ReviewTechUSA in Hot Water For Not Paying His Editor After Firing Him

Full disclosure, I consider Rich from ReviewTechUSA somewhat of a friend... I dunno... Whatever more than an acquaintance is, but man, has it been a rollercoaster of emotions, controversy, and ultimately, reconciliation?

Initially, the situation seemed dire, with accusations flying and community support wavering. 8-Bit Eric did a great job covering the situation.


Rich found himself in hot water over allegations of dishonesty and lack of payments to his editor, leading to a public outcry. This controversy was not just about the specifics of his actions but also about the erosion of trust within the community that once rallied around him during his personal trials.



The heart of the matter escalated when Rich openly criticized Jay on Facebook, calling him a "parasite" and alleging other horrific things. This move shocked many, as it represented a significant departure from the camaraderie and mutual support that typically define the content creator community.

The backlash was swift, with fans and followers expressing disappointment and concern over Rich's actions and the potential fallout. Rich is currently being disliked bombed on his new videos in retaliation.

The narrative took a turn towards redemption when Rich announced that he had a conversation with Jay, and they had managed to square away their differences. This development, shared through the above tweet, takes a step back from the brink and a (possible?) path forward out of the controversy. While the initial actions and words cannot be undone, this gesture of reconciliation suggests a willingness to address mistakes and mend bridges. Let's be real. I've known Rich for a long time now, and he has fucked up royaly. Multiple times. But at the end of the day, he gets it, and is very good at getting back on track. Rich is human, and his faults are somewhat relatable to the average person. Not making excuses, just being real here.

Despite the resolution with Jay, the situation remains a stark reminder of the fragile nature of public perception and the importance of integrity and transparency in the digital age. The incident, while now seemingly in the rearview, has undoubtedly left its mark on Rich's reputation yet again. It's a reminder of how quickly things can unravel and the lasting impact of our actions online.



It also highlights the complex dynamics of social media influence, where public figures are held to account by their audience. Rich's journey through this controversy underscores the need for content creators to navigate their platforms with care, respect, and a deep understanding of the responsibility they hold. The community's response reflects a broader demand for accountability and authenticity in the digital realm. From afar, it almost looks like Rich, who makes hundreds of dollars on everyu stream, cheaped out on paying his editor after firing him, and only made things right when the screws got tightened on him.



As Rich looks to move past this chapter, the lessons learned are invaluable not just for him but for the broader community of content creators and followers alike. The potential for growth and improvement exists, but it requires a commitment to upholding the values and trust that form the foundation of the content creator-audience relationship. This incident, though another terrible look for Rich (at the moment), could ultimately lead to a deeper reflection on the values that should guide our interactions in the vast, interconnected digital landscape.



The saga of Rich and ReviewTechUSA is a reminder of the highs and lows of social media influence. It's a testament to the power of dialogue, the possibility of reconciliation, and the enduring importance of community support. Moving forward, let's hope the lessons learned resonate not just with Rich... but with all who navigate the complex world of online content creation.

I'm afraid Rich from ReviewTechUSA doesn't deserve support to anyone! I stopped watching his videos after that I heard that he fired his editor, plus he decided to change his niche into other non-gaming topics!

I’ve had enough with rich and the roller coaster, when he fired Jay, I unsubbed from both his channels and removed him on twitter. He’s wasted my loyalty too many times.
