The presenter of the renowned drama channel DramaAlert, Keemstar was in the heat of drama
this year ironically, not too long ago for racism, paedophilia and bullying. Keemstar
was accused of making a 16-year-old girl get naked to showcase pieces of paper covering
her private parts with the message, “I love Keemstar.” Keemstar was also accused of
bullying lots of people through his livestreams where he would send his fans to go hate on
people that he did not like. And furthermore, probably the more notable drama was his racial
slurs where he constantly used the “n” word multiple times. Although Keemstar released
a video explaining how these accusations were fake, he still receives a lot of hate on his
videos even to this date.

I think we all remember the drama that occurred with The Fine Bros earlier on this year, regarding
the word: “React.” Having established their dominance over the reaction video format,
The Fine Bros registered a trademark application for the word, “React.” However, this did
not go too well with the fans, as many YouTube channels reacting to videos got taken down
because it was deemed to be copying the concept of The Fine Bros React series. This lead to
The Fine Bros receiving lots of hate on their videos and ultimately lost them over 2 million
subscribers! Ouch!
YouTubers, TmarTn and ProSyndicate, promoted a Counter Strike gambling site where players
could gamble their skins in attempt to win all the skins other players deposited in a
pot, which could be worth a lot of money. The whole drama that arose from the CS GO
Lotto issue was a result of TmarTn and ProSyndicate not originally claiming that this so called
site they were promoting was a sponsorship deal, even though it turned out that both
of them actually owned the website. This therefore breaks FTC guidelines which means as they
did not claim their website as a sponsorship, this essentially means the two of them could
be running this website as a scam even though that this is not their intended purpose. It
also didn’t help that TmarTn was posting videos of him winning $8800+ in skins on his
own website. That certainly doesn’t seem fishy at all…
19-year-old YouTuber, Marina Joyce, became the centre of attention on YouTube when fans
noticed that in one of her videos she was acting very peculiar. The video titled: “Date
Outfit Ideas” suggested that she had been abducted and was being forced to follow orders
from the figure behind the camera. Throughout the video, she appears to whisper “help
me,” while showcasing her clothes. This caused the Met Police to get involved to check
if Marina was in a safe environment. They later released a tweet which said: “Officers
have visited YouTube user Marina Joyce. She is safe and well.” Whether or not this was
a huge publicity stunt on her behalf, this amassed her a huge following as she went from
about 500,000 subscribers to 2 million subscribers overnight.
