Le place for dogelore and classic doge memes to be shared has arrived. Wow.
Cheems, Walter, Cate, and other Doge-adjacent characters are welcome.

I don't see how YouTube is to be blamed for someone wanting to be popular to the point of eating themselves to death (or any other harmful excess).
This is purely a problem of poor self-esteem and peer pressure.
I mean, they are not a public service like roads which are mandated to allow everyone. They are a private company that decides who gets to say what and who they promote. So they are encouraging him.
The viewers who continue to watch him are encouraging him, not the platform itself. 🤦♂️
If people didn't consume his kind of content, there wouldn't be a problem.
The YouTube algorithm determines whose eyeballs are on what. It's not like our feeds are 100% randomized.
Does the algorithm force you to click on and watch? Does it put a gun to your head and make you like and subscribe? Join their Patreon?
No it doesn't. The YouTube algorithm determines whose eyeballs are on what.
