What do you guys think about prank channels?

I don't think I'd ever actually watched any.

Is this some major hot button topic at the moment? At least two of the channels I'm subscribed to on youtube just made videos talking about it a few days ago.


I'd never really known they were a huge thing until a few days ago. I knew they existed, but I didn't know there were so many and that people had such huge problems with them.

I just, in general, don't understand why they got so popular and why they seem to be a big problem of some sort right now.
