No but I'd like to see the Tates get really ill.

The lows that this pondlife scum will go to to get hits.   I wonder how 'alpha' they will feel living out the rest of their years behind bars.  Good riddance

I would check to see if he does but I’m trying to stop rewarding clickbait with views, especially when the creator is one like him.

Yep. Didn't watch just in case it puts even a penny in their pockets

Yep. The days of creators being able to demonetize videos ended recently since, on an unrelated note, YouTube now has announced a “right to monetize” all new videos. Either you shut up and take the money or they’ll run ads anyway and keep all the money (which they already did until you hit the subscriber minimum to monetize). Latest brick on the road to a glorious dystopia. 

Ok, rant over.

I'm just glad other people dislike them as much as I do.

A significant proportion of the most popular YT content creators are inveterate a-holes (or at least they act like one). Says a lot about public taste, unfortunately.

Surely it isn't worse than: Love island, Bachelor/Bachelorette/The Masked Singer/ anything Kardashian/ Housewives of Bogota etc etc etc 

 

God forbid. Sunday Night Football is NPR by comparison. The new 60 minutes.

 Air head, emo, ultra lefty, attention seekers can be incredibly tiresome I whole heartedly agree. Being left of centre, that kind of shit pisses me off more than most...but I'd take it any day over a engaging with a suspected rapist influencer. The Tate brothers are toxic scum, as is Jordan Peterson as is Ben Shapiro as is Joe Rogan. They prey on weak minded incels. Much like the scum bags in the Middle East that radicalise young men to strap bombs to their chests. 

 I would argue one is pathetic risible excuse for "entertainment" that never should have been commissioned. The other is dangerous radicalisation that leads to real life violence/death.

Neither are 'good' but one is illegal.

I don't disagree with much of what you are saying

.........but putting Tate and Peterson in the same class is a stretch

The only qualifier I would put on it, is that Peterson is far more dangerous. He used to have the veneer of professionalism and backing, but that has recently fallen away due to his antics. He's a joke. It's just becoming more obvious.

On the contrary, he oddly seems to spend most of his time these days telling people to toughen up, whilst he himself is in floods of tears. He's a junky mess.

Certainly not! In fact even the more obnoxious online creators tend to have more talent than anyone associated with those programs, certainly more than the Kardashians.

Lock ups and censure should only occur if US politics is raised and/or there is abuse/belittling toward members. 

We are good so far on this. Fervent discussion of a polarising individual. Of course, Tate would love the fact that we are discussing it at all

Truly. When people post social media "influencers", whatever that means and I don't know who they are, I'm am happily ignorant and want no enlightenment. Unfortunately, I know this one via the Jews because of human trafficking. Please let's put an end to tik tok and twitter (both of which I have no account with)
