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...

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. A group known as the Sidemen have made several diss tracks about each other due to an event known as the "Sidemen War" which was caused by a lot of internal drama within the group.

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...

RiceGum responds!

RiceGum has replied to iDubbbz Content Cop RiceGum has responded to iDubbbz content cop with his own 20 minute long video which can be found here: RiceGum comments about the content cop that was made about him in this video. He tries to defend himself with some relatively weak excuses. He says that the old videos were how he use to be when he was younger and that all of his videos are jokes, so nothing he says should be taken seriously. However it's relatively obvious that this isn't the truth. He doesn't even address over half the things which were brought up in iDubbbz content cop. Overall a really poor response from RiceGum, we'll have to check out his diss track later to see if it tops iDubbbz. - Connor
