Once again it seems Team 10's main man Jake Paul is surrounded in Youtube controversy as the 'Everyday Bro' fallout continues and doesn't look like going away any time soon.
The song went viral, mostly for the wrong reasons of appearing obnoxious and cringe worthy, but since then an interesting twist has emerged.
As ever, Youtuber Ricegum was quick to emerge and teamed up with Jake Paul's ex-girlfriend, Alissa Violet to create a diss song, 'Every Night Sis'. The song was basically dissing Jake Paul and Team 10 whilst using the beat of the 'Everyday Bro' song.
This is where things get interesting, as according to Jake Paul, when being interviewed by 'The Hollywood fix', he claimed that he "claimed the views on it" and that he'd "buy a new car with it", meaning he has the monetisation of the video, which is definitely a possibility as the song may have used his original 'Everyday Bro' instrumental without his permission.
Interestingly the song is still up on Ricegum's channel, which currently sits at nearly 30 million views and counting. In other words, if Jake Paul is true, he may well be able to buy a new car from the monetisation. Elsewhere, Ricegum could theoretically remove the channel, but it also acts as good promotion for himself, so even though the two are 'enemies', it may be of mutual benefit for the video to stay as it is, earning Jake Paul money and Ricegum more of a following.

Anita Sarkeesian vs Sargon of Akkad - the beef continues...part 1093
This week took yet another turn in the ongoing feud between Youtube critic Sargon of Akkad and feminist Anita Sarkeesian.
For those out of the loop, the beef began a few years ago when Sarkeesian controversially raised over $100,000 to critique video games with a feminist slant. This drew a response from Sargon of Akkad who claimed her ideas were poorly researched and relatively baseless.
It has all been covered before and probably won't be the end of their feud. In short, Sargon of Akkad is critical of Anita Sarkeesian's feminist critique on general society and culture, whilst she claims he constantly attacks feminism. It goes on and on.
Anyway, fast forward to Vidcon - this time Sarkeesian was on a 'women’s panel' panel giving a speech about why women's voices still needed to be heard. In other words, she was giving a feminist speech yet again. This time, she spotted her long-term rival Sargon of Akkad sitting in the front row. She then turned the critique towards him, calling him a 'shit head' and 'garbage human' in front of the audience.
Since the event, both individuals have continued their war of words - Sarkeesian basically saying that Sargon is harassing her and Sargon's point is that she is not open to reasonable debate or critique and constantly plays the victim (based on the Vidcon video, he may well have a point).
With this continuing, there is certainly some irony involved; both of them will probably disagree with each other until death, both of them claim the other one criticises the other one for attention and ironically every time one mentions the other, it creates more publicity for the pair of them. At this point it seems that neither individual is aware of the rolling story which keeps going in circles - they both hate each other and disagree immensely with their opposing ideas, but neither are willing to let it go. Something tells us, it will not be the last time these two clash.

Instagram 'model' Christian Burns gives interview after Vidcon security guard video
If you have been living under a rock for the past week then you may have missed this video:
As seen, the instigator of the conflict is an alleged Instagram model who goes under the name 'Christian Burns'. In this video, he tells the security guard to kill himself, calls him 'blue collar as fuck' and 'fucking ugly'. He also says how he is richer than the security guard, who in turn reacts fairly calmly and in a professional manner. As you may expect, the internet has reacted badly to the behaviour of Christian Burns who comes across as a self-entitled brat.
Anyway, since then Christian came out with an interview on the Keemstar Drama Alert channel. Here he tries to justify his behaviour by saying that security guards where grappling with members of the public and treating them 'like dogs'. Of course, it is pointed out that the intention of security guards is to secure a person or building, and their job is to stop any potential conflict, even with physical force if needed.
The next 10 minutes of the interview is fairly cringe worthy, with Burns proving to be fairly inarticulate and struggling to apologise for his actions, and also trying to act as the victim to the internet backlash. The interview is concluded with himself admitting he's insecure and Keemstar then calling him out on his behaviour, to which he seems fairly speechless.
Watch the interview below and see for yourself, it has been hinted by some commentators that the Instagram career of Christian Burns may have ended before it had even truly begun, and looking at the scandal it seems that may well be the case.

Youtube's Team 10 Exposed (Alleged Nick Crompton scandal)
Recently, the Youtube super-group of vloggers, known as 'Team 10' have been rapidly gaining popularity and millions of views on the website and social media at large.
Part of this was down to the 'Everyday Bro' video from their leader Jake Paul who created a stir through his cocky persona and lack of creativity with his song lyrics.
Since then a slew of response videos followed and the Team 10 fame rose to even bigger heights - as well as infamy for being somewhat cringe worthy, nonetheless from a fame and monetary perspective, their success cannot be denied.
Going further down the Youtube rabbit hole found this clip from Instagram model 'Mick Maio' (link here: https://www.instagram.com/mickmaio/?hl=en). As seen, he is quite an attractive gent, plus his Instagram shots do seem quite homoerotic (which is relevant to the story later).
Anyway, to cut a long story short, according to his video - Mick was invited to the Team 10 house to hang out and possibly even join the outfit. Here he claims that Jake Paul was in charge of the house, that it wasn't as fun as it seemed and that the other members were not making the money which was hinted at.
So far, these claims are fairly tame. Based on his popularity it would be easy to assume that Jake Paul was the most successful and that there was a degree of sensationalism behind their videos...to think otherwise would be somewhat naive.
However, the most shocking part of the video is when Maio claimed that Team 10 CEO Nick Crompton came on to him via text messages, and pestered him if he could 'suck his dick'. In short, Maio goes on to claim that Crompton (a known homosexual) wanted sexual favours for Maio to enter the house and therefore elevate his career. Maio claimed that after he rejected his advances, he was thrown out of a party, their relationship soured and he left (it is worth noting that Maio is a heterosexual, so you can see how things could become uncomfortable).
Anyway, it is very important to state that these are merely the words of Maio himself and none of this is fact or proven - but merely based on his own self-published video entitled 'Truth about Team 10'. This video can be viewed below and viewers can come to their own conclusions.
