Secrets Unveiled: The Dark Side of Lifesteal SMP

In recent years the LIF steal s SMP has captivated millions of people worldwide with many members of the server going from being practically nobody’s to hundreds of thousands of subscribers with the server becoming so influential however many people have tried to capitalize off its success in various different ways some simply making

Content off It While others take a more scummy approach by making pay to win Minecraft servers using its Concepts anything from selling overpowered items to promoting gambling to young kids through an in-game crate system it’s clear that these servers will do anything to make a quick Buck off their

Impressionable player Base today I’m going to embark on the dark business of fake Lifest steal smps going into the history of the genre and showing off how these servers use scummy methods to generate so much money by the way make sure to subscribe with post notifications for more Minecraft

Documentaries as it would help me out a lot in my fight to surpass Taco Bell and subscri subscribers anyways let’s get on with the video when life steal began to explode in late 2021 server developers knew that this was an opportunity to make a bunch of money off of scamming kids naturally

Whenever a new Creator SMP emerges tons of people want to join however the chances of a normal player actually joining is relatively small as the only way people can really get invited to these smps are if they’re established creators with tons of subscribers after making this realization most players

Decide to go to the next best thing public servers public Minecraft servers have been out for years and they’re a really good way for people to play with their friends online for free they also allow players to experience Minecraft with the fun twists from their favorite private servers however they also became

A good way for servers to make tons of money they would add purchasable items that would give a massive competitive advantage to people that bought them anything from op gear that exceeded the max enchance to damage multipliers these server owners would do anything to make a quick Buck Off Their audience

According to Cambridge Dictionary a Pay to Win server is defined as the practice of paying to get weapons abilities Etc that give you an advantage over other players who do not spend money the Minecraft toos even allows servers to sell op items on their servers one thing

Is that all items sold need to be achievable to a free-to-play player except if they’re selling Cosmetics which doesn’t really matter any overpowered item that can only be unlocked by spending money is completely prohibited from being on Minecraft servers servers would also use crates to make a gambling type aspect to get their

Player base hooked on spending tons of money most of these crates would feature a variety of different items showcasing the best items right at the top of the crate with the not so good items all the way at the bottom this is so when you

Buy a crate you will likely get a bad item and want to spend more money they don’t know how much they are truly getting ripped off as they’re literally spending money on a virtual item in a Minecraft server not to mention that the chances of getting these items are

Listed on the crates but who knows if they’re real or not they could also be heavily rigged and no one would even know so how are these servers selling these items if it’s technically against toos one thing servers have done in the past to avoid getting taken down is

Threatening a lawsuit towards Mojang Mojang doesn’t have the time to be dealing with problems on a small Minecraft server that is selling illegal items they will notify the server owners if they’re breaking to however if the server owner simply threatens a lawsuit Mojang will back off it’s honestly a

Flawed system that Mojang has little to no control over and I wouldn’t be surprised if for the rest of Minecraft pay to win servers exist from using this method to avoid being being shut down the crate system has even been used in earlier days of donut SMP which is

Currently one of the most popular Minecraft servers averaging tens of thousands of players every day Dr donut is the owner of this server and makes tons of money off it to the point where his net worth is upwards of $800,000 since the early days donut SMP

Has become a lot better in comparison to how it used to operate by removing the crate gambling aspect the official public LIF steal server would even get called out for promoting gambling to kids in a video by cix just a couple months ago however he seems to have

Deleted the video in his whole Channel since then well I I’ve talked to Parrot before when he owned it he said it was more about making the funds back but I feel like why why make the funds back off of gambling with kids I don’t think it’s morally okay to sell kids gambling

It’s just gross I don’t understand why that’s a thing after the question questions from the accusers Leo would come back with the statements it’s like obviously we we don’t really want this to be in the server in the first place either right it why do we have it in the

First place cuz we’re we need to make money for the server to run like in it’s still important to mention that they have to make money in order to operate and pay all their employees sometimes servers need to use pay to win options to make their money back in order for it

To stay in business by the way this video is sponsored by my Discord server I plan on streaming tons of civilization events on my YouTube channel so if you want to be notified before they happen and reserve your spot in the events then be sure to join my Discord anyways let’s

Get back on track with the video many new and existing creators would notice the rise of these pay to win servers and realize what they were attempting to do to their young and impressionable player base they would decide to take matters into their own hands and have some fun in the process

Creators like the duper Trooper the Mr Epic and more recently zman 1064 would go on these servers and dup hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of in-game items these creators would get a lot of support from their actions and get even more views across all videos with many

Of the most popular duping videos being from the Mr Epic with millions of views he would dup on massive Creator servers including the donut smpp as I mentioned recently however there’s really only one issue that I have with what they’re doing in these pay to win servers sure

They are duping to prevent kids from spending their money on gambling aspects in servers but at the same time they’re damaging servers that had obviously taken a lot of time to create if anything these dupers are just old school Minecraft Griefers disguised as Heroes since they’re quote unquote

Preventing kids from being scammed the real question is if what they’re doing is Justified or not I was a server owner in the past and my server got hacked multiple times after spending hundreds of hours working on it it was so demotivating to have done all this work

Just for someone to come in and ruin it I understand why these people are duping on servers however I feel like there’s a much better way to do it tak9 is a YouTuber who made a video calling out the donut SMP for promoting gambling to his audience back in October of 2023

After talking to Dr donut about his opinions on the crate system on donp he quickly made the change right after do you think it’s okay for kids to gamble yes or no nah that’s why I want to do something else with monetization but it’s hard to do but you’ve already made

tons of money off the back of gambling and you’re saying it’s gambling you literally just admitted it’s gambling but as I said earlier I guess it’s technically sort of gambling because there are chances even though they are shown to be equal after speaking with donut myself I actually

Find the dude to be reasonable and not a bad guy at all although I do not agree with the way he makes his money but after this conversation he made an announcement making the crates non- gambling now when you get a crate key you can pick which item you get out of

The crate I do understand the frustration that these dupers have with pay to win servers and I do agree with a lot of the things that they say but I also think that duping isn’t always the answer to these problems sometimes just talking to the server owners about

Making these changes will do the trick I personally believe that a server is only pay to in if it gatekeep overpowered items that you can only obtain by spending money in the game however if these op items are obtainable by playing the game for free then the server is not

Pay to Inn players also have to understand that these servers need to make money somehow in order to keep it running like I said previously I used to have a public server and not only did I have to pay developers tons of money but I also had to pay for Builders and other

Staff members if these servers sold things that nobody wanted to buy there would be no point in spending money on the server and they wouldn’t make any sort of Revenue this would likely result in the server eventually shutting down you also have to consider the fact that many servers regardless of if they’re

Paid to win or not have tons of things that they have to pay for every month if you guys enjoyed this video then do be sure to check out this other one on the infus SMP which ended recently I go over all the drama that surrounded it and
