Whenever I see youtubers passionately band together in solid defence whenever any of their number is criticised, or called out in any way, I just think
wow, this community is so crooked.
They never actually look at the criticisms, or what's going on, it's just "my pal needs defence ASAP!"
I still think back on that awful "sub 2 poo dee pai" campaign from years back where a bunch of youtubers, some of whom I used to think were decent people, launched this massive movement to protect a guy who was being a shit, just because he was one of their "pals".
Maybe they were worried that if he went down, he'd take some of them with him? idk
It just looks really crooked.
