Weekly YouTube Drama Dump

Welcome to the Weekly YouTube Drama dump. Let's catch up on what happened this past week on YouTube. Big news recently as Pewdiepie, the biggest YouTuber currently has let a racist remark slip while livestreaming some Video Games. This has caused a lot of controversy around him and other many YouTubers are making videos about what happened, Pewdiepie has already apologized for what he said and seems sincerely sorry for what he did. Here is Pewdiepie's apology video

In other news Youtubers KSI and Joe Weller are going to face off in a boxing match, which I didn't believe was actually a thing until I saw the press conference for it on YouTube. It seems extremely faked and looks to be done for views and money by two YouTubers who have fallen out of the spotlight in recent years. This is a Link to the Press Conference in question.

This seems to be the two bigger drama events that happened within the YouTube scene last week.
