DanTDM finally gives a response to the whole Lunchly controversy.
YouTuber DanTDM, famous for his Minecraft videos, never responded to any of the drama following his Twitter/X post. Now we finally know why...
DanTDM explains why he never responded to KSI
On September 26, DanTDM replied to news of Mr. Beast, Logan Paul and KSI's new food product, Lunchly, and publicly criticized them for "selling stuff for the sake of making money." While MrBeast and Logan Paul never directly addressed this, KSI was seemingly furious.
Over the next weeks, he mentioned DanTDM, reverting the criticism back to him and mocking him and his fans whenever he got the chance. Unfortunately for KSI, the internet was wholly on DanTDM's side with this one.
Most people had grown up watching DanTDM's videos and were quick to defend him, but DanTDM himself kept quiet after his initial post.
What happened to YouTubers man..

I can't not say anything anymore. This is selling stuff for the sake of making money, simple. How does this benefit their fans?
This is selling crap to kids who don't know better than to trust the people who are selling it to them.
Do better. https://t.co/Uzz27bcxTA
On the November 24 episode of Shut Up I'm Talking, a podcast by TommyInnit and JackManifold, DanTDM starred as a guest, and they delved into the topic for a little while.
"With the whole Twitter stuff going on, the aura was quite strong," DanTDM jokingly said, to which TommyInnit asked: "Was it mad?"
"It felt a bit Game of Throne-sy, but the whole Internet had my back. It was a bit ridiculous," DanTDM replied. "I couldn't be bothered to fight. He loves the whole back and forth, that’s what the whole boxing stuff is about. I get it. I understand it, but it was funnier to not feed into it and just watch it happen. It was fun.”
DanTDM even revealed that he had actually gotten private messages from not just KSI, but MrBeast and Logan Paul as well. He didn't make it clear whether he replied to them, but he did say that it "got out of hand" and that he didn't want to put more gas into the fire.
So, TommyInnit joked that it was "the highest aura if I've seen anything."
KSI has also claimed that his whole overreaction and the entire beef was mainly for clicks and views, a way to advertise himself and the product – if not the best method.
After this revelation, it doesn't seem like there will be anything more of this controversy, but then again, DanTDM doesn't seem to care all that much.
What's your opinion on this whole controversy? Are you with DanTDM or KSI on this one? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
