Steve will do it. Gave away over one million dollars in cash, 32 cars, 52 watches before having his channel permanently deleted by YouTube His Mr Beast level generosity earned him 1 million subscribers in his first month, making content one of the fastest growing YouTube channels in history. but Steve is nothing like Mr Beast and YouTube executives are not fond of his business practices. from drinking challenges and a legal substance challenges to meetings with Donald Trump and promoting offshore gambling casinos with Nell YouTube wanted him off their platform forever, but the reason they did it is so small it's almost unbelievable, leading us to realize that Steve's story is a scary warning sign for all creators.

Stephen Dillon Artist has always been the guy who will do what it takes to get your attention. His first YouTube channel started in 2012 shows this house that has his backyard is like did everybody lived in it I Don't know what is with this house dude. I've been to it twice YouTube and Susan what the is it with this house man? First Youtube Channel started in 2012 shows him attempting the cinnamon challenge in history though it is, it is. Otherwise, it's it's Trish Swallowing it, swallowing it, swallow it.

One year later, he ran off at one of his YouTube Idols shoe nice and challenged him to a burger eating contest. Steve Was constantly testing his body's limits. After dabbling in bodybuilding competitions in high school, meeting his girlfriend, and going through the typical teenage party phase, he was desperate to make something of his life. One point I was like enough is enough like I just wanted to do I s I wanted to be something.

that's when I started the making Instagram videos again. In April of 2017, the infamous Steve Will Do It Instagram account was created. His friend Alyssa Wilson actually made the account for him and even came up with the Alias Steve Will Do It and he would truly live up to his name. From Downing bottles of hot sauce with no hands to eating chewing tobacco on tortilla chips Steve was punishing himself for other people's entertainment.

but two months after starting his new career, he was arrested in Florida at the age of 18, charged with possession of marijuana possession or use of drug equipment and knowingly driving. While license suspended, he disappeared from Instagram. Then a few months later Steve was arrested again at the age of 19 years old, this time for possession of marijuana with intent to sell possession of drug equipment and resisting arrest. He was now on probation.

His life was spiraling down. Steve will do it as making a comeback. Can people request things for me to do anything but liquor? Eager to get his life back on track, he remained consistent with his crazy Challenge videos even though they were only being posted to a few hundred followers. but one of those followers was about to change his life Steve The story with him I Think my boy, uh my boy Matt who ran the full send IG Okay, um I think he sent me or Lucas or both of them.

they sent me like a video of Steve and he was chugging Jack Daniels on his driveway like like a full disgusting I think it was like a 2-6 Yeah yeah, it's disgusting like what? Yeah yeah like I Saw that and he was on his driveway and he just pounds the whole two six and I was like I've never seen that in my life Kyle Forgaard was one half of the YouTube Channel Nelk, which in 2018 was already over 1 million subscribers. Not only were they known for being viral pranksters, their Brandon slogan full Send was based around the idea of being Reckless heavy drinking, partying, and living a fast-paced lifestyle. So when Kyle discovered Steve he knew he would fit right in with the Nelk boys just a few months after their first. DM Exchange In late 2018 Steve made his first appearance on the Nelk Channel in a video called Drinking and Lectures Prank and we want to introduce you to one of our boys.

Steve Will do it. It's good baby! Yeah he latched on to Steve They loved his genuine smile and willingness to do anything. He started to play a larger role with each video he appeared in helping more viral videos like we completely ruined a wine tour in Italy that has close to 10 million views to date where Steve infamously slammed a bottle of wine and Dove across a table shattering every glass along the way in under one year Steve Will Do It Gained 1 million followers on Instagram making underage drinking videos on probation at this point he was too popular to just be a side character on the Nelk boys. Channel Listen Up Channel the Steve Will Do It YouTube channel was created on May 30th, 2019 and thanks to Milk's cult fan base, he had a yo What the what's up yo HP wait dude that's my.

That's my top view of all time. H H H Yo is that this guy is not a missed time but wait I'm better than that's. really top view of all time. Is it not? Hold up.

Let me just let me show you brother bro you're you're insane How no shots? Let me check it out. Wait that is insane Yo Yo yo. Listen, it's kind of crazy I mean of course I'll say thank you but I I don't know what to say about this element. Thanks for many times man, you're crazy.

Well because I feel like playing things like an understatement 10K man but yo it takes two cools logs I mean it's like it's like from a company. uh um oh unless nah I think no I think it's legit. you're crazy. Um, if you made a mistake, just send it again and over 415 000 subscribers in the Oh unless I want to go on Death Star yeah if you guys know username chat I'll talk to him about it I'll get it on the star I mean I don't know number to pay to win but 10 years are holding bracket I Don't think it's gonna happen like ever you know I don't ever happen again.

So like you're gonna have one guest star and tell us about your life first. Well because I think that you know I don't think a lot of people in life have like tempted to donate. So if you have like, um, should I feel like somebody I want to give you an interview? oh no, what kind of what kind of person has thank you to donate? No, no offense. three days alone.

Dude. check the stats. 415 000 subscribers three days. bro.

That's insane And his first video went number one trending on YouTube Unlike the typical milk Vlogs and prank videos, he would kick off his channel the same way. He started his Instagram page back in 2017 with extreme and potentially dangerous drinking and eating challenges I ate 4500 milligrams of THC Edibles attempting to eat 30 burgers at In and Out the world's biggest joint challenge in one month Steve will do it Hit 1 million subscribers on YouTube making him one of the fastest growing channels in YouTube history. but Steve's content was Far From The Advertiser Friendly videos that YouTube wanted on their platform making him an easy target for demonetization and Strikes from the very start. In fact, it wouldn't take long at all for his videos to start being taken down.

They don't let me post what I want like I I Posted a video of me drinking beer and it got 2.5 million views. Like like that was actually very quickly in that post a video of me drinking a bunch of wine and then they deleted that video and my beer video. Even with the extreme success his channel experienced early on, wait wait just just as a general thing. How come he gets like an alphabet right? but she nicely would go and get a One Tap 40 ounce of uh rum one Dapper which would kill most humans I think it didn't make sense for Steve to continue uploading videos just for them to get removed.

A few days later he needed to adapt, but he had a plan and in 2020 we would be introduced to the new Steve Will Do! It is changing lives with car and cash giveaways Steve Abandoned the crazy challenges and took the David dobrik slash Mr Beast approach to YouTube gifting his friends and family cars and jewelry, giving away tens of thousands of dollars to Single Moms showing up to dealerships and buying cars for veterans, blessing kids in underprivileged areas with cash and giving away one hundred thousand dollars to strangers in Mexico He separated himself from an elk Boys around this time too, leaving La and purchasing a three million dollar Penthouse in Miami meant he could no longer appear in all their prank videos and Vlogs It's pretty wild how successful Steve's videos were because he didn't really have any concepts. it was just a weekly lifestyle Vlog where 50 of the content was him giving away stuff and each video would get a few million views. but YouTube didn't like Steve's presence on their platform in the same videos where he would do extremely generous companies with Rapper Six Nine and gambling. There are plenty of music videos on YouTube that portray the exact same lifestyle and are even more graphic and those are fully monetized and generating hundreds of millions of views, but that is considered art.

If a vlogger does it, it's considered not suitable for advertisers. As a result, Steve was not making any money directly from you so I would I would give you that I would do like a tenant explanation on why this is the case, but it's it's a company. was getting at least six figure brand deals per video we have. We have offers from uh, two companies that we actually you know we love and uh there's six figure deals for a brand person type like when you post as a as a person it's gonna be different.

Let me post a video as as a a group it's a whole different so it's completely different brand deals per video we have. We have offers from uh, two companies that we actually you know we love and uh, there's six figure deals for uh YouTube advertisement. But many people including myself were wondering the whole time how he got so much money private jets, massive giveaways. He was clearly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and with his channel being demonetized, it wasn't blatantly obvious how he was so wealthy.

How was Steve will do it making his money? What is your mission to be a billionaire? You're gonna be a billionaire. All right to be a billionaire. Yeah, do you have a timeline for that three to five years. We do know that Full Send featured a collection of Steve Will Do It branded Apparel around 2019 and according to the New York Times Elk sold 50 million dollars in full sent merchandise in 2020 and could surpass 70 million in 2021..

So what the 70 million in 2021? So he probably made a decent chunk of Revenue before distancing himself from Nell. We also know guys I didn't want to say anything about it because the merch drops are coming in Guys I It is two ideas that are almost in Guys: Um, I'm guys I'm thinking that hard Salter Brown There are no official numbers released, but they have had a really hard time keeping up with demand. Liquor stores are selling out of all of their inventory within hours of stocking the shelves. It's very possible happy Dad is generating tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars in sales if Steve even has a small percentage of ownership.

That's big money. But just before Steve's demise, a questionable sponsor popped up and took the Internet by storm. Ruben By the way, make sure you're drinking water 2021 thanks to a sponsorship with the offshore crypto Casino Rubet, alongside the likes of Aiden Ross FaZe Banks Ricegum and the rest of the Nelk boys are flying out to Mexico. Since it was illegal in the United States to gamble on the website and stream it for his millions of fans winning and losing up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in each session, it was hard for viewers to look away.

This only increased the popularity of Rubette, who paid Steve big time money. after accidentally pulling up a conversation with another crypto casino on his stream Aiden Ross Leaked that they were making more than 1.4 million dollars a month from Rubat. plus these influencers were profiting off referral codes. The more viewers they got to sign up Gamble and lose money on the site, the more money they made Steve allegedly wasn't even gambling with his own money at the time either, instead using it covering chat is that I don't know the to us these days I have no idea about them on Twitch Okay and I think like any sponsor whatsoever.

Okay, they don't like it. so I have to cover anything possible currency provided by Ruben if I started like putting I feel like I'm feeling if I just filled myself with 4 000 just like right? like I feel like I could like but also it could be dangerous. but I see that there's no point of putting my body or Mind through that type of stress. Yeah, oops I Answered: Wasn't it a lot of people together like a bunch of idiots.

Again, there's no Expos that these people took deals that we never agree with that. Okay I think it doesn't I think they're bad I think they're scummy and then they're dumb. Okay, Coffeezilla literally reached out to me literally to me right? I didn't I gave it all the deal he needed and the reality is what happened. Nothing: you didn't make a video.

Why? Because it's not the same thing, a different ball game. If there was something you wouldn't made a video about it. dude. um a bunch of us are considered like like I Guess you could say like sharks in the in in in the space.

if there's a video about it to make it, he would have just made it I really answered all these DMS Anything that did nothing to do and let me tell you is what it is I don't need it Steve basically admitted here that he's not using his own money and he could never imagine himself doing that. so with no risk Steve was driving young fans towards one of the most addictive vices on Earth making potentially millions of dollars a month in the process. However, he was using this same sponsorship money to give back to people in need. This was an ethical dilemma that would set the Internet on fire, especially after coffee Zilla and some ordinary release.

a five-part series exposing Steve and Rubette, ending with Steve getting on the phone with Coffeezilla and admitting that he has a gambling problem and that gambling problem is not good. And then you're making the majority of your money from getting other people to gamble while you yourself don't really want to do it anymore. Like, isn't that kind of like a problem? Um, it's it's. definitely.

it could be a problem because gambling this is something is big and there's a lot of things. There's a lot of things to do with it. Um, a lot of people don't understand a massive part of it. Um, was um, not ownership share? Uh, um, market share of the of the space Pretty much right.

And people that already already did this where they're gonna go and what they're gonna use. You get it or not. But just like most internet controversy, this blew over relatively quick and in 2022 Steve and many others were back online gambling with a new crypto Casino stake with mega stars like Drake partnered with the company State Quickly became one of the biggest crypto casinos in the world, opening the door for influencers who caught heat from the Rubat. Scandal At this point in 2022, the Steve will do it YouTube channel was doing better than ever.

He was just shy of 5 million subscribers The giveaways and Vlogs kept getting bigger and Steve was now sponsored by Steak Making A Killing. His second channel was also doing well after streaming himself gambling on Twitch Steve would post clips of his streams to his second Channel which is completely allowed and nothing out of the norm. However, there is one unbelievably small thing with these gambling clips that YouTube takes very seriously: the URL according to what YouTube told oh, www.state.com must be blurred out or not visible in the videos. Under any circumstances, you're allowed to say that you're playing on stake Show Yourself gambling on the website, but the viewers should not be able to see the actual URL.

Unfortunately for Steve, this one ridiculously small rule would cause everything he built to fall apart after his editor forgot to blur the stake. URL his gambling channel was deleted Steve created a new second Channel and promoted it in one of his main Channel Vlogs But before he did that, he checked in with a YouTube rep who told him you should be fine if the Google AdSense account on your main Channel isn't associated with your second Channel because if you don't know, that's rough. it's a mistake dude. they would have found anything yet Was it something he posted in the past? Bro: when YouTube Once you're gone, you're just gone People that posted old things.

The people get banned for things that they did like four years ago because of old things. and literally if they want you to off the platform, you're done. That was a more understandable, more recent one that they could use as a good scapegoat. What happened is what it is: I Think no.

You could have theoretically hundreds of YouTube channels that all just get paid out to the same account according to Steve he had a totally separate AdSense account that he claims he didn't even own or he didn't have the password to, but at the end of the day that didn't matter. On August 1st 2022, Steve would get the call from YouTube letting him know that his Steve will do. a channel was permanently deleted. usually YouTube requires three strikes for a channel to be wiped off the platform Steve didn't even have one.

His main channel was in perfect standing when this all went down, causing many to speculate that this was a targeted ban and maybe YouTube was waiting for any reason to take Steve off the platform. Guys, you guys say Good Riddance because you don't like the guy and I am protected with you guys I think I get you really is going from right But but the downfall things. things start happening like that. People that you like then you'll be crying about it right? So you have to treat everything unfortunately.

uh um in a neutral way right? So things like that don't happen, People that you do like right? It's just kind of how it is. You have to be an adult about it if you want to be a dumb is what it is. form YouTube never gave me a call or let me know. They called me the day of deletion and it was a girl and she seemed pretty stoked I was getting deleted and I was like the the set yeah that seemed happy and I was like I was with me and my editor and I'm like we're like bro like she's happy yeah like like she's like like you're giving someone like the worst news possible and you're doing it in a way to where it's like like I like you're happy.

It was kind of just up and so this YouTube employee seeming excited confirms his suspicion that it was a targeted ban because at first the only information that he dude dude it could have been a like computer clerk Andy bottom of the bail person who does like like random work at the bottom of YouTube like partner, communication agent uh liaison type dude like her being excited could be just because she doesn't like him but that person didn't make the decision that. but if I had absolutely no say and if he gets banned or not like actually zero. The guard was that he had quote repeated violations of the community guidelines. but that's imagine thinking a higher up would stick their neck out and give a call that could be recorded to somebody right and tell them that they're fired forever.

They're millions of followers. Holy, you must not know how the corporate world Works Bro the current overlords are just. they did it. They're nowhere, They are nowhere and whether somewhere is a controlled environment with control.

Behavior The world works Extremely vague when the news hit fans, friends, celebrities, they were all shocked and confused. If this happened when he was slamming alcohol and taking substances on camera, that would have made sense. But when he switched up his content giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars to people, what happened? Well Steve finally opened up about it many months later. Yeah, yeah, post gambling.

Clips On my second Channel which you're allowed to do, you're allowed to show yourself playingstake.com You're allowed to say I'm on stake I'm hey guys I'm playing on stake right now but if Steak.com is in the video your channel you get they delete the video right? So the issue started on his second. Channel Steve Will do it gambling. His editor forgot to blur the stadium. All of his videos oh my God Bruh what the which led to his gambling Channel getting terminated.

So Steve made a new gambling Channel but that qualifies as an invasion. If you don't know, you aren't allowed to just start a new channel when your old one gets banned. And he made it even worse when he promoted the new gambling. Channel Next time make your friend make an account called Steve won't do it okay and it's just you with a mask on or some.

And if I can voice change when you're chilling and on his main Steve will do it page that now gives YouTube grounds to terminate his main Channel as well. For example, if I got banned on my second Channel Pat CC even though it's totally different content, I'm still the same owner and while I was banned I wouldn't be allowed to post on my main Patrick CC Channel and if I did I could be banned on my main as well for ban evasion. Steve thinks that YouTube finally got him in the perfect loophole to wipe his 5 million subscriber Empire off the platform because no other YouTuber was banned for gambling on stake. It's crazy to think that this entire catastrophe came about because he forgot to blur a URL from here.

He signed an exclusive deal to make weekly content on the site Rumble in September of 2022. this site is becoming known as the Free Speech platform where band creators flock to since the terms and conditions are very, very loose. Since he's been banned, Steve has definitely taken a massive hit in Relevance since his viewership is much lower on the new site and it keeps getting lower without. Okay.

I'm generally impressed I Know this will sound kind of dumb. It may sound like I'm trolling it. It's definitely taking a massive hit in relevance. you got 388 followers on that.

On that side, it's I mean it's kind of insane. much lower on the new site and it keeps getting lower with every upload. And now that he can never come back to YouTube his career will never be at the heights that it once was nice. Thank you Xq Happy! Dad is a bonus bonus.

Both Steve will do. um, what else yo this is X x on the video I'm going through my voice as well. that is anyone knows that boy I don't know, he's just so soy. Anyone knows that boy I don't know, he's just so sorry.
