The YouTube Sexual Abuse Scandal refers to a recurring phenomenon where prominent content creators face serious allegations of misconduct, grooming, or abuse. These incidents often follow a predictable cycle: a massive video exposé, a lackluster apology video, and intense public scrutiny. The meme-ification of these events often centers on the 'Reset the Clock' trope or the tropes found in 'The Apology Video' such as sighing, no makeup, and sitting on the floor. This template is used by the internet community to critique the platform's culture of power dynamics and the repetitive nature of these controversies within the influencer sphere.
