We all love YouTube, and that's not just an opinion! YouTube is the world's second-largest search engine and is also a runner-up in the all-time number of website visits, just behind Google! So it shouldn't come as a surprise that it has accrued quite a substantial audience. If we're going to talk in numbers, according to Hootsuite, the platform has more than two billion active users, and people consume over 500 hours of content every minute. But despite our adoration for the platform, YouTube has had (and still has) its ups and downs. Out of all online video platforms, YouTube has had some of the worst trends throughout the years.

For anyone who's been on the internet for a while, that shouldn't be surprising. We all know how the online ecosystem works - the more popular an online platform or service gets, the more prone it becomes to controversy. Although we can't blame the company for some of these worst YouTube trends, it did play a significant part in others.

Some of these trends are goofy or outright ridiculous, while others have even alienated a significant portion of YouTube's audience. At times, it goes so far that it wouldn't surprise us if many of the affected creators jumped the boat the moment a competitive YouTube alternative popped up.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves or be a negative Nancy here! It's time to look at some of the worst YouTube trends ever!

10 Worst YouTube Trends of Recent Years

Note that these trends are not arranged in any particular order, so don't think there's a "grading" system to them. Here are the worst YouTube trends we'd all like to go away:

Without further ado, let's get into it!

1. Viral Challenges

The internet has seen its fair share of viral challenges throughout the years, and YouTube is no exception. We're sure most people would agree with the sentiment that these kinds of videos are pretty pointless. However, it's also a fact that many people still enjoy them. So what's the catch here?

We would guess that there is something inexplicably exciting about watching other people do stupid stuff. Perhaps it's an evolutionary thing - maybe we just like to feel smarter and superior, so we enjoy this kind of content. Who knows?

Anyhow, YouTube has seen plenty of viral challenges over the years, some of which you're likely already well familiar with. Despite the fact many people consider these funny, many can be quite dangerous. So if you ask us, the world (and YouTube) would be a better place without these.

Here are a few examples of some of the most popular viral YouTube challenges of recent years:

The Ice Bucket Challenge

Whoever thought that pouring ice-cold water over themselves was a good idea was... apparently a genius? As ridiculous (and potentially dangerous) as it was, the ice bucket challenge was incredibly popular; even many Hollywood celebrities and Silicon Valley giants tried their hand at it.

Condom Challenge

Don't worry; it's not what you think! This ridiculous challenge is entirely PG. For some unknown reason, people concluded that filling up a condom with water and throwing it on top of their heads was funny. Well... The internet agreed, so it became a viral YouTube trend. And that's how we got the condom challenge.

The Ghost Pepper Challenge

This challenge has many shapes and forms, but they all entail eating an incredibly hot pepper. Should we even mention that doing that can be dangerous? As you might have already deducted, the internet doesn't take hazard into account when coming up with these challenges, so... There we go.

2. Clickbaity Titles

Don't we all love the smell of betrayal in the morning? OK, maybe we're exaggerating, but you can't deny that you sometimes feel betrayed after viewing a video only to realize it was a clickbait. This practice is widely frowned upon, but most people still do it. But why is that?

Unfortunately, the answer is quite simple - it works. And views feed the YouTube algorithm... at least that's what they say.

Clickbaits have been around for years now, and there is no indication of them stopping anytime soon. Unfortunately, all we can do is learn to see through them. In that spirit, here's a quick guide on identifying clickbait titles.

They include the phrases "gone wrong," "gone sexual," or similar.

They are overly sexual, lewd, or suggestive.

TITLES ARE IN ALL CAPS.

They include "NOT CLICKBAIT" or any variation of the phrase.

They include a blatantly wrong statement or are blatantly ignorant about a sensitive topic.

Now that you're well-equipped to recognize clickbait, you can now contribute to improving the YouTube ecosystem by avoiding these videos! Or... you can use this as a guide to writing some clickbait titles yourself.

Oh no... What have we done?

3. "Exposed" Videos

These videos are single-handedly one of the worst YouTube trends ever. One could even say they are the bane of the platform's existence. There hasn't been a single quality "exposed" video since iDubbbz's "Content Cop" series a few years ago.

Our advice would be to look the other way whenever you see an "exposed" video. These are mostly aimed at causing creator vs. creator drama, which only damages the YouTube ecosystem.

But if these videos are so harmful, why are they so popular? Well... For the same reason reality shows are so popular - people love conflict. And when it's on camera, it's even more exciting.

Don't get us wrong; that is not a good thing. But it's the sad truth. Although the platform would be a better place without this kind of content, we don't see that happening anytime soon. Here's one recent example:

This video was just one of many in a large-scale creator vs. creator war between Daniel Keem and Ethan Klein, two multi-million subscriber YouTubers, that inflicted permanent damage to many creators' incomes due to "sponsorship wars" that ensued. If you're interested in more about the conflict and its consequences, you can find additional info here.

4. YouTube Demonetization

Back in 2017, many of YouTube's creators' livelihoods became endangered once advertisers started withdrawing their ads from the platform. That's when the first adpocalypse began. Unfortunately, the situation didn't improve in the slightest to this day, and YouTube has only become stricter in their monetization criteria in their attempt to cater to advertisers. When you couple that with the incredibly flawed demonetization bot that YouTube uses to handle this issue, you've got yourself a recipe for disaster.

If you need help and useful tips on avoiding getting demonetized on YouTube, give our article on how to survive the YouTube demonetization apocalypse a read!

Because creators can now get demonetized at any time without explanation and have to wait for days, sometimes even weeks to get a response on their demonetization appeal, many YouTubers were forced to look for alternative sources of income. That has led to the rise of another horrible YouTube trend...

Unfortunately, over-the-top self-promotion is a necessity for many creators nowadays, but it's still one of the worst YouTube trends out there. In the era where creators' futures on the platform depend on their sponsorship deals, accruing the most subscribers as possible is a must. The more subscribers a creator has, the more likely they'll be to attract big sponsors. So despite being tired of hearing the same old "Don't forget to smash that like button and subscribe" line thousands of times, we understand their struggles.

The same applies to when we have to listen to the same, boring sponsored ads time and time again. Some of these even became living memes on the platform (we're looking at you, Raid Shadow Legends).

But can we do anything about this hated trend? Not much. It is YouTube that controls the field here, and they're doing little to improve the monetization conditions for their creators. The only way we see this trend going away would be if the creators considered some YouTube monetization alternatives to offset their current revenue loss. Who knows? Maybe that would even force YouTube to make some changes to their policies.

6. Clickbaity Thumbnails

Just like their older cousins, titles, video thumbnails are not exempt from clickbait practices. You know what we mean... If you've been to YouTube even once, you have undoubtedly seen plenty of these. Since you already know how annoying they can be, let's immediately illustrate what clickbait thumbnails look like.

They use intriguing, but short pieces of text (usually in all caps and different colors).

They make the content sound sensational (and it's often not).

Clickbait thumbnails almost always include a surprised or freaked out image of the creator or a well-known meme.

Most of them slap on an emoji for good measure.

They often use emotions to trick you into clicking.

Now that you know how to identify these, we come bearing good news. Unlike with clickbait titles, you can do something to get rid of these! If you wish to rid yourself of this annoying YouTube practice, you can do so using this Chrome extension. Enjoy your new clickbait-free thumbnails!

7. YouTube Drama

Drama is not just one of the worst YouTube trends ever, but it also applies to our everyday lives. Unfortunately, as we've mentioned previously, many people love it for some unknown reason. And they don't just enjoy watching it; many like actively participating. And since YouTube is a platform where anyone can create content and participate, there's a wide variety of people of different dispositions. That means drama is inevitable.

2020 has had a particularly rough start both in the real world and on YouTube. We have already seen plenty of creator-on-creator drama this year, let alone since the platform's early days. Some of the cases we've had so far were:

There are many more, but it would take all day to list them all.

These happenings are becoming increasingly prominent on the platform, which is quite worrisome. Unfortunately, there isn't much the regular folk can do except try their best to avoid this kind of content.

8. False Copyright Flagging / DMCA Abuse

This problem has been present on YouTube forever, but it is only recently that people massively began abusing it. You see, YouTube allows anyone to report a video for copyright infringement by issuing a DMCA takedown. And we mean it - anyone! Even if you're a first-time user, you can copyright flag a video and claim it as your own.

You can see a problem with that, can't you? Creators can appeal the DMCA claim, though, but that is a long and arduous process to resolve. Also, whenever a creator gets a copyright strike (legitimate or not), they temporarily lose some privileges. To make things worse, if a creator ever gets three strikes, they lose their channel permanently.

When you take into account the number of cases of false flagging (way too many too count) and the fact that such actions can permanently ruin a creator's future on the platform, you realize just how uncertain YouTube is as a platform. There are even cases of people's original songs being claimed by random users, which is absurd.

All of that makes it evident that YouTube has a seriously flawed system on their end but is still doing nothing to address the issue. So if you are an aspiring YouTube content creator, be wary of this ill YouTube trend as it can target anyone, regardless of their channel size.

9. Dangerous Stunts

The adrenaline rush of dangerous stunts has been feeding the world's daredevils for as long as we can remember. Many of these acts have been televised and broadcasted for the world to see time and time again. But what happens when you give an average Joe a platform where they can perpetuate their attempts at replicating these experienced daredevils? You get plenty of accidents and wasted lives, that's what!

Since YouTube's infancy, people have been doing outright stupid stuff and posting the acts on the platform. It shouldn't come as a surprise that many of these stunts went awry. Whether it's people trying to skateboard over moving cars or attempting to breathe fire without training, the outcomes are often tragic.

The peak of this craze came with the "Bird Box challenge" that went viral a year ago. People went about their day wearing a blindfold for the duration of the challenge, where only their friends could guide them verbally. To make things worse, people even drove cars blindfolded (mind-boggling, we know), which resulted in many tragic accidents and casualties. After that event, YouTube began taking action to eliminate such extreme stunts and challenges by updating its Terms of Agreement.

This trend was undoubtedly one of YouTube's worst because it cost many people their lives, so we're glad it's now been eliminated from the platform for the most part.

10. YouTube Censorship

Many people see YouTube as a platform where they can engage in free speech and in dialogue with like-minded peers through their content. Unfortunately, the reality is not so bright as YouTube has reportedly been engaging in active censorship lately due to political pressure. An excellent example of this horrible YouTube trend is that the platform is not available everywhere in the world due to political censorship. Also, YouTube has been accused of actively censoring negative user comments about the Chinese Communist Party.

The alleged censorship doesn't only extend to the Eastern market. Some have even accused the company of illegally censoring content with conservative political views. Many creators have supported these claims claiming that their content was not appearing on recommended lists and was entirely getting ignored by the YouTube algorithm.

Despite the lack of tangible proof YouTube is censoring its creators, the issue is being actively debated throughout the platform's community, so it's worth noting. If YouTube is indeed censoring content, this might be one of the worst YouTube trends so far. So proceed with caution!

YouTube and Us - A Platform We Love... or Love to Hate?

YouTube might be flawed, but it has a special place in all of our hearts. But whether that place is of love or hate... we'll leave up to you. The platform can indeed be genuinely toxic at times, and there's little we can do about it. But it's also a place anyone can use to get into video content creation, so we have to give it some credit! Even brands can use it as a part of their video marketing strategy or just to raise their brand visibility and awareness. So unless you want to move to another video platform, there isn't much you can do.

Luckily, now that you are more aware of some of the worst YouTube trends that plague the platform's community, you are better equipped to avoid falling prey to them. Or if you don't care about any of this or are unaffected by it, we hope you had some fun reading!

Until next time!

You probably didn't know that more than 180,000 kids die from attempting dangerous stunts. Nearly 14,000 of them are under the age of 19. Imagine if this problem continued and when you had kids your child died or got injured. You would be furious and sad. There's a solution though. Most of these stunts are done to be put on YouTube to hopefully become famous. But if YouTube banned all dangerous videos that might trigger other kids to do the same so many lives would be saved. In the article You Danger, it says that 2009 a 15 year old boy ended up with bad burns do to trying a flaming basketball stunt. They said he would have scars for the rest of his life. The boy said later that he did this hoping for is video to go viral on ...show more content...
This leads to injuries and death. So, ask yourself are videos worth risking a child's life worth it? Also in the article Dangerous Stunts Seen on YouTube Killing Teens, it said that David Nuno a 15 year old boy died in a freak accident while trying to do a stunt on YouTube called "good kids high". David was trying to make himself pass out on purpose. However as he fell forward he fell on a glass bottle which broke and cut his jugular arteries. He was rushed to the hospital but it was too late.(S.L p.g1) This just shows how these dangerous stunts are killing teens all over. If YouTube didn't have them, so many people would be saved and be alive at this moment. I know that if David were here with us right now he would be telling everyone why these stunt should be ban so kids don't end up like him. Dr. Thomas Abramo, the head of pediatric emergency medicine at University Medical Center has witnessed it all in his emergency room. Young teens don't understand how risky this is but, if we take away their opportunity to even watch these videos they may not understand but they would be

An 8-year-old girl died after drinking boiling water through a straw on a dare from her cousin. A 22-year-old man died after convincing his girlfriend to shoot him for a failed YouTube stunt. An 18-year-old landed in the ICU with a fractured skull after jumping out of a moving car to perform the "In My Feelings" or Kiki Challenge.

Kids and young adults are harming themselves or others at an alarming rate in order to gain attention or boost their followers on social media.

Throughout history teens have been trying to pull off dangerous stunts as a rite of passage. Engaging in dangerous behavior and ignoring potential consequences is in some ways part of growing up. It is also what makes teens such risky drivers. However, social media platforms like YouTube and Snapchat have turned what might have been just an isolated incident into a viral trend copied by thousands.

"Destructive and harmful effects" of social media have been bemoaned by news anchors and the First Lady's "Be Best" campaign to address cyberbullying. One would think the Darwin Awards would provide a loud and clear warning to would-be stunt performers, but as 95% of teens now have access to a smartphone, every day more are inspired to participate in the latest prank.

According to Injury Facts, 29% of all hospital emergency department visits are injury related. As if everyday preventable injuries aren't reason enough to end up in the emergency room, now we're seeing dozens of these dangerous challenges. Teens are ingesting laundry detergent packets for the Tide Pod Challenge, pouring boiling water on unsuspecting friends for the Hot Water Challenge, or willingly dousing themselves with rubbing alcohol and lighting it on fire for the extremely dangerous Fire Challenge.

Perhaps none has gone as viral as the Kiki Challenge, which has crossed international borders and landed several people in the hospital. Police and government agencies around the globe, including the National Transportation Safety Board, have warned against jumping out of moving vehicles to participate in this trend, and some jurisdictions even threatened criminal charges.

Young people will undoubtedly continue to come up with new and ever more inventive ways of getting hurt, but that doesn't mean we should glorify this and encourage others to do the same. At a time when preventable injuries and deaths are on the rise, impressing your friends, whether online or in real life, shouldn't require putting yourself at risk.

Surveys of teen behaviors show that high school teens whose parents miss significant transition periods such as birthdays and other important changes are more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors, which include things like drinking and driving, unprotected sex and perhaps even engaging in dangerous social media stunts. Please remind your child that no viral challenge is worth a trip to the hospital, and real friends keep each other safe.

As with all risks that teens face, parents are key to opening lines of communication and making sure that young people know they are valued. No social media following can compete with that.

Sept. 28, 2012— -- David Nuno became the latest teenager to die in a freak accident this week trying to duplicate a stunt he saw on YouTube called the "good kids' high."

Nuno, 15, and his two friends were watching a YouTube video of how to pass out on purpose before trying it out on Tuesday, Chula Vista Police Capt. Gary Wedge said.

Just like in the video, Nuno was standing before he lost consciousness. When he fell forward, he crashed onto an empty drinking glass and broke it with his collarbone, allowing the shard to slice through his interior and exterior jugular arteries.

His friends didn't see the blood until they rolled him over, prompting one to race down the stairs to find Nuno's father, Wedge said. As Nuno regained consciousness, he realized he was bleeding and ran down the stairs just as his father was running up to help him. As his father applied pressure to the wound with a towel, Nuno collapsed on the floor.

Emergency responders arrived and tried to stop the bleeding, but Nuno's pulse disappeared. They performed CPR, but he died shortly after he got to the hospital, Wedge said.

"Anytime a teen dies, it's tragic," Wedge said, adding that he'd never seen anyone try to asphyxiate himself to get high before Tuesday, but he's learned "it's much more common than people realize."

Nuno's death isn't the first like it - not even the first this month. A 12-year-old suffocated to death in Wisconsin trying to achieve a pass-out high last Thursday.

The Dangerous Behaviors Foundation asked victims' parents to report choking game deaths and recorded 416 fatalities as of last September.

Emergency rooms are seeing more and more teens with injuries that result from emulating things they see on YouTube videos that include the choking game, and other more innocuous sounding but deadly games such as the "cinnamon challenge," the "salt-and-ice challenge," " chubby bunny" and even extreme fighting.

Dr. Thomas Abramo, the chief of pediatric emergency medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, said he sees all of it in his ER. Although teens have acted on risky behavior fads throughout his 30-year career, he said he's seeing trends catch on faster than ever before, and he thinks it's because of YouTube and social media.

"If you get one kid doing it, you tend to see more kids doing it," said Abramo, who said two of his patients have died playing the choking game. "The spread of the event is definitely faster."

One challenge that scares Abramo involves being hit on the head with a bench or a folding chair to "see if you can take it," he said. A lot of the time, they can't.

"Fractures, concussions, lacerations," Abramo said. "Just the things you would think would happen."

"Once you see some of these videos, you go, 'Oh my God,'" the doctor said. The "Darwin award" videos, which involve varying dangerous challenges, are the worst he's seen. "Survival of the stupidest. I can't believe it happens. It defies logic," Abramo said.

YouTube's guidelines prohibit content that encourages dangerous behavior, but 72 hours of new video are uploaded each minute, according to YouTube statistics, making it difficult to prevent dangerous content being posted.

"We count on our users to flag content they believe violates the rules," a YouTube spokesman said. "We review flagged videos around the clock and remove all those that violate our policies."

Dr. Alan Hilfer, a child psychologist at Maimonides Medical Center, said he thinks the existing videos validate risky behavior for teens and give them a way to get notoriety if they post a video. He said he hears a lot about YouTube's amateur ultimate fighting videos, which show teen fights with are no rules -- just bare knuckles.

"A kid showed me his video of that, and it was appalling," he said. "These kids were beating each other to a pulp, and kids were standing around and cheering until somebody gave up."

Hilfer, who has worked as a child psychologist for four decades, said videos also validate anorexia and cutting by making them seem normal.

"When I first came into the field, nobody cut," he said.

However, Dr. Carol Bernstein, a psychiatry professor at New York University's Langone Medical Center, said she doesn't think YouTube alone is to blame for teens engaging in challenges that could seriously injure them because many factors are involved. She said other environmental factors, physiology, and temperament contribute to a child's decision to emulate a video.

"Stress here should be on knowing our children, watching behaviors and having conversations with them," Bernstein said. "There's no substitute for parents and teachers who are engaging with their kids in general."

She said if parents discover their child is hurting himself or herself in any way, they should have a conversation with that child. If necessary, she said parents should reach out to a pediatrician to see if he or she should be evaluated by a child psychologist.

"The message here if for parents to not be afraid to have conversations with their children," she said. "We need to do that.

Dangerous Stunts Seen on YouTube Hurting, Even Killing Teens

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Dangerous stunts seen on YouTube from the “choking game” to “cinnamon challenge” send kids to hospital and sometimes to their graves.
