It has largely been upheld in courts that if you put yourself out there to the general public, you lose many expectations of privacy. In the case of the Blue Falcon, he didn't do anything to willingly make himself a public figure and thus has more protection than Swayne. Swayne puts his name in his videos and is a YouTube personality, can't really complain when people call you out by your own name.

If they didn't like what he's doing they'd just tell him to stop, and he'd comply (flow to AA might still be a better long-term proposition that youtube. Maybe).

Who is he dating these days? Ugh I'm so sick of his hair style. I heard he went to this party, last weekend, on Becky's boat and like he didn't even have a good time. He snapped this girl so that's how I know. And like, what is up with his voice on camera?

I doubt almost any of you commenting on this thread have ever worked with him. I obviously haven’t, but frankly I’ve heard nothing but good things from people I know who have.
I reply to this thread because I think it’s frankly ridiculous - YouTube “personality” or not. Who cares? Don’t we ALL have better things to worry about?

This is my issue with this thread and has always been my issue.
He works with us. If you have an issue with him, seek him out and tell him. You have the ability to look up his schedule so you can find him and tell him face to face if you want. Or you can simply look up his company email and send him a message. Those that don't work here can comment at his youtube videos and message him via his youtube account where he actually posts the videos.
But posting here behind anonymous usernames behind the guise of "he's on youtube so he's a public figure"? Come on guys, that's chicken **** and cowardly. This isn't some inaccessible celebrity or politician.

Mods should have put this to rest a long time ago.
Edit: To add on more thing... people here are more likely to say something inappropriate than when their names are behind what they are saying. But the thing is, these 'anonymous' personas we have here are very thinly vailed. Many people have already figured out who we are. Don't think you can just go off like a crazy person and someone can't "play the victim", as you put it, and you're gonna be fine.
