- The Rise and Fall of the QSMP. Quackity's big project QSMP had a meteoric rise to success but with people like Forever, Wilbur Soot and the admin situation all happening within a very short time frame of eachother it was hard to keep the ship afloat.

#QSMP #Quackity #dsmp - Hry
Some small things that I think are worth adding into this: First, while Quackity and Dream's planned servers seemed similar when they were announced, things got really rabid between the fanbases when they both demo'd live translation within a day of each other. The timing was close enough to make it seem like one of them had gained leaked info from the other in order to steal the idea... but we don't know which! Second, the identity of the "real" head of the QSMP remains a closely guarded secret, which added a lot of concern when blame for all administrative issues were heaped on them and they were fired... to be replaced by equally secretive new management. For all we know, there may have never been any changes in leadership at all. And lastly, one of the huge hardships faced by the QSMP staff was that they were repeatedly ghosted by management. This was most notable during several months when the eggs disappeared from the server without their actors knowing if they would ever return, and in the last few months of the project when most of the staff were left uncontacted about whether they'd ever be paid or allowed to continue working with the QSMP.
I said before on reddit coming from a dream fan i think the main reason the qsmp failed is cause quackity decided to make it into a company/brand unlike the dsmp which was just youtubers working since it was made into a company quackity had to deal with workers problems without a good hr and no previous experience in managing something
That’s actually a really good point never even thought about it that way but you’re 100% right the DSMP was just the creators goofin and it was awesome
the algorithm is bout to bless this video
🤞
@@DeadPixelTwo called it
You are good luck
94th subscribers remember meeeeeee
i really appreciate that the tone of this video is calm and informative rather than dramatic/inflammatory. you conveyed a lot of the complicated issues (especially with the admin/employee struggles) in way that's easy to digest. it's a solid summary of the events of the past year. despite the bad things that happened along the way, so much love was put into the qsmp and i'm really going to miss it. i hope lots of people get this video recommended to them!
Thank you! 🫡
It’s insane that people in the comments are blaming a whistleblower for bringing to light the illegal activity happening within the company.
I don’t think they are blaming her. I think they are saying it’s weird that she told the streamers not to bring it up for her to then do it on twitter
@@DeadPixelTwo Probably out of fear of retaliation, and when the retaliation happened anyway they had no reason to stay quiet and changed their mind about speaking out
It's not weird if thought about from her perspective
Also months ago when Lea came out about everything she said she didn't know the CCs were planning on talking to Quackity and thought they were pretending nothing was wrong so honestly on the CCs for not keeping her informed about their actions either
@@DeadPixelTwo restless thought summed everything up pretty well but I would also like to point out that AyePierre has an incentive to protect the company and the project as his sponsorships relied on him playing on that server. That being said, it doesn’t change what Quackity Studios did and you as company don’t get to “handle things in private” when you are in violation of French labor laws and California labor laws. Especially since Quackity has a history of shady business practices.
I’ve seen someone blame the French union as well. Don’t get why they’re trying to defend someone who obviously isn’t a good boss but to each their own I guess.
Loved it and hated it.
Glad it happened
Sad it ended
Thank you for all the happiness this server has gave me
Such a good concept, I hope we get something like this again soon but that actually works out
I didn't even know that Quackity made an SMP 💀
I feel like it still worked for the most part, like I see many creators from qsmp from different cultural backgrounds still stream and make videos together and most of them are still friends (I would think)
The fact this only has 600 views is crazy. I assumed it had half a million before I actually checked the numbers. You're a really talented video editor and story teller, keep it up!!
Thank you! 🙏
I loved to watch Quackity. So sad it all stopped.
I loved Qsmp and I’m sad it ended, but I do think there’s a super slim chance it comes back. All the official Qsmp Twitter accounts are white, and say “soon.” And there was a 2 in the end scene thing. But even if it’s not, I never would have heard of Etoiles the goat without Qsmp so I don’t think it was a complete failure.
True
The idea of q smp is honestly great and the only big issue was how it was managed, another smp like it that maybe translates every language in the world could be the next big smp
never heard about the forever stuff since i stopped watching qsmp in late 2023, thanks for this
Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
clicked on this video and watched the whole thing before realizing how small of a creator you are. this video is really well produced and is honestly has a pretty refreshing formula for videos like these. you definitely deserve more attention for this.
Appreciate it! 🙏
man i loved the qsmp and im so sad it ended :( all the creators i watched stopped playing very often like jaiden and slimecicle and i was very sad when the eggs left
I left the qsmp livestreamers back in October cause It started to be too much to keep up with, I didn't think it'd go downhill this way tho.
Yea there was so much happening, If i missed a few days I had to go watch recaps or something to catch up to know what was going on
this was extremely informative, I haven't watched minecraft content for a few months now and was shocked and confused when I came back and saw many things on fire
thanks again!
Thanks for checking it out!
while it was running, qsmp was always a part of my days. I loved the streams and the events and I loved the languages and how fun they were, i loved the interactions. Sometimes it got a little too much with the events (i didn't really manage to keep up) and when it finally died down i was sad, but let's be honest, no server could have survived those allegations.
Agreed
I was extremely sad when i saw all the news about the qsmp and when it ended.
I just hope that Quackity will be able to gain the people's trust again and maybe make some more projects in the future.
Yea it was unfortunate for sure
god seeing the forever defenders around really bothered me.
so glad you never brought up cellbit having to out himself around that time, it was bound to die.
so glad it happened tho, love seeing the chaotic energy the bolas crew has in other games, learning about etoilles and cellbit, the eggs and seeing their admins interact now
great vid, keep up the good work dude
Honestly a well made video. Nice job summarizing the whole QSMP drama
Thank you!
Do you think it could have survived if Quackity kept it running?
Idk if it was ever fixable considering the huge communication issues and stuff, but if they had more clearly taken a break and talked to the egg admins about what they thought needed to be changed (the admins were a large part of why people were watching) and THEN slowly started back up it might have been able to regain momentum and survive
this isn’t the first time he’s exploited workers, so honestly no. i’m gonna rant here a bit but i saw 3 instances on twitter during the beginning of the qsmp about how quackity had exploited workers in the past. from what i remember a few of his editors / volunteers / builders for his “discord’s got talent” series expressed scarily similar work complaints to the qsmp workers, i also saw one of his “planet duck” workers (his dsmp lore merch company) come forward when the qsmp admins did saying they didn’t have a great time with him either in terms of communication and there’s A LOT of info and proof out there about how the company that produces his planet duck merch (fivehills) likely use slave labour to create the products and i believe he is very closely related to this company / planet duck is the only company that’s listed to be produced by fivehills or something but i might be misremembering that so don’t quote me on it
i just don’t think Quackity should run a company of any kind / have any workers if this is seemingly a reoccurring issue for YEARS. you can find proof and statements of the stuff i’ve talked about with some searching on twitter but it sucks seeing people excuse what happened with the qsmp workers as quackity “not knowing” when there’s multiple instances of this happening with him? i used to love quackity but ever since he brushed off so much doxxing / stalking / other crimes caused by his fans and general hate crimes at the start of this servers life i haven’t been able to watch him without feeling super uncomfortable. i love how unbiased you were with this video, it’s rare to see people actually defend / sympathise dream as well in this situation
Bro is gonna be the NEXT commentary youtuber fr

I really love QSMP, I'm sad it ended but I'm happy it happened, I thought it was gonna go far, It had so much potential.
Same
I loved the QSMP.....however Q's community and his lack of ANY response at the beginning to Dream really left a bad taste in my mouth. Badboyhalo really kept it alive for months at the end and I hope they can solve the labor issues and bring it back for those who want to participate. There were so many amazing moments and interactions that would never have occurred without this server
this video is actually really well made
Thank you! 🙏
this is so well-produced!! you are very underrated
Thank you!
100 subs???? holy shit man you deserve a lot more than that. great vid!
Actually, it was not surprising they both had the idea at the same time. Both participated in SquidCraft 2 which brought together communities from different parts of the world. Language communication was brought to the forefront by Dream and Quackity bc of this event. Dream's best friend won the event and Quackity was friends with most creators there and Spanish and English. So it was not surprising both came up with similar ideas. Dream leaked snippets for months too.
I did not notice this channel had only 79 subs, you are so underrated! This was such a great video!
Thank you! 🫡
Finally! Someone that talked about Dream being threatened by Quackity’s fans! So many of these videos I feel either completely disregard what happened with the Twitter showdown and doxxings when the smps launched and when they do mention it they never go into detail or paint Dream in a negative light (whether intentional or not). It’s often not mentioned however that not only was Dream’s life threatened, but many fans of Dream were being threatened and harassed too, with one story of a mod for the USMP updates account getting stalked and their power line being cut by said stalker (this is verbatim from what I remember from the thread, if anyone knows the story better than me please say!), and it was generally a horrible time for the fans after that, with periods where we’d hunker down our accounts and hope it blows over. Generally a scary time for something as dumb and inconsequential as a Minecraft server, and it still amazes me how parasocial many Quackity fans (and quite a few other sub twts) were at the time..
Yea it definitely got crazy
saw this on my recommended and watched the video
very underrated my guy
here's a sub, comment, and like
Thank you for the support 🫡
You are so underrated the video was amazing
Thank you so much!
First time hearing about quackity in ages, also ur underrated
Thank you 🫡
The quality of this video is so good! I didn’t bother checking the views, subscribers, or likes when I was watching the video so I thought you were a big time content creator only to find out you are not. Great work! Hopefully the algorithm gets to this video
Thank you so much! 🙏
Actually nice and informative video. I was wondering where that server ended up at but had no desire to do a deep dive on the internet myself
Banger video dawg
Btw I liked this video a lot! Really good quality and a lot of info. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! I watched a lot too, definitely sad
Wow another great youtuber commentary!
I try
i was a fan of the dreamsmp, but never paid attention to much mcyt content after that; i had no idea the qsmp was so much more complex than just content creators playing on a minecraft server. while the ideas for the server seemed exciting and interesting, i think a big reason it didn’t last long is because it turned into a corporation/administration which can fall apart really quickly if not managed properly as shown with the qsmp. not to compare the servers as i never watched the qsmp, but i think a big reason the dsmp lasted so long and was successful was because it was just content creators playing minecraft and adding lore every now and then which held a lot of charm for its viewers. of course, it had its downfall as well and fell apart just as the qsmp did.
i think the vision was good, the multilingual component especially; but i unfortunately think quackity bit more than he could chew with making such strict storyline rules and gameplay which is again, a reason why the dsmp also fell. history seems to repeat itself sometimes!
great video btw! was very informative for someone who never really got into the qsmp themselves :)
The fact you only have 75 subscribers is INSANE def gonna watch ur other vids and subscribe
I bet you’ll get really big in a few months because your videos are too well made to not go viral !!!
Appreciate it! 🫡

Idk if you mentioned it at the end, but did the French workers ever ended up getting paid?
I don’t believe so
It fell already? Damn.
Yep it’s over it seems like
That’s what happens when you break multiple laws and refuse to cooperate.
The eye island bit was really the nail in the coffin wasn't it?
Nothing really happened story wise and I feel like they tried to force a Narrative without actually following threw on the narrative.
Narrative? Qsmp wasn't really stagged but the island lore did make sense. Its just that the admins forgot about it after the prison event
@@TVXIC even before then they never told us why the nether was banned. Also eggs never hatching was lame. And if an egg died the islanders would just get a new one so it never really felt like there was any risk to anything.
And when there was engaging story and Etwal faced the code monsters the admins cheated to win. There was no story just wasted time.
@@lockskelington314 yeah beacuse eitole wasn't meant to win that battle the *narrative was that codes are un defeatable* also eitole's sheild and sword was also too op which was cheating (he got it un ligit by the admins). The nether was banned by the federation beacuse the islanders could escape but they *have been in the nether for about 4 times* also in forever's lore streams. It seems like evil cucuroucho lived in a nether and that would explain the black concrete which was in the neather. The eggs weren't meant to hatch it was suppose to be a 2 week demo but the islanders already loved them and they thought it was okay. If you watched the finale stream there cucuroucho told them that the eggs were made by the federation to *slay* (🗡) the islanders and wdym there wasn't a risk all the eggs had its own personality and if they died you couldn't see them again. Exept that day of the dead event which was also meant to honor the eggs and *technoblade* :)
damnnnn
Ah, no sabía que el servidor había caído antes. Estuve siguiendo la historia desde un principio pero como también soy fan de Dream, el acoso a nuestra comunidad por parte de los fans del qsmp fue tan feo que tuve que borrar mi Twitter y hacer uno nuevo bloqueando la palabra qsmp. No sabía que había tenido un final tan... polémico. No sé qué pensar.

good video
Thank you! 🫡
bro,its simply just getting boring and less excited over time,its just not that fun of a project for me in the end
Honestly i was just there for the content creators. In my opinion, i dont think that the management had any right to make calls as big as they did, and most of the authority figures should have gone to Quackity for approval. Now this does not disclose what happened under quackity, and either way the minecraft community is very VERY toxic, people just need to stop taking everything so literally. These are real people, and they have lives outside of these characters you see them play. I see this a lot with streamers like Jschlatt and such, where people cant find the line between creators and real people, and they end up canceled for things that they did as a character or roleplay. Its sadness me so much to see how bad the community really is, and i do know that there are plently of people that are awesomr and there are a lot of very nice people in our community, but in general its a lot of old dream smp stabs, and a lot of quackity stans that are very toxic. I used to watch dream a lot more but ive just distanced myself from that side of minecraft because of how toxic all the people are. They say stuff like "if youre a quackity stan then dni" or the oposing aide does the same, like be for real, they are both human trying to do what they like. I dont care too much but all i know is that the silly minecraft server really did bring so many people together from so many different languages, and as connor said "quackity did what nost presidents couldnt" and thats bringing thise people together.
Quackity Stans, and just stans in general, are horrible. If you want a specific situation, Quackity Stans harassed dream and his family in multiple different ways like straight up harassment, stalking, swatting, sending death threats to them, putting trackers on their cars, threatening to hire an assassin to assassinate dream, attempting to call and harass dream’s grandmother, and sending r@pe threats to dream’s underaged sister. I get why people wouldn’t want to interact with Stans of any fandom.

I never enjoyed the concept. The idea was great, but the cast was erhm... I dunno. Wanted to watch it for Philza, but I couldn't do it. I feel SMPs only work if it's an organic group of friends. Or slowly introducing a new person one by one.
nope
The most recent update is that Aypierre, one of the French CC's, confirmed how Lea and part of the administration convince him to don't speak with Quackity about the situation sooner related to the administration, and when there was about to had a reunion to tell Quackity about the situation and solutions to the problem, Lea posted all the situation public online ONE. HOUR. before the reunion begin. Confirming that Quackity knew about the situation at the same time as everyone else. Revealing the true nature of Lea and those admins that stop Aypierre... but is already very late for that, the QSMP is gone, but aleast the karma get back at her and those how take advantage of the situation to became popular. Is truly a pain that the QSMP, a dreamed project that Alex had in minds for years, to join communities around the world, ended up mainly, because of her. The situation was able to be solved in private, but by making it online, she condemn the QSMP to slowly finish.
It’s a shame it went down like that for sure. It makes it seem like they just wanted their 15 minutes of fame for causing the downfall
@DeadPixelTwo exactly, it just feels so unfair that, because of her, Quackity forced himself outside of his own Studio and his dreamed project, she didn't even care about the situation of the employees in the first place. And all this, meanwhile, he was distraught and barely able to process something with the accusations of Wilbur, one of his best friends since years, been a abuser (one day before Lea put all the things into the public).... had to feel so painful.
I just hope Quackity get able to come back stronger after all this, just feel very worried about how all this can affect him mentally, and regardless of how he can trust now. And the fear he can have now because of the doxxing... just hope the best for him.
Can anyone provide this aypierre clip here in the replys?
@niftylittlename it wasn't a clip. It was a tweet that he posted in his Twitter account. Don't mention Lea specifically, but it is easy to get that he was talking about her because of "made public the situation." Lea been the only one that did it. Hope just the karma hit her stronger.
I don't get wishing bad on someone when she just spilled what was happening behind the scenes but maybe it's just me and not being american lol

I dont remember no fall
*I subscribed to (twitch,money) the creators only beacuse of qsmp. Watcing theyre streams every night at 3am while laughing and crying at the same time was the best. It had a good purpose a good storyline and lore, Honestly theres a chance of it coming back beacuse i mean why would quackity leave it when it was gonna shutdown* but its very unlikely. The "last" event revealed almost everything about the lore and now if they do comeback. Its not gonna be fun if they make them act like nothing has happend at all or like it was all a dream. But lea definitely was kinda a snake im glad that Jaybioo's came and confronted her about this and so did quackity. Throwing shade at them and basically saying some of the admins lied and wanted to destroy the project which was true beacuse jay provided screenshots of they're dms
bro should’ve just joined lifesteal or hermitcraft bro fell off
Quackity?
@@DeadPixelTwo yeah
That would have been a wild crossover lol
Hermitcraft continues to do well because it generally keeps toxicity out.
I love hermitcraft been watching it since like season 5 I think, definitely a lot less drama in that community
