YouTube vs TikTok

The rap takes aim at a number of individuals as mentioned and the very platform – YouTube – which has propelled him to stardom. Carry Minati hits out at YouTube for removing the “YouTube vs Tik Tok: The End” video. The YouTuber mentions how videos like his are YouTube's bread and butter and the company was being hypocritical in removing his video.

The “YouTube vs Tik Tok: The End” video was uploaded on May 8 and went viral, but it was also criticized by many and later took down by YouTube for violating its terms of use. Before being pulled, the video had garnered over 75 million views and helped Carry Minati get millions of new subscribers. In fact, as per data from Social Blade, Carry Minati has gained over 9.5 million new subscribers since that video came out less than a month ago. Carry fans had also taken to social media “seeking justice” for the YouTuber and TikTok's app listings on Google Play Store and Apple App Store bore a brunt of it.

In his rap video, Carry Minati also takes a jab at TikTok creator Amir Siddiqui for “playing victim card”. It was Siddiqui who was primarily roasted in Carry Minati's YouTube vs TikTok video. After YouTuber's video Siddiqui called him out for cyberbullying. During this whole feud, Amir Siddiqui's TikTok account was suspended, but is seemingly back now.

Carry Minati also made fun of another Youtuber Dhruv Rathi and popular comedian Kunal Kamra. Kamra had recently made fun of Carry Minati's roasts and claimed to school him in the art of roasting. Rathee, who normally tackles political and social issues in his videos, had earlier published a video on TikTok vs YouTube debate and Carry Minati called him out for trying to benefit from the trend.
