        Obviously he should’ve put it on YouTube for his fans. And then he would get away with it

          Ever hear of Crashing Out? It’s a new trend where you record yourself doing a bunch of illegal shit for the hits, and then getting as much ad revenue as you can, invest the money before the account is banned, and collect the cash when you get out of jail.

          Non-surprisingly it keeps ending in failure when the people are immediately arrested before making any real money off of this, getting perma-banned from all platforms, and the businesses involved sue you for more than you made.

          I can’t see this fad lasting, ngl. Especially with that Johnny Somali guy who went to Japan to do this, got kicked out of the country and instead of quitting while he was ahead, went to South Korea where he’s expected to never be seen again.

          Edit: For some reason I thought he was called Johnny Salami, double checked it’s actually Somali, now that’s quite the goof on my part.

            It happens every day though. Platforms care about money. I can see it getting worse.

              Exactly, they care about money. Illegal shit on their platform makes them criminally liable and open to lawsuits.

                I don’t disagree. They want to make billions, they can spend some of that policing their content.

                But… we don’t have crimes for corporations like we should.

                  Like many have said before. I’ll believe corporations are people when the state of Texas executes one.
