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.
I told you- the idea that he profited off MJ's death. The fact that you didn't understand my analogy doesn't make it wrong.
I'm not telling you how to feel, I'm defending OP because I agreed with OP. If you disagree, that's fine, but you're the one trying to get me to feel a certain way by suggesting that I'm being mean to 9Club because they were MJ's friends. So what? They made a mistake.
It's not that deep man, I'm not suggesting we cancel them or anything.
