In YouTube’s defence, it updated itsharassment policy in December 2019 stating, “We will not tolerate harassment.” And, Carry Minati’s YouTube video was a pretty targetted attack at TikTok’s self-proclaimed social influencer Amir Siddiqui— dismantling Siddiqui’s video line-by-line. YouTube has not responded to Business Insider’s request for comment at the time of publishing this article.
Even though Minati’s whole IP on YouTube is reacting and roasting popular TV shows or celebrities, this is the first time that he posted a video roasting a single individual. Something that he himself confessed in the YouTube vs TikTok - The End video. The ongoing feud between YouTube and TikTok has only escalated during the lockdown as more content floods the system, and creators are caught in a battle of formats.
CARRY VIDEO DELETED
If you didn’t have a chance to watch the video at the centre of the controversy before it was taken down, here are the highlights:
Minati pointed out that TikTok videos don’t have any quality and are way shorter than YouTube videos. Even though creators have the option to create one-minute videos, they normally choose to make multiple 30-second clips instead to bump up their content count.
Siddiqui’s video alleges that YouTubers only make content for sympathy. Minati hit back with a video that Siddiqui does that in more obvious ways by posting videos of him feeding poor kids.
In multiple points in the video, Minati highlights Siddiqui’s slip-ups in grammar as he talks hinting how his education is inadequate.
He also shows that Siddiqui’s claim of being a “social influencer” involves using crowdsourcing hashtags on Instagram in order to get more views, even though they may not have any relevance to the image shared. As an example, he shared a picture of Siddiqui standing next to a car and one the hashtags on the post was ‘#Skirt’.
