DramatizeMe

DramatizeMe is a Ukrainian YouTube channel that dedicates to teaching people morals and telling stories of societal injustice.
==History==
When the channel began, it was known as B.O.A.T.S (Based On A True Story). The channel's first few videos and skits were about infidelity in marriage, though later it moved to making skits about issues in relationships in general, usually abuse and maltreatment. A lot of these issues are topics such as racism, bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment, abuse, classism, entitlement, ableism and etc. Due to the nature of its videos, it has been accused of plagiarizing Dhar Mann, however this opinion has been less common due to the nature of DramatizeMe's videos focusing more on drama and having more tension, whereas Dhar's videos tend to prioritize teaching lessons and have a degree of irony in them most of the time. However, the channel is still subject to the same criticism of repetitive stories, poor execution of stories, and several situations being too unrealistic. While Dhar Mann has made the effort to feature LGBTQ+ characters in his stories as much as he can, viewers have noted that the channel's relationship-based stories almost only feature straight couples, with LGBTQ+ characters being a rarity.
The channel was relatively unknown til July 2021, when Penguinz0 reacted to their video Man Takes Dirty Revenge On His Ex-Wife, Then Karma Hits Back. Part 1 @DramatizeMe.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_WC8HCBYCQ Even though Charlie mocked the video, he called the video wholesome and ended his reaction stream by saying it was "good". Even his viewers praised it's quality and said it was better than Dhar Mann. 
As of Summer 2021, the channel has focused more on creating stories related to prostitution, harassment and women's issues, though a lot of them also focused on disability and how it affects people's lives. The channel's most viewed video centers around a kitten with a defective limb and due to it, the pet store owner believes no one will want it, only for a boy to buy it. When the owner tells him that the kitten is defective, the boy reveals that he himself is also disabled and has a prosthetic leg and then hugs the kitten after he adopts it. Another video features a man cheating on his wife and her getting suspicious of his behavior. Eventually, she finds out his affair with her best friend, who also betrayed her. She puts a puzzle together and calls off her relationship with her cheating husband and best friend. There's also a video where an abusive husband is eventually recorded and is called out for only acting kind when he gains once he's caught. They also made a video of a couple who find a girl in a car, only for said girl's husband not to be an abusive husband and the female of the initial couple leaves with him while they leave their former partners behind. Another video of theirs has a greedy man valuing money over his relations and thinking his disloyalty to others, including his wife, is getting him real money, only to find out he's been receiving nothing and getting a divorce without any money.
As of November 2021, the channel has started varying its content with PSA or informational-style videos, with research presented by actor Serj Avakian. Such videos are exposés to spread awareness of public issues that viewers will commonly encounter, from a video about companies using child labor, to another about online dating scams including a segment on the notorious “Tinder Swindler”.
The channel later created a spin-off channel known as LOVEBUSTER, which is about stories where characters find love in strange places and in unexpected situations. A majority of the main characters in each story are female.
