I posted on Doug's latest video that I heard this was a hoax, and Doug (or somebody) immediately deleted my comment. He has jumped shark for sure. Sad. His credibility will be zero after this. I feel for all those who have done so much to help him. They deserve better than this treatment. Edit: But none the less, a good reminder to be safe and be careful. We deal with a lot of hot stuff an flames here, so a good reminder to be safe, and keep your eyes open during a melt. .
I am thinking it is not really legal to use fraud to drive youtube views/monitization, and ultimately it seems he is benefitting financially from fraud (just a guess; I don't have any facts to back up that statement). I think he is cruising not into the ocean, but cruising into the courts with a big ole fraud lawsuit. Its like yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater. Its not legal to do that. There will be some serious blowback on this. He is going to lose a lot of good friends over this too. Old age is not doing him any favors. The folks that are aiding and abetting him in this scheme are also sticking their necks way out. .
I just cannot imagine them thinking this would be funny on any level. MAYBE if it was april fools day, but not really. Somethings are not funny and this is one of them just because something this bad could actually happen with the kind of work we do. That would be like me faking an airplane incident. Uh, not gonna happen on my watch. The game I play is for keeps.
She doesn't appear too distraught does she???? She's been with him a few years so she obviously loves him. Her eyes aren't red at all from crying.
Its total bullshit. I just saw David's post above. Got here too late. Well, there you have it. SVFraudster. What a turd ! .
You know YT wont do a damn thing either. I wouldn't let a sack of shit like this on my property. "A man is judged by the company he keeps"
For bomb making on YouTube?? Anyway, I unsubscribed and see a few of my friends have done the same. Statistically speaking, I bet he only loses 10% of his subscribers. We'll have to check the numbers in a few days. His arrogance stating that if you didnt like the video go ahead and unsubscribe I dont need you just shows what kind of a person he is... Zapins, send him a bill !!
I unsubbed and clicked the report button for harmful and dangerous acts. I bet I'm not the only one backing the YT bus over his dumbass.
Just a scoundrel, attention seeker. Pulling prank crap on the people that support you, is just ignorant.
He was a different man back in the days when he was cutting steel for the hull. Now he doesn't give a shit. F him and his boat. When I first heard the news, my heart sank and that's not a laughing matter.
Boy who'd have thought he'd pull some crap like this and then double down when he got called out. He doesn't seem like that kind of character. Goes to show, don't name a building or a bridge after someone until after they're dead.
Some days I crack myself up... worldtraveler 1 second ago He's not smart enough to realize people actually care about his ignorant ass and his boat. Experiment my ass. The boat will end up a taco stand in the shit part of tulsa.
