As well as the hilarious series,  the teenager recently shared the importance of closed captioning on the site.

She posted: ‘I don’t think you actually understand how we feel to watch millions of videos and not have one idea what you guys are saying because you simply decided to not add closed captioning. 

‘Imagine if I decided to make this video and not add closed captioning, you hearing people would be completely left out and lost.’
