You know a liberal content creator is scratched when they roll out the heavy hitting arguments like “you are ugly” and “i am wealthier and more successful than you”. Patrick Bateman level shit lol.

He’s going deep-nesting and arguing with randos telling them to unsub lol.

I hope for his sake unc is drunk or some shit. Genuinely quite embarrassing, rather than just taking the criticism that basically boils down to “maybe you shouldn’t be centring jewish feelings as israel commits a genocide in their name” on board.

I always knew he was just a lib breadtuber, but I had enjoyed some of his hip hop videos. You’d think of all people he would realise he’s acting like the Drake in this situation rn.

He’s still posting through it after 2 hours. Now he seems to be attempting to pull it back and have “good faith discussions” with people in the comment section of a youtube video. Bruh.

    I think it’s because “feeding the trolls” in the 2000s meant arguing in comment sections or some Facebook page with zero benefit and almost no audience. Now that it’s monetized and part of the spectacle, people can keep pulling the slot lever (Post button) hopping their opponent slips up and they can clip/screenshot it and go “See?! I told you he was ______” and try to leverage that into more internet fame.

      Even if they don’t slip up, simply going to their page, watching the video, dropping a bunch of comments, all that makes the algorithm go “mmm yes much engagement push this content creator higher in the feed.” It’s why I just avoid reactionary content pages/channels, besides not giving me agita I know me going there and arguing with them just rewards them, regardless of how wrong they are.
