New Rising Trend on YouTube

"Try not to laugh" challenges are rapidly gaining popularity on YouTube due to participation of big name YouTubers.

"Try not to laugh" or "You laugh, you lose" challenges are not new to YouTube, with videos being made by many different channels for years. However, these "Try not to laugh" challenges have recently re-appeared in the limelight due to many popular YouTubers, such as "PewDiePie" attempting them for their viewers.

These "Try not to laugh" challenge videos are made up of a series of, normally unrelated, through which the viewer must not laugh in order to have 'won' the challenge. Many popular YouTubers film themselves struggling not to laugh in response to these clips in order to piece together a more amusing video, featuring not just the content from the do not to laugh challenge, but also their own, often hilarious, attempts to mask their own laughter and amusement.

Another recent trend is "You laugh, you lose" videos featuring not funny clips, but instead two YouTubers or comedians, pitted against each other to tell jokes, the first person to laugh losing the round. These videoes have also surged in popularity, With Youtube Channel All Def Digital, gaining an average of between 2-3 million views on each video of this genre they release.

I, for one, welcome the videos as a change of pace and amusing pastime hobby to take fill up the time I should be using for study.

This begs the question; is Ricegum even capable of basic comprehension? Another point proven by Idubzzz is th...

Content Cop: Where are they now?

How effective is Content Cop? Content Cop is an immensely successful YouTube series by YouTuber iDubbbz. But how much does it affect the YouTubers that it is made about? The first content cop made was made about Jinx, a growing reaction channel during the time on YouTube when reaction channels were really popular. He was close to 1.3 million subs at the time of the Content Cop. iDubbbz exposed Jinx for his lackluster and uncreative content. Following this Content Cop Jinx slowly released videos less frequently and lost more and more subs and views. It's hard to say whether Content Cop is the main reason Jinx's YouTube channel has died.

They did decide to change their decision to trademark "react videos". Overall the Content Cop didn't affe...
