From peddling NFT scams to his young audience, to shamelessly plagiarizing content from even the biggest creators, Steveee has cemented himself as one of the scummiest Minecraft content creators on the platform. This video will document his story being exposed by the Minecraft community, and his response to the allegations. This is the story of Minecraft's Worst Content Thief

As many have pointed out, it seems that I switched to my dollar tree mic at 0:07 to 2:53. Truth is, the music got copyrighted, so KZhead tried to mute out the background audio as best as it could. Apologies for that, it won’t happen again.
Ok.
What was the original music then?
Oh ok cool! I was going to say something too but since you already know I won't say anything lol :) you're video is overall really great!! Also the way you tell the story is fantastic!! I thinks it's really well told and put together. Keep it up!
Ok :)
Can I get some diamonds
I had no idea I was partially responsible for the downfall of the Steveee channel. This is exciting news!
Damn
He deserved it.
I agree. Thank you for your help 🫡
Not all heroes wear capes
Thanks for that lol 😂
I haven't heard the name steveee in years, but he used to be liked by the community. How people have fallen
Same
Same 😮
Say…who hate stevee
He was falling from the very beginning though, people only realized it way later, it's crazy how stealing content and reuploading as yours can get you to such a big size and make you even respected in community and it only comes to light when big the theft happens from big youtuber
@@luamluag4100 everyone watching this video.
That video steveee made trying to expose me was the most hilarious thing I've ever watched, I was literally dying with laughter I started to tear up.
Hi BritishWeirdo
Nice
Mind putting a link or title of video?
Hey BritishWeirdo theres also a copy of steveee called alexxx which is more then likely run by steveee
@@JyTVOfficialbunch of channels copy. Most likely as you said are run by the stevee channels
3:23 stealing from Mumbo was Steveee's biggest mistake; it ignited his well deserved downfall.
What kind of idiot steals from the biggest redstoner in the industry
Bro really stole from a 8 million sub channel 💀
@@Heretowatchvideos123 What the hell did he think would happen?
He didn't even fly too close to the sun, he dive-bombed into it head first
@@Door227FR Literally everyone who's even dipped their toes into the fanbase or Minecraft YT knows who Mumbo is
the fact that mumbo himself called him out on blatantly stealing his design literally days later
the fact that he copied a mumbo video and didn't expect to be caught
@@thelastagnikai132 man thought that he sneaky
@@kaekkokirrin6140 man thought taking a design from someone who thinks redstone is easy would be easy
@@Zero-ve4lt man really thought he can get away from it by having the same title
Litterally copying another youtuber such as Mumbo is a bold & stupid move imo.
The worst thing is people wont even see the dislikes on the videos without extensions so children will never notice whats going on
Man, it’s almost like removing the dislikes was a shitty concept in the first place, just a thought
@@PunishedKrab But does KZhead care in the slightest? Nah, they just updated the platform to be shittier as it was since 2020, plus content stealers and people who also quite literally do illegal things on youtube such as animal abuse for example and KZhead just lets it slide. How shameful of Steveee (for stealing content) and shame on the KZhead company as well.
@@PunishedKrab wow yeah Nice job KZhead (Not sarcasm totally)
I feel like children would watch shitty content regardless of dislikes and likes.
@@BreadCrumbsAndBeaverSpit No, children aren't dumb
I remember watching Steveee exposed, it made so mad I couldn’t finish watching it. To steel someone’s work and then accuse them of theft-the audacity. It’s honestly on of my biggest fears as an author that my work will be stolen and I’ll be helpless to stop it.
Same here.
*steal
Also i love how they said they "steal" when phoenix always says in the video who gave him the idea and provides links, and basically all the creators that "also stole" put links or gave credit, i know mumbo has several times said "i saw this video heres the link to it but i wanted to recreate it" and the creators always put their own spin on the build anyways! Stevee literally just slaps the skin on the video and calls it a day, i hate corporate nft accounts that are used to sell to children :/
I had absolutely no idea Steevee was a content stealer and scammer. Thank you so much for making this video❤
I knew about the content stealing part but not the scamming part.
@@nightmaregaming8077 Same
@@nightmaregaming8077 knew it instantly when i got a notification of his nft that's when i just noped outta there
@@moditorplayz I was never subscribed to him so I never knew he did that.

oh my god!!! i didnt't expect that, it was so scary 💀
it was sooo scary I jumped into the sky and met a bird and we became friends but i'm at home and okay now!
@@um_idkw So it doesn't only happen to me.
A funny thing is that mattbatwings once made a 3d renderer but the world download was a purposely broken version with a sign that just said „hi steveee“
I don't know who mattbatwings but damn thats pretty funny troll
They’re one of the channels that steveee stole from
And a redstone genius.
i love mattbatwings
@@skye4082"Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"
all I have to say is this: he can be sued in court. Evidence of his plagiarism is more than living creatures on Earth
Great news!
I’ve gotta be honest, I used to be a Steeveee viewer. I had no clue that his videos were copies of others, I just thought he was a really creative guy who could come up with videos ideas instantly which is how he uploaded so often. Only now do I realise how obvious it was that something was happening behind the scenes. I’d say the same thing is happening to all of his current subscribers. They’re being tricked and it’s up to us to help them find their way out of the dark.
Welcome to the Light side friend
Me too
same . . .
Yeah, exact same here I ended up unsubscribing when every title was along the "don't watch this video" line because any time I've seen something like that it's the lowest effort shit possible
The fact that Social Media Moderators DON'T punish these kinds of people really makes me wonder how much(low) "hush money" actually is
it gets youtube some ad revenue literally capitalism in a nutshell
@@marulijosuasimanjuntak3338if that happens clips would have alot of problems. Music part is meh
Two doubloons ✌🏻
Wahhhhhhh wahhhhhhhhhh
@@MrSaul_8 year old.
At 6:48 the nfts look really similar to animations by (cas van de pol),they might have not even made the nfts themselves,and stole that too, WOW stealing an artwork for scamming,how bad can these people be?
That’s what I was thinking at first too, but eh
it is
One thing to mention about Steveee is that he is a silent character. He never speaks in his videos at all. Which, if you think about it, probably helped him to get his current subscriber count. The people Steveee stole their ideas from (especially redstone KZheadrs) speak a lot of in-depth explanations for their contraptions. And that probably would doze some people off. Meanwhile Steveee pretty much literally lets the contraption speak for itself without any explanation about the redstoning. It started when I watched another exposition video not only about Steveee, but also other short minecraft video KZheadrs. I then asked the creator of the video about why people like Steveee gained so many views while the original creators only got like a tenth of the amount. He then answered that the original creators talk a lot about their creation and people don't really like the large amount of explanation. Meanwhile people like Steveee got their gigantic amount of views by simply keeping quiet and let the contraption do the talking. So it's basically a case of a superior not having much luck with his product. But his employees proceeded to sell their superior's product and get all the money for their own due to them slapping their own label/name on it. Albeit it's probably a little more complicated than that...
Steveee feels less like a corporate account and more like the physical embodiment of such creators
lol get in the closet itll hide u from rush and steveee's dumb channel c:
0:48 I want to point out, that Steveee doesn't even appear to be using immersive portals, rather he does the effect through video edits.
The more I rewatch that the more that becomes obvious
Yeah, steveee used some CRAPPY editing.
It is kinda bad editing
@@ShrekTheShrekyOgre terrible*
@@elchuchooofin3807 yeah
0:47 if you look closely you can see stevee's is not even made with the immersive portal mod but with a really bad made mask in the editing transitioning two videos
Holy crap you're smart... You can see the sandstone's texture too..
I remember this guy. I used to be a fan of Steveee back in 2021 (but never subscribed to him), long before I left the minecraft community that same year. Now, 3 months after returning to Minecraft, I never realized that he had stolen a lot of content from other people, nor he scam people with NFTs, until I watched your video a few days ago. And today, I'm planning to leave the Minecraft community once more because of him, I think permanently if this problem continues or had spread to other "content" creators in the making.
I never subscribed to him either and now I’m glad I didn’t
Personally, I used to make videos like steevee but once I started i realised how hard it is to make original ideas. So I stopped that path and started making minecraft animation . Honestly, best decision ever
I subbed
Nice shorts, subbed
Both are ass
minecraft animation, like minecraft school?
W
Dude, this video is actually really well made. the work that went into this is insane, you deserve more subs
It’s better edited then the majority of other Minecraft related videos, even from big car creators.
Can we talk about how absolutely fucking bold it was for him to steal a design from Mumbo Jumbo of all people?
Criminals aren’t very smart.
I mean making nfts was bad enough on its own but SCAMMING people with them??? 4:14 *wait hang on is that my comment*
It is
I’m happy you mentioned the wingman case where steveee stole their video. It’s so sad how he copies smaller creators. I hate that they can’t fight back as much, but at least he’s been exposed :)
2:53 Pov: you just removed your earplugs
i dont get it
The mic quality suddenly increases thats the joke because it's no longer muffled

I remember back in the days of 2021. One of my friends and I were both big fans of steveee, getting excited to get home from school and watch the new videos and talk about them together the next day. Little did we know
Bro I even credit the creators when I'm building a little something inspired by them. Can't imagine how stevee can live with this. Like they said "Only create content if you like it" Stevee is clearly doing for the views and don't care what get in their way.
Wahhhh wahhh goo goo gah gah i love steveee so much i fucking hate all the youtubers he steals from

@@husky0098 bruh I read that in the voice with the music as well
Stevee always tells the truth and is very smart
Stevee is a russian agent spying on viewers from other countries by stealing other peoples content
The problem with Stevee is that he genuinely thinks he's in the right and that he earned his subscribers. He's in denial about his own kleptomania.
Holy smokes! You're such an underrated creator! I'm hoping all the best for the growth of this amazing channel!
i always thought a channel uploading up to 5 videos a day would steal other video's ideas eventually
That or they are a bot-run content farm. Theres this guy called "REO brickfilms" Who uploads Lego animations almost every day. I also make this type of animation and it takes months to create them. Really shows the true nature of these channels, although this example is not directly related to this topic
I remember watching his videos a lot. Too bad to see the state he is in. Great video btw. You have a good voice to do commentary.
2:48 how did he switch mics while talking??
Ooh so that wasn't just my speakers acting up lol
I think that was music in the background
5:38 you can see mysticat talking about his stolen content
The editing is amazing respect keep up the grind also loved the video❤
Your mic sounded like it was underwater for a bit until 2:57, hope it's not broken because I've had over 20 break
I was wondering the same thing.
7:35 im surprised this guy gave him credit
5:24 He literally could’ve used any other item in the game that involves sticks to craft and he chose the diamond pickaxe
I used to see Steevee and other channels like it in my recommended... but I didn't even know at the time they were stealing ideas from people. If not for their stupidity stealing Mumbo Jumbo's content, they likely would have been taking credit for content creators ideas for years without anyone noticing.
A very high quality video my friend with such a small audience! Hope to see more!
Every time I see someone make a stevee exposed video it makes me slightly more happy. And this was a very well made video indeed
Your voice at the somewhat muted parts strangely reminded me of Devil May Cry 3's Vergil. I half-expected you to judgement cut me into oblivion after saying "Now, I'm motivated!".
Banger Upload Thanks for shedding light on this situation (I knew most But some was new information) Keep Up The Good Work!!!
you really have potential my guy , keep it up!
Not sure if you care or not just thought I would leave some feedback on the video: Overall, the quality of editing is top notch and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. It definitely is a pleasure to look at. Maybe you might wanna try getting a different mic since sometimes it can be hard to hear what your saying. Not sure if it’s a mic issue or a sound design issue, but it is kinda distracting. But still really great video!
You're insanely underrated. Keep it up!
bro just keep this up and you'r gonne get big some day you just gotta get notisted. you make as good maybe even better content than big potcast youtubers. you'r allso really good at editing just keep it up :)
Your channels underrated! You deserve much more with your great explanation and your video! I love it, great video!
Nice video. I found it easy to follow as someone new to this side of youtube so good job!
I use to watch him all the time prior to his stolen content revelations going a lot more public, I remember being overwhelmed by all the videos
Let’s not even talk about how his NFT’s are stealing Cas Van Pol’s Art style
you can't steal a style no matter how pathetic it might be.
@@theiaraineaybe not, but you can sure copy one by tracing
@@aaamogusthespiderever2566 then it's not copying the style, it's plagiarism.
@@theiaraine true
wow props to you for even crediting steevee with what he has done. wow
I didn't know this guy at first, so after hearing 5:58 , I thought he was gonna be a p*do blending in the kid friendly MC community 💀
I wouldn't be surprised if he was exposed as being a p*dophile
nice editing I really enjoyed the quality keep it up
Wow steveeee, havent heard about him in a long time. I didnt expect him to be a thief.
"didnt expect a russian to be a thief" how naive
@@bloodkelp but I expected him to be a t3rr0*ist Slava ukraine
You're under-rated, good luck on making video bro
I had no idea this was happening, thank you for the information.
I was once oblivious to stevee too until I saw a lot of the exposed videos and that’s it
9:29 I thought the twist was going to be that Steveee is non-binary 💀
Same
I was about to comment that, lol
LOL glad (they're? he?) isn't, don't want that attached to their communtiy lol
KZhead: “I BAN YOU FOR TAKING THE CONTENT OF YOUR MAIN ACCOUNT!” *Said to an alt account* Also KZhead: *Seeing steveee* “Nah, this is fine.”
steveeee fell off, bro started making skibidi animations now 🗿
WHAT that's a new low
"who is stevee? wrong answers only" "original" made me spit out my water 💀💀
Dude the stevee clip around 0:41 isn't even using the non-euclidean mod that's straight up just editing that's straight up so stupid on stevee's side. Your vids is definitely well edited I'm really impress :O
I used to watch AlexaReal (10:10) and i didnt know that stevee was behind it. Thats really impressive how many accounts they can create. Anyways, Keep up the good work ❤
They probably also host the support accounts that support them
I used to watch Steeveee’s videos, and I had no idea they were copied. I don’t know how he could do that.
this is some great editting, only thing is audio is a bit weird in the beginning but otherwise really great!
The worst part is people who watch him won't even know that he's a content theif because most of the people he steals from are very small KZheadrs with cool video ideas.
"I made it better than phoenix :D" *EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER*
i wonder who the cat PFP at 4:20(nice) is?
Me too, looks like a nice guy.
@@um_idkw i need to know, its my canon event
real 🥶
the worst part is that there are still people actively supporting steveee even though there is already concrete evidence that he constantly steals content
Those are likely channels of himself or theirselves
I renember when he was only 100K subs meeting his channel and enjoying his videos, they were incredible. Only later he was exposed as a content robber and lots of people (incuding me) felt so dissapointed. But the worst of all is the fact that he doesnt show any sign of remorse...
Wow, I really watched this guy like, barely everyday. I mean, this guy had an insane active channel, and sometimes I asked myself "How he have so much ideas in such a short time?", didn't know he didn't have those ideas.
I used to watch him unaware that he was a thief 😢
I was about to complain about the mic and then it magically got better. Either way, great work man!
True, I think it may have been an editing/mic issue? But a small one at that, OP still made a Gr8 video imo
@@Randomlad56 Now that i think about it it might have been that he had used a copyrighted song in the background and there is a feature when you can remove the song but not anything else. I think that's what happened
See what did I say
3:59 carefully apply water to burned area
I like how steveee went from stealing content to making skibidi toilet content slip💀
lol
I remember hearing the name before. Can't believe he was actually a content theft. Anyway, I love your videos! You deserve more subscribers!
One small thing. In that first video, Steveee didn't use immersive portals. If you replay the video and you slow it down, you can see that his HUD emerges from behind the floor blocks of the desert pyramid. What he actually did was replace the block below the floor with a green block, probably using green concrete or any number of publicly available chroma key block texture packs, then zoomed in on the first clip to create a semi-almost-decently smooth transition. Why he did this is a mystery to me, as it's not only quite a bit harder to pull off (well, for most people) but actually looks a lot worse than if he had just done the effect in-game.
5:46 DAMMM
im so glad people finally realize this channel isnt just some random funny minecraft moments channel and that it steals content
I love how it has the sunnyv3 template for the video obviously enhances the video
Although I do agree with this video, I dont get at 8:50 where the redditer claims stevee “used a clip and didnt credit the creator”, in my opinion it’s such a petty claim since the clip is a literal meme. It just doesn’t make sense to me why someone would call out steveee for using a meme
It’s very common for people to steal content as memes, and it’s extremely prevalent on KZhead Shorts and TikTok and other short form content like that, so often people see it as okay, but keep in mind that it is stealing others content, and especially when it’s their humor and playing it off as your own to bring them down and yourself up.
@@e2b265 Ok? Then go call out these meme channels. I don't think stevee tried claiming the meme as his own to potentially bring others down and himself up 😲😲😲
2:49 when your ears pop and you finally hear again
Especially when your in a plane thats landing
the best video ever i love this so much i have watch it like 7 time still is not boring . there was a time when also watched steeve but i shortly found like in a month he steals content from a reddit post . tysm for this vid i am subscribing
I just revisited his channel for the first time after 2021 and what the actual fuck ia going on in that channel. He really hit rock bottom now
Correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t all the content creators who got their content stolen could just copyright claim all of Steveees videos right? I saw a meme channel have this happen a while back where they posted an exact copy of someone else’s meme, and got copyright claimed for it.
Yes but copying right claiming is not as easy it sounds, there is a lot of documents, images proofs, explaining etc that you have to do, then you need to wait to see if what you showed is enough and if they agree with me. There's a reason people complain about youtube copyright system being terrible, and the false copyright claims aren't the only reason.
Fun fact - I heard that this steveee guy is a former Russian minecraft KZheadr nicknamed "Vocky" or "Vockich" or "I am Vocky". And, from what I heard in this video, he didn't change at all lmao. Vocky produced a "I made 100 players do X and Y" content, and some others. But he also copied other people's ideas, copied people's thumbnails, and even tried to get hype thanks to others. For example, one of the first and largest Russian "100s" KZheadrs called FivFiv made a video, and then Vocky would upload his POV of how he participated in that video. That happened many times, iirc. And then, he would argue with other creators about THEM stealing ideas from HIM, and calling their fans toxic children, although his fans were like this. One of the 100s called Denaz made an exposure video (in Russian, sadly, but here is the link, if you know Russian - kzhead.info/sun/eMqTf9qNi5-Ff5E/bejne.html), where talked about Vocky, and talked about how Vocky accused others of stealing content, and being a massive hypocrite in his Discord Server - people needed to pay to get in (although many people payed, but DIDN'T get in), or to buy some VIP kind of stuff on the server (for REAL MONEY), and then they get banned for no reason, the admin of the server being a massive jerk. And the server having very strange rules, like "Not to mention KZheadrs who have over 1,5 subs, because Vocky would be jealous" (i am not joking). And after Denaz's video Vocky left YT, and some people say that he changed into steveee. I think he showed his old nickname in one of the old videos
Been there since the beginning. I was amazed and in awe how the most random Minecraft videos, posted pretty much every day, could get so much attention. That’s changed now.
He was one of my favorite childhood youtubers, now hes like that, everything changes...everything changes...
bro how old are you
You know you fucked up when the nice british guy has passive aggressive tones.
Wow very underrated hope you get big 🙏
people think they can just get away with anything eventually shits gonna hit the fan

(9:50) "they" is both plural and gender neutral singular. This means that "they" is an undetermined amount of people of at least 1 person. It's similar to how "you" is both plural and gender neutral singular, and similarly refers to at least 1 person.

It's crazy how the definition of "they" and "you" changed so much.
It's not just him, seed finders content also gets taken with no credit. A while back (2 years ago) I compiled a list of videos/youtubers that didn't give me credit (or even claims they found it), I got a total of 5,929,055 views with no reference/impression for my work. My seeds are nothing compared to coders, so for them it could easily be 2x bigger
i remember steveee just coming out on my recommended with his first video at the time i started watching him doing some ptretty cool stuff because At the time he was a small creator and had so much positivity in his comments but after watching him some new channels started popping up witch are exactly spectator megamany and axol fast enough i realised they were all copying content from someone and after that i havent seen their videos for a year and a half
7:23 no way, that video was made on my birthday! cool.
