YouTubers Who Don't Suck

"**YouTubers Who Don't Suck**" is an original song by Malinda Kathleen Reese.

## Theme

In "YouTubers Who Don’t Suck", Malinda addresses the opinions of some people in early 2018 saying comments which demean the people who upload content currently on the site such as that they prefer the "old YouTube", how YouTubers are losing the original goals for their channel for money or popularity and how in mainstream media are criticizing the creators for being talentless and stupid. She does this in what she calls a "compliment track" or "reverse diss track" for all of the YouTubers that she, and many others, think shouldn’t be put in a group of people that they consider bad influences to the site, more namely Logan Paul and an incident that happened also in early 2018 where he uploaded a video that has now been taken down that showed a person that had committed suicide.

## Lyrics

[Intro]

There's been a lot of talk about YouTube these days

People saying "I miss the old YouTube"

YouTubers selling out their brands

And yes this video is brought to you by Squarespace whether you need a domain website or online store make it on Squarespace

YouTube has been taking a hit

Big media thinking that all YouTubers are talentless or stupid

To which we say "You're not wrong"

But you're also not right

So let me break it down for you

Here are a few YouTubers who aren't completely the worst

[Verse 1]

They all started out without goals of fortune or fame

Just making content in their bedroom and look what it became!

Phil DeFranco, you're keeping it real

Digging faster, driving deeper into the heart of our culture's deal

Molly Burke and Jessica KH [KF]

Voices in understanding disability, capability

Girls, you're outstanding!

VlogBrothers (DFTBA), you know what that spells

Watching SciShow and Crash Course? I'm gaining brain cells!

And Koshy, you've got puns for days

Mix and match the choicest witticisms, words and phrases

Go for days and

With Jet and Helga by your side

There's nothing you can't turn simply inside out with funny

Want sunny? Try Brian, voice of honey

Hull is always making us remember what's worth more than money

Like Nathan Zed and Jon Cozart

Who don't post a lot...

But remain two of the most thoughtful humans this industry has got

[Chorus]

This is a compliments track

It's not your average diss track

But it sounds just like a diss track

But it's a compliments track

For the YouTubers who don't suck

[Verse 2]

Wanna feel some serious feels? Go straight to Dodie Clark

Music that hits you in the gut is her trademark

Then you've got Andrew Huang and Roomie who make metered sense

Testing the limits of music with their experiments

Thomas Sanders, you make me so happy every time you speak

While also helping us understand and love what makes us unique

And if you don't know Rhett and Link, you should really fix that

Child friendship turned bomb, better get the hazmat!

Speaking of other relationships we can all aspire to

Evynne and Peter Hollens make music that will inspire You

Like lightning on fire, they know exactly what to do

To pick up a track and lack it back with slick vocals and arrangements

Hoo!

[Chorus]

This is a compliments track

It's not your average diss track (It's not your average diss track)

But it sounds just like a diss track (But it sounds just like a diss track)

But it's a compliments track (It's a compliments track)

[Verse 3]

MatPat! You help us unite over a common love

Love of games, of theory of what's going on above the storyline

Anna Akana, yeah she sees things this way too

Bringing cinematic content that makes you a better you

Jacksfilms! You're making me wanna yell 'YIAY'!

ElleoftheMills: girl your storytelling is nothing but fly!

Tyler Oakley: LGBTQ+ pioneer

Akilah Obviously leading the social comedy frontier

Your girl Superwoman hustles harder everyday

Empowering, not cowering with her movement Girl Love underway

Hannah Witton, sex positive

You advocate for feminists

Physics Girl: you're so smart

Helping girls excel in STEM and it's those benefits

It's unbelievable how many more

Brilliant YouTube artists are making us click and adore

It's crazy

All of these things that we can do

The content that changes lives and subverts inequality

'Til we're blue in the face

And you know what? That's what it's about!

At the end of the day, viewers - it's your eyes that count

[Bridge]

Every creator and brand

Is trying and vying and crying for your attention

There's a tension between public and private

And it's in the algorithm's interest to drive it

Your views are your greatest asset!

The peak of this platform ain't passed yet

It's YouTube it's on you

To make and watch new content and

Keep your standard set high

[Chorus]

This is a compliments track (Oh)

So take in this message I'm saying (It's not your average diss track oh yeah)

With no intention of condescending (But it sounds just like a diss track)

We gotta remember that in the ending (Oh, but it's a compliments track, oh)

[Outro]

We're all the ones who define what's trending
