Hey everyone.
Not sure if you've heard, but the Fine Brothers just caused a huge controversy.
As you may know, the Fine Bros are well-known for their "React" videos (Kids React, Elders React, etc.). They recently announced "React World", and have caused massive controversy by wanting to trademark the word "React" and "React" videos in general. Implementing "React World" would basically be choking other, smaller "React" channels on YouTube to death.
I personally am ashamed of them. The one channel on YouTube that I never thought could cause a controversy (well, other than Good Mythical Morning, I'm really glad they haven't caused any controversies) just managed to cause one. They've already lost 125,000+ subscribers practically overnight (and, ironically, managed to pass 14,000,000 subscribers both ways) and the rate doesn't seem to be slowing. Check this link to see a live-count of their subs by the second (click the YouTuber name above and replace it with "TheFineBros"): livecounts.x10host.com/

You really messed up, Fine Brothers. Did you really think "React World" was a good idea?

This disgusts me.

They reverted their mistake recently, thankfully.
Oh, and I'll respond whenever I have the time to write an absurdly long post at once, thank you very much.
PATIENCE PEASANT.

I'll consider trying to squeeze time in soon in exchange for a PERMANENT additional 53 llamas.
