    Yeeeah this is why I can’t care about this. No matter what Jirard did or how bad it was… Karl’s gonna do clickbait garbage about it.

      You dont care about some immoral and possibly illegal activity done with charity money by a very big internet personality, because one other internet personality might talk about it with clickbait?

        This schmuck is turning something you find important into drama. If the next dozen posts about this topic are more of the same emotionally-manipulative superlatives, then no, I really don’t care to follow along.

        Would me caring change the outcome?

          … Yes, because a well respected youtuber running a scam behind a massive charity and then repeatedly lying about it in stages after being caught is dramatic. This event is the very definition of drama. In fact, it may even be a crime.

          I guess if you dont ever watch his stuff, give him money, or donate to charity ever, sure no one gives a shit if you dont care. But this is a pretty big deal that the community who funds both his scam and his channels need to know.

              If seeing a mild clickbait thumbnail really has you breaking down like this, I honestly feel you just want to make drama about this youtuber, not that youre actually upset about anything.

              Because thats such a nothing burger of a problem to have with someone talking about a multi year long scamming operation from a respected semi celebrity’s charity organization.

                  “Man I get its a decade long crime spree, but its so hard to care after I found out Matt Lauer reported on it” is a little bit crying, bud

                    If Matt Lauer worked for the New York Post and all information came as frothing vitriol under gross headlines, one comment amounting to ‘ugh’ is not any kind of hysterics.

                    Everything since then is because you asked.
