sean...you do not get it

[ThisIsPehPeh]

im preety sure He's a drug dealer how does he aforred all that stuff and yes i know youtube pays people

[quimerapt]

i know this video is kinda old but is that why he just moved recently?

[optibotimus]

@quimerapt i doubt that's why he moved recently....i don't know the circumstances of why he moved this time....i don't talk to him anymore

[Usermantoopoofoo1]

huh......this sounds.....interesting.....OK i'm just gonna let ya in on a secret people hate the truth. sad but true fact and yes we all know it so that is why sean dose not listen to you or JTMitchell87 or anybody for that matter, and that was were he has hurt himself by not listening to help, and if you don't listen to anybody who has help your screwed.

[DGLBatman]

just visited sean long's channel he looks pretty obsessed and he looks like he has no life!

i feel sorry for him...

[DGLBatman]

this might be dumb ...well it probaly is but who is sean?

[carnut015]

seanxlong

[DGLBatman]

okay...what has he done?

[carnut015]

I am late to this party but from what I was able to learn after the fact is that Sean lost his job in november 2008 and instead of realizing that toys are only that, toys, he kept on spending money he was not making to cover his purchases. As a result, almost a year ago Sean was in danger of losing his house and car for financial reasons.

[optibotimus]

you got it all essentially right...except for the fact he did lose his apartment...and also his car. He tries and makes his "living" here on youtube. He didn't have a job then and still hasn't had one. He's also been banned THREE times by youtube. Each time, he's come back and gotten another account and became a partner again by BEGGING people to support him again.

[carnut015]

Addiction can really screw up your life no matter what the addiction/overwhelming force is. I myself build Gundam kits but always check my bank balance before I buy a new kit.  I can only hope things turn around for Sean.

[carnut015]

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. One question though - as primarily a watcher and not a poster, how DOES one go about making money from youtube? If the answer is too long and involved or not appropriate for the comments section, feel free to leave a message directly to my youtube account.

[DGLBatman]

why did he get banned though?

[DGLBatman]

wow...thats pretty serious!

[Transformaster217]

well put optibotimus.

p.s. i dont know if you remember, but i want to apologize for what i said on your recon ironhide video.

[TheLuqmanStudios]

Well,I'm still too young about this but I did know Sean Long and I don't know what addiction he has or sometin

[TaylorRV79]

his addiction was buying to much toys and spending all of his money when he did not have enough money to cover his car or home. So he depended on his videos to get him money when he did not have a real job.

[optibotimus]

and look....8 months later....he's still doing the same shit

[TaylorRV79]

It was nice of you to take concern.

[transfan216]

no shit! it says in the video u dumb shit!

[nickyofdadudes]

sean long does drugs?

[optibotimus]

try reading what i wrote....where do you get that seans on drugs?

[Rockertown1]

i agree, evryone subscribe

[mattregner]

are you talking about seanxlong?

[BumblebotPrime]

SEAN'S ON DRUGS???!

[UnicronPlanetEater07]

I am a huge fan of Sean Long...however I completly agree with all comments that say somthing to the extent of "get your shit together" because Youtube isn't a job its a hobby....its a way to express yourself

[youngbubbababy]

i am kinda confused can somebody fill me in

[necessarykarl]

are you talking about sean long

[optibotimus]

i was..yes

[ThePeaughFan]

is sean on drugs?

[optibotimus]

where did you get that from?

[ThePeaughFan]

No , I was asking because you mentioned something about drugs

[optibotimus]

i'm saying....he's straight edge with drugs maybe.....but he's got other addictions

[ThePeaughFan]

oh , i understand now , thanks. By the way, your reviews are awesome despite being long!

[shimlya]

lol whats with the emo music jk he needs to understand the seriousness

[optibotimus]

he doesn't...because he's doing it all over again

[shimlya]

your kidding... ok your right he is sick or addicted to fame or is trying to live his childhood over again Im mean atleast you guys are respectable with your reviews he gets up and does voice over's of toys omg is there anything to be done now??

[J3TxFiiREx1080]

are you talking about SEANxLONG?

[optibotimus]

i was yes

[J3TxFiiREx1080]

oh... ok ..... when i left that comment on your page, i wasnt trying to be a dick, i just realy need you to look at the messages from this account and G3ARZpRo.... G3ARZpRo is my other account.

[optibotimus]

i get so many questions and messages from people...i have no idea what it was....try emailing it to me...and stop being so demanding...it won't get you anywhere...you're lucky i'm even bothering to talk to you now with how rude you're being

[J3TxFiiREx1080]

ya i know..... im very sorry. i didnt realize how many things i sent you. im sorry. no hard feelings? i realy didnt mean to be rude or anything like that... i only want to be friends

[J3TxFiiREx1080]

also, i was wondering if you knew when the fallen toy is going to be released..

thanks

[optibotimus]

he's already out

[J3TxFiiREx1080]

oh... ok thanks.

[bengalcena619]

you mean sean long, damn

[Terminator2292]

who is this sean guy? whats happened to him?

[Tikibot23]

i completely agree with u Shawn should take some time to think about what hes doing well said

[axemgreasefire]

LEAVE SEAN ALONE!! HE'S A HUMAN BEING!! ...Sorry, a Brittney moment seemed approriate, given the posts I read on this vid. (Christ Almighty!!)

Yeeeeah, that's quite a handful of drama ya got there, Pual. Very few things these days can make me cry, but I shead a tear or two while watchin/ reading this vid. Maybe it was the thought of helplessly watching a close friend barreling down a hill of self-destruction while ignoring all outreaches of help,

Or maybe it was just the music.

[axemgreasefire]

In any case, I'm sorry to hear about what's been happing to your [possibly now former] friend. It's not as bad drugs and/or alchohoI, but it sounds pretty effed up. I do hope a resolution can be found.

[Th3N3rdR3view]

everybody send sean a personal message and attach videos like this!!!

[transform321]

optibotimus is right.he should stop and think for a moment.hes letting all the credit and fame take him away him away from his family

[optibotimus]

no one wanted to believe me...no one wants to think sean doesn't have issues. But you're right...his time off lasted a week...if that...and he's back to buying things and doing reviews on youtube to try and get his channel back to what it was and make the money he was making. We knew all this would happen again...he can't follow through with anything...he wants to take the easy way out. He says he's got a part time job now though..so i guess that's a improvement..but he's living with family..

[optibotimus]

So while he should be using this time to save money and such....since he's living probably rent free...he's not doing it obviously by buying toys still. I used to work in the car industry and i know that if his car got repossessed, like he claims, then he'll still end up having to pay for it. Cause what'll happen is a car company will try selling it for whatever they can get. Whatever they get will go towards his contract...but if it's notenough..he's responsible for the remaining amount

[optibotimus]

which is still probably several thousand dollars...and he's not taking that seriously i bet...

[imran3216]

who is sean?

[transform321]

400$!!sean you could have known better

[GODZILLAANDSOUNDWAVE]

Paul has been trying to help Sean this entire time but he has been too damn ignorant to see that youtube is'nt a real job and he needs to get his life in order. Sean is damn lucky he got partnership back or he could be in the streets right now. He does'nt get that toys are toys he can get them back some other time. Reality sucks but it is.... well reality and there in nothing you can do about it. You just have to move on.

[shumworld]

after hearing what you had to say tells me this kid is a absolute moron. if i was in the situation he's in i would of focus'd my time on doing what you said. with all money he spent on toys could of supported him maybe until September.

but now that he dung his own grave, i wish no ill-will towards him. i hope he gets his feet on track. the i don't think he should youtube "celebrity status" ever again.

[tenaciousdema1]

OMFG how can u say this? jk i came back to all these "sean" vids...UGH lol nice music sinc up! I got goosebumps just watching and listening....u sly....botimus... just wait for my finaly video....o yes....o yes..u wait

[bleedhappy]

And I wasn't ignoring that, I just hadn't finshed typing my comment yet lol.

[bleedhappy]

And by the making peace thing I meant how he made that video saying that he wanted to find a solution to the problem between you and him after your leaving video. I don't know if that came before of after the $400 thing.

[optibotimus]

In that same video...he also said he'll stop buying early release figures...he'd rather other people do them...but look..he's still doing them. Yet another lie

[bleedhappy]

And I am not condoning or defending Sean's behavior by any means. But I really don't think you have the right to say some of things you said on this video (excuse me, what you typed).

[optibotimus]

And if have no right saying these things...i seriously hope you go to everyone else that posted videos about sean begging for money. Cause they said it wayyy before i did. You're a narrow minded fool if you think otherwise. Plenty of people..jtmitchell, kalelprime, peaugh....to name a few all voiced how pathetic sean is. Go bother them...i'm done with you

[bleedhappy]

So yeah go ahead and get offended and rate this comment down or spam it or whatever you like, but just think about that.

Good luck Sean.

[optibotimus]

I'm not offended and i don't allow comment voting on my page so that everyones voice can be heard. I don't delete them like sean does. I'm not offended that you have your own opinions...but your opinions are far from factual

[bleedhappy]

So you had to go and make whiny little emo boy videos saying that you are going to leave and complaining that no one will watch your videos when somebody else has this cool new toy, yet you go out and do the same thing yourself. You only care about your youtube cred. Now youre probably like yay Sean is gone, now more people will watch my videos! You and Sean aren't that different are you? Except that he's a nicer person who doesn't whine as much.

[optibotimus]

My video was actually very accurate. Sean has issues he had to deal with. I talked about them then and they blew up again very recently. Look at the reactions from everyone with half a brain. They disliked his begging for help just like i did. This video almost didnt' get made because of morons like you. That video you're complaining about was directed at people like you. The fanboys that are too ignorant to see the truth

[optibotimus]

and sean and i are vastly different. I'm a very nice person to the people i consider my friends

[bleedhappy]

Haha and what truth is that exactly? That people won't go and watch videos about earlier figures when there are stolen new exclusive figure reviews out there? I am one who enjoys both new reviews and old, but probably old figure reviews even more. Yes I see what you were saying but what irritated me is that you were saying you were going to leave and you were condemning the people who had bought these figures and then several weeks later you came back with exclusive reviews of your own.

[optibotimus]

The truth that sean is a liar and a manipulator. You conveniently ignore the fact i mention sean ripped me off of almost 400 bucks. Would you still consider a guy like that your friend if it happened to you? What irritates me about people like you is you ignore things and focus on others that are irrelevent. I never said i was leaving for good. I came back when it was entertaining for me again. I also never once said they had to stop doing the reviews..i just disliked the fanboys

[transform321]

you are very right

[bleedhappy]

Optibotimus, you are so full of it. I dont think you have any room to talk. You werent his friend, you were just jealous of him. You complained about Seans videos on politics and him getting toys early yet you are doing the same thing (getting toys before they are released I mean). And I dont recall him ever trying to attack you. In fact I remember that he was the one who was always trying to make peace with you it seemed.

[optibotimus]

I'm full of it? Ok, lets look at every single point you tried making. Sean and i were very good friends till he ripped me off of about 400 dollars. Did you know that aspect of your great sean long? Seans videos on politics i never complained about. I simply said they weren't appropriate. And they weren't by a lot of peoples standards. Make peace with me? He could if he paid me what he owes me.

[bleedhappy]

Well, there is no reason that people should not be able to voice their opinions about politics, on youtube or otherwise, as long as they do it in a civil manner. And I may be ignorant of the $400 thing, if that is true, but you never mentioned that before in any video and now all of the sudden you are bringing it up?

[optibotimus]

Voicing their opinions and going out and asking people who their voting for is different. Sean did it in a very tasteless manner. He even thought so as he took the video down after a while. You aren't in the "know".....that's why you don't know about the money. All my personal friends and friends on youtube know it. It's not a new thing. I've mentioned it many times.

[bleedhappy]

And yet you never made a video about this? Don't you think this would be more important to mention than some video asking people who they are voting for or some exclusive reviews?

[optibotimus]

i've always said that i'll tell anyone who asks to know the story...but i don't mention it cause it's no ones business really but sean and mine

[optibotimus]

My, personal dislike stems from that. It's irrelevent to the self destructive actions sean does. Everything else he does effects people here on youtube...which is why that stuff is brought up. My personal reasons aren't brought up because they're between him and i, as i already said

[gonaaads]

I laughed

[swinchester5]

he needs to do something about it

[Megatron1245]

What happen to sean?

[swinchester5]

hes loosing his car, doesnt have a job, and hes falling back on youtube, which, isnt gonna work.

[ShiyojinRommyu]

After your first video, detailing your worry and disgust with Sean's way of doing things, and the way he's digging himself a deeper hole over time, I've stopped watching his videos out of principle. I, too, do not wish to support a man's downfall into poverty and madness. I believe that he is a good man, but is a victim of his own obsession, and I will not help support that obsession.

[terraeon]

Thank you for saying it like it is dude you rock

[longrack]

tis sad but true

[sly42cooperbeast]

I miss when Sean had $. Also, you may think this is weird, but last night I had a dream that I was living in an apartment, along with some people having a party, and sean was there, and had no home. dreams are so wierd!!!

[bulldog1010123]

dude well its his problem and i think u this should be the last u say becuase it ur problem and...

"you told him so..."

[NOAHmacc]

hey i completely agree with everything you said or typed also i cant tell you how sorry i am for getting pissed and really mad about the i thought you didnt do exclusive reviews seriously i am sorry

very very sorry

[darkwulf147]

I have to say, as tactless and insensitive as I thought your video was last year, they seem very apropos now. In less than a year's time Sean has gone full circle and seems to have dug himself into an even bigger hole (internet begging...yuck).

[axelnightmare]

I'm a child and I've still understood this from the beginning. I stopped spending money to hang out with friends and get to what's real. I also hoarde money from holidays ( my only source of income ) and buy stuff I NEED not want.

[sly42cooperbeast]

Your lucky, no one gives me money my parents just buy all my stuff, and most of the times they dont

[mark0wen]

i think sean needs this to happen to understand that life is more than youtube he blew his money on toys at the end of the day and also cant he just sell his transforners on ebay or something

[bulldog1010123]

he is actually selling some stuff

[thedeicide]

Paul I think it's hopeless.

Doesn't matter how many people are trying to help them.

I think it's nice of you to trying to help him.

It shows your big heart.

But you'll end up with more pain.

It's his problem don't make it yours.

[optibotimus]

trust me my friend...it isn't my problem...i'm just trying to say nicely "i told you so" hahaha no one listens to me :(

[transfan1988]

Does this mean I have to watch that weird vid of Long with no hair?

Damn it!

[phiprimetime]

true stuff

[newnanou]

very well said

[legoman1712]

or in short, not my fuckin fault!

[megazt6]

sean needs to take a year break off of youtube and he needs to get his life straight he needs to take classes to help him with this toy and youtube adiction

[Sportimus]

Sean needs a fucking building to fall on his head in order to "get it", and even then it's a maybe. I'm SICK of people making videos trying to help this guy. You know what Sean, get your SHIT TOGETHER! GEt a REAL FUCKING JOB and STICK WITH IT until you get a BETTER REAL JOB!!! YouTube is NOT a real job! How fucking hard is that to understand? Forget YouTube and get your LIFE STRAIGHTENED OUT for YOUR SAKE! After that, THEN come back to Youtube, and NO EXCUSES! Get it now, SEAN?

[kam0120]

After watching this, it must have taken alot for you to do it. I hope Sean realizes how good a friend you really are. To quote tformer0607 " I wish I had a friend like you."

[optibotimus]

yes

[Cybertronnews]

Really well said, and completely agree. Just hope everything works out eventually...

[Barricade64]

I agree completely with you Paul. After reassesing the situation I realized I was a bit too leaniant on this matter at first and thought he should try and balance life with YouTube, but he really does need a complete break from YouTube if not the entire internet to straighten his life out.

[tformer0607]

optibotimus I just wanted to say sorry for bashing you you are a true friend and I agree with you 100% on this. I only wish I had a friend like you. again my humblest apoligiese for acting like a douch to you

[Nightslash12345]

well said

[Optimus987654321]

Sean does drugs????

[UltraPrimus95]

no he dosent hes is addicted to buying toys all the time

[Optimus987654321]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[axelnightmare]

Way to be blunt, yet still true.

[UltraPrimus95]

you tell it how it is seanxlong needs to get that youtube cant always be there for him and his home and car

[GundamMeister24]

wow you done something brave, i hope Sean gets his act straightend out

[tfgalaxy]

2 words. well said

[vonrojas]

Star Wars Music would have helped.

I could not agree more. And I was one of few who seen where you where coming from last time around.

I love the way everyone is being all nicey nicey, Guy needs to wake the hell up!!

[optibotimus]

well yea the star wars music woulda worked...but i wanted emo music lol

[xboxbox1]

LOL emo music that isnt emo music is it? o.o

[optibotimus]

evanescence is emo haha

[xboxbox1]

well then -.- looks like im part emo LOL i kinda

liked that song

[onslaught314]

people were seriously bashing you?

seriously, sean needs to sort out his priorities

[optibotimus]

you have no idea how much people hated on me for the previous stuff

[xboxbox1]

same here.....

[dendariiprime]

i'm floored, you had the strength to come back and say what needs to be said!!! you are TRULY one of his truest friends. god bless you!!!

[optibotimus]

i almost didn't...trust me...i wouldn't have but he posted that second video and i couldn't hold it in anymore...thank you

[xboxbox1]

=s all we can do is wish him luck nothing we really can do man. and your a good friend well idk about friend im just a fan of yours =) but o well lol you know what i mean

[cortes2k]

ups!

[JTMitchell87]

I hope he finally gets his shit together.

We know he won't, but it's nice to hope.

[TGMfilms]

I agree

[CybertronNews22]

Very well said, Paul. He really does need to give up on a YouTube partnership. It's not coming back, and if it did, the checks wouldn't be enough to keep him off the streets. I wish he would just look for a job around the area. I'm sure there is. And I know, even with the bad economy, there are small places Sean could get one and start back up his life again.
