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.

The feud continues! Idubzzz fires back with a 'Content Deputy'

YouTuber Idubzzz has finally released the long anticipated 'Content Deputy' after Ricegum's sloppy attempt to respond to the latest 'Content Cop'. For those who are unaware, Idubzzz's Content Deputy is a response video if the victim had replied to the Content Cop . Idubzzz's Content Deputy proved how Ricegum had failed to properly address the criticism detailed in the Content Cop video and instead has continued to manipulate his young audience by 'winning' arguments Idubzzz never even made. Some examples include; Ricegum believing that him being forgiven by the rape victim excuses his past actions, avoiding Idubzzz's criticism by shifting the blame to Pewdiepie and just so many more. In my opinion, Idubzzz's arguments just went right over Ricegum's head and maybe that explains his failure to properly respond to Idubzzz. 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. But it did affect it greatly. The FineBros were up next after their decision to trademark "react videos". However the Content Cop didn't add much to the already sinking ship that was their channel. They did decide to change their decision to trademark "react videos". Overall the Content Cop didn't affe...

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...
