It's too bad this person didn't watch more of my content and get to know my story. I've read this person's Twitter quite a bit and liked it, did not expect to see this.

I just started a vacation, so kinda weird timing but what can you do? I appreciate everyone's support on here, even though it angers others.

Bryan, I'm so sorry I didn't send you a message about this earlier. I've seen everything that went on. Ive been busy at work and it took me a while to process this, but I really had a lot I wanted to say and and wanted to write a proper message to share all my thoughts. I am so angry and frustrated that this happened to you 🤬. I don't have Twitter but saw you post this on your Patreon while I was at work. Even without an account I was able to see the twitter posts. At first I was in slight disbelief then I was so angry. I can only imagine how it made you feel. I wanted to say I hoped that you didn't waste too much time out of your day on this or thinking about it, but I've already seen from your reply to someone else that it really got you upset 😢which is not surprising at all and totally understandable given the situation. I was brought up to think positively about things, give people the benefit of the doubt and consider that we can all make mistakes and change and grow. But honestly when things like this happen, sometimes it's so much easier to just say people suck!! I Know who DJ Jino is as Ive seen his channel - I've watched small parts of his videos before a while ago but never a whole one - he always seems to post long livestream reactions I'm guessing from Twitch. His vibe just wasn't for me and I cant pin point specific things I heard him say, but I just didn't really like his attitude, found him a bit disrespectful in some of the things he said. After I saw what happened to you I went to look for his channel to see if he has Patreon and found to my horror I was subscribed - well not anymore! On that day I kept checking on the posts and saw when that tweet was eventually deleted. I didn't want it to stay up there but it kind of annoys me the posts been deleted now as people can't see what he did - its like hes still getting away with it. I agree with others that have said his apology to you should be public on his twitter as a post with a clarification to his followers that he made a mistake using the screen shot from your channel as an example as he doesn't even know who you are, your story or what your channel is about (as clearly he doesnt). His apology in the response message to you is better than nothing, and I could be wrong but doesn't seem very sincere in my opinion. The way he said "shouldve probably" it should just be 'should have'. And his further message joking (I think that's what he was trying to do) about how the DM option was directing him to donate to your Patreon was just stupid. The impression I got was he only deleted the tweet because he was caught out and because of the comments he got from your supporters as it was making him look bad. Then it seems like he honestly realised he made a mistake but his ego got the better of him and he didn't want to admit to it - but again I could be wrong. I'm so glad other subscribers with Twitter got on there and told him he was wrong. Its pretty funny that he thought he'd blur the images from your community post and no one would see who he's referring to, but then he was caught out by you as you the owner of the channel as you were following him 😆😆 It frustrates me when I see people who claim they are ARMY being so toxic. Again people can change and grow as were all human, but it really seems some people get this holier than though attitude and either completely miss BTS's message in the first place or forget somehow. Boggles my mind. I see DJ Jino doesn't seem to have an issue with reactors using Patreon or receiving money through it (I mean he has one himself as does Roscoe who he seems to be friends with) just BTS reactors who make content (specifically reactions of songs and MVs) only available behind a pay wall which is seen as taking advantage of subscribers for their money. His downfall was using a specific reaction channel (yours) as an example when he clearly hadn't even read the screen shot properly, or looked into whether or not it was a good example. I mean unless he's going to take the time to sit down and watch a channel properly to find out for himself and not just make assumptions, then he doesn't have the right to reference a channel. Regardless I really dont think he should be using anyone as an example for a post like that, especially with the amount of followers he has - and his twitter description does say hes an "influencer". Singling people / channels out like that is just toxic altogether. I mean people can have their own opinion on a channel, about them being fake or clout chasers, but at the end of the day it's just an opinion and theres always a chance you could make a mistake. I mean I've definetly watched channels whose genuiness (or enjoyment of BTS) seems questionable, but unless there is some substantial proof it could always be someone conflating their preference for a certain reaction type or style as the reactor being disengenous. I saw people making comments on the second twitter post (without your channel screenshot) that they would never give another person money to watch their reactions. Well obviously that's their choice but I like to think that those sort of people havnt found a really great person like you and awesome channel like yours that they enjoy. I did also see people with the comments that they think it's unacceptable full stop that reactors have Patreons, but also that they don't like that there are reactors out there seeking to get enough Patreons to run a channel full time and not have to 'work'. They have issue that people/ BTS will be 'paying their bills'. I dont really get that logic. 🤷‍♀️Obviously people can watch BTS and their content for free, but we watch your videos for your reactions and content. Your honest commentary, thoughts feelings and opinion add to the existing content that you are reacting to, to create something new, whether that is BTS or any other artist. If it would ever happen that you would have enough Patreons that it's able to fund more than just your equipment, pay your bills and mean you don't have to work, then that would be excellent! And I would have absolutely no issue with that. As long as a reactor is genuine, doesn't exploit or mislead people and enjoys doing reactions, I don't think there's any problem with them receiving money through Patreon or any other means of donation like PayPal. I agree with the majority that I prefer that reactions to songs and MVs should be free on Patreon if there blocked on Youtube or made available on youtube after/ as well like you do, but even if a creator has Patreon only /exclusive content and even if some of that is their reactions, no one is making people give them money. People are entitled to their own opinion, but I think as long as reactors are genuine and not being misleading or exploitative, people that want to support them have a right to do what they want to do with their own money. Sorry I know it may not be the best analogy (and a political matter in the US) but it reminds me of people not wanting other peoples debts to be wiped clean by the government because they don't think it's fair as they had to pay their own debt, so why shouldn't everyone else. So same as them thinking they have to work a miserable or just boring job they dont enjoy to receive income so you should too. People seem to have this affinity to other people succeeding, receiving good things and being happy in life. If you can do something which you enjoy (like make Youtube reaction videos) and you make other people happy, people appreciate what you do and want to support you by giving you money, that's amazing. If someone receives enough combined donations to be able to support themselves and their family financially as their main source of income, then even better. Obviously I have no problem giving you money for your channel - you are honest, genuine and transparent and you deserve it. The money you receive from me is for you for your content, not for BTS or any other artist or their companies. They get my money in other ways. I want you to receive my money because I enjoy your content, watching it makes me happy. And I know even though you enjoy doing it, it still takes you a lot of time and effort from creating and editing the videos to reading everyone's comments and engaging with us. You don't have to do reactions and could easily enjoy BTS on your own saving you time and money, but you choose to share your reactions with us. And regardless of watching your videos I'm still going to consume and enjoy BTS content. Even if people havnt left a comment for you here or on your YouTube community post about this, remember that we all chose to subscribe to your Channel and / or joined your Patreon for a reason - because we support you and enjoy your content. Yes majority of us are all here because of and for BTS (your BTS reactions) but we will all be also supporting BTS independently of supporting you and can 💯percent do both. Hope youve had a great vacation with your family. 😁 Hold on to the nice comments, feedback and love, (not the hate) they are worth so much more. I wanted to share this short video with you. This situation got me thinking of it, I find it's so relatable and powerful, made an impact on me when I first saw it and is a perfect reminder to help put things in perspective and only embrace the good things. It's actually a YouTube short so it isnt long at all https://youtube.com/shorts/AqepWpMLKP0?feature=share Please do not doubt yourself and your channel and treat this as just a drop in the ocean. Upwards and onwards to better things. 🤗💜🎵😌 P.S. I've seen your first reaction video with Claude and looking forward to watching the rest. And If you havnt heard it yet or heard about it, the song Smoke Sprite (Feat. RM) by So!YoOn! Is absolutely amazing!! and the MV is mesmerising - and I'm honestly not just saying that because RM is featured. Would love to see you do a reaction to that one, but either way definetly give it a listen.

Thank you so much for your support, this was nice to read this morning while having my coffee. My thought is what my wife always says to our kids when they are complaining about others "mind your own bobber, not others"

As I was reading through the above comments I recalled RM’s lyric from Cypher 4 — “I like hate comments more than no comments” 🙂 Appreciate all you do. Hope you and your family had a great time….
