1st rule of YouTube: make money.
2nd rule of YouTube: don't break the law
Not a rule of YouTube: be nice
Not a rule of YouTube: don't lie

Somerton followed rule 1, HBomberGuy also followed rule 2 and... hopefully didn't lie?

As for the content warning section, the simple rule is: don't base your world on lies upon lies, and it won't come crashing down when someone exposes them.
