Sarcastic Videos About Plagiarism[]
In 2017 EeOneGuy, at the time most popular Russian-speaking YouTuber, released the video, called "Dubstep in 1 Minute", that was obvivous ripoff of Lev's format. Bassano didn't care about, but his subscribers sent him a lot of messages about in VK, so he decided to make fun of it and released the video, called "EeOneGuy Stole My Video", where he sarcasticly reacted to that video and after it said, that Ivan proclaimed the war and of his viewers should now spam him with "Yung Lev awaits for apologies" comments. Even though he several times stated, that it was sarcasm many of his subscribers actually came to EeOneGuy videos and spammed him with that comments, this caused hate from EeOneGuy's community, also Ivan himself noticed Lev and proposed him to make a song together. Later Yung Lev made a video about it, where he read the comments of EeOneGuy fans and explained them that they misunderstood him. Later similar thing happened with music YouTuber Paner, who plagiarised "Your Tracks" format. Yung Lev did a similar video about him and told fans to spam his videos with "Yung Lev is better" comments and after they took him seriously again he told them to stop. Now in the videos about plagiarism he is telling viewers not to hate the ones he shows in it. Not so long after both situations Ivan left social networks, so Lev couldn't contact him, and left YouTube, although commets from fake accounts of him still can be seen on Lev's videos.
