The phrase #ThankYouCoke began picking up traction on social media after two YouTube stars known as Keemstar and Scarce cut a video praising Coke and bashing Pepsi, which is among the companies that have confirmed a spending pause.

"This is hurting a lot of YouTubers that don't make hateful contents," Keemstar says in one of several update videos he posted today in which he also attacked the Wall Street Journal for simply reporting on the issue.
