Hi y'all, first post (DON't BAN ME).

Was an SA poster way back in 2004 and I guess I still have an alt that isn't banned, but I self-banned my main account years ago after I Goonmet some folks, chilled with them for a few years but realized they were pretty weird and went on my way.

Anyways, never met Rich but the goon with whom I was chillest and did some drugs with him at some point and he was apparently weird as fuck, so that's all I have to say. YOSPOS bitches.
 
Lowtax has discovered why Gaming Garbage hasn't been a success.

Lowtax is really up on current events...Breitbart proved the existence of the blacklist years ago through a leaked internal discussions from Google. The don't just blacklist videos from getting recommended they blacklist videos from search results as well, so that they appear way down the list.

The idea that Lowtax's videos are on some kind of blacklist is a bit far fetched though. Gaming Garbage has 30K+ subscribers but none of them even watch his shit tier videos.

I don't remember why he was banned from Twitter in the first place, but Twitter is like SA: parachute accounts of banned posters are banned on sight.

He made some threats about undercover FBI agent Baked Alaska without adding "no homo" in minecraft, so that combined with a history of 'being lowtax' got him the boot. He was on @SomethingAwful until he got outted and then I believe got a third account where he just reposted tweets from the lowtax account to see how long it'd take him to get banned. (answer: not very long)

Yeah, it's pretty rich whining about "muh channel" is a failure, when not even his own 32.8k subscribers can't be arsed into watching his content. OTOH, if you still do videos as they were done 10 years ago it's no wonder, nobody watches that shit anymore.
In his case it's not only crap from yesteryear that nobody doesn't want to watch anymore, he also didnt get the memo that his channel died a long time a go. His last video breaking the 100k viewer mark was about 7 years ago , from there on it declined in views steadily.
Youtube has changed a lot, the one who didn't is Pillhead Kyanka, but otoh, what do I expect? SA still looks like it looked in 2008, so it's pretty obvious that he also still does YouTube like it was done 2008.
Loltax was never able to change himself or to adapt to the times changing.
Go with the times or be gone in no time, it's really as simple as that.

That's the same level of idiotism like that Serbian(?) dude who was banned from the Farms years ago but still tries to log in a few day per week.
 
He makes the most boring, incomprehensible, joke free videos on the internet. That's not an exaggeration. A few times I was like 'hey, let's watch a Lowtax video and laugh at him" but I was unable to watch more than a few minutes, because this motherfucker was just so boring.

He couldn't convince even 1% of his forum users to watch his shit, even when they were all worried about his poor finances and shattered spine and the people who don't know who he is/used to be have no reason to care about him at all. They can just watch somebody who tells actual jokes, chooses games that are not obscure shit and offers decent production value. He's not on any blacklist (except maybe in his children's schools and in local restaurants), he's just every other mediocre dude on the internet who thinks he's gonna be the next Pewdiepie but has nothing to offer.

God damn he s like starting to freak out and relive the good old days

There IS some shady shit going on behind the scenes at Youtube. There's a Youtuber I subscribe to (the Spiffing Brit), whose content is 100% gaming related and not political or controversial in any way. However he did get into hot water a couple of years ago when Shutterstock threatened to burn his channel to the ground with copyright strikes if he didn't give them thousands of pounds. Turns out he thought that if he used their stock images with the watermark still on them he didn't have to pay any fees for using them in commercial content - which of course isn't true, Shutterstock own the copyright to the watermarked images just as much as the non-watermarked version. So a dumb mistake, and he came to some sort of licensing arrangement with Shutterstock and now in fact uses their un-watermarked images with his own watermark over them as a little reference to the time his stupidity nearly got his channel nuked.

But since then, despite being subscribed to him and watching about 90% of all the videos he puts out, his videos have never appeared in my recommendations. Not once. In fact I assumed that Shutterstock had got his channel nuked because I never saw his videos come up for months after that, until I checked and there were like 10 videos that I hadn't seen, or even been aware of. His is now the only channel I actually use the notification bell on, because otherwise Youtube tries its damndest to hide his content from me. And that's not someone who used a gamer word, or got involved in drama, or misgendered a tranny. He just had a copyright dispute with a third-party company that got resolved. But that's enough to throw his channel into a black hole apparently.

So yeah, I can believe that a triggered tranny/dangerhair somewhere at Google has fucked with Lowtax's channel somehow. But the idea that Kiwifarms was somehow responsible is ludicrous. The combined might of all our autism can't even get Null's channel re-monetised (even Dankula got re-monetized ffs), yet we can somehow blacklist the shit let's play channel of a 3rd-rate lolcow just because we don't like him? Yeah, nah.

I actually watch The Spiffing Brit and he's vastly more famous than Lowtax, orders of magnitude more so. Being petty enough to go after him with his 1.88 million subscribers and being petty enough to go after a washed up old forum host from the 2000s are different things.
 
Doesn't Lowtax keep getting his accounts banned on twitter for no clear or discernable reason whenever he tries to make one?
He's permabanned and keeps ban evading. That's their reason. It's somewhat inexplicable they actually enforce this rule against him consistently while other people repeatedly and openly ban evade and get away with it but tough shit for him I guess. My guess is he squalled like such a fucking baby and threw a shit fit and a "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM" at Twitter that they put a "fuck with this guy extra hard" notation in his file.

So whenever he ban evades and alawgs immediately report him, they actually kick him off immediately unlike others.
I don't remember why he was banned from Twitter in the first place, but Twitter is like SA: parachute accounts of banned posters are banned on sight.
Not really. There are tons of supposedly permabanned people who aren't banned on their new socks. Nick Rekieta for instance. Even Null's new accounts haven't been instabanned and you know those get instantly mass reported. Richard's though? He barely gets out a dozen tweets and then *poof*.
 
In Nick's case I think it was that the ToS said something about you can't own a new account after getting banned and he made an account for his company of one that's apparently good enough to get past that. So maybe Lowtax just needs to make a Somethingawful LLC account and stop being himself to stay on.
 
SA used to treat ban evaders the same way. Fuck, they were worse actually. Having an alt account or sharing an account were bannable. The old forums gestapo was always on the lookout for inconsistent posting that would imply account sharing.

I bet they'd ban him anyway.

I just find it hilarious this whining pussy complaining endlessly about being subject to the same kind of shitty moderation he encouraged on his own shithole of a site, and how it led to the rise of cancel culture warriors who eventually cancelled him. exactlywhatyoufuckingdeserve.png

And this ridiculous pussy blames Kiwi Farms. Fucking idiot. If anything he probably got cut another year or two of slack solely because the accusations were seen as coming from here.
 
Someone made an SA twitter, Richard had Lowtax twitter when he got banned for saying baked alaska should be put in a hole and filled with concret or something he got a warning so he made the same tweet only he added a line about putting a door in the hole so baked could walk out. Then he got a perma or something.

Any way the goon with the SA twitter just gave control of it over to him. Then I think rich made a joke about throwing a Chess board at nancy poloso s head.

My recollection is that he registered one twitter account for Lowtax, one account for Rich Kyanka, one account for Something Awful Dot Com, and one account for his office. The first three accounts got banned one by one because he consistently failed to resist the urge to act like a sped; he forgot that the office account existed until like a year ago at which point he speedran a ban.

He also has a Gaming Garbage twitter. This has not yet been banned.

He is streaming live on Gaming Garbage to tens of people:


He doesn't appear on stream until around 45 minutes. When he does, he's in a new home and bitching that he doesn't have enough money to afford the old home so he had to move to a smaller one. He then goes to e-begging almost immediately, whining that he doesn't get paid enough to stream.
