    There was a few things, I can’t remember all of the details but here’s what I remember:

    The CEO was arrested for abusing his wife.

    One of their content creators, James Ryan Haywood, was accused of having very inappropriate interactions with multiple fans. Some of which being of questionable age.

    There were also staff members who alleged that there was a toxic work environment. I don’t remember if it was misogyny, racism or both.

    Then there were allegations that the team that worked on RWBY were severely underpaid, with most of them not getting paid at all.

    Something kind of ironic, is that a lot of the YouTube channels I used to watch have at some point had some pretty terrible things come out about them, mostly after I had already stopped watching them. Boogie2988, Mini Ladd, GeePM and Rooster Teeth are some of the ones I can remember.

    For Boogie and Mini Ladd, I don’t remember the specific reason I stopped watching them but I do know that I stopped watching them well before all of the information about them was released.

    For Rooster Teeth, there was only two things I watched them for and that was Fails of the Week, which they silently canceled and never gave a reason why, and the other was RWBY which they decided to move it from YouTube to their own website which was so terrible that the episodes would have severe buffering issues at 240p. I don’t remember what the last volume was that I watched but I know I never watched everything.

    For GeePM, I watched him pretty much up until the day when he tried to cancel Vinny (Vinesause). In response, people were quick to bring out information about some pretty terrible things that GeePM was doing behind the scenes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a YouTuber just completely vanish from the internet that quickly.

    I know for sure that there are more but those are the ones I remember the most and think they are the most notable.

    There are three things, off the top of my head, that I can recall buying but either not using very much or not for it’s intended purpose. The first item is a portable bluetooth keyboard, I got it for the purpose of playing games on my android devices with it but the problem is that I haven’t found many games that actually even have keyboard support. The second item is a portable bluetooth mouse, it’s the same as the keyboard but with the additional issue of not working with my tablet for some reason. The third item is a DS flashcart, I forgot what it’s called but it’s the one from Datel and I had so many problems with it that I’ve been using it’s “Gigapack” for transferring small files between my two computers.

    It’s been a while since I’ve had tea and it’s not fancy or anything but what I did was I would start off with either an unsweetened green or black tea bag (just whatever I had at the time) and steep it in twice as much water that was recommended on the box. After I removed the tea bag, I would then add a lemonade drink mix and either 1 packet of sugar for green tea or 2 packets of sugar for black tea.

    I don’t remember any specific combinations of brands but I think I remember sweeter lemonades working better with green tea and tart lemonades working better with black tea. Just avoid True Lemon, I haven’t tried their other drink mixes but I remember the regular lemonade drink mix being terrible in tea.
