Yew Neek
Also known as: SaiyanZ, SaiyanZ Entertainment, JoeErotic1, Kyle Swindelles
Kyle Swindelles operates as Yew Neek (a play on 'uniqueness') and SaiyanZ Entertainment, creating reaction videos and live streams targeting podcast personalities in the comedy and alternative media space. He became notorious for his confrontational style, which included feuding with Karl Hamburger from Who Are These Podcasts, Anthony Cumia from the Opie & Anthony universe, and Mike David from Redbar. His content often involves rebroadcasting or commenting on other shows, which led to multiple disputes over content theft and fair use. Yew Neek's most high-profile legal battle came in 2022 when comedian Brendan Schaub sued him for copyright infringement over reaction videos featuring clips from The Fighter & The Kid podcast. Swindelles successfully defended himself on fair use grounds, with the court ruling in his favor in 2024. The lawsuit was reportedly triggered by a video showing Schaub giving his phone number to women despite being married. Throughout the case, Yew Neek allegedly received anonymous legal assistance from an associate at Schaub's own law firm who had quit and helped him file motions pro se. Within the Dabbleverse and WATP community, Yew Neek is a polarizing figure known for his drunk livestreams, confrontational interviews, and tendency to generate drama. He has been criticized for his presentation style and accused of race-baiting and content theft by figures like Redbar's Mike David, who claimed Yew Neek was rebroadcasting his live streams in real-time. Despite the controversies, he maintains an active YouTube presence and podcast called The Yewneek Pod
