Warning: You Should NOT Use CapCut To Edit Videos!

Stop using CapCut. Right now!

CapCut is one of those "free video editors" that caught on with online folks because:

1- it was free

2 - it was easy to use

It was one of those new "thingys" that was popping up everywhere for the last couple of years and you were being told "You GOTTA use this!" to make ALL your videos! It has layering, and all the other bells and whistles sure to entice novice video makers and newbie editors to download CapCut.

But then. Some of the "free options" that made this free app so appealing suddenly migrated over to the "paid option".

It's still good, it's still good, we all told ourselves.

Then we found out that CapCut was from the good people at BiteDance who are the Chinese company behind TikTok and the United States has been giving that company a big old case of the stink eye for allegedly giving users' data to the Chinese government. This has proven to be almost an open wound in the eyes of many US observers as TikTok continues to grow in users numbers and the online YT types have embraced the website.

But how is this CapCut's problem? CapCut and TikTok both answer to BiteDance and they answer to the Chinese government. Make of that what you will. The urgent problem with CapCut is that they've just changed their Terms of Service.

Well, watch this video from Top Music Attorney (who has some good videos) called "CapCut Exposed: Terms of Service - Don't Use Until You Watch This".

See? Its a bit more serious than you thought. They can sell you down the river and there's not much you can do about it. All, ALL of your right and protections are given to CapCut forever. Your likeness. Your address etc. It can be sold, transfered or given to anyone they want and you get zero back as compensation. All your work, everything goes to CapCut.

Tobuscus And iJustine Are Dating?! Dispelling The Rumors

Image
"Intro of darkness, then redness, then whiteness! What?! Audience? What are you doing staring at iJustine ?" No, that's not how this latest video from Toby Turner (aka Tobuscus ) could have started but it may as well have. Recently Toby and iJustine have been seen together in several of each other's videos and that of course set tongues wagging and sent the Youtube rumor mill into a frenzy: "Have you heard that iJustine is seeing Tobuscus?" and "Toby Turner is dating IJ?!", so they made the video below, with their little Youtube love child: Yeah, like THAT'S going to dispel the rumors lol. iJustine and Toby went shopping for babies? When Toby was vlogging he mentioned that she had vlogged "the same thing" just before he did, so if IJ does post her version of the parking lot baby fiasco I will post it on here as well so we can get her story. But I think this will be the end of it. After all IJ is my secret Internet girlfriend (so s...

You Missed Out On Dave Days & KimmiTalks On BlogTV Last Night

Image
I don't usually go on BlogTV.com very much, but I did really early this morning after DaveDays tweeted that he was going to be on the website and would be playing a new song. He had a pretty girl beside him (no surprise there) but I didn't recognize her. She said her name was Kimmi and that she was from Australia. ( BlogTv went the way most early 2010s vlogging platforms did, bought and merged with YouNow in 2013 and but then YouNow's audience evaporated, disappearing to sites like Twitch by around 2017 .) I did a quick check on Youtube and found her pretty quickly. She is kimmismiles and she had been on YouTube for just over a year and has 27 videos to date. (She stopped posting on YT around 2015, was on Instgram until Covid hit then stopped posting). Unfortunately the broadcast probably won't be showing up in Dave's archives for his account at blogtv.com/people/davedays because of the song he and Kimmi listened to, but you might want to sub to his BlogTV ch...
