Controversies

On April 16th 2021, Youtube comedian FriendlyJordies uploaded a video titled "Cancel Culture KILLS Artists (Yours and Owls)" that detailed their negative experience with Yours and Owls through a series of e-mails claiming that FriendlyJordies is racist to Aboriginals due to 'a couple of staff reacting to a tiktok video' of him, despite his views being in-line with the elders of the area in question. In the video, Jordies describes Yours and Owls as a 'hipster mafia' that has 'replicated the function of a tick' who, through majority control of venue management in Wollongong, have a stranglehold on artists and control who is and isn't allowed to operate in Wollongong with financial stability.[16] It currently has over 290,000 views and 22,000 likes.
