Cuphead is a 2D shooter video game that is developed and published by StudioMDHR Entertainment and is released on September 29, 2017. Upon the release of the game, up until now, Cuphead still receiving positive reviews, despite the difficulty of the game. On October 2, PewDiePie released a video about him playing Cuphead for the first time. It can be seen from that video how the difficulty of the game is rather relative. He started playing, he already read some reviews first, telling about this difficult game with positive reviews. When he played, PewDiePie able to finish the tutorial faster than the mentioned game journalist, and exclaimed that it is necessary for people who are writing reviews for the game to play it properly beforehand. Although PewDiePie died several times in the first stage that he encountered, he is able to defeat one of the bosses without dying after that. At the end of the video, PewDiePie mentioned that the difficulty of a game is designed for a m...

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...

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 ...

The Aftermath of Adpocalypse

Is the 'Adpocalypse' over yet?  Adpocalypse was the term dubbed by the internet to the drama that happened several months ago on YouTube when advertisements were seen on controversial videos, which freaked out the advertisers. Videos that included hate speech or even links to terrorist groups... Read more at Forbes !  Since then, YouTuber have dished up an AI bot and can be explained in their own words: "in the first few hours of a video upload we use machine learning to determine if a video meets our advertiser-friendly guidelines. This also applies to scheduled live streams, where our systems look at the title, description, thumbnail and tags even before the stream goes live."  Casey Neistat just recently made a video explaining his frustrations that the creators, whether small or large, are the lifeblood of YouTube. If people's livelihoods are invested in this company, and this is their way of making a living, they deserve to be trea...

TechRax; Should throwing away money for YouTube views be allowed?

TechRax is a YouTuber who makes countless videos destroying phones and other expensive products in order to gain views. TechRax   has been making videos on YouTube for 8 years, creating content such as phone unboxings, tech reviews and phone comparison videos. However, since 2013, TechRax has begun making more "phone drop test" and "scratch test" videos until his content devolved to the point of continually and only producing content such as " What Happens If You Pour Molten Aluminum on 50 iPhones? " and " Burning Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus vs iPhone 7 Plus - Which Is Stronger? ". Since he began producing these videos, TechRax has gained millions of subscribers, with 5 million and 700 thousand subscribers as of now, and averaging between 500 thousand and 2 million views each video.

The Human Mail Challenge, fake or real?

The Human Mail Challenge involves shipping yourself from one point to another through the postal system.  The Human Mail Challenge is among a recent string of challenge videos that have been attempted by many popular YouTubers such as  Ricegum  and  Kill'em  who have both made videos on the topic, but is it real? From the videos it seems apparent that the Human Mail Challenge seems to be entirely staged, as is easily seen in  Kill'em's video  where he tapes two plastic tubs together with himself inside, pushes them out to sea, and supposedly drifts from the UK to France. This showcases the insane nature of the challenge whereby if it was properly attempted, there would be many deaths due to people being dropped while in boxes, suffocating or, in Kill'ems case, drowning at sea. Ethan from h3h3productions made a video  addressing the absurd nature of this challenge, specifically debunking  Kill'em's video , through the use of satire, ...

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...

Cash me ousside, how bow dah

‘Cash me ousside’ girl has drawn much attention on social media upon the recent release of her rap song “These Heaux” together with its music video, AND has continued to do so by releasing another single “Hi Bich/Whatchu Know” just this week. Danielle Bregoli, AKA “Bhad Bhabie” first rose to fame after her appearance as a 13 year old troubled teen on an episode of Dr Phil had gone viral. Many of us will remember this episode for the scene she caused; threatening audience members with the phrase “cash me ousside, how bow dah” (Catch me outside, how about that), which is what has brought her much popularity today. I’m sure I’m not alone when I thought “Gurl, what the hell are you doing?? You ain’t ghetto!” after watching her stupid stunt.  Fast forward to today, 15 year old Bhad Bhabie has dropped a new single “These Heaux” which currently has about 34 million views on YouTube and with the music video being so explicit, it gives off Lil Wayne vibes. However, she’s only 15 so I won...

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. - Connor
