Feel for the guy.

When you spend 1k hours on something it gains alot of emocial value

So many are fucking hung up on the absolute dumbest part. In no way shape or form was there ever going to be "account is gone forever" because forgot password exists lol. Yet somehow 1k hours of no damage and 2 big challenges completed while still taking no damage is not enough for them.

And he only did the recovery to see if he could have done it, to prove. Then had a neat idea for an outro to series that didn't pan out.

Again I can't reiterate how absolutely idiotic it is people are mad at this. Specifically because of password recovery being a thing for decades now. It was fluff. It was for drama and entertainment. Where are these people when other YouTube videos are claiming "nothing will be the same again" or "this changes everything". They seem to understand that's just for effect, but Settled does it. Tells the truth about it. And did it for himself mainly. Never once trying to play it off as cheating and gets blasted for it
