Ed Sheeran 's done it. So has Shawn Mendes , Metallica , and the Backstreet Boys . Now, Jimmy Fallon's handed the banana shakers to Weezer. For one of The Tonight Show 's most beloved recurring segments, Weezer joined Fallon and The Roots to perform a cover of A-ha's classic "Take on Me" using classroom instruments.  We're talking mini tambourines, wood blocks, kazoos — the works, all with that iconic animated overlay from A-ha's music video.

But the allegations got a boost over the weekend when two creators published videos pointing out how they think YouTube goes about blocking LGBTQ content from making money. YouTube Analyzed fed more than 15,000 words used in titles to YouTube's bots to figure out what the platform deems too scandalous for advertisers. Words that triggered demonetization in his tests include "gay" and "homosexual." Another channel, Nerd City, then broke down YouTube Analyzed's data in the acid trip of a video seen above. Before tackling YouTube's shadowy demonetization policy, Nerd City was known for diving into Jake Paul's insidious marketing schemes, exposing family vlogging channels as exploitative, and highlighting obviously edited Instagram photos as bad for young followers' self esteem.
