Initially the majority were on Rob Chapman's side. They tore into KDH. He took his video down. Then a few more videos were made by other channels criticizing Rob & it has turned into an anti Chapman backlash. He seems to have gone to ground. Must be a concern since he built his business via YouTube.

Most likely someone said something,someone disagreed with it and felt a need to comment on it,everyone else felt left out and as a result felt the need to also comment eventually leading to some unboxing,reaction and fan edit videos.

I watched it and am familiar with the guy from some of the guitar demos he always came across as a knob really.

I don't mind Rob Chapman at all. No interest in his guitars or bands but the videos can be alright.

Never liked him, right back to the ponytail days on the Anderton's page. All this came as no surprise.

Who is the irish guy in sunglasses and what is is thumped username?

That's the guy who started it all.

Some of the comments on the videos are just ridiculous. Neither of them have killed or molosted anyone but the millennial keyboard warriors are so offended that someone said something they don't like & they must be destroyed. They're the internet equivalent of piranha fish.

So Chapman posted an apology video & the comments have done a 180. It's all gone back to normal. The millennial outrage mob have moved on to another target. They've probably gone back to trying to get Graham Linehan to kill himself.
