I remember as child I was first introduced to Dragon Ball Z while living over in Japan. There’s no doubt that many of us remember the wacky, funny, hyperactive character known as Goku. Those were some amazing childhood memories that FOX had to go and take a shit on with their live action movie adaption. No one really can pull off Goku. That’s what I thought until I came across a YouTuber who’s crazy hair is possibly the most sane thing about him.

Edwins Generation is someone you would suspect to fail a drug test. Now to some that may be a reason to stay away from him. However, for us fellow YouTubers and YouTube lovers he’s someone we all adore. He keeps my attention with his Speedy Gonzales attitude. This is the key to his fast pace, quick and short, but yet very humorous videos.

His video An error occurred, please try again later. is a prime example of this. The video starts then BAM! He’s off ranting away like someone who just been cut off from their speed. At the end I found myself asking, “Is he funny because of what he says, or how he says it?” The answer has and will always be both, and it’s why he’s unlike many of the other YouTubers out there.

Another appealing thing about Edwin is his crazy ideas. Each video has me going “Wow, did he really do/say that?”, and I love it. There’s honestly nothing better than questioning what you just saw from a YouTuber like SEX WITH A TRANNY?! (GraphyteTV Impersonation). Between Edwin wearing a bra and trying to pass off as a black person using blue paint, everything was so wrong but yet right with that video.

If you’re looking to subscribe to a YouTuber who makes you question their sanity while pulling off the perfect Goku at an Anime convention, EdwinGenerations is perfect for you. You’ll never find yourself bored while watching his videos. In matter of fact you might get addicted to him and soon find yourself at rehab. Trust me, it’s worth it.

While doing research for any possible news stories I came across a rather interesting YouTube channel. In an effort to promote themselves as a browser rather than just a search engine Goggle Chrome started a viral video campaign. Now I know many of you may think of just regular one of the mill commercials. However, what I found truly were some of the most entertaining videos I have ever seen on YouTube.

There’s a series of videos known as Chrome Shorts. Each video is made by a third party who creatively relays the idea that Google Chrome is the ideal browser. A couple of them were boring to me, but most of them had me laughing or in awe.

However, one that does stand out in mind is Chromance. The idea is someone who Goggles “The chicken or the egg?” and is taken on a wild ride to find th answer. Throughout the two minute video I found myself entertained by each second full of images, twists, and turns.

Another video that I found equally entertaining was by far the simplest. White outline drawings on a black ground with cat representing a browser, the bird being the internet, and the girl being the users. Without giving anything away this was by far the most comical of the videos.

I know, this isn’t exactly the typical Spotlight, but I can never let a good video go unnoticed. Speaking of good videos, Google Chrome released another video that is without the doubt the most interesting. I can’t say anything without spoiling it and nor can I embed the video on here for the “surprise ending” to work. Trust me when I saw click here and watch the quick 30 second video.

Edward Mucare, better known as Edarem on YouTube, is a popular 77 year-old man for his lip syncing, singing, and wacky videos. Many have drawn hundred of thousands of page views to his channel. His online fame, though, landed him back in jail.

His popular videos became so viral the law enforcement in both Florida and South Carolina, where he has lived, became knowledgeable of his online popularity. It’s really no surprise that we would wind on YouTube when you look at the fact we was a host of his own show, Uncle Ed. What is surprising is the nature of his crime. He’s a registered sex offender.

. His criminal problems started back in 1986, when The Orlando Sentinel identified Muscare as a former Kansas City television host who was arrested in San Deigo on charges of molesting a 14 year-old boy while in Orlando. In 1987 he pleaded no contest to sexual battery and was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison followed by 10 years of supervised probation.

His criminal records continue on. In 1998 he was accused of failing to promptly register as a sex offender after coming off his probation. He was hit with a similar charge in 2006 of failure to comply when he made the move out of state from Florida to South Carolina.

Edarem regerested as a sexual offender.

While in Florida Muscare took on the YouTube name, Edarem, and started uploading wacky and funny videos. Truly something that resembles his old career as a television host. It wasn’t until he moved to South Carolina that the law enforcement there warned him to no longer upload videos onto YouTube. This is where the stories start to have sides.

Edarem claims he was allow to upload videos onto YouTube in Florida, but didn’t realize the laws were different in South Carolina. When slapped with a warning, his friend figured it would be within the law to upload the videos for him on his own home computer. This is when the arrest was made.

Even with his record many of his fans have been writing to Lake County judge in Florida pleading for his freedom. It should also be noted that no child porn (video or images) were could on Edarem’s computer when it was taken away from him in South Carolina. Should he be punished for uploading videos onto YouTube, or should be freed?

Back in mid July, an analyst with Piper Jaffary, Gene Munster, put out a report detailing YouTube’s finances. In the report, he suggests something that will have many YouTubers going out to buy pitchforks. He believes that Google should charge a “nominal fee” to people to upload videos onto YouTube if the video isn’t appropriate for advertising.

Munster’s thesis is that Google needs to weight in the choices that they have to profit from YouTube. He currently estimates that the site will earn $323 million of advertising this year, mainly from big brand names such as Universal, Disney, and Verizon.

However, Munster still believes that the cost of storage and streaming will be more than YouTube’s revenue. A main reason for this he believes is all the videos uploaded such as family moments and South Park clips are losing Youtube money. He states that no advertiser wants to put ads on amateur videos nor can Google legally sell ads on pirated content unless there is already a pre-written agreement between them and the company. Munster also had this to say;

We believe YouTube could develop a hybrid model where it charges a portion of users to upload their videos. YouTube could develop technology based on its current Video Identification technology to protect copyrights to determine whether advertising could be sold against the video to be uploaded. If the algorithm deems Google could not monetize the video through advertising, it could require the user to pay a nominal fee to upload the video to the site, which could be based on the average lifetime cost of streaming for a given video.

We believe that if Google ever intends for YouTube to contribute significantly to its bottom line, the company needs to consider additional methods to charge its users, not just advertisers.

Now while he does have excellent points there are a few flaws in his equation. As it has already been pointed out in our recent article, YouTube soon to be profitable, Google bought up ton of black fiber for pennies on dollar which is being used to help stream YouTube. That alone cuts much of the costs to operate YouTube. Also, he speaks with the belief that today’s current advertising rates will stay the same in the future. This is far from the truth for not only YouTube, but for nearly every website and blog.

The internet is starting to take over other medias such as magazines, televisions, and radio stations. As this happens the value of advertising on the internet will dramatically increase over the years. YouTube will of course be the first ones to feel these effects. Munster further believes that if YouTube was to charge users then these problems would become that of another company’s. I highly doubt this, because of the vast amount of competition for free viral video uploads. YouTube’s traffic would split up between these websites.

Luckily for us, and for YouTube themselves, there’s no signs of currently considering such an idea. If they should consider anything it should be with the idea of expanding their brand into other markets. YouTube has all the elements of Hollywood; directors, producers, actors, writers, talent, and gossip. So why not become the next Hollywood, or at least part of them in a sense?

We’ll explore this idea more in a future article. Right now we as YouTubes really have nothing to worry about. As of last week Google stated that YouTube shows signs of turning a profit in the near future. However, the idea of a “nominal fee” is still there for someone at Google to consider.

First it was t-shirts, then it was the announcement of a movie, and now there’s plush toys. If you haven’t guessed it, I’m talking about Fred. Yes, you read that right, Fred now has his own line of plush toys. Now don’t act surprise by this news. We all knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

YouTubers are having mix reactions to Fred’s new merchandise. Some love it and feel this will open up the same doors for other YouTubers down the road. However, other dislike the idea and feel the Lucas and selling out yet again. Whichever side you’re on you have the admit that these toys are pretty cool looking.

There’s a total of three different plush toys available for $19.90 USD each. One is a normal Fred with a red t-shirt. Another sports his classic swim wear floats. Then finally, my personal favorite, Fred in a straight jackect. Which many feel he should actually be in surrounded by four white cousin walls. Also each Fred plus toy has nine different phrases. This is going to make a perfect gift for people seeking peace and quiet.

Two of the plus toys (red shirt and swim wear) are currently available at ShopJustice.com. Which is a store for young teenage girls. This is smart marketing on Lucas’ (or whomever works for him) part seeing how much of Fred’s audience are 13-17 year-old girls. Now if only Shane Dawson came out with his own plush toy.

You would think that over time these Spotlights would become harder to write. That at some point every YouTuber starts to feel like the previous lacking any sort of fresh style. That couldn’t possibly be further from the truth. When I do find it difficult to write about YouTuber it’s because their videos leave me speechless. One such YouTuber did just that with a comedy style that had me engaging with laugher.

Reckless Mike, pushes the boundaries on random comedy with success. More often than not I find myself confused rather than amused by those who try to be random. Sometimes it seems like they’re forcing that type of comedy style out of their heads. But not Reckless Mike, because you can tell it’s part of his personality.

Hamburgers is a good example of his random style. Honestly, I have no idea how the Burger King mascot bobble head ties in with a Klondike bar. All I know is that it had me laughing, and I’m satisfy with that. Now if you’re not into pure randomness you’ll enjoy his other videos.

His most recent video (as of this post) Saw 6 New Teaser Trailer was what really impressed me. There’s no doubt that he has excellent production quality, as does most of the YouTubers I spotlight. What really stood out to me was how he was able to reproduce the same look and feel as a Saw film. The same grime look, the sudden burst of speed with the camera shot to introduce the trap, and that iconic Jigsaw voice. He was then able perfectly combine his sense of humor into the Saw film elements.

Probably the best part of about running this website is being introduced to YouTubers such as Reckless Mike, and then introducing them to you, the readers. Between his comedy, extremely original video ideas, production quality, and out there personality you would be reckless not to subscribe to him. I defiantly expect many more laughs from him in the future.

More often than not, spotlights are mainly made up of comedian style YouTubers. Today is only slightly different, because this YouTuber decribes their style as a “hypnotist”. At fist it didn’t make sense. Then I started to watch some of his videos, and I found myself hypnotize by his unique humor.

At first,DannysStudio blended in with other YouTubers, because so many use the words like “productions”, “films”, and “studios” in their names. However, I gave him a chance and watched the first video that caught my attention, Mario KILLS Me. Right off the bat I knew I was watching someone who understood how to edit and angle his shots in a brilliant way. This quality isn’t a MUST need, but still excellent to have.

When I started to find myself wondering if his content was going to be good, I got my answer. The scene between him and old school Mario had me being built up with laugher. Without ruining anything, towards the end I found myself laughing to the point where my jaw started to hurt. What I saw reminded me of the conversation that I had with Peter Coffin where we concluded that all YouTubers do great when they stop taking their medicine. DannysStudio was showing me something that was truly insane in the best way possible.

Another video, How *Not* to Get YouTube Partnership, caught my eye with all the recent talks and complaints regard the partnership program. Not only was the production value, editing skills, and content were great, but so was his attitude. While I do feel bad for YouTubers who have been having difficulty with YouTube’s partnership program, it was refreshing to find someone who had a better attitude about it by creating that hilarious video.

Even though he isn’t a partner his videos are better than half of the partners I’ve came across. Each video is a hit in my book, and I always notice improvements being made. With that said, if you’re not subscribed to him then you rethink your taste in humor.

Instead of fixing all the current bugs on their website, YouTube decided to reinvent an idea in the laziest way possible. The viral video site has launched a beta (Test Tube) version of something known as “Comments Search”. This will allow users to search YouTube comments in real time. Thank God, because we all know that’s exactly what YouTube needed.

“The full comment will appear on a continuously updated results page, and ‘trending topics’ indicated the hottest topics of conversation on YouTube at that particular moment,” YouTube wrote in a blog post.

Seriously?! You people couldn’t come up with a different name than Twitter’s famous “trending topics”?! If YouTube is making cutbacks then I’m starting to see that they fired the creative employees first.

The idea is to “find out what YouTube users are saying” they sated. Let me translate that for you, the idea is to “find out how we can steal ideas and claim them as our own”. It doesn’t help that YouTube comments are widely regarded as some of the least informed or helpful commentary on the internet. Let’s see what the rednecks in Alabama think about Obama or how 5 year-old Samantha feels about Miley Cyrus leaving Twitter.

YouTube, please listen to us for once and drop this idea. Then go and fix the bugs and other current problems that haunt us. Make it where YouTubers’ subscribers will finally receive updates on newly uploaded videos. Afterwards, hire some employees to handle the Partnership Program better. YouTubers are tired of waiting months for a reply to only get rejected without a clear explanation.
