Klein called out Jake Paul for the scam in a previous video on January 2, where he argued that Paul was promoting “what is quite literally gambling” to his relatively young audience.
Paul responded to Klein’s video with a short Tweet, writing, “Lol love this vid,” – which Klein criticized with heavy sarcasm in a following video on January 4.

“I gotta tell you, this response… I sat on it for about an hour,” Klein said of the Tweet. “I was like, ‘did you know this was a video about you?’ You love this video, Jake? I was really trying to make sense of it.”
Klein went on to take issue with RiceGum’s video responding to the debacle, where he listed a series of other popular YouTubers who had partnered with the service – including the likes of vlogger David Dobrik.

“…you have a big channel with an impressionable audience so you have more of an obligation,” Klein warned. “So when you do something stupid, it’s obviously gonna attract more attention. But I love how you’re snitching.”
The site behind the debacle has likewise come forward with a statement on the issue, urging any dissatisfied customers to reach out to their customer service branch in a Tweet on January 4.
