However, the haunted house took an even scarier turn for Logan Paul who was forced to face the ghost of his past for a moment. When IShowSpeed swore on his life that there was a “dead body” in the bathtub full of fake blood, Logan Paul took a step back and distanced himself from the entire scenario. Looks like someone was reminded of his past at the Aokigahara forest.

YouTube, a year after it ceded the title sponsorship to TikTok for VidCon 2022, is returning to claim the top post at this year’s convention.

The Google-owned video giant has typically had an outsized presence at the annual convention for digital creators, having taken the title sponsor spot for seven years in a row beginning in 2013. When VidCon returned for its first in-person event after pandemic-related cancelations and delays, TikTok had exploded in popularity and emerged to take over the sponsorship post.

The changing of the guard, so to speak, did not go unnoticed: For a convention typically dominated by YouTube, 2022’s convention returned with an emphasis on short-form content, the format popularized by TikTok. The main stage keynote was led by top TikTok creators and TikTok COO Vanessa Pappas, thanks to the platform’s title sponsorship post, and — perhaps most noticeably — a large photo-ready TikTok statue hovered over...

VidCon, which has been delayed for three years due to the Covid pandemic, is aiming to get back to business this summer.

The Viacom-owned convention has named the second batch of Featured Creators set to attend its upcoming gathering, slated for June 22 to 25, with TikTok serving as title sponsor. The Featured Creators will include dance couple tWitch (Stephen Boss) and Allison Holker Boss alongside Andre Swilley, Kat Blaque, Lexi Rivera, and more.

The last VidCon U.S. was held in 2019, when the event celebrated its 10th anniversary and welcomed roughly 75,000 attendees and over 120 brand exhibitors. That said, the company has hosted Irl conventions elsewhere across the globe, including in Abu Dhabi in December.
