I think the algorithms and media advertising are setup to monetize outrage and he got big precisely because he was willing to say and do anything for attention.

If not for the algorithms we'd probably not ever have known who pewdie pie is and tbh we'd all be better off forgetting about him.

I'm tired of people talking about the "responsibility of celebrities" - most of them are only there because they're shitty. The system filters for it.

then people shouldn't bitch about it when they get backlash

The bitching is encouraged by algorithms. Idk if you've seen the youtube drama bullshit scene but its all bitching all the time. The only way to stop it is to leave platforms utilizing conflict algorithms and work on fostering communities that don't celebrity worship.

sorry I meant bitching in the comments that he's still being perceived as a nazi.

Oh yeah the amount of grace people extend to celebrities is insane and the fact he got big on youtube should all be evidence anyone needs that he's a piece of shit.
