“Markiplier” is Dead!?

It has been announced in a YouTube video released on 10th October 2017 that “Markiplier” has been killed.

Who is Markiplier?
Mark of Mark Edward Fischbach is an American YouTube celebrity that has been joining YouTube since 2012 and has been becoming famous since that. For example, in 2015, he is mentioned by Susanne Ault in “Digital Star Popularity Grows Versus Mainstream Celebrities” that his channel is rated as the 6th out of 20 most influential celebrities among teenagers in the United States (with PewDiePie as 2nd). In 2016, he signed to Revelmode, a subnetwork to an American multi-channel network, Maker Studios, along with other YouTubers, such as Jacksepticeye, and PewDiePie.

How is Markiplier killed?


Recently, Markiplier has finished a series called “Who killed Markiplier?”, and his recent videos have been highly inspired by that series. From the first episode, it can be seen that “you” are invited to “Markiplier Manor”, with other invited guests. Before the first night passed, various roles and characters were introduced briefly, such as the Colonel, the Detective, the Mayor (Damien), the Butler, the Chef, and Markiplier himself. However, after the first night passed, “you” found Markiplier was dead on the floor, lying in cold. Followed by the others who came in after you, they see the body too. Thus, the mystery begins as other true characters slowly being revealed, and will there be another murder occurred after that?

Some of the roles that played in the series were played by various people, such as the Butler was played by Mark’s manager and his close friend, Tyler Scheid, the Detective was played by a voice actor and online animator, Ricepirate, and the Chef was played by an actor, Robert Rexx. On the other hand, the Colonel, the Mayor, and Markiplier were played by one character, that is Markiplier himself.

- Cheers, Elvin

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...
