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".
Serves him right then.

Doesn't look like he's banned to me, the only thing off about his channel is that yesterday's video got a spam flag and is therefore not available, but from that to a ban...

Attention wh**ing, much?

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.
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.
‎"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." This is the only reason I dislike him.

Really? I thought it was just a joke. Youtube seems to have freshened up their lay-out, but its still seems rather buggy. Smosh's last activity was 2005.

He wasn't that great, if anything his jokes just got more offensive with each passing video, then he'd try and cover his ass for those jokes by saying "lulz jk" as if it just all of a sudden erased the joke. I was never offended by his jokes, but obviously someone was, and with how popular he was on youtube, I knew he was going to get his account banned sooner or later especially since a lot of his videos' content was showcasing other peoples' videos. There's not doubt he'll probably be back, but he'd need to calm down with some of his jokes lest this happen again. And he didn't necessarily lose his job since he still has the Yourfavoritemartian channel which is pretty popular, and he'd make money from the iTunes sales of those songs.

To be honest, I don't think he is very funny. I do feel sorry for him, however bad I thought he was =3 is his main source of income. So he's lost his job, which is always sad.

He is obnoxious, annoying, jump cuts every few seconds, not funny, and steals videos.
It's blatantly obvious.

No, Not attention whoreing. It just so happens that channel was up again by the time you checked.
A few hours ago if you had looks, it had been legitimately banned.


OT:

This is unfortunate... Why must such an fool persistent make 100's of 1000's of $s every year for doing almost nothing? It's not like it's an original idea or anything close.

Glad to see he's back up and running now. I never really liked his stuff, but one never wants to see a guy lose his main source of income without warning. Been there myself, bad times all around.

Granted, I really didn't think he'd be banned for long, the man probably makes Google a mint just by recycling terrible dick jokes. One does not kill one's golden goose.

Meh, I was never really fond of his stuff. His jokes were bad, and really he got his popularity off the "work" of others.
To simplify my thoughs on his channel, I'll let Pinkie Pie do the honors. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mG2I-o3yUA]

Well, having seen him, I can't say I like his videos.

I still don't get the "I'm glad he's gone" crap, but whatever.

Are you sure? I think he has a real job doing something video-related professionally in Hollywood. I hope he gets back though, people might be jealous of the amount of attention he got but he did it all off his own back and that commands some level of respect.

Huh, I un-subscribed just yesterday (haven't watched them in ages).

A shame for him, bet he was pulling in a decent amount from it.

He uploads a stupid video
He gets banned
Youtube brings him back
He makes a message against youtube
Loads of people watching the video because they're upset that youtube removed him
he gets loads of followers and likes.
RayWilliamJohnson is back up and running like new
And nobody is badly affected.

Yeah, I saw that earlier today. I didn't like his videos, and just ignored him completely. To the people who really despise him, I can see where you are coming from, but really. Just ignore the things you don't like. Like Justin Bieber or whatever. Ignore, move on.

I can only imagine he was banned for not giving a shout-out/name the uploader. It's basically using someone else's content to make profit, without helping out the creators. The bad kind of piracy or whatever.
In the olden days, he would link to all videos used in the video. Now, if he even includes the links, the links lead to his own website (more money for him), where he embeds the video(s). That is just level 99 asshole, with a full set of 999% fortify dickhead armor.

The only ideal way of doing what he does, is in the style of the Vsauce leanbacks or the now renamed Stuff Kevin Likes. A playlist with an intro to each clip, then showing the originally uploaded clip. It brings attention to (sometimes otherwise unknown) channels. It's like the old ways of Youtube, in which the "featured videos" thingie actually worked.

Forget my first statement: Writing that made me enable hypocrisy mode. Good. Fucking. Riddance.
