It has been a while since I’ve explored the content youtube has to offer. Feeling bored, I decided to venture back to the video hosting site. I was greeted with a cleaner layout. That was the highlight of my trip. I looked to the most subscribed channels to see what has changed and found “fred.”

I understand why I stopped going to youtube. Fred is either hilariously autistic or deliberately cretinous. Actually, from his page it says:

A lonely 6-year-old with anger management issues, an alcoholic mom, and a dad who is in prison begins posting videos to a YouTube channel.

Well, I guess it’s the latter. The prominent video while I was on his channel was “Fred Goes Swimming.” It displays our protagonist flailing wildly in a kiddie pool.

When I stumble upon content so prestigious (most subscribers) yet so childish, it truly shows youtube’s main audience. Oh, and don’t get me started on the design of the channel.

YouTube – Fred’s Channel.
