“YouTube celebrity”

Epic Cringe!

I never liked him anyway (Slicey Dicey I mean) but Super Steel Steve's videos about the ordeal were pretty epic. He was launching Molotov Cocktails...

Dicey seems like a pretty garbage human after all of this...hopefully he moves on to something else. He got caught up thinking he actually was some kind of "celebrity".

Sorry that you were personally affected by the situation. Let us know how it plays out.

For me YouTube and "celebrity" shouldn't be in the same sentence

Lol when YouTube is paying you money and knife manufacturers give him stuff to review, the egos will grow

Guess his name now is just Dicey.

I'm happy to be out of the loop on this one.

In the future, if making p2p transactions, use PayPal G&S rather than F&F, Venmo, or the Cash app.

In the event of fraud, they'll cover it.

Did you ever get the knife? I feel like there’s lots to this situation that hasn’t been said.

Ahhh yes, another time when I have no idea what this is about because I do such a good job distancing myself from this sort of thing. I came real close to trying to make something of myself on the ol' boobtube but thankfully came to my senses. I made most of my videos private and only upload stuff that I can't easily word out in pics here on the forum.

Anyway I hope you get it sorted out.

Yeah slicey dicey seems like a fraud. I watched a bunch of his vids while in pandemic, and he was accepting generous gifts from people while he supposedly had "covid". I felt this was a very shady and he should have returned the knives. If a vendor wants to send you stuff I get it, but people feeling sorry for this clown were sending him Hinderers and Crk left and right...... Dude prolly never had covid and if he did it was a minor cold....

I knew nothing about this until last night. Looks pretty shady.

An apology is up.

I have seen a couple of his videos but I don’t follow any youtubers or influencers too closely. I also don’t have too much time for knife community drama. The fact that we consume massive amounts of marketing and call it “content” is strange to me.

I can’t be the only one who sees the irony of his name being dicey. It literally means risky and unpredictable.

This thread isn’t really gonna follow the shiny footprints rule. We should tread lightly.

I hope you can square things up with him. Everybody makes mistakes. If he owns up to it and makes things right then great. I believe in forgiveness.

Yeah, that's someone that doesn't have a real job to go to so they spend their time making videos for YouTube. Their only claim to "celebrity" is that their videos are watched by others with no jobs to go to.

Sad.
I hope we don’t get “Diced” again. Super Steel Steve made some great points that we are a kind and generous community that got taken for a ride and we need to expose fraud as a community and not let good people get caught up in this stuff. I guess he is saying he should have been exposed a while back but people just did not want to get involved. I don’t know all the facts but too many people got “Diced” before this came out to the community.

What a dead beat loser.

Except he is the editor of Knife Illustrated magazine...so he has a job outside of the Youtube gig, as do many "youtube celebrities".

I don't see why people are so up in arms about people making a living making content on Youtube anyway. Yes, some of it is pretty stupid, but there is also a lot of good channels out there making very good educational, informative, and entertaining content. A lot of hard work is put into some of the videos. Writing, recording, editing...just like any other media. Youtube creators just don't have to be attached to a studio, publisher, etc. It's basically self publishing. If they can get compensated fairly for it I see nothing wrong with it.

I watch youtube quite a bit, and find a lot to like. A lot to not like as well. I also have a career.

Now as for Slicey Dicey...he's rubbed me the wrong way quite a few times on his videos. I watched because I was interested in certain knives and I watch a lot of videos to get a feel for if I would like the knife in question. Sad that someone can't hold to their commitments and takes advantage of the generosity of others. Oh well though...that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

The editor of a magazine was doing this bad stuff? Wow... 2 jobs and you still are greedy for other people's money/knives...

Makes you wonder how many people he's stolen from that haven't spoken up!
He is a registered user on these forums. Only had a few posts a few years ago though.
I hope he grows a conscience and makes things right with you S-3.
