Lessons Not Learned
Added 2024-08-05 11:55:50 +0000 UTCAddressing the DBDR situation and what went wrong
Comments
His last vid brought a lot ppl to this video again. Once again, I was right. What he should've done all along was erasing the traces of his face after he got doxxed, not put his face on his vids. The title of this video holds true even MORE today, tested with time. Lessons not learned.

2025-03-30 20:59:23 +0000 UTCWatching this again because not only is Dbdr allegedly coming back soon, but Wheat Waffles also just pulled down all his face YT videos again. Said it was interfering with his personal life too much (like having the girl he’s dating get harassed by men irl multiple times in one month). Brutal stuff ngl Shit like that kinda makes me scared for myself at times. I’ve posted photos of my full face before to forums, and they’ll always be out there now. Wouldn’t be too hard for a dedicated no-lifer to dig deep and find out my identity from there. But on the other hand, I’m a total nobody with barely any social media presence, and work blue collar gigs for a living, where some of my coworkers have legitimate criminal histories. I’d therefore likely be okay employment and social life wise if someone irl ever found out. But for someone like Wheat with significant online publicity and following, it can definitely draw in a ton of unwanted attention. Stay safe out there buddy boyos

2025-03-27 16:04:27 +0000 UTCI think the consequences and potential consequences you have just written actually shows that I, in fact, was not being over dramatic. Even for your situation. I don't know man, losing potential friends due to the stigma, and now on top of that add the fact that forming new friendships will be more difficult. In the back of your mind, you will be thinking "are they thinking I'm crazy because of the social stigma of BP) . Just like a porn star lol. That's just one aspect. The job aspect is the more important part. I never really considered its(getting doxxed) impact with women, -(maybe cos I am lonely anyway lmfao) But it's the social and job related concern. Because as you know people are prejudiced. Even if you are reasonable, they will jump to conclusions. But your situation is different than mine because you are better looking and you don't have the sunk cost I do. You havent put in years of bsc and msc and get a job. I don't know how much you made off of YT and sales, maybe it's even more than I think, but I still don't think it's gonna be good if the worst case happens and you struggle to find a corp job when this chapter is over for you (it will be over even if not now) - but then again maybe people will forget and you will need to do pull the results off the internet. Did you sue the paper for defamation at least? I think there's a good chance you might win a case. Make them pay and get the bag, would be based. >You seem so worried about getting doxxed, I know you go to great efforts to ensure it will never happen, but what's the main concerns if it does happen? because my sunk cost is much bigger than you, you just lost 1 year of study , dropped out of it quick. Your consequence aint losing a decade of hard work. And you also make much more than me off YT. You can rely on it to make a living, I can not.

2024-12-04 07:09:52 +0000 UTCI think the message of the video is quite dramatic, I realized getting doxxed didn't affect my life that much (at least at the moment). The only impacts it's had so far are: 1) Some girls I've gone out with have fell off after discovering my videos. But a lot of girls don't give a sh*t and agree with the BP anyway. They straight up say looks are number 1 and they're dating me for my looks. It's only been the emotional (and typically left wing) girls who get upset about the BP and block me. But even then quite a few of them I would've had physical involvement with before they found out. It's often said that looks get you in the door, I'd add that is often the bedroom door... Surely you'd know from the BP that personality doesn't really matter, if she likes your looks then she is way more likely to look past controversial opinions. Bottom line: a 6/10 guy with a BP channel has infinite more SMV than a sub5 without a BP channel. 2) Two social circles have ostracised me because one person found out and spread nasty rumours. This is irritating, especially because one time I got kicked out a house party. 3) That stupid article where the journalist accosted my senile father who is oblivious to the internet and manosphere. The journalist put words in his mouth and associated me to heinous things I wasn't even related to. It cost me £10k to get the article legally removed, it's gone now so I'm not really fussed. My parents are completely fine with my channel, they don't agree with a lot of it but they haven't disowned me. I'll still be tucking into turkey at Christmas. 4) Some negative online comments As for the future, maybe these videos will cause job difficulties, but that's not even certain to happen. Futhermore, in the worst-case scenario it does reduce me to minimum-wage work at best. Irrespective I've made so much money from youtube that I'll be just fine working minimum-wage jobs. Once you have enough wealth to own property you are saving at least £15,000 per year. Because rent is £10k and you need to earn £15k (before tax) to get that £10k. Plus I'll have passive income from my channel and the occasional ratings/book people buy. Obviously getting doxxed would've been better to not have happened. But so far it's not impacted me much and it's certainly not the end of the world. You seem so worried about getting doxxed, I know you go to great efforts to ensure it will never happen, but what's the main concerns if it does happen?

2024-12-03 19:57:22 +0000 UTCOpSec is for journalists in countries with suppressed freedom of speech. If you don't want to get clowned and doxxed, you should apply a certain level of OpSec just to be safe. You don't have to be as safe as using a VPN, using TOR, using public wifi, switching routing towers, etc. . The government is not gonna be after you just because you took the Black pill, but if you don't follow the basic Tasks like shutting up when necessary or seperating Brand identity from personal identity, you only got yourself to blame for these things. Honestly, the should be a black pill channel talking abokt the basics of OpSec. As a creator, you are much more likely to be investegated and some people make it way too easy for the given consequences

2024-08-22 09:00:15 +0000 UTCNgl I think when I had my Face Rating service years ago on fiverr, DBDR might have actually got a face rating from me. I remember a chubby ginger man asking for it, I honestly didn't know it was him or not. However seeing how he talked about having red hair in his videos. I thought that was DBDR and maybe it was since he did lost weight in his "update it's over videos". The photos he sent me was when he was at least 30-50 pounds overweight.
Text Place
2024-08-22 08:21:09 +0000 UTCI understand why he'd feel that way tbh. dbdr I mean, you don't wanna meet "a fan" just cos she feels pity. even if you indeed have experienced the similar rejections as him, offering to be his gf when you dont even know him seems a bit fake.
Rehab Room
2024-08-21 05:23:32 +0000 UTCI met a friend through DBDR's server and I told him how I thought about possibly helping DBDR if he was willing to come to my state, but DBDR said himself that he'd still struggle even if he got a gf/help. The friend changed the subject and didn't respond to that. I've come to like this friend a lot, but I don't think he likes me back in that way even though he identifies as an inkwell, he still has standards and I am below him in looks due to being older and out of shape. Even if I got in shape or somehow reversed time, my personality would be a turn off because a normal woman would not be here in the first place. I think he only continues to talk to me out of boredom (he has friends, but he's not able to talk to them daily), and because I have no friends, I continue to talk to him. I'm tempted to stop, but it's hard having no one I can open up to. That's why I sympathize with DBDR, I've experienced a lot of the same feelings of rejection from both men and women.

2024-08-21 05:10:41 +0000 UTCDBDR is the worst example of what rehab warned against ages ago. When you vent to other people constantly all you are doing is making them feel better about themselves. "Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and y̶o̶u̶ w̶e̶e̶p̶ a̶l̶o̶n̶e̶ the world laughs even harder"

2024-08-17 00:42:54 +0000 UTCThanks for this video. I recently subbed to you patreon because you have inspired me. The vid that you said that “the most important things in life aren’t in your control.” This have genuinely helped me mentally and got me to quitting smoking weed. I stopped feeling shame over my hobbies such as yugioh/legos. Anyway, in the case of dbdr he flew to close to sun. I watched dbdr years ago back when he had his old friends and tried to get with a girl in a wheelchair. Dbdr kept doing the cycle of his mom shaming him and him doing hedonistic activities/ simping. Then feeling bad saying he gonna change/ get new job. Then he does it all over again. My hope is one day dbdr can have peace and be able to live his life for himself. Rest in peace brother NEVER be a free agent in life let the bp guide you.

2024-08-16 19:18:56 +0000 UTCThe next best thing to knowing how to hide your identity where you speak or write publicly is to simply not do so publicly at all. I don't have male friends that I trust enough (I haven't done the "trial by pussy" method yet where you observe if your friend's behavior changes to deride you in presence of a mlady, aka how you know which of your friends are normie snakes), so I write in a diary that's paper and paper can't dox me. Even better is to write in a symmetrically encrypted file on your PC or use a cipher like Leonardo Da Vinci hiding his work from the Catholic Church in the 1500s. Doubly true if you're writing something that might enrage some reader who'd want to see what your bloodied body would look like with fifty stab wounds. Blackpill is sanity in an insane world it's crazzzy.

2024-08-11 00:42:32 +0000 UTCKiwifarm's guide on their registration page is the standard for information you should give away (uniquely made email, fake name, fake birthdate ) I'm so paranoid that I reword my sentences for fear of my mannerisms or style of writing being recognized lmao.

2024-08-11 00:35:02 +0000 UTC8:09, I think FACEandLMS had a story like that. I had that same realisation that I didn't have any pictures of myself when I was to try online dating. Taking pictures of oneself is not part of the lifestyle of unattractive men.

2024-08-11 00:27:07 +0000 UTCI hope you stay safe Rehab, like you've been doing so far Your channel and videos are legit lifesaving, so one can only wish you stay with us for the ride for as long as possible

2024-08-09 20:52:16 +0000 UTCI am not gonna call him low IQ (i don't think he is dumb), but yeah that top 1% stuff is questionable even if it's the mensa test.
Rehab Room
2024-08-07 12:43:23 +0000 UTCI think people just couldn't get a hold of his parents before. They are like 70yo boomers they dont have any social media presence very likely
Rehab Room
2024-08-07 12:41:36 +0000 UTCThe jab at WW IQ was golden, the fact that he thinks an IQ test proves his intelligence is a sign of low IQ. Anyone who brags or tries to prove an attribute of theirs is most likely insecure about said attribute. There’s really no way to accurately judge IQ, you just have to look at the decisions they make in life. A high score on Iq test just means you’re good at iq tests. Just like how a college degree just means you passed some classes.

2024-08-06 22:21:57 +0000 UTCI'm curious about Wheat Waffles's case, did he just never tell his parents about his channel? Feel like that article might not have come out if he had explained it to them.

2024-08-05 21:29:02 +0000 UTCHow is it that your relatives don't know what you do? I'm genuinely shocked. That's incredible lol. Also, TheBasedPluto is still going strong.

2024-08-05 20:50:16 +0000 UTCI never really followed WW, because what was he saying that we didn't know already? Then he started claiming that he doesn't follow the BP anymore and he spends gime coping. Making cash was were important for him.

2024-08-05 20:47:18 +0000 UTCMan, you are not kidding... Even I do not take selfies or have pictures of myself, let alone post any pics on the internet. I know it is not my fault but I am so ashamed of my looks/phenotype. It is practically a curse.

2024-08-05 16:34:06 +0000 UTCWW’s case was weird because he actually got doxxed years back in a video posted on YT. He actually ran with it for a bit until the article came out. I know now he only does the Ratings and Looksmaxxing community. Basically Rehab, Thinking Ape and Tails are the biggest BP channels left now.
TSL
2024-08-05 13:36:16 +0000 UTCNo one is completely safe. Patreon data could be leaked, potentially exposing payment information that typically includes real names. That said, I completely agree that people discussing controversial issues in public should protect their anonymity as much as possible.

2024-08-05 13:17:58 +0000 UTCI have an online business. I don't have any social profiles. Even my business partners don't know my name. I don't go to social meetings. I do business through phone calls and texting. Basically, I don't exist. Even my relatives don't know what I do, they think I have a job. If they knew I had money there would be a lot of begging and jealousy that would go not well for me. It’s sad that he terminated his channel. Rehab is the only push for BP. Stay safe Rehab.
