So many people I used to watch when YT first started were discovered to be pedophiles or rapists... ๐
i briefly watched Onision until it dawned on me what a massive narcissistic douche he is...
How right i was
i wonder if the fame turned them into that or they were always pedos to begin with
I'd imagine it's always been there, but their fame gave them access to a devoted fanbase willing to do anything for them.
And then things just devolve...
Probably caused a feedback loop. He could have grown out of being a douche, but his audience was built on him being a douche and fed that behavior.
So many of these early youtubers gave me bad vibes turned into shitheels later on doesn't surprise me.
