THANK YOU! THIS IS SO INSANE AND IM SO GRATEFUL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!
enjoy it i know we all would :)
Glad to see you’re gonna end up with a much better PC than you would’ve gotten from that BS drawing
You definitely did not deserve that company screwing you over. I'm absolutely certain that Jay hooked you up with some amazing quality parts! :) Keep doing what you're doing!
P.S.: Jay, pin her comment please?
You deserve this so much, so happy for you!
Nice to see still good people around, cheers from Argentina 🇦🇷 enjoy that Beatiful rig
I'm a now former Mod and Ambassador of Artesian builds, they removed my mod because I backed KiaPiaa and the 2 others poor streamers that got done dirty, I then terminated my contract. I'm actually embarrassed to say I own a PC from them. Then the 3 attempted apologizes from the CEO were laughable. Also the company's FTB has been Forfeited according to records discovered by another person on Twitter. I spent 20 months with the company as a Ambassador and was mod for over a year. I was one of the first 50 followers on their Twitch, nights where the CEO Noah was streaming with no viewers except me. I kept him company so he wasn't alone. I feel like I've wasted over a year of my life dealing with them. Sorry for the rant, just wanted to give my input from someone who's watched them grown from nothing to something.
seems theres a ton of toxicity in the streaming community.
If you enjoyed it then it wasn’t a waste. Gotta support people until they’ve proven themselves unworthy and not the other way around.
FTB?
@@ZE0XE0 I wouldn't say in the streaming community, there's just a major ego problem with the CEO of Artesian, and looking back, I can see when his sense of entitlement started taking shape, because of when he started working with big streamers driving sales up, his cash flow kept going up and up, and money makes people crazy, and the money got to him I think. Really said to see. But if you watch his apology video on Twitter, he doesn't care if you watch his mannerism and listen to his tone closely.
@Shraf2k FTB Forfeited: The business entity was suspended or forfeited by the Franchise Tax Board for failure to meet tax requirements (e.g., failure to file a return, pay taxes, penalties, interest).
I still remember watching Jayz's video of him quitting his job and deciding to go full-time on youtube. it's so good to see Jayz hit the 3.6 million+ and now a Tech Influencer to the rescue of another Tech streamer. This is so encouraging.
I'd love to see those, links?
@@freighttrain7143 /watch?v=IV6Go1IinGs
Links can’t be posted on CZcams unless ur video creator because CZcams ig
Guess I should've clarified when I posted the half link. You copy/paste it into the search bar and then it's the first video on the list. It does the same thing as a whole link except you gotta put in more work to get to the video and that's the only other way besides searching for specific keywords which is what I did to find the vid in the first place.
i feel half bad for referring other channels but him linus and Gamer Nexus are basically and well 1 im probably forgetting others this isnt the point but 2 we should keep helping them have bigger impact so it turns out into a real public tribunal. how even about extending it to other industry O-o
I know this is an old video, but I've only really gotten into your stuff since starting my journey with my first self-built pc a couple months ago, and I just wanna say, your parenting methodology and your general desire to take a stand for what's right keeps me around as a subscriber and new PC owner.
Old but still wholesome. And enjoy your new PC!
Major ups to Jay, EVGA, Corsair, Crucial, and all other companies that reached out.
Respect.
Cooler Master too ^-^ While not featured in this build they offered kiapia a fully paid sponsorship, love to see it!
Wow this is a killer PC !!! would be my total dream pc, especialy for the x570 dark😍🖤
Basically a no brainer, you can't get cheaper PR and you are doing the right thing so it is a win-win.
@@MrJack1987 you're not wrong, but as long as they are doing genuinely nice things I'm all for it. I'm sure they are doing it to be kind mostly.

" i love this case because you can fit a whole lot of components without worrying about if they fit"
- clip of jay griding away some metal
2:40 Turns out there is something wrong with that: you're not allowed to run a chance-based giveaway that demands something of value from the participants, because that makes it a lottery rather than a giveaway. And legally speaking, producing advertisement value for the company running the giveaway does count for this. In fact, even demanding the ambassadors to have that referral banner on their Twitch about page might actually qualify as a requirement to do something of value to Artesian Builds. Even things like requiring participants to fill out surveys can be verboten if the resulting survey data has business value to the company. In the US, only State governments are allowed to run lotteries. And even outside the US, there's at minimum a lot of red tape involved in legally running a lottery. Not to mention private lotteries aren't just illegal to run: they're illegal to participate in. Getting caught up in this mess might actually cause harm to Ambassadors who just participated in it, if the US government decides to be a dick about this. So this stuff going high-profile might actually change the way these things are run in the tech community going forward.
You can make it a giveaway where you just need to register for free, no additional requirements, and that's fine.
You can make it a contest where the best Ambassador is awarded the rig, removing the element of a random draw, and it's also fine.
But what Artesian Builds did was 100% a lottery: there was an element of chance that couldn't be removed by performing better than other participants, and participants were required to generate an ROI for Artesian Builds, which is obviously a consideration requirement. Which means all three elements of a lottery (prize, chance and consideration) were met.
The thing is, they only changed it to those requirements after they picked a winner.
Which is arguably worse because that makes it illegal no matter how you slice it.
ok so what im getting from what you said is that I don't understand anything and you are a very smart person 😅. Man i really need to get more educated with things like these lol
@@windwalker111089 don't feel bad I'm educated quite well but I also have no clue how the law works. Ur plenty smart but you can't know everything
anybody else thinking "too much text, cant read"
The fact that Artesian Builds just shut down operations stemming from this disaster makes it all the sweeter
He fired all the employees who are now jobless because of his antics. Not that sweet if you ask me.
@@TheEchelon There are already people (like Gamers Nexus, etc.) trying to help these former employees who were left out to dry. This might be better for them in the long run, as apparently Artesian Builds wasn't likely to last long even without this scandal.
In all seriousness, the events surrounding the firings suggest an issue with either the taxman or plain old bankruptcy. This whole cluster frack is just unfortunate/brilliant timing.
@@verachia8137 they still need a job so they can live...
I kind of want DawidDoesTech to make a vid on the whole situation. Lol. I can already imagine the hilarious roast of Noah Cats.
My house burned down a few months ago and I lost everything, filming gear, collection etc. The awesome retrogaming community all stepped up to help me. Like you say, the positive things that happen like this are amazing. Nice work!

You gained a lot of respect with that incredibly kind act. Best of wishes to Kia. I'm sure this changed a negative situation into a positive.
I was glad to see this upload and her getting the pc she deserved. Even if it was from someone other than the group that owed her one. But I was also sad to see that she hasn’t posted a video since the unboxing video of the pc. Wonder why she stopped??
@@annadarby7224 She seems to be primarily a Twitch streamer, took a quick look at her channel and it says she was last live yesterday.
For a moment I was wondering how this had anything to do with cars then realized it is her name.
Not only does this shed a lot of light in how amazing of a person you are, but also EVGA and the other brands that didnt even hesitate to give some next level ballin parts. Just makes me love people like you and brands like EVGA even more!
Apparently, this isn't the first time Artesian Builds did this. This went viral because AB did this live. But on some of their giveaways, they disqualified some of their winners through PMs, telling them their subs count are too low for them to receive thousand of dollars worth of free stuff.
While they are scum for doing that they should have had requirements for qualification. I assume they don't have those requirements because they want every streamer they can pushing their products. If they had a sub count requirement they know so many streams wouldn't bother pushing their products if they didn't have the chance of winning a pc so when the winner isn't a higher value "ambassador" they disqualify them.
Cap
@@ster628 captain
What made this all inevitable is how they namedropped Intel as if Intel would be mad if some little scrub won a big prize. They exposed their sponsor to all the negativity they created.
I'd love to see them get ganked for running an illegal lottery.
My friend sold a GPU to them, Artesian Builds tried to scam my friend after buying it by claiming it never arrived to get their money back. Completely and utterly failed at it too. So this isnt the only sketchy stuff they've done.
The funniest part of this situation is that the giveaway is sponsored by Intel and Jay gave Kiapiaa an AMD system. Talk about a double whammy :D
Lmao
Good Guy Jayzus Christ! 😂👏🏻 (Not to be confused with Steve AKA Tech Jesus 😁)
@@spankbuda3084 wheres intels comment about this?
the fact that this incident just got kiapia that much bigger opens her up to bigger and better ambassador opportunities is that much sweeter
Watched about this happening, that CEO from Artisan Build deserves what he's got I just feel sorry for the employees who are in the toilet now. Just hope they get jobs, that's awesome what you have done for the streamer, well done and hope the future is rosy for you and the streamer.
Not just the employees but anyone who relied on them. Literally dozens and dozens of people are out on hundreds of thousands of dollars because their money was taken and their rig was either never built or mostly built but they can't get them anymore with it all being under lock and key. Not to mention people who RMA'd stuff that they can't get back.

yeah i was kinda ALMOST on his side cause well... like my aunt has told me (when i asked for honest legal advice) "your small. nobody cares about you.". but HOLY HELL the guy was so smarmy. and the shady shit about him that came out id go as far to call him evil and stupid.
As a small company from Canada trying to build a name, loved to see this. No one is above anyone else and everyone should be treated fairly.
That's exactly how us at North Florida Computers feel. We love everyone.
🤙 As it should be. Much love from Ont, Canada.
Assuming that's your company's name, misspelling it doesn't exactly reflect competence so you might wanna look up "greengrocer's apostrophe" and set it straight ... cheers 👍

I've been following this saga on Twitter and this is so freaking cool for Jay and co. to step in and do this.
I'm honestly enjoying how all the dirty laundry is coming out. kia came out on top and you love to see it.
well fucking deserved, glad you left that ambassador program
too bad she's using pronouns so I see why they did this
@@zZz-lf1gs wym?
@@SaturdayTwitch i mean what i mean, imagine using she her in 2022, fucking cringe
So happy for her, you are incredible, Ive struggled trying to make CZcams content for over a year and it's can be very discouraging and with limited hardware I can't show off the amazing graphics and perfect frames, it really makes you feel like you can't do much at all, it's really nice to see you do this
I have to say this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time as somebody that's trying to get into streaming as well this is such a conference booster I really appreciate how the community comes together and I appreciate what you did for her
I remember Jay asking about what sort of content we wanted a while back. This sort of stuff is amazing - I don't mean just giving away free PCs to people (that would be ridiculous!), I mean such a humble and positive view of the community as a while as well as such a phenomenally well thought out response to what has been an awful situation for someone. Massively appreciate the positivity and keep spreading the love!
Jay you have my respect, as they say, "Treat people the way you would like to be treated."
Jay is someone who does put his words into action and mad respect for that
My ex said that a lot. Sadly, she was a masochist.
@@qwkimball Lol it’s a good thing to do proper exegesis 😂
@@brando3342 Every time I do an exegesis, they make me clean it up.
That’s sometimes not true. Sometimes the unfortunate reality is that sometimes you have to treat people the way THEY want to be treated.
It's nice to read about the bad guys being taken down, turning this into such a feel-good story. Congratulations Kiapia. Great work by everyone and outstanding help by JayzTwoCents for always caring about the little guy, and knowing one's roots and from whence they came.
Jay you are actually an amazing person. I've been following you for quite a while at this point and you've helped me so much! You are a class act and I couldn't be more proud to be apart of your community.
"Be polite, be kind" Words to live by Jay!!! If everyone just did these two simple things. You've done a very kind thing here. Good on ya brother
And don't forget to rewind
Kiappia: "I win a free PC?"
ArtesianBuilds: "Yes, but actually no."
JayzTwoCents: "Yes, I'll make it for you!"
Jay: fine, i will do it myself
This dude promotes a crap SI however...
Thats called a simp.
I had no idea these scumbags were out there. AND I just bought a system. Glad I didn't run into them. Anyway, well done riding to the rescue. GOOD JOB! You've just guaranteed yourself a permanent place on my CZcams subscription list.
That system is sick. I know she will love it. Good on you Jay for coming to the rescue and helping support her
EVGA is really a great company. I lost access to my email for a month and during that month I got an email about being able to purchase a 3090. I had been in the queue for a year. I emailed them explaining my situation and I gave proof I was temporarily locked out of it and they let me buy one! They really do give people the best even in really challenging times.
Dude i'll hold your word man. My first build just finish and needed an aio which i already bought and waiting for shipping. The aio was EVGA i heard they make a great quality product. Had my hope so high now 😂.
Still rockin my 1080ti ftw3 sli to this day, evga builds high quality parts that last.
@@zanebaird1579 I want to build a 2008-2010 era PC with multiple GPUs. It was the the dream PC I had back then and could never afford. I missed out on a majority of the multi-gpu setups. I did have a couple of GTX 970s in sli for a while. I got in in the tail end of it.
Love this. Its good to hold those accountable
Wow!! Didn't expect to see you on a pc based channel. You're motivation and pure love for your community and how many people you have helped is astonishing. Much respect and love to you.💚🍻
Brilliant Jay you've definitely put more than your two cents in there. 👏👏👏
Artesian Builds are one of the most garbage SI I have ever seen. Absolutely trash components choice and brutally overpriced.
@@oceyho Artesian Builds companies are federally suspended for tax evasion as of now. That means, if you want to sue them, they are forbidden by law to defend themselves in court. You can walk over them. It also means they have no rights to their company name. If you want, you can start a business or IP and call it Artesian Builds. They can't do anything about it. I suggest all the streamers hurt by this go after them now. No delay. They are done.
Haha I see you everywhere dude. You're a cool and good dude.
I've followed your channel for almost nine years. This proves your character and integrity well beyond any doubt. Gives hope to others there's still genuine human beings on this troubled planet. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
Hey Jay! I started watching you when I first got into building my own PCs. It does me proud to see you stand behind people with positive efforts like this!
This is a classy move. I absolutely love to see it. Thanks for being awesome to the community, all of it.
Couldn't agree more!! Good on you Jay. I'm actually more impressed that you're fully admonishing the company. Anyone, everywhere can make a mistake or a series of them, but when they realise that mistake it is all in how they handle it that is most important. Good service doesn't mean pandering to every customer, it means putting right what is wrong when it is out of the customers hands and is something you did.
WTH! Nick what are you doing here?!?!?!?!? You into pc building now too!
Didn't expect to see you here, Nick. You and Jay are both gems!
lol this chick got multiple PC's sent to her. Jay made her one and a couple other companies sent her free gaming PC's after they heard what happen. that's so dope the community hooked her up.
Shame about the others that were also knocked back!
Can we try and get others to help out the other streamers that were overlooked?
I had listed them, unfortunately the comments have been deleted.
I love how after this event, Kiapiaa was getting +1,000 concurrent viewers, which was wayyyy more than Artesian Builds could ever get
The best moments of the online community.
Probably because she got positive promotion from a ton of different people who have millions of subscribers ^^
I've seen a few big people partner with Artesian builds in the past, and they now all made videos distancing themselves from them, because they didn't want people watching their older content and think that they support people who actually just commit lottery fraud (or equivalent) live on camera.
So, due to larger streamers covering their ass, she got a ton of well-deserved positive attention.
@@Nerobyrne she already had more followers at the time..
@@BerrysTC that is actually entirely irrelevant to the discussion.
As usual, sexists just can't stay on topic and have to wedge their dumb opinions in everywhere.
@@BerrysTC Kinda pathetic that this is 100% of your personality since it's all you can talk about.
Don't you feel bad being so pathetic?
OUTSTANDING! What you did for her and kudo's to EVGA as well. Cheers.
Shout out to Jay for being an amazing human being and "big brother" to his fellow creater. I love how artesian builds has gone out of business since this video. I hope she is doing well and is able to use this to create something great with her channel. Good luck!!
Thank you and EVGA for stepping up to fix this awful situation. This is what the tech community is about, helping the underdog. She'll put this rig to good use.
EVGA has won me over with customer service even before this. They deserve a big W
@@fargogh8122 I've nothing but good things to say about both EVGA and Asus over the years
EVGA is the GOAT when it comes to their customer service. Over a year ago, I bought their 3090 off Amazon and it exploded day 1 (honestly have no idea why. I was playing league when it happened.), so I went through their RMA process and it was so easy and the rep was super friendly and knowledgeable. They give you the option of putting a deposit on the replacement, so they send you the new one at the same time you send in the broken one. Got my replacement in two days and it's been going strong ever since.
@@Baka_Mop that's the kind of experience that makes you loyal to the end
@@makatron I've had no issues with EVGA, for the most part. As for Asus, after having to RMA a motherboard and then RMA the replacements they sent me two times before finally getting a semi working one, with the process taking TWO months, my trust in Asus took a bit of a hit overall. I'm currently having to wait for a bios update to see if I can finally get my 4th stick of RAM to work in the new motherboard they sent me.
And that Jay, is why you’re as big as you are. Such a whole hearted guy, even in the darkest of times. Huge props to you and any and all vendors who reached out, still some really good folks in the world.
Glad to have a feel good story. Thank you. Jay and evga needed some positivity today.
Mad respect - plus actually showing a business how to actually build your brand - may you get all the good feels and vibes
This is why I follow Jay and have for 6-7 years. A pretentious moron mistreats someone, so Jay uses his experience and connections to make it right! Jay your a role model for all those who do find success. Keep it up.
yeah he is a great dude
Come for the hardware reviews, stay for the integrity.
Massive respect to Jay, his crew, and all the others who help fight the good fight.
Stuff like this is why I will always be a huge fan of this channel.
Its heartwarming to hear there's streamers and builders that reached out and helped turn a very depressing situation around. Everyone had to start out at zero and work there ways up. I hope it diffidently instills some of positive feelings out there to others to help pay it forward when they see they can turn around and help someone out as best as they can.
This is the first video i have seen of yours and i have to day as an Army Infantry Combat veteran this is amazing to see todays world needs more people like you.
This is also the first video I watched from JayzTwoCents.
Makes me feel good to know that people like Jay and Steve are out there advocating for us. These are genuine people who care, and I am glad to be (if only a very, very small part) of their world. Thanks Jay.

So glad you linked to Kiapiaa's Twitch channel!! Two other streamers, strwbrrymoogle and protezee, were also swindled out of their prizes by the folks at AB yesterday, so everybody make sure to check them out and give them your support as well!
Thank all you YTers for covering this company. I was thinking of having a new computer built and was looking at these guys. Thanks to you and your compatriots, I just upgraded my current rig's parts and am quite satisfied.
This was amazing to watch. Love the support you have for and from the community. Keep up the great videos.
What an AWESOME move Jay!
Hey Insym, proficiat met je succes man, helemaal verdiend. :)

Good on you and props to EVGA for coming through. Personally, I have no desire to watch streamers, but I wish her the best on her stream.
Because of this i'm planning to get a EVGA than a Zotac gpu both are more or less in the same price but videos like this sways audience and i'm one of them
@@milanfan81 Zotac are pretty good, but I did have a Zotac that died, shortly after purchase. I've never had an issue like that with EVGA. Small sample size, long time ago, etc, but enough for me not to want to chance them again. That was an expensive card too, so I was not at all happy about it.
@@johnpmchappell That's rough but Zotac did replace it? Was there an investigation to why it died?
@@milanfan81 I didn't buy directly from Zotac, as I recall. In the end, I was able to return through the online retailer for a full refund. Not sure if they ever investigated, I'd assume so, since it was an RMA type deal, and it was not a cheap piece of hardware, but I never found anything out. Bought the same card, from a different manufacturer, as I recall. It's been a while ... it was nVidia's top of the line, at the time though. Pretty it sure was the GTX 295, as that rings a bell and it was the right kind of time.
I absolutely love the technology community, we're always here to help each other out and it's amazing how much support we've gotten for Kia to grow.
LOVE this! Thank you so much for doing this and thank you EVGA and all those that also stepped in. Wow
Thank you to you Jay for bringing this up and to EVGA for their generosity.
You guys did a good thing. I was gobsmacked after seeing how they treated her _LIVE_ on stream. So holier than thou, condescending, cringy, and just ugh. I had hoped this all gets spun into something positive for her. Best of luck Kiapia. Hold steady and stay the course.
For sure. That really pushed it over the edge for me like why be like that on stream? I just watch that and the only thing I can think is "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
I would say they are going to be sued.
@@zack9912000 I doubt there is much you can sue them for, the person didn't lose any money so there is probably not many ways to do it, but Im not a lawyer
@@Starfire-nv3nk There is definitely a case to be had, whether it would be worth the time and effort - especially since their name is pretty much dirt right now anyway - is questionable though.

This felt good to watch. May you guys continue to be blessed.
KIA gotta be a little overwhelmed, her last stream blew up, 150 followers to 7K, community support was epic. GG
This is why I like Jay, he's such a humble guy it's crazy how much he cares about all streamers or content creators, he's my favourite toutuber hands down.
true also you can see his anger at them on his face
@alifer canimper I was thinking the same thing lmao
been watching for a few years now and love how much of a legend he is. normally there is not a reason to celebrate a company basically bottoming out. In this case where a company tells someone they cant have their giveaway because they aren't "big" enough for their taste, would be like telling someone they cant have the mega millions they won because they are to poor, its ridiculous. but i will be checking out her stream and showing love and support. keep this community strong friends.
I have only recently started to follow Jay, but this is an amazing thing to do in this situation. I am glad that I randomly came across Jay's videos a few weeks ago and began to follow this channel. Thank you for being such a great streamer and for being there for fellow streamers and the community.
Getting royally screwed over by a company is the best thing you can hope for in the Twitch/YT sphere. Also kudos to Kiapiaa for rejecting the "we are kinda sorry" PC from Artesian Builds.
How is that the "best thing you can hope for", exactly?
@@alvinlepik5265 cuz without a doubt, the entire twitch community will be in your side giving you more than what you initially would’ve got
@@bigjuicyvert8751 so, you're speaking after the fact as if anyone should seek their opportunity to get screwed over . Does not compute, brother ..does not compute.
tell that to all the people that get screwed behind closed doors or in contract negotiations that you never hear about. The situations that do get attention may help the screwee, but you have no idea how many small creators there are getting fucked over all the time that you don't hear about. Not to mention fans that accumulate from drama usually don't stick around for all that long unless more drama ensues.
only if it goes viral and puts you in connection with a good community
I personally have nothing good to say about people who do things like that at all, but thankfully theres a silver lining here or gold af with JayzOverkillCents over here lol. Good job man!
Hey you are that dude who makes apex vids, it's always cool seeing other creators I don't usually see in comments of vids

It’s awful when you have things happen like that but it makes me feel good that there’s people like you who undo the wrong that other people have done to someone else.
I would die for a system like this.
Fair play dude! To help someone in this way shows your true colours.
Faith in humanity restored. Seriously, whilst it’s depressing the things people will say or do to others, it also brings out the best of others. I’m happy to be apart of your community Jay. Never change ❤️
As a small streamer from the UK, saving for my first pc build since the original rainbow six game, I'm grateful to see people standing up for Kiapia, I currently enter every free pc draw I believe I'm eligible for, and what happened with her would devastate me, on the plus side though, it's allowed me to find yourself and your videos which will help me get back knowledge of the sort of things I will need in a build. Thank you for remembering we start at 0.
First of all, you are a GOAT. Loved the video brother!!! amazing act of kindness i love to see it
First time I've not skipped an ad in ages, more explosions!
Even more reason to support you and your sponsors.
You’ve been using your platform to do right by the community for a long time.
Sincerest thanks 🙏🏼 for all that you do and the lives you change for the better!
Glad to see the community being positive! Always loved EVGA and how they look out for the customer base!
Good on you Jay! its nice to see there are still good people out there
You are amazing! As a small new streamer I understand how much this will mean to her. Blessings to all of you.
And the good thing is: This will probably work on increasing her viewer base. Thanks Jay, you and your team are awesome!!
Btw, we are missing Nick and Phil on screen!
Definitely! She was below 2k followers when it happened- now she's at almost 18k followers!
Less than 2k when Artesian Builds pulled her name. Over 7k and climbing. On Twitch alone.
So if she ends up getting a bunch of good PCs, she can just keep one or two (for a two PC setup) and then give away the rest throughout the next weeks and everybody wins while we get to spread a good message: "Don't be a dick!"
Edit: Checked her latest stream and within the first few minutes she said she would be giving a setup to her brother and give extras away.
@@spankbuda3084 and how would you know that? It's none of your business on what she does to her computers.
@@spankbuda3084 man, times are hard I'd sell a setup or two haha
Highly unlikely😒
That's totally awesome what you did here, Not only made that new streamer's day but you set a pretty good example for the rest of us,.
So cool to see positivity, generosity and good vibes coming from this, JTC! Good luck Kia!
“Beats anything they could slap together” love how you were just big dogging them the whole time 😭
This is why I follow Jay, he's just one of the guys and helps out and calls out wrong-doing when he sees it! Kudos Jay!
100% one of the best on CZcams for sure. I’ll always be a sub of Jay.
Don't forget the part where he profits from it.
I actually needed this amount of wholesome in my Life today. I am so glad good people like this still actually exist and do things to make the world a better place to their ability. Great shit.
Very nice of you And everyone else involved!
I was just as happy seeing this as I would have been getting this PC myself.
You are so kind!
Jay, thank you.
You've worked with companies like Intel, Asus, and EVGA time and time again to give to the community.
You've helped your community with the PC gaming/ streaming center. You've helped individuals that couldn't afford upgrades and people that volunteer to help the community.
Now you're helping streamers getting shafted by the companies supposedly sponsoring them.
You're a total class act, thanks for being a part of the PC community.
This is why you guy's are so AWSOME!!! If more people pay it forward like this the world would be a better place!
You are the best Jay!!!
Humbled to see this. Very sweet and kind gesture bro! Amazing of you!
That was really cool Jay. Totally made my day. Kudos to EVGA and everyone else who offered to help. Shame on Artesian. The bad publicity this will cost them will be way higher than the cost of the PC. Enjoy your fab rig Kiapia.
This is what makes JayzTwoCents awesome! He truly cares about the gaming community and wants to help out in any way he can. Thank you for using the influence you have to do what is right.
This is a big deal, thank you everybody involved in making this a positive outcome.
Incredible act of kindness... wonderful video and thing to do Jay.
All too often us smaller content creators get the shaft like this and it's good to see that there's still good in the world now and then. If I could do something like this myself, I would do so In a heartbeat. Thank you for stepping up and doing so for all of us that wish we could.
This doesn’t happen often bruh 💀 most small streamers get support from other people, there’s a few bad apples here and there but no
@@PyroInferno110 I guess I've just seen a lot of unlucky few and had some bad luck myself the past couple years then. It's good to hear it's not widespread.
@@BearWaifuAudios yea don’t worry, you’ll get there trust me. Some of us gotta earn the shits
@@BearWaifuAudios especially with where you are now
Absolutely there's such a thing as bad advertising, after hearing this I don't want anything to do with them. Good job!!🇺🇸🤨
it used to be the mantra that there's no such thing as bad advertising, but the internet sure has changed that, hasn't it. i hope Artesian Builds gets themselves a new law team and rewards teams because they're severely lacking
I literally did not know Artesian builds existed before all this. Fuck them with a rusty spork
If you want to know more about it I recommend checking out kristoferyee’s video on this
sucks for the employees but man... that guy needs to get punched in the mouth. Gets to get bought out too and still be an absolutely insufferable, resentful, crap person.
@@mr.behaving I'm pretty sure the cliche is no such thing as bad publicity. There definitely has always been such a thing as bad advertising.
I can see a PR move when I see one. BUT it's for a good cause. So thanks for stepping in and helping Kiapia. Respect.
I've only been following you since the beginning of this year, so I'm relatively new here and I watch your videos every time they pop up on my feed. I already liked your content, but what you did for Kiapia has made me gain eternal respect for you. I'm glad there's people like you who stand up for others, and I'm happy that it turned out even better for her despite going through what must've been an extremely embarrassing and off-putting situation.
Jay, I've been subbed to you for years. Like before skunk works. You have never changed and i hope you never do man. I was hoping to get a pc building channel like yours but life happened and with kids and school that dream dwindled into non existence but i still love computers with a passion and your channel. This was amazing to watch. Thank you for not forgetting your roots and keeping the positive vibes throughout everything!!! Much love to you, yours, and all the small people grinding away!
My favorite video will always be the massive gaming monitor where his face gets illuminated by explosions from the screen. I have a gif of it as a regular reaction. I love how excited he gets and how kind he is.
It's been a little over a week and I'm still coming back to this just for a quick feel-good reminder of how awesome the PC hardware community is.
Thanks again Jay for being an awesome person first, and an awesome content creator second.
Evga is and always will be my favorite of the manufacturers, it seems like such good people run that company.
Huge props to you Jayz and all that helped. Respect!
Sounds like that Artesian Builds is an unscrupulous company that'll hopefully be investigated probably because of a pretentious & unscrupulous leader. Excellent by you, EVGA, & others in turning most of this into lemonade.
Seeing companies treat their own ambassadors like that, I was also an ambassador there, fills me with discourage and worry of what else can we meet along the way, you know?
But im really glad to see she getting the treatment! Making it as a Twitch streamer today is incredibly hard if you want to be successful, and having a company shit on your name in public like that would've made me so angry! Kiapia, im glad you're getting some traction with this even though you never deserved to be treated like that in the first place!
This is really awesome. As a small streamer myself, I appreciate that there are people who are out there looking out for us.
Rihanna getting slapped around would make for some great content.
Jay I just have to say you are an amazing person and we need more people like you! Keep being you man, your killing it!
