Weird News Tuesday: Wednesday Edition

I really am beginning to regret making the titles of segments include days because whenever I post it on a different day it becomes all the more obvious. Anyway, sorry for missing out on this post yesterday but Mum was on the computer for the majority of the day and I never got the chance to write a full-sized post. If you do not already know, this segment is where I go on a news site (a different one each week) and find some of the weird things that people have considered news-worthy enough to write a story on. This week I will be using The Australian (online website). We all know how dangerous using a phone while driving is  but many people do not fully understand the dangers of using a phone and walking. Sadly (for the woman), a lady walked off St Kilda Pier because she was to focused on her Facebook news feed. Luckily she is still alive but oh, that would have been great to have seen occur. What would you have done? What could you have done? It just goes to show that "walking and social media is no LOLing matter" (apparently that is what Victoria Police said but I doubt it). I really thought The Australian was a little more sophisticated.

The next story talks about two of the most searched topics on Google as well as a third which, ironically, are all concerned about life and death. The first two are for deceased actors Cory Monteith (best known for his role as Finn Hudson on Glee) and the more recently deceased actor Paul Walker (best known for his role in the Fast and Furious franchise). The third is of the royal birth of baby George to his parents William and Kate. It really is wonderful in this age that we can just search whatever we want (and I mean whatever we want) on Google and receive a number of results. In other news, there is a "raging" debate on whether children who misbehave in school should have to say "sorry". Some are even going as far to say that they should not actually use the word because they have no idea what it means but rather use it as a means of escaping a worse punishment. I never knew that this "raging" debate was going on but apparently it is, and it makes the news! You may have realised by now that it is a lot harder to find odd news stories that are not on the home page when there is no tab marked "odd-spot" or something similar. It does make finding the stories harder but I will not give up on it yet. New extremes of entertainment are emerging with a 20km endurance challenge called the Tough Mudder becoming increasingly popular around the World. It is basically a 20km obstacle course challenging common fears such as heights, claustrophobia, fire and electricity (oh, you better be scared because that electricity is coming to get you). It really does seem gruelling and very tough yet many people are flocking to it by the week. It began in Harvard all the way over in America and already has arrived at our shores in a very short space of time. In 'exciting' (and somewhat selfish) news, Australian scientists have reason to believe that the New Zealand Kiwi bird may have been descended from an Australian animal. As the story says, Australia is giving New Zealand "the bird". It has also been discovered that perhaps female scientists are 'more creative' when it comes to science meaning that they are more likely to be at the forefront of innovation. All this because of the way women view abstract art. I am just going to say that it was probably a female who carried out this investigation. There really is a lot of weird things going on in our world these days.

It is very hard to find weird stories on The Australian (plus I could barely read any of it because of their stupid digital subscriptions). See you tomorrow!

Top 5 Most Successful YouTubers

You all know how much I love YouTube so in today's post I would like to compile a list of the top five most successful YouTubers in terms of subscribers. I hope you can learn to embrace them in the same way as millions of people all around the world.

1. Smosh

With 11,032,350 subscribers it is no wonder that these two comedic YouTubers have the most subscribed channel. The comedic duo consists of Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla who began the channel in 2005. Smosh are known for their comedic videos but have also created gaming channels, Spanish channels and animation/cartoon channels which have some pretty cool videos. Smosh upload a new video every Friday and you never know what they are going to come up with next. As with all the following YouTubers I highly recommend you check out their videos and subscribe to them while you are there because they really are one-of-a-kind on a site where there are so many similar styled videos.

2. PewDiePie

This Swedish YouTuber with 9,911,844 subscribers is a hilarious video-game commentator who creates some pretty out-there videos. On a site where "out-there" is greatly embraced it is no wonder that he has become such an internet sensation. His channel was only created in 2009 so it is amazing how fast he has risen in the YouTube hierarchy. In May of 2013 PewDiePie was awarded the Most Popular Social Show in the inaugural Starcount Social Stars Awards in Singapore. If you are into comedy, games and fun then you really should check out his channel.

3. Jenna Marbles

9,766,233 Subscribers do not lie when they say that Jenna Marbles is one of the best YouTubers around. Jenna Marbles uploads a new video every Wednesday and also writes a blog about different thoughts that go through her mind. Often her videos are a little "out-there" but so are all of the popular YouTube sensations. If you like someone who says what they think than Jenna Marbles is the YouTuber/Blogger for you.

4. Ray William Johnson

Ray William Johnson is the American video blogger, producer and actor who is  best known for his Equals Three (=3) series in which he provides hilarious commentary on viral videos. It is no wonder that this man has become the fourth most subscribed channel with 9,539,823 and has recently made the announcement to upload more equals three videos every week, an announcement that could move him up the YouTube hierarchy. In May of this year he signed a deal to produce a sitcom for the American Television Network FX which just goes to show how YouTube really can change your life as well as help it move beyond your wildest dreams.

5. NigaHiga

The fifth but far from least YouTuber on this list has earned his spot through hard work, dedication and comedy that appears natural. 9,151,836 Subscribers will attest to this and show you how hilarious and funny NigaHiga is. NigaHiga was created in July of 2006 and has since grown into a comedic icon. HigaTV is another of Ryan Higa's YouTube channels which contains vlogs and behind-the-scenes videos of the making of many of his weekly videos. NigaHiga's community has grown immensely over the previous years and it would not be hard to envision him moving further up these rankings in the coming years.

Image Source: http://youtube.wikia.com/wiki/Nigahiga

All of the above YouTubers are worthy of their rankings and have worked hard and show pure talent to become as popular as they are. I strongly recommend you check out all of their videos and if you like what you see then do subscribe and maybe you could help bring their rankings up.

YouTube Subscriptions Part 6

Part 6 and we are already way past half-way through these. It really is starting to show, and this time I actually mean it. Already I have begun to skip videos less and less. Of course, even in the channels that I really enjoy watching I sometimes skip videos that would not interest me. However, it has saved me a lot of time and has actually come in handy for my training for Kokoda as I do not have to slow down to skip certain videos. Cutting down on my YouTube subscriptions really has helped me. At the start of this post I am at 75 subscriptions (I may have lost one somewhere between this post and the previous one), let's get this number down. Also, this is the last one in this series so you will be able to see the results right at the end of this post.

Screen Junkies is the first channel of the day I am unsubscribing from as I no longer watch any of their videos. They make honest trailers which is where they put voice overs on trailers that make it a whole lot funnier. I am simply unsubscribing as I have stopped watching their videos. Shane Dawson TV is another of those channels that makes funny music videos and the like but I am unsubscribing as I no longer watch any of his videos. Shannon Uncut and Shannon Uncut 2 are the channels of an Australian YouTuber who is an older-teenager. Shit Girls Say is a hilarious channel that has, sadly, five videos of a guy (that is dressed up really well as a girl) saying this girls would say. It is really funny but they have not uploaded in such a long time that I am unsubscribing. Shooter Williamson is another Australian Comedy YouTuber who makes really funny videos on his thoughts. He often uses a 'bogan' accent which makes it heaps funnier. I am definitely remaining subscribed. Shut Up Cartoons is the cartoon channel of Smosh but I only subscribed for the Oishi High School Battle cartoon series they had which was great except it has since finished. So it is a goodbye to them. Silvakeyzz is a channel I only subscribed to because it had all the 'Bogan Pride' episodes on it (a TV show created by Rebel Wilson). As I have finished Bogan Pride I am unsubscribing. Smosh, which is the most subscribed channel on YouTube, is one of my favourite channels that I love watching as they do have funny videos which they upload every Friday (so we get them on Saturday in Australia) which are genuinely comedic. Star Kid Potter is a channel of a theatre group which makes funny parodies of films or television shows in a musical length. Recently they have also made their own original shows which are funny but I do not watch them any more so am unsubscribing from it. Strawburry17 is the main channel of one of the vloggers I watch (Lifeburry). I only ever subscribed to this channel because of that reason but I never watch the videos so it is a goodbye. SuperNateB3 is one of the channels I have no idea how I managed to subscribe to them so, of course, it is a goodbye.

TAC Victoria is the official YouTube channel of the Victorian Branch of the TAC which I subscribed to while working on the Wipe off 5 Assignment earlier this year. I am unsubscribing to them as, obviously, I have finished the assignment and no longer need it. Tay Zonday is a YouTuber I found through one of my other YouTubers. He has a really deep, distinct voice that makes his videos interesting but I do not watch them anymore so I would not know. Teen is the official YouTube channel of Teen.com which I subscribed to because a few of my YouTubers work for them and their channel but I do not watch their videos anymore so goodbye! Teenageflakes1, how did I subscribe to you? Goodbye. The Boston Globe is the YouTube channel of the Boston Globe which I only subscribed to for updates on The Boston Bombings, so since that is over so is my subscription. The Ellen Show is the official YouTube channel of The Ellen Show which I subscribe to as they upload some of the best clips from the show that day which is good so I do not have to watch the whole show. My subscription is remaining where it is, thank you. The Fine Bros make videos of peoples reactions to other YouTube Videos. It is good because they have Elders React, Teens React, Kids React and YouTubers React so there is a lot of variety and they do have very interesting and funny reactions. I am definitely keeping my subscription. The Grid Monster is the Vlog channel of a friend of a YouTuber I like watching but I never really watched her videos so it is another goodbye to yet another channel. The Hunger Games Movie is the official channel of The Hunger Games movies so of course I am remaining subscribed! Do you think I am feeling ill? Theme Park Studio is another of the channels I have no idea how I managed to subscribe to. Goodbye I guess to them. The Most Popular Girls in School is a hilarious web series online which is made of stop-motion animation barbie dolls and the like. But trust me, do not let anyone under the age of 15 watch it as it has very adult material. No sex scenes but it is mentioned a lot and there is a fair bit of swearing but that is what adds to it's hilarity. I am so not unsubscribing!

The Pet Collective is a channel dedicated solely to animal videos and they have some really cute ones on there! They also have several live cams of puppies and other dogs. It is really a great channel and I recommend you subscribe because just one video will certainly lift your mood (unless you are someone who feels no emotion or just really hates animals). I am remaining subscribed in case you did not get that. Tobuscus is a channel I only ever really watched once and now he's uploads are just really clogging up my news feeds. He made some really good music parodies of trailers which are funny but they are all of the videos of his I actually ever watched so it is a goodbye to him. Tom Ska is the person behind the ASDF movies which are really funny by the way and he also makes really good short films so of course I am remaining subscribed! Troye Sivan, I have no idea how I managed to subscribe to you so it is a goodbye from me. Tyler Oakley is yet another mystery, goodbye as well. Victorious Sponge is a comedy channel on YouTube I subscribed to while procrastinating so it is a goodbye to them, though they are funny. Vlogs With Jim is the Vlog Channel of Jim Chapman who, if you had of read one of the previous parts, has a main channel which I unsubscribed from because I only watch his vlogs. So, it is certainly not a goodbye to this one today. Watch us Live and Stuff is the Vlog channel of Anthony from Smosh and his girlfriend, Kalel. I unsubscribed from Anthony's personal channel as he said he was moving to that one and they do upload a lot of videos but I never find myself wanting to watch them so it is a goodbye from me completely from Anthony, besides Smosh of course! WDWINFO is a channel dedicated to all things Walt Disney World and the like but I only ever watched one of their videos as it is a fan-made channel so it is a goodbye to them. Wicked Australia is a channel dedicated to the musical Wicked for Australia but I only watch the official Wicked one I mentioned in Part 5 two days ago so it is a goodbye to them and the same goes for Wicked the Musical Oz. Winter Spring Pro is a channel one of my favourite YouTubers was on but he has since left and so I have stopped watching these videos and it is a goodbye from me.

WongFu Productions is another channel I watched for a few weeks and then stopped so it is a goodbye from me. Wyndham City is a channel I can not remember subscribing to and for what reason so it is a goodbye from me. xXJessWorldXx is another one of those channels, why does this keep happening to me. Well, best unsubscribe and move on. Yaouzer and YeahImNatalia are also being unsubscribed for the same reason. What is happening? YouNowLive is another one of these, seriously, something must be going on. YourChonny is the second or third channel of popular Australian YouTuber Mychonny who makes funny comedy videos. I am definitely remaining subscribed. Finally, the last channel on my subscription list is YouTube itself who I subscribed to after the year in review thing they did last year with Gangnam Style and Call me Maybe. It is a great channel but I am unsubscribing just because I can. That is all of my subscriptions and now for some results! I began at the start of all this with 153 subscriptions and I finish with a total of 41 subscriptions! Wow, that just goes to show how many junk channels I was subscribed to although, of course, I do not mean their videos were bad, some of them were actually pretty good but just did not appeal to me. As this was the last part do not expect to see a Part 7 any time soon.

Organised Subscriptions lead to an organised life, see you tomorrow!

YouTube Subscriptions Part 5

Only five parts into this and already my Subscriptions are getting clearer! So much easier to watch the videos I want without all the unwanted channels clogging up my feed. I feel so much more organised with it like this and it saves me so much time. Plus when I really want to watch an old video I can easily find the channel rather than having to sift through 150 others. You guys should really try it out, let's begin! I began with 153 subscriptions and am already back to 95 subscriptions, hooray!

Miss Glamorazzi is the first YouTuber under the pump. She is a beauty guru who I subscribed to because I watched her vlogs. I never watch any of these videos though so it is goodbye to her. Missy Higgins is another one of those Music channels, this one is for Missy Higgins. Like the other music channels I am unsubscribing. Mockingjaynet is a channel that is all about The Hunger Games and related videos. I am unsubscribing because I never watch any of their videos so goodbye. I know how shocking that must seem since I am such of a Hunger Games fan but this one just has to go. Mr Sacred Ashes is a friend who I subscribed to but am unsubscribing from because they clog up my news feed. Wow, that makes me sound like a horrible person. Mychonny is a popular comedic YouTuber who I remain subscribed to because he is genuinely funny. Nerdist is a channel on YouTube that features many celebrities and has comedic videos. I am unsubscribing as I only subscribed for a mini web series they used to have which featured Neil Patrick Harris (it was called "Neil's Puppet Dreams"). NigaHiga is one of the popular comedic YouTubers who I enjoy watching because he is genuinely hilarious. I have used genuinely too much when it comes to comedy recently, I really have to stop. However, I will not stop my subscription to NigaHiga. Nightly News at Nine is a channel featuring a Lego Stop-Animation Web Series. It is funny and made out of Lego, of course I am maintaining my subscription!

Obtbone08 is a channel I have no idea how I subscribed to, I guess it's a goodbye to them too. Official Psy is of course the official Music Channel of Psy, the K-Pop sensation behind Gangnam Style. As it is one of those Music Channels I am unsubscribing. Official WICKED is the official Channel of the musical Wicked. I am subscribed to it as it includes behind-the-scenes videos and extras as well as other Wicked-Related videos. I am definitely remaining subscribed. Optic Movies is yet another of the channels I can not remember subscribing to so it is goodbye to whatever they are. Other iJustine is the Vlog channel of iJustine that I am remaining subscribed to because I like watching Vlogs. Pano T is an 18 Year-old YouTuber who just graduated from High School that makes videos on his thoughts on things as well as some other comedic videos. I like watching him because he has interesting views and opinions and a funny way of explaining them. PewDiePie is a popular YouTuber I subscribed to because I thought he was good but I never watched any of his videos that I actually enjoyed so goodbye. Pistol Shrimps make comedic shorts and web series which I really enjoy but I have not watched any of their recent videos and they say if you do not wear something for a long time you are most likely not going to wear it again, why can't the same be said for YouTube channels? Goodbye Pistol Shrimps. Also, just because I unsubscribe from a channel does not mean it is not good. The reason I link the channel is so that if it seems like it would appeal to you it can be checked out. Pointless Blog is a British YouTuber I do not actually watch anymore so it is a goodbye to him, even though he is good. Pointless Blog TV is the Vlog channel of this British YouTuber, I do not watch these vlogs though so goodbye to him also.

Pokemon is the YouTube channel of Pokemon but I never actually watch any of their videos and if I do want to watch them then I just search for it. Goodbye Pokemon, you could not catch me. Potter Puppet Pals is the official YouTube channel of the Potter Puppet Pals and I am not unsubscribing because I do genuinely enjoy their videos. They are pretty funny. PRJSCHS is the YouTube channel of one of the English Teachers at school who made videos related to the course work that helped me study for exams, however I no longer watch his videos and am unsubscribing for now. I may subscribe again if I need to. Rayeboi is another friend who actually makes good Minecraft and other gaming videos on YouTube. I am simply unsubscribing because I think he said he was stopping making videos so at least this time I do not sound so heartless. Reckless Tortuga is a channel that makes comedic sketches which can be funny. I have not watched any of their videos recently so it is a goodbye to them as well. Wow, I have just realised that I have not kept many of my subscriptions in this part. It just shows how many of the channels I subscribe to I do not use anymore. Roller Coaster Dude 96 makes Roller Coaster Tycoon videos on YouTube which I used to like but he has not uploaded a video in a long time so he is losing me as a subscriber. Rowan Atkinson is a YouTube channel that is filled with videos of numerous Rowan Atkinson comedy sketches. I am remaining subscribed because, in true Rowan Atkinson form, it is hilarious. Sawyer Hartman is a YouTuber who makes short films and puts them on YouTube. The short films are really good but I just do not have the time to watch them all the time so he is yet another user I am leaving behind. Sawyer Hartman 2 is his Vlog channel which I am also unsubscribing from. At the end of Part 5 I am down to 76 subscriptions, which is a lot since I was at 95 at the start.

Don't let too many subscriptions get you down, see you tomorrow!

YouTube Subscriptions Part 4

Wow, it is already Part 4 of this and my YouTube is becoming so much easier to view now as all the videos I can see are the ones I want to be able to. It is so much easier to navigate now and I really think this a good idea to clear up your YouTube and stop wasting time sifting through videos you are never going to watch. I began at the start of Part 1 with 153 Subscriptions and have already cut it back to 112 as of the end of Part 3. I can already tell the difference and can not wait to keep going so let's start! Just remember that every 2 days I post a new part so watch out for them.

Jimmy Smith is just another friend that I am unsubscribing from to save some space, he has no videos. Joey Graceffa Games is the gaming channel of a YouTuber I subscribe to who Vlogs.

YouTube Subscriptions Part 3

This is the third Installment of me going through my YouTube subscriptions and unsubscribing from the ones I no longer watch. I am doing this because I have way too many YouTube subscriptions and can never find the videos I actually want to watch. Click here for Part 1 and then every second day after that is the following part. I started off with 153 subscriptions at the start of Part 1 and have already cut back to 127 subscriptions by the end of Part 2. If you did not realise I release these posts every second day so you do not get bored of the same thing repeated. Enjoy!

Flash Mob the World is a channel devoted to videos of Flash Mobs all over the World. Some of them are actually pretty cool but I do not watch their videos anymore so it is time for them to go. FleurDeForce is a Beauty Guru YouTuber who makes beauty and Fashion Videos. I only subscribe to her because I subscribe to her Vlog channel though now I am going to unsubscribe from this channel because I only watch her Vlogs now and never the videos on her main channel. Most of what I watch on YouTube actually is Vlogs so there a few more of those types of channels coming up. FleurdeVlog is the Vlog channel of the previous YouTuber I was discussing which I am going to remain subscribed to (this channel, not the previous one). Florence and the Machine VEVO is another music channel I am going to unsubscribe from. Frankie Prenot is a YouTuber who makes videos on Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 which I used to enjoy watching. I do not anymore though and so will unsubscribe. Free Magic Live Videos is a channel all about Magic Tricks and how to do them. I stumbled across it one day and have yet to stumble back upon it, unsubscribing for sure.

Image Source: http://www.youtube.com/user/FreeMagicLiveVideos

Glee on Fox is the official Glee channel with music videos from the show along with behind the scenes and episode recaps. I enjoy it and will remain subscribed. Gleewarrrd on the other hand is a fan-made channel which I am unsubscribing from since I found the official Glee channel after I subscribed. GWRomg is one of the official Guinness World Records Channels but I have stopped watching their videos and am unsubscribing. Hao Hai L. is the channel of a friend which I am unsubscribing from simply because their activity blocks up my feed and makes it hard to find a specific channel. HelloxDism is a channel I am also unsubscribing from for the same reason. HeyImNatalia is the Channel of a YouTuber who talks about different things and I enjoy watching her videos and am remaining a subscriber. HeyImUncut is the channel of the same YouTuber and a collaboration with another, I am unsubscribing due to the lack of videos, however entertaining they were. HigaTV is the behind the scenes channel of Popular Comedic YouTuber NigaHiga and is very funny but I am unsubscribing because I only watch the videos on his main channel, and not on this channel.

I watch her Vlogs on her second channel more than anything (see later parts) and so will be unsubscribing from this one even though she does have very entertaining videos. JacksFilms is a channel that makes short films and other comedic videos which I no longer watch but are very entertaining. I am unsubscribing. JacksGap is a British comedic YouTube Channel made by two twins (brothers) and is funny and entertaining. I am maintaining my subscription.

May the odds be ever in your favour, see you tomorrow!

YouTube Subscriptions Part 2

So in a continuation of Part 1 I am going to keep going through my Subscriptions on YouTube and unsubscribe from those I do not watch. I am doing this because I have way too many subscriptions that clog up my YouTube and keep me from seeing the videos I want to see. A new part comes out every second day so you guys do not get bored of the same thing every day. I started off at the beginning of Part 1 with 153 subscriptions and by the end of Part 1 had already cut down to 143 subscriptions which is where I am starting from now.

Captain Sparklez is a user who makes Minecraft videos. This ranges from actual game-play, to map building, to mini-games and also animated music videos. The music videos are great but since they are the only reason I subscribe I am going to unsubscribe. Chonny Day is one of My Chonny's (comedian) other channels but the videos on here are very entertaining so I am going to maintain my subscription. Collab Down Under was a collaboration channel on YouTube where some Australian Teenage YouTubers made Videos. It has since stopped as will my subscription. Cyanide and Happiness is a channel I originally thought as the makers of the Cyanide and Happiness animations but found out shortly after it was not. I just did not unsubscribe but I will now. Daniel Timms is another Australian YouTuber I came across on YouTube but I stopped watching his videos so it is a goodbye from me too. Dayviideo is the brother of one of the YouTubers I watch a lot and I began to like his videos so I am also remaining subscribed to him as he just makes vlogs and other videos about past experiences and his thoughts.

Death By Illusion is a user that posts videos of Point of Views on Rides such as Roller Coasters at various theme parks in America. I will unsubscribe from him because I have stopped watching his videos. Delta Goodrem VEVO is another Music Video channel I will unsubscribe to. Depcat is a channel who uploaded random videos and I have no idea why I subscribed to him, funny how that happens a lot to me. Disney History is a channel that has lots of videos on the History of Disney Parks and Disney itself. I really enjoyed it and found it interesting but have not watched one of their videos in a while so am unsubscribing for that reason. Disney Movie Trailers is a self-explanatory channel which I am unsubscribing from simply because I do not want all their uploads clogging my feed. Disney Parks is a channel I am remaining subscribed to as it has interesting behind-the-scenes looks at Disney Parks Attractions as well as some past and upcoming attractions. DumbWays2Die is the channel for the Dumb Ways to Die campaign I made the post about a few weeks ago. I am unsubscribing because it has been a long time since the last upload.

Eeeverythingyouneed (no error) is another one of those channels that I have no idea as to why I subscribed to them, goodbye. Ellen Fun House is a fan-made channel of some old clips from The Ellen Show featuring Ellen Degeneres, I am unsubscribing as I am already subscribed to the official Ellen Show Channel (see below). Eric Cartman is another channel I subscribed to while watching South Park clips on YouTube. I am unsubscribing however because I never watch their videos anymore. Evil Iguana Productions is a channel that makes short comedic videos but I no longer watch their videos and am unsubscribing. Explosm Entertainment is the channel behind Cyanide and Happiness and I subscribed for this reason. Since there has been no recent uploads I am unsubscribing. Fact of the Day is a collaboration channel between some of my favourite YouTubers that produces short (around 30 seconds to a minute) videos on a fact every day. Each day is a different YouTuber and Category but I am unsubscribing because I do not watch their videos anymore as I do not have the time since I watch all their other videos. That is it for today, I started with 143 subscriptions and am already back to 127 subscriptions! Be sure to check back in 2 days for Part 3!

YouTube Subscriptions Part 1

YouTube subscriptions: I have way too many of them! Every time I go on to YouTube my home page is clogged with channels I watched once and absent-mindedly subscribed to. It really is very annoying because I only watch a few channels regularly and a few more less regularly. Most of the channels I subscribe to I do not even watch anymore! First World Problems, I know. In today's post I am going to go through my YouTube subscriptions and why I subscribed to them. I will unsubscribe if I can not think of a reason why I still subscribe. Wow, this is going to be great! For me, I mean, you may enjoy it though. This is the first part of it and a new part will be posted every second day at 6 pm. I say at 6 pm because I am writing them all tonight and scheduling them for release at that time.

I begin with 153 Subscriptions so lets see if we can get rid of some. The first user/channel on my Subscription list is 39ShadowMan who makes some cool K'nex creations but I only ever watched his videos once so he's gone. AdeleVevo is next on my list and, of course, it is the Vevo channel for Adele which means it is a YouTube channel where all her music videos and other related stuff from Adele goes. If I ever want to watch one of her music videos I will just search it up so she is also gone. Another user is Alyssa Poppin who does music covers, original songs and vlogs (video-blogs) but I rarely watch her videos so she is gone also. Amy Poehler's Smart Girls is the YouTube channel where Amy Poehler (famous Hollywood Comedian) and other girls discuss things and also have interviews with influential women in Society. I only ever subscribed to this video because another user I subscribe to appeared on their channel. Sorry Amy but you are also going. Wow, four channels in and I have yet to keep 1 subscription.

Now for a channel I may keep my subscription to: Anthony Padilla who is one of the men from Smosh (the most Subscribed channel on YouTube) but he is starting up a new channel with his girlfriend (watch us live and stuff) so I am going to unsubscribe from this one (Anthony Padilla, not Smosh) and subscribe to their new one. Sorry Anthony but you are gone. AntonElmvik plays the Piano and I am unsubscribing from him since I do not watch him. Australian Open TV is the official YouTube channel for the Australian Open but I do not watch Tennis anymore so they are gone as well. AVByte is a channel that makes Music Videos/Parodies of things but I never watch them so goodbye! Bad Lip Reading is the first channel I am going to remain subscribed to because they are genuinely funny and I enjoy watching their videos. As the name suggests it is a channel which makes Bad Lip Reading videos which are funny. Baracks Dubs is yet another I am remaining subscribed to and it is one where they take clips of Obama's speeches and mix them together so it sounds like he is saying the words of a song. They also put backing music so it is really good. Barely Political is another comedy channel I enjoy watching and does a variety of comedic things I want to watch. I am remaining subscribed to that channel and I recommend you subscribe to it too.

BBC America TV is a channel I subscribe to which is the official one of BBC America where they have all the television show trailers and some behind the scenes. I like it because it has Doctor Who on it which I watch so I am remaining subscribed. Big Brother AU is the official channel of Big Brother Australia which I watch for behind the scenes extras of Big Brother as well as a look at the Audition Process and where past contestants are now. I am remaining subscribed to this. Black Box TV is a YouTube channel that makes short films and web series in a horror genre. I am unsubscribing from them because I rarely watch their videos although they are great. Brian Hill is a channel that has some material relating to my local CFA of which I am a member but I am unsubscribing because I only ever watched the videos once or twice. Camerax Life (no error) is a channel I do not even remember subscribing to and I have no idea why I did so, goodbye. That is all the YouTube Subscriptions I am going through in this post. At the end of this post I now have 143 subscriptions, already cutting down a lot. Be sure to check back in 2 days time for Part 2!
