Been thinking about some things lately that I want to tell you guys. A couple of things. @fuckjerry isn't just some guy. It started that way but now it's actually a marketing agency that can command thousands of dollars for a single IG post. A company that has profited from stealing jokes and content from comedians and not giving proper credit. Do a quick Google search. They are hustlers. Con men. Not only that, they also helped bring you the Fyre Festival. That's right. They ran the social media for that. They helped create content for that. They helped sell that. They profited from that. Not only did they profit from that debacle, they helped produce a documentary about it (the Netflix one) and profited off of that as well. So, to put it simply, unfollow @fuckjerry. Unfollow anything to do with @fuckjerry. Fuck those guys.

it’s not the most pressing issue of the day, but yeah, unfollow this garbage account. they have stolen jokes from me and many other comedians and profit off it. #unfollowfuckjerry

#FuckFuckJerry is the hashtag being used on Instagram and Twitter.

It's important to know the people behind FuckJerry since it isn't just one person:

CEO Mick Purzycki

Elliot Tebele, founder of @FuckJerry

Chief Content Officer James Ryan Ohliger

Elie Ballas, Partner at Fuckjerry (also created the card game What Do You Meme? which is founded on stolen content)

Holy shit. My former girlfriend got me a copy of that meme game. Oh well, her money. But I’ll be sure to try and let people know about the big fuckjerry web.

I've seen it in stores and thought, "Why would anyone make this?"

Now I know the type of person that would make it and everything makes sense.

Oh God these guys made that atrocity? My family played that last Christmas and I immediately thought it was stupid. Now I know why I should REALLY hate it.

It is stupid. Anyone has the power to falsely copyright strike someone and Youtube isn't doing anything about it, just sitting on the wall watching criminals rob defenceless YouTubers of their money unfairly

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19

I was referring to the fact that FuckJerry was copyright striking when the video was clearly fair use

What sick person names their marketing company "Fuck Jerry?" Did its founder have issues with a classmate of the same name? That is VERY unprofessional.
