What is going down everyone, I’m your host Jarred Bronstein and today we’ll be taking
a look at the top 10 youtubers who faked videos for fame.
Now let me start off by saying I’m not trying to expose anyone, and if not all, majority
of the people on this list have admitted at one point their content was fake or exaggerated
for views.
I get YouTube is a business and people do what they need to do to get the views.
I just don’t like when they pretend they’re something they’re not.
Either way be sure to let us know in the comments below who on this list surprised you the most.
Did you know all of these guys faked their stuff already?
Lemme know, and let’s get into it.
Starting us off at number 10, we got Joey Salads.
Currently at 2.6 million subscribers on his youtube channel, Salads has been able to grow
himself quite the following for posting social experiment and prank videos.
Like many others on this list, Salads has admitted a ton of his videos were actually
fake.
One of his most well known videos, for the wrong reasons, was the one of him placing
a car covered in President Trump paraphernalia in a predominantly African American neighbour
hood.
In the video a group of African American men can be seen destroying the car, ripping off
the trump signs and smashing the windows.
Joey ends it by saying “As you can see from this video, the black community is very violent
towards Trump and his supporters” After a photo showed that there was an entire camera
crew filming the “social experiment” Salads received a ton of backlash, took the video
down and then reposted it after realizing there were other uploads out there.
He also pinned a comment on the video that reads “This video is Fake, But I figured
I would make it Public Again, because I see it re uploaded everywhere, and I dont want
it to seem like I am hiding from a bad past, I moved on from this and became a better person”
In at number 9, Danielle Cohn.
Now this girl seems to have a lot of controversy swirling around her.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know who she was before making this list, and now I’m
well aware that she’s a 13 year old who says she’s 15, she faked a wedding to her
best friend, and some people think she’s pregnant, while other’s claim she’s faking
that too.
I can’t say for sure about the pregnancy, but she’s on the list because of that wedding.
Danielle’s Mother, Jennifer, actually admitted she never got married and instead did it for
clickbait.
Legally in Nevada, anyone under the age of 16 needs a court order to authorize a marriage
license.
Jennifer went on to explain “She committed to her best friend in Vegas…legally they
can’t get married” and denied that this was part of some kind of stunt, saying Danielle
and her alleged husband “Are Youtubers who did something…they made a promise”.
And I can promise you, they didn’t get married.
But she did clock in over 3.7 million views on the video so maybe it was worth it in the
end?
At number 8, we’re talking about FouseyTube.
Once again, known for doing social experiments and pranks, one of the many videos Fousey
made which would go viral turned out to be staged.
In the video where Fousey pretends to be a homeless man, and instead of begging for money,
gives money to those passing him, Fousey can be seen confronting a man who was, we’ll
say, less than pleasant.
When Fousey tries to pay his meter, the man dismisses him and talks to him in a very condescending
way.
This leads to Fousey “breaking character” and telling the guy to walk away.
Although it seems like Fousey was genuinely heated, and he even tells the camera guy to
keep filming, It’s hard to believe anyone would genuinely be that evil.
Aside from that, what do you think would get more views?
A homeless man giving out all the money he has, and people feeling touched they give
him his money back and more?
Or that, plus a rude, arrogant rich guy?
Think about it.
Coming in at number 7, we got McJuggerNuts.
Now let me say, at no point did Jesse Ridgway, aka McJuggerNuts, claim any of this was real.
But for those of you that don’t know, Jesse and his family produced an insanely popular
series called Psycho Family.
It pretty much showed a dysfunctional and violent family, and had many people wondering
wether or not the series was real.
In the series, Jesse’s dad can be seen throwing his xbox console in the pool, running over
a mountain of games with a lawn mower, and a ton of other crazy stuff goes down.
In total they produced I believe about 50 episodes, and when speaking on it, Jessie
explained “I never lied.
I was playing a character.
It was not myself.
It was acting.
It was not a lie.
I never lied.
Never once…
I don’t think there was anything wrong with it.
I am done with the series.
The videos were fake.
It’s finished.”
Again, he didn’t fake anything, it was all for fun and he never claimed the content was
real.
At number 6, we got Prank Invasion.
Now this guys been known for of course making pranks.
Most notably, Chris, which is the guys name, did a handful of pranks where he would kiss
girls if, for example, he guessed within 5 years of their age.
But the video we’re talking about in this list, is the video, which he has since taken
down, showing Chris playing rock paper scissors with girls wearing hijabs.
If they lost, he would get to kiss them.
In the video, which has been uploaded by other accounts, Chris of course wins the game and
proceeds to not only make out with a woman wearing a hijab, but actually lifts up her
dress and not only gropes her, but exposes her ass.
When the model who was in the video got interviewed by Ethan, from H3H3, she explained she found
the casting on a site called Model Mayhem, and that Chris was actually quite unprofessional.
Not only did he not tell her it was going on a youtube channel, but she didn’t find
out she’d be making out with Chris until she was on set.
At number 5, we got Jake and Tana, also known as Jana.
Now I’m sure you guys know the story here, but pretty much, Jake Paul and Tana Mogeau
started allegedly dating, and about 3 months after, got married in Vegas.
I know it all seemed to happen way too fast, but here’s the kicker, no one has been able
to locate an actual marriage certificate.
Although many people didn’t believe they were dating in the first place, and the fact
that Tana was filming the wedding for her reality TV show on MTV, Tana Turns 21, some
still gave them the benefit of the doubt.
They claimed it was legit.
Logan even said he doesn’t see it lasting more than a couple months.
But to this day, no one has been able to locate a marriage certificate, so it’s safe to
say the two never actually got married.
Well, legally.
And to make matters worst, an all out brawl broke out when a strange man dumped his drink
on Tana, while she was kissing Jake.
Seems all too convenient if you ask me.
Coming in at 4, we got Coby Persin.
Now for those of you that don’t remember, Coby posted a video of him sitting on his
$200,000 BMW i8 with a buddy in the middle of a busy new york street.
In the video they got a photographer taking photos of them, and of course, tons of cars
honking and yelling.
At one point though, a man who appears to be sitting in a car behind the stopped BMW
gets out and smashes Coby’s car window with a bat before leaving.
Now there’s a few issues here.
Firstly, wouldn’t someone call the cops or at the very least, Coby file a police report
? Secondly, it’s pretty convenient it was being filmed no?
And thirdly, well Gold Pranks TV, a smaller prank channel exposed Coby when they pointed
out the man who smashed his windshield, was also seen in the background of one of Coby’s
snapchat videos posted earlier in the day.
Coby would then take down his video, and upload a new one a few days later, admitting it was
all a prank.
At number 3, we got one of Youtube’s OG pranksters, Vitaly.
Now Vitaly of course has been known for making tons of pranks, which eventually lead to him
getting a movie with Roman Atwood.
One of Vitaly’s pranks, which turned into a series, were his gold digger videos.
For those of you that don’t know, Vitaly would pull up on girls in a beat up car, asked
them out and get rejected.
He’d return in a luxurious car, for example, a lambo, and their attitudes would completely
change.
He’d then drive off and call them a gold digger and laugh.
Although I don’t think any of them are real, one that was definitely exposed was his Batman
Gold Digger prank.
Same concept, only difference is Vitaly dressed as Batman and got rejected by an attractive
blonde woman, until she found out he drives a batmobile.
Turns out this woman is a Russian model, and when Vitaly was exposed, he took the video
down from his account.
Now at number 2, Jaystation.
This guy seems to be the king of clickbait, but he’s doing something right.
He’s got 4.6 million subscribers, and it seems like the people just keep coming back
for more.
He’s known for buying a ton of things off the dark web, and also speaking with those
who have recently passed, most recently Mac Miller.
The fact that he uses people’s death for views hasn’t been received lightly, and
he’s also known for making 3 AM videos, and 24 hour challenges which have since been
revealed as fake.
More specifically, back in 2016 Jay posted a video claiming he had to stop doing the
24 hour challenges because he could get arrested for trespassing.
About 2 weeks later he made a video which allegedly showing him spending 24 hours in
a strangers house.
Seems illegal to me.
Of course, the cops looked into it, and revealed to the news that it was a hoax, and he got
help from the tenants of the house.
More specifically, Staff Sgt.
Mike Haarbosch says police have "essentially since confirmed that the whole matter was
staged.”
Coming in at our number 1 spot, Adam Saleh.
Now for those of you that don’t remember, Adam went insanely viral after he posted a
video claiming Delta Airlines kicked him and his friend off of their flight after they
were heard speaking in Arabic.
Of course, a story like that would be picked up by every news station, and it was.
The likes of USA Today, Entertainment Tonight and BBC all covered the story.
Delta claimed they were removed for being reckless and disruptive to other passengers.
Three sides to a story, his, hers, and the truth.
But shortly after, it turned out a passenger on the flight came forward and broke down
what really happened.
Apparently Adam and his pal were yelling something across the plane in Arabic and filming passengers
for a reaction.
After doing it twice and being told to stop, they continued.
Eventually other travellers got annoyed and the two were asked to be removed from the
plane.
Not because of the language they spoke, but because they were being disruptive and didn’t
stop when asked by the airlines.
Safe to say defacing an entire Airline for views, and calling them out for being racist
is good enough to get the top spot on this list.
And there you guys have it.
The top 10 youtubers who have faked a video for fame.
