When YouTubers went too far for a video.

Below is a list of YouTubers went too far for a video

  1. ImJayStation fabricated the death of his girlfriend to get more subscribers. 
    Jason Ethier, aka ImJayStation, revealed in January 2020 that he had faked the death of YouTuber Alexia Marano to increase his subscribers on the website.
  2. ReSet was sentenced to prison for an Oreo toothpaste joke. 
    YouTuber Kanghua Ren, also identified as ReSet, was sentenced to 15 months in jail and was fined $22,300 after he filmed himself handing over a homeless man and Oreo filled with toothpaste instead of cream. The Court of Barcelona found him guilty of abusing the “the moral integrity of his prank victim”
  3. YouTubers are accused of facilitating a fraud. 
    This past year, YouTubers such as Shane Dawson, Philip DeFranco, and h3h3Productions have supported BetterHelp, an online counseling service that promises to offer competent and affordable therapy. Shane and Philip shared, among other popular YouTubers, that BetterHelp is like getting a counselor or therapist, just in the comfort of your home by phone or online. But what seemed like an easy-to-use, supportive app could actually be a big scam.
  4. Beauty vloggers slammed for racist remarks. 
    Tensions within the YouTube Beauty community have been at an all-time high this year—and they’re all about none other than Jeffree Star. While Jeffree has been involved in A LOT of feuds in the past, his beef with Laura Lee, Gabriel Zamora, and Manny MUA may have been his most dramatic (and complicated) yet. After Shane Dawson’s documentary on Jeffree was dropped in August, Gabriel shaded Jeffree, making racist remarks from 10 years earlier. In retaliation, Jeffree fans noticed derogatory tweets from Gabriel, Manny, Nikita, and Laura. As a result, Gabriel, Manny, and Laura have all shared their own remorseful apology videos.
  5. A dead body was filmed by Logan Paul. 
    The biggest YouTube controversy ever—as far as public indignation is concerned—was Logan’s video from the end of 2017/beginning of 2018, showing an individual who had committed suicide in Japan’s Aokigahara, a.k.a. the “suicide forest.”
