Channel: Heliophobian
Date: 2024-04-06

This YouTube Short is a segment from the Heliophobian YouTube video 'This CRIMINAL YouTube prankster must be stopped (Yanike),' edited audiovisually to more appropriately fit in with a short-form video format ala TikTok or Instagram Reels. On this Minecraft short video, we react to how YaNike's pranks have scaled in extremity to target children and commit criminal assault with eggs.

Meanwhile, in that full video, we discuss how the prank channel niche has been pushed to this extreme point.

As we all know, the YouTube prank channel niche has become oversaturated in recent years, with channels such as Brent Rivera and AMP World taking prevalence in the genre in recent years through flashy videos appealing to a younger audience. 22-year-old @yanike.officiel  has made a name for himself within the genre with a range of controversial videos he has titled 'Chef's Surprise' ("Surprise du chef" in French), in which he unconsensually throws contaminated solutions on passengers on the Brussels metro.

Following the most extreme one of those back in November 2023, the STIB-MIVB filed a police report alongside one of the victims, leading to the suspension of the YaNike channel being accessed within Belgium and an arrest in January 2024. However, in spite of that, the 'pranks' have continued in a more extreme manner, in which assault with eggs and targeting children have become just attention-grabbing activities in this youngster's pursuit of fame.

So yeah, in conclusion, please ban him, YouTube. promote me in the algorithm a bit more as well xoxo
