I’m sure these freak events really happened, but it seems irresponsib(ru)le to make people feel like this might happen to them, just for views

Update: I have hidden channel names in the interest of letting people know this is criticizing the tr(ul)end, and not any specific YouTubers

Edit: If you’re here to discuss any particular YouTuber, please scroll down. I’ve already had this discussion, and I have nothing more to consider or add regarding this derailment. I’ve fixed the problem by posting an edited image. Thank you so much!

    The dog lick is literally what transmitted the disease that eventually lead to the patient getting sepsis and dying.

      Yes, but the patient didn’t present with a dog lick, and I doubt it was even a consideration to begin with. “Dog lick shuts down man’s organs!!!1!!1!” just gets views. It’s not really honest imo.

        Cool, I’ll talk here then. Yeah they presented with an illness that was transmitted to them via dog lick. Still not clickbait. The dog lick caused the illness in a weird fashion. There’s nothing sensationalizing dogs, or fear mongering or anything else. It’s a weird medical case, BECAUSE it was transmitted by a dog.

          I’ll block his channel so I don’t accidentally screenshot him again in the future. I hope he keeps you warm at night.
