00:00 I'm losing my mind.
00:01 Keep playing it.
00:02 Keep playing it.
00:03 Welcome to WatchMojo.
00:05 And today we're looking at infamous moments
00:08 where popular social media influencers
00:10 had an emotional outburst on camera
00:12 for one reason or another.
00:14 What are you doing with your life
00:15 where you have hours of time to watch Twitch
00:19 and not $5 to provide for the content that you're watching?
00:23 Spamming riffs, Ninja.
00:27 A player taking advantage of annoying mechanics
00:29 to escape in a Battle Royale video game is common.
00:33 Frustrating, but common.
00:34 And also useful when the roles are reversed.
00:37 In this 2022 clip, popular gamer Ninja lost it
00:41 while playing Fortnite Battle Royale.
00:43 Did they riff?
00:44 What the hell is that?
00:49 Why is it riffed in the middle of the sky?
00:51 Ninja?
00:54 Just as he was laying the SmackDown on someone,
00:57 they used a rift in the sky.
00:59 Sparing themselves, but infuriating Ninja.
01:02 After some eerie silence,
01:03 he launched into a speech about players spamming this method.
01:07 Can't do it anymore, dude.
01:08 Can't.
01:09 Ninja then quit the Twitch stream
01:11 and announced he would take a break from playing,
01:13 something he later confirmed on social media.
01:16 This hiatus lasted for a week
01:17 before Ninja made his triumphant return to the platform.
01:21 I'm sorry, dude.
01:22 I know we were supposed to play all day.
01:22 I can't.
01:24 It's all good, man.
01:25 I'm sorry, dude.
01:26 I'll talk to you later, Cyp.
01:27 Chat, I don't know when I'm gonna be live, man.
01:29 I don't know where I'm gonna be live next,
01:30 but I gotta get off, man.
01:33 Banned and sad, Jessie Taylor.
01:36 Influencers, like celebrities,
01:38 sometimes get a bad rap for being out of touch.
01:40 Well, Jessie Taylor did that stereotype no favors.
01:44 Through her YouTube channel,
01:45 she released a since-deleted video
01:47 telling people to stop reporting her Instagram.
01:49 I am nothing without my following.
01:53 I am nothing without my following.
01:56 And when people try to hate on me and report me,
01:59 I've literally tried to be a (beep) better person.
02:02 The tearful Taylor alleged that trolls
02:04 had caused her account,
02:05 which had over 100,000 followers at the time,
02:08 to be deleted from the platform.
02:10 She stated this was how she earned a living
02:12 and that she wasn't cut out for a nine-to-five job.
02:15 I don't wanna lose that.
02:16 And I know people like to see me be down
02:19 and be like them and be like the 90 percenters,
02:21 the people that work nine-to-five.
02:23 That is not me.
02:25 I am in LA to not be like that.
02:28 Taylor later claimed she called the police over the matter,
02:30 telling them her situation was like murder,
02:33 which didn't go down well with anyone.
02:35 Getting my Instagram account deleted
02:37 was similar to somebody murdering me
02:39 because that's my career, getting deleted.
02:41 Eventually, Taylor's Instagram was reinstated,
02:43 which she attributes to the intense media reaction.
02:47 What the muffin?
02:48 GeorgeNotFound.
02:49 In the last couple of years,
02:50 GeorgeNotFound has exploded in popularity
02:53 due to his Minecraft content.
02:55 In this video, my friends have to try and make me laugh.
02:58 It's inevitable, George. You're gonna laugh.
03:00 If they can make me laugh three times, I lose.
03:05 He's teamed up with other streamers
03:07 like Dream and Sapnap on the server Dream SMP,
03:10 where creators indulge in role-playing
03:12 on the Sandbox game.
03:13 In 2021, the crew streamed a basketball tournament
03:16 in Minecraft.
03:17 My setup is broken.
03:18 My setup is broken.
03:19 We're playing overtime.
03:20 George, come on. Come on, George.
03:21 We're playing. We're playing.
03:22 And for a while, all was fine.
03:24 But then, not so much.
03:26 George exploded in rage as Callahan's play,
03:29 which he thought should be called off, wasn't.
03:31 Rather different from his usual laid-back persona,
03:34 part of this uncharacteristic,
03:36 shouty and expletive-filled rant
03:38 included a rather mild,
03:40 "What the muffin just happened?"
03:42 which appears to have delighted his fans
03:44 and gained him new ones along the way.
03:47 Dissing DJs.
03:49 Madeline RG.
03:50 This has to be satire, right?
03:52 Either way, real DJs had a field day with this one.
03:56 I don't think they're remixing the song on the spot.
03:58 I think they make it ahead of time.
03:59 So what dials are they pressing?
04:01 What are the buttons doing?
04:02 Is it a volume dial?
04:04 Is it even connected to anything?
04:06 After Madeline RG posted a video
04:08 to TikTok of herself in tears,
04:10 questioning what DJs' mixing boards are for
04:12 and convinced that they remix songs ahead of time,
04:15 a number of artists responded.
04:16 Some simply took to remixing the video live
04:19 and letting that speak for itself.
04:21 (upbeat music)
04:23 Others went with a more practical approach
04:30 and explained their job more diplomatically,
04:32 in case RG was actually curious
04:34 and not just taking shots at the profession
04:37 or seeking engagement.
04:38 We all know which response we preferred.
04:41 (imitating music)
04:44 (upbeat music)
04:46 The mystery of the vanishing likes, Mikaela Testa.
05:02 In 2019, Instagram announced the plan
05:05 to remove displaying the number of likes a post got.
05:08 - If we can make like counts private,
05:09 it might actually allow people to focus a little bit more
05:11 on connecting with the people that they care about.
05:13 We've been testing this
05:14 in a number of countries around the world
05:16 and we're gonna start testing
05:17 with a small percentage of people here in the US,
05:19 hopefully next week.
05:20 - The intention was to reduce the negative effects
05:23 on self-esteem from the number of hearts one receives
05:26 and instead have users focus on the content they post.
05:29 This went down like a lead balloon
05:31 for influencer Mikaela Testa.
05:33 - I'm just trying to stay calm
05:34 so I can get these words out properly.
05:37 - She said that the platform wasn't doing this
05:40 to protect mental health, but to control engagements
05:43 and claimed she and other businesses
05:44 were suffering from the ban.
05:46 After people were less than sympathetic
05:48 to the video she posted,
05:49 she stated she would be taking a break from socials.
05:52 Testa clarified that her emotional reaction
05:54 was about the hurtful messages she had received
05:57 for her opinion on the matter,
05:58 not the platform removing likes.
06:00 - I just think I'm gonna have a really big break
06:03 from social media for a while
06:05 because it's really just...
06:08 - Cheap fans, Kira Chats.
06:10 Some streamers hold the opinion
06:12 that simply watching them isn't enough.
06:14 And that was the case for Kira Chats in 2020.
06:17 Known at the time as Bad Bunny,
06:19 Kira Chats went viral for her stream
06:22 after she slated fans for not subscribing
06:24 to her Twitch channel for $5 a month.
06:27 - How did my whole speech about how I need subs
06:30 to get this stream going, if you like the content,
06:31 blah, blah, blah, how that results in zero subs?
06:34 - She went on to say that if viewers
06:35 have hours of free time to watch her,
06:37 they should have $5 to support her financially.
06:40 - $5 a month!
06:43 How do you have hours of time to watch me and not $5?
06:49 I don't know, what are you doing with your life?
06:54 - This isn't the first time the streamer
06:56 has ranted about this incidence.
06:58 The year prior, she was called out
06:59 after describing her fans as cheap
07:01 and leeching her free entertainment.
07:04 - That's the reality of it, period.
07:06 Period, if you're watching Twitch as a non-donating,
07:08 non-sub, you are leeching.
07:11 - Yikes.
07:12 Snake Bites, Ayesha Speed.
07:14 When Ayesha Speed set off to India to make some content,
07:18 it didn't go as well as he was probably hoping.
07:20 Upon arriving at the Orangutan Esports facility,
07:23 he met an iguana and snake.
07:25 - Do you wanna hold him?
07:26 - Let me hold him, let me hold him.
07:27 - Okay, just be careful.
07:28 (men yelling)
07:30 (Ayesha screams)
07:32 - Everyone seemed all fine and dandy
07:34 with the iguana at first,
07:35 but after Speed led it onto his shoulder,
07:38 things took a turn.
07:39 Mid-freakout, it appears the snake lunged
07:41 to bite the creator,
07:42 and he had yet another loud outburst,
07:44 screaming and pulling his pants down,
07:46 for some reason.
07:48 - Damn it.
07:48 (men screaming)
07:51 - Later, he returned to meet the snake again.
07:54 If you're thinking that was a bad idea, you'd be right.
07:56 It went badly once more,
07:58 as the reptile went for his face this time.
08:00 No one really knows whether these reactions
08:02 were genuine or not.
08:05 - He just bit me again, that's two times, bro.
08:07 - Why did he bite me?
08:08 - He was just trying to kiss you.
08:10 - Oh my God, Shane Dawson.
08:12 If there was a world record
08:14 for repeatedly uttering the words,
08:15 "Oh my God," in a set amount of time,
08:17 Shane Dawson's stream in 2020 would be in the running.
08:21 - Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
08:24 - At the time, Taddy Westbrook was feuding
08:26 with James Charles,
08:27 and the former released a video accusing Dawson
08:30 and Jeffree Star of encouraging her
08:32 to air the dirty laundry.
08:33 Dawson, for some reason, decided to live stream
08:36 his reaction to the content via Instagram.
08:38 - I don't wanna say mean things about people.
08:40 This is insane, this is insane,
08:42 this person literally, oh my God.
08:46 - On top of his frustration
08:47 in muttering the three magic words over and over again,
08:50 he accused Westbrook of being manipulative
08:52 and lying about her experience.
08:54 It was Dawson's now husband, Ryland Adams,
08:56 who did damage control by persuading him to stop streaming.
09:00 - You should've done a video.
09:01 - Oh my God.
09:02 - Get off.
09:04 - Scary pronouns.
09:05 - Heel versus baby face.
09:07 It's strange the things people get really,
09:10 really upset about.
09:12 In 2023, the video game Starfield had its beta released.
09:16 In it, you can create a custom character,
09:18 and to make it more inclusive,
09:19 you can select your preferred pronouns.
09:21 This sounds nice, unless you're an influencer
09:24 like Heel versus Baby Face, also known as Az.
09:27 - There is nothing I love more.
09:30 Taking my headphones off.
09:31 - He went on a sweary and shouty rant
09:33 filled with so much over-the-top anger
09:35 about this one aspect,
09:36 claiming that including pronouns ruined the immersion
09:39 of the space-venturing RPG.
09:41 - Sorry, did you wanna get immersed in our world?
09:43 Yeah, well, guess what?
09:45 (beep)
09:45 Pronouns!
09:46 - Many folks on social media retaliated by mocking him
09:49 and other influencers for their intense reactions.
09:52 - Man has opinion about video game.
09:55 Internet goes absolutely nuclear crazy
09:58 about opinion on video game.
10:01 Is this actually about opinion on video game?
10:04 No, this has nothing to do with opinion on video game.

10:23 - Instagram famous, Morgan Osman.
10:27 Sometimes social media can give people
10:29 an inflated sense of self.
10:31 In 2023, a video went viral that featured Morgan Osman
10:35 arguing with another passenger on a plane.
10:38 - Call me a (beep) again, you guys did nothing wrong.
10:40 - I said shut up.
10:41 - Osman later claimed the disagreement began
10:43 when she was accused of sitting in someone else's seat,
10:46 which she denied.
10:48 It's not exactly clear who initiated what,
10:50 but Osman certainly escalated things.
10:52 After grabbing her luggage to make her way off the plane,
10:55 she noticed that she was being recorded
10:57 and had quite the response to dish out.
11:00 - Fill me, I'm Instagram famous, you (beep) bum.
11:02 - Osman, who also appeared in two episodes
11:05 of the reality show, Bad Girls Club,
11:07 claimed she left the plane to avoid getting violent,
11:09 but doubled down by referring to everyone
11:11 who was filming her as bums.
11:14 - Don't provoke me and you'll get a reaction.
11:15 I'm the sweetest girl.
11:16 Nobody films the good shit I do for people,
11:18 so whatever, and it wouldn't have been a sensation
11:21 if it wasn't sensational 10 second clip.
11:23 I don't feel bad about any of it.
11:25 I'll be the crazy plane lady.
11:27 - When everything gets a bit too much,
11:29 which influencer do you watch or listen to
