    I remember the JonTron scandal from 2020, it was social rather than criminal. I like a lot of what he creates and has created, so I really don’t care if it reflects who he is as a person.

      Thank you for the information! Boy, seems like a lot happened in 2020 for some reason.

        Stress, the rapid and sudden shift to everyone being part of an always-online culture, and the ongoing social disruptions. In all honesty, I believe that most of the online social / wrongthink scandals that happened in 2020 & 2021 would still have happened, but they’d be delayed and hit smaller niches.

        The lockdowns were accelerators, not always direct causes. But we did all go insane.
