Amir Siddiqui - Was This His Plan The Whole Time?

Over time, plenty of youtubers have gained through consistency, hard work and picking trending topics to make videos on to maintain viewership. But throughout the existence of Youtube, some creators have found shortcuts to fame and popularity. Obviously, I am talking about controversies. Some youtubers use controversies as a tool to boost their viewership and following when they notice that viewership is going down on their channel. It could be pretty much anything, although a common tactic youtubers use is fake fueds. But one method that has been gaining popularity lately is negative publicity. Take the example of Rebecca Black and her song Friday. Although being one of the most disliked videos on YouTube, it has racked up a whopping 143 million views as of today. And you start to notice, that most disliked videos have a lot more views than some of the general videos. Jake Paul’s music video, It’s Everyday Bro, despite being a terrible song and hated so much, has gained about 266 million views. Keeping up with the theme of negative attention still being attention. Some people on the internet will go out of their way to spread hate to commonly disliked videos but it’s these people who ultimately end up contributing to the video’s views and eventually making the said youtuber behind the video more money. Negative publicity is a very effective method to gain viewership quickly since many youtubers make videos roasting these disliked videos just ending up making it more and more popular. And I think negative publicity is exactly the strategy Amir Siddiqui used. Keep in mind this is only my opinion and it’s just a theory.



You might not believe me right now but ask yourselves this -

Did you know Amir Siddiqui before this whole controversy?

I would assume that most of you didn’t since I didn’t know about him either. But just because I don’t know doesn’t mean it’s invalidated. Ok anyways, with this controversy, Amir has already gained popularity, regardless of it being negative. And why would he tag all of the major youtubers known for roasting on his video, it was like an asking for it, almost as if he knew this would break out as a controversy everyone would want to see unfold. Maybe this was all just a scheme, to make these tiktokers not only known to the Tiktok community but also to the rest of the world. If that was his plan he is definitely succeeding at least until of course Carry’s video was taken down. You see with Carry’s video being taken down, it puts more of the spotlight on Carry then Amir and gradually Amir will start to fade away from the very controversy he created.

What do you guys think, share your thoughts in the comments below on whether you think this was a scheme or not.

History’s August 31 2018 article titled History’s Finest Fathers state some of the remarkable parental related deeds of many reputed figures throughout history including Czar Nicholas II, Charlemagne, Mark Twain and even the father of modern science, Charles Darwin.  So in light of Father’s Day, let’s make an attempt to break down the qualities listed in their specific paragraphs, a few intriguing similarities arise to the surface and perhaps give us an idea of what the role of a good father actually entails. Sacrifice, Endless Duty and Responsibility are common terms thrown around during the conversation of father figures but what exactly are those sacrifices, duties and responsibilities. Can some acts be considered lower or larger compared to others? Are these norms beneficial to parenting or harmful? And perhaps most importantly, what attributes constitute a good father all in all? From the consortium of personalities in the article, we see that many of the men listed here had b...

Tales of Crime and Justice : From Fence to Thief Taker General Jonathan Wilde

Image
Charles Hitchens several years ago, had paid £700 to become the Under Marshal of London, the highest rank of law enforcement in London at the time. Charles needed a protégé and so he approached the increasingly popular fence, Jonathan Wilde to work under him as an extortionist and errand boy.  Jonathan continued to work for him but started realizing some of the major flaws of Charles criminal system. For instance, Charles when writing threatening letters, used to sign under his own name. Jonathan began finding Charles methods pathetic and became more and more greedy, wanting the throne of the Under Marshal for himself. Turns out luck was on Jonathan’s side when Charles became involved in an anti-corruption scandal and city officials although not arresting Charles, demanded he take a break from the duties of Under Marshal. This is where Jonathan came in, he would be the acting Under Marshal, running Charles’s gang until he could make his marvelous return.  But as soon as Hitche...

But there is much more to him then just simply drugs. Pablo Escobar was one of the most successful drug kingpins in the world and with all of that drug money he wanted to make a private zoo. So he imported several animals from different countries like giraffes, exotic animals etc. Along with theses animals he brought in four hippos. Hippopotamuses weren’t native to South America, in fact they were imported from Africa, where they are naturally found.  When Pablo Escobar was killed, the government reclaimed Pablo's estate. Giving off the animals to different zoos and sanctuaries. All animals except the h...
