I was thinking about this. It depends on whether I was doing something wrong consciously. If I'd been owned, I'd fuck off forever. If I was enlightened on how I was being a piece of shit, I'd have to go look at a sunset, but I'd ultimately thank them for helping me to stop hurting others/get out of my own way/find my potential.

i mean it's not just that what he did was wrong, it's that basically the entire basis for his career was a lie and it doesn't look like he has the ability to make the kind of video his fans expect without ripping off smarter people.

I've pedantically tangled myself into a knot. I agree with you that he went through his successful career with lack of integrity and never had the capability of being the video maker he became via fraud.

What do you mean it's not just wrong? Is it super wrong?

i mean that there are more practical reasons for him ending his youtube career beyond hits to his reputation or sense of self-esteem.
