Considering the fact that the previous allegations made before this mostly involved his crew (or what was it before MDE world peace) and now he is doing this stuff it is not surprising. He is certainly being shrewd, wanting a monopoly over clips so as to get people to pay for his service to watch the full thing. Gay, I know, but thinking about it that although surprising on one hand makes sense on the other.
My real question is, considering many consider him a "failure" and how "he will die out", those claims hold no merit. Sam had literally flipped off his wider audience for a smaller more concentrated and loyal base, slowly built it off, grinding away and it has paid off. I do not think he will ever become irrelevant. He already was in a stage of "irrelevancy" for quite some time after world peace. Call me autistic but he will probably fly too close to the sun like Icarus. He has a lot of brand new attention on him, especially with the beef against Hasan, the idubbz documentary and the whole NFT side hustles. He is living "on the edge" and he knows it, with the limelight on that now finally he wants to make big and make a mark. He might be chill to be with IRL (quite a few people have stated that after interacting with him) but he is probably having some form of ego issues and it might get in the way of that. All will worsen until it all sort of spills over in some hugely autistic manner and he goes down in flames.
Sam is not the type of guy to simply "ride into the abyss". He has been grinding away, and he is going to fucking shine. Even if that means imploding on himself in every physical and non-physical manner possible. He wants a mark on history, despite his fuckups with his family (smashing cars like an autistic faggot) and his sexual escapades in his more youthful years, he has grown beyond that and wants to strike big. No one knows what will happen next, but it will certainly be big in many aspects. "That is my take on it" as the twitterites and youtube commentary people say. That is all
