The Horrifying Things Japanese YouTubers Do For Views

The worst YouTube trend has finally arrived in Japan...
They can't keep getting away with this!

BTW Jukiya is now banned from YouTube [May 2024 Update]

I love how Japan has its equivalent of every global internet milestone. They had their own version of Jared the Subway guy, and now they have thier own versions of the various douchetubers who were popular back in 2010.

I feel so bad for that young girl she looked extremely uncomfortable and in danger.

Ew, those guys should be locked up for sexual harassment and assault. Those poor women clearly didn't want anything to do with them and they kept pushing with a camera in their face

[undertaker]

This is not cringe, this is criminal... poor girls

[stevestevens]

I am really happy japanese people are standing up for what's right and calling this out

I can’t wait to see the Japanese version of YouTube Apologies. Imagine if a Japanese YouTuber does a Sienna Mae apology using a traditional dance like Nihon Buyo, now that would be crazy

When I watch more recent Japanese dramas, some of them often depict Youtubers as a problematic males in their 20s with funky colored hairs. I was thinking 'Hmmm.. I think they are a bit late to this kind of stereotyping', tried to Google some new popular Youtubers in Japan and I was surprised that these kind of contents are actually trending

Japanese yt imitating prank era of 2010s 😢

I already hated these kind of youtubers more than enough in Europe and America. I hope it doesn't persist in Japan as well, though I have very high doubts about that.

Love this stuff, bro. I was a mormon missionary in Kyoto, Osaka, and out in the sticks of Hyogo-ken in the early '90s. Loved it and spent another six months in Gifu ken studying and interning at Chubu Denryoku, where I met my partner in the late 90s. We moved our family to Tokyo from 2008-2012 where I worked in finance. We go back often but I've studiously stayed away from Japanese YT. Just too cringey. Your synopses are brilliant. Wish I had found it earlier. Will send some shekels your way. BTW, I completely deconstructed from mormonism to the non-metaphysical bliss of human reason and kindness. Have apologised to the living people in Japan I tried to indoctrinate into the cult, fwiw.

Japan going through their "its just a prank bro" phase 😭

[bdbgh]

I've heard the phrase "A fed bear, is a dead bear" before, I guess this is why.

[CyborgWolf]

Japan currently in it's "worse era for youtube ever"
I wonder if they'll have their own Logan Paul or their groomer scandals too

[nomoretwitterhandles]

I've been noticing this trend as well. One Japanese YouTuber I used to watch knew about Western YouTube trends *and* Japanese YouTube trends (as he is biracial and bilingual), and for the last few years he has been ragging on the lateness of Japanese YouTubers to hop onto awful trends; he also would complain about popular Japanese TikTokers being public nuisances (as that is incredibly taboo in Japan especially). Even the "apology" videos are just as bad. 😂

Thank you for talking about this. I don't think many people outside of Japan understand just how bad the "popular" side of Japanese YouTube is.

[JohnWick-rhzz]

part 2 is even crazier, how do they even write those titles and thumbnails without being banned

[cleanerwhite]

The magic genie misunderstood my wish for a chance to return to the past.

[wayz]

I pray for a commentary arc for JP youtube

[detrodusjp]

Y'know I used to like ジュキヤ like 2 years ago, but now I can't help but be disgusted by ジュキヤ and his videos. Not even cringe, just revolted, they seem like awful people

[battafyuwi]

Somehow logan paul managed to lower the bar for japanese
