The Social Jar #7 – Milk Crate Challenge: Game Over
One of TikTok’s viral (and quite frankly, hilarious) trends came to an end this week – and The Social Jar team are here to break down why. In episode 7, Dan, Andreas and Ryan are back to give you your favourite, bi-weekly dive into all of the biggest social media news.
The lads discuss the end of the ‘milk crate challenge‘, A change to Instagram policy requirements and the developing rivalry between Twitch and YouTube Gaming.

However, of late, it seems that the tide may be starting to turn. In a week that saw ‘DrLupo’ become the latest major name to leave the subscription platform for YouTube Gaming, Dan, Andreas and Ryan discuss exactly what the future holds for Twitch and their YouTube rival.
