  • Five-year-old threatens...

  • Pfft!

  • Maybe this kid... Got what it takes

  • Who am I?

  • The next PewDiePie?

  • Let's uh...

  • Let's check out some content

  • *Woman: Go go go go to bed! Go to bed!*

  • *Happy music*

  • *Alright then! Brush your teeth.*

  • *Ryan's going in to take a bath!*

  • He's got a tricycle I love those.

  • *Ryan: Welcome to Ryan's toys review!*

  • Fuck! I don't have an intro!

  • Shit!

  • Let's make one right now!

  • *In a cringy kid's voice: Welcome to Felix's toys review!*

  • Has it really gone to that po*voice-crack*int?

  • Making fun of five-year-olds?

  • ''Watch some of the videos and they'll remind you of the videos you make''

  • *Laughs a little*

  • That's what I wanna watch

  • I mean, why would I watch what I've made,

  • when I can just watch other people make the same shit?

  • That really...

  • *laughs*

  • That really certifies

  • Oh shit... Oh my god...

  • I just became one of those that says,

  • ''Why would you watch someone else play video games when you can play it yourself''

  • *laughs*

  • Shit...

  • ''Youtube's biggest star is a 5-year-old that makes''

  • WAIT!

  • The Verge as well?!

  • What the... fuck is happening?!

  • Are we talking about the same The Verge?

  • The Verge that will take any opportunity they can to

  • to shit on me?

  • Oh okay that's interesting...

  • ''PewDiePie and others took money from WarnerBros for positive game reviews''

  • A straight up lie that I debunked

  • Fuck you!

  • ''For the last 18 weeks and counting Ryan Toys Review''

  • ''has been the most popular channel on YouTube''

  • ''The youngest star YouTube has EVER seen''

  • Is that... Are we celebrating this?

  • Are we celebrating that.. the fact that some...

  • this mother is like

  • You think he's getting any money off this?

  • You think he's getting the toys?

  • I also really like how they link every video ever

  • in their description

  • I really appreciate that

  • ''The genre skyrocketed once kids became the hosts''

  • The kids are not the hosts

  • Okay, let's watch a video and I'll show you what I mean

  • *Woman: Yeah awesome!*

  • *Ryan: What are we gonna get?*

  • *Woman: I don't know!*

  • *Who will you hatch?*

  • See? She doesn't even let him finish

  • he was clearly about to say something there!

  • *Who will you hatch?*

  • Look at him.

  • *Woman talks*

  • No, you don't matter cuz I MATTER!!!

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP RYAN!!!

  • *Ryan: These look like they might open!*

  • *You can still hear the noises inside!*

  • *Woman: Yeah!*

  • Oh my god I think he...

  • I think he came up with that sentence himself and no-one else told him to say that

  • *You can still hear the noises inside!*

  • *Yeah!*

  • *Cringes*

  • I don't... Like...

  • I'm sure he loves it.

  • You know

  • I'm sure

  • I would love... When I was a kid

  • to open a bunch of toys

  • but at the same time it's like

  • It's... It's something off about it

  • It's kinda like seeing child stars on television

  • cause you know their parents are literally forcing them to do it

  • and it's just something sad about it

  • And I can't help getting the same vibe

  • Obviously I don't know what goes on but

  • *cringes*

  • I watch it and i'm like ''UGH!''

  • ''Increasingly, it feels like Ryan is reading from a script''

  • *laughs*

  • No

  • The script being mother saying

  • ''HEY, YOU FUCKING SEE THIS?!!''

  • ''Youtube stars are driving retail sales''

  • I can't argue with that

  • ''Subliminal advertising at its finest''

  • ''Sponsored episodes''

  • Yeah

  • It's clearly

  • They're sponsored by Walmart

  • It's 100%

  • It's so clear

  • like...

  • watch this video over there like

  • ''We got an exclusive Walmart egg!''

  • *Woman: And we even found a Walmart exclusive version too!*

  • OOO

  • Why would any kid give a shit about that?

  • Explain that to me.

  • Ok?

  • Why would any kid give a shit about Walmart edition?

  • It doesn't make any sense!

  • And then you get the Verge posting ''He took money from WarnerBros for positive game reviews even though he didn't''

  • Talk about inadequate disclosure, huh?

  • Ok well where is it here?

  • ''Ryan's success in other words translates into more money''

  • For his parents!

  • Oh, 'for a larger corporation''

  • Ok, ok alright

  • So basically, there's a legal loophole

  • That there's no way for the antics of an ordinary kid

  • To be commercialised

  • Many states have no rules around children performing

  • They have no child labor laws around performance

  • The channel isn't just Ryan playing with toys any more

  • Whether he's going to Disneyland, getting a haircut or running a fever, his parents are the ones deciding how much-

  • You see what I'm getting at here?

  • Have you ever seen a video with 11 million views and 9000 likes?

  • Please direct me to that video. Because it doesn't exist.

  • These are not real people. These are not real views.

  • There's only 1000 comments.

  • Take a video where I had 11 million views:

  • I got 22,000 comments.

  • 22,000. 1000.

  • Most viewed video has 600 million views.

  • What. The. Fuck.

  • What the ac- excuse me. What the actual fuck.

  • What the fuck.

  • That's more than half of Call Me Maybe

  • Are you saying- like everybody in the entire fucking world should know who this kid is.

  • I bet most of you who've seen this video have no fucking clue.

  • How do you get that amount of views?

  • How can the Verge

  • and USA Today

  • Fail to realise this? How can they run such a full cover like this?

  • And not mention it?

  • You know, I'm not here to criticise this family

  • I don't care. I genuinely don't care.

  • Like, do whatever you want, don't get me wrong. This is not the point.

  • The point that I want to make, which I am absolutely fucking stunned,

  • That these two big-big journalist websites, The Verge and USA Today

  • Like, where the fucking- look at this. Look at this.

  • It's a fucking feature

  • Let's see- maybe is 'bot' mentioned anywhere? No.

  • Fake views? No.

  • This whole article. Nowhere.

  • So congrats. You payed for views.

  • And that's how you get the title, "Oh! He's beating PewDiePie!"

  • And I think that's what pisses me off so much because people want to fucking tear me down all the fucking time
