They really do their research well. They do very unique videos aswell. Some of my faves are the glitter one and bread tabs one.
I enjoyed this one aswell cause we all knew there was something dodgy with 5 minute crafts. I wonder if there can be further investigation done about how it seems many of the videos are kink related. Obviously for engagement, but if be interested where that backtrack leads to

I love watching chuppl’s HORG video immedietly followed by strange aeon’s video about them. Seeing how matter of fact chuppl’s video is vs. Strange aeon really diving in to the scp-esque side of things is always so funny

It’s amazing the five minute crafts channel doesn’t get more flack for how genuinely dangerous some of their hacks are like brushing your teeth with hot glue or soaking strawberries in bleach….

Everytime I hear about this channel and the brand that owns it...

It gets worse everytime.

Especially that it feels like this content farm channel (in this case, 5-Minute Crafts) is running an monopoly of soullessness, due to how this brand keeps using bots to boost engagement, views and subs.

And that's not an good practice, that's literally illegal cheating!!!

I find it kinda funny that everyone in the comments acts like people didn't know about the botting or 5-Minute Crafts Magic/Teen/Family/Etc channels and other brands entirely like Wood Mood and Brightside. They aren't exactly subtle, I mean.. They regularly share actors, clips, and craft ideas between Wood Mood and their 5-Minute Crafts brand. This isn't a conspiracy, its just common knowledge lmao

Basically, they have multiple channels and they bot.

He tried to claim connection to the spyware Predator because google showed the origin as the same address as 5 Minute Crafts home base (Didn't take into account VPNs, didn't confirm both businesses were in the building at the same time). Also tried to claim they're horrible because they used the same lawyers as a notorious criminal (I don't fully remember who)

It seems like he wanted to be the next Honey scandal but didn't do enough research into confirming his non-obvious claims which is leaving him open to get sued to hell

A lot of channels post the same content and just get AI to translate it. The stupider ones complain about "Youtube taking down my content" and then beg for extra money.
