Toh kaise hain aap log?
CarryMinati aka Ajey Nagar, a 21-year-old YouTuber from India, has found himself a dedicated hashtag by his fans on Twitter celebrating the ban of 59 Chinese apps by the Indian government. One of the axed apps happens to be massively popular video-sharing platform TikTok.
What does Carry have to do with the TikTok app ban?
Last month, the YouTuber who is subscribed by nearly 23 million people, had released a controversial roast video YouTube vs TikTok- The End - a response to TikTok user Amir Siddiqui.
Siddiqui had highlighted the unity of the TikTok community and accused YouTubers of producing similar videos while also talking down on TikTok content. He further added that his platform attracted more brand deals as compared to YouTube and stereotyping TikTok content as "cringe" was demotivating for its creators.
In a YouTube video posted on May 8, Nagar had brutally dissected Siddiqui’s video, occasionally using strong language while pointing out Siddiqui’s grammatical errors, use of hashtags and other "shortcomings".

Siddiqui hit back on May 14, saying he was not against YouTube but cyberbullying. In the video, he said he only wanted to call out creators who roast people, leading to further harassment. He added that he hoped CarryMinati aka Ajey Nagar would take a stand and influence youngsters to abstain from bullying.
Subsequently, the video by Carry, which had raked millions of views, was pulled down by YouTube for violating its "terms of service". While it was also strongly believed the video was deleted for having "homophobic" undertones.
