Because you’re proud of him!!
I’m shocked to see just how SILENT everyone are about Article 13 and what it could potentially do to us European social media users as well as to anyone outside of Europe.
On September 2018, according to the Verge: “Yesterday, the European Parliament approved amendments to the controversial Copyright Directive, a piece of legislation intended to update copyright for the internet age”; “But the proposed change hasn’t finished yet, and it’s still too early to say exactly what it will mean”. That was back in September.
Recently, Youtube started making noise and sharing all the information needed on Article 13 and what will happen if it gets approved by the majority in the Parliament (you can read all the info on their twitter account @YTCreators). The news are not great and there’s NOT MUCH TIME LEFT before the final decision gets made. The whole European Parliament will make final votes for or against Article 13 in 2019 around spring time. That time will be crucial not only for US EUROPEANS but for THE REST OF THE WORLD as well. Why?
As WIRED writes, Article 13 will have major influence on all the content that gets shared around on social medias like Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Youtube. What that means? European social media users won’t be able to share music, videos, photos UNLESS they’re original and were created by them. If not, social medias will be forced to REMOVE any content that infringes on copyright, meaning all reaction videos, gifs, memes, songs will be continuously banned from being used by us.
And most importantly, YOUTUBE AND ALL YOUTUBE CREATORS IN EUROPE WILL BE IN GREAT DANGER. Why? Because same things will happen on youtube:
Billions of videos made by European content creators will probably be removed- again because of new copyright laws;
Small content creators will have the biggest crash and will literally have to say goodbye to their dreams of even becoming youtubers, because the focus will be put mainly on big youtubers and big corporations running youtube channels- everyone else will be left in the dark;
The access to youtube videos by us regular viewers will be limited SIGNIFICANTLY to the point where there’ll be any content left to watch;
Any creator OUTSIDE OF EUROPE will lose all their European viewers, meaning SIGNIFICANT DROP IN NUMBERS;
Any European content creators will experience significant changes on their channels- all to the worse resulting in HUGE LOSS OF VIEWS and SUBSCRIBERS as well as FACING THE CONSTANT BATTLE AGAINST COPYRIGHT STRIKES;
That’s right, all European content creators will have to PROVE that their content is original and ONLY ORIGINAL. If not, those videos get removed instantly. So what does it mean to all the gaming channels? To all the react channels? Youtubers right now have to deal with constant copyright strikes resulting either in demonetization or their videos getting taken down- what will happen when Article 13 gets put in place???
So what can we really do?
First and foremost don’t sit back on this and think all of this will be fine, it’s not that scary as everyone makes it to be. OH HELL YEAH IT WILL GET SCARY once you will face all the consequences of not doing anything to change things around.
GO AND TYPE OUT YOUR OWN POSTS SHARING YOUR CONCERNS AND ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO TAKE ACTION- TAG AS MANY FANDOMS AND YOUTUBERS AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN THINK OF
Anyone who lives in Europe- go to saveyourinternet.eu and contact your MEPs. THIS PART RIGHT HERE IS CRUCIAL, BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN BE HEARD. WRITE EMAILS TO THEM, MAKE CALLS and state all the FACTS on why ARTICLE13 SHOULDN’T BE APPROVED!!!!! PESTER THE HELL OUT OF YOUR MEPS!!!!!
Anyone outside of Europe, please PLEASE go to this site and sign this petition: https://t.co/QY3fwK113F. The goal is 2 million signs, but I’m 100% we can surpass that goal and show just how much we care about this!!
As an European myself, I’m GREATLY TERRIFIED about what will happen if Article 13 gets approved in 2019. If action will not be taken right now, we will be striped down of our ability to stay creative, have fun on the internet and enjoy the content shared by everyone around us.
like if you left.
I got Chase and I'm so happy! You know we be doing trickshots and having Nerf wars!

First day of school! I'm excited and nervous! But anyway, I'm happy that I'm going to see my friends again and probably make new friends! Old and new teachers too! I know there are going to be things that I'm going to stress over but I know that I need to keep calm and collected, breath and keep the PMA going!!! So good luck for me and for all of those that start school today!!
Good luck to @unicornwaterfall and @saturnthewolfyt !!! My sister and cousin that also started school today!!
Puerto Rico banded together, protested endlessly for the past two weeks, and effectively made the corrupt son of a bitch of a bigoted governor to resign. Que viva mi Isla 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 change IS possible. Let this be a turning point for yall
Boss Week part 3 is a month away! Time to start those creative gears! If you don’t know, Boss Week is a week long event that starts on Febuary 1st and ends on February 7th, which is Sean’s birthday! Each year we answer questions based off of themes for each day and this years themes are:
February 1st: Beginnings: What about the channel first peaked your interest or made you subscribe?
Febuary 2nd: Growth: How have you grown as a person being part of the channel?
February 3rd: Friends: Have you made any friends in the community? What are your favorite memories together?
February 4th: Emotions: What video/ series has made you the most happy, sad, thoughtful or relaxed?
February 6th: Words: What thing or things has Sean said that have impacted you the most?
February 7th: Birthday: Create a special birthday themed post!
As always these can be done in whichever style you choose whether it be art, music, wirting, gifs, video edits or more on any social media platform :) the event starts febuary 1st so you still have plenty of time! Be sure to tag them #bossweek or #jsebossweek! Can’t wait to see what you all make!! :D
Yes! I've made two! One is a classmate and the other is actually my younger cousin (I didn't know she was part of the community). One of my favorite memories with my friend/classmate would be the small quizzes I would do to her about the egos, since she was new to community.
I also consider Sean as a friend even if never actually met him. Is good to just chill when he is playing games or live streaming.
I'm dying! Chase!
Oh god, if that isn’t Chase then it at least have to be a reference to him, haha
