Ed Sheeran becomes first UK musician to crack 40 million Youtube subscribers

Today has marked a new milestone for Ed Sheeran who can't seem to stop breaking records. As of today (July 2019) he now has the most subscribers for any UK musician.

In fact, he is the most subscribed to musician in the world...except for one individual. As you may have guessed, Justin Bieber is currently #1 with over 45 million subs which isn't bad for a 25 year old.
However, recently Sheeran has been gaining on Bieber who is less active with his music these days so potentially Sheeran could gain the most subs for a musician in the world!

Belle Delphine trolls horny fans with fake porn - and puts up weird video with octopus

So, admittedly we're a bit late to the whole Belle Delphine story - but it's so good that it's worth telling in all its details and weird glory.

To summarise, Belle Delphine is internet-famous, with over 3 million Instagram followers and nearly 4000 patreon subscribers (subscribers pay $1 per month up to $2,500 per month...not bad work for a 20 year old when you think about it)

So, who is she and what does she do? In short Belle Delphine puts out sexual images based around cosplay, i.e. wearing a bikini whilst bending over...with pink hair. You get the idea, and her Instagram is full of stuff like this - which is why her thousands of Patreon followers are willing to donate - if you pay $50 per month for example you get to see her 'lewd' Snapchat.

Anyway, back in June she trolled her followers claiming she would upload a porn film if she got over 1 million likes on an Instagram post...which got to 2 million very quickly. After this, she then linked to Pornhub, claiming cream pie videos, Pewdiepie titles and the rest - but it was all a prank. The cream pie video was that of a literal cream pie and Pewdiepie going 'inside' her was literally Belle eating a printed photograph of him.
The result was interesting to say the least, with hordes of her followers claiming to be angry, mad and let down that they were lead on - genuinely believing she had released pornographic material.

Not only this, but further capitalising on the hype she released a bizarre Youtube video where she hangs out with a dead octopus with stick-on wobbly eyes. The whole thing is odd to say the least and has to be seen to believed.

Overall, she is proving successful in terms of marketing and creating awareness for her image. At the same time part of you wonders whether she will have much dignity left by the time it is worth it.

Jojo Siwa's makeup recalled in US due to containing asbestos

Popular Youtube icon Jojo Siwa is like many Youtube stars who have branched out offline to increase their profit. In this case Jojo has started selling make-up kits, which have proved financially successful by the likes of Jeffree Star and James Charles.

Anyway, the 16 year old Siwa has had to recall the makeup kits due to some containing samples of asbestos. For those unaware, asbestos can prove fatal if inhaled by humans and can lead to cancer. So, obviously when an item is found with asbestos traces it has to be recalled immediately and destroyed in a safe environment.

Eugenia Cooney is back with a new image.

A few months ago we did a piece on Youtube star Eugenia Cooney and the concerned Youtube creators who claimed she was unhealthy with an eating disorder. Here, many of the commentary circled around her possible eating disorder and unhealthy looking weight.

Well, today we have good news as a new image has surfaced showing Eugenia looking a lot healthier and also happier. This comes months after she went on a break from social media and claimed she was working with her doctor to get healthier.

Youtuber Lance Stewart releases cringe inducing song 'Lost' - Youtube reacts badly

This week, US Youtube creator Lance Stewart released a song called 'Lost' which to put nicely is pretty damn cringe-worthy.

Racking up nearly 3 million views in just under a week - the video has a like to dislike ratio of 120k to 104k...which speaks volumes. Not only this, but the comments are not nice - most saying how it is an awful song, how it is cringey and just plain garbage.
But, it seems Stewart is only using this to add to his promotion as the video got onto Youtube's trending page and he also did two follow up reaction videos - which mean more promotion and ultimately more money as a result.

For those wondering, just watch the video. If low budget, bad singing and corny lyrics are your thing - the great. If not, you may want to avoid. However, the sad thing is this isn't the first in terms of Youtubers making bad music videos - a trend which kicked off about 2 years ago when they realised they could be quite profitable (remember Everyday Bro by Jake Paul?)

Further to this, Stewart is no stranger to cringe moments on the site - as he found fame with his seance videos, claiming he was being haunted be a demonic spirit which he had unleashed by playing with a ouija board. So, in terms of his depths for views you could argue that 'Lost' is actually quite tame by his previous standards.

Spanish Youtuber ReSet jailed and fined €20,000 for homeless Youtube prank

Two years back, a Spanish Youtube creator named ReSet did a prank involving a homeless man, in the prank he gave him Oreos which were filled with toothpaste instead of the typical sugary filling. Allegedly, this caused the homeless man to vomit and arguably more importantly it would have caused humiliation for the victim too.

This week, a judge in Barcelona sentenced ReSet to 15 months in jail, as well as being fined €20,000 and also a 5 year social media ban - which means no Youtube for 5 years.
In terms of Youtube shame, this is pretty out there for some of the low things people will do for views - and also proves that pranks can have negative effects on the victims when they are created.
It also sets a precedent in Spain for pranksters to think twice about their actions, but sadly this isn't the first time a Youtube creator has gone to prison for a prank...and probably won't be the last either.

For those wondering, the original video has long since been deleted from the platform.

JaackMaate calls out Morgz

This week has seen the UK Youtube commentator JaackMaate go after fellow compatriot Morgz for his general cringe-inducing behaviour.

And it's not just Morgz who is being looked at, it's also his mother who is in on the Youtube cash-cow act, as she too has over 3 million subscribers and a healthy viewer count.

So, what is wrong with Morgz?
As highlighted by JaackMaate in his video, Morgz may be only be 17 years old but he is somewhat unbearable at times in front of the camera. For instance, his constant flexing in the 'Billionaire challenge' video is irritating at best. Not only this, but he also constantly shouts, has cheesy (un-ironic) sound affects, begs for subs, constantly plugs his merch and has awfully acted scripts which are blatantly made up.

For instance, Jaack shows a game by Morgz where he plays a game with is mother, where rolling a number 5 on the dice means a punishment. Of course that number is then landed on and his mother acts overly dramatic with her reaction.

This is typical of Morgz who has made millions of dollars from Youtube according to SocialBlade. But his antics don't stop there, as highlighted by fellow commentator Memelous, Morgz also did a joint video with his mother, here she hid in his hotel room whilst he started making out with his girlfriend...as his mother was under the bed. You get the picture. Watch the video and see for yourselves, words probably won't do it justice.
