GenerikB is a Minecraft YouTuber. He founded Hermitcraft in April 2012[1] but left the server in April 2013.[2] He was part of Mindcrack from August 2012[3] until April 2015.[4]
Controversies
Mindcrack founder Guude accused GenerikB of breaking the law by taking sponsorships for YouTube videos without disclosing it to viewers.[5] In 2020, GenerikB did not deny taking sponsorships but claimed to have disclosed them once it became law to do so.[6] The sponsored videos were posted to YouTube in 2014.[7] In 2014, the owner of Minebrawl talked about paying the B-Team (GenerikB and BDoubleO) $2100 per episode and disregarded a comment about the lack of disclosure by the YouTubers being against FCC regulations.[8]
Former fans have expressed disappointment upon learning about this situation.[9] Furthermore, fans have also said that it explains a lot about Mindcrack's history, especially in regards to the trademarking in 2015 ("Mindcrack is changing") that lead to GenerikB and Mindcrack officially separating.[10]
In 2021, around the start of Hermitcraft Season 8, GenerikB made some Tweets and a stream that indicated his return to the Hermitcraft server. It was made clear by several members of Hermitcraft that he was not part of the server and had not been invited back. The footage from the stream had been from a fake Hermitcraft server. It is not clear what GenerikB's intention was in faking his return to the server.[11] Hermitcraft fans expressed disappointment about GenerikB's actions.
