    Exactly, he’s getting the attention that he wants, he’s in the headlines, you’re talking about it. Stop giving these people headlines.

      How am I giving anyone headlines? Do you think journalists read what I write?

        Journalists will do whatever gets engagement to show numbers to advertisers and this kind of crap gets engagement as seen here. Whenever you engage with this type of content you are giving these people a platform to spout nonsense and lies.

                So you engaged with the content, the ultimate reason why it was created in the first place. He’s not going to go through the trouble if it doesn’t make money. Might as well just scream into the void if nobody watches it.

                  Exactly what influence do you think me watching it has on anything? You’re giving me far more power than I have. And you are not going to stop me from watching videos that sound interesting to me by trying to shame me out of it. On top of that, the video has 1.2k views. Big fucking deal. Videos with people getting hit in the balls have exponentially more views. He went through the trouble of earning himself a buck fifty.
