Yet another annoying "prankster" has been arrested. This time it was a guy named Kyle Vasquez from Long Island, NY, who went by the name of TommyTuffKnuckles on TikTok where he had around 112K followers (here's his Instragram although he now has zero posts: TommyTuffKnuckles ) who has been charged a couple of weeks back for allegedly breaking into people's house, committing property damage and filming himself being a dumb*ss and posting it all over TikTok and this story just came up in my YouTube feed courtesy of Atozy who posted it just a few hours ago. Take a look and weep for our future. And Vasquez is trying to get his followers to pay the court costs for his trial. Hopefully no one will be donating to his GoFundMe because it's time for him to realize when you F Around, you Find Out. This guy is just one of a long line of nuisance content producers masquerading as some kind of edgy prankster but like the recent case of Vitaly who faces 10 years in a Phi...

I watched this absolute brainworm of a video called Nicolas Cage Wants Cake by (the one and only) Harry Partridge years and years ago and it STILL slaps after being uploaded 15 years ago. So I'm offloading it from my head to yours. Hopefully it'll fester in your brain like it has for me too. Watch. And enjoy. I know, WTF did I just watch?! As I mentioned at the top, this little animated ditty came from the fevered brow of Harry Partridge, who along with this gem (which has 17 million views), has provided his loyal viewers a bunch of animated videos. Go to his channel for the adventures of the Starbarians (Kilgar and Hogstrong) and many, many more animated videos. Just in case you're wondering where this twisted animator got the idea for the video above, its based on the clip below from the 2000 movie The Family Man (with Nicolas Cage and Téa Leoni). "Ta-daaa!" - Nick Cage. This video by Partridge started a whole series of copycats who used it to produce...

Everyone who dreams of making a fortune online uploading to YouTube, Instagram or TikTok is interested when someone with monetized content gives you a peek at how much YouTube pays them and True Crime With Alex just uploaded a video showing us how a youtuber, with 10,000-plus subscribers and 393 videos, is doing. Alex, based in Romania, has been uploading videos consistently for almost three years since August 2022 and she has been concentrating on the "True Crime" niche. Whether crime videos interest you or not, sticking with a niche like this is one of those things all those gurus spout off about (before they try to sell you their course you "have to have to make money online and be successful"), but it can work if you put in the work. True Crime videos can do well, and doing the research shows they pay fairly well if you attract the right audience or market. Just ask Ray William Johnson , who has been posting feverishly about True Crime in recent years with hu...

Looks like someone's using someone else's YouTube content without their consent or permission. What's that called again? Freebooting? Content theft? Well let's take a look at the video first before we level such accusations against someone. The video is called "TOP "Bruce Identity Revealed" Reactions! Batman Begins (2005) Movie Reaction" and it was uploaded today, July 17, 2025 by a youtuber reaction compilation curator with the channel named First Time Watching who has uploaded 715 videos and amassed about 74,000 subscribers and over 57 million views since he started his channel, I don't know, probably years ago if he's posted over 700 video, right? Nope. He created this channel January 2024, so he has been cranking these videos out since then. Looking at his upload schedule the Batman reaction video is the 17th video posted in the last 7 days, so you know our guy has been grinding out the content. Its like he's a machine! Am I righ...

Now this is the type of video I like, where the person uploading the video has something say. This first video was posted back in August 2023 but it still has relevance today. Its from The Act Man , a youtuber quickly closing in on two million subscribers, who has 415 videos on his channel and will be celebrating his 10 year anniversary on YT in two days time, uploading his numero uno video back on June 15, 2015 (congrats!). His bread and butter is usually gaming content but he's not adverse to calling out bad actors online and this was what he was doing on this video. He did balance things out by acknowledging some better reaction content (old H3H3 , and the new, at the time, JJJacksfilms ) but he had to give the stink eye to some other youtubers with "less than stellar" reaction content. So a little recognition and kudos to a longtime youtuber for their hard work. But let's take a gander at this video I mentioned earlier. Its called "The Dark Side of R...

Dunno if you know, but freebooting the content of other creators is wrong. What's this "freebooting" you're talking about? Well, basically it is downloading a video someone else made and re-uploading without the original creator's permission and usually without their knowledge and getting paid. Basically its the theft of the intellectual property of others for one's own gain. Many channels make use of this nefarious activity to divert views from the person who posted the video (on TikTok, YouTube or one of many platforms) and slapping on monetization so you get paid, because Daddy needs to buy that new car, bay-bee! I've noticed some of the videos of Soggy Cereal , a YouTube creator with a sweet audience of 314K who has been posting since November 2022. He has 59 videos up as of today and points out examples of alleged plagiarism, fraud and your usual scam artists. Not just YouTube drama but he's trying to shed some much needed light into some of t...
