The Ultimate YouTube Iceberg

This iceberg was inspired by PottedPlant's Massive YouTube Iceberg and philosareantichrist's The Endless Internet Iceberg. YouTube icebergs have become extremely oversaturated ever since the release of PottedPlant's Massive YouTube Iceberg, with the majority of those icebergs released after August 2021 (the release date of the final version of PottedPlant's iceberg) simply recycling knowledge from his and parroting them as their own. This iceberg has been created to showcase the fact that a large, unique and interesting iceberg can still be created based around an extremely oversaturated topic like YouTube. This iceberg was not created to dethrown or throw shade at PottedPlant or anyone who covered the iceberg, but rather to allow something fresh within the iceberg charts and YouTube communities.

Tier 1: Outsider Knowledge

These entries are known to even those who don't use the platform in any manner. If you don't know literally any of these then you aren't fit for this iceberg at all.

Tier 2: Common Knowledge

These are basic knowledge to those who frequent the platform once in a while. You don't necessarily have to use the platform everyday to understand these.

Tier 3: Modern Knowledge

These entries are moreso known to newer users of the website or to people who pay attention to modern commentary channels. Older users who have not used the platform in a while or those who aren't that into the controversial side of YouTube might not know some of these.

Tier 4: Nostalgia Central

Since most of the entries on this tier have came out of the limelight, they are usually considered historic within the YouTube scene. With a timeframe of 2005 to 2017, this tier potentially alienates newer users as they are unlikely to recognise as many entries as those who have been around longer.

Tier 5: “Weird Side” Fanatic

People recognising the entries on this tier commonly frequent the alleged “weird side of YouTube”. Despite what some users may believe, YouTube can be the host of some really unusual content; from this point onwards, the iceberg will become weirder and creepier as it descends.

Tier 6: Forgotten Relics

At a glance, this tier is extremely similar to the one which cam before it. However, these entries aren't as “bump in the night” and are rather forgotten relics of YouTube's past. Creepy content still seeps through the cracks, but not nearly as much as the previous tier.

Tier 7: Widespread Mysteries

Entries here are common knowledge for those interest in the mysteries of this platform. Well-known content creators who cover creepy or weird content will have likely covered some of these at some point. Either that or the stories have gained prevalence for being unusual without the assistance of content creators.

Tier 8: Down the Rabbit Hole

From here, the content only becomes more mysterious. People who know most of these entries have shallow knowledge in the “weird side of YouTube” and internet mysteries overall. All of these entries here likely wouldn't be known by the average user.

Tier 9: Obscure Oddities

These entries are likely to have slipped away from the knowledge of creepy content creators and are instead known through forum posts and one-off mentions in lists of content alike. People with a more vast knowledge on abnormal content scattered around the web might know these.

Tier 10: The Point of No Return

Even those who know these YouTube oddities might not even be able to explain what they are because of their high obscurity. Being capable of knowing the majority of these entries is a complex challenge.

Tier 11: Arcane Enigmas

The chances of a YouTuber covering most of these topics is extremely low. Entries that fall into this tier are likely only known to those who discover them, making them properly unknown. If they were posted onto forums or other social media sites, they would've had practically no recognition.

Tier 12: Hidden Knowledge

Entries on this tier are found on the lower tiers of most icebergs around similar topics to this. The innocence of those who can identify all of these entries has been completely drained at this point.

Tier 13: World of the Unknown

These entries are so obscure that they don't appear on the majority of icebergs which cover the same (or similar) topics. You cannot know any of these entries without having hit "the deepest trench of YouTube".

Tier 14: ???

The content on this tier has either never existed or hasn't been available to the public for a long time. These aren't well-known either, meaning that they've likely never been formally archived by those who viewed them. If they have, it's an extremely rare case.
