RayWilliamJohnson has been banned.

[Smertnik]

Not that I ever cared, but good riddance. Now YouTube will stop suggesting me to subscribe to him, at least.

 

[Beryl77]

Don't know who he is, don't care that he got banned. Sounds like his videos are garbage. So it's fitting that he had the most subs on youtube.

 

[ToffeeMC]

I used to like him, but when he hired his whole team and got other people on his show I think he lost his touch and relied too heavily on them and overall just became really stale

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I never watched a second of his videos. They would clog the front page and a lot of the related videos every time you went on YouTube, that guy must've done nothing but make new videos.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

he made videos about viral videos and commented on them making jokes etc.

[...]

why are people glad a person lost their job?

If that is his "job", then he really needs to learn to do something with his life outside of youtube.

 

[FamoFunk]

How odd. I was watching him a few hours ago.

He was the most subscribed person/channel on YouTube, surely that would make YouTube get him back asap?

I like him, in fact I was subscribed to him. I think he's got less funny in the past year, but I love watching the viral video's he reviews.

I enjoyed him initially, but I stopped watching him a while ago. He's become terribly unfunny, and at this point he's just riding the inherent humor of internet phenomenon.

I think it's since, or just as he was ready to move to LA from NY and he got that whole team behind him helping with the show. It's almost like they killed it and he just got a bit too stuck about it and went along with it.

I'm waiting for him to say something about this on Twitter or FB, it's almost like Z-list celeb trash

 

[DigitalSushi]

...Thank god, he was really annoying and while we're at it, ban half the other v-bloggers out there. In case people were wondering, it says he was banned for copyright infringement.

bingo, he made money from some viral video's that were copyrighted, sending it via email for personal consumption would have been fine but not on the public stage and making money by being the Youtube partner program.

A little musings from myself children, gather round;
This is essentially what SOPA will do in its current form, bring down Youtube partner's like Machinima and The Escapist vids on youtube.

 

[Akyho]

Oh good. Now I dont need to stare at his face cos youtube says "We suggest to you Raywilliamjohnson! Why? cos he has the most subscribers...so ofcoure you will like him....cos millions do....you want to be part of the millions right?!"

I would wager he was making more off his "job" than you are off yours, or most people in this thread. I also think it would be very hard to argue that he wouldnt have been thoroughly enjoying his "job" too while making a small fortune off it.

Er, why? Getting paid to do something you love and a lot of people would kill to do, not to mention being able to live off that money without any other job.

Sounds fucking awesome.

 

[Masticate]

Does anyone know what he did? This seems fishy to me seeing as hes a youtube partner and the most subbed on youtube. Doubt they would ban him

As I've said before, "I think his acount got shut down 'cause that he took other peoples videos and put them on his website and put the links to the videos on his website in the description of his videos. That way, he got money from other peoples videos."

Nah, he always got use permission for his videos, except for the racist one he put up last video. I think that was stolen and racist, so youtube was like "last straw, fuck off".

If sitting on your ass and making videos about other peoples videos (my understand of what he did) makes more money then software development, then just another example of how this world is messed up.

 

[standokan]

At first I like it, then it got worse and worse, then it got a little bit better but I still didn't care much for it though.

So it's kinda funny I guess.

 

[Ragnarok185]

man this is like when LittleKuriboh got banned. man flames were everywhere.

There's two major differences.
LK is better than RWJ in every way.
And LK gets banned ALL THE TIME! It's something to expect since it happens so often. Then you can play the "How long will it take for his channel to come back" game.

I know but remember the first time he got banned(or second time since the series got popular abit latter). me and my friends send hate E-mails to 4KIDS and many others did too. dude people were ready to storm 4KIDS altogether. but it seems this isn't as significant... even though RWJ has over 4million subs.(I personally didn't like his vids much but alot of other people did)

 

[xplosive59]

A year ago I used to like him but he became stale (also because he brought his mates onto the show), I only kept watching him so I could skip to the videos he was commenting on. Shame though that he lost his main source of income but he did steal other peoples material to make money.

 

[Goofguy]

Great, now all we need is for iJustine, sxephil and Fred to follow suit.

 

[naam]

Maybe they thought his review of the virgins kissing was somewhat offensive?
Also, yay for all you people hating someone who won't ever even know your name

 

[Helmholtz Watson]

it appears he has been banned, i clicked on his channel and it confirms it, see for yourself:

www.youtube.com/RayWilliamJohnson

i for one am quite surprised, i actually like his videos (Flame Shield Up) although i am pretty sure he will be back soon

what are your thoughts?

EDIT: if you don't know who he is, he was a youtuber with the most subscribers (i have 2 million and 4 million in my head, not sure which number), he made videos about viral videos and commented on them making jokes etc.

EDIT 2: lots of people seem to have a lot of hatred for a man that just makes youtube videos, why are people glad a person lost their job?

YES! The time for Philip Defranco is now! All hale our new Youtube master!

well I'm not happy he lost his job, it was a decent show considering the amount of shit on youtube, and i just saw that his videos have been taken down due to and i quote "This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube's policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content." thats just really weird...

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Snip

His channel is back up now. Whatever reason YouTube had for banning him they seem to have retracted it.

EDIT:

Well that was fast http://www.youtube.com/user/RayWilliamJohnson?feature=watch
