In early-mid 2017, people began to notice weird and creepy videos ostensibly aimed at children popping up on YouTube. Many, such as the New Zealander "The Outer Light" and a channel called "Investigating YouTube", began making videos talking about the phenomenon.
It's only recently that YouTube have begun to take action. They've put out statements about age-restricting the videos, and one of the more notorious ones, a Stefan Molyneux lookalike called Greg Chism, had his channel taken off him due to abusing his daughters in his videos. Elsagate now has its own Wikipedia article.
This is the thread to discuss Elsagate.

Оно уходит сквозь постель,
В глубокую щель!"
