Apparently, this particular banned video ends with photos from JonBenet Ramsey’s autopsy.
According to him (and another guest-appearing YouTuber), the compilation video’s subject matter deals with child death and injury, and images from war zones specifically. One such reaction video I stumbled upon while researching my original TikTok topic dealt with a notable YouTuber watching and responding to one of the most banned videos on the internet, which is listed on various NSFL (not safe for life) or “worst (insert noun)” icebergs. But even more concerning are the reaction-style videos, which necessitate finding the entries listed in the iceberg to “react” to them-if the content creators are being honest (admittedly, a big if) as to what they are really reacting to. Essentially, YouTubers have to search out information regarding the content listed in the iceberg to explain it. The hazard is especially prevalent in the iceberg explanation and reaction videos. This danger can rear its head in a variety of ways. The trouble and potential danger, though, comes from content creators who develop videos regarding much more nefarious icebergs. That’s all fine and dandy when we talk about something as innocuous as Super Mario 64 (an iteration of the famous Super Mario video game franchise created for the Nintendo 64 gaming system). YouTubers have begun creating videos that set out to either debunk various icebergs, explain them or simply react to the content they convey. You see, in response to this relatively new iceberg infographic phenomenon, there have been multiple genres of videos concerning them. I found “The Banana Iceberg Explained”-who would have thought?īut more important for this column, that title-specifically, the “explained” portion-is very telling. I went on YouTube and typed in various queries for “(insert noun) iceberg” and consistently received results. You could probably find an iceberg for almost any topic you might think of. I have found icebergs across a broad range of subjects. However, the information these iceberg infographics cover isn’t always as romanticized as that of the author and founder of psychoanalysis, whose methods very probably influenced the current fad. “How deep does it go?” is always the question.Īlthough not implicitly stated and perhaps unknowingly accomplished, this method of modeling data most likely owes quite a bit of credit to the “iceberg theory” often attributed to Ernest Hemingway and the “iceberg metaphor” generally ascribed to Sigmund Freud. As the data moves downward toward the surface of the water and then makes its way into the deep, dark depth of the ocean, the information becomes less and less known or available-it’s the details that we, the audience, cannot see or detect in most situations. The iceberg will often have knowledge commonly known or widely accepted at the top-it’s the “tip of the iceberg,” after all. And their point, to be fair, can vary depending on their audience. Often, the information the content creator wishes to convey is overlaid on an image of an actual iceberg to help further their point. Icebergs, for the intents and purposes of this column, are graphics created by users to demonstrate the different layers or levels of a particular topic. When I began the TikTok research, I found myself on a few different YouTube channels discussing “icebergs”-no, not the slow-moving, slowly (but exponentially quickly) melting variety rather, the informative, illustrated category. But as I prepared to write, my research led me to a more general and widespread issue I felt compelled to cover. This article was originally going to be about the dangers of TikTok (I’m not a fan), and I may still come back to that in a future column.
