YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNOTE: Keep in mind I don’t have any of these people, I don’t even REALLY dislike them or their content. I just have some issues with their videos that I would like to see them improve on. Also, I didn’t mean to have a huge hate boner for Kavos, the script just turned out that way.

SHORT VIDEO DESCRIPTION (From script):
At the beginning of 2016, a relatively small YouTuber by the name of LeafyIsHere began gaining a lot of traction on YouTube, from making videos where he essentially just shat on other people's content, bullied children, and made fun of disabled people, all while using CS-GO gameplay as the backdrop for his “commentary.” Despite this low-effort and clearly bad form of content, Leafy had found a sweet spot in the algorithm. He was able to upload daily due to his videos being easy to make, all of his videos were easily 10 minutes long, allowing him to place more ads on his videos, and he could ride off of the success of more popular youtubers to gain some notoriety of his own.
This perfect storm helped him reach 5 million subscribers, which it no small feat, especially on modern YouTube. But then people realized what an atrocity his channel was, Idubbz made a video on him, and he went from raking in 5 million views in a video, to 300 thousand.And from the ashes of leafy’s dead channel, rose a community of other creators who made similar content to him, but differentiated themselves from his style of content by cutting out the bleach jokes. And it was absolutely awful, and still is, for reasons which I will explain today.
EXTRA NOTE:
This video took a VERY long time to make, so I appreciate every like and subscription. Constructive criticism is also appreciate, I am always looking to improve my videos.
