not to be Too Serious or whatever but i genuinely think channels like 5minutecrafts and shit like that should be wholesale banned from publishing content. a lot of this shit has moved from being just flat out fake to being genuinely dangerous? i just got recommended a 5minutecrafts makeup video that showed someone using deodorant to dissolve the ink off of a magazine page and use the inky deodorant slime as eyeshadow. like... what if some little kid does that shit and blinds themselves? that’s the issue is that these videos are targeted at little kids who don’t know any better and yeah parents should be monitoring their kids blah blah blah but the fact is that a lot of parents fucking DONT and even the ones who do can’t be there every second. kids shouldn’t be given easy access dangerous influences just because their parents SHOULD be keeping a better eye on them
like this shit has progressed from like “haha you can make a phone case out of a flip flop!” and “wear some shitty hot glue and sand jewelry!” to “put inky deodorant or oreos mixed with vaseline on your eyes for make up!” and “look what happens when you make slime with nail polish remover!” and it’s FRIGHTENING. it’s not just stupid ugly shit anymore, it’s genuinely dangerous stuff that can get kids in trouble and it’s only getting worse
Or the video of them showing how to bleach strawberries to get white strawberries and then serve them
There's also a five minute crafts thing that recommends making this weird box out of cardboard and plastic wrap which is supposed to protect you from molten sugar, so you can spin it. It absolutely will not do anything to protect you and you will likely end up in the hospital with serious burns if you try it.
5 minute crafts and other similar channels are actively disregarding people's health and safety for their own profit. It's not okay
There is a channel called “How to Cook That” and she has done several debunking videos on channels like 5 Minute Crafts, also explaining why these channels actually hurt YouTubers.
