“YouTube is not a site for people under 13,” YouTube spokesman Farshad Shadloo told the Washington Post.[1] Perhaps not, but kids programming is the most popular category on the platform. In fact, four of the top five US channels feature kid content.[2]

In a USA Today article, YouTube was quoted as saying, “If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use the service. There are lots of other great websites for you. Talk to your parents about what sites are appropriate for you.”[3]

Thanks to Netflix, COVID-19 stay-at-home orders are a little more bearable. On March 20, 2020, the uber-popular streaming service released Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness, and the world hunkered down for its next binge-watch.

Tiger King features Joe Exotic, founder of Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park (aka, G.W. Zoo), who is now serving 22 years for a murder-for-hire scheme. He was also found guilty of falsifying wildlife records and for violating the Endangered Species Act at his ...

The coronavirus is impacting every person on the planet: wealthy or destitute, famous or unknown. Can mankind truly unite in its terror and suffering? While it’s nice to hope that a crisis as horrific as COVID-19 can bring the world together, it may make our differences all the more obvious.

In December 2019, Perry collaborated with mukbangers Stephanie Soo and Zach Choi (Nos. 8 and 1 on our list). Days later, Soo posted, “Why I am Scared of Nikocado Avocado.” Detailing Perry’s “abusive” behavior, it has been viewed nearly 10 million times. Soo’s cancel video instigated a series of back-and-forth videos between the two mukbangers. Fans overwhelmingly sided with Soo against Perry.
Zach Choi is a superstar among mukbangers. He’s the exception on this list as his reputation is that ...

Conspiracy theories are nothing new, but the way these theories evolve and spread is changing. Take QAnon, for example. QAnon is a series of mostly right-wing ideas surrounding the deep state and its plan to destroy the Trump presidency to protect the Clintons, the Democrats, the media, and the billionaires who control them.
It got its start on 8Chan (the bigger badder brother of 4Chan) which has now re-opened as the new 8Kun after 8Chan was forcibly shut down when it was discovered that Bren...

In January 2019, BuzzFeed laid off more than 200 workers across the nation. The way they approached the layoffs infuriated many of the workers and shined a new spotlight on paid time off laws in the U.S.
