Since the article on Buzzfeed, the 14-year-old’s channel has gained a further 100,000 subscribers, and is less than 50,000 away from hitting one million.
Earlier this week, BuzzFeed released their latest hit piece on what they deem to be a ‘far-right’ personality. This time their victim is 14-year-old YouTube star ‘Soph.’
In response to BuzzFeed’s temper tantrum article, YouTube caved and banned Soph from uploading to her channel with over 950,000 subscribers for two weeks. YouTube also removed her video entitled ‘Be Not Afraid‘ that prompted BuzzFeed’s ire. In the video, Soph criticizes Islam, Big Tech, and social justice.
Soph’s content is known for its controversy.
She began rising to fame in early 2016 due to a combination of her youth, profanity, and her both humorous and culturally relevant content. She began her online career in gaming at 9-years-old, under the YouTube channel name LtCorbis. In the last few years her videos have become increasingly political, and she is an outspoken supporter of President Donald J. Trump.
