DrDisrespect calls New York Times bestseller list a scam

Herschel "Guy" Beahm IV, better known as DrDisrespect by fans, recently released his book focusing on his alter-ego, entitled "Violence. Speed. Momentum. No, the book does not include details about his Twitch ban, as the YouTuber steered clear of this touchy subject. Despite DrDisrespect's claims that his book has sold out "almost everywhere" in the first week, the New York Times didn't include it in their bestseller list. This has led to DrDisrespect lashing out against the popular publication.
