bree really needs some people defending her on youtube. is a mob of idiots doing it. i would encourage everyone to mark these comments as spam. i took the graphics from a few of these people and reposted them on their own page. so expect my channel's comments to get nasty soon ...

I noticed yesterday that Bree's latest video comment section was completely filled with those middle fingers. Not something one can ignore, it was a terrible sight to see. Kind of like yousefgate revolution except cruel.

I think we should respond to those graphics with, "Join the campaign: real comments or no comments," and then mark as spam.

Haha I totally agree.
Also what is the definition of "real" anyway?
Sure smosh started out as "real", they were regular people posting random videos of themselves dancing to beloved songs from childhood, which I whole-heartedly approved of. While they are scripted now, and by virtue of the whole sketch "comedy" thing, while they pretend to be others we still know it is them and they are open about what they do------ however.
Do they get help? Do they get assistance?

As we know and this quote from an article tells us:
"The Smosh boys recently signed a deal to create videos for a YouTube competitor and have reportedly been approached with other commercial propositions."

Where is the line crossed? Is the fact they have been making videos for money for the past months (and ironically has been their worst content)- not to mention perhaps a covert deal from youtube to swing them back (we know youtube has no patience for defecters like LG15, so why would they continue to so blatantly promote fellow defector smosh?)- getting in the way of their "reality"? To me the definition the reality of videos is not only being honest about who you are in the videos, but also doing them yourself. Making it for the love (or lack of anything else to do) of vlogging. Getting help in doing this by- at the very least- signing deals if not getting help in other ways we don't even know about- means you no longer have regular old vloggers but vloggers with powerful corporations and financial backing. Is that the natural state for vloggers? No, it's artificial. Sure the LG15 vloggers are fake because they are actually people who get paid to do what they do- but so do smosh. So their vlogging state is artificial, how can smosh be considered real?
