    If this is a reference to the hbomberguy drama, the actual story isn’t the drama. It’s about the rampant stealing/corner cutting/blatant plagiarism that big YouTubers are engaging in and making bank off of. They are often even lifting from lesser-known channels to make their money. It’s not right.

    If this isn’t about that, then yes generally it’s dumb lol

    Tbh sometimes I get surprised about who gets in drama (especially childhood YouTubers), but even then I just don’t want to know what they did.

    I care so little that I made a meme about it. I care so little that I don’t even know what you are talking about.

      lol, that could be apart of that meme:

      you care so little that you made a meme about it

      I care so little that I don’t even know what you are talking about

      We are not the same.

    I usually don’t either, but when a YouTuber threatens the life of another YouTuber (in this case SSSniperwolf doxxing Jacksfilms), that’s something that really makes me mad.

    People clearly do care, that’s why they manufacture drama. It helps drive engagement and views.

    Of course, it’s hard not to look down on people who develop parasocial relationships with youtube personalities.

    But some people are very lonely. So if anything we should be critical of the youtuber who knowingly cultivate unhealthy fanbases and profit off their misery.
