a comment on a youtube video

This video is about 'the banality of internet evil' 

ArtChad talks about how Hailey Welch's crypto scam was just expected and boring, that she wasn't exceptionally evil for doing so, this is the internet enabling a boring banal evil that is possible for normal people to do.

However, it is far, far too repetitive. I'm 10 minutes in and the same 4 points have been repeated over and over again. And it's generally focused on pushing an opinion, rather an actual dissection. 

Edit: 13:00 in - this is actually pretty interesting. 

However, I think not going into the lack of legal enforcement of scams in general now is a mistake.

Also, the romanticization of the past, as if cultures without/with less internet didnt have (and still have): beggar scam rings, ponzi schemes, snake oil salesmen (both literal and metaphorical), religious scams/abuse, general corruption, etc seems very reductive and wrong. Even if not done explicitly, and maybe just cut out for time, I think the choice of cutting out something that doesn't fit the narrative you're telling and keeping things that do, is very dishonest.

I think it's also wrong to say that most people would like to be like Hailey Welch - I think, statistically, if you look at the majority of online celebrities who could do what she did and the percentage who actually *do*, the vast majority don't. 

I'd be interested in seeing the difference, actually, in the percentage of online celebrities who do some kind of scam vs a percentage of pre internet celebrities who could have done something similar, who did.
