Shooting at YouTube – level 1

09-04-2018 07:00

Nasim Aghdam is a YouTuber. She is from Iran. She lives in California. She makes videos about veganism and healthy lifestyles.

Aghdam is angry at YouTube. She says that YouTube blocks her channels. She gets less views. Her videos are also demonetised.

The woman comes to YouTube offices. She starts shooting people. She shoots three people. One is in critical condition. She then shoots herself and dies.

Difficult words: veganism (when a person chooses to eat only food made from plants or grains), channel (a person’s YouTube website), demonetise (take away ads from next to a video – the YouTuber cannot make money), critical condition (the person has big problems with his/her body).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
