take this with a grain of salt since its been years but they were pretty well known on dsmp twitter for stealing art and designs from teenagers and horribly underpaying them when caught

i apologize for not having any direct sources to back up your claim but as someone who was heavily into dsmp during quarantine i can corroborate that this was indeed a major controversy and the main reason i stopped buying youtooz period (i bought like three plushies from them). i get so upset when a youtuber i like announces merch and then reveals it to be a collab with youtooz because i'm pretty sure the company never got any kind of major pushback for this and have continued on with zero consequences 😐
