This whole thread is strange. I quoted him once. Big mistake here (unknowingly). I owned it.
But I don't get the hatred for this person. So what if he has a YT channel and discusses football? So what if his sources are sometimes from this site or others? I know this may be a shock to you but there are thousands of Husker fans that don't use or aren't aware of sites like this and clearly some of them get their information from guys like him sharing what he has gathered.
He may not be the best at what he does, but I give the kid credit for doing something that he enjoys doing all the while catching shit tons of hate for attempting to do it.
That's all. Carry on!
We have a guy who clearly wants to be an in the know journalistic type talking head of the program. But he doesn't want to do anything that any other outlet would do - like crediting where info comes from. No one owns information outright, and there are many ways to get that info. But when you get something from, say, tPB - a VERY simple "I saw on the Platinum Board..." that's called crediting sources. It's why you see ESPN reference The Athletic when they break something, etc...and it goes a long ways in more than just properly crediting. And you do that for one reason - to make yourself look more in the know/smarter/more important than you actually are. That's it.
THEN he got called out on it and his response wasn't "maybe I should change the way I'm doing this" as the HOW wouldn't change a damn thing about WHAT he's doing...he can still react to news, talk football, any of it, I don't give a fuck if he's talking Nebraska football...but his response was "I'm going to lock twitter comments since anyone that isn't a Bot has realized what's going on and called me out on it" and keep pawning info off as my own
@slattimer is 1000% correct. He's an anti-social attention whore that cannot live without seeing likes hit his screen. He was even told "hey, this is info on a paid board, so don't just go blast it out or else our sources will dry up". And he stopped - for like 2 days. Then he did it again, and again, and again. And then, I believe it was him, incessantly tries to get invited to tailgates that tPB guys host, etc. after continuously robbing info from here
He wants all of the quasi-fame that comes with what he's doing, but doesn't want to be held to any accountability for what he's doing, all while not just being a kid doing something for fun but a guy who's trying to maximize the monetization. It's why every single thumbnail says "HUGE UPDATE" - and even his thumbnails are a knock off.
And it's why he would retweet an 11 year old tweet from Rhule about hiring Robinson - hoping to trick people into A) Not seeing the date and thinking he's this newsbreak god or B) Cryptically tease that he knows something and "go viral". If that wasn't the case the tweet wouldn't be "Big If True" it would be "Can't wait to see this tweet used again..."
And he knows all of this...so fuck him. And when you've been told to stop as much as he has and your only response is to lock out comments, it's not bullying as
@EwokRhuler labeled it, it's just people realizing you're whole schtick is a house of cards and you're a fraud
