He is exploiting the victims of Somali for his own financial benefit. He is making a shitload of money of course. It will be interesting how he tries to replace the income once Somali is gone.
This really sums up why I dislike """anti grifters""" as a generalized theme. They kinda advocate that if someone MAKES MONEY talking about shit happening, that they are an immoral person. I'm not even advocating LM is a good guy, I don't watch his shit, but I've seen far too many basically use the argument of "SEE, HES MAKING MONEY, THEREFORE HES A DICK!!!". I've seen this often, and in different spheres, and its always stupid
And this applies to non "grifter" professions, mechanics make money from slashed tires, crime scene cleaners make money from dead bodies rotting in summer heat, funeral directors make money off grief and suffering. ECT ECT.
yes, he makes money. Who cares. 15 minutes of shame, the channel I've been mostly linking for videos on this ALSO made money. And seriously if you apply this logic more consistently, you end up looking like a fucking asshole really, REALLY fast.
"Oh the news people made money covering 9/11, what assholes"
"oh the tabloids made money off kanye west losing his shit, what assholes"
"oh the news made money of trumps assassination attempt, what assholes"
"Oh the news in GENERAL make money off people not knowing shit, what assholes"
"Oh null made money off chris chan being retarded, what an asshole"
If you have an issue someone making money in such a neutral way as "making a video people want to watch about a criminal being a dick, and highlighting a public legal drama" maybe just say you hate anyone making money, as its more honest sounding. I'd prefer an honest anti capitalist socialist retard over someone PRETENDING that making money is somehow WAY WORSE than everyone else doing the same.
OR if you have serious grievances against LM, make THOSE and point out why hes a piece of shit for that.
