Was Rileycs Actually Cheating? (Investigation & Rant)

Rileycs (aka the "catgirl cheater") went viral over cheating allegations back in August. After I went viral for responding to the controversy, I decided to promise and thereby produce a deep dive into the situation. Here, we review the controversy, explain terminology and features related to cheating, analyse clips and livestream segments, and discuss information surrounding the situation that was not given the deserved spotlight.
Also, please excuse some of the deficiencies in editing. This video was an immense undertaking and I set a time limit on myself which, due to real life circumstances, I was only barely able to stay in line with.

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT condone the sending of hate to anyone. This video is my opinion based on my research, and should not be taken as an excuse to harass, demonize, or otherwise dogpile on anyone. Any attempts to do any of these things or justify such actions will not be tolerated. This video also does NOT endorse violating the TOS of any video game. References to this are strictly for informative purposes.
