Honestly, let's get rid of such a toxic element in the beauty community. It's not cool anymore if it ever really was.
It's 2018 and a lot of us have probably broken our New Year's Resolutions of eating healthy, working out, and being better people. Well I propose a new resolution to not support a community of YouTube that attacks another community. I'm honestly sick of the Beauty Drama Channels trying to expose people.
Now before some of you come at my throat, yes there are stuff that I am glad have been exposed by these types of channels, for example the Too Faced x NikkiTutorials PoM collab where Nikki was supposedly ripped off. There have been some good stuff that has been exposed now to make the Beauty Community a little more pure.
But here's my issue. There's a difference between exposing corruption in the community and flat out gossiping about how so and so threw shade at another person.
These drama channels like to claim they "only state the facts" and have "reliable sources" to "shed some light" within the community as if they're real journalists. If they want to "spew the facts," credit your sources, and I mean name the source, not this "some girl at so and so" sent me these screenshots. That is the easiest way to gain credibility with your followers if you're going to be in this drama community.
Anyone (YouTuber or the supposed people that send in these screenshots) can make a fake email, fake Instagram account, or fake anything that can be considered a "receipt." It's possible to sit down and spit out lies to a drama hungry audience and call it a "source."
It seemed to be pretty easy for John Kuckian to say Jordan Byers gave him information when she stated never did recently.

There will always be a counter argument when it comes to sources and whether they should be credited or anonymous but in my opinion (because these are my thoughts), your sources should always be fully credited. It's easy to fake a source these days and call it anonymous.
Here's my other issue with Beauty Drama Channels. They make money off of other people's "gossip," speculations/theories, or other people's mistakes. They sit around a lurk for the next "controversy" and it's lame.

They want that next conflict so they can make up their own theories with nothing but the "facts" or have "receipts," spew their opinion (but they'll never claim it's their opinion most of the time, correct me if I am wrong), but then turn around and say "I'm not trying to persuade you so you decide what to think." By the time they tell you that you can decide, it's the end of the video and you've already been influenced by them. They've painted their picture of what they want you to see on your canvas.
These Beauty Drama Channels are just like a really nasty 8th grade, preteen clique. They love to look out for gossip, start it, or make up their own. Also, the infighting is so bad with them. They're either calling each other out for being fake, for being bad people, or for lying; just like a middle school clique. Their own community is so negative and toxic and when they run out of Beauty Guru conflicts to talk about, they just turn on each other.
Meanwhile, everyone on the outside of their community either fears them (out of fear for potential exposure, real or fake), laughs at them for how ridiculous they are, ignores them, or follows them because they believe they're great to "detox" the bad stuff going on with the Beauty Community.

So here's my message to the Beauty Drama Community:
Stop. Stop lying to us. Stop trying to ruin people's reputation. Stop stalking for your next bit of gossip prey on their Snapchat. Stop trying to be so negative, even if you're saying that you only spread "good vibes." Let people live their lives and blow the whistle on certain topics themselves. My New Year's Resolution to you, as a community, to start being nicer, kinder people; and it starts with not spreading gossip about people. Being nice to people is a lot better that making enemies. I do not condone this negative and mean spirited behavior. So in the words of Michael Jordan...
