...... Yes, because a well respected youtuber running a scam behind a massive charity and then repeatedly lying about it in stages after being caught is dramatic. This event is the very definition of drama. In fact, it may even be a crime.

I guess if you dont ever watch his stuff, give him money, or donate to charity ever, sure no one gives a shit if you dont care. But this is a pretty big deal that the community who funds both his scam and his channels need to know.

Dramatic events are not drama.

"THE WORST THING EVERRRR" is drama.

If seeing a mild clickbait thumbnail really has you breaking down like this, I honestly feel you just want to make drama about this youtuber, not that youre actually upset about anything.

Because thats such a nothing burger of a problem to have with someone talking about a multi year long scamming operation from a respected semi celebrity's charity organization.

'I am disinterested in this issue because of who's presenting it' is not exactly screaming and crying.

"Man I get its a decade long crime spree, but its so hard to care after I found out Matt Lauer reported on it" is a little bit crying, bud

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If Matt Lauer worked for the New York Post and all information came as frothing vitriol under gross headlines, one comment amounting to 'ugh' is not any kind of hysterics.

Everything since then is because you asked.

Saying that no matter what jirard does or how bad things get, its hard for you to care because there was a clickbait thumbnail about it is more than an "ugh" but you seem in love with that shovel so Ill let you keep diggin

It's never just the one video. Karl milks these things. It's gonna be like this over and over, and if that's the only way to stay on top of it: pass.

I'll be taking a similar attitude if you're immune to having your questions answered.
