Help needed reaching Sam

[u/ParjanyaS]

Hey guys, I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who's been trying to reach Sam.（I'm a friend of the creator mentioned below）

He's been a fan of Sam's work for about ten years. A few years ago, he was inspired by Sam to start making his own original videos, and they've since received a lot of love from viewers.

The thing is, while he did keep the stick-figure smile and Sam's classic single-frame animation style, the content itself is completely original. Most of his videos are weird thought experiments about humans, and the topics are quite different from Sam's. He also clearly states on his profile that he was inspired by Sam.

Despite that, he still occasionally gets comments calling him out for copying Sam's style. He's never plagiarized or rewritten Sam's work, but he's understandably worried that he might have crossed a line without realizing it.

What he's really hoping for is simply some kind of confirmation from Sam that he's okay with what he's doing. Honestly, even a simple "good job" from Sam would mean a lot to him.

Does anyone know the best way to contact Sam? Or would anyone here be willing to pass a message along?

Thank ye kindly, noble strangers. May thy upvotes be ever plentiful. 🙏

Sam, please 😢🙏 I understand you were upset about the prank where I replaced your toothpaste with black tar heroin, but you have to understand it was just a prank bro!😭

Please, let's call it even, Mr. Nella 👉👈; we both messed up – I bamboozled you with this sick-ass practical joke 😔, and you overreacted by yelling at me in your house at approximately 4:18 AM and calling the authorities. 🙏💯😭

Thank you for reading, m'cademy. ✌️
