These theories were found across the internet, they are not the opinions of Top15s or Chills.

Rebecca Black and JFK: The theory begins after Black's video for her song Friday came out.
Despite suffering from universally negative reception, the video hit millions of fews
within its first few days on YouTube.
Reception of the song aside, viewers also began analyzing the lyrics and believed they
came up with something surprising.
There is speculation the song is a detail of the fateful end of President John F. Kennedy.
According to theorists, lyrics make subtle hints to this, such as JFK eating cereal the
morning it happened, him being undecided if he should sit in the front or back seat of
the car, and the event occurring on a Friday, amongst various other examples.
Of course, non of this has substantial evidence to support.
There is no record of what JFK ate for breakfast that morning, and the time in the song is
wrong; the beginning takes place at around 7am, while the JFK event happened at 12:30
pm.

The RWBY Theory: RoosterTeeth Productions, best know for their series Red vs Blue suffered
a major blow when animator and writer Monty Oum passed.
In the aftermath this, RoosterTeeth continued to work on Oum's series RWBY, an online anime
fantasy.
A year and a half later, former RoosterTeeth employee Shane Newville released a 36 page
document titled An Open Letter to All Who Treasured Monty Oum.
In it, he made accusations the company began veering away from Oum's vision for RWBY, even
going so far as to cut people Oum wanted to work on the show.
Most surprising is how Newville claims of the cold treatment Oum's wife, Sheena, faced
from RoosterTeeth producers.
Newville claimed those working on the show were overworked and overstressed, and when
he began making complaints to management, he was let go from the company.
Fans of Oum and RoosterTeeth alike became outraged by the accusations, sending the community
into an all out debate between those who believed the letter and those who didn't.
RoosterTeeth has remained silent on the issue.
To this day, the authenticity of Newville's claims remain unconfirmed, but the controversy
has mostly gone away.
We may never know the full truth, unless anymore news is published on the subject.

Webdriver Torso: Unlike the other theories on here, this one hits the mysterious side
of YouTube.
Webdriver Torso in an enigmatic YouTube channel where all the posts are of coloured boxes
behaving in seemingly random patterns, while also producing high pitch audio tones with
each different pattern.
Like clockwork, new videos would be uploaded every 1 minute to every 15 minutes, with some
taking up to an hour before they appeared.
This continued every day between September 23, 2013 and June 29, 2017, after which they
became less frequent.
Most of the videos are no more than 10 seconds long, with rare occasions a video would last
anything over a minute.
It wasn't until 2014, almost half a year since the channel started, that people in the YouTube
community took notice of its content.
Immediately theories began circulating the internet as to its purpose.
Some believed it was some form of hypnosis method, possibly instigated by a government
agency.
Others believed the videos could be cyphered messages for agents on spy missions, detailing
orders or collecting information.
Hundreds of people worked to try and discover Webdriver Torso's purpose until finally an
individual messaged YouTube headquarters directly.
In response, YouTube explained Webdriver Torso is simply used to test video quality to determine
if there are any issues in the video software that would slow down the website's performance.
While the theory has mostly lost popularity, it makes you wonder whether or not spy agencies
have taken advantage of the vast number of search engines available to the public.
12.
Rich Kids TV: This theory led to this channel's downfall.
Rich Kids TV was a generic prank channel gaining popularity several years ago.
Originally, the theory behind Rich Kids TV was that most of his content was faked for
views.
However, a bigger theory sparked during a give away he started.
The give away had viewers donate funds via paypal, and once the funds reached $100,000,
10% would be given to charity with the other 90% being given to one of the donors via random
draw.
As the giveaway got underway, red herrings began to surface.
The charity Rich Kids TV was going to donate to turned out to be his own, meaning the funds
would actually be going to him.
Then, to further stir things up, Rich Kids TV suddenly changed up the rules, saying 90%
would be going to charity and 10% would be randomly given away, despite two videos earlier
he had stated the opposite.
This quickly led to accusations the giveaway was a scam instigated by Rich Kids TV in order
to make quick cash for himself.
While he staunchly denied the accusations, the damage was done and subscribers dropped
rapidly.
Rich Kids TV still has a modest subscriber rate, and the storm he created has passed.
It comes as a learning lesson for regular YouTube users to always show some skepticism
when entering any sort of contest done on YouTube.
11.
Pewdiepie: The more popularity you have, the more likely rumours about you will fly.
Youtube gamer Pewdiepie is the most successful YouTuber to date, amassing 57 million subscribers.
In January 2017, Pewdiepie stirred up the Internet after releasing a video of him criticizing
a website where people will do what you ask for a price.
Pewdiepie paid two individuals to hold up these signs.
After the video was released, immediately people became outraged.
Rumours began to circulate that Pewdiepie held these views.
Due to the controversy, Disney ended its contract with Pewdiepie and the second season of Scare
Pewdiepie was cancelled.
In the midst of the accusatory comments, a number of fellow YouTubers came to Pewdiepie's
defence, including fellow gamer Markiplier, and H3h3 Productions.
Pewdiepie also released a video explaining his actions, stating while he feels the Wall
Street Journal completely missed the point of his video and blew the entire thing out
of proportion for publicity, he had gone too far with the jokes and unreservedly apologized
for offending anyone.
It soon became a theory after these events that the mainstream media was attempting to
tarnish people's opinion of YouTube's content creators by going after the most popular
YouTuber, with even PewDiePie himself saying that mainstream media are concerned by his
influence.
As well as these events leading to the eventual ad boycott, with all of the negative publicity
about the site.
Though believable, this theory was never proven.

Jake and Logan Paul Feud: Youtube drama is not unheard of.
In fact, we've covered the topic before.
However, it appears with the amount of recent examples, its become harder to tell which
feuds are real and which are fake.
Jake Paul is a controversial celebrity figure famous for his Vine videos and for appearing
on the Disney show Bizaardvark.
Jake has suffered major criticism for his antics, which venture beyond the line of civil
disturbance.
In May 2017, Jake released a music video for his song It's Everyday Bro.
The song was panned by critics and the youtube community, but one individual critic happened
to be Jake's older brother, Logan.
In a reaction video, Logan stated he thought the video was bad, criticizing the lyrics
and joking "It Shouldn't Be Everyday, Bro."
In response, Jake produced a diss track about Logan, prompting the latter to produce one
of his own.
However, before the response was competed, Jake released a vlog apologizing.
As a result, Logan only uploaded part of the song before the video unexpectedly stops.
The initial theory was the video stops short of revealing Jake's ex-girlfriend, Alissa
Violet, appearing in Logan's video.
The pair received major attention and publicity for this drama, heavily growing their YouTube
channels in the process.
Now, there is a quite plausible theory circulating suggesting the feud was faked.
Youtube drama manages to bring youtubers a surprising amount of views, and several individuals,
namely YouTuber, Andrew Quo, has stated they believe the feud was nothing more than a publicity
stunt.
Evidence to suggest this has been the fact they are brothers, and from how quickly things
escalated.
Nobody knows the truth, and Jake and Logan have remained silent on the topic since.
9.
Lance Stewart: Recently, he has begun to make vlogs dedicated to para normal investigation.
These includes videos of him using a ouija board and even one of him allegedly becoming
possessed.
However, one video in particular has been called into question.
In it, Stewart and his girlfriend are asleep when he is suddenly dragged out of his bed
and out of the room, while his girlfriend chases after him.
Immediately, people accused Stewart of faking the video.
Aside from the questionable acting, people pointed out how the scene was a frame by frame
recreation of Paranormal Activity.
H3H3 Productions conducted further analysis, and discovered what appeared to be a string
pulling Stewart's leg, and also two bottles on the nightstand next to him not aligned
with their top halves, leading to speculation a green screen was used.
Now, all of his para normal videos have been called into question, leading many to believe
Stewart is faking for views.
The evidence against him at this point is undeniable, but he still has managed to gain
3 million subscribers.
Most debated is whether he is faking for views or for entertainment purposes.
Regardless of which is true, the latter is certainly still present in his uploads.
8.
Hilary and Google: According to theorists, Clinton paid executives at Google to have
searches of her name come up with positive results.
This means even on YouTube, people would find only positive videos about Clinton and her
work.
The theory was backed up by how mostly positive suggestions would appear in the search bar
when typing in her name, while it was the opposite on the Yahoo search engine.
Of course, this doesn't exactly prove anything, since the suggestion algorithm produces results
based on most common searches.
Whether or not you buy it is up for you to decide.
7.
FouseyTube: Fousey is a Youtube celebrity known for his pranks.
Last July, an apparent issue between Fousey and fellow youtuber RiceGum.
Things culminated into a face to face standoff, during which Fousey and Rice Gum exchanged
words before things escalated.
A video of the confrontation appeared on youtube and obtained viral amounts of views.
However, youtubers Drama Alert and Philip DeFranco were unconvinced and believed the
confrontation was faked.
Several days later, Fousey revealed the video was in fact faked and acted as a social experiment
orchestrated by both him and Rice in order to show the stupidity of youtube drama and
how easy it is for views.
And surprisingly, it worked.
People were angered by this, believing this was Fousey attempting to divert away controversy
about him faking pranks.
Since his youtube channel started, people have accused Fousey of faking pranks with
the help of actors in order to gain views and followers.
Several people have posted videos attempting to debunk his pranks, and people have even
come forward claiming to be actors hired by Fousey.
With Fousey himself admitted the Rice confrontation was staged, it's not surprising to see why
people have continued to accuse him as a fake.
However, none of the claims are as of yet proven.
6.
Brand Created Youtubers: There are so many youtubers under this blanket, it deserves
a general entry.
With the number of people becoming successful from youtube, a major theory has taken shape
accusing various youtube celebrities of being or becoming products of brand corporations
in exchange for money and views.
To give credit, it is true many youtubers rely on revenue made from ad space on their
videos, but theorists have gone further by claiming youtubers are being paid to endorse
certain products and even to have products appear in their videos in one way or another.
One major focus of this theory is Shane Dawson.
In his own video concerning Youtube Theories, he addressed this theory using himself as
an example.
He admitted he did post a number of videos of him consuming food or with products in
the background, but stated this was simply coincidence and he is not being paid to do
so.
With the current controversy surrounding youtubes monetary policies, this could explain why
this theory has popularity, but it is something that cannot be easily proven.
Also, many youtubers admit to selling ad space and even issue disclaimers in videos where
there is a promotion for the topic.
Considering how much youtubers rely on views for money more than money for views, it is
likely there isn't much support for this theory.
It is simply another way to attempt in explaining why some channels thrive and others don't.
5.
Shane Dawson: Not all YouTube theories make sense.
Shane Dawson is a well known vlogger who discusses a various pop culture topics, and even gives
his thoughts on YouTube theories.
Dawson came out as bye in July 2015, in a video which also confirmed his mutual break
up with girlfriend Lisa Schwartz.
Rumours began to circulate that Dawson was faking this as a publicity stunt and as a
way to garner an LGBTQ fan base.
Part of people's reasoning is Dawson still being good friends with Schwartz.
This has led to people adding another layer to the original theory, stating he is still
in a relationship with Schwartz and is in a fake relationship with current boy friend
Ryland Adams.
While Dawson has denied the accusations, he has admittedly found them amusing.
In his Youtube theories video from March 2017, he discussed this theory at length.
He even made several comedic sarcastic jabs, considering how complicated and flat out ridiculous
the theory is.
During the video, he even called Adams to discuss it with him, with Adams laughing and
stating the rumours are untrue.
Dawson also stated he understands why people would come up with this, with similar rumours
amongst several big Hollywood stars.
Dawson ended the segment by saying the rumours weren't true, he and Ryland are really together,
and he and Schwartz aren't secretly dating, but remain good friends.
There's truly no backing to the theory, so it is safe to say it is not true.
4.
Prank Academy: You'll notice an abundance of prank channels on here, but they seem to
a hotbed of theories.
Prank Academy is a YouTube series produced by the Prank vs. Prank team, Jeana [g-na]
Smith and Jesse Wellens.
The series has Jeana and Jesse teaching their friends how to do pranks before having them
do it.
The series had a large fan base, which made the following ever more surprising.
A small prank channel called Gold Pranks TV were attempting to prank someone, but it failed
when the man instantly knew he was about to be pranked.
The man then stated he was on an episode of Prank Academy, then accused the channel of
completely faking their pranks.
Intrigued, they continued to ask the man questions.
He claims to have been hired for $180, and that they practised the prank for a week.
The video hasn't seen much views, but it was enough to get people questioning the authenticity
of not just Prank Academy, but all youtube prank channels in general.
Considering the abundance of prank channels now on youtube, original ideas are dwindling,
and elaborate ones are even harder to produce due to legal and safety reasons.
Let us know in the comments what you think, is this genuine or some seeking attention
by spreading controversy.
3.
Marina Joyce: Out of all the youtube theories, nothing compares to the events this entry
created.
Marina Joyce is a regular vlog youtuber who is known to simply express her views and to
show off different clothing and products she has gotten.
Things took a dark turn when viewers began to notice peculiarities in her behaviour.
On July 22, 2016, Joyce posted a video titled Date Outfit Ideas, and this video stirred
up the youtube community harder than any other video before it.
Viewers became concerned over Joyce's apparent frightened expressions, as well as the presence
of another individual off camera.
Some even pointed out bars over Joyce's window.
This led to the idea Joyce had either been taken and forced to make the videos.
The authorities were even notified and made a welfare check to Joyce's home, only to declare
she was safe.
This would normally be the end of the story, but the situation has continued to get more
and more bizarre.
Fans have tweeted her to like their tweet if she needs help, only for her to like it,
then declare she was fine.
Then on August 7, 2016, Joyce posted a strange entry to her Facebook page, claiming she had
discovered secrets of the after life, wished to be known as The Goddess of Love, and her
plans to finance the construction of a temple in South America.
Worry once again followed, although for different reasons.
Philip DeFranco famously addressed the issue by sincerely pleading for any of Joyce's friends
or family to get her help.
2.
That Poppy: Within the first few seconds of watching any of her videos, anyone can understand
how she made it on this list.
That Poppy is a youtube channel that posts cryptic videos starring the titular Poppy.
Her videos are varied, but remain surreal throughout.
These include a video of her saying "I'm Poppy" for the entire duration, to videos
of red liquid dripping from the mouth.
Instantly, theories sparked up about Poppy like crazy, all ranging from the mysterious
to the just plain bizarre.
Several theories believe she is a member of some sort of secret organization, or is even
a robot or hologram.
However, Poppy and her director, Titanic Sinclair, have denied all such claims, stating she is
simply a pop artist attempting to do something different.
This explanation is certainly likely, considering artists such as Lady Gaga being in the spotlight.
Youtube channel, Film Theories created a video dedicated to analyzing That Poppy's videos,
and concludes the channel's purpose is no more than a parody of pop culture and how
society treats those in the industry.
Furthermore, Poppy has conducted interviews and appears to be a completely normal person,
which certainly puts these theories to rest.

Daddyofive: While most theories are either unproven or simply false, there are some that
happen to be true.
DaddyoFive was daily vlog channel showing the antics of the Martin family, which includes
Michael, his wife Heather and their five children.
For as long as the channel has been up, viewers were concerned over Michael's and Heather's
treatment of their children.
The couple would play pranks on the children, then pin the blame on one of the other kids,
only to punish them for it.
The usual child was their five year old son Cody.
The Martin's frequently denied the accusations and even posted videos of the children saying
they were fine.
However, the YouTube community considered this only a bluff and believed the kids were
being coached.
Finally, one video in particular sparked further accusations, which depicted the Martin's spilling
ink on the floor, then blaming the children and shouting at them, leaving them in tears.
Hundreds of concerned viewers made calls to authorities, and some even actively called
for retribution against the parents.
While it was unknown if these allegations would occur off camera.
After an entire week of outcry against the them, Daddy0Five's entire library suddenly
became devoid of all their videos.
Instead, a video of Michael and Heather was available, where they apologized for their
behaviour and stated they were in counselling.
Unfortunately for them, the damage was already done.
By the time the apology video was uploaded, Michael and Heather were facing a possible
sentencing, which could have landed them five years each.
Several weeks later, Michael's ex wife and mother of Cody and daughter Emma custody of
both children, with the courts citing the videos as reasons.
As a result of a theory, justice was served and hopefully the children are in a much safer
environment.
