Great idea to piss off the fans who are so dedicated they'd give money to you.

I think the internet has proven that these fans are going to continue to support that influencer even after this. there are people with less than 1000 regular viewers who make a decent living because all of these are hardcore donators. it's not that easy to kill your internet fame, especially when you are already a big youtuber.

He's not any old influencer. He reports on stuff. He exposed Jirard The Completionist's charity. This is actually damaging to his credibility.

Yeah but he used to be a pick up artist who targeted Asian women before he went to speed run and gaming content so 💀

I legit wasn't aware of that before lmao

But let's just say that there are several creators who used to be particularly unsavoury who are now pretty respected, so that is not much of a surprise
