Come to think of it, it appears that in order to become popular on youtube one needs to have the kind of mind which is linked to this kind of scandals: basically, the more of a prick you are, the more likely you are to be popular. Or at least, it appears to be so on the English speaking part of youtube.
I wonder:
- if that is true in general
- if that is mainly on the English speaking world / USA or if we have the same in other languages / countries
- and if this is true, what is the psychology behind this.
