Durv once again stole the limelight when he uploaded a video titled ‘Wanna join my free giftcard giveaway’. In this video, he introduced a giveaway in which he claimed to give his subscribers XBOX Live gift cards. However, an individual (name unknown) exposed Durv when he noticed that the XBOX Live gift card design was of an old gift card. This individual then went on to reveal other card designs that were fake as well. Several other points against Durv were mentioned by him and this ultimately proved the YouTuber guilty. As a result of this controversy, he lost several subscribers. Later on, he even admitted to using clickbaits to make money and accepted that he had been lying to people about the “free gift card giveaway”.

Durv has been heavily condemned for using clickbaits to earn views and subscribers. In September 2017, he released an official disstrack titled “Commentaries End” where he called out several other YouTubers. This video received several views before it was deleted and then reinstated. Today, it has hundreds of thousands of dislikes and a few likes.
Channel Termination & Reinstatement

However, despite his return, Durv has not been able to win back the love of his lost subscribers. Several people hate him and his comment section usually contains negative comments.
