YouTubers have been known to go to great lengths to gain subscribers, but some have taken it too far with their outrageous stunts. Let’s take a look at some of the weirdest things YouTubers have done for “content.”

1. Shooting Her Boyfriend

2. Lord Miles Detained by Taliban

Lord Miles, a thrill-seeking traveler who visits the most dangerous places worldwide, got detained by the Taliban. The reason for his arrest is not yet known. In 2021, he was airlifted from Afghanistan during the Taliban takeover.

3. Logan Paul’s Japan “Suicide Forest” Video
