    Sounds like you’re complaining about the free market. People don’t like something that was unearthed about someone, so they don’t support them.

      It’s not a matter of “not supporting”. Marbles was harassed into closing her channel and Kobayashi lost probably the most important job of his life. Those have nothing to do with the “free market”.

        Who are these people? They sound like virtual nobodies. I doubt they were ‘cancelled’ by anyone. They probably said something very stupid and got kicked off some social media app or other. Or, worse, *gasp* demonetized! Better get selling more Soylent.

          “I don’t know them so they must be nobodies”, ok.

          Did you even look them up for a second? I can remotely imagine you think that about Jenna Marbles (and I don’t think a “virtual nobody” can get a wax statue at Madame Tussauds honestly), but Kobayashi was supposed to be the Director of the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony. So not really a nobody either, much less virtual since he barely did anything online.

          Did you just google the first name and skimmed through the results page without even opening them?

              So you just wanted to chip into an argument without any knowledge whatsoever, mock people you don’t know anything about and then dip out. Peak internet discussion I guess?

                  And I think you shouldn’t be a condescending ass online, but I guess your ego doesn’t care about what others think.

                    I care what plenty of others think, but not someone throwing a hissy fit over me not knowing who some marble lady is.
