How LIFE HACKS ruined the Internet.

Life Hacks as a genre has seen a huge evolution in the past several years, with channels like 5-MinuteCrafts, So Yummy or Troom Troom, prompting many critics and even more parody videos and people roasting the objectively terrible videos these channels have been putting out. Despite all backlash, though, channels like 5-Minute Crafts continue to skyrocket, TheSoul Publishing (the company running the channel) becoming just this October, the number one media company in the world, topping Disney, Viacom and WarnerMedia. With over 70M subscribers and 19B views, 5MinuteCrafts proves the unfortunate truth, that the algorithm doesn't reward quality, but quantity. And when it's quantity over quality, when content farms get more spotlight than actual content creators, the creative market suffers. Today we talk about this phenomenon, and more.

So true... I used a song from one of my art videos onto one of my gaming videos and I got a copyright claim. Now, I don't care about copyright claims on my channels, because I don't really have an interest in making money or getting big. Just making videos is what's fun to me, it's a hobby I enjoy, but what was irritating was how I didn't get a copyright claim on my art video, but I did get it on my gaming video when I used very same song... There has been times where I've used music or songs that are altered, pitched, distorted, or say "royalty free non-copyright free to use", so I use them and yet I still get a copyright claim. But a bigger channel can use altered or pitched music and make loads of money off that video. Like bruh... What...

Or the platform: Let's not rush to censor this material because this channel has a good history, and attractive to the clientele market in ads revenue.

[@Gir0Fan0Number01]

I'd vote both are the majority blame holders. Some does fall to parents for not consistantly checking what their kids consume, but children can also go out of there way to watch things their no supposed to, if they try. But the content creators aren't checking their content to be sure it's got proper disclaimers, and that safety is being encouraged, especially with the more risky "hacks". And KZbin, with their automated system, aren't always paying enough attention to channels that make such content, and making sure their putting disclaimers in. Or not spreading harmful content in the first place, ESPECIALLY if their going to deem these channels as appropriate for children, meaning they areore accessable for children consumption. They've punished other creators for much less, and these incidences have hit the news. There should be no excuse for them to not have their eye on them, and for not dishing out consequences when necessary.

Thinking about what you said logically: The creator is at fault for not putting warnings. However, the platform is at fault for not catching these "Life Hack" channels bending all of KZbin's rules: product disclosure, KZbin's child-guidelines, etc. The owners of So Yummy and Blossom are worse than 5-minute crafts -who promote Vodka on all their kids channels. Seriously, it's a wonder that they have a platform

[@wilh3lmmusic]

In the US, if KZbin really is a platform, it cannot be held liable (section 230). However, it still has some moderation, enough that it can and should take 5 min crap down

Yeah, but the thing is that channels like that make youtube TONS of money, so they don't want to ban them.

[@aylasiddiqui7485]

I feel like 5-minute crafts are mostly to blame. I had been watching their videos years before, eventually forgot about them, and recently watched another one. I never tried them since I usually didn't have the required items or the craft didn't interest me, but I wasn't aware that there were such dangerous supposed life hacks on that channel. In my opinion, I believe that the fault lies primarily with the channel, since I think children are a big part of the viewers. I myself was very young at the time that I was interested in this channel, and even though I considered myself a pretty mature kid, I'm sure I would have trusted the video without second thoughts and possibly ended up injured as a result. Had this channel been made for and featured a lot of sarcasm, then that's a different story, but the videos are explicitly made to be tried by viewers, hence life hacks.

It shouldn’t be “for kids”, if it involves possibly dangerous activities that could be convincing the audience to replicate aswell as limited monetization possibly. It’s like Mythbusters always saying “don’t try this at home, we’re what you call professionals”

TheSoul Publishing has done other *shady* things on their other channels as well. On their channel *Bright Side,* they have posted a few videos which are quite misleading. They are especially offensive to me. I'm talking about their Titanic videos. Half of what Bright Side says in those videos are hoaxes right. They are spreading fake news and conspiracy theories about Titanic. I know this is not the most serious thing TheSoul publishing has done, but it is extremely disrespectful to the 1500 people who died on the real Titanic, and the 700 people who had to live with it for the rest of their lives. You can never trust bright side. *They are literally milking a tragedy for clickbait, views and profit.*
