There needs to be a separation between your online persona and the you in real life. I had a really long conversation with a prominent youtuber about a year or so back and he was adamant that if he didn't have his real life support circle he would have taken the criticism the wrong way at some point and done something stupid and probably hurt himself. There has to be an escape, even if you've objectively done wrong, your friends will acknowledge it, but support your recovery. When you don't have that in person support circle, and a mistake results in self-isolation and loathing resulting on you compounding the bad decision with more bad decisions you wind up in a downward spiral because your support circle wasn't supporting you the individual, they're supporting you, the content creator. They don't know you, they don't know your struggles, they aren't your friends, they're your fans. And if you conflate the two and all of a sudden your fans are mad at you it can seem like all your friends have turned on you.

It's sad. It's getting harder and harder for people to keep separate aspects of their life that allows for an escape when things go bad in one area.

Hopefully Ezscape/Darkviper don't hold themselves responsible for this, or they'll wind up in the same dilemma that brought Apollo to this point.
