Topic	Speedrunner Apollo Legend found dead after posting suicide note online
Jiggy101011 12/31/20 9:29:15 AM #29:	SergeantGander posted... I've watched like a sum total of maybe 15 minutes of Keem in my life, and always thought he seemed like a jerk. I think, for some reason, we collectively forget that these people are marketing a persona and often shift accordingly to what their audience wants/what generates more views. Who we see on the screen isn't always who they truly are. We can easily separate an actors role in a movie from their real self, but the line is a lot more blurred with internet personalities. Which sadly can result in a lot of hate/criticism that ends in tragedy like this. Hate generates more clicks and views then positivity will. Its just the way the YouTube, Twitter, internet algorithm works in general. You can get lost in that spiral of hatred if your main source of income is to get viewership. I dont know Apollo but I do know people who fight depression daily and its tough battle. Its easy for me to say "its just words, ignore it" but for some those words are everything to them. RIP to him. --- XBL: F1RE v2 PSN: F1REx <cite>Jiggy101011 posted [p:948948940] in Speedrunne...
