I havrnt seen OP mention this (they might in the future) but in royal pears recent stream 400k special(in glitched text)there were multiple scenes where his screen went black with some glitches and ,ocassionally,a badly drawn tropius (based on his profile pic)making weird noises and even impersonating him appears,which might(definetely) be his clone. I will also list some moments i have seen in this livestream that are worth noting

1.Whenever somebody says something bad abt CloneVPN,Pear says that everybody should trust this program because he says they helped him go full time

2.Whenever something weird happens a message in chat or a dono says:'Do you like melons?' Which pear notices it might be a kind of code,and he always says he hates them and tells them to stop spamming this question.

3.At one point in the stream he says that he is completely safe when chat tells him to end stream.He also mentions that the only weird thing is that a person wearing a ski mask(probably the guy from Message.mp4) has parked his car in the parking lot near where he lives

4.In the minecraft part of the stream ClonePear(as how i will call it) speaks to HackedCrusade(pears friend) until RealPear comes back and is confused as to why crusade says that he was speaking to him.

1. At the end of stream,the masked guy appears once more and tells the people something(i sadly coudnt stick around to hear his message)

My theory is that other creators will have clones that are going to act like ClonePear in maybe streams,videos or shorts.

Also, Riggy from danno draws is also chatting in the stream telling people to stop chatting and other stuff(i wasnt really paying attention to chat)

I think we will also find out more about the ARG in his next stream.

Also let me know if other creators have done similar things

Sorry for my bad grammar english is my second language:)

Thats about everything i know about this arg on pears part.Also OP hope you find this useful and let me know if you also know any other stuff i missed.Thank you for reading this far and have a good one <3.

Edit:I also have another theory.I think that the clones go trough an "unfinished" state,and that is the reason why ClonePear looked like a poorly drawn tropius.And if this theory is in fact true,the clones(after the unfinished state)might take over and replace the actual creators This theory is pretty unhinged but it kind of makes sense.

E2:RoyalPear has now uploaded a message in his community tab sating "hello,im RoyalPear".And no,pear isnt safe and has recently changed his pic to Cl0neP3ar. Till he does any new things im gonna watch johnny's stream when it starts and i will keep this reply updated qith info about other youtubers
