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.
(2): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0363811117303363
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.
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.
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.

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

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 best of the absolute best so in the future even if you choose not to be a Jacqueline Cosmetics customer even if you lose trust in me that's okay like I understand I promise you guys all around the board perfect products and not all of them were all around the board a perfect product so I get it but I'm going to work very hard and I'm gonna work very diligently to make sure that within the next couple of months within the next year you're gonna look at my brand and be like oh wow this actually is good like she actually corrupted her air and she learned from her mistakes because it's exactly what I'm going to do and I'm so sorry for anyone who received anything less than perfect I take full responsibility this is my brand with my name on it and my team that I've created and I am so sorry that you've received something that is not exactly how I describe it to you so that's it I love you thank you for watching thank you for listening thank you for understanding contact help at Jacqueline cosmetics calm and we will be back to you shortly I love you so much and I'll be seeing

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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't want to get sued by the pizza place for instigating the harassment accident or not.<br><br>I wouldn'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're standing next to your sibling or friend while they're getting mad scolded by their parents or guardians? That'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'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't blame matpat anabee: This feels like a teacher telling all of us off Gaming Creator: Matt Patt, you sound like you'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'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: "We're sorry" "Sorry" 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'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't be more proud with the way MatPat solve and handle this issue 👏 Bravo Jace Haley: You weren't expecting this from the demographic? Last Name First Name: it'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's pretty depressing that a nontrivial number of subscribers legitimately don'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 "I'm not mad, I'm just dissapoited."😭 Norma Quintero: This is a piece of garbage never stop everyone don't listen and just dislike this video Illerhumpy: 'What happened here' ...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 'matpat is like a dad with a million kids' that alone tells you others see it as well. Ri Ri: walbad0 PogMan: Jesus christ Anthony Fitzpatrick: Matpat I'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'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'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'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'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 "Reddit", 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 game theory should make theory on terraria: Get me to the top of the comment section if you think terraria Should get a theory a game theory By MatPat Kyle kondowe: JellyBean Gang here<br><br><br><br><br>Bet u weren'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't this happen with a place called Freddy'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'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'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's steakburgers and ask for fnaf lore. i already did that as a joke, but then i ordered food so dosen'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'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'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'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&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&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&t=7m48s">7:48</a> Trangessing morals (and likely laws)... That's actually something that causes IRL consequences. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=8m25s">8:25</a> Alright, now that's bad. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=8m53s">8:53</a> Centralization is needed greatly. So I'd agree with all 5 of them. The Man Of Sex: This is way better than Travis' 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&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 ""LORE""" not knowing that the arg doesn'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: "is this the fnaf arg hunt"... "no this is Patrick" 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 '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's or something, but what if thats john when he's younger! Gregory isn'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's going on??? Reed Fether: This gives off I'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'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'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'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'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'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'm wondering what you'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 "wow I could have gotten into trouble doing that I should have brought a friend" LF BP: Nice Naud van Dalen: Hi, Dominos, you're my favorite pizza place. And also, do you have anything to do with FNAF? Naud van Dalen: TLDR: Don'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'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 "bro.... chill like wtf" 😭🤣🗣️ 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'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'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'm waiting for that fan to either bring a gun to the studio or kidnap the developer. Don'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'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't like it, don'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'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&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&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'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'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'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&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 "in universe" 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'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'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'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&t=23s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc9-I2d6p9I&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's perfect . I am surprised how he haven't done one yet. Gaming_Genius: . bilishu aliss: it'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'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'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&t=2m14s">2:14</a> dad moment FrogFoodMC: Somebody else already mentioned this but I'll say it anyway. During videos like this I can't help but feel like MatPat is your dad and you've something wrong, but he'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't watch; don'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: "A snowflake in an avalanche never feels responsible."<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: "this Will go downhill" and It did, surprise.<br>For those Who think I'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're doing is wrong. The second half is him listing rules for an ARG for newbies to ARGs. It really feels like a Dad'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's a bad video... delete it instead of gaining profit from other people'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's his fault or not) and he cleans it quickly and responsibly. Calvsie: Hehehe, ARG youngins. Looks like we need to circulate "This Is Not a Game: A Guide to Alternate Reality Gaming" 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't watch) is don'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's head without capturing him? Or maybe... never mind, I need the theorists to look into this Fright Knight: This isn't a Game Theory its A Game Law Amber Lyon: Which books do you think are the best, worst, scariest/most horror? Ricardo: W we won 3 lunarshadow dragonwolf: Fan made trailer of uncertain past dlc Mackenzie's Big Adventures: this is giving blues clues Samantha Williams: <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vapLzVVCoRU">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vapLzVVCoRU</a> Lighter Fluid: Father i apologize for my siblings stupidity Lindann Johnson: Don'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'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'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'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'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't mean it!<br><br>take responsibility for this. That1_guy: I found the 20% so nope Steve A: I don'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 "arg" like a pirate. Kazuma's Journey of Song: Dadpat :D Spookydorf: aight i did it, i watched all game theory vids Fartskee: In conclusion, stop being dumb! WaferWater: Me, thinking that my gift was stolen: that’s just a theory.., A GAME THEORY Jayden Van Kleef: Next vid!!!! how can boy Pokémon live if they always are girls breaded Apexprince: Matpat is a HERO for addresing this RESPECT! rock8 5cool: r/politicalhumor please follow these guidelines.

Unknown_Dragon 67: I feel like I’m being lectured by my dad 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'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: "Welcome to couch theory!" 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'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'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's around kid kids he doesn't go crazy but when he's around adults he goes crazy what if he's just a guard dog like yeah I was just wondering so I'm hoping you could look deeper into it like he's not going crazy cuz of your adult and I can but he'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'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'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't think I would ever call somebody'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'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's an ARG? ^^' untitlednotfound: idk don'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'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 >¬< 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&t=6m00s">6:00</a> 2 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&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: "i thought fans of this franchise would act in a responsible way"<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've never played in the original freddy'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&t=6m20s">6:20</a> / <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=10m16s">10:16</a> StengaranteGT1: We need Internet Comment Etiquette Erik on the scene. Chukkaq: "A couple hundred phone calls constitutes harassment"<br>Lets me clear, once you get like 2+ unwanted calls you're in harassment territory. Don't live and die on the hill of "Matt patt said a few hundred, we only did 100. We're golden." 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: "Do not post private information, that is called doxxing" Man it's too bad a certain creator doesn'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 <3 Kid CowboySmart: create music theory LolsAtLance: Your teeth are so white and perfect, I'm jealous. That'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'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'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've always have respected MatPat. But after this video my respect has grown so much more. He is so polite and he didn'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 "rule" at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=8m26s">8:26</a> reminded me of something that happened in an ARG 2 months ago. For the "Angels of the Zariman" 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've typed it correctly, you could be calling a random pharmacy Carrietoonz: Matpat is sigma male chad 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Lil Gremlin: I didn'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 ''Game Lore'' 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'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've ever seen Delano Davis: This is probably why the story was "cut" they probably knew this would happen Zivon: Must've been quite a shocker for you. I'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 & shorter words, MatPat can sued sued & faced with a lot of legal bull due to your actions & 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's an ARG? sf: do the transphobia and donation to autism speaks next! Donald McCullough: It'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'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 "haters are out to get me" 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'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: "hey I'm a huge youtuber who made a call to arms to do something but I didn't account for my huge following to Just go out and do stuff" Digiornodiovanna: I think that it's great that you'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'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've got my volume cranked and I have to turn the subtitles on to know what is being said. I know it's not just a "my machine" problem, because it's not an issue with other videos I'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'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'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's your communitty's fault, not yours. You sent kids out and didn't even tell them to not call private buisnesses. Also, there is ARG ettiquite, it'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'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'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'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: "Is this Frank's Lasagnaria in (insert location here)? Okay, great! Do you have the FNAF lore on you?" 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 "how could MatPat not have seen this coming?" 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't think it's your fault, or maybe even the people's fault. Whole thing was a HUGE misunderstanding and that'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'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 "please stop," 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's such a shame that someone like matpat has to apologise to pizza place workers just because a bunch of kids can'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'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's easy to forget that the internet is still a wild west in a lot of ways, it's still pretty new in the grand scheme of things and we don'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'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, & 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'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'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'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'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'm to lazy to look, someone quickly tell me what an ARG is Emerald: d4mn guys Cloudcake: Take notes Dream KUNGFUPANDA_GAMING: A disappointed dad😔 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'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'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't a game theory, it'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 <3 Lisa Newton: Matt theres more about merge mansion Ash Ketchum: We can'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: "No, we don't have sharks here, what?" <b>*tch*</b> 😂<br>1338th call: "Guys please stop! I'm not the secret to FNAF!" 😭 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 <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'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'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's an arg? J P: Ha! I don'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'm far enough away, also I'm a 14 year old boy who doesn'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 "Real World" thing with FNAF has me on edge because I'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't real. To find that there's potential for a real life missing children'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's just giving all of us the few clues that he had or whatever clues were discovered in a legal investigation and now he's leaving it to us to actually solve a potential murder? Like what if it isn't "Just a Game Theory?" I'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's what the point of the mask is guy? Jaymes Lanske: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=1m59s">1:59</a> fnaf fans need to learn that calling a phone number isn'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&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't even part of the ARG hunt but all I can think is 'you guys dad's disappointed in us' 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'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'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't be useful but i tried SirzSirz: If I had a quarter for whenever something like this happened in FNAF's history, I'd have 2 quarters, which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice. doorknob: ...

Thank you for just being direct and honest about things like this. Jourdan Hamme: You go MatPat <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'm not up to date ,but I'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 Neuro: Yo man thank you for reaviling that peta already made fnaf, the world is better with you11!! Lauren French: 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 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're freedy Fazbear 💀💀 Will Probably: Grow a pair BUBBY-kun: Yo, Matt this video is tight and all but I gotta thank you for that shout out man Too Random: Yo, Matt this video is tight and all but I gotta thank you for that shout out man The owl house theory’s: I will post a video soon on my fnaf theory’s to help you ok one is that the rejects have souls in them and Gregory knows sunrise more then we think I will post soon BenBeingEpik: I think that the 4th part of the circle might be something like "the media theorists".

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. Technoviper9000: as bender onced said: welp, we're boned...

Tom Grubber: Never thought about it til now Bera Bahçekapılı: You started it, it's too late you can'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: "yawns" ignited freddy is secretly the warden from minecraft Daniel Stone: Wow you’re pretty 😍 Ronald Alcera: And so the standards for solving ARG's are set in stone....(Thanks Mat for setting the rules in this wildwest of ARG hunts).

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.

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 Dylcat Bowthorpe: Hi there can you play Pokémon red Dylcat Bowthorpe: Wow MaskTheGreenLord: he's being controlled but hey that's just a theory A LIFE THEOR Dummer: Do Gmod lore Daile Hughes: I miss old game theory and old fnaf when you know there is still more than what it seems and since security breach it feels finished Beverly Books: Hi Mat I have a theory a poppy playtime theory what if we wrote the letter in chapter one but we didn'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't think poppy wrote the letter how could she write it she was in her case she wouldn'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'm going to escape this place and yes I know there are spelling mistakes but what if we just didn't write for years so we forgot how to spell some words or maybe after the procedure we couldn'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 "cancelled" 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) "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." (Romans 10:9,10) "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."

He didn't say "Don't do this, its bad", he literally said "Please don't do this, it is not safe. Please be safe". 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 "please, don't do this again". <br>I love you Matt. I have followed your channel for 4 years and I will continue till you retire (which hopefully won't be for a while but I will understand if so).

TurDuckenGaming: Well bollocks Luke Murray: While I may not always see eye to eye with MatPat's views, videos like this prove that he and his team are deserving of the success they have. Keep doing your thing MatPat. Adyn Y: my respect for matpatt has skyrocketed. i’ve always felt he was sus but its nice to see him pulling the plug and stopping something he deeply enjoys purely for the sake of the mental wellbeing of others Ossi Oikarinen: Game theory idea: How can shadow run with rocket shoes. Justas J: Let's start an arg to find his house 😭😭 NoobXZ: why does it say its 125 years ago GUTSY: Minecraft warden lore please kirby went to fight goku: can anyone explain what just happen here ChefmemeVR: Why does he sound like a dad lol uyghurball: <a href="https://youtu.be/SoeJoqjHreI">https://youtu.be/SoeJoqjHreI</a> Speederman058: You took care of this spectacularly, you weren'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'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.

If they think they can do the bare minimum to get 'exposure' and 'fame', they would in a heartbeat. That's why other fandoms that aren't as large, nor their audience isn't as young and attention seeking don'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 .

Crimson Titan: You’re the best! 😊 B12 - Valencia, Brandon Johan: so everyone pls take notes cuz matpat literally adressed this RIGHT BEFORE he was headed to an airport<br>Simplicity, No tears and LITERALLY MINUTES BEFORE HEADED OFF TO THE AIRPOT BarerSaturn287: <a href="https://youtu.be/ptafNu1X6vM">https://youtu.be/ptafNu1X6vM</a> Julia : Thanks for doing this video, very helpful!

But that's just a 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'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 😐😑😐😑😐 JOHiD: Agreed!

How is that possible? Ephemeraliti: I know i'm just saying the same thing as everyone else, but I truly appreciate how responsible this is. LeonardoGENO: BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A WARNING, aaa- warning if you don't stop I might get sued warning! Angel Posadas: ⚠️THEORY⚠️ y’all think HALO was a rip off of RINGWORLD you need to do a theory on this because the ring worlds look too much like the halos In the game lol Brad Bowen: Im liking the stubble-pat look DAVE: I’m not saying this in a rude way but he sounds like my living skills teacher Elana Ballantyne: A lot of respect. This was so amazing that he brought this up so quickly. Huge respect MatPat. LancerAnimates: Oh damn I did not know this happened All Of Ochaco’s AU’s: mr mat pat big fan Codex99: I didn't think it would get this bad so fast.

Alexandra Walker: thank you for making this video! I'm sure some peeps apricate this! Brandt Campbell: (Up to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&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?

This sort of stuff has happened before. Moonstone silver diamond team Mr. M the top heroes: I knew this one so i have to keep my info only for myself and think something else so the only problem is myself and you don't have to worry about it arg is great i have to keep it in touch so see ya SpyroGames: Sorry for the off topic question but i wanted to ask this on the most recent video, who are Mario and Luigi’s parents?

Liz Gudino: 🤦 Anoxeyh: Wh-what is an ARG? ray: him: stop<br>me: no Ace WMD: Maybe it's not the best idea to milk a series made buy a guy that you don't agree with accidentally misinterpreting the intended message and actively inciting a "witch hunt" 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&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.

My father's and my brothers hair does this and I can'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 " Amanda the adventurer"? 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's tell you about but what if they were hiding something more in the in the song and what they say? Suit Bloodbeard: I'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's something that you can hear, but you need to be able to hear better then the Warden in a quiet room. I don'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't the only one in the cave, and what they were running from, isn't a creeper and isn't a skeleton, it's the Warden, It's not Skeletons firing arrows at them or creepers rushing them to blow them to the cave roof, It's one man's bow and arrow, and another person'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.

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!

There are hundreds to choose from not just D&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're putting a list of ARG etiquette protocols in place. This is just great, and it's exactly what these kinds of games will need moving forward. As ARGs become more popular, there'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 "Man someone's going to something dumb" 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't understand exactly how wrong what they're doing is. I'm not gonna defend them, but my guess is that it was kids doing this. Hopefully now that you addressed you this they'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.

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't call because of the FNAF thing I actually called just to apply for a job and they said they weren'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'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's channel getting demonitized. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeForActMan</a> 05DiamondRiche$: Don't cause public damage just so you can figure out any ARG, because don'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'm honestly glad MatPat is always fast to address issues, literally ones of the 22 reasons he'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't take it with you. BOB DOLE: Not your fault mat it just some stupid fnaf fanatics going over the top it'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'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 "supportive charity"<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's not MatPat feeling sorry for himself. It'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'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're going to visit a location mentioned in an ARG, and you go alone, you can put yourself in danger, you don't know who else knows about that location and may go there with malicious intent, you don'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're going, and make sure that whenever you go anywhere you'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'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've never even played a FNAF game, I just enjoy the videos. That said I won't be finishing this video, because it is irrelevant to me and therefore uninteresting.<br><br>You should do 'Spiderman is doomed to die'. 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'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 "I smashed Ur mother" 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'm sorry if I confused you Deadeyes YT: What is a ARG? I just recently figured out RPG'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't know what you are talking about, doesn't care what you are talking about and he simply wants to get on with his life. Don'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 <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't have referenced real places? Maybe? inkyblots: I respect that you addressed this asap!! Thank you for being responsible. Keep theorying on :) Eeveemaster243: "NEVER CALL ANYONE ASKING FOR GAME LORE" 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've never been responsible a day in my life and I'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'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'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're crafting rules for a game, doesn't that mean you're using Game Theory?<br><br>Also yeah, surprising it took this many ARGs to run into this issue. I guess that'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'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'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 ShuaTock: FNAF lore makes no sense Phantom Mann: Gj mat Slogain390: Matty friend, you look a bit tired.. Hood Classic: Wtf is arg TheeSharkkingofficial: #3 on trending!!! captaingrovyle: props to you for addressing this so quickly 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'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 "oh no..."<br><br>Thank you so much for addressing this immediately! Daniel Ramirez: Not even crying, more like confused and angry. Welcome to the new gen MatPat. Since 2009 and not even one issue like this. Hella strong of you to come out so quickly. 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. watermelon James: New game theory: chess lore, who the canonical god is in the chess universe 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'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 Hamza: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee SennoTheFox: This Is Why Game Theory Is The Best Theory Channel. They Want Everyone To Be Safe And Respectful. Thanks Mat Pat. We All Appreciate You And Your Team’s Work! Thank You For Everything You’ve Done And Will Ever Do! 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. BorrachoYeye: What are ARG? D4rkSound: gotta appreciate the enthusiasm lmao but yeah that's a bit much Dungeon Mochi: Thank you for being so quick in posting this response video. I haven't seen the other one EndlessAviation: 19 hours Mr.K: Dude MatPat straight up go to the point with this, awesome! lil wayne k3: Dang why you had to do this to this man he didn't do nothing and now he got to take responsibility you're sorry bro some of you guys are sorry Treeco262: It's also to say this ARG may not even exist. U only speculated there were clues out there. Doesn't mean there actually r. At this point u better hope there'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'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's pizza delivery site that is going to be a real* pizza place. *Not real, it's a ghost restaurant that is using real restaurants to deliver different food. Lil' Tater: dude really stretched this out to 10 minutes 🙄 Mac Davison: Kinda cringe that you start a witch hunt and you blame your fans for something you caused. Eyal Levin: POV: Your looking for apologies in the comments Sider Brighthelm: He's not mad, just disappointed vee: now THIS is an apology video Kai The Doge: Dam gj. You took responsibility inlike some others, respecc VestigeSmash20: well..... thank you for addressing MatPat, I never actually heard or realized that this <br>doxing thing-a-ma-jig was actually a thing and a B I G N O-N O..... I'm not tech smart... honor wimbrey: Hey guys if you want my YouTube is called honor Wimbrey XXX VIPER: Is it just me or does mat look like a combination of Jake Peralta and Michael Scott facially? Aust Boss: You can tell how panicked matpat is right now, poor guy. S. Coy: Wow.. nicely said Tiny_beans: dang ppl do that!? i just left after te puppet jump scare in the vid lol Søftie_Sophia1234: I wonder if you are gonna do a theory about the prototype a.k.a experiment 1-0-0-6 is Dinguart: I wish you did this kind of apology video format for when you played that Undertale fangame and didn't give credit to the creator ShadowOmega: Greta to see how mat pat does this,at this Pont he is uncancellable Little Xio: Ah, I remember MY first ARG. 😅 Robi 22: ay0 matpat got drippy with his fit An 6n: jesus just 5 days and hell already broke loose?! ArteDead: Dad-pat giving us all a life lesson✨ King Koi: Not dad yelling at us Frenie Newbear: When I saw the last video, I just brought the FNAF coloring book(s) online. I haven’t found anything yet but I’m going to keep looking through it very carefully. Juan Cortes: Wow that's crazy. I didn't do anything wrong bro but I'm sorry that happened. Hopefully everything stops and this doesn't happen again in this community. Much love matpat!! 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'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'm more surprised that this hadn't happened before with a different fandom (I'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 EpicNOAH: no RageDragon101: Lol this only happened with Gen Z E Weezy: Congrats on being chosen to make a fnaf remake phisnom Mr.Luigi64: You know when to stop if matpat says to stop Hoppy: K, thanks mat. much love Harry Hauptman: He sounds like a dad when you do something wrong but is trying not to be angry Red Soldier: Unless if it battle toads Kristen Thongvan: What's arg TheGamingTurret: I think another rule should be: If YOU think of a solution, assume that hundreds, if not thousands have already thought of that solution. And if said solution breaks ANY of previous rules, just, don't. 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. Atom&Prince!: Everytime I see a game theory video nowadays I always think "it's a fake- oh wait it's real" it not that I'm hating im just saying. winkdink: Did you not learn from pizza calling the "real" freddy fazbear's pizza from back in the day? Rhett Pilkinton: Rules: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=6m43s">6:43</a> 🇩🇪Riley: Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever your going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen John Goodwin ( Student ): Can you talk about the act ma situation? Seems right up your alley LiterallyALoser: Chad. W 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've been better if there was mentions of an active one before moving on. Tiffany barker: Can you do a video on the history of the deep dark city from Minecraft because their new 1.19 update just came out PizzaHunter: where the red jacket? bro. PizzaHunter: hi Lili Shaban: Late!🙃🙃🙃 MooseFR: nightcore!!! HackModNerd: Common sense... You can be sued for damages and defamation for doxxing. And in some states property owners can legally shoot trespassers. Potato_Man: I have a challenge, find fortnite lore Austin: W MatPat, Mad respect for you. Alex Runyan: I'm so glad I chose to just spectate this one FluffyVark: finally, a legitimate apology video xD MochaRulez: Way to go, Matpat! I have a ton of respect for you in addressing this issue right away and being responsible, while getting your message across very clearly to others! Keep up the great work! I love all your channels! 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't have nice things I'm only saying this because we can'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's mother for technically causing the murders. OHSO Brilliant: <a href="https://youtu.be/G2KUXEnjXas">https://youtu.be/G2KUXEnjXas</a> 🧿-With love, nilou: Thank you for always being so mature and kind to us Mat, you don't know how much that means nowdays ❤️ The Lion Man: Nice! Enrique Santana: Damn this really got 3 trending Piepachu: I didn't even know that happened omg bro Tomed Ceht: Damn matpat. Respect. HE’S coming soon: ❗❗❗Believe in Jesus – the Son of God Stefan: I love how you make this vid and say “when you call dominos, call dominos when you want some delicious pizza. Not to ask them if they are part of the FNAF franchise/universe” and they are now making fnaf, kinda real Prismatic: Day 2 of asking matpat to make a Day Shift At Freddy's theory.<br><br>Also, mad respect that he's making this right. Dyson Mousette: I crack it the book titles are the key L1nken: This is why Matpat is one of if not the best YouTuber on Earth he keeps his cool whilst explaining why his fan base shouldn’t do it you have earned my full respect (if you hadn’t already) ZYMON X: Are Those raspy tones natural? Spring lock zombie 115: Matpat officially my fave youtuber ✨ Jay: Why would these ppl call anyways Dione Corrigan01: Ngl I didn't see the video so I was Confused by all this stuff Bert Berry: Mad respect Matt.

CoolEgg: This is absolutely hilarious, important, well done, serious, and so freakin hilarious 😂 Dante De'Von: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=8m40s">8:40</a> <br>I'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'm sorry that I don'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's channel 'give heart records' 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's serious about this issue because it's not monetised something that hasn't been seen or I haven't seen him do since addressing that youtube may no longer exist captainkawaii666: Thank you for addressing this so soon Stone Sky Sunrise: He really kicked the hornet nest Minty VR: Make a video on gorilla tag pls omeran murshan: My guy Kuitaran( Heatmorus ): Epix THE GAME PRINT: I suggest you do a vid on how strong the poppy playtime grabpack is WXFUTX: Mat sounds like a disappointed teacher lol The sad chicken: It's the whole pizzeria found based off of an arbitrary string of numbers thing all over again 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'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'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't see this coming-that's bout it BYE!

Well said Matpat, well said.. ProtoMario: Im sorry I am a millionaire and accidentally encouraged millions of fans to search real world towns for video game lore. Really honestly when I see these videos from huge influencers that are millionaires, all I think about is that South Park picture with the guy laying on the rug saying, "We're Sorry". DolphinKing: Do stranger things Jacky Gemme: Matpats a gigachad thatoneartistdude: Day 5 of asking matpat to do a video on bugsnax lore Mayo Jaylaylo: Ok I respect that you apologized for what happened, but big props to actually coming up with a solution as well. Most big YouTubers wouldn’t do that. VILLVALL: Ahoy! I'm just wondering if you would mind doing a Sea of Thieves theory sometime? :> Sparrow Star: Omg I hurt imagine hell sir do you have a animatronic shark named Phil the person:no *gets more calls similar*what the hell?! Peter Cienki: MATPAT YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE NEW 1.19 DISK 8DEN’S WORLD: I am SOOOOOOOO sorry about this Kristen Robinson: Buddy I don't know how to tell you this but what did you think would happen when you claimed FNAF was an ARG to a fanbase of mostly children? Curtis_C05: This is why Mat is a great person pike honestly. Ive mever met or seen anybody admit to wrong doings so quickly and honestly. Mat, we love you and your team so much DayMan34: Can we still look, IF, we don’t do the bad stuff?

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.

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.

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'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'm so glad this video is trending.

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.

You'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're looking for a clip of the stop please stop scene, it's on my channel just copy the link <3 Ornstein: This marks the beginning of The Theorist's Creed, may it guide you secret seekers to honorable victory.

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'm still very impressed with the response. Keep being youtube'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.

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'm calling anyone for delicious pizza, it's definitely not going to be Domino's. <br><br>Unless the <i>only</i> other option is Papa John's. But even then, I wouldn't call it "delicious". 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's battletoads all over again redblue heart: When did this happen?

Marx Rhett: I think we all have been there, excited and trying to do it alone and rushing ahead without contacting anyone, and that's not always bad, but for ARGS it'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's easy to forget when you are excited. JeriTheWeirdChild: Alright ik almost EVERYONE is saying this but it'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, & more.

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&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!!!

Whoisme45: BUT THATS JUST A LIFE THEORY Alex Wood: im going to stop halfway through cuz i never did any of this heck i had no idea anyone was doing anything he says that theorists did <br>edit: \/ no touchy this button (read more)<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>HAH U LOOKED sorry.................................................................................. 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's probably kind of a stupid question, but I'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't happen again, shows a great deal of both maturity and responsibility. I'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've never really been a huge fan of fnaf, so I didn't even watch that other videos. So that'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's official there is one AddictedToKH: Came here to echo the comments saying, there's a lot of overlap between ARGs and not only escape rooms, but also geocaching. If you have to ask "is this a clue?" it most likely isn't. 99.999% of "game masters" 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'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's apologizing for those who aren't aware...god I love this channel Midget Mya: What is ARG therealcoolbean: That'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'm very happy to be a part of the theory community CraftyMojo: What'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 spoon: why is this so funny Google User: I haven'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've never seen anyone do that before. He's a kind person, and you can tell. We understand you didn't mean any of this to happen, Matthew! I suppose some of us just wanted to help, and didn't realize that what we were doing was bad. Thanks for immediately stepping up, though. You're a true role model. that one animator: This is probably one of the few apology videos were I've actually heard the person apologizing say sorry. Great video btw Mat. Danny Manny: DadPat coming in with the "We need to talk." Gabe: Hey MatPat apparently a couple of days ago or something a ACTUAL Five nights at Freddy'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't start with "game theory: title here" 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'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're amazing! BingBingWachungus: This guy NEEDS to remember that he isn't a real celebrity, and that his "audience" is a bunch of infants who would call a Chuck E. Cheese and say "Can I speak with Freddy Fivenights? Mister Game Theory himself told me to call you.".<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 Ihaveonly1jack: This feels like a dad giving his best dad talks to his children. This is why we love this channel!! Ian Fassnacht: matpat i love you so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so THEONE: Mat pat makes this type of vid<br>Everyone:im something of a respectful and responsible person myself 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'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!!! Brennan LM: Thank you for addressing this on the main channel and not Reddit or GT Live Connor Swart: 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10 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'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'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'm sorry for telling you like that but it's common sense that a company like domino or burgen king has nothing to do with fnaf and you don't need to dox someone or search their personal information well understood well now we Let'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't even hear about that escalation. Am so glad it didn'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 "I'm not mad, just disappointed" 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 & we theorists appreciate you for doing this Madaraoluv2: You're finally admitting that you'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: "Whoops, they all did it again..." Aryeh Baruch: TBH when I watched the last video, I did briefly think something like "Huh, I hope a swarm of curious Game Theorists doesn't descend on Utah like a Biblical plague".<br><br>I probably should have posted an "Um maybe add a common-sense don't-do-a-swarm caveat addendum" 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't have claimed there is an ARG without developers saying it. <br>This is why. It'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'm sticking with because you are just like BAM right to the point and don'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'm a Utah local and willing to dig around locally with respect.. I'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've been a lot worse but you handled it well. Not your fault Matt, but thanks man <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'm happy that you addressed this in such a mature way, thank you for making my childhood great Zodiak Games: Respec Vyzard: I'm suddenly reminded how that new batman's riddler 'inspired' 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 "disappointed teacher after a bad note from a sub" 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'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 <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'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's pizza is garbage, and you should never call them for "delicious" 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 'training video' for ARGs, old style production quality and all. Luka Visser: This is nice Simon in-Well: It'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'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't even do the ARGs but I didn't stop watching cuz mat looked so serious catiy micgreg: respect just respect thank you far addressing so early <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's always surprising. Part of me wonders if it's still fun for him anymore to make content. The audience is like holding a snake. It's docile until it'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'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 "didn't see it coming" since you didn'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'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'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 CruddyCircle: Should we expect anything less from the FNAF Fandom? Berker King: Thank you for making this video and making sure that no one would be burned by this anymore. Also you have the beat jacket Enzo Capone: Your doing wonderful work for the community here. Well done Mat. Andrew Matics: Yeah! Major respect for the DadPat energy in this video. acearo hippo: I love how his message is "Stop." Full period, clear and straight forward, no music or silly graphics. No beating around the bush or "softening" 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've ever seen. kraktMoss: I mean mobile wise don't there's anything because I've screwed with the files since security breach release editing audios, but from what I see it'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) Eeve Ayala: No red leather jacket James Guzman: Is this your last video? Sharon Dareshiro: Awesome video GT, always happy to be a viewer especially with how responsible you guys are Ashley Bowery: Let me know if you want me to tell you Ashley Bowery: I think I solved the dad feels mystery Ashley Bowery: I have a theory Ashley Bowery: Hey matpat Riley: This is probably the fastest turnaround on a video I'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 "WHY DID YOU THINK THAT WAS OKAY?! STOP THAT!" xD MatPat - the big brother/new father of Youtube James Guzman: Hey is this a "quiting youtube video" 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 "I'm pickle rick!" Lautaro Meyer: I have an ARG for you: I hid the complete lore of FNAF under John Cena'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'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'know it's hard to blame him for this ARG'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 "Hey guy's, please stop." video. NathanGaming: We took it too far and we won't do it again, I'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'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 'real Freddy Fazbears Pizza' 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 "unspoken" rules of ARGs. <br>If they ever have to be posted at all, they're almost always posted at the top of subreddits, forums, and discord channels.<br>I'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'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 & may things continue to go well for you. Keep being Awesome & Safe Bro 🎮 😎 👊 maskeli oyuncu : can I be team thoerrists I have theory Luosta: But wait there is already an etiquette it'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&t=5m08s">5:08</a> Pablo Raul Pereyra: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&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't to cross. This was supposed to be a fun little way to involve us. Keep doing your thing Matt! Hot_spice_ice: I'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'm not someone who's participated in ARGs, any of them. Still, they're entertaining to watch from a distance, for me. Anyway, I'd like to note something: With ARG rules, don't make choices to go into forests in haphazard ways. In fact, that goes for any ""public"" natural location. Don'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're amazing MatPat! I'm sure this wasn'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'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'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'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'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'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'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'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'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's and gentlemen is how you ADDRESS, APOLOGIZE, AND SOLVE A FREAKIN' ISSUE. He did it without tears, he made it short and simple, and he made sure that it doesn't happen again in the future. Perfect video ∞/10 amazing job. Nothere: I'm just commenting to boost this video in the algorithm, don'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'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'm happy to see this, I'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'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'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.

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't go into a private property unless it'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'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's fnaf it'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'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.

TheSoldierMonke: Woohoo matpat Canadian Food: What? I don't love ARGs. Don'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&t=0m40s">0:40</a><br>Everyone: clues<br><br>Mat:kglews yaboyj: They called fking businesses.

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.

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's a hypocrite. 2xxes official: y'all actually fell for this ☠️☠️☠️ Core: That's why you are one of the greats and the best in this. Thanks for addressing. Sc0ner: Bro FNAF'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't intended to participate in the first place: ok sure Insert name here: I am actually working on a ARG myself Panna Pon: It's sad that this even needs to be addressed. Fans take things way too far. It'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'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't for FNAF, nobody would know who you are, bro.<br>You desperately need to get onto something fresh!

I'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't know if someone's mentioned this one or not but when trying to solve ARG's only call phone numbers that are revealed through the ARG itself. I think that most if not all ARG'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'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?

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 "apologized" 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'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.

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'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.

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'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 "REAL" 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'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 didgeridoo: Mat gets cancelled for twenty minutes then he posts a reasonable apology Sadiq Al Mawt: Matty patty has my utmost respect Pepsi Man: Lmao I knew this would happen the moment I saw "Fnaf ARG" dabradmp1: Never ask internet to do something for you.....

Greater_L: I think comments boost the algorithm? hiwaga: ARG etiquette! Nice :) Janay: DadPat just really came out here to say, "I'm not mad, just disappointed" Otku Corner: Once I saw him trending on twitter I was wondering when he'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't call no one Yappertherapper: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#Justiceforactman</a> don'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'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.

Robomatronix: Ok Kattast1c: Much respect to you, matpat! Thank you for always trying to do what's right. 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're all in this together :D FraneX: Making a comment to boost the algorithm on this video Katrin Kärgenberg: You know that fnaf 3 mobile version got an update..... right?

(disc thirteen is creepy to) 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'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's sad that he has to come out and say this. Bullet the corgi: Wow I'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'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.

I can't find it PAUL NIKO BOBADILLA: When I playlist All fnaf theory just for fun Jimmy Garza: Commenting to hopefully boost it through engagement. Please listen to this video.

You might not have any malicious intent, but the device owners don'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'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 "official" 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't know what to do, please help.

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't happen. Onion Engine: Just a mega bruh moment, that's like when a teacher gets asks the same question right after answering it.<br><br>Painful... The Play Log: Matt, you'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's like a cool teacher after the class gets in trouble <br><br>"alright class, let's talk" K. Fuji': if i were a FNAF ARG i'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'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'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's the only one left so he was Gregory from fnaf sb<br>And that'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 "huh that's pretty cool info". Sad to see it spiralled into this but this video addressed it all perfectly. Loved how many times MatPat said 'stop' 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>"where is the funny pizza bear?!" The most allmightiest grey prince Gundham: Die ich rief, die Geister, werd' ich nun nicht los. Anne Castro: I can see ur anger All4Games: The difference between this and any other ARG that you've mentioned is that Fnaf and you have a lot of young children in your audience who "want" 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's a new fnaf fan made game called lego Five nights at Freddy'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's talking about this and in such a sincere way DJPJ: What is "ARG"? 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 "mad respect to matpat" 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 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤ BrodyTEM🇺🇦: Instructions unclear: finished the ARG faster Borach McTeague: Oops!<br><br>(Commenting to up this video's YouTube priority!)

GunRunner: mind you lots of ARG involve in finding out hidden passwords n such and "hacking" 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'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's done John Da Munk: HaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahaha Gotcha The Spider: Best apology video I've seen yet.

DT gaming: i haven't even watched the new video rip Jahvier Temple: The companies getting 100+ phone calls:"No this is Patrick!" JustBlanc: When matpat sits on the chair... You know it'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'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'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're adressing this thing as fast as you could. Carolina Westrin: What is a ''ARG''?<br>(Please dont call me stupid for not knowing; I'm not English or American so I don'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 ''angry'' in my language. It's pronounced a bit like this: Arj.)

Min(oob)cra(p)ft: I don't think he said it in the video but to anyone that did actually call, don'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'm not a master ARG person but based on what I've heard about the gravity falls one if one person has found something important they would you know post about it so that'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're on. Don'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'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'm glad that you mentioned it because I wouldn't have even known. And I'm glad at least some kind of guidelines are being set up here so I'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's scared of a couple of news articles just ignore the media 🙄 plus it's probably just kids doing it Infinitely Chaos: Hi Agent Knockout: Perhaps rule #6 here could be: Don't endanger your health, or others' 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't go there. Don'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'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'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'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't call a place that isn'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'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 "now its not everyones fault but the ones who do" yassine MXM: it'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'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'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 "random" cardbored pieces around. But I don'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'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'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.

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've come to a lot is "weren't these stories previously scrapped?" so like, there probably wouldn'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'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's more fun being in a group, and second, it'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's? Plat: At this point I want a documentary about fnaf made by matpat. XlR8: If you ever need a game theory suggestion , here's one " How much would a minecraft world cost in real life?" Rosy Fox: Out of context but it seems one common spam is saying "it's finaly here" 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't the new ARG people's fault. This was the writers and editor's fault. You do not use real businesses. Especially in something like this. FNAF should have known better given the fanbase, and it wasn't responsible for them to do this. caedyn_t8796: uh-oh matt'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't understand how this came to be in the first place, "Hey i saw your company/name in a book and I wanted to ask. WHAT DO YOU KNOW" 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's all I'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'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'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'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'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't apologize for other people'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't and shouldn'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'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 "arg" 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't say I'm surprised, really. Definitely wasn't your intention, I'm aware, but I think it was a bit of a brainfart to think that the FNaF community specifically wouldn'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'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'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't Quantum TV Doxs act Man'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'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'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'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'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'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&t=0m57s">0:57</a> Maybe the files you are looking for are in the demo. Sadly it isn't available in the play store anymore. Luckily you can find the files online. Miranda Keeffe: Wow, can'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 "fnaf"? 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'm glad nobody got hurt. I'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'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'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: "Never in the history of my teachings have I had a class this bad" 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'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'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: "I'm not mad, just dissapointed" 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't happen again, shows a great deal of both maturity and responsibility. I'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'T ADD AND ADS OR ANYTHING FOR THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO. LOVE YOU TEAM THEORY!! 👍👍 Levi: Honey, new "MatPat apology video where he apologizes for something he really shouldn't apologize for because really it's not his fault but rather the fault of a community whose participants lack certain right and wrong critical thinking skills" dropped. Charlie Scene: MattPat please help us with the fixing of youtubes actions. Actman is being targeted by levels of absurd that haven't been seen by youtube in a long while. They'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'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't take anything from mentioned locations unless it is explicitly mentioned you can do so in the ARG. Like don't steal clues, don't vandalize set pieces or other people's property. Take pictures and share them but don'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'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'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't even a throey video, yet still entertaining. diegamer23 25: The whole start of the video is just "I'm not mad, just dissapointed." The Jon Brown Show: I'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 idknamme: You know it's serious when he's on the couch Kalsoom Khan: 💖 микола цудний: i think scott should clear somethings.... Noah Zuniga: 👀🛢🍸🫒🚍🚇🚘🚊🚔🚖🚆🚉 neros: Mad respect methew, mad respect :) skellington15: Speaking of Drama, there something behind the fact there's still no Deltarune Chapter 2 theory? Sspy13: What a wild thing to have to adress in a 10 min video kilderok: Does matpat seem kinda....coked out here? I'm getting exhausted just watching this video. O____O Crazy Bobert: I knew this video was gonna happen LOLOL Dioji Woolf: Truly the darkest timeline. Fabio Rizzo: So...<br>What happened?

Adrick Hunter: The TLDR.<br><br>THIS IS NOT FANTASY BECOMING REALITY! LEARN TO DIVIDE REALITY FROM FANTASY, IF YOU CAN'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'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'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'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'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 "Disclaimer! Don't call businesses" or something then link this video<br><br>(I didn't know the etiquette of how to do a arg. And I figured calling places would factor into it, but for one thing, I'm too lazy for arg. Related stuff so I just watch the game theory videos on them, plus I'm too phone shy lol) Lil Nugget: Wait is this an apology and there wasn'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've been so easy to go "y'all got NO common sense, huh" LOL Cy-Draco Studios: Lol my cousin had to answer a phone call, and said "If you're not gonna order, SHUT THE F*CK UP AND LEAVE US ALONE." CyDragon2: Huge props to The Theorists here on youtube trying to help clean up such a mess but I don'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's an inconvenience but it'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'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't Matpat literally host his own ARG at one point? Shouldn't he of maybe thought about this in hindsight since he'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+ Subreon: judging by the panicked response. i'm guessing some lawsuits were threatened The Jon Brown Show: Why do I feel like this is part of the arg looking at the title 😂 Grant Slater: I’m gonna speak some wise words rn….<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><i>deep inhale</i><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><b>a toddler was running around and they fell and it was so funny</b> 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's possible that hypothetically FNAF could build an actual real world "abandoned Freddie restaurant" 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'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't mean you should go to to any abandoned pizza restaurants of any kind. Unless it's really obviously been reopened to the public it's not part of an ARG it'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't. Like the whole escape room thing, I wouldn't really use the word obvious here cause if the clues were really obvious it wouldn't be a puzzle but realize that they would design things to intentionally be part of the puzzle. You shouldn'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'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're either too young or stupid to participate in ARGs. This has never been a large scale problem in the 15+ years I've followed ARGs, that'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'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't have Twitter or Reddit so I would have never gotten this info with out this video Mr anomalous Fagan: Hello there, I'm looking for a song and/or YouTube video which I haven't seen in years and I was wondering if anyone seen either of them AwfulTurtle: Early ChaneLinks: What does arg stand for? The40YrOldG33K: Nice leather jacket Leham: Hey Matt where did you get the leather jacket or does anyone else know? 33Dream Studios: you know that it's serious when MatPat doesn't want us to hunt an ARG phillgame: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justice">#JUSTICE</a> FOR ACTMAN! Atherasia: how tf is this happening again? did we learn nothing from the first fnaf'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'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'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. Nathan Taylor: HELLLLOOO INTERnet! Welcome to my impromptu unscripted, scripted video.

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'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'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 weshuiz13: The GT theorists fan base are a force not to be wrackened with Layton pro 🎩⚡: Probably one of the most of not the most sincere apology video I’ve seen, thanks for taking quick action to fix this Murathan Balık: Please share this with everyone you know that might have watch the previous video they might've not seen this. It is really important Allante Kelley: My boy that's a nice jacket クレイジー マツキ | Crazy Matsuki: I was expecting the outro saying that all he said was, "But hey It's all just a theory..." 😁<br>On the side note. Yes, MatPat is right and huge respect! Screenshot v1nce: I feel like a kid in a class where the teacher is giving a speech on how, "we won't be able to do these fun things if you act that way," because of some troublemaking kids.

LegoPlayz164 🇺🇦: This video sounded like a nice teacher being slightly ticked off lol Casey Reader: I really appreciate that he always apologizes, as soon as possible, even when it's not actually his fault - like this was a completely unintended consequence of something that he did and could never have predicted, but he's genuinely sincere in his apology and that's a very rare thing to find TheTubaMan: 863 moment MitsiWivSumSalt: yall i think this is the new testament Duckla the duc: I love how you no one here sleeps I literally have school at 6:00am so I have 3 hours of sleep Elise Baca: I feel really bad for Mat.

You're a real one, Mat, and it's why your channels are my favorite on YouTube ItIsPuma: Any thoughts on TheActMan and his situation? Enderarmy: I agree. Please don't harass my local dominoes. Water1234: +rep <br><br>Great guy and is sincere. kobra6660: I can'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't share others' personal data, but also be aware of sharing your own.<br><br>Saying that you'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'd recommend using a throw away account. It's not the best solution but it's better than nothing. bcholla: Uh, what’s an ARG? Astro: Wait... is that... stubble?... beard pat? u there?

I will send this to my boss and hopefully open our phones again. Zero Two: I just see matpat hearing about this and letting out a long faaaaaaaaaaaaak. Astro: That backfired horribly Bread: This should be in a text document and pinned at the top of the comment section or first thing in the description of any arg episode.

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'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's not your viewers that were wrong for calling it was YOU who was wrong for not doing this video before the other video Wader Boi0502: I thought he was gonna get canceled ngl Alucard Huskasai: Felix the shark is real.

Would be kinda funny skye munday: I havnt even finnished the silver eyes GFYFR: This is what happens when 14 year olds think they're detectives Quicknoodle: please do a video on happy meat farms which is more like film theory but it is an ARG and would be great if you covered it Krak: Whatever the other comment says follow it! ATruePanda: When he said the line on "It seems like everybody has an ARG now" I was like "Nah it's not that serious" 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'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'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't do anything with args. You can NEVER be trusted by me. Kit Kup: I haven't watched many theorist videos recently, but I can tell when Mat is serious so I had to watch. Skitzo99: I honestly think it's stupid it came this far to where MatPat actually had to bring it up to us, I'm always a loyal theorist, but this is not only too far, but it'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'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 "guidelines" 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'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'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'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's really well documented, so you can find the whole process. I recommend it. Theo Storr: Gee you look old Nataninko: Me who didn'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'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'm a few hours late just you keep posting when it'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's just a theory tho..... wait for a signal<br>(?) (?) (?) just don't know what I'm sayin' 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't understand args, what is happening? I searched on google to find out but i don'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't his fault. Traveller: Matpat'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's at night and if it's a place you don'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 "Common sense".<br><br>It's common sense to NEVER share someone else's information.<br>it's common sense to not call companies about things that are completely unrelated.<br>It'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's not just WAY outside common sense, it'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've been more than likely prevented. But that's the beauty of hindsight.. grimace: I'm glad you made this video :) Brianna Velasquez: new lore in minecaft Nonante Hivernote: Here's some little lessons in ARG,<br>This is going down in history,<br>If you wanna be a theorist number one,<br>You'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'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'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's the FNAF community into now... Aidan Wells: Hey Matt thought I'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's not publicly available there'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&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's serious because he's wearing the Black leather jacket. were998: E Essie: Damn MatPat is lecturing all of us Jervis-Jehan Laurent: Y'all listen to Matpat cause he's explaining and telling true facts J F: I'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'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'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 & honestly the most classic ARG in my opinion Griddle: Woof PurpleZombie: How come you haven't deleted/privated/unlisted that video?<br>Also the reason this "arg" didn't work is because it'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've bein watching u for years now<br>And I'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've been doing this for years. What'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've have used another thumbnail. Maybe a black screen saying "I messed up" or something. chooty jr: Agree!<br>But one little problem: beside my house there is a pizzeria called Freddy's.<br>Not joking they even have the bear and everything Brandon Bluhm Velázquez: Guess it'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'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'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! <3 Grey White: This ain'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'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'd put it on private property by mistake and the owners weren't cool with it, so that was actually a great example to use! Arararagi-san: As I'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'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'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'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's hope that something like this doesn'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 "I don't have a plan, I just hate theirs" sort of sentiment. Chef'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'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'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'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'm getting a talk from my dad for something my brother did. The comparison is uncanny SasskeeperXanth: I'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'm relieved it wasn't that bad, and glad that it'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'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'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't see any so I'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 "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'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'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>"I NEVER expected this to happen..."<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'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'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 'surprised' when things start going awry, It's honestly very sad to see!<br>I genuinely believe you'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'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's spam but it wouldn't be seen as spam T Newman: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&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'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's as i was eating domino'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've been a watcher for years now and I'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'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'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'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 nomnom: no. CypherTrippin: matpat is a bigman Spartan 1337: What’s arg CrazedDino: This was fast Spartan 1337: Imagine working at a random store and it’s some kid asking about fnaf secrets lol Ginja Ninja: Hi Omesa: What the- 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'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'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.

This is one of the reasons I adore this channel. Raydation: Ironic how the book made that light jab saying "let the author tell the story", then THIS happen lol K: completely unrelated, but I like how you feel a slight sense of anger from Matpat'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: "such devastation this was not my intention" Scribble: I have a FNaF theory pls read Henry is glitch trap not gonna explain it get this to mat pat see if he could figure out how RespectMathias: Felix the shark - looks like fnaf jumped the shark Beef: Thank you Mr. Patrick for informing the masses about proper ARG etiquette MrSandman127: I must say, because I'm a fan of the channel:<br>1) <i>MatPat, you look like you could use some pillowtime. I hope you're doing well.</i> and;<br>2) <i>What'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's jump in again! Thomas Baby Eater: You're an influencer, you should've expected this from your fans by now ZaexTheKitten: the same rules for geocaching should apply to ARGs Schizo Framia: Who would’ve known A Moist Walrus: woof this got out of hand fast 0.o MrGermandeutsch: Thank you MatPat. zkrftr3: I still have no idea what arg means but I’m glad that that you got that message out Cubic_Slate: Sorry.

Mary Perez: They could of put on their phones do not disturb on Kaitlyn Horton: Can you add this info to the already posted video some how edit it? Rodolfo Guzman: W mat WebbanationX: Deeeeeeeyuuuuuuuum, you actually had to post this Kuru Shimu: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&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're going to figure this out and it'll turn out there'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's point gun at their head just make sure they really don'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't mad, he'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! iamaperson: i was ringing them but then i hung up because i thought it was cheating or innapropite Valdemar Björk: E Cake Moss: yo my friend did well stared a arg Sonic X: Hey mat pat I understand this bro 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: "But hey, that's not a theory.<br><br>THAT'S ILLEGAL" 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'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'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'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'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'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&t=10m13s">10:13</a> MatPat used the endline of Amoeba Sisters Ryan Egeler: Never thought I'd see the day where I'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't misconstrue the serious context of the words he was saying. I appreciate the video even though I don'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'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's a delicate thing but a sad thing to creeperArt: So no wonder some of these stories are "scrapped" 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 "Leave no trace" bullet point to your list. When visiting these places, you don'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'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's character was also phone guy. And what if Scott'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'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't a bad guy, but you can'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 "don'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'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'm so proud to be part of this community and I respect Matt so much even if our community doesn't make the most thought out decisions. My respect for Matt was high but it'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 <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 & thanks to the Pandemic it’s become logistically impossible & 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'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's our MatPat Loki Ruiz: I heard about the problem on the news. And didn'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'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 "hmm can't help. Oh well." And left it at that. But I kinda figured some folks might not. I'm glad that there'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'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'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'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'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'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&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 "WAIT FOR THE CREATOR OR COMPANY TO ADDRESS IT/GIVE A HINT". I'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'll tell you where to go and who to call if you're patient enough. So it'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'm very impressed by Mat's dedication, very nice seeing responsibility from him on on problem he didn'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't really care about lore or mysteries in anything (but only a few things). what even is ARG'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'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't do stupid stuff?

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&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're close everyone, keep brute forcing it we'll crack it soon taryn frank: that wasn’t a game theory, but a game law Kringy Klips: what's an arg? Kilean: Honestly is this why that story was scrapped in the first place they didn'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't have broken Samantha Schmidt: Can anyone clarify what an ARG is? Sam Royale: Matpat- " Never saw this coming."<br>Me-<br>Thats why its called "JUST A THEORY!!"<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>"Things just went from 0 to 100 real quick."</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'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'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'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'm just gonna never click on anything matpat related on Twitter cause my God the hate he gets there. I'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'm watching this at midnight just cause I can'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'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'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'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't say "Sorry, but..." or "I understand what you were doing but..." he just straight out said "This is unacceptable, so stop it." 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's the kind of person who I want to be in the future MrWhiteOut: It'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, "I'm not mad, Just disappointed" 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't solve FNAF then don'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!! <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'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 veres david: <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/15oQOMIBHX224Nz1rES28_f_iwCqbwrlD/view?usp=drivesdk">https://drive.google.com/file/d/15oQOMIBHX224Nz1rES28_f_iwCqbwrlD/view?usp=drivesdk</a> Crazy Dud 33: ARG's are a new, recent phenomenon. Most activities have rules of propriety. Since these are new, the rules haven'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: "Night Mind" 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's best to at least go buy something from them aswell WarbossVanZwam: MatPat has stubble, that's how you know the video'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 "canceled". He handled this in a very complete and respectful way, absolutely wonderful. Carson Hayes: Jesus Christ loves you Emani Petrus: I ain'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's private information. Don'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'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'm smart and respectful<br>That'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'd make a great meta or unfiction story Professor melon: I'm so glad this video isn't just an "I'm disappointed in you," 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'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's easy to google things-<br>And some places in games can be made up- 😔 Dragoș Gabriel Rad: Matpat sometimes you'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'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't your fault and you still addressed it. I'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'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't relevant, but if you think about it the Afton family members embody some of the 7 deadly sins. William'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'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>"that's what they want us to think, we should dig EVEN deeper!" WiFi.2347: You forgot ARG's don'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'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.

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&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'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'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're lucky to have matpat as the face of the theory community on YT. he addressed the problem and solved it. everyone doing "apology videos" 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'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'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't care for: FNAF & 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.

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'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'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.

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've just been one of those individuals watching the video and now I feel I'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'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'm gonna put a link too this video on my gamejolt if you don't mind??? Cause it'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'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'm certain don't take into consideration that real world businesses have nothing to do with made up content like ARG's. Most ARG content I'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'm not saying younger kids shouldn'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, "Hey, I'm sorry. Please stop this. HERE IS A SOLUTION." This does make sense though since this is likely a lot of young zoomers, who sadly weren't taught a lot of etiquette to begin with, who made the calls. Is it their fault? No. The internet still doesn't have any publicly talked about etiquette. Mistakes happen and everyone makes them. There'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's the oldest (that I know) ARG that'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 "To be absolutely crystal clear beyond a reasonable doubt: STOP." 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's comments, <b>contain very important information when it comes to </b><b><i>all</i></b><b> ARGs</b><br>Although I'm not aware of <i>every</i> ARG that has ever existed, I have yet to see any end prematurely, and it'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 "yo do you got that fnaf game lore 🤓" 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'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'm fairly sure is a small town, we've learned, I just didn'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 'masquerade', 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'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'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's minecraft lore videos Henry Davis: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=0m00s">0:00</a> to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=10m16s">10:16</a> listen to this stuff GODOFAWSOMENESS1: Great video. Jœ: Another rule: do NOT follow anyone to any "back rooms" 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's razor at its finest; seems to be too frequent these days. You (MatPat) have WAAY to much faith in humanity to act responsible & to have respectable human decency. Better make a bunch of scripts for different variations of incidents to come! aquesada7182: You shouldn'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'm just saying, the sky the limit with ARG's and don't get me started with pokemon go hahaha TheLegitPotato: Obligatory comment to boost the algorithm Santa Clorita: Ok,sorry:( Great White Flame: I didn't expect anything like this to happen at all. :S Blaster man1129: Is it me or does matpat look like he's lost a lot of sleep from this problem Nate: I apperciate you taking responsibility for your actions. You'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'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 "arg" didn'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'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'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.

Surrounded by nothing but a bunch of pranksters, jokesters, and idiots aren'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&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.

I thought everyone would see it like that but apparently some didn'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't see the video (not into FNAF) in question, but did see a lot of twitter posts/comments about it. Ecoryzer: beep boop I'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'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.

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'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 Here is a Egg: When Scott cawthon throws you a nail instead of a bone TaterTOTS: L fans Baked Potato Minecraft: I dare you to make a geometry dash theory. Sydni J.: ive never respected a creator more RocketRooster: Uh, awkward. Jadyn Wheeler: I love this video, it’s perfect Anna Garza: I m sad bumbum: What does ARG mean Ishizu Ishtar: Better Than dream'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.

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.

As someone who was friends with Ronnie I'm a bit disappointed it had to come to this. Hopefully it levels out and there isn'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.

Anon Anon: I also want to point out to the idiots who harrassed said actual places....<br><br><b>what makes you think Matt's team didn't do it or you know.... think just alittle bit to realize why they didn'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't mean we should stop the FNaF ARG. we should just Follow Matt'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't think matpat did anything wrong in the initial vid. It's the internet going crazy and folks getting caught up doing things they shouldn'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'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's not your fault that idiots on the internet decide to do something dumb IceBryker: mad respect, mcmichael jordan of the 21st century FoNgThOnG: Whaaaaat? Gamers being annoying and stupid again? Say it isn't so. ThatOneGuy: Got it 👍 Pneumonia Nakey: Thanks mat Squidcaster: matpat is both the most overrated and underrated youtube creator ever Hassan Tahir: Matpat still showing up in the dopest jackets. Mad respect. Cherry Treats Art: You've handled this really well and responsibly! Elijah Cole: I want that jacket 🤯🤯 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'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 "evidence" that guided the viewer to "yes" 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't get a hard "Yes, there is an arg" 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'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'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't call anyone or do anything dangerous or against the law, right?<br>That's what I got but I still won't do the arg because I don'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!❤ Ari Blue: Thanks for posting! MrFoxGaming69: What is arg hunt Rebirth: gigachad move, gigachad response, gigachad swiftness. 20/10 My Luck: I find that Matt Patt is protecting us from anything that might hurt the community and all of us,we salute and respect u Matt adam bump: Yeah that’s pretty ridiculous no one wants that kinda thing to interrupt daily life. 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 ANDRE VAUGHAN: my guy has his internet name as a hashtag... well done, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23matpat">#MatPat</a>! Nickyo64: Wow this must be bad Dave Wilson: respect Jeff Sandefur: THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!!! 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'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'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'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'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're really an inspiration to us all. Jade Theorist: Let'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 MrEtherOck: They say Pandora futilely attempted to hold back what she had unleashed Ness The comic: Props to you theory man kay: this is how you do an apology video Jennifer Thissell: i actually already saw this cuz of theft king’s stream but I wanna see the original <b>ur one this one</b> big_joe: Bruh GooseStuff: If I get a "Finally it's here" Comment, I'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'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'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's sugarcoating it Veronica_is_here: Thanks Matpat :> 24jbi: OMG LOL WHY DID THEY DO THAT Roy Rose: When your respectfully told to grow tf up Digital Clown: It'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't mad, he's just disappointed Someone :]: Fedy arg Gacha~Cherrie Masu-Quie: I am suddenly glad that I didn't dig far into clues.<br>I found a few resurant numbers, But I didn't call.<br>I'm so glad I didn'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 & 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'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'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'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's not your fault Haroldo Milian: <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's kind of the original ARG searching concept. I don'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't think I'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've done!<br><br>Don't get me wrong, it'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'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'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 & calling places, I'm talking about some hidden lore stuff in the coloring/drawing books etc. <b>I truly feel there'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'm so sorry about what's going on mattpatt, I'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'm gonna give the businesses that I have called about this a gift of apology. ZUnknownFox: Tbh I never understood ARG's and never got involved in them. Kentama: FNAF puts the "fan" in "fanatic". 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's sitting on the couch u know he'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't Mat's fault, NEVER in the video was he like "HEY! Go and call up random businesses, asking about FNAF LORE" 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 "Delicious Pizza" ??? Yeet Feet: I don'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'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'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'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'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 - "Stop the FNAF ARG hunt"<br>FNAF fans - "No" 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'T SURPRISED BUT DAMNZZZ Me King: I'm sorry :( Skyler Dowell: He ended the video with the words, "Stay Curious" 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's, "Not Penny's Boat." The episode that revealed it wasn't Penny's boat was called "The Beginning of the End." 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 "ringed robot." 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'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't this like the 5th "I am sorry" or "I was wrong" 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't go too far when doing arg hunting my friends scoopDwoop: our boy finally got his dad beard Bibbay 22: <a href="https://youtu.be/PTUvlAgE1FY">https://youtu.be/PTUvlAgE1FY</a> 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'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'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'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&t=1m30s">1:30</a> he actually starts Sans Kusanagi: Of course.. i must dig into this grave... Fazbear it can't possibly be a real grave with a name like that. IT'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. Braeden O'Brien: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%2349min">#49min</a> 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 "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" 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'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'm worried for them and the local law enforcement. I'm worried some may take the exploration too far. To tie in with Matt'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'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 DrakeMystic: Yeah Masaiyn Francois: 👋👏👋👏👋👏👋👏👋👏👋👏👋 Professor Manhattan: I hate to be the village idiot but what is an ARG? 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'm sorry DadPat, It won'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't really think much of it. Now I can't help but wonder. Kikin42: still didn't cover the whole supporting autisum speaks, and if they still do. Eh_Meh_Nyeh: Lmao, saw this coming salayah: Condensed Guidelines:<br>1. Don’t dox<br>2. Don’t hack<br>3. Don’t trespass<br>4. Don’t call<br>5. Don’t spam Anna Laurent: Exactly 😀 Mr grape: I did not know this was happening I just woke up Nightlite: Skip skop blippity blop Imbecile Lol: <b>inhale</b> no 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'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'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: "not my fault this happened" 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'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'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's completely right, the solution is in being direct about rules and guidelines from this point on. It's not just about pointing out what went wrong, but more importantly what is going to change to prevent further incidents. ShinyRust: (: 15098D: FNAF Fever redhot 430: Do food theory on spongebob or sonic popsicle KillerCosmo: Beard pat Hanna Clifford: Stop being a YouTuber reflection: I think I did it LEEEROY JENKINNNS: so responsible and amirable!!!! Big respect! 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'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't stop the fnaf hunt Matpat keep going you will solve it one day Deku Lion: What an absolute king! Addressing issues and giving solutions ❤🎉 William Smith: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k0SmqbBIpQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k0SmqbBIpQ</a> Astaroth49.

Secetion: "hello internet welcome to the casting couch videos" NinjagoLover2011: Matt Pat: <b>concerned dad mode</b> Gasujuhusg: No I’m gonna do it Mr. Player: Mission complete<br>Respect+ 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.

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's always scary seeing this guy having to take the sit down. I'm glad he's bringing this issue up. M Logitic: Our group loves what you do, and we all understand.

I've never heard of ARGs. GalaxyBoi909: It'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't happen again. Easy way to tell that he's an amazing content creator and human being.

Im glad you addressed it. A Normal Person: XD Swazyboss224: This whole situation blew way out of the water. Atomic Smurf: My brother in Christ, you are the one fanning the flames Ultimate Upgrade: But remember it's not a theory, it's a reality <br>I never tried ARG but at least now, I understand the basic rule failed lab experiment number 7: Anyone else remember this happening once before. Waffles the return of the syrup: Why does this feel like a class preparing to go somewhere for a Field trip Shadowknight: Simply stop Gigi is a Weirdo: Yikes I didn’t except that to happen Tutu Animações: When he sits on the couch without being live, you know things got serious 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't mad at you guys he is just disappointed because he knows you are better than this. <br>Don'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.. .. .

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'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's episode of an ARG created by an author back in the..80's I think(?)..it'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. Alo P: MatPat for prez. Straight up PinkCoatCommie: Thank you for saying this!! Cozy Burrito: Thank God history didn't repeat itself, nice call mat Michelle E: It really is too bad that Unfinction isn’t around anymore.

Cake Crimson: “Finally it’s here”<br>Bots, Bots, Bots, oh so many Bots. OniTheOtaku 鬼: I love DadPat Hanna Fardew: So Matt, did you make your flight out? yourin8er: I can’t call GameStop about battle toads? Content delivery guy: imagine your working at mcdonalds at wherever the book mentioned and you get a call from a kid thats like (in little timmy voice) "hello uh i saw game theory's new video and uh i wanted to know if you knew about this murderous robotic shark named uh felix" and you are not in the fnaf fandom or are into the lore at all Linoonehat: I'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'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 "scrapped ARG" thing too seriously Kanade solos your faves: helqlqo Bibi TheArtNerd: Oh are so pure, thank you for talking about this right when you heard about it. And you actually apologized for real, unlike some other creators, thank you! And keep doing what your doing! Meme BEANS: Mat had 35 minutes left to get out of there Seb Seb: bruh didnt the video come out 2 days ago?????????????? Zendrelax: I don't have anything to add, but I'm commenting to boost engagement, in the hopes that helps it reach everyone who needs to see it. Aidang: Thank you so much for addressing this, and thank you for providing a solution and not just saying 'don't do this' Bergerboss1st: Matpat your right and I hope everyone involved listens Mr. Coffee: Did you hear guys? He told us to keep looking! He is clearly held hostage by William Afton! Red Dosu: Y’all Fr calling some companies about fnaf…FR?!? lunakat45: See, you know it wasn’t me because I have a little thing called ✨social anxiety✨(I can’t even call my friends) retro: Mate we didn'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't, donating to such a "Charity" 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 "active" FNaF fans are kids who don't know better. I'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 "yeppp". 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. Lost K1D: #8 of the 10 commandments of ARGs Thou shalt not seek what "lies behind" the curtains Saint Chadam: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeforActMan</a> AgentWuT: Hah wait until you play fnaf plus and find new lore because it's a different universe Jonathan Lorenzo: Kim star about to say something 😂 NotDominic: Imagine one day you get hundreds of random calls about somebody named Freddy. PlumpButton7732: Fortinaiti y la babaje😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭 NihilistSolitude: Disappointed was planning on digging holes at random property in Utah : ( Dino 468: WARDEN LORE PLEASE Knight Gale: Kinda like keystone motel and the Steven universe fandom; damn y’all what were you thinking. Bad Dragonite: Sorta reminds me of the Halo 2 marketing ARG where an actor had to break character over the phone to tell a guy in a hurricane to take shelter 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. Terry Hager: Hey Matpat mind trying to figure out where the PBS Kids show "Odd Squad" is geographically at wrathful Eel3660: Oh god, that got out of hand fast youssef: Stuff going serious when he sitting on the couch The Whole Cake: Well that was quick. 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. Harley Ellis: Surprised you're surprised. Aria Kurinoumi: I go to like the video and i realize…. I already liked it GoodGamerGabbs / GGgabbs: "HELLO INTERNET, WELCOME TO ARG THEORY" YouKnoWho: Hang in there. We're almost ready. 💯sour apple playz💯: All that work Cashier Gaming: Thank you for addressing this, much love. Frogboyaidan: Ok Fire-Blade: Man just watching this makes me realize Mat is an amazing father, he talks about the problem, understands the other side and makes a solution, it's awesome LilCalebW: Niiiice swapdev: My cuz called them my bad bro my bad iamasteriix: Going to be real funny if he ends this with the classic, It's just a theory!<br><br>Ok, he didn't.

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's just had and rude. gamehead91: It's only partially about etiquette, I think there'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't sell out, he doesn't cover up or try to hide from his mistakes, he doesn'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't try to manipulate his fans into idolizing him and defending him so he doesn't have to defend himself. it'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'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"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: "Never share around adresses or numbers"<br><br>Me who has depressed friends: "Guess I'll not share the suicide prevention number"<br><br><b>This is a meme please help friends in need</b> az zahar: To whoever tries to justify their wrongdoings and said "it's just for content/game", "no harms done". You're part of the problem. Sloth7D: what'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 <3 。*゚。c e l e s t i a 。*♡: I'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'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'll be somewhere and give updates where possible), check cell service where you're going or have a handheld gps and make sure they're charged <br>Don't advertise on social media that you're going to be gone if traveling (just a general traveling thing to avoid burglary) <br>Take plenty of snacks and water. If you're not going to see any major landmarks to navigate or remember them, assume you'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'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'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'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't stop<br>Once the internet has put their mind to something they won'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'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 "don't use private locations" 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😂😂😂😂 Ace Karma: This isn’t knew.

Declan McComas: how much do you want to bet he'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're okay Matpat! Mrtop Bald: I respect it I didn't expect someone to do this either after the whole find the real freddy'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 Team Sora: Thanks for putting this out as soon as you did.

HuskDoesStuff: Couchpat saves the day again, thanks for addressing this! flamenskall: is an alternate universe I'm living in right now<br>no fake crying<br>no sigh<br>no this isn'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'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'm most devastated that Mat isn'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'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's ok papa Hayley Robetoy: I'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'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'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's great than you address it and got a solution for the problem illioptopede: Scott's gonna realize yall found out about the ARG and be like "oh shoot i didnt put the thing there!" 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 Samscorch82: <b>no</b> JKíng $nake: Do the Muse Arg with Alex Bale (The SpongeBob Guy) MAKE A THEORY MATPAT PLZ DAWG💯🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23themusearg">#THEMUSEARG</a> humandiii: Jus commenting to do my part for the algorithm the great lumberjack King: This is EXTREMELY important!!

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's calling me out for litterly not doing anything becouse I'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'm just looking through the fnaf color book cause I have it. That's all I'm doing to help Nova Negative: I’m convinced matpat is a completely different person now he ain’t even look the same Mr. Recinos: Lol I like how the community got scolded. Everytime he says stop, I begin to crack up. But seriously guys come on. Bryson Lobb: 58mins=55k likes Sz123: Where is pyro apalogy video Mask on2Fite: Ok Block_of_cheese: im very dumb and I can't keep up, can someone tell me where he's going? Ross the bad piggy: I knew this would happen it needs to stop respect for talking about it NatYoBoi: thanks, man :) I'm Bored Studios: 💛 SomeCrazyGuy: yooo hes growin a beard A N C: Are you going to apologize for your transphobia, though? floormatt64: Once again matpat handles a situation in a great and calm manner welcome to reality: Hmmmmmmmmmm🤔🤔 ok. T.V: Thank you for talking about this it is a very appropriate to be talked about D.J. Irla: Too little too late isn'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's videos like these that remind me why MatPat is my favorite. MegaChickenfish: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=9m12s">9:12</a> Since I don't see it as a top comment, there'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 CKD: what does ARG mean? /srs 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's off limits. Similar to how an arg might link a website built for it, you wouldn'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'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 "the secret box key". I'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'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're a nice guy though so of course you'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't even know it was a thing and I kinda feel like that one kid who looks at their siblings and go "what did you guys do?" 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't take "responsibility" 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't break laws. Don't attack anyone, don't spy on anyone, don't break the laws. Sean Lee: 🫠 Media Buff: k but i'm trying to be nic cage over here R99 USER: I can’t imagine being an employee getting a million phone calls about a video game ChevroHen: What is an ARG M- Dee and Jay: Wow.. just wow XLoqrdX: I have no idea about the "ARG" 😮💨🥲 infinitebutter: algorithm boost comment King LukeYT: I wasn't part of it.

A Fox Named Angel: Mat sounds like a disappointed father Gabby Adrales: no Juan: The fact that he had to make a video 💀 Jellycat6786: I wanted to put a few theory’s in the comments of that vid but I didn’t do it because it would talk about a year to finish reading Regulus11: You can tell this is serious because his hair is messy. Sherie Grunwald: i am happy he got on this as fast as he did before it got out of hand Anson Fisher: Rule 6 listen to almost every one's idea and don't just shoot them down -CAPTIAN_CRAZY-: he sounds like my teacher Bruno Poliseli: They a little confused but they got the spirit The Potato: Who ever finds this is a legend! 😎😎😎 Nicolette Horaites: Dear MatPat,<br>Props for addressing an issue more openly and honestly than any and all American politician today.<br>Sincerely,<br>Your health online community Kioku 記憶 Ch.: I think it would be all in control if the poeple investigating and searching clues all communicate via reddit or discord to prevent spam calls <br>Investigate as a whole is the best icam: i felt guilty watching this and i didn't even do anything 😦 Gamer Man: Hey Mat, this reminded me, I want to make an A.R.G. Any tips? SloothTooth: i love matpat FrostNuke: Who are you to make these rules? afifraiyan: No Jerry XIAO: Dude mat pat is a god. I have so much respect for this man. The fact he responded this quick is so respectful Symphonic Convergence: Here let me translate this tittle for you :<br>Matpat begs to not be sued into oblivion Vidhur Kariminlla: 51 minutes Count Moolah: imagine scam calls being annoying already then having thousands calling to ask about game related stuff😮💨 JoyfulAmy2020: I just found a megaplex theater in Utah Master 0ak: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23justiceforactman">#JusticeForActMan</a> Firegem: I'm just here for the theories but the whoopsie moment was a little funny admittedly. But yeah, don't bother normies with our nerd stuff folks 😅 Gabrielle Jewson: Respect. That’s it. Devon Rider: Great on you for addressing it immediately, I only saw that last video this afternoon and already something addressing it Cryo: Thanks Mat! You handled this very well and Im really glad that there are guidelines for beginner and experienced theorists to follow. Great vid, back to the search. I hate Furries and u should too: Nic 👍 Simple Shay69: Something is weird in fallout 4 they are eating 200 year old food but not getting sick and also how nuka cola uses dangerous materials🤔 death to gabi: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=5m59s">5:59</a> you can take your guide lines and shove them where the light dosent shine im not your slave not now or ever and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=6m39s">6:39</a> yeah you did miss a part the part where you sit on my middle finger rotate on it and choke on your blood Newt: This was handled very well props MatPat Markers: Shoot Hulises Perez: Hi Sierra Royalty: I absolutely applaud that this video isn't overly blamey/harsh, has absolutely no pussyfooting around the issue, and is completely constructive. I think it'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'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's responsibility and his duty to be like "Guys this is not okay, let's backtrack and lay out some community guidelines" 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'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. Anthony: Hi matpat Anton Baptista: W matpat as usual Nigel Little: A beacon of maturity and responsibility. Well said, well handled! tntboy: This is why we can’t have nice things Had me dying lol guy: Mat Patt Thanks for uploading it really makes my day Sage Moody: E Madelaine Dombeck: thank you Mat for doing this. you are a great leader and role model for this community Yourmomiscool201: but little kids are a bit funny with youtube videos Ordinary weirdo :D: 47 minutes ago? This is the earliest I've ever been lol The Diamond Planet: Honestly, I’m glad you’re rectifying your mistake Andy Hateley: STI Badge possibly? MasterMEME35: @The Game Theorists <br>I know an under rated arg that's still getting started, here it is<br><a href="https://m.youtube.com/c/Pastraspec/videos">https://m.youtube.com/c/Pastraspec/videos</a> realdragao: Auuugh Jay Rodriguez: Oh no we got hit with the dad pat he isn’t mad he’s disappointed ☹️ MetalOverlord: U can definitely tell Matt's getting older, those forehead wrinkles Poggerchamp302: His slightly ruffled up hair shows that he really tried to rush it out. Thanks for making sure to keep your community check! BinxFade: This video feels like matpat is apologizing for something their child did some guy named steve: That is some serious fatherless behavior NAM3L3SS*3ND3R: Let’s face it though I didn’t do it matpats the channels dad and we’re his children getting told off😅 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&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'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're his children that he raised from birth. Raising Ollie must've helped him communicate to his fanbase better. Anon Ymous: Mat is just trying to throw us off the trail 🤔 Ozone: Thank you so much for addressing this issue before it caused too much damage. Welcome to the FNAF community, everyone. Eclair: It’s so awesome that you called us out!!! Thanks for being kind about it, and our missteps. Anthony Poirier: I personally didn't make an effort to solve any args, yet I still feel guilty after watching this lol. The Mighty ReeN: Oxenfree had a very similar "go to this real world location" based arg too. Glad this is getting address before the inevitable Arg for Oxenfree 2 AidanGreenNinja: i also didn't see this one coming, MatPat is the GOAT Superchat: This is an important video. Hope this comment helps with the YouTube algorithm noticing this video. Alexander Scout: does not stop) Tsinestexicth d'Auwraum: Ok hes doing youtuber hands in the thumbnail. Let's see what you all did VESYN VYRARES: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wubbox: Hello matpat DragonKidSlayer3: GT's Audience is so inept that he has to tell yall how to be normal lmao Ken Hill: Wow. Lots of common sense here but I guess it’s not very common…to quote Philip Defranco, don’t be stupid, stupid. The Blev: dang he at the airport rn Caydenslayz: Did we just get a talking to from DadPat Ajitesh Chandra: When are you going to make a couch video regarding deltarune chapter 2 and why you won't be making a theory around that game? Please tell us. It's been almost half a year since the chapter has been released. Alex Rich: ever consider a game theory discord for fans to discuss? WorldOfMemes0: its actually funny that lore filled games have args, like thebinding of isaac Jokester Joker: DAY 4 OF ASKING YOU TO DO A THEORY ON THE HORROR GAME TATTLE TAILS <>-<> broden357: We just saw the dad side of matpat Moonwake534: I called them, I will not stop, I am your avatar Lazybabs: It's like the irl Freddy Fazbear's pizza place all over again 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'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.<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'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'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: "I think FNAF has an ARG planned that fell through."<br><br>A Few Hundred Kids: "Matt wants us to literally call the police." Gerardo Alzamora: Can you try And and Make A theory On My hero academia a cheeseburger: It'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'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'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 "Act safely and responsibly" as Rule 1. If you're going to do something that can potentially get you hurt - don't. No ARG is worth dying over. Even if the ARG'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'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: "Pull up a chair, lets talk" Ucok P. Sitohang: hi Ender Ponydragon: You're a really great guy Matt. That's all I can say. You're amazing. This is amazing, thank you. Mage: I'm not going to lie, though. Title that doesn't fully explain (which it can't, I'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't The Theorists Channel make their own Discord? It'd be cool if you manage it with ur own community and staff. Also volunteers who's familiar with the community and discord management. Not only it's organized, but it's also makes you, The Game Theorists, aware of what'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'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'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'd add, since a lot of Game Theory's demo is younger, if you need to go somewhere for an ARG, don't go alone and inform someone where you'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: "if you're calling domino's, make sure it's to order some delicious pizza"<br>so then you have no reason to call domino'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'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 "stay curious" line Bob Corn on the Cob: He is in the airport as we speak peanuts fan xy: He says he'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't expect anyone to respond to that video ThatNarwhalDude77: Chadpat Gentleman Gnar: This situation reminds me of the recent Warframe "Angels of Zariman" 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'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's never been anything on the same scale is like the cipher hunt. This may have been a lot of (younger) people's first real try at an arg. Thanks for addressing this in a proactive way guys! Gustavo M.: Ain'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'm amazed that Mattpat never expected this to happen because let'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's expanded and one of the manager decided to make another robot and that'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's too bad, living I Utah I'm not surprised this happened. Hey everyone just be a little more careful and kind with your research. Beary: I'm glad I'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'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'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's no ARG here.<br>It's not that they don't know how to follow the rules of an ARG. You literally weren't like "Hey, complete this ARG someone intended to put together", you said "Hey, I think there's an ARG here, find it."<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's a fun game there if they look hard enough. dontworryaboutit: Another reason why we can'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's kinda disgusting the way you try to pass blame btw.<br>I know I'm just a rando and no one really cares but I thought I'd let you know I'm unsubbing from all the Theorist channels. It's been sad to see the recent decline and I'm not with it anymore. batreopr8dman: No amount of lore is worth your (or anyone'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'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's for awhile now and I do agree it's awesome that mat addressed this because I had gotten into this theory and did some digging I hadn'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'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'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'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'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'm used to Human Haker9: Finally you addressed this Rusty Spoon: You know he's serious when he wears his leather jacket Indie Variety: why would you call a real person about something online? I don't understand that behavior. you really expect them to know what you're talking about? use the internet, newspapers, books... that's what computers and libraries are for. I'll leave it to Mat for the rest, but c'mon guys Jet -Jet: Yes dad, we'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'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 "waht 33 minutes ago? ok" 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 >:) 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'm more worried about couch pat than I am about emergency presidential addresses. Michael Daniels: I just watched it because I'm not a huge FNAF fan. I like your videos but, I don'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 "FUdGE Billy Lawyer is mad with me right now". Hope everything works okay man. It seemed like a legal obligation, but funny (not cool to do those things for ARG).. Funny thing, I'm from ARGentina.. It'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't followed, watch NightMind's videos on Jack Torrence.<br>Long story short though, "Jack" didn't follow some of these rules and if Nick wasn't as cautious as they were, it could'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'm glad you'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&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 "I'm not mad just disappointed" 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'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't believe some of the fandom took it to such extremes- All I did was investigate 90's maps. SnarkNSass: Oh dear😂 We live in the future 😂😂😂😂😂 Allie: Matpat is such an amazing creator. He entered Dadpat mode & 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'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'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'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'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 "cancelled". 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'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're about to tell the fans to stop visiting the post office, you should have expected this to happen Xander Erickson: I don't know why, and I surely didn't deep dive into this arg, but for some reason I feel like I need to say I'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'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'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's not perfect but I feel he's treated with disproportionate harshness when things like this happen. Spooky Clown: "If you're calling Domino's make sure you're calling Domino's for some delicious pizza"<br>So don't call Domino'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're currently covering. If you intend to continue to cover these games, I'd also recommend having someone on your writing staff who's intimately familiar with the 20 year history of the medium if you don'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'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 "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Delivery" 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'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'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'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: "Go look for clues!"<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 "arg" of ben and end TheLibermania: Can someone please tell me what an ARG is? slightlyclueless: Ollie's got some excellent lectures in his future. 😅 Kean: I was worried when I saw multiple tweets about that video on Twitter, so I'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'm very glad this got addressed so fast, I can'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'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't do anything but this feels like those dad talks that like make you wanna apologize, game theorists don'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't know this even happened LOL razor leaf: I'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's like going into a stranger's house without them knowing...just don't.)<br>Rule 4: Do Not Call Private Businesses Or Individuals (like the example stated by MatPat, call Domino's for Domino'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 "Remember Health Protocols." COVID is still running rampant, it won't be a huge problem in the future but it's still a problem now. Don't forget your masks and disinfectant. MW: Also is Mat Pat growing a beard again? •Natty Kat•: I'm just bummed no one has solved Crow yet lmao Ceilinh: I'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's is to look up the laws of the area where you're going. Make sure your aware of the differences between your area and the area you're going to. If you don'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't should. Don't just acknowledge the mistakes, suggest solutions. Many others don'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'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's just a theory! A commenting so the algorithm pushes this video theory! notonlyfish: E Fire Zilla: I didn'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 "Keystone Motel" 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's in future, this situation shouldn'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>"whar is freddy fazbeawe"<br><br>"What?" Redemptus Bintoro Naladewa: It's just 33 minutes ago but it's already have 200k+ viewers goodman854: I don't think that's your fault that's the books fault. They should not have named those places. Place blame accordingly to it'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. ѾΔⱢイᗴℜ$: ... MW: Well this was quick Erick Alanis: What does arg mean? AMGPlayz: When he make a "couch talk" 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 😅 Kaeden the Pigeon: wait so is this arg still on or no BrenGamer: When MatPat trends on twitter I just think “oh boy what is it now” ThunderMtn: Lol,oops deez comodyz: love the jacket Bump: Bump for the Bump God Jmaniac: Hey I have a new arg to recommend in place of this one pastra’s arg Milo Novik: I'm honestly not too surprised this happened. Cheezy: Uh oh, it’s madpat!!! Xpath: I don't get it. Iron Wolf: Dang, that was fast. Hope those places can change their voice-mail saying they don'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'm so sorry I had no idea what happened Soleil Star: Maybe another guideline could be don't be afraid to call others out (nice and polite ofc) if there's someone out on Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, wherever and they are not following the guidelines that MatPat put out don'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. ANTiBassMetal: <a href="https://youtu.be/TUTlOC4mVQ8">https://youtu.be/TUTlOC4mVQ8</a> what you have become ButteredPancake: i didnt do anything but i feel like my mom just yelled at me for misbehaving at a supermarket DarkFireType: Is it bad that this is the closest that we'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. Wompshrimp: Y’all fr took it that far? Like damn ^•ℋℴ𝓃ℯ𝓎𝓃𝓊𝓉_𝒸𝒽ℯℯ𝓇𝒾ℴ𝓈*ℒ𝓊𝓃𝒶𝒻𝓃𝒶𝒻•^: I just realized that he join in 2009 and yet I was born in 2009 in November tho xd A Bored Person: I didn't even know this was happening lol Levels Of Brendan: Please add no D pics. Just to make that clear before it happens. Albino Basilisk: Yikes. This is totally gonna be in the next fnaf iceberg, whenever that’s made 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't done jack to solve any of this potential ARG. That calls into question my self worth and value. It'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's kinda unsettling Curious Yoshi: Dadpat JesusLvU: Kids are crazy jamesthe27th: understandable fridge frisk: What's a arg? _EnTitY_: arg's are awsome!!

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't be a William Afton. WynterWyngz: Glad you did this video Epsilon Entertainment: Dang. Dad is not mad at us, he's just disappointed 😭 Go Guerrero: Something to add to the list... Quoting Philip Defranco "Don´t be stupid, stupid" V0m1tcuPc4k3z_Uwu *°·°: The way he always starts these types of videos gives me the same feeling as when your parent goes "we need to talk" type of thing Diglett: commenting for the algorhythm, love the channel <3 The demented geese: I love how you are making it known instead of letting it go that feels really responsible to me QuantumNutella: Thank you, MatPat. You are the best YouTuber. 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't want someone to do it to you, don'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'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't really care for the arg but I'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 Parker life: I did it finish the video Layla: 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 SSG: E Games R’ Us 9792: NO GeeklingNo1: Couch videos are serious. Everyone take notes. wilam black: His jacket is cool. Like the black on blue. Burnadene Basson: Claim your "Didn't do anything but feel awful" ticket here 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'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'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? The_poopet3316: It was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=10m03s">10:03</a> when I saw this video 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'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'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't have done it this quickly Personian: We just got a life lesson from our boy Mat Laura Mauck: that's not MatPat. that's DadPat 😅 love it though ParcormasterYesIknowIspelleditwrong.: Don'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'm not even going to watch the video but how about we just stop with the 5 nights are Freddy stuff all. It's gone really old and at this point it'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 Innocent Child : This really proves how dedicated us theorists are. Almost too dedicated... Ranger Furby: CHAOS CHAOS HUHAH Namenotfound: The game theory EPIC NOVEL!!!!!!! Lukas Johnson: something i would expect from the fnaf fanbase 💀 venice: thanks dadpat Argentum Staar: Never underestimate a crowds' 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&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's nothing saying that it's wrong, it shouldn't be a question "ohh I'll be really quick about it, please..." but consider the aftermath & 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 & 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's ok to have lost all hope in humanity. RealMightyMiles: I ❤ U MatPat Videos stevie: Great video MatPat & 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.

Hello hello? I wanted to record a message for you..." OdinCorp: Harassment is bad but still glad no one got physically hurt ❤️ DB Alex: Matpat talks like Philly D in these serious situations Rosco Bosco: Are we even entirely sure that Scott actually is doing and ARG? Like yeah the theory pointed out that there could be a connection to the real world but was this what Scott actually planned? Upshot: thank you for addressing the situation safiya dopwell: I'm sorry, I didn't do anything but I'm sorry☹ Andrew Ponder: No. Anarcho Josh: Imagine not being responsible with this kind of fanbase.

Son of a Pirate: I wanna make a GTA V ARG go around L.A. and Orange County that's it. ClarkD films: 3 thousanth Choo_HeHimLVL3: Excellent video, very clear, and well reasoned. Thank you for ensuring that the fun is responsible, and helping others to do the same. Samash32: ok dad Spider Savour: You forgot have fun, drink coffee, sleep well, stay healthy, eat food, and if your young get permissions from your parents ChaseLux: Our dad has spoken Natalie Bunch: Ohhh we getting a talking from papa MatPat 😳 Goodguy Typhlosion: well now i know the proper rules to follow just in case i ever want to be a part of an ARG in the future.

He's worried we'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 rasenraikiri: Respect for doing this it's messed up how you even have to do this in the first place though common sense really isn't common anymore 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'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's legit terrifying. I'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 "apology" type videos. I feel like his channel is being slowly overrun by sensitive twitter users. Please don't blame him for other people's mistakes and don't act like those mistakes are the end of the world. Ozzy: 2 days ago ppl were shittin on Mat, now everyone's just like "Yeah i respect him" 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 DylanTheEpicGuy: I got some lore for you it was AyoDen ARG. Enjoy those Matpat 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't have a better YouTuber than him. You did great Mat!

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't do anything dangerous for a game. Champus Clipz: Excuse me theorists... what'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't even need to be said. Tribleman247: This has such "dad talking to his kids before the parents go on vacation" 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 "ARG etiquette" just to help make it easier to spot or along that line?<br>Edit: changed from "vr etiquette to "ARG etiquette". renzakijho RMA: jeez wtf did matpat'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," Don't be stupid, stupid." 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'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: :( ZBird: Rules to stick to for any ARG. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtmtEgSADgs&t=9m10s">9:10</a><br><br>Act safely, and responsibly!<br>1) Never publish private info.

CouchDoggo: This got out of hand quickly Pingu-epic: Wow it got that bad? Thats crazy! Kooper Hoy: Gotta tell the children and manchildren what to do. MrTacos: Bro is Speedruning this video Dorothy Hoecker: he may not realize it but matpat is an inspiration. i have so much respect for this man and it continues to grow when i see him handle things like this. the way he addreses situations like this shows how much he cares. 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'nt doing this?

(Goes to cafe and says that they can't just leave clue there) Raysandra Rexxia: TO BE FAIR, I personally wouldn'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 "arg" Google can'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't stop staring at how Pat's hair keeps dancing around. Like he was seconds away from pulling his hair out like a Dad who's upset, but doesn'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.

If Johnny calls a number that wasn't given to him by the/a game master or found in circulation by a known/trusted source in connection to the ARG, they're doing a bad.

STOP calling places that just have "Freddy/Freddys/Freddie/Freddies" 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'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: "Any resemblance with the reality is mere coincidence"<br>Literally what appears on the cover of each FNAF book Melody Young: I appreciate that you didn'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'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'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's called a pro gamer move: Pink Program: This happened to the Steven Universe community.

Justjames: no ✨Mush✨: Dude I’m glad he quickly got on this as soon as possible TwitchyEyes: What .-. Mariah Shoaff: Mattpat is our internet dad. Thanks dad! Lol <br><br><br>Yeah I didn't call, but I really didn't have any idea what an ARG was until the last video. Thanks for explaining. weotu: DadPat has to have a talk with his netkids Adryan scott: You know I was just wondering if you were gonna address this bc twitter surely didn't like what you said Khalith: Appreciate it MP! autismdogz: i think you should delete your channel forever. Please.. just for lil ol' me 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'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'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's mistakes, and apologises<br>respect Marco Giannetta: I mean what did you expect to happen tbh...

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 |Xx0T4KUxX|: Why am I getting lectured by you?

Glad to see you quickly address the issue and set up quick and easy rules as a solution. Joseph Martinez: Why did you do this.<br><br>You crazy theorist I wouldn’t have done that even if I wanted to join in sarah ball: I'm early StoryMakerStudios: Speaking of ARGs, there's one I think you'll like<br><br>There's an ARG on a channel called "Pastra" and it's called "Lankmann's game" and it has extreme lore behind it Carl the artist: Hello internet!

Owen Besharah: I feel like you should have recognized that this would have happened. Like I was thinking this was gonna happen when I saw your video Trapty: Matpat seems like a very nice man. ANT Radio: No just imagine that their clues hidden in this video lol jk thomas lobeck: I wish more Media would try as hard to back track an issue MicahIsNotACar: ok Lightsky_66: How does someone get 155K views in 20 minutes MakisKan[YT]: Wow i lost a lot of thing the last days Hayo Hayo: how old is this guy's audience?

But, for now, Scott doesn't seem to want one for now. MyBirdMiami: 18 min after 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. Abdur Rojid: 🕘 ☀ 📲👁️🗨️ The Sticky Pickle: Lol Riff Silver: Stuff went down lol The Art of Soul: But that’s just a theor— Oh, wait… nevermind.

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'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> ender king: You assumed the internet would be responsible and reasonable when given a request Fam Angus: meow Frozenfire darknight: not gonna lie, we should've seen this one coming.<br>if these were gonna be very popular and important to many of us, we should'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 jadeslemonade: mats really responsible for this i didnt even think it could get this far 🖤Alyssa🖤: Thank you for addressing the issue at hand and discussing it TweetyPlays4: Me watching video: Wait food theory has ARG!?!?!? ukoG: Stap The "E" Guy: E BB8 Beau: Hi matpat トイレ戦士: Fnf creators:" this is getting out of hand.."<br>Matpat:" Fine.

Sam Levens: Yes. This is a great way to actually address the community and make sure nothing like this happens again❤️<br>We all love ARGs, but we need to be responsible ❤️ DesolatorMagic: On the next episode of Mat Pat doesn'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. 💙 luwu: thank god this was adressed as soon as it was Don Digao: Oh no Daydreaming dolli: At least he got to this before it got too big. Archsenal: He would make the best kind of father. Battali3: At first when I read the title i thought it was going to be like,"oh shot we solved the arg,cool beans,"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 "stop", 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 ?!

Crutch Media: Addition to the list suggestion: Do not under any circumstances put everything in your life on hold to solve an ARG. (Someone would do that) 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 "YouTubers" 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) 레짐: Great he’s addressing it but I hate he has to.

Enigma Productions: That's just a theory...A GAME THEORY!!!!!!!! Tavyn: I have a idea for a 4th channel.<br>My idea is maybe toy theory.

Before starting, it'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's a learning opportunity. Aiden Koch: You know you never realize how much power a man has until something like this happens so I'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'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 <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.

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's just because my way of speech is different.

SwiftBlade4: I saw this issue coming from a mile away. LilyOfLuck: 6: Have fun! If you're doing something that'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've got things to do. And ensure if you are going into a PUBLIC SPACE that you HAVEN'T BEEN TO BEFORE, you notify someone or take someone with you. It'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'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't really join this thing anyway but I'm it'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 "Maybe a warning about not go into private spaces should go on this" when the first video came out, because it was referring to real places in living spaces and it's crazy how things can go wrong with the internet. But it'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'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't found anything.... Loushendrik Yung: 3days was enough for us to do this. My god we are a bit too passionate.

I also hope the rest of us in our community will do the same & 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'm so glad you made a video cuz like you said it'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'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 "why is it always FNAF!?!?" 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?

Izea the Noelle main: I sadly knew this was gonna happen Willows_Wings: You know it's serious when Mat Pat doesn'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'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'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'm not the only one Angel Dust: It's not a game theory it'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'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't said to throw it at a guy's window, yet you did it anyway. MinecraftBuilds PlusFnaf: "Don't call Dominos asking if they're part of the FNaF universe" Mighty ironic timing right here yolo: Rule 6 don't eat a spicy toca bell bourito a 12:00pm it ends bad AzureJoems: I'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's are meant to be solved by a community, and by conversations, and not by trying to figure it out yourself to be the "smart one." 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'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'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 Zan Wright MFWR: Me before the video: Ayo, what happened? <br>Me after the video: Oh... Bruhhh... PrinYT: 13 min early Kor: E blackdra2000: Ha ha (Nelson'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'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'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'm glad that you made a quick response to this, in a logical way.<br><br>Remember if its an ARG, remember this. "Follow the rules given here, Don't go committing crimes for something that ain't true, always stick to the ARG never go overthinking it., keep public safety, your own safety into mind." Phoenix: This is very mature of you Mat. Kudos towards you man. KINGZZGrave: I'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't have a fourth. Do debunking conspiracy theories! Spark.stream: This video was published 13 minutes ago and it already has two point 4K comments catcat20a: when i first read the title to this video, i assumed that the arg was being stopped because it genuinely wasn't finished or didn'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'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: "STOP. JUST, STOP." 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'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'know, I think MatPat and the gang should make a Discord for the community, if they haven'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'm glad nobody'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 & Team Theorist!! ☺️💚 insert here alot of eye emojis: Im just replying to see if i get bots Lilium: Mad respect, you'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'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'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'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's a kid one and it's going to be out it's going to be a five nights at Freddy'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'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&t=0m37s">0:37</a> Aren't the stories on that book actually not canon?

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's hate base will ignore this because they focus more on MatPat'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 "Great content creator" 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.

Gaswe: The simple solution is that you don'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 "investigate". 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'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'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't remember why it was but that's the reason it'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's sitting on the coach on this channel compared to gtlive, glad to see a fast response fridge.: I’m sorry that this happened to you Matt.

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't have done but they don't use common sense and instead this happens Prronce: Oh look! Let'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't worry Mat; We all understand and we'll still be there for ya!

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 "555" as a starter phone number.

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 that1guy: ARG rules!

Respectful content creator right there. 🙏 Zarfa- de: A floating shopping list: We'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's created an entire universe from a breathe of an idea. It's become a miasma that's out of control. The more you dig the more you'll find Scott has hidden, for a reason. Please be cautious with the large scale of coverage you provide. Yes, your video wasn't meant to go out of control. Yet there was no prior experience that'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'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'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'! 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 "THEORY fans are whole new breed of hunting ARG's" 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.

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'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 Theguyindacorna- Von: Got it matpat. Thanks for the heads up.

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 "Calling-out-YouTube-and-helping-smaller-Youtubers" 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't even think this was happening 😳 Alfie Guansing: It'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's best to not do stuff like this unless we're all 100% sure that it's active.<br><br>Like he says the hints stand out. PHILLIP BOCCHI: Now I know I'm getting old....what's an ARG? Ambience: Thanks for addressing this and showing you haven't gone completely insane.

I would try solving this ARG if I was smart enough. Puppet Master: This video was what we all needed! You stopped the problem, and even provided a solution. Thank you so much for that! InconsistencyPerson: This was released Eight minutes ago, and there are 2k comments Slaying artist: I'm glad matpat is quick to respond to problems, making the fandom feel safer. It special it doesn't happen a lot in many fandoms. Super Sayain: i didn't ever think a problem like this would occur, props to you Matt for putting a stop to it Artak091: Why do cringe weirdos have to ruin the fun. Gamma Ikazune: Props to the Theory Team for working so fast in order to adress this issue ZeroZivan: Aw man. I was afraid that this was the reason behind this video when I saw the title.

BillyTheBurger: I honestly didn'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 David Dent: I feel like ARG etiquette could be a video series that most ARG groups should use as required material to join the larger hunt. 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'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'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?!?!??!!

Also, Matpat if you'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 "find the truth", 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?

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's 17k- y'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.

RESPECTFULLY MAN Monster Society: Every Youtuber wants millions of subscribers & views, but with that comes a LOT of responsibility as a creator. MatPat understands this, but occasionally these things slip through the cracks. I'm here to say: I understand Mat, it's okay. It's not your fault. You're a very responsible creator, and I think we're all glad you made this video. Ajay: As a representative of this amazing community, I have to say SORRY.

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 "oh wow, this is serious" thanks for adressing this matt.

There's a thing called 'Imagination' it'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...

Yasyabell: Get this to 100 likes Dr Xeno: Thanks for addressing this important point. YMC Janii: I think this got WAY more backlash than this deserved. It makes sense how you came to your conclusion, but it would have been better to have a disclaimer at the end of the video. But nevertheless, thank you for addressing it.

Fields in the dataset:
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).
