Any thoughts on the Skeuoss drama?

[AlexanderNotGreat]

So Guys I've just watched this YT video


It goes over how the Frutiger Aero youtuber Skeuoss is basically just milking the community by selling dropshipped goods, promoting slop AI content and stealing from real artists.

I mean it does look convincing enough, but also that leaves me with a great disappointment to see the community have this sort of cancer on it.

Personally I'm quite new to both Frutiger Aero and niche (no offense) online communities in general, and honestly Idk whom to believe and whom not to on the internet, so I just wanted to hear yalls opinions on this.

Eh, Personally I love their album and channel, But the products do try a little to hard to be frutiger aero in my opinion.

And personally? I don't care about any drama's, Let people live their lives.

Sounds believable and taken for granted

I didn't see the video yet but let me just say this:

I've known about Skeuoss for a long time, being part of the Frutiger Aero Discord moderation team (not the one from skeuoss, the other one run by ashe, which had ex-skeuoss mods join it to expose him), I got exposed to a lot of his wrongdoings, which have been written down in a document here.

Skeuoss is not interested in the community, all he is after is money, which is also why Frutiger Aero is only one of his grifts, he has many others, like Older Brother Core (Obphoria), McBling, ExtremeSports.news, and others. He also published AI generated books on Amazon.
He is a french person that lives in Thailand, probably to avoid repercussions and taxes, which is also another bad sign.
He also stole from someone's neocities website, and used AI to write the other one.

The products he sells are not original, they are sourced from alibaba and are very cheap, he just slaps his logo on it. His quality control is dubious and sometimes items take months to arrive.


That is to say, this guy is a scumbag and you shouldn't support, defend, or buy any of his stuff.

EDIT: I've looked at the video now, and while it's well made and accurate on the skeuoss subject, I wouldn't recommend subscribing to this person as it is someone who was involved into a drama on another channel, I won't name it or what it was about but it was pretty bad.

Well That's fair to a degree, but on the other hand isn't the whole point of social media is to believe at least some influencers?

[rnottelovesowls]

i’d like to add how ironic it is to use generative AI, dropshipping, and social media influencer tactics to sell products based on FRUTIGER AERO. isn’t that the opposite of everything the art form stands for?

Going off topic but if you're talking about "influencers" as in people that shill certain products on instagram/tiktok/etc., absolutely not.
if you mean influencer as in "internet celebrity/personality", then it's fine to follow them online to see what they're up to, but I'd exercise skepticism with any celebrity or content creator.

On topic, seeing this makes me thankful to be on this part of the community that's independent of the mainstream social media-based fandom, because I no longer have to deal with scumbags like skeuoss.
