2019 February - Shane Dawson's 'Chuck E Cheese's' pizza conspiracy theory


Shane Dawson's most recent movie-length video on conspiracy theories included one on Chuck E Cheese's restaurants recycling pizza slices that the internet seems to have clung on to, with Chuck E Cheese's responding directly to the claim.

Videos are being made discussing it, people are going to their local places to test out the theory, news establishments are writing articles reporting on it.

2019 February - Context for the Matt Watson (MattsWhatItIs) "Youtube's Child Exploitation" situation and companies pulling advertising from Youtube.

Since Matt Watson made his video about child exploitation on Youtube, several things have happened in the news and online. I was talking to another user in PMs yesterday and decided to compile everything I could find into one resource post.

Feel free to add anything I've missed in the comments.

Updating this as the situation develops.

 

 

To begin, /u/Mattwatson07 posted his video **"Youtube is Facilitating the Sexual Exploitation of Children, and it's Being Monetized (2019)"** to /r/Videos on Feb 18, 2019.

https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/artkmz

It rose to the #1 spot on /r/all and is the #2 post of all time on the subreddit, attracting attention from news outlets and Youtube itself.

At the time of posting the Reddit post, Matt was live streaming and prompted his viewers to vote on the post, sending it shooting up the front page to the #1 spot.

Timestamp in the livestream: https://youtu.be/FIOvURSyuZU?t=2807




 


The video shines light on the issue of videos with **underage girls** being uploaded and reuploaded then shared around the website, with users commenting **sexualized messages in the comment sections**. Youtube's system enables this behavior by suggesting **more** young children videos to people watching this type of content, inadvertently connecting users that seek this sexually exploitative content.

The MattsWhatItIs channel rose from 15.6K subscribers to 26K in three days and the video accumulated 2 million views.

Matt Watson then began doing daily streams encouraging his new viewers to contact Youtube advertisers with the video, encouraging them to **pull their ads off of Youtube**.

Keemstar tweets that he will not report on the story because he fears blowing it up and driving advertisers away, hurting all creators on the platform.

https://twitter.com/KEEMSTAR/status/1097609056968237056

>> Keem report on actual news like the rampent pedophiles all over YouTube instead of just Logan and his fans being mad bc you talked down about Logan. Of course they won't like someone who talks down on one of their favorite YouTubers. Talk about something important #YoutubeWakeUp

>I’m not reporting the story because it negatively affects the whole YouTube community. We don’t need another ad apocalypse. What I have done behind the scenes though is reached out to my YouTube contacts showing them the video & my team is showing them content to take down.

 

At some point in his livestream, Keemstar joins the chat to reach out to Matt about the way he is trying to fix the issue. Keemstar says that driving advertisers away from Youtube will hurt creators, not pedophiles. Instead, Keemstar says Matt should encourage his viewers to report the content to Youtube, as they are working to purge it from the site.

https://twitter.com/KEEMSTAR/status/1097990432817061888

Twitter Video 1 mirror: https://streamable.com/0ba90

Keemstar claims Youtube is shutting down thousands of these harmful accounts, which Matt denies.

Keemstar also finds and uses a clip from Matt Watson's previous channel Totally Uncreative, a satire channel that mocks incels, to say he is "a creep" but does not note the context.

Matt reads Keemstar's tweet that he is not reporting on the issue because it would hurt the platform but is working behind the scenes to solve the issue with Youtube, and responds saying that Keemstar only cares about his own income and that he does not care about creators' revenue. Matt says, "So what if it affects you, go work at KFC."
