    That tells you a lot about these publications and how much they check their sources...*eyeroll*

    I'm glad Mike Zeroh is making some cash with his videos. The guy means no harm.

    I learned a long time ago not to make fun of people and keep my mouth shut especially if I dont know his/her story.
    Start ridiculing someone and it might blow up in your face.

    Like a poster above mentioned Mike isnt harming anyone...

    He might not be harming anyone... but he's knowingly creating false expectations. The fans of his get pissed off at the creators, because the thing they where expecting didn't show up in the final product. When the creators had no intention of putting it in the film in the first place.

    Was just a play on words! Didn't consider myself making fun of anyone. Don't have a problem with Zeroh but not a fan. Mainly because his tag lines make it sound like he has something verifiable to get clicks but in actuality he just has some speculation he has heard or read somewhere. He just makes videos, the viewer has the choice of whether they want to watch and believe in it.

    And he's making SIGNIFICANT money off of making up total BS.
    --- Double Post Merged, Apr 23, 2019, Original Post Date: Apr 23, 2019 ---
    actually, he does present it as fact. He says in almost every video "a nameless LF employee blah blah blah." He certainly presents his stuff as fact. He never says "wouldn't it be cool if" or "i think they should".

    He also uploads three or four times a day. There is no way legitimate leaks even work like that. Let alone occur that often.

    I think I've only seen one of Zeroh's videos before. There was something about his presentation that I just didn't care for and I never viewed him again. I was thinking about giving him a second chance, but after reading the posts in this thread? Naaaah.

    I don't know that he is malicious but, honestly if you have the inclination, go back and look at some of his videos prior to TLJ and see how far off they are from the finished product. They share almost NO proximity. And I don't say this as a TLJ fan or Rian fan (I'm neither) but Mike wasn't close to the actual story in ANY of his videos that I saw. Statistically speaking he should have gotten some of it right just by chance. And yet he never seems to.

    The fact that anyone still provides anything but zeroh attention to the guy is amazing. Any attention at all only emboldens it further. I was looking forward to reminiscing over some of the truly favorite "bad leaks, speculation and projections" over the years, but instead this thread has become hijacked by that which doesn't even qualify as good "bad" stuff... ;)

    Maybe what he is doing is intentionally making up bogus content. Once you've eliminated the impossible or ridiculous, the only possible remains must be the truth.
    I've never watched his videos, but if you could watch all of his speculation videos about a film, I'm sure one could deduce the actual plot of the film by NOT going off what he said.

    Oh no worries. I understand where you were coming from. Just wanted to explain where my thoughts were coming from.

    Once again the tabloid Dailyexpress gives Zeroh credit who takes credit for a scoop.

    Here's another video that is not Mike Zeroh related. Doesn't get much right either. And to be fair it was all speculative, but, still off.

    Also check out WatchMojo's predictions and theories. Also completely out in left field like all the rest (for the most part)

    Zeroh has almost 5 million views in the last 30 days. 5 million! At a minimum you are talking about 6 grand or so, but probably more along the lines of 10 grand or more in revenue. Even though i know 99.9% of the stuff he says is bantha poodoo I still watch him. He doesn't really come off as a Scum bag or anything. I treat him more as a character. He probably turns off the camera and lights up a big fat joint with all the money he is making and laughs.
