5-Minute Crafts

5-Minute Crafts is a stupid YouTube channel maintained by media publisher TheSoul Publishing, who also owns other YouTube channels such as BRIGHTSIDE. The videos uploaded on 5-Minute Crafts are usually compilations of DIY projects, life hacks, and crafts, though they have received a fair bit of criticism by many.

5-Minute Crafts is currently the third fastest growing YouTube channels in subscribers, gaining over 3.1 million subscribers every month, which averages 104,000 /subscribers every day, along with gaining 710 million video views every month. It is also currently the 3rd most subscribed channel (not including VEVO channels or categories such as Music) and the 43rd most viewed YouTube channel. The channel has currently established over 50 million subscribers and 12 billion video views. You shouldn't subscribe to any of their channels as all of their content sucks.

Controversy
As many people have mentioned, the channel is a content farm, churning out as much content as possible without much bother for quality aside from visual. They are managing to send out 10 minute long videos every day, with high-quality graphics. On closer inspection, you see the content they produce features very quick tutorials and crafts, each video is often a compilation of said crafts and is made to fit videos on social media apps with a shorter, quicker format, such as Instagram, where a user requires to make the video under a few seconds to grab viewers' attention and get the point across in time; since Instagram lacks a feature in which a viewer can go to/rewind a certain part of the video. Otherwise, on YouTube they talk slow and add long pauses to add length to the video.

The channel is also infamous for its clickbait, where they would display a picture in the thumbnail regarding a certain "life hack" but have it nowhere to be seen on the video itself. They're also infamous for lying about the quality of their hacks, acting like something instantly fixes something when it actually doesn't
