"Cancel culture" is actually a bad name for what's going on. it's just one that's been recently used to explain the situation. It's more like Outrage or Call-Out culture i'd say is a better name (also names that have been used but not as commonly in recent times). I'd think those who care or follow this would know that the name doesn't exactly fit the situation.

I already said it's not an apples to apples comparison. I'm saying that we give liberties or protections to people or outlets that are doing things that benefit us or that would directly impact us in someway if they were gone or had to go through unneeded steps to protect themselves. I'd say making a website or platform liable for everything a user might post to be unreasonable as long as reasonable signposts are set among other things. You can argue if the signposts that Jared had set were reasonable or enough, but you cant argue that they were not there. The thing is that Jared's situation does not really affect most people. Just him, and his immediate friend base and business partners, etc.

Also, you can't use this website, especially this board, as a sample size of the internet and for those who are actively involved or attempt to be actively involved in situations like these. While, I admit, in recent times I have become rather antagonistic because quite honestly, I find myself often clashing view points with people here when I do post here in ways that I don't find very helpful or beneficial to overall conversation, I do find that in general people on this board are less likely to jump to conclusions and generate their own ideas based on more than the first thing they see. Not ALL members mind you, but I'd say a lot of them who care enough to post.

I'd also want to say that going from 1M to like 800K subs is not all of the story. Yeah he still has a lot of subs, but the whole ordeal basically caused him to stop uploading for months. That's a lot of revenue and good will he has to try to rebuild. He might never get to a point where we can be rely on just being a youtuber ever again. Now, do I think that's going to be the case? Probably not. But, a lot of the youtubers and internet personalities I watch have spoken out about just how much work actually goes into making their videos and how, while they love what they do, just how important it is to have consistent uploads etc. Not saying that some people can't just upload whenever and still do well (look at JonTron) but he's a pretty rare case.
