I (f19) am in a fairly tight knit friend group of 6 people of similar age, all of us being 19-20. We’ve been friends for around 3 years.
One of my friends Max (m20) has started a gaming YouTube channel. He has like 5 subscribers right now. He’s convinced he’s going to be a famous YouTuber one day.
Sometimes, me and my friends will play video games together while calling on our discord server, that Max is the admin of.
Max has started recording these sessions to upload onto his YouTube channel. He asked us before doing it and none of us mind.
The issue is that the mic on my phone isn’t the best and sometimes it makes weird static noises. They aren’t super loud and people I’m talking to can usually still hear and understand me fine.
Max has started kicking me from the discord calls and not letting me join again because of the static noise because it will affect his YouTube video.
This has made me really angry and I told Max if he doesn’t like it he can buy me a new phone. He said its not like I’m being excluded fully, I can still play video games with everyone, and I should be more supportive of his dreams.
Some of our friends are 100% on my side but the rest are refusing to get involved.
Max and I ended up having a heated argument and it ended with me snapping at him and telling him he will never be a famous YouTuber so he can just be a decent friend instead. He called me a b@tch and said that I’m the one being a bad friend. Am I wrong here?
