doesn't it occur to you that he might act attached to me because he's my friend
You don't need to tell that to me, Squideey makes it quite clear.
Wake up would you. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are with you and him on a friendship level, Squideey benefits with the exposure he gets from you. His videos are crap, the only reason anyone originally found out who he was, is because he became publically synonymous with you. Whether it was his intention to begin with or not, he sure does like to take advantage of that from what I've seen.
Think what you want. I doubt I'm the only one that sees this. If you want to ignore it, so be it.
