YouTube Drama and Diss Tracks?

Diss Tracks?


Diss tracks have been a large part in the music industry for decades, mainly in rap. In recent years diss tracks have made their way onto YouTube as a large part of YouTube drama and it looks like they're here to stay. There are many large YouTubers making diss tracks including RiceGum, iDubbbz, KSI, Jake Paul and many others.

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.

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

Children and ethics, our 10 cents worth

Check out our very own YouTube video here ! Our video discusses the issue of YouTube videos which contain content that are either controversial or manipulative, especially for their target markets. Although to have your own YouTube account the minimum age is 12, anyone can access YouTube videos without an account. We have chosen to review videos from AWSMR KIDS and Toy Family.

The Toy Family channel is the most controversial of the two. Visualised here are adults dressed as popular kids movie characters such as Spiderman and Elsa. They are shown to be acting out various indecent acts which is just outrageous.. Each me

Demonetisation and where to now?

Where do we go from here? (Check out our previous post about this before reading on!) "The YouTube community is the body armour that stops competitors at getting at Youtube" - Casey Casey believes this recent disruption to the Google owned video platform may pave the way for possible competitors that can offer much more such as, a wider audience and better opportunities for creators to monetise their content. Twitch is an example of a platform that appears to be a viable competitor. Majority of its users are gamers who make videos.. who knows what could happen next? We're going to go through the suggestions that Casey Neistat have provided. Remember that drama with Jimmy Kimmel and the ad controversy? YouTube attempted to explain below that some select partners are allowed to run their own ads --> Casey asks the question "Why can't I or other creators create our own ads?"  This is a great idea that creators could h
