It looks like the FineBros have dropped at least a million on their main channel. It probably doesn't help that a recent video of theirs (Elders react to Netflix) was essentially an advertisment about how awesome Netflix is.

GradeAUnderA (another anti-reaction video guy) has a problem with YT Reactor Tyrone Magnus based off the Fine Bros thing, but Tyrone has virtually no idea what the connection is to him and them or why Grade A has a beef with it. The video explaining why won't be out until next week

Well, I would say the one with British Vloggers abusing underage fans, but that seems to have finally ended.

There's nothing wrong with them trademarking their brand, the problem is they worded things wrong.

I wish I could remember the exact wording, but I read a tweet that was like, "The Fine Bros are trying to trademark never actually creating anything original themselves."

I feel kind of bad for Benny and Rafi Fine because I think what that are doing is well intended but man the shit storm from the poor wording and the shocked nature they both had in the apology video did not do them any favors.

I love Alpha and both subbed to him and the Fine Bros. but I think he's blinded by rage just because his buddy Eric's video got pulled which wasn't really funny, is mean-spirited and worst of all CAN be construed as copying the Fine Bros. format. The parody aspect of it was paper-thin too. This article you provided like others linked here is another good rundown of the problem.

Agreed, I'm not joining in the pitchforks and torches, but fact is Benny and Rafi. are more entertainers than they are businessmen. They worded things VERY poorly and that's what provided the spark for the mob out there.

Philip DeFranco did a pretty nice breakdown as well.
This is all honestly reminding me of that Cecil the Lion crap from last year where, even after the full story came to light because the internet decided they wanted to remain angry they kept trying to ruin that Dentist's life over it.

I remember years ago, EGM did the Kids react to older games and Parent react to newer games even before the Fine Bros did it. The fact the Fine Bros are taking down video for something they pretty much copy themself is why people are mad.
