American Youtuber and journalist


Tyler Oliveira is an American Youtuber and investigative journalist.

Videos

Oliveira posted a video where he attempted to soak up a pool using 100,000 rolls of paper towels. After he realized that it would require more than a million paper towels to do so, he attempted to explode the remaining paper towels with a firework. Several viewers criticized the video as being extremely wasteful. Initially, Oliveira argued that the paper towels would have existed regardless of whether he used them or not. A few days later, he apologized for the video, saying that he donated $1000 to the Australian Red Cross and encouraged viewers to donate.

In November 2023, Oliveira released a video covering drug use in Vancouver, Canada. A British Columbia representative who appeared in the video, Elenore Sturko, alleged that she was filmed without her consent and labeled the video "inaccurate and exploitative". Michael Manitoba was filmed while suffering from a drug overdose without his consent, which harm reduction and recovery expert Guy Felicella called disgusting. Colby Cosh, writing in the National Post, defended Oliveira and criticized CTV News for "discouraging competitors" in journalism.

In September 2024, Oliveira posted on X several interviews of Springfield, Ohio residents about Haitian residents in the city, and one interviewee told Oliveira that he saw Haitian immigrants taking over one hundred cats in a white van who told police that they were eating them. He posted a video to Youtube about Springfield shortly after, gaining 4.5 million views within ten days. NPR criticized Oliveira for not including information about Springfield police's lack of records regarding that testimony and misrepresenting a Haitian interviewee as a reckless driver. NPR also noted that the cover image was a frame from the video altered to show a Haitian man holding a cat.
