Many users on Youtube dedicate videos to ridicule another user (often a more popular one). These users also flag their target's videos from anything to copyright infringement to nudity in this new form of cyberbullying.

Probably the most infamous offender is Gunfever who is known for targeting videogame reviewers and anyone who rises to defend them. He constantly talks in a gangster esque vocabulary and his only known motive for his actions is that the reviewers "stole his shine". More than once he's been banned for his actions but he keeps re-spawning a new account with a variation in the name. Some examples would be TheGunfever or ElGunfever. He has many followers who support his actions such as ShadowX39 and BBC33333. The reviewers also have many supporters which makes this issue somewhat comparable to Lord of the Rings. We have a main protagonist, Armake21 (reason for being is because he is the subject to most of the critisism). And we have a main antagonist, Gunfever, and his followers/minions.

Another user by the name of stopgunfever dedicates his account to fighting Gunfever, but he goes about this the wrong way because he uses the same tactics that Gunfever employs. He uses "The Movies" movie making option to show insulting videos of Gunfever being insulted, injured and killed at the end. If you want my personal opinion, I say we just take Armake21's advise and just ignore him. He'll stop eventually if he knows that we don't care.
