If you have been on social media in the past two weeks, you must be aware of the war between young TikTok and YouTube creators. Not just creators but even fans have turned towards each other with their opinions on both video-sharing apps. It all started when CarryMinati made "YouTube vs TikTok: The End", a roast video particularly targeting Amir Siddiqui, after he made video accusing YouTubers of "stealing" their content along with many other big statements. This set a fire that is not even close to being contained. We witnessed CarryMinati accusing TikTok fame Faisu Khan, for threatening him. Then came Amir Siddiqui making a reply video alleging CarryMinati of bullying, harassment and even pushing him towards suicide. Acting like gasoline in the fire, this video generated more hate and tussle between YouTubers and TikTokers, laced with some serious allegations.

Then came in supporters. CarryMinati garnered huge support from YouTube personalities like Harsh Beniwal, Technical Guruji and even Hindustani Bhau. #UninstallTikTok and #BanTikTok went viral and as if that wasn't enough, Amir Siddiqui's brother, Faizal Siddiqui's controversial TikTok video that was allegedly normalising acid attack and glorifying abuse resurfaced. Yes, and what we are mentioning here only forms the tip of the ice-berg. Faizal Siddiqui, Brother of Amir Siddiqui Who Was Involved in TikTok vs YouTube Tussle With CarryMinati, Lands in Soup Over Video Promoting Acid Attacks on Women. 

Amid lockdown, with so time in hand, YouTubers and TikTokers are spreading hate all over social media like we are currently NOT braving a pandemic. Without giving an iota of attention towards the coronavirus frontline workers who are risking their lives each day while they go fight the deadly contagious disease, YouTubers and Tiktoker feel this is the best time to start an online riot. Migrant workers do not have roofs over their head and are literally planning to walk their way to their homes thousands of km away, but NO!

Is it really the right time for an ego clash between YouTubers and TikTokers, a subject so futile that when you see it from outside, you will only a bunch of misled people fighting while the planet that sustains their life is on fire. Can we not for once come together and channelise this energy towards something positive, or the fact that it won't get enough views is worrying these content creators? It is important now more than ever for people to come together and fight against COVID-19 and not among each other!
