Celebrities in the Raid: My experience with a youtuber (a true raid story)

So yesterday I did the Crota-Raid with a group of friends, two of them first timers. It was the most memorable/fun Raid I had to date, since basically everything went wrong from the start and we still pulled through. Example 1: After 2 hours we finally managed to hold the Endbridgepoint of Abyss and then everybody but me died. A lamp exploded and somehow I ended up near the start of the Maze. We had already lost 3 guys on the way. There were two dead bodies on the platform and me stumbling through the maze with 10xweight of darkness. I managed to revive all the lost guardians in the Labyrinth and the two dead ones, that were surrounded by ogres and whatnot left and rejoined. We marched all the way from startpoint to the bridge in total darkness, no enemy spawned, and we were preapred to clean the platform from afar. We managed to kill all the Adds only to realize when we stepped on the plate again, that all the enemys would spawn again. I immediately died to a bunch of Abyssthralls during my super, and the last five standing managed to activate the bridge and cross over. Example 2: We planned to practice at the bridge to give the untrained some insight into the required timings, a friend of mine went over the bridge with the sword and we others got killed/wiped. So 5 dead bodies on this side an d my friend (31 Titan) solo at the other. I joked: you only have to kill them all then this stage is passed. 2 Ogres and Wizards almost spwaned immediately, every 60 seconds or so one of the Totems bugged out and my friend had to practically hug the ogres and wizards to deactivate the deathtimer. All between getting rushed by thralls and Knights. The whole party was on his view, warning him when something sneaked up, spawned etc. He managed to pull through. A true wonder, since he didn`t even know that it was doable solo. Then one had to leave and somehow a youtuber ended up in our group. Then the problems started. Not only did he feel the need to almost talk 100% of the time and interrupt our usual banter, but he distorted the act of playing a game into work. Suddenly it was our job to fullfill his need to complete the Raid in the first week so that he could post a complete guide on his channel. He was very "professional" and played the carrot-stick game to motivate us. He kept belittling the group he lead before : You are much better than the group before, they couldn`t even stay alive in the beginning" (I immediately thought that these were the same bad things he would keep telling the group after us, if we failed him), and then going into military tone "that has to work now". When he died as swordbearer it was always somebody elses fault, we either did to early damage to craota or too late. Mind you: The guy was mostly stressed that it didn`t work the way he had thought out or heard of it should work, because this must have been his umpteenth try to beat crota, he is maybe the nicest person in RL, but you could literally watch his pattience-clock go down more and more, until he finally cracked and started to insult people. Any similar or opposing experiences with Celebrities in the Raid?
