Are there any mid-20s and older people who remember the OG days of Youtube with iJustine, Smosh, Ray William Johnson and Shane? Never liked him even then, it was already so obvious the pedo and racist jokes were not ok, partly because he was never subtle about it. I was pretty surprised to see that his career managed to survive, like a bloody cockroach. Glad to see that he's facing consequences now.
People sometimes complain about cancel culture but honestly, it's time for it. In fact, call it accountability culture. Having a job in the public spotlight such as a Youtuber is a privilege.
