Rare Has Gone Too Far This Time... (The Sea Of Thieves Iceberg)

A Sea Of Thieves YouTuber who has brought thousands of players to the game, has had his entire channel permanently removed by Rare. Let's dive in and figure out why. 0:00 - Intro 0:49 - The Birth of Partner Privilege (Partners Abusing the Ban Hammer) More videos and information on the subject:    • Streamers Abuse Powers to Ban Players      • Ashbacon Cries Stream Sniping After Sailin...      • Ashbacon is Back at it Again     / ashbacon_situation_is_getting_worse_stream...   This is just the most known example of streamers, specifically SOT partners, abusing their power or influence to get people banned. Just watch any video of sinking streamers in this game and you will see how entitled some of them are. They will look for any excuse for being sunk other than getting outskilled and will take revenge in the only way they know how: getting you banned. Banning people isn't the only power partners have though: https://imgur.com/a/pyGTbK0 SOT Partners have also abused the copyright system to hide evidence of them losing. cough Synicall cough 2:33 - The War On Toxicity (SayHeyRocco Ban Wave) https://kotaku.com/sea-of-thieves-str...

For whatever reason, there’s a common misconception that I got banned for using FOV. Back in 2021, you could edit a config file to increase your FOV from 90 up to 120. That is when I used it. Then they patched this method so I haven’t used it since. Nobody got banned for this method. The only way to get FOV after this was to inject files into your game, which I have never done. So no, I did not get banned for using FOV. The funny thing is, you can just use a wide monitor for more FOV. Also, some people think theb and I got banned for the funny launch exploit. But from the devs themselves, they said this is not bannable: (   • Siren Skull Fixes, Safer Seas and a Lovely...  &t=380) Sea Of Thieves is a sandbox game, and the most fun part of any sandbox is breaking it. Dolphin diving has been a thing since launch. Don't hate the player hate the game. #SeaOfThieves #freetheb
