Hey everybody!

What do you think about YouTubers like Leafy, DramaAlert, and RiceGum? Not necessarily channels that are dedicated to only talking about drama BUT channels that just make their content about other creators.

I feel like we are seeing an era of creators that just make their content, and therefore their titles and thumbnails, about other creators. It's seems like an easy way to grow since you're pulling from someone's fanbase. Is this fair?

I personally think RiceGum is decently funny but still it's kind of incredible to me how much these channels rather make content about others, rather than be original.

So what do you think about these types of channels/ their technique?
 
I don't know who they are. I refuse to give attention to people who don't need it. I'll focus on myself and helping raise others who deserve it!
I mean if they have a million views, why give them a million and one?
 
I honestly don't think RiceGum should be grouped with Leafy or DramaAlert. Leafy flat out insults and bullies random kids just because they look cringey ( said friendly before oops ), while Ricegum only drops "diss tracks" as a joke AFTER the person he made it on said something about him. He also still has tons of original content including his twitch streams and his RiceGumExtra channel and is a chill guy in general. Leafy and DramaAlert are pretty crappy dudes and I don't necessarily "dislike" them, but i'm definitely not fans. Coincidentally enough you wrote this post almost after I just finished filming that discusses Leafy for a couple minutes in more detail. If you feel like seeing it i'll probably have it uploaded somewhere around tomorrow evening.

Leafy doesn't bull people thats the humour of his channel. If anything hes giving some of the brats attention. Most people are against him for the stunt he pulled with Tommy (the autistic guy) and I will be honest and say I was annoyed too but go and look at his videos now. The people he does them on are asking for it?Honestly not to go against opinions everyone has there own its just Leafy isn't bullying anybody. Keemstar is a bully and karma will bite him in the a** tbh. Now Rice gum is same boat as leafy. There comedy means well.
 
While I don't frequent much on Leafs channel, I don't mind the humor, and at least he isn't just supporting Marina joyce like other channels. Ricegum, well I don't really know much about his channel, but there are vids showing how viewbots on twitch. If he is, then thats a horrible thing to do. Keemstar is clearly a awfull fella and well he finally has lost his channel, (well at least for now he's off youtube). Pryo, leafy and GradeAUnderA all made vids detailing the nonsense he pulls.

All of Leafy's rants call out others for doing crappy things when he does things just as crappy ( and he even admits he does in his videos so I don't understand that ). Also he calls keemstar complete scum and talks about how dramaalert is a scummy channel even though he featured on it 4 times before the whole keemstar beef which I think is bull. Keemstar is a douche yes but Leafy really has no position to be insulting anyone, even if they are worse than him.

I can understand that but heck if weren't for leaf, TommyNC would not have 100k subs he has now. It was great expoure despite the terrible threats he received before all the support. Also, Tommy seems like a genuine person and I glad that the whole ordeal helped in the end. That being, it really about having a thick skin in the end and having sense of humor about yourself always deflect any insults you might get from a channel leafys. Besides, it's free speech at the end of the day.
 
Leafy's videos have actually been getting way better recently. He actually pokes fun at himself and has upped his editing chops that were pretty much non-existant before.

Yeah I get what you mean. Like I said I don't dislike leafy ( actually used to be a huge fan ), just don't really LIKE him anymore.

If you really want to grow on YouTube a pretty simple/obvious step would be actually getting acquainted with the community you're trying to be a part of, as Leafy, RiceGum, and DramaAlert have been the huge center of youtube for the past 3-4 months.
