A little over a day ago, the Vid.me team released a video roasting YouTube by mocking YouTube's broken system that is now being experienced by most content creators. Titled, How to become Vidme trending -- the answer may shock you! (GONE SEXY), the video is narrated by the Very Human CEO Hugh Manson, a picture of Vidme's CEO were the mouth moves like a puppet with a very robotic voice. Which seems odd and funny but is their way of stabbing at the fact that YouTube is seen to be a faceless automated robot company. So as Vidme's video says, "It's time to shape up Vidme creators!" Here are Vidme's steps to become Vidme Trending! Salty alert, these steps may severely roast the overlord YouTube.

Step Number 1, The Thumbnail

Slowly claps in the background. Ah yes, the problem where almost every clickbait YouTube video has boobs in its thumbnail. Which has been and still is a very easy way to get more views on your YouTube videos.

Step Number 2, Community Engagement

All of this is referring to the new unofficial YouTube policy of only promoting videos that have high viewer engagement, aka likes and comments. Currently all the recommended content you will see on your home feed on YouTube is videos with high engagement that most of the time doesn't have anything related to content you watch.

Now if you haven't watch the video and haven't figured out based on the language they use. The video is portraying the Vidme team to be robots. But back to the subject at hand, they are stabbing at the fact that most of the YouTube clickbait creators promise unrealistic or fake promises to the viewer if they leave a like or comment. YouTuber Jameskii made a video pointing this out using YouTuber TheProGamerJay as an example. TheProGamerJay in his video, IF YOU ONLY SEE RED YOU'RE COLOR BLIND, tells his viewers,

Spoiler alert, if you see red you're not color blind. How can you tell someone that if they engage on your video that they will get good luck? The only way that will work is if you are some magical fairy that can send good luck dust through the screen when they like the video.

Step Number 3, Drama

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Small content creators create fake exposed videos on much bigger YouTubers to start a flame war between the two fan bases, that's if the smaller creator is big enough to have a following. If you want proof of this, just search "leafyishere exposed" on YouTube. What you will find is 57,200 fake exposed videos, small content creators trying to jump on the bandwagon for views.

Step Number 4, If All That Fails

Ok that last part didn't needed to be included in this but it is pretty hilarious. Can you guess what they are pointing out, or throwing shade at is the fact that most of the stuff on the homepage and trending tab on YouTube are clickbait, advertisements from big corporations and clips from late night TV shows. It's hard to argue that YouTube isn't doing that when the currently trending videos from those companies don't have a good views from upload ratio.

Meaning a video with 88k views uploaded 13 hours ago. Oh and this example actually happened. The video was from NFL titled Chiefs vs. Broncos (Week 12) | Game Highlights | NFL. It was the number one trending in the USA. Number 2 trending at the same time was a Star Wars TV ad with only 193,716 views in 15 hours. With videos from Pewdiepie and other large creators getting millions of views in that amount of time, this defiantly smells like paid promotion. The YouTuber h3h3Productions has a great video on this, and even called the YouTube Trending Tab the Paid Promotions Tab.
