No longer just for cat videos, YouTube has seen the rise of different communities as more and more people are gaining access to video editing software and finding a niche for their passions. Logging into YouTube, one can find videos on cars, do-it-yourself projects, makeup, hair, cover bands and so much more. Even celebrities have been discovered off YouTube. Lately, there's been a rise in channels dedicated to "exposing" the shadiness of the so-called YouTube "famous" and I've been watching these channels non-stop; they're so interesting you can't look away. Here are my top four favorite YouTube scandals that have been exposed.
1. Why Is Tana Mongeau Homeless Now?- Karina Kaboom
Tana Mongeau is an 18-year-old YouTuber who has landed herself in hot water several times on YouTube due to her lies and exaggerations. This is just the latest installment in her online antics. Karina Kaboom is raising the real questions in this video while providing an adequate backstory in case you haven't been following along with the saga (but you totally should be if you enjoy drama).
2. The Full Gabbie Show and RiceGum Attack Story! (both sides) by Trending Now
I feel like everyone in the world has heard of this story by now because of the people involved. Twitter was ablaze with RiceGum going after Gabbie and Gabbie clapping back at RiceGum over an alleged incident at a party. I, personally, am inclined to believe Gabbie (and this is the video that makes me believe her) because I believe there's so much evidence against RiceGum that's it's overwhelming. Want to know the full story with both sides? Check it out above.
3. Disclose Your Affiliate Referral Links...It's the Law!!! Part 1 by Here for the Tea
Here for the Tea gives her viewers the inside look into everything-- and she's been credited with beauty influencers updating their disclaimers in the info box. She goes through all the ins and outs of what's going on while offering easy to read screenshots for the viewers to help make up their minds about what the truth is.
4. Don't You Want to be a "Kult" Leader?: John Kuckian Edition by Subversive Wallflower
This has got to be my favorite drama video done by, what I would consider, a non-drama channel. John Kuckian is a drama channel that has been surrounded by scandal, allegations of charity fraud and claims that he's called other people's jobs in order to get them fired. Members of what he calls his "kucki-fam" tend to rally around him and buy whatever products he pedals. This video likens Kuckian to a cult leader and it's done in a fantastic way that will actually alarm you and open your eyes.
