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.
