How’s it going YouTube?
I’m your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing video.
Before we get started I want to know, what is the biggest lie you have ever told someone?
Let me know your answers down in the comments below.
It’s no secret that YouTubers will do things for publicity stunts or to gain more subscribers.
But there are a lot of YouTubers who have been called out for their lies and that’s
what we are going to be talking about today.
So here are the top 10 YouTubers exposed for lying.
Starting things off in at number 10 with Lele Pons.
She began her career on Vine but after the app was shut down, she started to post videos
on YouTube.
Her videos consist of practical jokes and she uses a lot of physical comedy.
She currently has 8.8 million subscribers so yeah, she’s a big deal.
Well she was under fire after she was accused of lying about donating her hair to charity.
She posted a picture of herself with freshly cut hair and she captioned it “Donated my
hair!!
First time I ever cut my hair.
What do you think?
If you look closely at the picture, the chopped hair actually looks like hair extensions,
which obviously can’t be donated.
One twitter user called her out on this and it became viral.
Zoella jumps into number 9.
The beauty vlogger has attracted more than 12 million subscribers on her main YouTube
channel and she has been a UK favourite on YouTube since her beauty and lifestyle blog
launched in 2009.
But after years of being in the spotlight, she had a major controversy scandal.
Back in 2014 she became the world’s fastest-selling debut author when her novel “Girl Online”
was released.
But this success was short lived because rumors were circulating that she didn’t even write
the book.
The publishing company later revealed that ghost writers were used and that Zoella didn’t
write the book.
She was attacked online and a lot of her fans felt betrayed because Zoella made it seem
like she was the one who wrote it.
Now in at number 8 we have Logan Paul’s color blindness.
Back in his early days on YouTube, before the suicide forest controversy, Logan made
a video called “These Glasses cured my colorblindness.”
In the video, he tells his viewers that he has a new pair of glasses that are going to
allow him to see the world in a new perspective.
He filmed himself watching a sunset and looking at his bird Mavrick and things got pretty
emotional.
But as it turns out, Logan Paul was exaggerating in the video.
He is slightly colourblind but he embellished a lot in his video and he turned his acting
skills up.
He received a lot of backlash from other large YouTubers and he even had this to say
Roman Atwood’s fake pranks trick us in at number 7.
With the potential to earn millions of dollars, YouTubers are making prank videos and Roman
Atwood is no exception.
He has earned himself the title of being one of the most popular prank channels on YouTube
because a lot of his videos go viral.
However, a lot of people have been calling Roman out, saying that he has hired actors
to be in his prank videos.
Fake or not, his video ranking doesn’t seem to suffer.
Next up we are going to be talking about the FouseyTube & RiceGum feud in at number 6.
Play the clip.
So apparently before this confrontation, these two were beefing on twitter about Fouseytube
talking behind RiceGum’s back.
Well things got escalated and Ricegum decided to punch Fousey in the face.
Once this video was uploaded onto Ricegum’s YouTube channel, everyone was talking about
how fake this seemed.
First of all, FouseyTube is twice the size of Ricegum, why would he even think about
punching him.
Secondly, as soon as Ricegum went in for the hit, the camera shook and panned up.
It was later revealed that it was all a scam and it was 100% staged.
Vitaly on steroids injects itself into number 5.
Fouseytube and Vitaly have been having a massive feud online so Fousey decided that he was
going to expose Vitaly in three separate videos.
He said he is going to expose Vitaly for his fake pranks, his steroid use and for assaulting
women in Brazil.
But let’s focus on the steroid use.
Vitaly made a video of himself titled “60 day crazy body transformation” and he claims
that it was all natural and he stuck to a strict diet and workout plan.
But Fousey had something else to say about this.
He is betting $25,000 that Vitaly is on steroids because he knows for a fact that he used to
use steroids before.
Here’s a video of Vitaly actually admitting to using steroids.
Number 4 takes us over to Fouseytube fake pranks.
No Roman Atwood isn’t the only prankster YouTuber who has been making a living by posting
fake pranks online.
One of the actors that he used in his Uber prank came forward and told the media that
she responded to an ad that she saw on Craigslist.
Fouseytube has since then made a video admitting that his prank videos are fake and that Vitaly
was the one who actually taught him how to make fake prank videos.
Joshua Paler Lin scams us in at number 3.
Homeless go fund me scam.
If you guys remember he was the Youtuber who posted that viral video of him giving a homeless
man $100 and then he followed him to see what he did with the money.
He was shocked to see that instead of buying alcohol, the homeless guy bought food for
other homeless people.
Because the video received so much attention, Joshua started a indiegogo campaign for the
homeless man and he earned over $145,000.
Well there is a lot of speculation that Josh never had any intentions of giving the homeless
man the earnings from the campaign or that Josh was planning on keeping a majority of
the earnings.
Lonelygirl15 exposed makes it into number 2.
So, as it turns out, Lonely girl wasn’t so lonely after all.
For those of you who don’t remember, Lonely girl seemed to be a typical teenage girl who
would vlog about her life in her bedroom.
But over time, things got really strange and her stories involved a cult and the disappearance
of her parents.
Well back in 2006, her fans discovered that she was actually just an actress and the whole
thing was a set up.
The series was produced by an agency, the set was fake and there were script writers.
Well, I guess it just goes to show you that you can’t believe everything you see on
the internet.
Finally in at number 1 we have Marina Joyce and her fake kidnapping.
The YouTube star claimed that she had been hacked by Isis and she became famous after
a video was uploaded onto YouTube that claimed to have proof that she was being abused and
that she had been kidnapped by Isis.
A lot of people were concerned for her safety and the hashtag #SaveMarinaJoyce went viral.
But after we found out that she was safe and in her own home, a lot of people were claiming
that it was all a hoax and it was done for publicity.
This is just so wrong, you should never joke about something like this.
Well there you guys have it…
