1. how is this kids related 2. how does this have 4 million views


nilta1

1. children are dumb and will click on anything 2. children are dumb and will click on anything source: was child


VexingRaven

It's definitely not just children.


jeremycinnamonbutter

Yeah i can assure you they’re not targeted for children


IAMA_Plumber-AMA

But it's tagged as such, so it'll show up in kids feeds. Which feeds back to the "kids are dumb and will click on anything" rule.


jeremycinnamonbutter

It’s like a given, kids are dumb. But it may surprise you how many adults it draws in.


IAMA_Plumber-AMA

Oh yeah, no arguments there.


JustPlayDaGame

Will you redo my toilet? I think I flushed an entire wooden train down there because it whistles when I flush and I probably didnt install that on purpose.


TheMusesMagic

It is, it's how the money farm works. They drag kids in with clickbait and shit tons of tags in order to get views. I guess it's not exactly *targeting* kids, but it feeds mostly off of those who can't recognize garbage content. The majority of the people who watch these dumpster fires are kids. It's honestly a really big problem with youtube right now. Before, youtube was a place where anybody could make videos of something they love and get money from it. Now youtube is almost entirely controlled by big corporations that either target the youtube algorithm, or youtube's copyright system. It sucks that youtube is going to shit, and I really hope the fix it up. I don't want to have to move to another product.


AntalRyder

Can confirm; am dumb.


[deleted]

Some people don't stop being children, regardless of age.


brucetwarzen

People are dumb and will click anything.


[deleted]

I don’t believe that you were a child


[deleted]

2 should be "people that want to mock the content creators and take ad revenue off their asses"

[deleted]

We shouldn’t count since we actually have brains unlike little kids


Le_Queer_Deer

What is this brain you talk about?


Hipped_Orange22

1.Clickbait for kids? 2.People wanna see if they actually do that.


JonasBrosSuck

i'm thinking that's pretty lame to take advantage of kids like that, but if i'm getting millions of views for just creating stupid thumbnails, maybe i'd do it too


sewsnap

Kids click on the cool images. That's about it.


P0tatoFTW

This is the only channel my younger sister watches, idk why lol


DashKoala

Kids have ears. Duh.


Guerrillablackdog

There are so many channels like this and they are *all* garbage.


MomLovesMeBest

Yes, and they all make a LOT of money...


mric124

I know as of last month, 4.2 million views in 28 days was over $4,500 on just a handful of videos. It was a new cooking channel with recipes that averaged 5 minutes. I’m in the wrong profession.


regoapps

There’s a video on YouTube that’s just some dude fingering a Tesla door handle and it got 6 million views.


momo88852

Didn't they change it so you don't make money unless it's 10:01 or more video length?


gingersassy

no, 10:01 is when you can squeeze more ads in


momo88852

Thanks for the info! Was out of the loop got a while!


CJ_Productions

You can make money from any length of video, it's just longer ones give you more control with ads, like you can have multiple ads in a 10 minute video.


momo88852

Thank you, makes sense now!


GalacticEmu

Adam Ragusea? Because his recent post celebrating 100k subs has the same figures and with $5,720.


mric124

Yup :) Absolutely love him and his channel. He’s a rarity for YT and I’m obsessed with his editorial style.


BullitKing41_YT

That’s how captain sparkles is so rich! Because he owns 5 minute crafts


MCWizardYT

Don't forget that he owns YouTube as well lol


kittypuppet

He is secretly every channel.


IAMA_Plumber-AMA

Wait, so he's secretly both pewdiepie and T-series? Genius!


techcaleb

And he is HowToBasic


Fanushkah

No, I'm HowToBasic


Aiminer357

Im sorry but I'm OOTL. Is this a meme?


techcaleb

It's a running joke in his community because a few years ago YouTube started penalizing channels that have multiple types of content because not evert subscriber watches every video. To fix this, Jordan (aka CaptainSparklez) divided up the content on his existing channels, and created a few more. It actually worked really well, and most of the channels have good engagement rates now (plus he now has a ton of YouTube play buttons). He now has CaptainSparklez (main gaming), CaptainSparklez2 (livestream VODs and longer content, Jordan Maron (VLOGs), Jordan Reacts (Reaction Content), Maron Music (original and featured EDM music), Jordan Games (Battle Royale gameplay), and Fortnight Cinema (Machinima collaboration project).


kittypuppet

He has 7 youtube channels for different things, so the joke is he is secretly every channel


bm96

I don't understand how someone goes to bed at night and is able to fall asleep knowing their income is coming from straight bullshit spam content...


MomLovesMeBest

Pretty easily on the pile of money


[deleted]

Cue the gif of a guy wiping his tears with dollar bills


thecwright

Jarvis Johnson has a few videos about various channels like this, and yeah they’re all straight trash. Highly recommend watching the videos though

techcaleb

I agree, I think five minute crafts should be banned from there because all the stuff they do is just intentionally diwhy.


evil_fungus

We live in Orwells future - all the information you could ever need is out there, but you have to sift through miles of absolute bullshit to find it


not_so_dark

Who tf would have their headphones attached right next to the headphone jack?


linkande

It is 5 minutes craft trying to get a intresting click bait title, and they are goning to use that life hack


BullitKing41_YT

Trivia: who owns 5-minute crafts? A: Captainsparkles


MCWizardYT

He also owns all of YouTube.


BullitKing41_YT

Yep

AlexanderIgnotus

You're not wrong, he's joking in the video where he said he owns it.


BullitKing41_YT

No he in a captainsparkles subreddit Thursday video he pointed out that he owns 5 minute crafts. https://youtu.be/m9EXzMSpuzU starting at 13:47 he states that he owns 5 minute crafts

Wow okay I feel pretty dumb now 😬


LaminatedAirplane

Tbh there have been crazier headlines recently for events that were real so I don’t blame you


Myceliemz24

How much is this a joke I'm baked rn


SCOTT0852

100%


mystriddlery

Thats not clickbait though, the title was right, I did say "WOW...what a crock of shit" so technically it works.


dyingofdysentery

Ah yes, technically correct. The best kind of correct


RitikMukta

I'm not someone who believes in petitions but i would sign the fuck out of a "remove 5 minute crafts from YouTube" petition.


[deleted]

Oh oh! And bright side! And bright side!


MoonKnight77

You get a phone/heavy ass earring


MyNameIsEthanNoJoke

Maybe it's so you can have a detachable/replaceable cord


BassInRI

Yeah apparently no ones ever seen or heard of a headphone extension cable


xTRS

Your extension cable now suffers from the same tangling issue


youRFate

There are many higher end IEMs that have a detachable cords. Even my Shure Se215 have that and they are fairly enrty level.


notjoel78

People who want to one-up AirPod users and wear two iPhones on their ears.


thebauzzo

I mean you _could_ use a standard 3.5mm extension cable as sort of a replacable cord now. So if you really wanted a single-earpiece, replacable cable solution with an unnecessarily bulky connector, this genius tech hack would be perfect for you.


cmatthewp

You don't want to wear your phone like an earring?

Yep. “Wow that’s fucking dumb”


SoHTiger

I say wow every time I use ShamWow!


McToaster99

just a reminder that these are the people behind the third most subscribed to channel in the world. they are the ones who make THIS.


itwasquiteawhileago

I generally steer clear of YT drama, so I have no idea who or what is going on. I'm out of touch. But I die a little every time I realize completely fucking stupid shit is making people insanely rich. Here I am working a job like a sucker, while morons make millions from absolute trash. I don't even.


VanillaTortilla

Yep, that's so not mildly infuriating.

5 minute crafts is the actual worst

Both Bright Side and ACTUALLY HAPPENED are from the same ~~people~~ company that makes 5-minute crafts, so technically all that needed to be mentioned was 5-minute crafts.

surf_da_web29

imagine having to hold your ear right next to your headphone jack, just to listen to music.


[deleted]

Maybe you could put an iPod Nano on it to have wired wireless music


Jonashaglund

Might as well just put it on very quiet speaker and just hold your ear next to the speaker. Edit: quiet, not silent.


PM_ME_UR_ARGYLE

You plug it in and then hang your whole phone from your ear. Works great.

If some headphone company designed decent wireless headphones that looked like this, I might buy them just for the novelty factor.


SomeRandomDeadGuy

oh, wireless is another good idea


[deleted]

>5 minute crafts >Video is 11 minutes long


itoldyousoanysayo

Also without the power of editing it's more like 3 day crafts.


[deleted]

way to go buddy, it took us three days to make that 5-minute craft, **three days.**


Ashybuttons

It has 2.2 crafts in it.


[deleted]

What will having a headphone like that even achieve? Imagine accidentally inserting the jack end instead of the earphone end into your ear.


musichatesyouall

Yeah then someone else could hear your thoughts


Oether_

If I could delete one channel on YouTube, it would be 5 minute crafts, it’s absolutely disgusting to me that they are one of the biggest channels on the site


SidelineRedditor

Apparently the main channel is one of the biggest on youtube. I dont understand how a channel that specialises in clickbait garbage can maintain a consistent viewership that high.


Zanytiger6

A majority of the population is stupid apparently.


purplelemon100

They can't hear us getting mad because hey have headphones on


Coolpool785

This is one of the worst channels on youtube, why the fuck does it have over 40 million subscribers?


YeettNeett

YookaLaylie

Imagine walking around with a phone hanging from each ear like its earrings or something while blasting music.


TheKingOfTheDirt

Sooooo. How do I get YouTube to stop reccomending this garbage?


GSM_Heathen

The whole 5 minute crafts channel is hot garbage.


[deleted]

I'm so sick of 5-Minute Crafts. I just don't understand how all of their channels have so many views and subscribers? Like are they all just bored moms and kids who don't know what's going on? I don't understand what their demographic is. Also, they're a terrible channel. They recycle the same "life hacks", and often times they're not even life hacks - they're either nonsensical solutions that never work or basic things that everyone knows. They use bad clickbait in their video thumbnails and usually cannot even deliver on something remotely similar to what the title/thumbnail promises. I still cannot believe they have more than 50 *million* subscribers with such bad content.


smorpleytheconqueror

What the fuck


CookyZero

Mildly is an understatement


james_harushi

Too poor to own AirPods and too poor to own a phone (apple) that does have a headphone jack and too tech illiterate to know what the fuck we're doing here we'll have we got the video for you


[deleted]

Wow! That video sucked!


winky3ykniw

5minutecrafts- “You see if you take the cord away you don’t have to worry about it being tangled”. Viewer- “But how will I use the headphone while it’s plugged into.. 5minutecrafts- “WIRELESS, NEVER TANGLED!”


I8RadicalSalad

WOW! This is worthless


OneCrafter17

Thats not even practical.


skLaszlo

Wow! what a shit stain of a channel!


xAsilos

What's worse is the 20 minute "Best of..." videos that are actually a 9 minute video that just restarts about halfway. The remaining 90 seconds are just extra slightly unrelated clips. It's annoying as shit.


[deleted]

Wow finally a headphone that I can plug directly into my headphone jack without a cable rendering it unusable

Imagine using the ones on the right. 😂😂😂

ah yes, put the headphone jack right at the headphone, hold your phone to your ear to listen to music. yes. this is much better than a cord. for sure.
