Wavy eyebrows are yet another wacky makeup trend that has taken over the beauty industry. The look was first spotted on the makeup artist, Jessica Brodersen’s Instagram page (@instabeautybyjess).

Hashtag: #stopbuzztheives

Buzzfeed is an internet media company located in New York. Founded in 2006, it has 11 Youtube channels, with more than seven billion views per month across those channels. The first accusation of Buzzfeed stealing from smaller Youtube creators began in June 2012, when staff writer Matt Stopera was accused of plagiarizing other creators. It has become a more recent issue as Youtuber Jaclyn Glenn has had two incidents of video theft in the past three weeks. In recent months, more and more Youtubers are claiming Buzzfeed for stealing their original content ideas, and video layouts. The hashtag began circulating the internet when Youtuber Akilah Hughes’s introvert video was stolen and copied, and she created the hashtag in February 2017.
