THANK YOU! THIS IS SO INSANE AND IM SO GRATEFUL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!

I'm a now former Mod and Ambassador of Artesian builds, they removed my mod because I backed KiaPiaa and the 2 others poor streamers that got done dirty, I then terminated my contract. I'm actually embarrassed to say I own a PC from them. Then the 3 attempted apologizes from the CEO were laughable. Also the company's FTB has been Forfeited according to records discovered by another person on Twitter. I spent 20 months with the company as a Ambassador and was mod for over a year. I was one of the first 50 followers on their Twitch, nights where the CEO Noah was streaming with no viewers except me. I kept him company so he wasn't alone. I feel like I've wasted over a year of my life dealing with them. Sorry for the rant, just wanted to give my input from someone who's watched them grown from nothing to something.

I still remember watching Jayz's video of him quitting his job and deciding to go full-time on youtube. it's so good to see Jayz hit the 3.6 million+ and now a Tech Influencer to the rescue of another Tech streamer. This is so encouraging.

I know this is an old video, but I've only really gotten into your stuff since starting my journey with my first self-built pc a couple months ago, and I just wanna say, your parenting methodology and your general desire to take a stand for what's right keeps me around as a subscriber and new PC owner.

The fact that Artesian Builds just shut down operations stemming from this disaster makes it all the sweeter

My house burned down a few months ago and I lost everything, filming gear, collection etc. The awesome retrogaming community all stepped up to help me. Like you say, the positive things that happen like this are amazing. Nice work!

You gained a lot of respect with that incredibly kind act. Best of wishes to Kia. I'm sure this changed a negative situation into a positive.

Watched about this happening, that CEO from Artisan Build deserves what he's got I just feel sorry for the employees who are in the toilet now. Just hope they get jobs, that's awesome what you have done for the streamer, well done and hope the future is rosy for you and the streamer.

This was such a dad move. I knew it before you said "If my daughter..." Thanks for keeping the world turning for this woman and people like her.

Major ups to Jay, EVGA, Corsair, Crucial, and all other companies that reached out. Respect.

Not only does this shed a lot of light in how amazing of a person you are, but also EVGA and the other brands that didnt even hesitate to give some next level ballin parts. Just makes me love people like you and brands like EVGA even more!

" i love this case because you can fit a whole lot of components without worrying about if they fit" - clip of jay griding away some metal

I've been following this saga on Twitter and this is so freaking cool for Jay and co. to step in and do this.

The funniest part of this situation is that the giveaway is sponsored by Intel and Jay gave Kiapiaa an AMD system. Talk about a double whammy :D

So happy for her, you are incredible, Ive struggled trying to make KZfaq content for over a year and it's can be very discouraging and with limited hardware I can't show off the amazing graphics and perfect frames, it really makes you feel like you can't do much at all, it's really nice to see you do this

I have to say this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time as somebody that's trying to get into streaming as well this is such a conference booster I really appreciate how the community comes together and I appreciate what you did for her

Love this. Its good to hold those accountable

Apparently, this isn't the first time Artesian Builds did this. This went viral because AB did this live. But on some of their giveaways, they disqualified some of their winners through PMs, telling them their subs count are too low for them to receive thousand of dollars worth of free stuff.

the fact that this incident just got kiapia that much bigger opens her up to bigger and better ambassador opportunities is that much sweeter

Jay you are actually an amazing person. I've been following you for quite a while at this point and you've helped me so much! You are a class act and I couldn't be more proud to be apart of your community.

"Be polite, be kind" Words to live by Jay!!! If everyone just did these two simple things. You've done a very kind thing here. Good on ya brother

As a small company from Canada trying to build a name, loved to see this. No one is above anyone else and everyone should be treated fairly.

Hey Jay! I started watching you when I first got into building my own PCs. It does me proud to see you stand behind people with positive efforts like this!

It's nice to read about the bad guys being taken down, turning this into such a feel-good story. Congratulations Kiapia. Great work by everyone and outstanding help by JayzTwoCents for always caring about the little guy, and knowing one's roots and from whence they came.

I remember Jay asking about what sort of content we wanted a while back. This sort of stuff is amazing - I don't mean just giving away free PCs to people (that would be ridiculous!), I mean such a humble and positive view of the community as a while as well as such a phenomenally well thought out response to what has been an awful situation for someone. Massively appreciate the positivity and keep spreading the love!

This is a classy move. I absolutely love to see it. Thanks for being awesome to the community, all of it.

I've followed your channel for almost nine years. This proves your character and integrity well beyond any doubt. Gives hope to others there's still genuine human beings on this troubled planet. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!

That system is sick. I know she will love it. Good on you Jay for coming to the rescue and helping support her

This is why I follow Jay and have for 6-7 years. A pretentious moron mistreats someone, so Jay uses his experience and connections to make it right! Jay your a role model for all those who do find success. Keep it up.

Jay you have my respect, as they say, "Treat people the way you would like to be treated."

Mad respect - plus actually showing a business how to actually build your brand - may you get all the good feels and vibes

Glad to have a feel good story. Thank you. Jay and evga needed some positivity today.

I love how after this event, Kiapiaa was getting +1,000 concurrent viewers, which was wayyyy more than Artesian Builds could ever get

I personally have nothing good to say about people who do things like that at all, but thankfully theres a silver lining here or gold af with JayzOverkillCents over here lol. Good job man!

OUTSTANDING! What you did for her and kudo's to EVGA as well. Cheers.

Its heartwarming to hear there's streamers and builders that reached out and helped turn a very depressing situation around. Everyone had to start out at zero and work there ways up. I hope it diffidently instills some of positive feelings out there to others to help pay it forward when they see they can turn around and help someone out as best as they can.

And that Jay, is why you’re as big as you are. Such a whole hearted guy, even in the darkest of times. Huge props to you and any and all vendors who reached out, still some really good folks in the world.

Thank you and EVGA for stepping up to fix this awful situation. This is what the tech community is about, helping the underdog. She'll put this rig to good use.

This was amazing to watch. Love the support you have for and from the community. Keep up the great videos.

Shout out to Jay for being an amazing human being and "big brother" to his fellow creater. I love how artesian builds has gone out of business since this video. I hope she is doing well and is able to use this to create something great with her channel. Good luck!!

EVGA is really a great company. I lost access to my email for a month and during that month I got an email about being able to purchase a 3090. I had been in the queue for a year. I emailed them explaining my situation and I gave proof I was temporarily locked out of it and they let me buy one! They really do give people the best even in really challenging times.

Come for the hardware reviews, stay for the integrity. Massive respect to Jay, his crew, and all the others who help fight the good fight. Stuff like this is why I will always be a huge fan of this channel.

I have only recently started to follow Jay, but this is an amazing thing to do in this situation. I am glad that I randomly came across Jay's videos a few weeks ago and began to follow this channel. Thank you for being such a great streamer and for being there for fellow streamers and the community.

I had no idea these scumbags were out there. AND I just bought a system. Glad I didn't run into them. Anyway, well done riding to the rescue. GOOD JOB! You've just guaranteed yourself a permanent place on my KZfaq subscription list.

Makes me feel good to know that people like Jay and Steve are out there advocating for us. These are genuine people who care, and I am glad to be (if only a very, very small part) of their world. Thanks Jay.

Kiappia: "I win a free PC?" ArtesianBuilds: "Yes, but actually no." JayzTwoCents: "Yes, I'll make it for you!"

LOVE this! Thank you so much for doing this and thank you EVGA and all those that also stepped in. Wow

This is the first video i have seen of yours and i have to day as an Army Infantry Combat veteran this is amazing to see todays world needs more people like you.

What an AWESOME move Jay!

Good on you and props to EVGA for coming through. Personally, I have no desire to watch streamers, but I wish her the best on her stream.

been watching for a few years now and love how much of a legend he is. normally there is not a reason to celebrate a company basically bottoming out. In this case where a company tells someone they cant have their giveaway because they aren't "big" enough for their taste, would be like telling someone they cant have the mega millions they won because they are to poor, its ridiculous. but i will be checking out her stream and showing love and support. keep this community strong friends.

This felt good to watch. May you guys continue to be blessed.

So glad you linked to Kiapiaa's Twitch channel!! Two other streamers, strwbrrymoogle and protezee, were also swindled out of their prizes by the folks at AB yesterday, so everybody make sure to check them out and give them your support as well!

Thank you to you Jay for bringing this up and to EVGA for their generosity.

I absolutely love the technology community, we're always here to help each other out and it's amazing how much support we've gotten for Kia to grow.

First of all, you are a GOAT. Loved the video brother!!! amazing act of kindness i love to see it

You guys did a good thing. I was gobsmacked after seeing how they treated her _LIVE_ on stream. So holier than thou, condescending, cringy, and just ugh. I had hoped this all gets spun into something positive for her. Best of luck Kiapia. Hold steady and stay the course.

This is why I like Jay, he's such a humble guy it's crazy how much he cares about all streamers or content creators, he's my favourite toutuber hands down.

Good to see there is actual good people out there. Always remember your roots so true. "I like when money makes a difference but doesn't make you different"

oh dang that computer looks absolutely amazing. been trying to get my paws on parts for my computer as I need to upgrade some stuff as my 8pin connector got damaged so only have a 4 pin power connector at the moment. been a pain with post covid expenses and other things going on in life. computer is getting a bit "old" lol at this point just planning to do a full new build. if I can actually find everything I need at the same time. well done on taking a stand on that situation very good to see one them being put on blast and two the computer, streaming, gaming community coming together in such a rare moment of unity.

Faith in humanity restored. Seriously, whilst it’s depressing the things people will say or do to others, it also brings out the best of others. I’m happy to be apart of your community Jay. Never change ❤️

2:40 Turns out there is something wrong with that: you're not allowed to run a chance-based giveaway that demands something of value from the participants, because that makes it a lottery rather than a giveaway. And legally speaking, producing advertisement value for the company running the giveaway does count for this. In fact, even demanding the ambassadors to have that referral banner on their Twitch about page might actually qualify as a requirement to do something of value to Artesian Builds. Even things like requiring participants to fill out surveys can be verboten if the resulting survey data has business value to the company. In the US, only State governments are allowed to run lotteries. And even outside the US, there's at minimum a lot of red tape involved in legally running a lottery. Not to mention private lotteries aren't just illegal to run: they're illegal to participate in. Getting caught up in this mess might actually cause harm to Ambassadors who just participated in it, if the US government decides to be a dick about this. So this stuff going high-profile might actually change the way these things are run in the tech community going forward. You can make it a giveaway where you just need to register for free, no additional requirements, and that's fine. You can make it a contest where the best Ambassador is awarded the rig, removing the element of a random draw, and it's also fine. But what Artesian Builds did was 100% a lottery: there was an element of chance that couldn't be removed by performing better than other participants, and participants were required to generate an ROI for Artesian Builds, which is obviously a consideration requirement. Which means all three elements of a lottery (prize, chance and consideration) were met.

AMEN dude. We have been sluggin it out for 7 years and are an ultra small channel. Small unknown creators ilke us really appreciate you helping out channels smaller than you. Good on you Jay. 👍👍

I would die for a system like this. Fair play dude! To help someone in this way shows your true colours.

Even more reason to support you and your sponsors. You’ve been using your platform to do right by the community for a long time. Sincerest thanks 🙏🏼 for all that you do and the lives you change for the better!

I was just as happy seeing this as I would have been getting this PC myself. You are so kind!

Thank all you YTers for covering this company. I was thinking of having a new computer built and was looking at these guys. Thanks to you and your compatriots, I just upgraded my current rig's parts and am quite satisfied.

It’s awful when you have things happen like that but it makes me feel good that there’s people like you who undo the wrong that other people have done to someone else.

Glad to see the community being positive! Always loved EVGA and how they look out for the customer base!

Getting royally screwed over by a company is the best thing you can hope for in the Twitch/YT sphere. Also kudos to Kiapiaa for rejecting the "we are kinda sorry" PC from Artesian Builds.

I've seen a handful of your videos over the past couple of years and always enjoyed your content. What you did here for this lady instantly gained my subscription to your channel.

So cool to see positivity, generosity and good vibes coming from this, JTC! Good luck Kia!

Absolutely there's such a thing as bad advertising, after hearing this I don't want anything to do with them. Good job!!🇺🇸🤨

This is why I follow Jay, he's just one of the guys and helps out and calls out wrong-doing when he sees it! Kudos Jay!

Way to go man! Always good to see someone at the top looking out for those at the bottom.

Very nice of you And everyone else involved!

Jay, I've been subbed to you for years. Like before skunk works. You have never changed and i hope you never do man. I was hoping to get a pc building channel like yours but life happened and with kids and school that dream dwindled into non existence but i still love computers with a passion and your channel. This was amazing to watch. Thank you for not forgetting your roots and keeping the positive vibes throughout everything!!! Much love to you, yours, and all the small people grinding away!

All too often us smaller content creators get the shaft like this and it's good to see that there's still good in the world now and then. If I could do something like this myself, I would do so In a heartbeat. Thank you for stepping up and doing so for all of us that wish we could.

Good on you Jay! its nice to see there are still good people out there

wow brother! you just earned a subscription... Always watched your stuff. This seals it for me. Thank you for standing up for the little peeps!

And the good thing is: This will probably work on increasing her viewer base. Thanks Jay, you and your team are awesome!! Btw, we are missing Nick and Phil on screen!

This is what makes JayzTwoCents awesome! He truly cares about the gaming community and wants to help out in any way he can. Thank you for using the influence you have to do what is right.

I actually needed this amount of wholesome in my Life today. I am so glad good people like this still actually exist and do things to make the world a better place to their ability. Great shit.

That's totally awesome what you did here, Not only made that new streamer's day but you set a pretty good example for the rest of us,.

So if she ends up getting a bunch of good PCs, she can just keep one or two (for a two PC setup) and then give away the rest throughout the next weeks and everybody wins while we get to spread a good message: "Don't be a dick!" Edit: Checked her latest stream and within the first few minutes she said she would be giving a setup to her brother and give extras away.

It's been a little over a week and I'm still coming back to this just for a quick feel-good reminder of how awesome the PC hardware community is. Thanks again Jay for being an awesome person first, and an awesome content creator second.

Incredible act of kindness... wonderful video and thing to do Jay.

Dude, that build looks cleeeean. Good on you guys for spreading so much positivity and support for an otherwise bad situation.

As a small streamer from the UK, saving for my first pc build since the original rainbow six game, I'm grateful to see people standing up for Kiapia, I currently enter every free pc draw I believe I'm eligible for, and what happened with her would devastate me, on the plus side though, it's allowed me to find yourself and your videos which will help me get back knowledge of the sort of things I will need in a build. Thank you for remembering we start at 0.

That was really cool Jay. Totally made my day. Kudos to EVGA and everyone else who offered to help. Shame on Artesian. The bad publicity this will cost them will be way higher than the cost of the PC. Enjoy your fab rig Kiapia.

Jay I just have to say you are an amazing person and we need more people like you! Keep being you man, your killing it!

Evga is and always will be my favorite of the manufacturers, it seems like such good people run that company.

Jay, thank you. You've worked with companies like Intel, Asus, and EVGA time and time again to give to the community. You've helped your community with the PC gaming/ streaming center. You've helped individuals that couldn't afford upgrades and people that volunteer to help the community. Now you're helping streamers getting shafted by the companies supposedly sponsoring them. You're a total class act, thanks for being a part of the PC community.

KIA gotta be a little overwhelmed, her last stream blew up, 150 followers to 7K, community support was epic. GG

You are the best Jay!!! Humbled to see this. Very sweet and kind gesture bro! Amazing of you!

I've only been following you since the beginning of this year, so I'm relatively new here and I watch your videos every time they pop up on my feed. I already liked your content, but what you did for Kiapia has made me gain eternal respect for you. I'm glad there's people like you who stand up for others, and I'm happy that it turned out even better for her despite going through what must've been an extremely embarrassing and off-putting situation.

Absolutely love seeing this Jay, an incredible way to step in and correct a wrong. Or at least correct the circumstance. Been a fan for a long time, and will remain so.

“Beats anything they could slap together” love how you were just big dogging them the whole time 😭

This is why you guy's are so AWSOME!!! If more people pay it forward like this the world would be a better place!

I started watching this channel a few days ago and I love it. This man is very helpful.
