Subject: End of an Era - YouTube to Ban Stunt Videos

Written By: LyricBoy on 01/16/19 at 5:42 pm

Well it looks like the killjoys at YouTube are going to have their way and ban videos of whatever they determine to be "dangerous pranks".

Pretty soon you will not be able to tune into YouTube to watch guys take massive nutshots, or people of all ages becoming human blowtorches by igniting their flatulence.  :-\\

Eh, I personally don't mind since I don't watch this kind of stuff since I'm like 16 or so?

I guess they're banning them because it's become too much of a problem.

I'm sure this will hit the Paul brothers and Team 10 pretty hard.

But seriously, I really don't like this and it's one more step for YouTube away from its roots.

Yup, seems like we’re off to a new era! Late 2018 feels different compared to what Early 2018 felt like. Trap music is still big, but not as big as it was in mid 2018. YouTubers like the Paul brothers on the other hand, are popular and all, but there are YouTubers like MrBeast and Fortnite streamers like Ninja and Tfue being popular, and might take over their popularity in late 2019. Also, in pop music, new artists like Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Post Malone, and lots of new pop artists are overshadowing Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber’s popularity. Fortnite is still dominant, but it’s just hard to play nowadays, and new games like Battlefield 5 and Black Ops 4 are taking over. But mid 2019 will do the HUGE shift, when Disney movies like Lion King and Toy Story 4 will be popular, and shows like Game of Thrones and Big Bang thoery are gonna end. Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber have already faded in the background, while Posty, Dua, and Halsey are the pop megastars, and Ava Max would also be popular.

Yeah just because YouTube tries to ban one very specific type of video means that the whole pop culture will shift...
