xQc retracts apology after recent call-out

The reacts drama has become a contentious topic within the streaming community recently. Felix, known as a react-streamer, has defended his content by stating that the videos he reacts to often help promote the original creators and contribute to their exposure.

YouTuber Neo called Felix out for barely reacting to the video in question. Neo expressed that the Canadian's reaction didn't provide any noticeable benefit in terms of additional viewers for his own content. In response, the Juicer initially apologized:

"I can say all things I was wrong about and all things I was right about...I will take accountability. Part of moving on and part of doing good is taking accountability."

xQc clarified that he typically signals his editors not to upload videos on his YouTube channel if he goes AFK during a reaction. However, in the case of the specific video in question, he noticed that it hadn't actually been uploaded to his channel:

"Chat, did this get re-uploaded? Wait, it didn't. So, what the f**k is the problem? So, what's the problem then? People say, it's when you upload it to the same platform and it's a problem. But if I didn't upload, so what's the problem?"
