YouTuber behind \u201cDoor Stuck\u201d might delete iconic CSGO video due to dispute YouTube: KinetiK001\u201cDoor Stuck\u201d is one of the most iconic memes in all of gaming \u2014 not just CS:GO. However, the original uploader, KinetiK001, might soon delete the iconic YouTube video after a \u201ctroll\u201d copyright claimed it and is now earning the monetization revenue from it. \u201cAh I tried to sneak through the door, man. Can\u2019t make it. This sh*t\u2019s stuck. Out of my way son. Door\u2019s stuck! Door\u2019s stuck! Please, I beg you!\u201d Those are the iconic screams from an ESEA match heard around the world more than 23 million times from \u201cDoor Stuck\u201d. A then 16-year-old KinetiK001, who was trolling his teammate in gaming for rapping loudly, recorded the clip, uploaded it to YouTube in 2007. From then, it slowly gained notoriety. However, the 14-year-old internet meme might soon be deleted due to a copyright dispute. In an upload on July 27, almost 15 years on from its release, KinetiK described a \u201cbig confusion labyrinth of YouTube regulations I\u2019m going through right now\u201d in trying to regain monetization for the video. His channel was originally demonetized a few years ago after using it to upload music for higher sound quality than he could get on Spotify. YouTube demonetized his channel so he then took down the music to try and get that Door Stuck income back. The video made KinetiK approximately 80 cents a day \u2014 at least that\u2019s what he said eight years ago during a Reddit AMA. It doesn\u2019t seem like a lot, but across 14 years that\u2019s about $4,000 if it stayed at that rate. After appealing the demonetization though, he was knocked back: \u201cI got the response back \u2018my channel reuses someone else\u2019s content without providing anything of significant value\u2019. That\u2019s true when I was uploading albums and not monetizing them, but I think that was an automated decision because I only left Door Stuck and got the same reply.\u201d His video appeal was unsuccessful after YouTube said he \u201cdidn\u2019t show enough of my creative process that it was my video\u201d \u2014 bearing in mind it was uploaded in 2007 and all he did \u201cwas start up Fraps and record myself on de_cpl_mill.\u201d There\u2019s a new problem though. Someone else has claimed the copyright for Door Stuck and is now monetizing it even though they didn\u2019t create the video. \u201cI\u2019ve got some copyright troll claimed Door Stuck as their own and monetized it while I\u2019m in this appeals process,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s extremely scummy. They reuploaded it and they\u2019re the ones making money off of it \u2014 or were until I paused it until I appealed it.\u201d KinetiK has called on YouTube to give him back the rights to Door Stuck and monetize the original clip. Of not, he will take the drastic step to delete a bit of internet history with the original video. \u201cIf YouTube doesn\u2019t do the right thing and continues to allow this troll to make money, I\u2019m going to delete Door Stuck. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to let this asshole steal money \u2014 granted I didn\u2019t do a lot of effort but I did upload the video. \u201cI know it\u2019s bad timing with the Friday Night Funkin\u2019 mod, but I might have to delete the video. If I get rejected for my monetization and that person is monetizing, I\u2019m going to delete Door Stuck. I\u2019m sorry it\u2019s come to this, but blame YouTube\u2019s policies.\u201d KinetiK can appeal YouTube\u2019s monetization decision once again on August 23, but if he gets declined, that\u2019ll be the end of the original Door Stuck. It won\u2019t be gone from the internet forever as there\u2019s hundreds of copycats on YouTube, but that first clip will vanish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
