My point is he's always been in the realm of "comedy", whether you find him funny or not. Comedy can exist not as an educational force, but as... comedy? Many comedians you consume will reach tens of millions, but it may be more so through DVD sales/TV specials. Just because you can see PDP's subscription counter does not mean individuals who are not on YT do not reach similar figures. As I said he's not built up tens of millions of followers doing geography education, then suddenly switched to dropping f-bombs and posting memes.
Speech matters, but everyone shouldn't be assumed to be brain-dead and unable to differentiate humour, no matter how shitty it is, from "real life". Are Ben Fritz's jokes okay because he only had/has a few thousand Twitter followers? That's where I don't understand the argument of if you're popular you cannot be like other individuals? Or in this context as I've said a few times now, with said popularity comes a clear expectation of your content from day 1. He's always been posting crappy jokes, edgy humour, shouting f-bombs and generally being quite insufferable.
I'm hoping we've just crossed wires, because I don't know how my attitude is ridiculous? I would say YT could probably do better at age-rating channels and/or stating what the channel may be like when you hit subscribe. I'm not sure how they can do much more though, unless T&C get broken.
