| Karl Jobst | |
| Born | February 7, 1986 |
| Nationality | Australian 
|
| Occupation | Speedrunner, Being extremely cocky, Lying By Omission, and farming content relating to cheaters especially Billy Mitchell |
Karl Jobst is a JewTuber and speedrunner who is infected with USI and best known for creating videos about cheaters in speedrunning and gaming in general. It should come as to no surprise then, that a good majority of his content, most of his focus and attention, would lay on Billy Mitchell, one of the lulziest cheaters in video game history.
That being said, despite the fact that Billy Mitchell is one of the most infamous cheaters and fraudsters, like a fucking dumbass, Karl STILL managed to lose spectacularly in a lawsuit against him, which would then lead to much of his audience and fanbase to turn against him as the truth was exposed that the lawsuit had absolutely NOTHING to do with Karl calling Billy a cheat, but rather that Karl had accused Billy of being responsible for another JewTuber and the Golden iPod winner of 2020, Apollo Legend, offing himself and becoming an hero.
TL;DR - there's usually a VERY GOOD reason why lawyers tell their clients to STFU during a lawsuit. Karl's retardedness and inability to realise why, played a major part in his complete downfall, as we later see.
Origins
Before Karl started as a average JewTuber, sometime around in 2014-2015, he started off his online journey as a pickup artist and would create some of the most extreme to the extreme cringeworthy content relating to quote unquote "overcome social anxiety", accompanied with a book under the name Approach Her Now, which in a nutshell involved picking up women in the most creepiest of ways, and referring to women as "guys".
Viewer discretion is advised for the following cringe.
After the failure of this venture, he would then move on to speedrunning various games, especially Goldeneye 007, which he would start making content about on YouTube in 2017 before quickly turning over to exposing cheaters in speedrunning and gaming in general.
Content on Billy Mitchell and the fuck-up
And that's where we move on to his content on Billy Mitchell, which Karl would make several videos about, milking every single bit of him padded out with fluff. Then, on May 26, 2021, in a video titled The Biggest Conmen In Video Game History Strike Again!, he made what would end up being his biggest fuck-up, when he started glossing over what happened to Apollo Legend, and tried to pin his suicide on Billy Mitchell by falsely claiming that Billy's lawsuits against Apollo directly led to his declining mental health and that he was required to pay Billy a lot of money as part of the settlement.
—The quote in question, later removed from the video | ||
The truth? That was not the case at all, Apollo Legend was NEVER required to pay Billy ANY money in the settlement, which had been clarified by Billy himself in a now-private response video, by one of Apollo's family members, and even by fucking Keemstar of all people.
The allegations would later be removed from the video in June of 2021, and a retraction was later made the following month, though right at the very end of a video that had absolutely nothing to do with Billy Mitchell, hidden away in such a manner that would not be seen by many.
The Lawsuit, and the Lying By Omission
Then, in September of 2021, after many threats from Billy about starting lawsuits against Karl, he would finally start one, which was about the false allegations Karl made about Billy being responsible for Apollo's suicide. Karl, knowing full damn well that his viewers would not support him if they knew the lawsuit was about Apollo Legend, tried to hide it as much as possible and tricked his viewers into thinking the lawsuit was about he calling him a cheat.
He would later fraudulently start a GoFundMe to support his defence fund, again not mentioning ANYWHERE that the lawsuit was about the Apollo Legend allegations, thereby his viewers donated to said GoFundMe fund under completely false pretences. Word on the street is, Notch had also offered to help support him in the lawsuit, but when digging deeper into the details of the lawsuit and finding out that it was not about the cheating allegations at all but was actually about accusing Billy of being responsible for Apollo's suicide, he backed out and stopped supporting him.
This lawsuit would eventually go to trial a full 3 years later in September of 2024 and those closely following the case would know that the lawsuit was all about the Apollo Legend allegations and had nothing to do with cheating, and that the judge would specifically point out that Billy already had a reputation of cheating and lying, but that Karl had recklessly and unfairly damage it even further by pinning Apollo's suicide on Billy. Though, knowing most of his audience that would take every single bit of Karl's words and are too lazy to research the details of the lawsuit, they would not know about the true nature of the lawsuit until the verdict.
In total, Karl had made several videos about Billy, and a huge majority of them did not mention Apollo Legend anywhere, so of course his viewers are not going to get the impression that the lawsuit was about the Apollo Legend allegations. A very crystal clear textbook case of Lying By Omission.
Downfall
After that, came the verdict from the judge proceeding with the lawsuit on April 1, 2025. Right up until the verdict, a lot of his viewers were still under the impression that the lawsuit was all about Karl calling Billy a cheat and had no reason to suspect it was about pinning Apollo's suicide on Billy, and so by extension was expecting a clear slam dunk on Billy. Though, during the verdict, the judge made it a point to point out Karl's cockiness and conduct during the trial, hilariously pointing out that Karl intended to be the knight to slay the Mitchell dragon, but that his lance was not as strong as he believed it to be and broke in the contest. In the end, Billy ended up getting his first ever Epic Win after a slew of losses and draws, winning A$300,000 for non-economic loss and A$50,000 in aggravated damages.
Of course, now that the lawsuit was over and Karl essentially handed the win to Billy by accusing him of causing Apollo Legend's suicide, a lot of his viewers turned against him, finally started seeing him as the fraudster, and rightfully so. At around the same time as the verdict, Karl would release a completely unrelated video about some batteries or some shit, and as expected he took the video down within an hour after the comment section hurt his feelings.
Currently as we speak, Karl is working on an apology video, but knowing how YouTuber apology videos end up being massive train wrecks, this one probably will be too. In the end, the apology video will probably just be shit nobody cares about, and Karl will forever cement his legacy as a deceit and a fraud for lying by omission to his viewers about what his lawsuit was about, and giving Silly Bitchell his first win.
