I don't watch him, nor do I watch any of his type on Ytube.

But, there are a lot of people in this thread with some serious issues. "I'm glad he's gone." "He's a piece of shit." etc. Yea, why don't you guys play some more games and take more of your meds.

Because it isn't a real job.

All he does is play other people's videos, talk shit over them and generally annoys anyone with an IQ over 40.

I got this:

"This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube's policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content.
Sorry about that."

And this:

"Everyone hates spam. Do not create misleading descriptions, tags, titles or thumbnails in order to increase views. It's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted or repetitive content, including comments and private messages."

I think he might have just put a misleading title on it or some idiot is trying to false flag him. It's not uncommon in the atheist circles for people to false flag under the DMCA to silence someone's opinions instead of confronting the opinions with an actual argument.

To be honest, I'm one of those glad he lost his "job", if you can call it that. The main reason I have for being glad at the concept of him losing his job is because his job involved being well known and getting paid for showing other videos by people who aren't being paid and are barely creditted if at all. If it was any other medium, Ray William Johnson would of been swamped by lawsuits.

It also feels like a "comedy" (a term I use loosely due to, I will admit, general dislike of his jokes and his format of telling jokes) directed at twelve year olds. I don't mean that in an insulting way if that's to his taste, but the camera methods (e.g. jump-cutting), the jokes (e.g. joking about homosexuality in a manner that may suggest negative connotations) and the videos in questions (e.g. slapstick) all suggest an audience that is around early teens. Which is okay if that's his market, but it feels like he's not trying to be part of that market which only makes watching his material feel childish.

The summery is, he is a glorified version of a grandmother. He shares a lot of videos that aren't really that funny on their own. He has awkward jokes that may of been a bit more mature a few decades ago. He also has camera techniques that a lot of people chalk up to him doing it so if he messes up a line he can redo it without doing entire scenes again, something that may suggest an individual who is clumsy and forgetful. Which, I don't plan to pay my grandmother if she started filling my e-mail account with "funny videos".

It was coming. All he does is take other people's videos, then make idiotic remarks which are more obnoxious than funny (I haven't found any of his "jokes" funny. Ever.) and make money from them.

I stopped watching him a few months ago. I tried again a few days ago but his style seemed to have worsened. It almost seemed too, fake? Slapstick? Too americanised maybe? I don't know, but I'm not bothered anymore.

If there were any youtubers that deserve to be banned, it'd be him.

Don't get me wrong, I find people like Fred annoying as fuck, but at least the guy makes his own content. All RWJ does is play viral videos and talks about them. Everyone does that, with their mates, then they get up and do their real job.

Well then, that explains why my friend has gone from being all "Raywilliamjohnson is the best thing on youtube" to going around blabbering about Shane Dawson and how awesome HE is. Also, he thinks that the alien vs. predator game has better graphics than uncharted 3 and he thinks that a "smartgun" (whatever the hell that is) is a new super sniper rifle the military is building and weaponizing as we speak, he also believes that Robert Benfer ripped off his friend's "fishstick sandwich burrito" DSI flipnote and that he didn't even write the song, even though the flipnote isn't even really his friend's to begin with, and the worst part? My friend Peter believes every thing he says without question. I hate my friends.

I have seen him comment on some of my favorite youtube users' channels and he was being an absolute idiot (granted, if you watch his videos you would get the same impression).

He is rude, he is a troll and he is uncivilized.

Also, I can't stand seeing his face in my recommendations bar all the time, so I am quite happy that he is not around anymore.

Good Riddance! The guy was a total attention whore who practically STRIVED on attention from people. Honestly he's worse then Rebecca Black combined with a steaming pile of shit that was forced into the CD Drive of an Auto tuner.

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
So the fishy part is him being banned, not him being above the rules because he is a corporate stooge?

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]
So just like MLP Fans? HEYOOOOOOOOOOO

But yes, glad to see it immedietly led me to some good recommended videos for once.

I don't get the Ray Willian Johnson hate. His music videos sucked (apart from the Zombie Love Song one), but all he does is show us a few viral videos a couple of days a week. It's worthwhile content I can't be bothered finding myself.

He did not have the most subscribers. Yogscast hold that honor.
How do you figure? RWJ has/had over 5 million subscribers. Yogscast appears to have about 1.2 million.

So... he does the same thing Tosh.O does? Except on YouTube. Considering how bad he is I can't imagine how aweful this guy was.
