YouTube at 15 is our package of stories celebrating the streaming site’s anniversary. It’s hard to imagine, but there really was a time before makeup tutorials, conspiracy explainers, on-demand music videos — really, viral videos at large. Since it’s become such a ubiquitous part of culture, we set out to look at how it’s changed our world. First, read Rob Sheffield’s investigation into its surprising origins.

Having a conversation with drag stars Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova (real names Brian Firkus and Brian McCook, respectively) is kind of like being on an extended episode of their YouTube webseries, UNHhhh. You may start talking with them about one topic, but the next thing you know, they’re off on a tangent about why Bart Simpson says “Eat my shorts.”
It’s that brand of strange, out-of-left-field comedy that landed the two their very own talk show, The Trixie & Katya Show on Viceland, after becoming breakout stars on season seven ofRuPaul’s Drag Race.

RuPaul has had it.
In an episode that had a notable first -- the queens debuted beards on the runway --, RuPaul surprised fans by unleashing a Tyra Banks-like wrath on the contestants up for elimination. Clearly at a breaking point (this early in the season) with the queens, the host was noticeably upset by their lack of effort throughout that week’s episode.
News: 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Debuts Beards on the Runway
“In seven seasons of doing RuPaul’s Drag Race, I’ve never seen a car crash like this before,” RuPaul says at one point during the show’s main challenge, a Macbeth-inspired acting competition that goes awry when the queens aren’t prepared. But it was on the runway where he spilled all the T.
“You did not know your lines,” RuPaul cutting off contestant Jasmine Masters’ excuse for messing up. After more excuses and a round of the blame game, all...
