There is a bizarre situation surrounding the German YouTuber Gurkensohn. He has apparently sold his channels. The new owner, a “success coach,” uploaded strange videos to his channel. The German Twitch streamer Tanzban is dealing with the situation and can’t believe what he’s hearing.
This is the situation?
Influencer takes over Gurkensohn’s channel and uploads very bad AI videos there
This is what Greger says: In a statement that he uploaded to the Gurkensohn channel (via YouTube), Dominik Greger explains how the situation came about:
Greger says he could have sold the canals for a lot of money, but he doesn’t want to destroy Gurkensohn’s life’s work.
“The account has no value without a cucumber son”
This is how Tanzban comments on the situation: The German Twitch streamer Tanzban reacted to the video with increasing bewilderment. In any case, he doesn’t have a high opinion of “successful coaches” who lure people into groups and promise them a lot of money.
One contradiction in particular struck him (via YouTube):
Especially Greger’s statement that he could have sold Gurkensohn’s channels for €60,000 to €80,000 is not accepted by Tanzban at all:
“Hey, thanks for not selling the account you took. Nobody pays the money for it. The account has no value without Gurkenson. Such nonsense. The range has no value at all without him.”
Tanzban then has to laugh at Greger’s statement about the “standing of the channel”.
When Greger later says that Gurkensohn received a lot of “hate” from the community for the AI videos, Tanzban angrily intervenes again:
“It’s not your community. You have no right to it at all. You made sure that a video on a channel like this… [schlechte] rating has. You caused a lot of people to unsubscribe from it because there’s no longer any Gurkensohn behind it. You’re ruining his life’s work.”
How do others react? You can also see from Greger’s video on Gurkensohn’s channel that the sympathies are clearly distributed. None of the fans can understand why someone else is taking over the channel. People reject the situation and are clearly on the side of banning dancing.
Tanzban is currently significantly more active on Twitch than in the past few months. Apparently a side effect of his financial situation:
Twitch streamer Tanzban says he’s broke: Bought shirts for 400 euros that don’t even fit him
