The UK content creator group Sidemen has come under fire from fans of the 18-year-old YouTuber, IShowSpeed. While the two entities have a great bond together, with a healthy rivalry between Speed and KSI, the fans are upset. Although the official Sidemen X account has given the reasons why, fans are still a bit salty.
And they are saltier towards YouTube for the delay. This whole incident began around the Sidemen Charity Match 2023 when IShowSpeed and Sidemen decided to collaborate. The fruition of that collaboration, however, is taking a bit longer to reach the masses.

YouTube is most def on the side of getting videos up onto the home pages and sub boxes of all your fans!
