You systematically destroyed Bowblax. Now you act like you’re not responsible for the damage done. “They can watch if they want to”. You pretty much repeatedly told the audience not to. You do have power which is unfortunate because you don’t deserve it. You’re a malicious actor. You’ve always been. Sabotaging Technicals out of spite. Bullying Michael Alberto because he’s a small creator who can’t fight back. And the list goes on. No one should take you seriously Mr Zaptie defender.

Thoughts on that Magician from Kai's stream, that caused Kai to ban all magicians from his platform?

Alright so I’m gonna be brutally honest, I’m super lazy and really don’t wanna watch all the 50+ hour long videos about this situation that Adam is posting constantly on his YouTube.

I’m subbed to both of them but apparently there is some sort of drama going on between both of them and now there’s a situation with Jason Derulo?? And who’s this Paige person he keeps referring too. Watching the videos really feels like when you skipped a bunch of lectures and then come back a week later but you’re completely lost lmfao.

Who’s bad guy here?…should I unsub to someone and not support them?….should I not?…..I’m very lost lol

edit: grammar

With all of the controversies related to nearly every youtuber now, it makes me wonder if the current CEO of Youtube, Neil Mohan has gotten into any controveries.

It's pretty common in this sub to see people get called out for poor behavior and face career damaging consequences, but has anyone ever been redeemed?

Not just survived controversy by having an audience that doesn't care about said issue. But recovered by making amends?

Has apologizing ever worked?

For creator's trying to survive controversy, does NEVER apologizing work better?

Please share examples and links to relevant threads bellow.

I always hear "peolle don't change" which yeah it makes sense to say, especially if your a victim of someone's horrid actions.

But has there been a case of a YouTuber who got exposed as a shitty person but then actually improved themselves and stopped doing the horrible things that got them exposed

(Note: for this I don't mean YouTubers who said something stupid 10 years ago and it resurfaced, I mean YouTubers who actually did horrible shit)

I've been a big fan of true crime since JCS popped off in 2020/2021 but I didn't really leave the orbit of JCS and later JCS inspired content until recently. So I've always been a little surprised by "true crime is exploitative of the victim's trauma" and similar criticisms of the genre because I didn't get that vibe at all from JCS and similar channels. The videos primarily focus on the interrogations and signs that the culprit is lying, and the victim is only brought up where relevant and coverage of the victims is always respectful.

Then I watched that show on Netflix about the Menendez brothers and I was horrified by what I saw and completely understood what people meant by true crime being exploitative. I cannot believe that shows like these are the actual mainstream of true crime. They get attractive actors to play the culprits and they're able to choreograph everything in interrogations to paint whatever picture they want of the suspects. The truth gets distorted at so many points and it becomes clear that this is more drama than it is showing the circumstances of a crime and how it gets solved.

So I've researched around a bit to get a feel for the different types of true crime and I've categorized it into what I think is ethical and what isn't. What do you guys think?

Those Tiktok videos where someone does their nails while details of a crime plays out: unethical (I couldn't believe people did this)

Shows like Monsters where the primary content is of actors recreating the crime/interrogation/etc: unethical because there are so many details that are lost in translation with body language, pauses, sweeping camera angles, etc. The show is using the deaths of victims to write their own story about what happened, and it's clear that the profit motive creeps in to distort some of the reality.

YouTube channels like JCS where the primary focus is on real interrogation footage: Ethical? I think? The primary focus is to educate on how these criminals are caught. The videos are respectful of the victims where they are referenced, and they educational content is useful beyond just the specific crime itself; eg I've been able to use some of what I've learned to identify dishonest behavior in some of my "friends" and have distanced myself from them.

YouTube channels like Explore With Us: EWU uses mostly real interrogation and bodycam footage but the educational aspect seems really lacking and often you just get mentally ill teenagers crying in an interrogation room when it's already 100% clear they did the murder(s). I think this leans more towards unethical.

I remember Dogpack said he had more info but was waiting for Beast to debunk his other claims before he made another video. Its claims like that i feel like dogpack has solid evidence on certain things. For example, dogpack knows the dangers of slander with no evidence. He also said he had a lawyer. He might have evidence that he cant show onlune do to legal reasons but the evidence would hold up in a court room if Jimmy tried to sue him. I admit that some of the stuff he's done is stupid and idiotic.

This is going to sound weird, but I need some help. I am making a yearly review for this year and it didn't seem like that much happened between February and August. Now granted I should have taken better notes, but I don't remember much drama happening in those months. And if you can't think of anything, is there any way of checking the months on this subreddit?
