Patrick Smith has amassed an impressive following of over 2,500,000 subscribers, regularly playing and uploading Epic Games\u2019 third person battle royale, as well as Call of Duty\u2019s Zombies mode and Apex Legends. The Canadian often makes videos giving his opinion on in-game skins and guns, and has now shared his opinion on what he considers to be double standards from Fortnite players. On March 14, Smith tweeted what he considers to be an \u201cunpopular opinion\u201d, arguing that it\u2019s hypocritical of Fortnite players to complain about opponents being \u201csweaty\u201d or \u201ctryhards\u201d. Fortnite content creators can often be seen complaining about in-game opponents who they deem to be \u201csweaty\u201d, implying that other players are concentrating to the point of perspiration, and that they should be playing more casually. However, Smith believes it\u2019s hypocritical of players to criticize others for playing seriously and putting considerable effort in, when they are ultimately trying to do the same. He goes on to state: \u201cYou\u2019re saying people shouldn\u2019t try to win, so that I, who is also trying to win, can win\u201d. Unpopular Opinion: complaining about people being &#8216;sweaty&#8217; or &#8216;tryhard&#8217; in Fortnite is completely hypocritical.

Despite his suggestion that this view is an \u201cunpopular opinion\u201d, at the time of writing, his tweet stands at over 2,700 likes, suggesting a lot of people agree with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTuber \u2018TheSmithPlays\u2019 hits out at \u201chypocritical\u201d Fortnite streamers TheSmithPlays\/Youtube\/Fortniteskins.netPopular YouTuber Patrick \u2018TheSmithPlays\u2019 Smith has tweeted his disapproval of what he considers to be hypocrisy in the Fortnite community.
