}} ACTUALLY HAPPENED is a "story sharing" channel owned by TheSoul Publishing that joined around late May 2018. In mid 2020, all the videos were taken down for an unknown reason.

Why They Never ACTUALLY HAPPENED

 * 1) The channel is made by the same creators of 5-Minute Crafts and BRIGHT SIDE, and knowing their reputation, it's always a major red flag.
 * 2) *As with BRIGHT SIDE, the channel name is in all caps as if it isn't clickbait enough.
 * 3) They seem to be telling fake stories instead of getting stories from other people. To prove this, one must examine the videos for any dubious claims. Here are some examples:
 * 4) *Sometimes, the characters tell things that aren't even real. One example is the video "I Rebelled At School Bans But It Went Too Far". The character claims a school ban on water bottles made the news, but if one were to look it up, nothing related to the story will pop up.
 * 5) **Another example of this is in the video "I Was Bullied At School For The Way I Dressed", in which the character claims she has a YouTube channel known as "Alyson Styles" that has thousands of subscribers. However, if one were to look up that channel, they can see that it doesn't exist at all.
 * 6) *The characters try way too hard to be hip and current. For example, in the aforementioned "I Rebelled At School Bans But It Went Too Far", the character states that she has "life hacks" to pull a senior prank. They also used Rage Comics memes in some of their videos thumbnails.
 * 7) *At the end of the video "I Got Caught For Shoplifting", the character said, "Thank God it's anonymous.".
 * 8) * Sometimes, the stories are so ludicrous they don't even seem true at all. An example is a video "My Friends Think I Am Dead", in which the character states that his father got involved in a program which tried to keep them safe.
 * 9) *Sometimes, the characters would claim that they did something dishonest just to get their way. An example is a video "My Parents Hated My Boyfriend But He Changed Everything". The character in the video claimed her parents picked her up from school to prevent her from seeing her boyfriend. She claims that she slashed her parents' car's tires just so that she could see her boyfriend.
 * 10) *Not to mention, the e-mail address where people can share their stories used to link to the email address of the BRIGHT SIDE. It has been changed later.
 * 11) They seem to constantly steal ideas from Storybooth, another story sharing channel. For example, Storybooth uploaded a video of a story related to teen pregnancy. A month later, ACTUALLY HAPPENED uploaded a similar video.
 * 12) The narrators are the most horrible and disgusting excuses for humanity one could ever meet. They are always in the wrong by torturing other people, cheating or betraying others and yet when they are exposed, they try to gain the viewers' sympathy by claiming that "no one understands them". For example:
 * 13) *In "My Nerdy Sister Stabbed Me In The Back o Steal My BF", the character Joanne shamelessly "befriended" a boy whom she only wanted to use to do her homework and nothing else and in the end she will ditch. She even texted other other boys to tell them that she only wants to betray him. Her sister was the hero in the story because she exposed her sister to her "boyfriend" which infuriates her and she wants the viewers to feel sympathy for her. Well, Joanne, it's clear to everyone that no one sympathies with sociopaths.
 * 14) *In "I Faked Pregnancy to Make My Ex Come Back To Me", the main character shows zero remorse for lying about her pregnancy only to get her boyfriend back who was in an abusive relationship with her. Instead, she asks the viewers to understand her "pain".
 * 15) *In "I Faked Pregnancy To Get Good Grades In School", the character Nancy refuses to act normal and wants the viewers' suggestions to do worse things than that.
 * 16) They also delete comments that tell them they're fake, showing that they can't take criticism (and also proving they're fake).
 * 17) It seems like a channel just for children to complain about their parents. An example is a video "I Had A Strict Mom But I Stood Up For Myself". The character, Allie, states her mother was strict only for telling her that she's disappointed with her and banning her from watching TV.
 * 18) One of the videos, "I Broke Up With My GF Because of Potatoes", was stolen from Reddit. They even put the same story in the description.
 * 19) They seem to be running out of ideas and now their videos are just plain nonsensical, such as "I Met A Witch Who Turned My Life Into A Horror Movie".
 * 20) Overuse of stereotypes, like in the video "My Stepmother Hated Me So I Had To Move Out", which uses the Wicked Stepmother stereotype from Cinderella.
 * 21) The animation in the videos is usually poor.
 * 22) Sometimes the characters say something that doesn't make sense at all. An example is the aforementioned "I Broke Up With My GF because of potatoes", in which the character says, "You know that milestone any man prefers to see far ahead". What is he talking about?
 * 23) The people behind this channel seem to have a pregnancy fetish because majority of the videos are about teen or child pregnancy.
 * 24) The channel's name has a clickbait-like feel to it.
 * 25) It spawned other channels with life stories that have no proof that the stories are true at all, except they're even worse. Examples include My Story Animated, Share My Story, etc.
 * 26) In mid 2020, the channel removed all of their videos for unknown reasons.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Their videos can serve as an influence to many people
 * 2) Sometimes the animation of their videos is good, like in the video "My Phone Spent 70K and I Never Noticed".
 * 3) Some might learn life lessons from the videos.
 * 4) It spawned the “ACTUALLY HAPPENED” meme and it was hilarious.

My Story Animated is an animated "storytime" which claims to be telling true stories by children who submit it to them. This channel is infamous because the stories are not true at all.

Why They're The Epitome of Atrocious

 * 1) The channel just like these two channels is known to post stories that have absolutely no proof that the stories are true.
 * 2) The animation in these videos is low budget and horrible.
 * 3) *The lip-syncing of the characters never matches the dialogues.
 * 4) *There are so many unnecessary movements such as the characters constantly shrugging etc.
 * 5) The people in these videos look nothing like the ones in the thumbnails. It's like the entire budget of their videos was wasted on the thumbnails rather than the actual videos.
 * 6) They upload multiple videos per week which can get annoying really quick.
 * 7) The stories are absolutely boring. There is so much unnecessary and useless filler only for the sake of hitting the 10-minute mark.
 * 8) The narrators are just as bad as the ones in most of these videos:
 * 9) *In I Got Locked In My Crush's Bathroom, the narrator constantly stalked her crush Noah by entering the boys locker room and when he even came in her sights, she would go ballistic and even she reported him to the police EVEN THOUGH HE WASN'T STALKING HER.
 * 10) *Another video called My Missing Sister From When She Was 2 Showed Up At Our Doorstep, the narrator heartlessly accused her 2 year old sister of making her life hell EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS KIDNAPPED. How is it a 2 year old's fault for getting kidnapped?Then she proceeded to call the kidnapper who was father heartless even though she too was being heartless just like him.
 * 11) *In My Boyfriend Is Gay but I am Okay With It, the narrator Chelsea is okay with the cheating boyfriend because he was buying her expensive gifts. And then she proceeded to say that she's "not a gold-digger". Well that's the definition of a gold-digger.
 * 12) Just like every other one of these crappy channels, they have some weird fetishes such as pregnancy fetish, getting locked inside the crush's bathroom or locker etc.
 * 13) There are a lot of clickbaity videos.
 * 14) *One example is the now deleted I Got Pregnant After Swimming With My Friends, the narrator Felicia never got pregnant. She only feared that she became pregnant after she kissed her crush in fifth grade yet for the sake of hitting the 10 minute mark, the 95% video was filled with uncanny pop-culture references.
 * 15) The stories have every single done to death cliche:
 * 16) *The popular girl thinking that everyone is jealous of her.
 * 17) *Having a dead father, mom or the narrator's mom and dad being divorced.
 * 18) *Every adult being evil.
 * 19) *Step-parents are evil because why not.
 * 20) *The parents always being strict Bible-thumping Catholics.
 * 21) The channel cannot take even the slightest bit of criticism. In June 2020, they copyright struck Kubz Scouts claiming that he never gave the channel any credit even though he gave them full credit. After this, they proceeded to lose many of their subscribers.]
 * 22) This channel constantly changes their story titles probably to avoid criticism.
 * 23) A lot of videos contain uncanny product placements and pop culture references which compose 90% of the stories
 * 24) A lot of stories don't make any sense such being the only girl/boy in an all boys/girls town, shooting webs after eating spiders etc.
 * 25) Some videos end terribly and become extremely confusing. An example is the aforementioned I Got Locked In My Crush's Bathroom, the video ended with a slap in the face to the viewers as the girl was only "imagining" all the events. She had a condition named Erotomania.

Share My Story is a YouTube channel that uploads storytime videos. They joined on February 5th, 2018. They are controversial for tracing artwork and other things that will be mentioned on this page.

Why They're Atrocious

 * 1) As mentioned above, they are infamous for tracing from other artists as well as some scenes from a few anime without bothering to credit the original artists. This post memershade posted on Instagram can explain.
 * 2) * Even worse when the artists they trace from are actually small and unnoticed, making it difficult to find the original artists.
 * 3) Just like ACTUALLY HAPPENED, they are, yet again, just another generic storytime channel that's trying to make money on the storytime trend.
 * 4) Inappropriate thumbnails and titles can be found on their channel, even though children actually watch them.
 * 5) The narrators are much worse than those in ACTUALLY HAPPENED as nearly most of them are complete sociopaths, cheaters and disgusting gerontophiles who always play the victim whenever they are exposed of their crimes claiming that no one "understood" their sick addictions. Also whenever they try to ruin someone's life, they show zero remorse. What a horde of pigs!
 * 6) In the first half of their videos, the narrators talk about things that have nothing to with the actual story such as bragging about how "beautiful" they are or how famous they are or how they became everyone's envy.
 * 7) The stories they upload on their channel appear to be fake, which is another problem they share with ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
 * 8) Speaking of fake stories, some examples are being allergic to the sun or being allergic to all water. However it is a rare condition.
 * 9) The animation in their videos is poor. It feels like you're watching a PowerPoint presentation.
 * 10) A lot of these stories are extremely repetitive and depressing:
 * 11) *Most of these stories out of nowhere are turned into love triangles. They always include a sexually attractive girl/boy as a side character whose only motive is to steal the narrator's boyfriend/girlfriend. It gets repetitive quite often.
 * 12) *The main characters will talk about everything bad that happened to them even when there's absolutely no co-relation with the story at all.
 * 13) *The narrators are either orphans or come from strict families.
 * 14) *The boyfriends always date more than 2 girls or flirt with others.
 * 15) Speaking of animation, the animation in their thumbnails is shown to be high quality whereas the videos have abysmal animation quality.
 * 16) Despite being generic, some big YouTubers such as SSSniperWolf reacted to their videos.
