Wow... Where do people come up with these ideas??? If YouTube currently is cracking down on Kids channels for promoting odd activity to kids, I wonder if they will ever crack down on prank channels that promote odd activity to the public.
I think this is the real problem. The whole reason a lot of kids channels went down hill with scary clowns and bad babies was because that was the content people were watching and it would bring in the views and money. Same goes for these 'prank' videos. Shock and stupidity brings in views, so people will continue to make content like this. Creators disregard their own safety in the slim chance of finding fame.And it doesn't help that people love watching these kind of content too, which indirectly promotes the culture.
