YouTube Channel Review
When Plugged In reviews a YouTube channel, we hope to help parents discover which YouTubers are appropriate for their family—and which aren’t.
In a different sort of way, Lachlan, the voice behind the YouTube channel SunnyV2, might just accomplish a similar task.
The channel’s documentary-style videos focus on influencers—and most of them can be found on YouTube or Tik Tok. The nearly half-hour videos tend to explain one of two things: why an influencer is popular or, more likely, why they’re falling from the spotlight.
These exposés just might include some revealing or shocking content that aren’t appropriate for younger audiences.
POSITIVE CONTENT
Lachlan offers well-edited videos that fall in the realm of documentary. The videos are well-researched, and they draw their viewers in with (typically) satisfying conclusions. Additionally, for those who are looking to be “in the know” regarding YouTubers, SunnyV2 will surely help them to do so—particularly, YouTubers who should be avoided (if they’re still around).
CONTENT CONCERNS
Various swear words are occasionally heard (typically when Lachlan reads a comment by another person), including the s-word, “a–,” and “d-ck.” A couple videos reference sensual content, including one YouTuber who produced adult content. Another video recounts a YouTuber’s downfall after being exposed as a child predator. A third video recounts a YouTuber’s fake prank where he pretends to kill a friend in front of another friend. And one YouTuber is mentioned for his large collection of sex toys (one of which we briefly see).
Generally, most of the content on SunnyV2 is negative, addressing various on-point controversies and focusing on YouTubers who did bad things.
CHANNEL SUMMARY
SunnyV2 provides a look into the life of various famous (or infamous) YouTubers. The channel makes it quite apparent that going viral on YouTube isn’t as clean, easy and fun as some might hope it is. Oftentimes, it’s full of nothing but drama.
And with the drama revealed on Lachlan’s channel comes some content—primarily the use of uncensored swear words and the adult decisions and inappropriate actions of SunnyV2’s subjects—that parents might not want their kids hearing about.
Kennedy Unthank
Kennedy Unthank studied journalism at the University of Missouri. He knew he wanted to write for a living when he won a contest for “best fantasy story” while in the 4th grade. What he didn’t know at the time, however, was that he was the only person to submit a story. Regardless, the seed was planted. Kennedy collects and plays board games in his free time, and he loves to talk about biblical apologetics. He thinks the ending of Lost “wasn’t that bad.”
