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...

Picture from 2007 courtesy of Wayback Machine What were you doing in August 2007? Were you even on Youtube either as someone who watched the videos of others or were you one of the few who uploaded clips and got listed in this Top 100 from August 5, 2007? Look at the numbers these people had just 4 short years ago and compare them with the millions of subscribers that the Top 100 Most Subscribed have today and you can see the astounding growth this website has generated. How many of these channels do you remember and how many are still actively uploading videos? Each channel can still be found by the links provided unless they have been closed which is the case for some of them.

When Will Ray William Johnson Pass Nigahiga As Most Subscribed On Youtube?

Image
I don't think there is any personal animosity between Ray and Ryan and don't want to promote any ill feelings between the two. I've never asked one of them about the other (I don't know either personally) and I haven't seen any comment, good, bad or indifferent, made by either one about the other guy's numbers either. Both of their channels have their good and bad points, as well as fans who love everything they do. No doubt there are hundreds of thousands subscribed to both guys because they put out interesting content. All I'm saying is that there's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. I don't think they will get into a pissing contest or anything (we used to have those at our family reunions. Grandma would always win, but that's a story for another time). I'm sure they are probably looking at each other's number of subscribers, but they're probably more worried about what they are going to post next week rat...
