James Reeves throwing his opinion into the mix:
"I was keeping out of this because I don't like getting involved with drama, but unfortunately I had to get dragged into it and frankly I saw it coming. I make gun videos as a job. I monetize those gun videos. When someone watches them on YouTube, or X, or Instagram, I get paid. Unless they are watching it on someone else's account, in which case that user gets paid instead of me for content that I filmed, produced, and uploaded. When someone steals my content, I ask them to take it down. Sometimes politely. If that doesn't work, I file a DMCA, and move on. I've filed one lawsuit against one asshole who refused to comply and dared me to sue him. And I should note that these are usually repost accounts, not good companies with good people working for them like
@BrownellsInc. In other words, don't try to put me in your boat. I was hoping you would take the hint from the numerous, numerous users who pointed out that what you're doing is embarrassing, but instead, you keep doubling, and tripling down.Nothing personal, I don't have anything against you, this is just kinda cringe

Edit. I think Ivan deleted his Twitter account, the quote tweet was still open when I saw the reply from James. Or is my Twitter just breaking apart hard?
