The Sam O'Nella fandom is dying! Click here to kill it faster.

For those of you who have been researching mathematics and philosophy in a Montana cabin, Sam O'Nella Academy is a history/science edutainment YouTuber with a knack for comedic timing and beloved, absolutely dogshit art. As of today, it's been nearly two years since his last video upload.

Since the Academy's last lecture, there's been a schismatic issue in the mind of the content-starved fandom- whether channels that take inspiration from Sam O'Nella are heroes or talentless hacks. You don't have to look far in Sam's official twitter to find users linking copycat channels to "let him know" (or covertly shill their favorite substitute teacher), and siring comment chains full of bickering.

Of all the Academy alternatives, Jake Farm seems to be the best produced. I'll let the channel's sole video speak for itself. Jake Farm is the semi-recent rebranding of a much more maligned channel, Sam O'Nella Shorts, after allegedly coming under new management. Shorts created animatic-monologue videos in the style of the original channel, didn't make the lack of official affiliation clear, and used audio clips of Sam O'Nella ripped from non-YouTube content like streams, podcast features and patreon bits. And boy, did it get SHAT ON.

Subreddit search for "shorts" gives you everything you could want and more: https://old.reddit.com/r/SamONellaAcademy/search?q=shorts&restrict_sr=on

Under intense community pressure and mounting channel reports, Shorts went to ground. Disabled comments and stopped posting entirely. Eventually, an adventurous redditor reached out, posted in a weirdly sympathetic way towards Shorts, and was awarded the channel. This gentlesir has his doubts, and the comment attracts replies from suspiciously low karma accounts.

Posting on Reddit did nothing to actually help Jake reach out to Shorts, and did everything for establishing a public "paper trail". It took Jake Farm about 0 seconds to delist all of the previous videos/evidence that was getting reported anyway, obliquely beg for monetization back, and as he helpfully points out in his posts and his video, you can donate to him through Ko-Fi or Patreon. Draw your own conclusions.

TL;DR Imitation youtuber got caught clipping the OG, and the coverup job is unconvincing. Perpetual niche seethe is possible.

I enjoyed his content, however his zoomer fanbase needs to learn to move on and touch grass, not everyone wants to sustain internet fame for the rest of their life

this tbh, but darn is it fun to watch them have these pissing contests on who the true "successor" should be. It's ugly in a beautiful way.

This morning, Cum went to the park. I went with Coom. And Cum brought Coomer frisbee. At least I think it was Coomers. By the end of the day, Cum started throwing the frisbee to Cumself.
