* In "''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' Is Garbage, And Here's Why", Harry discusses the show's [[TakeThatAudience unflattering portrayal of its own fanbase]] as a club of weird conspiracy theorists (and at least one YaoiFangirl, who is ridiculed even by the other members of the club) in the episode "The Empty Hearse." He points out that while a lot of fan theories, including the "secret good fourth episode," were indeed stupid and unrealistic, he can't really blame fans for coming up with them because the show frequently expects its audience to take equally ridiculous plot developments at face value and the showrunners are very skilled at keeping even cynical viewers like Harry on the hook and believing there will be a payoff soon and the show will finally improve. He also argues that the fans who come up with these elaborate theories to fill the gaps in the plot are the truest fans of ''Sherlock'' and harshly criticizes Creator/StevenMoffat for his apparent contempt for them.

** Harris brings up [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] as one of the guys who broke the mold and did his own thing amongst the sea of AVGN clones. Spoony's reputation over the last ten years or so has not been the most sterling and he's been mocked by most who discuss him, so to see Harris not only give him credit for inspiring others but only having positive things to say about the guy was very nice to see.

*** It goes from heartwarming to a mix of heartwarming and sad when one considers the conflict he had in trying to upload the video: after a [[https://www.eff.org/wp/unfiltered-how-youtubes-content-id-discourages-fair-use-and-dictates-what-we-see-online repeat string of copyright claims following his initial piecemeal uploads]] of "''RWBY'' is Disappointing and Here's Why," Harris was forced to re-edit the video's various parts "a million times" with the aid of a lawyer in an attempt to deal with the issue. Not only that, but, [[https://mobile.twitter.com/hbomberguy/status/1337142885813280771?lang=en as he later claimed on his twitter]], "The most shocking thing about Rooster Teeth in particular is they're actively abusing the system. They aggressively block content in order to get people to email them privately and agree to their terms, and if you agree, the claim is downgraded so they MERELY monetize your work." Basically, according to Harris, Rooster Teeth uses the Youtube copyright system to block videos with Content ID matches longer than five seconds until the creators of the videos give Rooster Teeth the entirety of the videos' revenue. Harris goes on to explain in later tweets how utterly disappointing this behavior is from a company that [[{{Hypocrite}} rose to prominence]] by [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlue using portions of others' creative properties to create something new]]; i.e., ''fair use,'' and that doing something like this is far worse in his eyes than making a bad show. It's heartwarming in and of itself that Harris went through ''so much'' to get the video he dedicated to Monty Oum and an honest criticism of Monty's treasured project up, but it's clear that the process of doing so [[BrokenPedestal seriously damaged]] Harris' respect for the current Rooster Teeth as a whole.
