“	Officially Amazing	”
―Guinness World Records

Guinness World Records is an English publisher known for their books of world records.

They joined on November 21, 2006, and uploaded their first video two days later. The first is a highlight of the Guinness World Records Day 2006. Then, on August 20, 2012, they created the GWR KIDS channel, which they uploaded to two months after the channel was created.

Guinness World Records

On their main channel, they upload compilations and clips.

GWR KIDS

On their other channel, GWR KIDS, they used to upload shorts because YouTube Shorts was popular. Before they uploaded shorts, they used to upload episodes of their other shows.

In 2021, the channel was rebranded to "Guinness World Records Kids".

Controversy

Taking down videos

In late-July 2023, Guinness World Records began taking down and copyright striking multiple YouTube videos with the word "world record" in the title, along with their logo in the thumbnail. The first mention of it was DuckyTheGamer's video, "i carried a Fortnite Mobile WORLD RECORD HOLDER! (most solo wins in the world)", which had about 200,000 views and released 4 years ago.

On July 31, 2023, LazarBeam's video, "Breaking EVERY FORTNITE WORLD RECORD" was taken down with 26 million views, along with some of Preston's videos, resulting him having two strikes.

On August 2, 2023, Danno released a YouTube Short, talking about the situation, mentioning a similar incident with TheFineBros copyrighting the word "REACT".

This has resulted multiple YouTubers changing their thumbnails and titles removing the logo and the word "world record" to avoid getting a copyright strike.

On August 8, 2023, JackSucksAtLife contacted Guinness World Records, which they responded that a bot did the strikes, and his videos were safe from the strikes as his videos are official world records by Guinness.

Trivia
