So let's pick up where I left off yesterday. This should be short so if it bores you....read it anyway. I'm looking at you, Mr./Mrs. 65 year old! Alright let's get started.
So who are the Viners? Well we all know about Twitter. A few years ago, Twitter had an app called Vine. On the app, people could make 6 second videos of whatever they wanted. And in doing this, a lot of people gained a lot of followers due to their creative, funny Vines.
But all good things must come to an end. Just a few years ago, Vine shut down. This left tons of content creators without a platform. Thus began the great Viner migration. They took to Instagram, Twitch, and of course, YouTube.
This was not good. "But Anthony, they're just like YouTubers right? They both make videos and have an audience. So what is the big deal?" Shhhhhh. Just Shhhh. Just listen.
Enter: the Paul brothers. Jake, and Logan Paul are two guys from Ohio who used to be Viners. Now they're YouTubers. But what happens when you give two twenty year olds the ability to make millions of dollars? Trash. Trash happens. These two guys are what is wrong with YouTube right now. They have no morals or care for other people in general. What's the big deal? The big deal is that your children are watching these guys. Their fanbase is mostly 9-12 year olds. So be cautious. For the sake of your child. DO NOT LET HIM/HER IDOLIZE THESE PEOPLE.
If you don't believe me, just read up on some of the things these two have done. Logan has filmed an actual dead body, hanging by a noose I might add, and posted it on YouTube. Jake has set fire to furniture in his backyard swimming pool, endangering the lives of not only his friends, but his neighbors as well. They are not good people.
So that's all I have for today. Like I said, short. Good Evenin is back on Monday so tune in to it! And I hope I've helped our mystery elder in learning more about what the kids are watching nowadays. Bye
