    @moocow1452, since I know you're also a big fan of Jelle's Marble Runs videos, and this is a great behind-the-scene peak at their channel. :)

      Much appreciated, but now that I know that the league isn't run by actual marbles, I may have learned too much...

      What an incredible video! It's been insane to see the growth of the channel in complexity and scale over the years. Awesome to learn more about the folks behind it.

        Yeah, and I also thought it was a really heartwarming video too, since the whole family is involved, and happily supporting Jelle, his creative drive, and his obsession with marbles. :)

      That’s my B team. Gotta go with Midnight Wisps when they’ve got their heads in enough to qualify, though.

      I'm sorry to rain on your or anyone else's wholesome parade but there are some things the community is aware of that you may wish to be as well. Feel free not to go down this rabbit hole if you'd rather just enjoy wholesome marbles without drama.

      When content creators made videos informing the community about the above issue, they were manually copyright struck on YouTube by JMR. Then anybody who spoke up about how unfair all this was was blocked by their official account on Twitter. This is a channel with leadership that will casually mistreat fans and silence all criticism with an iron fist.

      I love it still, but you should be aware.
