Getting tired of these "shock" youtube channels drumming up drama for views. It's only a matter of time before someone points the youtube cannon at these channels.

For fucks sake, Coffee is an investigative journalist, and he didn’t drum up shit. The problem has always been there, you idiots are just too busy sucking GabeN off that you can’t entertain the possibility that he isn’t the second coming of Christ.

I see your point entirely and I understand why you feel that way. Just want to give you my friendly opinion on Coffee. I wouldn't consider him a "shock" Youtuber, personally. He is an entertainer and a journalist, and pretty good at both IMO. He is definitely drumming up drama to a degree but I think this topic is especially worth the attention. I've watched the series this is a part of and can tell you that dude has done his homework. He included several interviews he did with different people that offers up a few pretty interesting perspectives. I recommend checking it out! At the end of the day, clickbait thumbnails and titles work well on YouTube and for some creators that otherwise might not drum it up it can be a matter of, "if you can't beat em, join em", but I definitely think the ends justify the means considering all of his work is what I and many others would call "fighting the good fight".

How is investigating and calling out scammers and the like "drumming up drama"?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Because I disagree with it!! (/s)

I'm not even gonna lie up until a few months ago I was somehow under the impression that Valve and GabeN weren't that evil. Learning about his 6th yacht and how they intentionally made loot crates as addictive as possible and target young people kind of put things in perspective. There's still no such thing as an ethical billionaire.
