One of the things going around hot on the internet lately is a Youtube channel called The Fine Bros Entertainment vs. the internet.
They do "React" videos where it's like "Kids react to old game systems" Where they kind of interview the kids playing with these old outdated toys and so forth.
Apparently they tried to trademark their "react" format and the internet got up in arms about it. They lost about 1mill subscribers and counting going from 14mil to 13mil in just hours.
Allegedly they've already shut down or tried to shut down others who did similar "react" videos such as when Ellen did a segment on her show about kids reacting to old technology and they've gone after smaller channels of "elderly reacts" or a site called Buzz feed that also did react type videos. The internet is not having anymore of that.
They posted an apology video explaining their intents but it was quickly removed.
