Best Trends

Best Trends is an American commentary YouTuber known for his former content related to Fortnite top 5 videos and other miscellaneous on the game's features and updates, but was criticized in the past for his misleading thumbnails and clickbaiting content. He is notorious for his videos 5 Minecraft YouTubers Who Have Sworn and 5 Fortnite YouTubers Who Have Sworn on Accident, both videos being heavily mocked on various social medias and subsequently became popular memes.
==History==
===Beginning===
Best Trends uploads his first video on July 2017, titled Top 5 SADDEST Moments In YouTube Videos! 😢 (DanTDM, Guava Juice, Jacksepticeye, Roman Atwood), he also mentions a massive giveaway of 30 iTunes, Google Play or Minecraft gift cards and asks the viewers to subscribes to his channel if they want to win a gift card.
Best Trends would later create more top 5 videos focusing on popular Youtubers such as Jake Paul, DanTDM, CaseyNeistat and Kwebbelkop. He would explain facts and miscellaneous on their lives (e.g. Roman Atwood being robbed or DanTDM voicing a character in a movie).
===Fortnite content===
When Fortnite was rising in popularity in July 2017, Best Trends decided to jump in the gaming trends and upload his first top 5 video on Fortnite titled 5 Hackers That Were Banned For Cheating in Fortnite: Battle Royale...! and would kept on uploading his new content, gaining hundreds to millions of views per upload.
===YouTubers swearing in video games===
On June 30th, 20175 Minecraft Youtubers Who Have Sworn in Videos on Accident! (DanTDM, PopularMMOs, Preston, SSundee) Best Trends uploaded a video entitled "5 Minecraft YouTubers Who Have Sworn", where he discusses YouTubers DanTDM, PopularMMOs, Stampylonghead, Preston and SSundee using swears during their videos. Viewers mocked Best Trends for pointing out Minecraft YouTubers using profanities in their videos, claiming there is nothing wrong using swears and quite pointless to make an entire video on such a subject. The video was deleted afterwards but was reuploaded by a user5 Minecraft YouTubers who have sworn [REUPLOAD].
Best Trends would upload 5 Fortnite YouTubers Who Have SWORN on Accident! (Ali-A, Dakotaz, Lachlan). In late January 2018, the video was heavily similar to it's Minecraft predecessor and once again was mocked by various people for it's absurdity, with comments saying Best Trends was running out of ideas for content. The video was deleted but was reuploaded by another user later on5 Fortnite YouTubers Who Have SWORN on Accident! (Ali-A, Dakotaz, Lachlan).

In late March 2018, PewDiePie uploaded a videoFORTNITE CRINGE, where he reacted to various clips of cringe moments in Fortnite and Best Trends' video makes an appearance.
===Fake Giveaways Accusations & Criticism===
On March 12th, 2018, YouTuber mrtubby200 made a video titled Best Trends Fake V-Bucks Giveaways/New Updates Coming To Fortnite, accusing Best Trends of making false giveaways and deceive his audience. In the video, mrtubby200 discusses on the lack of viewers mentioning little about receiving giveaways from Best Trends, nor Best Trends making any announcements when the winners will be called and doesn't make any congratulations to the winners within comment sections. mrtubby200 researched on Best Trends' Twitter posts and there was not a single announcement on those who won the giveaways or fans thanking Best Trends for the giveaways. 
mrtubby200 claimed for every video Best Trends lied on the giveaways, in total he would have performed 48 community guideline strikes. mrtubby200 would go on Twitter and ask Best Trends to send proof of the giveaways and would make an apology video if Best Trends do show proof. In addition, mrtubby200 made a Reddit post on the subject, with comments pointing out Best Trends making videos on already known facts about Fortnite and the clickbait thumbnails.https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/83zndr/can_we_talk_about_how_best_trends_on_youtube_with/
On March 28, 2018, mrtubby200 made a follow up video titled Best Trends Channel Terminated Here's Why and goes in details about how Best Trends was terminated and made another channel with the same name and content. Although this did not lasted long when Best Trends come back on the platform. mrtubby200 would make a third and last video on Best Trends and his return.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YxAJ5Se_KA
YouTuber comedian Drew Gooden made a satire video on Best Trends' Fortnite content, pointing out all the useless facts in 12 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do in Fortnite: Battle Royale! and how Best Trends does not know how to properly edit his videos.
===Changing Content ===
On February 21, 2021, Best Trends uploaded Little Girl Goes To Heaven While Her Parents Watching (emotional), showing the last moments of a little girl struggling to survive from an illness, with her parents at her side. In the video, Best Trends stated he would donate 10$ to the Starlight Children's Foundation for every likes the video receives. It is the most viewed video on the channel, with over 18 million views and 898K likes as of today. 
This was a complete surprise to his viewers, as he usually made top 5 videos about Fortnite. His new content would go on various topics, from animals escaping zoos to convicts being sentenced to prison for the rest of their lives and quickly changed into Karens being exposed or getting punished. However, his views will slowly decline and even less than his previous Fortnite content usually gathered. Some of those videos have exaggerated thumbnails depicting unrealistic situations and not even related to the video's subjects, mostly used as a nefarious method of clickbaiting views.
=== Men vs. Women/MGTOW Content ===
Best Trends would change his content once more in late September 2022, this time it focuses on the differences between men and women in society. His first video on the subject gained a large number of dislikes and his views have drastically decreased compared to several months ago. Most of his thumbnails have questionable appearance of violence, often depicting a man violently hitting a woman in order to attract the most views possible. 
Most of his video titles has the word "MGTOW", which is an acronym for Men Going Their Own Way, an online community entirely focusing on anti-feminist, male supremacist ideology, intense misogyny, mostly centering and viewing women as inferior beings to men. The group is also known for harassing women online and also supports alt-right and white supremacist ideologies. Best Trends also seems to strongly advocates for the MGTOW, as seen on his channel's about page where it states "Observations, Opinions & Advice on Modern Women, MGTOW (Men Getting There Own Way)".https://www.youtube.com/@BestTrendsYT/about
===Temporary inactivity===
For over several months, Best Trends didn't upload videos. It is unknown why he went inactive and he never made a message in his community page to his subscribers (his last community post dates back from a year ago). 
===Removal of the MGTOW videos & Courtroom Content===
Best Trends has recently removed a large portion of his content, over twenty videos with the subject of MGTOW have been either privated or deleted. Curiously enough, only one video about MGTOW content remains on his channel. It is unknown what were the reasons for the large removal of his content, possibly due to viewers reporting on the questionable thumbnails of his MGTOW videos. Best Trends also decided to return to his previous type of content, which was documentaries of courtrooms with convicts sentenced into prison. His channel's about page also changed into "Only The Highest Quality Courtroom Documentaries".
For some unknown reasons, Best Trends would have to remove again a large portion of his videos again, most of them being courtroom content. He made no community posts about those changes.
