From CarryMinati to Faizal Siddiqui, Why YouTube and TikTok Content Creators Should Stop Indulging in Tomfoolery and Realise Their Current Responsibility- Spreading Awareness About COVID-19, UNANIMOUSLY!
Thousands and thousands of people are involved in this online battle that is TikTok vs YouTube, most of them come with a huge fan following. Couldn't this opportunity be used by creators to come together and help spread awareness about COVID-19, social distancing and a tonne of other issues related to coronavirus, that is literally taking lives of people?
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.

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.
