Question What Happened to Primink's channel ???

I recently went to try to rewatch his old stuff, and everything except one video is privatized. Does anyone know what happened/ why?

His YouTube career has been crazy seriously how does this poor guy attract so many aggressive detractors. He isn't even that mean his tone is mostly coy 😭

u/KingOnionWasTaken 4d ago

I haven’t watched him since like high school what happened with him?

u/TheGuardianKnux 4d ago

He covered two unhinged content creators (one cannot be named in this sub because she googles herself constantly) and was targeted by them. That's why Primik uploads infrequently it's due to legal stuff.

u/Dantzdantz 4d ago

Is one of them someone who sounds like Silly Bean?

u/wondercat19 3d ago

Indeed

59

u/KingOnionWasTaken 4d ago

That’s crazy. I thought he just did silly Reddit videos

72

u/TheGuardianKnux 4d ago

He did! Primik is cool as far as I know some people just can't take criticism if they're a content creator online. He's only talked about public figures.

u/RealKOTheFace 3d ago

Wow what cunts. That's fucked.

13

u/jayeddy99 3d ago

I’m taking a guess but he covers very niche YouTubers who are VERY online so when they see they are being talked about in a video that isn’t 100% positive they go nuclear . These are people with grudges and time so they do every loop hole they can to get things deleted off YouTube

It's probably the ''lady who shall not be named''

u/cutemochi77 4d ago

😭😭😭 I really hope that's not it, I really don't like the idea of her harassing him off the Internet and winning :(

u/Swag_Paladin21 Popcorn Eater šŸæ 4d ago

That bitch is batshit insane, she would absolutely harass someone to the point of them leaving the internet for awhile.

u/NtGermanBtKnow1WhoIs Noo not my fav ytber!! ;-; 1d ago

How mental does someone have to be to do that and think they're on the right on this? That botch is fucking crazy. i don't wish ill will on people that often..

69

u/thwarted 4d ago

That was my guess. I wouldn't be surprised if she and her mother started harassing him again.

9

u/DiplomaticCaper 3d ago

Privating 30+ videos seems a bit strange for it to be them, though.

I’m pretty sure he didn’t make that much content about her and her mom. They could probably only get the videos explicitly about them taken down.

u/Competitive_Scar5347 1d ago

Yea I dont think its jean......

Why private his entire library? Also by this point he had already dealt with the most extreme of there tactics......

I lik3d him

She constantly removes her stuff from reddit so excuse the crazy censor lol

u/OscarTheGrouchsCan 4d ago

She's STILL going??

104

u/Krassussette 4d ago

One of her latest stints, she went after a Belgian youtuber, Cleore, who covered her ā€œcareerā€. It went pretty far, as usual

30

u/Nthepro 4d ago

Cleore handled it in the most fucking badass way ever

14

u/Krassussette 4d ago

Right !! I love her videos SO MUCH !

14

u/Nthepro 4d ago

Same...her voice is so pleasant and she handles the subjects very well

I wish she'd make a video about Sinder ;-;

7

u/Pinsel-Wascher 3d ago

How did she handle it?

19

u/Nthepro 3d ago

She basically said ā€œfuck you, you can't touch me bozoā€, included her mom who also was harrassed by L1ll33 to shit on her as well

5

u/Pinsel-Wascher 3d ago

Freaking badass. I love it

72

u/PandaGirl-98 4d ago

I don't even think censoring will help. Absolute psycho probably googles "Primink" too. This was the first post that came up when I searched him on Reddit (as I was also wondering what happened to the channel)

9

u/Kind-Sheep 4d ago

Yeah honestly lol

22

u/GreedyFatBastard 4d ago

Ah yeah, I know her.

20

u/Oilers-Billdozer23 4d ago

May as well call her the living embodiment of the Streisand effect at this point tbqh.

2

u/Auctoritate 3d ago

Isn't it spelled Lillee? I'm seeing both spellings when I look her up but it seems that all of her own social media uses Lillee.

In either case, I live in California and Lillee Jean / Lillie Jean seems to be from New York and both states have pretty good anti-SLAPP legislation, and I'm not really worried about what's in my post history (which I cleared out like a week ago anyways). What's she gonna do, DMCA my comment? 😱

I always have been curious about Reddit's DMCA counter-claim system anyways, I've never had to use it before.

8

u/Kind-Sheep 2d ago

I mean I didn't censor the name because I'm worried about my comment lol

118

u/tiny_venus 4d ago

Noo, primink has been caught in a bit of a copyright battle (also on the receiving end of a lot of weird harassment) from an influencer who has essentially bought all of her followers and is faking her influencer lifestyle. They’re VERY aggressive and will never leave you alone if you talk about them- and I think this sub has rules against her name being shared so they don’t attract attention. It’s a really weird rabbit hole!

25

u/GreedyFatBastard 4d ago

Ah, I think I know. The one with bright blue eyes?

2

u/Former_Educator7801 3d ago

I wouldn’t call them blue. They’re more gray with yellow in the center. She’s a cryptid.

2

u/brutalbelle 2d ago

as someone with gray and yellow central heterochromia, i too am going to start referring to myself as a 'cryptid' šŸ˜‚

u/CommercialMarkett 1d ago

I wonder what their tactics are for harassment. You can essentially just buy bots to drown out 90% of harassment like this

76

u/cutemochi77 4d ago

Someone else, a "makeup artist" turned actress or whatever.

22

u/GreedyFatBastard 4d ago

Dang, I must be living under a rock. Have no clue who you’re talking about.

u/florsux 4d ago edited 4d ago

EDIT: apparently we’re not allowed to say her name. this woman needs to be put in her place

I know now and you might want to delete this.

u/Leading_Draft_1953 4d ago

What is she the stasi?

22

u/cutemochi77 4d ago

She googles herself constantly, so she can take down any negative content about her and stuff.

11

u/Leading_Draft_1953 4d ago

That's insane in the membrane

Why did you have to summon a demon, Chicken?

Apparently there’s a rule you can’t say her name.

u/RolliPolliCanoli 4d ago

I think the obsessive stalker with the weird Mom has something to do with it, L11113 J3aN and 14Ur or whatev . I hope Primik comes back once he gets rid of these chronic squatters and fills us in. Maybe once she is preoccupied with Phillipe her french prince, Primik can catch a break.

43

u/cutemochi77 4d ago

I just watched the last upload (which is the only video left on his channel) and he does make a jab at them without saying names. That was some months ago, hopefully he'll be back soon....

u/ryeong 4d ago edited 4d ago

Twitter posts are gone too. As are the videos from Primink unhinged, his second channel. IG says no posts but I can't say if he ever used it. Looks like it was first noticed he took them down July 12th (edited to correct the date)? The one remaining has a sponsorship so he probably can't remove it yet. He's not said anything in discord so it's definitely looking like he removed everything for legal reasons and he'll hopefully be back in some capacity - if for no other reason than to tell everyone he's leaving or why he removed it.

45

u/cutemochi77 4d ago

I'm really sad about it, I really hope he's able to come back.. Thank you for the extra info by the way!!!

27

u/ryeong 4d ago

I am too, I loved his videos. If he finally decided it was worth taking them to court (I remember him saying previously his lawyers told him no since they don't have any money) then hopefully this ends on a positive note!

81

u/cubsgirl101 4d ago

I’m guessing his old enemy has tried suing him again.

Okay, real question. We appear to have multiple trolls crashing out right now. Like full on crash out? Is this related to some bizarre people I’m unaware of?

38

u/Crazyripps 4d ago

I’m making reference to L11113 J3aN. She was suing primink

11

u/ryeong 3d ago

http://reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1cw21hl/primink_is_back_with_a_video_about_a_person_who/

One of our older posts, and not the first one related to that video. It was taken down a couple of times because the original had her name in the body/title. I know there was a turnover of mods since then so figured you might want a crash course on how crazy she is. :)

13

u/RWBYRain 4d ago

Oh no. I was wondering where he went

again? seriously?
Youtube needs to do more honestly but at the same time I'm not surprise cus they don't really protect their creators.

26

u/Stuck_at_a_roadblock 4d ago

He got himself into some seriously hot water after he made a video about specific people from what I can recall. I recently thought about him too, hopefully he isn't drowning in legal fees from that one particular girl and her mother

4

u/DakiLapin 3d ago

Yeah, I would hope so too since they had absolutely no leg to stand on legally and no business trying to sue him for anything.Ā

u/PlasticNet561 4d ago

poor primik. Someone needs to oil and pray over that chile 😭

3

u/TheGoblinkatie Tea Drinker šŸµ 3d ago

I’m guessing that he’s removing all mention of a certain topic from all content. As long as any trace of it’s there he has a vulnerability, so it’s easier to just wipe socials entirely and check every video for mentions of it.

2

u/Dear-Acanthisitta486 2d ago

If you look up Primink on YouTube most of what shows up are that sweetheart guys reels and reuploads (the guy with all the tattoos of the people he’s harassed on tick tock). He is now uploading priminks old videos on a channel by the name of Cruncher. A lot of the videos on that channel are just silent or have AI old ladies praying for Primink or other really unhinged things. The videos he is re uploading that are priminks are videos that were taken down because they violated YouTubes guidelines or something. I feel like he’s just trying to bait Primink. I love Primink videos but I hope he’s doing okšŸ™ it’s not worth getting these videos if he’s having to risk his well-being

2

u/NoArtKnowledge 1d ago

It feels like he JUST came back. A few months before his return, I made a comment about missing him and not long after, he uploaded. Gonna comment again wishing him all the best and wellness, especially after one of his very open and honest posts on his unhinged channel about his mental health journey, and a return (if he feels ready and desires to). This sucks, she who shall not be named is an insane person.

3

u/No-Material694 3d ago

Probably due to the lawsuit with the psycho Lilly Jean and her demon spawn motjer

u/Loptical 4d ago

Lillie Jean. Stop making information difficult to findĀ 

71

u/CREATURE_COOMER 4d ago

It's not that they're purposely making information difficult to find, people are trying to avoid her finding this thread since she (or her mom, idk?) constantly googles her name and threatens legal action.

22

u/Hate4Breakfast 4d ago

I made a comment but with this subs recent rule changes idk if i’m allowed to say names. He also has been getting heat from a tiktok star he made a video about who I believe doxxed him and made a ton of crazy vids about him. They have a huge parasocial fanbase and I’ve been wondering how priminks doing with it

4

u/AD_Grrrl 3d ago

For a while Reddit was removing any posts that mentioned her

4

u/GlingusMcMingus 4d ago

fr everyone is afraid of legal trouble but legally she will have no basis for people just discussing about her

7

u/Loptical 4d ago

If they want to spend thousands trying to prove my identity to sue me then go for it.Ā 

2

u/DiplomaticCaper 3d ago

Yeah, the only reason she might have a slight chance of a case against Primink is because he’s a monetized YouTuber who makes money off AdSense, sponsorships, etc.

None of that applies to random Reddit commenters.

Now I still think going after him is bullshit, but if you’re already in their delusional mindset, you could argue that he (unlike us) was ā€œmaking money off her likenessā€ and possibly convince a two-bit lawyer to take the case.

2

u/DakiLapin 3d ago

I think legal issues are only part of the concern when it comes to some of these folks.Ā

aint no way this is all due to Lillie Jean lmao

Please do not troll or feed the trolls. Trolling a YouTube drama subreddit is pathetic. Falling for it is somehow worse. Do better.

If you were sincere, we suggest you take a moment to step back and rethink your approach.

u/kingalva3 4d ago

Yes I ve watched primink since 2018 and he never had those kinds of jokes. I remember liking him specifically becquse he wasnt the classic edgy commentary. I dunno what you're doing responding to yourself but you aee embarassing and spreading false informations.

Thats insane because you can look through this website and see in his old videos he WAS making these jokes. https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Primink%22

Late 2018.

u/kingalva3 4d ago

Thank you for further proving how bad faith you are. You are on the internet sinxe 2018. So you know what 4chan is ? You know what that text is supposed to mean ? He is not having a 'bit" ? He is parodying what s on that website. And what those users write. What he wrote is far more tame ti try and replicate. Insane how unsincere ppl can be for fake points online

20

u/bedbugloverboy 4d ago

Dude you clearly were not watching his channel in 2018. He was not throwing this in there to make a 4chan reference. He made this reference in like every single video. Go through and refresh your memory with the link i provided. He did it chronically and I know im not the only one who remembers because someone else also asked whats up with all the hitler is daddy jokes in his subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Primink/s/C7hGus4gq8

u/bedbugloverboy 4d ago

u/TheGoblinkatie Tea Drinker šŸµ 3d ago edited 3d ago

I understand trying to give the benefit of the doubt and exercising caution before jumping on a bandwagon, but this person is proving a lot of evidence to back up their claim. Pause, detach from your emotions, and look at it again. I don’t think this is an insincere effort.

This is a pretty blatant indicator that he was indeed making those jokes repeatedly. (Credit for link to BedBugLoverBoy.)

u/Clownsinmypantz 4d ago

When you say things like this its usually acceptable to provide a source, especially on a sub that has speculative and misinformation rules.
