The way he just blew off the 50/50 split criticism was pretty gross. Basing it off of Youtube's bad-relative-to-the-rest-of-the-market 45/55 split, and then making it worse is not great, especially when coming from someone who makes YouTube content for a living.

Why do you care? People do a lot of stupid and wrong things, you don't have to care or share these things. See my example: I read about this backround image app or whatever is this, I thought "yeah, it's stupid and I don't care" and moved on with my life. Never thought about this again until you posted this here. There are a lot more important things to be angry about. Ignore the unnecessary. This guy makes nicely edited reviews, that's all, forget the extra bullshit around that. Your life will be better.

I mostly agree with you, but "eh, who cares?" isn't the moral high ground you're trying to portray it as. I guess good for you for not raising your blood pressure over this stuff, but there are genuine reasons for criticizing the capitalist consumerism these minor celebrities push on their followers. Even if mkbhd's product in this case is virtual, it's part of a culture of unsustainable overconsumption and wealth hoarding. It's fine for you not to care, but that's not a more enlightened position, it's just apathy.
