Leafy explains why he left Youtube (Keemstar interview)

In a video released this week, Youtube investigator and general-hub of all things Youtube, Keemstar managed to get a phone interview with Leafy.
For those wondering, Leafy was once one of the biggest Youtube commentators, whose videos commanded millions and views and to this day his channel has millions of subscribers, albeit he has not created content in nearly a year.
So, why did the controversial commentator decide to leave the platform?

In short, it sounds like he made money and then got out. It seems that after his Content Cop exposure, Leafy was actually quite a private person, which is ironic considering his line of work.
Regardless, he now spends his time building and IRA portfolio and dabbling in crypto-currencies - which would have been from the Youtube wealth he amassed.

On top of this, he mentioned no real desire to re-join the site and seemed to be quietly enjoying his new lifestyle; he further stated that the Youtube adsense/monetization system harmed his income and that he got burnt out of making weekly videos.

Furthermore, Leafy was asked by Keem about his previous beefs, including H3H3 and Keemstar himself, to which Leafy responded that he wasn't really angry at anyone and he seemed at peace with the previous drama, further mentioning that his Keemstar feud was used to generate ad-revenue.

Overall it was an honest interview from Leafy; he didn't seem too enthusiastic about Youtube and possibly will not come back. However, he did seem fairly happy and for all his faults, you cannot deny that he was good at what he did when it came to making interesting videos.

Instagram 'model' Christian Burns gives interview after Vidcon security guard video

If you have been living under a rock for the past week then you may have missed this video:



As seen, the instigator of the conflict is an alleged Instagram model who goes under the name 'Christian Burns'. In this video, he tells the security guard to kill himself, calls him 'blue collar as fuck' and 'fucking ugly'. He also says how he is richer than the security guard, who in turn reacts fairly calmly and in a professional manner. As you may expect, the internet has reacted badly to the behaviour of Christian Burns who comes across as a self-entitled brat.

Anyway, since then Christian came out with an interview on the Keemstar Drama Alert channel. Here he tries to justify his behaviour by saying that security guards where grappling with members of the public and treating them 'like dogs'. Of course, it is pointed out that the intention of security guards is to secure a person or building, and their job is to stop any potential conflict, even with physical force if needed.
The next 10 minutes of the interview is fairly cringe worthy, with Burns proving to be fairly inarticulate and struggling to apologise for his actions, and also trying to act as the victim to the internet backlash. The interview is concluded with himself admitting he's insecure and Keemstar then calling him out on his behaviour, to which he seems fairly speechless.

Watch the interview below and see for yourself, it has been hinted by some commentators that the Instagram career of Christian Burns may have ended before it had even truly begun, and looking at the scandal it seems that may well be the case.
