This is a reach dude. Like saying Netflix profits off of one particular upload vs. people just wanting a variety of stuff and that happens to be one of them. I highly doubt this is the video that gets a bunch of brand new GH patreon subscribers.
We're not painting broad strokes here. All GH videos serve a niche: controversial takes on skateboarding. There's no need for any Netflix analogy deflection outside of deflection.
Which bit did I get wrong below?
This thread is about a YouTuber creating content, a reaction video, for his paid subscribers.
That the video he's reacting to is a group of skateboarders' tribute to their dead friend is in poor taste.
The fact that he then suggests some sort of profit motive, (himself through a paywalled video!), is also in poor taste.
I saw the video, it wasn't rage bait.
And yet, here we are, in a thread created by someone who watched the video, bought the rage bait, and is trying to get others to feel the same emotional reaction he does.
