boba: This feels like your step dad is lecturing your sibling and you and apologizing another parent because of their internet children behavior
Silent Fox 1: matpat is the best ever
baiku dajel: This is one of the YouTube apology ever.
THeDoMeTB: i have read the first few comments and watched the vid and even though i just watched the other fnaf theory, i feel like saying: sorry Dadpat, i didnt mean to do it
Shade squad: So apparently there’s a fnaf game/idk what but it’s called tearleader or something like that maybe it’s a game that didn’t well be created
train animator: i dare you to a do a theory on train sim world 2
Star⭐️: Matt is probably the most unpromblematic person ever and he takes accountable for foolish fans
Deb Boedeker: Did you know Mat is 35
Sergej Dragutinović: Next, the One Piece ARG ;).
mOthErAlice: i know i&#39;m late but sorry datpat :(
Crispy: So did they have battletoads?
Dark: Wait this happened 😳 <br>I legit had no idea
Jay Dowell: The fact this video was needed is quite frankly sad. New to ARGs or not. This stuff is pretty much common sense.
SuperLplayzSOMETHING: LOVE YOU DAD
CKLounge: Matpat getting real is both scary and really cool of him. Most of his fan base is young and doesn’t know any better. He doesn’t necessarily blame anyone, but instead tries to solve the problem. Pretty sure he has a son now, and if so, he’s gonna be a great dad.
lycan brown: Idk what’s goin on but I’ll never get mad at you Matt pat… you know why. Cause I’m not a in my basement waiting for you to fail like me😋
XTRDDS: Matpat can wear any hair style
Andrew Ramey: this is apart of the matpat arg keep callin guys<br><br><br>(Yes this is a joke) <br><br><br><br>(Don’t call the restaurants)
LaiLai: I did think it was odd that it wasn’t stated to be respectful in the original video so I was kinda expecting this lmao
Ryder stewart: This is actually the best apology video I&#39;ve ever seen
VicusCarry Np: What is an ARG?
Andrew Wrong: Another couch theory!!
TotalTerrorizert: Guys, I found out that in Five Nights at Freddys 3 the shadow bonnie mini game soundtrack is a slowed down never used music for call of duty zombies mystery box Plus love the vids mat
gilgerts: I feel like MatPat should&#39;ve known this would happen. Pretty sure things like this have happened before.
The Grish Plays: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=6m49s">6:49</a> Yes, doxxing is just how to be cruel online. (Wikimedia makes high-class users with access to private data like IPs sign a NDA) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=7m08s">7:08</a> Yeah, by that point ... is it worth it to look for private data? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=7m48s">7:48</a> Trangessing morals (and likely laws)... That&#39;s actually something that causes IRL consequences. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=8m25s">8:25</a> Alright, now that&#39;s bad. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=8m53s">8:53</a> Centralization is needed greatly. So I&#39;d agree with all 5 of them.
The Man Of Sex: This is way better than Travis&#39; apology ngl
kiwikittyman18: Who misses the <br>Fnaf theorys when they where this.. <br><br><a href="https://youtu.be/GPugMe4ePEw">https://youtu.be/GPugMe4ePEw</a><br><br>second <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=2m33s">2:33</a>
PrezMaks: no.
TheCreepypro: props for laying down ground rules because whether we realize it or not we need them
The Nonfictional Explainer: What on earth did you expect would happen when 80% of your audience are 8 year old kids who think that fnaf is actually real and you tell those kids to investigate stuff for &quot;&quot;LORE&quot;&quot;&quot; not knowing that the arg doesn&#39;t exist
Ze'mer: What an arg hunt?
ThePaleRiderDeath: Make a Game Theory ARG. It can be a training wheels ARG you design to make sure everyone understands what needs to be done. I imagine nobody could make a crazier ARG than you anyway.
bobzilla0914: Question regarding rule no.3 was it? If the privately owned abandoned buildings are no longer privately owned and thus falls under public domain would it be okay to snoop around then? cause alot of places are like that in my place of origin..
Ian Percival: &quot;is this the fnaf arg hunt&quot;... &quot;no this is Patrick&quot;
christopher yochelson: Soon nfts will have an arg
ItsMehMillie : so theres 3 books, the silver eyes, the twisted ones and the fourth closet. they have charlotte Emily, the puppet. what if john is charlotte &#39;s twin brother that she thought was taken when it was her. and also what if we wind back a bit, to when security breach is around maybe like 1980&#39;s or something, but what if thats john when he&#39;s younger! Gregory isn&#39;t his real name (i like just thought of this)
chain unleashed: What if, now this is just a theory, but what if the places being harassed actually had clues but was paid off to act like they have no idea what&#39;s going on???
Reed Fether: This gives off I&#39;m not mad just disappointed parent vibes😢😭
mind sweeper 20: Now, while a fnaf arg is most likely never gonna happen, I do have an idea for a possible fnaf arg (or in this idea/case, agr.)<br> Basically, many games that are not entirely connected/unconnected with fnaf, like rpg, puzzle, adventure, survival, etc., and the games won&#39;t have anything too obvious. That is until you look within files of the game, where you can find clues to the lore, upcoming games, and maybe even a portion or two of a bigger picture. <br><br>But who am I kidding? It&#39;s merely an idea.
cooljtoosaucy: God Loves You Remember That ❤✝🙏🏾🙏🏾
Elijah Ruiz: Hey mat pat I commented on the anddys farm video pls check it out
Ticcy12: Ive had 0 info abt this before pressing play on the video yet The second u started this video. I knew exactly what happened. this has always happened with fnaf. We all know the story of freddys pizzaria. And no not freddy fazbears. A real freddys pizzaria that was harassed with phone calls back in 2015. i thought we had learned our lesson
Benjo Lambertino: Mat once again apologising for his fan bace 😂😂
bird_bruh: If their is another FNAF arg, maybe see if 1-555-FAZ-FAZBEAR, because In the newspaper clipping of FNAF one, it says to call that number to apply to the job
GrimSkys21: I feel like a child who laughed at a teacher who didn&#39;t mean to be mean LIL
A Merr: I think the confusion comes from the book. There was a girl in the book who called places, visited the place and looked around and found a kids body. So I can see where the inspiration came from. But in the same breath we dont live in a book. Thank you Dadpat for the rules you follow.
TommySalami: I am dissapointed that the theorist community has to be talked to like we are children MatPat must feel so bad. I hope we STOP
☆PIXII☆: I just have a suggestion, I know fnaf has a lot of twist and turns but we have never entirely uncovered the Afton family tree..if you have, ignore this comment but figuring out the Afton family tree might be a bit more fun 💚🖤
illumn8n: yeah this is more like a gt live vid but we need to see this<br>and you stole a channel&#39;s outro line, stay curious belongs to its okay to be smart, and ironically, the guy there looks a bit like you
Garrold: I never thought that the animated thinking guy is a real person
Meh: So ummmm....what’s in the box?
kronan dank: love you matpat, awesome that you addressed it asap
Jessica Sprinkles: NEVER! I SHALL KEEP GOING<br>But I won’t bother anyone
Mary Glaze: Did any one else see the paintings in the back green game theory yellow food theory red is there but it’s like half in shot half in not red is film theory what’s blue maybe a hint For a fourth channel or and I looking in to this
BlackDeath 3rdTime'sTheCharm: So what # do I call 😉.
The Trollers: Were probably a ARG
Nothing: I have the prize the dlc
Brandon Smith: Yes father it won’t happen again.
Cyanide _: I love this guy
Grodarados: imagine being a pizzaria owner and yomeone call you are u part of the fnaf arg ? if the owner dont know what fnaf is he would think something like what the f. is fnaf the poor owner
Squeby: i feel like i got in trouble at youth group just watching this and i aint do nothin
Austin Cain: Glad he&#39;s honest but you think he would take the original video down or edit it
I Am Fibroni: I love and understand the purpose of this video. But telling a bunch of little kids not to do something. They’re only gonna do it worse
Tteckeb: E
Pogiforce Plays: So Mat, I have a question about ARGs and solving mysteries, and I&#39;m wondering what you&#39;re thoughts are on the current mystery in Sea of Thieves? A major NPC has been murdered, and Rare has tasked the player base to discover who did it, with many of the clues existing in social media and other real world (although online) locations, rather than just in game.  I think it would be a great thing to put the game theory hivemind to.
Luna Star: Oliver: Dadpat! Dadpat!
Regular Stan: Is this a joke
Regular Stan: Who got hurt?
Nehemiah: This not even his fault
Claramata: As someone who played and researched ARGs YES THIS THIS THIS. Also: bring a buddy for any real world pickups/clue hunts. I once went, alone, at night, through an unfamiliar part of new York City and picked up a package at a random building and now 10 years later I look back like &quot;wow I could have gotten into trouble doing that I should have brought a friend&quot;
LF BP: Nice
Naud van Dalen: Hi, Dominos, you&#39;re my favorite pizza place. And also, do you have anything to do with FNAF?
Naud van Dalen: TLDR: Don&#39;t be stupid, stupid.
Jax L: I just used the internet and google maps nothing crazy
Jax L: You do you Matpat your videos are epic
Bad.At.VideoGames.: How dumb can you be to actually do it
CarlCube: Kinda late, but I think this will help with the security breach lore:<br>I feel like William made Gregory.<br>William made Gregory after the crying child died.<br>That explains something with William or Micheal saying we will put you back together.<br>The glamrock animatronics are trying to bring Gregory back to William or Burntrap
BREAD: Did u shine a black light on the log book
Yourlocalsimpcracked: Bruh. Community what you doing?
appatary8523: FNAF argentinean hunt?
Lotie The Bunny: This is amazing matpat , Kudos to you and respect!!!
YuRanft: Just stop fnaf entirely and do genshin
Joanna: Day 1 of asking you to make a splatoon theory video😀
Beatrice Hawthorne: MatPat address this situation like a dad, even in the tone of his voice and expressions, this is why we love him.<br>(Ps. We are sorry)
Kumobun: Someone made a video explaining the canon fnaf knowledge to that Michael is a robot that William made to bully his son to being scared of robots cause Elisabeth died from circus baby and the nightmares where because of a gas’s leak Afton created for the same reason and the bullying got so far they killed Chris
Rey Perez: Matpat sometimes bro...
Myles Welnetz: Make up your mind! Is the hunt on or not?!
my muffinmcguffin 🍞: I stop watching game theory for like a month an<br>D this is what I come back to?😅
Steamuch: THIS CALLS FOR<br>A RETIREMENT, Matthew.<br>If you have to make this video, that means you shouldn&#39;t have given your mistrusted Stans an idea in the first place. You drove too close to the Sun.<br><br>And I tell you what: I have no empathy to the shady merchants like yourself. Pick your bargain wisely, or someday your Lady Luck would seat you right next to the downfall stories of Jon Jafari, Logan Paul, Felix Kjellberg and Keemstar.
Jonxe.: Dadpat just apologised for his millions of stupid kids… 😂
EvanNotFound XD: omggg i found freddys statueee
bilinas mini: Here’s a suggestion: No attacking or harassing anyone for information they don’t want to share
willowoodz: 6 seasons, a movie, and an ARG
Villads Thyghøj: It feels like im in trouble allthough i havent done anything
anthony miller: Comment comments
SketchyShark: He sounds like my teacher, but in a less boring way. At least it includes stuff about FNAF and lore.
Skorevx: Okay I’ll stop digging in my backyard that’s like 8 states away
Yadriannys Ortiz: HUN
proline hq: Does anyone remember OLD ROOT
Mark Dennnajaw: imagine getting 3.5 million views to say &quot;bro.... chill like wtf&quot; 😭🤣🗣️
TheREALemperorpalpatine  ( loves Lisa Abramowicz ): uh.....ITS YOUR FAULT
Acie LoneWriter: Thank you for apologizing, MatPat, and giving us different solutions. We all really appreciate you!
Mekeninzo Underground: Better rule. If you want to call a pizzeria to ask about ARG&#39;s, buy a pizza first and ask a short, simple question after you purchase it. Want to ask a second question? Buy more pizza.
B2B Gamer: 💪🏾💪🏾 luv him
Angelic Demon: Freddy Fazbears is a real company they have a website don’t. You can check. So no need for phone numbers
Jake Carnahan-Curcio: I feel like this is mostly common sense, but again well worth mentioning.
Joseph Brandon: This was a problem with Pokémon go I thought we figured most of this out
Ulfrick: Don&#39;t forget about a whole book series that is revolved around arg  <br><br>Called the secret  that actually has legit gems you can own by solving the puzzles that are within the book and going to said locations.
Paganjester: I&#39;m waiting for that fan to either bring a gun to the studio or kidnap the developer. Don&#39;t be stupid, stupid.
Juan Luciano: Matpat is legit just worried sorry man 😔
Just_Riley: 👍🏼
Brian W: There’s a Roblox game which is a roleplay which actually goes in a order Not 1 2 3 4 5 SL it’s five nights at Freddy’s
Youtuber Grudge: Wow, that harassment happened? Wow, just wow.
Jakoby Girard: Ok I know this does not go with the video but I have a question so you said that glam rock Freddy might be micheal and Gregory crying child and Elizabeth Vanessa but one question if cc (crying child) is a robot which is how we see him alive how do we see Vanessa alive is she also a robot?
CrazyDiomond: I love that Mat Didn&#39;t include any Merch links or anything in the description other than the Hashtags in this video. Shows how genuinely serious he is about this.
Stephen Gerlach: can you please do videos on something other than FNAF?
Jason Aviles: Faith in humanity = Restored
BOBimus Rex: Sorry Mattpat, but you have no say whatsoever in who I call, or how or what I research. And public information is public information. No one should be made to feel guilty for exposing publicly available information. This is what ARGs are. If you don&#39;t like it, don&#39;t participate.
solanaceae: and THIS is how to deal with incidents like this online. addressing the problem quickly, apologizing and setting out the original, innocent intentions and aiming to be better going forward
Daniel Poop: What&#39;s an ARG?
Julien: I think that Felix might be a reference to that Victorian great white from an abandoned wildlife park. Looking at the tank compared to the cover of Felix The Shark the irl shark is surrounded by formaldehyde. mayhaps Felix is also in formaldehyde. This isnt anything important its just a theory a Fossilized Shark Theory! BTW Im not a tank or shark expert.
TofuTheTapir: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=1m50s">1:50</a> I’m too dumb for that
BOOGERS: If the next FNAF game is based by water that would be pretty epic
Myles Alfama: Just watched the video the other day I didn’t do anything still a great video tho MatPat
Brandon Murdoc: remove the video or you are a liar
Chester Parish: Love matpat.
Maxis Kirane: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=0m32s">0:32</a> exactly in this part i looked the book of fnaf: the silver eyes i have on my dresser XD<br><br>Edit. I bought every book 2 months ago, please don&#39;t spoil me<br><br>Edit #2. I think fazbear frights should end now
BerryNinja: I love the fact SO SO MUCH that you not only talked about the problem but ALSO solutions.. That right there is how you should do it!
Blastingkillers: Dude I feel bad for matpat it&#39;s not his fault and he got canceled
Nile: Typical fnaf fans
Boots McGee: You shouldn’t have to say any of this but is very smart that you are… I don’t understand how anyone would think it was OK to do the things that describing😵‍💫
THE SHREEEW: I think I dream that book because it was like fnaf but with a shark lol
Knight Oscar of Astora : Hey idk if you did a video on this lol but when the animatronics in fnaf 1 jump scare you how does it work???are they carrying a Freddy Fazbear suit with them and stuff you when they jumps are you then bring you to parts and service?or do they jump scare you and drag your body to parts and service and stuff you there?leave a comment if you know (:
lord lem: Here’s a suggestion: No attacking or harassing anyone for information they don’t want to share
M T: After watching the previous FNAF video, seeing this right next to it just gave warrants the Seinfeld theme
Gortis: Fnaf is not your buddy and Scott hates you leave it alone
Lesmiserables: You know it&#39;s too far when MATPAT HIMSELF tells you to stop lol
Shamar Santos: I LOVE that you are teaching us what is right and wrong and I LOVE that you are giving us rules to follow the as a Community we did something wrong (not all of us though) and I LOVE that you are saying to us that it’s ok and guiding us in the right way I LOVE you Mat Pat.
Mr.Marshmallow: stop the video in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=6m13s">6:13</a> :DDDDD<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>sorry :p
Crystalitar: Im in the fandom of Villainous and it has a bit of arg through &quot;in universe&quot; mails. BUT.<br><br>It is AGREED beforehand who sends a mail, what is said, and warns not to have EVERYONE send stuff
Pieter Ryno van Staden: dadpat
FinnWantsToBattle: Matt is just saying “don’t be stupid” in the most polite way possible
Chicken Nuggies: I did not do it but yet after watching this I feel guilty.
KatchaFade Wrldwide: Roblox Scan_Test.DEMO
Jebidiah Bushwell: Gonna go ahead and correct everyone in the comments calling everyone BUT matthew an idiot. Sure these kids are stupid for calling real places, but the biggest idiot has to be matthew for somehow “not realizing” this would happen…<br>Like dude you’ve seen this fanbase and how much they overreact and how crazy they are (flashback to when Scott did the most terrible thing in the world and had a differing political opinion) you should’ve expected this and it’s stupid to act like could’ve never seen this coming.
Kagan N: What is an arg
Billy's Video Gaming Videos: To every chapter you defeat beat different  Toys and the prototype takes part of those tof those toys to make himself stronger  The final chapter you have to defeat the prototype
WillTell: if you&#39;re actually planning on referencing this video in the future I would suggest putting a chapter where you explain the rules of engagement, so to speak, so it&#39;s easier to get straight to it when the FNAF thing is irrelevant. Or just clip/reedit a new video just for those rules.
Benjamin Ressler: Another rule to add is behave as though you are representing your community best foot forward dont be a menace to society while solving puzzles for the lore.
darkneccecties: sorry father matpat
Nathaniel Hamilton: I don’t really see a <b>lot</b> of GT content, but this was definitely the biggest video I’ve seen out of the channel, lots of points for this one
Nathan Longstreet: I’m just imagining a pizza place: “hello?” “Have you heard of five nights at Freddie’s?” “John you take this one” “it’s my 13th today”
Roman: WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zxlasher: This is why u don&#39;t work with randoms especially 3 million randoms<br>this was supposed to be very expected
Logan Entertainment: I made a Fnaf ARG Treasure concept for you Matpat, hope you like it:  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc9-I2d6p9I&amp;t=23s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc9-I2d6p9I&amp;t=23s</a>
FurryFoxFren: This feels like a 5th grade talk right after we misbehaved on a field trip. Except this is more serious.
Super Vermillion: Bro what even is an arg
Oversecus: Ugh, boooriiiing...
reo: a proper response to this situation
Ved Overclocked: Mat kinda got drip. Nice leather jacket! 🔥
K I N G _ R E T A R D: We may be getting smarter but we are getting dumber
Adder 1914: I am so very glad that you decided to create this video. You covered some very serious topics in a professional manner. Many channels completely fail to do this. You made me proud that I am subscribed to a channel that takes these topics seriously.
ReeseMS4: I didn’t do anything. But the way he talked made me feel like I was I trouble and I got a stomach ache lol
Adison Palmer: ayo who your barber faded you up nicely
WallStickers52: This is why I love mat pat
DrGhost: This is why I respect matpat so much
OBDW Games: Glad you actually make the video. Respect earned
Ankit Gope: Hey Matt , Do A Game Theory on the lore of valorant comeon it&#39;s perfect . I am surprised how he haven&#39;t done one yet.
Gaming_Genius: .
bilishu aliss: it&#39;s kinda cute for matpat to be giving his community this set of rules in such a nice and understanding way, it feels like he&#39;s a dad speaking to his kid
Seth Barrett: That moment when MatPat lets loose the theory hounds by accident.
MaKaila Knight: Related to #5 – do your research. If you found a clue or are theorizing about something, chances are someone else has/is too, so look it up first. That&#39;ll cut down the research and prevent the need for having to call anyone (which...why?)
grillywubsubler089: The reason I hate the fnaf community
Gabriela Michlikova: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=2m14s">2:14</a> dad moment
FrogFoodMC: Somebody else already mentioned this but I&#39;ll say it anyway. During videos like this I can&#39;t help but feel like MatPat is your dad and you&#39;ve something wrong, but he&#39;s not angry with you, just disappointed.
jrrmv MLP: Anyone that called and/or harassed all for a video game are stupid.
Enoch's Adventures: didn&#39;t watch; don&#39;t care
iBeastFelix: Best couch video
astrangerthere: God bless u matpat Jesus loves u❤️
Jack Notascam: Maybe change rule 1 to “Don’t tell an audience comprised predominantly of children and child like adults to go solve an ARG, from a mostly toxic fandom, that as far as anyone knows doesn’t actually exist.”
PRO KİNGS: Matpat ı have a ımpossable challenge for u to solve ıf there is lore in roblox islands and is it posseble to live in a floating island
CleoWithMayo: &quot;A snowflake in an avalanche never feels responsible.&quot;<br>Thanks for covering this Game Theorists!! Very important etiquette guidelines to follow going forward.
COOLEE COOLEE: Me who goes there in person: My goals is beyond your understanding
Warbandit100: Yeah, Just watched that previous FNaF video and thought: &quot;this Will go downhill&quot; and It did, surprise.<br>For those Who think I&#39;m making this up, Remember, times have changed since Gravity falls, check the social media nowadays, you can see how the internet community Is downgrading.<br><br>On Another note, i think this video Is a great idea, as at least 1/3 of that group Will get the message, since It was very polite and quite direct.
Darth Sparkles: damn you know it’s bad when you get lectured by dadpat
Zoltar Servin: When tf did this whole fnaf arg thing began and why is it stopped i am still confused on this!
voidglitch: Katzenleben auf demUranus
Catnap: game theorists :we will attack this place for FNAF <br>:mat pat: NOOOOOO
Jeremiah Jeremiah: you should make a discord for args
Quicknoodle: Meanwhile the next day, Mr beast and scott cawthon announce opening of real fnaf pizzeria as a collab
Brandon Cartmill: The first half of this video is MatPat telling everyone what they&#39;re doing is wrong. The second half is him listing rules for an ARG for newbies to ARGs. It really feels like a Dad&#39;s lecture. Seeing that he is a dad, it fits. Well done. Thanks, DadPat.
Stacey bunbun: Ummm there’s a teaser for the new fnaf game srry
Licinius Varrus: daaaayum, wow<br>actually calling real businesses for lore clues 🤣<br><br>Best of luck! Hopefully this resolves itself soon.
Areasontowatch: how do I double like this video
MICHAEL: This feels like we are being lectured by matpat, like he’s our dad 😅
mr Palpatine: If it&#39;s a bad video... delete it instead of gaining profit from other people&#39;s suffering!
nightmare: when r u going to do a roblox theory and why hackers decided to hack games like tubers 93 and jenna
Toasted thongs: Most of the community is 11 years old (including me)
Cringey cake Bear: Fear mattpat: there is a brand new Freddy fazbears pizza online ordering restaurant! You can find it looking up Freddy fazbears pizza. Pleaseee make a video!
Just A Man Wearing Purple: This is why I respect this man. A mistake happens revolving around him (whether it&#39;s his fault or not) and he cleans it quickly and responsibly.
Calvsie: Hehehe, ARG youngins. Looks like we need to circulate &quot;This Is Not a Game: A Guide to Alternate Reality Gaming&quot; again.
The Artsy Panda: This is why I love matpat. He’s one of the only creators I’ve been watching for 5 years consecutively now. He’s very respectable and very aware and on top of his community. Very grateful to be a part of such a great community🥰
rey lobo: the TL;DR or rather TL;DW (to long didn&#39;t watch) is don&#39;t be an idiot. think before you act.
gojifan 95: but the grind
Jackson Trowbridge: We love you mat!!
Boi: Imagine getting 100 spam calls about a drawing of a butterfly in a fnaf book.
Martinessentials: How can you not like this man, I will fight you.
Identification: Hey, have you ever wondered how cappy can go on Mario&#39;s head without capturing him? Or maybe... never mind, I need the theorists to look into this
Fright Knight: This isn&#39;t a Game Theory its A Game Law
Amber Lyon: Which books do you think are the best, worst, scariest/most horror?

Lindann Johnson: Don&#39;t you know chara possessed Frisk in try to kill Monsters in the underground as you can see Chara fell in to the underground be for frisk asriel and chara be came friends chara what to Destroy humanity so he bite golden flowers he died he possessed asriel tale him to kill humans but he felld chara help frisk in the pacifist and neutral run after that chara became a deman
Desi<3: DadPat coming out haha .. no but really I really agree with him totally and him doing this and making this video is the reason I admire him stay safe guys
Debjani Chatterjee: You explained this issue and with the solutions like a real parent . And even though i was not included in any of your arg&#39;s neither this one I would still do my best to never forget these logical and should be followed because they are related to real life, rules . Thanks matpat 👍🏻
TFC7123: He is scolding us in the nicest way possible
Itz_JtDestroyer 06: Okay, thanks Chad👍
Jo Ta: You should make a video explaining the lannfinder stick tournament. It is very confusing.
StormBlackwell: I wonder if he’ll cover the Sea of Thieves ARG going on right now at some point.
Watsobe: MatPat’s left ear sticks out slightly more than his right and I am never going to be able to unsee that…
Xavier: can someone tell me what an ARG is?
audrey greene: this came out on my birthday.
Laura Glynn: uh oh Shark...FNAF is making a jump the shark reference XD
FrogMouth: This reminds me when fnaf fans found a pizzeria at the address 1989.
ICTV PH: You know its serious when Mat vlogs showing his face, without edits and wears a leather jacket.
MKultraSnuffVictim: i will not stop
Corbet Abrahamson: I think another important point is if you make a game like this where a phone call is a part of it if ARG&#39;s inspire you those puzzles should be the top layer. Matpat references omega mart which had a number to call and that one is fine since it was actually part of the puzzle, or other games that have a website set up for some links as much as we as puzzle solvers should be conscious of how we might impact others I think it&#39;s important that developers be aware of how their puzzles can be interpreted. And like he said I doubt there was ill intent for most but I think this was the other end that should&#39;ve been brought up for a community this large.
Дима Ишин: Guideline: noone will tell you about connection with arg/lore, because of nda probably, not even because they grampy or whatever
2QIK4U GAMES - (2QIK4U): Folks are dumb where I come from.
Max Kelnhofer: I think matpat should make a video to see how many days would you survive and how long it would take to have health problems and how you would probably die
Boom Bap: MatPat apology video. Would of never thought it would happen.
Lemon _kip: We love you mat!
Eloquent Wizard: It’s so sad that you had to say this
DANTE GOAT: MatPat: HEY GUYS CALL THEM AND FIND OUT<br><br>also MatPat: nooo I didn&#39;t mean it!<br><br>take responsibility for this.
That1_guy: I found the 20% so nope
Steve A: I don&#39;t think this could have been handled any better. I am sorry that this has happened, but every respect goes out to you for the way you handled this. Crew and all, thanks!!
Benjamin Ingham: MADE ON MY B-DAY
ToasterArm: I just realized that ARG spells &quot;arg&quot; like a pirate.
Kazuma's Journey of Song: Dadpat :D
Spookydorf: aight i did it, i watched all game theory vids

Mr. Bigglesworth: kek epic troll
HaroWorld1: DA FK DOES ARG STAND FOR?
Tsehay Eck: DadPat scolding his kids 😅😂
SleepyzGamer: Minecraft is trying to add lure...
JackAtt: but keeps up the video lmao
MKDemiGodzilla Warrior: So...what exactly went wrong her compared to other ARGs? Did the FNAF community just not know how to do ARGs?
hoiy vinosa: more popular, there&#39;s a chance that situations like this can arise again, so getting this kind of information out there from the get-go is proactive in the best way.
Plasma: &quot;Welcome to couch theory!&quot;
minecraftoscar 4: I have a gulid line wait for offical sources like the creator of the show,games, and movies
Rocky Harmon: Here’s the thing you should had never said anything about the ARG because Scott cawthon made a post saying do not call real companies and there isn’t a fnaf ARG
Brayden Smith: Hey Matt Pat I am one of your helpful subscribers and I&#39;m watching this video and you know in poppy chapter 1 you hear this VHS tape about security so I was thinking what if huggy woogie and Mommy Long legs well never mind Mommy Long legs what if huggy didn&#39;t go all insane in the membrane just because of a minor fact that the player is not a kid but all and when he&#39;s around kid kids he doesn&#39;t go crazy but when he&#39;s around adults he goes crazy what if he&#39;s just a guard dog like yeah I was just wondering so I&#39;m hoping you could look deeper into it like he&#39;s not going crazy cuz of your adult and I can but he&#39;s going crazy because of the alarms and he has to get rid of the trespasser so I was hoping to make a video off it and maybe give me a shout out listen I will watch many YouTubers and I always want them to give me shout outs but I don&#39;t really comment that much so yeah if you could chat on me in that video which you will hopefully make nothing you have to yeah I was just wondering so anyways he probably look into it please this was Brayden out
spidey boi: I bet fnaf is made by peta
Jack Davison: Please can you do more on the stich wrath
shawn wasilowski: Hey @MatPat, I just discovered an ARG that I think is right up your alley. You should really check out, Local 58. There is a giant lore to it and I think you are the one to crack the case.
misty: Now I feel like matpat has been cancelled for 10 years<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Um I don&#39;t now what to do now I need friends
ZONYMA: Great video Matt, always keeping it 💯
Smart Kids: It felt like when the nice teacher is telling u off but I understand
Smirky Shadow: Thanks DadPat
Monika: I wish there was a real fnaf arg because a real life fnaf hunt?? Sounds amazing to me! But I don&#39;t think I would ever call somebody&#39;s restaurant.
No lifer: ok
elise dolton: what’s an arg
JustinQ7: omg I had no idea that this happened. geez
Ali Haider: Hey I have an idea isn&#39;t fazbear fright an old pizzeria and if so do we know which pizzeria that is because it could be a new pizzeria or something interesting I just thought about this and I just wanted to tell you about this because it is pretty interesting
crowcore Games: address color the spectrum , game theory donated to a charity whos director said he wanted to drown his son, a charity who has links to autism speaks any response gt
Draconii-Rak: What&#39;s an ARG? ^^&#39;
untitlednotfound: idk don&#39;t know what happening i was on vacation lol but just be respectable also mat Pat please check Gemi home entertainment system
Dr. Pepper: Matpat dropping The Idea that there&#39;s a FNAF ARG in The Real World on The Internet is the equivalent of showing off a Flamethrower in front of Group of Kids and then leaving it on The Front Porch of Your Wooden Cabin.
JustAKat: Thank you! Many peoples thanks and respect lay upon you.
malcolm ross: Mad respect
Sharpi08: Thank you dadpat for telling us, your fan base, about what we did wrong and how we can fix it. You are probably the most respectable YouTuber, according to fan base alone
It'sasecret Toeveryone: Wow.
BriBriBunny: idk what this is or what’s happening but i clicked and immediately noticed he’s dressed like leon kennedy in infinite darkness
LandedkillerPlus: You wrote the script for the video and should have thought about this.
Cliff Ritch: I would suggest (if you can retroactively, idk how YouTube is set up with that) add a timecard for the rules, so someone can always easily jump to the rules when reviewing this video
HentaiLover365: New: entire town gets harassed by strangers all asking about horror game five nights at freddys
SnoopSqueak: I suggest editing the original video with a pause and a voiceover when you introduce the real world city telling viewers NOT to bother residents
fallen8bitotaku: Sup    love your content   &gt;¬&lt;
VHNexus: This is why I respect matpat, he doesn’t take his fans to his advantage making huge internet armies that harass others or spam other channels. He quickly noticed the problem and told everyone to stop and promptly apologized to the victims before things got too serious. Mad respect
Matt Briddell: Thank you for taking accountability and addressing this issue!
🦊😐Neutral: His 🤵language says scripted. Despite that, his emotions on it are clear.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=6m00s">6:00</a> 2 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=7m00s">7:00</a> somewhat implies this.
Middle Age Noob: dad pat
vall: oki
H: Man U gonna be a great father 😅 u talk sooo maturely and convincing
DisGuy OvahEere: &quot;i thought fans of this franchise would act in a responsible way&quot;<br>you mean the gays who like video games about minors being abused and murdered?<br>no. not responsible nor stable
DisGuy OvahEere: inb4 gametheorists end up breaking into govt property to solve an ARG
liz: influencers better be taking ALOT of notes rn 😭
Expozed: I will not stop
TJRGaming: <a href="https://youtu.be/eanJvx0VzUc">https://youtu.be/eanJvx0VzUc</a>
Pancham Boi: Matpat is just the best
Shadez: So i was rewatching the lore videos and got to the point in the timeline where matpat is confused about fnaf 2 being open earlier than we thought. Well here is my thought process, we&#39;ve never played in the original freddy&#39;s building, right? But what if we HAVE. Hear me out, what if fnaf 2, the grand re-opening, is a grand re-opening of not the company, but the building! Like the original building is given a fresh coat of paint and new animatronics. Then  i got reminded of the old decrepit wiring that hangs on the walls in the fnaf 2 office. Why would there already be building damage if the building was just built and opened for a week. BECAUSE THE BUILDING WAS LEFT ABANDONED FOR 4 YEARS BEFORE BEING REFRESHED
Jose Valencia: so sad
John Doe: This is what the fourth channel should be about, just the real life stuff that school wouldn’t teach you
Faden't: e
Acrid _: Hu
Looofplayss: Js
Senior_Banana: Hi
Vy Nguyen: I feel like this video should be added to the actual video at the end or add a V.O. with these notice.
luna!: Hi
thegrim418: So in short, MatPat vastly overestimated the intelligence of his average viewer.
JuJu Be: You are the best MatPat.
Svihl: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=6m20s">6:20</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=10m16s">10:16</a>
StengaranteGT1: We need Internet Comment Etiquette Erik on the scene.
Chukkaq: &quot;A couple hundred phone calls constitutes harassment&quot;<br>Lets me clear, once you get like 2+ unwanted calls you&#39;re in harassment territory. Don&#39;t live and die on the hill of &quot;Matt patt said a few hundred, we only did 100. We&#39;re golden.&quot;
deep gray: MatPat is like a dad who has a tons of animatronic childrens.
Mary Hanke: This feels like dadpat having to reign his many kids in and apologizing to the other adults for our chaotic behavior.
Shadow of Shanolia: &quot;Do not post private information, that is called doxxing&quot; Man it&#39;s too bad a certain creator doesn&#39;t understand that
JoAnn O'Keefe: Please watch the dlc security breach trailer uncertain past which shows what happened with glamrock Bonnie, foxy and ballora
Raptyy: matpat is gigachad
abbsnn cose: just being this awesome person that you are &lt;3
Kid CowboySmart: create music theory
LolsAtLance: Your teeth are so white and perfect, I&#39;m jealous. That&#39;s what I am taking from this video. - but yes to everything you said
exan: We have idiots on this planet and then we have the fnaf fanbase.
Strangled Red: seriously, mat pat sounded like my dad the whole video
Balo Bad Artist: Wow this is wild
nerdseyderpy: I think one of the rules should be to not actually take anything found in the real world for an ARG as your own. Snap a photo or something and leave it there.
ム乙尺ノ乇レ: I shall not argue with dadpat
Iain Yggdrassil: And matpat has killed anyone wanting to make an arg :D
Fae Hammy: Matpat? Nah Dadpat
Brian Parker: You already had my respect for all you’ve done—not only for your audience but for the world—but my respect for you just PEAKED after this. We love you MatPat. Thank you for all you do for us
Korey: the bad ending 😅
person: guys dadpat is disappointed in us :(
Jeremy Kim: You know it&#39;s serious when matpat is telling you to stop
Derek: Episode 1: Mattpat teaches us how to build a fire.<br>Tune in next week when we explore what fire does and how to protect yourself and others from it!
Lauryn O’Connors: this just in, dadpat has entered the room
Dark Metal: Nice try Mat trying to stop us from finding the FNAF treasure before you. We see right though you.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>I&#39;m joking of course
Alice Wonderland: If and unless a clue for a phone number do not call a place
Scrup: Not to long ago i had watched that video, so seeing his thumbnail was kinda funny- without context he said “go out n see if h can find something!” To “stop. Please stop.” Ion know
King PW: He’s not mad he’s just disappointed
Opal Stacy: I&#39;ve always have respected MatPat. But after this video my respect has grown so much more. He is so polite and he didn&#39;t just say stop, but he also gave solutions to the problem so that it could never happen it again. MatPat you did an amazing job.
ThatOneWill: theres a very blurry line in this video between Dadpat and Crackpat
Shadow Rat: and you can use public news to know if a bad idea is or not you can learn from others and yours past mistakes whatsoever though do not away believe it can be a lie Afterall or a simply another FAKE NEWS 🤞🗞📰
Caleb Jones: Nothing like the FNAF fandom to take it too far lmao
Brosmice: The &quot;rule&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=8m26s">8:26</a> reminded me of something that happened in an ARG 2 months ago. For the &quot;Angels of the Zariman&quot; update in Warframe, they made a mini-arg, and one of the last clues we had was a phone number, and accidentaly someone mistyped the number, and so we called a pharmacy that had nothing to do with it. So just remember, if an official clue has a phone number always double check if you&#39;ve typed it correctly, you could be calling a random pharmacy
Carrietoonz: Matpat is sigma male chad 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lil Gremlin: I didn&#39;t even know this was happening 😳
Zach Giles: Even though it was his fault I still love ya Mat
Shadow Rat: Also, i love your video very much💚 Please procced and can i have a shoutout if there is one u know<a href="about:invalid#zCSafez"></a>
Shadow Rat: I do indeed agree to you it is not right to do this bit of trouble for &#39;&#39;Game Lore&#39;&#39; same place may not even be real or a house of a random guy
TalynWuff: How respectful and informative. Its never pleasant to eat a turd sandwich to something you did, this was done well.
Kylewinder: What have you done
Allie Holst: Matpat put his dad boots on to put his foot down. 10/10
Cocoa Koifish 錦鯉: Stop making ped0 jokes too then matt patt you creak
Enrique Garcia: This legitimately like the birth of the ESRB rating system.  It&#39;s awesome that matpat here is spearheading this initiative to set a series of guidelines to hold yourself accountable for,  like a society should.
Frank Ramirez: This is the greatest apology I&#39;ve ever seen
Delano Davis: This is probably why the story was &quot;cut&quot; they probably knew this would happen
Zivon: Must&#39;ve been quite a shocker for you. I&#39;m glad you responded so soon. Have a safe trip!
ruln aesafo: The last video also had 3 million views, hope they all saw it.
Butterfly Knife Tricks: Not saying this like I did this, cause I literally can’t, but I would have never thought they would have to shut phone’s down.
Blue Lopez: Another rule: unless the creator of the ARG or owner of a phone number approves or denies the fact that a private phone number is being used in the ARG, DO NOT CALL IT
Danelia Partida: U should but the fredbaer pizza when it comes.out
Stickmaster500: man made a genie wish to the internet and he wasn’t careful what he wished for
The Devil's Lettuce: In other, fewer &amp; shorter words, MatPat can sued sued &amp; faced with a lot of legal bull due to your actions &amp; ignorance, because of his role he plays in the game, even if he did not take or endorse any actions of others. Be smart about your approach to everything, thats a life lesson!
PyroAngel: What&#39;s an ARG?
sf: do the transphobia and donation to autism speaks next!
Donald McCullough: It&#39;s almost like habitually lying to impressionable kids for profit and crowdsourcing your projects to them without their knowing can have consequences
Pajama Johnson: Wow. Feels like Mat is talking to his child.<br><br>Damn.
BETO: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23pizzagate">#pizzagate</a>.....NO NO NO....it&#39;s FNAFgate...🤣
Naihla: Matt Pat I found some Lore you know how did they build all the locations because William is still on the spring lot to insist location how did he bill all of them unless it’s the mystery face that sometimes you always talk about and your last and fanf videos and To be honest William should be dead Andy Mineo fired because electronics die in fire like animatronics you need to explain it to us I need more lower and how did they make the Fnaf three game it’s nothing like Fnaf one FNAf to it’s nothing like those locations I hope you this message
A very sad man 🙍‍♂️: Don’t take this the wrong way but imagine someone calling a McDonald’s about the fnaf lore.<br><br>Not saying go do that because that is wrong but imagine that
liam: Thanks for listening and tackling this little issue before things get hairy.
Jermaine Beetstra: Who you gonna call?!
Therealyaddayaddaman: What I like the most about these couch lectures is how far they are from the &quot;haters are out to get me&quot; a lot of creators go for (while doubling down on the kind of stuff that made the community surrounding them into toxic wastes).<br><br>The confidence of a man who knows exactly the kind of brand he wants and exactly how to promote it. MatPat is an outstanding (and surprinsingly ethical) marketeer.... a world of difference from the  guys that embrace the worst of their fanbase just because they&#39;re scared of losing views... or because they cannot separate their own identity (and insecurities) from their brand.
Hot_Sugar: hehehehe
James Lawner: If a number has to be called, whatever info is gleaned from that number should be made public immediately so that others don’t have to call that number multiple times.
KingBob: Fortnite?!?! (:
Jack Zegers: LMAO
brightsouls: The heck is an arg?
Threngeel: E
ShadowLinkSam: I respect
Singularity: Commenting so it gets recommended more
IrShade: &quot;hey I&#39;m a huge youtuber who made a call to arms to do something but I didn&#39;t account for my huge following to Just go out and do stuff&quot;
Digiornodiovanna: I think that it&#39;s great that you&#39;re pointing this fact out but doesnt this feel kinda like a teacher yelling at your class for one person doing something wrong
Laura Lynch: Why don&#39;t you stop making fnaf videos. Stop milking this dead cow dry and create something something new and creative for a change.
Arctic Green: I think there is an audio problem. I&#39;ve got my volume cranked and I have to turn the subtitles on to know what is being said. I know it&#39;s not just a &quot;my machine&quot; problem, because it&#39;s not an issue with other videos I&#39;m seeing today.
Clare Fitzpatrick: @game theory
Ruben: Must be the new subscribers that did this 😒
Grantinator: This has got to be the best youtuber apology I have ever seen. And I’m glad he took responsibility for his fan base and told everyone to stop doing what they are doing. Huge respect to MatPat. If only all youtubers were this responsible and sincere.
Iso-Didact: Dafuq is an arg?
Minetheground: Thers a Minecraft ARG called alphaver
Elden Rah: Lol, is this real?
Joe Wilson: Na that&#39;s entirely the writers fault dk why your apologizing would have happened regardless and will continue to smh
Walter White: This is amazing Mat, such a great way to address a problem like this. I haven’t really took part in any arg’s yet but this is a great guide to them because as you said they had never really had a set of rules besides ones the creator sets, which is hard since they don’t tell you you’re playing an arg, you have to find it yourself.
_ Kudos: Canceled? 💀
Creamsicle: MatPat really out here with the damage control
darkflaoter: This really makes me feel like this is dad pat bleeding out
ECW Plays: If this is an apology, then FNAF is a first person shooter. This is a sorry excuse for sending out children to hillbilly country. They could&#39;ve got shot while trespassing private property, the hate is deserved MatPat. Not to mention, you never said sorry, all you said is that it&#39;s your communitty&#39;s fault, not yours. You sent kids out and didn&#39;t even tell them to not call private buisnesses. Also, there is ARG ettiquite, it&#39;s called common sense and not calling private buisnesses.
Way Out: nice jacket
Pheonix MMKC: this is like a parent lecturing their child after they told them to do something.
Carson Lawler: I feel like Cicada 3301 gave us all unrealistic expectations for args (though most of the fans here are probably too young to remember it)
Wedgamus: Oh look, sheeple being used by an egotist. MatPat could make you kids commit mass genocide if he tried.
Rick: We&#39;re they asking the local GameStop for Battle Toads?
Ronda Ward: I seriously doubt Scott would place an employee in a certain area to give fnaf lore come on guy be better think harder
Legacy: Honestly should have seen this coming <br>It&#39;s the same fanbase that threatened the creator and his wife into early retirement because of his religious beliefs and political beliefs
ThePixieNinja: dadpat just gave us a stern talking to.
colleen harwood: interaction to help push video to more ppl
Kabocha Hata: The video aside, while important and should be heard out, I’d like to be off topic and call out Mat Pat’s FANTASTIC outfit, he’s quite a snazzy man and I love the Theorist channels and the content on them AND our wonderful Theorist communities, let’s continue to grow the community and be better than we were yesterday everyday
Ham: MatPat our lord and game theorists
Nyla Skinner: The best YouTuber I think, it’s set in stone in my mind.
Cyranek: I&#39;m about to break all the rules
TJ Starblood: I feel like a rule should be added, don’t do anything obviously dangerous. Nobody’s going to hide clues in a rushing river or the bottom of a construction pit, or in the sewers. Personal safety is important too, and you have to remember that it’s not worth being injured, or even killed, to solve an ARG. <br><br>No responsible ARG maker would require you to break laws, trespass, and most importantly, put yourself or others in danger. Be safe, be responsible, be smart, have fun.
zacao: nice jacket brah
Notmy Realname: &quot;Is this Frank&#39;s Lasagnaria in (insert location here)? Okay, great! Do you have the FNAF lore on you?&quot;
Robert Vasquez: You make too many faces when you perform
midnightangel981: 22 year old here. The fact that the Theorist Community are actually calling real life places to ask about a video game is surprising, even though some comments are like &quot;how could MatPat not have seen this coming?&quot; Those rules should be obvious, but for younger fans, not always.
Ethan Bullock: MatPat: Help us out and let us know what you can find<br>Everyone Else: Hotline Bling an entire town.<br>Me: ROUND 2 JEREMY THEORY MATPAT. ITS ON REDDIT. LETS GO. DEBUNK ME NOW BUDDEH
Lord Guardian: Another thing to remember is to properly research the area you want to explore. Let someone know if you are going to look at a location. Sometimes urban explorers get into danger from not knowing their area or coming across violent individuals in remote locations.
Kiri_licious: Respect for Matpat, and the rest of the gang, for acknowledging this AND being respectful and sincere when discussing the situation. Also, for taking action instead of ignoring it. And no, I honestly don&#39;t think it&#39;s your fault, or maybe even the people&#39;s fault. Whole thing was a HUGE misunderstanding and that&#39;s okay, as long as it is addressed and redirected towards a better alternative to harrassment. So yeah, I have respect for these channels. Love you forever, guys.💙💙💙
Senketsu Fi: hes moving around too much... not used to facial expressions
Connor Whitson: This is so wholesome.
Red Rain1899: He reminds me of a Dad that his VERY disappointed in his kids
Rae Hurlock: The nontoxic king of youtube
Mason R: Matt Patt should temporarily Delist his ARG content, and if possible, add this disclaimer to the videos.
superbearchrist: Honestly I think it&#39;s the fnafs fan base fault. Most gaming communities have the common sense not to call and harass others and just dig through game files or websites for hints on anything even ARGs. Honestly I was curious what this was about but none of this is Matpats fault.
Amergin Giles: When the master of all logical stretches tells you to &quot;please stop,&quot; you know you got no chill.
Gaby Nassar: I just love your voice
Toyss: Woah did we just get reverse canceled?
Maxilz: Give this man an award already. Mad respect to MatPat for addressing this in such a clear and professional manner.
L&L Equestre: It&#39;s such a shame that someone like matpat has to apologise to pizza place workers just because a bunch of kids can&#39;t tell reality from fiction...
reverb: does arg mean a real <br>+life game?
TheNintenfan64: This is what separates MatPat from Dream.
Michael Winter: The first rule of ARG club: you do not expose MatPat to litigation. <br><br>The second rule of ARG club: you do NOT expose MatPat to litigation.
Ryan Smith: this is part of the arg guys!
MinkMink: lol
InvincibleCarrot: ok but imagine working at some random mcdonalds and you get a call from someone screaming about fnaf lore
sheeps are u: bro he gave us a dad lesson
090we: It was annoying they kept spam calling me
Sean Sandeman: respect
Fat Cat: A really mature way to take responsibility for your community&#39;s actions. I think having those rules spelled out is a great way to help your largely young and/or neurodivergent audience understand something that may not be obvious to them at first.
JR Rizzy: Quantum TV could’ve learned from a couple of these rules smh…sorry i just cant get over how absurd the Act Man situation is. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeforActMan</a>
TrashiVision: Control the power, because you have more than enugh
Gear Zack Kennedy: Really wish if I had the same amount of integrity this man has
Damien Freidly: mostly just commenting to boost the stats on this one, but this is a phenomenal video and set of guidelines moving forward for ARGs in general. it&#39;s easy to forget that the internet is still a wild west in a lot of ways, it&#39;s still pretty new in the grand scheme of things and we don&#39;t have set etiquette for a lot of digital-to-real-world crossover stuff like this. this video is not just a great apology, it&#39;s a great way to establish clear etiquette for both ARG creators and solvers. well done matpat
The Guardian Soul: Respect my friend, very well said on everything you noted and stated when it comes to safety, privacy, &amp; most importantly, avoiding all illegal negativity.
coco22: No
Vkpz: This is like when the nice teacher finally snaps and gets serious... like even though you weren&#39;t the reason why, you still feel like apologizing 😅
I want coco pops: What is an arg somebody please tell me
JeffShiny legendary Pokémon hunter: I don’t think this is matpats fault honestly it’s the game’s fault for making real world Easter eggs
DShadez: I think this was an really important thing to call out but for the arg to view files for fnaf 3 zarchiver on an android phone can&#39;t get a hold of fnaf 3 but i think it could be a lead i think i might make a video because i do want to join the fnaf youtube community but that&#39;s all
Himiko Toga: Hey, MatPat. why don’t you set up a discord server for the game theorists out there.
Marco Antonio: MatPat is so handsome.
werr3222werrr: Lmao
mninjax: I&#39;m probably being rly stupid rn but what is an ARG
Cartoonicus Studios: It’s unfortunate that these places can’t benefit from the publicity.
Jack: where
Jweeeb: the best apology ever
Robert Harris: Ok but you knew this would happen. Theres no way you didnt know this woukd happened. Its happened before. Itw nothing new.
Princess Sarah: FABULOUS APOLOGY ‼
BunniX C.: I’m so suprised that this happened. And sorry that you had to go through this. Could you possibly open a game theory Reddit or discord?
Cazza Bo Jangles: And THIS is how you address an issue.
Slicing Onions: I&#39;m to lazy to look, someone quickly tell me what an ARG is
Emerald: d4mn guys
Cloudcake: Take notes Dream

ChesterT89: A plus leadership MatPat, well said and we’ll done
Agent Starr: much respect man
Your local bisexual : Respectable
Tristan Illetschko: What did I miss here
Bane: The theorist community is fine, its the fnaf community thats being weird
iknow_panda: Damn
Frick1936: STOP
universe cubed: Seems like he shouldn&#39;t have had to apologize at all.  The fan base should have base common sense.
Nearn: wowowoow
Berry: You can see the panic in his eyes and hear it in his voice
Outta context, outta time: Me: yay mattpatt posted!<br>Me: while watching the video 😀 “the fans did what…”
RedPulse: I can’t imagine the Internet without MatPat
Neal Ward: Not your friend episode aden from dying light 2 was just not just an infectid
hippy tea: This felt like my dad that was scolding me even though I did not even participate
Sean Britcher: Refreshingly responsible response from an internet personality regarding behavior of the fan-base. 👍
Kami 。w。: THESE KINDS OF SORRYSS THAT WE NEED !!!!!! WE DO NOT BLAME YOU MATTPAD!!!!
AmethystDoesBadSummaries: Well done
Jayden Appadoo: To think this only took 3 days for things to go this bad
Ned Lopez: HE&#39;S TESTING US, WE MUST GO FURTHER INTO THE BREACH!! MAUER FONE CALLS!!!!!
Daniel Poxon: Why not build an arg app that live updates so no one is doing the same thing
Static: You should totally add some kind of pop-up thingy in the last video linked to this to make it even more obvious for newer viewers of that video! Thank you so much for taking accountability and addressing everything accordingly, Matpat. Always unafraid to be genuine as always.
Deep the Razor: This isn&#39;t a game theory, it&#39;s game law
Pluto!𖤐: Matt patt is like that fun dad who never gets mad but when u do manage to irritate u feel really bad about it
Angeibeep: Well that was unexpected
V01D: I’m glad that he’s being serious and explained why it’s bad and gave solutions and didn’t wait to make a video of him crying and apologizing when OTHER ppl realized what was wrong
John Moore: Can someone please explain to me what an ARG is?
Placeholder Blank space: This happened with that pizzeria back in the day too i remember
FabulaNovaCristal: Just thank you for this video. Keep up the fantastic work &lt;3
Lisa Newton: Matt theres more about merge mansion
Ash Ketchum: We can&#39;t do args now because of these assholes, also now we just have to be dumb and not know the truth
qusai Kilani: big props to matpat for adressing
WeirdosForever: This video just screams of a dad apologizing for the stupid thing his kid did/lecturing his kid about the stupid thing they did. Overall great apology video
SPLXT スプリット: This puts some more respect on MatPat’s headtop
Zombathin Lost Leg Hacker Cat: 1st call: &quot;No, we don&#39;t have sharks here, what?&quot; <b>*tch*</b> 😂<br>1338th call: &quot;Guys please stop! I&#39;m not the secret to FNAF!&quot; 😭
Azz: We are the Theorist Army...🤔
Despain: I swear the level of self awareness YouTubers have is astronomically low.
Ratmilk: You pretty much made the perfect apology, Thanks mat.
Toaster: thanks mat &lt;3
Nishant: You r one of the most genuine creators I hv seen 🥰🥰
Kay Sutherland: You can call like your friend or something about
Namrek Istos: It would have been easy to go to the general area, wander around and look around.  Not call businesses and bother them.  It&#39;s not cool to bother them.
That Person: this feels like a talk from my dad but i agree
Cole DiBiase: We are sorry internet dad, we won&#39;t do it again internet dad.
snaggs: respect that you adressed this  cause this could have gone veryyyy wrong ppl started calling buisnisess in my town so thank you
Sierra Lovat: what&#39;s an arg?
J P: Ha! I don&#39;t mean to be rude. Children are a little humorous.
coco solis: Huge respect, not only a concise and clear response, it was quick, provided a solution rooted in plausibility, pretty much the antithesis to a typical content creator apology
Dying: What’s an arg…
OminousIntrusiveThoughts: I got a phone call. I was confused why, yeah I live really close to Cedar City, and I love in Utah, but I&#39;m far enough away, also I&#39;m a 14 year old boy who doesn&#39;t exactly have any info on this. I was so confused because they asked very random questions, (related to the game) and ended with an abrupt hang-up
Kathrine DeVries: Okay this whole &quot;Real World&quot; thing with FNAF has me on edge because I&#39;ve legit been having nightmares about Springtrap for a few months now, and the only thing keeping me feeling safe is reminding myself that it isn&#39;t real. To find that there&#39;s potential for a real life missing children&#39;s incident or some kind of real event that we might uncover is very unsettling. Like what if there was some kind of unsolved murder or something that he knew about (not necessarily was involved in) and he&#39;s just giving all of us the few clues that he had or whatever clues were discovered in a legal investigation and now he&#39;s leaving it to us to actually solve a potential murder? Like what if it isn&#39;t &quot;Just a Game Theory?&quot; I&#39;m worried guys.
Deven Rasberry: Huge respect Matt best YouTuber out there
Ducky112: Dream should take notes from this
Avan Robles: Bro I just watched the other video about him being stumped and I was like yeah I can watch this while I work on my spring trap cosplay. And the I saw this video in my recommended and I was like, oh no what did this community do. Just hope Magyar is doing alright .and massive respect to him
Ava Lovelace-Porter: Watching this video really solidified my opinion that Mat is a top tier dad
Giin: Unfortunate that one has to make a video pointing out common sense.
Aly: Matt there’s no arg in in fnaf look at the subreddit I posted it there with proof
Kalman Linietsky: Given what happened with Cawthon himself, I expected this video to have worse news. Much worse.
lil bobby: damn you matpat, now not only do we have to worry about skinwalkers, lake monsters, crazy religious wackjobs, now fnaf fans<br><br>cant believe you!!1!
Game of the Year 2020: Where was this energy to cancel someone when it was that That&#39;s what the point of the mask is guy?
Jaymes Lanske: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=1m59s">1:59</a> fnaf fans need to learn that calling a phone number isn&#39;t going to help solve fnaf, they already harassed a pizza place so much that scott had to say this to them, but now this.
Mystery 2: I respect how he handled this
HR Barranger: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=2m27s">2:27</a> Do not harass SmallAnt or PointCrow!!!
wild gaming: bruh
Splurt Records: Please god be the end of the fnaf videos woohoo 😆
Queen Marshmallow: Wasn&#39;t even part of the ARG hunt but all I can think is &#39;you guys dad&#39;s disappointed in us&#39;
Korn Cobb: From the moment I heard he mentioned an irl fnaf hunt, I knew this video was going to be coming out soon after haha
Ironrooster35: MATPAT!!!! I was playing boneworks, when I discovered a BLACK MESA MUG??? Any ideas on what this means?
Andrew Morrow: MatPat’s January 6th. “Protest peacefully.”
TheCheshireFiles: Yeah, didn&#39;t see that coming.
Super Titan: this is a example of a mature and experience youtuber who is not afraid of losing a couple views in exchange of doing the right thing
QN Bros: Piggy piggy piggy solve piggy
Megaxz Flame Dulux: What a silly little prank by the community
Ed Gonzalez: Berd
Frogperson: I have a FANF observation, and it not really a theory, just a speculation. I think it’s a coincidence that the daycare and into the pit both have ball pits, and are the only ball pits in the whole universe (last I checked). I don’t have enough evidence to say they are connected, but it could maybe have more evidence eventually.
Magic Cat101: Why not make a discord server with rules made by the community
Harry balls man: Wow mat pat thank you for showing us the truth in that FNAF was made by PETA and Markiplier tricked us all and the government and killed Ebstine who also knew the truth
tafohamatata: clue<br>almost all charachters die,why?<br>it&#39;s because they had to<br>they had to fill a thing with these souls<br>to fill william afton<br>and the reason is that he have not die<br>yes he is in a stat bitween life and death<br>but how did he survive before<br>i know i can&#39;t be useful but i tried
SirzSirz: If I had a quarter for whenever something like this happened in FNAF&#39;s history, I&#39;d have 2 quarters, which isn&#39;t a lot but it&#39;s weird it&#39;s happened twice.
doorknob: ... WHY WOULD PEAGLE DO THAT?!?! <br><b>sigh</b><br>(Second hand embarrassment.)

Vermin King: Thank you for your truth of fnaf peta presantation (shown on the keelvin channel). I agree that markipoo concealed the truth watch out for his minions(bannana)
ka: my goat
Imaproshaman: It&#39;s really great that you always apologize when necessary. Thank you for just being direct and honest about things like this.
Jourdan Hamme: You go MatPat &lt;3 We all just got a heart-to-heart with DadPat haha
Masked Rose: Guidline suggestion: if you aren’t sure an arg is actually an art do not take part same as if the arg makes you uncomfortable do not take part
Mr. Cast: Funny how MatPat himself is saying not to go into FNAF lore
random account 1: Gonna need to reference this video in the next fnaf theory
EvadeKnight: I apologize if I&#39;m not up to date ,but I&#39;m just confused and would like clarification
EvadeKnight: could someone explain what all this is about ,the apology, ARG,and why Matt wants to stop it?
Caleb Hanna: W Mat
Doggedly handsome: It was obviously idiotic kids and teens that did this stuff

Gamefrog 51: Yo, Matt this video is tight and all but I gotta thank you for that Keelvin shout out and for telling us the truth man
Rayneingdown: I watched this video on silent to help boost it (and I’m glad it ended up trending according to other comments) directly after the premier because I saw a notice for someone else live covering everything, but I was in the middle of getting homework done. Watching it for real, I’m glad to see how this was handled but can definitely see and hear the stress.<br>Thank you MatPat and the entire theorist team for handling the issue as fast as possible, and I hope every loyal theorist that was accidentally causing trouble saw or sees this video.
Quintendo Gamer: This is when MattPatt is my dad
Bruh: A fan of you got a lot of calls asking if they&#39;re freedy Fazbear 💀💀

Ally Li: Impressed by how professional this is. It feels like a training video you’d see at a school or something
hulkbuster_2812YT: I think next channel u can make is toy theory
P: A question I had (not related to FNAF) is theres a mobile game called minoin rush and in that game you are a minoin and your running from somthing but it dosent show you what it is. So my question is can you find out what is chasing the minoins in minoin rush.

giga wario: Matt can you do a new game theory on Stardew valley if you haven&#39;t because there are a lot of secrets I found in the game and it&#39;s definitely full of secret lore
dublindom: hey mat Pat, was just wondering if perhaps you would do a theory on plants vs zombies  garden warfare 2 or battle for neighbourville and see who would actually win

Richel- 🔥𝐆𝐨 𝐓𝐨 𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 [𝐋!𝐯𝐞]: Mad respect that you’re addressing this as soon as possible because this could’ve escalated quickly and you even offered a great solution so the fanbase would stop before it got out of hand. Nobody could’ve said it better than you did.
Superbat 696: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=3m34s">3:34</a> &quot;Smart and respectful&quot; Simultaiously describing me and the exact opposite of me. Only once elsewhere has such a simplistic phrase riled me up before: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23savetf2">#SaveTF2</a>.
Tom Grubber: Never thought about it til now
Bera Bahçekapılı: You started it, it&#39;s too late you can&#39;t end it.
Madkujo: It is terrifying how much responsibility you take on just due to the sheer size of your viewer base. Hopefully that behavior stops immediately.
Yeetphater4: It’s your fault really Matt, you should be aware that the Fnaf community is made up by mostly children, you told them to call businesses, this isn’t “our fault” it’s your fault.
mr gamer cool dude: I find it funny how insane everyone went, but seriously thank you for like immediately addressing the problem
Ace Plays: Thank you for grabbing on to this situation before it escalated with out any of us knowing about it.
Salstimatic: &quot;yawns&quot; ignited freddy is secretly the warden from minecraft
Daniel Stone: Wow you’re pretty 😍
Ronald Alcera: And so the standards for solving ARG&#39;s are set in stone....(Thanks Mat for setting the rules in this wildwest of ARG hunts).
CoolJack_10: Please do video about disk Samuel åberg - 5😎😎😎 in Minecraft
TheGalaxian: I hate Twitter
IOD: SUMMARY: 10 Minutes of a man politely saying. PUHLEASE....Do not sue me.  Bad subs, bad! :)
Aether core: Not his fault in the slightest
AnimeComedyMan05: Now that is what I call Internet &quot;personality&quot; cause MatPat got it.
Jeremy The Bread Knife: Lots of respect for team theorist sorting this out asap after some of us got a little too excited
contest leader: One very important guideline that should be common sense is that you should never endanger yourself. It seems obvious but during the ILoveBees ARG for Halo 2, someone walked outside to a phone booth in the middle of a hurricane just to answer the call causing the VA to break character and tell them to go home.
AMDevious: Mat pat is the best youtuber and actually cares about the community the news and any problems and thats why he’s my favorite youtuber by FAR!
-[EMMA] H0T Girl-C0me 0ver L!ve: Mad respect that you’re addressing this as soon as possible because this could’ve escalated quickly and you even offered a great solution so the fanbase would stop before it got out of hand. Nobody could’ve said it better than you did.
Kitsune: Question: why cant all youtubers be like this when drama happens? Its this simple, just be a mature adult and make a video like this, no fake tears, no exaggeration, just an honest apology.
Emma Wade: Hey matpat I think I know what the minecraft enderman really is
pocke: Me don&#39;t nos tu surse an da intanait
btu: DadPat
ceoofann: now THIS, is proper addressing and a proper apology. I love Mattpat so much.
Devilcupcake: Stop it, get some help.<br><b>Meme plays</b>
Mikaela Hanger: This kind of stuff is why I am proud to be a part of the Theorist community. Everything is handled so well, with so much thought and care towards both sides of an issue.
Sherihan Ahmed: Him: says willbur soot arg<br>Me:*<b>searches his entire channel for that theory*</b>
Electric Spider: ... the heck is ARG?
Kyu Tazumi: you look tired mat
Kay B: Omg leave him alone he didn’t even need to apologize y’all weird
The Writer: You just have to look his face clearly feel with hurry and exasperation of what the hell just happen.
PinkJunkie 89: Also, if the ARG requires you to trespass or break the law still don’t do it. I could easily see this happening with abandoned properties and irresponsible creators thinking its fine to leave clues there as the setting has the creep factor and fits their aesthetic. Just don’t assume the ARG creator can just be blindly trusted, they are still just a stranger on the internet.
hi hi: Mat, please do a theory on the game Baby In Yellow
pabro AH: You stopped an apocalypse<br>What a legend

Beverly Books: Hi Mat I have a theory a poppy playtime theory what if we wrote the letter in chapter one but we didn&#39;t send it to anyone cause there was no way it was possible  what if we just wrote it hoping one day that we would be able to send the letter  maybe we just said I will leave myself I don&#39;t think poppy wrote the letter how could she write it she was in her case she wouldn&#39;t be able to send it while in her case plus we r toys ourself right so our handwriting would be like a Childs handwriting as well I rly believe that we just wrote the letter hoping some day we could send it but we just decided I&#39;m going to escape this place and yes I know there are spelling mistakes but what if we just didn&#39;t write for years so we forgot how to spell some words or maybe after the procedure we couldn&#39;t remember how to spell properly
Russell stephens: Can you find out what gender the mini pekka is
The Soup Is a LIE: hey matpat do a theory on Please Dont Touch Anything it has alot of lore i think
Luca: Fnaf is working with poppy playtime
Natsukitakashi: Mat pat and his fans including me obviously love uncovering mysteries with in games, films, youtube channels etc. Im glad this video was created to address the harrassment that real businesses were experiencing, no one deserves to be harrassed esspescailly over a fictional game however Mat pat shouldnt havd been &quot;cancelled&quot; for doing what he does best...therorizing. Its disheartening to see him come up here on the channel and apologize for the action of others. :( Us therosit should work as a team and solve these ARGs in a respectful manner. Thank you have a nice day.
Ryan the car guy123: Ok listen game theory I have a theory about the glamrock freddy being Micheal what if since Mike worked at most of the locations using different names what If it isn’t Mike at all what if Michael made glamrock freddy knowing Freddy would protect kids and break the endless cycle of death hence explaining freddy fighting for Gregorys survival and freddy is a machine so what if Gregory isn’t a robot at all and it would explain the sticky notes and the afton family table also I’m sorry if this has been discovered or not
Jesus is Lord: (John 3:16,17) &quot;For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.&quot; (Romans 10:9,10) &quot;That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart, man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.&quot;
Emerald: Completely agree, I’ve never dealt with any args before but this was very educational. Thank you for being very informative!

ghosttoast: Dude really had to make a video 😭😭
terrence ryan: Enjoy the harassment lawsuits!!
Frystavulk: Mad props for the accountability. But my takeaway from this video is that matpat also believes in the Aether
David Machado: hello mat, I&#39;ve been watching your channels for years, I love your content, and I know it&#39;s not the subject of this video but I would like to ask you if you can watch and talk about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#justiceforactman</a> it&#39;s a problem about the community guidelines on YouTube, keep up the great work on your channel and have a great day!
Hedgey Plays: MatPat, don&#39;t you find it odd that in the new minecraft sculk blocks spread when a mob dies nearby a sculk catalyst and there is giant caves of sculk....
Kiara H.: no one man should have all this power
DestruxandExploze: Great job addressing it MatPat. It wasn’t a problem for me, but if it was, this was an excellent apology.

CJ Clarke: I know this is a bit random but I’ve found a really strange and interesting channel that I think you should look into Mat<br>It’s called Don’t Read My Name
Krazy Katastrophe: Why is this MatPat&#39;s fault tho? He didn&#39;t do the stuff mentioned
Moleman Digital: 😮.
Haisham Sansarona: ngl i want another warden theory
Julia ??: he carried out his message very well but honestly sounds like that one cool teacher everyone likes when you made a huge mistake
Limbo Kid The Dank: it&#39;s kinda cute for matpat to be giving his community this set of rules in such a nice and understanding way, it feels like he&#39;s a dad speaking to his kid
joanna farmer: uh oh, HE IS ON TO US. i thot of doing it but i didn&#39;t.
black: Matpat can you do a theory about dream world???
Silly cube: I have a poppy playtime theory so pls if you see this matpat please make  a video on it my theory is that the monsters are just security systems.
Toro_Caspi: DadPat
Kat Marie: The main thing that stood by me thru out this video is his fatherly tone. He didn&#39;t say &quot;Don&#39;t do this, its bad&quot;, he literally said &quot;Please don&#39;t do this, it is not safe. Please be safe&quot;. I have always respected Matt and this is defiantly one many reasons why. He apologized for the misunderstanding, gave a reason why, and sternly but nicely said &quot;please, don&#39;t do this again&quot;. <br>I love you Matt. I have followed your channel for 4 years and I will continue till you retire (which hopefully won&#39;t be for a while but I will understand if so). Stay strong, stay nerd, stay you. <br>Clap and a half for you my friend

ZizzyCraftR: He is shaking in this video
Game slide: Grub hub  more
TitanicMustSink: I had never heard of ARG before this video 😳
Abbi Satterthewaite: Scp-096 is a enderman and I know this because unlike Slenderman which enderman is supposedly based off of it has a mouth and eyes like the enderman and the slender Man does not he is just tall which the name and the height are the only similarities and Thunderman even wax you to kill you just like SCP 096 plus your body disappears when you get killed by something there&#39;s nobody consider that something eats it I&#39;m just saying it&#39;s a bit strange how scp-096 is more like an enderman then slender Man is

Chrimson Foxdon: I don&#39;t think matpat is perfect, and he&#39;s made mistakes in the past, but in my opinion he seems to genuinely care and want to learn from mistakes. and I think that&#39;s admirable
Miki Sheets: Id say also post the list to other forums as well as a link to this video if you want to spread information
Oated: this was very mature of MattPat. he knew what he did and he apologized for what he did. simple! there isn’t anything he can do now but it was well said.

amazing guy: This reminds me of a line of a song &quot;you&#39;ve got to cross a line to remember where it lays&quot; there was no official etiquette for ARG&#39;s as mat pointed out...
H-Town Football: I just say this after watching that Fnaf vid and this is why I wish more creators were like Matt because he’s respectful and he’s actually means it when he says sorry.

Cirila Lopez: Can you please do a theory on around the clock

Karsten Stanger: You should do a theory on the Roblox game, Piggy.  It may sound dumb, but its not as bad as you may think.  You remember Lily&#39;s garden?  Someone saying that the lore is more complex than Five Nights At Freddy&#39;s?  Well the lore in this Roblox game made by a guy who wanted to mix the game Granny and Peppa Pig, is more complex then Lily&#39;s garden.

IFHQ: Great job addresing the fanaticals, sadly you expected restraint from the larger Fnaf Community, which is unfortunate, hopefully I&#39;ll be able to reconnect my phone soon!<br><br><br><br><br><br>But Apology very much accepted!  Always love your videos

Kymani smith gaming: I am a youtubeer
James Guzman: Wait does this mean no arg theory videos?
mohan aviligonda: another theory is the dream theory because if everything is the dream of crying child then technically nothing as to make sense right?

Speederman058: You took care of this spectacularly, you weren&#39;t to harsh, you were sincere, and the fact you made this video at all is amazing! Most would take a few weeks, but you, you went to that almost as soon as it started, you&#39;re kid is being raised by the right guy.
👑king of Kings👑: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). “By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ” (Philippians 3:8).
cozza: Hey mat, I was scrolling on the PS store, and it’s not out yet but I found this game called (I think) oxide 104 which seems really interesting and super strange. I think you should check it out
rachel: Mat um maybe the rules would be astablished if this arg was um real
The ult1mate: Mat is just an all round wholesome and respectful guy
Guy Who Ate All The Pizza: This is rather a sign of which you should probably stick to Games and not ARGS
Norhayati Yusof: You kinda talk like my father lol
Irene: this is hilarious i KNEW this would happen. mad respect for you for addressing this though.
lapisrabbitcomics: The thing is, about the fnaf fandom, just like any other large fandoms with younger audiences, there will be a large number of them seeking ANY form of clout. If they think they can do the bare minimum to get &#39;exposure&#39; and &#39;fame&#39;, they would in a heartbeat. That&#39;s why other fandoms that aren&#39;t as large, nor their audience isn&#39;t as young and attention seeking don&#39;t have any issues such as this.
River lovelace: Everyone like this so there’s even more of a chance for our crew to see this! Share as much as possible theorists!
Sparkle Bottom: This was irresponsible bro .   I hope someone takes legal action against you .    This apology and chastising fans is too little too late.
Krispy: Take down the goddamn video

ChillaPBG: Even Geocahing has rules and regs and its own website and community board to follow, as well as an app. I did some myself for one of my college courses. I think if you have even been geocaching, you have some idea of how to real world investigate and puzzle solve safely and respectfully.
Big Boy: Make a baby in yellow theory

Timotay: This episode of Blues Clues is intense.
Lil :D: everyone knew this would happen lol
Fleischman Family: Hey mat pat got news about the minecraft lore mabey im not shor yet but here they are #1 so i took a Listen to the new disk and well what i herd that i can  Decipher was fire, foot steeps, bats, a Sword and i think a Warden. If you ask me it sounds like someone is first walking through a cave and then that person is getting attacked by a warden then escapes and starts a fire but is found the then starts to try and fight it but he doesn&#39;t win. #2 the alley has  similarities to the vex but very different. My theory is at some point the Evokers were trying to make the vex stronger and more Vicious but ended up making the alley, the alley does  Sheam to be ghost like and sounds like Multiple spirits, and then the alleys escaped so the Evokers sent the Pillagers to capture them all which would be why you can find alleys in cages like the Iron  golems because the Evokers want to make the alley act like the vex. Its just a theory but it Sheams pretty sold to me but im not sure.
Bigboysmack21 Bigdoor20: Especially with the hello Internet
CATS: This happens again 😐😑😐😑😐

Ephemeraliti: I know i&#39;m just saying the same thing as everyone else, but I truly appreciate how responsible this is.
LeonardoGENO: BUT HEY THAT&#39;S JUST A WARNING, aaa- warning if you don&#39;t stop I might get sued warning!

Codex99: I didn&#39;t think it would get this bad so fast. It only took a few days for him to upload this video. I&#39;m guessing the damage is probably worse than what he&#39;s actually telling us. Also, how did he find out anyway?
Alexandra Walker: thank you for making this video! I&#39;m sure some peeps apricate this!
Brandt Campbell: (Up to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=6m46s">6:46</a>) My head canon is that this video is what it is, but it’s also a commentary on common sense gun laws.
WOOO Entertainment: Ok but can we still ask if they have Battletoads?
Noah Atchison: Hey mat this is completely unrelated but can you please do a vid on what’s going on with the act man and his  whole situation and how YouTube is treating him I believe with another big YouTuber putting this in the light it might actually get the community and or YouTube in general to do something that isn’t harmful to his channel thanks also thank you for making this vid and taking responsibility unlike others who would have evaded this
Noni: Thats so funny
BruddaOsas86: You can’t control me matpat
Mr. E: Is this the Krusty Krab?

The Junk Food Junky: No

Nuclear Weasels: On today&#39;s episode of game Theory: Mattpat realizes he has more power than he anticipated.
Liz Gudino: 🤦
Anoxeyh: Wh-what is an ARG?
ray: him: stop<br>me: no
Ace WMD: Maybe it&#39;s not the best idea to milk a series made buy a guy that you don&#39;t agree with accidentally misinterpreting the intended message and actively inciting a &quot;witch hunt&quot; of sorts.<br>You already made your point on not liking Scott so why bother making more content based on his work other than for money.
Blake Everyday: So this is what a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=10m16s">10:16</a> surprised Pikachu face looks like.
milky: Love how MatPat not only addressed and put an end to the situation before it escalated but offered a solution that not only effects the game theorist community but beyond that. Mad respect to him and the theory crew :)
Hunter Ray: do MINECRFT
Ray S.: You have 15 million subscribers how did you not think this could happen?
TheWiseOppai: why not have a discord group where all ppl have the opportunity to brainstorm and have a solution on more theories and the chance of all socialize as well?
Lu'ci'ten Gyrvain: See, this is why I stick with you through things that might be controversial. You know your impact and you respect the power that you wield. Thank you, Team Theorist, for being responsible Internet figures. We need more creators like you.

🌌SiEnNa HaRtLeY🌌: Thanks for addressing this as soon as you did because this could have gotten a lot worse if not adressed, we all love and are curious to solve FNaF but it isnt worth not being &quot;responsible therorists&quot;
gaMing and milk gang: Theory idea:how strong are the birds from Kirby and the forgotten lands
Brady Lord: Love your channel ever since I’ve watched my first episode I’ve learned sm and I love how funny you are thx sm for making me happy 😊

Goa Way: What is ARG? 🤔
AchildofGod: The war starts
SativaBurns: Lol
•.Mr. Umbrella . •: Thank you, you are an amazing Youtuber and an even better person &lt;3
Undead: Could you check out the new Minecraft update?
Debra Fellers: Hey mat, I found a weird possible backwards message in the deltarune chapter two song:&quot;big shot&quot; It&#39;s a little past the halfway mark and it would be nice if you could check it out.
Javaris Evans: Can someone explain what happened?
hxrmy: it’d be cool if they made a real life springtrap somewhere
Wake up, Breathe, & Hate: Has anyone ever told you that you look like one of the mikaelson from The Orginals? 🤔
Geoff: Algorithm Engagement Comment.<br><br>Also, rage hair.
Rachel Alexis: Can I just say, I appreciate the level of hand gestures.
Bruno Moreira: I feel really distressed with these couch videos. It is like my dad is going to talk to me about a bad grade or something like that.
Nathan Dean: Ofc if want to take a break from fnaf, could you do rocket league for us? I cant relate to args and i want to know how my octane get filled with pixel fire onstead of regular fire.
mdbigboi191: Yup, Quantum took the Actman Arg a little...way too far.
Deaths Bane: uhh is it me or does mat&#39;s nose look cgi or broken
Lily DiMaggio: Matpat is like a dad with millions of children.
Your Subconscious: but you created it??!
Halo Nate: Best apology I’ve ever seen on YouTube
ClothingHanger: i said it once, and i will say it again, ARGS are cringe.
Alex Jones: This is an amazing approach to solving a big ole misunderstanding promptly and sternly. MatPat you’re the best!!
Sm280: Fnaf 3 mobile app, it was updated a month ago, strange coincidence, wait wrong video, oops.
Lion Mane: Matpat is really excluding big dad energy bc this feels like every lecture my father has ever given me whenever i do something REALLY dumb
panda01boy1: Thanks you for showing us all how to be responsible / take responsibility, that, unfortunately comes rare these days. And I understand the need for this. You addressed it in a plain manner, and direct, so thank you.
#*Goth._ .dollY*#: OMG you are the only YouTuber that makes a REAL APOLOGY VIDEO you were right to get the message out quickly or else crazy stuff could’ve happened in all my years of watching you your the only YouTuber that has not been canceled yet thank you &gt;U&lt;
Starriva -Z: Let&#39;s recognize that these rules later out will probably effect the ARG online community for like the rest of its existence......crazy how he turned it out so far and yet it&#39;s gonna be big lol
MCInferno: E

shadowsa2b: &quot;Welcome to the couch video i never expected to have to make&quot;<br>How many videos have you began this way now?
Untitled_Proto: It’s finally here <a href="https://youtu.be/o77wagcs6C0">https://youtu.be/o77wagcs6C0</a>
400yearSamurai: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=8m37s">8:37</a> this. This statement here is something everyone online should always keep in mind no matter what. If you could only absorb 1 statement from this video, let it be this one.
Rachel Butler: But, I didn&#39;t do anything... 😟
Danny1o1272: Oh great we disappointed dad.
Julia Atkinson: When you mentioned the phone thing, I remembered that recently my favorite pizza place had what I believe shut off its phone
virtual Agent: <a href="https://youtu.be/xjMnEZQIomA">https://youtu.be/xjMnEZQIomA</a><br> Finally It’s here
t1ber: is this another arg?
TEWTS: DO It
TEWTS: Do a new Minecraft vid, there is a new music disc and structures
Robby Azarya: shut up!!!!!!!!!!!
Jabez Cardo: I knew it... in matpat seats on His legendary chair it&#39;s something seriouse
NMONALMSTREET: <a href="https://youtu.be/xL2-iz5W57o">https://youtu.be/xL2-iz5W57o</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=18m05s">18:05</a> I believe you were looking in the wrong place or rather the wrong country
Shalashaska: I&#39;ve never participated in any of the ARGs this channel has discussed. I just wanted to comment about MatPat&#39;s teacher/professor on a field trip energy. I could see MatPat being an amazing professor of an incredibly fun class.
Ari: Here’s a suggestion: No attacking or harassing anyone for information they don’t want to share
The Jose 24-7: life is unpredictable, but everything will be alright👍
Zachary Latiolais: Do one on Minecraft.have you listen to Disc_5?
PsiDesign: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=7m00s">7:00</a> Man, if only Dream fans knew this
Johnsuuky X: Respect to Game theory and madpat
TeM: Watpat
Wisp_Creep√: hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Lukus Ryan: MAT PAT THERE&#39;S A NEW DISC IN MINECRAFT
Weaponwitch: Anybody remember the Treasure Trove live Treasure Hunt?
David Jundt: This is kind of a &quot;damn kids, get off my lawn!&quot;-moment. Just can&#39;t picture adults seriously calling real businesses and harassing/annoying them over a game series like FNAF. At least not those with common sense... <b>sweats</b><br><br>But that&#39;s just what I think.
Kyle Loftis: Never forget God loves you and is our lord and savior
Hazdoboy2: I didn&#39;t do it, I swear
T-Rex: I am eating cupcakes with mustard
•Ginger_lei•: Why this video is important I can&#39;t stop raging, and not raging at the thing I&#39;m supposed to. I&#39;m not a neat-freak but FOR THE LOVE OF WILLIAM AFTON FLATTEN THE RIGHT SIDE OF Your HAIR. My father&#39;s and my brothers hair does this and I can&#39;t focus on anything else. 😭 My brain will not stop
Erika Hartten: I love how you went about this ,this is a nice vid I like it ,it sets boundaries for where a line to not cross
IMake 0Attempts: Though with all this said, it can be reasonably inferred that any ARG secrets must be in areas where the location it’s at never violates any of the guidelines he mentioned. This means that they WILL be in public areas that ANYONE can access and CANNOT hurt or reveal anyone’s information or identity.
Hamza Zarrar: matpat can i ask something? when are you gonna make a theory on &quot; Amanda the adventurer&quot;? they updated the game with a new tape( spoilers srry)
J_dog: This isn’t relevant but matpat these memes <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/xMEhkFygRGM?feature=share">https://youtube.com/shorts/xMEhkFygRGM?feature=share</a> 😂😂
Mr Cheese: Dang that is sad
Security camera man: fnaf not scary at all its cringy
☆cupcake_Chan☆: Hello my name is amelia and I have an idea to share. now this just a thought and can be a complete fail. but what if you make a new Channel and call it song Theory it would be about songs and what their real meaning is and yes I know that most songs are based off of some things that the Creator&#39;s tell you about but what if they were hiding something more in the in the song and what they say?
Suit Bloodbeard: I&#39;m assuming ARG is Augmented reality game?
Charles Fu: What does arg Mean
General Delta: I know this is a serous video and all, but Mattpatt. Please, please do another Minecraft video for Disc 11, and Disc 13, as well as Disc 5. There&#39;s something that you can hear, but you need to be able to hear better then the Warden in a quiet room. I don&#39;t want to spoil it for you, but all you need to know. Mojang had the Warden planed from the start, and in disc 11. The man coughing. He isn&#39;t the only one in the cave, and what they were running from, isn&#39;t a creeper and isn&#39;t a skeleton, it&#39;s the Warden, It&#39;s not Skeletons firing arrows at them or creepers rushing them to blow them to the cave roof, It&#39;s one man&#39;s bow and arrow, and another person&#39;s TNT.
VicHood: Real question is, what the heck is an Arg?
sinxxister: smash
Stacy! T[A]P Me!! To Have [S]EX With Me: HUGE respect to Matt and the crew for addressing this. These rules feel like they should be obvious, but of course there will always be those outlier groups. Let’s all solve these types of things the responsible way!
Meltz: read my name
proofer4: sorry mat
Crystal_AnimateG: when you call a public service so many times that thy have to shut off there phone  😐
CyberDiamond: I never new what an arg hunt is but ok I’ll stop
Bread with pipis: Finally an apology video with more truth to it.
Mr 305: 4th on trending pog
Bryce Byerley: No
Jennifer Possum: if he didn&#39;t adress it better, he would&#39;ve ended up in a sunnyv2 video
John Miller: Matt make a pop a troll part 2
Finn Snow: Why did I watch this whole thing I&#39;ve never even heard of an ARG. We&#39;ll I&#39;ll have to look into I guess.
Kulay: Thanks for clearing this, I hope everyone listens!
Nickolas Bananto: Waiting for a strangers things film theory
Yeetus Le fetus: Props to you for addressing this but we all know twitter is gonna have a hay day with this one
FrozenZenBerry: I figured this would happen after watching the video… it’s just too big of an audience for there to not be an issue. The smallest percent of a huge number is still quite a big number.
ViperZang: MatPat is an amazing example of a human and a content creator. Assuming he is actually a human and not a highly advanced animatronic.
T-Virus Terrance: Hello, Humans<br>The wood frog spends 7 months of the year frozen.<br><br>TERRANCE OUT
TMQ: leave it to the FNAF fans to ruine everythings, smh!
David Workman: Listening to all of this makes me think more of you, especially if you actually did this, need to play a TTRPG. There are hundreds to choose from not just D&amp;D.
tackington . . .: hell yeah matpat, this is a perfect example of how to apologize for a mess up, thank you so much for making this video, you handled this problem quickly gave a better solution, and made sure everyone understood what the problem was, keep up the amazing work dude
eggs0759: Damn man forgot the age of his fan base
Fox spiller: As a ARG person my self I had to deal with this and as a game theorist I loved this channel for 4 years. And I hate this happening to a community I followed for years. So Mat thx for helping
Dogostray: well mat seems you got a case of STANS
Darth Cuckold: Fnaf has become bad ans confusing, maybe we should move on.
ThatPedanticCommenter: I really love that you&#39;re putting a list of ARG etiquette protocols in place. This is just great, and it&#39;s exactly what these kinds of games will need moving forward. As ARGs become more popular, there&#39;s a chance that situations like this can arise again, so getting this kind of information out there from the get-go is proactive in the best way.
Mud Talks: I told myself when that video came out &quot;Man someone&#39;s going to something dumb&quot;
No Name: damn i want that jacket
Kabuto: Mad respect
AuraMaster: I know this will probably sound a bit mean, but I feel like if anyone was doing this, it was younger fans that don&#39;t understand exactly how wrong what they&#39;re doing is. I&#39;m not gonna defend them, but my guess is that it was kids doing this. Hopefully now that you addressed you this they&#39;ll stop because they realized they did a big no no.
Demiveemon 22: is it me or dose matt pat tend to look more and more like a episode of blues clues when he dose these couch videos?
Christian Daniels: Maybe come together as a community and really fully establish these rules.
Salty ?: Oooooo some of you got in trouble tsk tsk tsk
♡Strawberry mocha♡: you should put the rules in your channel description
Unknown 2u: this was super well done, truthfully wonderful on short notice- stay safe and stay freindly Xx
Takora Kataar: &quot;Stay safe, and as always: Stay curious&quot;<br>but not too curious
Whatever I Want Channel: I really appreciate how fast, thoughtfully, respectfully, and professionally you respond to crises. This is the way for media to go moving forward.
golden lazo: mad pat told me im not a real person
Cortney Brown: My place of work is currently being harassed by fans of a different YouTube channel and it&#39;s AWFUL. I really appreciate that you wanted to address this type of issue
Melody: uh can someone please explain to me what happened?? im lost
David Harner: This is why I love Matt Pat. Unlike so many other apology videos he actually does it right
RANBER: Jesus loves y&#39;all and Is The Way To Everlasting life ✝️🤍🙏
That one Ace: I saw the last video for FNAF last night and this popped up…I was nervous! I never knew things could go this far! Like MatPat said, I enjoy the execitment but it is a bit far!
Last Man Standing: If it she ain&#39;t got booty then Idgaf
Cynthia!: This is why I follow you since 2015. You&#39;re a great person, Matpat!
Fe4rless Fan309: BUT THATS JUST A PROBLEM SO please stop
sue smith: Collective sick mind got trigger and now you know.
Gravitino: Is this really surprising coming from the fnaf fanbase?
Cute Pets Town: meri channel se ap ki help ho saktahe  <br><br> .  .  nice video.
Insert name here: I feel like I’m getting lectured by my dad that I don’t have and I didn’t even do anything lol.
jacob bogner: Sell out.
Paladin Nine: Wait, is the apology video part of the ARG? Quick! Everyone make an apology video!
Enigmatiqué: Even though I didn’t take part of the ARG hunt, I’m sorry DadPat
Mr. Mcscooty: I love that he does videos like this. He realizes his fanbases’ actions, and acts on it, instead of letting everything unfold, which I love about him.
David Tryon: You see first off I didn&#39;t call because of the FNAF thing I actually called just to apply for a job and they said they weren&#39;t hiring
MakeupByBabybear: This is why you have 100% of my respect, you’re always straight up with everyone and I love you for that ❤️
Tobias Looser: YouTube&#39;s most disturbing artist:<br><a href="https://youtu.be/KsmJygFPw6g">https://youtu.be/KsmJygFPw6g</a>
DGKDAB: Hurricane
Gleneth: i have no respect for matpat
Mary Denise Martinquilla: Lol i saw a fictional world where matpat is talking about geography lol
summener99: What if the ARG point in climbing into a gorilla cage?
roxas speed paint: So funnily enough the first arg I knew about was the ben drowned arg
weffle: Chapter 636<br>Check his first game theory video the promo
Reader Speller: Nice to see that this has been put to end :D thx matpat
Xaryonx (Yung Leo): I hope that a big channel like MatPat could spread the word about The Act Man&#39;s channel getting demonitized. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeForActMan</a>
05DiamondRiche$: Don&#39;t cause public damage just so you can figure out any ARG, because don&#39;t dig up any graves for some video game
Jackson H: Man I really am losing faith in humanity :(
Alexis Maynes: can you please do a poppy playtime 😊vid
Alex F: double check the books because i saw 3 stars on some of the books for example fazbear frights 2 3 5 6
Caleb Adkins: mat slowly finding out the world is not as it seems
Hesham Hamed: I FOUND IT
Nathanael Pineda: Hey u started it with all these fnaf out of thin air and now the damage has been done
SkaCat: I&#39;m honestly glad MatPat is always fast to address issues, literally ones of the 22 reasons he&#39;s my favorite YouTuber. (and yeah I really do have 22 reasons why MatPat is my favorite youtuber.)<br>EDIT: you should also mention that if there are clues hidden around for someone to find, you should leave it there and screenshot it and don&#39;t take it with you.
BOB DOLE: Not your fault mat it just some stupid fnaf fanatics going over the top it&#39;s on them for their actions.
Cafe Au Lait: Y’all are wild. Why did Old Man Mat Patty have to make this? Lol
RGB Bri: Great job for talking about this so quickly! Hopefully this catches the eye of those who were doing it!
King_tony: I appreciate your honesty and how you don&#39;t extend the problem even more by denying any liability like others do. To my fellow theorists, really do not dox anyone even of it was unintentional. From past doxing incidents ranging from twitch to other platforms and from years before hand it is not a pretty sight. Please use your puzzle thinking skills to use when connecting your thoughts and actions to this video and see if what your doing is right.
Idontknowwhyihave7subscribersitmakesmeparanoidSTOP: honestly matpat doesn’t deserve all this credit for making the BARE MINIMUM, apologizing for something like this. he can’t even apologize for being ableist
Bob Smith: Wow. You addressed THIS fast.  Why not address your fundraising for an anti-autistic hate group? No one would blame you if you had apologized, they DO masquerade as a &quot;supportive charity&quot;<br>Oh, and happy pride! When are you going to apologize for STILL eating chic fil a?
RIZZO 250: LISTEN TO DAD/TEACHER PAT PLEASE, common guys like I see the mind set but come on calling businesses
TrikxyNinja: Mostly just commenting to add to the algerithm and try and get this as widespread as possible. <br>BUT I cannot do that without mentioning how amazing this is. It&#39;s not MatPat feeling sorry for himself. It&#39;s not Game Theory trying to shift blame or hide their fault. It is owning an issue that they started, and trying as quickly as they can to stop it. ALSO! BEARDPAT IS A THING!! WE NEED MORE BEARDPAT!!!!
The Eternal Pheonix Crew: I didn&#39;t  even hear about this happening
dccrulez: Proposed rule 6: Work as a group. No one should try to solve an ARG on their own. The idea is to communicate and collaborate to get things done. If you&#39;re going to visit a location mentioned in an ARG, and you go alone, you can put yourself in danger, you don&#39;t know who else knows about that location and may go there with malicious intent, you don&#39;t know what might happen to you on your way there in regards to accidents, make sure you have a buddy with you, make sure your loved ones know where you&#39;re going, and make sure that whenever you go anywhere you&#39;ve never been before, that you do so carefully and with support. In addition, trying to hog information, be unsportsman like, or hid information from the ARG will ruin it for everyone, so its best that the community focus on doing things together so no bad apples spoil the bunch. As such, in every regard, the ARG should be a community effort and no one should try and do it alone.
VOid: poggger
Ki: hi
Beth Neild: Just a suggestion for everyone who has never dealt with ARGs before but would like to learn the etiquette both Night Mind and Nightmare Expo do videos on ARGs and Night Mind especially has covered ARG etiquette.
joaquin catala 23: THANK GOD
Bruhidownloadthis: Film theory idea: are lightsabers switchblades
g7lethal: I had to look up what ARG even meant
Mattia Giambirtone: that&#39;s why you almost never see references to actual places in works of fiction, lol
- - -Azul🏳️‍🌈- - -: He sounded like a teacher
Beatriz coelha19: What a great example of a apologise👏🏼
4BearsGaming: This is great
Ninanat: KIRBY AND THE FORGOTTEN LAND THEORY SOON PLS
randomness72838: What’s an ARG?
Hayabusa Ryuu: I think everyone should call those places and apologize 😈
Daemon Burns-Waight: Man I&#39;ve never even played a FNAF game, I just enjoy the videos. That said I won&#39;t be finishing this video, because it is irrelevant to me and therefore uninteresting.<br><br>You should do &#39;Spiderman is doomed to die&#39;. The damn spider that bites him is radioactive! In the first movie (Raimi, 2002), Peter Parker nearly dies from the radioactivity changing his body in all weird and unexpected ways.<br><br>Please cover this, else I ask Kyle Hill!<br><br>Peace and Love from Australia
Awesome Ace Z: 4 days and the ARG video is still up…
Kirsty Yeomans: I ALWAYS COME BACK literally because of Mr afton
Sneaky Boy: THIS is how you take accountability. Identify exactly what you did wrong, apologize to everyone involved, and offer a solution to prevent the issue from happening again. No dramatic sigh at the beginning, web of excuses, or over-dramatic self pitying. I wish more YouTubers were as mature as MatPat.
The_D0C70R: Props to MatPat for being quick to stop things before they got out of hand
Sylas Knight-Walker: don&#39;t know why but it feels like my dad is having a stern talk with me🤣
lime_af: What is an arg?
PenguinGamer137: What a guy. Immediately got to the point and said it clear and simple. W man.
l drg: Thank you for the guidelines!
Morgandoy: I thought this was like those matpat memes like &quot;I smashed Ur mother&quot; not this.
Pj Skidmore: so to be clear the hunt is off? or the hunt is wrong your fixed it to the best of your ability and the hunt is on? I&#39;m sorry if I confused you
Deadeyes YT: What is a ARG? I just recently figured out RPG&#39;s and RP games
Roy Liber: MatPat said all the right things here and im happy he addressed all of it. I would add another very important rule about ARG hunting: Put yourself in the shoes of those who stand infront of you. I pretty much live by this rule and in this situation it litterally saves you from embarrassing situations with someone who don&#39;t know what you are talking about, doesn&#39;t care what you are talking about and he simply wants to get on with his life. Don&#39;t do anything illegal just to try and solve
Semen Demon: This is why I respect MatPat, as soon as his community steps anywhere out of line he addresses it and apologies for it, unlike other popular creators right now...
Ellen Bailey: mat pat plz &lt;3 this comment, big fan
Pp Man: Matpat I love you
Da Box: We all should strive to be a little more like matpat! He aint perfect, but he owns up to his mistakes. Hope the arg is sooved soon tho, its still really exciting.
Lunar21Moon: Thank you for addressing this so quickly and clearly and professionally.
Digit Dude: You done messed up Matthew
Kingdomglorynow: Sus
Vanessa Padilla: I somewhat expected this to happen the second I finished seeing that video.
Kaiotic: Damn we just got lectured by dadpat. That first stop felt like a “I’m not mad, just disappointed” sorry dadpat
The Yawning Owlbear: Surely you knew Matt that there were going to be a bunch of viewers, who unhinged from reality, would be dumb enough to make these calls, right?<br><br>Right? I mean, come on dude.  You run a YouTube channel that is an influence trigger.
Lo Champ: Idk what your talking about but your a nice guy and your a great person 😊
Crochet With Luv 💕: Why does he have to apologise for what stupid morons do? Like they are not his responsibility???
Jeishii: Another thought: maybe  Scott shouldn&#39;t have referenced real places? Maybe?
inkyblots: I respect that you addressed this asap!! Thank you for being responsible. Keep theorying on :)
Eeveemaster243: &quot;NEVER CALL ANYONE ASKING FOR GAME LORE&quot; I thought that was common sense... :|
Jesus Saves!: Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless them!<br>Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who believes in him and follows his commandants!<br><br>Have a blessed day, everyone! ❤
Oofer: I agree. I mean, why would some real life company have some relation to an average ARG. <br><br>Also, If you dont remember me, I made the comment about the connection Of FNAF SB (Security breach) and it being torn down and banned from all traces of internet in a certain timeline that might of even been ours. <br><br>Edit: again, your channel and videos are great.<br><br>2nd edit: I again dont want much attention, so you can share my theory, just please dont share a name.
Hairy The Pig: Mad respect for you Mat for doing this
Taha Tuncer: To misquote the mandalorian..... This is not the way
LittleTimmy69: Matpat gives me mad “high school principal is disappointed in you” energy, except when he says it, it actually means something.
Morgan Van Meter: Thanks for addressing!
Sheila Caris: Do a Theory about Amanda the adventurer
thepathofthedoa: Reddit is lowkey cursed 😶
John Turner: Idea: when you talk about ARG’s, cover the guidelines in the video first then get to the topic of said video.
Cameron Smith: lowkey jealous of his leather jacket
Exploring Dixie: Hey guys I explore Caves, mines, and abandoned places! Check out a video :)
MobileWR_69: You seiriously mean to tell me someone called a buisness, like if that buisness was involed it would be posted publicly somewhere at the very least. Im thinking that should be common sense. Also i really hope nobody actually was trespassing and hes just putting that out there, if you trespass over an FRIGING ARG im slighty concerned.
Rabblexthree: Hear, hear.
Jason Frederick: I&#39;ve never been responsible a day in my life and I&#39;m not starting now!
Jack Lombardo: Genuine YouTube apology
Lisa Jones: Be careful mat
Antuk: I am currently eating a very morbilious meal
saluro: Not calling any numbers except for when it is VERY CLEARLY hinted to is like the first arg rule i learned, thanks for getting new players into args and teaching them to play .... Proper.<br><br>I do wanna say, if you feel like there may be a clue on private property, ASK THE OWNER IF THEY KNOW ANYTHING AND IF THEY SAY NO LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!!!!!!
Faith S.: probably shouldn&#39;t pitch stuff like that to kids, just saying
Commenter dude: This is why game theory’s team and Matpat deserve so much more love then they get. Unlike any past apology from a YouTuber, Matpat sought out to fix the problem by addressing it thoughtfully and boldly.  Thanks Mat and hope everyone is staying safe!
Cookie Green: ok
SunShine: GIMME THAT FKING JACKET<br>matpat
Trivial Whim: Matpat. Really?<br><br>You just had a video about how you ruin everything you interact with. You’ve destroyed so many games…<br><br>How did you not know this would happen? It’s completely on brand. Why does this particular one stand out enough for you to care about? Look at what you did to Hello Neighbor you merciless monster! But once it’s FNAF you suddenly want it to not be wrecked?<br><br>Double standards Matpat, double standards.
AMVMaker26: maybe another idea be safe and don&#39;t harm anyone or destroy things
Deltajon: You should try to solve Oldroot, a Minecraft ARG that is still unsolved
Shannon Frailey: Where can I get that jacket? lol
Hazard: I feel like fnaf killed this channel
notmyreal name: How does knuckles glide
PikaPilot: If you&#39;re crafting rules for a game, doesn&#39;t that mean you&#39;re using Game Theory?<br><br>Also yeah, surprising it took this many ARGs to run into this issue. I guess that&#39;s why its important to only put this stuff out there when the ARG is ready.
Drip Google: Tons of respect he addressed this as respectfully as possible
Fatal_4k: This how a apology video work
Amy: nobody&#39;s perfect brother
That1KidOnYoutube: base 64 that
Harmony Purcell: No
That1KidOnYoutube: you theorist like base 64 dont ya
Dragolance: What is a ARG?
MissVNuna: Damn, never thought I&#39;d be glad to not be an american and thus not being able to contribute the way american fans can. <br>However, I am proud of you guys that you take responsibility for this. Not every Youtuber would do that. :D
Robbity: ARGs are more mainstream because you’re making them more accessible, MatPat. <br><br>I’d say, make a video that’s just a perfect guide to ARGs. I’d be one of your best videos.
Sundown123: Do an incredibox video

Jayson David: Lmfao stfu , keep looking guys
Mohamed Mirabal: W matpat
jorodino1: Yes call the businesses, disturb them! Destroy society!!!  Let the anarchy and chaos rule the world muahahaha!!!
CmacDaMan09: A rule that I would add for my own paranoia: If ARGs aren’t for you, PLEASE just move on. I say this out of a sinking feeling in my gut that some of those calls were trolls who wanted to use an ARG as an excuse to act a fool. I had a similar fear when I saw some videos of the whole Schezuan Sauce nonsense.
Riversidechat: I absolutely love how you addressed this! I am a teacher and part of my job is to make sure I explain expectations and guidelines for every assignment or assessment I give my students. I feel like giving the community a guideline is such an amazing solution and makes sure everyone is on the same page!! Thank you for addressing this and being so responsible with your online presence.
Alexis Watson-Lowe: It&#39;s sad that this has to be explicitly said. :/
Karian Despri: I literally just watched the FNAF Stumped Me video last night, woke up and saw this and was like &quot;oh no...&quot;<br><br>Thank you so much for addressing this immediately!

Anti-HyperLink: Why are comments I swear I deleted still here? Oh well, they can stay.
Joseph Witt: I AGREE WITH MAT. DO AS HE SAYS. JUST STOP.

Cmantheninja121: This should be boiled down into a YouTube short
Anaaaaaaa💞: Please do a theory about the new minecraft disc, Samuel Âberg? It sounds kinda...... interesting
Patrick Horton: Twitter users was blaming you for this mess. You have to be smarter and better than to accidentally call your Fanbase to  bother others.  If you keep this up,  you could face legal issues.
Superchick221B: Dang, I didn&#39;t even know this stuff was going on. This is what I get for not going online much.
Keith: number 3 on trending as of now thats crazy

Crabzalla: Huge respect for you man, this is why you dont get canceled
nellraq_seagulluniverse: Didn’t know an ARG could escalate so quickly 🥲
Shane Alexander: Can we all just acknowledge the fact of how responsible Mat and the team over the Game Theorists are and how respectable it is that the accept when they make mistakes and do everything within their power to correct those mistakes BEFORE they become widely talked about within or even outside of the community!
Leo Lovett: Tenno Heika banzai!!!
FreddyZ: Hey The Game Theorist the situation is nothing close to your fault you have been amazing to the community, and have always been responsible. You have gathered so much information for us in a safe and non harassing manner, I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything and I love your videos so much, you and the boys have inspired me to start creating some content.

lil wayne k3: Dang why you had to do this to this man he didn&#39;t do nothing and now he got to take responsibility you&#39;re sorry bro some of you guys are sorry
Treeco262: It&#39;s also to say this ARG may not even exist. U only speculated there were clues out there. Doesn&#39;t mean there actually r. At this point u better hope there&#39;s an ARG
Linz: couch videos are always the most serious vidoes.
Llycan_: much respect from me for addressing this in such a responsible way :)  The only question I have is why anyone would do this actually in real life :/ it&#39;s just a game. One addition I have is that if for some reason you think you just KNOW that some place like a restaurant IS connected, ask someone politely if you can ask some questions.
sans: all right to see the truth I saw you in in space with Mark and that was great I loved it so much
Catnado_22: Also make sure to see the new REAL Freddy&#39;s pizza delivery site that is going to be a real* pizza place. *Not real, it&#39;s a ghost restaurant that is using real restaurants to deliver different food.

Zorgdub: That was interesting.
ShwintyKat: 1. fix your hair man that flyaway is driving me batty<br>2. remember that your community is largely children, <b>not</b> the intelligent but very vocal minority of actual theorists
Joe Casillas: WatWat
Gatsby: I&#39;ve been a fan of GT and Mat Pat for years and am honestly not surprised that this happened, only bc the FNAF fandom is so chaotic and almost unhinged. I&#39;m more surprised that this hadn&#39;t happened before with a different fandom (I&#39;m sure it has, just not as publically)
Drakonov Reznov: No
Koopakid: Hey matpat on the 5th image of the “Research team bomber jacket” item on the merch store, would you like to share with the class what’s on the whiteboard?
olon1993: I have so much respect for Matpat and the rest of the Theorist crew. They seem so genuinely kind and responsible.
RockyStClaire: 🏅🏅🏅
Karl johnson: at this rate there making more games to make sure your work isnt done also so the meme can live on
Christian Lucas: I don’t blame mat. Doing ARG content long enough something negative was bound to happen but no one can predict when or what.
TheJester: What is an ARG? I forgot.
Klepto Kars: Matpatt if its okay to request can you speak about the act man situation and youtube? As youtube is being very anti consumer

Matthew Genperle: I know you don’t like controversy. But damn it Matt, this is why your subscriber count is so low compared to everyone at this point.

Cheese: Praise matt for actually, being responsible.
Philip G: Awesome response matpat why your one of the GOATs
Gamer Dan: Oof. the moment I seen your name on twitter. I figure it would involve this subject since many would bring it up after that video came out. I think it would&#39;ve been better if there was mentions of an active one before moving on.

Sandra Martin: Do a theroy on CoryXKenshin the begging of every spooky scary Sunday
fishyPlays: How bout I dont
BelatedBlade: Ty for this vid
Supervise: This shows that while MatPat enjoys living out his inner theorist, he is a very responsible person in real life, and will interfere if something in the community goes wrongs. It shows that the guy is indeed very aware of the stuff that goes on around him, be it anything slightly related to him. He will instantly put an end to anything stupid the community does and take the responsibility upon himself to publicly apologise and educate his fanbase on the incident and how to avoid stuff like it. Mad respect.
The Mighty Jimmy: This is why we can&#39;t have nice things I&#39;m only saying this because we can&#39;t do fun stuff in my school because of this exact reason
PlayerOne: Hi Mat
LittleZbot: Twitter blaming MatPat for this is the equivalent of being unable to find a serial killer and arresting the killer&#39;s mother for technically causing the murders.

Dante De'Von: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=8m40s">8:40</a> <br>I&#39;d like to note that there was an ARG that had a number in real life that you could call that had an automated message. <br>I&#39;m sorry that I don&#39;t remember what ARG or what the number was, but what I do remember is that this number was made available through the game itself. Those numbers are the only ones that should be called.
AllHailShadow: Hi MatPat, so Natewantstobattle&#39;s channel &#39;give heart records&#39; got hacked and he is asking anyone in contact with YouTube to help out..... please help 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
oliver is cooler than u: mainly just commenting because i want this video to get as much traction as possible in the algorithm, but also wanted to say that it was very responsible of you to post this, and i appreciate that you did. thanks, matpat.
Limes: Matpat I’m sry I never knew this
Alexander the great: I dont think there is/was an arg to begin with, scotts stated that fnaf will never be an arg, granted hes not heading the franchise anymore that precident still stands. Youre chasing a trail that goes no where
Rhys McCall: You can tell he&#39;s serious about this issue because it&#39;s not monetised something that hasn&#39;t been seen or I haven&#39;t seen him do since addressing that youtube may no longer exist

Everything ML: I just noticed the error spellings in each book of fazbear frights, maybe those could be a clue
Lance Nguyen: There should be clues guiding you in the ARG quest don&#39;t stray out from the path and ask the creators if questions if this is okay to do. I.e places, breaking, etc.
Tolkin: Definitely add never do anything illegal in there even Edmund the creator of the binding of Isaac said this during his arg to unlock the keeper
MrTvman 2!: Honestly matt pat I don&#39;t find your videos long,boring or even the slightest bad quality I find them really interesting and keep on making videos man I watched em since 3 years ALSO didn&#39;t see this coming-that&#39;s bout it BYE!

ProtoMario: Im sorry I am a millionaire and accidentally encouraged millions of fans to search real world towns for video game lore.

MechmanZero: Papa Matpat has a sit down with the internet to tell them to use some common sense and stop being stupid.
Sweetly_Signing669: MatPat, you’re amazing. This is one of the reasons why I have continued to follow you for so many years. I love your content but more than that, I love what you represent. You are respectful, honest, and explain mistakes. Both mistakes like this one that was out of your control but you had the control to stop it and like the food theory where How to cake it (another channel I’ve followed for years) called your video out. Thanks for being such a great role model for me to grow up to. I started watching your videos in 7th grade or so and I am now starting my 3rd year of my undergraduate degree and preparing for grad school in Ireland.
Ita C.: I would also suggest to be careful with arg phone numbers or email addresses specifically. Be sparing with your contact and share only what you think is critical, like the Catastrophe Crow email that was spammed so it stopped responding. And if possible for arg makers, maybe create a special bot phone number so you won&#39;t be bothered if you get an influx of calls.
N.I.A DM: It amazes how mature Mat is compared to many other YouTubers and actual adults

RUKUS Realm: Hey, Matt. I dont normally comment on videos or even like them (I&#39;m a terrible youtuber, I know) but this is one of the most respect worthy videos I&#39;ve seen from a big name. Thanks for this.
Ayedatboy: its the Mat talk
Jason Vega: number 3 trending but number 1 bc the other 2 dont count
sania..: MatPat cosplaying as the father i never had rn i love this man
Dane Klein: Stop doing FNAF theories
Jannis 11: noice
HungerCat: But what if the companies where involved with the mystery, we do not know hmm?
Airatorny 7166: also amphibia might not be done think about the prophecy your only hint also if you see this please sponser me because I gave you these theory
Starkill3r 306: I wonder what the secret message is in this video, let’s try and find out
TonyPlushYT: he&#39;s kinda like a parent talking down to us,
Jack Mclaughlin: everyone talking about the ARG but i&#39;m thinking about why scott cawthon picked a certain town in the middle of nowhere
Elliott: Something to consider: if you feel you need to ask a shop owner or someone in town about an arg or a possible location, be friendly! Consider letting them know what you’re working on, or if they have no info, ask if you can leave a sign or something outside that gives other hunters a no-go on the shop.
Time Monger: This is why you leave the hunting to mat who ever called is a bit on the slow side. Mat is not responsible for what happend it is devoted FNAF fans that has RUINED THE HUNT
evanstop: it took 2 mins for you to say stop! teh algorithmas gotta get 8 mins in more important?
DDOG: I wonder if there can be backroom thoeries🤔
TheDrNotNice: sorry if this seems like word soup, i just want this warning to get out to as many eyes as possible. not Kim Kardashian, nor NBA, nor Fortnite, it is fnaf, it is not ramen, nor cupcakes
AnglerEXE: New idea for a theory which is “Which super smash bros ultimate attack is strongest by force applied like kirbies hammer attack”
Kristian A: Can I ask were are you going to fly ? Just interest , nothing sus.
dino_sour13: I’m glad you addressed this because it could have gotten bad. Thx for making this video 😊
Olive Johnson: You aren&#39;t a smart person, are you?
Naxshaw Aryx: Don&#39;t see why mat should have to apologize for dumb fans being so dead brained... this isn&#39;t his fault for adults acting like uneducated children.
Frey: Best apology video I’ve seen all year
Ryan: I love it how he somehow looks incredibly happy, but you can feel he&#39;s mad as hell and wants to scream at us
aykut tuhral: ok
Gordaki prime: The moment you get some jack skeleton vibes lol
KatesCrystalLitPath: Gregory is not a robot but said he was before
Nova uzumaki 1999: You predicted the restaurant making
Lola: This video shows so much maturity and actually addresses the issue without dancing around it. It&#39;s not Mat&#39;s fault at all, because no one could&#39;ve predicted this, but the fact that he addresses it and took it upon himself to solve the issue is very mature and something that most adults can&#39;t do as well as him. <br><br>thanks, Mat. We love you!
Alfredo Amaya: dadpat lecturing his children, distinguishing the difference between having fun and harassment. I love it
Unorthodox: I’m glad matpat explains things with examples and doesn’t make the viewers feel dumb
FHZ: and that&#39;s why I like MatPat. S2.
Jess Bergstrom: Notice how the apology itself was efficient? 4 minutes. Addressing the scenario in a succinct way and instantly apologizing.
MostMagicPickle: This is why team theorist has always remained in my list of favourite creators. They take responsibility, explain what/how it went wrong, and 9/10 times have offered a solution. It just strikes me as being genuine. And nowadays it feels like many creators lack that connection, that spark. The fact the entire team made this a top priority and got it out as soon as they could…I have nothing but respect for them. <br><br>P.S. get those button down shirts; they be on point
Turbo Tracks: The day matpat got a ceased and assist
UnityFusion: Hey Dream, take notes
goku hacker: I have a idea for a video its about a thing called ashly wsfd it&#39;s in acanator if you only answer yes it shows up and when you search it on youtube or Google it shows teen suicide prevention I just wonder what this all means
Aphyr Wright: I&#39;m so glad this video is trending. This is really great for future use. Thank you for educating us.
Kei: well said mat :D
Dahlia_Gurl: I like how MatPat had enough maturity to address this issue and stop this ARG. He already has a huge fan base and responsibility to apologize to the businesses that had been harassed. Thank you MatPat.
mattjackson382: These are very sensible rules. It very reminiscent of the unwritten rules of a game of hide and seek as kids
froggy leaf: When a YouTuber is taking responsibility and even offering solutions for the problem(s) almost imidiatly, you know you found one you should stick with
hey man.: Thank you for keeping us safe Matt And Team. <br><br>I never participate in things like this but appreciated all the work that goes into creating and solving things. As a spectator I never imagined that something like this could happen. I hope we all take this to heart and stay safe and responsible.
Kinkade: Please do a film theory about how to win surviver.
Unknown_ EXO: This is why ur one of my favorite creators out there: your honesty, kindness, and problem solving. I really like how u address the problem as soon as possible
IgnisRex64: Guess I&#39;ll go back to calling Gamestops about Battletoads.
Yahye Abdi: Matpat, don&#39;t forget the new Minecraft update, especially the Warden. I expect a lore-filled episode soon.
Discord /ANzKSS8 Learn More of The Bible There: “The violence done by the wicked will drag them away because they refuse to do what is right.” Proverbs 21:7 NET Bible

Conner: Bruh
F3N: fnaf/game theory fans trying not to be mentally disabled for 5 minutes:

Josué Naim Zárate Cordero: but hey, that&#39;s just a PSA. A COMMUNITY PSA!
Arash TA: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=4m43s">4:43</a> nice
World's Smallest Destron781: huh. it&#39;s nice that he stopped it before it got out of hand.
therealeightabove: Dadpat giving the community a talking to
Kaity Sears: To all YouTubers: THIS is how you do an apology. Taking accountability and creating a plan of action moving forward to make sure it never happens again. I’m constantly impressed with the team. Keep up the great work
Huntereprov: You may wanna post a list on the reddit or in the discord. This is a great way to make it scene now, but put it in a more permanent spot like a pinned post or message
Ungabungado: This feels like when the teacher gets a bad note from the sub
tomasbar: Hey, cool jacket!
Nonis: 👍
CJ Werner: I’d like to nominate Mat as the official guide for how to properly address, handle, apologize, and mitigate oopsie dasies
Odett Grijalva: YOU GOTTA REACT TO THE NEW MANDELA CATALOGUE VOLUME
protestifications: big respect for being responsible enough to address this before it got out of hand
Comical Otaku: Hey Matpat I have a theory for you so you know how the warden was designed by the same person who made the Aether mod maybe the warden is somehow connected to Aether.
Support Me Please ♡: Hii
Sandeep Albert: What is an arg?
Davga: If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart the Father raised Him from the dead you will be saved. Romans 10:9
SimpTheSammy: He&#39;s literally so nice about everything-
• o l l i e •: Didn’t know about that book! Thank for telling me about that!
DOP3C4T: He’s so angry lol
Roddy Derkatz: I’m going to the airport as well
Jamescraft2008: By posting this video and rules on YouTube for arg’s and not saying it on twitter or Reddit. I feel like makes it just show how much more it is important to have rules in place even if some you may not like
FeCNOHVenator: Mat has realized the power he has over the masses
Gammonboi69: My man literally just went and apologised, cleared up mistakes, took accountability and provided a solution in the span of ten minutes before heading out to go to the airport. Gigachad energy, Godspeed to you King.
TheGAMEboX: yo matt do a video on Minecraft theres so much new lore to explore in the new update
Leah 👈𝓕**СК МЕ - СНЕ𝓒𝓚 𝓜𝓨 Р𝓡0𝓕𝓘𝓛Е 💗: The fact that Matpat stepped forward, addressed the issue, apologized for it and took upon himself to make sure it doesn&#39;t happen again, shows a great deal of both maturity and responsibility. I&#39;m sure this video alone will help many new arg players in the future. So, thank you, Matpat.
That Guy Called Jah: The funny thing is that I saw a couple comments on the FNAF video that expressed concerns on this happening and hoped to avoid this from happening.<br>It’s unfortunate that it still went this way but kudos to you and the team for addressing this issue ASAP.
CJ Werner: I cannot get over how much I love how well you handled this situation
JakesJustBetter: Best apology and solution on YouTube. Props to you! Instead of fake crying and skipping blame you handled it respectfully.
DuckBee: You need to write a 10 commandments for ARG hunting
Stranger 011105: Dad of the internet ♥️
Sad -: We love you matpat you’re truly an amazing person and content creator. Thanks
V-Cassinova: He dealt with this amazingly and this is a reason I love this man and his channel.
Dark Overseer: What the hell is a ARG hunt?
Brookie_ Pooh: Love how you addressed this. Very professional. This is how apologies sound be addressed
ManyMonsters Media: Thank you DadPat 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
CrocsAreThePurestFormOfWeaponisedAutism: Can someone explain what happened? I haven&#39;t watched MatPat in a while, so I need a catch-up.

Arch1ved: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=6m48s">6:48</a> dream would disagree

leprechan9 ps5: Welp im glad that I&#39;m 12 and understand all of this
CamilleLuLu: This is why I love MatPat and his channels
Lost Engine Productions: Now this is how you do an apology video! Honest, straight to the point, and made ASAP.
Odst soldier: No he doesn’t mean this we need to continue this is a TRAP 🪤
Ronald McHitman: Lol
brewski118sempire: Matt is in dad mode
Md Mostafa Musharrof: Yikes
Aphidolldea: I have no idea what’s going on but, preach
Darnell edwards: I did not know this
 is so cool
Patukakkonen : Day 160 of asking matpat to make a clone drone in the danger zone theory.
Sarah Brindley: Make a bugsnax theory please please!?is a game on epic games
Shy Katt: I feel like, fnaf doesn&#39;t probbaly have a real life arg, maybe online. But, you might be inspiring them to make an ARG just like gravity falls. :)
Maiden: glad you caught it early when you did, this could have escalated real quick
Brian Spero Jr: Only MattPat can put out a statement to both legally protect his channel AND LEGITIMATELY MEAN IT TO US.
TorpedoRunner: Mad respect, MatPat!
Jemmy Jemz Jem: Oops!
fortnite wif de coca cola: I have sleep deprivation
🏵𝓫𝓾𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓬𝓾𝓹🏵: great work Mat Pat!!!! :D thank you for making this!
Brodi Smith: <a href="about:invalid#zCSafez"></a><a href="about:invalid#zCSafez"></a>😀😃😄
Bennń Ben Benn: Matpat is a guy that’s you’d make friends with but once he gets mad you get reallll scared
Yorancy: When I saw the video it didn&#39;t even crossed my mind that this somehow could have turned into a very dangerous situation, but reading more about it and now seeing you talk about it, I&#39;m really glad you talked about it! You&#39;re a very responsible person, MatPat, kudos to you
Sarah Miller: ARG RULE BOOK! YES! I LOVE THIS!
Daniel Campbell: I have so much respect for MattPat.
James Laux: Its really kinda incredible that MattPat has to list out etiquette that should just be common sense. Especially considering that any even somewhat dedicated fan of FNaF would know that incidents like this have happened before, such as the one involving the real world pizzeria. It just seems like it should be obvious that if there were an ARG taking place it would not involve any local businesses,  nor would they have any information they could provide in relation to said ARG. <br><br>USE YOUR BRAINS
Octolink: If you&#39;re looking for a clip of the stop please stop scene, it&#39;s on my channel just copy the link &lt;3
Ornstein: This marks the beginning of The Theorist&#39;s Creed, may it guide you secret seekers to honorable victory.
Rachel Garcia: Sorry for being that person but what the heck is an ARG
Cat of doom: He is just trying to suppress the truth
RedJackalShorts: Whoa, i didn&#39;t even know that happened. So cool and respectful to make a episode like this to stop that harrassment
tyler harbert: Wow this is surprising can&#39;t believe it just wow
redblue heart: If that what you going to do maby start  community bord or a discord of something where the fans can work together with a set of rules
Sammy’s Adventures: Sir yes sir 🫡
SB 23_Rielle Cassandra Pacis: Its 1 am and im glad i stumbled upon this
Ethan Arnone: What we all love about you Mat is that you know when things are getting out of hand and  know how to deal with it ASAP.
Leonardo Nascimento Pires: MatPat is quickly becoming one of my most respected Youtubers by being extremely responsible and calling out stuff when it has bad, unpredicted side effects.<br><br>This guy is a model citizen.
Hobo: are you going to cover the pastra aeg
Blind Bandit: Knew nothing about this yet I&#39;m still very impressed with the response. Keep being youtube&#39;s cool uncle who tells us cool things
Fumikage Tokoyami: Hey Matpat, I told you a riddle on the whereabouts of the location from the last video. If you didn’t see it before, now is your chance. It is for you to see the answer, but for you to figure out.<br><br>“I’m hidden yet noticeable. I’m locked away, like every other day. If I was you, find my clue, and your wish may come true. Throw one down, and maybe you will find what can’t be found.”
Conaday Sweet: I don’t do these kind of puzzles but I think this is kind of for every day of life and applies to other things to and that’s why I like your channel Because you have fun theories and you want us to be safe and you want us to be respectful and you have standards for us but I think it’s really cool
tetra: wtf is an arg
Sammuree: Definitely not your fault. Crazed fans clearly have no common sense.
Jaelyn wise: I want to help with this arg bc this is the first arg I’ve known about but I’m not old enough to actually do anything to help :(
Rabbles the Binx Productions: If I&#39;m calling anyone for delicious pizza, it&#39;s definitely not going to be Domino&#39;s. <br><br>Unless the <i>only</i> other option is Papa John&#39;s. But even then, I wouldn&#39;t call it &quot;delicious&quot;. Just slightly better than the worst pizza in existence.
Isabella Mead: 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gacha Mochi: I’m really glad your fixing the mistakes as soon as possible and ur addressing it. I really love ur videos and love the creativity and hard work you put into them! 😁
dash2justice: It&#39;s battletoads all over again
redblue heart: When did this happen?
Tobias Laschtowitz: this is a comment for the algorythm so it pops up in others recommendations
caua bonetto: pls update the Fortnite theory
KoreanDemon54: Bro I thought this was gonna be a huge arg that ended up going wrong somehow, glad it’s (hopefully) not gonna hurt anyone
WhiteRaven696: God, he’s so hot. 😫
Spicy Peppers: To be honest, with how young most of your fans are, what were you expecting...
Marx Rhett: I think we all have been there, excited and trying to do it alone and rushing ahead without contacting anyone, and that&#39;s not always bad, but for ARGS it&#39;s important we complete it as a group. Not for speed, but to avoid doing something someone else has already done. I am glad you addressed that in rule number 5 because it might seem obvious, but it&#39;s easy to forget when you are excited.
JeriTheWeirdChild: Alright ik almost EVERYONE is saying this but it&#39;s true, matpat deserves MAD RESPECT for this. One of the only youtubers that actually talk about a serious topic and taking it seriously rather than brushing it off or just faking their sorrow.<br><br>Mature, responsibility, fierce, respectful, understanding, &amp; more. Just so much respect to matpat and the crew for this issue. <br>Take care man❤
Dariel Gomez: hahaha he’s talking to all his 10 year old fans
Curupted Corner Live: You should not have had to make this, that is not okay. I respect you MatPat
Shirley Timple: You did this
Dani Reyes: Well done
•°《Lil Moon Beary》°•: Gotta respect you for noticing this quickly!
Thawthug: There is an etiquette, see geo-cacheing for instance,
Bananabeargab: this is the only one who actually talks about the situation instead of crying and telling ppl he did nothing<br>mad respect
IntoTheForest: Imagine there is no arg and scott just like: 😐
FC90 Air Rescue: t
J W: get the word out
The Head Doctor: Matpat is the most genuine and most helpful<br>He&#39;s the only youtuber that can be serious about apologies
extreme dumbness: No
IndominusX: Finally you&#39;ve acknowledged it. When it comes to the fnaf community, they will be very reckless just to get some lore about this funny bear game.
Zalera Arkane: Wow. Imagine making an apology video because humanity has become so stupid, they need to be told things that are common sense. <br><br>Do parents or school not bother teach you how to not be stupid anymore? Or does everyone just sit around letting media rot your brains?
starlight: this is a real adult
Skelly: This video was a PSA: Puzzle Solvers Announcement
SPlenk: By the way can i just add that he just kept on talking just to get the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=10m00s">10:00</a> of the revenue
bluesyleader: What a great response. If mat pat is going to be held responsible to what his fans do, it’s only fair that he holds them responsible as well.
Puer Latinophilus: Please make a video on the current act man controversy!
Margarine4Error: MatPat did this so well! He did not assume the offenders were being malicious, just overexcited and naive to the world of ARG. He kept this in mind as he calmly explained where the boundaries are, how they were crossed, and the best way to move forward. And he took responsibility by personally apologizing to those affected by this. CLAP AND A HALF TO YOU, TEAM THEORIST!!!
Fnaf army: Ö
Magical_ toast: I feel like I’m being lectured by my parent even though I didn’t do that😅
Sky Williams: r u tryna be a jeopardy host stil??? pls do it🙏🙏 i’m tryna figure out how to sign the petition
zing: Thank you for addressing this before it got too embedded in there to be salvaged, and then you for the resolution you presented, I tip my hat to you sir, best of luck in future topics and theorizing
VGINSPRD SOBEPR: Stop posting videos on FNAF. We all know you and it’s creator work together to make these videos blatantly misleading your fans.
Whoisme45: BUT THATS JUST A LIFE THEORY

Jessy Aicrag: Whenever I see matpat actually recognize when he may be wrong and addresses it unlike other YouTubers just makes me proud!!
Republictrooper194: Who is possessing monty(I believe Casedy due to the anger,violence, the fact that the other soul in golden freddy was reborn as a new anamatronic and hatred of aftons)chica and Roxy? <b>WE NEED TO KNOW!!! MATPAT!!!WE NEED TO KNOW!!!</b>
SilentRain97: Hey, it&#39;s probably kind of a stupid question, but I&#39;ve still gotta ask. What does ARG mean?
SSSSwawna: Hey, thanks for addressing us, Matt! You really do help us communicate well together as a community! Just keep on being you and the future looks promising!
Yuri: POV: your favourite teacher has to give everyone a lecture about the rules because someone did something bad<br>(lots of respect to you addressing this asap in such an amazing way)
Spiffo: Typical dumb kids calling companies.
King_Of_Nothing: Mad respecta for addressing this asap, Mat
Tara De Wet: MatPat is the best❤
Mała Gosia: What the hell.. what are you guys doing over there? 😤 You are ruining the fun for everyone
Connor Nixon: Theory idea: so ennard is all the Funtime animatronics so how is he so small if he is all of them? I would like if this question was answered thanks matpat
Ruben Martinez: Mat can you make a theory about the deep dark buildings like the redstone testing build and the behavior of the warden
Suspicious Dino: Hell yeah DadPat for the win preach the truth
Just Arkon: The fact that Matpat stepped forward, addressed the issue, apologized for it and took upon himself to make sure it doesn&#39;t happen again, shows a great deal of both maturity and responsibility. I&#39;m sure this video alone will help many new arg players in the future. So, thank you, Matpat.
Aidan Amadis: Yes sir
Jessica Xia / 悦悦: This just comes to show how much power MatPat has
Heaven Robinson: Luckily, I&#39;ve never really been a huge fan of fnaf, so I didn&#39;t even watch that other videos. So that&#39;s one less person to be part of the problem ✨👌
Tristan Leder: Kudos, Matt, seriously.  This is the way to handle this sort of incident—calm, firm, and moving forward.
· Midnight ·: One day mat you should do a theory vid on the sb dlc since it&#39;s official there is one
AddictedToKH: Came here to echo the comments saying, there&#39;s a lot of overlap between ARGs and not only escape rooms, but also geocaching. If you have to ask &quot;is this a clue?&quot; it most likely isn&#39;t. 99.999% of &quot;game masters&quot; WANT their puzzle to be solved, so no matter how subtle a clue seems, it WILL make sense in the greater narrative. In geocaching, sometimes a piece of trash is just a piece of trash (that you absolutely should still pick up and dispose of properly). In escape rooms, sometimes a locked door is just a locked door (for instance, storage).
PanMan: MatPat Scott cawthon made a Freddy Fazbear pizza delivery website <br>Check it out
Dorian Cauceglia: This is just stupidly funny.  MATPAT is your refrigerator running?
Liam: It shouldn&#39;t be MatPat appologizing, But he did it anyways. What a champ :)
Its your boy!!: You guys wanna feel old?<br>The first fnaf game was 8 years ago…
BoShA: nice haircut
Mike: The outcry was so cringe. Ppl were scared kids were gonna go searching for the arg. Like okay a kid is gonna have $1k+, drive/taxi/uber to an airport, bypass tsa, board a plane solo, driver/taxi/uber to different pizza locations. Fly back etc. yeah sorry i aint taking the b8. Sorry you have so many haters thats you felt you needed to make this video. The phone call thing makes sense, but wasnt the main topic of concern.
slithepogchamp: Matpat said it the best way anyone could
cutest dollete: I love how mat actually apologizes and makes the reason why he&#39;s apologizing for those who aren&#39;t aware...god I love this channel
Midget Mya: What is ARG
therealcoolbean: That&#39;s nice how matpat cares about this stuff other youtubers may have just let it happen so thanks mat.
abachniv: Ah, children.
Rose Thorns: Great job for addressing this a soon as possible. Thank you.
Dominik Novák: F
klaudio21: Hey matpat i have a theory about fnaf sb<br>At the intro when freddy was in stage with the other and gregory was inside of freddy <br>thats when glichtrap was trying to control<br>the animatronics and i have an other one <br>that vanessa was trying to get gregory <br>before he got inside of freddy
BXu: This feels like a teacher on a field trip with a massive class XD
Sertine33: stop being Unresponsible!!!!!
jc kid: Dear mat pat this comment is
Melancholic Egg: What if this is the promo of a hidden Game Theory ARG!?<br><br><br><br><br><br>I’m gonna start the search at Matpat’s house
🎅MrBaconMan🎅: Maybe check the Apple/IPhone Port Files For FNAF 3 or if you already did that check like, Samsung, google, Amazon, android, anything
Nightingale's_tail: This is a responsible adult! I&#39;m very happy to be a part of the theory community
CraftyMojo: What&#39;s the tldr?
3NC0D3DCL0WN :P: history repeats itself
Matthew Burdick: But MatPat, those shops in those towns are hiding Schezuan Sauce from us!
Aleksandra A.: Commenting to boost the algorithm

Google User: I haven&#39;t watched that FNAF video thing
DaPotato: Im glad you addressed this.
Kyle Quigley: Try Amanda the avenger
Tomix: 8989
Youtube_User: What a Chad
Blightcon: MatPat may be the only YouTuber out there who goes out of his way to publicly apologize the MOMENT he realizes he was wrong. He instantly takes responsibility for his actions (or others, in this case). I&#39;ve never seen anyone do that before. He&#39;s a kind person, and you can tell. We understand you didn&#39;t mean any of this to happen, Matthew! I suppose some of us just wanted to help, and didn&#39;t realize that what we were doing was bad. Thanks for immediately stepping up, though. You&#39;re a true role model.
that one animator: This is probably one of the few apology videos were I&#39;ve actually heard the person apologizing say sorry. Great video btw Mat.
Danny Manny: DadPat coming in with the &quot;We need to talk.&quot;
Gabe: Hey MatPat apparently a couple of days ago or something a ACTUAL Five nights at Freddy&#39;s burned down near a hospital what I would do is report it to the police if they know the lore of five nights at freddys
Google User: Is it true that you are my dad and you got the milk
Killian Michael: i listen to all your videos and this is the the one that got me to like and subscribe.
Axel: ❤
Carlos Castro: Thank you for being human we appreciate you
Kayaba J: Perhaps a rule to add, if a violation of any of the previous rules is neccessary for the ARG, it should be clearly stated within the clues.
Nerd 🤓: MANDELA VOL 333
Babling Bafoon: Link to this video under ALL future ARG videos.
Autumn: MATPAT, the man with too much power and a hungry theory army behind him.
behind the door: i dont wanna be the only one who realized that the title didn&#39;t start with &quot;game theory: title here&quot;
Aoz the Stupid myth: Sussy Felix
A Nerdy Hobbit Girl: bless
Mister Jekal: Just gonna throw this out there but to my knowledge no arg has ever used a private contact UNLESS it was blatantly obvious it was part of the arg. But to add even if the person or email or what not is part of it please for the love of God do not harass them. Thank God matt addressed this. This could have been really bad
NiGHTSChao689: Mat lookin like a super young Max Payne. Just sayin
Anonymous Poet: I wasn&#39;t even involved, now I feel bad for dissapointing<br> Internet Dad 😞
Water Lettuce Productions: I love how respectful and understanding matpat is, he understands problems happening and addresses them in a timely manner to reduce stress on the communities affected.
Chanted1: A FNAF ARG seems like a bad idea......it may be because of the theme of dead kids or the obsessive nature of its fans or even the weird push pull game the creator plays with the audience......seems like he wants you guys to go crazy.
Samuel Baker: Understandable <br>Have a nice day MatPat
TrippyCxspvr: Hey look a PROPER YOUTUBER APOLOGY
NekoHanyouHanaru: Mad respect to Mattpat <br>Even if I don’t know what an ARG is
Natural 20s: The only bad part of this video is when he called dominos delicious. Man’s never been to new york I can tell
Wilderbeast: Happy Super Month! 👩🏿‍🦰
Capu & Foxy: Perfect. I never understood how this worked, and now I do and in the best possible way. Thanks Mat 🤟
Toxic Klupper: Can someone please explain to me what an ARG is? Augmented reality game? Or is it something else.
selena: this is what happens when children insist on being involved in what should’ve been a horror franchise
Stud Spud: I was confused about this at first but then I read and saw what was happening. Mad respect for you Matpat. Amazing how you addressed the problem, you gave solutions, and laid down the rules. <br><br>Enjoy your trip and you&#39;re amazing!
BingBingWachungus: This guy NEEDS to remember that he isn&#39;t a real celebrity, and that his &quot;audience&quot; is a bunch of infants who would call a Chuck E. Cheese and say &quot;Can I speak with Freddy Fivenights? Mister Game Theory himself told me to call you.&quot;.<br><br>Anyone with common sense could have seen this coming a mile away.
jojo Brojoe: I never seen it but I really respect you and your theroys bro its cool and smart I would love you to do theroys on my games for fun your so awesome man
Asa Draper: do a theory on monkey island
Luther: You sound like my teacher when we called out this one place cus they did smth wrong .<br><br>apreciate this lol
cameltoe: this was actually something i thought was gonna happened while watching that episode but actually thought it was gonna be more extreme. huge huge huge respect to matt and the game theorists for talking about this.
Orange man: Thank goodness it wasnt anything very extream, i was a but afraid when i saw the  title of the video

Catherine Aggrey: woah mad respect😔
Pixel-Pop: Someone tell me what the gravity falls ARG is 😩 please! My son is a huge bill fan.
Zimoria: I saw the FNAF video as a call for information, not a call to action. So glad Matt&#39;s trying to nip this in the bud and get everyone on the same page. ARGs are fun if done right.
Viotvoodoo: Why do I feel like someone s going to figure outa loophole
Vanessa Tirado: Other YouTubers need to take note on this video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Archie Apple: I hope its ok now but GO MATT!!!

Oty: Fnaf fans calling random businesses and asking about fnaf sounds very familiar. Almost as if it happened in 2014 and Scott Cawthon had to ask everyone to stop doing that
santiago navarrete: En inglés:<br><br>let&#39;s see scott has already said both in the books and on his social networks that he never but never opened something like that if in history there was a certain place with a name similar to a local city or country it is simple considence so there will never be never will be done an ARG because it doesn&#39;t need it, in addition, everything from the fnaf lore is discovered with the games, books or products that have to do with the fnaf saga, nothing is discovered or revealed with real life numbers or locations or any object in life real understood idiot yes I&#39;m sorry for telling you like that but it&#39;s common sense that a company like domino or burgen king has nothing to do with fnaf and you don&#39;t need to dox someone or search their personal information well understood well now we Let&#39;s see and stop stealing information from anyone<br><br>En español:a ver scott ya a dicho tanto en los libros como en sus redes sociales que nunca pero nunca abria algo asi si en la historia habia cierto lugar con un nombre parecido a una ciudad local o pais es simple  considencia asi que no nunca habra nunca se hara una ARG por que no lo nesesita ademas todo lo del lore de fnaf se descubren con los juegos libros o productos que tengan que ver con la saga de fnaf nada se descubre o se revela con la vida real numeros o localizaciones o cualquier objecto en la vida real entendido idiota si lo ciento por decirte asi pero es que es de sentido comun que una compania como domino o burgen king no tiene nada que ver con fnaf y no se nesesita doxear a alguien o buscar en su informacion personal bien entendido pues bien ahora nos vemos y deja de robarle informacion a cualquiera
ProcessCleric18: Well I suppose we can still dig through game files
Yanntastisch: Thank you so much for adressing this! I didn&#39;t even hear about that escalation. Am so glad it didn&#39;t went further.<br>Also incredbile how fast you put together this set of guidelines, and that everyone creating or paticipating an ARG should keep in mind.
Let’sgo Gameing: Can you do lore on “leap day”
DrySushi: The ultimate &quot;I&#39;m not mad, just disappointed&quot;
Luke Chandler: Me over here thinking, “What does ARG stand for?” 🤔
James Zipp: Just Shows you how professional MatPat really is.
Kartik Gupta: This is the sweet teacher angry at the entire class
kbunnyyy: I think we can all agree, every youtuber needs to take a page from your notes. this was so professional &amp; we theorists appreciate you for doing this
Madaraoluv2: You&#39;re finally admitting that you&#39;re wrong
Bynn Rowell: stop all fnaf content, is garbage
query: No ads I feel all mighty 😂
Felix Li: Much as I love Matpat, it’s still kinda disappointing that he somehow felt he had to go for the “messy hair makes apology videos better” strategy. 🤷🏻‍♂️
moon boss: MatPat has too much power, but at least he uses it responsible and calls back on mistakes.
Mochiowe: this made me feel like matpat was my dad telling me how to act in like a kindergarton place
Enzo: J,
🗿 Moyai: I admit to having fault here. I am sorry. I will do better. Not much else I can say.
Plamen Todorov: &quot;Whoops, they all did it again...&quot;
Aryeh Baruch: TBH when I watched the last video, I did briefly think something like &quot;Huh, I hope a swarm of curious Game Theorists doesn&#39;t descend on Utah like a Biblical plague&quot;.<br><br>I probably should have posted an &quot;Um maybe add a common-sense don&#39;t-do-a-swarm caveat addendum&quot; when I did lol
-The Collector's Apprentice-: amanda the adventurer video? not being pushy just a request for a possible future theory or gtlive gameplay vid.
KowaretaTC: Ngl kinda wanna do an arg myself<br>Anyone got any tips on how to start one up?
Liz Fitzgerald: I am new to the fnaf arg so i will be safe and resposible in this arg hunt
Homa Edo: dad pat grounding us 😓<br><br>(this is a joke dont horass anyone)
Umbr Ella: You have great talent for apologizing while not taking any real blame. <br>You shouldn&#39;t have claimed there is an ARG without developers saying it. <br>This is why. It&#39;s your bad. <br>The protocol is very easily just wait until someone tells you there is an arg and follow their instructions.
ItsRhysInnit: bruh
Freedom_Rider 697: This is why this is the one channel I&#39;m sticking with because you are just like BAM right to the point and don&#39;t get all sad and emotional like others just boom like that to the point and you are direct with it. That is why matpat is the goat.
Darian Blair: Hey Mat just saying I&#39;m a Utah local and willing to dig around locally with respect.. I&#39;ve had some thoughts regarding a really small local folk lore regarding a small character pizzaria that was local when I was a kid but now I cant find anything about it.. <br>reach out to me..
David Latimer: Glad you brought it up and dealt with it like this. This could&#39;ve been a lot worse but you handled it well. Not your fault Matt, but thanks man &lt;3
Who hurt Liam?: So uh the Xbox version of FNAF 3 had an update not too long ago
gay boy mcgee: honestly, matpat is the only content creator that I believe is possible of genuine apologies, you are a great guy matpat, you have helped me through so much and I grew up watching your channels, I&#39;m happy that you addressed this in such a mature way, thank you for making my childhood great
Zodiak Games: Respec
Vyzard: I&#39;m suddenly reminded how that new batman&#39;s riddler &#39;inspired&#39; his followers, kinda scary how idle minds have the potential to do so much when influenced by social media
Charliehotdog79: How come I expected this...
THEFBI140: Mat is the only YouTuber I know of that takes responsibility rather than blame it on something else
Welp OK: This is giving &quot;disappointed teacher after a bad note from a sub&quot; vibes
Bez: How do you not anticipate this when you’ve literally made video essays on problematic content creators and the  influence they have on their fan base and being responsible with such influence
Mini zack2: You know how you seen buzz bunny and min hugged in the games ston and there disused perere I think exp 1006 you have to fine more but that’s just a Theo a kaleb theo
Scargat: looks like we got too close to figuring out the fnaf lore and mat had to stop us for more content.... challenge accepted mat <br>on a real note, this was to be expected and thankfully it wasn&#39;t too devastating, things could have gone a lot worse. props to u mat
Tyler B: In other news, YouTuber tells a bunch of kids and teens to investigate towns and gets surprised when towns get annoyed
Aaron demon wolf: Hey try doing little nightmare 1 or little nightmare 2
Tymations Studios: When I saw everyone try to cancel him cuz of it I was like “I’m pretty sure he wasn’t intending for any of this to happen, just thought this would be something fun and harmless”
Average_J0J0.3njoyer: Common MatPat W
Griffodo: congrats for 200K likes already
Sea beast: I think Scott made the places not match up in the story because he had nothing planned for an ARG. I do hope that this video or it’s message to every one who thinks the ARG so this madness could end. Mat did the right thing by making this video and admitting to his mistake.
Mini zack2: I found lore
Alicia Martinez: DadPat had to call us to the couch and give us a stern talking to. Lol.<br>But seriously, it’s very thoughtful of MatPat to hurry to the camera and talk about this mess as soon as he got the news. He mentioned having a plane to catch and he honestly could have brushed the situation off and claimed he ‘didn’t know about it’ until he had returned from his trip. But he cares so much about his community and the individuals actively participating in his content that he’s willing to take those extra seconds that he can to inform, educate and correct others on their mistakes as well as his own. Love this channel and the Theorist Team as a whole. 💚
Phantom Plays: And Also SuperHorrorBro And Matpat would get along with each-other
Adán Ramírez: I actually think the NUMBER ONE RULE should be don’t seek for a ARG adventure without the actual developers confirming there’s an ARG
Itzel Illescas: a responsible youtuber is what the world needs &lt;3
Undisputed_Garbage: Honestly the fact this video was made is funny AF
Spakara: I would have never guessed that this would have happened because of a FNAF ARG XD
frost fire gaming: Hi Matpat can you do more episodes on fortnite since chapter 3 season 3 is now out
dejwisekk d: huge rspect matt you addressed it very well and everyone should respect everybody and not calling places for game lore matt you are the best!
Böbber: Idgaf about FNAF-lore and I never saw that FNAF-video, so this is kinda fascinating lol
Phantom Plays: But one thing Matpat Should Do Is Find Out Where And How Pokemon Came To Ash&#39;s World?
Five nine NOW!: We wish you luck
Sounderleaf: Ladies and Gents, PAT DAD
Part1zanJok3r Gaming: What idiots keep doing this?
Gabriel Navia: thanks for telling us
ELMO MUGENS: BR
Daniel’s Garden: I have a lot of respect for u Matt, while I’m not a fnaf fan (at least of it now) I love ur film theory’s and the fact that u address controversy over something silly and sought it immediately with an apology and responsibly is just pog
Stubby Eastern I: Mat Pat I have a food theory Idea: This is the concept<br>How many days can you survive with just eating one food (just one food) and how many days you can survive<br>and what is the best food you can eat once to survive the most days
Karuma_Yuki: Whats ARG
Zephyrus Cwikla: thunder struck outside my house when he said internally screaming :{
Ducky Momo: You should 100% look into the original ARG, called The Secret.  It’s been going on for decades and there is still tons of mystery’s left to solve including finding real treasure!
CameroniAndCheese: Wait there’s a black jacket now? Cooool
Brayden Beckmeier: Can you do a warden theory video or at least check it out
Mike moonlight: pretty sure everyone is sorry for causing trouble and we will solve anything to help you especially me
Hmmm: agreed
tiagghho: matpat did a rick morty situation
Brooks Roberson: I DUUUDE   mat omg  am sorry this happend holy god like
Yoriichi Tsugikuni: The vidio is on 6th on trending
hansel huistra: Thank you for giving us a solution!
GhøstmãrēXD: Mat sounds like a disappointed teacher who just got told what happened when they were off by the substitute teacher
SHAMON OF SHRED: I like this, very respectful MatPat. I know if I was the person working and getting 100,000 calls asking the same thing I would get really annoyed
OJKD: what does that mean i mean the name of the video i cant understand<br>pls someone answer me
G.N.M: That wasnt Matpat speakin to us, that was DadPat😂😪
The baritone boys: You are my favorite YouTuber
EpicGirlSonic: MatPat did NOT have to apologise for his fanbase messing up, yet he did it anyway. Respect.
Toxxitone: Great video, great address of the issue, and great problem solving by actually giving a solution for the issue!<br><br>One huge, massive, Glaring problem with this video though...<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Domino&#39;s pizza is garbage, and you should never call them for &quot;delicious&quot; pizza.
Trey: Sorry mat pat
Kennedy’s World’s: I really love it if you did like a theory on one of the Minecraft ARG like oldroot  or something like that
Trey: Sorry I thought It was in bounds
TheBumbleBeeMovie: Dang I’ve never seen something like that happen. I just watch the videos… <br>It’s pretty crazy
Shadow dump: Someone should totally do a self contained &#39;training video&#39; for ARGs, old style production quality and all.
Luka Visser: This is nice
Simon in-Well: It&#39;s the Kantian principle of doing only that which, if everyone does it, does not cause an issue to society
Purple Shy: This can also be helpful in making ARGs.
BunnyTheHutt: Honeslty you shouldn’t of had to apologize, you didn’t try and tell anyone to doxx anyone, the internet just sucks.
Password70: It&#39;s great to address it but I think you should either take the initial video down or edit it.
DIAMOND MEMER: Game theory fanbase<br>Ruining everything since 2011
circleboi king of orbs: Harassing Local Businesses 101
CST667: After a while, I’d change the title to “PSA: ARG rules”<br>Or something like that. So that future ARG players will find this video and won’t need the context to understand what it is for
Joaquin Santa Cruz: What is ARG?
I Love Trains!: I agree with you, don’t stop being awesome bro  Mad respect
Amanda Dixson: I respect this- I also feel like Mat is my Dad, and scolding me for doing something bad.
Tao: Huh ye that was not ok uhm but what about the sideways
Devon McDaniel: So, wait, is he actually calling off the ARG? (Not that I was participating...)
CST667: TL;DR At the end of the day, puzzles are games. And games should be fun for everyone involved.
Masroor Rahman: Wow
Small Change: Must watch.
Flash-bang: Starlight facts Matt👍
GoldCoolnes1: amazing that you reacted this quickly respect +
Trevor James: I don&#39;t even do the ARGs but I didn&#39;t stop watching cuz mat looked so serious
catiy micgreg: respect just respect thank you far addressing so early &lt;3
That1KidOnYoutube: never call somone for game lore
Apawture: ooohhh yeah i can see how that would get bad quick. i mean if one person called me at work asking abt game lore id think thats pretty neat but if a hundred ppl do... i got other things to do than answer the phone all night, especially abt stuff not related to my job (well. i do work security but nothing like fnaf lmao)<br>but also, this vid reminded me to get that coloring book! itll show up tomorrow :)
Sara: Mat always has the best interests at heart. He and his team own their mistakes and really try to do their best. The amount of hated he gets it&#39;s always surprising. Part of me wonders if it&#39;s still fun for him anymore to make content. The audience is like holding a snake. It&#39;s docile until it&#39;s not.
COG_flame41: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Danimarrr: Matpat: makes apology video about ARGs<br><br><br><br><br>Comment section: ~bots appearing more than usual~
helder balladares-dominguez: you can tell he’s disappointed, and yeah it was kinda our fault as a community and misinterpreted it, major respect for Matt
Nikola Vlcek: I don&#39;t know how familiar you are with geocaching, but their guidelines would fit ARG hunts very well.
Justin: I like Matt but he is too skilled of an instigator to not have seen this coming.
Whole_Revolution: You made a mistake your only human, I hope you can continue this game theory Channel I do enjoy your content
Lil carl: mat pat being a legend again thanks mat
Maria Dinora Araujo dos Santos: I love the desperation on his face
Pikopati: Instead of deliver a theory, you ask for one.<br>Of course you &quot;didn&#39;t see it coming&quot; since you didn&#39;t notice you did the opposite.<br>Just think for a second to what demographic your edits and jokes points to so you can figure it out your audience.
Amr Almomani: RESPECT TO MY GUY FOR ADDRESSING THIS AND YES WE MUST AGREE WITH MATPAT AND THE SPEED YOU WERE FAST AND ALSO SHOUT-OUT FOR THE CREW
Mighty_Porg: It&#39;d be nice if this video was chaptered
death life: Coordination really bad
ordinarypotao: I adore watching your theories and sometimes your gameplay is pretty pog but this video just skyrocketed my respect for you because (and im not trying to be negative, or hate on any creator) some creators wont adress an issue they create or cause at all until they get enough media pressure for it. And I mean, you took responsibility which I feel like we don&#39;t see enough during these types of videos.
Yosplosion: 1. respect for mat hope you did not miss your plane dude 2. Is the arg real?
💫Bluechain💫: matpat pls hear this play baby in yellow pls is updated and is cooler and if you completd 1 ending you will see the black cat and then it says bla bla bla and lore arent you happy is loreeeeeee pls i am begging you o and in night 3 there is 2 ending hope you completd it o and i am your fan :D

Andrew Matics: Yeah! Major respect for the DadPat energy in this video.
acearo hippo: I love how his message is &quot;Stop.&quot; Full period, clear and straight forward, no music or silly graphics. No beating around the bush or &quot;softening&quot; the blow.
Zahra Benitto: WHY DID YOU SAY WE NEEDED TO LOOK FOR CLUES IF UR JUST GONNA SAY STOP
Technological Difficulties: Pov: You never did any investigating but stayed to listen to Mat
Kamu: This honestly was a thought in my head when MatPat asked his viewers to do any of this haha
Over Wolf: 0/10 no severe and continuous lapse in judgment
Revemb: well since your done with FNAF when can we get an eldin ring theory
Dorito Fan100: So umm who’s phone was getting blow up because of this? I have no intention of working on the arg I am just curious.
Tom Riddel: Uh pretty Sure real buisnesses dont hide lore about Video games and books. Soooooo who called there thinking they know anything about fnaf?
Aditya Chaubey: thank u matt for being the one shouldering the responsibility being at the top of this community and teaching everyone what is right essentially
LugiaPizzarea: Matpat has made some mistakes in the past, but he handled this better than anyone I&#39;ve ever seen.
kraktMoss: I mean mobile wise don&#39;t there&#39;s anything because I&#39;ve screwed with the files since security breach release editing audios, but from what I see it&#39;s nothing special
Zaki man: I want a theory of  the  DLC rune of security breach
Shea Hardy: Boosting this video
Afonso José: kinda out of contest but are u ever gonna make a deltarune chapter 2 theory if u did well i didnt see it (sorry to bother continue whit ur endless search for an end to fnaf)

Ashley Bowery: Hey matpat
Riley: This is probably the fastest turnaround on a video I&#39;ve ever seen on this channel
poldullo69: when domino actually anser yes to the question, are you associated to fnaf??
ultragaming: MASSIVE respect Matt. Thanks for addressing this!
Zoli: Maaaatt - you always are so kind on saying &quot;WHY DID YOU THINK THAT WAS OKAY?! STOP THAT!&quot; xD MatPat - the big brother/new father of Youtube
James Guzman: Hey is this a &quot;quiting youtube video&quot; im confused
Riptide: It’s not even all you. Scott or however wrote these books def caused this too
GradyGamer: If you do the Fnaf lost tape videos will it be on game theory or film theory
Eminemuel Goldstein: This is how apology videos should be done.
epicfiredragon0: In my head I think I just figured out a clue, one of the locations for an item might be in St. George Utah, the location of the twisted novels.
Level Maker Toilet Paper Edition: Why call the police for an arg?
Ayane Phantom: Yeah, yall who did this should be held accountable, this is telephonic harassment.
Jack Rionda: I like your cut gt
VaderBlazer: Imagine living in a different country and having no idea this was going on<br><br> Anyways respect as to how you handled the issue
OctoRat: MatPat being responsible is great I love it
Alphtheo R.: oh no some game theorists did the equivalent of getting up on a counter at McDonalds and screaming &quot;I&#39;m pickle rick!&quot;
Lautaro Meyer: I have an ARG for you: I hid the complete lore of FNAF under John Cena&#39;s sheets. Go find it
JoyPawZ: This man deserves your respect because he is great.<br><br>AND BE JUST AS RESPECTFUL TO THOSE YOU CALL WHO OWN THESE BUSSINUSSES! respect them like Mattpatt :3
mannyah.gaming: HELLO MY NAME IS MATPAT AND TODAY WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW U NEVER TOUCH GRASS
roree: Rule 6) Pls don&#39;t purposely post misinformation about the ARG :)
Louizeplays sh.t games: Fanaf dlc ruin
R Galloway: The Game Theory team never misses ❤️ Mat, this situation was unexpected and was not your fault at all, and it says a lot about you as a creator to take the blame for something that’s not your fault. You are an extremely talented and honest creator and I’m so happy I get to see your content each week. Thank you sincerely Matthew.
Dragon Lord: Y&#39;know it&#39;s hard to blame him for this ARG&#39;s are dangerous regardless if you talk to a large group or not.
DramaticCheese: The thumbnail of the video had me thinking someone died to an animatronic shark
Sebastianator01: How isn’t this on trending. How does trending work
DepPpiey: Wow, it took 2 days for a &quot;Hey guy&#39;s, please stop.&quot; video.
NathanGaming: We took it too far and we won&#39;t do it again, I&#39;m amazed you even addressed this, we as the community we focused on one thing, we did ARGs, but for FNaF, yea too far.
Kieran: This is the best apology/psa video I&#39;ve come across. You guys, keep it up.
owo: Aaand this is why you are my favorite creator
Shadowlock69: So obviously this video is not a joke but I’d just like to say; this is true dadpat
AvaTheMisfit: MatPat was giving dad energy at the beginning of the video. This won’t happen again I promise
Nonya: Lol you all really disrupting businesses for a theoretical arg?😂
OneMoreMinute05: A similar thing happened a few years ago, with tons of FNAF fans phoning the supposedly &#39;real Freddy Fazbears Pizza&#39; and causing several restaurants to shut down phone lines. Scott had to speak out on it
Worsties .,.: This fanbase is really sad
OMzCore: OMG I REMEMBER THE GRAVITY FALLS ARG THAT WAS THE BEST
Ray Goss: Goddamn it y’all, we made it 3 days before something had to stop the arg hunt. 😂 smh
VaxlandMapping101: MAT MATMAT MAT MAT MAT MAT MAT MAT MAT MAT MAAAAAATT!!! <b>music man remix song</b>
Nixter: Cool
Swampimus Prime: listening to these rules (and having been in several ARG communities myself) These are all the &quot;unspoken&quot; rules of ARGs. <br>If they ever have to be posted at all, they&#39;re almost always posted at the top of subreddits, forums, and discord channels.<br>I&#39;m not surprised that a bunch of excited kids got it in their heads to call IRL places to solve something, because kids are kids- and kids are normally really stupid. <br>Let&#39;s just hope that they learn their lesson in the future, because if not, they can be charged with harassment, and actually banned from those places.
Sumayyah Khan: Bruv, respect.
Tubular Dimitri: Gosh Damit matt<br>Not a hater just mad
no comment: We need more like Matpat o7
SkyKid: ARG Hunt 👀 Understandable for what occured, Apologies for the Minor Oof. Danke for sharing Bro &amp; may things continue to go well for you. Keep being Awesome &amp; Safe Bro 🎮 😎 👊
maskeli oyuncu : can I be team thoerrists I have theory
Luosta: But wait there is already an etiquette it&#39;s called common sense!
°•Måŕřisá Ånimătès•°: Ty for addressing this!
Corry-Core: I thought I was getting a Normal video;-;
Megan Wildner: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=5m08s">5:08</a>
Pablo Raul Pereyra: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=4m02s">4:02</a>. No i dont like args. It was fun the first 3/4 times
Toby Turner: Here here!
Sam C: This is definitely not your fault. Most followers/subscribers/fans understand that there is a line we aren&#39;t to cross. This was supposed to be a fun little way to involve us. Keep doing your thing Matt!
Hot_spice_ice: I&#39;m not mad just disappointed
ThatOneCommenter: Nice  CGI matt
DrePlay: What if the location is not in real life but a location in the novels? And can the fnaf 3 clue be in a book that focuses on fnaf 3?
Rafaroni: Chicken 🐓
Hideandseek Terror: Algorithm
AntiquatedGraves: So, I barely woke up. I&#39;m not someone who&#39;s participated in ARGs, any of them. Still, they&#39;re entertaining to watch from a distance, for me. Anyway, I&#39;d like to note something: With ARG rules, don&#39;t make choices to go into forests in haphazard ways. In fact, that goes for any &quot;&quot;public&quot;&quot; natural location. Don&#39;t visit destinations, only to trample over that ecosystem in the process. Wildlife zones have more than enough to contend with, as is. Take your garbage back away with you, every wrapper. Do NOT go off to collect every single carrion bone you find. Do NOT harass or kill any species in that area, regardless of reasons. Do not fill your surrounding air with insect repellents. Travel light, pack your gear intelligently and with purpose. Bears exist, wear boots to protect your feet, watch out for snakes. Treat ecological zones with some modicum of basic respect.
Reese's Puffs Supporter: But are you gonna be continueing the FNAF theroy
SoundRogue: To the morons in the comment section who did break the OBIVOUS not needed to be said rules; please reveal yourself down below in this reply.
Echo Studios YT: i love how he addressed it as soon as possible and apologized<br>huge respect to you bro<br>edit: i also just learned what an arg was
Christine Ortiz: You&#39;re amazing MatPat! I&#39;m sure this wasn&#39;t easy for you to make, but you evaluated the situation and provided additional ways to fix it. Thank you for everything!
Ashton S.: And this is why we like and respect MatPat
Ariel Harloff: Jesus it sucks that this happened ... Thanks for putting your foot down
Gryffin Reynolds: BASED
Z kombe: I dont personally follow the fnaf rg but it wasnt too long ago matthias had to do a simular video too this because of what is now called Project 863. But their problem was because they didnt want to break the illusion and some fans took it serously like it was a real life mystery.
Antonius Poe: While listening to this, thoughts of Pokemon Go and how so many places had to place restrictions on players popped into my mind.
Mr Tetch: If I learned anything its that when he pulls out the couch for a video, things are serious...
Lewis Baldwin: I think a big difference between FNAF arg and the cypher hunt is that the cypher hunt had a clear beginning and every body knew the first clue. Where as FNAF arg is starting in a non canon book that isn&#39;t accurate to an actual town location and has no clarification from scott on wheather its an actual thing
Adrian Ortiz: Mat your a legend
SoundRogue: I CALLED IT! I knew this was going to happen with ARGs. I&#39;m honestly not surprised; considering a guy almost let himself die to get to a phone booth to contact an actor for Halo; yeah I&#39;m not surprised.
Springy: MatPat sounds like a teacher or a principal.<br>I respect it.<br>Edit: Wow! 226 likes! Ty!
Chuck e Cheese: Nah
Nico Z: Plottwist, the animatronics are forcing mat to do this video so their location stays hidden and they can murder some more children 💀
Cosmetic of The whale: In some circumstances it is acceptable this isn&#39;t one tho
peleg king: respect
Phoebe Archibald: You are the second big YouTuber in the last couple months to address the issue of us the subscribers going too far in trying to investigate engaging stories in ARG. Project 863 is the other one.
Shadow Master gaming: I wasn&#39;t involved in this arg and when I heard what happened it must have been on purpose cause there are literal signs and laws that tells us  what were not allowed do if they didn&#39;t know that there probably children but. I dont think the would allow it unless there bad at their job
thepurpleghost: stop get some help<br><br>btw this is a joke
Dominik Wysocki: didn&#39;t you like, ask the community for help? and leak real life locations? what did you think was gonna happen?
Alesm: I admire you matpat, thanks for clearing things up and apologizing, that&#39;s very brave of you
Alexander Henby: Nick Nocturne on Nightmind would be a fantastic resource in ARG ethics. He is pretty strict on the right way to make/ and participate in an ARG.
Princesskeiser: NOW THIS, this lady&#39;s and gentlemen is how you ADDRESS, APOLOGIZE, AND SOLVE A FREAKIN&#39; ISSUE. He did it without tears, he made it short and simple, and he made sure that it doesn&#39;t happen again in the future. Perfect video ∞/10 amazing job.
Nothere: I&#39;m just commenting to boost this video in the algorithm, don&#39;t mind me
howl: i feel like this was all common sense, sorry u had to watch that happen matpat  ://
Jose Hernandez: I know how to ruin your rep in film theory  find  a dark side on amphibia siencie it popular and it ennded
Nándor Donovár: And that&#39;s NO THEORY!
CidZero: Stop.<br><br>Lol.
OldJay444: More like stop supporting a franchise founded in bigotry Matt.
StealthViper: Hopefully you do another Fortnite theory. I’m also glad you addressed this
KingMe248: Maybe stop milking FNAF
Everything is Satire: I have seen a lot of apology videos and videos addressing stuff and never have anyone of them handled things quite like Matpat and his Dadpat scolding. Joking aside, I love how this was handled. You sir have a like.
Lena: Love that you got this out quickly for us, appreciate the message and your effort.
Barbara Harrington: so look I need to ask you something because you said that you finished security breach but what about the daycare attendant like he is here to he here to like there is secret to do with him you should do a theory on him so please do
Inugami: He shouldn’t have even had to post this. This wasn’t on matpat but on the dumbasses who are taking things too far.
Wizzardog333: I&#39;m happy to see this, I&#39;m really happy to know that Matpat is always doing his best to keep both his team and his fans responsible when doing things for entertainment purposes
D1STANC3 YT: Raaauughhhh
G.A.: comment sacrifice for an important video
me going to the shop for milk: What if the blob is HENRY
Alexander Henby: With all the love Scott has for the big names in horror (Fourth game is called Final Chapter and isnt the final chapter like Friday the 13th, His main character&#39;s name is Freddy) And ARG planned when the movie was actively being worked on pre pandemic (I think it was planned around Fetch) makes so much sense, it&#39;s a Blair Witch nod and in line with what Blumhouse did with Paranormal Activity. <br>But seriously, dont call non consenting buiseness.
The Narrator: THIS is how you do a public address regarding previous content!!
Shinx supports trans rights : Me who was about to buy every piece of fnaf ever and plane tickets: thank god I didn’t have the money for that
jodohe: Welcome Internet, welcome to a new Theory, A COUCH THEORY!
ฺдеструктивный мем агент ฺ: Если бы не это скоро временное видео, то был бы особый иск
Topaz Stars: Thank you for doing this
Kid Swim: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT GUYS WE GOT IN TROUBLE BY OUR FAVORITE YOUTUBER
NeoWolfz: Now THIS is an apology video. Other YouTubers should really take note.
Allison Hanser: DadPat coming out with the “we need to talk” voice.
King Slayer: Found it.<br><a href="https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ">https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ</a>
Bigbrain90: Dad pat really came out on this one.
Gloom Bat: Maybe y’all should make an arg discord!! I feel like it would make finding arg groups a whole lot easier especially if u make a rules channel that has the list published with an I agree button u press before entry, never the less!!! Great video u handled the situation very responsible!💕
Andrew McCoy: I mean the moment the video dropped we knew something like this would happen. Remember that pizzeria?
Bigbrain90: Fully agree with this video though I am not even trying to figure it out.
LoepoemofoVR: Don’t hurt anyone for a arg
qwertilify: A part of me can understand how this got out of hand because in the past we have had args that had phone numbers tied to them but honestly after 1 call we should cross it off a list.
Dragon Fiesta: calling buisnesses? the answers are written with the roads of the towns and easy to see with satilite images
Saif TRSM: Matpat we need a Minecraft theory about new update
IntelligentHooliganProd: This is literally the angriest I have ever seen Mat in a video and it is fascinating to me that his Elevens are most other people’s fives where they’re able to articulate themselves clearly and explain the issue at hand in a concise way whilst he’s obviously backflipping through a burning city in his mind.
winnie the xi ping 🌞: you cant stop me to crweate my child army that i will make by puttin child brains into robots to destroy venezuela YOU CANT STOP ME
gamer dash: I agree don&#39;t go into a private property unless it&#39;s part of the arg. Know for sure before you enter.
Eldroor: Ok, Mattpatt thank you for the messege. :) thx
CommonFurryL: Mat in this video is like a mad elementary school teacher
PlatyPlush: I was not expecting this I&#39;m mean calling the town that MatPat mentioned is annoying this happened once right? Why do you called the town to find lore maybe they know something but no haha so who fault is this. This is not gravity falls it&#39;s fnaf it&#39;s a game not in real life that only happens with gravity falls
عبدالرحمن عيد الشلاحي: ؟؟
Alex Swain: MatPat is an S teir creator. Every problem/challenge/issue he&#39;s ever faced has been handled with respect, understanding, and unselfishness. This is why this channel will last for decades upon decades. Kudos!
Ömer Ege: what did you expect from a %90 9yo game fanbase vallahi lol
Doggo Dutchman: Commenting for the algorithm
Drew Taylor: This is how we keep having nice things. Great video Matthew. Been loving your content since your launch. Keep it up.
Naruto: Yay I watched the vid but I never even go in the files
K BURNS: Anyone else not surprised by this?
Sleeping Stars: idk no but I found that STINGER MOOT can be written as ITS NOT ME ORG😂
Easton ehmke: He looks like hes been researching this for the past 48 hours with showering
Avid Collector: ok who did it.
TheSoldierMonke: Woohoo matpat
Canadian Food: What? I don&#39;t love ARGs. Don&#39;t act like you know me, I just like ARG explanation videos. Actually doing ARGs myself I find rather boring.
The South Project: No Thanks Im not messing with anybody im just trying to figure out how to get back into the fnaf 3 Files on mobile
some random youtuber: PEACE VALLEY may be a connection to HEBER valley, a peaceful valley VERY close to cedar city. Maybe... 15 minutes or so?
MegaMexican21: Did you find the smegma moot?
Gamer Boy: Some other info yall can do is go online and look up the public records for the construction of buildings and demolitions of buildings, if a clue is found LEAVE IT TO THE LOCAL GROUP to get there and record it
Seth Foss: ARGs have had phone numbers. These have not been publicly listed numbers commonly and use an automated answering system usually.
val🎀: mattpatt I really appreciate how you handled this situation!
sven reinold: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=0m40s">0:40</a><br>Everyone: clues<br><br>Mat:kglews
yaboyj: They called fking businesses. I can imagine it now them just calling Papa John&#39;s and a employee asking them what they want then the customer just starts talking about fnaf lore
Silly Lady: I hate that he had to apologize for other peoples lack of common sense
Avocado queen: I FREAKING LOVE MAT SO MUCH he’s so sweet and still is even when this crazy thing happens.☺️
Ezra: lol. its your own fault, and you consider your fan will behave? if it true, this video will never be uploaded in the first place
Jolfgard: ima be real with u, I never played a single FNAF video nor have I finished watching any of your theories on the matter, and I&#39;m not too fond of ARGs, mostly because I&#39;m always years late to the party.
Seemingly Eros: You’d kinda think this is common sense 🗿🤚
Sobolek: would you do mandela catalouge or happy meat farms theory
delacruise666: This is why MattPatt is one of the top dogs in Game channels. He’s looking out for his viewers and innocent NPCs ;p
Thee ArtSee🎗: THANK YOU! I 100% agree with this.
Coreybug 2010: Yes
ThatEmoKid: Fax bro
Moon Cake: Its nice that you let us know to STOP as soon as you realized your mistakes. And that you stopped it before it escalated
Dorothy Shepard: we forgive you
Shado4629: Already!?
ByronTheUsurper: this is the end of the plussy era all over again!
bloosh: Hehe a fnaf arg having to deal with spectrum kiddos
Bruno Semi: Comment for the algorithm 👍
SirBean: Dang this feels like when the nice teacher gets mad 😢 i mean I didn’t do anything but dang i feel guilty
Wixien: matpat, sits on a sofa in the whole video<br><br>everybody, this is gonna be serious
Xxsage gamerxX: I like that he makes things safe for the community to not do stupid things like. Just what he said in the video
Gaming with Austin: This video seems like when your dad finds out you did something wrong and he sits you on the couch and says he disappointed in you
BJD: Thank you for addressing the issue. It takes a lot of courage to address something like this. So thank you.
Squiby Plays: matpat is lecturing US on online harassment, when he literally sacrifice scott cawthon on the altar of twitter. of course he&#39;s a hypocrite.
2xxes official: y&#39;all actually fell for this ☠️☠️☠️
Core: That&#39;s why you are one of the greats and the best in this. Thanks for addressing.
Sc0ner: Bro FNAF&#39;s got you looking a little unhinged
Raining Logic: To highlight the dangers of doxxing, the Ruth Sent Us group published the addresses for Supreme Court Justices that they disagreed with. The stated intent was for like minded individuals to go and make their voices heard to try and influence their decisions, however, we now have at least one instance of someone trying to kill one of them and potentially his family. The suspects reasoning was that he could bring purpose to his life by violently ending the life of someone he disagreed with. I’m sure that this wasn’t something that Ruth Sent Us and their community ever intended, but it is something that resulted from their actions.
Spaghetti Board: No.
Dee-LC: The binding of Isaac the darker nightmare
GutoDoduGuto: Hey do a video about PM 6;06, PM 6;06 is a weird roblox game where with each level the game becomes more and more bizarre, and the developer has a youtube channel with odd. videos. I think you can solve the lore of 0;06.
Someone else: One of your hair was up in the video and it was really bothering me throughout the whole video
lord olivebread: thanks mat
Hannah LaRocco: Matpat that’s what you look like with no amntion
snackeries gacha: Matpat: stop the fnaf arg hunt<br>Me who didn&#39;t intended to participate in the first place: ok sure
Insert name here: I am actually working on a ARG myself
Panna Pon: It&#39;s sad that this even needs to be addressed. Fans take things way too far. It&#39;s awesome that matpat is addressing this issue though.
kyra ☠︎: Matpat deserves the world because he is just such a nice gentle person who is addressing a real life issue most youtube’s wouldn’t bring up, well done Matpat. 👍
Golden Spartan999: Yikes big oof 😬
Lord Yathnon: This is why I love MatPat, he&#39;s a solution man. Its not enough to just admit that a problem happened, finding a solution is important to keep the same problem from recurring.
Caspie1405 HappyWheel-LevelMaker: I’m just writing a comment to help with the algorithm
ThermalDisrespect: ResponsiblePat
InsaneDaniel: Why u look like minecraft steve
snackeries gacha: Matpat fixes his mistakes faster than other big companies
Awy Chi: No.<br>You stop projecting.<br>If it weren&#39;t for FNAF, nobody would know who you are, bro.<br>You desperately need to get onto something fresh!
OldGreenKnees: Mad wholesome +3 respect for dadpat
Jorgz VL11: i just google some stuff and went on whit my day
anolala: it is too late matpat once the theory is out the theory is out
T.K Wilson: I&#39;m not a gamer in the least, but this channel has kept me up to date on a ton of interesting stories that happen to be games. I&#39;ve been consistently impressed by the craftsmanship and care for actual humans MatPat and the crew have shown. This is another example of how genuinely courteous and kind the community is. Bravo MatPat, bravo Game Theorist team.
Not just pictures: This is the earliest I have ever been in an video
Shady Corner: You knew what was going to happen..
Darth Tella: I don&#39;t know if someone&#39;s mentioned this one or not but when trying to solve ARG&#39;s only call phone numbers that are revealed through the ARG itself. I think that most if not all ARG&#39;s that have created phone numbers as part of the puzzle have these numbers in plain sight. So, if no phone number is provided, DO NOT CALL ANYONE.
OldGreenKnees: Dadpat is doing dad stuff.
Lason Te Selle: I think ur missing Mark&#39;s golden rule, Treat others with the same respect u wanted to be treated with.
OldGreenKnees: Sounds like we were close to something and mats trying to slow us down
Blissfulgrey: MatPat this is why I love your content and adore you as a person..<br>Also...<br>I feel like the father in MatPat came out
In Tune Knitter: Maybe stop fnaf content?
Bronson Beagle: Thanks mat pat!
OmarStar89: whats an arg
Ward Kay: Matpat isn’t mad he’s just disappointed
Polish guy with dementia: i&#39;m dissapointed. just, disapointed.

Purple: Love you mat!! thank you for adressing it!!!
Bro Action: I honestly  hate when matpat talks about fnaf its boring asf and everything is great
InsignifikuntAudios: MatPat is so far the only YouTuber I’ve seen to realize he did wrong and genuinely apologize and redirect his audience to something safer, apologizing within a week of an event is a huge conflict for some YouTubers, so props to you MatPat!
JoBro47: Dadpat coming in and calming everything down
im so gay it hurts: To every problematic ticktok star who &quot;apologized&quot; TAKE NOTES. this is how you PROPERLY de fuse, apologize and explain a situation.
Preston Fighter: FNAF 3 did  get updated on Mobil
Loading Hitbocx: The fact that he made this video last minute and didn&#39;t even fix his hair and still adress the problem and provide possible solutions to the problems shows that how smart, caring and loving MatPat is, take care MatPat wherever you were going after this recording, your the reason im always thinking and asking.
summer friends: you dont deserve hate
Rowdy Green: mattpat really sounding like a disappointed dad fr.<br>i feel bad even tho i didnt do anything to help
Willbilly: The fact that you had to make a video on this saddens me.
Palkys: These kids were born and raised on the internet. They cannot behave like decent humans even if they wanted to, they are clueless in terms of social interaction.
Amber Vickers: Hi mat this is cool but you need to check out bound
The Green Gamer: <b>stop</b>
Zen: Oh.. yikes
Miha Leben: Well matpat is very insane now<br>I get some of the theories<br>But now he is just straight up insane<br>Hope he gets well soon
Fun: Game theory idea the science of the fus ro da
Bastian Lundquist Poulsen: Hi
Mayaz Xavier: This is how you do an apology video. Though this wasn&#39;t really his fault.
Xena: As someone in many maanny fandoms, with many content creators, Matpat is one of the best to control and prevent the community to do things stupid things and mad mad respect because he responded so so fast, this could of gone bad really fast.
ErosGaming 17: Longest, most important 10 minutes  ever.
SirRayveltal: I lowkey respect MatPat for how he handles his mistakes.
Fran Miller: Just commenting to boost this in the algorithm...if that still works. ✌🏻
Black rabbit: Nice video
Kai: I swear if Greenville, SC Was mentioned then we’re all screwed.
Lunie Wolfy: Dude if someone call me about a fnaf or any game low I&#39;ll mess with them lol
Crescent Sheath: Videos like this shows a YouTuber who cares about his surroundings.. :)
piece of bogus: Day 3 of spamming for omega mart
Potat: &quot;Hey is this the government of the town?&quot;<br>&quot;Yeah, is there a problem?&quot;<br>&quot;Can I have some FNAF lore rq?&quot;<br>&quot;What&quot;
bonbonjr5: hey matpat im sorry that i called that busniss:( btw: today its my birthday

Soulless: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ</a>
khulan Ishdorj: these comments are long
SinnamonSki: Twitter hates the guy, but whether <b>you</b> personally like MatPat or not we all gotta agree that when he&#39;s gotta take accountability he takes it and apologizes well and thoroughly. Even if it was the fans fault, but as a YouTuber they are <b>YOUR</b> viewers and your responsibility for their actions. Even if you don&#39;t like MatPat he does these types of videos well compared to FineBros, and unlike dream he takes accountability for his fans actions, instead of ENCOURAGING doxxing or turning a blind eye.
William Lopez: Maybe the real ARG clues were the friends we made while harassing businesses along the way?
YoungOxen: This is reminding of the &quot;REAL&quot; FNAF situation and then the pizza place got mad, and Scott had to apologized. I feel bad, thanks Mat Pat, for adressing it this soon.
Caleb Lambright: It’s Pokémon Go 2016 all over again
Cheshire: I wouldnt really thought anyone would do that, thanks for letting us all know.
Brock McKelvey: Thank you for putting out these guidelines, MatPat!<br>ARGs remind me of Geocaching, so I wonder how much of the rules for these two overlap
MinuanoEnjoyer: i wonder if theirs a pizzeria out there that starts every phone call with no we are not apart of Freddy fazbears due to frank callers are stuff
Fx2TheGoldenWarrior: Ah, gotta love the fnaf community&#39;s affinity for annoying phonecalls
Saul Nava: I still think is just bad writting
game sus: can someone explain to me who dave is from fnaf the silver eyes the graphic novel
Joelwashere: Well done Matt Pat 👍❤️
maxibee: I feel like at least part of the reason why this ARG escalated and not the others is probably because fnaf has turned into some kind of kids media (somehow) and most of the ppl calling up the places were probably kids
josefa carrillo alfonso: Bruh só many bots
DinoDude777: Nice
dead popcorn: Thats so funny
Joshua DeCoste: yes
Tripdestroyer5: Please look at the Fnaf security breach trailer at the end with the purple letters and numbers and decode it because I’ve seen all your videos and why haven’t you decoded it
Chris Bokuto: i HATE how twitter just started bashing mat. he was trending immediately. they were even saying he was endangering minors??? how??? god twitter and its minors

Soldo_: But body we just need solve a mistary
Hexamex 12: This is true and I can&#39;t say more about it.
Greater_L: I think comments boost the algorithm?
hiwaga: ARG etiquette! Nice :)
Janay: DadPat just really came out here to say, &quot;I&#39;m not mad, just disappointed&quot;
Otku Corner: Once I saw him trending on twitter I was wondering when he&#39;d address this. Most You-Tubers wait at least a month to address something like this. Or until something horrible happens.
Boingotlo Gopolang: What is coitus hint i now it
Little Mouse: Imagine if someone was just hiking and found a random part of an arg. Lmao
Dementral Cummings: But I didn&#39;t call no one
Yappertherapper: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#Justiceforactman</a> don&#39;t let him be silenced. we all love youtube but sometimes there wrong and we must help a fellow creator
Grimm Book: Well if it isn&#39;t the consequences of my own actions
lozbotw fragranter: HEY MATPAT I THINK THE WILD UPDATE SOLVED YOUR MC PROBLEMS! its all the wardens fault and you can see maybe with the new disc and the disc 11.    (disc thirteen is creepy to)
lozbotw fragranter: HEY MATPAT I THINK THE WILD UPDATE SOLVED YOUR MC PROBLEMS! its all the wardens fault and you can see maybe with the new disc and the disc 11.    (disc thirteen is creepy to)

Jorick Bruins: I guess Matt had a..<br><br>security breach.
Mark Chang: Wow
Tios: Phew… that escalated quickly😅
Shifter: Definitely impressed with the reaction speed to such a problem and fixing it as soon as possible this is why we subscribed to matpat :D <br><br>To this playing the ARG, I hope you all do have fun and enjoy but do keep in mind etiquette we&#39;re all in this together :D

Kaitri: the funniest thing is: my prediction came true. i knew this would happen. in 2022 noone has any sense of privacy left. noone respects anything. everyone always preaches respect and equality, but those ppl are exactly the ones that dont follow their own preaching lol
Anonimo: you dont have the fault mat, the fault is the fan who dont think the obvius things of the rules about it, just follow they fanatic
a k: Anyone mind telling me what ARG is?I just enjoy the theories on the show and wasn&#39;t aware that it also had physical tresure hunt.
Sandra Moony: Mad respect to the Theory Crew. As always, they are brilliant. I am so sorry for Mat (as the face of the channel) and the crew since they did nothing wrong yet helped out the situation in such elegant and informative manner.
A guy named Oliver: Gotta love how we took this, he made it perfectly crystal clear that he does not like this and that it should be shut down. Without a doubt the only apology video I actually believed and liked
Random stuff: Imagine if somebody made a clan in clash of clans for this arg
Wj11jam: Lol
DarVIDA: Well done ! Very important video !
Dark Silva: It shows how much class Matpat has to come out and do this but it&#39;s sad that he has to come out and say this.
Bullet the corgi: Wow I&#39;m early for a game theory video
Multi-Colored BrickWall: I only made a theory about it on a comment both agreeing and disagreeing it literally the only theory I have in my Samsung notes<br>:.)
Aetheriox: mat is smart, charismatic, but most of all, responsible with his influence
bradley jennings: man you are incredible. said what needed to be said but wasn&#39;t said in a way that would just seem like you being mad. then you educated everyone in a great way as well.
Jacquie Equinox: Tbh matpat gave me these strict but calm dad vibes
Mafyboy: About that you can try zarcive to get to the files.
Flashdog: just forget about fnaf. so overdone
『Lois Griffianati』: oh

donewithyournonesense: WHOOPS TIS OKKKK
8drb8: It’s so refreshing to see adults act like adults
Rebecca: In relation to rule number 2, specifically Matpat&#39;s quick point about hacking, remember that (at least in the US) hacking people&#39;s private devices is a crime. You might not have any malicious intent, but the device owners don&#39;t know that - they just see someone getting into their personal files without their permission.
Mock love pop: Dang
neilla allien: hen is sports theory? since the world cup is close why not?
xCombixGirlx: We are why we can&#39;t have nice things!
creamed coffee: this is what it feels to have a dad pat
Derek Brown: Psssst I’m confused… what’s an ARG?
Trinity Fate: Morning mat
Callum Japp: What did you expect to happen
Gaz: To add to the last rule, check for an &quot;official&quot; source - a well run ARG should provide a community (whether private forum or public social media area) that includes rules, clues and updates for any running game.
SportsGaming2011: Dream could learn from this vid
Materysak cz: well, I am just making an ARG and I wanted to put there my number. And now I don&#39;t know what to do, please help.
Itsyourboyhere 8: No need to apologize ppl just need to grow a brain 💀
Katia Mizu: its amazing you have too even explain this. but thanks and hope you and your family are safe and healthy ☄☉

LeonMarvel: FNAF Ganados 😂 <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23matalo">#matalo</a>!
ed adik sayo: Mat pat theorize what is the greatest tresure ONE PIECE!
AudRei: I can tell youre pretty angry about this, reasonably so. Dont feel like you have to take responsibility for their actions they chose to do, or feel like youre any way responsible.
joost18JK: thanks for making this video Pat! :)
Advspringbonnie: I wonder how many times the internet has tried to cancel MatPat and it just doesn&#39;t happen.
Onion Engine: Just a mega bruh moment, that&#39;s like when a teacher gets asks the same question right after answering it.<br><br>Painful...
The Play Log: Matt, you&#39;re a dad now, and I see evidence of shaved stache. Grow the dad stache :D
adam_247: The very BEST YouTube apology video I’ve EVER seen.
CGTheMemerThree: So what’s next for the FNAF theories on this channel?
Quemahoning Paranormal Group: This is so responsible of you, MatPat.  As an ARG ourselves, and one that references real public places, this is a huge worry for us too.  ARG rules are vague and undefined, and impossible to outright convey while staying in character as an ARG.  It is awesome of you to take responsibility and try to put a stop to it, when you could have easily turned a blind eye to the mess.  That earns a lot of respect.
Chad Burch: What
DragonBall universal: Me being like why would anyone do this.
Declan Sobocinsli: What is an ARG
Alex .G: WAZ DAT OUTRO FROM ITS-OK-TO-BE-SMART?!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!?????????!!?!?!!?!!!
Soviet Norway: You underestimate how incredible stupid some of the viewers are Mat they will keep doing this and you know it.
Charlie Buggs: Poor MatPat, It was probably hard dealing with this. You seem very stressed while making this. I didn’t do it but I understand that you needed to say something.
R.B LIGHT: Can you play tiny room check it out the puzzle will make you lose your mind and help you find the FNAF things thank you.
Ninja Gary 300: Didn’t you want help
Wiliam m: Æ
Joltdell: Dude&#39;s like a cool teacher after the class gets in trouble <br><br>&quot;alright class, let&#39;s talk&quot;
K. Fuji': if i were a FNAF ARG i&#39;d simply cease to exist
Occidendum: Start the FNAF ARG hunt
CT-1118 | The Meme Lord Victorious: I do want to add something, some ARGs have websites with passwords you have to uncover. So maybe ONLY stick to passwords gotten from official media and on their official mystery websites.
Olga Gacha Phoenix: Okay nm
Perhaps.: I kept calling it “R guh” instead of “ A R G “ 🤦‍♀️😂
LovesickF4wn: This feels like I’m being given a whole lesson by my parents, and I love it. Mat is always so responsible.
Ethan: This is a weird Minecraft video
Danno W: Kids are so stupid, ruin anything
Deff: Okay Twitter, you can quit your cancelling bs now 👍
K1NG: Matpat is probably one of the only youutubers to address what his fans are doing. You don&#39;t see that nowadays with other big youtubers.
Dark Vioo: Mad respect for Mat addressing this! But hun you look really tired. Hope everything is okay.
electricat13: Ok this one might be long and I discovered it myself <br>Now it&#39;s that maybe there are two twins even and christ and maybe evan was the one who got chomped by fredbear and christ was the one who tried to survive at night after that everyone in his family has gotten in an animatronic and he&#39;s the only one left so he was Gregory from fnaf sb<br>And that&#39;s it
Raelien: matpat you need to see and talkabout andys apple farm trailer 2
Destroyer2004: #6 Don’t spend absurd amounts of money on to find answers
Aadreeja Pandey: i watched this video 5 times and now Mat is late for his flight
Gabriel DeVoogel: See I can’t solve ARG’s cuz of being In highschool and not being able to because of money but this was very very insightful as to how I should conduct myself in this situation, thank you matpat for the words of wisdom ☺️
Voloot: ok
Jonah Isham: MatPat on another apology tour. Always doing the right thing for the community and keeping us informed. Cheers!
Antete: I once accidentally broke a thing in an escape room<br>just wanted to share lmao
Oh No: Wow, I am totally out of the loop, I just saw the original video and went &quot;huh that&#39;s pretty cool info&quot;. Sad to see it spiralled into this but this video addressed it all perfectly. Loved how many times MatPat said &#39;stop&#39; just to drive the point home before setting down solid and clear rules.
Ocean_RBLX: Also you missed a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY Matpat Theory<br>Sparky The Dog In Fnaf 1<br>Title - Fnaf 1 : Who Is Sparky And Is He Real?
Paul Schwartze: imagine being called in the middle of the night:<br>&quot;where is the funny pizza bear?!&quot;
The most allmightiest grey prince Gundham: Die ich rief, die Geister, werd&#39; ich nun nicht los.
Anne Castro: I can see ur anger
All4Games: The difference between this and any other ARG that you&#39;ve mentioned is that Fnaf and you have a lot of young children in your audience who &quot;want&quot; to help but young children do not have the same understanding of social limitations. Inscryption is not played by 11 year olds like Fnaf is. Gravity falls had immidiate steps that were not really solvable by young children. You gave them a step that young children could do, a real life location they can either go to or call without first solving a clue step.
alekk: great video :grin
Mya Brown: Couldn’t have been put into better words, even though you didn’t directly tell anybody to call the places, you still apologized. AND THEN you gave them a solution on how to do better. Very responsible, and that is why I have so much respect for you and why you are one of my favorite YouTubers and just in general
Dillpick dill: Matpat there&#39;s a new fnaf fan made game called lego Five nights at Freddy&#39;s
race schmidt: Gaaaaay
Brant Justilian: FNAF ARG never ever existed. Matpat is a big fat lie. Not a culture shock. Purple guy does not want to be found.
Mr. Twix508: Man, I can’t believe that some of these Theorist here actually called and harass the businesses for lore. Thank god Mat Address this before it got even worse!!
noveaskar: this is seriously why gametheory is one of the best channels. still remains unproblematic to this day and handled this so well
5qu15h3r: None of this is on matpat…
charlotte flade: I like that he&#39;s talking about this and in such a sincere way
DJPJ: What is &quot;ARG&quot;?
Dorito Fan100: Lmao boy did that get out of hand fast
Derp Rainbow: I love lean 💜
Batt1eax3: This is absolutely a perfect way to handle a situation in a community. Explain your mistakes, apologize, and try to do things do ensure it does not happen again. Not a lot of public figures understand this and try to avoid making it better or even approach the issue at all. This was great matpat 👍
Raymond Gonzalez: Understand and if you read the sentence from last to the first it sounds like it could lead to the FNAF character
VerboseLocket38: I never even thought this would happen. Glad Mat addressed this issue.
Moj Mob2019: Put  merch in most  Europein countrys  say serbia plz👉🏿
Mari: When Matt started the arg thing I had a bad feeling about it because how big the fanbase is
Nice: hey this is a short YouTube comment in this video not about saying &quot;mad respect to matpat&quot; blah blah blah anyways
Darkomatic: Dear mat pat could pleas add a book theory channel as it could bring a new fan base
Zero To Wealth Redistribution: Children.. relax
Moj Mob2019: I love your channel 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤

Tiko fan Walnut: I seen that video and didn’t expect any of this
ImmortalEmperorMaster: Rules are created because someone has done it before
I gotta cat: No, the first ARG I was exposed to was a giant mega virus
ChloChlo: You never remember how stupid kids on the internet are til stuff like this happens.
GunRunner: mind you lots of ARG involve in finding out hidden passwords n such and &quot;hacking&quot; into fake websites... so rules are a bit muddy on this part~
Magtea: You didn’t even run ads on this. You’re a certified legend
YBOUZL: Respecc+
TheRumpletiltskin: Glad to see you nip this in the bud before it gets crazy.
Anico: This kinda reminds me of the Matthias channel back a couple years ago.  He basically had to say the same thing on his channel when his videos became much like an ARG. <br>I&#39;m glad that Mat laid the groundwork on how to safely play these game!💚
RedThunderDan: This is dumb
STAKE -E: Based
DestroidHak: MatPat reached post-nut clarity and understood what he&#39;s done
John Da Munk: HaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahaha
Gotcha The Spider: Best apology video I&#39;ve seen yet.
Shaggy: Respect for you mat🔥❤️
Kathia Ortega-Ribas: Y&#39;all, stop it.  🤣<br>Calm down.
DT gaming: i haven&#39;t even watched the new video rip
Jahvier Temple: The companies getting 100+ phone calls:&quot;No this is Patrick!&quot;
JustBlanc: When matpat sits on the chair... You know it&#39;s serious.<br><br><br>But seriously... Arg is indeed fun but yeah! Just make sure not to violate things or harass anyone cause that would give bad reputation to the community also just wanna add... There is protocols in many places such as wearing masks and all cuz you know... Covid! So... Be sure to follow those things and don&#39;t be toxic cause that would destroy the fun...
DestroidHak: Yesterday: MatPat asks the community for help with a possible ARG<br>Today: GO BACK GO BACK GO BACK
Lucy plower: Stop with 5 night at  Freddie already
JakeIsNotOk: You know he’s serious when he sits on the game theory couch
Captain Price: Ima break in to your house(this is a joke)
SEBASTIAN RUBIANO MATTA: My respects for this man
Josh Elliott: Thank you for addressing this so quickly.
nepsterboop: this is a really important thing for everyone to understand and you did this so responsibly and fast mat congrats!
Mr. Invizible: As someone involved with Daniel Mullins ARGs, 100% agree.  Especially rule #3. It should be obvious that something is an ARG clue when one spots it.  Puzzles are meant to be solved.
HMC MAX MUBB: The odds of this is kind of weird even if everyone did this then why not call a friend or family in that area. Oh Matt the thing that you are looking for in the FNAF is place in the most common area . Don&#39;t dig two deep, but deep enough that you can build a new building over the old place.
celina !: hey guys what’s an ARG
K&L Productions: Best YouTube apologie ever. You have our support and understanding matpat.
Reaper: Massive respect, glad you&#39;re adressing this thing as fast as you could.
Carolina Westrin: What is a &#39;&#39;ARG&#39;&#39;?<br>(Please dont call me stupid for not knowing; I&#39;m not English or American so I don&#39;t know every single English word. However, if that was in my language-well-ARG in my language is actually a word-no-not what it means-since i dont even know what it means-I meant, ARG is a word in my language, if you understand...? Sorry if you didnt understand. But, well, ARG would mean &#39;&#39;angry&#39;&#39; in my language.  It&#39;s pronounced a bit like this: Arj.)
Karyuu: Every big community will have some rotten eggs
scott12330: He is just releasing this video so he don&#39;t get Sue
Smhcoolguy: Wow big respect to you Matpat for making this video!
Min(oob)cra(p)ft: I don&#39;t think he said it in the video but to anyone that did actually call, don&#39;t feel bad with yourself. Just be smarter going forward
AdamLebron: I love this guy
DarthRaichu: Honestly I really want to applaud matpat for repeatedly doing this sort of thing. Whenever he gets into some sort of drama, or makes a mistake, he will immediately hold himself responsible and learn from his mistakes. I’m so glad he doesn’t just sweep this sort of thing under the rug.
Anime plague: He solved this problem completely, I can tell he is very careful with the word he uses just in case there are anybody analyzing his video for insincerity.
Camden Henderson: Game Theory moment
ace1122: Can you do a theory on Pokémon legends arceus
John Apy: I agree with all of this, but my main reason for this comment, is matpats leather jacket, I love it
endy king of chaos: No
Joseph: Im sorry for calling them
Jsjsjsjs Jsjsjsjsj: My friend looked through the files and it lasted so long(1hour)<br>And l saw this video and l told him he stoped<br>p.s nice beard mat
Rik mcDik: Can this guy talk like a normal human, or is this who he actually is?
Zenlore: Thank you for the future-proofing efforts.
MLG GAMER: I&#39;m not a master ARG person but based on what I&#39;ve heard about the gravity falls one if one person has found something important they would you know post about it so that&#39;s a rule I would say should be added.<br>If a clue in the real world exists wait till the one person finds it. And trust they will post it on the forum that you&#39;re on. Don&#39;t overcrowd the area whether it be calls or actually going there
Jae: Me watching to this taking notes on HOW to make a arg
SuperSkipツ: What in the blazing baboons is an ARG
Dabski: Agrees
TheMajesticMrMoo: Not gonna lie I thought this was gonna be a bad apology video based off of the thumbnail and title. But pleasant to say I was wrong big ups to Matt patt
SamXlk: LESS GOOOO
James Davison: Matpat, why not make your own forum???
C00lasskermit: 23.6- ok I&#39;ll stop
Ben: Well that backfired monumentally 🤣😂
GlutzahnLP: For me the saddest Part here Is, that it was crystal clear in your Video that we dont even know if there is this fnaf arg. The fnaf community is still rather young and I think that made these mistakes Happen too (there are also adults that forget etiquette ofc) so I hope this Video will be seen and followed :)
Aditotoro Fan: Ok Chef
MLG GAMER: Okay I was completely unaware that this was happening. Wow well I&#39;m glad that you mentioned it because I wouldn&#39;t have even known. And I&#39;m glad at least some kind of guidelines are being set up here so I&#39;m glad that you took accountability and you put forward guidelines maybe left it open for more guidelines.
Tim Evergreen: I knew this would happen he&#39;s scared of a couple of news articles just ignore the media 🙄 plus it&#39;s probably just kids doing it
Infinitely Chaos: Hi
Agent Knockout: Perhaps rule #6 here could be: Don&#39;t endanger your health, or others&#39; health, trying to solve an ARG. It is absolutely okay to not do something that will get you injured or killed. If something you believe you need is somewhere that poses too much of a risk to you, just....don&#39;t go there. Don&#39;t do the thing. Easy as that.
Emi Dito: oh this escalated real quick huh-?<br> :p
Bonkers: 1st rule of ARG hunts: Never talk about ARG hunts. Except on the Reddit page for it.
StrongerThanEver: And guys remember, this video was NOT a theory... A gaaaaaame theory!
Kyle L: 👍
Are You Kitten Me?: What... why? Of course there not anywhere connected with the fazbear fright books I don’t think Scott will go THAT far
Rumym8: I’ve known about games doing real life stuff for years but never knew it was arg<br>I wouldn’t take part because I’m not smart enough for the clues and they usually take place in America ( I’m English) <br>But it was most likely young kids not knowing better
time to play games: is that what happen in america? so that&#39;s why is said please stop
Kyoko123: I do think the most recent FNAF game brought back more kids to the franchise, and they’re going to be more enthusiastic about participation. I follow a content creator currently doing a fnaf story about the new animatronics, and they’ve gotten WAY more messages demanding updates than any of their other works. Not mean, just a lot more and from kids.
PsychoHerobrine: I don&#39;t know whats going on with FNAF anymore but Imma share this anyway.
Ready, Set, Game Over!: The Five ARG Commandments: <br>1. Thou shall not publish thy public info. <br>2. Thou shall stick to public info. <br>3. Thou shall be safe, thou shall not trespass. <br>4. Thou shall not call private businesses or individuals.<br>5. Thou shall find one place to discuss thy ARG.
Scraby: well said mate! have a save trip!!
Bleaching Brain: Reasons why I love MatPat as YouTube: 1. He never get canceled 2. He’s explain what he did wrong  you have to respect him  because he has a great community it’s much more but I don’t wanna write a lot of stuff
Durasoph: Would it be inaccurate to say ARGs are like Geo Caching, but with a connecting story thread? And thus similar in etiquette?
portalgun1145: Matpat: I&#39;m not angry but just disappointed
Carmelo Teresi: Wait MatPat what is your favorite FNAF book
Volzschlittsey Xavier Koopa: 💚
zoockon: Massive arg tip here , NO ARGS WILL KNOWINGLY PUT ANYONE IN HARMS WAY . You will never have to do something that would be knowingly hazardous ie: clues will not be on train tracks , edge of cliffs , etc.
SCPGUARD: Hmm
AshG 1: Even so it’s the best way to get information the businesses are hiding something!
salim affara: That is a great soulution that dosent harm anymone great idee
no: It is such a strange thing to me how things that should be known and are common sense has to be addressed like not stepping onto private property and how you don&#39;t call a place that isn&#39;t for that place like a pastry shop and asking anything but a pastry like a cake
StrongerThanEver: Imagine if in the end, it turned out there is no arg.
I have permission to spam racial slurs: Mat looks like he just got chased by Twitter police trying to cancel him yet again
Johan Stenfelt: Huh, honestly, this didn’t surprise me at all that much.
Infinite: Could make a video on pastra ARG?
Pirate Style Jutsu: Responsible MatPat is so comforting
Rick HCA: Off the topic, never realised Matpat looks like he&#39;s the brother of the lead singer of The Killers mixed with Barry Allen from The Flash show
ClappedBY-Evil: What is ARG
Papyrus : This feels like when the principle walks in the assembly and says &quot;now its not everyones fault but the ones who do&quot;
yassine MXM: it&#39;s all Scott mistake
DaanDanx: Now a video about the Jacksfilms ARG, eh?
captian bacon: Me just sitting  here waiting  for all the smart ppl out there to figure it out.
Sam Cunningham: I never did the arg and it hurt my feelings when you said “human beings” not all of us are human
MrTwixplays: Stop the fnaf hunt, because I want to do it
Danny Thai: You know matpat is stressed out when his hair changes between cuts
voidenon et etarnam: No<br>You have made this mess<br>Now suffer consequences
EG_Manifest510: too bad this has only a third or so views, meaning not very many of the first video&#39;s viewers have seen this yet, so lets hope the few (hundred) that are doing this are part of the one million viewers as of watching
I suck at usernames: no, I have acquired steel wood studio&#39;s location, I am coming to tear down their walls (they are hidding springtrap in it)<br><br>you will not stop me
Pontus tve1 The Golden Dragon: Do frecking Apex lagends video
Roald Bergmann: I know this dont have much to do with the video buuut, in FNaF SB theres &quot;random&quot; cardbored pieces around. But I don&#39;t think there any random, you see in the fnaf vr help wanted halloween update, in one of the mini games we see these pieses in the pirate foxy mini game (I fogot what it&#39;s called) and theres a secret room in SB aswell, and that room is yet again also in one of the fnaf vr halloween update mini games the one where you make a mangle, AND in one of the princess quest&#39;s you go throug a maze whith halloween foxy/Jack-O foxy running after you just like in the halloween update.<br>I dont know what it means but I hope you can figur it out<br>(Sorry for my bad spelling😅)
L L: Thank you for responding responsibly.  This is very important information

ohad habrnash: ...<br>fortgitht has an arg??????
TomDaBomb: I love that you are able to take responsibility for things like this👍
Azadi Ahmad: Can you make a minecraft  dungeons  lore
This is not a YouTube channel: Bruh
larry wright: This reminds me of what happened with Pokémon go
TimidBeastie: my only response i&#39;ve come to a lot is &quot;weren&#39;t these stories previously scrapped?&quot; so like, there probably wouldn&#39;t even be an ARG? right?
ErickLS: welp that shows that common sense is the less common sense there is
Kuja Salmi: 1 mil views in 8 hrs? HOW???
Dramatic Razor: Greatest YouTube apology ever
Brian Galea: I’m just imagining this scenario:<br><b>phone rings</b><br>Person 1: hello?<br>Person 2: how does Felix the shark relate to the missing children incident and fnaf lore?<br>Person 1: sir this is a McDonald’s
Snoop Wolfcat: Yeah it’s super wrong doing that, just imagine share someone number without promises.
NicFiend: Bruh game theory fans go hard 🤣
Azadi Ahmad: Can you make a minecraft  dungeons loro
Izuku midorya: I was not gonna do this arg anyways I’m gonna wait for you and hope you still have videos this weak.Also now before it’s to late make stranger things videos.
aidan sweeney: Guys dads not mad he’s just disappointed
Nimzi : I feel like this should be common sense. Like,use your brain a little.
Will Lawlor: This and his Scott Cawthorn videos are the best imo. It&#39;s just really refreshing nowadays to see a mature, well-rounded opinion and one that is explained perfectly.
RhoGaming: I respect you for addressing this so soon after the “incident” happened.
Beluga Jr: Matpat theres salad fingers 12
diamond gaming: Ok
Suun Nebelmond: Lol
George Vincent Corneby: Can we add:<br>As much as possible, never go ARG hunting alone. Be in a group that you trust. First, it&#39;s more fun being in a group, and second, it&#39;s much safer than going alone.
Hensku3: Another proof why MatPat is one of the most respectable youtubers out there. Adressing the issue and giving solutions to help right after the problem started. Amazing 👏
Neku Arisato: MatPat: look for clues!<br>Viewers: and we took that personally
x X P u n s 4 e v e r X x: matpat, do you age at all?
Grxxn: okay dad it wont happen again im sorry 😔😔
Mistress.Lilith: Dadmat.
BestMCCyt: Faster than light
n$$o doesn't care: This went bad I bet Scott is like what have I done 😑
Lynn Pyae: Can you make a sunrise and moondorp theroy
Whisper: Up!
Levian Sama: There go dad pat.
Rynnie ♡: this is why i love mattpat.
Reuben Morris: what are ARG&#39;s?
Plat: At this point I want a documentary about fnaf made by matpat.
XlR8: If you ever need a game theory suggestion , here&#39;s  one &quot; How much would a minecraft world cost in real life?&quot;
Rosy Fox: Out of context but it seems one common spam is saying &quot;it&#39;s finaly here&quot; is there a chance to somehow restrict the comments of those who say that because irs so annoying looking at comments and only seeing those bits sigh
Helixne0: Throwback to the ilovebees ARG participant who was on a payphone in the middle of a hurricane
Burn Trap: Completely respect you for this
MRKING: Who expected this comment beloow
Troy Warren: To be fair this wasn&#39;t the new ARG people&#39;s fault. This was the writers and editor&#39;s fault. You do not use real businesses. Especially in something like this. FNAF should have known better given the fanbase, and it wasn&#39;t responsible for them to do this.
caedyn_t8796: uh-oh matt&#39;s dissapointed
That One Girl: MatPat forgot his audience was children
Jessica King: Dadpat isn’t mad, he’s just disappointed
lyian: amazing
AwesomeII5: I agree ryder sir
0Userrandomthings0: I didn’t do anything bc my mom will not let me in the end i was lazy and i was drawing and making money :3
Jack Maldonado: I don&#39;t understand how this came to be in the first place, &quot;Hey i saw your company/name in a book and I wanted to ask. WHAT DO YOU KNOW&quot;
SPACESHIPLEWIS: And If you are a child sleuth, please have responsible adult supervision.
PineappleGirlo 1: Ty for addressing this mat, and this is day 3 of asking matpat to do a game theory on dead by daylight
maryam fatima: Mat pat i am sorry
Ronit Nayee: <a href="https://youtu.be/aQdrWBdbwqE">https://youtu.be/aQdrWBdbwqE</a>
Thomas Gonzales: THIS IS PART OF THE ARG GUYSSSS
Rem Tilak: The cash cow is getting milked again. So lame, Mat. So. Lame.
Tim Blok: DadPat in action
Melissa Hourihan: There’s a number of reasons that could have contributed to things going the way they did here—the demographic interested in FNAF tends to be on the younger side. Also you have a lot of fans who might not be into ARGs and not know the rules to keep everyone safe, especially if they’re young.
Bob 2: Can you make a video on the situation between the Act man and QTV?<br><br>Youtube might finally listen.
Torreip: I think most rules can be resumed as don’t do anything illegal ?
ArthurXD: Apology not accepted.<br>And, yes, you did see this coming.<br>That&#39;s all I&#39;m gonna say.<br>By the way, that is too much rules.
magicamadeye: incidentally harrasing businesses because of fnaf seems to be a pattern with this series...first the real life pizza, now this
Zo: Remove the video then.
Jonin Luroko: lmao what happened?
That1guy: He feels like my dad is when he’s lecturing me (joke) (I like that he’s addressing this problem)
NULL NULL: Matpat has black leather jacket, not his bright red one, almost complete opposite of his usual self... Colours are important in fnaf lore so this means Matpat must be in this and everything he says should be flipped upside down. We&#39;ve almost cracked this, call every single number now!
Goosey Gurl: Uh oh I guys mad matpat maddddddddddddddd🤭
M.K.G #thankyouscott: There are too many little kids that do things withouth thinking
Jun Ratilla: Stop game theory addicts
NoCultist: lol.
Cynical Fella: What IS a Arg?
FreshLettuceGod: My video theory is mat made this video to avoid any legal liability and also because he is a great guy tbh <br><br><br><br><br>aNy WaY ThaTS jUsT a tHeOry… A FILM THEORY
✨jelly AumeShakya1✨: Yess ty ❤️
dooks4life: well done on taking prompt action and taking responsibility
Joseph Palacio: Bro really didn’t take responsibility at all
sahara ariel,rebcer: I LOVE FNAF<br>❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cooper Milham: Do a fortnite Siri
FakeSnows: You know its serious when Matt sits on the gray couch.
charuse: Instructions unclear, making ARG with required community doxxing to solve
BestBoricua: The fact that this needed to be said makes me lose faith in humanity.
Fishlord Username: Shout out to Matpat for making this video, recognising one&#39;s influence and using it hell yeah
Space0fox: Me, who casualy sitting in East Europe watching Americas that make such things: interesting :DD
chewpid innit: yes but can you talk abt disc 5 in minecraft 1.19
Mr. E: This might actually the only YouTube apology video where the YouTuber actually says sorr
Emanuelgamer 1313: I was not even gotta try. I am just a consumer haha.
Junior boy: I like the black jacket Matt patt tho
Excite Bike Dwight: Dammit guys, behave yourselves. Lol
Vineet George: Is it just me or this dude looks like a German soldier
Sage D: Kudos to the GT team for addressing this quickly and responsibly!<br><br>Hopefully we can expect the same from YouTube about whatever nonsense is going on with the bots in the comments...
M.K.G #thankyouscott: theres a... FNAF ARG???
Art Moon: Dad Matpat isn&#39;t mad, just disappointed
Neer Kum: idek what this video is about but that thumbnail is killing me
what why?!: red ears
ThatEditingBaka: also probably didn&#39;t help that a lot of media that displays phone numbers often buy those numbers for publicity stunts and whatnot (just look at your recent video on Squid Game that addressed the same issue)
Apophis324: I think that a video like this is what separates the MatPats from the Logan Pauls..
fizzys retribution: i had a bad feeling this would happen lol it’s happened so much in the past
Adam Karlb: Respect
Lu Bu DWC: Don&#39;t apologize for other people&#39;s bad behavior. You Matt, are not responsible for others. The moment you start doing so, everyone you will use it against you. You stand for yourself, just as I stand for myself. You can&#39;t and shouldn&#39;t take control of others. Once you do, your life will become way more difficult to manage, as everyone will look to you when someone else does something wrong.
Enabi Seira: If the Pokemon Go fever has shown us something, it&#39;s that common sense is not that common...
Llamalama_ded: Bro not even i saw this coming and i legit LOVEEEEE args. But i would never think of calling a number or following a link UNLESSS i know its part of it. Kinda like how Batmans &quot;arg&quot; was very explict. If it was a clue, it would reveal itself.
Mika_Cub: Who woudda thunk that triggering excitement in the minds of a bunch of 10-year-olds would lead to one giant mess? Can&#39;t say I&#39;m surprised, really. Definitely wasn&#39;t your intention, I&#39;m aware, but I think it was a bit of a brainfart to think that the FNaF community specifically wouldn&#39;t do this sort of thing. A lot of them are unaware kids, that much should be obvious by now.
Rachelle Lalapalooza: I can’t fathom how or why anyone would think calling a real place was acceptable
DynamicDragoness: I dont think there is an ARG.
FENNEKO: Omg Matt looks so tired and a mess here but BIG RESPECT FOR HIM for stepping up and addressing this 🙏🏻 hope you rested well after this Matt
Ya Minlee: very impressed on how early you caught this issue. never thought this would happen, make sure that you don&#39;t blame yourself too much though. it was never you intention for this to happen c:
Nyuszimuszi_: matpat should start new channel called couch theorists
Shlonzs: It seems the video‘s reach might be far enough 👍🏼
Jersey: Thanks for addressing this Mat! Huge respect for you
Socal Drives: Theory: Scott knew this would happen and wanted it to so he could keep the treasure for himself
Berserk: What happened to his beard?
Kalaam Nozalys: Yep I expected this
Gabriel Mateo Jayme: lol matpat is really like a father to us now. he just lectured us for being too excited like a child
Xander James: Guess this is what happens when you sic an entire fan base on small county towns
bupiti: Obviously don&#39;t do it with dead ones
Veloran: Mat Mandela catalogue vol.333 is out you should definitely check it out
pepco senpai: Now i feal like doing it
Jerry CM: Crazy stuff
SodaGumX: its june why is he wearing a coat?
Gowt: BUT HEEEEEY<br><br>THAT IS JUST A -<br><br><br>Fact.
carlos spicy Weiner: Didn&#39;t Quantum TV Doxs  act Man&#39;s family crazy YouTube did banned him or give him a strike
Butrint Zeqiri: OI MATT, noice, thx for setting these rules!
EL3CTR0: And to think those Twitter idiots were tryna cancel him. Respect for taking responsibility, Matpat,  I knew you would address the issue
Crazygamergal: Also if an arg DOES require interacting with a specific person irl to get a clue, it should be OBVIOUS they are a clue giver. They should be clearly playing a character. This might be given away visually through either over the top clothing or purposely over exaggerated acting of body language. They will not be trying to blend in because they WANT you to solve the mystery. They WANT to be seen.
『 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐗 』: 15461
Spiralis: Wonderful how you act quickly before it escalates to a worse problem. You are an example to be followed and amazing inspiration, Mat.
『 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐗 』: FNaF will be real in 15 days, 4 hours, 6 minutes and 1 second.
Suicidality: There’s loads of kids who watch you that go too far if you ask all of your audience to go on a hunt.
Martymcfly: who actually went and call in world businesses for a ARG?!?
CannabisCove: Also <b>hand raised</b> old guy question - ARG?
Jamie Baxter: Really glad this video got made
sans underman: Me: it&#39;s now proven game theory stupid
Jeryme: FNAF ruined this channel, i still follow but i am so depressed everytime i see a new video on FNAF, i hope everyone enjoys but im just not into it.
Godzilla Afton Crossover Kaiju Fighters FNaF 3 Scp: Goodby
Lily: I don&#39;t know why but MatPat felt like a parent or teacher in this video, just by the way he spoke.
bbbmd2007: Mat dad apologizes for the kid theorists mistake
froggy: this man went out of his way and actually tried to fix the problem he kind of increased, GIVE THIS MAN 16M ALREADY HOW HARD IS IT
Pieguy203 The Great: Twitter users can&#39;t use common sense ffs.
Thomas Gaffey: Hey matpat great job on establishing rules and regulations for ARG hunting,  I always thought that those were sorta dangerous when I first heard about the gravity falls ARG. But hey, may I ask you a unbelievably big favor? Could you comment about the act man v YouTube situation? I have not only been a loyal theorist for many years but I&#39;ve also been a fan of the act man for a while and the situation he is going through with YouTube is terrible,  I know you have talked about YouTubes flaws before and I sincerely hope that you can use your voice as an influential creator to help save a fellow YouTuber,please 🙏
Old Sport: Hey MatPat<br>I was wondering if you can try making a theory for this little....no not little...BIG ARG called (Shipwrecked 64)  I saw Jayski play this game and watched some videos of it and I&#39;m intrigued....so MatPat... Please do it ;-;
Ice Phoenix: Kinda scary how fast this went from “let’s go on a cute little ARG “ to “tell me why there is a shark animatronic if you want to see your kids again”
Call me Nicki: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=0m57s">0:57</a> Maybe the files you are looking for are in the demo. Sadly it isn&#39;t available in the play store anymore. Luckily you can find the files online.
Miranda Keeffe: Wow, can&#39;t believe that it had to come to this. Dad came out, thank you for making rules for those who needed it to continue to make things safe. Please follow the manners and guidelines.
anime is a mistake: I mean YOU should stop
MetalMan1245: Sometimes you can just tell when someone is legitimate.
James Skinner: how ignorant and childish are these &quot;fnaf&quot;? wooow
synthKLEE: LMao XD
Godly_Gamez: Thank you for this solution on this ARG because many more company’s could have stopped  discontinued their phones and again thank you
Nkateko animation: Nice hair cut
Enlil The Prince: Fnaf drama
JJ: This is wholesome.
Aether Unown: Thank you Matpat for addressing this as quickly as you did! I&#39;m glad nobody got hurt. I&#39;d also just like to add one more rule(if nobody suggested this before me):<br>6) Nobody should harass Scott Cawthon or Steel Wool Studios with questions about the ARG.
Caleb Zerr: DadPat given everyone a stern talking to
Mythical Twinkie: 50% Mats fault, 50% Scott&#39;s fault.
Sol: Dadpat is here<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Get the reference?
Scott Mann: You are still referring to it as an ARG the official FNAF Twitter said there is no ARG stop talking about it as a game.
Particle Zer0: Damn, they sure did go crazy
TheLoneBit: Mad respect to MatPat!
BLACK LIGHT: Mat:help me!<br>Mat 3days later:I shouldn&#39;t have said that, I should not have said that
Izzy M.: Bro. Matpat LITERALLY said it was a. Just a theory. and b. Not something that may have actually came to pass.<br>HOW anyone can misunderstand that is beyond me.
liana racovita: Matt is a true chad for giving us those life lessons lessons.
ShEpz: hopefully i didnt tried to find it
Sly Gamer: You can see this has MatPat stressed out! kudos to the Game theory Team for addressing this issue as soon as they possibly could and even taking responsibility for this. I really appreciate this video
qdllc: Matt, if they’re holding Stephanie hostage to make you shoot this video, blink 3 times.
alioZboi 1: &quot;Never in the history of my teachings have I had a class this bad&quot; type energy
Kolomlynsky: nah I am gonna continue, I hope you get banned
Human7982: GET THIS OUT THERE
sarpush: he is like a parent explaining to his kid what he did wrong lol
Husalmon: Is this another crying sad music one
Proto Hog: Can we just pay respect to matpat and his team for not putting ads on a 10 minutes video that got after 6 hours over 1 million views
memnocktdevil: LOLOLOLOL AHAHAHAHAHHAAH <br><br>way to go team, with great power comes MANY ANNOYING PEOPL! 🤣
Spots: day two of asking for book theory
Niko Tsapaliaris: Matpat, if I ever need to go to court, could you be my lawyer.
Thekingjoey1010: Ok Matdad<br>What do you want me to do next take  out the trash?<br><br><br>This is a joke btw
God Seed generator: We do a little trolling.
A Tree: wow, this was a surprise. didn&#39;t saw this coming, but im also not surprised.
PinkLoogi: Anyone else just imagining him editing this in the airport
chris thompson: The problem with this is that the ARG may or may not exist... so its impossible to know what is related, a clue or just a coincidence. Without a starting point its going to impossible to find anything useful. Heven help anyobe that shares a name with someone in the book that lives in the area because it would be easy to assume they are involved when the reality is that there is probably nothing.
Stormy: I agree
Pokemon info DK: Matpat so incredibly sweet
Squishyseraph: jesus I only watched this a bit ago and THAT&#39;S how long it took? Fastest arg hunt (maybe?) to go wrong. Horrably wrong lol. I never did anything about it so :I
Scooby Dooby Snacks: Wow MatPat, it’s cool to watch you go from nerdy conspiracy theorist to humble leader through out these years.
NuggetDog42: not gonna lie i just click on a game theory video and blank out whilst pretending i know whats going on
Jayyusi: Mat: &quot;I&#39;m not mad, just dissapointed&quot;
Spots: mat pat in this vid is like a kind dad telling his child(Ren) to not of done something and telling them off for it
J O'N: How did I know what this video was going to be about?
JJKage: If there is a phone number your allowed to call related to the fnaf universe it needs to end with connection terminated
Samuele Zichella: The fact that Matpat stepped forward, addressed the issue, apologized for it and took upon himself to make sure it doesn&#39;t happen again, shows a great deal of both maturity and responsibility. I&#39;m sure this video alone will help many new arg players in the future. So, thank you, Matpat.
iDammer12: There should be a channel named couch theory where all the couch videos are made
Beanie_Babe_xo: DadPat isn’t mad, he’s just disappointed
Totally Radical: Bedhead Matt is right!
Henk-Jan Bakker: Rule #0. An ARG is a game. Not real. Make the distinction and act accordingly.
Makuta S-V: AN AUTIST NEVER YIELDS, MATPAT!
Jacob Hurrell: Lord matpat has spoken <br>S T O P
Cappella: I’m glad you addressed this Mat
w i z e .: This is why this man is the chaddest and based person in this world<br><br>Edit : JUST REALIZED THEY DIDN&#39;T ADD AND ADS OR ANYTHING FOR THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO. LOVE YOU TEAM THEORY!! 👍👍
Levi: Honey, new &quot;MatPat apology video where he apologizes for something he really shouldn&#39;t apologize for because really it&#39;s not his fault but rather the fault of a community whose participants lack certain right and wrong critical thinking skills&quot; dropped.
Charlie Scene: MattPat please help us with the fixing of youtubes actions. Actman is being targeted by levels of absurd that haven&#39;t been seen by youtube in a long while. They&#39;re trying silence him and others. This is the fate of your channel and others. We need to all speak up for the future of youtube.
Richard Frederick: I love how Mat sics his dogs on the world and then has to backtrack. Get what you deserve
MartyPlayz: 🛑
Melanie Smith: You know what, your right
Makuta S-V: INCREASE THE POWER OF WEAPONIZED AUTISM DON&#39;T LISTEN TO HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
rezroxy: I have extreme amounts of respect for this man
Old Account: I shall now create an arg that requires you to break every rule
Bill Trent: Like think other poeple need remember that this was a scraped ARG also to be fair any remember the Halo ARG were you had follow some phone lines. Someone try make this call in middle of a hurricane. The actor had to brake character to tell them to get to safety.
ralola1: I think a big one for me is don&#39;t take anything from mentioned locations unless it is explicitly mentioned you can do so in the ARG. Like don&#39;t steal clues, don&#39;t vandalize set pieces or other people&#39;s property.  Take pictures and share them but don&#39;t straight up take or destroy them. This allows other players to enjoy the hunt while not hurting the location or the artistic integrity of the set pieces.
VIXXlight_9098 #VIXXComeBack: another rule that is probably important to follow, make sure that the clue is from the official source. alex hirsch once had a clue in a college in california for the cipher hunt (gravity falls arg) but thanks to the clue saying that only students studying there are allowed to look for it, there wasn&#39;t any unnecessary problems there. Also yeah alex hirsch did lay out a set of rules for the arg before it all began.
JazyyWazyy: thank you !!
MinoTheMeiko: I think it would be better if rule 3 were changed to be an umbrella for any lawbreaking, trespassing, public disturbance, or anything that associates with that.
Makuta S-V: ........... CONTINUE THE ARG HUNT! MORE POWER!!! HE IS TRYING TO SUPRESS OUR WEAPONIZED AUTISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zvipy: Aren&#39;t we gonna talk about the vsauce outro at the end?
ShiaraMoon: Bravo MatPat for taking charge in trying to fix this and get ahead of future problems.
stella bari: It’s really nice that he apologized so fast. And he is sincere. I love it. This was an accident, and he is trying his best to make up for it.
Greazy Banana993: Something about how his hair looks in this makes me think hes losing his mind, its styled just enough to look presentable, but just BARELY messy enough to know theres a bit of fnaf crazy
Pinappleman29: Matpat feels like an adult who is trying to tell a child to not do something politely but it also just trying to keep cool and honestly i respect that
Claudio Gorena: I... Didint expect this
Super Duper Felix Parker: The man ask y’all to do something very innocent and fun, slightly whimsical even and this is how y’all repay him 🤦‍♂️
Pensive: This wasn&#39;t even a throey video, yet still entertaining.
diegamer23 25: The whole start of the video is just &quot;I&#39;m not mad, just dissapointed.&quot;
The Jon Brown Show: I&#39;d be curious on your thoughts of the bots on here, Matt 😅
ion uchiha: Mat pat try making one where if one finds the Answer post a vid talking about it if your ok with it

LEARN TO DIVIDE REALITY FROM FANTASY,   IF YOU CAN&#39;T, WE CANNOT HELP YOU, AS THE CLEAR DIVIDE IS SO OBVIOUS YOU ARE LITERALLY JUMPING INTO AN ABYSS OF YOUR OWN MAKING, AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE ANYONE CAN CALL YOU BACK UNLESS YOU JUST STOP MAKING YOURSELF THE HERO TO A STORY THAT IS NOT YOURS.<br><br>In other words, no, you are not helping.  Do something else, because this is just a game, not your ultimatum in life.
Tera Valia: I would add to that list, if you&#39;re ever in doubt about whether something is ok or not, reach out to the community, get an answer from someone with experience before going off and doing something risky.
WorldMania: Another Rule:Wait for the Creator to give clues or confirm when to start the Arg.
Ellen Robertson: Obligatory engagement comment.
HiloCrispy: Wat k
InsectOstrich4: Aw, sorry to hear that Matt. Never thought approximately 100 viewers would take the arg too seriously, but at least you have the solace of knowing that you called out this problem before it got worse.
Sketchtastrophe: Did they really think these random businesses were going to give them fnaf lore..??
Bee_Fizz: <b>*me just nodding along knowing that i wont be able to help out with the arg but still love watching these videos*</b>
Harjit Saini: What dose ARG mean
shyguy4no1: Thank you for this video. I will say though if FNAF could do a Freddy Fazbear&#39;s popup that lets you go to the back of the house as a haunted house thing, that would be dope. Safe, effective, scary. Everyone wins.
C B: Reminder for everyone: be respectful always. As much fun as ARGs are, you can&#39;t expect everyone to be in on the joke. Just be respectful and think about how you impact others. Be safe, thank you matpat
The Jon Brown Show: I&#39;m surprised age wise in your total demographic, that this is only happening now lol tho tho you already probably did, on the orginal video in bold on top line of description, you should be like &quot;Disclaimer! Don&#39;t call businesses&quot; or something then link this video<br><br>(I didn&#39;t know the etiquette of how to do a arg. And I figured calling places would factor into it, but for one thing, I&#39;m too lazy for arg. Related stuff so I just watch the game theory videos on them, plus I&#39;m too phone shy lol)
Lil Nugget: Wait is this an apology and there wasn&#39;t a sigh im the begining? The world is ending
Aldo Alvarado: I can feel the frustration in his voice and reactions. It’s understandable tho cause its not right
Deluxe Edition: matpat put this so eloquently and politely, it would&#39;ve been so easy to go &quot;y&#39;all got NO common sense, huh&quot; LOL
Cy-Draco Studios: Lol my cousin had to answer a phone call, and said &quot;If you&#39;re not gonna order, SHUT THE F*CK UP AND LEAVE US ALONE.&quot;
CyDragon2: Huge props to The Theorists here on youtube trying to help clean up such a mess but I don&#39;t really bother solving args I just watch the theories on them
Glitchiono: No.
DualDex: YEah, kinda figured this would go wrong.
Puro: Mad respect that you’re addressing this as soon as possible because this could’ve escalated quickly and you even offered a great solution so the fanbase would stop before it got out of hand. Nobody could’ve said it better than you did.
Zarmack: To be honest this is best case, young fans didnt know how to be in an ARG Hunt and kinda dropped the ball but now should have watched this vid and now know what is and is t right. Could have ended ALOT sadder
M1ghty Mage: Congrats for addressing it quickly, very noble of you
Angel Hammer: sooo... wut is arg
Mako Neko: I love MatPat and the GTCrew for bringing this up so quickly. Safety first is an excellent message and hopefully this gets trending.
Sergeant MeowMeow: Best Youtube apology I’ve ever witnessed
The Jon Brown Show: Glad you guys are adjusting appropriately to this
Kurai Sora: You gonna do a new episode on the new Mandela video?
olyue: Thank you matpat!
Riley Mickelson: This video needs to explode to the  media
Resurrected Gaming: Oh you scared me I thought it was actually something bad I mean it&#39;s an inconvenience but it&#39;s not super bad
Micky S: Id say for the editing team, whenever the rules graphic get brought up, keep it there as long as feasible. The general rule is don&#39;t leave a graphic up too long, otherwise it will become annoying, but in this case I think it should be annoying. It should be something that is impossible to miss or ignore, nobody should be finishing the video and not knowing about the rules.
Watchdog: 1.1M views in 5 hours thsts insane it took ssundee 20 hours too reach the same amount of views
Longtomax: Jesus christ i turned around for 3 days wtf is going on?!
SoulFoxie: Not to try and change the subject of the video and such but didn&#39;t Matpat literally host his own ARG at one point? Shouldn&#39;t he of maybe thought about this in hindsight since he&#39;s obviously grown a lot since and has even gained another channel?
Macro105: How about we stop with FNAF because its been beaten to death 10 timew by know and try something else
tomis wolf: Big classic. Whoops  moment
Uggles: <b>Game Theory Fans calling local pizza places in areas asking about FNAF lore cus the location was referenced in the colouring book</b>
Hooper Hembrick: Respect+

JBAlmy03: Huge Respects to the Food/Film/Game Theorist, MatPat ✊
The Hacker: Wow. More and more I dislike this community. Glad I stopped playing halfway through the third game.<br>Props to you, Matt, for being a decent human being and trying to stop this bs.
Very Hot: <a href="https://youtu.be/xjMnEZQIomA">https://youtu.be/xjMnEZQIomA</a><br> Finally It’s here…..
Talon Waters: I knew this video was coming. Unfortunate.
The Oreo Reaper: I imagine this is how the calls went,<br>Pizza place: “hello what can I get you?”<br>Me: “five nights at Freddy?”<br>“Huh?”<br>“💀💀⚰️⚰️”
Stephen Harvey: You know how serious it is when he is wearing a black jacket instead of his classic red jacket
Cringe Goblin: Stop with fnaf you became the villain I loved you but now you’ve fallen so far from greatness
RialVestro: I would add that it&#39;s possible that hypothetically FNAF could build an actual real world &quot;abandoned Freddie restaurant&quot; some where in the real world, would be awesome if it was a former Chucky Cheese location since the restaurant seems to be so heavily inspired by Chucky Cheese anyway. HOWEVER if that were to happen they would make it OBVIOUS, there would be FNAF signs all over the place, advertising that they were opening an actual restaurant in the real world, maybe they&#39;d even have actors in costumes pretending to be murderous animatronics. But just because I think it would be a cool idea to turn a Chucky Cheese into a real life Freddy Fazbear doesn&#39;t mean you should go to to any abandoned pizza restaurants of any kind. Unless it&#39;s really obviously been reopened to the public it&#39;s not part of an ARG it&#39;s just an abandoned building which could have structural damage depending on how old the building is and may not be safe to even be in. Just don&#39;t. Like the whole escape room thing, I wouldn&#39;t really use the word obvious here cause if the clues were really obvious it wouldn&#39;t be a puzzle but realize that they would design things to intentionally be part of the puzzle. You shouldn&#39;t ever need to break anything in order to look for clues and going inside a real abandoned building rather than a fake one usually involves breaking and entering which is illegal so don&#39;t do it.
TheGoons: This reminds me of when we all hunted down the Freddy fazbears pizzeria in real life but Scott had to come out and say it’s fake and don’t do this
compa the king: You can tell that matpat is a dad cause he talks to us like we are his kids
TheHypocorrectStrawman: And THIS is another reason why I never watch the FNAF videos
Ryder Maurigi: Very respectable my fellow theorist!👍
Insertepicname: Oh
Alphamation: ok matpat!
Mate: Shout out dadpat
tank Dempsey: Hey its drake bell
verasity: Even tho i didnt join in the arg hunt because i didnt watch the video i am so sorry about what the fanbase has done. I dont think it was intentional but still calling private businesses for an arg hunt is going too far. Sincere apologies 😔🙏
plushywars play: Not like this has happened before
Loki Laufeyson: If you think calling random places for a game, you&#39;re either too young or stupid to participate in ARGs. This has never been a large scale problem in the 15+ years I&#39;ve followed ARGs, that&#39;s why there was never a need to make rules.
Lucas Amenta-Shin: Damn MatPat can solve problems faster with guidelines faster than gun reform 🤣
RJ: Huge w for mat for taking responsibility even when it’s not his fault, and not just apologizing but going out of his way to properly teach everyone how to do this
FN64Productions: How long till ProtoMario makes a hate video on this
Dr. Kiwi: me at 2:30 am: I should probably go to bed now<br><b>sees game theory video with matpat on couch</b><br>me: I don&#39;t need sleep, I need answers.
Lars Pedersen: Main issue I think is that they were places easily found on google maps. Anyone can find the number and call it. As opposed to going out to a forest where you actually have to SHOW UP.
Joel Rogers: Smart man you are matpat. I don&#39;t have Twitter or Reddit so I would have never gotten this info with out this video
Mr anomalous Fagan: Hello there, I&#39;m looking for a song and/or YouTube video which I haven&#39;t seen in years and I was wondering if anyone seen either of them

The40YrOldG33K: Nice leather jacket

Atherasia: how tf is this happening again? did we learn nothing from the first fnaf&#39;s pizzeria phone number?
B I: This is why we can’t have nice things!
KapotaJC: Great work, I am very happy seeing Mat taking his responsibility as an influencer seriously. the game theory&#39;s community is one of the best online community out there and I hope it stays that way.
Sir Eskomaz: this has happened before of course it happened again damn it
MrGamemasterman: I think the reason this was different to the other ARG is this one we didn&#39;t know if it was a ARG or not but with the other ones there were a lot more public evidence at the beginning suggesting it was a ARG
Ktkatz: I know I’m completely missing the point of the video, but the way he just says “S.T.O.P” absolutely kills me.

Netherlord Gaming: Oh that got out of hand I didnt think at all that would happen I didnt call but yeah must be annoying

James: Meanwhile I don’t even know wtf an ARG is. Wut
Kenady: Its just etiquette, some game etiquette and thanks for watching
Nuka-Cola _Thief: I am touched at how great he was at speaking on the problem and confusion that he feels he might have caused. I think it shows Matthew Patrick&#39;s high amount of character snd consideration toward others. It also gave me personally an inkling that he might have just showed off what he&#39;s like as a father. Not overbearing but seriously ready to show you as the listener what you need to know in order to be progressive or productive by saying what is needed and at bare minimum being respectful to whom he is speaking to. I see you Matpat, amazing.
Desean Hill: no
Havendidit: I love how firm but also kind you are in this video. It had a great rebuke, explanation and proposed solution. Great response and great video.
Gerardo Lara: Great response from Mat to an unfortunate consequence of a well intentioned video, quick and to the point.
Danish Shah: This just made me laugh on how fast this went south

Screenshot v1nce: I feel like a kid in a class where the teacher is giving a speech on how, &quot;we won&#39;t be able to do these fun things if you act that way,&quot; because of some troublemaking kids.

ShpostMile: I respect the quick response to this, but i also find it endlessly amusing that GT MatMat has to have the internet safety and etiquette talk with his fan base. Like a disappointed dad. I mean the community is very young for this channel so I&#39;m sure for someone this will really be the first learning experience on what is and is not appropriate to do, and it&#39;s great, but still finny to all hell

V V: This is why the theorist gang is the best--Mat comes out here right away, addresses the issue, takes responsibility (more than I&#39;d say is his share, honestly), and offers solutions. You&#39;re a real one, Mat, and it&#39;s why your channels are my favorite on YouTube

Water1234: +rep <br><br>Great guy and is sincere.
kobra6660: I can&#39;t wait for augmented reality gaming to take off even though it still a ways away
SeaKnight: I think the main thing with args is also to remember normal internet etiquette and safety. Yes, don&#39;t share others&#39; personal data, but also be aware of sharing your own.<br><br>Saying that you&#39;re looking at a town online automatically shows that you live close to there. And remember that unless this is in a totally private space then anyone on the internet can see it. To be safe, I&#39;d recommend using a throw away account. It&#39;s not the best solution but it&#39;s better than nothing.

Cpt. Kaos: Matt Pat is very correct on all these rules a problem with the gravity falls manhunt was you required to go to like a church and like find like a thing and the church wouldn&#39;t let them look for the item so after Alex Hirsch found out he ended up posting it online cuz like they had a whole problem there cuz they thought they were just trying to vandalize their stuff
OwOitsurmom: sorry dad
Lucy Stopper: I Live and work at The megaplex in cedar city we had to turn down many even hundreds of calls about the ARG and know i am thankful that you addressed that. I will send this to my boss and hopefully open our phones again.

jenna talor: I feel like if there&#39;s some kind of geocaching rules and guidelines those would all apply really well to ARGs too

meltingtears.: The fact that this wasn&#39;t even Matpats fault be he still takes responsibility for his community, you can tell that he meant it when he said that he was so sorry.
J: Hi
Finch Hawthorne: If anyone is blaming you for this, they’re being dumb.
moltengems64: I honestly find it so embarrassing and shameful that MatPat has to even make this video most if not all of these rules should be so very obvious
Declan Cross: HUGE respect to Matt and the crew for addressing this. These rules feel like they should be obvious, but of course there will always be those outlier groups. Let’s all solve these types of things the responsible way!
Darcelle: While you&#39;re totally right matpat, this is kinda how args work and alot of times businesses getting harrassed can just be a unfortunate side effect of the concept I agree we should follow a line of etiquette regarding this stuff but yeah red herrings happan matpat if anything it&#39;s not your viewers that were wrong for calling it was YOU who was wrong for not doing this video before the other video

luckyshot: If an arg does involve urban exploration DON&#39;T go alone and DON&#39;T i repeat  DO NOT bring anything that could be construed as a weapon (also for anyone who goes to the range or does anything with firearms regularly check your pockets for shell casings) that&#39;s my contribution

ATruePanda: When he said the line on &quot;It seems like everybody has an ARG now&quot; I was like &quot;Nah it&#39;s not that serious&quot; but then I remembered that SoundSmith, a relatively small content creator most well known for their TF2 videos, was going to make an ARG for his currently 3 episode long series.<br>Edit: No disrespect to SoundSmith, I love his content, but he&#39;s a little boy.
richard apps: should we still access five nights at Freddys three verbal edition behind the scenes.
Illegal Gazoz: ALL mobile fnafs updated
suopscarysanti: i didnt do that and i still got banned
MadHouseTommie: i really hope this channel doesn&#39;t get canceled because of a few bad or just not meaning any harm apples. Mat and his team have really worked hard and deserve their acclaim.
Josiah Ramos: Leave if you break the rules. Just get out. LEAVE! Go!! You can never be trusted, just leave you can&#39;t do anything with args.  You can NEVER be trusted by me.
Kit Kup: I haven&#39;t watched many theorist videos recently, but I can tell when Mat is serious so I had to watch.
Skitzo99: I honestly think it&#39;s stupid it came this far to where MatPat actually had to bring it up to us, I&#39;m always a loyal theorist, but this is not only too far, but it&#39;s just dumb
A regular: 👌
Espsiongold2: Thank you
Snap Dragon: The same thing happened in 1981 when Tommy Tutone released the song Jenny .. cause the phone number obv
Leaveme Alone: Also like, I admire his composure. Having to address this even somewhat calmly took some work. A lot of this is common sense too, it&#39;s just basic internet safety.
<br>5. Find one central place online for ARG discussion.
Gianna Rosario: mat shouldn’t have to apologize for fans being inappropriate. it’s not cool.
William Smith: Um there should be only 1 clear set of &quot;guidelines&quot; Its called the law.
poop: i hope this reaches everyone ✨
McHooves EDS, POTS, HNPP: I rarely see you actually disheveled you need a hug bro
emoceans: am i the only one just finding out about this lol
Ace_Studios34: Praise to matpat for seeing this problem and addressing it very quickly
Aramis Betances: the day Mat Pat stops making FNAF theories is the day everyone from 2000 has gray hair and wrinkles
breeka beettis: TL:DR have common sense
Dedded by Glamour: Woah! What&#39;s this? The consequences of your own actions???
AWSUMSAS: I love how this is less of an apology video and more of a “Slap-Your-Child-On-The-Wrist-Because-They-Were-Misbehaving-In-Public Video”
Makoto Han: Speaking of ARGs, any chance of a video on the Flipnote Hatena one someday?
Masaim: As it&#39;s gone to these lengths Scott should come out at some point and say if there was a planned Arg if it was scrapped.
Luther 001: Mission accomplished boys. Hunting Season is closed.
Eli Mann: What was so bad for this to be covered!?
Jericho Miguel R. Marasigan: is this arg a theory or an actual confirmed arg
Sundrops world: You sound like my dad
ZeNEggs101: this is why mat is one of my favorite youtubers. I saw this issue brought up on twitter, and whenever anything like this happens and there’s backlash, mat always makes a sincere video
Rotina Sem Roteiro: I love ARGs since Lost - yep, the series - did the first one that I can remember back in 2011 or something like that. I didn&#39;t participate, because internet was not accessible as it is today and I was too young for digging around the internet - but I was always watching the news and, oh my, it was GREAT! It not only explained a lot about the series but created a new world. I miss something like that so much. It&#39;s really well documented, so you can find the whole process. I recommend it.
Theo Storr: Gee you look old
Nataninko: Me who didn&#39;t participate in the lore hunting: that happened??!!
Jåqøûm, the Wįżàrd Kîng: That was fast…
Cate Douglas: Can you do a baby in yellow on game theory 🫤
Robo-San: Yes, Don’t Do Crime!<br>Don’t!
CucumberBus 123: This is why I love matpats attitude towards life
David Pichette: That didn&#39;t take long
Rim Hellworth: Adding a comment to boost engagement 👍
Cate Douglas: Hey can you do a baby in yellow game theory pls
Mister NOME: I saw a Game theory video before it got 1 million views!
You don't know me: loved the inscryption series you should do a theory on kaycees mod
David Grubbs: Imagine working a 9-5 at a local walmart and getting constant phone calls asking you about the fnaf lore
PAWEŁ J: now i want MatPat to make a ARG. JUST IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WOULD BE
ℝ𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕠_𝕆𝕟𝕋𝕙𝕖𝕀𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕟𝕖𝕥: So srry I&#39;m a few hours late just you keep posting when it&#39;s like 2am for me lol
Johnny P: Nahh you lack brain cells if you honestly called these places inquiring about FNAF 😭 honestly just THINK.
red154 _ccount: Matpat just said last video that it&#39;s just a theory tho..... wait for a signal<br>(?) (?) (?) just don&#39;t know what I&#39;m sayin&#39;
how do I change my profile picture: Whats the arg hunt?
Cygnus S: That was fast
Meme Guy: MatPat is the definition of great to excellent thanks MatPat
tree tard: thanks mat
Yu: I love that Matt is the one to provide a golden standard for an Apology Video, having done something relatively harmless.<br><br>Makes every other apology video look like a half assed token
L + Bozo: I don&#39;t understand args, what is happening? I searched on google to find out but i don&#39;t clearly know what it says.
GisBanana: its stupid how even this video is stretched to 10 minutes
JollyTronVR: But this whole operation was your idea!
ZgamerXXIV /\: the best way to solve a problem keep it up your amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
wyattlive83: You did an oopsie
Ghosty: Anything for some juicy juicy lore
I'm terrified of chickens: It isn&#39;t his fault.
Traveller: Matpat&#39;s upgraded to the black jacket
Jay: I saw this coming…
Ori Beka: @The game theorists i need to tell you something,i was looking through everything about fnaf 3 and then i saw it was last updated on aprill 11th 2022
Rich Hutter: matpat is dad disappointed.
TakeBlame: But MatPat, hacking is fun
Nevict: Never call anyone for game lore... except for the Lucasarts Support Line in the 90s.
Honter Minjares: The biggest rule he forgot is Never go alone specially if it&#39;s at night and if it&#39;s a place you don&#39;t live in.
Scott The Wolf Gamer: I think the easiest rule of thumb to keep in mind when following ARGs would be this: if it is dangerous, illegal or difficult to do for the Prep Team, it is 100% dangerous, illegal and difficult for the players to do. Basically, anyone with so much as a driver’s license will be able to solve these. They’re basically escape rooms minus the escaping. Everyone can do them without having to do anything out of the ordinary or extreme.
AlexSasquatch: MatPat didn’t use Twitter to get this misunderstanding and solutions known. Based.
Steve Cheney: Kinda reminds me of the whole Petscop/funeral home thing.
Dan Francis: I watched a Tik Tok video days ago that this might happen and yup...
ShinyMewGaming: Yeah, watching this you can tell he has a child.
Crazyness1994: Might just be me thinking this, but to me this seems like it could ALL have been avoided by using this thing called &quot;Common sense&quot;.<br><br>It&#39;s common sense to NEVER share someone else&#39;s information.<br>it&#39;s common sense to not call companies about things that are completely unrelated.<br>It&#39;s common sense to be aware of your surrounding and to avoid unsafe locations (Pokemon go players crossing roads without looking is a perfect example of what NOT To do)<br><br>And SERIOUSLY hacking? That&#39;s not just WAY outside common sense, it&#39;s also HIGHLY illegal and that goes for trespassing too.<br>It should be rather simple... Stay safe, stay WITHIN the law and use common sense.
Five Cent: Thinking in terms of hindsight, presenting these rules and boundaries before bringing up the FNAF ARG idea so that this would&#39;ve been more than likely prevented. But that&#39;s the beauty of hindsight..
grimace: I&#39;m glad you made this video :)
Brianna Velasquez: new lore in minecaft
Nonante Hivernote: Here&#39;s some little lessons in ARG,<br>This is going down in history,<br>If you wanna be a theorist number one,<br>You&#39;ll have to avoid doxxing just to keep the fun !
DjDeadpig: Hello little Caesar’s, do you know the location of William Afton?
swing ?: great
LittleTimmyTheFifth: Here at 846,536 views.
Fenriz Sharp: Why tf are there 1.3k dislikes???
Arianna Garza: Matt, ya look like a dad now. Congrats🥳
Colorful Basement: Stay safe and sound
Ninja p 799: Nice to think about other 👍🏼
ComeOnMang: perhaps the real arg was the friends we made along the way
Fancy Potato Mine: hmm yes nice
Why did the balloon eat the Fox?: Wait. Wait wait didn’t those happen 6-7 years ago? With Scott and someone finding a number somewhere?
SimplySketchyShelby: Yea but whoever decided you can only get book 12 if you buy the set needs to be harassed because I already bought all the others 🙄
Tango Durango: Subscribe to pewdiepie.
GhostAgent: Now it&#39;s just a chase between that video and this one.
Otazník: When you were talking about the social media for communities, and you used the old Discord logo I was so happy that someone still uses the old logo!
N1x_Playz: I am so glad that you are calling this out and are correcting everyone. This could have gone even farther downhill extremely quickly if this was not addressed. I honestly think that there should be an official list of ARG etiquette, so I&#39;m really glad that you are making one because honestly I have always been confused on exactly what to do with ARGs lol
シDàrKov: I clicked on this video because of that jacket<br>Cool jacket btw
Zul Khairi: Idk if its just me but I think the script is like the bottom left of the screen cause mat keep looking down there.
Povilaz: Oh great, what&#39;s the FNAF community into now...
Aidan Wells: Hey Matt thought I&#39;d tell you on a slim chance you read it on minecraft the new allay mobs that looms just like the vex are always found in woodland mansion prison cells and in pillager outpost cells
L1V1NGFR34k: Have common sense. If it&#39;s not publicly available there&#39;s probably no clue there. Disclosing Private information is not ok. Neither is harassment
Demon_in_the_sea: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=3m00s">3:00</a> Now Mat just feels like a father to us who needs to teach us things XD
Rezeee: I must be living under a rock, i never even realized that there was a possibility of an arg in fnaf.
Razor: Imagine calling Pizza Hut and they don’t answer, so you go to the restaurant and ask why and they say “Sorry, FNAF calls got the phone clogged”
Brotherhood knight: They’re more so rules, <br>rather than actual guidelines
Eric Shun: Wow , its wierd how much influence matpat has on the internet
Arc Mate: You can tell he&#39;s serious because he&#39;s wearing the Black leather jacket.
were998: E
Essie: Damn MatPat is lecturing all of us
Jervis-Jehan Laurent: Y&#39;all listen to Matpat cause he&#39;s explaining and telling true facts
J F: I&#39;d cross post on the other sites, just to make sure we all see it. Just in case. Thank you for addressing this.
YourLocalWhiteGh0st: Yes yes Ty for coming out and saying this so quickly my best friend works at one of the places that got spammed calls and it was kinda hell when it happened ;-;
Dako: Hi
GameHawk: I&#39;m very happy to see Matpat cover this as soon as possible as I watched another channel almost completely collapse because of arg/real world show. Great job Matpat!
Isaac Pinzón: After watching the videos and seeing that MatPat announced a real place and asked for help, I knew something like this would happen
Jacob Ippolito: Speaking of ARGs, did we ever solve the fortnite chapter 1 season 5 arg? Was the durr burger in the desert the end of that ARG?
TheRiddled: I wished ARG was more safe and enjoyable with less risk for the adventure
Jervis-Jehan Laurent: I was about to comment about that on the previous video but a video poped up, lol
Unt0uchable03 []: No cap I don’t even know what an arg hunt is 😂
nokma jamir: we&#39;ve been watching matpat slowly go insane in his fnaf lore videos also kudos to matpat for stopping this before it escalates too far
ZamLikes2Draw: THE JACKET IS DIFFERENT 😱
Kylee Olsen: The Gravity Falls ARG is the craziest &amp; honestly the most classic ARG in my opinion
Griddle: Woof
PurpleZombie: How come you haven&#39;t deleted/privated/unlisted that video?<br>Also the reason this &quot;arg&quot; didn&#39;t work is because it&#39;s not real
Helen Huxtable: Wooow
CorniferSleeps: Thought it was just a clickbait title. But jeeze
wwcwm: slay matpat!
Cinderan magnus: Matpat if u have something to say<br>Please do it on your channel<br>I&#39;ve bein watching u for years now<br>And I&#39;ve bein blind to all the social media that u are on <br>So please put more stuff on the channel<br>And the all fearsome couch
SexyBurrito69: Angry matpat is scary, definitely great and necessary message though.
Xenostra: LOL you&#39;ve been doing this for years. What&#39;s causing you to apologize now? Cuz you got backlash?? Lol
Jason Granillo: It feels like I’m getting talked to by the principal
Theo Boqvist: Can u make a Little nightmare theory
Bunny Luv: Do more Minecraft
Juel Jon: Can you talk about the act man situation
Habiba Sultana: Another minecraft theroy pls for the new update
M72: Aaaand he was wrong. I knew it.
LuminenianAnubis: You could&#39;ve have used another thumbnail. Maybe a black screen saying &quot;I messed up&quot; or something.
chooty jr: Agree!<br>But one little problem: beside my house there is a pizzeria called Freddy&#39;s.<br>Not joking they even have the bear and everything
Brandon Bluhm Velázquez: Guess it&#39;s really here, guys:<br><a href="https://freddyfazbearspizzadelivery.com/">https://freddyfazbearspizzadelivery.com/</a>
ThewyCypress 810: WHERE IS FORTNITE LORE THEORY?!?!?!?!?
Keyra Almeraz: Also is anyone actually know <br>That there is a a arje they <br>Did say that that<br>The creator who&#39;d have told us maybe they were trying us not to go that deep
OXYMANo2: The fact that Matpat not only posted this as soon as possible but also took some responsibility and apologized for this going out of hand even though it wasn&#39;t his intention says a lot about him and the crew. I wish you all the best and please remember the rules!
Melissa Fincher: I watched it and I was like ok like I usually do
Aleisha Draws: Very glad that Mat addressed this
FIVE BASKET6925: Hummmmmmmm
Rainbow Volt: I agree wholeheartedly with this! &lt;3
Grey White: This ain&#39;t the 39 clues series.
Arthur butcher: Wonder who started this...
improvers: Come on cut us some slack the Gen Z went crazy because of covid 19
WhyIsStuffStuff: Way to go!<br>I&#39;m proud to be part of a channel like this that takes responsibility so seriously.<br>Thank you.
duolingo multiplayer: Very brave mat thanks for adressing this issue i hope our fellow theorist learn from this
GlitchedWolf Xl: Scott Cawthon: <br><a href="https://youtu.be/63jV0Lweif0">https://youtu.be/63jV0Lweif0</a>
Random Channel: I love how matpat is acting like a parent to his community in this video, and kindly telling us what we should and should not do.
Sammy hyena: Matpat: I’m not mad I’m just disappointed.<br>All the loyal theorists: oh… <b>sad theorist noises</b><br><br>Edit: he took responsibility for this so he has the right to have disappointed dad energy right now
kirby_ooo Silva: A remember me watch him went i was a kid
CBMagus49: Fun fact about the Gravity Falls Cipher Hunt ARG; they had to move the Bill statue after it was found because they&#39;d put it on private property by mistake and the owners weren&#39;t cool with it, so that was actually a great example to use!
Arararagi-san: As I&#39;ve watched the last video of the FNAF theory, when I saw the title I facepalmed and immediately knew the some idiots had gone too far.
Hermann Roets: I did not even know what an ARG is before this video... Seems like something you&#39;d see in an edgy movie...
GuyInAGame: matpat is like 30 and is just now starting to look like hes older 25
Not a Person: Honestly I think it was mostly kids cus they don’t care about the other Args but they do like fnaf
Sprigatito: Some of us can&#39;t be that smart if they are asking IRL about a cinema in a BOOK.
green potato: Not sure if this is the best moment to mention this<br>But I&#39;d really love an episode about Rusty Lake. Cool game series with an ARG going on as well and a new game coming soon
Shane Luke: Lol wow that was quick
I’llKidnap1000ChildrenBeforeILetThisCompanyDie !: Please stop with the goddamn five nights at Freddy’s videos
NexeL: I gotta show respect for Matt here.  I had no idea the ARG blew up this quickly and this badly.  It hits a bit closer to home for me since I myself live in northern Utah, somewhat close to the original location name dropped in the theory video.  Hearing that businesses here were getting harassed by overly eager fans is bracing to say the least.  Thanks for apologizing, addressing the issues and laying out hard rules for this community to follow in the future Matt.  Very well said, and let&#39;s hope that something like this doesn&#39;t happen again.
Hideroki: 3. Be safe in public. DO NOT trespass.<br>Keep safe guys in this world you might get shot for trespassing or in the best case you will end up in jail.
1iron: I was waiting to see when you’d respond. I’ve always got the utmost respect for you. Love all your videos and I learn so much from your videos. Thank you Mat and co.
Soulless Dealer Gaming: It is sad that we get more dumb as our technology gets more smarter.
NCG_Goggles: This is mattpatt here. No one expected this. Much appreciate addressing this 🙏.  Keep up the content
YASHBANT ROUT: Whyan 🤔
DashFire: Day 11 of asking matpat to cover sea of solitude
That girl from hell that kidnaps bad people.: stirring trouble for milking the series.
Sherin: only dubs
JustTheLettuce: Thanks dadpat
Odd Otaku: Whats an ARG?
Suki: The speed at which this was covered, the way it was handled, the straight up apology, and the guidelines on how to do better, it just gives me more and more respect for Mat, the Theorist Crew, and even the fanbase as a whole. The fact that we can handle things like this with tact and understanding is absolutely remarkable! 💙✨
Gillian Mercier: I LOVE this. Thank you MatPat. All youtubers should take note of this video. Genuine concern, a call to action, AND gives ways to resolve the situation rather than &quot;I don&#39;t have a plan, I just hate theirs&quot; sort of sentiment. Chef&#39;s kiss, MatPat!
Sterban: There is a 1 in 5.2^62 chance that if you were to slap a table all of the molecules in your hand would miss all the molecules in the table.  :)
zvilemon: I find it so odd how this happened. Gravity Falls ARG actually involved willing participant businesses but to my knowledge no businesses experienced this. I think part of this is that the FNAF ARG (if it even is) is so vague. The Gravity Falls one was very specific for who you needed to contact. I think it also helped that, for the most part, you had to physically go there.
N. G.: Nice apology, theory guy. Shifting all the blame to everyone else for your ill advised video on a subject that, if it had been properly researched, would never have been made.
Loamy Tenebrous: Commenting just to boost this. Internet safety is huge, and harassment (intentional or not) isn&#39;t cool
Thomas Frailey: keep looking anyway
Flippin Heck Furry: Mattpatt had to lecture his kids again 😭 Having to be everyone’s dad today 😭😭😭
Adam Volný: Matpat: Well, well, well, if these aren&#39;t consequences of my poorly chosen words
Theurgy: And you stop the fnaf videos, you ridicule yourself.
YB FriendlyStrawberry: Oh now that you mention it does seem like outright rules for what to do in solving an ARG aren&#39;t explicitly stated like ever. Thank you for the video~ hope all the ARG solvers get to have a bunch of safe fun ^^
Maximum Yeet: How could you not expect this to happen, it’s happened before
Milo Murphy: I like how all of the comments on this video are respectful and happy about the fact that MatPat made this video. Everyone Twitter is still hating on him, because they’re just completely toxic and their only enjoyment in life is trying to ruin other people’s lives for no reason.
Fred Casden's World: Well mark this as the day that reacting out and relying on the community came back to bite MatPat on the rear... maybe call it karma for him saying Game Developers should just let him be right about theories instead of trying to be creative and come up with surprises.
A M: ‍
RiverDS: oh great the community is acting stupid again……. sips tea
RedShipley: the one to many relationship is a dangerous one
sahyro films: MatPat did you here the news about the Fazbear pizza thing happening in the US, the same company that did the Mr beast burger delivery, their doing a FNAF one that they will be delivering a delicious, juicy, fresh, delicate, cheesy, pointy, acute slice of pizza
KPH3: This feel like I&#39;m getting a talk from my dad for something my brother did. The comparison is uncanny
SasskeeperXanth: I&#39;ll be honest, I was not expecting to see Mat on a couch, and when I saw the title and how serious he got right away I got really worried someone got actually physically hurt over it. I&#39;m relieved it wasn&#39;t that bad, and glad that it&#39;s being addressed before it did get that bad. Cause I know how the internet can get...
Daniel Hexx: You are just the best ❤️
Cesar Lopez: I came to the comment section for tea and drama and got a lot of respectful and genuine comments. I&#39;m not disappointed
Zero point omega: Magine callin’ up yo local dominos like “aye did you kill a bunch of kids?” And they say “yea a few why?”
Bubba's Big Blast: Matt is a sweetheart. Don&#39;t make Matt sad : (
StonerClown: Wth happen?
Positivesmiles: Guys the arg is just a theory don’t go calling places that probably were referenced because Scott went to it so guys don’t do that you need to remember the etiquette the gravity falls arg had rules so listen to Matpat and do what he says and don’t dox anyone!
Yadasa: I wish I had even the tiniest bit of social skill to do ARGs with the rest of the community, but I do agree that there are hard boundaries while solving them
sspring pa NG: Based MatPat moment
Issac Pack: Do a theories on this game please cell to singularity
Spazthulu: I looked in the comments for this to be mentioned   but didn&#39;t see any so I&#39;m saying it myself.<br><br>Small addition to a few of the rules<br>If the place is specifically mentioned or heavily implied ie something like &quot;the movie theater on Wington road Albacor New Jersey (completely made up location for obvious reasons) then it is fine to call the place just make sure that if they say it is not part of the arg that you say in the centralized communication area for the arg that they aren&#39;t a part of it and do not post any phone numbers or addresses untill you are absolutely sure the corresponding place is part of the arg<br><br>Sorry for garbage grammar
Jack Armstrong: I know this is off topic, but Mat rocks that leather jacket.
Slowbrodragon🦛: I called them for the lore, they are hiding it! I won&#39;t give up
ARandomGuy: when matpat puts on that black leather jacket, you know its serious
Skibuk: Game theory: Matpat is held on gunpoint by Scott and had to release this video.
Skoggy: Call a phone number when the arg gives you that number
Loggio R. Speedweed: I appreciate you being the responsible adult here and addressing this issue, however:<br>&quot;I NEVER expected this to happen...&quot;<br>ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS MATT?! This LITERALLY happened before, way back when Help Wanted came out; the FNAF fandom harassed Showbiz Pizza over some Easter Egg images Scott included in the game which he then DELETED! WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED? You SHOULD know better by now!<br>Also because of that, Scott has vouch to never do ARGs or anything similar again, so you&#39;re essentially sending everyone on a wild goose chase! THERE IS NO FNAF ARG! STOP IT!!<br><br>All this just proves my point that you&#39;ve lost so much self consciousness and self awareness over the years of making up silly theories and digging deeps holes for lore that you are &#39;surprised&#39; when things start going awry, It&#39;s honestly very sad to see!<br>I genuinely believe you&#39;re a nice guy Matt, just please stop and THINK about how the fandom will react and the potential consequences before putting a call to action like this.
John Thomas: Call up game stop and ask if they have a copy of Battletoads. That&#39;s the way to do it.
No: If you got a lot of calls that all sound about the same thing you would think it&#39;s spam but it wouldn&#39;t be seen as spam
T Newman: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=6m43s">6:43</a> are when the guidelines start.
Hydra777: this is what happens when you get popular on youtube
Avvi: im just commenting so this vid gets more viewer engagement
sahyro films: Is it wierd that I love this
EarthwormVA: WE STAN
Mason Bertrand: Is it weird he pulled off an apology video better than YouTubers that actually have to post apology videos for doing real stupid stuff they&#39;ve done
Sarah Collins: Same problem started to happen with the Project 863 (Matthiasiam) ARG - seems to have been stifled, but it’s frustrating to see. PS do a theory on the Project 863 key mystery!!
allaycake09: I agree
fanboiJEN2C: This is a better apology vide
Yogurtsnipe 05: Instead of just talking about the ARG imma ask, <b>how was your day?</b>
Tim Gorg: please make a forth channel
Omesa: Lmao man just referenced Domino&#39;s as i was eating domino&#39;s pizza
Pantalone: Funny how he only addressed when twt made him trending but not the ones that harmed ppl in the past with no apologies
McCheese: amazing apology! I wish other youtubers like Dream would learn from this
Colby Kesler: Incredibly amazed at how you handled this Mat. I&#39;ve been a watcher for years now and I&#39;m always impressed at how quickly and efficiently you handle serious and important topics when it comes to things like these. Appreciate your work and I hope you continue to succeed.
Christina Prado: 3hrs ago I was in the pool…
Virginia Fusilier: Appreciate you and your team- not just providing apologies but rules and most importantly, potential solutions. Mad respect for taking the initiative and being solid even in the scary, rough patches of real world issues. 💜
Pelufaz: It would be funny if Scott came out and say there&#39;s no ARG 🤣😂
dong_ding: im sorry but what is a arg hunt?
Shoya: What is ARG ?
imNilco: well said, Mat. as innocent as somone&#39;s intention may be, multiplying their positive intention into 100s if not 1000s can nonetheless be wildly overwhelming and result in an overall negative experience (or even worse) for someone who isn&#39;t aware of the situation.
wawa: Proud of u matt :)
unknown: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... .
David Begbie: There go the extreme extroverts ruining it again
Emperor Grogu: Hay matt pat you going to do theory on disk number 5 in mincraft

Cedric Dallaire: Omg internet is so dumb XD
King-Of-Nightmares: This video is the feeling of being lectured like your mad but you have to listen so you stop being mad
Agamemnon: Wow awesome video, it&#39;s rare to see creators reprimand their communities for stuff like this (mainly thinking of the Minecraft Stans). Proud of you man
Ali Gaming: mat, you&#39;re an absolute champ
Drifty: Ok
Tactical Goldfinch: Why would anyone think public businesses in a town would know about an arg from one book from a single franchise that is mainly known to millennials and younger?
Shiny charizard💀: Was it just me or did matpats camera bug out thru out the entire video
Maximilian Hofmann: Viewed, liked and commented, just to get the algorithm doing its thing👍
Inferno: hey matt i feel like you will never see this but i am trying to tell you as a youtuber to look up <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeForActMan</a>. this is a bitt about what your talking about r now. we need your help and you the game theorists to look this up we need to stand up.

SnowberBanditess: Mat pat you kan do a theory over the yt matthias and he is in a world of project 863 for 3 or 4 years now I think that this is interesting for your viewer and hoe has not heard form him
- picklesrreal -: My b
Michael Plantarich: Great video, and hope this reaches the masses to prevent worse things from happening
Celes e Fernal: Thank god you, as a content creator and influencer, are quick to take responsibility, while others are quick to avoid. This is one of the reasons I adore this channel.
Raydation: Ironic how the book made that light jab saying &quot;let the author tell the story&quot;, then THIS happen lol
K: completely unrelated, but I like how you feel a slight sense of anger from Matpat&#39;s tone and face but still presents himself in a positive way, feels like this is how Dadpat is gonna lecture Oli in the future.
Kirisaki: MatPat: &quot;such devastation this was not my intention&quot;

Beef: Thank you Mr. Patrick for informing the masses about proper ARG etiquette
MrSandman127: I must say, because I&#39;m a fan of the channel:<br>1) <i>MatPat, you look like you could use some pillowtime. I hope you&#39;re doing well.</i> and;<br>2) <i>What&#39;s a FNAF?</i>
Jonatan: What the hell is an arg?
MuffinKat55: Lowkey scared now. But happy this was addressed.
Diceyed: I thank you for your quick response and smart guidelines moving forward. This was greatly handled after an amazing flub up.
Memory Storage: Mat is one of the best. He addressed the issue as soon as possible and took responsibility for it. I love his contents
Dustin Frost: Maybe we have to call them a certain number of times to get lore. Like Candy Cadet. Let&#39;s jump in again!
Thomas Baby Eater: You&#39;re an influencer, you should&#39;ve expected this from your fans by now

Kuru Shimu: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=7m49s">7:49</a> this reminded me of welcome to the games secret ending
Geovany Paredes: I think we had more than enough reason to realize this might have been an issue. Matpat has to much faith in us (I don’t blame him for that). Though I guess we can’t blame everyone. Especially matpat. We just need to be more mindful about what this community has the ability’s to do. <br>One last thing. The only reason we didn’t anticipate it this much was do to most of his args to be primarily online. <br>Anyways to those that read all this have a great day
Nissan 240sx: F
Andrew McGurk: They&#39;re going to figure this out and it&#39;ll turn out there&#39;s some cave out there with a pizzeria sign over it and a springtrap statue slouched in a corner.
Vadoosh: Pin me I am William afton now pin me or I’ll make you do more fnaf videos
Aldi Natswir: Arg fans after this video: Ah that is makes sense... <br>Let&#39;s point gun at their head just make sure they really don&#39;t know
DontBlattMe: This was prudent of you, gj matpat
JoefailedLife 🇺🇦: Props to you for makeing the best YouTube  apology video ever
Joseph Fitzgerald NSW: LOL I guess it’s a thing now I can no longer have winter coat during winter.
just a nobody: Love how everyone is agreeing with this, but I feel like the teams behind the books should have been more aware of this happening. <br><br>I mean big companies reference numbers sometimes, they just make sure it’s a number they own.
the redfedora: He isn&#39;t mad, he&#39;s just disappointed<br><br>You lot have disappointed Dadpat
Daedhart: If this was bad enough to require a new video, you should take down the original video until you can re-release it with extra points in this video.
WindowsTechSupport: I wonder how many calls Chuckie Cheese got..
Ragu: Addressed the problem and provided a well thought out solution that all can benefit from. Thank you Matpat!

Ron's hall productions: never did i ever think the fanbase would take things so literal
A Smol Chumbud: Respect 100 for Matpat for addressing the issue early
【𝕀𝕔𝕖𝔹𝕝𝕦𝕖𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣ℂ𝕒𝕥】: It’s Freddy’s pizza being real all over again
Cihloun: &quot;But hey, that&#39;s not a theory.<br><br>THAT&#39;S ILLEGAL&quot;
KingKiler2K: Anyone else remember the Fnaf pizzeria in real life they found?
Green Riøt: At this point I think I know what ARG stands for, but would someone please clarify the exact words it stands for?
INSANATIC RABIOT420: Hm, maybe there isn&#39;t really an arg if this is an issue rn, sometimes maybe the arg is still not made and these businesses have no idea or Was told to do this so, idk
Rob: What does arg mean
Negative IQ: Bro i just realized that his children will have the best bedtime stories and a amazing father
Mica Brookshire: please please please make sure this is one of the first videos to pop up on your page when someone  clicks on it. social and internet etiquette, especially when they collide, should be much more common knowledge, and this video is the perfect teaching tool for it. thank you so much for this. thank you for trying to keep us safe ❤️
Alisha Hird: Remember back in 2015, when a group of FANAF fans harassed a pizzeria in Virgina....because its name was similar? I remember hearing about how  the pizzeria staff was very confused with all the calls. <br>Thats one worry I had when you posted that last video.<br> <br>I have 2 theories, probably wrong.<br>1. what if this place set in Utah, is based on several places. A fabricated  small town, so as not to bother  businesses/communities. So no one will get harassed.<br>Or <br>2. Maybe the place will exist, it&#39;s in the works.
Variety Live: I remember back when fort nite had an arc there was a phone number you had to call so when is it ok and not ok to call a number u find
WIlliam Afton: Freddy   fazbear  pizza delivery   is real now
Revrse Lynx: School, anyone?
ex-yokomo37: I literally missed 1 video what tf happened
Mister Booga: Is there even actually a FNAF ARG though?
Elmo Wilson: THERE ARE SO MANY LONG COMMENTS! What is arg
ultra4mrcool: Dang I didn&#39;t do anything and I feel like I did
Victoria Lima: Vids like this remind me that i started watching game theory as a tween and that MatPat’s audience still has a significant young portion. I appreciate this bc MatPat is addressing a preexisting issue that hasn’t really been properly addressed, but these rules seem like basic common sense. Handled incredibly well tho
One_N_Done: Why are y’all calling random places for an arg anyways like they would know anything 😂
zebragrrl: Just commenting to help the algorithm get this message out there. Like, Comment, and Subscribe, etc.
Mia_InSlytherin: Another rule should be, if you are a minor always be supervised when going to places for an ARG. You never really now what could happen and who also could be there waiting for young kids and teens
Addie: Thanks for covering this 👍💕
Astartes Willum: I&#39;m too broke and lazy to do this anyway.
Isoya Yasuji: Now THIS, is how a youtuber should act and respond to allegations, misuse/misinformation of something in quick action unlike <i>certain</i> youtubers who do this after around a year when it dies out. They should take note on him xD
cattails12: hi
Turtle Godss: I didn&#39;t even know what a arg before this
Steve Badaczewski: Not ever gonna know the guy I said to do a dead head can I get a tired and just get a red if I did the survey Baptist and an effort to saying that the baby
MrSandman127: Dang, I was just about to call GameStop for a copy of Battletoads...
Ryan Rybicki: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=10m13s">10:13</a> MatPat used the endline of Amoeba Sisters
Ryan Egeler: Never thought I&#39;d see the day where I&#39;d hear Mat Pat use his dad voice, and scold a handful of us lol. Joking aside, I love how this was handled. Very short, direct, and to the point, but stern so you couldn&#39;t misconstrue the serious context of the words he was saying. I appreciate the video even though I don&#39;t actively participate in the ARG puzzle solving. Though I absolutely love the lore that comes with these types of games/puzzles. Be safe, and smart everyone.
Oscuro DiTenshi: Matt I will say this as someone who&#39;s a big fan of you and everything you do just keep being you and doing what you. Well done for not just sorting out the issue and addressing it in the way that you have done especially with you having to catch a flight too. Nothing but love and respect for what you are addressing. Well done ❤️
Demetrie Morgan: Matpat realize the power of the internet it&#39;s a delicate thing but a sad thing to
creeperArt: So no wonder some of these stories are &quot;scrapped&quot;
Courtney Faison: I am just a passer-by of the theory video and did not try to participate in the ARG but I definitely appreciate the swift response to this! I would argue to add a &quot;Leave no trace&quot; bullet point to your list. When visiting these places, you don&#39;t want to do anything that is going to inherently change the landscape of that place, especially if these are shared public spaces.
Jonathan Williams: Never go to real world locations alone. Go with others for safety.<br><br>Clues shouldn&#39;t be dangerous to retrieve (e.g. risking your life/limbs).
2Menico: I have a theory.<br>Scott(creator of FNAF) voice acted for phone guy but Scott also has his own character. So what if Scott&#39;s character was also phone guy. And what if Scott&#39;s character is involved with the FNAF lore.
WatchTower96: I mean, didn’t the same thing happen when FNAF originally come out?
~GL1TCH_CØDE~: big respect to Matpat for owning up to the situation even if it wasn&#39;t his fault.
Elliott C-C: Appreciate him addressing this in some way. Hope he does something similar for the jokes he made around white supremacy while doing the black power fist, or the misinformed way he discussed DID as a story technique and not a real trauma formed disorder. <br>Mat isn&#39;t a bad guy, but you can&#39;t say whatever you want to such a large audience and not take accountability when you get it wrong.
Delfall Studios: Another problem rising! Great! Not really. But respect to Matpat and a GRAVE sorry to businesses that got harassed.<br><br>Anyway, stay safe to everybody who don’t and everybody who do read this! :D
Kaori Kurenai: Unexpected things like this are always going to happen and this right here is a great example of how to properly handle it. Respond quickly, be sincere, and present a solution.
Manzi: First rule is &quot;don&#39;t be degenerate and use your brain” 🤦
jelly giner dragamonz fan boy n gemmy guy: Hey can you do a theory of RFA aka roblox footage archives the wiki is allso help full
hettyhielke: That&#39;s not a game theory, but a reality fact, also can someone message Scott or reach out to ask if there is anything we should know in the arg cuz that mightve had valuable information
6_F_R_O_S_T_9: Matpat out here destroying small businesses🤣
TheRandomMuffin♡: Honestly him addressing this and even offering solutions to the problem in the future is amazing and this is why I&#39;m so proud to be part of this community and I respect Matt so much even if our community doesn&#39;t make the most thought out decisions. My respect for Matt was high but it&#39;s definitely higher now
colloq59: wat have u done
SpyderVen0m: Legend says if you say MatPat 3 times you get pinned...<br>MatPat<br>MatPat<br>MatPat
Thomas George: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeForActman</a>
Merobiba: Wow. Did Mat do something stupid again?
Gracie The Persnickety Puppy: Really appreciate this! It was much needed &lt;3
Ronald Kruse: bump
Joseph Bugeja: This FNAF ARG doesn’t exist if it even existed at all it’s been most certainly canceled due to both the fact that Scott Resigned from FNAF due to Cancel Culture ironically &amp; thanks to the Pandemic it’s become logistically impossible &amp; way too costly to setup.. 😕<br><br>Plus Since Steelwool Studios took over the reins from Scott I seriously doubt that they even have that kind of money to throw around for an FNAF ARG (that their previous IP Owner <b>MIGHT</b> have been planning) in uncertain times like the Pandemic..
BarbieQueenoftheFandoms: How to actually handle issues like an adult with respect to the fan base.
Living Constellation: You should do a theory on Eastward
Womby Gaming Leviathan: Please Do A Theory About Cat Quest! Also Great Vid!
Lance Dean: It&#39;s funny this was a problem in the first place.
M O: :| … is it just me or is his left ear sticking out more in this vid? have i just never noticed?
Truster Zero: Shows how powerful your channel actually is
Sin606: I never expected to see a scolding from MatPat, I agree with you and glad you stepped up.
VastTTYL: damn MatPat looks great in that jacket, AND his hair is on point. That&#39;s our MatPat
Loki Ruiz: I heard about the problem on the news. And didn&#39;t expect it but. Sweet job making the video.
littledemontingy: Number one rule for any fandom. Have a healthy respect for the line between fantasy and reality. This comes up a lot in shipping communities, but can also be snagged on in this context too. Fnaf covers murders. Fictional murders. If you find yourself researching a lead that involves real life deaths, dont go calling victims families. I guarantee fnaf isnt real and all you do when you interrogate families is drag up trauma and distress. Keep it in the fictitious world, even in a real world game.
K.!!: Keep bein a responsible, educational, and entertaining influencer matpat!! Glad to see u stepping in so soon to herd and heed all these over excited fellow theorists~
Big John: Pls make more minecraft vids I will love you forever
DJ Sterf: <b>Hides the excavators I may or may not have brought to random Utah villages to try to dig up Freddy Fazbear&#39;s Pizza Place from beneath vacant sand dunes</b>
ME EAT YU WHOLE: Hbi
Obadijah Parks: Respect 🙏...
Aaron Miguel: damn MattPatt you just became my favorite youtuber I love you
Alan D. Cat: Mad respect
Elevator and Ceiling Fan Enthusiasm: Wow... this is the pizzeria in New Jersey all over again...
Alec Lawson: See, this is what an apology video SHOULD be. No fake emotions, no guilt tripping, none of that. Just explaining what went wrong and helping make sure the problem is resolved
Ash: Honestly props to game theory for addressing this and get it out there as quickly as possible. I just watched it, went &quot;hmm can&#39;t help. Oh well.&quot; And left it at that. But I kinda figured some folks might not. I&#39;m glad that there&#39;s been some sort of rules set forth, and that should help going forward :)
happpyy :): WE NEED ARG RULES
Rosealyn: I love how quickly you addressed this Mat! And, the EDUCATION on top of it all. Some folks just don&#39;t know, and now we all have a basis of ediquette to follow.
Dev Valentine: thank you matpat!
Zax Four: Ok
Please enter a name: I had no idea this was happening, but thank you anyway, I enjoyed the video.
Expurg tiky: oh no dad pat&#39;s angry
Elvin Carl Ouano: ok
Tango Bango: I love this, this is a very responsible approach to fixing a mistake, it just shows matt has extremely high standards of accountability and morality
Mitchell Burdett: Thank you for addressing this.
Kratosdad1: Very smart move
thegingineer0: Real quick, I noticed that the vid is still up. Might want to pull that, make some revisions, and re-up.
MIKE16: Best apology video so far tbh👍
Anonim: Is very funny because some kids call at restaurants and ask about FNAF
Aidan DeLeon: But I&#39;m so close, I know the jewel oscos store manager is hiding something
drk dragn: RULE #1 ... its a GAME... never EVER do ANYTHING that would be in a game in REAL LIFE that would cause social, personal, economic, or law problems for you OR anyone else
Pixxlated: Man, it&#39;s crazy the difference between MatPat and someone like Dream. Dream turns a blind eye to his toxic community and brushes it off like there&#39;s no real issue, but MatPat realizes the issue, addresses it as fast as possible, and attempts to solve the very root of the issue. Just goes to show who REALLY cares.
LillyEllie Animation: 🙂
Hamer51: I’d like to suggest a singular step further to help stop this in its tracks ; I’d recommend going back and changing the title of the video to include something pointing the viewers to go imeadiately watch this video as you probably can’t edit it in without taking it down
gremlin117: Damn, MatPat looks old in this vid.  For a second there I thought John Krasinski was up on screen talking bout ARGs
CameronF305: Respect
Kageoni187: Awesome job covering this quickly and effectively. You handled it in very guiding way and supportive manner.
Kelvin Rivera-Domenech: The frustration shows and is understood
Rico Weapon: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=2m28s">2:28</a> if only quantum tv knew this
Cki TV: Great apology Mat. Enough said. 👏🏾
Shrey Mathur: If I might add something to this ARG rule list, I would say &quot;WAIT FOR THE CREATOR OR COMPANY TO ADDRESS IT/GIVE A HINT&quot;. I&#39;ve never done an ARG before but looking back at the Gravity Falls ARG, I remember Alex Hirsch always being active on Twitter and always guiding the community to the right path. <br>The creators of ARGs definitely want you to solve it as much as you do, so they&#39;ll tell you where to go and who to call if you&#39;re patient enough. So it&#39;s just better to wait for Creators to say something than go sleuthing in a dangerous place
Toxin543: It’s amazing! A god among mankind! The first one to not only address the issue PROPERLY, but also come up with a SOLUTION for the issue!
GentlemanFrog: I&#39;m very impressed by Mat&#39;s dedication, very nice seeing responsibility from him on on problem he didn&#39;t cause, (well directly at least..).<br>But di our friend Mathew Pathew just say... Inscryption... and FORTNITE??? FORTINE ARG!? WTH IS THAT??
Noshow: This reminds me of the pawn shop battletoads thing.
theamongo1: im gonna continue
Griffgame YT: God speed the respect to you rises more and more
🤍 𝓜𝓸𝓸𝓷 🤍: MatPat: „STAWHP.“
annamarie king: I like to think of ARGs like GeoCashing. You wanna find the loot, without alerting non-cashers that you or the loot is there. Act like it’s a secret and only interacting with other cashers/ARGers
LordBloodySoul: Yeah, this shows that some mysteries and ARGs could cause unintentionally harm.<br>We gotta be careful.<br><br>Nice of you to address this and to offer some solution.
AJs Videos: Beyond a reasonable doubt’s use is becoming more and more dubious
Lord Megatron: * deep inheal, soft exhale * Lmao
𝓛𝓮𝔀𝓲𝓼: i mostly just watch your videos for entertainment. i don&#39;t really care about lore or mysteries in anything (but only a few things). what even is ARG&#39;s? also i like your jacket
Benjamin Abruzzo: I wonder... before ARGs there were police tips lines. How did the police handle a call to action that offered a reward for a tip leading to the arrest and conviction of a criminal? Maybe that&#39;s something to look into for a video?
Darkdest666: Yikes.
Audry Neilson: I have another thing to add: if there is a real-world location given, assume that local theorists will get there first and post. There’s no need to crowd such locations, especially if they’re in a small town or wilderness-type area. Too much foot traffic can endanger these environments or make the environment dangerous. There is no shame in watching from afar.
Gabriel Giles Solis: Fun fact: there is a arg in roblox thats so hard to finish just for a chomik (hampter)
Oliver Andersen: So basically we shouldn&#39;t do stupid stuff?

Martin Krédl: I would suggest looking in the console porty aswell
Butter Kirby: ❤
Lydia Smith: He handled this so well, I seriously can not express that enough. Not only did he ask us to stop and apologize to the businesses, but he found a solution, which will not only help him and the community in the future, but also other channels wanting to cover ARG’s.
Ryan Wong: matpat u look wrinkly
Tylgooo3: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=3m41s">3:41</a> pun master matt
Midoriya: All I can think about was Pokémon Go incident where they found a dead body
Nothing4YouHere: I bet the Game Theory legal team had a panic attack with this one.
PogChump: I hear you MatPat, this video is another part of the ARG, we&#39;re close everyone, keep brute forcing it we&#39;ll crack it soon
taryn frank: that wasn’t a game theory, but a game law
Kringy Klips: what&#39;s an arg?
Kilean: Honestly is this why that story was scrapped in the first place they didn&#39;t want this to happen
Thomas Parsons: Finally, we see the rare and beautiful <br>Game Fact.
ZennyLetsPlay: Safety first! except with cars where you: 1. open the door. 2. Sit down. 3. Close the door. 4. Put your seatbelt on.
HaroldTheTree: I like the honesty
ZeNoob GamingYT: Years without an apology video :0
Keira Cross: Leave it to matpat to set healthy boundaries for his fellow theorists out there so no one ends up damaging private property because of something FNAF related, that would have been embarrassing
CUMLORDTHY3RD: The brige between fiction and reality have been breach it was a oath we shouldn&#39;t have broken
Samantha Schmidt: Can anyone clarify what an ARG is?
Sam Royale: Matpat- &quot; Never saw this coming.&quot;<br>Me-<br>Thats why its called &quot;JUST A THEORY!!&quot;<br>Nice message Matty patty, ❤️😙
storminmormin14: Freedom comes with responsibility. If you don’t want the government to start regulating these games you have to act responsibly.
Classic Sonic and Tails Animation: FNAF ARG is not longer existing.
sus upgrade: Matpat: <b>sits on the couch</b><br>Video: <i>&quot;Things just went from 0 to 100 real quick.&quot;</i>
LittleVader: Bruh moment
Mihaen Boldy: I think the 6th rule should be: Do not Poop anywhere except on the toilet
Mr Syl: Fortnite
kiga: Mat reminds me of an angry teacher that come back to a note about misbehaving class from a sub. Please don&#39;t stress him out😂
ah: He sounds like a angry parent speaking to there kid and the other adult who got touched by said kid.
Cheddr ♪: 30,484th
River Bandit: I never thought we’d ever get the “5 Commandments of Solving an ARG” much less delivered by MatPat. Interesting how the Internet develops.
Joeys Joeys: How to try to avoid future legal responsibility: A video essay.
SnowRose💙: I have lots of respect for MatPat. This video was well needed and it&#39;s nice to see him publicly apologize and make things right. Lots of love and lots of respect for you Mat.👍
Danny Parks: This is like Pokemon GO all over again XD
Rina: I’m glad he addressed this. Simply put don’t do things to others you wouldn’t be okay with being done to you. ARGs are suppose to be fun an engaging don’t ruin it by making real life issues.
Dakota Collins: All the other comments say it perfectly, so I&#39;m just leaving a comment to help the algorithm 😁
Argoth 58: Another rule that some ppl require is keep things civil
Tori McCroan: Are you going to address the prejudice in your Encanto videos?
Catherine M: Pretty sure there is no arg for fnaf anyway
daikoru: Realizing your getting yourself in trouble. Never do something like an Arg again.
Pandy Daize: 0-0 I just lazily looked through some books on my bed, wow....
°Cinnamon Cat°: You know, I&#39;m just gonna never click on anything matpat related on Twitter cause my God the hate he gets there. I&#39;m just gonna stick to yt and reddit  :/
Conner Jessop: As a big YouTuber, can you weigh in on the Act Man, Quantum TV drama going on? It feels really wrong and unfair what’s going on, and maybe I just don’t understand it. I don’t think anyone is more qualified to dissect the issue than you are
Zcorp productions: no
 ꧁Lani Lynnwood꧂: I&#39;m watching this at midnight just cause I can&#39;t sleep
335zhaoyun: <a href="https://youtu.be/E-Jh-DCBvjM">https://youtu.be/E-Jh-DCBvjM</a>
Lucky DeFox: When u find out there is actually a five night at freddy restaurant being made
Ariel Gladwell: I&#39;ve never clicked faster in my life, even though I knew exactly what the video was for
WulfKnightArtorias: You hit the nail on the head MatPat. There has been a distinct lack of written rules of ARG etiquette. I give praise to the speed at which you discovered the issue and how well you and the channel thought out the list for ARG etiquette,  which I hope Every ARG will take note of.
Youtube Enjoyer: This was dope for what some would consider an apology.
Wesley Urena: Matpat with the classic jacket indoors looking totally cool
[ Quionol ]: Thank you for speaking out on this.
maxturbo45: youtube&#39;s most respected apology video...
Zachariah Johnson: MatPat still hasn’t apologized for the Theory Crates.
Daniel johnson: This is how it should be done. This is proper handling of bad press. He doesn&#39;t blame anyone. Instead he takes responsibility, lays down respectable boundaries to prevent further incidents, and provides helpful information to allow his community to continue thriving without commiting a crime. Our politicians could learn a thing or two from you MattPatt.
KO: I knew this was gonna happen as soon as it was announced
Calli Masters: this is why mat is on another level of youtuber, and why the game theory community is an extraordinary place for interaction and discussion. he had, really, no actual responsibility to do this, but did so to offer damage control and guide his viewers. what a lovely choice.
FGLM001: It caught me off guard the way he said stop. He didn&#39;t say &quot;Sorry, but...&quot; or &quot;I understand what you were doing but...&quot; he just straight out said &quot;This is unacceptable, so stop it.&quot; Big respect.
HuManl0g: Why does he look like Jim halbert or whatever his name is
Sleepy ravenclaw: Respect for making this video
Not that serious: The second I watched his last video I knew this was gonna happen lol. Enticing viewers to help with virtual stuff is one thing but asking them to solve clues in the real world is another. I was like “so ppl are suppose to just wander around Utah hopping to find the place?” Cuz that’s the vibes I was getting lol. Still, props to him for owning up to it and apologizing. I’m just baffled how no one on the team saw things coming before hand…
Yo Soy Pedro: Matpat it&#39;s the kind of person who I want to be in the future
MrWhiteOut: It&#39;s FNAF IRL Again.
Emani Petrus: Also can you go more into detail for the phone number part, I remember there was a phone portion for the gravity falls arg/scavenger hunt
Avery Watts: Only commenting because the youtube algorithm likes it and yeah, everyone who saw the last video needs to see this apparently
GalacticKittyKat: DadPat mode was activated, even though I never partcipate in these things, for lack of resources and etc, that strong, &quot;I&#39;m not mad, Just disappointed&quot; vibe is strong, and I feel bad lol
Old King Cole: But remember that’s just a PSA, a theorist PSA thanks for watching
KEVIN SHELTON: If you can&#39;t solve FNAF then don&#39;t post videos of FNAF.
King Dedede: This right here is why I have absolutely nothing but respect for this man, both as a content creator and as a person
Jack Freeman: No fake crying, no clickbait thumbnail, no waiting a year to publish this… this isn’t a YouTube video at all. This is a proper apology instead. I’m so glad Matt not only apologize for the unintentional mishap, but also set up some rules as to not prevent this ever again.
Blkstr: i think for future args we should dub this as the godfather rule book for all args
•StrawberryTea•: MatPat you will always have my respect. You are such a fun and lighthearted channel but you never ignore serious topics such as these! It’s great to hear someone educate in a calm and respectful way, and in a way that younger audience members will understand!! &lt;3
Eliza Carrie: This! This is maturity and accountability! This is why we love and respect Matpat! I applaud your openness and honesty, and am so proud to be a supporter of your channels
Giovanni: Matt Patt real man of virtue and respect. Awesome
Roland phillips: Ok
GhostLordRetro: You know, MatPat, I have SO much respect for you and what you do! Honestly, you&#39;re a truly inspiring individual! Take notes, MatPat haters! You making this video PROVES that you are a great man! Everyone, give a round of applause to the man himself: Matthew Patrick!
Triggah CODM: Matpat is the Chad of Youtube apologies. Hopefully this ARG shinanagins can come to a close and we can all be a happy theorist community

Crazy Dud 33: ARG&#39;s are a new, recent phenomenon.  Most activities have rules of propriety.  Since these are new, the rules haven&#39;t been defined yet, so creating a set of ARG rules is definitely something that should happen.
TeamFortressgamer07: Hey mattpatt can you calculate how much force it would need to make spy fly in this video? <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ7n3k7M1GU">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ7n3k7M1GU</a>
TheBrando100: I think Matt’s hiding a secret message in this video 🧐
Lady Vice: &quot;Night Mind&quot; has the best take on the rules of ARGs
Toastytoats_fan: What does arg mean or stand for
Epicgamer101: watching this video makes me feel like my principle is talking to me about punching a kid and is making me scared but less
King Piggins: If you are gonna ask a question to a restaurant it&#39;s best to at least go buy something from them aswell
WarbossVanZwam: MatPat has stubble, that&#39;s how you know the video&#39;s serious.
Hartbreak1: Always expect the most radical reaction from the internet because it has no self control. If you’re a content creator always think about the worst case scenario and then think it some more because the internet always loves to defy expectations (for better or worse but usually worse). Don’t trust the internet “to do what is right” or to have any degree of self control.
BorkBorkie: Could never see Matpat getting &quot;canceled&quot;. He handled this in a very complete and respectful way, absolutely wonderful.
Carson Hayes: Jesus Christ loves you
Emani Petrus: I ain&#39;t do anything but I still feel like a puppy with my tail between my legs after getting caught destroying the toilet paper 😅
Unoriginal Moniker: Act Safely and Responsibly<br><br>1. Never publish someone&#39;s private information. Don&#39;t dox<br><br>2. Stick to public information.<br><br>3. Stick to public locations.<br><br>4. Do not call private buisinesses for ARG purposes.<br><br>5. Find one central place to solve online.<br><br>6. Do not destroy or vandalize property.<br><br>7. Don&#39;t intentionally interrupt communications, travel, or websites of individuals or buisinesses.<br><br>8. Look up local laws of any real-life locations you visit and abide by them.<br><br>There are probably more rules that can be added.
Your Finally Awake: Wait he thinks I&#39;m smart and respectful<br>That&#39;s so nice
dogfanll vr: The blue sector is ARG theory
SeanChan: Have you ever seen internet story? One of my biggest fears is one of these ARGs  getting hijacked by some weirdo. Idk that&#39;d make a great meta or unfiction story
Professor melon: I&#39;m so glad this video isn&#39;t just an &quot;I&#39;m disappointed in you,&quot; but he went into depth about what went wrong and gave us a solution
DemonicChicken: this is a great and really helpful video! im hoping to put together an arg for my original show in the future and this gives me some really great insight on how to safely and responsibly make and solve arg&#39;s. and its really admirable how quickly and grafully this was addressed
Sunny: Tbh… how and why would anyone think this is okay? For a audience who listens to theories and can find mathematical flaws this is the dumbest thing that has ever happened out of this community. When it comes to FNAF we’ve solved crosswords, games, source codes, audio clues and the classic picture adjustments. O.O<br><br>Glad this was addressed.
Milly: Maybe research and not call OwO<br>It&#39;s easy to google things-<br>And some places in games can be made up- 😔
Dragoș Gabriel Rad: Matpat sometimes you&#39;re crazy other times not very! Or rather calculated.Some of your fans may be children or more gullible adults (no offense) who may be impatient.What I mean is that I personally think this franchise has ruined you!You yourself showed very clear signs of dementia through FNAF.I don&#39;t want to be bad but I say take a break not only from FNAF but also from YouTube this summer. Have fun with friends and family. For your mental health.
Science N' Stuff: I Concur.
Netza Coatl: What
Avalie: Love ya,man. This isn&#39;t your fault and you still addressed it. I&#39;m not into FNAF like I was in high school but I always watch your theories. Love all of your content and I really appreciate all you do.
TheShepdawg: Common sense isn&#39;t so common, I guess. But all the same, thanks for making a prompt and professional response.
Dio Brando: This man just awakened that guilt (even though i didnt call anybody) that you get when a elementary teacher lectures your class over something.
Ipad Queen: Well, there always seems to be a risk with ARGs going out of bounds, considering the execution of the very first one being Ongs Hat.
Mei Mei: Thank you for this video.
Duck1ord: Oh no
Derek: sounds like somebody got a ...WTF YO...
Kalakade: I feel like I’ve been scolded by my father….<br><br>Now I know how his son feels
Jo: I respect you so much MatPat.
madmax 96: you might as well make the fourth GT channel fnaf theory lol
ButterToasties: This reminds me of the whole Pokémon go thing where everyone invaded peoples privacy over a game. Also I keep getting texts about Amazon and Robots? That’s not because of this, is it?
Nick Brockbank: Respect
A Guy on the Internet: Quick question. What is an arg? I feel like I’m completely in the dark on whatever that is referring to
Que Pasa2006: This is such a mature way of taking it and wanting to make it better
Shade of the universe: Sorry if this isn&#39;t relevant, but if you think about it the Afton family members embody some of the 7 deadly sins. William&#39;s sins are pride, gluttony, and greed. Elizabeth is envious of Charlie Emily in the Silver Eyes trilogy. Michael afton is wrathful. Mrs afton is possibly lust .Evan is possibly sloth.
UchihaJay: Respect +100
I still don’t have females in my life: This is the last thing I expected Matpat to haft to say.
Potato Cat: It feels weird with a black leather jacket and no punctuation in the title.
chocodono 21: This feels like mat-pat having to tell a strict lesson to a bunch of children
Starscout4u: 2 hours
Yamato Yazuyuki: Sorry.......but Mat a another thing you were at <b>Fault for</b> is ʜᴀᴠιɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ᴛʀᴜsᴛ ιɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴜɴιᴛʏ/ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ because honestly I&#39;m not really Surprised and was Even expecting it to happen......jυѕт ιт нappened ғaѕтer тнan ι тнoυgнт ιт woυld ( ̄~ ̄;)
sanna su: feels like being scolded by a dad, but I like it
D3AD3ND3D: who knew actions have consequences... lol
pabpab999999: I have a feeling that a handful of viewers will take this video as  <br><br>&quot;that&#39;s what they want us to think, we should dig EVEN deeper!&quot;
WiFi.2347: You forgot ARG&#39;s don&#39;t just pop up off hand in a book that was scrapped
bcfb21: Let’s not make dadpat have to go to college get a law degree and open the fourth channel legal theory. And try not to get into trouble.
Cillious: Beautifully put, he calls out who needs to be, but it doesn&#39;t feel deprecating. He provides the problem, then gives multiple solutions and guidelines. This is how you fix a problem. Take notes, YouTube.
Keali'i Cooper: Lmfao I’m glad I got to live to see the day matpat says “hey there my little fnafers! You’re not in trouble, but please stop doxxing, breaking and entering, violating privacy, and keep it down to Reddit and discord. Love you kiddos!”
UnusedWings: Matpat entering Dadpat mode and quickly nipping this in the bud. Huge respect for handling this quickly and efficiently.
Wren Darling: I really appreciate you getting on top of the issue and holding the fanbase responsible.
AceGrape: He is giving me major dad vibes. He&#39;s giving me  &quot;I&#39;m not mad, just disapointed&quot; vibes
King Explosion Murder: I did nothing but I feel guilty
Summer Rose: Mat&#39;s responsible dad energy is high. Big respect from me
Bladerbeast: Hi
BUMBZ 🎭: thanks matpat
Michael Merva: Before 100,000 likes
ReapZz: Dream take notes.
Fus Yo duh: So he didn’t take it down?
J10eff: Kudos for addressing this as soon as you can
Jeffrey Moir: Comment for interaction.
Digigamings: Geez things really got out of hand when ARG hunt was mentioned to be honest I didn’t think anyone would actually do it unless it was vividly clear that it was meant to be that kind of like that gravity Falls thing where they found a statue of bill cipher
2CDoll: The fact that he has to say most of this is sad.
A Stranger On The Internet: I swear, every word Matpat just said in this video came from the Heart.
MidMist Creations: Huge huge respect for this being dealt with so fast 👏
Giga Chad: Why do i feel like his child and I got in trouble at school
RepWasTaken: this feels like the teacher after the sub left a note<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>I AGREE WITH MATT WHOLE HEARTEDLY STOP NOW
Bryan Borjas: I’m commenting to boost this video. this is such a great way to cover a problem such as this and I love you and your team for taking not only the responsibility but also offering a solution. It says a lot about your professionalism and your character as a person
ElectroCat: This video feels like when the teacher gets the whole class together and starts with ‘in my 23 years of teaching I have NEVER…’
Exotic._.IceCr4m._YT Afton: Hi
Bingle McCringle: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=2m18s">2:18</a> you werent expecting this?<br>from the fnaf fanbase?<br>man if i could roll my eyes any harder- im not sure what but you get the idea
BreadBurg: Before I even watched the video I could immediately tell that Mat and his team really care about what comes out of their channels. Very honorable on their part.
kingdom of kings: Should also mention this if the arg requires you call a number 1. It&#39;s almost always automatic and 2. You can usually find it through the arg such as videos, or turning up the exposure on a image, or even on pieces of paper in the real world
Herman Singh: MatPat is the light side of the force.
VOID GAMES: Cool video mathew
professional dumbass: Oh oh, matpat did an oopsie
QW3RTY studios: I feel like this is matpat being a true internet father figure by apologizing for his kids mistakes. I personally didn’t do this, but we all apologize matpat!
Ducky: thank god it didn&#39;t really get too much out of hand. i was really starting to believe the speculations and stuff.<br><br> but out of topic, we&#39;re lucky to have matpat as the face of the theory community on YT. he addressed the problem and solved it. everyone doing &quot;apology videos&quot; that last for hours on end should take notes on this lmao, matpat is a great guy
pickledapplez E: this feels like the class is getting talked to by the teacher because they did something wrong
Mary Birch: Mad respect man
Random Warrior: Well said.
Under Fall: When a fan base goes way to deep into the ARG
L M: when worlds collide<br>you can run<br>but no can hide<br>*this got stuck in my head watching this but seriously this was important and a very well addressed video!
Lori Daume: Didn&#39;t the same thing happen like 5 years ago
Twxsy: Matt is literally my idol simply because of reasons like this…. Also, id recommend to add “the creators already have it planned, so if its obvious you shouldn’t do something, then don’t do it” just to sum it up
Jose Valverde: What&#39;s arg??
Joseph V: Like vid to signal boost
JordanTJM: This was an incredible apology that was clear, to the point, and well stated. Glad you set this straight
ImmuneFlyer60: This was a great theory!
Spencer Tenney: substitute left a bad note type beat
LV7 Pieromancer: <b>respectful claps</b>
ShadyShrimp: Woah, a real Youtube Apology Video
Sam O: I liked MatPat before, but this just raised my level of respect for him. Im so glad he addressed this as quickly as he did, and even came up with a guidelines list to help those who may not know any better. Kudos for sure!
Dealer's Choice: This reminds me of times where my school came up with a new fun device in school and it turned backwards on the first day and they have to set rules to turn it up right again.
Zinc Addict: Things I don&#39;t care for: FNAF &amp; ARGs<br>Things I enjoy: All 4 Theorists Channels<br>Things I absolutely love: MatPat couch speeches
bcfb21: Dadpat is serious. He’s got the black jacket on. But seriously, very frightening when you realize how much power you have over things just by saying some words.
__G3nd03sn0tcar3__: I-What is happening in the WORLD??
Sown- Laughter: should have since inscription had a real world ARG aspect.
Guntherson220: My respect for MatPat and the Theorist Crew has grown immensely with this video.
PopeOneGuy: I didn’t even watch the video and I feel like I should stop
HARDHITTER3707: Thank you for addressing this, the FNAF community has, once again, gone too far.<br><br><br><br>Seriously guys, stop
Idky: Calm, collected, and reasonable, yet still professional…<br><br>👍MatPat
Cactus: If only we could treat everyone even kids the way matt treats his viewers in this video. Laying out the rules if it has not been clearly told previously, even after mistakes were made.
Aaron Mejia: Ha wow
Comatoses: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#justiceforactman</a>
mileto: 1. Have common sense<br>2.<br>3.<br>4.<br>5.
Derpanator56: what a chad immediately not just apologizing but also saying what his fans can do better
Divine: Wow.
ThatGenericDude: You can definitely see MatPats dad skills here. Doing a great job Mat!
Marzicus: I like how the Gravity Falls Statue Hunt is interesting especially with this video because it was originally on someone&#39;s property, then moved into a tree where I think it rests to this day.
Hey me Wisconsin: Everyone who did that is very dumb.
Christian Williams: Kinda funny though not gonna lie.
YarnJ Plays: Can someone please clue me in I have no idea what he&#39;s apologizing for.
black flag archivist: lel. reddits.
sah T: Hi mat I am a huge fan of fime theor game theor ang food theor.
MoonStar: Ok👍And secondly maybe we should wait for the tails of the pizzapley books.
B&B Puppets and Props inc. [Ffounder]: I respect matpat in this moment, he addressed this perfectly and calmly
Fungus2.0: You seem like a parent who is trying to tell a kid off when they have no clue what went wrong<br><br><br>Is it troubling that that&#39;s funny to me?
windy valdez: Aight
Note: <b>Bonk*</b><br>stop
ShadyShrimp: Ayyy Niceeee
j.j.s podcast: He has a better apology video about him not even being cancelled, thats how you know he cares about everyone
slowly passing away: rules to follow in ARG hunt:<br>1. Never publish private info.<br>2. Stick to publicly available info.<br>3. Be safe in public. DO NOT trespass.<br>4. Do not call private businesses or individuals.<br>5. Find one central place online for ARG discussion.<br><br>Huge Respect to Matpat for addressing this issue and coming up with a solution immediately 👏👏
🦊ĞŁ1ŤCHFØxY- worker side ĢŁ1ŤcHŤŔ@P🦊: I knew this would come up on this channel if something like this would happen. However matpat I&#39;ve just been one of those individuals watching the video and now I feel I&#39;ve found the proper way too help you-, but in the respect of you saying this i WILL NOT post my theory online inorder too keep this channel and my channel safe! <br><br>Matpat always speaks the truth guys,please DO NOT doubt him. Matpat has always been honest! <br>Matpat my original idea is gonna stay in my head and I will get on to it after my school work. I just won&#39;t post it online,not that it has any private info on it I just want mine and your channel too stay safe. <br>Anyway,I will inform this on my channel to spread the message to anyone on my channel whos subscribed over here who has looked at that video,and you know what I&#39;m gonna put a link too this video on my gamejolt if you don&#39;t mind??? Cause it&#39;s getting the message out further.
wind: Props to Mat for covering this right away and being thorough with his explanation and solution, as usual
Lobox 138: smh
That guy with a Controller: I didn&#39;t call anyone one but on behave on every one sorry
Alanso Tigerheart: I feel a big part of the problem is the fnaf fan base consists largely of a younger audience. An audience I&#39;m certain don&#39;t take into consideration that real world businesses have nothing to do with made up content like ARG&#39;s. Most ARG content I&#39;ve personally looked into or watched videos for on channels like night mind have been geared towards a more adult audience. Weather that be because of the content within or where it was found but regardless, rarely have I encountered harassment intentional or not on this level. I&#39;m not saying younger kids shouldn&#39;t be in on the fun for the most part, but just try to use some common sense with things like this.
Faits: I feel like I just got yelled at by Mat
Zelda's Fox: This is why I respect MatPat a lot. He outright says, &quot;Hey, I&#39;m sorry. Please stop this. HERE IS A SOLUTION.&quot; This does make sense though since this is likely a lot of young zoomers, who sadly weren&#39;t taught a lot of etiquette to begin with, who made the calls. Is it their fault? No. The internet still doesn&#39;t have any publicly talked about etiquette. Mistakes happen and everyone makes them. There&#39;s no reason to cancel someone over a single mistake IF they make no effort to change. Just remember, change is hardly ever done cold turkey. I look forward to these ARG etiquette rules and hope that video/ guideline will be shared around. <br><br>Oh, speaking of, I would love to see MatPat cover geocashing. It&#39;s the oldest (that I know) ARG that&#39;s just writing your name.
Uno_Emperor 112: Me reading this understander able have a great day
Turtle2357: Weak guy how you gave in so soon
Krueger: Well done Game Theory Team!
I am a Person: can someone clip him saying &quot;To be absolutely crystal clear beyond a reasonable doubt: STOP.&quot;
GoldiePlayz z: It really nice just having someone addressing this or to spread awareness about this because I didn’t know about this and I’m sure plenty of others didn’t either
Commpisto: I like how matpat didnt just post a random obscure tweet and expected it to solve everything. He made a full video, and not only addressed the problem and respectfully told the arg hunters to stop, but also talked about how solving the problem.
United States of America: This vid better get trending<br>because it, and even some of it&#39;s comments, <b>contain very important information when it comes to </b><b><i>all</i></b><b> ARGs</b><br>Although I&#39;m not aware of <i>every</i> ARG that has ever existed, I have yet to see any end prematurely, and it&#39;d be a shame for one that was <b>scrapped</b> to begin with for an iconic franchise be the first
Gubby: Bro imagine calling up dominos in Utah being like &quot;yo do you got that fnaf game lore 🤓&quot;
lolkayleen: This feels like a disappointed parent to their kids 💀
Back To Pray: “If you’re calling for game lore, press 1<br>For all other inquiries, press 0 for the operator”
Icer: What an honest guy
Meme BEANS: Can you imagine working an office joba nd someone calls you about the fnaf lore
TheGameMaster: Great idea MatPat, thanks for the the boundaries. I know lots of businesses get bothered and annoyed when they get lots of spam
drkingdom5: That was quick
Dr_511: Nice haircut
Crash Bandicoot: ....maybe dont release so much FNAF content that it gets obsessive?
Vtewlaghe: Thank ye for addressing this as soon as possible, MatPat. Perhaps now, those folk that didn&#39;t think it through and pestered the folk at Utah would now have some common sense.
Samantha Behrndt: Could you also add a link to this video on the other video? I think it would also help spread the message spread
Slain: This goes to my saying that when you are wondering about someting(open world games/real life/etc), be careful and respectful about the surroundings cause you can tamper about something you didint know and be responsible to it, it will be very difficult.
Shape Shifter K: I just expected fans to ask some other fan-members if anyone could reasonably go to utah, such as being a local or someone buying a plane ticket, not mass online harassment in what I&#39;m fairly sure is a small town, we&#39;ve learned, I just didn&#39;t really expect such a large scale lack of communication (with each other, there were too many calls to businesses) again, learning, so now we know.
SPRINGY BOI: What a nontroversey. This wasn’t even Matts fault
Tyler Lynn: Commenting to feed the algorithm. This message needs to get out.
Alex Caplan: big oof
Muffin Chubby: Fnaf is less an ARG and more &#39;masquerade&#39;, a game with an answer so stupidly complicated no one will solve it.
Kakariko Kage: Hindsight is 20/20. Mistakes were made, but now we have guidelines going forward.
Dr. Simp: Responsibility, gotta respect Matpat.
Yarely: Noooooo
x2RedHawk: post this video on every single one of your social media accounts to spread the word
Omenvreer: Was the raid on area 51 in 2019 an ARG or just an RG?
Elyjah Cortes: What&#39;s us an ARG ?
Fadi Sahouri: Ello
declan dagod: God the amount of responsibility you show really amazes me. Comparing this to other creaters cough cough dream cough cough it just points out that you actually care
Plipplop Productions: I just find the idea of an ARG PSA from MatPat kind of adorable.
smile burger: I like how you didn&#39;t reveal anything about the book
Bork Kills One Leg Man: <b>BRO YOU STARTED IT!</b>
OJ: you sound like a disappointed father
the_rustydoornob: Dude u handled this in the best way possible, like fr man always stay responsible!
Plantor07: hey matpat you should check out retrogamingnow&#39;s minecraft lore videos
Henry Davis: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=0m00s">0:00</a> to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=10m16s">10:16</a> listen to this stuff
GODOFAWSOMENESS1: Great video.
Jœ: Another rule: do NOT follow anyone to any &quot;back rooms&quot; for lore. Especially in abandoned pizzerias.
Daniel Fletcher: I feel like MatPat in the video is always seconds away from screaming swear words
Ever_Sworn 4529: Sigh... Hanlon&#39;s razor at its finest; seems to be too frequent these days. You (MatPat) have WAAY to much faith in humanity to act responsible &amp; to have respectable human decency. Better make a bunch of scripts for different variations of incidents to come!
aquesada7182: You shouldn&#39;t have assumed that everyone would behave properly. That theory was a poor choice.
Thatgamerkid: I find it ironic that Mat told the internet to stop what doing what they do best
Félix!: He addressed it. Damn. Other YouTubers need to take notes.
Herb: I haven’t watched the original video yet but I’m very pleased with this response! Everything he said was absolutely correct and I’m proud of him being able to recognize these issues and respond to them quickly and logically!
Murun Dulbadrakh: this video feels like my dad explaining why i should respectful to the guests
VGhlIGJlYXN0IHNuaXBlciAxMjM0: Honestly dude, respect ✊
★ maplebee ★: Dude matpat you’re just such a respectable person it’s refreshing seeing this compared to WoE is mE anD mY LifE sucKs
gamey_badger790: tbh ive never done an arg before, mabey its because im always bussy doin other things like school
Crimson682 Hawk: Of course a few bad apples in GT community who will be trolls and antis to stir up some drama.
Grimjazz25: I was on board till he said be safe. I mean come on man, if the clue maybe is a nuclear reactor chamber you got to look in there. I&#39;m just saying, the sky the limit with ARG&#39;s and don&#39;t get me started with pokemon go hahaha
TheLegitPotato: Obligatory comment to boost the algorithm
Santa Clorita: Ok,sorry:(
Great White Flame: I didn&#39;t expect anything like this to happen at all. :S
Blaster man1129: Is it me or does matpat look like he&#39;s lost a lot of sleep from this problem
Nate: I apperciate you taking responsibility for your actions. You&#39;re a big influencer and that is a big responsibility. Hopefully youll do your best to avoid other incidents like this.
StarBeam: How on earth are you guys able to just call some domino&#39;s or something to ask about a totally unrelated topic? I would be hesitant to just order anything, much less embarrass myself by asking for the Freddy fazbear pizzeria nearby.
Za Bish: the reason why i think the &quot;arg&quot; didn&#39;t work... is... that theres was no actual arg. it wasnt even confirmed that there was fnaf arg. other args work because you know... they ARE args.
Kolbe Playz: Thank you for clarifying this stuff MatPat
Songal18: This is like all those years ago now who called up a Pizzaria to see if it was a Freddy Fazbear&#39;s in real life. Thank you MatPat for addressing this with this video and coming up with a safer solution.
Lixxie Licious: I think the big difference here is that these are FNAF fan kids, and that&#39;s a very different fanbase than Inscryption.
HollowKnight Fan: Well that was unexpected
SCP site 12: You know not throwing any shave here but just stop, please for love of all that is holy stop this nonsense
LizOST: I feel like the list would fit perfectly in a Voltron or Megazord meme.
Azra valencia: Damn, he really care for anything he made eh. Dude got my hats off and big respect.
Axel Harrison: This is why we respect you so much Mat,<br>Thank you for being honest and straight forward to us, and apologizing.<br>We love you and this will blow over.
Yurnit: Never knew mat pats fans were impressionable
videocommets: This is why No YouTuber did this type of stuff with their fanbase it&#39;s going to get out of hand you should have known better than to do this matt.
Cinema: CONTINUE!
Audrey: god i wish every youtuber was like matpat. i wanna be like him when i grow up. 11/10 thank you so much
KiraComments-CHCA: Yeah uh Mat, I feel like I&#39;m the only one in this uh what should it be called, the uh comment section, viewers, or subscribers? either way I feel like I&#39;m the only one who knows what you want but can&#39;t do it anyways ;-; Damn that&#39;s rough... Surrounded by nothing but a bunch of pranksters, jokesters, and idiots aren&#39;t we MatPat :( Not talking about the team ofc
Allen perfer: Number 1: he is Seriously mad and It literally feels as if my mom or dad is getting onto me Number 2: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=10m14s">10:14</a> in the video right before it cuts to black... The look of disappointment on his face
Cj vargas: Everbody check your country im checking mind
troy neenan: Kind of want a Carmen Sandiago game to do this.
ZNameless1: Yeah... this was bound to happen eventually.
Nerd’s Club productions: Thank you for letting us know what we were doing wrong and we are sorry and love you for getting this out as soon as possible
Josh Lindsay: Battletoads
Magnum leonard: I understand
Soraia: Me who lives too far away and is too lazy to do anything after seeing the first video: Yeah, go everybody, find things<br>Me after seeing this second video: Yeah, stop everybody
Mason Warner: Why can’t more YouTubers be responsible like mat
Magnum leonard: It&#39;s ok
Lilypool Cosplays!?: If only scott would give us some answers
Varad Mahashabde: Maybe being a parent makes you a better YouTuber at managing your community too
Modern Sonic: I was actually not even gonna take this fnaf arg seriously because I felt like this arg got discontinued or there wasn&#39;t an active progression on it. I thought everyone would see it like that but apparently some didn&#39;t.<br><br>I hope this never happen again cause I want args to be fun and not this problematic and controversial.
Lili Zhao: I forgot to say this, but what if fanf 3 could have the clues from the beginning?
Tanner is cool: Nice job matt
L4dsome 23: I’m sure it’s said enough on here man but lots of respect for you an what you do on YouTube. Virtual hand shake if it’s accepted
Noah Willeford: I just watch the video I never did any of things of the he sa saids.
Creative Minds: The reason I love Mat Pat/his channels is because it is human. there are times where mistakes happen and Mat Pat always handles it well and in a timely manner. <br><br>Also I didn&#39;t see the video (not into FNAF) in question, but did see a lot of twitter posts/comments about it.
Ecoryzer: beep boop I&#39;m a robot
Cc99X_YT: Reminds me back to when the GTARG related to a barbeque and foot rub place.
YellowCat027: beanos
sad hedgehog: thank you! as someone who&#39;s considering creating arg in the future, this is an extremely important part to remember, and research later — how to make sure arg is safe.
Vegeta: Reeeeeeeee
Highlights tape sports: Do subway surfers
Jetsabersauce: POV : your a legend
What’s 9+10?: Matpat is the best YouTube cause he always immediately sees his problems in the last videos. And either address the problems in the next video or make a video saying what was wrong and what not to do. He is a true chad.
Shopnil4: I really love how quickly you made a response, addressed everything, and even stated that this video is a bit rushed cause you wanted to get the message out right away.
Verdidine Schadenfraude: You know it’s serious when the corners are dark. Seriously though, he got a point.
metalsonic teen: 🙏🏽
Jessie Bell: If I were there I would get every single person who made a game that you made a theory on call them over and answer all your questions and try and make you feel better Matt Pat I’ve been subscribed to you for about five years you have never doubted me thank you.
Rainbow Ranger: Wow some fast backlash didn&#39;t even know they took down the video

Dr_RTH: Finally... A true genuine YouTuber apology
Javzio Valdez: Woah honestly I haven’t been watching this channel as much,  but I love coming back to see Mat is still a great guy that knows when to address a situation before it gets out of hand, sometimes fan bases can get hectic.
Jennifer Berning: Waiting for a splatoon lore theory day 3
TheMusicMan: Great on you for addressing a situation like this as soon as you had! It shows how mature you are and how quick you are to notice humanly mistakes, whether they’re malicious or benign!
The Person who asked: I respect the fact he is sweaty, it&#39;s like a genuine, unprepared (not in a bad way), and unfiltered apology and disclaimer
Ashy_Bashie2.0: I think i found something in the books, in some of the glitched letters there are small ones hidden, atleast in the first two books.Maybe it makes a sentence that gives another clue

Ishizu Ishtar: Better Than dream&#39;s and Travis Scott apology
Beezin: they should make a theory about a game called risk of rain 2, it is a third person shooter that is multiplayer and single player that has unlockable characters called survivors from the first game in the series that have backstories and lore about the mysterious planet the game takes place on and enemies with backstories and secret endings with unsolved questions and unsolved character origins as well as the final bosses of the game like mithrix the voidling and the four bosses of the the moment, whole, the twisted scavengers
hastypastry: I think if the creator wanted us to know, he’d tell us.
JOSHUA ASSA: BRO WE NEEd more merge masion new ads bro like Ads
GumboFumbo: But mat what if I wanna go to an abandoned pizzaria and spring lock myself
Julie Lovell: Could you maybe be able to make a new fort nite theory there is so much new stuff and secrets here and there that I think would make a great new game theory pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaassseee???
Kakyoin Noriaki.: im so glad you addressed this mat, i really think you did an awesome job.
ٴ: thx now i can finally play minecraft again
Bearforce: You&#39;re going to have to rename this video (maybe even trim it) prior to your next ARG hunt.  I feel like this video will be burried with its current title after this event has passed.  Otherwise, i just want to say i love your videos Matt Pat and know that none of this could have been predicted and that this is not something that you could have reasonably prevented from happening someday (especially with how popular ARGs have become)
Neal Hammersmith: Your going to need a disclaimer at the beginning of your videos from now on.
Kona's Kingdom: Hadn’t even thought of this happening, props to you for calling this out as soon as possible, I think setting out some ground rules for args is essential for community safety

david blaine: LiFeISlikeAvedi0gAme
Elle: lol take notes clay
Reyauthentic: Why not make it in another video about   the Etiquette of ARG.
The Melon Man Assassin: “Hello thanks for calling subway how can I help you?” <br>“Ummmm…. Do you know who caused the bite of 87 for a yt video?”
Ouija49: Kinda sad you had to make this video. As someone who was friends with Ronnie I&#39;m a bit disappointed it had to come to this. Hopefully it levels out and there isn&#39;t anyone affected by it.
Chaos Cat: As someone who has been in the ARG scene for a while (and even interacted in one!) it genuinely makes me happy that you are laying out guidelines and rules for your community. Even if to someone like me they are obvious, it still means a great deal to have a video and a source to send to newbies on the etiquette of participating in these games. Thank you, MatPat!
Odysseore: Thank you for addressing this problem
vince_IsMyUser: I love how they still had some editing for a Short video they need to release quickly
Brendan Charcoal: I love how MatPat apologizes when he makes a mistake
Alastair old account: I didn’t know that existed before but it explains the misunderstanding with one of my old comments… My initials are ARG and the comment literally just that. I guess the person was mad because of the ARG hunt? I can’t blame them though. To find the question that led to my initials as an answer was buried in 400+ comments
Boopers: mad respect for addressing the issue so quickly.
Logan Latios: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=2m57s">2:57</a><br>when your 6 years old and you do something wrong and your mom is apologizing to the other person:
TiagoTiago: Just dropping an offering to the algorithm gods
Ays a: Is it off or is it on
Jonathan Villa: r/ARGProtocols?
Kay Nines: I knew he would make this video
Jax Boler: So much respect for MatPat and Team Theorist. This is how to handle an issue responsibly. Thank you for helping your viewers stay safe and respectful.
Venesio: why are so many bots on the comments
Turtle: Why isn&#39;t he crying in ASMR for 40 minutes like all the other apology videos?
Anon Anon: I also want to point out to the idiots who harrassed said actual places....<br><br><b>what makes you think Matt&#39;s team didn&#39;t do it or you know.... think just alittle bit to realize why they didn&#39;t call..</b>
☀︎ 𝔾𝕣𝕖𝕘𝕠𝕣𝕪 ☀︎: Hey you probably won’t see this but I have a poppy theory :D I think that the claw that took mommy is Daisy my reason for it is because Daisys arm on the statue in the office looks similar to the claw but 1006 is very smart so they could of added things to the hand also why would there be A statue of Daisy in the office if we never saw the. In the game hm? We never saw one of candy cat or cat be to so that’s my theory ok bye :D
knatspray: Mat, like others have said, you handle these issues very well. You always have quick responses and very thorough explanations of what’s going on. Huge respect as always.
Mcfly in FNaF: This doesn&#39;t mean we should stop the FNaF ARG. we should just Follow Matt&#39;s rules and be safe!
Shadow Raven: Dang, Matt Pat has better ethics in ARGs then Taylor Lorenz has in journalism.
david bean: I see what happened and I really don&#39;t think matpat did anything wrong in the initial vid. It&#39;s the internet going crazy and folks getting caught up doing things they shouldn&#39;t. And mad respect to Matpat getting out in front early talking folks to cool it. He seems super legit and caring about these little shops getting harassed.
lelgamers: As someone who had been historically blinds to some morals or rules. I love seeing videos like this that isnt yelling at us or tearing us down but sitting us down and explaining why it is wrong
panda somewhere: i feel like im getting yelled at bye a teacher even though i did nothing
Jack Popp: We need a subreddit or something, so everyone knows what everyone has found and done, to avoid this kind of thing in the future with this ARG if we want to still solve it, and with ARGs in the future. Maybe a discord server that you have to read the rules before you can interact with the rest of the server so new theorists to them know the rules for future ARGs without Mat having to explain it again.
Out The Window: Here&#39;s to hoping the Streisand effect does happen.
Elly Hovde: I love this man. I never even know what issue he’s addressing but his apologies are beautiful
·Sleepy Alien·: Be in the group! Never go to places alone to stay safe!
Silver Prince: Matt it&#39;s not your fault that idiots on the internet decide to do something dumb

Yordi Pacheco: What was everyone doing???
You: okay idk sir but im a fannn
sgtStr3am: This is one of those hindsight moments. Truly no blame on Matt. He put it well enough things just got outta hand.
Oldie Goldie: Commenting so the algorithm gets this across to as many theorists
Eclipsee: How can you not love MatPat he is such a thoughtful and responsible person my utmost respect for you and your channel for handling this responsibly carefully and professionally. You are honestly a huge role model and stuff like this strongly reinforces that
S4PG Official: ChadPat
Anbuscus: Enjoy your flight
Logan Latios: ok, i wasnt even doing it anyways.
kwahoo: I&#39;m sorry for being super critical, but this episode gave off some Tucker Carlson vibes. You kept asking a hypothetical question (Is there a FNAF arg?) then providing &quot;evidence&quot; that guided the viewer to &quot;yes&quot; as the answer. I hope you and your crew are looking internally at your own policies. You are both a journalist and a fairly large content producer where you need to confirm facts before you release something like this. If you can&#39;t get a hard &quot;Yes, there is an arg&quot; from the creators of that arg, you should not be releasing a video like that. <br>I know you are trying to create some community guide lines with this video, but it kinda feels like you are trying to shift what blame you have off of yourself on this one. What are you doing to ensure the integrity and accuracy of your content?
William Marshall: I love matpats dad talk. Makes me think I have one
it's a prize: JUST DON&#39;T CALL OUT ANY ONE
RemixedYoshi: Anyone remember the battletoads calling meme?
Alex Haney: Have you heard the I love bees ARG?
WakkaSeta: Matpat overvalues his influece. If not him, someone else would&#39;ve accidentally set this off, and gamers/online fandom members these days often lack the tact and social skills to function properly in the real world anyways.
Fernando monge: Fnaf is real doday
ImPlash: Mat pat explains morals to a bunch of dopes
Gaming Dumplings: Wow never thought that video would lead to smth like this, it’s great that u were able to address this quickly and hope this won’t happen in the future
Raven_VII: that was fast.
Hodos Chan: Matpat is the most responsible content creator, no cap
best girl: you should read a fanfiction about you
Pizofsoda: So, don&#39;t call anyone or do anything dangerous or against the law, right?<br>That&#39;s what I got but I still won&#39;t do the arg because I don&#39;t want to
Mystical Knight: Nah man it is pretty funny
Nozomi Ritter: I myself have not seen the video that this one is in response to. But I would like to take a moment and Thank you Matt Pat for being one of the most responsible YouTubers I have ever seen!❤

Farid Febrianto: Ohh boyy something gone wrong in form of solving mystery on a video game lol
Wolf Express: Feels like talking to the principal
procrastinator brad: you can really tell mattpat rushed this out a the last minute rather than waiting for more damage to be caused. the tired look in his eyes, disheveled appearance, his tone of voice. props to him for putting this out here as soon as possible.
Overseer99: Wow being fast with upload
it's a prize: I have mixed feelings about this I was not doing it though

Weeks: Bro I wanna know how those phone conversations went 😭<br><br>Sam’s Pizza: “What can I get you to eat?”<br>Caller: “Have you seen a shark animatronic recently?”
Applelemonade: Mat pat is the only content creator that actually sounds sincere when giving an apology. Amazing job Mat.
Jobama: I do have a rule to add: if a piece of evidence is on some sort of private property, or even on public property, ask if you can go first. If they say no, turn and go. If they say yes, go nuts! (as long as it’s within reason)
Mr. Chris Master: Yeah FNAF just needs to die I&#39;m sorry
T Mo: You handled this like a professional mad respect.
The Pale King: you remind me of my former orchestra teacher
l3LACKMASK713: Certified bruh moment
Frost Freerunning: you know whats weird playing pizzareia simulator again I noticed when you are sewed by one of the children for your store for negligence it says city of UTAH so that&#39;s the only thing I found like this so maybe matt pat can see
Sadistic_!!: <b>i feel like i’m being told off by my parents</b>
Benjamin Matthew: Great response Matt!
InfernoGaming: this feels like when the sub tells the teacher that your class didnt behave well. I want to be clear I didnt do anything like that but I just wanted to point that out cause it has the same vibe lol
Some Guy: yooo, is this youtube&#39;s first well-done apology video?
Thamer Al Lami: Now this........ is how you make a real apology video
Taylor G: I’m way too early lol
Razz Kiran Raven [BWC]: @matpat I have a 6.<br>:Do not call up and bug the creators of said ARG for hints or hand-outs. <br>It makes it not fun for them and I&#39;d consider cheating. <br><br>The Creator of the Alpha ver Minecraft arg completely sadly dropped out from it.
KingRXIeevee: This one catch me off guard thanks mattpat keep up the great work and that’s just a theory a game theory
Bento: Praise God
Tekaruki: Matpat: stop hu-<br>Fans: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>(for legal reasons this is a joke)
Oteris: ARGs are bad. Stop doing them. Stop covering them. Just Stop.
Fang: Oof
ThatWaterRiver: well spoken<br>you didnt do much wrong- this is pretty unexpected and I dont think anyone should blame you for this
Social Media: Talk about owning upto your mistakes and creating solutions to prevent them in the future. Matpat you&#39;re really an inspiration to us all.
Jade Theorist: Let&#39;s appreciate ALL that MatPat does!!!❤
WillowFlow: Dude.. the jacket.<br>I friggin love it!!
Lex: Wow... how surprising
TimeToDookie: its a cancelled book why would there be a real arg

big_joe: Bruh
GooseStuff: If I get a &quot;Finally it&#39;s here&quot; Comment, I&#39;m just gonna explain why Koichi from jojo bizarre adventures is the son of Raiden from Metal Geal series
On-StandBi: I love how Matt immediately responds to a problem, and sincerely apologizes for it. It’s rare to see that nowadays
purplefred Y 44: Technically wouldn&#39;t evil matpat be patmat
Iron gamer: Ok… but how about that new minecraft update and that new creepy disk?
joe smith: Thank you MatPat for being a fantastic example to other content creators for dealing with unforeseen consequences like an adult. There is a reason you have done nothing but grow for more then a decade, we as a community love ya!
🦈Sharkie Stims🦈: I respect the hell out of this. This is why I’m proud to have grown up on this channel. This was handled fast and respectfully.
DhamCaleb 86: Kids on this channel is stup
Anakin skywalker: 1 man 1 couch?
KaosNoKamisama: You know what... I&#39;ve had it with mfing fnaf..... one thing is liking a game, another thing is this.
Athithan: Why does this sound like a copy paste charity speech?
kanye west  ♪: i feel like im being scolded by my dad but he&#39;s sugarcoating it
Veronica_is_here: Thanks Matpat :&gt;
24jbi: OMG LOL WHY DID THEY DO THAT
Roy Rose: When your respectfully told to grow tf up
Digital Clown: It&#39;s sad that Matt has to apologize on behalf of some inconsiderate fans. He is kind of directing MORE blame onto himself on behalf of his fan base.<br><br>He clearly never asked anyone to do anything that they ended up doing.
NutmegBGB: Dadpat isn&#39;t mad, he&#39;s just disappointed
Someone :]: Fedy arg
Gacha~Cherrie Masu-Quie: I am suddenly glad that I didn&#39;t dig far into clues.<br>I found a few resurant numbers, But I didn&#39;t call.<br>I&#39;m so glad I didn&#39;t.
TheOniRai: Matt and team I appreciate the quick and respectful response to this situation and I hope this video spreads like wildfire.  I comment hoping it helps the algorithm.
marianna dagostini: You tell them Matt
Pug: 👏👏👏
Feashis: Ah yes, your average human trying to find lore so that they can be in a GT video or be mentioned by Mat. You gotta love ‘em
Ramennmann: honestly thank you so much for actually outlining the rules of an arg ,, i’ve been so interested in them for ages but never really understood /what/ it entailed in the real world &amp; in general but knowing the general rules of it makes it make so much more sense
CrypticCrustacean: make stupid theories win stupid prizes
Scarlet Gaming Studio: I was scared that this was going to be about someone dying but I know this is still bad but relieved it isn’t what I worried about
Basement Dweller: But the point of the video was to prove that there was a cancelled ARG. No one plans to look around in real life of it was cancelled.
Kal Skirata: This is why kids should be restricted to having their personal devices at home<br><br><br>Yknow, where their parents can actually fulfill their roles as parents by being responsible for their own kids and their actions.<br><br>But I guess this is way too oppressive to the laughably underdeveloped human brain...<br>Lament for the death of reasonable corporeal punishments...
Leo Martinez: I&#39;m kinda surprised this never happened to a ARG before.
Carrot God: There should be another rule to not destroy public or private property trying to find a secret or hidden clue
Abbeh Ramen: Sorry Matt ( I didn&#39;t even call anyone on this XD )
TheOnlyPolly: Look at his ear, he just woke up and put this together in a few minutes. Where&#39;s the quality in that?
Scz3945: As someone who was involved in an ARG last year. I can not say this enough. DO NOT click random links on public forums like YouTube, and Reddit. It can lead to the potential of getting yourself hacked, phished or may lead to you getting a computer virus.
Vat Worm Industries: well, this is what happens what you target a younger audience
Warpare: Sadly Expected This.
Viphy: It’s just sad that it has to end up like this...
Crazy Boy: It&#39;s not your fault
Haroldo Milian: &lt;3
RandomGachaWithVicky: I have a feeling somebody is going to make some funny post on social media with a photo of a person punching another person (their friend) with a caption “I found FNaF lore by punching this guy! He leaked knowledge!” As a joke 😂
Silver VR: Since when did you do fnaf
OxyMoron: I really like how straightforward you addressed this; the fact that you got straight to the point and then to the solution is both better to listen to and honestly something youtubers should do more for these kinds of videos lol
Exalted Pancake: Matpat is kind of like my dad apologizing to a stranger for something 5yo me did almost a decade ago
Xero: Honestly, one of the biggest jumping points would be Geo Caching because that&#39;s kind of the original ARG searching concept. I don&#39;t have all that material as t the ready for this, but I think some research into that hobby would be a great place to start!
hysiqueer: I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever seen such sincerity come through. Youtube apologies are just generally bad but when Matpat apologizes you know it;s genuine because the solutions he provides moving forward are legitimate and applicable.
Alexander Oregon: the game is not finished but dose have secret lore
Leo Monzo: Lol. You have an army dude. It’s gonna be alright . Everything will be alright. :)
Modest_enigma: Bruh idk what ARG are🤷🏻‍♂️
Koi_Bee: Hey, glad you adressed this! Maybe adress the other mountain of shitty things you&#39;ve done!<br><br>Don&#39;t get me wrong, it&#39;s amazing that you did apologize, but please, for the love of god, adress your ableism and transphobia!! While yes, those things happened a bit ago, its still really odd that you haven&#39;t adressed it at all.
danely !!: tbh his fans (the ppl that called the buisnesess) should be the ones apoligizing, to him and the buisness its self.  its sad to see that he (mat) needs to apoligize for everyone
Digital Clown: This isn&#39;t a problem specific to Mat. This has happened a lot before. I mean, hell... The lady who lived in the breaking bad house is a VERY angry lady. I would be too if you were always being watched because of the house you live in.
link master 199: 0_0 oh wow this happened so fast.  its crazy how crazy it got so quickly.
Zakk Garcia: Its at: #-56-###-7###
MoreHay: Luv the video MatPat this is why we luv your videos.
EarthHero700: This is why I respect this guy, he is always upfront and honest
The Speedy Green: Thank you for telling me about the new fnaf video, imma watch it now
SkyBlew: A FNAF ARG would of been the <b>COOLEST</b> thing to happen to the community 😞 I still hope something is found... Of course not going to businesses &amp; calling places, I&#39;m talking about some hidden lore stuff in the coloring/drawing books etc. <b>I truly feel there&#39;s something there that Scott wants us to find...</b>
Gl1tchStudios: How could you not see this coming?
Mr ChiefLoud: Ha ha ha. Do not stop telemarketers do it.
Sunnyspinach: Thank you for this, Mat
TRONICS: Thank you for making this
JZYdrawings: Half a million already huh? Let’s hope that number goes up
Celtic Melody: Dang I&#39;m so sorry about what&#39;s going on mattpatt, I&#39;m literally only here to watch your videos and hear your theories so hearing you talk about your fans being inappropriate with a series I believe you love makes me sad because I love this series as well and I love hearing you talk about it
PileOfCats: And this is why we can’t have nice things 😔
useless: this reminds me of that guy who got hundreds of thousands of calls because his number was on the squid game card.
Iroh Love: I&#39;m gonna give the businesses that I have called about this a gift of apology.
ZUnknownFox: Tbh I never understood ARG&#39;s and never got involved in them.
Kentama: FNAF puts the &quot;fan&quot; in &quot;fanatic&quot;.
Mr cheese and feathers: Can’t tell you how much I love this vid, you are super respectful and AWESOME
Dayra Garcia: Shout out from Sharyland High School
Cloudy_Skies:1: Honestly if he&#39;s sitting on the couch u know he&#39;s serious
A_Goopie_Person_Guy_Thing: just a quick comment to get this video more liked by the algorithm
ItzzzzYor_Boi_StaticTV🔥🍄: So fast
mr scrumble was beaten to death by Blarf: One of the main reasons why Matpat has become a staple of the Youtube community and is never in any real drama is because of his extreme maturity, responsibility, and honesty. He always handles situations to get the problem solved and make amends to anyone that was affected if possible, not just to save his reputation so he can continue doing whatever he wants. He has never abused his position of power and influence; he consistently uses it to benefit others as much as possible while he and his team make great high-quality content. Mistakes are inevitable but he always fixes them in a mature and efficient way. Thank you Matpat and your team for being so amazing :]
hpshakez: ok
Bethany Sanchez: I absolutely love how Matt took “responsibility” for his community. It’s great!
SadCBJfan: Great response Mat, this is the way a creator should talk to their community and take responsibility even when it isn’t that certain creators fault
Xx_K1lL3R_BuNn1_xX: tbh, this isn&#39;t Mat&#39;s fault, NEVER in the video was he like &quot;HEY! Go and call up random businesses, asking about FNAF LORE&quot; or anything like that, it was everyone else that went way, WAY TO FAR.
trexpaddock: Apparently Matt Patt never heard of Pokemon Go . . .
CowaBorange: Man called Dominoes &quot;Delicious Pizza&quot; ???
Yeet Feet: I don&#39;t understand what happened, can someone help and explain to my walnut brain?
Ruby Rubio: Do a theory for the Sony Spider-Man universe most specifically the mid credit of venom 2 and morbius plus the future of the franchise
Unown human: Something similar happened with the first ghost busters movie with the actor who played Walter Peck. then the phone number on Ecto 1 sign board during the epic song.
Lito Reyes: you should make a book theory, this is a joke
Fleshy Ferret: I&#39;m glad that this apology was so well done. I agree that ARGs should be fun <b>AND</b> safe, and it needed to be explained what we should consider safe.
Pasalasaga: For me this will be always the Five Nights at Freddy&#39;s story and lore:<br><br><b>First Night:</b><br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s<br><br><b>Second Night:</b><br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s 2<br><br><b>Third Night:</b><br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s 3<br><br><b>Fourth Night:</b><br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s 4: The Final Chapter <br><br><b>Fifth Night:</b><br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location<br><br><b>Sixth Night (with more lore):</b><br>• Freddy Fazbear&#39;s Pizzeria Simulator<br><br><b>7th Night - Custom Night:</b><br>• Ultimate Custom Night<br><br><b>Minigame:</b><br>• Fnaf World<br><br><b>VHS Tapes by Squimpus McGrimpus</b><br>• FNaF tapes playlist<br><br><b>Chronological order:</b><br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 (1983)<br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (1987)<br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s (1993)<br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location (1995)<br>• Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 (2023)<br>• Freddy Fazbear&#39;s Pizzeria Simulator (2023)<br>• Ultimate Custom Night (Limbo)
Stone Lefty: What is an arg?
themperor_yasin: based matpat
Alex Mercer: thank God I did not do this
jarethttorney: Thank you for addressing this so quickly and on such short notice.
J Neff: Mat Pat - &quot;Stop the FNAF ARG hunt&quot;<br>FNAF fans - &quot;No&quot;
xtinyanqeliix: And this is why I love you 💕
Tayla Ware: Respect for Matpat 👇
misti s: matpat is so amazing for this reason. he immediately takes an issue head on.
Seabass A.M.: 10/10 apology video. Also, OMG PART OF ME ISN&#39;T SURPRISED BUT DAMNZZZ
Me King: I&#39;m sorry :(
Skyler Dowell: He ended the video with the words, &quot;Stay Curious&quot; which is what Dominic Monaghan signed off with on his nature show, Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan. Dominic was also Charlie on LOST who famously warned us that it&#39;s, &quot;Not Penny&#39;s Boat.&quot; The episode that revealed it wasn&#39;t Penny&#39;s boat was called &quot;The Beginning of the End.&quot; The Beginning of the End was also the name of a movie from 1957 directed by Bert I Gordon. Bert I Gordon is an anagram for &quot;ringed robot.&quot; Ringed is another way of saying married and in FNAF the only married animatronic that we know of is Bellora, being the vessel that holds the spirit of William Afton&#39;s wife. Bellora is the key to all of it. She was last seen at the Dark Circus, but what if MatPat is dropping subtle hints that she is still out there somewhere. That your character in Special Delivery is keeping her somewhere. I believe she is held in a real world location. Abiding by the rules laid down by MatPat here, I think together we can find her.
Roland Jhon Doliente: Haha such insane happen
Trev Pavey: Isn&#39;t this like the 5th &quot;I am sorry&quot; or &quot;I was wrong&quot; videos
Yamato: Whenever there’s going to be a big arg and we need rules this is what we are going to point to for those rules
Daniel Porras: When you accidently realize your voice has power and accidently invade a small nation. Then have to clean up the mess... this.... this video
Ciris989 !: You know I really wanted to listen to what he was saying but I could stop looking at that stray part of hair sticking out.
POV: That is why I don&#39;t go too far when doing arg hunting my friends
scoopDwoop: our boy finally got his dad beard

Cyril: Felix*:/
SkyCreeper01: I’m very proud of you for addressing this situation. Yes, it was irresponsible of you to send your community on a hunt about an ARG that may not be true but I’m thankful that you realized what went wrong and you even went out of your way to establish some guidelines. Excellent work.
AqueousMink: Thank you MattPat for putting this out as quick as you did!
Shadow_YT: E
J-Leaf: ......okay
Alphyy: Scott looking at this like thank God I didn&#39;t have to step in 😭
WhAt ThE hEcK uNnIe~: If you are doing the arg, be careful and stay safe. Please be respectful to any organization or a person that you think is a part of the clue. Dont trespass into areas that are prohibited. Be aware of your surroundings. Even if it is fun to look for clues safety comes first.<br><br>Edit: i didn&#39;t expect this many likes 😳 but thank you so much!!!!
Orion King: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeforActman</a>
Protomorfid: All of the videos with serious talks on the couch are why I have such mad respect for MatPat and the rest of the team. Most other content creators would either escalate it for views or just pretend it&#39;s not happening unless legally demanded to make a statement. Have been a fan since the Mario is Mental days, and always will be.
Cyril: I just finished watching Felip the shark :P
Hav1n: This is literally the best ive ever seen somebody address something and apologize for it
CDE: There is no ARG
Noa: Based
Metal mike: What is an arg?
StormStare: Uh oh serious matt :(
u140550: I love this psa, and glad he said that. I hope the businesses are ok.
AlleyCryptid: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=1m30s">1:30</a> he actually starts
Sans Kusanagi: Of course.. i must dig into this grave... Fazbear it can&#39;t possibly be a real grave with a name like that. IT&#39;S A CLUE!!
Just a rock: While it is just an arg you should give credit to the person that figured out a clue
Gjayfunkyfresh: Welp, that was quick
PleaseDontWatchThese: ARGs should require only passive observation without needing active communication though phone, email or anything else that requires another persons attention.

NerdMachine: Gigachad MatPat. Genuine oopsie, quick to fix
Bubble gum boiZ: Be my freind
Scottsman1205: Yeah I kind of figured this would be a Modern day &quot;It&#39;s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World&quot; situation with less clues
random boi: nice jacket
cameron sanders: thank you mat pat I have respect for you
Mocha Latte: What happened to never talking about fnaf again? Maybe you’ll finally give up this series now, I literally went from child to teen and now adult and you’re still on this downhill franchise
Orc Savage: wait what happened??
Carl Larson: I have a rule6 do not damage anybody solving this do not hurt anybody do not especially murder anybody that is my rule6
archive: if only dream was mature enough to address his audience abt doxxing this way
Dr Squirrel: Now side not credit to razzboski he figured out virtual dining options has gotten the right to franchise Freddy fazbear delivery so while you can’t go to Freddy fazbears soon his pizza will come straight to you
Anon_y_mous: Dadpat here to fix the no no
Blue Arrow: Yeah had a feeling something like this would happen when I saw this video
Patrick Allen: How about you stop posting fnaf content you&#39;ve literally milked this beyond comprehension.
Sydney Plante: Very great points. Though my bigger concern is biting of an adventure more than someone can chew. If someone thinks there is a statue in the middle of the woods and tries to hike out with no plan, gear, or experience I&#39;m worried for them and the local law enforcement. I&#39;m worried some may take the exploration too far. To tie in with Matt&#39;s be safe, be smart.
TimeStopReversal: Thank you for talking to us MattPat! 😁👍
Imprudentdev: Called it, knew this would happen within an hour after watching that theory video
T3c9: another rule?: do not do anything illegal to try and solve the arg
RegJoe47: Based Dadpat
No Skill: Im never this early for a theory so um e
Raha TofighPirouz: Imagine being so dumb you make MatPat apologize for something he did not ask you to do ://
Lauren Dearnley: I appreciate MatPat coming out and saying this and taking responsibility... but what were you expecting to happen?
Autumn Fox: You guys brought out DadPat... Now you&#39;re grounded. tsk tsk tsk
M3ŇØ: Whats ARG? What does it stand for?
Shwelpz Justice: This is the fastest you responded to most of the bs that hits your way. Respect...
MR TOAST🍞: FNAF

Masaiyn Francois: 👋👏👋👏👋👏👋👏👋👏👋👏👋

degrassigirl432: Thank you for addressing these issues.
Phantom Soul: I got a severe thunderstorm warning and the other notification said it will be partly cloudy prbably dont care but now this is out here
Canelita Facha: I&#39;m sorry DadPat, It won&#39;t happen again.
meow: Thank you for having written rules, as an autistic person the nuance of unwritten rules become confusion
Deleted Universe: I’m glad matpat is addressing this because it’s NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO HARASS ANYONE I know you guys who did that meant well but just don’t plz dont
Blue Hat Guy: Yesterday, a family member was telling me that they were getting a lot of weird calls from random numbers. They screened the calls as unknown, and I didn&#39;t really think much of it. Now I can&#39;t help but wonder.
Kikin42: still didn&#39;t cover the whole supporting autisum speaks, and if they still do.

Manpreet Singh: You are the most humble youtube creator who respects things like a real human being and authenticity. You are an exception but dont think you are, or you might not say the same great person. Love you my man! :)
Om Fals: It&#39;s been 3 days what did you guys do-
ye: E
Untold Dead: Honestly the more popular ARGs get the more crazy and extreme the ARG creators will get and more the more problems will happen.
Bloody X 86: Imagine working at a water park and being asked about robot sharks
Monster_ Cages: Superb MatPat! Very valuable video!
clipzzz: The fact he had to make this video- you guys go too far with these types of things I swear.
Fox-Miles , Savior of Foxes: Oh my God it was real!?
LitlClutch: Maybe its just me but the audio of this video is kinda garbage... Mat is hard to hear, I had to crank the volume to hear him and it still sounded muted/muffled. <br><br>Props to Matpat for the apology and taking credit for his mistake, it has to be easy to forget the reach of a 15.9 MILLION audience and how easily response could grow out of hand.
Shark_toofs1: Mattpat is right
Psychadelic_Enigma: Dear Matpat, I think you&#39;re wrong about The End in Minecraft. The fact that the End Portal frame is obviously constructed with endtone on the under side, and the fact that ender eyes and ender crystals are crafted with substances non-native to The End, leads me to believe that The End was artificially made by the Old Builders. Please do a Minecraft theory on this. (i have more evidence upon request)
Brandon Estrada: Matt the type of guy to take his son to the couch put on his leather jacket and give him a lesson
Erik Andrade: stop
ALUMINOS: if dream stans did this dream woulda been like: &quot;not my fault this happened&quot;
bizzare07: I didnt do anything why r u mad
Hunter Mason: My man be rockin the leather jacket tho
Howler Dragoon: I agree with Mattpat, protocol is important.<br><br>Edit: also nice hair Mattpat.
max: incredibly unfortunate that this situation happened, but i think it&#39;s an important conversation to have nonetheless and a lesson learnt! as always, mad props to matt for being so responsible and timely.<br>one rule i&#39;d like to add: take a trusted person with you before going to any location you speculate could be related to an arg! whether it be as public as the middle of a plaza or as remote as the middle of the woods, just have someone with you. you can never be too safe. a non-lethal weapon for defense, like pepper spray or a taser, are nice to carry on you in general.
TheJshox: Props to MatPat for prioritizing making this video and upfront adressing the problem. He&#39;s completely right, the solution is in being direct about rules and guidelines from this point on. It&#39;s not just about pointing out what went wrong, but more importantly what is going to change to prevent further incidents.
ShinyRust: (:

SilverBlossom: this was such a great thing to do, the fact that he wanted to get this video out ASAP alone shows how much he cares, i really hope ppl learn from this and i feel bad for the ppl who got harassed, i hope they are all ok :(
Nightfox4781: Ur lucky ;-; you can get 66k likes in 1 hour... Also sorry I&#39;m so late... Not that anyone would see this comment or know I exist but still
Christopher Shipley: When you make a PR video because you have to make it appear you are removing yourself for legality sake for making a video telling your fan to do something.
Diego Lara: Don&#39;t stop the fnaf hunt Matpat keep going you will solve it one day

Owen Conner: Hmmmm
Un Kirby Josuke: ...what just happened, y&#39;all are not on sync like before, WHY WOULD YOU CALL A REAL PHONE?!
SirShaunIV: Most YouTube apologies are hollow recitals, but you can tell that MatPat is genuine by the fact that he&#39;s making effort to prevent this from happening again. Kudos.

NinjagoLover2011: Matt Pat: <b>concerned dad mode</b>
Gasujuhusg: No I’m gonna do it

Operation Turtle: also a big bad of the books to be directly referencing any real life locations as in businesses. that are private businesses. it is just not right. the fanbase is too young to know better or to know boundaries.
Mark Adlere Torculas: I know how lore is important and looking this information, this is too much and I agree with our boy Mat, this has stop...

Atomic118: Can somebody tell me what is ARG?
Nacho Nathan: Saw I’m trending for this and was hoping he would address it. This man is a Chad for actually taking action
charlesFN: mad respect my guy
weeabootrash 7: I hate that this video had to be made. At least he set out to fix it as quickly as humanly possible, and and not only accept fault and apologize, but explain for the future what not to do, no matter how much those things may be common sense.
Mike H: It&#39;s always scary seeing this guy having to take the sit down. I&#39;m glad he&#39;s bringing this issue up.
M Logitic: Our group loves what you do, and we all understand. Perhaps one day Game Theorists will come out with a global ARG?
AX1L: DO A THEORY ON AMANDA THE ADVENTURER
PsychoBrad84: Hello. Is this the Krusty Krab?
Literally Everybody:: They really forgot to remember it&#39;s just a theory
janzerie: Mad props to mat for addressing the situation so quickly
Texas747Driver: Matpat:  stop 🛑 ✋.  Me:no
kindyno: don&#39;t ARGs generally have rules baked in that are presented up front in the story telling as well?
Zach Gonzalez: hey i know that this is a serious thing but you never made a fortnite video about the lore or a arg of fortnite you jest made one video in the beginning of the trend saying that it is on mars and now is not true do you the game is a loop and is not on mars
Ex Xe: Oh no they got to close to the secret...
James Klausing: Ya it
Roderick Bawcutt: I&#39;m glad that there are still a few online creators that can create genuine apologies. Massive applause to Mat for this
Michael The Ninth One: It&#39;s funny. I&#39;ve never heard of ARGs.
GalaxyBoi909: It&#39;s amazing how quickly MatPat responds to the problem at hand. He jumps on it immediantly and even goes as far to list ways to make sure it doesn&#39;t happen again. Easy way to tell that he&#39;s an amazing content creator and human being.
Slice Peaches: No I will not stop
Walter: I dont think there is a real fnaf arg.
Zira Risasi: Fortnite fortnite fortntiie

Atomic Smurf: My brother in Christ, you are the one fanning the flames
Ultimate Upgrade: But remember it&#39;s not a theory, it&#39;s a reality <br>I never tried ARG but at least now, I understand the basic rule

Managing Business: Thank you so much for saying this!
Saturn’s HLHS Journey: also i wanna say, if scott or steel wool (??) wanted you to do this kind of thing, they would’ve added it somewhere so that they can make sure it’s 100% going to be directed to someone specifically hired for these things, not random store owners and buisness.
Moulded Strawberry: What’s an arg
John Monk: Dad pat isn&#39;t mad at you guys he is just disappointed because he knows you are better than this. <br>Don&#39;t worry Matt as a fellow dad I can translate the jist for ya to the attention deprived lot lol
Moulded Strawberry: What’s an arg
fan ficfan: ..or is this part of it ARG.. .. .
ZombChamp: This is an extremely important video and hopefully everyone will take this to heart and stay safe 🙏 💙
Shivon Nevius: Yo mat fnaf plus has new gameplay and screen shots!! And this lore is supposedly completely separate from the original lore!...
Bloody mushroom.: Nice👍❤️👀👌
LuigiBones: Big kudos, fixing this issue ASAP. Refreshing and responsible and refreshingly responsible. A+
Justus: I thought this was going to be abt Scott telling Matt to call it off cause he hasn&#39;t finished it yet or something. Did not expect this.<br>On a sidenote: If ARGs and conspiracy theories interest you, check out Red Web&#39;s episode of an ARG created by an author back in the..80&#39;s I think(?)..it&#39;s interesting
Sofia: I heard from the YouTuber @theftking that the mobile port of fanf 3 on Android was updated recently before the final in the series was published
Cheri Berry: Best apology video 10/10
Elizabeth Chase: Great video. Communication is always going to be something this channels has that keeps it one of the healthier ones on the site.

Linoonehat: I&#39;m shocked it escalated this quickly... I just watched that last video like 2 or 3 hours ago...
Nesyaj0: Holy Theorist, I can see the scruff starting to appear on MatPat&#39;s face. They must have scrambled to get this one out.<br><br>I really thought the community would have calmed down a bit, but maybe I was the only one not taking the &quot;scrapped ARG&quot; thing too seriously

retro: Mate we didn&#39;t even start it<br><b>wait did someone actually try to hunt the non-existent arg?</b><br>HOW STUPID ARE WE
Dragon Master: Perhaps it already happened and I missed it, but it would be greatly appreciated if we could please get an apology and elaboration of the situation with Autism Speaks. Whether or not harm was intended, which i am certain that it wasn&#39;t, donating to such a &quot;Charity&quot; is really a move that could and should have been easily avoided given how much MatPat does research into much less important things.
KIRBO TRIGGER: I find it terrible that this had to be publicly addressed, they teach you to not do this kind of stuff in kindergarten, so I don’t know why matpat should have to address it. I don’t think anyone could address this better than you and I hope everyone gets their act together
Falkuzrules: FNaF has always been known for being popular with kids but I think now more than ever the <b>majority</b> of &quot;active&quot; FNaF fans are kids who don&#39;t know better. I&#39;ve been ignoring every SB-related theory on this channel, so I had no idea anything was going on until seeing this title and I was just like &quot;yeppp&quot;.
Shook Ravioli: Mad respect 🫡
Duck master: Fun fact: fnaf Will open a irl restaurant
Guy Meyer: We need more lore vids to
E B: Matpat non that related but can you do a theory on where the zombies from plants vs zombies came from
KevinEcrux: The first guy to call must’ve been like “Where is he, where is Freddy Fazbear! Where is the lore!! I must know!!”
Torchi68: Thank goodness I didn’t participate this situation. If  I participated this, I would be behind bars for harassing the company.

Iori Ch.: its okay to make mistakes. as long as we learned something from it and  move on. never do the mistake twice.
Hana Behl-Lecter: The internet? Be safe and responsible? Haaaaaah.

Kimmy: Omg
Stray Deer: He got the crazy hair going. This is serious.
The Meow Cat 9: There’s dedicated, and then there’s REALLY dedicated. For those who did do this I’m sure you had the best intentions but just remember what you told ragers in shooting games to make them more mad. “Calm down. It’s just a game bro!”
CCHURO: Teachers should address things like matpat straight forward and easy to understand
Oliviyeah: alright influencers take note of this apology video. matpat barely did anything too lol
5cr4p3D?: Finally <br>No more FNAF<br>Make more original content
Nova Axolotl: this is why i love matpat’s content, he’s acutely aware of what’s happening and knows when something goes wrong. then addresses it and gives out solutions. i like solutions and yet rarely ever do i see them, online or in real life, so it’s refreshing to see someone give solutions to problems wether in game or real world.

BrynZGamer: Wow a YouTube that actually knows how to apologize. You don’t see that everyday
The SPD Guy: Hi Matt Pat I love your videos I became a YouTuber just like you you inspired me thank you I think you should play the Xbox X simulator for airplanes it’s pretty cool it’s an Xbox airplane simulator please respond to this comment
SwordofSeals33: The responsibility you take for your channel and your theorist army makes me proud to have been your 15th subscriber :3
Mochamad zhirfan Shauman: Yeah.. the power of internet
MākuSedorikkuWilde🐾: Love your videos there are awesome ≧ω≦
Superiorband: Video property of Ernie gang.
Papa Shaggy: A ton of respect for doing this. Hopefully this becomes the standard for this kind of thing, seeing as it “should” be obvious.
Nemicolor: From the start I had a bad feeling about linking a real location to the fnaf fandom..
Awsome Connie And Creator Connie: One rule to add: Never harass the creators of the ARG for answers! That&#39;s just had and rude.
gamehead91: It&#39;s only partially about etiquette, I think there&#39;s also mental social clues these fans lack...a spectrum disorder.
NOOB: wow
Crappy_animator: So you left 15 min ago
Chloe the crafter: Its true stop the arg pls its a game not real just stop doing it its bad for you
Garbogamer: I kinda want to see you do a theory on dark souls,sekiro,elden ring,etc
Winchesters4life: This. this is why matpat will always be my favorite creator. he doesn&#39;t sell out, he doesn&#39;t cover up or try to hide from his mistakes, he doesn&#39;t pretend he is perfect. he sits down and he talks about it. he takes responsibility, and he addresses the problem directly, as soon as he is aware of it and can get a video out. in an age where image is everything, matpat doesn&#39;t try to manipulate his fans into idolizing him and defending him so he doesn&#39;t have to defend himself. it&#39;s something Dream fans could definitely learn a lesson from.
Lord Zaneu: Best apology video on the internet
Stormy Waters: On top of private property, I&#39;d also include no contact to any person or account that is not EXPLICITLY called out by the arg. <br>AKA<br>If the next step feels like a reach, DON&quot;T DO IT.
MusicJester: 😭 look at how much matpat has matured over the years
Raymond Atkinson: Damn the internet is crazy. Never thought that a video like this would ever had to be made on Game Theory. But I guess it makes sense in a way.
RyuShiro: &quot;Never share around adresses or numbers&quot;<br><br>Me who has depressed friends: &quot;Guess I&#39;ll not share the suicide prevention number&quot;<br><br><b>This is a meme please help friends in need</b>
az zahar: To whoever tries to justify their wrongdoings and said &quot;it&#39;s just for content/game&quot;, &quot;no harms done&quot;. You&#39;re part of the problem.
Sloth7D: what&#39;s an ARG?
Daniel Sickmann: Finally a real YouTube apology video
Shadow King: Well this blow every one’s mind and the team that did that. The power of the internet and expected and not unexpected that comes from it
Fancy123: Respect
spice!: The only thing I took away from this video is that Matpat just has a black vignette that follows him around everywhere.
GentleMattman: Thank you for posting this Matt! I really appreciate what you do &lt;3
。⁠*゚。c e l e s t i a 。⁠*⁠♡: I&#39;m the child who did nothing but was simply at the scene of the crime .
Rachel Lopez: the fact that this is better than any apology video I’ve ever seen on YT speaks VOLUMES abt matpat and the game theorists :)
TheManYouKnowWell: me when your mom
Ace of Games: Mat sitting on a couch is the equivalent of when the teacher is sitting on their desk
That one background fish: As soon as I saw the thumbnail the only thing I could think of was oh God what did they do
The Void Walker: Sorry dad😭😅(even tho I didn’t do anything)
Torn Trash: ive always wanted to do an arg hunt kind of thing i love the idea of looking for new secrets of beloved things as a community but its just too far i respect mat for addressing it as soon as possible
Scarfbit: there still might be those few who keep trying, but hopefully not.
Spike on steroids: Jeez I thought somebody died.
HeppuPlays: Props to you for adressing this so quick. You gotta remember that Felix the shark consisted of Scrapped stories. So maybe if there truly was an ARG at some point It would have gotten Scrapped alongside the stories. and if there was an ARG that Scott truly wanted to create He would have found a way to Hide the Clue in an actual story that didn&#39;t get cut.<br>so if there was an ARG at some point the Cut story in Felix the shark would be just a remnant of what could have been.
Daniel Hollibaugh: Always buddy (at the very least let someone know where and when you&#39;ll be somewhere and give updates where possible), check cell service where you&#39;re going or have a handheld gps and make sure they&#39;re charged <br>Don&#39;t advertise on social media that you&#39;re going to be gone if traveling (just a general traveling thing to avoid burglary) <br>Take plenty of snacks and water. If you&#39;re not going to see any major landmarks to navigate or remember them, assume you&#39;ll get lost even if you got a phone/gps and pack accordingly <br>If driving somewhere remote make sure to pack some gas cans for your vehicle, just in case<br>Never access or hack a server without ARG related branding (ex. The portal web terminal branded as Aperture science) and never delete anything when accessing it (do not type rm or del)<br>Do not call, text, or fax any phone numbers unless EXPLICITLY told to by the ARG (same goes for emails)<br>If you find any flash drives, do not plug them into your daily computer and be ready to wipe the computer&#39;s drive and have anti-virus in case something happens. <br>Leave any clues  where you found them so others can also find them
Glyph Music Official: That Bill Cipher statue still exists somewhere nearby where it was found at the near police station or something. It was propped up on a tree near it.
Mr. Smiles: This is why we love Matt. Mad respect for addressing this, especially as soon as he did.
T: I did not play the game or call I can&#39;t get the game
Ari ^^: I think an unspoken rule could be if you form an ARG groups, you have a representative formally go to the potential site, and confirm or deny if it&#39;s indeed linked to it, and/or even public access
mr.movedoge: Unrelated but can a theory video on the pastra arg be made?
yes: OH MY GOD I BET ANY CHUCKEE CHEESES IN THE AREA ARE SO ANNOYED
xXgtagod369Xx: I love the late posts omfg
Aurum Arma: Commenting to boost engagement, since this really needs to get circulated.
Memento Mori: Yeah the gravity falls arg was REAL, this isn’t that’s why is is very dumb and everyone should stop
Mothman: As the fnaf fandom we already went through this with that one pizzeria years back, did we learn nothing
Jon V.: They won&#39;t stop<br>Once the internet has put their mind to something they won&#39;t stop.
some guy named steve: I saw this from a fanf arg it would involve insane risks given the insane lore of fans already.<br>It wouldn&#39;t be expected from any other arg fanf is way different given how many loops and hoops you need to get 1% of the lore accurate.
Melanie Moses: I feel so bad, for MatPat, but he handled the information very well despite what occurred which is very admrible!
lavenderBROOK: This is kinda sad
Noblesse Oblige: I wish there were etiquette guides for making args. Because &quot;don&#39;t use private locations&quot; should absolutely be a hard coded rule. There are a lot of smaller args that do stuff like that, which makes it tempting for solvers to go to those locations
Cole Jackson: Thanks Matt I appreciate this set of guidelines. I’ll stick to what I know and can do
🥨Chips🥨: I love the fact you care about everybody  that’s soooooooooooooooooo much
Kelly Kloster: Yes
Robloxfantasticitz: He sounds like my principal
Jonathon Lauer: A normal, rational, and non-cringe apology. Incredible!
Hahah hahah: polite
mufeet: I really appreciate you owning up to this mistake and telling die hard fans to stop, and putting it up on YouTube. But- like cmon this did NOT have to be 10 minutes, it was at most 4 and that’s putting it lightly. Still thinking of the money
Random Man 64: Game theory idea: Who is the wealthiest mario character
Efeu see: i thougt i would be early because the video war uploadet an hour ago but then a saw that there are over 4000 comments😂😂😂😂

Goofy ahh productions: Mat Pat I got an Idea for an episode for film theory <br><br>How is Dave able to speak to the humans but Alex isn’t in the Madagascar franchise

Mr__Music: So much for commonsense.
Declan McComas: how much do you want to bet he&#39;s flying tovoaklahoma to solve it himself
Rhyder Leming: Idea, we actually try to solve some older mysteries, like ohh idk… the bite of 87’
Verna Hinman: 😔
campside sketch: Or what
O K: So glad you decided to address this, it was the right thing to do after all. We know you didn’t have bad intentions and didn’t expect it would become that big, but in the end you always do the right thing.
xXMiu_Miu~ChanXx: *Matpat sits on couch while recording<br>*Everyone listens intensely
Verna Hinman: 😅
Lanceer: matt is apologizing for his children just like my mom
DeadZone: This went 0 to 100 real quick, hope you&#39;re okay Matpat!
Mrtop Bald: I respect it I didn&#39;t expect someone to do this either after the whole find the real freddy&#39;s restaurant
Danky Sauce: Im going to make an arg were you can only solve it by going onto private property
Shawn Heatherly: Well, this escalated. Props to MatPat for trying to put out the fire.
Bomb_Minty: Ooo
Verna Hinman: Ayayayayaayayayyaayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayyayaayyayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayyaayyayayayayayayayayayayaayayayayyaayayayayyaayayayyaayyayaayyayayayayayayayayayayyaayyayayayayayayayayyayayayayayayayayyayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayyayayayyayayayayayayayayayayayyaayayayyayayayyayyayayyayayyayayayayaayayayayyayayyayayayayayayayayayayayyayayayayaayyaayyayayayayayaayyayaayyayyayayayayyayayayayayayayaayayayyayayayayayayayyayyayayayayyaayyayayayayayayayyayayyayaayyyayayayayayayayayayyayayayayyaaaaayyyayayayyaayyayayayayayayayaaaayyyyyaaaaayayayayayayayayayayayyayyayayayayayayay

Goku is sus: Man I did not see this coming
pepitodelrancho: wtf why does MatPat look like a chad now
theblacksamruott: ok dad
Wing Nutt: justice for the actman
TheDarkest 9: Very mature response to a stressful situation. Well done! 👍
Mr. Otaku: Thank you for addressing this issue. Speaking of args you should do a video on pastra’s arg with lankmann.
HuskDoesStuff: Couchpat saves the day again, thanks for addressing this!
flamenskall: is an alternate universe I&#39;m living in right now<br>no fake crying<br>no sigh<br>no this isn&#39;t scripted cliche when it clearly is<br>this is a genuine apology video from a YouTuber
John the herbalist G: Dude, props for jumping on this so fast. You averted a lot of headaches, heartaches and (probably) a fair amount of litigation. As usual, things are larger and more impactful on the internet than they would be in a real world community, and the real world doesn&#39;t have the manpower to deal with internet stuff
King Cameron: one of the best ARGs ever is called The Secret, I would highly recommend checking it out
Chaz_Manion_Devil -: You said closed pizzeria ?
Verna Hinman: Aaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy
Sarah Angellis: Had to bring Dad Patt out 💀
Isabela Neves: Tl;dr dont harass companies
Earth Is A Donut: I&#39;m most devastated that Mat isn&#39;t wearing his signature red jacket on the couch.
Verna Hinman: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fanf yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Dilprit Khinda: This was expected to happen in hindsight, regardless it&#39;s great that Matthew addressed this asap.
CavemanGuy: I respect this.  Smart move Matt
Steve Red: Lol
T Gauff: Honestly<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>I respect MatPat even more then wver. He actually apologized and took responsibility.
LemonChan is Random: It&#39;s ok papa
Hayley Robetoy: I&#39;m glad you addressed this problem right away and apologized. You really care about your viewers. Also, I ordered your alien button down shirt the minute you started promoting it, so I&#39;m really looking forward to wearing it.
Viasom: Yea, I don’t think humans are very smart….
moe: how embarrassing
rip the tear: Most town and city info can be found on said town&#39;s official site and open records that you can find in directories from that site. Even public records from 50+ years ago.
Serenity: Mad respect for Matt he addressed this as soon as possible
imactuallyjust_merida: Seems like you didnt know but there was a really bad situation when fnaf fans thought there might be an ARG because they found some numbers in the game files that led to a real world pizzaria so they called and harrased they place untill Scott Cawthon told them to stop. I dont think a fnaf arg is possible because Scott and the Devs probably dont want something like that to happen again
Melancholic Echo: You had no way to know this is what is going to happen but it&#39;s great than you address it and got a solution for the problem
illioptopede: Scott&#39;s gonna realize yall found out about the ARG and be like &quot;oh shoot i didnt put the thing there!&quot;
skdee skdee skdee: (I commented this before watching) what FNAF arg hunt???<br>...oh <br>SEE THIS IS HOW YOU DO AN APOLOGY BRO
76trevion: It is the Freddy pizzeria all over again we need to learn from that mistake
Ryan Marshall: i like your jacket, pretty cool
cozmonauts: Oh shut up, you’re being dramatic

I'm Bored Studios: 4226th
CongressSingingINC: Adding on to the private info; it’s very easy to find names, addresses, and stuff that is technically considered public info (internet-wise). For example, my English class and I have found A TON of our teacher’s info, including her full name, current and past addresses, phone number, all that, just by looking up her name in order to find a 100 pg thesis she wrote for her masters class. We had to be specific in our search since there were other researchers  and teachers with her name so we had to use her middle initial to find the thesis but, again, that led to us finding things like her address. Hell, even sites like Ancestry can have all of someone’s info for obvious reasons. Be responsible and respectful if you find sensitive info like that about an individual even if it is technically within the public’s grasp
Cole Kiesler: Believe me I did not expect MatPat to actually address some issues and flaws with The FNAF Arg. This was actually a big step in the right the direction for him to while criticizing the problems but also still able to respect it. We should all appreciate how much MatPat does for his content of putting his heart and soul to his works Thank You for this video Mat.
neko channel uwu: I feel like he&#39;s calling me out for litterly not doing anything becouse I&#39;m to lazy to do any ARG stuff
12champion: Anyone else get reminded of the battle toads GameStop prank?
Noah Toflinski: Day 2 of asking mat pat to do a video on Evertale
Abarax_Altered: Gonna do it anyway.
Awkwardgamer77: I&#39;m just looking through the fnaf color book cause I have it. That&#39;s all I&#39;m doing to help
Nova Negative: I’m convinced matpat is a completely different person now he ain’t even look the same

D.J. Irla: Too little too late isn&#39;t it?
kyrto4ka: So many bots holy
big boy: sadly if anything happens mat is the one responsible for this and hes going to be the one to pay dammages
Wesleyan Wannabe: So out of curiosity, if you are one of the dumb fans who tried calling those local businesses, what did you try asking them? What were you even trying to find out? If dominoes had any animitronics there? If the park next door has a purple guy statue? If Scott went there and left a ARG letter with them? What did you even think the Dominoes order taker would know?
Flame: I saw the title and immediately got scared
mishh: DEEEEEE
J.E.X - Topic: Yessir
Stormblade1745: Thanks for addressing the issue, I sincerely hope that everyone takes in the overall message and guidelines for ARG solving.<br><br>That being said there is definitely a lot of proof surrounding the non-existence of the fnaf ARG which is currently being covered on the game theorists subreddit
Cassandra Quinonez: I swear in the first video he said straight out not to call places....maybe it was something said on the subreddit
Adam Prince: It&#39;s videos like these that remind me why MatPat is my favorite.
MegaChickenfish: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=9m12s">9:12</a> Since I don&#39;t see it as a top comment, there&#39;s the list for quick reference.
Mrtfarrugia: Judging by the title I briefly thought Scott was going to go full FNAF and stuff kids in suits.
Yaroblox013: Can you make a theory about roblox

Wiz: Matpat dad mode
Stellarjay games: Love your vids matpat. My friends love u too. Keep up the great work and theory’s
TheSpyWaffles: Lol
Noel M.: 4, 154th comment :)
RaiKask: An important rule of thumb, unless something like a phone number is <b>explicitly</b> given, it&#39;s off limits. Similar to how an arg might link a website built for it, you wouldn&#39;t just go onto random websites and click around trying to dig up a clue
death to gabi: if your so sorry to these businesses reach out to them make a donation buy something from them instead of giving them empty words
Alanjinha CP: I had no idea about that, the proportions omg 🤣😱
Sam Workbench: Oh, that is what that call was about...
anime siping tea: mb
Mystery Central: another rule i&#39;d make is probably that you should always go on safe websites for arg solving and not dig into the deep deep web where you are sure to get some malware/viruses
kyrto4ka: Bros on the plane right now kinda cool I guess hopefully it’s a safe flight
Xaivierx K.1.8: This is why I have so much respect for matpat. He has much empathy For others and that’s great.
Cam O: I know this might be far fetched but what about the secret mess from security breach in the sister location room. Maybe that has something to do with this.
The Crazier Diamondz: ……. That was unexpected to hear happened.
Arrowinmehknee: He sounds like my dad and I love it!
Lando: Mad respect
Brandon Giuffria: love this channel and keep it up
lets play with beans: thanks for addressing this, I somehow ended up with my phone number out there and got like 40 phone calls asking if I knew where to find &quot;the secret box key&quot;. I&#39;m 15.
Monstructer: Your fan base is full of kids, this should have not been a surprise lol
ace518: Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GameBoo: I think the twitter mob got way too out of hand with attacking you matt, but I guess they&#39;re just running on precedent. You made it perfectly clear your intentions in the original video and that twitter mob just completely misunderstood and blew it out of proportion. You&#39;re a nice guy though so of course you&#39;ll acquiesce their concerns.
lucas Gehlen: amogus
Anna Taymond: It wouldn’t have occurred to me that it would be that much of a problem.  This video was much more helpful than the typical “oh sorry about that” in how well explained and put together everything is.
Lolbit the GlitchQueen: I never imagined this would happen.
Erin Bathie-Moore: I didn&#39;t even know it was a thing and I kinda feel like that one kid who looks at their siblings and go &quot;what did you guys do?&quot;
1awesomejosh1YT: Also i did nothing but u know Felix the shark looks kinda fleshy it Might’ve been created by a real shark
ANIMOSITY _: I know this comment is gonna get drowned in the abyss of hate but.<br>Mat pat i need you to know that my brothers and sisters know that twitter is a very toxic place and it will bite and drag you into an abyss just because of one tiny little error. So the hate you see below saying you didn&#39;t take &quot;responsibility&quot; etc etc. I believe is wrong; because this blew out of proportion. Yes the Fandom did not see the etiquette, yes you thought we had the etiquette to do the arts, and I do believe it is common sense. <br>Regardless of what you do twitter will bite at you.
Fanta Protogen: Matt pat do you take video requests if you do can you do the backrooms
〜Willow〜: Mat Pat‘s fan base just turned into American Twitter that can’t stop leaking addresses ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ok: I just realized how if we all call someone under Mat Pats rule and he allows it (which he won’t) we can take over the world
Oiram 94: not everyone was around for the arg here or may be to young to understand workplace boundaries. besides a fnaf pizzeria would be the place to call not local businesses
Bamgm14 : Matpat accidentally launched a tactical nuke
Lucas Trimble: Also, I feel like this needs to go without saying, don&#39;t break laws. Don&#39;t attack anyone, don&#39;t spy on anyone, don&#39;t break the laws.

Newt: This was handled very well props MatPat
Markers: Shoot
Hulises Perez: Hi
Sierra Royalty: I absolutely applaud that this video isn&#39;t overly blamey/harsh, has absolutely no pussyfooting around the issue, and is completely constructive. I think it&#39;s not only okay, but sorta natural, for this type of problem to occur. ARGs are newer grounds in the world of the internet, and there&#39;s always going to be some confusion, some troublemakers, and some overly-enthusiastic types involved when it comes to unformal group activities. But I do agree that it was both MatPat&#39;s responsibility and his duty to be like &quot;Guys this is not okay, let&#39;s backtrack and lay out some community guidelines&quot; bc of that last video. However, I <b>also</b> find this response to be what the doctor ordered. Thank you MatPat, for showing once more why I respect you as a YouTuber and creative mind.<br><br>You&#39;ve said before that YouTubers have to be grown-ups these days. And this is what a grown-up response to a community-caused issue looks like.

Darth Vader Gamer: Oh my god, I don’t think I could imagine just getting hundreds of phone calls in a day from little children asking about fnaf. That’d be so annoying, I feel so so so bad for the businesses.
Mastermind: Ah, yes. Another endeavor he solved in his DadPat form.
Animated Moomoo: i mean to fair i don’t think it’s matpat or the fans faults. it’s the book writers faults for putting those company names in a book that is pointing towards an arg
The Raptor King of the West: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=8m25s">8:25</a> even if it is apart of the ARG do not start harassing them, I believe some of us remember what happened around the email in Catastrophe Crow
CosmicGirl♡: I&#39;m happy you addressed this because I had a bad feeling that this would happen after I watched the video with felix the shark
WhtUpBonez: appreciate the apology BUT i don’t think anyone blames you in any way shape or forms so don’t worry
UniKast Radio: Im suprised by this fanbase.... normally Game theory is the farthest thing from controversty.... HELL i work in the music indsutry, my 375 subbed channel has seen more controversy than Game theory O_O
Jotaro Uzumaki: The dad we all know, love and need. He talks to his fanbase as if we&#39;re his children that he raised from birth. Raising Ollie must&#39;ve helped him communicate to his fanbase better.

NotTest: I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize.<br><br>What we came across in the woods that day was obviously unplanned. The reactions you saw on tape were raw; they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we were going through.<br><br>There&#39;s a lot of things I should have done differently but I didn&#39;t. And for that, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry.<br><br>I want to apologize to the internet. I want to apologize to anyone who has seen the video. I want to apologize to anyone who has been affected or touched by mental illness, or depression, or suicide. But most importantly I want to apologize to the victim and his family.<br><br>For my fans who are defending my actions, please don&#39;t. I don’t deserve to be defended. My goal with my content is always to entertain; to push the boundaries, to be all-inclusive. In the world I live in, I share almost everything I do. The intent is never to be heartless, cruel, or malicious.<br><br>Like I said I made a huge mistake. I don’t expect to be forgiven, I’m just here to apologize.<br><br>I&#39;m ashamed of myself. I’m disappointed in myself. And I promise to be better. I will be better. Thank you.
Lil PorkChop: gud guy mat :3
Joshua Margalus: MatPat: &quot;I think FNAF has an ARG planned that fell through.&quot;<br><br>A Few Hundred Kids: &quot;Matt wants us to literally call the police.&quot;
Gerardo Alzamora: Can you try And and Make A theory On My hero academia
a cheeseburger: It&#39;s really sad how this is coming to me like a school PSA about online etiquette and cyber bullying and whatever else they talked about.  I&#39;m sitting here waiting for someone like Cr1tikal to eventually talk about this too 🗿 I completely understand that this was a complete misunderstanding and we let our guards down (if that makes even the slightest of sense) and we need to know common sense but imo it&#39;s pretty sad
d1lflover: matpat thanks for addressing this ik you didnt mean for it to be taken so literal but still ty ^^
iaKaN: Something very endearing seeing an issue get called out and shut down this quickly.
DartPokeMM: Although you mentioned it before, I would shift all the rules down and actually add &quot;Act safely and responsibly&quot; as Rule 1. If you&#39;re going to do something that can potentially get you hurt - don&#39;t. No ARG is worth dying over. Even if the ARG&#39;s origin is a little bit...liberal with the murder and the killing and the death.
Exotic spacewolf: I like when Matt Pat does the couch videos
• ℙ𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕤 •: I can&#39;t believe things went so wrong- It reminds me when Flamingo fans harassed games and creators causing Albert to get on their bad side for no reason..
olensonic: This video is why I LOVE matpat he is so amazing I mean not even any other YouTuber would even call they’re ARGs out and if they did they wouldn’t get to the argument
SubZero Gaming: bruv he is like a dad rn
pikminscool: Meh. Mat said to go somewhere and they just did.
Cum Face: God
Touch Grass: Its funny im leaving for a flight tomorrow
CC164: Me looking through the comments:<br><b>he could be anyone! He could be you, he could be me!</b>
S P E R M: &quot;Pull up a chair, lets talk&quot;
Ucok P. Sitohang: hi
Ender Ponydragon: You&#39;re a really great guy Matt. That&#39;s all I can say. You&#39;re amazing. This is amazing, thank you.
Mage: I&#39;m not going to lie, though. Title that doesn&#39;t fully explain (which it can&#39;t, I&#39;m not hating here) then Matt coming in and sitting on the couch will ALWAYS scare the willikers out of me.
bendy and the YouTube channel: Have you heard of the Alex bale arg or the muse arg as some call it
Shiro Neko: I have an idea. Why don&#39;t The Theorists Channel make their own Discord? It&#39;d be cool if you manage it with ur own community and staff. Also volunteers who&#39;s familiar with the community and discord management. Not only it&#39;s organized, but it&#39;s also makes you, The Game Theorists, aware of what&#39;s happening to the community. <br><br>The name of the Server should be The Theorists with 4 different categories, GT Life, Game Theory, Film Theory, and Lastly, Food Theory. It&#39;s just my suggestion but hopefully you reconsider it! <br><br>Thanks again for calling this out. I love your videos MatPat!
shadowtbd Firecat Studios: Yikes
Bananaman: I had no idea this was happening. I commend the effort but damn, where&#39;s the common sense?
Coopernicus237: Mandela catalogue vol.333 dropped!
FluteMonke: wait MatPat I have a piece of info that i think might be helpful for a theory, is there a email address you have that I can send you my idea?
Cum Face: just came back to this channel and the first thing I think of is Ronnie.
Mezz Sticker: Matpat is the father figure I never had lol
Z3RØ5um: Well said Matt. I&#39;d add, since a lot of Game Theory&#39;s demo is younger, if you need to go somewhere for an ARG, don&#39;t go alone and inform someone where you&#39;re going
oliver.iloveyou: This was the oddest apology video I’ve ever seen—
Nathaniel Smith: I never thought Matpat would have had to make this video.
Saturn: So glad you commented on this before it was too late
Harper Lome: i feel like makers of ARG,s should watch this video, so they knew the rules that we are playing by so they can make there arg around them
Artz Kookie: If this hadn’t been realized, it would be more chaotic.
Nightshaydes: &quot;if you&#39;re calling domino&#39;s, make sure it&#39;s to order some delicious pizza&quot;<br>so then you have no reason to call domino&#39;s, because honestly, their pizza is bleh.
Alex Jurcovec: I also recommend putting in not to go to these places alone. While it may be a public place, use the buddy system. We don&#39;t want something happening to someone because they got curious and wanted to solve the puzzle
Sheep Commander: nice job
totam: Eyyy he said the &quot;stay curious&quot; line
Bob Corn on the Cob: He is in the airport as we speak
peanuts fan xy: He says he&#39;s going to the airport in 45 minutes I called Marie here watching the video 45 minutes after he uploaded it
Savage: Everyone, if you know a person that saw that last theory video help me share this!
Katie: LMAO I could see this coming
Robert Bastrup: Worlds best YouTube apology video?
Hannah Sylvain: I didn&#39;t expect anyone to respond to that video
ThatNarwhalDude77: Chadpat
Gentleman Gnar: This situation reminds me of the recent Warframe &quot;Angels of Zariman&quot; ARG where someone posted the wrong phone number into a discord chat and then a pharmacy got a ton of calls asking about space ninjas
Rene2 Velasquez: Please do another wilbersoot episode
DaviL: I love these MatChats
Honjo: I would like to see a discord server, I would be hype for that
Kyo The_Breakfanator: Just because a company, person, or place is named in game or book. Does NOT mean they are always involved with the real world. This is why many shows will do a disclaimer to keep from people&#39;s private lives from being affected. <br><br>Never think that a company or persons will not punish you legally. Just because you use a blocked number does not mean you are safe.
Steven with an r: I feel like part of the reason why this happened is because of the amount of overlap between the fnaf fanbase and hardcore arg enthusiasts. Even though there have been a lot of arg like elements in fnaf, there&#39;s never been anything on the same scale is like the cipher hunt. This may have been a lot of (younger) people&#39;s first real try at an arg. Thanks for addressing this in a proactive way guys!
Gustavo M.: Ain&#39;t no way it took 10 minutes to explain basic common sense to tackling stuff like ARGs.
ChezJowy: Dum dums, and thus we cannot have nice things
Spade Alt: Hey, MatPat, I had a manic episode recently that centered heavily around the ideas of ARGs. I have slowly been recounting what triggered me to go into such a manic spiral when I thought I was trying desperately to solve one (It tied into a bit of psychosis I was experiencing when I was acting without cognitive thought. I believed that the world was a simulation and that solving this ARG was a matter of life and death)<br><br>If my story can be useful to you or anyone you know in any way, I am happy to share every detail I have.
Sekothetreetos: Well that didn’t went as expected-
SpotTheWolf1: I honestly love how MatPat doesn’t just ask us to stop, but gets really into the root of the problem, so to solve it. Love the content, keep it up MatPat and Team Theorist!
Ryan the Guardian: I’d like to add the the bullet list! <br><br>6. Be respectful to fellow puzzle solvers that have questions for your findings. It’s important that debates remain civilized!
DredgenWar237: You, Mat, are the best. For laying this down. Nuff said.
Gamer5: hi matpat i love your vids
RunsOnCaffeine: Now THIS is the proper YouTube Apology and not the basic “trend” half-assed ones you get from April Fools or “prank videos”.<br>And hats off to this guy being a problem solver and bringing solutions to what could’ve been a real bad situation, especially for already struggling businesses.
Jorge Lay: yo
Sketch Skeleton: Respect. the fact that so many called these businesses in the span of a few days is incredible and concerning. i am glad it was addressed this soon.
UndeadEggmiester: ... I&#39;m amazed that Mattpat never expected this to happen because let&#39;s face it when you ask a fan base of over thousands of fans to do something of course it would end badly.
Tyler Brown: This is one of those algorithm comments. Get boosted, video.
•Gustsnowy official•: lol
Gixmo: And this is why I love matpat he told the community why we were wrong but didn’t make us feel like idiots. We all appreciate you Mat
Floup: ok wow
Slayer_Z47: This is one of the many reasons I have worlds of respect for Matt and the theorist team.
Sam Hartley: This feels like getting in trouble by a teacher you love
cj long: It seems that Freddy Fazbear&#39;s expanded and one of the manager decided to make another robot and that&#39;s where Felix the shark came from
Funkrat: This is straight fax ngl
WayWardWonderer: There are some TRUE fanatics out there...  Not surprised Mat had to do some damage control so fast!!
iB cHEEL: That&#39;s too bad, living I Utah I&#39;m not surprised this happened. Hey everyone just be a little more careful and kind with your research.
Beary: I&#39;m glad I&#39;m too stupid and young to take part or even understand an ARG, I just like MatPat explaining the ARG to me
Busy_bee436: I only saw that video today, and I was only looking in books and things on google. Didn&#39;t expect any one to do things like that, let alone only a few days after the video.
somerobloxplayer: is no one gonna talk about how he got 300k views in 45 minutes
 ignoredperado: Make a minecraft  warden lore
Timothy Ruzon: Algorithm comment!!<br><br>also thanks
Pkmn Masters: dang it late again 44 minutes ago
Lassi: ?!?!?!
Jude Yovichin: very well-articulated
MilesMario: survival of the fittest. if they die because they are dipshits theeeeen. weeeell
SSPS: The only YouTube apology that is sincere
Foolio: This is why you don&#39;t trust society
one tome plz: a fraction of a million is a lot
Sierra Johnson: I think most of us forget that there’s a small percentage of humanity that DOESNT get phone call anxiety and are totally fine with just calling up strangers.
Cherry: Well said.
Mello_Remedy: 1. Never Publish Someone’s Private Info(No doxing)<br>2.Stick to public known information. (No hacking or diving deep into someone’s private space)<br>3. Be safe In public/ only public area.<br>4. Do not call Private Businesses for THE LORE<br>5. Find one central medium for solving or talking about the ARG.
Steven Indorato: Matt, there&#39;s no ARG here.<br>It&#39;s not that they don&#39;t know how to follow the rules of an ARG. You literally weren&#39;t like &quot;Hey, complete this ARG someone intended to put together&quot;, you said &quot;Hey, I think there&#39;s an ARG here, find it.&quot;<br>Playing an ARG and looking for one are two completely different things.<br>Just avoid pointing your fanbase of mostly children (no offense to you OR them) in a random direction and telling them there&#39;s a fun game there if they look hard enough.
dontworryaboutit: Another reason why we can&#39;t have nice things 👍
NimbleJarl76: At least he was responsible enough to address this issue, respect Matpat. Respect
boss kg: love the vids
Henry Miller: Matpat has learned he controls a small army. Could make some bogus reason abt an ARG and harass just about anybody and any government, and he’d have plausible deniability too.
Paper Aaron64: What does ARG stand for and what is it?
EpicSandwich: Only you can prevent mass doxxing<br><br>Act responsible
N3rd: respect
don()shinobi: That was fast. Thank you very much for the quick response.
kalv: sor bruv
LikeUhVillain: Dude you literally called a bunch of preteens to action. What did you expect? It&#39;s kinda disgusting the way you try to pass blame btw.<br>I know I&#39;m just a rando and no one really cares but I thought I&#39;d let you know I&#39;m unsubbing from all the Theorist channels. It&#39;s been sad to see the recent decline and I&#39;m not with it anymore.
batreopr8dman: No amount of lore is worth your (or anyone&#39;s) life.
badatsomerhing: Rules in short, no doxing, no trespassing, no destruction of property, no harassing, and find a central discussion space
snow gaming: Love ya ❤
Faron, Afton: that was fast
Nameless: Like one man once said: that took a turn real quick
omnigamergt: great video but GOD is this comment section plagued bye bots like EVRY comment has a reply from mange saying finally its here
animatronic boss: Jeez when did this happen
Solid Bro: Late 43 mins
Freezer: I bet 3 1/2 cups of Mabel juice Matt won’t pin this comment
RushMan: This feels like a dad talk. And I love it.
Bradford Snyder: You know when matpat pops in unshaven and sweaty it’s gonna get real.
Blistick Overwatch: This is like the teacher coming back to school the next day and getting a bad report from the substitute teacher
Sona: We&#39;re sorry Papa Pat.
Yue Akiyama: We will need to make a huge share+post this video... Its important
Jaxafrass: Enough is enough. Scott needs to conclude this ridiculous lore now. This is insane.
Shadowforge: Gee who would have thought weaponizing your fanbase to solve something in real life would be a bad idea.....
Joelle Davis: And this confirms how great of a dad MatPat is and will continue to be I wish my dad addressed issues in this manner
Chase on The case: Calls police “911 what’s your emergency?” <br><br>“Has any one reported strange animal robot related stuff?” “Sir this is 911”
Dustin Roberts: MatPat, you are the man.
Deadpool: Erase the original video or at least edit it
ArcherIsHere: This could not have backfired harder
Bladecharge: Game theory fanbase: pappa<br> matpat is upset about this.
Jam fry Pan: I liked the video it got me to read the prankster book that I bought the day before that I had to ambition to read
Giest galaxy 1616: I agree I have been solving ARG&#39;s for awhile now and I do agree it&#39;s awesome that mat addressed this because I had gotten into this theory and did some digging I hadn&#39;t found anything new I had just figured that it was just unfinished but thank you anyway
Willy Wally: Only apology video that felt genuine
Crystal Rose: Reminds me of the Steven universe fandom harassing the actual keystone motel
Fries101Reviews: what about FNAF Special Delivery does that have ARG&#39;s?
alden encluna: Nice.
Galaxy_hampter: I thught this would be like a mad video but it was not a mad one and was do not do this or else that bad so yeah i dont know what i am talking aboutr now so bye bye
P-man_XD: I don&#39;t know why but I decided to watch the full thing.
Jensen Brown: Not only apologizes for things he only inadvertently caused, but tries to find a solution immediately. 10/10
EnderTender: GT just talked about common sense
Rowan Thain: Oh golly I guess you should of mentioned that no one may call for lore 🫥
hyper mega: does anyone have theory channels discord?
Kitcatlol14: Fortnite’s story is big asf and confusing asf, you should really explore it’s lore a lot more, and despite the terrible community the game itself is so cool with its cosmetics and map and just everything connecting to the lore. One reason why I still play it just to keep in track with the live events and see new characters n that
monke eat banan: It feels like when the nice teacher finally talks to the class about a problem
kolo jack: I agree I&#39;m a loyal therieist but I never get involved with arg of things like this but may I say one thing my real true name my true soul is what Scott bassed off although he never knew what he&#39;s doing to yall is hurting you and the multiverse I do wish yall the best love the theories the aftons real last name as my souls last name will not be revealed but I used to build things simular to what Scott games showed and had designed it for because of family in my souls last life although when my souls turn to go to a suit I made it went into the next life as what we now call the period after the creation of the universe or as I known one universe by the way yeah this civilization is way behind than the one I&#39;m used to
Human Haker9: Finally you addressed this
Rusty Spoon: You know he&#39;s serious when he wears his leather jacket
Indie Variety: why would you call a real person about something online? I don&#39;t understand that behavior. you really expect them to know what you&#39;re talking about? use the internet, newspapers, books... that&#39;s what computers and libraries are for. I&#39;ll leave it to Mat for the rest, but c&#39;mon guys
Jet -Jet: Yes dad, we&#39;re sorry. :(
vanessa santiago: you know when matpat sits on his couch with a full view of his body with shadows in the corner<br> <br><b>We&#39;ve made a mistake</b><br><br>At least I like he is confronting problem directly like the others in the past
Mr super sentai robo: :D
StarStalker28: This video is one of the reasons I love Mat Pat so much, when something goes wrong he talks about it asap and explains how to fix it. Owning up to any mistake that would happen rather than hiding it or taking a lesser measure to deal with it. 11/10 video
The Prophet Moon: THANK YOU MAT! this is why I love this channel! You understand your faults and you admit it! All of these rules are amazing and perfect! Stay cool Matt!!
Landon Stone: just watching a mark rober vid just said &quot;waht 33 minutes ago? ok&quot;
local_imu: Makubra
Frye's GF: Even tho the arg might not be real, I’m glad you address this man thanks.
itsJoshV: Also adding, if you come across an ARG that requires you to break any of these rules, that is a bad ARG and you should kindly inform the folks who created it AND STILL not break these rules.
Opaque Jake: this makes me want to do it more &gt;:)
Human Haker9: Yo skedadudler
YeahYeahDevs: Sorry dad 😢
Hunter on the run: Game theory = cringe
LuigiVR: Lmao
kage131: Couch pat is the scariest pat. <br>I&#39;m more worried about couch pat than I am about emergency presidential addresses.
Michael Daniels: I just watched it because I&#39;m not a huge FNAF fan. I like your videos but, I don&#39;t play the games.
Theodore Rabbit: so sad how much this fandom changed.
brother_birb: thank you for this video matt
BackwardsKnees: Impressive to drag this out to 10 mins for the algo
Scruffy: So glad he’s doing the responsible thing
Tatum Greenough: man im not watching all this someone summarize for me
Oneboxboi: Early yo 41 mins ago
Gustavo Assef: Ohh Shoes! What a pickle! Your last face, Matthew, was like &quot;FUdGE Billy Lawyer is mad with me right now&quot;. Hope everything works okay man. It seemed like a legal obligation, but funny (not cool to do those things for ARG).. Funny thing, I&#39;m from ARGentina.. It&#39;s gonna be pretty cool when that creepy fashion arrives.
Lovelace shadow heart: Make a book mat arg etiquette
Heaven's Door: If anyone is interested in seeing what might happen if some of these rules aren&#39;t followed, watch NightMind&#39;s videos on Jack Torrence.<br>Long story short though, &quot;Jack&quot; didn&#39;t follow some of these rules and if Nick wasn&#39;t as cautious as they were, it could&#39;ve ended poorly. They even lament about this in their videos about Jack Torrence
Jessie Hogue: Is this me hallucinating, or does MatPat kinda looks like a younger Charlie Sheen?
Crazy kids doing dumb things: wtf lol lore be like: MatPat on the case
Mr T: I listened to this in my shower
45 Potato: Todays Minecraft YouTubers could learn a few things from matpat…
Rylan: Push the video to 10 minutes lmfao
Aliceinwonerlandvibes: Do stop searching or continue searching following theses guidelines?!?
ElbroGaming: Thank you mat! Great job with the list!
PoetYT: THIS is a huge reason I respect Matpat as much as I do. He is a responsible person and lays down a path that is clear and easy to follow so others can be just as great as him! We love you MatPat and thank you for addressing this as soon as you did!
Gundam Droid: What’s an ARG?
Starlight Studios: Matpat went full on Dadpat mode for this one. And I stand with it
Tori Manville: Man Geez Kids Need To Stop Doing That KIDS BE SERIOUS AND NEVER CALL OR BREAK INTO ANY PLACE AT ALL
Igknight dragon: I&#39;m glad you&#39;re addressing an issue like this. Thank you for helping to guild all of the theorists about proper ARG behavior.
05-[REDACTED]: For all the rules <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=9m10s">9:10</a> your welcome
Margaret: You handled this really well, nice job Matpat
Jazkal-V420: Bruh
jack is meme-ish: didnt see that happening
Mallory Embry: I respect Mat for addressing this so quickly, but man is that whiplash.
Ryan Davis: Annnddddd Mat remains responsible, genuine, and caring😎 Top-tier human being
Emely Mascote: Thank you for being an amazing YouTuber and addressing this is a right form !
Donald Ashford: Happy LGBTQ Month everyone! Let’s Get Big Tacos and Quesadillas Month is amazing!!
pendejo: Space theory channel when?
Yosher: It’s a damn shame that the theorist community has gotten younger as the channel grows older. I’m not blaming anyone for this, and I’m not trying to say things were better and that GT fell off, in fact, quite the opposite.
Lawton Carson(pixeldip 2.0): Yeah sorry Matt I went through the files and I just was to inexperienced enough and it almost drove me crazy really sorry
JoelTheBigMan: ...Ok dad
sheerheartattack: how many bots will reply to this comment?
Cyonu: He really gives that &quot;I&#39;m not mad just disappointed&quot; vibe
CanILooop?: Talking about books, I want you too look at the first one, the girl who is living with her grandpa, there is a poem about death, read that I think there is a clue for some lore, just my recommendation.
Viva plays: It’s like being a McDonald’s employee with the Travy patty
MrRazgriez666: I can&#39;t even imagine what it feels like to be Matt at this moment, to realize the immense power he and his community wield! To get this to even happen is insane and yet fascinating.
Olivia Rayner: Me, finally getting around to watching the fnaf video that’s been in my watch later playlist about 45 minutes ago: oh maybe I’ll like go on google street view, see if I can find something<br><br>Me, 10 minutes ago seeing this in my subscriptions: Oh. Oh no.
Cass: Matthias, who does project 863 had a similar issue with his story telling / ARG. He also had to do a similar video too. Glad you brought it up though, love the rules/solution. Thanks!
MrSteven156: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeForActMan</a>
The Hust: Is this the Krusty Krab
GreenBurning: Hey, is this Tony’s Donuts? I would like to ask if their is some weird animatronic related mysteries around your local town. I need to know this because it might maybe just possibly have to do with a shark in a game’s hidden story.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Also can I get a glazed donut
Skap: Oh Boy... FNAF
The Rick Effect: You got 7k likes in the 10 minutes it took me to watch this. Just wow.
宣义王: was in reddit, see this coming
Idontknow: Its like 10 PM where I live
sundragon3787: Wait what
MinusPlus2023: I swear Twitter is becoming the next 4chan. This is definitely a better apology video than what MOB/EnchantedMOB/GarbageMOB pulled. Don’t worry MatPat, you’re safe in our hands. We won’t let you get cancelled, no matter what Twitter says. Thanks for stepping in and addressing the issue before it got too far.
ashton: :) smile face
deep mind: If Matt gives me a kiss, i shall stop.
NUSEEN: Nah
Joy 09: just saw this video this morning<br>makes me giggle
Darkn4ss playZ: GAME THEORY PLEASE REPLY TO ME IVE BEEN HERE SENSE5 4 YEARS AGO
Jokerlyzer Media: Wow, can&#39;t believe some of the fandom took it to such extremes- All I did was investigate 90&#39;s maps.
SnarkNSass: Oh dear😂 We live in the future 😂😂😂😂😂
Allie: Matpat is such an amazing creator. He entered Dadpat mode &amp; put up this video fast. Also, instead of just apologizing, he brought solutions for the future. 👏🏼👏🏼
elongated orange: May Pat right now <br><br>I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize.
frootie: gosh, i thought it would&#39;ve been obvious to not contact actual businesses. like think about it; why would scott tell this one specific location about his super elaborate game lore? it just doesn&#39;t make sense.
Too Exotic: This feels like when my parents want to “talk” with me about not to do something
Haha Haha: xd
Janice Batain: Day 1 of asking grian to  make map art of a louding screen  in minecraft like to agree
Duck Audio: lol
Socko Jr: DadPat saves the day again
Akita: Did- did DadPat just scold us??
Cluckstr: sounds like my homeroom teacher
skott townzend: too late, found it!
bad at gaming: Very cool Matt. Very cool.
JellyJenny: Thats weird
Venom Bug: honestly expected. A significant part of the channel&#39;s fans are young and dumb. They wanted to get involved but were ignorant about how to behave.
Anth-Rax: Cool vid my dude
AFG: You have my respect mat pat I swear I will never Harass anyone and there are so many others that also swear. So we feel terrible about this thank you for talking about this!
Joel: I never subscribed to this changed
MJ2468lol Lol: :|
Hilda: I just listen to the theory’s, so I wasn’t part of this,
EinSym: It&#39;s literally only been 3 days 😭 what the hell
SheepDev: Ayo wassup I am not a sheep I am not a sheep I am not a sheep I am not a sheep I am not a sheep
Donnie_Lhee: Without a doubt this is why mat has never stayed &quot;cancelled&quot;. He apologizes and explains his mistakes clearly as soon as possible, unlike some othercreators who fake cry after a year.
SuperDominicS: I was just watching film theory
The Throwaway Moth: Man all I thought of last video was “huh, he will not be able to pronounce literally any town name in Utah if that’s how he pronounces Kanarraville.” I’m glad you said this tho.
P1X3LS: Mat pat went full teacher mode with the most saddest thing ever,we understand may pat
Lancrin: Well at least no one was wrestling a shark for info
Jameson H: Matpat literally one of the best YouTubers ever for addressing this as soon as he and his team possibly could, glad this is getting cleared up.
Jason Veren: Scott give him the answer so he can solve it and end the community interest in a  probably not arg
ArticShifter: Even tho mat did great with this vid, this is just sad on the community. Common sense should have told them this.
BloodCross: got to say You are officially one of my favorite YouTubers just because you can act like an adult and make it SUPER clear for your community that this is not acceptable :)
Mamodokod: Daaaaang Matt is looking DISHEVELED!
Curious Yoshi: o7
Maxwell Dimensio: God I love this guy
Ronald Arsien Cantillana: Is the psa
Pyroexitium: O-o
Kathleen Starr: were you flying to
•v•: Yeah I would think that it’s common sense that it’s just a game with hard lore to decipher. And that (hopefully) it’s not real. <br><br>(But with that Chunky Cheese missing children thing going around I think it won’t stop 🥲)<br><br>Please understand that none of this is meant to be real and respect the towns that it mentions because the games and the books were not meant to harm anyone of the towns or businesses. So just stick to the game and books please to save the rest of us the headaches.<br><br>I’m not being rude I’m just saying my reaction to this all out kinda insane thing to poor Hurricane. <br><br>So once again, STICK TO THE BOOKS AND GAMES PLEASE!!!!
Wojtek The Great: Genuine apology video where they&#39;ve actually done research on what went wrong and how to fix it.
Nintendo  fan: Thank you Mat, for telling the public about this. I personally was not aware or involved in this, but it was nice to know this so I can avoid this in the future.
Tiremymastre yeet: sorry mat
Tairafan: I jumped started the video. If you&#39;re about to tell the fans to stop visiting the post office, you should have expected this to happen
Xander Erickson: I don&#39;t know why, and I surely didn&#39;t deep dive into this arg, but for some reason I feel like I need to say I&#39;m sorry to Matthew.
JoeTEM: ik this is obvious but DONT DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL TO SOLVE a ARG for a video game but i think everyone clearly knows that
Ventanasde: “Everyone makes mistakes” ~Some random guy on the internet|
Nathan Keel: Honestly mat I respect that you addressed this because it was a big deal but it&#39;s nice your taking responsibility for it and taking some action to prevent it in the future and not just saying sorry
Strix: This. This right here? This video should be the TEMPLATE for a Youtube Apology Video done RIGHT lol
V1de0gam3r: He always smiles and never stops
Childrens Airsoft: This video feels like when you get introble for something you didn’t do
TheGamingCow507: Blame Scott, his franchise his problem
Tyler: Epic leather jacket Mat
Jonah Glass: tho this is a bad thing its kinda cool and also extremely terrifying that the Internet can have this kind of power. or your influence on the internet. really well done on addressing the issue. love your vids
Kara B: The terrozing of Utah has been stopped by DadPat, all jokes aside I was really responsible and brave for him to address it like another comment Said DadPat called the children to the dinner table to give a lecture on the situation
SYoshi: dadpat moment
Majin: Green screen mattpatt told me to do it
ffjfvfhu: So TLDR; everyone asked GameStop if they had battle toads again.
Johnathan Blankenship: Pls help me
Z Fallen Angel: Really guys
Mitch Coté: Mat, the responsible response to this is to not use your channel to solve an ARG that may or may not have been designed anymore. They are exciting in concept, but speculating about a potential ARG existing and sending millions of followers to solve it is not okay. Talking about them in the past tense is probably safe, but you put up a [Trailhead] for one that probably doesn’t exist, and suggested it may end up outside the bounds of previous FNAF hidden lore elements. <br><br>Maybe keep that kind of speculation to a Discord server or a subreddit, and save the videos for the story of how the community came together and found something worth sharing.
Trench: This is OBVIOUSLY clear that Mat was taken over and is trying to steer us away from the true answers
hannah: Another rule that should be in place is if your a minor please please please talk your parents/guardians/trusted adult if you want to go to a real life location. What the game plan needs to be will probably differ a lot based on age/location/etc but communicating with them is the first step to keeping you and others safe
MikeyM32_: I hope MatPat gains some respect from the internet for addressing this so professionally. I think MatPat&#39;s tendency to reach seemingly ridiculous conlcusions, as a theorist speculating on fictional stories should, puts him in a uniquely bad spot to make mistakes for the internet to highlight and ridicule. He&#39;s not perfect but I feel he&#39;s treated with disproportionate harshness when things like this happen.
Spooky Clown: &quot;If you&#39;re calling Domino&#39;s make sure you&#39;re calling Domino&#39;s for some delicious pizza&quot;<br>So don&#39;t call Domino&#39;s, gotcha.
Whitehawk: Speaking of Fortnite could we get another storyline theory befoew
BatgirltheRobin: Whose parents are allowing their kids to make these calls anyway? I imagine someone would have to be very young to think that’s okay…
Wren Dalton: It would be my personal recommendation as an ARG scholar doing their PhD to re-do this list for every single ARG you cover dependent on the ARG you&#39;re currently covering. If you intend to continue to cover these games, I&#39;d also recommend having someone on your writing staff who&#39;s intimately familiar with the 20 year history of the medium if you don&#39;t already have that. This was not an unpredictable outcome for someone who knew to ask the correct questions.
Sebastian Jose Blanco Raydan: OK, this is emotional crisis matt pat XD
TheSharky: Im the person who just watches it to get an idea on fan theorys<br>Im glad he talked about this tho
TinyCandleMan: Everything I see a notification turn out to be a couch video, my heart just drops. I&#39;ve been watching this channel for around 5 or so years now, and it still feels absolutely dreadful.
Wehttam Keogh: more poppy playtime
Xyzen: This is like you broke some glassware and your dad is scolding you... Dadpat is not angry, just disappointed
JayAyeOneToo: Respect to Mat for addressing this as soon as possible before things got so out of control AND for giving possible solutions in case we get close to a situation like this again 👍🏼
Shawn William: How about you STOP doing FNAF content for awhile and focus on other games 😗
Carter Stevenson: Honestly, you handled this whole unintentional ordeal really well; random, but I just wanted to applaud you.
abe-kun: Ok, now respond to the the &quot;Freddy Fazbear&#39;s Pizza Delivery&quot; virtual dining concept
BasketChase: Oopsie poopsie we fired the starting gun too early on an ARG we weren’t even sure existed in the first place pls stop now
BadMachine27: Honestly I was about to cry I’ve never seen him this motivated to do something other than to figure out the Fnaf lore when he told us to stop doing his basically life work oh my gosh the fells because if you don’t do this a lot of things will probably go way too far
Permafrost: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeforActMan</a>
Poisonheart96: Feels like Matpat has had to do a lot of this lately...thanks for laying down the law Dadpat! It&#39;s going to be okay!
Pheonix Flight: rule suggestion: if you are underaged, do not travel without your parrents permission. if you cannot get their permission then leave it to adults or those who can
Tselel: Thanks dad.
•☆Leo&Friends☆•: ✋️😔sorry
Alexwhatislife: Everything in this video is spoken with thought and intent, and you can tell that he is genuinely invested in making up for this mess that stemmed from his theory video. Not only is he obviously working towards making sure this doesn’t happen again, but he is addressing the situation with maturity and honesty. This is the best thing that he could have done, and I applaud Mat and the whole team for being able to take on this issue with a level head.
CrazyCrashGamer: Mat is scary when he&#39;s mad
Katsumi Skytower: dude. stop.    fnaf is a shitty old game.<br>nobody cares. it will never be relevant or popular again. stop talking about it. stop posting about it. stop thinking about it.  <br><br>get over it already.
Harman Singh: Who else is watching this without socks
The Logical Fallacy: As someone who is currently working on plans for an ARG I think this is really important.
P4!79: where&#39;s he going on the plane
Curious Yoshi: I like dadpat :)
FaultierHeart11: Right when the video started playing the hellkite drake on my dark souls game flew over the bridge.
AnonEverywhere: watching it a few minutes before i am off to school
Kaiser9321: “One person researching”<br><br>YOU HAVE A TEAM
Simon Gravel: 3500 something-th
Gracericon: &quot;Go look for clues!&quot;<br><br><b>Proceeds to do it in the absolute worst way possible</b>
W.D.G.H.: I do not why, but rule 3 kinda make me think in the &quot;arg&quot; of ben and end
TheLibermania: Can someone please tell me what an ARG is?
slightlyclueless: Ollie&#39;s got some excellent lectures in his future. 😅
Kean: I was worried when I saw multiple tweets about that video on Twitter, so I&#39;m glad this video was made to clear things up :)
Iradil The Skygazer: Honestly idgaf about fnaf so 👍
ZeroBeep: He did not fully understand the power he holds
Ar_Moon: ❤️
Tia Sway: I&#39;m very glad this got addressed so fast, I can&#39;t imagine how it would feel to be from a small town and get bombarded by calls from all over the place. <br><br>Another note on public places, if their is something physical and kinda big to find, the creator would have most likely gotten permission to put it there (like the gravity falls statue) so don&#39;t go digging through thick woods in nature reserves, you would be able to find it without disturbing or harming local wildlife and flora
Rosalie Simard: MatPat, you learn from your errors and what could pontencially hurt your fans. Thats why i love you
Julia Onlyfans: respect on him
UndeadRed: Well said, mat! Thank you for addressing this so swiftly and thank you, the fanbase, for understanding and not going this far, the majority of us know how to act responsibly and show the fanbase as the brilliant collections of minds it is ❤ I love looking through the comments and seeing the maturity, its refreshing in these times 😌
El Gran Beltrán: The power this guy has
Kaleidosque: They way he said stay curious at the end made my heart hurt. He’s like a dad sitting his dumb teenager at the table and saying “don’t go that far again, ok?”
Cloffy'sxLife: mad respect matpat i didn&#39;t do anything but this feels like those dad talks that like make you wanna apologize, game theorists don&#39;t do this please guys-
Temaj Moody: if you were told this without any context you’d think some trolls got a idea.
(𝕩𝕏-𝔼𝕣𝕚_ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕟-𝕏𝕩): To be honest I didn&#39;t know this even happened LOL
razor leaf: I&#39;m watching this six minutes after it comes out and there are already 3,000 comments and over 200,000 views.
Matthew Daye: Thank you matthew you should restart the hunt but with some  ground rules !
Ghost_of_GSM: Summary I made for myself (I still recommend you watch the whole video first)<br><br>Protocol for ARGs<br>Rule 1: Never EVER Publish Private Info (Doxxing just makes you look bad and a creep)<br>Rule 2: Stick to Publicly Available Info (No Hacking into Private Info, again leads to Doxxing which makes you look like a creep)<br>Rule 3: Be Safe In Public, Do Not TRESPASS PRIVATE PROPERTY (That&#39;s like going into a stranger&#39;s house without them knowing...just don&#39;t.)<br>Rule 4: Do Not Call Private Businesses Or Individuals (like the example stated by MatPat, call Domino&#39;s for Domino&#39;s pizza, not for game lore)<br>Rule 5: Fine One Central Place Online for ARG Discussion <br><br>I guess a thing I can add to the list is &quot;Remember Health Protocols.&quot; COVID is still running rampant, it won&#39;t be a huge problem in the future but it&#39;s still a problem now. Don&#39;t forget your masks and disinfectant.
MW: Also is Mat Pat growing a beard again?
•Natty Kat•: I&#39;m just bummed no one has solved Crow yet lmao
Ceilinh: I&#39;m sad that we need rules for ARGs, but glad that MatPat is here to spell them out for us.<br><br>And yeah. Doxxing is bad.
Vincent Sissom: Another general rule of thumb about ARG&#39;s is to look up the laws of the area where you&#39;re going.  Make sure your aware of the differences between your area and the area you&#39;re going to.  If you don&#39;t, and do something that is allowed in your area, but not allowed in the area of the ARG, you could be in a bad situation.  So, be informed.
Hellbringer Music: that was fast
WilldaBeast: I love how human this channel is. Many Youtubers are picking up on this and the ones that aren&#39;t should. Don&#39;t just acknowledge the mistakes, suggest solutions. Many others don&#39;t do this and I feel this needs to be a more proactive solution.
Sam King: who else watched this whole video but clicked out of the original one
Xperias: Ok
Cartoon Kelly: Not cool Theorist Community. We&#39;re better this guys.
DomBobomb: Sorry it had to come out like this, but yes setting guidelines so everyone knows the same level of interaction is important. <br><br>Thanks for jumping on this quickly and making a video, as I’m sure a lot of theorists wouldn’t catch it otherwise.
Kyreikal: But hey, that&#39;s just a theory! A commenting so the algorithm pushes this video theory!
notonlyfish: E
Fire Zilla: I didn&#39;t even think about calling businesses I just thought of Google maps and the mobile game files
MableGameplays: I never did the hunt because I can’t really contribute as much as I want to a lot I would love to make an ARG myself though because it seems really fun
Syzygy☆: No I was so excited for it to be a potential ARG!! :((
Tavyn: Me waiting on toy theory
Matheus Pimenta: This gave me flashbacks to the &quot;Keystone Motel&quot; situation...
cool pro: Very glad matpat addressed this, seen a reddit post about the situation and was myself shocked as well. Now that there are guidelines for ARG&#39;s in future, this situation shouldn&#39;t ever happen again. Much much love to all theorists out there and like matpat said, stay curious, but stay respectful as well.
kiyan: thank you for addressing this. your response was direct and to the point.
beans: a
christopher campbell: *Calls Chuck E. Cheeses<br><br>&quot;whar is freddy fazbeawe&quot;<br><br>&quot;What?&quot;
Redemptus Bintoro Naladewa: It&#39;s just 33 minutes ago but it&#39;s already have 200k+ viewers
goodman854: I don&#39;t think that&#39;s your fault that&#39;s the books fault. They should not have named those places. Place blame accordingly to it&#39;s fault.
Nutmeg: Atta boy Matt. Be straight but respectful, firm but gentle, and thanks for the heads up. You’re right, ARG’s have never had any guidelines before, so it’s great there are now set rules. Thanks.
Abby L: Mat looks like he needs to take a nap...  He genuinely is upset that an idea he had caused harm to the real world and he had to apologize for it.  But I appreciate the steps he has taken to acknowledge this issue and propose solutions for it
Pajazzmas: He almost missed his flight so he can address this issue. Well done, sir!
theoldrsftw: There is a new Fnaf website for virtual dining, maybe ARG is still possible to happen.
falconinthedive: Honestly this is an amazing video, codifying the unspoken rules of ARGs is super useful.
★𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐩𝐨𝐩★: BRUH
SplashCity46: Commenting to feed the algorithm to spread the word
ArticShifter: I miss common sense. Sorry mat and the team had to deal with this
Jeremy Gaming22: Thank you for addressing this MatPat.

AMGPlayz: When he make a &quot;couch talk&quot; he becomes judgemat cuz he put on the robe and grabs the gavel
OHall: They just need to cope.
Jobbes: Doxing sounds cool
Kosaku Kawajiri: On this subject I remember a story about the halo 2 ARG. Some absolute chad decided to answer a phone (Which was needed to complete the ARG) in the middle of a hurricane
Andrea Gardiner: Mat.I am on your side but, be VERY careful on what you tell Peaple to do.<br>Also I like cheese
Ishhhha: I’m glad Mat is addressing this! This is an embarrassing moment for the community for sure 😅

ThunderMtn: Lol,oops
deez comodyz: love the jacket

Cheezy: Uh oh, it’s madpat!!!
Xpath: I don&#39;t get it.
Iron Wolf: Dang, that was fast. Hope those places can change their voice-mail saying they don&#39;t know about FNAF.
Terry H.: I love you dad
UntamedGamers: hi could you please make a video on the lore of phasmaphobia because it seams like there is a story behind it
8soul wolf: matpat jacket game on point hair on the other hand -gives comb
Anenymous: Glad MatPat addressed this before it became something even more troublesome
Turtlesqwerty: I&#39;m so sorry I had no idea what happened
Soleil Star: Maybe another guideline could be don&#39;t be afraid to call others out (nice and polite ofc) if there&#39;s someone out on Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, wherever and they are not following the guidelines that MatPat put out don&#39;t be afraid to correct them, not publicly, just send them a private message and tell them or remind them of said guidelines
Great Gamers Guild: NOOO! This is Patrick!
Bismuthrine: Do you own a Nintendo switch?
Diarrhea Pantz: We did it, we made MatPat mad
King Trolldier Shorts: I guarantee it is gonna get worse MatPat.

DarkFireType: Is it bad that this is the closest that we&#39;re probably ever gonna get to when it comes to a modern day internet etiquette video?
Hyjinx: honestly not surprised that the “arg” is starting to get out of hand already.

Luke Smith: This took a lot of courage matpat a theroist is telling us not to do that I respect that
Willow: God dammit Dave
Pixelated tim: All the harassment of businesses just for fnaf
Vincentro: Otay!
ZomBro_BOSS: Feels like DadPat is talking here
Honey Daddy: I was seriously affected by this. I watched both videos and still haven&#39;t done jack to solve any of this potential ARG. That calls into question my self worth and value. It&#39;s all your fault, MatPat. but I accept your apology and forgive you.
Gacha Rosa: I feel like my step dad is scolding me and it&#39;s kinda unsettling
Curious Yoshi: Dadpat
JesusLvU: Kids are crazy
jamesthe27th: understandable
fridge frisk: What&#39;s a arg?

TheRobotofDoom5: Also, all love to ya Mattpat ! &lt;3
Little Byrd: <b>dadpat intensifies</b>
Daniel ibeawuchi: ok
Hissoka: Why do I feel like a middle child that&#39;s sitting at the family dinner while Dad yells at all the kids for something only the youngest did 😭<br><br>Also I absolutely love the fact that the most sincere YouTube apology video is MatPat apologizing for a FNAF related incident
Capichino jones: Felt like my dad was teaching me an important life lesson for a second lol. Love a mature Youtube channel
Keith _o: He just told everyone to stop just so he can go by himself and discover it first, thats why he has to catch a flight. A flight to utah my comrades, we wont let this american win, the soviets will find freddy fazbear first in the now deemed fazbear race
Myrmatta: Man, imagine if the government responded this quickly to issues.
Mitchell Kiteley: 6. William Afton is a criminal. Don&#39;t be a William Afton.
WynterWyngz: Glad you did this video
Epsilon Entertainment: Dang. Dad is not mad at us, he&#39;s just disappointed 😭
Go Guerrero: Something to add to the list... Quoting Philip Defranco &quot;Don´t be stupid, stupid&quot;
V0m1tcuPc4k3z_Uwu *°·°: The way he always starts these types of videos gives me the same feeling as when your parent goes &quot;we need to talk&quot; type of thing

The demented geese: I love how you are making it known instead of letting it go that feels really responsible to me

MintyGames: I hadn’t started to do anything for it and still feel I should say sorry
Asher Font: why on earth wood they do that
Haizou: Now i REALLY hope this is an actual ARG and not a rejected arg and just put it out for money or something so there are no clues
Amugus!!!!!!!!1!: E
Purple-Prince: To put it simply; <br>if you wouldn&#39;t want someone to do it to you, don&#39;t do it to others.<br>Speaking of ARGs, I do still hope Matt covers the Project: 863 series by Matthias someday
K-dawg: Lol I have no idea what&#39;s going on
Switchmanin Sowell: “And remember… it’s not just a theory, a RUUUUUULE THEORY! Thanks for catching up!
Susie Forest lily: Why does this feel like a dad telling there children they did something wrong I mean I didn&#39;t really care for the arg but I&#39;m sorry
Hyperion Red: I would add something about never getting violent. Like if the establishment refuses to answer your questions you should not repeatedly annoy or get physical with any employee or person associated with said establishment.
Kelp pleK: why does he look like hes gonna cry lol<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>e

Tyler Matheson: Luckily I didn’t even try looking
Almo gxchq🐀🐁: Matpat is literally one of the few content creators as of now who actually sounds sincere in his apologies and addresses his mistakes before things get out of hand. Mad props to him. On a side note Matpat gives serious dad vibes in this video lol
Winners: I like cheese.
TheFunnyGuy9000: I read the rules
Swanson Joe: Guys, he said it in the video himself, there’s no such ARG :l
imposter crew: I never done this so this doesn&#39;t apply to me but if I were going to do this in the future then this is useful<br><br>Btw I love you vids matpat
Jason Griggs: One thing that I absolutely love, and entirely respect about both you, matpat, and team theory is that whenever something doesn&#39;t go as planned, or something negative happens that you may have influenced, you make it your first priority to try and make it stop, apologize to those who were wronged, and spread useful knowledge to prevent it from happening again. My respect for you all is deeper than the trenches of the ocean measured from the top of the troposphere.
Rosey Witch Bee: MatPat is like the father of young Theorists, like how Philza is the father of young Minecrafters.
Shadow Libra: thank you so much for addressing this, it was getting out of hand
silva: dadpat came out for this one 😂
Crying cookie: Great video, but is your left ear bigger than your right?

Return31: MatPat is such a genuinely great guy. He sounds so honest, and the fact that he’s clearly rushing through this to get to his plane is a big sign of authenticity.
t00nland: Thank you for addressing this so quickly Mat! I kinda just watched the video and moved on, but I was starting to worry about how far some of the fans could have gone.
Midlifesword: Matpat is a great dude.
(𝕩𝕏-𝔼𝕣𝕚_ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕟-𝕏𝕩): Oof
UI Omen: I haven&#39;t even watched the episode lol
Cole Kiesler: MatPat: “I would like to address some issues of the FNAF Arg.”<br><br>Fandom: “The Game Theory man made a FNAF Theory video that’s not actually a FNAF theory.”
Probroprobro broprobropro: dadpat
M: M.
taylor johnston: I feel like mat treats us like children and honestly that’s not a bad thing.
Retro Fan-girl: I think this is the best apology video I&#39;ve seen on youtube lol
SirAlexander: Humans never not monke<br>Humans still monke<br>Humans big stupid
Potato Pitoto: Please stop talking about fnaf
Keith _o: 😂
Yummyanthony: Second he said I asked you to look into the mobile Fnaf 3 I was like ohhhh…..oh no
Dexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: whole issue here was blown WAYYYY out of context, as if Matpat wants his fans to wander into peoples backyards searching for FNAF clues.
Theodore Oatman: Never thought I would see a apology video from Game Theory
Blazeer: Cool
Ray Diluzio: Make a grounded theory
Abhinav Ramadurai: Respect for you for making this video. This could have escalated a lot and most youtubers wouldn&#39;t have done it this quickly
Personian: We just got a life lesson from our boy Mat
Laura Mauck: that&#39;s not MatPat. that&#39;s DadPat 😅 love it though
ParcormasterYesIknowIspelleditwrong.: Don&#39;t you just love being human guys? We never ruin anything ever.
Ava Rand: Dadpat really came out in this one 😂 but seriously I’m glad you made this
bornalive91: I&#39;m not even going to watch the video but how about we just stop with the 5 nights are Freddy stuff all. It&#39;s gone really old and at this point it&#39;s just running in circles and just stupid.
Samuel Bacon: The place we should look next is FNAF VR help wanted curse of dread bear it may hold some clues to solving the unanswered questions and maybe the help finding the lore on these books.
Nukestatic: Show this comment some love
Theorist  Thanks: Matt Patt is different because he makes sure his point gets across as he sends it on his YouTube channel. That way  everyone hears it.
Rayesha Sofyan: Did Game Theorist have discord Server?
Observer #008: Well said! I have been wanting to ask you this for abit now, What do you think of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23savetf2">#savetf2</a> movement? <br>(P.S i dont actually expect him to respond and i wanna know all your thoughts as well other commenters!)
The Silver Eevee: This can also be interpreted, at least for creators, as a guide to making an arg
Gamer’s Gamestorm: I’m glad he is addressing this

venice: thanks dadpat
Argentum Staar: Never underestimate a crowds&#39; ability to do dumb things. Lol.
fovo god of fear: Dadpat gives off the im not mad just disappointed kind of vibe
M. HaFiz: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=8m38s">8:38</a> this needs to be reminded more in a general situation... It starts with one person, and the rest will follow suit assuming it is okay because there&#39;s nothing saying that it&#39;s wrong, it shouldn&#39;t be a question &quot;ohh I&#39;ll be really quick about it, please...&quot; but consider the aftermath &amp; the butterfly effect of first action...<br><br>Also this goes without saying, but take the most utmost caution and care when going to unfamiliar places &amp; avoid going alone.
epic player123: Oh god.. never knew you were THAT influential over the fnaf community.
Kayla: The fact that he actually had to say this confirms for me that it&#39;s ok to have lost all hope in humanity.
RealMightyMiles: I ❤ U MatPat Videos
stevie: Great video MatPat &amp; Team! Thank you for addressing this so soon, and so clearly.
The Simic Combine: Come on guys, common sense here. Dont destroy the planet over a funny internet video, just like be respectful. Is it that hard?

Upshot: thank you for addressing the situation
safiya dopwell: I&#39;m sorry, I didn&#39;t do anything but I&#39;m sorry☹

Theweirdkoifish: Yes dad
Pog Champion: Just saw this vid it&#39;s been up for 26 minute&#39;s watching it now hopefully everything is okay, love you all =]
Ryan Hand: This is a misdirect. He&#39;s worried we&#39;re getting too close to the truth
Nico Di Angelato: pin this and get a cookie
mas8705: The thing I enjoy with Matpat is how whenever a mistake is made or if something needs to be addressed, he will be open about it rather than letting it just simmer and then something unexpected happens.<br><br>Other than that, just kind of a shame how everyone commenting right now is getting hit by spam messages…<br><br>Either don’t look at profile picture, or “it’s finally here…” or the what’s up app using the game theory logo.
RelenltlessGoat: DONT DOX politicians or public figures that you disagree with as well.. You agree with that mat pat?
guava88: No
Nob Man: Make a new channel named meme theory
Scott Horton: This is how you do an apology video correctly, I applaud you Matt 👏 👏👏
Scout: But I was gonna sit outside one of the businesses and constantly scream until they gave us clues about the arg
joey: well i mean you did make it seem like something was coming …
Willieanimations: No

Ender Wallice: And I literally just finished “internet story” too
Vintage Marion: Thank you. Just thank you.
NoNamegaming: (ex. bill from gravity falls)
Soobinlxvrr: I watched the other theory this morning and now I’m early to this 😭
C. Argelfraster: With great power comes great responsibility. MatPat and Team Theorist deserve some serious credit for facing this issue directly and doing what they can to prevent future problems.
Andrew Warden: 24 minutes ago
85man56: I know this is serious but I find the image of a middle aged chef at Dominos picking up the phone and being asked if they’re involved with a multimillion video game franchise involving dead kids absolutely hilarious
Friend Arin: Mat Pat, This was literally the plot of The Scoop... a person searching for a fnaf 3 mobile game based mystery in a real world place, where a person goes to an old pizza place to ask about Freddy&#39;s, and of course, finding out really fast this was the real world and not a video game. Mathew... you read this story... and decided it was a call for an ARG... how did you manage that?
Appleyboy: My favorite letter is E
Ahmad Zahid: Why though?
✨Adeline✨: This feels like those talks your teacher gives your class (no offense btw, not trying to be mean)
Komodo Hydra Dragon: It sucks that he even had to make this video. I feel sorry for all of the businesses.
Kyle P.: Oh god that&#39;s legit terrifying. I&#39;m glad MatPat is bringing this up
QuestionableHero: Matpat what have you done now it only gets worse from here
Eeperton: Damn, MatPat should NOT have to make this many &quot;apology&quot; type videos. I feel like his channel is being slowly overrun by sensitive twitter users. Please don&#39;t blame him for other people&#39;s mistakes and don&#39;t act like those mistakes are the end of the world.
Ozzy: 2 days ago ppl were shittin on Mat, now everyone&#39;s just like &quot;Yeah i respect him&quot; which i get (I also respect him for what hes done now and how quickly he made a response) but damn yall?? Switchin up SO Fast.
Crimson Sole: Matpat needs to explain to his audience how to act normal
YoHaNah Ramen: How on earth did this happen?
RaptorBoy TheBest: Seandwals  just uploaded Bowser Is NOT The Father! 1<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1dVIs5iymw">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1dVIs5iymw</a>.  You lie a lot now

Ben Gallo: NO
Jae Huber: So much respect to the team for making this video.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>(commenting  for the algorithm)
Gaise Lacek: I just saw his video that blew this all up yesterday and honestly I had no idea he would have to put out this follow up.  Wow the community is both committed and crazy… However mad respect to him for getting this out right away.  Folks, chill it’s just a game!
TheDramaLlama: Fanbase Screws Up pretty bad<br>Matpat takes the blame<br>We couldn&#39;t have a better YouTuber than him. You did great Mat!
NoNamegaming: no taking the final thing to find
4nt: idk Mat, if i knew the location of Golden Freddy in real life, that might be worth the risk :troll:
MajinRiley: Lol way to go MatPat
J Lane: Is this MatPat secretly forewarning us that he&#39;s gonna make an arg? If not then...please?
Cloveried: Matpat is definitely one of the most responsible content creators out there
Meu Nome É Dark: Am i the only one who found the tumbnail funny?
Michael Vick’s Dog: Given the fact this video was made 26 minutes ago
skull emoji💀💀: It&#39;s been 23 mins but already 183000 views???????
Jake: Never gonna give you up!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Lol rickrolled you...<br><br><br>...SAY GOODBYE!!!
purple Dragon: Ok 👍
joey: LOLLLLLLL.
Brutal Banana: Why exactly are you apologizing?<br>Not like you did anything wrong.<br>Tbh, this shouldn&#39;t have been an issue in the first place.<br>Also, thanks for the clickbait.
John Doe: Oh god it&#39;s the crying couch
Jesse: The arg got outa hand
grayleak: Smart video, well done Mr. Pat
FS Adam: He has a point
Mr_Marigold: This is one of the reasons I love Matpat because. He is completely honest and clear with us. He knows when to admit his mistakes instead of other creators who just ignore their mistakes and issues.
Gheto knight: also holy heck matpat is speed
Zomgits: use your noggins folks, don&#39;t do anything dangerous for a game.
Champus Clipz: Excuse me theorists... what&#39;s an ARG?
Epica_Destroyer: Hopefully the calls stop after this
Cheezus_Crisp: Thank you for saying something
brazenprogram1: I never participated in the Arg
BiZu-BH-82: Nice,
Oscar (ABEEFV): the fact you had to make this is seriously sad 😥
Caden Green: First- 3.1k comments later
Valydendor: I feel like this is something that shouldn&#39;t even need to be said.
Tribleman247: This has such &quot;dad talking to his kids before the parents go on vacation&quot; vibes 😂
GameBustoNaut: that was fast
Prock Studios: “Your scientists were so preoccupied with wether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
DragonCat: If this video will be referenced later on in future videos about ARG, should this video be renamed. To something like &quot;ARG etiquette&quot; just to help make it easier to spot or along that line?<br>Edit: changed from &quot;vr etiquette to &quot;ARG etiquette&quot;.
renzakijho RMA: jeez wtf did matpat&#39;s fans think
OzoptzGaming: Thank you. I was about to actually call one.
Retr0 Productions: you know its bad when mat has to tell you not to dox anyone
Rashid Lawal: In the words of Philip Defranco,&quot; Don&#39;t be stupid, stupid.&quot;
Michael Vick’s Dog: When I’m a new comment
Some Girl Named Sam: I hate how this happened, I feel so bad for those companies. Thank you for addressing this
lilshifty: hi
the   : matpat hates kids with autism
HoundLock the Witherstorm: Honestly, I’m starting to think my original theory on this issue is beginning to form some credence.<br><br>This WAS planned, but Scott left his flag post due to idiots threatening his unborn child, so unfortunately this thing HAD to be scrapped. <br><br>I’m completely unsure who’s going to be heading the FNAF series from now on, but I believe it’s becoming more and more apparent that this was never finished, and probably will never be finished.
mariocrazy550: Wow I had no idea. It got out of hand like that
HDCav3T0wn: that they did that is really messed up
Shiriaru Kita: I&#39;d just love if you guys stopped making fnaf videos in general. I think those games and stuff already got more than enough attention
Dylan Inger: Do a half life theory
twocheeky: me, an australian who did absolutely nothing wrong: :(

thejungleof stuff: I&#39;m sorry matpat I&#39;ll try to do better in the future
Saul’s Sodor: Mmm ok
tan: Hehe
AlurFest: this feels like getting yelled at by the teacher that never gets mad at you, just disappointed
Almo gxchq🐀🐁: Matpat is literally one of the few content creators as of now who actually sounds sincere in his apologies and addresses the situation before things get out of hand. Mad props to him.

Roberta: Nice vid keep working hard and making these 🔥🔥🔥 vids
Yurand Boi: Big W another phone disconnected
Froggy bean: Respect to mat to admit he made a mistake
Nicholas Poling: Some suggestions for rules and guidelines,<br><br>I&#39;m trying to remember an Activity we did in Venture Crew, I think it was called Urbanos,<br><br>You are given a map of an area s long with a little quiz of trivia about the area, sometimes wilderness, sometimes urban, with checkpoint markers with answers to the trivia, it was a timed race, if I could remember the name of the activity better then you could use that as a jumping off point.
CouchDoggo: This got out of hand quickly
Pingu-epic: Wow it got that bad? Thats crazy!

MrTacos: Bro is Speedruning this video

Pablo Freitas Machado: Wow. this blew up.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache: Mad respect that you’re addressing this as soon as possible because this could’ve escalated quickly and you even offered a great solution so the fanbase would stop before it got out of hand. Nobody could’ve said it better than you did.
Emon Emon: I was&#39;nt doing this?
Barb Mcelderry: This is what happened with Crow 64…<br><br>Except that was E-Mails.
道神恵: pizza hut is my favorite
Jazmine McEwan: What if the numbers we used to find Cassidy name is also coordinates? Just a thought? There&#39;s gotta be sum
DrCZDeath: I blame moviebob.
Chris E: Uuuuu what
HunterXHK: Great video and I like how you show understanding and compassion for those who are new to ARG.<br>These are fun as long as we do not cause inconvenience and problems to others.<br><br>Respect!
Texas Ball: Early
John100-1: Now who does that? Just take a “field trip” and check yourself.
Tuti: Scott be like: ummmmm... Yea, you have to know how to solve ARG. (Goes to cafe and says that they can&#39;t just leave clue there)
Raysandra Rexxia: TO BE FAIR, I personally wouldn&#39;t trust the internet to know how to act in real life...
Carl the artist: Hello internet! Uhh
emma bourgoin: And respect ! Respect other theorists and opinions (online or irl) , respect your seroundings like parks if ARG are in public spaces , respect all of the previous rules.
Jonathan Soko: I love wearing leather jackets in doors during the summer
Sneaky_Weasel: I didn’t even know this was going on!
Matias Medina: What is &quot;arg&quot; Google can&#39;t find it, has to do something with geo localization or something like that?
King Vengeance: As serious a video as this is, I can&#39;t stop staring at how Pat&#39;s hair keeps dancing around. Like he was seconds away from pulling his hair out like a Dad who&#39;s upset, but doesn&#39;t want to project it onto the kids. You go, Mat.
Jonathan Wilson: Matpat is honestly the best.
Worthy: W vid matpat
Carl the artist: Hello internet! Uhh
Gray水: I feel like I got a glimpse of DadPat
mrman: the scary couch video. I dread this moment.
Jontie cartoon: thanks for making videos of five nights at freddy&#39;s
SmokeWrldTour : “That’s not how making things work, work.”
Cryptz: props to addressing this issue fast
Carl the artist: Hello internet! Uhh
Andy Dandy: at the very least, go to these places! im sure that small town in the middle of nowhere Utah would love the tourism of those few hundred phone calls if you all went there and grabbed some pizza or watched a movie in between asking the locals about possible leads!
your boi sniperbroz: ok
Hawkeye117: One rule to add, if there <b>IS</b> some type of clue that requires a person to call, write, or visit a place, it will be firstly seen/given on official channels either by a known and trusted solver or by the creator or another game master. If Johnny calls a number that wasn&#39;t given to him by the/a game master or found in circulation by a known/trusted source in connection to the ARG, they&#39;re doing a bad.
Carl the artist: Hello internet! Uhh
Jiaxi hao: Are you sure ur not hacked?
ALEXANDER SANTIAGO CALDERA-MONTOYA: Again I’m asking for bug snacks theory please do it
FroggoTheBozo: I love how he immediately starts talking about it and stuff and is the one that said sorry even if it isn&#39;t entirely his fault
Birdsong231: It&#39;s truly amazing to see a YouTuber address a mistake made by the community. Not many would do the same, we all know that. Thank you, Game Theory, for being such beautiful rare gems in this world! ♡
NYL_IS _A_GOD: Yes chef, sorry chef
xxVoidofChaosxx: i have a Freddys Pizzaria near my house and theyve been getting calls for YEARS and i had to explain what it was to them.<br>The actual &quot;Freddy Fazbears Pizza&quot; place DOES NOT exist. STOP calling places that just have &quot;Freddy/Freddys/Freddie/Freddies&quot; in the name.
ace ツ: Matt Pat yet again, being the responsible father-figure he was always known to be 🫶
Geography Gaming: I feel as if game theory is so large that in the case of matpat giving some theorists the ability to help him it can be a little dicey.
Joseph Souther: Best for everyone to take this man&#39;s words to heart.
Claimed Apple: At first I thought kind of a bold headline after the last video...... but this is overwhelming truth and I respect Mat for catching on and fixing this so quickly.
Joaquin Alexander Valencia: &quot;Any resemblance with the reality is mere coincidence&quot;<br>Literally what appears on the cover of each FNAF book
Melody Young: I appreciate that you didn&#39;t just say sorry and then move on, but you actively took some steps to prevent future things like this from happening. I know setting up some rules won&#39;t necessarily stop anyone but having those guidelines at least makes it less likely and gives the community a more clear line for what is/isn&#39;t acceptable so they can better police within themselves.
Gheto knight: Matpat seeing an issue with his fanbase<br>millions of youtubers :ignore it<br><br>matpat boutta do what&#39;s called a pro gamer move:
Pink Program: This happened to the Steven Universe community.
Castiel Cruz: Here after 23 mins.
Ninjagamer6578: <b>Dadpat has entered the chat</b>
LIFEANDLEMON: Me canceling my tickets to the exact location pointed out to the books lol
The curios Caco: This feels like a safety lecture in a school gymnasium
Elroid Tiereon: MatPat deserves lots of respect, because he could just say &quot;don&#39;t do this&quot; and just leave it at that.<br><br>But he also educates his viewers in how to ARG. Beautifully done mate!!

SilverFable 1208: Thanks Matpat
JJWarner 7: ya can i get a large cheese pizza with some fnaf lore
Blaze: You are literally so caring and your nature of a dad was kind of showing which I thought was really cool. You just went &quot;here&#39;s a fun toy just don&#39;t do anything wrong&quot; and then the moment it gets out of hand you drag the kids back and teach them on how to be safer. Stay winning matpat &lt;3
SSneaky And Friends: Use common sense and think through things Before you do something.
Hedgie_Doll: Oh no the couch is in a thumbnail

fatboy5000able: WE DIDN&#39;T START THE FIRE 🔥 IT WAS ALWAYS BURNING SINCE MATT WAS CONCERNEed….. uhhhh I can’t find a rhythm that makes sense
jk awsome: Have we reached maximum dad pat
UndeadLink: Matt Is respectful and responsible for posting video on the discussion of this problem, admitting it, setting rules and addressing the fan base
Exalted_Space: Big props for mat addressing this right away (I haven’t involved myself in the Arg I’m anyway).
Justjames: no
✨Mush✨: Dude I’m glad he quickly got on this as soon as possible
TwitchyEyes: What .-.

weotu: DadPat has to have a talk with his netkids

Dr. Jones Gaming: So you upset that someone on Twitch ripped you apart for your Encanto mess too?
nun ya: You know mat pats right we should stop
PanMan: Hey MatPat I have a question <br>Can you do a theory about the Minecraft stories and present videos  of Aphmau because I think they show Easter eggs or a connection
EndXD3179: Yes sir 🫡
Polk-a Dragon: I can literally SEE the stress and tension in Matt&#39;s posture, poor guy.
Gracen O'Neal: I appreciate how Matt handles these situations. These videos really show how he has developed and matured on YouTube over the years (not to say he was ever immature, but that he has grown in handling these situations in an effective and respectful manner). Props to you, Matt!
robblequoffle: 22 minutes 🥠
Milo HoBo: Bump in the algorithm! Too important to skip
InquisitorialLove: And this, MatPat, is why you have so much respect from me. You care about your community and the world around it.<br><br>Legendary mate.
TARKATAN HUNTER: wow lmao, didnt even hear anything about this, thats nuts, cool mat was on the ball about this
zion_gamingz: do more videos about Fortnite because there&#39;s lots of lore.
Guts: MatPat, Mathew Patrick, you should take the ARG with a massive grain of salt, or many small ones, your pick. If the book was released on a whim and it is a collection of books that were never released because of quality reasons or whatever else could cause that decision, then the ARG may not be real. It may be real, but there is a chance that Scott released them without the ARG they were originally going to come with. Again, you should keep looking, but don’t feel to despaired if you come up empty handed
Iconey: Fnaf
Hajebde: Matpat is a cool guy, owns up to his community&#39;s mistakes, and apologises<br>respect
Marco Giannetta: I mean what did you expect to happen tbh...

koalba: Their subreddit even has a warning saying that &#39;please don&#39;t take this serious&#39;
Spik: It&#39;s really shows how much Mat cares about this comunity.
crazym1me: As someone who has done an ARG in the past, for the real place rule: TAKE SOMEONE WITH YOU! Never go into the woods alone (gravity falls arg I’m looking at you)! If you’re not familiar with the place, you need to bring a second set of eyes. As Unus Annus taught us “Use the Buddy System!”
talon Montgomery: This is so true mat pat😃😃
the what ever: This is off topic but the inscription arg whenever it becomes more real happened when you sacrifice and the blood is bringing it to life

Brandon Otto: Thank you for fixing the problem
Morgan Edgy: Matt, I know this gets out of all context and is completely offtopic but I beg you, as a YouTube community advocate, to address the controversy about Quantum TV. Looks like YouTube is at it again.

justarandomalt: This is what happens when a real life location gets mentioned in a &quot;lore&quot; book
SpiderSparky: Not a lie, as a FNAF veteran. I don’t think there never going be a FNaF ARG because of what happened at around before FNaF 4 release.
nykesia Jones: I love you!! Your such an inspiration and a wonderful role model!
BOXY BOO: STOP THE ARG!!!!! Edit: Ty for the like I&#39;ve never gotten a single like I just like my comments by myself
borusara texter: dams 150k views in under 20 min<br> so quick
Madam Platypus: “Please, never harass anyone.” I think you forget what fandom you’re talking about, MatPat. (It’s been nearly a year to the date, in fact). Still, I do admire your compassion and optimism. Isn’t that a bit from Dayshift at Freddy’s? “Kindest show in gaming” or something?
Sam: DadPat is disappointed 😢, love the guide lines you set out mat way to be the responsible dad!
Tyler Hyde: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23mattdidnothingwrong">#Mattdidnothingwrong</a>

Fam Angus: meow
Frozenfire darknight: not gonna lie, we should&#39;ve seen this one coming.<br>if these were gonna be very popular and important to many of us, we should&#39;ve thought of what the consequences are for trying to solve this..<br><br>that goodness Mat stopped it before it got worse. and All because of killer robots

DesolatorMagic: On the next episode of Mat Pat doesn&#39;t know how the internet works
Azrael2018: He looks disappointed in the thumbnail
JadeToniRitsa L: Respect. Him getting on top of this so quickly says a lot in itself. And him being responsible for his own fandom rather than completely divorcing his influence from their actions is really cool to see.
Kayla Meisner: MatPat apologies for the internets stupidity. Love this guy man. S tier YouTube apology
Crystal Fier: This. This, right here, is why I have such a deep respect for Matthew Patrick. This is how you apologize, this is how you move forward. Thank you, Matt, for doing this and setting some hard and fast rules to these investigations. 💙

Battali3: At first when I read the title i thought it was going to be like,&quot;oh shot we solved the arg,cool beans,&quot;boy was i wrong
Jonathan Marshall: Whelp, we had to invite the clowns to the community at some point. At least Mat is on top of the mess. Okay all logical thinking theorists please handle the FNAF ARG. Mat is going to be busy cleaning up a mess for the next few days.
Star_SFM: Its amazing how well he handled how serious some of the theorists were taking the lore, instead of just saying &quot;stop&quot;, he actually explained why and how this needs to stop. Well done Matt, huge respect to you.
SonicDa TalkingBall: MatPat: <b>says something important</b><br>Me: <b>hears he’s going to el salvador</b> EXCUSEZ-MOI ?!

StockSounds: Anyone else know this was bull from the start?
Aqua: stuff like this is why MatPat is one of the best YouTubers<br>so nice and thoughtful and unproblematic and he really cares about his fans and community<br>keep it going MatPat
Games in green: Another rule: (it’s quite obvious but still) never give your personal information to “solve” a part of the mystery
Onette Torralba: Man matpat is such a great dude he is more respectable than the other &quot;YouTubers&quot; he is a great role model
Jasmine Lewis: Make a theory on dragon ball ball Xenoverse 2 it gets complicated when you get to the dlc <br>(All I want is a timeline theory again)

Nightmare: Hi dude
Poggy: Very mature. Taking responsibility, apologizing, and preventing further harassment.

GhostRooster: mad respect matt
NeroIsntDead: Scott Cawthon after killing a bus full of children for his ARG:
Tomoko Ashi: Be safe on yer trip lad.
Enigma Productions: That&#39;s just a theory...A GAME THEORY!!!!!!!!
Tavyn: I have a idea for a 4th channel.<br>My idea is maybe toy theory. In toy theory you could look at like popular toys like legos, idk. Just a random idea i was thinking about in the shower lol.
Super Allstar: I&#39;m glad he made this video. It was getting out of hand
Fel Anderis: Whoever calls Dominos shouldn&#39;t expect delicious Pizza.  It&#39;s the place you call when everything else is closed ;)

[JustArandomKid]: Hi matpat
CRAZYnerd: Respect
Legion: Talk about putting a bandage on a dumpster fire
ChrisCa: I feel like I’m getting in trouble bye a teacher
Evelynify: The couch 😟
James: Think you could add something like &quot;Do not ever stalk a real person because you think they&#39;re part of the ARG.&quot;
Chandler Haggart: I commented on every video now. I spent 8.3 hours doing it<br> Please help me
**the definition of gay panic !*: Respect Alot of respect To this amazing man .v.

vesse: Yeah, what the hell, this isn&#39;t Cicada 3301
silent bot: oh noo
Rex Meredith: Lol this came out so quickly after the last one that means that the problem was pretty bad
ShadowLord: Early
Battali3: Respect to Matpat for not letting it getting out of hand mad props
splendid gaming: Matpat please give me my family
Xian-64: ARGs will pretty much always remain in public spaces or spaces within that universe&#39;s lore and story. <br><br>Taking pieces from the universe and seeing if any IRL (in real life) places, physical or digital, might correlate to the story. <br><br>Also, the community works together. Before starting, it&#39;s wise to unite as many puzzle solvers as possible in one place, like one Discord server, and have a specifc notation so that everyone can be brought up to speed, or so that tasks can be relegated to trusted/experienced individuals. <br><br>Thanks Matpat for this video, it&#39;s a learning opportunity.
Aiden Koch: You know you never realize how much power a man has until something like this happens so I&#39;m dropping everything and matpat is my new God
Leo JS: Yet you’re never gonna apologize for all the transphobic, sexist, fatphobic and ableist jokes in your videos huh
MrMidas: Not only did he take the initiative to address this issue, he also didn’t monetize the video
phineas a: PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!II!I!I!I!
hunters..trauma: I feel that another important rule would be to make the ARG fun for everyone, and not discourage someone if they had gotten a puzzle wrong or didn&#39;t find the clue first. I am really glad that you had addressed this before it had gotten anymore out of hand.
D3ZB0Tlol: I think that there is one very important and obvious rule that he just didn’t even mention, though many of the rules are branches of this one. Don’t do anything illegal.
Anne Solynn: Lmao the fact that this has to be addressed shows that kids and nerds have absolutely no chill 😂
Nielsu: big respect mat gigachad move from u &lt;3
Alan Magallanes: Hog Rider
astroidpine 216: The Annoying thing was, I actually found things in the fnaf 3 troll game files and was about to post on reddit lol.
Parahelion: This is why ARG&#39;s are fun to do by yourself or with a group of friends.
Candlists: Thank you for making a response, I can&#39;t go to twitter without you getting blasted with hate.
BigMike Magnetic Hunter: You covered most of everything I could think of for how to be respectful with ARGs, I would have used different words... but that&#39;s just because my way of speech is different. Older generations taught ways of speaking
BOONRETER: Hi im just early and idk what to say
A M: Lmaooo
MandoGrando: Makes sense, it is very thoughtful.
C00lB01: E
Brook The Mudwing: Respect Matt, you really address the issue effectively
Trae Odom: Thank goodness you addressed this issue this did get out of hand thank you MatPat
Fitted Spots: damn. didn&#39;t know this happened. wtf why did yall get so out of hand <br>i say yall cuz it wasn&#39;t me hrm
ponce family: Oh never knew.
MalaVolpe: Thank you for addressing the issue!
Sonic In A Jar (VauntedSpecialist RAR): Phew<br>Glad you addressed this man.<br>You&#39;re honestly one of the best content creators. You&#39;re able to admit your mistakes.<br>Mega respect.
gothmedli: building afton 💪💪 🐇🐇 william will be real in 83 seconds
Noctavis: i have insane respect for mat because of this. he adresses his fanbases issues instead of ignoring it
Warlord: If Mat sees this I would like to say thank you for making me happy
jdrog97: We should start caring him MadPat lol.
SwiftBlade4: I saw this issue coming from a mile away.
LilyOfLuck: 6: Have fun! If you&#39;re doing something that&#39;s making you uncomfortable then leave immediately. ARGs are supposed to be fun so make sure it is
Kai: Could we also talk about NOT involving emergency services of any kind? Like, calling up local police and asking them stuff? They&#39;ve got things to do. And ensure if you are going into a PUBLIC SPACE that you HAVEN&#39;T BEEN TO BEFORE, you notify someone or take someone with you. It&#39;s easy to get lost and it would be a real shame to see any fans get lost trying to find clues to something.
raposo animador: I&#39;m here in 15 minutes :D
Bratty Maggie: yeahhhhhhh you can’t trust a hardcore fandom to do……..anything. as soon as i saw the video i was like “welp. this is gonna go very wrong very fast”
dusk: Couchman YouTuber!!
Drunk Spartan: Boys don’t stop
kristina bailey: I didn&#39;t really join this thing anyway but I&#39;m it&#39;s really bad to harass ppl<br>So everyone out there doing this please<br>Stop
Christian Brookshire: I love how mat keeps finding a way to always teach us something even when something has gone wrong
AbyssalArt: Off topic, but will you ever do a video of the second arg? It ended in the reveal of royal’s boss fight in the Kaycee’s mod but I was an archivist in one of the main groups that solved it :]] so it was p fun- could be a nice lil video for a little arg
FatherBenW: wha? FNAF?
 Michael Millmor: glad to see u back always puts a smile on my face
Sacred Trinity: Y’all are children…
Mony Pio: Honestly, I remember me thinking &quot;Maybe a warning about not go into private spaces should go on this&quot; when the first video came out, because it was referring to real places in living spaces and it&#39;s crazy how things can go wrong with the internet. But it&#39;s really great that they address it and apologize, really a responsable team, kudos to all of you!
sponkz: Thank you for addressing this and shutting this down while you still can, really sorry this happened Matt!
BedrockCastle777: You know MatPat is serious when he puts the shitty vignette filter on screen.
Opossum: Props to you for addressing this, Mat!
Blazebella: We don&#39;t deserve Mat. He goes out of his way to talk about important topics and he fixes accidental mistakes that he makes.
Hermy Rios: You can definitely see the fatherhood in this one
Zantorm: OoO
Shadow Phantomess: One thing a friend of mine and i did was when we are roleplaying a show we like right now, we keep trach of who we have and stong in a google sheets document where we have all character info so we know whos who and how they are related and stuff, iff possible you could try and get the community to access something similar and add info all together, just a thought 😋
Syndrome: W MatPat
Jack Fox: I will not stop... Looking in the coloring book. I still haven&#39;t found anything....
Loushendrik Yung: 3days was enough for us to do this. My god we are a bit too passionate.
Dxuser5: phone guy moment
George Schroeder: 20k likes in 15m. You the man MatPat
Caleb Schmidt: honestly ppl should already know to not do this
MrRejex: I&#39;m honestly curious if Matpat is Computron in transformers, if he is then thank you for being my favourite childhood combiner!
bud blake: Ah naw he in DadPat mode
bread bee°•: Though I wasn’t aware of this incident going on, I respect MatPat &amp; will happily follow all the rules he listed. I also hope the rest of us in our community will do the same &amp; find answers in a proper way that doesn’t harm or bother anyone else. (:
phineas a: Make an Eternal Cylinder theory!!!!!!
LordBunka: What did I miss!
Dovah Rahgot: Idk anything to add but I&#39;m so glad you made a video cuz like you said it&#39;s much more accessible to those who saw the 1st video I feel a lot of things like this happen where something goes wrong and those responsible/had a hand in it addressed the issue but they did it in a separate forum where it would get washed out really quickly cuz as one who didn&#39;t take part but watched the video to circulated I would have never known
AIEchidna: This makes sense. Glad you think so. I forgive you MatPat!
SomeGuyOnTheInternet: Can we still rip apart the game
Bastardized Brilliance: I love how you can tell the subtle signs of &quot;why is it always FNAF!?!?&quot;
German-Swedish-American VinceCuh: E
Avery: Ok but Wilbur ARG apology when? You hurt the DID/OSDD community.
Matt Spencer: mad respect on publishing this video
Nicholas Chu: Yes
Doge: Oh so he wants us to stop? Look how many videos you’ve made man
Raptor Ruler: Jeez man i didnt know this was going on oof I went on google maps and got frustated because I couldnt find anything but still oof.
Izea the Noelle main: I sadly knew this was gonna happen
Willows_Wings: You know it&#39;s serious when Mat Pat doesn&#39;t even do his hair.
Giro98: Mat: Help me with this fnaf hunt that could be a teory<br>Mat now: please STOP
Loading: oh boy
Bunny_Bean: I think this goes along with like every point but might as well try to contribute: don’t bother anyone who’s not associated, it’s cool to bring friends and fans in, but if someone is clearly not into the hunt or just someone in public we shouldn’t bother them, no matter who they are and what they are doing💛
GrayishGamer: Basically he’s telling everyone to STOP BEING STUPID
Apple: No, never
TeoDaGreat: Oh no he&#39;s on the couch
Ryan Harrington: When is the game theory ARG coming out?
Siez The Moment: Cheese
Anusha Shyam: I really did not think this would happen even though I am not looking into this arg
Bottle_of_air YT: Damn,youd expect detectoves of the internet to be smart but instead have a collective braincell of 1
blak64: Wow, 15 minutes and already 100k views, well, i think peoples saw your vid mat! Well  done ig!
Manga child: I’m confused matpat😅
Madilynn: Sooo... not gonna address the fact that there probably isn&#39;t a FNAF arg to begin with, or even deleting the previous video because not everyone will see this and call off the hunt for the arg?
Eric Guardado: Yo mama
Autisticcat: Please cover phobos!!!
A. Dykeman: He really should’ve seen this coming. Promoting an ARG that wasn’t confirmed to exist was deeply irresponsible, and not something that should’ve been done.
Historic History: I recommend pulling the original video and editing it down then re-uploading
Christopher Holmes: What is ARG?
Someone_Sweats: Ok but seriously who thought it was smart to call businesses? I feel like this should be common sense? Also this isn’t meant to be malicious, I just want to understand…?
A: Just curious. Are there any theorist in CDO? On the slimiest chance an ARG sets a location here, I want to know if I&#39;m not the only one
Angel Dust: It&#39;s not a game theory it&#39;s a public announcement
Michael Layne: Beep
Talkman 103: I don’t even know what happened but I really appreciate how he uploaded the video to try to stop what shenanigans are happening. I’m very sure we will see this referenced a lot in ARGs.
Anthony Charles: Thank you MatPat  for addressing this before it went out of hand.
Retro64: Dear MattPatt you don&#39;t know me  but I have loved any And every single theory and even with multiple re watches like the wall-e feast of flesh I still loved them. Your channel and support of theorists helped me trough Manny things in my life and as my birthday coming up I want to thank you for the 10 years of magic you have provided. I hope you respond to me may you and you family have a great continuation of all changes and your lifes . thanks brenner
Dorian beaver: Matpat gave you a rock. He didn&#39;t said to throw it at a guy&#39;s window, yet you did it anyway.
MinecraftBuilds PlusFnaf: &quot;Don&#39;t call Dominos asking if they&#39;re part of the FNaF universe&quot; Mighty ironic timing right here
yolo: Rule 6 don&#39;t eat a spicy  toca bell bourito a 12:00pm  it ends  bad
AzureJoems: I&#39;m glad he responded to this quickly. On a completely different side note, you look great in that shirt and jacket
SourSweetHeart: I think the problem is that ARG&#39;s are meant to be solved by a community, and by conversations, and not by trying to figure it out yourself to be the &quot;smart one.&quot;
Feather: Dang. That was really mature and responsible of him. I know of so many  YouTubers that would’ve just stayed silent about something like this
Tarti Sweet Gaming: brb gonna go hunt for some fazbear clues irl
Gage Ritchie: I respect him and how him and his team handled this
Brian Nathaniel: Bell gang
Ferris Film: This video just left Matt open for a plethora of lawsuits. Yikes
Lukewarm79: As a beginner ARG creator, I will be sure to take these guidelines into account when working on my ARG.
Scraphead: Stop the FNAF <del>ARG hunt</del><br><br>Fixed.
Madison Bridgers: This is not mat pat. He has on a black jacket not his red one.<br><br><br><br><br>/j
yolo: Rule 6 don&#39;t eat a spicy  toca bell bourito a 12:00pm  it ends  bad
AndrewsHomeOfGaming: The is like my dad talking to me in a nice way because I did something wrong
Clearskies: Thank God
Mikey Love Youtube: I love love this dude and all his channels but the way he just said clues at like 41 seconds was 1 second was hilarious and I had to back it up like 6 times either way love the content and everything this dude does just had to say it have a great night everybody
Natal: Matpat is on the couch.  Oh no
SugarCube3: I was so confused when this popped up . . . Then Couch-pat showed up and all I could think of was “Oh s***! What happened?” bc when he gets on the couch, u know it’s serious.
Kole Rotter: I’m happy about how fast he posted a video to tell them to stop
Spooky Man: thank you for the clear up matt, that couldve ended terribly so im glad you were able to end it here before it truly got out of hand
Rafus The golden minecart: Mad props to matpat
Overseer: I love potato&#39;s
the trash guy: This 8s 14 min old what about you
Trevor Lloyd: Thank you for apologizing, I appreciate it.
Cørñ Døgź: Dadpat more like dat

PrinYT: 13 min early
Kor: E
blackdra2000: Ha ha (Nelson&#39;s voice)
Evan Donofrio: I don’t have many of the games and have none of the books, but this series is great. This all started by a couple robots attacking a guard, and then chucky cheese to this, Scott has done a lot, and so has Game Theory.
Savage Gamer: I didn&#39;t know that doxxing was involved!?
Havvik: 6. There will be requirements for solving an arg that you may not have, the creator isn’t attempting to be noninclusive. Please do not backlash at them simply because you lack resources or capabilities. It’s not “bad puzzle design” it’s about being interesting enough to continue while not holding your hand. (Look to the overall community to assist you when you cannot solve parts of it)
robin: dude not only called out his fanbase but also gave a solution kudos
Wilder Uhl: Yikes 😬 thanks for putting the brakes on this one.
Tonbo Bugashi: With great power, comes great responsibility. The same with popularity and influence.
Patrick Holtz: I just watched the other video and this came out as i finished it LOL
Chobi Spider: well that was quick
insanity gaming: really guys I&#39;m disappointed in you
zmbgrl: So glad he even gave solutions to the problem and not just address it. Mad respect
Not Claimed: Gimme likes.
Dergy: I mean I do love the ARG solving, but taking it too seriously, realistically, making it a problem for everyone, is not fun, some do not take that into account, I&#39;m glad that you made a quick response to this, in a logical way.<br><br>Remember if its an ARG, remember this. &quot;Follow the rules given here, Don&#39;t go committing crimes for something that ain&#39;t true, always stick to the ARG never go overthinking it., keep public safety, your own safety into mind.&quot;
Phoenix: This is very mature of you Mat. Kudos towards you man.
KINGZZGrave: I&#39;ll think about it
MakiRoll87: poor mat pat, he makes these kind of videos too often, stop giving him reasons to make them
Noted: Is the Secret an arg
Soomi Tsunami: pin or trash
Ti: If you don&#39;t have a fourth. Do debunking conspiracy theories!

catcat20a: when i first read the title to this video, i assumed that the arg was being stopped because it genuinely wasn&#39;t finished or didn&#39;t even exist in the first place. it was like a light slap on the face. when i actually clicked on it and heard why it was actually being called off, it was like a second, harder slap on the face. as a loyal watcher of this channel and lover of arg&#39;s and confusing lore, i never expected the fanbase to get so out of hand with this. props to matpat and the team for catching this and adressing it!
MemoriesGamer612: Internet is most powerful thing use it responsibility
Novsev: Not to be that guy but I knew this would happen😂
Jamms22G: He literally said exactly not to call places and stuff didn’t he?
E-Gress: What happened? (Besides all the bots on this video)
vreen mario: Lol
Phantom-Oblivion: Mattpat and his team are the GOATs for nipping this in the bud so quickly and efficiently
Justin Power: HOW DOES HE GET MILLIONS OF VEIWS IN MINUTES
animefan616: that outro was beautiful
ZBird: MatPat, 45 minutes before getting on his plane: &quot;STOP. JUST, STOP.&quot;
Daniel Ferrieri: Important Question: Does Team Theorist Ever Take A Day Off, Or A Week Off or Taking A Break from YouTube?
Cat: Hi
LimitLuL: I hate to say it, it&#39;s kinda sad that MatPat had to say this.
Dorian: One thing I think Matt should add is that like omega mart  they’re might be some locations that are part of the ARG but remember to not trash anything or vandalize the place
SuperStarWarrior: Random comment
Jacob Andreas: Y&#39;know, I think MatPat and the gang should make a Discord for the community, if they haven&#39;t already.
Cosy: Or this is just apart of the arg and trying to throw us off 😳
cOolsKeLeToN95: Matpat being the best one again
Camie: I got so nervous when I first saw the thumbnail, I&#39;m glad nobody&#39;s been seriously hurt. Props to MatPat for speaking out
I Ü when you're in my notification: Ü
Rachel _Ever: Although nobody had no bad intentions, I do hope that everyone do reflect on their actions since this could have really caused real big disaster for the companies themselves and for MatPat and his team! But thank you for reacting very swiftly, MatPat &amp; Team Theorist!! ☺️💚
insert here alot of eye emojis: Im just replying to see if i get bots
Lilium: Mad respect, you&#39;re always on top of this sort of thing Mat!
X-gamer_14: Thank you for addressing this before it got out of control🙏
MochiTeaBunny: I was wondering when he’ll address this in a video once I saw him trending in Twitter for awhile I think yesterday?
Darth cupcake : Hey at some point if the act man situation keeps going on maybe you could make a vid on it since moist critical just made a vid on it maybe you could make YouTube do something
Loaf: Mad props to you for addressing this before this got out of hand. Way to respond responsibly towards an unintentional issue.
MarionettePuppetMaster: Well I glad that you&#39;ve addressed to this whole situation before it gets worst.<br>We all want everybody to be safe and not being in danger. Big respect
Educated geese: You know its serious when mat pat wears the black jacket
Dr Cowbell: This is an important list. This is why I don’t participate in things like these, my anxiety would always panic on what is and isn’t acceptable even with common sense in the forefront.
Smile Loaf: LMFAO
[ Space ]: Glad to see this
Jack Nicholas: He should&#39;ve also added not to spy into private properties. It might not be as bad as trespassing into ur nextdoor rundown pizzaria but I think it&#39;s worth mentioning.
フライングアッシュ: I want more and more lore give me the tea 🍵
dina_sourrr: 11 minutes early letz go
Lucien Death: this is one of many reasons why im subscribed to yer channel 🍻🍻🏴‍☠️
Santos Vazquez: What about the books maybe there&#39;s a kid one and it&#39;s going to be out it&#39;s going to be a five nights at Freddy&#39;s
BabyZeno: - Research to confirm the ARG is real and is confirmed a valid activity.
DanGambs: Not the couch video we wanted Matt
Chris EJ: Maybe chill with the fnaf content?...
Ranger Zickle: Has Austin made a new video yet?
JayeMover_16: Didn&#39;t something similar happen with the phone number on the card in Squid Game? I heard it on the radio. I think the phone number owner got compensation, too.
NoxxYC: i love how its not even confirmed that there even is an arg yall just be assuming cause he thinks there is
BOOMKING PLAYS: Love from India matpath
TechnoAlchemist: MatPat is going insane from FNAF. He should take a break from it.
marcosvargas97: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=0m37s">0:37</a> Aren&#39;t the stories on that book actually not canon?
Blockrow: this is hilarious that this happened, I honestly can&#39;t believe this would happen lol
stars and sus: Wait what why where no?
Burr Leezy: This is his way of saying yall need to keep the videos games online and stop harassing folks in real life lol
Atlus.mp4: 🫡

snayil: i never heard of such robot bear enthusiasm
tristan jackson: I miss the old days Matt pat when your Chanel wasn’t loads of FNAF I used to watch every video you dropped. You<br>Keep doing you though. Fingers are crossed for another Minecraft deep dive into the lore ❤️

Petra Ral: ´p
Wub: 2,403th comment
TheGameSalmon: Thanks for addressing this Mat! Great idea to make a set of guidelines when engaging in ARG mysteries
Emms Klooz: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&amp;t=8m30s">8:30</a> Don&#39;t call them to tell them they&#39;re your favourite pizza place either ;)
Scrappi: it’s crazy that this even has to be said.
soya milk: honestly... what else did we expect from the majority of the fnaf community nowadays
Hello God it’s me Sara: Thank you for being able to get this out so quickly
Logan Hunton: I&#39;m actually really glad this was posted bc I didn&#39;t know a lot of this information. Thanks!
little ruby night soul: 11 minutes ago?! damn im early for once
Spartan 8676: Would  kinda annoying being payed minimum wage at a pizzeria and getting 100s of calls asking about dead children from a video game
Random guy: why am i this early
Jex Marro: Matt is on it. Way to go man 👍🏻
DudebladeX: Undoubtedly, Twitter&#39;s hate base will ignore this because they focus more on MatPat&#39;s mistakes than what he owns up to.<br><br>Mad props, MatPat. It takes a lot to own up to something like this.
Glitt Cake: i dont think anyone saw my post about me possibly finding out what stinger moot could mean i can spell out training rooms
Yammy Crow: This is what we call &quot;Great content creator&quot; he takes responsibility and even taught us about it.
chartanaut: unfortunately pure discussion vids like thise arent really spread by the algorithm, but the theorists are gonna try to spread this throughout the youtube community
VoidyVoid11: Man, I still remember when fnaf fans did something similar years ago to many, manyyyy pizzerias.
TJ TMF: here before 1 million. knowone asked and i dont care
Kenneth Villanueva: Well done.
Aiden Todoroki: Excellent video, but, If I were you I should change the title for upcoming theories that brings this kind of themes, love you Mat. &lt;3
kubye : ok
Da Peanut Butter: I don&#39;t know what a ARG is but I assume it means Awesome Rocket Grandma.
Tuan Nguyen: Monetary compensation?
Octoparty !: Just graduated today and I came home confused to this video😅. but I am still glad he uploaded today :3
jaydenverse: thanks for addressing this mat, we appreciate it!
Gaswe: The simple solution is that you don&#39;t make innocent strangers and businesses a piece of your puzzle which happens to be a multi million dollar franchise puzzle that is targeted to children and young teenagers. Extremely disrespectful and immature of the author to include all these real world places for the readers to &quot;investigate&quot;.
ZeeeCoral: watching this felt like watching your sibling get lectured for something by a parent. its not directed at you. you know you didnt do anything wrong, but you feel bad anyways
Mrbigsta: In other words, most ARGS should be taken with the upmost safety, even if it seems like it, never <b>EVER</b> violate anyones privacy in the name of solving your little arg or whatever.
Nathan Jereb: Glad you adressed this beford it weng too far
Tyler Trends: How the heck do you get a certent a persons phone number who live miles and miles away
Roberta: Who else just randomly started watching him now it’s an every day thing
Starr Dustyy: I just saw the bell notification, and tbh i have to agree. I&#39;m glad MatPat puts this in the light before, well, God forbid anything happen really.
Kayley Rapp: Another rule for going to real-world locations: always use the buddy system. Take someone with you when exploring, or at the very least, tell someone where you&#39;re going.
Emo_RabbitB0Y: I just remembered something about gravity falls arg a big problem that happened was the bill cipher statue was actually on private property I can&#39;t remember why it was but that&#39;s the reason it&#39;s not there anymore
Broken Shadow: Tf is an ARG?? XD
nanahcuB nimajneB: As an additive to number one: a proper ARG should never ask for you to share YOUR personal information or ANYONE ELSES.
Joana Lopez: What a legendary performance
Q: Amzeing response mat
Isabella and Kooky House: I like your channel
Portal VODs: he always looks sad when he&#39;s sitting on the coach on this channel compared to gtlive, glad to see a fast response

whats A name: We have nothing but respect for you matpat keep up the lovely work! These things are just bumps and you’re here to address it! (Which other popular channels almost never do)
Just a Random person: I’m so happy he covered this because that sounds awful
Grunge’s: Fun fact the first person to finish this video finished 2 minutes ago
zeropoint70: I didn&#39;t even do anything and I feel bad 😔
Isabella and Kooky House: Hi
Blue_Ph()enix: Way to act quickly, you probably just managed to kill he intensity of or outright stop harassment and annoyance. I think you handled it early on enough that it should die down very soon
The Not Original Nerd: speaking of couch topics you should address the annoyingly spammy replies that happen in every comment, so frustrating
Mr. Glitch: well of course there are well... COMPLETE IDIOTS who just do stuff that they know they shouldn&#39;t have done but they don&#39;t use common sense and instead this happens
Prronce: Oh look! Let&#39;s trap some bots!
Ryan Urich: Mat you have to make a video on ActMan and all this slander from YouTube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeForActMan</a>
Adams Doodles: great to address this in our safety, MatPat real one
Big Brain: So... Hate to be a tone killer but has anyone found any evidence of this ARG actually existing?
Dust the wolf : Hey MatPat big fan and also trying to make a youtube channel and did you know that scott cawthon cant spell requires correctly
cielo ! 🎗: hm, thought this was common knowledge. forgot this was the internet 🥸
Nathan Sellers: Am I the only one who thinks mat suddenly looks older.
Justin Pritt: Whoops! Sometimes FNAF makes you do stupid stuff. But don&#39;t worry Mat; We all understand and we&#39;ll still be there for ya!
Jesus Saavedra: Hey man, take a break on yourself it isn&#39;t your fault just a simple misunderstanding that happened and hey we&#39;re all here for you keep your self safe man.

Random Trainer X.: Matt on the ball to nip this in the bud
ElJustino: I had no idea this was going on but props to you mat
Slothful28 [🎗👑]: Dude i literly woke up to this
Dr. Pepper: This is actually why Videogames use &quot;555&quot; as a starter phone number. It&#39;s not a real number to call so no one will be harassed in real life.<br>I truly want to see This ARG come through but not by violating someone&#39;s private life.
Peach_playz: I’m so sorry 😭
Margaret K: Really love the list and how Mat addressed this
bestsniper7677 sniper: Matpat sitting on the couch is like your parents saying your full name either way you know your in trouble
On1yGreen: thank gosh this is being addressed

floating shopping list: We&#39;re still talking about fnaf?
Assain Wolf: Mat is a legend for stopping this before it gets too far<br><br>Absolute legend
seb123mc_: This is the new bill cypher hunt
MattOnCola: Aaaaaaand this is why you leave Scott Cawthon alone... He&#39;s created an entire universe from a breathe of an idea. It&#39;s become a miasma that&#39;s out of control. The more you dig the more you&#39;ll find Scott has hidden, for a reason. Please be cautious with the large scale of coverage you provide. Yes, your video wasn&#39;t meant to go out of control. Yet there was no prior experience that&#39;s been introduced to a large fan base. Scott Cawthon has created a endless pit of easter eggs, derailed stories, and complex connections. By tugging on one vine you&#39;re digging up the garden.
Kaiden Miller: Please speak up about the act man and his situation with YouTube! His channel is in danger of being deleted and his content is amazing
PyroNick01: MatPat being smart and telling everyone to not be dumbasses. This should teach everyone who went and did this a lesson
Shikuki4k: Me who is not in America 😏
ArcticBoo: can believe this happened🤧
im bored tbh: matt patt: go safely look for clues for a video game <br>1/3 of the community: <b>calls 21 pizza stores asking for game lore</b>
TheCreeperCoolShow: Yeah I’m glad this is being addressed (yes I know everyone is saying this)
Sonicschillidog: <b>GASP</b>
Redikai Core: I didn’t realize this was an issue.
SteamPunk Fox: I’m glad you made this video hopefully it stops the harassment
Peg May: Maybe the next ARG should be focused on a park or a public boardwalk….a place of busness isn’t a great idea.
✨Galaxy_ Angel✨: I can’t believe I’m this early
An Introvert On YouTube: Knew this couch episode was coming
Nintendo Gamer Over 9000: Plot twist:scott will troll everyone about the ARG being real even though it&#39;s not.<br><br>...wait, he cant because of twitter.
Spinach Cow: Hello internet! Welcome to <b>couch addressing</b>
David (jams marsman): I love that you did this. I love even more that you offered solutions. You explained etiquette and respect. Thank you this is very formal and informative.
Britton Sings: Thank you so much for this MatPat. I watched this all blowup on Reddit and it definitely scared me, but the way you addressed this was mature and wise. Thank you again
cream soda: thank you sm for addressing this so quickly and efficiently
Hannah: Thank you!!!
Tyler Marshall: Thank you for spreading safety
~ MVDESTINY ~: Thank you for addressing this MatPat! I love all the videos, and taking accountability for these mistakes makes me love this channel even more.
Erin: Anyone who actively consumes/solves ARGS should know that there’s a list of rules to follow when solving them and harassment is the NUMBER ONE rule to never break.
BiggestRook101: I personally never thought this would happend when the video came out as well... I hope those businesses arent severally mad, I hope there doing well and arent harmed in anyway! Thank you matt Patt for addressing this ❤❤❤
Toswifty4youYT: Hello! I love your vids&#39;!
The waffle host: Man Matt‘s parent instincts really came out in this one
The band kid: Ok
Captain Saltwater2: I honestly saw the vid I was like what kind of person is so out of their mind to actually do stuff IRL this basically says &quot;THEORY fans are whole new breed of hunting ARG&#39;s&quot;
Spoon Meiners: based matpat
Colton Vanderpool: I’m here within 10 min 😏
infinit inferno vortex: ITS ȚØ ĻĂŤĔ MĀŤŢ
stormblade225: Im glad that you brought this up. I had no clue this happened, but the fact that you have an answer to this is amazing. One of the many reasons i have been, and will be, a big fan of you and your content.
Vezuly Kamarari: Thankyou matpat!
Rick Astley: Something to keep in mind is that we still don’t know if the ARG was scrapped or not. Right now our mission is to confirm the existence, or debunk the existence, of this ARG.
Blue Otter: How crazy
Just Some Guy who comments on every Video: These bot comments have gotten seriously out of control...
Beth_04: Respect
ThatGuy: Did you really think a large scale call to action based on a hunch wouldn’t backfire? Given how much information you had I feel like that video would’ve been irresponsible even if you knew the ARG was real.
Le'Asia White: I was really hoping you adressed this! It was getting out of hand very very fast. I appreciate this video Mat.
Roeod: Yooo
Kenjioz: yikes
Jaz: Thank god you finally addressed this issue matpat
PityDemons: Yo MatPat I aint mean to dislike...<br>I removed it<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Haters back off
Your_Detective: thank you mat
MoonBit57: I&#39;m really geld he did the right thing
JoshLoos: I know you didn’t expect this, but you must understand fnaf videos bring in a young, impressionable audience so you should have prepared for this possibility. Saying “hey look there’s a mystery go solve it” to a bunch of children should have set of alarm bells for the possibility of things going wrong
Fatema Akter: Finally this is over
The Player: wtf someone got doxxed? i heard about scott getting called but not doxxed.....
Sairi Taikutsu: yea, boiii!
M II: Have a save flight Man

Shelby Livengood: What happened lmao
Lizzy love6073: Thank you for addressing this, Matt this is very important
Ashley: man love him
brayn raya: Day 5 of asking for a don&#39;t starve together theory
robowolfofrobloxia: hol up no offense to anyone who did this but why do u think it would be cool to call someone real about a game&#39;s lore?
Whynotll83: Scott said don&#39;t do this kind of this, and I think he said it years ago.
JulianSD77v2: Alright please don&#39;t blame yourself it are safe
Richard Rodriguez: Damn didn&#39;t even know this was happening
Bobby Bird: Ragepat hair in full effect I see.
FernnedPot: Matpat showing how to deal with crazy stans. ^^ Dream should take notes.
Lauren O: Very responsible to put a stop to this. He definitely didn’t intend for anyone to go that far, so here’s hoping the rogue theorists listen.
Thilina Hett: Masterfully said!
MiniKitty27: top tier youtube apology: no batting around the bush just straight to the issue but ALSO providing solutions should this kind of thing happen again
Braxtrap: nice vid
IDK: I am Groot
Grim Reaper: It’s a great thing he made this video, I also just realized its a new one
VTuber Things: The fact that this had to be posted in the first place...
TheGolden Apple :3: I feel like there isn’t a arg, it wouldn’t be this hard, I don’t think.
Grimgore: thank God this happened
kk: So is anyone else too poor to buy the fnaf books so you just sit on the floor of Walmart trying to find lore 🥲
Liam Williamson: It’s odd no one thought of this before
icecream cakkkkeesssss!!!!: Matt looks rough. Is he okay?
yes idiot: Sorry
Moisés Naranjo: Hmm yeah this seems like it could have backfired.
Stephen Figge: hi
Armorlon: Hey Mr &quot;Calling-out-YouTube-and-helping-smaller-Youtubers&quot; man, can you address the Quantum TV and The Act Man stuff going on?
Cold Soup: DadPat has spoken
Kaden Renz: Glad this happened after I moved away from cedar city Utah lol
ChipChip knockout: I just watched the video and when I was my life I didn&#39;t even think this was happening 😳
Alfie Guansing: It&#39;s really shows how much Mat cares about this comunity. I have so much respect for him for making this
melimsah: Thank you MatPat!
flame dragon: Or more
Uso no Hoshi: Yeah. The thing is, even matpat says that the ARG may not be active. So it&#39;s best to not do stuff like this unless we&#39;re all 100% sure that it&#39;s active.<br><br>Like he says the hints stand out.
PHILLIP BOCCHI: Now I know I&#39;m getting old....what&#39;s an ARG?
Ambience: Thanks for addressing this and showing you haven&#39;t gone completely insane. While this was largely your responsibility to prevent, I&#39;m glad you&#39;re taking steps to make sure it doesn&#39;t go any further.
shawn noblekai: All hail matpat for he is the bringer of truth
Brandan679: Respect to you matpat. I would try solving this ARG if I was smart enough.

Krispy Kream'n: Synopsis: Stop it get some help
Hopeless LAG: Sometimes this community is embarrassing
Al Dagosto: Yeah I don&#39;t think anyone had malicious intent
Doge1234asdf: thanks for this mat.
flame dragon: I did not expect to find it in seven minutes
Gamey Official: I like how he didn’t expect any of this even though he’s fans are as if not more dedicated as a theorist as he is.
エースNezuko: You know it&#39;s serious when matpat shows his face in the video
Misho: I feel like Fnaf has unrightfully taken control of Matpat&#39;s entire career and brought him endless amounts of unnecessary hate.
BillyTheBurger: I honestly didn&#39;t think this would come
Lilly Blooms: Wow the problem that ends up happening with almost every arg happened? What a shock. Seriously how does this surprise you?
Serenity Miralador: I know everyone else is saying it but I respect MatPat for letting everyone know to stop but respectfully and in a mature way <br>Not many content creators that make it big seem to do that very much anymore
Mr. Bakonator: mat pat more like mat the chad
Alex Gzamouranis: 14k likes in 9 minutes
oscar: what is haining?
Annie Stempinski: thank you :)<br>i was worried about this

Gam3r Kid: Big fan big fun Freddy fazbear has a gun
TheAtomicDoggo: Thank you for covering this before it got too out of hand!
Distortion FX: You just know someone&#39;s gonna immediately break Rule 4 and call dominoes with some real dumb questions xD
fredfaz80s: LOL we just got like bombed on like a full dad mode by matpat
Peeby: As someone who lives in Southern Utah thanks Mat
Karim Mohamed: I respect matpat for shouldering some of the blame, you are a great human being and it shows through these small acts.
CERJ Media Gaming: If MatPat is uploading in 9:40 PM on a wednesday you know it&#39;s serious
Doog_Root: Monkey got taken down :(<br>1 minute no monkey taken down let’s goooooo
JD Williams' NorkProjects: WHAT IS AN ARG?!?!??!! I&#39;M OLD.

Raul Ruiz: Oh no hahahaha that&#39;s wilf
EjiroEloy: Just by Matt&#39;s look and tone you can tell he was in a rush to stop this
Mellon: The way MatPat adresses anything instead of ignoring it has to make him one of the best YouTubers
Mohd Ahmad: Thats nice where still doing the fnaf hunt but right
Arayan Godfrey: Idk this happened but, I&#39;m glad this situation got defused. Also, Matpat if you&#39;re reading this thank you for defusing this problematic situation
Faptimoo Lactos: 6yr old fanbase moment
•Glitched_Exotic•: Glad u said something mat
Crafty Hamster: Wow only 8 minutes and I’m already searching! Thanks MatPat.
Eeeveelution_snuggleplayz: So glad this was addressed so quickly. Thank you, Mat.
Jackson Castle: lol
Tasty Vids with Dante: honestly the way he made the original video, i totally expected this. he literally made a joke about going to the town himself in the OG video, the miscommunication was apparent from the start. Why connect multiple locations and center on a real town, then ask your audience to &quot;find the truth&quot;, and be taken aback by the result? seems like at least a 50/50 blame
Goku Black Gaming: Basically, we went too far to figure out the FNAF lore.
Totally Habib YT: That was amazing that he addressed this.
hydronuke_101: Yo thanks been going crazy with digging since I heard the chances that there was a fnaf arg
Raistlin Page: I like your couch talks. It tells me that what you have to say is more serious than the question of the meaning of life. But now I wonder. Dose Mario die his hair or his mustache. I think it’s his hair but that’s just a theory.
Kaylah Hardy: Matpat how come you never make deltarune theories anymore? I am a really big fan of those videos and and sucks that you don&#39;t do them anymore.
Nmation861: Make a theory about the warzone map
heroshey 89: That showed how scary and strong fnaf Fandom can be
Lunamira713: While watching this video I couldn’t help but stare at his rightmost ear because it was just… sticking out. <br><br>Don’t worry, I absorbed all the information. Just… Matt your ear. You’re asymmetrical.
Doctor Frosty: Rare W from MatPat
BOXLOVERFRLIFE: Bro I haven’t even watched the last vid
h8 boone da gr8: Hi mat
Qiqi: I have a theory for you about genshin   I want you to hear every character in genshin but mainly sucrose cause is animal test 6308 I think
Diet Water: This isn&#39;t what I had expected since I rarely see notifications for game theory I mainly see gtlive videos
Kidd_L3vi: well said mat i agree
ass gameplays: Stop it, Get some help.
Sparkle wing: Hey
TopFizzled?: 10 mins ago and 10 mins is the video....<br>Coincidence????
kk: Gotta give props to him for doing this so quickly even when he has to get on a plane
Strawberrymilk: I was the first one to watch this video- and then when I check again it&#39;s 17k- y&#39;all fast but not faster than me
Thomas Goff: Honestly I have so much respect for MatPat for handling this problem in such a responsible and professional way
Ice_AgeBaby69: Thank you Matthew Patrick
Onft: Insane that this video was necessary in the first place, but you handled it perfectly. Big respect
Y: I feel like I&#39;m getting scolded by a teacher
Lily Rose: Mat is literally the best hes apologizing for something his fans did and did a 1p minute video adressing this it. RESPECTFULLY MAN
Monster Society: Every Youtuber wants millions of subscribers &amp; views, but with that comes a LOT of responsibility as a creator. MatPat understands this, but occasionally these things slip through the cracks. I&#39;m here to say: I understand Mat, it&#39;s okay. It&#39;s not your fault. You&#39;re a very responsible creator, and I think we&#39;re all glad you made this video.
Ajay: As a representative of this amazing community, I have to say SORRY. I myself, regrettably, searched farther than needed for this arg. I even called 2 towns. I am so sorry on behalf of the theorists. I appreciate you for addressing this to the public
KirbyKraftGames: Bravo you little snippet of extremist theorists, ya mucked it up for everyone
BimDaTitanicNerd: I&#39;m glad he&#39;s addressing it
Zeykerzero: I didn&#39;t do anything 🙃 <br><br><br><br><br><br>😓😓😓
JackaBell: 8 minutes ago! Oo
Isaick Odeh: Big brain theorists may has spoken.
AlanWalkerFan 1357👑🐷: Fueling the algorithm
Gramps 69 Nova: The guys in the fnaf books should be given this video as well
ATG: Yeah go Matt!! I saw this going on on Twitter and I&#39;m so glad he addressed it.

Michigo Sinister: Wasn&#39;t your fault Matpat. You weren&#39;t expecting that to happen. At least you&#39;re addressing it and hopefully everyone will listen.
JBoogieo8: Plus 1 marioplex respect
Marz: Disappointed he made this video before the video on how horrible the Poppy Playtime creators are. I’m sure he’s getting paid by them to not expose them.

James Smith: Boop
Pack A Fish: dont care + ratio
Fax Machine: I hate to say im unsuprised about the response. When matt mentioned the specific post office and other businesses in a small town I was afraid they would be bombed by fans, as this channel has such a huge audience, flooding them onto an arg is nuts. NightMind is a channel that covers a great many of them, but whenever its an active endeavour, he makes sure to specify that its an active arg, but in your video matt, there was no confirmation or proof that an actual arg was underway.
strawberry: Oh wow, i was playing a game and saw the title with fnaf and just kind of ignored it for a little bit, then i saw the thumbnail and was like &quot;oh wow, this is serious&quot; thanks for adressing this matt.

Sazzaki ken: That got crazy very quickly
Bunga Bean: YouTube apology moment
Domher Abaya: Expected this to happen,going through theories is alright,but doing it with violence,is not alright... <br><br>FNAF may be sometimes are inspired in the real world,but it is not always to be connected... There&#39;s a thing called &#39;Imagination&#39; it&#39;s not always in the reality...<br><br>As i said,making theories,or theorizing is alright,but doing it with violence is like crossing a line...<br><br>I really hope this will not happen again...

It is none other then Vanessa and Michael.<br>&quot;But wait michael got scooped years before Vanessa came into the story.&quot; I hear you but... Have you ever read tuck everlasting? Okay in the story there&#39;s a family who drank water and became immortal somehow. The main character, Winnie fell in love with the youngest son, he was born during like the civil war, and he lives but winnie doesn&#39;t because she doesn&#39;t drink the water. Mike is the youngest tuck, Jesse. Vanessa is winnie.

  • Subscriber Count Before Apology: Number of Subscribers Month Before Apology Video Release
  • Subscriber Count After Apology: Number of Subscribers Month After Apology Video Release

General Methods & Machine Learning Application¶

First, the transcripts will be web scrapped to see how many times the Chat GPT words show up in the transcript. The rain forest regression will be used to calculate a popularity % score through the following equation: y = (∝0)+(∝1)(x1) +(∝2)(x2) + ... (∝n)(xn) + ... where (xn) is equal to the keyword and (∝n) is equal to the weight of the word (aka how many times it shows up in the transcript. This calculation will then be compared to the response back on the apology video using a sentiment analysis of the comment section in order to analyze and classify opinions expressed in the comment text as either positive, negative, or neutral. This will allow one to see if the video was successfully received by audience members. Finally, subscriber count from before and after the apology video will be analyzed to see if the regression model was able to predict whether the YouTuber bounced back to their previous success or lost a significant number of subscribers(the one major problem showing for right now is that the comment scraping does not seem to be picking up on comment replies within a thread- only the original/initial comments).

Appendix¶

Notes on Chat GPT Query¶

Note 1:

  • Along with providing the top 100 words, Chat GPT also provided a note at the end saying the following, "Remember that while these words can help make an apology more sincere, it's important to use them honestly and meaningfully. The most important thing is to take responsibility for your actions, acknowledge the other person's feelings, and show genuine remorse." This note offers that Chat GPT understands that apologies can not simply be quantified. They require human judgment and an ability to "read the room."
